THE YELLOW SCARE Boes UP
AGAIN

The talk OF war with Japan has
bohbed MP again This timo 1t has
been caused by speech Admiral
Evans made at a dinner IN New York
last Saturday night Tho admiral ON.
phatically stated that he believed that
his fleet would be given a cordial
greeting in Japanese waters il it went
across the ocean, lat in other parts
OF his speech he practically said that
Il was none of Japan's business
Whether on, fleet Went to The Pacific
OF not and in that utterance tne vel.
lows found their opportunity. They
set forth the oldtime, worn reasons
why war is Inevitable but they con.
veniently forget the recent state.
ments made by Secretary Root on
this question There is practically 4
universal consensus of opinion. we he
lieve. that the Secretary of State is
not either a knaye or fool. and quito
as general opinion that his intellec.
tual fibre is one of much more than
the ordinary strength. clearness, poise
and judgment. These things being
conceded lnsistance of the yellows
that war is inevitable is foolish in tho
extreme and why some people take
stock in the silly stories is hard to
comprehend. The charge that there
must be war must also include the
charge that Secretary Root is both a
liar and a simpleton. for il the rola
tons are not absolutely harmonious
between the two governments. ther
he y not only projecting a falsehood
in order 70 deceive the American PEG
pie and The nations, bat he Is also lay.

to its literary parallel that it is pos
siblc to realize what such a loss
means, or to imagine how much
poorer life would have been without
his labors for its enrichment.
There are in this country

sands of men and women who have
enjoyed a liberal education in mu-
sic through his agency, and who
could not without that agency have

mentary acquaintance with the art

Bach to Brahms-has contributed at
least as largely as any other art to
the upbuilding of the spiritual life.
Mr.. Thomas was in his seven
tieth yeai when he died, and sixty
of his years were spent in the
countrya of his adoption. 1t is
easily within bounds to say that
no other musician during those
years has done so much as he for
the development of musical taste in
the United States. And the secret
of his achievement-if we may call
it secret-1s found in his stead
fast devotion to the highest ideals
of his art. His rugged and uncom-
promising temper, in all questions
directly concerning his art, often
made him enemies, but of a kind
for which his followers loved him
all the more. -

; MUSICAL NOTES ;
Items oflntereSt to Musicians Generally and Mem
berS of the Mountain Home Band Particularly. {

Who can explain why music has
an influence on people? No one can
deny that sweet harmony will
soothe the most jaded nerves? AL
ways will music be found in the
insane asylums, and many of the
must hopeless cases are soothed and
lulled into peaceful sleep by some
tender melody. What would dane
ing be if there was no music?
The rollicking two-step sets feet to
dancing and a jovial feeling is en-
joyed by all faces indicate entire
freedom from care, and merry
laughter is spontaneous. The
waltz is charming. 1t pleases most
the people with poetical natures,
and persons who love music and
dancing invariably undergo a COM
plete change of manner under the
magic spell of waltz-melodies.
Some people have very tender
hearted emotions aroused under the
power of harmony; many can not
suppress tears winch something
sweet and beautiful is played on a
violin, for it is the one instrument
that can speak language of its
own. The crossest baby in the
world will fret and cry, but let a
mother sit down and sing a soft
little lullaby, and the magic OF
her voice quiets the infantile
wailing. There is no explana-
tion for its charm, yet the major
ity of people love music with such
genuine feeling of appreciation that
little wonder remains why almost
every household has one or more
musical instruments.

How is Yours?

She is very lettcred,
Her grammar might be bettered,
She is not wondrous fair of form face,
She has ardent ycarning
For amount of learning
But her heart is in its right and proper place
She's not a woman's Fighter
Not bowling platform fighter,
Nor cares to set this mundane sphere abaze;
She has common and tact, sir
And it is blessed fact sir
That her heart is in its right and proper place!
Pines not for bou1dless riches,
f Cares not to wear the breeches,'
Nor is she taken up with every passing craze
Her thoughts all of home
Not of Paris of Rome,
'Casue her heart is in its right and proper place
She does boast conversion
Of the bowling shouting version
But she feels that she is living through His grace;
She says her prayers nightly
And God will judge her rightly
For her heart is in its right and proper place.
She dearly loves her mother
Thinks earth there is other
Can compare with her in genteness of ways.
When girl like that you find
You make up your mind
That her heart is in it's right and proper place.
She not rap for latin
And does ask for satin
When she hears that cash is and hard raise
She helps to fight life's battle
Without fuss seemess pratc
And her heart is in its right and proper place.

instrument is a serious matter-a
matter requiring oceans Of patience

about an instrument to be able to

A splendid practice in learning a
new piece of music (unless you are
an accomplished performer) is to
play it so slow that you can play
every note in perfect time. When
you have mastered its intricacies,
you will be surprised at the ease
with which you will be able to
increase the tempo to the point
indicated by the composer.
