Philadelphia Orchestra and
Nine. Homer Delight a
Large Audience.
ALL HER NUMBERS
EXCLUSIVELY SUNG
Mrs. Roosevelt and Party Occupy
Box-Many Society Folk
Attend.

With the eXhilaTating assistance Of
Nine. Louise Homer, contralto Of the
Metropolitan Opera Company, the
Philadelphia Orchestra under the direc-
ton of Carl Pohiig, opened the sym
phony season in Washington yesterday
afternoon in the National Theater. Mrs.
Roosevelt wife of the President, and
a party Of friends, occupied a box, and
society generally was in attendance
The majority Of the audience, however
was composed of local music lovers
who relished every number on the pro-
gram and manifested 10 Mr.. PohIg
their unqualified enjoyment of his
work.
The symphony OF the program was
Tschaikowsky symphony No. 1, and
its four movements were disposed of
with a sureness and ease that brought
rounds of applause with the conclusfra
Of each. The first movement, In +
minor. is rather long. but was played
with infinite precision and command.
OF the others, the sCherzo was easily
the most attractive. The splendid pizzi-
cato work OF the orchestra throughout
this movement kept the audience en-
thralled. and Mr.. Pohhg and his players
received a genuine burst Of enthusiastic
applause when the last dainty and dis
tinct note had been played.
The opening number was the Weber
overture. ''Euryanthe." and the pros
gram closed with the fascinating ''Es-
pana," Chabrier's rhapsody. This latter
was the Highest by far OF any Of the
afternoons features. but was so infec-
uous. so tantalizingIy impertinent in its
drawing, that it offered a pretty con-
trast TO the preceding numbers OF the
program.
Nine. Homer added another triumph

They shall rule, and nobody
says nay to it. And, as a rule,
the party best deserving the con-
fidence of the people is commits
stoned by the people to carry on
the government. No political
party can be independent of pop
ular sentiment.
The question of today is which
party is the one better fitted to
rule the country the Demo-
cratic, with Bryan at its head,
or the Republican, with Judge
Taft? We believe the par
ty under Taft will be chosen, for
there is no marked popular dis
approval of its policies and prin-
ciples.
Mr.. Bryan will make a gallant
campaign, and millions of votes
will be cast for him, as hitherto;
but, as hitherto, he will not have
enough votes to elect him. There
is no popular demand for a
change at this time, and hence
Mr.. Bryan taxes his wits to find
some paramount issue that is
worth while. He is anxious, ay,
frantic for a change; but the
country is calm, refusing to be
excited by his "gaudy issues"
being convinced that it is better
to let we'll enough alone.

of other out buildings. 1t was
by very hard work that the house
was saved. They pumped the

Ed Sharp's, a neighbor, and while
they were short of water the
house caught fire and but for a
can of milk which stood close by
and with which the blaze was
extinguished, the dwelling would
have probably burned. He had
but little, fany, insurance. Mrs.
Besecker was overcome by the
fright and was taken over to Ed
Sharp's; Mrs. Sharp was also in
a critical condition and it was
necessary to summon two physi-
clans. 1t is not known how the
barns caught fire, but the flames
were first noticed between $50
and 10 o'clock. Hundreds of peo-

How Have the People
Ruled?
BY LEO.

Washington until today. They
still rule. How? Surely, not di-
rectly; but indirectly, through
chosen instrumentalities or ag-
ents, called parties. The major
ity of legal voters choose a GER
tain political party to control the
national government, the party
elects certain representative men
to fill the various offices of the
government, and to administer
the laws of the republic, and thus
through chosen agents the peo-
pie have always ruled.
Several parties have been. at
different times, entrusted with
the government of the country.
The first party in control was the
Federal party, George Washing
ton and John Adams the chief
magistrates = Washington eight
years and Adams four years; be-
ing twelve years of Federal rule.
In 1900 began the rule of Dem
ocracy under the presidency of
jefferson. It was first called the
Republican party, but in course
of time was changed into the
Democratic party. This great
popular party was in control of
the government from jefferson
to Van Buren, from 1890 to 1910
forty years Of consecutive rule.
The next twenty years, from
1910 to 1860, was divided be-
tween the Wing and Democratic
parties. Harrison, the Wing can
didate, was elected in 1910, but
died in a few weeks after his in
auguration; John Tyler becoming
the acting chief magistrate. In
1874 the Democrats elected James
K. Polk, who served four years.
In 1848 Gen. Zack. Taylor was
elected by the Wings. He, too,
died during his term in Office,
fillmore becoming the acting
chief magistrate. Again, the
Democrats elected Franklin
Pierce in 1852, and James Buch-
anan in 1856. In 1860 the Re-
publican party elected Abraham
Lincoln, and every subsequent
chief magistrate, except Grover
Cleveland, who served two terms.
Taking eight years of Democra-
cy under Cleveland out of the
fortyeight since 1860 leaves for
. ty years of Republican admins
tration.
If we count the Federal, the
Wing, and the Republican party
as essentially the same in poll
cies and principles, it shows six
ty years of control by the Re-
publican party; and by adding
the admins tration of Polk,
Pierce, Buchanan and Cleveland,
twenty years, to the forty years
from Jefferson to Van Buren, in
elusive, it gives us sixty years of
Democratic rule-an equal divis-
ion of time, sixty years to each,
making one hundred and twenty
years since the Inauguration OF
the immortal George Washington.
In looking over these various
administrations we can find no
difference in the matter OF popu-
lar rule. The people ruled just
the same whether the admins
tration was Federal, Wing, Dem
ocratic, or Republican. There is
no dark period in our history in
which the people did not rule
rule through their chosen agents..
This shows that Judge Taft
was absolutely correct when he
said, ''The people have ruled"
And this being true, how can it
be true that the paramount ques-
