Will Not Experiment

The voters of Baxter Springs
will not experiment on the mat
ter of an executive head for the
city when they 60 to the polls
next Tuesday. Mayor Jones has
made good" in his administra-
tiou of city affairs, and the peo-
pie are in no mood for a change
at this time. There are too many
important matters coming up in
the near future to be solved to
take any chances on inexperience
or-what not.
The voters are not going to be
hood winked by a set of fellows
who have nothing to set out be-
fore the people for their consid-
Grafton. They know DIR. Jones
stands for the progress of the
city-that he is for anything
for the substantial improvement
and betterment of the city. They
know that he has always got up
in the forefront of every move
ment that had for its object the
advancement of the city, and
they know that he will continue
to work for the best interests OF
the city.
The old adage, Never trade
horses in the middle Of a stream"
is a good one, for the very good
reason that the new one might
not take you to the shore.
Since DR.. Jones has occupied
the Office of mayor more than
$S, 500 of the city debt has been
paid off. Improvements have
been made all over the town, and
more improvements are under
contemplation, and yet, in the
face of all this, there is today
more money in the city treasury
than when DR.. Jones went into
4 office These facts cAunOt be
disputed. And more-twelve
months from the date the M.O.G.
bonds were sold one-third of
them can be paid off. BY selling
the bonds to the State School
Fund Commission it became pos
sible to begin redeeming them In
twelve months. In the sinking
fund is very nearly enough, and
in twelve months there will be
more than enough to retire one
third of what the road cost the
city. And some other bonds are
to be paid off in Nav.
Such good business manage
ment as this is just what the city
wants. Would they get as good
results from other hands? They
might. but il is not certain, so 1t
is a good idea to NOT EXPER"
IMENT.
The city treasurer's sworn
statement. which appears else
where in this paper, is mighty
interesting reading. Go over 1t
carefully, and you will have to
admit that Baxter Springs is in
mighty good condition from a
financial standpoint. And that
70 inst what the voters and tax.

MISCHA ELMAN GIVES
SECOND CONCERT HERE
Long and Exacting Programme De-
lights Large Audience at the
Columbia Theater.

| Mischa Elman, the distinguished violin
virtuoso, appeared for the second time
this season in Washington in recital
at the Columbia Theater yesterday aft
ernoon. Mr. Elman did some brilliant
work in long and eXacting programme
which inclTded a sonata, Il fiat, No. 10
| by Mozart: the ID minor concerto by
Wieniawski: a sonata, G. major, by Han
| del: a group of shorter compositions, by
Beethoven. CouperinPress. Pergolesi
| and Brahms-Joa chin, and Introduction
ct Jota' (Sarasate.)
1t would be impossible to praise too
highly the splendid work of this young
master of the violin. Few artists COM
bine the freshness, virility, and poetic
feeling of youth with the intellectual re-
straint that comes with mature musl-
cianship. as does Mr.. Elman. His display
of meteoric virtuosity, his bringing on
al the heaped-up difficulties with neat,
easy fuency with an almost whimsical
facility, is Of the lesser features of his
greatness Such were his ease In the
severe work of the brilliant movements
of the NVieniawski, the rapid harmonics
of the Brahms-Joac him hungarian
Dance" and in Sarasates Introduction
ct Jota.
Elman's real claim to greatness les
in his sympathetic treatment or every
composition. Ills treatment VI tHo
Mozart sonata is an instance worthy
of special mention. The cool tone, the
exquisite grace, the even, steady tempo,
made of this composition the pure tonal
arabesque. innocent of passionate feel
ing, but full of the classic, formal beau
tv of the true Mozart. The same treat
ment characterized his playing OF the
Handel sonata, his chief care in these
COMPOSITIONS seems to be purity OF tone.
Mr.. Percy Eahn's unusually fine ac-
companying should be spoken of in con-
nection with this sonata. Although an
integral part of this composition, he
subordinated the part with a business
and a perfect sense of the artistic de-
mands. most gratifying to the lntelli-
gent listeners.
Very different was Mr.. Elman's treat
ment of Wieniawskrs concerto. Here the
emotions are brought into play, and con-
trasts are sharply marked.
In the beautiful melody of Beethoven's
Romance, as well as in the Aria from
Pergolesi Mr.. Elman had abundance of
opportunity to eXpend himself on those
rich warm tones, which he seems TO love
so well, and of which he has an mex
haustible variety for emotional express
sion.
Mr. Elman was most generous with his
encores, giving after the Handel sonata,
"Bagatelle," by Sinigajlia: after Brahms
Hungarian Dance" 'Schone Rosmerin."
by Kreisler, and 'Wiegenlied," by Schu-
bert Elman, and at the end of the per-

ing. If they are able to advance sufi-
ciently strong assurances of their
ability to prevent log-rolling on an
omnibus tariff bill when it reaches the
Senate-log- rolling is the vehicle by
which special privilege rides into the
tariff law-President Wilson will con-
sent to an omnibus bill, always holding
over the heads of the legislative branch
of the government the threat of execu-
tive veto if the bill contains any "irreg-

sure the President, he will insist upon
