REALISTIC MUSIC.

One of the charms of music is
that the unsteady uneducated per-
son does not have to understand"
it. With Initiative" music, how
ever, the case is quite different, and
every passage has either an obvious
or thinly concealed meaning. Oc-
casionally it is hard to decipher GER
tain unusual noises, as the follow
ing story from Fliegende Blaetter
indicates:
The composer had just played his
last piece to his friend, the critic.
Every fine, indeed" said the
critic. But what is that passage
which makes the cold chills run
down the bask?"
"Oh," returned the composer,
that is where the wanderer has the
hotel bill brought to him."

PROFITS OF STATE PRISON
FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS

the expenditures were $3.50, 64O.26.

celptS Oh cash were $311 ,319.13, while
the expenditures were $3.50, 64O.26.
But these figures are from Mr.. Yer
gers biennial report, as stated. He
admits that they no more represent
the actual conditions than would al.
most any other group of Arabics that
might be placed together, because of
the peculiarly bunglesome accounting
system, which violates all rules of
bookkeeping and makes it utterly i'm
possible to show by the weeks at any
time the actual conditions.
For instance, the fiscal year ends on
Sept. 80. In the expenditures UP to
that time is included practically al,
the items included in the cost of pro,
duction of the states crop. while the
crop itself remains unsold at that
time, and there is no corresponding
item in the receipts. The showing of
profit for any one year is therefore
necessarily part of two years bust;
ness, and leaves the current crop to

MAND SETTING OF DATE FOR
VOTE ON BILL.

Washington, Jan. 14.-During the
consideration of the postal savings
bank bill in the senate today Senator

urger Mr.. Carter to permit the bill to
go over that the omnibus claims bill

belief that all senators realized that
there could be no vote on the meas
ure at the present session.
"All senators do not realize that"
replied Mr.. Carter.
IF what the senator from Oregon
suggests is true" interjected Mr.. Hop
kins, Il hope the bill will be pressed
in season and out of season. 1t Is a
bill in the interest of the people and
Is favored bby the president, by the
president and by the postmaster
general and it should pass"
Mr.. Carter said that after senators
had had an opportunity to speak he
would ask that a day be fixed for a

of the coming generation are enslaved in

These sentiments, spoken by leaders of

of the organization in its work to better

Among the recommendations made by

and speak clearly-it would result in two
desirable things: First, there would be
better leadership; and, second, the men
would fight out in their secret meetings,
in n war of words, most of the battles that
are now being fought out on the streets
of our big cities with the bullet and the
bludgcon.
Meanwhile, we are smuggling away. We
get Il good many knocks-thosc of us who
stand for the union, but 4 fellow must ex-
pect that. Even the folks that fought for
the early church got some hard raps. 1
notice, by the way, that no one in this
country is getting many of them for the
church s sake, these days. And things
aren t what they should be, either. There
is good deal about this labor movement
that suggests to me what the fight of
these early Crusaders must have been. 1
can't help but feel that the great Car
pentcr was Il member of the organization
of His craft, and m pretty sure that
Paul, the journcynlan tent maker, belong
ed to the tent makers guild. Anyway, it
was among the working people of his day
that he had his biggest success, and if the
accounts are true, the labor unions stood
by him in the fight for the - big'' church
the church to which we all belong, even
though we aren t Baptsts or Mcthodists
or Episcopalians.
