LAURELS FOR Fielder
Fourth Symphony Concert at Ma
tional Pleases Many.

The Boston Symphony Orchestra. Max
Fielder. conductor. gave its fourth con-
cert this season yesterday afternoon in the
New National Theater. before its CUSTOM
airy large audience OF music lovers. The
programme without a soloist was one
which was a test OF the musical appreci-
alton of a Washington audience. The
opening number was the overture 10
Weber's "Euryanthe." followed by schu-
bert's Unfinished Symphony" in B
minor. exqusitely given. 1t was the lat
ter half of the programme which
awakened the audience TO a full appreci-
alton Of the orchestra, the conductor, and
the music they were interpreting. and
their work in Rachmaninotf THE Island
OF the Dead symphonic poem for full
orchestra 10 the picture by A Bocklin,
opus 90, was superb
II IS a wonderful composition-not SOM
Der but powerful. fantastic. original II
requires particular strength in the cellOs,
/ where the Symphony yesterday was en-
tirely satisfying. After passing through
fury, torment and powerful disorder,
after the poetic opening measures, de-
pieting the tranquil Tapping OF the water
that surrounds the Island Of the Dead"
the music falls back TO the second theme
and finally returns to the first, and ends
peacefully and POLITICALLY. Mr.. Fielder
was recalled again and again by the en-
/ thusIastic listeners. His reading OF Wag-
ner's ''WaIdweben" C'Life and Stir OF the
/ ForestO, from Siegfried, Act II, and the
/ Overture TO "Rienzi" was worthy of the
genius Of that composer. and very par
ticularly will the memory Of the former
stand out brightly I'm the remembrance OF
/ those who heard IT,
Those who have proclaimed Max Fled
/ Ter to be conductor without tempera-
ment found themselves mistaken yester-
day. He and his orchestra rose to heights
of temperament in the Rachmaninoff and
Siegfried numbers, but always without
losing their delicious refinement

According TO g. statement issued by
Assistant Secretary Norton. of the Treas
ury Department. last night. nearly 300
employees Of that branch of the service
will be displaced on July /. This will
result from the reorganization Of the
service and the introduction Of econo-
mics in the clerical work OF the depart
ment.
Mr.. Norton said that while these
changes will follow the reforms deter
mined upon. It would be the aim of the
officials to make the hardship as light as
possible.
VIII Abolish Division of Issue.
The issue division OF the Treasurer's
Office will be abolished in part. The
work OF this division is to print the
yellow, blue, or red seals on United
States notes and put a serial number
on the bills. After July l this work will
be done in the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing. where, without any increase OF
force, il can be done simultaneously with
the printing OF the money. Plans have
been perfected by which $4,000. the sal
aries Of 100 employees. can be saved with
ont any dimunltiOn Of security and with
an actual increase in the volume and
quality Of the work.
Another economy, effective July 1 will
result In dispensing with seventy-seven
employees in the Office Of the Auditor for
the Post-Uffice Department by the intro
duction OF computing machines. This
viii save the government s55,000 a year
and viii lessen the time Of the audit OF
/ Post-office accounts from nine 10 four
months, besides increasing the accuracy
OF the audit to a mathematical Ger
tainty.
Due TO Study of Business Methods.
The determination to install these re-
forms in the Treasury service is the
result of a thorough study OF the bust
ness methods OF the department with a
view to economy and efficiency. Presi-
dent Taft has approved the reforms, and
has requested the heads OF the other
departments to I'll vacancies which may
occur In the clerical and other forces by
/ applying 10 the Treasury Department for
the transfer OF the employees 10 be dis
placed whenever practicable. The Treas
ury Department has for some months
past taken the course Of refraining from
/ filling. except by temporary appoint
ment, vacancies which have occurred
and in this way will, It is hoped, be in
position TO transfer to permanent places
la large number Of the employees whose
services IN the affected divisions will be
done away with. BY these two methods
it is the hope thet practically all, IL not
entirely all. of the efficient employees may
be continued IN the service.

Severely Hurt

MIR. Petersen, an aged gentleman
residing with his son, Nels J. Peter
sen 312 out west of town, started for
Extra Saturday, in his one-horse
buggy and when but a short dis
tance on his way one of the thills
dropped down frightening the
horse causing him to ruu off throw
ing the old man out onto the
ground striking on his head and
shoulders. His head was severely
injured, the skin being cut open to
the bone and his shoulder bruised.
He was rendered Unconscious aud
was found in that condition by
some of the neighbors. The horse
was nearly to town when he was
halted and caught by the Hensley
boys who happened to be there at
the time.

