vestige of special privilege. at. the, ;e4-
pense of public interest, to liberate
trade from unjust Entertainments, to

to these ideals, because of his broad

character, ability and experience, be-
cause tested in the difficult fields of
judicial and administrative work, he
has proved his quality by eminent serv-
ice, because Of his varied learning. his

SECRETARY WILSON CHEERFUL
Head of Agricultural Department on
Business and Political Condi-
tons in the West.

neaQ OF Agricultural department. on
Business and Political Condi-
tions in the West.
James Wilson, secretary of agricul-
ture, who has just returned to Wash
ington from a visit of two months in
the West, brings cheering prosperity
bulletin. He declares that the West
doesn't know much about the alleged
business troubles. Its farmers have
magnificent crops growing, and are sell
ing the old crops and are preparing
to sell the new ones for high prices.
Weather and crop conditions this sea-
son have been excellent, and the new
crops, the secretary believes, will have
most buoyant effect on financial and
commercial conditions all over the
country. He confidently looks for
continuation Of the improvement in
business which has been apparent every
where for the last few months, and
for it's forward movement at an ac-
CELEBRATED speed.
"Generally speaking" said the secre-
tary, "the information of our depart
ment shows that in recent years there
has been considerable increase in the
productiveness Of the soil. We have
Investigated this carefully, and there is
no doubt that the acre yield of crops is
showing a most significant increase
We attribute it to better farming meth
DDS, to assimilation of the scientific in
formation about crop rotation, caring
for the soil, ETC., which the department
and the agricultural colleges have
placed at the command of the farmers,
and to general effort at intelligent
preservation of the elements which en-
able the soil to do it's best work"
Speaking of political conditions, Sec
rotary Wilson said that the drift in the
West is all for Taft, and he expressed
strong conviction, based on his in
quiries in a number of states, that Mr..
Taft will carry all the states that
President Roosevelt carried four years
ago, so far as the West is concerned
The feeling that Republican rule will
bring back general prosperity and as
sure its continuance is a powerful in

HAYDN AND THE CREATION.

The following is a brief sketch
of Joseph Haydn and his great mu-
sical work which was rendered by
the Bloomsbury Choral Society in
the M. E. church last Tuesday
evening.
Haydn was born in a small vii
lage in Lower Austria in 1882 of
humble parentage. His father and
grand father were wheelwrights
and his mother cook in the house
hold of the lord of the village.
The family had music in SIM
pie way in the home and young
Joseph was noted for his correct
ear and keen sense of rythms.
His early life was one of misfor-
tune and poverty but by the time
he was thirty his genious and work
had brought him comparative COM
fort.
When he was nearly sixty he
made his first visit to England. At
this time he was famous through
I out the civilized world and was re-
ceived there with marked distinc-
ton.
While there, he attended the
Handle Commemoration at West
minister Abby and heard for the
first time the Messiah. When
the full power of the "Hallelujah
Chorus" burst upon him, he wept
like child and exclaimed Handel
is the Master of us all. F"
Upon his return he determined
to compose work after that style.
In two years he completed the
"Creation" his greatest work which
has been sung for a century.
It's first performance in America
was in Bethlehem, Pa, almost
century ago and Haydn had cores
pondence with them at the time.
The overture opens with weird
strange harmonies representing cha
os but finally finishes in quiet and
orderly style.
The baritone has a short half
recited song followed by chorus
in quiet style. At the words, "let
there be light - and there was
light" The chorus bursts into its
full strength.
The soloist sings the description.
The choruses are the glad songs of
JOY at the completion of each days
work.
The last chorus Achieved is the
glorious work" is a fitting closing
chorus for this magnificent work.
