Chicago. Dec. 9.-Selection of a

about Wednesday OF next week, in

Former Judge John Barton Payne

ORGAN AND SONG CONCERT
Enjoyable Musical Evening at the
Baptist Church

The First Baptist church auditori-
UNI was filled last night with a
large and appreciatiye audience of
music lovers. DR.. Shelley was at the
organ and Miss Edith Magee sang,
and both were roundly applauded for
their charming selections.
Beginning the evening with Rats
Marche "Tenore," DR.. Shelley carried
his hearers through FALL the pleasing
and varied effects that skilled genius
is capable OF producing upon a pipe
organ. Especially in the shorter com
positions, some written by himself
and some by Hoffman, and in his ac.
compartments of Miss Magee, did DR..
Shelley delight his audience. The
0ag-pipe effect in the accountant.
ment OF the Scotch songs was partic-
ularly realistic
Special mention should be made of
the Largo from Dvoraks New World
Symphony" and Bizet's Fantasia from
carmen with which DR.. Shelley
closed the program. These two mum.
Ders undoubtedly represent high
water mark in their class of compo,
sition and were superbly rendered.

praise cannot be given. Her render.

Democratic Doctrine

The doctrine of equal rights should
be made living, vital, controlling
force in government. This doctrine
opposes the privileges OF subsidies,
bounties and all forms of govern
mental favor to few at the burden
of all. The government has no more
right to take from one man indirectly
tor add to the wealth Of another than
it has to compel one man directly to
Contribute to the fortune of another.
When such favors benefit all alike, no
one would want them. 1t is because
they give class privileges denied to
the other that the few clamor for
them, and it is for this reaon that the
rest of the people should not submit
to such determinations AS privi-
leges increase opportunity must di-
minish and as opportunity diminishes
the rights of the individual are de-
stroyed- That is the reason why, I'M
deer the republican system, the mass
ees are finding the opportunity for
individual effort growing less as the
years go by.-Joseph w. Folk, in
The Ccmmoner.
