lean music is more and more making
a way for itself. A good deal OF this
music, it is true, is still composed OF
Coon Songs" and Rag Time" pieces.
and very often an insult to an educat-
ed musical ear. But good music is al
so coming to the front. Ten years ago
1t was not considered possible In Eu-
rope that a musical composer could
be born in America. American inven-
tive genius, American machinery.
American farming methods, American
commerce and trade-those were un-
deniable facts of respectable proper
lions. but American music? The day
of really great and distinctively
American musical composition is still
in the future. American composers
have attempted symphony and ora
torio, but their works rest on dusty
shelves. AS a matter Of fact only one
American firm has undertaken to pub
lish these works.
The rendering of musical compost
lions, however, in America also. is on
a very high plane. In instrumental
music musicians of the Teutonic and
Slavic races predominant, though
there Is no lack Of American perform
ers also. Instrumental music has
reached such a high degree Of perfec-
ton that the beginner, striving to
reach the pinnacle of fame, finds al
most insuperable difficulties. Thus
far American performers seem to be
most successful in vocal music. The
time when italian singers monopolized
the field is past. German and Ameri-
can singers, male and female have Of
late gained great repute In this field.
Orchestral music likewise has reached
a high degree of perfection and is lib
orally ~patronized by all classes Of the
people, and as might be expected un-
musical instruments of all kinds has
here reached a stage of perfection ex-
ceeded nowhere else. But in the field
of musical composition, especially IN
popular song, thre is still a wide and
virgin field awaiting cultivation and
development.
What we Americans need and
wherein. we differ from continental
European nations to u disadvantage
is the social, school and congregation
al cultivation of music. At social
gatherings of young Americans you
seldom hear good part singing In
which all, or the majority. join. Bring
ing a serenade with really good sing
ing Is a rare thing. Not 50 In Europe.
There one can, of an evening, often
hear good quartet singing and will be
surprised to learn that the singers are
workingmen. Our public schools and
academies also have not fostered vo-
cal music as they should have done,
though 1t seems that in this partic-
ular things r changing for the bet
ter. When music shall be appreciated
and understood In the home, school
and church, then may we hope to see
composers and great artists in U
midst, and when we have them they
will be valued.

Taft's Queer Position.

The president asserts that under MS
guidance, and with his assent, his
party has fulfilled loyalty it's cam
paign pledges" He refers, of course,
to the tariff. But in the same breath
that he asserts the loyal fulfillment of
tariff pledges he proceeds to plead
that tariff experts will submit to the
president within two years recon-
mendations for revision Of certain
schedules of the tariff law" These
recommendations will be based on
information now being gathered
by the experts as to the difference of
costs at home and abroad. The tariff
pledge of the Republican party was
that the principle should be applied to
the whole tariff. If it was loyalty full
filed, why are experts being employed
and for the first time-to find out
what that difference Is and what
changes the principle requires? We
really do not recall In recent political
history an exhibition of such amazing
decentralization, such innocent con-
fession of utter befuddlement as to a
great party Issue by a man In such
high post. We regret to use language
of this sort as to MI. Taft, and we
do it with all due respect for his sin
cerity and good faith. But the facts
are so plain that they need but to be
stated to show what an extraordinary
blank there is in his mind on this
question.

No Answer at All.

Mr.. Cannon's answer to Senator
Bristow is no answer at all. The ques.
ton is, were these rubber duties Jug
gled In the interest of a trust which 1t
was proposed to organize. and which
later was organized. and were mem
bers Of the trust who were also mem.
bers Of the senate parties to the trans
action? It is nd answer to these ques-
lions to suggest grand jury action. for
the offense here is not membership In
an illegal trust, but the use of official
powers to strengthen that trust and
to make its business more profitable
for those interested in 1t. All this will
be discussed during the campaign. and
It is likely that as a result we shall
get the whole truth exactly as it is.

CENTURIES OF WORK AHEAD
Under Republican Progress Four Hun
dred Years VIII Be Needed for
Tariff Revision.

