MAScAGM TODAY
F0RTf-[|GHT,, MANY
HONOR COMPOSER
Author of "Cayalleria Rus
ticana" in Quiet of Home
in Italy.

The strains Of the famous intermezzc
Of "Cavalleria Rusticana" and the other
music Of the perennially popular and
appreciated grand opera are ringing out
today in Washington, and throughout
the world. with special significance.
This Is the forty-eighth birthday Of
Pietro Mascagni. composer OF this and
many other musical classics.
Although born in Italy and living In
his native city Of Leghorn. Msscagni Is
personally known In the United States
through the visits he has made to this
country to conduct productions Of his
music. 1t was he who brought eight
dozens of Numbered dress shirts from
Italy to New York because he Thought
America so .barbaric" that good laun-
dries would be unknown here.
Mascagnfs career as composer began
soon after he had persuaded his father.
a baker, to allow him 10 take up music
instead of law. In 1881. Mascagni, eight
cen years old. composed an operetta.
Shortly after this he composed an Ave
Maria" and '.Pater Noster'' thatwon for
him first prize in the Milan Conserva-
toire. where he received his musical
training. Last year a new grand opera,
"Ysobel," of Mascagnrs composition.
was produced in this country, and the
call was sent across TO Italy for the
composer himself to come over and su-
perintend the production.
Mascagnfs ''Cavalleria" Is sung by
professionals and amateurs wherever
Italian, English, German, French or
Russian Is spoken. The intermezzo
peals out from the street pianos and
hand-organs of all nations. But neither
this passage nor the opera itself shows
signs of palling, and musical critics
agree that Mascagnl, as he today cele-
brates the anniversary Of his birth on
September I, 1863, stands rated as one Of
the worlds greatest modern composers.

Newspapers are sometimes made
the butt of ridicule in the ignorant
belief that exaggerat!on is their

stick closer and more consistently to

Fail to Economic

While the Telegram has not been
privileged to scrutinize the appro-
priation bill as finally passed by the
legislature, 1t believes it has SUI
ficient information to indict the
Democratic party on a charge of not
having kept its pledges as to econ
omy ii administering the affairs Of
the state. AS all remember Dem
ocratic speakers went all over the
state charging the Republican party
with extravaganza and most of the
Democratic newspapers daily set up
similar cry. In addition, these
speakers and newspapers pledged
the party to economy. Indeed, the
Democratic party In power was to
save the people hundreds of thous-
ands OF dollars.
But, what did it do? 1t clamored
against what it termed wholesale
office-holding. 1t promised to abol-
ish lot of unnecessary offices and
ofice-holders. The record OF the
legislature shows that its eibolish-

j. s -sN
senator-elect William E. chtlton's
home mouthpiece, the Charleston
Gazette, in speaking of the political
complexion of the State Senate, says
that body was composed of fifteen
Republicans, fourteen Democrats
and Bland"
Continuing edltoriany the Ga
zette makes significant attack on
Senator Bland as follows, indicative
of the fact that the combine newspa-
pers have been told to ruin everyone
who opposes the combine or shows
signs of not wearing the yoke:
THE latter gentleman, Ereferring
to Blandl, imagines that he is what
Teddy takes Roosevelt to be, and
therefore he has neither respect for
nor pays allegiance to any rule, pre-
cept, tradition, convention, caucus
or agreement ,of the party's repre-
.sentatives. How in the name Of
common sense he ever reconciled
his position in the Senate with the
fact that. he ever got in the Senate
at all is one of the unsolved mys-
teries. That he was elected shows
that party fealty was strong in his
district. without a nomination aad
strong party feeling, he could not
have gone to the Senate from any
district in the state, and yet he par
'ticipated in a caucus and Dolted it,
'1He took part in other secret eau
cuses with his Democratic COL
leagues. and gave the most solemn
promises to abide by the result; and
yet, without warming, he voted
against the course agreed upon in
the caucus. Such man does no
party any good. He serves only to
fix responsibility upon his party, and
fails to stand for party action. He
was failure as a Democrat and a
sore disappointment to the party. III
the Democrats of his district believe
in party responsibility, a lecture is
due from them to Senator Bland
a man either too good for his party
or else he is not Democrat at all.
In either event, he is out of place
or out of tune"
This attack on Bland was pub
lished the same day that the Fair
mont mouthpiece OF the Chiffon
combine warned Democratic editors
not to persist in their attacks on thel
leaders of the party. 1t is evident
from the coincidence" that the
combine newspapers are the only
ones authorized by the bosses tol
make attacks.

