Interest in John Freuno's Article.
John c. Freund has recently pub
lished an article on Americas Ap-
probation of Music" which has been
Ieceived with great interest by his
friends in Atlanta. Mr.. Freund was
guest of the Atlanta Musical AS
sociation in the fall, and was enter
tanned at brilliant functions by Gov
ernor and Mrs. Slaton and Mr.. and
Mrs. Milton Arrowood
Mr.. Freund in his article deals
charminely with orchestras and mu-
sicians, He is regarded as authority
on musical matters, and well quail
fed to handle such a subject
Mr.. Freund contends that CATH ca :
sazza, who is also well known in At
lanta as head of the Metropolitan
Opera Company, would not dare pre-
sent "Parisfal' before an audience as
it was presented recently in Berlin.
He also said that the reason artists
who were famous in their own coun-
tries failed in the United States was
because they did not measure UP to
the American standard.
Mr.. Freund has been deeply inter
ested in the development of music in
Atlanta, and has many friends in the
city following his writings with in

Taxes on these two slips of paper
figure at $S1, 666.65 this year. Tax
fixers tried to block the city from
getting this money.
Maclay Hoyne, states attorney of

He took possession of the rooms,
desks and records. He fred out of
the place all of the so-called county
attorneys and assistants dabbling in

Hoyne went over the tax laws. The
order was given that the tax laws
be enforced to the limit.

Ter was assessed only $4,000. This
happened in the district from which
Adam Wolf is responsible on the
Board of Assessors.
These exposures took special
meaning because, when Judge Owens
opened court Hayden N. Bell, for
the states attorneys Office made a
statement, saying:
'NThe assessor who accepts an I'M
sworn or unitemized schedule COM
mits a crime. If that has been done
it is the business of this inquiry to
find out who is committing the
crime.
''The taxpayer who makes a false
disclosure in order to get a cancela-

act business in a different way from
that prescribed by law. What those
deviations from the law are and who
is responsible, we shall determine.

The railroads, we are confident, will welcome "a law which will confer upon the inter state commerce commission the power to superintend and regu- late the financial operations,' by which they are henceforth to be supplied with money for their development"
 The Evening Post:
 "Interlocking directorates * * are to be 'effectually prohibited, though time is to be allowed in which to make the change with cut inconvenience or confusion. Something here will depend on the full scope of the prohibitory law. Supervision by the inter state commerce commission over rev railway security issues is definitely advocated; and to this we are inclined to think, even the railroads will offer no ob- jection.
 The London Daily Mail:
 Nothing could be more oppor- tune or more heartening than this recognition of the facts that a state of war between the government and the world of business is unnatural; that the temper of the combatants on both sides has changed and there is little or nothing to prevent their friendly cooperation henceforth.

How Canada Won 'Em Over.

Canadian officials have come forward and frankly told a con- gressional Investigating commit tee the secret of the emigration of thousands of American farm CTS to the bleak prairies of the Canadian northwest. They have testified that the Canadian gov ernment spent seventy thousand dollars a year for publicity in the United States. They were not altogether ethical in their
 methods, or those with whom they dealt were not, because they put out their paid matter in the form of news, and to that extent imposed upon the Ameri- can reading public. But they
 established as a fact what every
 newspaper claims, that "it pays
 to advertise" And in this par ticular instance it paid big. It
 IS estimated that from two hun- dred fifty to three hundred thou
 sand American farmers were in- duced to settled in Canada, and a

The Presidents Message.

The Presidents Message.
 President Wilson's message on trusts and other phases of busl- ness brought forth all-round ap- proval in the editorial columns of some of the leading papers of the country, as we'll as in Eng land.
 The St. Louis Globe-Democrat:
 We had already recognized the principle of safety involved [ in a prohibition of interlocking directorates, provided legisla- l ton could make it possible that directors openly representing in- terlocking corporations were not replaced by others, less adroit and efficient perhaps but count ing no less in the voting of pool ed stocks.
 "The proposal of an interstate trade commission is one we had qualiiedly approved, and we are glad to see that he proposes to qualify it about as we did in his saving that the country would instantly approve such a body but would not wish to see it empowered to make terms with monopoly
 The Boston Globe:
 Peace, freedom and prosperi- ty in commerce and industry were the keynotes of President Wilson's fifth message.
 Expected, but none the less gratifying, was Mr.Wilson's strong assurance that necessary adjustments would be as simple as possible, disturbing nothing essential; tearing nothing up by the roots"
 "The Chicago Tribune:
 "The nations struggles to ov- erthrow the power of concentrat- ed money are pretty we'll ended. The epoch of uncontrolled indi- vidualism with it's eXcesses of predatory enterprise, is drawing rapidly to a close. The enemy has capitulated and the task re- cognized by virtually all today is the task of consolidating the popular victory"
 The New York Times:
 "The measures the president
