Mr.. Goldsborough's Return.

The return to Washington Of
hugh Coyle Goldsborough and his debut
on the local concert stage last Friday
were Of special interest 10 the friends
Of this young Washington MUSICIAN.
Mr. GoidsbOrough has been abroad
for the past I'VE years and has won
unprecedented success in the music field
of Vienna and other large European
cities. where musical talent is put to
such q severe test. he has attained
much distinction there, but unusual in
terest attended his first appearance in
his home city for he reason that many
predicted long ago his ultimate sue
cess should he adopt a musical career
The Arlington music room was filed
on Friday Afternoon with one OF the
most fashionable audiences Of the sea-
son That they did not so in vain was
manifest at the end OF Mr.. Colds
bo9oughs first number, Beauty of tone,
artistic temperament and a happy
choice of his numbers made Mr.. Colds
borough's concert notable.
washington audiences are accustomed
10 hear musicians Of worldwide repu
tation, but the enthusiasm attending
the young player on Friday afternoon
was genuine and lasting. His fine
musicianship gave an added dignity to
the program and the thought OF his
hearers when the concert was cOnciud-
ed was that this splendid musician viii
be heard many times during the season.

The Seat of Insurgency.

Because a little group of Republi
cans, feeble and thus far ineffective,
has seen fit to oppose policy of the
House managers, a great deal has
been said and written about insurg-
ency in the popular body of the Ma
tional Legislature 1t might be as
sumed that something momentous
were involved in the Statehood prop
osition, as to which the utmost
power of Administrative influence is
being and has been exerted for some
weeks. Revolt in the House" up

larly startling captions demand at
tention to the fact that, forsooth,
a few men have had the temerity to
differ from the Rules Committee
about what should be done with the
Territory OF Arizona.
To disagree in the House is revolt.
But now Is it at the other end of the
Capitol? 1t is craftsmanship, at the
Senate end. 70 be able to disagree with
all the people; it is deliberation TO
kill weeks and months that the coun-
try wants devoted to public business;
it is thoughtfulness to do nothing;
it is sanity to do the thing that no
body wants done, and it is evidence
of splendid courage to do the thing
everybody wants left undone
The House is killing a good deal of
time and not much of anything else.

II is making a great deal OF noise
and little else. The Senate, on the
other hand, is quietly. noiselessly.
effectively killing everything that
comes it, Tay. It is overthrowing
the entire administration program for
the session, and in this case-except-
ing for tie joint Statehood bill, in
which the country has only very
mild interest indeed-the Administra-
ton program is the program OF the
country. 1t is doing irreparable in

Independent of machine control. Both

out their whole strength. The strength
they cannot control holds, therefore,
the balance of power. Ii would seem
To Washington eyes-and the Capital
is extremely interested in this con-
test-these independents must stand
with Mr.. Cullom: for independents
are usually thoughtful men and well
informed. But If they did not stand
with him. it would not be surprising.
Senatorial influence is hard to
understand and harder still to define.
II is largely a personal quality. How
otherwise could Senator Teller be
such a power and change from one
side of the chamber to another? Or
Senator Bailey, when a Democrat,
have as wide an influence as a law
yer as almost any member across the
aisle? Being personal, it is often
due to widely different qualities. In
Senator Cullom's case il has been
built up by years of unwavering re-
liability. thorough knowledge. and
sound judgment
These are the qualities which have
made Mr.. CullOm a most valuable ser
want to Illinois. much more valuable
than any new man could hope TO
become for many years. The best
thing that could happen Just now to
the State of Illinois would be a full
rnaliratinn Of that fact

Mrs. Hough's Recital.

Mrs. Lolita Mills Hough. an american
girl whose concert work Wis attract
ms so much attention at the time OF
her marriage several years ago. gave
recital last Friday afternoon in Carroll
Institute. when the musical fraternity
of Washington heard q concert OF much
interest.
Mrs. Hough Is spending the winter
in Washington after having been abroad
four years. and her friends and the
musica EdDlic generally are glad 10
have her here again. She is one OF the
few American women pianists who have
won international fame for their artistic
work. and her residence in Washington
this season has meant much for music
lovers.
The program on Friday afternoon was
an exceptional group OF compositions
and one which only musician OF Mrs.
Hough's attachments could possibly
present Ii included the attractive
''Tarantelia'' OF LesChetizky. with whom
Mrs. HOugh studied several years, and
under whose guidance she imbibcd the
composers moods and motives Added
20 this were Rrbinstein, Chopin. Sch
bert. Chaminad- Moszkowski. Schu-
mann. and GTunfeld-
Mrs Hough played artistically. The
maturity which came TO her even be-
fore she went abroad 10 live. so broad
ened her work that after four years
more OF continual application she pre-
scnts an artistic atmospheric few women
pianists have attained. Her readings
were beautiful illustrations of the de-
velopment Of her art and every num-
Der on the interesting program was sig
nally effective.
8 NJ. Fabian was Mrs. Hough's as
sistant during the afternoon in supply
ing orchestral parts on a second piano.

