ability. Had one never heard her at
her zenith one would scarcely realize
that she has begun to recede from it,
so fine is she now. Nevertheless Nor
dica's work has begun to show the
first slight effects of decline; there is
effort where once there was sponta-
neity; there is skilled evasion and
transposed note where formerly was
infinite capacity for any score and the
glorying in supreme difficulty which
marks transcendent, exuberant power
and art.
Let no one suppose from this that
Nordica's Violetta was not a treat; it
certainly was. Only it was more a
demonstration of artifce, conserved
force and avoidance of difficulties,
rather than grand attack and over
coming of pyrotechnic musical tours
de force for the sheer love of confident
ability The chief noticeable differ
ence in her singing now is seen in her
higher notes, which have a sharper
tone and more metallic ring than used
to be. Still, her rendition last night
was a delightful event and we'll worthy
of the tremendous applause it received.
The faithful Galperni not yet over
worked, again appeared, taking most
artistically the role of Germont. In no
respect was his singing one whit below
that of previous evenings He is an
artist that grows on one and his voice
is magnificent.

person of Alemanni, who sang AL

we are so obsessed by the magnificence
of Constantine that we will not give
him due credit for his powers. 1t is
thinner than that of his compatriot; In
the higher tones 1t is somewhat marred
by vibrato, but in general his excellence
is beyond cavil. He is above any tenor
presented by the Lambardi company
during it's whole stay here. He enacted
the Alfredo role with spirit and skill.
The minor characters were well taken
and sung; the chorus again shone, as
did the ballet, and the orchestra,

President Roosevelt has out
lined his ideas regarding financial
legislation as they will be brought
out in his message to Congress.
These plans and suggestions were
brought out and discussed a few
days ago with Mr.. Bryan, the
probable Democratic nominee for
the presidency, while making a
call at the White House. The
two great leaders of opposite
parties were very complimentary
to each other and for once, it is
said, agreed on each others rem
edies for the financial situation.
The plans, as are to be suggest
ed by the President, will pro-
vide for an emergency bank note
circulation, which will exist when
there is an emergency, and not
cause an initiation at times when
no real stringency confronts the
the financial world. 1t is to be
an elaboration of the currency
portion of last years message
but only more to the point re-
garding Legislation. The Pres
ident favors an asset bank note
currency, in the form of ap-
proved securities, put aside for
adding to the regular bank note
currency only in the time of
emergency. He will also sug-
gest a graduated tax, beginning
at 5 per cent and increasing to 6
Z and 8 per cent on different
portions of the issue taken out
by a bank. This, he believes,
would bring out the needed cir
culation in time of stress or to
meet the crop movements.
Roosevelt favored the plan of
the Nebraskan on the idea of
Government guarantee on Nat
ional bank deposits, which would
establish confidence where it is
most needed among those who
hoard their money because they
fear to intrust it to the banks.
President Roosevelt's idea as
made known, is that the Govern
ment should not act as a deposit
ory of a permanent guarantee
fund to meet losses through bank
failures, but that it should act
as a clearing house to collect
from the banks an assessment
sufficient to meet losses as they
occur, the Treasury first supply
ing the cash necessary to give
immediate recompense to the de-
positors of the defunct institu-
tion. 1t can be seen that these
plans will insure depos:tors in
all National banks of the
country against loss by reason
of the failure of the banks and
will naturally make the National
banks very strong institutions in
which the depositors can place
great confidence and feel secure.
