In Leoncavallo Walla Walla will see
the acknowledged worlds greatest di-
rector and composer. "Zaza" in grand
opera is mis- own composition and Gre
alton. He has set every line written
and every word of the operate YER
sion and directs every note from the
orchestra, over which he is the presid-
ing genius.
Local musicians are looking forward
to hear what many Americans go out
of their way to hear while in Europe.
Leoncavallo, the wizard of the baton
with the mastodon orchestra which
accompanies his dozen celebrities.
Inasmuch as Walla Walla always
sees fit to make grand opera the one
society theatrical event of the season,
it is expected that the most fashion
able audience Of the year will be as
Tuesday evening, November q.
The language of the opera is Ital-
ian. perhaps unintelligible to the hear
ers at first. But the story of "Zaza"
is so we'll known that the audience
will follow it much more clearly than
they did the divine Sarah in the less
attractive Camille"
It has been years since grand opera
visited this city. Although the COM
panies at that time boosted no such
celebrities as Leoncavallo, Farrabini,
Rizzinni, Calvi, Barnaini, Perya or
Bellott, it will be remembered that id
it's alien tongue it moved the audience
to tears.
No less touching is the dramatic
story of 'Zaza" or "Pagliaccf' sung
by artists who have moved the mon
archs of the old world to the most en-
thusiastic applause and gained from
htem the tribute of tears
1t is hard to tell when another band
of such notables will come west. That

MAYOR SCHMITZ.

Soon after Eugene E. Schmitz was
elected mayor of San Francisco for his
first term, he visited New York. He
was practically unknown; his only
fame rested on the fact that his pre-
paration for the office to which he had
been chosen had been acquired while
playing a cornet in a theatre orches-
ira. His official conduct never attract
ed particular attention away from the
Pacific coast. When he ran for Of
flee again little was heard of him, but
it was because of the fact that he rep
resented organized labor and the closed
shop that his candidacy was consid-
cred worthy of mention.
The earthquake that overthrow San
Francisco gave Schmitz the chance to
slow in seeing it. In the earliest re-
ports from the city he was named as
one man who had kept his senses, risen
to the emergency and served the pub
lie with distinction and success. He
was 'the man who made good" the
far-seeing executive who managed the
tangled affairs of the wrecked COM
| munity with wisdom and skill, and his
praises We're on the lips of many who
had never heard of him before. When
the first excitement passed Schmitz
was the biggest figure in the picture.
Later it was asserted that he had
been only tool in the hands of Ruef
IN the earthquake and fire days. just
as he had been before Of Ruef's abil-
ity no one had doubt, but the public
was anxious to keep it's hero, and

''The Pixies Triumph" at the Key

umpn for the youngsters so far as act

The whole affair went off smoothly
and in many places the work of the
little folks was of professional quail

fects had been skillfully arranged and
were entered into with spirit.
Some Of the little folks who called
forth laughter by their tiny stunts
were not over five years old. So many

decided hits with the audience.

TO THE CURBSTONE.

Considerable comment is being heard.
on the wide departures from the oio
line conservatism of some OF the banks
which, having abandoned Evolutionary
exclusiveness, have organized press
and advertising departments and inaug
urated campaigns for the attraction
of deposits which, few years ago.
would have created scandal in banking
circles and would have seriously at ,
fected the regulations of those banks
adopting the system. But the change
is being made. and some of the banks
have initiated advertising and solicit.
ing departments which are used with.
as much vim and energy to increase
the deposits as a merchant uses to
advertise his goods.
There can be no serious criticism OF
this alteration in banking policy. A
banker has the same right to adver-
tise, truthfully, his resources and ad-
vantages as has merchant to dis
play his wares, or a minister to pub
lish his sermon and solicit attendance
at his church. Publicity-and publici-
ty through advertising-has become
the great factor in every line of COM
merce or finance. The bank, or firm,
refusing to recognize this new tenet
is doomed to eventual oblivion.
But, as happens in many other in
stances, where the bars have been let
down after long periods Of conserva-
tism, some of the banks, taking the
other tangents and in the scramble
for deposits recklessly assumed func-
lions which heretofore have belonged
to a proper classification. They have
invaded fields hitherto barred by
business courtesy, or through high
financial reasons.
In this grabbing for everything in
sight one special instance of radical
departure is the invasion of the field
of the savings banks by the national
banks. In some of these instances there
have been strong financial reasons.
In the past a national bank was
closed to the smaller depositors lay
ing up their savings, dime by dime, or
dollar by dollar. But a falling off Of
business, desire to- swell their de-
posits, or similar causes for forcing a
public showing, have brought the
naughty national institutions down to
the curbstone where. now may be
found at least one national bank at
tempting to herd the laborer and fami-
once sacred to the taxdodgers and
millionaires with handy transfer notes.
Taken either as an admission of
weakness, or a greed overmastering-
either way it is not a pleasant COM
mentary on the changing banking
methods.
The savings bank is an institution
of itself. 1t is the benefactor of the
poor man, the man working for wages
and skimping himself and family to
lay by for the inevitable day of sor-
row. AS such it has a scope peculiarly
it's own, one Of greater service to
the masses than the grasping concern
| of larger dimensions which, running it's
| course, must, perforce, invade a field
for which it was not originally in
tended.
There are plenty of savings banks
| and they are appreciated by the
people. A national bank with a saw
| ings department does not appeal.

Objections Found.
The most serious objection which
YOUR committee has found in any
quarter against the extension of the
present city limits appears to come
from those people who are laboring
under the misrepresentation that their
property must be held to contribute
toward paying the present indebted
ness of the City of Walla Walla and
we would recommend that, among
other things, the Commercial club make
as public as possible the fact that the
law will not permit any of the terri

tory to be annexed would receive all
of the benefits that are derived from
those public utilities which the in
debtedness has been created to secure.

population of twenty thousand to get
such a charter certainly needs this
additional territory and population.
The addition having no water, no
lights no sewers, no fire protection,
no voice in the government Of the
city, upon whose growth and progress
depends in a large measure, the val
ue of outlying property and none of
the many other advantages that the
city proper affords, certainly needs and
is entitled to the advantages accru-
ing by reason of being a part of the
city.
For Early Election.
We suggest that this club recon-
mend to the city council, the imme-
date calling of an election for the
purpose of bringing in this proposed
territory and in view Of the fact that
before such an election can be called,
it will be necessary to secure a pc
tition of at least one-fifth of the vOt-
ers, voting at the last municipal cleo
ton in this city, we would suggest
that the Commercial club prepare and
circulate the necessary petition and
file the same with the city council.
