nounced as n special preparation for
the coming concert by the Portland
Symphony Orchestra. 1t was a subject
which Mr.. Hall as a player of the cello
who has had much experience in or
chestra and string quartet work, and
who has studied the orchestra for
many years from the standpoint of
composer, was especially fitted to pre-
sent
For an hour the general outline and
form of the orchestra, the technic Of
its instruments, the string, wood, and
brass bands which compose it, were
ably discussed and explained, At the
close a time was given for questions
and answers. The latter part Of the
program was devoted to a detailed eX-
PLANTATION of the program which will
be rendered on Sunday afternoon The
story Of the Antar Symphony was
read and the methods Of Rimskykow-
ski as a composer very entertalningly
presented, especially his use of the
Wagneran idea of the "Leitmotiy."
Needless to say all those who attended
the lecture will feel an added interest
and delight in Sundays concert,
Mrs. Percy A. Cupper has for the
past two or three weeks been filling

MUSICAL NOTES

Portland people who will attend the
concert.
Music-lovers in Salem are jubilant
over the prospect Of hearing Lillian
Nordica in concert at the Armory
on the night of February twelfth. Will
liam Morse Rummel young violin
list who receives brilliant notices
everywhere he plays, will appear on
the program and Romayne Simmons
will preside at the piano.
SO much has been written about
this greatest Of dramatic sopranos,
there remains nothing to be added
Miss Minnetta Mayors made it pos
sible to secure this famous artist, and
Salem added the assurance Of fact by
subscribing money for tickets, togeth-
err with promises, that will guarantee
expenses.
There is not the slightest reason
TO suppose these guarantees will need
substantiation, for Miss Mayors APP
peals have brought most generous
support and Salem is to entertain its
first great prima donna,
There are to be no patrons or pat
ronesses, no favored few, but every
one who subscribes for a ticket will
be given an opportunity to secure the
reserve previous to the opening for
general public.
The Armory is a splendid hall in
which Nordca can display her mag
nificient voice to perfection, She has
power to fill every niche and sweet
ness withal to soften and modulate
with flute-like notes her powerful
dramatic climaxes.
This will no doubt be the most bril-.
liant event in music for the season
Nordicas personality is beautiful and
her superb voice is unrivaed on the
concert platform. Her programs are
always Of great beauty and variety
and well chosen to display the sing
er's consummate art.
No program which this famous
b singer could give would be complete
without "Erl-King" of which she gives
matchless rendition, and it is prom.
ished this number will be included
in her program here. There will also
be a number Of English selections as

GLYNN ON MARTIN VAN BUREN,.

Governor Glynn says that as chief executive of
New York he will make Martin Van Buren and Samuel
J. Tlden his models. 1t predisposes one in the new
governors favor to note that he has the right esti-
mate of Van Suren. Some day Van Buren will be
given the recognition he deserves as one of the great
Presidents, as he had previously been one of the
great governors of New York.
Van Buren suffered the misfortune of having a
terrific panic settle down upon the country within
a few weeks after he went into Office. He didn't
cause it, and he did handle it with vigor, an under
standing, a courage, and a statesmanly grasp such
as have seldom been demonstrated in such crisis.
He defeated for reelection, and superficial read
of superficial histories have tabled him as one
of the mere politicians who burrowed their way to
the Presidency. He was nothing of the sort.
The Washington times., 1913-10-29

world accomplished it in Japan, and is accom-
plishing it in China But in all these cases the
superimposed minority found a highly developed
civilization to deal with, and made the most of it.
In Mexico the invaders destroyed every vestge they
could find of the antecedent civilization. They killed
the civilization but not the people. Their own num-
bers never grew such proportions that they could
crowd out the aborigines. So there seems to have
been reached deadlock.
North of the Rio Grande the invasion of Euro
peans found the Indian population much less nu-
merous and less tenacious of its lands. Our own
forbears, instead of superimposing themselves on
the aboriginal population, elbowed and fought it out
of the way; brought firearms and ire-water to help
in the operation, and the Indian was simply dis
placed in effect, submerged and, as real factor
in the community equation, extingushed. That has
not been done in Mexico. The country has never
been attractive enough to immigrants to make such
an inhuman solution possible. Perhaps Mexico's
problem will at last be solved in something like that
fashion. 1t would be pleasanter to believe that
more civilized procedure might suffice.

