ent of the international adult class de-

INSURANCE DEBATE
Will Be Held Week After the
Address of E. E. Perry,
January II.
TO TAKE FINAL ACTION.

In order that the discussion of fire
insurance by E. E. Perry, of Indianap-
oils, before the Commercial club, jan
uary II, will be fresh in the memo
ries of the members of the club when
the question comes up for discussion,
it has been arranged for the club to
hold a meeting a week after Mr.. Per-
rvs visit. At this time the argu-
ments will be made on the old line in
surance. The person who will dis
cuss this subject will be an authority
on the subject and will be chosen by
the local old line insurance members
association.
The club will take action on the mat
ter after hearing the discussion of
both kinds Of insurance; their advan-
tages and disadvantages The subject
is very appropriate at this time be-
cause the local business firms and fac
tories who have hazardous risks have
to pay a higher rate under the new
Dean schedule.

Selling His Music Was Dista stefuI to
the Great Composer.

An extremely interesting article
which has appeared In a German mu-
steal and theatrical paper under the
above heading contains the following
statement. says London exchange:
Beethoven never bargained in the or
binary way. His fees for a compost
ton were demanded briefly and In q
decided manner, and he always pointed
out when mentioning price that he
meant guineas and not sovereigns, or,
rather, their equivalent In Austrian
coin. In 1901 he wrote to a music firm
at Leipzig: Now the unpalatable bust
hess part is done with. l wish things
could be managed differently in this
world. There should be only one mu-
sic publisher to whom the artist might
take his work, knowing that he might
ask a fee according to his require
ments. AS it Is. he has to be partly a
tradesman. Good heavens. how diff
ferent and unpalatable this isr' But
this pious wish was never fulfilled, and
Beethoven had to remain half a
tradesman" to the end
As suggestion of how dedications
are occasionally fIddS, tue lCl4O"lfiS
letter, which Beethoven wrote to the
same publisher in 1902 from Vienna, is
interesting:
The lady in question can have a
sonata, and | will do my best to carry
out her aesthetic ideas. The price is
5 guineas tducaten1. and for this she
may retain the sonata for a year as
her private property. but not for pub
location At the end of the year the
sonata becomes my property-that Is
to say, L have the right to publish 1t,
and IL she thinks it an honor she may
ask to have the work dedicated to
her."
This, from the business point of view
Of the lady In question. Is surely q
tempting offer. At least. so the art
patroness of today would think II she
had a chance of suggesting to a
Beethoven the aesthetic idea" for a
sonata. to retain such a treasure In her
own hands for a twelvemonth and
thereafter have IT dedicated to her
and all for 5 guineas.

Martinsburg statesman-democrat. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1906-1921, 1908-10-02

The unfairness Of Mr.. Roo sevelt's
political preachment, in replying to
Mr.. Bryan, is shown by the assertion
that Mr.. Richard Olney, who was At
torney General under the last tleve-
land administration, had failed to get
any indictments against shippers
receiving rebates. This is not only I'M
fair but an impossibility ahd therefore
untrue for there was no law under
which such indictments could have
been found until the enactment o. the
Elkins act which was passed and
signed by him in 1903 seven years after
Olney was out of office. That is a good
sample of Roosevelt argument in this
campaign.
Martinsburg statesman-democrat. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1906-1921, 1908-10-02

Mr.. Bryan IS in favor of law that
will gus rantse bank deposits. Under
such law it would not make any diff
ference to you personally if the bank
you had your money in failed, because
your deposit would be protected; it
would be guaranteed.
Mr.. aft is opposed to any such law.
The banking trust in the East also is
opposed to it. 1t might not be fair to
say that that is the reason why Mr..
Taft opposes it, but it is fact that
both Mr.. Taft and the great financial
clnse-corporatio on in Wall Street OPP
pose it.
1t goes without saying that the
great mass of the people-tne millions
of thrifty toilers who, year by year,
add little to their savings in the
bank-would derive the greatest bene-
fits from such law.
1t seems strange that it is always So
difficult to get protection for the peo-
pie.
1t isn't difncult to get protection for
the corporations.
The trusts have no difficulty in get
protection in the form of excessive
tariff rates that enables them to charge
you high prices for the necessities of
life.
The great insurance companies find
1t easy to get laws that protect their
interests.
The statute books of the nation are
filed with laws that protect the rail-
road interests.
Every vested interest is protected
and generally at your expense.
But when it comes to protection flor
you it seems there never is anything
doing.
Have you ever thought about that?
| Has it ever occurred to you that you
ought to get just little slice of this
great big protection pie that is being
| handed out over the government lunch
counter? Or are you satisfied just to
be alive?

The old republican crew are scared
worse than they have been for many
campaigns and are resorting to any
method that may make votes. Even
forgery has been used and that in such
. sense as to SANDER the dead. A few
weeks ago it was announced that a
letter lad be given out by tn. family
of Grover Cleveland to the effect
that he endorsed the candidacy of Mr..
Taft and it was represented that the
letter was written but few days be-
fore his death. Now the whole thing
turns out to be a forgery and has been
50 denounced by the executor 0. Mr..
Cleveland's estate and the New York
Times to whom the letter was sold has
handed the whole matter over to the
district attorney for investigation. II
looks as if some body may get in 9
heep Of trouble. The matter has proven
a decided Boomerang for Taft.
