NORTH AND SOUTH PENALlzED

Nine tricks that appeared on the surface
of the hand were all there was in 1t for
East and West, and the adversaries
scored 200 points bonus in their honor
column.
At royal declaration the play OF the
hand would be more interesting Should
West open the hand normally with the
king of diamonds, dummy would ruff the
first trick. A trump lead would exhaust
the opponents trumps. with East in the
lead. East would lead a club as the
strongest play and South would take the
lead by winning with the ace. South
would then lead his singleton heart.

or not would not affect the final result.

DVORAK'S METHOD.

The greater part Of what has been writ
ten was the result of an agitation when
followed DR.. Antonin Dvoraks efforts TO
direct the attention OF American com
posers TO the beauty and efficiency OF the
material which these melodies contained
for treatment In the higher artistic forms.
DR.. Dvoraks method was eminenty
practical; he composed symphony
string quartet and string quintet In which
he utilized characteristic elements which
he had discovered in the songs OF the
negroes which had come to his notice
while he was resident of New YORK
To the symphony he gave tue-"From
tho New World" which measurably dis
closed his purpose: concerning the source
of his inspiration. for the chamber COM
positions he said nothing, leaving II TO be

discrimination unless IL was their I'M

ignored. This is the songs, especially the
religious songs. OF the American negro. or
Afro-American. These songs have long
cried out loudly for scientific treatment,
though "ragtime' tunes, which are their
debased offspring, have taken hold Of the
fancy Of the civilized world. Perhaps this
is deplorable, but the circumstance at
least proves that a marvellous potency
lies in their characteristic rhythmical ele-
ment. Would not a wider and truer
knowledge Of their other characteristics
as well lead TO the creation Of better
art than that which tickles the ears and
stimulates the feet Of the pleasure seek
ers Of London, Paris, Berlin and Vienna
even more than It does those Of New
York.
ELEMENTAL ANALYSIS.
The charm Of the Afro-American songs
has been widely recognized, but no mu-
steal savant has yet come TO analyze
them. Their two most obvious elements
only have been copied by composers and
dance makers, who have wished 10 imi-
tate them. These elements are the

the initial syncopation common TO the
bulk Of them (the snap" or catch
which in an exaggerated form lies at the
basis Of "ragtime') and the frequent use
OF the five-tOned or pentatonic scale But
there IS much more that is characteristic
In this body Of melody, and this more

THE NEED OF THE STUDY.

II was thus that the question OF pos
sible folksong basis for school OF COM
position which the world would recog-
nize as distinctive even national, was
brought upon the carpet. With that ques-
ton we are not concerned now. though
we NAV be presently. Our immediate con
Germ is TO outline the course and method
which are 70 be pursued in the investiga-
tions which are TO be undertaken by The
Tribune and published In its Sunday edi-
lions during this summer. Primarily, the
study will be directed to the music Of the
songs and an attempt be made by com
parative analysis TO discover the dis
tinctive idioms Of that music, trace their
origins and discuss their correspondence
with characteristic elements OF other
folk melodies, and also their differences.

CLUB OPENING STRONGER.

At a club opening East and West could
offer somewhat stronger opposition
But with due caution on South's part the
final result after little variation In
play would be just the same as at
heart opening. Thus II will be seen that
with a sure trick in the ace of trumps,
second, TO be made with either a club or
heart would be all the tricks possible
Of East and West at royals. Therefore
had North's final declaration OF five
royals held the contract North ana
South would have gone game and rubber
with individual hands Of such unde-
nlable strength at the various declara-
tons, high bidding. although somewhat
speculative, cannot be severely criticised.
North's action In taking the opponents
out after his partner had doubled Easts
six diamond declaration was perhaps the
weakest spot in the later bidding His
nigh cards in two suits gave sufficient
promise Of gain without risking high
contract himself

ANOTHER

Almost on the heels of the sixteenth
amendment, which provides for the
levying of an income tax, the seven
teenth. providing for the election of
United states senators by popular
vote, may be on the eve of ratification
by the requisite thirty-six states.
Though less than a veal since the act
providing for a submission of the con-
stitutional amendment to the legisla-
lures Of the various states thirty one
states have ratified the change, with
more h enough in sight to make up
the five lacking.
In four states, Delaware, New Jersey,
New Mexico and Pennsylvania, one
branch Of the legislature has acted
f~ayorably. Georgia is the only state
which a rejected the amendment.
The Tennessee legislature will in all
probability ratify the amendment, and
the Florida legislature, which is to be
In session next month. will likely do
the same.
II this amendment is speedily rati-
fed, the deadlock in the Illinois lesis-
lature may be settled by a popular
vote. for as soon as the necessary
states have reported. Secretary of State
Bryan would issue a proclamation as
to the reform. 1t would then be neces-
sary for Governor Dunno to call a
special election TO permit the voters
to I'LL the two vacancies from that
state.
The income tax amendment required
the longest time for ratification of any
amendment over three years and a
falf. The change in the manner Of
electing senators viii. have required
the shortest period of any Of the pre-
vious sixteen, il ratified this spring. as
seems probable.

ably received by the people or North
Dakota.
His first objection was that both the
governor and of his appointees
would be on the same board at the
same time. This would give the gov.
ernor too much power and virtually
permit him two votes. 1t would be a
menace and dangerous in the hands of
a biased and preiudiced executive.
His second objection was that the
trainers Of the constitution of the state
evidently Intended the farmers to have
representation on the board. While
the farmers vote for all candidates for
state offices, it is a matter of fact that
they regard the commissioner of agri-
culture and labor as more directly
their representative than any other
state official.
The third objection noted by the
governor was that all members of the
state board of equalization should be
elective, and thereby directly RESPONSE
BILE to the, people. For this reason he
believed that the commissioner of ag-
riculture, who was elected by the
farmers and other taxpayers would be
a more satisfactory member of the
state board Of equalization than a man
appointed by the executive.
While there is a great deal In the
contention that the state tax commits
sion should in some way be connected
with the state board of equalization,
some other method might be selected
for bringing this about. 1t is probable
that more satisfactory results could be
attained by having one tax commits
sioner instead of three, and making
him elective instead of %appointive.
Then, direct from the people, he would
be a satisfactory member Of the state
board Of equalization.

IF CONSTIPATED

PILLS ARE VIoLENT-THEY
ACT ON BOWELS AS PEPPER
ACTS IN NoSTRILS.

Take a Cascaret tonight and thor
oughly cleanse your Liver, Stomach
and Bowels. and you will surely feel
great by morning. You men and
women who have headache, coated
tongue, can't sleep, are bilious, ner-
vous and upset, bothered with a sick,
gassy, ~disordered stomach, or have
backache and feel all worn out.
Are you keeping your bowels clean
with C~ascarets-or merely forcing a
passageway every few days with
salts, cathartic pills or castor oil?
This is important.
Cascarets Immediately cleanse and
regulate the stomach, remove the
sour, undigested and fermenting food
and foul gases; take the excess bile
from the liver and carry of the ON
stipated waste matter and poison
from the intestines and bowels.
Remember, a Cascaret tonight will
straighten you out by morning. A
Decent box from your druggist means
healthy bowel action; a clear head
and cheerfulness for months. Don't
