one Of the greatest affairs ever held

to be an important factor in making
the festival success, and every effort
to make the membership as large as
possible is being made.
Miss Lucille Corwin, second vice
president of the festival association
will be accompanist for the choral So
ciety The society will meet each
Thursday evening.
Rapid strides are being made each
week in the development OF the James
town orchestra which is under the lead
ership of Prof. F. w. Wimberly and it
is expected that in a short time the or
ganization will be prepared to give
concerts. The number of people who
practice regularly with the orchestra
is surprisingly large and several more
good musicians are expected to join
it soon. Professor Wimberly has re-

Clarence Eddy in Texas.

January 30, last, Clarence Eddy gave
an organ recital at San Antonio, Texas,
and of his appearance there The Daily
Express said: Clarence Eddy, su-
prene as the concert organist Of the
United States, appeared again in re-
cital in San Antonio last night after
an absence of several years. 1t was
a cultured and distinguished audience
that heard him at Temple Bethel.
His Interpretation of a programme
that might be termed popular to an
extent was brilliant, as are all Eddy
recitals. ..-
ANY criticism of Mr.. Eddy's playing
would be uncalled for. Long since was
he recognized as an unusual musician
and probably more versatile than any
organist in the world today. He is now,
and for years has been, an international
figure, Were he not so democratic in
his way, and so intensely human, it
is probable that his concerts would net
him just as much as Paderewski or
some of the other foreign celebrities
derive for an hour or two in concert.
But he is just Clarence Eddy, a good
substantial American whose worth has
in many instances been underestimated
by some Of the so-called musically in
clined."

The crand-vaudeviIIs.

The management of the Grand has
prepared a varied bill for the week Of
Monday, Feb. 81, for the delectation of
the many who take pleasure in attend
ing the performances at this popular
theatre. The Thos. P. Hoier Co. alone
is sufficient to make the programme
notable. 1t is one of those laughable
affairs full of comedy situations and is
said to be endowed with the virtue OF
making the most depressed person joy
Gus and happy.
Homer Denis, variety entertainer,
will be seen in his eccentricities of
various varieties which touch all the
funny departments of the arts of sing
ing, dancing and talking.
Another headline feature will be the
Five Juggling Normans, the worlds
greatest jugglers. This is the only act
in the world doing three high juggling
and their act is said to be exceptional
and sensational. They promise several
novelties in their peculiar field.
Paulinetti & Piquo will be seen in a
unique comedy conception introducing
the Mysterious Big Lady. They are
billed in as eccentric comedians who
are different and their act will lend
gaiety to the bill
Camagraph pictures Of a new va
riety open the bill and Miss Graham
will again be heard in the new illus
trated song.

EXCLUSION
President Taft Knows Inner Workings
Of Mind of orientaIs As Do
Few Others.

Duluth News Tribune: There never
has been a president OF the United
States who has as we'll understood
the inner workings of the far eastern
mind as does President Taft. No
other had the same opportunity to
study 1t at close range and in actual
touch.
Nor has any public man shown n
quicker, keener appreciation Of for
eign sentiment than has he, and no
other has had greater success In Dip
lomatic missions involving questions
Of great delicacy and Importance
For these reasons, as well as others.
we believe President Taft has acted
wisely and sensibly in negotiating a
treaty with Japan which does not
mention exclusion. Upon no other
question is Japan so sensitive. An ex-
clusion clause to the Japanese classes
them as interiors though, possibly as a
fact, their exclusion is demanded be-
cause in certain respects they are su-
perior.
This exception. the emitting Of
this provision, is the most striking
feature Of this new treaty. 1t is, also,
the feature that may cause its re-
lection, as the Pacific coast states are
most earnestly opposed TO the adnis-
sion Of the Japanese, and this question
is a sort of fre-brand there.
Yet it may be that their acceptance
Of this omission was a part Of the
consideration back of the designation
by congress OF San Francisco as the
location for the Panama canal expo
sition. Stranger things than this have
happened in politics. and worse uses
of influence.
Moreover the insertion Of any such
proviso is not essential. The right of
exclusion from residence or citizen
ship, or both, are fundamental with all
nations. 1t can be surrendered only by
formal and specific treaty stipulation.
Congress has the same right the
same authority to exclude the Japan
csc without a treaty provision to that
effect as with it. SO its omission is.
I'm fact, but a concession to Japan's
pride. 1t leaves to Japan the re-
sponsibility of keeping it's own sub
jects away from where it knows they
are not wanted.
This Japan has done for the past
year or more, more effectively than
our government was ever able to do.
Common courtesy, as between nations.
as well as dictates OF common sense.
viii continue this responsibility with
Japan, and we, therefore, believe the
treaty should be confirmed without
this clause.

schumann- Heink a Mother.

