The Unreaiity Of Opera.

There are people who still COM
plain of the unrcality of opera, who
cannot subject themselves to it's IL
Msion. And, indeed, the illusion OF
opera breaks down if everything in 1t
is not kept at the same distance from
reality. In that world Of musical ex-
preston we must never be suddenly
lowered by any incongruous detail
into the ordinary world of prose.
Realism. the attempt to work upon
the emotions by complete illusion of
reality, is disastrous in opera. If the

ALMA-YPSl GAME

In strenuously fought game played
Friday at Ypsilanti, Alma nosed out the
speedy State Normal quintet. The lat
ter led for the first FIVE minutes, then
baskets were shot by Fraker and Kefgen,
Hooper adding timely one, and the
visiting team assumed the lead, holding
il safely throughout the remainder of
the game. The teachers made super
human efforts TO capture baskets; the
game became rough; but the whistle
blew with Alma the winner, the score
being 80 to 90.
Ypsi opened strong and swift. Rich

Alma had little teamwork at the start,
but suddenly they braced, fought back
and conquered. The first ten minutes
were the critical ones. The half ended
with the score 10 TO II, and this seven
point lead was never cut down. In the
second half, Alma played more of a de-
fensive game, as half the team we're
sick and playing beyond their strength.
The normal men fought strong, but even
after substitutions were made in the
Maroon and Cream lineup, they could
accomplish nothing. In the immortal
words of George Washington, I'VE put

To praise one Alma man more than
another is to do injustice, but it is not
out of place TO mention the fine work of

ON LELAND POWERS

Something of exceptional importance
in the educational as We'll as the enter
tanning events Of the college year will be
the appearance of that greatest Of Amer
lean impersonators, Leland Powers of
Boston, at the Realty opera house the
evening of February II. This evening
will be one of the rare times of the year,
one of the evenings which will leave
more than passing impression of a
pleasant hour or two spent in the ordi-
nary course of events. To hear Leland
Powers is to mark another worthy adj
vance in ones education. Thus it is not
alone to your desire for pleasure or to
spend an enjoyable evening, that Pro-
fessor Adams in bringing Mr.. Powers
here under the auspices of the college
oratorical association appeals, but it is
also to desire to hear the best, the
classic of approximations and to elevate
yourself above the hit-or-miss class. 1t
is only by the rarest kind of good fortune
that the impersonator could he secured
and therefore it behooves everyone who

can to take advantage of this unusual
opportunity:
Paul Pearson. critic for Talent has
written of Mr.. Powers.
1.-The art Of Leland Powers is that of
master. He has many imitators, but
have never heard his equal. He has
long been recognized as a standard by
which all similar work is judged, and the
highest compliment that can be paid any
other artist is to place him in the same
class with Leland Powers. The splendid
vigor of his work betokens the man of
clean mind, sincerity of purpose and the
keenest insight into character. These
qualities make his art enduring. 1t does
not so much matter that he is master of
the technique of his work; that alone
could not give him the place he holds.
His knowledge of life is abundant, his
humor true humor, and his pathos true
pathos. Caricature is never INDUCED,
and melodramatic effects in the story
are never permitted. He is not only
capable, but sincere. He seems utterly
unconscious OF his medium, so that the
results seem as natural as the many
types one meets on walk up Chestnut
Street or Broadway"

MUST DRAG THE ROADS.
The New Law Becomes Effective at
Once, Is the Opinion Of the At
torney General.

Road dragging work commences in
Iowa Immediately. Those who were
counting on having one year of moth
ing doing because they thought they
had discovered conflict in the law
will be disappointed.
Attorney General Cosson, in care,
fully prepared decision, completed
last week, decides that there is to be
no cessation in the road dragging
work for Iowa. This in answer to a
series of inquiries put to him by coun-
ty officials all over the states. He de-
cides that:
The 1 mill township road dragging
tax must be levied this year and be
available for use in 1912.
The township trustees ought to dis
trict the townships at once in regard
to road dragging.
Road dragging superintendent
should be appointed now and be got
to work Immediately.
The pay for road dragging this year
should come out of the regular road
funds the same as in the past few
years.
A township trustee cannot hold the
Office of supervisor of road dragging,
but one may be road supervisor and
superintendent of dragging at the
same time.
The township clerks ought to call
meetings of the township trustees at
once to have the 1 mill tax levy made
for use next year.
The legislature plainly intended that
there should be no hiatus in the road
dragging business and the fact that it
was provided in the law that the trus-
tees should at their April meeting levy
the special road dragging tax, and
the law did not go into effect until
five days after that time, will not az
feet the law. The bill made provision
for a special meeting to levy the tax
and this can be done now. AS for
paying for the road dragging this year
it can be done just as in the past and
before any special 1 mill levy was
thought of, for road dragging is gen
eral road and repair work and can be
paid for out of the regular funds for
road working In short it was the in
tent Of the legislature to have this
work go right along and fair inter-
probation of the new road dragging
law will make this plain.

brave respect the brave, attesting
thereby, that though we were once
enemies we are now friends. AS is
usual the great American classic,
"Lincoln's Gettysburg Address" should
be read at all Memorial day exercises.
The Sunday before Memorial day,
being May 2Sth, should be observed
by posts attending Divine service in
their respective localities, inviting all
patriotic societies to take part with
them.
Since last Memorial day at least one
thousand veterans have died in this

names are stricken from the active
rolls here, may we not feel assured
that they have been added to the
permanent rolls of those who never
