"Impressionism
and It's Relation to
Ultra Modern Music"

The Fine Arts sociey Of this city is
still rejoicing from the impetus OF new
thoughts and inspirations gained through
the lecture recital: "Impressionism and
Its Relations to Modern Music" presented
by Mr.. Henry +. Games last Tuesday
morning at the Young Womens Chris
tan association auditorium. In many
ways this able presentation OF two diff
ferent manifestations OF art marks the
highest point yet attained by the So
ciety in its program and policy of broad
art education. The lecturer, primarily
musician and concert pianist, Is well
known as an ardent and discriminating
student of the color art and has enjoyed
the greatest opportunities abroad for
pursuing this line Of study. He began by
suggesting the resemblance OF sound to
color and discussed the relation of the
vibrations, giving US available tones with
those which carry the spectrum colors
to the eye; the history OF the rise
Of impresslonsm in art and its
creeds and methods in art we're
described; the work OF Monet, Manet,
lie Sldanlr, sisley, Renolr. COrot was
emphasized and contrasted with the
Journalism OF Albertinelli and Ghirlandajo,
this latter phase IN art was paralleled IN
musical development by the writings OF
Rousseau, Bach. Mozart and Handel among
others, and Mr.. Earnes superbly played

LOCATING BIG CONVENTIONS

CONTINUED from Page One)
Democrats held their convention there in
1904 Missouri for the first time in over
a third OF a century, went republican.
The competition for the Republican con-
vention in 1908 lay between Kansas CITY
and Chicago, and had there been any as
surance that the electoral vote OF Mis-
souri, could have been thus coaxed ia
the ticket, the decision would certainly
have been reversed, because no one re-
garded Illinois as even debatable. Colo
RADIO, It is true, gave it's vote to the dem
ocratic ticket after the democratic con
vention had been held in Denver, but the
relation OF cause and effect is uncer-
tain, since II merely renewed allegiance
to the leader OF its lost free silver bat
tie. Where the nominating conventions
OF all the great parties are brought to the
same city it goes almost without saying
that they would naturally neutraIze one
another, so far as appreciation and reci-
procity in the form of gratitude votes
are concerned.
When it comes TO locating the big ma
tional nominating conventions for 1912
/ believe 1 am quite safe in saying the
CuOlCo u CUES Will De WnOlly on lne
basis OF relative ability to take care OF
the visitors, What / mean is that the
locations will not be put up as at Ruc-
ton to the highest bidder, nor will the
essentials of accessibility, hotel facilities
and suitable meeting hail be sacrificed
for minor or collateral considerations.
Arranging for the national convention of
a great political party has come to be
a straight-out business proposition; the
desire is TO get the work OF the conven-
ton done amidst proper surroundings
without needless interruption and with
due regard to the comfort convenience
and pocketbooks Of delegates, guests and
visitors. The convention is the first gun
| in the presidential campaign, and the de
sire to start right is no less in politics
/ than Il is In business,

examples OF this objective and impersonsl
music Impressionism: THAT school OF
art expression which paints whether In
color or tone) with atmosphere as its
subject and the creation and mtcnsifying
Of moods as It's supreme object. This
school as It is eNempnfled In music by
such men as Satek, Debussy, .Ravel
Crowley and others. was then reviewed
as to its methods and aims and placed
in such a relation to color impressionism
as to show the same physical origin in
both The same trend OF appeal to mans
spiritual and subjective side; the same
spiritual and subjective side, the
same necessity Of standing not too
but OF allowing the colors OF both to fuse
and to an extent blurr the formal design.
The half yelled and fantastic beauties Of
musical impressions by Dcbussy and
Crowley were caught and delightfully."-
played by the lecturer with the greatest
sympathy and finish as were his very
contrasting examples OF modern musical
realism from Strauss "Elecktra" ana
Debussys "Pellas and Melisaude.' Ills
illustrations closed with an example OF
Russian music impressionism, prelude In
&c sharp minor by Ranchmaninoff, In
which Oriental coloring and eXoctic tone
combinations were brought out in their
full richness. The society and its guests
were never more earnest listeners and
certainly never more enthusiastic and II
was apparent that MIR. Games felt and
appreciated their attitude. Art and
music lovers should not stand as isolated
groups, but all should become lovers OF
beauty" and students in every channel
through which beauty is conveyed and
the society feels that in this exposition
of tho resemblances between our two
greatest arts something definite has beer
done toward broadening aesthetic inter

