 in the City club. it is possible that an important change of policy with respect to the opera company may ne put into effect-namely, the abandonment of the purpose to give opera in English entirely, and division of the season so as to pro- vide for several weeks of opera In foreign languages.
 The officials have been consider ing this step lately. Last night the project was first broached by Otto II. Kahn in a speech in which he declared it to he his conviction that foreigners might be kept away from the Century by the fact that opera in their own languages were not pre- scented there. He suggested that at the close of the meeting. when dues tions from the floor would be in order, that this question would be discussed.
 Let me ask" MT. Kahn said, whether it is the best interests of !. the Century project that all operas he sung in English. l know it is heresy even to question that still must say that ill my mind il is q debatable matter. We have in this city, as everyone knows, q very eos = mopolitan population There is q great mass of people who cling to their own language and traditions, and most Of these people are in! tensely musical
 Without the support Of this pop nlation. for instance, the MetrOpoli- tan opera house could not exist Now it occurs to me that a great many of these people may have been . kept away from the Century opera house by the fact that they could not hear the operas as they Were used 10 hear them, and did not care to make the change. It seems to me that il might be a very good idea to give in our season, besides our operas in English. several weeks of opera in foreign tongues At : least it is a subject for most seri- ous discussion and l trust it will be considered here at this meeting" A long discussion of the subject i followed this. without any definite decision being arrived at. but the hulk of the argument was in favor of continuing the policy of present : ing nothing but opera in English. That was what the Century com pany was organized for, and while the financial result was somewhat pected, the artistic results were faf ahead Of what had been hoped for during the first season.
 Some of the most influential back CTS were in favor opera at populaf rrices in all languages, but mar 1ority of the men present seemed to he in favor of continuing the present policy

NO JUSTIFICATION FOR ATTACK.

TT unfortunate Delegate Wickersham marred splendid
 fight in the Representatives for the of the Alaska railroad bill by unwarranted attacks people who strongly of the he himself There absolutely in which his attempt to brand seven members Territorial Senate "Guggenheim men can be justified The fact that Representative Scott Ferris had caused position the Territorial Senators to be msunder stood presented for the action of the Delegate from Alaska.
 Most of the Senator's of them who signed the let ter which was put Congressional Record by Mr. Ferris and again by Delegate Wkersham have always been hearty sym pahy with the Alaska railroad that and has been pending WaShngon-and those of them who favor the ure include Henry Rode whom Delegate Wckersham partcu ay attacked because he has been attorney for Guggeneim corporation.
 Furthermore the letter which Delegate Wickersham in his said that the people of Aaka-whe in the opinion of the members of the Legislature opposed the ownership of railroads matter of prncpfavored the pass age of the bill
 The letter in question: dated at Juneau April S 1913, ad- dressed Secretary the Interior Lane and signed by Senators L. " Ray Ewood BrunerB Willard Conrad Breeding H. T. Tripp, J. M Tanner and Henry Roden, follows:
 Sir: We are informed that it is general opinion
 prevalent at Washington that the people of Alaska
 unanimously in favor of a Federal Government owned

 The majority of the people, in our opinion, are opposed to the principle of Government ownership
 It is true however, that in order the prevent the
 depopulation of Alaska in favor of plan or system that will result in the immediate construction of trunk-ine railroads in Alaska imperative nec
 
 and extensive coal fields.
 We consider transportation" the key to the present situation in Alaska.
 Representative this letter in his argument in opposition to the railroad bill.
 Delegate Wickersham replied by attacking the members of the Legislature
 If he had been fair he would have explained that these members Alaska Legislature had already passed resou ons urging the passage of the Alaska railroad b He would have they discovered that there opposition to the government construction railroad in Alaska by those who opposed the principle of ownership He would have told the members House that these Senators desired to let be known Alaskan support of the proposed ment railroad the interest of the principle of govern ment ownership but that they get railroad in Alaska except through construction and that they considered transportation be the key to the situation in Alaska"
 Delegate Wickersham excellent work for Alaska in supporting progressive for the Territory He IS not doing good when he his office to magn and nure the regulations who striving earnestly he ever the advancement of the country in which they have established their homes.

