SANGERBUND GIVES ~ .
FINAL GRAND CONCERT

The closing concert of the sanger
fest in the St. Paul Auditorium last
evening was a brilliant climax to one
of the most successful meetings the
northwestern association has ever held.
The audience was large and singers
and directors were given the most cor
dial reception. ,..i -. .5.-s.-....
Fully 1000 singers were seated on
the stage and when the orchestra
opened the program with Star
Spangled Banner" and the singers and
the great audience arose, the scene
Theodore kelbe, the director of the
mastery way in which he led his great
chorus, without the slightest heaviness
or dragging of tempo. Everything was
clean-cut- decisive and spirited The
shading, too, was excellent, consider
ing so large a body Of singers.
One Of the best numbers of tho
chorus was the Kreutzer selection,
which was sung with breadth and dig
nifty. The chorus from "Rienzi' was
also effective.
The Auditorium is too large even for
the great chorus, for with orchestra
and chorus combined there was never 4
moment when the music seemed com
pletely to fill the building.
The soloists found it impossible to
make themselves heard. All fine shad-
ing and artistic effects were lost en-
tirely beyond the first few rows in the
.parquet.
Frank Danz; Jr., with his orchestra,
shared the honors, and the work of the
orchestra was even better than at the
previous concerts. The accompani-
ments, too, were all that could be
desired.
Mrs. Fleming, Robert Blass and
Daniel Beddoe were the soloists, and
sang as well as could be expected in
such an immense space.
At the afternoon concert the chorus
of children IS voices delighted everyone
and the fresh, youthful voices carried
well. The children sang with Ell
thusiasm, too, which gave additional
pleasure.
A strong feature of the afternoon
was the big chorus composed Of the
Norwegian singers from the Fran ant
Nordmaendens societies Of St. Paul anG
the Dovre and Nordmaendenes societies
of Minneapolis, under the direction o1
Erick Oulie of Minneapolis. .
The soloists were Mrs Rider-Kelsey

and charming widow personifies a
Western woman who has the open mind

of his waking hours when she con-
fronts him as tall, beautiful girl just
out of Wellesley. There is a self-opin-
donated British butler of huge bulk, and
truculent, wiry little Jap valet who
puts him in his place by magic of Jiu
jitsu. There are miners, who desire to
present the newborn Heir to the
Hoorah with mine or ranch, in place
of the conventional cup or spoon, and
delightfully."- unsophisticated bachelor
uncle who promptly, purchases six
thoroughbred cows when he gathers
from the jolly old doctor that the heir
is liable to be raised as a bottle
baby. There is most delightful
cowpuncher who, when he dons his
first evening clothes under protest,
declines to remove the spurs which
were worn during his waking hours
for twenty years.
These are the people that tell the
story of "The Heir to the Hoorah" and
they told 1t to such effect in New York
that the American comedy by Paul
Armstrong ESQ.,, which landed on
Broadway in the sad and distressful
days of Lent, remained at the Hudson
Theatre to watch the roses in Central
Park bloom and fade, and all dramatic
offerings of even date of production
succumb more or less ungraciously,

include variously "The Freedom of

"Adrea", "The Music Master, /" The
Woman in the Case, THE Education
of Mr.. Pipp" and "You Never can Tell,
But all the tables of success, whatever
else they included, mentioned 1.-THE
Heir to the Hoorah" as a play that
all discriminating theatre-goers should
go to see and that 1t was bound to
achieve success because 1t was TYPICAL
ly American and made people laugh
frequently and heartily for legitimate
cause. Outside judgement is not al
ways that of New York, but from all
accounts "The Heir to the Hoorah"
contains SO many elements that appeal,
to the sympathies and tastes of SO
large portion of our American public
that 1t Is likely that the country at

THE GRAIN INSPECTION ROBBERY

If the opinion of Judge Sanborn
should be the correct Interpretation
of the constitutionality of the Wis
consin-North Dakota grain inspection
law, the grain growers of this state
are practically without any protection
in the matter of grain inspection, for
he holds that that law Is unconstitu-
tional. 1t is not necessary to discuss
the legal merits of the decision, for
the rule of law is that the courts
having the last guess, the laymen are
without recourse. What most con-
Germs the people engaged in raising
wheat is what effect the notification
of the law will have upon the grain
markets, especially of this state, and
what is the best remedy for the
trouble
With the terminal inspection in
Wisconsin, which to some extent was
under the control of our own state
because of the fact that one member
of the board is a resident of this state
and appointed practically by it's gov
ernor, annulled. there remains only
the Minnesota law. The farmers of
North Dakota are familiar with it's
operations, and know full we'll the re-
suits it has produced.
North Dakota has no more voice in
the fixing of the grades of grain sold
in Minnesota than it has in the in
spection of meats sold in Germany.
The terminal elevators are entirely
out of the power and control of the
state, and what shall be the standard
for any grade of grain in entirely the
dictum of foreign state.
1t is Il fact that in the past the low
grading of North Dakota grain has
constituted a systematic and notorious
graft upon, if not robbery of, North Da-
kota grain growers. Wheat that should
have graded number one hard, even