Five Reasons Why Woman Gets Glad Hand

Mrs. Hattie Moore Mitchell, professor of
mythology at Drake university. and
the only Des Moines woman enjoying Che
distinction Of being mentioned in who's
who" has deduced five reasons why the
world will give a woman the glad hand.
Strange TO say, though an educator her
self there is nothing about intellectually
among these; though she is a public
speaker of note and an authority on
economics there is not a single reason
touching on women's suffrage. They arc
practically all heart reasons.
Mrs. Mitchell has been given the Clad
hand herself, there being a greater de-
mand than she can supply with her
spare time from her college duties, to
address public gatherings throughout the
United States. She has a little girl, 3
years old, whom she proposes to raise so
the world viii give her the glad hand,
too. She has photographed her little
daughters hand and on every finger Of
the picture has inscribed one OF the
five reasons why the world will give
her the glad hand When she rather
informally took this for a subject for a
lecture, she was called back for the fifth
time and was given an ovation.
These are the reasons, she says, why
the world gave the woman the glad
hand:
She wasn't forever complainin'.
She was on time and did her work well
She was sympathetic but sensible.
She was mighty good to her home folks.
Somehow you forgot she was so homely.

Women who bear children and re-
main healthy are those who prepare
their systems in advance of baby's
coming. Unless the mother aids
nature in its prenatal work the crisis
finds her system unequal to the dc

and no expectant mother should fail

nature is expanding, prevents numb

there never is any ChurCh notice OF any
kind in the music column It Is no use
trying to make them interested. This Is
deplorablc but the people can easily get
their church notices in the paper If they
take the trouble.
While on the subject it might be well
to state that individuals and orsaniza-
tions which send every week some
sketches of their work do not always get
space, and the result is that the musical
editor gets blamed. The cheerful way in
which some local musicians contribute
weekly items of gossip about their bust
ness would make a dyspeptic person
! CLEAN with laughter. What they expect
| in the way OF space, what they think the
! advertising columns of The Bee are for,
| Is a mystery. or course their contribu-
| tons are frequently thrown out, and
what is the result? Terrible atrocity OF
the musical editor. Wicked jealousy OF
the music editor, and so on.
! Just last week a friend Of this depart
ment Brought to the musical editor g
notice a charge that certain people were
being sighted in this column. We took
said friend into the business office, took
down the files, made comparative ex-
animation, with the result that the said

Selnshness shows Itself in many ways
10 a musical editor on account OF the
sensltiveness of the average musician
Musicians are sensitive, they have to
be: and that is all right. 1t is a mistake
to use that word in such a sense as to
imply that if one IS sensitive one is to
be treated with a certain amount of con-
tempt. A plate which is not sensitive
Is not much good to the photographer.
Ask Louis Bostwick and he will tell you
that a sensitive plate or film is one that
is saturated with silver bromide, and
that silver bromide is the most sensitive
thing in the world.
We should be careful how we use that
word sensitive. What would the world
be without photography? And what
would photography be without silver
bromide? And silver bromide, says
Louis, is the most sensitive thing in the
WOrlu.
Don't we often say, "Oh, she's sensi-
tive" when we really mean she's too
sensitive" To be sensitive is virtue.
To be too sensitive is virtue perverted
into a vice.
Cheer up, you musical people who have
been called sensitive. DO you know that
II you look up the word sensitive in
Mr.. Webster's dictionary, you will find
this:-see SENSE. Having sense or feel

How do you like that suggestion? II
you are sensitive you have sense II
you are sensitive, you have feeling. II
you are not sensitive,-now look out-you
have not sense. If you are not sensitive
you have not feeling. Can we escape the
Inference? If sensitive means having
sense: then surely mot sensitive mcani

HOUSE DEMOCRATS
PLAN PROGRAMME
Ways and Means Committee
Soon to Strike Snags.

4 legislative programme to guide the
Democrats of the House in the prospec-
tive special session is now under consid-
Grafton by the Democratic Committee on
Ways and Means. which will act as a
sort of steering committee in the new
Congress. Conservative members of the
committee. among them Representatives
Brantley, of Georgia, and Hammond, OF
Minnesota. are understood to take the
position that in the event of a special
session the Democrats should limit their
activities to measures relating to the
tariff This course is said to be urged
by Representative Underwood. of Ala
hama, who will be the majority leader IN
the next House.
Differences have developed among the
committeeman over this question. Such
radicals as Representative Ollie James,
Of Kentucky. want to throw the doors
wide open. admitting for consideration
bills proposing general legislation, as well
as resolutions of inquiry into the execu-
tive departments. designed to show up al
legged Republican extravaganza in ad-
ministcring the affairs of government
The Democratic leaders. believing that
an extra session is inevitable, are ear
nestIy discussing the legislative pro-
Eramme. Every effort will be made by
the conservatives, it is understood, to
keep the attention of the House confined
to tariff bills.
The subject will be discussed at a party
caucus, which will be called as soon as
the Presidential proclamation convening
Congress in special session is issued. A
decision as to the legislative programme
will be determined, of course. by the ma
jority of the Democrats acting in eau
