TAUNHAUSER

The following excellent paper
was read at the open meeting Of
the Draper Self Culture Club held
at the Presbyterian Church re-
cenly. 1t was crowded out at the
! time and is published on account
of its intrinsic merit. We are sure
Independent readers will apprec-
late the article.
"The overture to Taunhauser is
one of the most popular works of
its kind in the concert room, it is
indeed complete poem of SYM
phony and is regarded ty laymen
and musicians alike. as one of
Wagners master achievements.
This opera in 8 acts with text
and music by Richard Wagner was
first presented at the Royal opera,
Dresden, Oct. 20. 1845.
This Opera portrays the struggle
between good and evil, virtue and
vice. On the one hand are the SOL
emn religious strains of the Pill
grims chorus, on the other the Sc
ductive choruses of sirens and the
wild shouts of revelery.
The religious motive appears first
when Wagner tells US of a minstrel
named Taunhauser, who by his
charming personality and beautiful
voice has received as the high prize
at the annual singers contest of
the WartburR, the hand of Princess
Elizabeth, niece Of the Landgrave.
Here the religious element is
gradually submerged in the rising
of tide sensual sounds.
A beautiful goddess-named
Venus dwells in cavern in the
Mountain Venusburg. Her abode
is near the haunts of men so she
can easily lure them into slavery.
Among her victims is Taunhauser.
We are offered in the opera a
glimpse of the outer fairness of
this sensual monarchy as we behold
the form Of Venus reclining on a
couch with Taunhauser beside her
nymphs sang to and fro to sensual
music and by lake are seen bath
ing sirens in the sunlight.
Venus is not merely beautiful
woman but represents power an
tagonistic TO christianity while the
moral idea which absorbs Tauu-
hauser as it is does those other
dramas Of Wagner"s which are
based on mythical tales, is that
salvation comes to humanity
through the love Of woman and
through her glory in self-sacrifice.
Amid such seductive scenes this
erring minstrel has spent many
months but grows tired of this
tremptress' allurements and longs
for bis own world again.
He recalls the fairest and gent
lest Of maidens, his Elizabeth who
once thrilled to his song in the
musical tournaments.
Venus finds that she has lost her
power over Taunhauser and argues
with him impassionately but a man
heart speaks conclusively--.
Alas tis but the god superal
Find joy and bliss in love eternal,
My heart longs not alone for
pleasure
OF grief too, it must have it's

DEMOCRATIC PROGRAM

Keno, June 10-The recent ap-
pointment of Clay Tallman to the
high and important office of Com
missioner of the General Land
Office through the recommendation
of Senators Newlands and Pittman
to President Wilson has met with
universal approval not only in the
Democratic Party. but among men
of all shades of political belief in
Nevada. Tallman's clean cut cam
paign for Congress, although not
successful by a narrow margin,
made him many friends in Nevada.
His work for the Democratic Party
in the State Senate and as Chair
man of the State Central Commit
tee exhibited his broad minded
views on public affairs. He is es-
pecially fitted for the office to
which he has been appointed by
reason Of his practice in the min
ing regions of the State and Neva-
dams look to him to make a magni-
6cent record at Washington.
Pittman's Bill to Relieve Home
steaders.
Senator Pittman has introduced
bill to excuse homesteaders from
being required to live continuously
on their land in cases where there
is no water on the land. This is
very necessary legislation in the
arid and semi-arid regions where
the struggles of the settlers to get
the land under and cultivation are
many.
Newlands and Grant Bill.
Senator Newlands has introduced
a bill granting to the State of
Nevada FIVE hundred thousand acres
of land for the use and beEefit of
the University of Nevada. This
bill if enacted into law will serve
the double purpose of providing
additional funds for the support of
the State University and of placing
at the disposal of the State Land
Office more lanG to be disposed of
by the State. The grants hereto
fore made by Congress have be
come exhausted.
Senator Newlands River Regula-
tion Bill.
The late disastrous floods in the
Mississippi Valley have brought to
the attention of the country more
generally the Newlands plan of
river regulation, storage of flood
waters, etc, which he seeks to ac-
complish through his river regula-
tion bill.
The Saturday Evening Post re-
Gently contained an article by Sen
ator Newlands explaining his plan
and there are indications that the
Newlands plan is meeting 3 nation
wide demand. The Mississippi
foods, the Ohio floods, the Califor-
mia floods and other floods of the
past year have awakened the coun-
try to the pressing necessity for
action by the government. The
great newspapers of the country
have endorsed the plan.

