ENGLISH OPERA GETS AN
OTHER STRONG ADVOCATE.

John Phillip Sousa, the bandmaster,
Is an advocate of grand opera IN Eng
Ish-
He believes that grand opera should
be Ineligible
It was suggested in The Times
months ago that opera in English
would be appreciated by thousands Of
music lovers who, not understanding
Italian. German, and French, found
the foreign tongue an impeachment TO
their enjoyment Of a performance
Since then several musical celebrities
have expressed themselves in accord
with this idea
Walter Damrosch favors English
opera. Lillian Nordica IS enthusiastic,
and now Sousa speaks Tor It. Says
ne:
Certainly I believe English should
be used in opera II IS as SlnSaole
and as musical as any or the Ian
=ua- one listens to- Its as musical
certainly. when II is rightly euuD-
ciated and when the iibreJJOs are
properly worcec-
If English Is singable, why should
not opera be sung IN a language IA
miIiar 70 the vast majority of opera
goersz
To continue the foreign operas to
the exclusion Of English Is a sign Of
putting on musical airs-why not put
them on IN EngIishz

PRECAUTIONS AGAINST TY-
PHOID NECESSARY.

Whether CT not the District of Co
lumbia Is threatened with an endemic
OF typhoid fever. the advice of the
Health Officer as TO precautions against
the disease IS timely and worthy OF
acceptance II there exists some one
center from which typhoid germs are
being disseminated among the people.
precautions are Imperative At any
rate, 1t can do 10 harm TO guard
against the maIady in every possible
way while the authorities are making
an investigation and determining lust
how serious Is the situation.
During the last few years medical
scientists have established beyond yea

Of the chief means by which typhoid
germs are transmitted. This being

All water and milk taken into the
system should first be boilcd-
All food should be kept where flies
cannot crawl over II.
No raw vegetables OF oysters should
be eaten
Typhoid patients should be protect
ed by screens or nets, TO prevent flies
carrying disease germs from them TO
others.
Care should be exercised to make
certain that 10 dishes, bed clothing.
books. or other articles used by a
typhoid patient are used by another
without being thoroughly steriIfzed.
II these simple precautions were OBJ
served there would be little likelihood
that typhoid would become epidemic
IN Washington. It would be speedily
stamped out.

TWO SIGNIFICANT PLEAS FOR
PARTY SUPPORT.

Two significant appeals for party
regularity have been uttered within
the last few days. The one, by Sen
ator Aldrich, was as follows.
In the tariff discussions of other
days The advocates of the protective
policy have usually been called TO
meet in debate men with convictions
on the blect-DemoCrats OF charac-
ter, whose theories OF government
differed completely from those held
by Republican PrOteCtIOnISLS- men

INTEREST OF THE POOR IN

Mayor GaynOr talks as if ne were IA

that he was not saro enough to know
exactly what crime he was commit
ting But what a gap there Is in his
logic,
He wanted to kill the mayor be-
cause he lost his place In putting
municipal government on a business
plane it may be necessary to throw
many men out of ~9rk- Nobody likes
TO see it done. But unless economy Is
exercised in the administration OF city
affairs the poor in the long run will
suffer most severely. If Iaxity of gov
eminent and lavish expenditure send
up the tax rate, crippling industry and
making business halt and limp, the
rich can stand it; 1t Is the man who
Is put out of a job by the slael,ening
