most attractive musical affairs ever given in
Belfast will take place next Tuesday evening
in Memorial Hall. Mr.. Frederic Martin of
New York, conceded to be one of the leading
artists of the country, will give recital, assis-
ted by Miss Rhea Hunter, the talented young
soprano of Tennessee. Mr.. Hanshue will also
be heard to advantage in group of songs,
several duets, and the great trio in the fifth
act of Gounod's immortal opera, "Faust." Mr..
Martin has superb basso profundo voice of
great power and range which he uses in a most
artistic fashion. He enunciates clearly, and
sings the most forid music written with the
ease of soprano. Mr.. Martin has had sue
cessful career as solost in oratorio, concert
recital and festival throughout the country.
His appearances in 1909 include Worcester
festival, Mass. Fourth appearance) Handel &
oratorio societies in Lynn, Brockton, Newbury-
port, Mass, New Haven, Conn.,, Apollo Club,
Boston, Union Club, Providence, R. l., Men
delssohn Club, Chicago, Mendelssohn Club,
Toronto, Canada. and many other engagements
in Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania.
New York and Colorado. In the spring of 1907
Mr.. Martin went on festival tour with the
Chicago Symphony orchestra; in 1908 with the
Boston Festival orchestra, Emil Mollenhauer,
director; in 1909, with the Pittsburg Symphony
orchestra on a long festival tour in the south,
singing from one to three concerts in the fol-
lowing cities: Charlottesville, Petersburg,
Lynchburg, Roanoke, Norfolk, Richmond, Va,
Asheville, Charlotte, Raleigh, Wilmington, N.
C. On August 21st he will sing at Ocean
Grove, N. j., with large orchestra under the
direction of Walter Damrosch. 1t will be
readily seen that Mr.. Martin has national
reputation and is repeatedly in demand by the
best societies in the country. Able critics
have conceded that Mr.. Martin is the logical
successor to the late Myron w. Whitney, the
greatest basso of his time. The program will
be of great beauty and exceedingly varied
Miss Mildred Holloway of Texas will play the
Accomplishments. Mr.. Pitcher will furnish 8
new piano. The recital will be under the i'm

The Matthews. Controversy
.44+4+++4t

To the Editor of the Star:
We are confronted by two extremes,
and truth lies in a mediation of OPP
posites." While we object to the princi-
pies of Ferrer and deprecate the action
Of Prof. Mathews, it is clear that he
and his associates are not alone on
trial before the jury of your readers.
Violent reaction is a natural result Of
violent action. In considering an eff
feet, we are bound to consider h
cause.
The real issue is the protection OF our
public school, not only from anarchicai
influence on the one side. put from the
menace of an organization which, to
quote one of your correspondents. de-
clares that the public schools should
be under its control and SHOULD not
be subject to the civil power nor made
to conform to the opinions of the age"
The adherence of this organization to
the motto, "Semper idem" might seem
to make the inquisition a. part Of it's
program, merely awaiting its rapid ac-
quirement of power. In fact, the ques-
tion OF church and state is SO inter-
locked with the subject under discus
sion as to be impossible Of elimination.
Men who feel that the masses are be-
ing oppressed and exploited In the name
Of religion naturally object; but never
do we hear q word In opposition to the
precepts and example of Christ.
FAIR PLAY.

STATE PROVIDENCE
AGAINST BLINDNESS

guard against injury or loss of eyesight. Every man and woman
in the State has a certain economic value. which is seriously i'm
paired, if not destroyed. when the sight is gone. Then in most
cases the individual becomes a charge and burden. One neces-
sary means is the prohibition of the sale of worthless glasses by
fakirs and peddlers. The man who sells cheap eyeglasses, with
out regard to the nature of the defect of vision, is more dangerous
than the quack who sells nostrums and has no idea of the char
acter of the illness he is prescribing for, for the doses administered
may at least do no harm, while injury to the eyesigbt may be
irreparable. The State also ignorantIy neglects the care of the
eyes of its children-the next generation. 1t gives new schools
and teachers and textbooks, but lets the eyes and teeth of the
children go. In both cases there is an immense economic loss to
the State. Our civilization prides itself on it's care of childhood
and its laws to protect humanity from injury, but in some respects
it isn't very far removed from semibarbarism.

without good and promising material to choose from. Woodrow
Wilson is in a class by himself. If he would accept the nomi
nation his candidacy would reflect the highest credit upon the
party and place its campaign next year on the very highest plane.
Hudson, Middesex and Passaic have their prospective candidates;
Essex may develop one. There may be a likely dark horse else
where in the State. The Democratic program is evidently a
Micawber one of waiting for developments. The outlook will be
clearer after the next Legislature adjourns. But this much is GER
tain, the New Jersey Democracy will next year take a candidate
without regard TO section, as long as he is the kind to draw votes,
and will make one of the stifest fights in political history in the

BETTER BUSINESS
METHOD AT TRENTON

the Legislature last winter. Always heretofore the official repre-
sentatives of the institutions had to appear before the joint ap-
committee during the session to state and urge their
institutional needs. By the new system the managers will be pro-
yided with blanks for detailed statements of what they require in
appropriations for the next year. These statements must be
handed ITO the comptroller prior to January 1. so that when the
X&6islature meets the comptroller will have been furnished with
~ the figures of the amounts that will be asked for in the two ap
@S0prfation bills. This information will be printed in pamphlet
zDfm and copies will be furnished to the members of the Legis
1ature when the session begins. The new system is SO businesslike
that it is really a wonder it was ever adopted at Trenton.

letters are very insulting and ridicule a
faith. which the parties that do the
ridiculing know nothing about. Par
ticularly anon these are some of our
honorable, learned and well versed
young men of the Barringer High
School. Young men who are taught
to be bigoted to h true faith and to
all faith, to the Bible, will be a dis
grace to the country, instead OF a
credit. Let Mr.. Mathews come forth
and say something. He is showing that
he has some black blood In him when
he won't come out. Come out, profess
scr, n redeem yourself. We should
look well before we intrust the young
in such a place as that, to be taught
wrongly and make impressions on them
that are all utopia" Let the professor
wake up out of that long trance he
has had, and let him say, at least, that,

r B. PARKER
FOR HI

Parker is a Democrat, but there are ilustrious presidents for such
a selection. President Adams appointed John Marshall, who was
not of his party; President Hayes appointed Justice Key, formerly
a Confederate soldier and a Democrat; President Harrison ap
pointed Howell Jackson, also a former Confederate soldier and a
Democrat: Justice Peckham was a Democrat. The rule followed
in judicial appointments in New Jersey is for a justice to be sue
ceeded by a representative of his own party. Mr.. Parker is sngu-
Iar1y we'll qualified by his long service in the New York judiciary
and his seven years occupancy of the chief justiceship of the
Court of Appeals of New York. He is prominently the Jurlst,
rather than the advocate and counselor.
