TAFT OBJECTED TO THE
BARBAROUS COLLEGE YELL

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, October %.
President Taft today gave the young
man and young woman students of the
University of Minnesota something to
think about. For fifteen minutes he
spoke to them in a most serious vein.
The president had been greeted with
the usual college yells and had wit
messed the gyrations of the cheer
leaders.
81 suppose it is necessary to keep
up these baTbaric yells,' said the presi-
dent, land that it is necessary for the
leaders to go through the contortions
we have just witnessed in order to
evoke the real college spirit They
were not necessary thirty or forty
years ago, when it seems to me we
got along with a good deal more grace

President Taft declared that it was
well that most university men face
the world without money.
There is no burden, no obstacle
more difficult to overcome" he said
than an income that enables you to
live without working. You do not
seem enthusiastic over that statement,

the other way, but l give you the re-

A FOUR BILLION INDUSTRY
CAME OF MECHANICS MISTAKE

At the Vienna exposition in 1873
there occurred one of the most for
tunate accidents recorded in the his
tory of the material progress of the
world Several dynamos were being
set up there. One of them was al
ready in operation, and the workmen
on the job had just completed the in
stallation of another. One of the men
by mistake connected the second dy-
namo with the one that was in opera
ton TO his intense establishment the
second dynamo began to revolve in
the reverse direction He told his fell
low workmen what he had done, and
presently they were all marveling at
the curious phenomenon. Then the
men of science at the exposition heard
about it, and they came and marveled,
also.
That was the beginning of the de-
velopment of the electric railway, the
starting point of the largest of the
new ndustries-electric traction
which in this country today is capital
lied at approximately $4,O0O,0OO,0
For the electric railway motor is
practically nothing else but a dynamo,
which reyerses when the electric cur

tor, but it was not until that fact was
discovered that a motor having the
simplicity. compactness, strength and
durability to make it adaptable to the
severe strain of ordinary railway SER
vice could be constructed.
So new is this industry of electric
traction, in spite of the enormous pro-
portions it has attained today, that
nearly all of the men who are conspic-
uously identified with its development,
either on the mechanical or the COM
mercial side, are still active in affairs.
Twenty-Five years ago there was not a
mile of electric track in existence any
where. In this country there are to-
day $4,000 miles of electric railway
ated $4,000 cars. The electric railway
companies have an annual income of
approximately $440,OO0OOO, and have
100000 employees on their salary lists.
They carry 1O,O0O.OOO,O0 passengers
a year. Beginning merely as a sub
stitute for the old horse car, the cleo
trio railway is today competitor of

NEVER WAS SUCH A
FEAST OF MUSIC BEFORE

| Perhaps the most fascinating pro-
gram ever given at Woolsey hall will
be that for the recital in which Nine.
| Louise Homer of the Metropolitan
! opera House and Mischa E1man, the
greatest living violinist, will share in
| giving. The two wonderful artists to
begin with would be fascinating in
whatever they chose to give. but they
have planned a program of beautiful
novelties, a program that will give a
perfect feast of music on the evening
of Friday, May u. Seats for the con-
ert Sons Co., this city. The pro-
gram:
To begin with Nine Homer is to
sing two of Dr. Horatio Parker's
songs, one Together, of which was
written at Blue Hills, Me-, in the same
summer that the opera Mona was
written, the work that won for the
prize offered by the Metropolitan
Opera Company. and which work will
be produced by the Metropolitan next
season.
Then the great opera singer will be
heard in an aria from Gluck's "Orfeo"
the opera in which she won her high
est triumphs at the Metropolitan, in
which opera she was cast for the
heroine.
Nine Homer will sing three beautf-
full Russian songs. one by Balakirew
and two by Rachmaninoff. There will
be a group of four songs by American
composers. that of Horatio Parker, al
ready mentioned. two by Sidney HON.
er, Nine. Homer's husband. and one
by Kurt SCHNEIDER. the Hungarian
composer and conductor of the Mac
Dowell Club of New York.

uett; the melodious Meditation from
