questions asked by Mr.. Rosenwald
covered what he thought we're
omissions of service Mr.. Staples
owed the public. To cap it all Mr..
Rosenwald announced that. if the
answers to his questions were not sat

If experience counts for anything
Mr.. Staples has it. He has been a
member of the railroad commission
since 1900 AS to ability thirteen
years of experience has contributed
a line of knowledge, coupled with a
keen mind, that is perhaps without a
rival in Minnesota, but for some I'M
known reason the voters have on
more than one occasion overlooked
men of this kind. They have won
derful way of forgetting. Rosenwald
came near putting G. E. Elmquist of
the commission out of business last
year, and that in the face of the fact
that Mr.. Elmquist had as a running
mate Judge Ira B. Mills. Rosenwald
made run that was a wonder and it
behooves Commissioner Staples to
keep his eyes open.

Andrew Fritz, state public examin-
er, will not have to worry for an
other year, at least. His term of Of
fee is for two years and on Christ
mas day Governor Eberhart handed
him a new commission. This means
that if Governor Eberhart gets by
this fall Mr. Fritz will have meal
ticket for some years to come. AS
the successor OF a long line of public
examiners who insisted on poking
their noses into public affairs and
announcing the fact when they found
anything wrong Mr.. Fritz approaches
the ideal in keeping things disagree

had more than one quarrel with pub
lie examiners under him who in
sisted in delging into matters finan-

Flonzaley Quartet.

The Flonzaley Quartet will close ITS
New York subscription series with a
concert i'm Aeolau Hall tomorrow even
ing. The unique feature of the pro-
gramme will be the Bach suite. in {
major, for cello alone. played by ivan
d. Archambeau This composition is the
second of six cello soil written by Bach
during the Koechen period, while he was
court organist 10 Prince Leopold OF An
halt. The G major suite is general" con-
sidered most interesting and musically
appealing, though the sixth has the dis
tinction of being one of the few works
composed for the viola pomposa,' an
instrument which Bach himself invented.
The Flonzaleys will open their pro-
gramme with the Dvorak Quartet, In {
major. and the concluding number will
be the Beethoven Quartet, in Il minor,

when Count Rasoumososly, the wealthy
Russian amateur. asked Beethoven to
write some quartets introducing Russian
folksong themes. Three important COM
positions were the result. The minor
quartet, however, is purely Beethoven
throughout, only a siX-measure melody
of the allegretto being of Slavic origin.
According TO Czerny, the wonderful
adagio Of this quartet came to Beethoven
as he was once considering the con-
stelated heavens and meditating on the
beauty of the spheres

We do not believe even this spade con-
Vention, despite its more or less constant
use, has proper function in the game.
1t is used upon the slightest provocstion
by unthinkng players. The greatest OBJ
lection to its use. however, is that the bid
itself marks the weakness of hand which
becomes accentuated if ones partner is
forced 10 bid diamond or club, thus fail
ing 10 support the royal invitation.
The mathematical probabilities are
heavily in favor Of the opponents upon
this point, as a natural distribution OF the
missing high spades is two 10 one In their
favor and the natural result follows that
In . large majority Of cases the bid de-
feats its own invitation and permits the
opponents TO get in action and foreclose
pe rubber.
Some twists have been given this spade
convention, and the only one that seems at
all logical is f. V. Shepards innovation.
which he apparently put out az a sugges-
ton 10 test approval Of players. viz. that
1t should mean top spade without length
and sure trick or two in one other suit.
Arbitrary conventions cumber any card
game. Logical conventions only are de-
sirable.
The bid OF one spade with poor hand
is logical so also is a bid Of two spades
when the bidder has that suit well guarded
and other good assistance for partner.
Any novice with brains and having no
knowledge OF conventions would easily
infer that the bidder had better hand
than bid OF one made would indicate
and not quite good enough for a no
trimper.
In the judgment of many OF our best
players II Is IA pity the word Invitation
and the Invitation bids ever came into the
game. their idea being that bids should
show Information and strength leading TO
constructive team work.
on general principles all auction players
cndesyor 10 conceal as far AZ possible the
hands weakness. yet the advocates OF this
three spade call seem 10 lose sight Of this
very important fact
