Madame Culp's. Voice and Art Are of
Rare Quality, Says Julia Murdock

Wv -HEN Madame Julia CuIp step.
!" upon the stage of the CoIum-
bia Theater tomorrow after
i noon. one Of the most inter-
esting personalities in the musical world
VIII be seen. Madame Culp comes to
washington under distins suished patron
age including the minister of the
Netherlands and others who are socially
prominent. Washington has heard
many wonderful singers during the sea-
son that Is about to close. but Madame
Culp will be remembered as propaly
the most satisfactory artist that has
appeared here this year.
The career of this young Dutch lieder
singer Is interesting and romantic. She
burst upon the American continent like
a meteor less than four months ago.
though she had been famous in Europe
for several years. In less than three
months her extraordinary powers have
placed her upon a nigh pinnacle of
favor. while discerning artists and
critics have been unanimous in praise
Of her work.
Washington probably entertained a
larger colony Of weli-informed persons
who knew in advance of the extrao-di-
nary character of the artist than any
other city Of the country. Nine. Jusse-
rand. Mrs Bryce, and other women of
the Diplomatic Corps had come under
the spell Of the extraordinary artist in
Europe. and 1t was not surprising that
the audience on the occasion Of her
frat visit To fbts city an Eohrno-y a
was largely composed OF the leaders In
the social and official life of the Capital.
Many Of these persons knew that In
Europe, particularly in Germany and
England. Madame Culp stands almost
unrivaled as a singer and interpreter of
every school of singing. They knew she
was born in Holland and that as a
young girl she became the special pro-
tege of Queen Emma, the mother OF
Queen Wilhelmina. or Mother Queen"
as the loyal Hollanders prefer to call
her. They knew that Madam Culps
phenomenal voice and talents have at
tracted the sympathetic friendship Of
many royal and noble personages, and
they were desirous OF paying homage to
gifts such as are to be found only at
rare intervals.
Madame Culp is the possessor of one
of the rarest voices that is to be heard
OF the concert stage today. and her per-
feet schooling bellies the oft-made as
sertion that German vocal art Is on The
decline. There have always been few
vocal artists Of the first rank and only
a few names. representing former bril-
liant careers, have been handed down

A Question of Fairness

What right has the farmer to vote on the saloon
question?
Might we not ask
What right has the brewer to vote on license?
What right has the saloonkeeper to vote on
license?
What right have the people of the cities who re-
ceive the benefit of the license money to vote on Ii
cense?
These people are all financially interested through
the license money and through profits sale of liquor
in the licensing of Saloons and what right have they to
vote the question?
The saloons manufacture court costs and pauper
bills, and the farmers of counties bear much the
heavier portion of these costs and bills
If we must disfranchise anybody on this license
question: let us not dsfanchise the farmers who pay
the larger portion of the of saloons and reap
none of the benefit.

Unless the people thus their only ruler,

The underworld makes effort to hide ITSELF It's
representatives in the council chambers, they ap
pear before the ruling committees, they the
police force they deadlock state legislatures, their
foul hands are on our schools, they dare to die
tate to the ministers of God!
Candidates for office no longer ask "What is the
1aw?" but, "What laws do you want enforced?" They
drag the law from her throne and pedde her out to the
highest bidder. These hawkers of the law parade
openly in cities and cry their in streets.
The awful fact the situation is that they sometimes
actually elected and then go about the fell business
of exploiting the foolish citizens who elevated them to
power
For the states of this Union the law should be en-
throned at the capitol of the state and every
power exercised from that throne by the whole people,
Vindicate the Majesty of the Law.
Under the present conditions our own city has all

the real ruler in this city. Then we may have some
heart and hope in this demand for wider powers

The American Ruler
By DR.. NJ P. Boynton

There is but one ruler in this Republic; that ruler
is public sentiment enacted into law. The public
opinion is not crowned king until that opinion has be-
the law of the land by orderly procedure If
there be unwsdom, injustice, mperfection of any
kind in the law these defects be corrected by
the sober process by which the law was first
enacted.
1t is supreme conceit for any man to presume to
know what public opinion against the law especi
ally when he substitutes his idea of the public mind
for the written laws of the people The ordly assump
ton of unusual wisdom by the city authorities in their
lawess review and reversal Of the laws would be en-
tertaningy funny it were not serious matter.
The Publics Greatest Foe.
The law is the American ruler, and he has three
helpers who stand servants of the whole people
in the administration of the laws There is the legs
ator who obeys the will of the people in making such
laws the people may elect. There is the Judge to
administer the laws in equity and gody fear There
is the executive whose duty is to that the people
obey the laws they have enacted, that there may be
universal respect for law by all classes of society
When any of these servants invade the province
of the others there results the greatest danger to the
public and utmost confusion in the law Such in
vader is the pubics greatest foe, and for him there
should be sudden and thoroughly corrective punish
If any criminal should be confined behind prison
walls it the public servantwho wully nvades the do
main which he has to respect and with which it
is his duty cooperate The executive that arrogates
himself the functions of the legislator or the powers
of the judge, should be punished by a long term in
prison.
Why Not Prison for the Mayor Who
Degrades the Law.
The present Illinois legislators could not serve
their state surely than by passing laws that will
effectually guard the law itself For the mayor who
degrades the law, whose administration invites to
disrespect for the laws, whose oath is not worth the
breath used in making it, should be proceeded against
and only removed from office, but prison
hard labor for not less than twenty years. Every
member of his official family who be shown to
have aided him in degrading the law should go the
place for not less than fifteen years.
There is crime in America blacker than official
disregard for law From the point of view of the public
