Fine music is n social thing, and de-

existence. No club or small group OF

! no real devotec of music can find ex-

that he will attend the concerts, but
( cannot afford to subscribe for the best
seats. He should remember that the
very opportunity OF anybody getting
( n low-priccd seat depends upon there
being enough who arc willing to
guarantee the sale of the h'Eh-priccd
ones 1t Is not question OF any
silent social prestige. or even of con-
Nenicicc or accommodation at the con-
certs. 1t is question OF the people
who want music and all It's noble in
iluences assessing themselves for Just
exactly as much as they can pay, in

Unstable.

The Roanoke Times is a versatile
! newspaper. 1t is q little of every
thing. In most things wrong. II Is
! illogical, III tempered, un.ntormed. I'M
faithful. uncertain, unfair, un-
grateful, irritable. evas've. execrablc,
I insolent. unstable. injud'cious and In
ordinate In fact. il has all the ms
and un's that make UP the negative
qualities of :. newspaper.
Lately it tried TO be a prophet and
forecast what the Legislature would
do In the redistr'ctins OF the state 1t
said:
Because General Lee surrendered
Mt Appomattox Courthouse forty-sevcn
years aso is no reason why the coun-
ty OF Appomattox with 5000 people
and losing population should have a
delegate in the lower House of the
Assembly. while II county with $4,000
pcople and gaining population has but
one"
Evidently the Times has very little
Influence with Democratic Legis-
lature. and adds to It's negative quail
ties that OF being unprophctic.
TO give the Times it's due, however.
1t IS only fair 70 say that IL shines rs
CONC NEWSPAPER. Reviewing the
action OF the last legislature, IT says:
The worst omission OF the Assem-
bly, was that 20 enact the ChnIIiley
nntibribery law. That was caused
chiefly by the Republicans. They were
persuaded that the law would be used
to persecutc members of their party
md they stooi solidly In the House,
. ngainst taking 1t UP out of It's order
on the calendar"
How droll! That handful of re
publ!cans, less than 10 per cent. could
take the overwhelming Democratic
majority by the throat and strangle
needed legislation, The truth So. the
! Democrats want no honest election
lawa. The whole OF the election laws
of the state are nanirestly partisan
and unfair. ana were put on the
statute books for the purpose OF per-
petuat!ng the Democratic machine in
mower. and then for tho Times to
tr% to shift the blame when oppor-
tunity offered 10 amend the laws, s
ludtcrous Indeed 1t is to laugh. The
Times IS, indeed funny paper.-Taze-
