There was grand ensemble both
in front and aft of the curtain at the
Metropolitan last evening on the oc-
casion of the presentation of Puc-
cini's operate masterpiece, Madam
Butterfly" by Henry w. Savage's COM
pany, Miss Florence Easton in the
leading role. That Grand Forks thea
ire goers appreciate first class grand
opera cannot be doubted after the re-
ception of Wednesday evening.
The curtain rose upon what proved
to be an enhancing story, morbidly
enhancing perhaps, but which rivetted
the attention, gripped it as in a wise,
and held it until the fall of the cur
tain, until one awoke with half
shudder and wandered out into the
night with the sense of a moral in
jury done to a dear woman friend.
And what is the story which so
deeply affected the huge audience? 1t
is as old ,as the hills-man's betrayal
of woman's trust. But the eastern
atmosphere of the setting, the pathetic
figure Of the little japanese child.
wife, the unutterable tragedy of the
final scene, make the old, pitiable
story, SO biting, so bitter, as to come
almost as a revelation, as of some
thing before unheard OF. That poor
little swaying figure of Madam Butter
fly, as the truth is forced on her that
her American husband of a few hours
for the momentary qualification of
his sensuality-is perjured and faith
less, is one of the most pathetic fig
ures that the imagination can con.
jure up.
The hero, save the mark! in Madam
Butterfly, is a far more contemplate
character than is Faust in the immor-
tai Germans work. The American Of
f1cer is merely vulgar seducer, who
leaves his victim to absolute want.
And it is round such sordid, Hood
like story that Giacomo Puccini has
woven the magic of his music, and
made it more than acceptable: has
made people sit forward in their seats
with bated breath and dimmed eyes.
1t has been difficult to write so far
without coming to the Madam Butter
fly of last night-Miss Florence Easton
and the temptation to indulge in the
language of exaggeration is almost too
strong to be resisted. One has been
led to expect much of Rena Vivienne
in the part, while Nine. Eliza Szaimosy
is said to be the greatest of the three.
If this be true, she must indeed be
great artistic. From the moment when
her bell-like notes are heard loft"
the stage, heralding her approach, she
captivated her audience. As she made
her entrance, she presented dainty
little figure, with 80 piquante and win
some a face. Perhaps a trifle too
coquettish for Japanese maiden, but
little fault and so fOrgiveable. To
listen to her voice is an unalloyed
delight. 1t is purity itself with re-
markable elasticity, her upper notes
being of the tone Of silver bell. Few
roles In grand opera are more exact
ing than Madam Butterfly. The music

DepIores FaetionaIism.

"OEe other subject I wish to menti II
before closing. FactiOnalism and section
alism are twin evils. One section of the
state OF the nation has no right TO oppose
any other section or look with enviOus
eyes upon it. AS well may the right
hand rebel against the left.
IN this connection. | am pleased to see
that this school and the Agricultural col
lege are getting together in an agreement
as to their courses of study. / nope this
will ultimately lead to a feeling of per-
feet friendliness and cooperation, in
stead of the bitterness and rivalry that
have disturbed the peace of the state for
some years. / hope that all differences
that have existed between these insti-
buttons will soon be settled by friendly
adjustment. This is the desire of the
present state administration, and l am
sure it was of the former one. 1t has
never been the wish of either admins
tration TO exploit the institutions for
selfish or political ends. So long as /
occupy the governors chair, no such pol
lev will be permitted to prevail. But if
the iong-standing dispute between the r.
stitutions the bitterness of feeling which
has set different sections of our state by
the ears can be settled in way to ben
eft and not injure the schools, l shaif
feel that 2 great and necessary work has
been done. And l think / know enough
of the temper of the people of the state
to say without hesitation that if this dis
Dute is thus settled. they will come more
cheerfully and literally to the support of
these schools than could have been hoped
for under previous conditions"

PERMANENT IMPROVEMENTS
Commissioner Files an Estimate
Amounting to $14,8S0-Exten-
sion for Crematory.

DIR. NJ. r. Stewart, health commissioner.
has filed with the city recorder an esti-
mate of the needs of his department for
permanent improvements for the ensuing
year. The total estimate is $l4S30. OF
which $3.50 is wanted for an extension 10
the crematory. $3.50 for the construction
of garbage hoppers on the line of the
BambeTger road, which will haul the gar
bage out of the city, and 800 for other
minor improvements.
The contract for the building of the Gre
matory has already been awarded to the
Dixon Construction company of CIeve-
land, o.. by the board of public works.
but has not been approved by the coun-
Gil. The matter came up at last Monday
meeting. but because of the expense in
volved was referred to the finance COM
mittee for further investigation.
The contract for the hoppers was let
last Monday and work will be begun at
once.
The department expects that by August
at the latest affairs will be in shape so
that all the garbage collected can be
hauled out of the city under the contract
entered into six weeks ago with the BAN
berger road. The dumping ground is near
Pennington.

VaIedictory Address.

J. Percy Goddard. valedictorian of the
college seniors, gave an able address on
The Responsibilities of Citizenship" His
delivery was good. Speaking of the real
questions, he said:
well informed persons estimate that
coal for which we are paying $3.50 ton
could be delivered to us at a good profit
for $50 ton, and the statement appears
to be fully borne out by the testimony
taken by the commerce commission. Keep
in mind, also. that we have an inexhaust-
ible supply of coal in our state, that II is
a commodity without which our homes
would be uninhabitabe for most of the
year, and without which the wheels of
our industries must stop. Our industrial
growth, moreover, is hindered by the
present situation. since the establishment
of new manufactures is to a great extent
dependent upon cheap fuel supply.
Thus corporations created by the law.
that is, created by us as citizens of the
state, and operating under the protection
ter our industrial growth, and to levy a
large tribute upon every family. rich or
poor. Can we imagine our American
forefathers paying a tribute to England
on all their fuel of 81 a ton? Why should
we pay such a tribute to men who AFRO
gate to themselves the right to Cypress
society? Few will deny that remedies for
similar evils nave been found. but even
if we doubt this, must we not then admit
that the greater is the need for the dis
covery of a remedy by careful investiga-
ton of the problem? There Is need that
our future legislators should be equipped
both with wisdom and with moral courage
for the solution of such questions.

Rumblings of Discomfort.

Society long ago outSrew the idea that
might makes right when might is
conceived as physical power, but we are
only just beginning to realize that might
does not with any more justice constitute
right when it consists in craft and cum
ming. We nave failed to realize until re-
Gently that men could enslave their fell

perior physical power. Some laws have
been made and others have Dcen evaded
for the purpose Of enriching the one or
the few at the expense of the many. and
the trickeTy of the constituencies bene-
ficiaTies has been deified by many Ameri-
cans.
I'VE already hear many rumblings of
discomfort in the nation. Sensational DEM

cations are not uncommon and unless
they be quelled by the wise administration
of principles of right and justice it does

capital and political power continue to ac-
cumulate in the hands of a few, and the
government proves itself incompetent to
insure justice, incompetent to preserve
the masses from oppression, it will not be
surprising if labor advances and demands
its dues at the mouth of musketry and
cannon.
Such day can only be aveIted by the