WASHINGTON AN INDUSTRIAL
CENTER?
Prom The Houston Post-)

CFrom the Houston Post)
The Washington Times publishes -
page of replies 10 the question. Shall
Washington become a manufacturing
center or remain city OF residences?
Most OF the replies are from business
men who favor the development OF a
great Industrial interest. Some Of the
replies are free from such CONNER
cialism and insist that Washington
shall remain city Of residences and
become the educational and art center
Of the nation.
The question is one in which the
country at large is interested. Every
citizen of the country is a stakeholder
in Washington and contributes more or
less TO the expense of maintaining and
enhancing its beauty. and attractive
ness. Every citizen feels a pride in
Washington's beauty and culture and
wants IL TO become typical OF the loft
lest virtues OF the Republic and a con
crete expression of the country's love
of beauty. art, and culture.
1t may be safely said. therefore. that
so far as outsiders are concerned most
Of them are opposed TO cOmmerctalism
or industrialism becoming a dominant
note in Wasnington's career.
Those who favor industrialism for
Washington say they do not want man.
ufactures to encroach upon the resi-
Dental sections of the city, but that
along the shores Of the Potomac and
Anacostia rivers great plants might
be located. There Is no element OF
Washington's beauty more impressive
than the approach by way of the Po-
tomac, and the thought of profaning
the banks of this beautiful historic
stream with factories is as irritating
as the vandalism which has violated
Niagara and the Palisades. There is no
section of Washington which ought 70
be surrendered to commercialism. Even
the shores of the Anacostia must in
time be dedicated TO beauty Every
approach TO the city by land or water
should be sacrediy guarded against that
spirit of commercialism which would in
time, If not restrained. rob Washington
Of most Of its charms
The immediate necessities of the local
population require d certain amount OF
manufacturing. and the Government
must maintain certain plants This
should be the limit. The rest of the
country can afford ample facilities for
all the manufacturing the country can
find it profitable to engage in. 1t would
be scarcely more offensive 10 public
sentiment il Pennsylvania and Connecti-
cut avenues were lined with abattoirs
and soap factories than for the shores
of the Potomac 10 be violated Ii is tC
be hoped that in time the Government
may acquire both the Maryland and
Virginia shores Of the Potomac from
Washington TO Indian Head and make
those ranges a part of a national park
system. OF course. it would pay TO es-
tablish a cotton mill at Cabin John
bridge. a distillery at Arlington, q
brewery at Mt. Vernon. and a stee
plant at Marshall Hall, but il is not
necessary to ravish every beauty spot
around Washington just because il
might happen TO pay.
Speaking for Texas interest in Wash
ingtOn. the Post will vote nay on tht
proposition to sacrifice washington
beauty in the lust for money.

Redeeming the Chesapeake.

AS a means of maintaining orde:
among the oyster tongers of the
Chesapeake the Government is TO
keep the Window ready for frequent
trips about the oyster beds. With
revenue cutter likely to swoop down
on them at any moment, il is thought
the pungy captains may fairly OBJ
serve the law Whether they do or
not. the officers of the law count on
that means TO discover cruelty and
crime, If those offenses are commit
ted, and carry the wrongdoers to
trial.
The frequent appearance of the
Window will no doubt work a con
siderable improvement Not even
an oyster captain can keep his sea-
men from 'blabbing" once the latter
are free of his control, and protected
by the Government The uncertain
" of the cutters visits and the reach
OF her guns Will both help TO instill
= steady respect for her. If any more
American citizens are beaten over
the head and thrown into the Poto-
mac. as has happened dozens Of times
in the past few years, there is more
than a likelihood that some one may
be brought TO book for it,
But the responsibility of the three
governments inYolved-the State gov
ernments of Maryland and Virginia
and the National Accommodations
not end there. Convictions must be
obtained by the prosecuting attor-
neys of these Jurisdictions and the
courts moved TO impose stiff penal
ties. Assault is assault no matter if
the assailant is captain of a dingy
little oyster boat and the victim a
tramp caught up in some fence" of
an employment agency. Similarly,
manslaughter is manslaughter and
murder is murder. 1t is inCOnceivable
TO the average citizen that there
should be any concession to the Of
fender because he committed one OF
these crimes while absolute master of
some sailing craft.
These things may seem ever so ak
iomatic, but convictions are going to
be hard 20 get on Just those grounds.
The testimony will have TO be strong,
indeed. TO move a jury of lOngshore-
men accustomed by long years of
inaction 10 think the oyster fleet be-
yond the law and its crews subject
70 no authority but that OF its
masters" And unless such juries
are enough impressed TO bring in YER
diets of guilty the situation is only
slightly improved. Men like those
who have made the Chesapeake an
area Of Iawlessness these past fifty
years are not TO be much impressed
by the authority Of the law, even in
the form Of a revenue cutter. They
must feel its whip.

EXETER OWNS ITS