The allurins goddess tells her
guest that he has remained toe
long with her to hope for salvation
but he continues on his way down
the valley near the castle of Wart.

by the pious pilgrims on their way
to Rome and sinks to his knees be-
fore the shrine asking forgiveness
when he is discovered by hunting
psrty which includes the Land
grave and the minstrel and OLD COM
rade Wolfram von Esrhinbach who
tells Taunhauser of the sorrowing
Elizabeth and urges him to return
to her.
Elizabeth learns of her lovers
return and she goes to the hall of
minstrels to greet him. He, full
of remorse falls at her feet but she
tells him that as singer he mas a
right to the concert room so why
kneel. So pure is her mind the pos
sibilities that he can be touched
with dishonor never occurs to her
and she gladly exchanges with him
a confession of love.
Just at this time the Ladies and
knights assemble to the song con-
test and the Landgrave chooses as
the subject-"The Nature and
Power of Love-" and announces
the hand of Elizabeth will again
be the prize.
Walframs name is drawn first
ne sings of an ideal which he is
content to worship from afar-lift-
ing his eyes as to a star. When
Taunhauser sings of more pass
ionate love as that of Venus and
boldly recommends the delights of
her court, expressions of horror
arise and women flee from the hall.
The Knights turn upon Taunhauser
with drawn words but Elizabeth
springs toward and pleads that
his life be saved long enough for
him to repent.
The second act closes with Taun-
hauser accompanying the pilgrims
on their march to Rome to seek
pardon from the pope At the rise
of the curtain on the 3rd act we
find the sanity Elizabeth prayer to
the HOLY mohter for her lovers
salvation, she is being guarded by
the devout Walfram.
In an agony of suspicion she
scans the procession of Pilgrims,
who are returning from their visit
to the Pope, her lover is not among
them. AS the song dies away the
sorrowing princess turns again to
the shrine-all desire for earth ban
ished by Taunhauser's failure to re-
turn. She prays for death feeling
that its wing has brushed her
cheek she bides Walfrarn a silent
farewell and turns slowly home

Washington, June l0.-About
once year this country wakes up
to the fact that it has had another
billion-dollar Congress. Then there
is an outcry against government
extravaganza. But it is too late to
protest.
The fourteen great appropriation
bills which suck this vast sum from
the treasury have been one by one
passed and signed. This stag
gering total is only reached when
the last of these bills has become
law. Then Congress and the coun-
try realizes it has been extravagant
. again. But nothing can be done.
The horse has fled and it does no
good to lock the barn door after
him.
Representatives Swager Sherley,
of Kentucky, has an appropriation,
plan which he believes will put an
end to this extravaganza, nut which
will provide adequate government
revenues and expenditures. 1t is
the much talked about budget
system.
The budget provides at the be-
ginning of each session Congress
shall determine how much money
it can spend as total. This figure
eHill be determined before a single
one of the appropriation bills are
drawn. The entire debate will be
on the total. After Congress, after
estimating its probable revenues
for the coming year. determines
upon the total expenditure, then
certain portions will be allotted to
each appropriation bill, and the
various appropriating committees
will be required to keep their esti.
mates within the amounts specified
for them.
The important thing in the plan
is that the country will know be-
forehand what Congress intends
to expend rather than after the ex-
penditure is made. Then, if there
is protest against the size of any
budget, Congress can scale down
on its estimates.
1t is not necessary to go into the
details of the plan as outlined in
a resolution which has been intro
duccd by Sherley. In the main il
provides for a new Budget Com.
mittee of the House which shall re-
port its total estimate of expendi-
lures at the beginning Of each
session
The House will then debate on
this estimate. The result will be
that when agreed upon the people
who pay the taxes and stand the
expenses of government will under
stand thoroughly how much the
Congress is going to cost them
Under the present system the
amount to be appropriated is
usually in doubt until the closing
DAYS Of each session.
I, The government of the United
States is the greatest business in
stitution in the world. Its annual
receipts and expenditures are over
81, ,00O,000,000. Yet it is run in
an unbusine s like manner. Each
department argues for increased ap,
preparations regardless of the needs
Of other departments or Of the
total revenues to be collected by