Madam Schumann- Heink is first of
all great mother and then great
singer. The Sehnsucht is sometimes so
strong that she flies back to her New
Jersey home just to have a peep at
her boys and girls. 1t happened not
long ago, she was singing in a far
western town, and finding that she had
two days and nights before another
concert, she hastily decided she would
take the train for home. She arrived
Unexpectedly in the dead of night and
could stay only few short hours, so
she reused the sleeping youngsters with
many fervent embraces and piled them
with many questions. Then after this
hurried visit she sped across the coun-
try reaching her destination just in
time, somewhat fatigued, but oh, so
much happier for having been, for a
short time at least, at the home hearth.
Schumann- Heink appears in Fargo
during the Musical festival, which the
Fargo Conservatory is giving the last
OF March.

REAT MUSICAL EVENTGI
Music Lovers Of Fargo and Vicinity

Fargoans are beginning to realize
the full importance of the great music
festival to be given in this city, March
80, 81 and April !, under the auspices
Of the Fargo Conservatory of Music
a department of Fargo college. with
out doubt this will be the largest un-
dertalSing of it's kind and the biggest
musical event ever attempted in North
Dakota. The programme begins to as
sumo a more definite shape and Mr..
Boehmer of the conservatory has it
out about as follows:
Friday afternoon will be heard the
full ST. Paul Symphony orchestra, as
sisted by the vocal soloists.
In the evening OF the same day
Madam Schumann- Heink will give a
song recital, assisted by Mrs. RATHER
ine Hoffman at the piano, and also
the orchestra.

ably chorus OF several hundred chill

Feb. 25-The Japanese Girl.
Mar. Sidney Drew.

The advance sale for The Japanese
Girl is very large and no doubt the s.
r. 0. sign will be hung out before the
curtain rings up on this beautiful oper-
eta, which will be presented at the
Fargo operahouse this evening. II will
be given for the benefit of Fargo COL
lege library, under the direction Of Miss
carol Stanley. The forty young ladies

That four missing teeth could keen

the pronounced hits Of the season. The
entire corps Of Gotham's dramatic
critics praised 1t in manner that in
dicated a long run for the play and the
prediction was fully verified, for it

moved to the Cort Theatre, Chicago,
where it kept them laughing all last
summer.
Billy deals with the adventures of
Billy Hargrave, who has lost his four
front teeth in football game and
which have been supplanted by false
incisors. Naturally Billy is in love with
a charming girl but he is loath to tell
her that he has lost some of his teeth.
All the parties to the play meet on
board a steamship bound to Havana
and when Billy misses his set of false
teeth, the complications that ensue are
of that rapid-fire order that keeps an
audience convulsed with laughter. I'm
able to speak clearly without his false
teeth, Billy purloins a set belonging to
his sweetheart's mother, and the fun
reigns fast and furious. Finally Billy

VINO delight in the art of raising laugh

The circus is familiar and standard
institution of American life. In the
country district its coming is eagerly
looked forward to as the one crowning
event Of the summer, and it's tented
held is the mecca to which pilgrims
come from near and far. And yet the
inner life of the circus is as little
known to those who bask in its tinsel
glitter and its tawdry pomp as the an
Gent life of the Etruscans might be.
Margaret Mayos tender little play,
Polly Of the Circus, permits glimpse
into the penetralia Of the circus. 1t is
through a window whose panes are
rose-tinted with romance but the at
mosphere of the sawdust ring and the
dressing tent is so well produced, and
her clever coadjutor, Frederic Thomp-
son, wizard of stage craft and effects,
that the romance and the sentiments
seem real and frateful.
The contrast between the life of the
circus where Polly has grown to girl
hood unspoiled in character but total
ly undeveloped save In her profession,
and the quiet cultured life of the young
minister's household serves to accen-
tuate the effect. The playwright too,
has known how to make use of the
narrow puritanism of the villagers and
their bitter prejudice, the more stub
born because of the ignorance from
which 1t springs, as an effective back
ground to a story. How the love of
Polly and the parson grew, how it led
each other into the path of betterment,

ton-There is little chance OF food
prices ever returning to the old low
standard, according to Willet NJ.
Hays, acting secretary of agriculture
To substantiate this he cites the fact
that only one-third of the total popu-
lation of the country is now producing
food for the remaining thirds
He says this will be shown by stats
tics to be issued soon by the census
bureau. Only two generations ago,
he said, thirds Of the population
were engaged in production. To this
remarkable reversal is the high cost
of living due.

how the accusing voices of scandal
came to interrupt and separate the
twain, how Polly went back to the
circus with sacrificial intent, and how
the parson found her there and declar-
ed his love-these are the items in a
pretty, conventional story. The re-
union OF the pair in the full glare of
the circus ring is sufficiently dramatic
to satiate the theatre-goers for thrills
and sufficiently poetic to please those
who believe true love should ever be
triumphant and happy when the final
curtain falls. Not little interest cen
tiers in the final emergence from her
childish chrysalis of George dip and
her treatment of the role which, while
calling for youth, still makes no small
emotional demand. 1t is known that
Miss dip has youth and the tradition
of stage bred family behind her. The
play will be seen at the Fargo opera
house in the near future.