If You Must Drink Booze

Mrs. James Watson, editor and pub
Usher of the Dearborn, Mo-, Democrat,
has the following suggestion to make
to boozefighters: ITO the married man
who cannot get along without his drinks,
we suggest the following as a means to
freedom from the bondage of the habit.
Start saloon in your own house. Be
the only customer. You will have no
license to pay. Go to your wife and
give her 81 to buy gallon of whiskey
and remember there are sixty-nine
drinks in one gallon. Buy your drinks
from no one except your wife, and by
the time the first gallon is gone, she
will have So to put in the bank and So
to start business again. Should you
live ten years and continue to buy
booze from her and then die with snakes
your boots, she will have money to
bury you decently, educate your child
rem, buy house and lot, and marry a
decent man and quit thinking about
you. -

Temperance Campaign in Frederick
County.

To set in motion forces which will
line up Frederick county for county
wide and State wide prohibition, big
mass meeting will be held in the Metho-
dist Episcopal church, Frederick, on
Thursday afternoon and evening, June
II. under the direction of the Rev.
Thomas M. Hare, Superintendent of
the Anti-Saloon League of Maryland.
The convention which is to be held in
Frederick on the afternoon and evening
of June II, is one of the many conven-
tons that are now being held through
the counties of the state under the d.
rection of Superintendent Hare, for the
purpose of making a complete over
hauling of the organization of the tenn
perance forces of Maryland. Admirers
of Superintendent Hare claim that a
hobby tor organization is one of the
strongest characteristics of the leader
of the temperance forces of Maryland,
and that a great movement for the
elimination of legalized liquor traffic in
Maryland may be expected at the COM
ing election.

Temperance Notes.

Garrett county has only eleven months
more of saloons and saloonism to en-
dure.
The voters of both the Republican and
the Democratic parties in Pennsylvania
are demanding that candidates for the
legislature declare themselves for or
against license. The cause of temper
ance is taking deep root in the thought
of the people.
The licensing of men to make drum
kards of the citizens of this common
wealth will soon be ended. Whiskey
making like slavery, will soon be thing
of the past.
, The Farm Journal says: mo school
house ever set a neighborhood back,
but many a neighborhood has been
ruined by its tavern" Yes. and the
Journal might have added saloons.
In twenty-six more days the State of
West Virginia will be rid of the liquor
makers and sellers. Only twenty-six
more days until the bar rooms will be
closed and whiskey become an outlaw.
May they remain closed forever more.
The liquor traffic is about as popular
in America as the little animal called
skunk. 1t has less real value. for the
skunk hide is worth something.
Now let the rum demon howl. The
state supreme court of Arkansas has
handed down decision ruling that the
Going law which made Arkansas prac-
ticallv dry state is constitutional.
Seven out of ten counties in Cali
fornia are dry, and only 25 cities out of
175 cities have saloons. Sixteen years
ago all of the ten counties had saloons.
and only ten of the cities were without
saloons. Rum and rum selling is going
out of business all ever the United
States.

How Prohibition Kills A Town.

The last of Buttons sixteen saloons
closed February 4, 1909 Since that
time our deposits have increased over
three hundred thousand dollars. Our
deposits are now more than one million
two hundred thousand dollars. the
largest line of deposit of any bank in
Indiana of a city this size, wet or dry.
This gives you our opinion of the effect
of dry town on the banking business.
Bluffton has had three successful re-
monstrances and two successful cleo
tons, and at each succeeding fight more
and more of our merchants become ar
dent dry ADVOCATES. Fort Wayne,
twenty four miles north, and Mont
pelier, sixteen south, both reached by
hourly interuban service have saloons,
but almost without exception those who
go there for liquor, do not purchase
merchandise. | feel safe in predicting
that Button, Indiana, will always re-
main dry not only as a moral but as a
business proposition.
