Mrs. Charles Wellington Rand Enter

and Oratorio Singers Who
Are Sojourning Here

Mrs. Charles wellington Rand is re-
joicing in the arrival of her music
master, Signor Janotta, in Los Angeles.
The whte-haired, black-eyed Italian
whom she is introducing to her many
friends has a most winsome PERSONAL
ity He looks distinguished and one IS
not surprised to learn that much of
his musical work has been among the
leading opera singers of the day who
are still devoted to him and who
Loyalty praise his training. The many
music lovers in Los Angeles who lived
cago during Signor Janotta's residence
in those cities are giving him a royal
welcome to California.
Warm hearts of old-time associates,
balny air, blue skies and sunshine are
doing everything possible to rejuven-
ate and delight him. 1T is like Italy
to me-this beautiful western world"
exclaimed the Signor. What a gor-
ious place for such artists as Paul de
Longpre; such poets as Ella Wheeler
NiSOAb suCH pldilSlS DIS FeJe SlOfCk!
They meet appreciation, and they have
not only the inspiration that comes
from that but they have the advan-
tages of this wonderful climate. And
then when you think of singers-why
should they not excel in tone-produc-
tion here, unless they have already
ruined their vocal organs before COM
ing TO California? There must, it
seems to me, be great future for
Southern California as center of art,
and Los Angeles as a musical me-
tropolis. Indeed, there is not only a
wonderful future but a most remark
able present. 1t makes me very happy
to be in this artistic, poetic and musi-
cal atmosphere"

AS TO "PEACHING."

The world will never have any re-
spect for the man who turns States
evidence-slips out of punishment by
leaving his associate in crime to bear
the penalty which he ought to share.
That applies, of course, to men who
conspire together to commit crime
and are jointly guilty. 1t in no sense
applies to the recent cases in prohi-
bition territory where the manager of
a blind tiger" without inducement
or collision, illegally offers to sell in
toxicants to q thirsty man who buys it.
Under the law the purchaser is re-
quired to tell from whom he pur-
chased the liquor. There is no rea-
son why he should pose as a spectacu-
lar martyr to shield the law breaker
whose business is to debauch and
destroy the youth of the community
and set laws at defiance. On the con-
trary, when summoned, it is his duty
to tell the truth to the end that the
illegal sale may be suppressed.

NOT THE TAX BUT THE TRUST.

In an address on Tobacco" at the
Southern Parliament, Col John S.
Cunningham, president of the North
Carolina Tobacco Growers Associa-
ton, as reported by the Washington
Post, "made an interesting address
upon the subject of the tobacco in
dustry in this country. saying that he
desired to call attention to some of the
needs of the tobacco growers of the
sixteen tobacco-growing States. Since
the war tax was placed on tobacco,
he said, it has paid into the United
States Treasury nearly $4,000. 600, 900,
and has been the cause of breaking
up and destroying tobacco factories in
Richmond. Danville. and large num-
Der of other Southern cities. Mr.. Cum
ingham made an urgent appeal for a
vigorous effort to be made to try to
induce Congress to remove what he
considers troublesome and uneauit-
able tax" ''Why. gentlemen" he
said. "the tax levied by England on
the tobacco we ship to that country
produces more revenue than all of the
diamond and gold mines in South
Africa"
Col. Cunningham is mistaken in say
ing that it was the tax on tobacco that
destroyed tobacco factories in Rich
mond. Danville. and a large number
of other Southern cities" 1t was the
trust that destroyed these factories
put down the price of the product Of
the farmers. and is responsible for
destroying" the prosperity in the to-
bacco towns and driving many men
into other lines of business.
The tax on tobacco was greatly re-
duced several years ago. but it bene-
fitted nobody but the tobacco trust
The next year the price of tobacco
went up and manv attributed it to the
reduction of the tax. but the following
year when the price of tobacco drop
ped out. it was seen that the tax re-
duction had nothing to do with the in
creased price which the trust put up
in order to induce another big crop.
1t is better and wiser to put coffee
and sugar and other necessities on the
free list than to remove the tax on
whiskey and tobacco.
No: it is not the tax on tobacco that
hurts farmers and destroys tobacco
factories. but the tobacco trust. 1t is
the enemy that farmers and manufac-
turers must fight.

me a pair of suspenders he bought
in Vladivostock on that visit. | said:
Why didn't you buy American sus-
penders? Because, said he, they
would have cost me DOUBLE In ex-
PLANTATION he said that on account OF
tariff this country had put on Rus
sian sugar to meet a bounty that the
government gives Russian producers,
Russia became offended and put
duty on American goods, driving out
all the agents of American goods in
eastern Siberia. 1t is only a small
incident, but tells tale of the short
sighted policy we have been pursuing
until free trade England has got the
inside track in nearly all markets OF
the world. The South must continue
to stand for freer trade and for every
thing looking TO more open markets
and in view of this, must always re-
member that we cannot bar out the
goods or men of other nations ard

A TIMELY OBJECT LESSON.

Hon. Hannis Taylor told the bank
ers that the interest of Southern
manufacturers was in freer markets.
The Southern mills today feel the
need of foreign markets for their
products But they cannot get these
markets. Why? Because America s
high tariff walls do not permit them
to swap their goods with us, and
nearly all commerce is a matter of
barter and exchange.

Hannis Taylor to Southern manufac-
turers, Mr.. ]. Alien Holt writing to
an exchange, gives this object les
