MUSIC
The Oratorlo SoCiety's Concert.

There is little idealsm in musical COM
position in this latter day: less in musical
performances before the public. A COM
poser still occasionally pursues his ideals
even though he knows that his manuscript
Is likely TO be shut up forever-hrst in his
desk, then his closet and eventually his
garrett out ne calculates the cost 10 him
SELF and If he is made OF the right stun
ne pays II In and lives on contentedly in
mis- dreams. But when a concert institu-
ton undertakes a work Of pure idealisn II
means large expenditure of work for
every individual concerned in the perform
ance' an equally large disappointment
caused by popular Indifference and a cor
responding draft on an exchequer which is
never plethoric. Whence. then. shall come
'he compensation which must be largely
sentimental? Only from the recognition
and gratitude of the knowing few. For
years the Oratorio Society and lis con-
ductor. DIT. Frank Damrosch fully cogni-
zant of the consequences. have,neveit heless
extraordinarily performed what they con-
ceive to he duty to art by bringing for
ward a great work in which the careless
public refuses 10 become interested.

Last night another work was added TO the

among the finest productions in its depart

accompanied mass for sixteen voices. The
Oratorio Society seems to have made It a
point Of honor TO sing this work at inter-
walls, and there could scarcely have been
finer exhibition Of devotion to an ideal
than the postponement Of tho performance
early in the season because the conductor
did not believe that his singers were pre-
pared to do the work Us il ought TO
be done. A confession Of incapacty many
must have thought-in fact an exhibition
Of honesty and ideality as admirable as

made one Of the bright pages In the his
tory Of the season. The noble beauty of
the music was superbly bodied forth, so
convincingly that despite its unwonted
character the audience could not but be
stirred into enthusiasm after every num-

The solo parts were sung by four So
pranos-Miss Laura Combs. Mrs. Edith
Chapman Goold. Mrs. Grace Northrup and
Miss Elizabeth Dodge; four cCnTaltos, Mrs.
Wander Veer Miller, Mrs Cara Sapln, Miss
Evelyn Fogs and Miss LillG Rooeson four
tenors, Frederick Gunster William Wheel

four BASES George A. Fleming, r. a.
jain. W. Worthington and Oyerton Moyle.
AS may have been guessed from earlier
remarks in this notice, the audience was
not commensurate In size with the dignity
and Importance Of the occasion, but 1t was
generous IN its show of appreciation, and
TO that extent rewarded the singers for
their fine zeal II. T. X

Morgan County republican. (Versailles, Mo.) 1906-1914, 1911-05-25

TILE financial statement of Morgan
County is out. but it seems to us, in
rather unsatisfactory shape. 1t pur-
ports to give the receipts and ex-
pcnditurcs of tie county for 1910.
We can find no receipts, except a
lump sum of 500, 060.S0 in balance
sheet. 1t is customary to give an
,tcmized statement of receipts as we'll
As expenditures, requiring but a small
space. We notice also that there
n,s only S7l9.5S expended on the
roads, $4,000 of that being for
graders. so il is no wonder we have
poor roads. Our n%eighboring coun-
tv of Moniteau paid her road over
,cers 3.66S.2 % alone. and for bridg-
e., bridge work, culvsr,s. &C., So
1863. ~, spending something like
$4,000 90 on roads and bridges.
Morgan County certainly needs a
road fund, and with it there might be
a show for better roads. The court
held thirteen sessions, at a cost to the
taxpayers of SGS2.S so, and it may be
it earned the money. Barnard < Co.
got S663.41 for stationery, a neat
sum for the wear. The salary cx-
pense Is SG.2T9.Sl. about one-tnird
OF the total expenditures. Pretty
heavy cost, VIXEN you consider that
the circuit clerk and recorder, pre-
bate Judge, sheriff, public admins
traitor and county clerk are paid in
great part by fees. which are addition
al. and would swell the salary &C
count a good many dollars. There
should be a less waStelul way of con-
dncting business. and we believe the
commission form OF government will
help to solve the problem, and give
the taxpayers something for their
'm~oney--if they are getting anything
