WAGNER MUSIC CHARMS
CLUBW0MEN OF EBELL
Chorus in Dutch Costumes and
SoIoistS Render Attrac-
tive Program

Wagner music and an explanation of
the Wagner myths was a subject which
attracted many members and guests to
the Ebell club house yesterday. Seats
through the patio, and in the large re-
ception room were occupied by the
many listeners who were unable to
find either seats or standing room in
the main auditorium. The program
was beautifully rendered, and the cho-
rus in Dutch costumes, sang the spin
ming song from the Flying Dutchman
with splendid effect. Each member of
the group possesses q voice of assured
quality, and the careful training given
by Mrs. Harmon Ryus and Miss, Mar
garet Goetz made the unity and phras-
ing of the singing we'll above the or
binary.
Another effective concerted number
was the trio of the Rhine Maidens
from "Das Rheingold," in which Mrs.
Kirkpatrick, Mrs. Mabee and Miss
Montgomery appeared.
Mrs. w. j. Kirkpatrick sang in ex-
cellent voice the Santas aria from
THE Flying Dutchman," and DR.. Bruce
Gordon Kingsley played the Prize
Song from Die Miestersinger, and later
the Spring song and Ride of the VAL
kyrleS from the Valkyrie.
DISCUSSES WAGNER MYTHS
The discussion of the Wagner myths
by Margaret LAGRANGE was most IL
Eliminating, and served to bring the
wonderful genius of this great COM
poser more closely home to all mem
bers of the audience. The eloquence
and magnetism of the speaker, and her
presentation of the theme held the at
tention of every listener.
The members of the chorus were:
Mrs. Allen D. Butt, Mrs. A. C. Calkins,
Mrs. G. H. Doane, Mrs. j. A. Donate,
Mrs. Lorenzo w. Foster, Mrs. Frances
l.. Fowley, Miss Marguerite Gilbert,
Miss Honor C. Graham, Mrs Jacob G.
Hanst. Miss Marybell Heath, Mrs
Frederick w. Johnson, Mrs. Clark w.
Kesler, Miss Ada Levy, Miss Mary
Mendenhall, Miss Lenore Montgomery,
Mrs. J. R. Prince, Miss Frances Ray
Mrs. May j. Shallert, Miss Hilda Smith,
Miss Marian Welsh, Miss Louise Wells
and Miss Emily Wilde. The spinning
wheels used in the chorus were from
the Arts and Crafts shop. In honor
of the rather special occasion, delicious
ices and cakes were served in the Ii
brary, dining room and patio after the
program. The members of the Flying
Dutchman chorus, in their picturesque
costumes, assisted in serving the re-
freshments.

800, 900. Therefore all four bids
were thrown out and the city en-
gineer's department will be asked
to recheck their estimates. Then,
probably, new bids will be called
for.
A significant fact 10 that, while
the Blome people were the sole bid
ders, from the nature Of the case
and the concomitant restrictions, no
other concern could bid.
The Blome concern convinced the
councilmen that their concrete paw
ing preparation was superior to any
other. 1t was decided by the council
that it should be specified hereafter
when calling for bids that this ma
terial should be used. The legal ad-
wiser OF the council decided that
such a restriction was legal, as all
the charter called for was that bid
ding should be competitive, and this
might still be technically adhered
to, because any other concern wish
ing to bid might do so on the Blome
material, by agreeing to pay that
company a royalty.
But what concern could expect to
have any chance to outbid the
Blome concern when they would
have to pay royalty. in addition to
the cost Of the work?
The Hassam people have made an
arrangement with the city by which
their pavement may be used by
other paving concerns, but royalty
of 35 cents yard must be paid fol
all material that Is not laid by the
company owning and controlling the
patent.
Yesterday the bids were opened
at q meeting of the commissioners
but rejected after some little dis
cussion. 1t was not hard to SEE

had gotten the city into.

that Roosevelt had endorsed my

Roosevelt afterward said. When
the opposition tried to make capital

hard they are pressed for campaign
material.

He is the father of progressiveism
and is proud to see the movement

Il enjoy a good scrap, especially
if it is conducted in the proper
manner fair and aboveboard. But
if it comes to case Of hammer
and tongs the opposition will find
me in the game with them. We
realize, an dso do the reactionary
element. that the people are with us
in this fight, and that the cause of
progressive ideas in national af-
fairs will win out if the people are
permitted to express their prefer
ence at the polls, unhampered by
side issues. Having no argument,
the opposition must necessarily re-
sort to peculiar tactics to win.

Seabury Merritt is looked upon as
the regular organization candidate
for congress from this district. Mer-
rift is making the race on the same
platform on which John l.. Wilson
is running for senator-party regu-
larity. Merritt is the only congress
sional candidate that has the city
placarded with his photograph. He
is the man the progressives will
have to beat for congress.
Orris Dorman, wealthy land
owner of Spokane, is the only DEM
ocrat mentioned for congressional
honors. He seems to have no oppo-
sition.
If the average politician thinks
that the question of the ballot for
woman is not going to cut a figure
in this campaign he had better wise
up little on the political situation.
The best political organization in
eastern Washington today is the
| group of Spokane women directing
the campaign for equal suffrage.
They already have four speakers
in the field and are carrying on
their work with the men that listen
to political talks when delivered
from the heart out-the farmers and
union workingmen of the state. II
is among this class of voters, form
ing the bulk of our population, that
the women eXpest to get support
and are receiving it.
While the women are not mixing
in the congressional, senatorial OF
Legislative campaigns they are
watching the men who aspire to fill
those places. And when woman
goes home at night and registers
kick with her partner about the
stand of Mr.. So and Co on the suf
frage question, such protest will
count, and don't you overlook it.