A Mistake Corrected

A foolish paragraph got under
headway sometime since and as the
Spanish proverb goes it went a
Thousand leagues while truth was
getting on it's boots. The paragraph
stated that fifty-seven ministers in
the upper Iowa Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church had
surrendered their parchments Civ.
en- up the ministry aud goue into
other pursuits because their finan.
cial support was so far from their
needs. Bishop Hamilton who pre-
sided at the Conference writes to
our otficial Journal saying That no
such detection from the Upper
Iowa Conference ever happened or
was ever contemplated there is no
truth in it. More than a dozen new
men knocked for admission, and
that the conference is so full that
he had to take come of them to
other conferences to find appoint
ments for them. Methodist minis-
ters, as rule do not enter the Min
istry because of the financial in
ducements and they do not retire
from it becaus of meager support.
They enter this sacred calling be-
cause they hear the voice of God.

Promoted

A clipping from the Cedar Rapids
Gazette of November 4, states that
AJ. 6. Wheelock has been appointed
Manager of the Gurler-Barth Com
pany to succeed A. j. Barth who re-
signed on account of ill health. Jap
was formerly butter-maker here
and went to Maquoketa, Iowa where
he had better paying proposition
in the came business. The clipping
does not say what the Company's
business is but the presumption is
that they are engaged in the butter
making business. We wish Mr..
Wheeiock success in his deserved
promotion.

Views Afoot
HOPE DEFERRED MAKETH
US SORE

Irrespective of the results of this
weeks elections, it seems that VIM. 81.
Taft, as president of our nation, is a
"near- fallnre.n
Hard as we have tried, and much as
we have desired, to discern in his ad-
ministrative acts some indication of
his solicitude for the ''plain people,
we have SO far failed. If he thinks at
all of the mass of i'll paid toilers, who
have made America pre- eminent
among the nations of the world but
who have received but a little fraction
OF the wealth they have created, he has
not shown it. To this time he has not
been found championing their cause,
or seeking to redress their wrongs. In
fact, it can not be said that he has gi-
ven any recognition of the fact that
the common people have any needof a
champion, or any wrongs to redress.
This would not be so bad if no other
interests had been recognized. But it
is certainly true that he has surrounded
himself by advisers who served Special
Privilege, that he has kept himself so
surrounded, that he has been led by
them in season and out, and that he
has given no token of any intended
change.
To sustain Ballinger in his nefarious
work, and to hold him up as "the best
secretary of the interior ever appoint
ed" is an outrage against our citizen
ship. But the attempt to bring shame
and ignominy upon Pinchot, CLAWS,
Price and Shaw, men who refused to
bow down to Baal, but chose to remain
loyal and true to their real masters, the
American people, raises still in our
hearts the burning desire to put the
shameful disgrace where it belongs.
His defense of the Payne -Aldrich
Tariff Bill rankles deeper, as we learn
more about the measure, which gives
to the protected classes just little
more protection than they ever had
before, and makes the cost ofliving just
little higher than the average mans
wages.
He stands vet SO far as one can tell,
for Cannonism, which is only one
phase of the administration of public
affairs by Special Privilege. In behalf
of one of Cannons lieutenant's, Taw-
ney of Minnesota. he made special
speech at Winona, which appears not
to have been good enough to save the
day, for Tawney has since met crush
ing defeat.
The wait has grown long, and the
disappointment bitter. 1t begins to
appear that Wall Street or someone
else has Slipped one over" on us, and
that we have all been buncoed. Where
fore, we are sore.

Our Des Moines Letter

The paramount topic of politics
for the week has been the appoint
meut of Lafe Young, the editor of
the Des Moines Capital, to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of Sen
ator Dolliver. While this appoint
ment had been almost certainty
for some time, yet it came as SUR
prise to moet of us who were not of
the timer circle"
Mr.. Young is native Iowan but
that fact is overcome in the eyes of
some by the larger fact that he be-
longs to the "standpap wing of the
party aud is to take the place in the
Senate ofthe most distinguished
"insurgent" of that body. His ap-
pointment holds only until his sue
cessor is elected by the Legislature
in January, or until that body ad-
journs in case it fails to agree on
his slccessor. The opinion here ie
prevalent that Governor Carroll
himself will be candidate before
the Legislature and that Sen.
Young's appointment was only
made after he had agreed not to be
a candidate at that time. 1t ia reas.
onably sure that Gov. Carroll, Sen.
Young, Atty. Gen. Byere, State Sen
ator Smith of Usage. Judge Kenyon
of Ft. Dodge, Harvey Iogham, edi-
tor of the Register and Leader and
Carl Francke, chairman of the Re
publican State Central Committee,
will each press their claims on the
Legislature for the honor. With so
large field it is impossible to pro-
phesy with any degree of certainty
but it would be well to keep your
eye on Byers.
Paul Stillman, editor of the Jeffef.
son Bee and representative from
Greene Co., is most prominently
mentioned for speakership of the
House. 1t is rumored that he will
have no opposition among the pro-
gressives and as that faction will
be in control with good majority
his election seems reasonably GER
tain. He had been slated for state
printer and could have secured that
position without doubt. but was
glad to throw that aside for the
high one. financially the state
printer is much better but is a
purely mercenary position, while
the speakership is an honor much
coveted by Legislators.
