Now ID the time to think about
q celebration this Summer. II
has besn suggested that instead
Of having . Fourth Of July cele.
bration. something should be
done to entertain the farmers
and visitors who will come 70 the
city for the institute and to at.
tend the adjourned meeting Of
the Water Users Association in
June. With . very little expense
it would be possible to arrange
q general celebration q. this
time. Something along the line
Of market days" now % popu
lar might prove very beneficial.
The merchants could offer
special inducements In bargain
sales. and the farmers could
bring in stock which they might
wish to dispose Of at auction.
This would interest and benefit
both the farmer and the mer-
chant aud would be more profit.

History will bs made at the
conference Of Governors called
to meet at the White House to-
day. Never before has the pre-

purpose Of discussing the great
problem Of the conservation OF

thinking that Wagner was not "Gevandhaus-
fahig,' that is mot worthy to be played by their
glorious orchestra Neunann knew better, and,
moreover, he knew how to justify the faith that
was in him. The account of his labOrs is inter
esting at many points. but chiefly as it brings
out aspects Of Wagner's character Leipsic and
its partisans were bad enough to deal with. but
they were hardly troublesome as was the
composer himself When they wanted him to
promise that he would be present at the per
formances he refused. saying. Il could not resist
taking the management into my own hands. for
I never can be a calm and staid spectator until
I am sure that matters are going absolutely to
my satisfaction, both rnusicaly and as to scenic
arrangements" He did not need to be present
in order TO develop almost uncomfortable desires
to interfere.
If his correspondence with Forster and Neu-
mann shows tenacious grasp upon his financial
rights it shows far more a sOlicitude for the
artistic integrity Of his work. One Of the knotty
points in the first negotiations with Leipsic re-
lated to the engagement Of George Unger, a
singer chosen by him as the one tenor to whom
he could with confidence intrust certain roles
Later on, when the great scheme really began TO
move. he urged the employment Of Anton SeidI
for the same purely artistic reasons In one
of his letters he says, If l could find even one
conductor in all Germany on whose tempo I
could depend with absolute security, 1 should be
willing to so quietly down to my grave Not
even Seidl would he have trusted to find an
independent way through the intricacies of his
scores. Believe me-" he writes, when 1 tell
you that no one (be he never gifted and
painstaking) who has not learned all these
things thoroughly here under in Bayreuth
can carry out my plah with absolute fidelity"
All the world knows with what magnificent
fidelity Sed carried out Wagner's plans

Neumann was a young man in the early COS
when his path and Wagner's first crossed At
the time neither had any idea that they would
ultimately become allies. Neumanns exploits
as singer were no doubt respectable, since he
was a member of the Royal Opera Company
in Vienna, but there nothing in his work
to excite the special admiration Of the COM
poser. Indeed, contemporary has left the note
that at a performance of Don Giovanni at
Stuttgart "Neumann's abnormaly long legs
stuffed into those interminable white tights
appeared to amuse the Master" But
the time came when Wagner was to take the
young man seriously enough. In 1876 Neu-
mann became one of the directors of the Leipsic

made in Galloway county by her
public officials for law and good order
is certainly very commendable and
her efforts are being endorsed by all
lovers of good government in all
parts of the state.

brave official colleagues deserve the
everlasting praise of not only the peo-

CRusADEs AND CITIZENSHIP.


Yesterday morning the county
judge of McCracken county struck
from a local option election petition
the names of 335 men. not qualified
voters-practically all of them be-
cause they had not registered. What
"A striking lesson in citizenship IS
here presented. Here are men, who
consider themselves among the elect
most of them church members, no
doubt. In asking for chance to vote
on the local option question we may
assume they acted from perfectly un-
selfish motives. Even the men, whose
business interests are at stake will
admit that the anti-saloon forces, no
matter how fanatlcal they may be con-
sidered by anyone. are obeying a
moral impulse Yet, in yesterdays
proceedings we see these morally
highly organized beings frustrated in
their crusade, not by antagonistic in
terests. but by their own disregard for
the obligations and duties of citizen
ship. The tech nicality involved in the
question Judge Llghtfoot decided is
one for lawyers, and We bow to the
courts erudition.
We are not discussing the temper
aLce question today. We are taking
advantage of long sought opportun-
ity to get a full arm swing at those
men, OF legal age and length of resi-
dence, who satisfy their own ideas of
citizenship by criticizing the mistakes
and weaknesses of their fellowmen.
We may be bringing blisters on the
end of the nose of somebody. who
thinks he is better and more patriotic
than the editor of a partisan newspa-
per ever could be; but We know we
have some three hundred citizens,
where they can't strike back. and we
are going to impress on them, that it
wasn't the lawyers of the liquor inter-
ests and il wasn't the county Judge,
but It was their own shameful neglect
OF duty to their God and their coun-
tly-a duty imposed by the blood of
the Revolutionary martyrs pre-
vented that election.
If we find occasion for emotion of
any other sort in the ruling of the
county court yesterday il IS swallowed
up and wholly obliterated by the de-
light we experience at seeing a lot of
men, who failed to register, get the
worst of il.
