The Lntr GHstnv MahIer

Musical journals and many of the dailies in this country and Europe have
 paid glowing tributes to Gustav Mahler,
 conductor and composer, who died re- gently in Vienna. He accepted the lead ship of the New York Philharmonic or chestra in 1909 and held that position
 until he became i'll a few months ago.
 In Gustav Mahle's death" says the Musical Courier, music loses one of it's most potent and picturesque figures potent because Mahler undoubtedly was ore of the best opera tic and orchestral conductors of the past two decades, and picturesque because he composed sym
 phonies of unusual form and content, and possessed a personality of such fierce that, although he seemed shy and reserved and almost taciturn by nature, nevertheless wherever his career lead him he at once became the center of discussion and controversy. Some men loved Mahler and others hated him, but no one connected in any way with him
 or his music could remain indifferent The little man with the piercing eyes,
 black shock of hair, strongly hooked
 nose and defiant carriage was a musical power not to be overlooked or ignored
 Born in Kalischt, Bohemia, July T, 1860, of Jewish parents. Gustav Mahler began to study music seriously at the age of 15, and four years later, after his graduation from the Vienna con servatory. started his large activity in
 the tonal art by accepting the director
 ship Of travelling company which per a1 afo " hp har ,,a interested in Wagner and after a visit tc Bayreuth, was engaged by Angelo Neumann as assistant to Anton Seidl at Prague. Triumphs with the baton followed for Mahler at Lespic, Ham,
 burg and Budapest, and when he left the last named city 1t was to take the first conductors stand at Hamburg, where he succeeded Niksch at the opera and Won Bulow as leader of the Phil-
 harmonic concerts.
 | Even in those days Mahler exhibited | the sturdy independence of character
 and that abhorrence of servility which later created so many enemies for him,
 who sought to throw difficulties in his way and hamper his artistic progress.
 One characteristic incident of his fear | Ter recommended the Berlin Royal
 opera to engage him just before he had
 signed to go to Hamburg. The inten-
 dant at the German capital who was
 said to be anti-Semitic, is reported to
 have replied: We cannot engage Nah
 Ter here, as we do not like the shape of | his nose When in 1897 Vienna of
 fered Mahler the directorial and mana :
 gsrial control of It's opera, Berlin sud
 denly awoke to the importance of the
 artist who was leaving Germany, and
 made him a proposition financially bet
 ter than one from Vienna. Mahler
 at once signed the contract to go to the
 banks of the Danube and telegraphed Berlin. Regret that l cannot accept.
 My nose still the same shape.
 ''Mahler's tenure of office at Vienna
 lasted ten years and gave him ample
 chance to develop ali his latent powers
 as musical artist of deep learning and wide versatility"

Tariff Politics

Tariff Politics "The caustic criticism of William J. Bryan of the proposed 50 per cent re- duction of the wool schedule by the dem ocratic members of the ways and means committee is il1-timed to say the least" said Percy Clark
 "As 8 loyal supporter of Mir Bryan as the democratic nominee for President, think I voice the sentiments of thou sands when I say that he loses the idea of the true democratic militant spirit when he assumes the autocratic self appointed role of dictator to those re- gently chosen by democrats to represent them in the matter of tariff legislation. Also the idea of something free seems to appeal more potently to MT. Bryan than the common sense proposition that 1t requires revenue and an enormous amount of 1t to carry on our system of government.
 "Our great industrial and agricultural interests cannot be violently shaken with. out all the people feeling it in the last analysis; the waves may not reach all the individuals of the body polite im- uieuldlciy put III d leW hlOhIhS ehcy assuredly will.
 Al great questions of policy and fund.- amental legislation and even constructive court decisions in this country have been compromises, save one, slavery and be- hold the revolution of four years war, It is true that the Dread Scott decision was a temporary buffer compromise in this matter.
 We have the tariff with its good and It's very bad features. In cutting out the cancer we must not kill the indi- vidual as 8 producer of wealth, whether merchant, manufacturer, laborer or farm CT Take the question of free wool out manufacturers millions of dollars In losses on goods in stock or material already purchased. Far better for 5-cent re- duction per pound now. and 1 cent year for five years, so that gradual adjust ment may take place.
 q see that that ardent admirer of Gro- yer Cleveland, Savoyard, and William J. Bryan are in one thing agreed at last That those democrats who show prac- tical common sense in dealing with the tariff on wool are damned. Well, if any body thinks that the Hon. Oscar Under wood doesn't truly represent the demo- crats of all Alabama on the question of tariff tinkering, let them pit a man against him for his seat in the House and mark my word, the people will put him in the Senate"

WHAT WILL BE DONE:

What will be the program Of the
special session of congress which
meets today? What will be done by
the gentlemen called together by
President Taft to act upon the meas
ures which he favors so ardently and
who will be likely to take up matters
not covered by the presidents i'm
mediate desires?
In due and formal order, practical
ly all the details of organization have
been arranged in advance. The SEN
ate, with it's reduced republican ma
jority, still has the right, and will ex-
ercise the power, of continuing men
of it's political following in places of
responsibility and emolument. The
house, of course, will make so clean
sweep of officials as the statutes
will permit.
With these matters of details well
in hand, it will remain for congress-
men to decide what they will attempt
to do. Will the reciprocity matter
be disposed of promptly, to be fol-
lowed by an early adjournment?
That, it is understood, would please
Mr.. Taft and would be very satisfac-
tory to many leaders of both parties
But, there is determination in
some influential quarters to take up
the whole tariff matter. In any
event. it is likely that strong
movement will be made in the line
of revision of the wool schedule.