AS TO BEING A LIVE COWARD.

Ex-Gen. Felix Diaz is denounced by his former
associates in the criminal conspiracy that calls itself
a government" at Mexico City, as coward for
seeking United States protection. General Daz may
be guilty of cowardce; but, if he chose, he might
pl ad in extenuaton of his course peculiarly init
mate knowledge of the methods by which the Huerta
cabal puts undesirable people out of the way Gen
eral Daz is suspected of special familiarity with the
execution of the ley fuga formula for legalzing
snation. 1t takes very brave man to contemplate
with satisfaction the prospect of being stood up
against wall and shot full of holes; especially if he
has been at any time partner in this pleasant manu-
facture of human seves. live coward has various
advantages over dead hero.

THE MORASS OF MEXICO.

In theory, Mexico has universal manhood suf-
frage That would bring two three million votes
to the polls if they voted In fact in the only elec
ton worthy the name that was ever held something
like 100000 votes were cast. That was when Fran
cisco Madero was chosen.
Perhaps $4,000 votes were cast yesterday. Count
of that total the number put in by the army and
the oficary, and it would appear that practically no.
body took the trouble to vote. Mexico City was
rather more demonstratve than usual on its Sunday
holiday; but its demonstration took the form OF
exaggerated interest in the bullfghts 1t seems to
be fact that almost nobody in Mexico knows what
voting is all about. There is good Mexican authority
for the statement that probably half the men eligible
to vote-the Indians in remote districts and others
not at all remote-do not know they entitled to
vote and would not understand what it meant if
told.
Mexico, in short, is not community. 1t is a
large place with some people spattered about it.
Those in place know nothing of those in another.
Supermposed upon this mass of native Indian popu-
lation, is the little minority of Spanish origin and
the other foreign elements; most of them grafters
and exploiters. Their relation to Mexico today is
about as intimate and disinterested as it was when
their progenitor, Cortez, deposed the Montezumas.
But Cortez had horses and firearms, which terrified
natives; the exploiting class today has some rail-
roads, telegraph lines, eQuCauon, ana possession.
These are the means of domination and exploitation
precisely as were the horses and bunderbuses of
Cortez.
1t is fearful social morass. Down at its bottom
there must be something which to lay the founda-
tions of community. To find that bedrock and to
get the concrete of fundamental institutions and ele
mental intelligence down to it is the Mexican prob
lem. We know that Diaz built his superstructure
without bothering + lay foundation, and it crum-
bled Madero saw the need of going about it the
other way, and doing his best when he was assas
sinated Has Mexico man a group capable of
accomplishing that in which Madero failed? If Mex
leo has not is there any process by which, in the
name of humanity and in the sincere purpose of
serving the people of Mexico and making Mexico a
benefit instead of menace to tine rest of the world,
such control can be created from the outside?
The superimpooed minority, when it is Saxon
Teuton minority, seems TO have the faculty of ac-
complishing such tasks. The British are accom-
pGshing it in India. Touch with the outside

A WASHINGTON RATE PROBLEM.

