Virginia Delegation Holding Out for
Pledges, But Other Democratic

Several state democratic delegations

his nomination will be unanimous.
The Virginia delegation is among
the more conspicuous of those that

Mr. Clark if he will pledge himself to
name a committee on committees.

INTERESTING REPORT
ON CHIPPEWA SONGS
Results of Two Years Study
Are Presented by Miss
Frances DenSmOre.

After two years study of Indian music
Miss Frances Densmorc has prepared Tor
the bureau of ethnology a report on the
subject that covers 2e0 of the current
songs of the Chippewas. Miss Dens-
more is a student of music, and brought
to the study of barbara music as much
of the training in civilized music as 1t
was possible to acquire.
The study covers almost all the phases
of Indian life, war songs, love songs
and the innumerable songs and rhythns
used by the medicine societies in the
treatment of diseases
The apparent curious connection be-
tween some nervous ailments and the
rhythmic chants of sound of the medicine
songs was brought out partly by ex-
perments by some of Miss DeEsmofe's
friends, who tried the effects OF rhythm,
without attempt at music, in the cases OF
a number of young children. The theory
was that the mental development of civil
Hzed children from infancy upward was
more or less on plane with the mental
development of adults from The lower
stages of savagery through barbarism 10
the higher plains of civilization. il was
fairly proved in tic course of these eX-
periments that ba DieS and young chill
dren could he soothed by the HOMOGENEOUS
repetition of certain rhythms better than
by actual singing. ar
History of Songs Given. -
The report on tie Chippewa songs 10
considered more than mere study in
barbaric music. 1t tells of the history 1f
many of the songs. Some of them are
dream songs" the outcome of dreams
and visions of the composers. The words
as a rule are few, and would convey
only scanty impression to civilized
nearer. but each of the songs tells =
story. and this story is known 10 the
auditors, SO that the words are scarcely
more than shorthand notes OF the RENT
niscence.
Some of the songs are very old, and
are known on a number of reservations.
The monograph was brought into use
in recording and studying the music, and
some of the songs rendered in one To-
Ncality were easily recognized Icy the
Indians of another region, and faithfully
reproduced One of the curious laws
of this barbaric music was that while a
modern singer might write new words
to an old tune, it is little short of sac
rilege to NEEDLE with an established tune
itself.
Naturally, there is no system of writ
ten music among the Chippewas. but the
stories told by many Of the songs are pre-
served on birchbark with curious picture
writings that convey little impression II
an outsider, but that are graphic to the
initiated. Some of the melodies. while
simple, are very attractive. They are
decidedly different from some of the at
tempts at Indian music made by "a few
theatrical composers, and when played
with understanding on piano open
rather new field of musical composition.

Too much boosting often plays havoc
with promising young players.
Quite a few youngsters are spoiled by
overexertion on the part of well-meaning
press agents. The progress of others is
simply retarded by an overabundance OF
nice things said in their behalf.
Roasts are never relished by any one.
Criticisms are always we'll received by
an Intelligent athlete, and one who really
desires to advance in his profession. n
truthful criticism that points out a
players or umpire's fault does more good
than a bunch of dope that paints him as
the greatest ever.
The main objection to overboosting is
to expect too much of the younsster.
Naturally young player sees all the
glowing notices that are given him, and
he often feels that he must live up to
every word that has been written. Most
people take it for granted that every
thing they read is absolutely authentic,
and expect the newcomer to set the league
on fire on his initial appearance.
Ever since the origin Of base ball the
the stars of the time. Recently every
promising outfieider that has broken into
the leagues has been heralded as Il sec
end edition OF Cobb, or Speaker, or Leach,
or Magee. Every infeider is touted as
better than Lajoic. Wagner or Chase,
while the young pitchers are lkened unto
the great MatheWson, the wonderful
johnson or any of me many other crack
big league tWirlers.

Corridor Made Star Debut.

Late last summer youngster by the
name of Red Corridor joined the St
Louis Browns. He was an infielder and
had played with the Omaha team of the
Western League. st. Louis was going
badly at the time, and Corridor was
given chance to show the very day he
reported. He is u little chap, but he
looked bigger than Jack Johnson at the
close of his first game il the big league.
Corridor was used at shortstop, and he
put up a most phenomenal game. ST.
Louis fans have been used to seeing
high-class work in the short field. with
Bobby Wallace playing the position, bu,

over to the left field foul line and pull
down tall fly, while a moment later he
would go back into short left center and
grab tantalzng Texas Lacquer. He
accepted something like dozen chances,
over half of them difficult, in fautless

Fans Expect Great Things.

