OF making Wotdn peevish old man
There Is very little OF the god in this
parsonage. and one cannot understand
how he kept power in Walhana.
He lives from everlasting to ever
lasting. rules over all his realm and
governs all tNings great and small
says Har In the Younger Edda"
OF course he yields to the demand OF
f'rcka. but not because she is a nag
ging spouse. Yet this IL what the great
scene, the most pregnant scene in Die
Walkuere" seems To mean as II Is now
customarily enacted The truth is that
Wotan yields to what ne recognizes as
eternal law, which stands above all gods
lie had hoped TO evade II. but that
hope IL destroyed by Frickas penetra-
ton of the subterfuge.
The poignant question was verlangst
Du?" which the tortured god finally
puts TO the representative OF domestic
virtue Is one OF profound grief, almost
despair. II is not the petuant outcry
Of an angry husband at q scoldlng wife.
But since Cosima and the young Sieg-
fried approve Of this reading. who are
We in the country of the Houyhnhms
to lift our voices In opposition?
Perhaps the worst fate that befalls
the opera singer IL TO be compelled to
appear in a Mozart opera. Sad dis
closures are then made. Inquiring
people often say, What do musicians
mean when they assert that II Is DIM
cult to sing Mozart? II sounds per-
fectly simple"
Precisely. That is Just what is the
matter with 1t. II is perfectly simple.
There Is no possible manner OF deliver
ing 1t except 10 sing It. The melody OF
Mozart is OF the clearest outline, its
progressions are fluent and its phrases
neatly balanced. II does not leap about
through wide intervals. 1t does not
admit OF ad libitum treatment. 1t can
not be acclaimed in the style OF recits-
two. 1t must be sung by the voice Just
as it would be played on a violin. There
is nothing else 10 be done with II.
Now, since producing smooth.
opulent. beautiful and sustained tone
Is just what the majority OF opera
singers cannot do Mozart betrays them.
1t is much easier TO shout. 10 sing in a
half parlando. TO declaim, 10 be what
most people regard a. dramatic" than
II Is 10 sing, and do nothing but sing.
Those who attended the recent per-
tormances OF Die Zauberfioete" could
have had little difficulty in discerning
the shortcomings of several IN the cast.
There are some old operas OF much
melodlc beauty which might be made to
interest present day operagoers were
il not for their resemblance to Mozart's
works in this one item. They have 10
be just sung. There is absolutely moth
ing else 10 do with them And so Mr..
Gatti-Casazza does not attempt TO re-
vive them.
1t Is unfortunate that the singers OF
the Metropolitan company do not know
that there are some real Conno sseurs
Of singing among the subscribers. There
are enough OF them to make really good
singing worth while. 1t is we'll 10 re-

from Montreal, May 8. 1851, as
follows:

kill yearlings. Tor the price of seal

of his money on them. He will
use every effort to make as large a

see this, and, not posted by Muir

Why Bowers Was

who had been holding the posi-
tons were not regarded as in
harmony with the law and be-
cause the Secretary believed the
proper enforcement of the law
made it advisable to have differ
ent men in the places.
Back in 1891, Charles ]. Golf,
who was a brother Of United
States Senator Nathan Golf, was
a special agent of the Department
of Com cree and was assigned to
the seal islands of Alaska. He
did not hesitate TO make known
his opposition to the manner in
which the seals were being
slaughtered in violation of the
law and he was 81 mmarily remov-
ed from his post and transferred
to Montreal. This was before
Mr.. Bowers became Fish Com
missioner, but throws some light
on conditions which made it nee
essary for the lessees of the seal
ing privileges to get a friend at
court and secure the appointment

the frSt things Which was done
by Secretary Redfield after as
Stunning charge of the Depart
ment of Commerce was to re-
quest the immediate resignation
Of George M. Bowers, then Unit
ed States Commissioner of Fish
cries, now candidate for cleo
ton to Congress. 1t was not a
case of wanting the office for a
Democrat, either, for the man APP
pointed to succeede Bowers is a
Republican. He was regarded
as the best equipped man who
could be found for the place and
his party utilization made no diff
ference to the head Of the De-
partment who wanted the office
administered in such way as to
comply with the law and reflect
credit on the administration.
Practically a clean sweep was
made of the old employees in the
Fisheries Bureau and some Of
their offices were abolished as I'M
necessary. All who had been
clocely identified with the fur
seal scandal and who could not
show a clean bill of health were
asked to resign or were summari-
Nv removed. In statement
made before the house committee
on expenditures in the Depart
ment of Commerce. on October
10, 1913, Secretary Redfield said
that the changes he had made in
the Bureau of Fisheries were
administrative changes; changes,
to be very frank, in what | re-
garded as injudicious continuance
of personnel; principally because
the places were unnecessary and
I did not feel justified in continu-
ing the expense. and also because
they were out of harmony with
the administrative policy OF the
Department and because | felt
them to be out of harmony with
the law, which law | regard as a
sound and wise one.
Asked as to what law he meant
Secretary Redfeld said: The law
having to do with the fve-year
closeSseason for the seal island.
He was asked whether he meant
to say that they were not will
ing to comply with the law and
replied: mo; do not mean to
accuse those gentlemen of any
act of disobedience, but speak
Of their mental attitude, their
past attitude, which seemed to be
inharmonious with the law of
Congress. /"
In regared to the removal of
two of the men who held import
ant positions under Commission
er Bowers. in connection with the
fur seal business. Secretary Red
field said:
II think you ought to know that

Acting Commissioner OF Fisher

the coming year the gentleman

expense, and / will frankly say
that | also felt that DR.. Ever

station which is now the law was

able in the person holding that
responsible position. At the
same time | gave instructions

Dust Nuisance
On Water Street
Conquered Sunday

The dust nuisance on Water street
where pedestrians, autoists, those in
teams and churchgoers literally "bit the
dust" was abated late Sunday evening
by the street department A liberal sup
ply of oil was spread the length of the
street. This will be greatly appreciated
by the merchants, as we'll as those who
are obliged. or rather who We're obliged,
to weather the whirlng dust storms that
swirled and blew down the thoroughfare
Sunday before the brisk breeze, filing
ears. nose, eyes and mouth full. Stores
upon being opened Monday were found
invaded by dust, and wares and show
cases were covered by a thick spreaed.
Now that the street department has
acted. this nuisance will disappear. pre-
vious experience showing that the oil
serves to lay the dust in fine shape, so
that even the hardest of wind blows but
little, If any is caught in it's sweep, and
walking and riding on the main street
is pleasure.
Not only on Water street does the dust
need to be controlled. but the city
streets also were swept by brisk wind
which picked up clouds of dust and dirt
and carried it into open doorways, vim
dows, etc. 1t is hoped the city will
also oil the other streets, or take some
means TO lay the dust, especially in the
residential section.