The Interstate and the State Commerce Commits
sioners, in their annual convention are try ing to
figure out a way to reconcile State and interstate
rates so as to make complete and harmonious sys-
tenn. They talking primarily about express rates;
but the same question, and bigger phase of it, has
to do with general freight charges.
Washington suffers by reason of this contradic-
ton of authorities Recently Washington jobber
told The Times that he had shipped goods to Aexan
dria on the local rate and there reshipped them on
another local to Virginia points; the of the
two locals was less than the through rate from Wash
ington.
This is expensive and illogical business Why
is it?
Because Vrgna's corporation commission has es-
tabshed State rates that are lower than the inter-
state rates. The commission cannot make rates from
Washington to Virginia points because those would be
interstate; but it can make them from Alexandria to
other Virginia points. So Washington is cut out of
opportunity to do business on an equality with Alex
andra.
There are thousands of like cases all over the
country Express rates lately ordered into effect
by the Interstate Commission concededly represent
logical and, broadly, fair adjustment of charges
to services But some of the States have State
made express rates that are lower than these inter-
state rates. Harmony, with many conflicting au-
thorities, is plainly impossible.
Every years effort at regulating transportation
practice develops new problems of this kind, whose
solution lies in the establishment of single control
covering interstate and State business alike. State
lines are unknown to commerce; they should be un-
known to the mechanical instrumentalihes of COM
merce. .......,,.-..,,.-,-..,.r>.s

THAT LANE RESOLUTION.

Senator Lane of Oregon introduced resolution
wanting to know what is being done about universal
transfers on Washington street cars The resolution
wasn't necessary, for everything possible is being
done with all practicable expedition.
But the Senator did service none the less. He
asked immediate consideration, got it, and PASSED
HIS RESOLUTION WITHOUT A DISSENTING
VOTE OR A MINUTES DISCUSSION.
Five years ago the business of Congress in its
throes of dissolution could have been tied in hard
knot with that resolution. Its passage would have
been as impossible and the appropriations might
have gone hang rather than that so mpertinent and
indecent question should have been asked. The
world do move.

MAKING A SURVEY OF WASHINGTON

This newspaper yields to none in the ardor of its
ambition TO make model city of Washington; but
| it has some misgivings about the necessity for a
| Survey" by which to determine just what is the
matter and how to fix it up. We gather that the sur
vey is going to discuss the limitations of power
placed on the Commissioners. The Corporation
Counsel can answer that. 1t is going to find out
whether the Congress committees really intelli
gent about the needs of the District Whether a
this determination don't know, but in either case
we suspect some difficulties when high-brow sur
veyors crew undertakes to measure the heads and
put tine x-ray on the brains of the Congressman and
Senators who, the whole, try their best to do the
right thing for the town. Again. suppose the survey
ors find that the District committees are too low
browed; what assurance have that more ilu-
minated bunch can be drafted in their places?
If there is eagerness to make a city of Wash
ington that can be model for all the other cities
of the country, it may we'll be pointed out at the
start that the thing can't be done. Washington is sui
generis 1t has its problems and conditions quite dis
tinct from those of other cities. 1t has different
sort of population different sort Of business, diff
ferent way of earning its living, different attitude
toward civic questions. The Federal Government is
and is bound to continue in some way partner in
the business of running Washington. 1t ought TO. 1t
put Washington on the map, and it has some hun
dreds of millions of money invested here.
|, There are so many perfectly obvious things to be
done for Washington that it is hard to see why a
survey is needed The obvious things will keep a
couple of Administrations up to their eyes in work
A survey means lot of delay, an academic discus
sicn of entirely practical questions and probably a
series of boots from Congress when its resultant
lucubratons are turned in. If the surveyors were
going to have power to give us universal transfers
Immediately, and then 6Ocent gas, and electric cur
rent at reasonable prices and to eliminate the sums,
and build model tenements, and complete the park
system and so on-f it could do these things for us
without either waiting Congress for money or
fussing with injunctons and mandamuses and ap-
peals in the courts, would think a survey about
the incest little proposition suggested But it
can't; the surveyors will not convince the traction
magnates of the reasonableness of public ownership,
or the gas monopoly of the desirabity of cheaper
gas 1t will in nowise accelerate the process of get
ting things through the courts.
Why not just forget it, and 60 to work on the job
that is plainly at hand?