The Saturday Evening Post calcu
lates that at the present rate of prog
ress It will take 400 years ito get the
tariff down to reasonable limits" This
| conclusion is the result Of its appeal
to the figures which. according to one
of the Evening Posts contemporaries,
upheld President Taft and his new
tariff" 1t seems that for the nine
months ending with April the average
duty on all imports. free and dutiable,
was 20.91 per cent as against 22.73
per cent. under the Dingley law. On
dutiable imports the average was
Alb per cent. whereas under the
Dingley law it was 42.41 per cent
Thus says the Post:
After all the vast cOmmOtiOn.
which tariff revision involved, we get
a reduction of duty amounting to .6S
of one per cent. as to dutiable I'M
ports, or to almost two per cent. as to
all imports, free and dutiable com
bined."
Here Is the Posts conclusion:
"Since 1870 the Republican party
has youchsafed us q reduction OF 2.Z2
per cent. In the duty on manufactures
or, to be exact, on all dutiable I'M
ports. This is at the rate of one per
cent. every Is years. At that rate 1t
will take only 400 years to get the
tariff down to reasonable limits. Nc
wonder the president regards the fig
ures complacently! But we do not
think any Insurgent VIII be dismayed
by them"
But something must be said, not
only of the reduction, but Of its con.
sequences. Between 1870 and 1905
we are told that the number Of iron
and steel mills fell from sos to 606,
though the value of the output rose
from 5000, OOO, 900 to $500, O00. 900. The
number of wooden mills fell from 3.20S
to 1918, though the value of the prod
uct rose from $20O,0 OO. 900 to $780,
600, 600. In the cotton industry there
has been a growth both in the num-
Der of mills and In the product, the
former rising from $50 to LOTT, and
the latter from $40, 000, 900 to $440.-
600, 600. This" says the Post, bare
ly suggests the growth of manu-
facturers and the extent to which
they have been consolidated or 'trusti.
fed" The growth is not great, con.
sidering the long period of time Gov
cred, no greater than would have
been experienced under a much low.
er tariff, or even under no tariff at all.
But the tendency toward consolidation
has been marked.
Such are some Of the figures which
uphold President Taft and the new
tariff" Others might be, and OF
course, will be given. It a be shown
that the workingmen get little or none
of the bonus, that the labor cost OF
production is less than the protection
granted, and that, therefore, the pres
ent duties, besides covering whatever
difference there may be between the
cost of production here and abroad.
more than cover the total labor cost
of manufacture. But the immediate
ly interesting fact is that It will take
congress, at the present rate, 4O0
years to effect any reduction Of duties
at all worth while.

But If France has in modern times
furnished few important contribu-
lions to musical literature, Italy has
done still less, though this country
produced an unbroken line Of great
composers from Monteverde in the
sixteenth century to Verdi in the
nineteenth. OF the newer italian COM
posers, who for the most part wrote
only superficial, e~xtravagant and SEN
sual works, only Pietro Mascagni
achieved a genuine success with his
beautiful and fiery "Cavalleria Rusti-
cana" Puccini also. the composer of
"Tosca" and La Boheme," has gained
the respect of the music-loving pub
lie.
The newest field of musical compo-
sition and virtuosity has been opened
by Scandinavian and Slavic compos-
ers and virtuosi. This field is, like
the new Siberian and M%anchurian

suits. Both the Scandinavians and
the Slavs have, greatly to their own
advantage, made the folk-song the
starting point of their compositions, a
full, bubbling, exhaustless spring
OF the Slav peoples two n%ationali-
ties have of late done great things in
music; the Russians and the Bohemi-
ans. Both have only In the nineteenth
century begun to make a reputation
for themselves. Since Glinka In 1910
produced musical treasures from the
Russian folk-song, musical taste has
developed in Russia and Is now bear
ing abundant fruit.
But today even Russia recognizes,
as does the whole world, that the
great German masters will remain
models for all time to all nations.
In Bohemia the greatest repre-
sentative of the musical art-and per-
haps also the greatest Of the later
composers-is Anton Dvorak. In his
music the national element Is even
more prominent than in that Of the
Russians, but the tragic melancholy
which is so often so noticeable in
Russian music is here replaced by live
ly, fiery melodies. The Bohemians
have specially produced great violin
and piano players. Who does not know

list Kubelik? What triumphs they

Adrian, Mich, Nov. 29.-James w
Heme is home from the annual con-
vention of the national grange at At
lantic City and he has this to say
about reports that the national body
expelled him:
"The resolution was adopted oxpeil-
ing me from the sixth degree of the
order. Now the sixth degree is one of
those ornamental degrees found fre.
quently in secret societies. No bust
ness is ever done I'm the sixth degree.
State, national and subordinate
oranges all do business in the fourth
degree. The sixth degree consists prin-
cipally of red fire and fair women. AS
I am married, have no use for either.

also be passed ordering my local
grange to try me and find me guilty
and expel me. But there are courts
i'm the land that will compel even Sc
cret societies to obey their own laws.
No mans rights can be taken from
him, even in a secret society without
a fair trial and have no fear of any
such trial"

less grangers i'm them than Lenawee
