scHARwENkA COMES TO FARGO.
Will Honor This City With a Visit
Dec, 49,, in Artists Course.

49, -
The announcement that the famous
Xaver S~CharWenka Of Berlin is to APP
pear in Fargo Is the third number of
the artists recital course, Monday,
Dec. 16, has aroused interest in Fargo
and vicinity. Scharwenka is one Of
the foremost musical personalities in
the world today, as a pianist, compos-
er and instructor. He occupies an en-
Viable position in the German metrop-
oils, and his home in that city is a
place of rendezvous for all of the great
local musical celebrities and for fam
Gus artists when passing through Ber-
lin. SCharwenka's genial personality
has always won for him friends
among the great mes of the art world.
In the past, such men as Franz List,
Anton Rubinstein and Johannes
Brahms, were intimate friends of his.
Scharwenka is one of the few great
living pianists who have contributed
valuable additions to musical litera-
ture. His opera, Mataswintha, has
been successfully performed in Ber-
lin, Weimar and New York. His G
minor symphony and numerous cham
Der music works and lieder have
found wide recognition, but it is as
a composer for the piano hat Schar-
wenka. most interests us. Aside from
numerous smaller works for the in
Strument, he has written four piano
concertos and his performance of his
latest one, No. 4, in F minor, op. 80,
will be one of the great and distinct
i've features of his forthcoming tour,
and, indeed, of the musical season of
191O-11; for the appearance of. such
a famous artist and marked persona1i-
ty as Xaver SCharwenka cannot fail
to interest all lovers Of piano music.
He will play the novelty with all Of
the leading orchestra societies.
OF course, he will be called upon to
play his famous Polish Dance and it
will probably feature as an encore in
all of his concerts, for what matinee
girl o. piano student will not want to
hear this celebrated piece played by
the composer himself?
ZaVer S~charwenka was born in the
little town of Samter, Jan. 6, 1850. He
first studied music in Posen and at
the age of Is he entered the KuIlak
Piano academy in Berlin, studying
piano under Kullak himself and com
positions under Wuerst.

the yearly holiday offering for the
children. In New York the production
was made on a lavish scale by the
New theatre directors; it ran there for
a year, and returned for a second
eason to equally triumphant success.
The difficulties of it's road production
are many; but by confining the book
ings to the largest cities and allow
ing a whole day in advance for the
setting of the complicated scenery, it
has been found practicable to present
the complete New theatre production
on tour. 1t will be seen here, there
fore, with all the original scenery and
effects and the entire big cast of 100
metropolitan players.

DEFECTIVE SIGHT.

We may be dull of comprehension
and likely we are, but honestly, we
see no difference between Lorimer
and Roosevelt Lorimer was kicked
out of the senate because a great
deal of money was used to elect
him, and yet he denies any knowl-
edge Of it. Roosevelt admits that
the committee got a great deal Of
money, but he says he did not know
it at the time. We cannot see any
difference between Roosevelt and
Lorimer except that Lorimer's
friends used a lot of money and he
says he knew nothing about it and
Roosevelt's friends used vast sums
and he did not know it either
Washington Democrat.
The Democrat is not the only pa
per in Iowa whose moral perception
is such that 1t can see no difference
in the cases cited. The Des Moines
Capital is in the same boat. Possib-
" the Democrat can see no harm in
Thomas F. Ryan's contribution of
S45O,0OO to the democratic cam
paign fund of 1904, while the con-
tribution Of J. p Morgan of $780,
900 to the republican fund of
that year looks like an out
rage. Both Roosevelt and Parker,
the opposing presidential candidates
in 1904, diselaim knowledge of
those contributions and the Free
man-Tribune believes both are tel
ling the truth. Lorimer was not un-
seated because money was expended
in his behalf But he was unseated
because 1t was proven that legisla-
tors had been bribed. The republic
cans OF Illinois had nominated at
the primaries another man for SEN
ator, yet Lorimer was elected by the
legislature and by the votes of men
who sold out their constituency.
There was never any charge of brib-
cry in the election OF Roosevelt and

LESSON FROM PANAMA.

Success having crowned our eff
forts to solve the knotty problems
of making Panama a livable spot
and of constructing a ship canal
across it, Americans are beginning
to ask why we should not get the
benefit OF some of this skill at home.
If the pestilential swamps Of the
tropics can be cleared of mosquitoes,
why should disease breeding regions
be allowed in the United States?
And If the raging Chagres river
the bette noir of previous canal pro-
iectors-has been turned into a
quiet lake and made to keep with
in safe boundaries, why should
floods in our own great streams des-
troy millions of dollars worth of
our hard-earned property? AS a
matter of fact, the success of our
work with the Chagres has been
setting river engineers to thinking.
Times-Journal.
Theodore Roosevelt made it pos
sible to accomplish these things in
the canal zone. For fifty years con-
gress had been debating the ques-
ton and would have kept at It for
another fifty years II man had
not secured q seat In the white
house who does things. Roosevelt
started the machinery and see the
results now. He has promised, II
elected president again, to take the
machinery used in the construction
of the Panama canal and fix the
Mississippi river and if there is any
man in the country who can and
will do such a thing that man is
Theodore Roosevelt. Give him a
chance.

SOUND ADVICE.

Nevada Representative: And the
truth, as we are able to gather it.
is that there is in the country
great contest, complicated and un-
certain, between Wilson and Roose-
welt, with Taft bad third in the,
most of the states where results are
at all important, and that of all the
important and doubtful states there
is none where conditions are more
mixed than they are in Iowa. But
bad as the conditions here are, there
is no reason why, If the protection
list who has an idea of throwing his
vote away on an impossibility or Of
voting for free trader will consH-
err seriously his responsibility at a1y
time before he votes, there may nd
be expected lineup for Roosevelt
that will overcome any small adj
vantage that Wilson may now faves
here in the political guessing.l A.
great deal depends on the wal in l
which the men of republican coHic-
tion in counties like Story pail
take hold of the problem. II hey
shall merely mince with 1t toEhe
end, they are liable to find NE
weight OF Iowa thrown--perlp Ups
decisively-for democratic psf
dent to go with democratic Sn-
gress. and the two to bring ina

ocratic policies generally. Buff
they shall get into the game al

crushing force so often seen and

ment and patriotic instinct must !

welt drinks to excess. Not only is
Roosevelt temperance man so far
as drinking liquor is concerned, but
he is also temperate as regards the
use OF tobacco. Here is what the
physicians who are attending the
ex-president posted in one of the
bulletins last week:
1--WE find him in magnificent
physical condition, due to his regu-
lar physical exercise and his habitu
al abstention from tobacco and
liquor"
Men who appreciate the vigor and
industry of Roosevelt know that he
could not drink to excess and keep
the dynamo running as he does. His
capacity for work exceeds that of
any man in the country and it would
simply be a physical impossibility
for him to do as he does If he were
what is understood as a drinking
man. The doctors say he even alb
stains from the use of tobacco. OF
course this signed statement on the
part of eminent physicians will
make no difference with the conspir-
ators who have started to crush
Roosevelt and assassinate his char
acter, but there is no longer excuse
for anybody to be deceived in this
matter.
