shall We reconcile
the seemingly contradictory diction-
airy definitions OF the word "politi-
ciane' AS a modest amateur / would
say that in my humble judgment the
word politician has lost its original
definition: viz: "One versed in the
science Of government: statesman"
hence the new Standard dictionary
has substituted the terms. spokesman,
schemer." as a filter definition of the
word politician. The politician of to-
day could claim both definitions; viz:
"A man versed in the science of gov
ernment. political affairs and an up
to-date schemer." Last summer while
visiting in the mountains OF Virginia

CREATORE'S BAND
DELIGHTS MANY
Music Lovers Hear Excellent
Concert at the National.
Program Good.

Washington music lovers, who have
been living on rather slim diet since
the close of the symphony series last
March. had their first opportunity of
the present season to enjoy concert
music when Signor Creatore and his
band played afternoon and evening en-
gagements at the National Theater yes
terday. The popularity Of the Italian
leader and his excellent musical organi-
zation was attested to by the size Of his
audiences. and the enthusiasm which
greeted every number on the two pro-
grams.
At the conclusion Of number of the
more popular selections, indeed, the en-
thusiasm of the audience was such that
the conductor had to reappear time and
again and bow his thanks to a chorus
Of "Bravoe,' and a storm Of hand
clappins. At the afternoon performance
there were Ave encores demanded, and
at the evening performance the audience
forced the leader to respond with SIX
extra numbers.
The arrangement of tbe programs was
such as to give the more serious music
as the regular selections, while the
lighter and more popular" numbers.
such as The Rosary" the intermezzo
Nearer. My God to Thee" were given
as encores. The rendition of the last
named selection, given in the form Of an
oryan-orchestra, was one OF ting most
generally appreciated bits Of the even
ing's program. Batiste's Organ Offer
tory" given in the same manner at the
matinee, also elected great applause.
Other numbers Of the we'll chosen
programs which were especially ap-
preciated were the overture from
Tampa" the quartet from "Rigolet-
10" and potpOurri from Faust at
the matinee. and Mascagnfs Exotic
Dance" the sextet from Lucia" and
selections from Carmen" at the
evening performance.
Contrary to former custom, Stgnor'
Creatore dispensed with vocal soloists,
replacing them with instrumental So
loists. 1t was noticeable that he had
also eliminated many of his contor-
tional mannerisms, thereby adding to
the dignity and force Of his concerts.
Creatore's Band, as 1t now stands,
need grant precedence to none in
America. and but few abroad. j. NJ.

THE TROUBLE Is OVER.

The money scare is over. And for
this Secretary McAdoo is being given
the credit. His promptness and posi-
tiveness in announcing his readiness
to flood the country with a half billion
dollars in new currency did the trick.
The changed conditions have called
forth a special bulletin from Henry
Clews, who says:
1.-The demand for our foodstuffs by
Europe will be so great this fall that
payment therefor will go very far to-
ward meeting the many demands for
moving our crops. consequently there
will be less money for our banks to
supply; this will do much toward pre-
venting the stringency so generally
expected. Now the money scare is
broken, a good deal OF call funds will
be likely to go into time loans. owing
to the wide difference between call
and time money. This process will
advance call money rates somewhat
and correspondingly lower time money
rates as natural sequence. This will
be a wholesome feature and a substan-
tial gain to business interests gener-
ally.
THE money scare can now be con-
sidered as collapsed, and the secretary
therefor through the moral effect of
his suggestion to the banks to take out
emergency currency whenever re-
quired to protect the needs of their
dealers, thus showing that the new
administration is in favor of aiding
the business interests of the country
and is against depression or panic con-
ditions, for which I applaud them.
''It is now quite evident that clear
ing house certificates will not be need
ed this fall as many have been pre-
dieting would be necessary. They will
be superseded by the emergency cur
rency if occasion absolutely calls for
it during the crop-moving season"
