greatest Of violin ~VirtuosOs and return
with the much h~ackneyed expression:

Though there is no doubt that genius
is born in man. still it must be per-
fected by the ~unceasinS labor of many
years. Genius is work. 1t is. to be
commonplace, dig n grind and un-
polished. There is another and
sweeter side to- the virtuoso, and that
is his Inspiration. Let us follow him
to a cOncert hall; the orchestra is seat
ed; their leader raps his baton for
attention and all eyes are turned to
the wing from which,, in a second,
the ~NirtuosO Will appear. He walks
gracefully to the center of the stage,
end is greeted by t~hunderous ap-
plause from thousands who, he knows,
have never, ten to one, heard him,
and only applaud to be smiled at by
the world at large, for their good
taste and appreciation of genius. He
cares naught for this, for when he
begins those first notes of the great
concerto the ORCHESTRA, audience, all
fade with insignificance, and framed
~perchance by the tapestry of some
box, he sees only an angel face, which
awaits him in a far distant land or

Still they have seen through the me-
dunn Of this soul, music, that vision
so real to the virtuosO. The glory or
those eyes, the sweetness Of that smile,
both of these ave they in a measure

nothing for them, lest perchance
mingled with those products of the
dollhouse he finds the flower she
loves most. Some simple, Wild child of
nature will most likely be found IN
his dressing room, the sender a
music lover, being ashamed to place
so m a bloom beside the bounty
sent by wealth. This little flower
finds a place over the masters heart
and remains unWithered long after
the others have languished and died.
Then YOU wonder. cold men of the
world, whose god is money, how q
v%irtuoso can play SO divinely. Re-
member this when hearing the next

Federal Attorneys Believed to Wei

NEW YORK, Dec. 1S.-Oliver
Spitzer, the Williamsburg dock super
intendent, and the four checkers found
guilty last night Of conspiracy to de-
fraud the government by underweigh-
ing sugar imported by the American
Sugar Refining company, were not SEN
fenced today.
Instead the criminal branch of the
federal circuit allowed them freedom
under bail until January s, when they
will present arguments for a new trial.
Henry L. Stimson, special counsel
for the government, announced that he
would oppose any attempt to place the
convicted men on bail after sentence
had been passed.
It is believed the federal attorneys
welcome the stay in sentence because
they hope that some of the indicted
men may give them valuable informa-
tion on the chance of thus tightening
their punishment
Patrick Hennessey a white-haired
veteran Of the weighing docks and one
of the convicted men, talked in court
today with Prosecutor Stimson, and
the latter was heard to say:
"I will be pleased to see you in my
office"
In granting the delay Of sentence
Judge Martin intimated that confess
sions involving superiors might win
the convicted men lighter sentences.
"If these men," he said, "were led to
do wrong through the influence of
stronger, minds, they are entitled to
the full benefit of the mercy of the
court. They should not now be shield
ing persons who might have controlled
their action at the risk that the courts
may not take into consideration the

WOMAN AS A MORAL FORCE

Although as the head of Harvard uni
versity President Lowell is in charge of
an institution that was founded for the
education and is. managed by and in
the interests of men, he is a staunch
upholder of the modern idea that wom-
er should share in the knowledge and
ins truction that were once held to be
the sole right of the male sex. In an
address delivered by him to the stu
dents of Radcliffe college the other day
he emphasized and enlarged upon the
portion of his inaugural address which
voiced his belief that a student should
aim 10 gain an acquaintance with many
lines of thought as well as to know one
thing thoroughly, and he applied his
theory to the women of Radcliffe as
we'll as to the men Of Harvard.
There can be no doubt that women
are of more influence to the future cul-
ture of America than men, and that,
therefore, the college-trained woman
holds, and will always increasingly
hold, an important position and acquire
a constantly enlarged power. Great
changes have taken place in women's
education," he said. lin the last two
generations. Sixty years ago the train
ing was for the sake of accomplish
ments, and education was ornamental.
1t enabled girls to say they talked
french and played the piano. There
Was little attempt to train their minds.
Now all is changed, and women's minds
are trained as much as mems and in
much the same way" It.is the women
of the future that will mold the atti-
tude and thought of our descendants,
and the fate of our country and the
stability of the next generation will de-
volve upon the college-bred more than
upon any other class of women
Yet President Lowell, in pursuit of his
theory that we should all of us, women
IS well as men, know one thing thor
oughly, does not arrogate to himself
the choice of that subject for all per-
sons He believes that it depends upon
the individual, and that the purpose is
not SC much mere knowledge as it Is
the ability to think profoundly. The
thoughtful woman is the woman who is
needed, and the woman who will rule,
not so much through the vote that may
eventually come to her, as through her
influence and her mental and moral
stimulus.
