Emmanuel Wad
Gives a Concert

From the first singing note OF
BeethoVens Andante Con Naria2ioni
to the brilliant final Of the concert
Emmanuel Wad, of the Peabody con-
servatory, held q large appreciative
audience spellbouaa at the Steifg att
ditorium.
1t would be hard to imagine more
delightfully."- chosen program than the
one selected by Mr. Nad for his Rich
mond audience, and each succeeding
piece increased the admiration and
enthusiasm of his hearers. Repeated
ly he was called out to respond with
encores.
Probably no artist who ever came
TO Richmond displayed more brilliance
of technique, purity of execution and
mastery Interpretation 1t Is certain
In each of his numbers and played
with a breadth and sympathy of eX-
preston that reached the hearts of
his hearers
There was wonderful delicacy in his
playing of Beethoven's Andante Con
Eariazioni and one could follow the
melody through each delicate lace
like variation woven about 1t by the
composer.
The same exquisite beauty Of phras-
ing was found in his rendition OF
Staub's Sour Bots and Schumanns Ell
Dances.
But, from a technical standpoint
the climax of the concert was reached
In a most individual waltz by Glazou-
now demanding virtuoso power and
agility of the highest type
Mr.. Wad's own etude completed the
program, and in this piece. which, by
the way, was written for a young
pupil of his, the personality
of the Danish musician stood forth
strikingly. Interesting. characteristic,
and simply immense in overwhelming
power Of execution it drew a burst
of applause which did not come To ar
end until Mr.. Wad responded with a
final encore, which was received by
the audience standing

Harry Lauder Buys
Two Buick Cars

Harry Lauder, the famous Scotch
entertainer, who is an enthusiastic
motorist and q splendid Judge of au-
tomobiles, has recently purchased two
American made cars to be sent to his
estate III Duuoon Scotland.
Heretofore Mr.. Lauder has used
only cars Of foreign make: among his
collection is a Eleriot and "a Metal
lmgipue. Upon his arrival in America
Mr.. Lauder learned that the automo-
bile show was in progress at Madison
Square garden and Grand Central
palace, and like all other motor en-
thusiasts he visited the exhibition, and
as result he purchased two Buick
cars-a roadster and a limousine-to
be sent to his Scotland home
These cars We're selected from the
hundreds Of others, not only on ae-
count OF treir beauty of design and
finish, but on account of their repu-
tatinn as hill climbers and cross
country tourists.

form in this respect comes from Texas
where the bungling work Of the legis
lature OF that State has become a con-
spicuous evil. In consequence, a Nom
ber of the Texas House has proposed
plan whereby all bills, Immediately
upon engrossment, arc referred TO the
legislative bureau of the State Library
"for correction of errors in form, spell
ing, grammar. and rhetoric, and to the
end that palpable omissions or iucon-
sistencies may be corrected, and the
attention of the author OF the bill in
vited TO apparent conflicts with the CON
stitution and with laws not sought to
be amended or repealed by the bill. -
This is certainly step in the right
direction. and it is to be hoped for the
sake of the public of the State of Texas
that the plan proposed in this resolu-
tion will be adopted by the Legislature.
Such q plan as is proposed, for com
petent bureau TO supervise bills intro
duced would certainly cure many evils
of current legislation in Texas. and a
like plan would cure similar evils in
other States.
We hope that the next Legislature of
Utah will take steps in that direction,
for it is fact that all the Judges Of the
courts would gladly affirm that the leg
islation Of this State sadly needs su.
pervision of this sort It's vagueness,
it's uncertainties, and its often contra
dictory efforts in the direction indicat-
ed by the Texas legislator indicate
that proper measures Of correction
should be supported by the
citizenship of every State, un-
til the legislatures are brought
into line on the proposition that their
measures should go no further than in
tended; that they should be clearly and
consistently expressed; and that there
should be in no way contradictions in
them OF the constitution Of the State;
and that they should not be in rebellion
against the laws Of grammar in any of
its phases, including punctuation and
spelling. to say nothing OF clear ex-
preston and logical construction.

A HOPEFUL INDICATION.

Tt appears from the reports made pub
lie as occasion serves, that number
of the State legislatures are waking up
to the ineffectiveness and crudity Of
the old-style methods Of preparing bills
and passing statutes. Under the sys-
tenn which generally prevails, the legis-
lators individually prepare, or have pre-
pared for them by persons that have no
responsibility in that preparation ex-
cept to the legislator himself, bills
which these legislators introduce. These
bills bear no particular relation 10 the
mass of the statutes or 10 the settled
judicial procedure OF the State. In.

procedure and vacate precedents. The

unsatisfactory nature Of such procedure
and have provided for bureaus of iufor-

which are proposed by members from
time 10 time are made more definite,
their language more exact, and their
bearing on the body of the statutes
more consistent. And Congress is re-