These wonderful advance notices as a
rule are dished up to the public in the
winter time, when diamond gossip is
rather scarce. The fans read all these
fIattering notices, and i'll a short time
they come to look upon the newly re-
cruited players as real wonders They
get the idea into their heads that the
new men will make good Immediately
upon their debut. Often young players
have the ability in the rough, but fail
10 show to advantage right off the reel.
The fan who has read SO much about
them in the winter is quick in forming an
opinion, and often the recruit is labeled
u failure without being given half a
chance.
1t is only natural that the much-touted
youngster should be affected by the many
wonderful things that have been said
about him. 1t is only natural that he
should think every eye i'll the big crowd
of $4,000 is fastened on him. 1t is only
natural that his work should be affected
by the feeling this gives him, no matter
how game he may be. Ambitious to sue
coed, he feels that he must do everything
successfully from the start. Because of
his earnestness to make good he often
tries SO hard that he throws himself Off
his stride, and is unable to do himself
justice. If the fan, who expects much
because of the work of the winter press
agent is quick to censure, it often hap
pens that the young player suffers a set
back from which he never RECEIVERS.

Their Attitude Toward Labor.

The following editorial from an ex-
change impresses the public with
the striking difference between the
attitudes OF Senator Scott and vii.
liam P. hubbard toward laborIng
men:
The significance of the vote in
Ohio and Marshall counties on the
senatorial question, where Senator
Scott obtained most convincing ma
jorities, is quite impressive. No
matter how well a man is known
abroad, he is better known at home
among his friends, and it is these
elements that are more competent to
judge because they are closer TO him
in social a@a business relations,
which are the rue tests of character.
In Ohio county Mr.. Scott and Mr..
Hubbard were Intimately connected
with Industrial establishments,
though of a different class, but OF
equal Importance 10 the prosperity
of the community. 1t was these re-
lations that put to the test the labor
record of both candidates for the
Senate. The test was more severely
applied to Mr.. Scott on account OF
his closer contact with the working
men in managerial capacity con
nccted with the direction Of the af-
fairs of the Central Glass works OF
Wheeling, If-Mr. SCOTS professions

labnrinG classes had been faulty thev

and their support of his candidacy

that in the delicate adjustment OF

not been found wanting. With him

Party Loyalty and IIeadcrshlp.'

- is A4t y Y
/ Party loyalty Is admirable in a
member OF the rank and file Ola po-
litieal party. Party loyalty Is ne
cessity for successful leadership.
No man is suitable for party lead
ershlp, who does not cleaye to his
party and its principles at ali times,
No man can he "a true party leader,
who votes against the party's nomi-
nees.
Republican arty leaders should
ever be men who support and vote
the Republican ticket. A man can
not attain to Republican leadership
and command the influence leader
always has, II year in and year out
he is found opposing the party's
nominees, except when 1t pleases him
to support them.
Fo- instance, a county chairman,
who votes the Republican congress
sional ticket and the Democratic
county ticket, has no influence as
party leader. indeed. he is un-
worthy the name of party, leader.
Also. men attaining leadership, who
vote the Democratic county ticket
and the city Republican ticket, have
no right TO be hon6red as party lead
crs. The principle applies with
equal force to both the Republican
and Democratic parties, wherever
the betrayal of party trust prevails.
AS Illustrations of party perhdy.
the last several city elections are
pointed out. Every year there was
a Republican ticket in the field, but
some who would pose as party lead
ers always found pretext of some
kind to work and vote against the
Republican party's nominees. ltI
was not a matter of principle as Isl
shown by the fact that last year op-
posing tickets were not antl-license
while this year the opposing ticket
professed to be anti-license. Both
years these would-be party leaders
were found lined up with the oppos-
ing side. and this fact shows they
did not take principles into consider
alton. What then was their mo-
tive? 1t must have been to cripple
the Republican party to the extent
of giving them an opportunity toI
further their own selfish ends. ItI
could not have been to entrench the
Republican party more strongly.
When you hear man reply when
ne is asked how he is going to vote
Il am a Republican" you can count
on it he is a Republican all the
time. This is the type of men WHO
build up and keep great the Re-
publican party, which has made the
nation the greatest on earth.
Men who aspire to Republican
party leadership and refuse TO abide
by what Il am a Republican, i'm
plies are not entitled to any such
high consideration and the rank and
file should have no patience with
them, as they are not to be trusted.

\ r.
The last many years both the Re-

ally selected legislative nominees
SO as to have both city and country
districts represented in the person-
mel that is, one nominee resided in
the city and the other in the coua-

This year the Republicans nave an
opportunity to go step farther in
this respect. They have not only
the opportunity to have legislative
