The Elkins Press Bureau

Mr.. Elkins evidently "views witt
alarm the political condition in West
Virginia, therefore he is working bis
"press bureau" with great assidnity
telling the peoplewhat great things the
G. o. P. has done for them and how
vitality important it is that he should
be reelected to the United States Sen
ate.
1t will be very profitable for the peo-
pie to take an inventory of the ''great
things "the republican party in gener-
al. and Mr., Elkins in particular, have
done for then. In the first place the
policy of the party has always been to
favor of classes at the expense of the
masses, by means of protective tariff,
the foster mother of the gigantic trusts
and mOnopolies which today have the
people so completely in their power
that nothing short of political up
heaval can loosen their grip. Mr.. Ell
kins has always been one of the great
high priests of that doctrines. and in
the late farce enacted in Congress, en-
titled the 'railroad rate bill' he was
uniformly on the side, of the railroads,
striving to pull the sting out of the
measure, by the adoption Of the'' broad
court review amendment, which dc
prived it Of all possible benefit to the
public.
In the second place the republican
party, in this state, had saddled upon
the people most iniqultous tax law,
the effect of which will be to place the
burden of taxation upon private prop
erty, and private individuals, while
the corporations will escape with a
small share. In it's inception the ''taX
law" was incongruous and unintelli-
gble, and now it is in worse muddle
than ever. As piece of bumcombe,
and knowing full well that the rail
roads would not submit to it, the
State Board of Public Works increas-
Ell the valuation of railroad property
about so per cent. Those corporations
restrain the collection of taxes based
upon that valuation. There is no tell
lug how long the question will be held
NJ, in the courts, and in the mean
tl"e4he counties will be deprived of
taxes, not only on the new valuation,
bu the old as we'll, and no means OF
raising sufficient revenue to defray the
county expenses.
If the people will ponder thee things
tney will be forced to the conclusion
that for ways that are dark and tricks
nat are VAN. the q. O. p. can give
the "heathen chinee' many POINTERS
and that all the Ills that afiiict the
body polite today, are due to the ec-
on 'mlc policies pursued by the repua.
ca party ever since it came into
power.

Audltorlum,s New ORGAN

The new organ in the auditorium was
inaugurated last night, when Bruce
Gordon Kingsley presided at the key
board and interested a goodly audience
with his fine playing. Mr.. Kingsley is
an excellent organist; he has power
and insight, but to announce him as
"the greatest in the world" when Eddy
and Guilmant with several of their
class are still living, is an injustice to
them and worse to him. He proposes
to remain here, and Los Angeles will
thus be often afforded opportunity to
judge of his skill even to better ad-
vantage, but 1t may safely be said
that while he Is an artist of high class,
he is not 'the best i'm the world" to one
who has heard the masters named.
The new organ Is undoubtedly a fine
instrument, but 1t is not heard to best
advantage under the circumstances. 1t
1t placed some thirty feet from the
auditorium proper and the music filters
out through a series OF grilles. This
tends to give 1t a far-away sound and
muffies the finer tones. while COM
pelling pipes so large that at times
the music sounds a bit tubby. 1t was
admittedly an experiment so to place
II, and a change should be made, il
possible, to make possible the full
glories of the instrument.
Mr., Kingsley's work at the keyboard
was high class and delightful In every
way. He has fine command OF the
instrument and knows how to bring
out to best advantage its capabilities.
His program was largely classic, and
as organ classics are not well known
here. was somewhat strange TO his

Health Seekers Who Come Too Late
for the Climate to Be Effective
Responsible for Tuber-
cuosis Record

Los Angeles can boast of a lower
death rate last year, Notwithstanding
the increasing army of health seekers
and half-dying visitors who seek
balmy California, but often too late.
The session of the health board last
night, at which the annual reports
were reed, established this fact
For the fiscal year ending November
30 the health department reports 374O
deaths from all causes reported in Los
Angeles, or 1916 per 1000 OF the popu-
lation estimated at 250.OO0, This is
46-lOOth per cent less than the preced-
inc year. Mo effort has been made to
differentiate between residents and
non-residents.
The large number of health seekers
who come TO Los Angeles In advanced
stages OF incurable disease Is potent
factor In causing this death rate.
OF the 3740 deaths 5S9 were indigents,

and sixteen female. Poison was the

twenty homicides, fifteen of whom were

one Chinese. OF the 3740 deaths 743
or 20 per cent, We're due to tuberculosis.
There were 440 deaths of children under
year of age. There were eighty-eight
deaths between l and years, eighty
seven between 2 and 5. There were but
thirty-one cases of enteritis under 2
years of age, which speaks we'll for the
milk supply of the city.
There were 1857 normal births re-
ported, 13i stillbirths and forty-five
premature, making total of 1918. OF
these 1879 were males and 1929 females.
of the 1918 births 2415 had parents
born in the United States, 766 had for
eign born parents, 585 had parents Of
mixed nationality. eighty had negro
parents and fifty had parentage of un-
known nationality.
Concerning tuberculosis the report
says;
"The enforcement of the anti-ex-

tuberculouS patients have lived or died,
the sanitary inspection of tenements
and lodging houses and the eompul-

all OF which are provided for by an
ordinance now before the city council,

from this disease.
"Many incipient cases would recover
and many cases now doomed to con-
tract the disease would never be in

provide a suitable sanitarium in the

MUSIC AND DRAMA

Ossip Gabrilowitsch, the Russian
pianist, returned to Los Angeles last
night after three years absence, and
found that he was not forgotten. Hun

were not daunted even by the BehymeI
reputation for rain-happily this time

list at his best, too; he has broadened
and improved much since he was here
before, though even then he ranked
with the worlds finest players
GabriloWitsch is a master of tech
nique, and has a poetic insight into the
depths OF composition which enables
him to bring out the best that 1t con-
tains. He takes liberties with tempo,
at times, but they are the liberties OF
All artist, and not only are forgivable,
but even may be commended, be-
cause they add that touch of indi-
Viduality which differentiates the fine
player from the mere tyro or the plan,

dare to play Chopin's Marcia Fune-

a divorce from him. He got out
of the peuitentiary with good
conduct allowance. He then
went to Waldport, Oregon, and
gathered about him the faithful
followers who stuck by him.
Threats of lynching drove him
out of Oregon. He came to

back and on April 8, a little
over month ago, married
her for the second time. He
went out to Southeast Seattle and
won her brother back. He sold
his home and took the proceeds
to Waldport to hold together his
followers. Crefheld was going to
leave for Waldport in few days.
