Offers Were Refused.

There were several people who offered,
but they were refused. and they have
rather passed out Of my mind"
why were they refused?"
You probably suspect why answered
Mr.. Mack. Il was at Denver at the
convention. and on the way home stopped
at Lincoln to talk with Mr.. Bryan. Mr..
Bryan then and later said that he did
not want contributions from corporations.
1t was his fight and his campaign, and
felt l should keep faith with him and not
accept any offer from corporation or
other source that was not desirable.

anything that would put him In the posi-

Mr. Mack added that after the cleo

tribution to pay the bills he had been
unable to pay because of lack OF funds.

Mr. Bryan's confidence by getting money

Mr. Mack told the committee that he
wanted to correct an impression that
only 25.0O0 persons contributed to the
campaign fund Of s629.OO0. He placed the
number. of contributors at about 1O0.Ooo

FORMATION OF MUSICAL TASTE.
No Music Withheld From the Young,
Influence of Sounds.

From Uncle Remus' Magazine.
In the pursuit Of education and amuse-
ment one encounters the restraining in
fluences Of a .still small voice." quite as
formidable here as in matters pertaining
TO ones religious precepts. Particularly
at the present time. when there are as
many '.ologies' and ''isms" in arts as in
religions, it requires some technical
knowledge to choose ones paths OF de-
yelopment and pleasures with a view to
the wholesomeness Of results obtatnable.
An atmosphere conducive to the growth
of ideas and ideals is the first requisite
for the development of a discriminating
ia ste in the art of music. Heresies and
schisms are just as common to music as
to gospel The time is not far distant
when the selection OF art types will de-
termine ones social position as we'll as
ones individual characterial development
in the scale of soul-progress.
By force of long-established customs we
forbid the student of literature to read
certain works until such time as he shall
have gained q discriminating knowledge
OF the affairs Of life, believing that such
reading is ruinous in suggestion to an un-
tried mind, but do we exercise the same
precaution against the doubly sensual in
fiuences of Egyptian rhythms, ragtime

Just as the painted landscape breathes

United States it's use has been limited to
the graphic presentation Of city plans,
park and country club projects. and

been used much more freely in working

ART OF REPRODUCTION.
Plan of Architects to Show Builders
What They Will Get.
From the Literary Digest.


How many of our readers can read
an architects blue print? How many.
when about to build a house, can tell
by examining the plans and elevations
with conscientious care exactly how
the edifice will look when finished? Ap-
parently the architects are not always
sure themselves. Some Of the most
eminent OF them. when erecting a
monumental building, have thought 1t
necessary TO put up considerable full
size sections of it in plaster to get the
effect-"To be abe to make now, be-
fore we begin," said one of them, the
changes that we should otherwise want
to make after we lad finished" This

While disease is contagious, neverthe-
less health is the general rule; SO 1t is
in music. Conditions are improved
through the association with works by
composers whose views OF life's emotions
are not regulated by cOmmercialisms ca
tering to popular fancy. but rather by the
expression OF the best moods and feelings
of mankind. The form in which a work
OF art is set Is of almost as great import
as the work itself. We know this in the
setting of q jewel. But again and again
we permit our music to be served to us
upon leaden plates or in short weight
packages with seeming indifference. The
forms in which the musical classics are
written were hundreds of years In the
development. 1t is not likely that they
will ever give permanent place to serious
variations since the structural order OF
these forms is expressive OF character
as the material in WI ich it bounds.
When TennysOn wrote, Flash, battle
AK and crash, Brandt not only did he
choose well the text but no other rhythm
would have been so fiendishly expressive
as the iambic pentameter. So in music,
the rhythmcal, heroic, love-emotional,
religious, metaphysical and all the rest,
each have particular frame Except
perhaps the Chinese melancholia, and here
ragtime could do little harm, as the yell

alton of our tonal system0.

ception today to the nominees reported
statement that had he known the demo-
cratic state committee and county chair
men were to have met here on the day
he was to visit the state fair he prob
ably would not have accepted the invita-
tion. as he wished to avoid participation
in the internal politics of any state.
Francis Herman. at whose home Gov.
Dix was entertained during his stay here,
made public a letter from j. p. Tumulty,
Gov. Wilson's secretary, dated September
., expressing regret that the nominee
could not remain in Syracuse last evening
to attend dinner which had been ar
ranged by Mr.. Herman. This letter says,
in part:
"As Gov. Wilson was leaving Seagirt
last evening he requested me to acknowl-
edge receipt OF your letter of August 30.
containing very generous invitation, and
to tell you that. according To the ar
rangements made by the national COM
mittee, ii will be necessary for him to
leave for New York as early in the after
noon as possible after his meeting with
the state and county committeeman"
John A. Mason, secretary to Gov. DIX
and secretary of the state committee, de-
misunderstanding with Gov. Wilson.
After it was learned positively that
Gov. Wilson was coming to the fair, he
said. I'VE called a meeting of the stats
committee. 1t was for the purpose of Sc
lecting the presidential electors, but we
all thought it would be a good thing to
have Gov Wilson meet the committee
men and say a word to them. l wrote
to Mr.. NcAtEo and asked him If this ar
rangement would be satisfactory and he
replied that it would, and that Gov. Will
son would be delighted to talk to the
committeeman
Before Gov. Dix left for Utica today
he was questioned as to his conference
yesterday with Gov. Wilson. Gov. Dix
said they discussed the general situa-
tion but that he did not ask Gov. VIII
sons support In his campaign for renom-
nation. The interview, he added, was un-
solicited on his part.
III people will read the address that
Gov. Wilson made yesterday at the time

mind that he made a friend of every per-
son present. and the cordial reception

remarks. is an evidence of the esteem in
which Gov. Wilson is held by the demo-
