THEODORE THOMAS

1t is the irony of fate that death
should summon Theodore Thomas to
lay aside his baton at this particular
time. Only recently was the material
prosperity OF his orchestra assured,
only recently had the great leader be-
gun to enjoy with his beloved -organi=
cation the fruits of the victory his
genius had won for it. His fame is es-
tabIished for all time; a half score or
more of years could not have added to
it. But the appreciative public of to-
day has a way of making pleasant the
path OF the man who has achieved.
There were more earthly llonors in
store for Theodore Thomas, though it
is the public's loss chiefly that he did
not live to receive them. rsss-s--es- =
In estimating his value to American
music, 1t would be difficult, indeed, to
exaggerate. The generations to come
will call him the father Of American
music, and they will point to his coming
West thirteen years ago as one Of the
greatest services he did for the cause
of music in his adopted country He
made Chicago, a city of the Middle
West, the center of the nations mu-
steal culture, and from this center his
influence radiated north, south, east
and west. Surrounded by conditions
the reverse OF encouraging, he did not
permit these to hamper or restrain him,
and the inevitable result was that in an
incredibly short time these conditions
vanished and were succeeded by others
in perfect harmony with his uneem-
promising standard. ---.@-
Music in America will not suffer by
Thomas death. His work was not I'M
finished when he died. His legacy to
the art life of the new world is mu-
steal traditions SO unmistakable, so
honest, SO consistent and so inspiring
that they will shape the destiny of the
national music of the future. 1t was
charged against the leader that he did
not especially encourage American
composers. But this was not his work.
His task was to lay the foundation for
sound musical appreciation, to raise a
standard and TO see that it was main
tanned. 1t is because he SO worthily
performed this that American COM
posers of the future will rise up and
call him blessed.

STATISTICAL MILL
Georgia Congressman Shows
Southern Press Has De-
structive Views


WASHINGTON, d. c.. Jan. 5.-The
governments cotton statistics as pre-
pared by the agricultural department
and census bureau, formed the subject
Of an extended discussion in the house
today. Representative Livingston. of
Georgia, attacked the reliability of the
governments estimates and charged
that the inaceuraey of the figures had
created a panic in the cotton market.
He said that the press of the South
was ready to demand the abolition of
the statistical bureau of the agrieul-
tural department. The question came
up on a motion of Mr.. Wadsworth,
chairman of the committee on agri-
culture, to lay on the table Mr.. Living
ston's resolution calling on the secre
tary OF agriculture for the information
regarding the method of collecting cot
ton statistics. The motion to lay on
the table prevailed.
The Hill bill to improve currency
conditions was further discussed
Nelson Gets Through
The joint statehood bill again today
occupied the major portion of the at
tention of the senate and Mr.. Nelson
completed his speech in support of it.
Bills for the reorganization of the med
lcal corps of the army and regulating
promotions of army officers in the ord
nance department were passed.
Mr.. Nelson argued that, while New
Mexico and Arizona cover an extended
area, the section has been backward
IN development and will continue to be
owing to the lack of moisture. He read
letter from Director Woleott, of the
geological survey, saying that only
about 100000 acres of land in Ari-
iona and New. Mexico, or 1 per cent of
the total area, was under irrigation or
capable of irrigation.
Messrs. Newlands and Hepburn join
ed in the debate, asking Mr.. Nelson
concerning conditions in the territories
of New Mexico and Arizona and indi-
eating objection to their union Mr.
Nelson maintained that joint statehood
would be best for all the people.
SENATOR Bailey submitted a proposed
amendment to the constitution fixing
the term of the president at six years
and making him Ineligible for re-elec-
tion.

Why prate Of peace with legisla-
tive session just starting?
A CURIOUS MEASURE

No one can speak with authority con-
corning the new bill reported by the
merchant marine commission until the
full text is at hand. In a measure Of
this kind the Objectionable provisions
are usually to be found somewhere in
it's minor clauses. On the face of it this
bill provides subventions for persons
employed in the merchant marine serv-
ice, graded according to the tonnage
of vessels and length of service. The
supposition is that this will tend to
create force of naval volunteers ca
pable of rendering service in time Of
war. The supposition also would be
that the men designated should re-
ceive the payment made by the gov
eminent. If not, where would be their
encouragement and where would the
creation of an embryo naval force come
in? At the same time the bill provides
that these vessels shall, when required,
carry mails free OF charge. Unless the
owners instead of the men receive the
subvention, this would be unjust
Clearly one must wait for further de-
tails before passing Judgment on "a
scheme SO unusual and underlined
An important part of the bill is the au-
thorization of mail contracts for from
five to ten years for carrying mails be-
tween ports of the United States and
the countries of South and Central
America, China, Japan and the Philip
pines. This will meet with general ap-
prevail. 1t is practically admitted that
one of the great difficulties of the
building UP Of our trade with other
countries on this continent has been
the abundance of steamship service
furnished to their ports by other coun-
tries and the absence of American
lines. II for limited period and at
reasonable cost American lines could
be put on, trade would be stimulated.
At the same time, it is very easy to
overdo this form Of assistance, and
such burden once assumed is not easy
to get rio of.
The commission speaks of It's meas
ure as cautious" but the total appro-
priation which it would carry is 50, Ooo.-
600 year. The original ship subsidy
bill which contemplated an appropria-
ton Of 100000 per year for ten years
was discarded as extravagant. The
cost under this bill is merely estimated,
and such estimates are never made too
high. If it is estimated that 1t would
require 100000 the first year, we can
be sure that before the end of ten years
the total expense would be very great.
No one would be justified in prenounc-
ing beforehand either for or against
the measure. and further details will
be awaited with interest.