Condemned Again.

The following information cer-
tainly condemns the Democratic
party again for its antlpathy to the
state tax department, although the
Ielegr9m.,i is not SO upkind as to sug-
gest that some of those who essayed
during recent months to promulgate
Democratic doctrine had a personal
or selfish motive in decrylng the ex-
istepce of the department:
"The. sum of $23.G1711 has been
collected by the tax department as
Inheritance taxes during the month
Of February. which is approximately
one-half as much as was collected
in the seventeen years before the
collection OF this tax was placed in
the hands of the tax commissioner.
And had the tax commissioners Of
fee been abolished the amount OF
inheritance tax collected hereafter
would have been OH a par with what
was done under the old system. The
largest amount collected during the
month came from the estate of
George Miller, of Huntington, which
paid nearly $4,000. while the next
alargest was from the estate OF Mary
r.. Goff, of Clarksburg. whose ex-
ecutor paid a total of $7,SOS.36.
The amount collected for inherit
ance taxes during the month of Feb
ruary aggregates almost as much
as was appropriated by the legisla-
ture for the conduct of the tax de-
partment and the uniform account
ing system combined for the year
1911. The amount for the two was
$26, 900. reduction OF $4,000 over
the amount Appropriated two years
ago.

Credit for RepuB icnns.


I'm attempting to defend the record
OF the Democrats during the late
session OF the legislature, the Wheel
ing Register notes that some legisla-
ton was defeated on account of the
equal political division of the Sem
ate. The inference is that the Re-
publicans were responsible. Then
says the Register gleefully:
There is criticism from other
Republican newspapers because OF
the small number of bills passed.
The slang axiom that every knock
is a boost applies to comments OF
that nature. The legislature of
1911 made even better record in
bills rejected than in bills passed.
About one bill in seven that was
dumped into the legislative hopper
came out law. Generally speak
ing. that IS a very satisfactory pro-
portion, If the measures for adop-
tion are wisely chosen. The people
who are least governed are best gov
erned. We already have too many
laws, and the. thanks Of the people
are due to the legislature for not
placing more. on the statute books. :"
Ergo, If the Republicans brought
all this about they are to be heartily
eommended FOR their patriotic de-
yoeipn to duty ISL

cantly from the viewpoint Of econ
omy that the saving Is q mere drop

ted by all progressive citizens that
such abolishment will work harm
to the state OF a magnitude many
times greater in value than the

IA very sensible article by John
Bond, a newspaper correspondent on
..he. scene, in which Is summed up,
Just how little the Democratic party
did along the line Of economy, and
containing some figures showing
in fact that the democrats have pro-
Yided for the expenditure of many
thousands Of dollars more to run
he state government than was APP
propriated by the Republicans two
years ago for the same purpose, is
as follows and it certainly makes
even Democrats open their eyes:
Whatever economy might have
been promised by the Democrats in
the recent campaign and whatever
Growing they might do over the re-
cent session of the legislature rela-
tive to cutting down general ex-
penses, the general appropriation bill.
which was not presented to Gov
ernor Glasscock until both houses
adjourned, and it was therefore too
late for him to veto any OF the
items, does not show where the
economy enters. With all the
boosting on the part of the Demo-
tcrats that they would cut down ex-
lpenses, and Notwithstanding the at
tack made by such Democratic
Headers as Senator EMaeCorkle in
cutting the salaries OF state house
ianitors from $3.50 to $4,000 per
month, the general appropriation
bin for the year 1911 carries nearly
$4,000 more than did the bill
passed two years ago for 1909.
"At every session the appropria-
ton bill carries various miseclla-
neous appropriations principally
payable the first year, so that the
total appropriation for the first year
is naturally greater than that for
the second year. Taking the first
years of the last two appropriations
as a basis, the total figures of the
general appropriation bills are as
follows:
Total for year 1911 .$1'6665S66.S2
Total for year 1909. a,628;25S.41
