candidates in the race for the city COM
mission may result from the filing Of in
sanity charges against Fred w. Pleuler.

His aunt, Mrs. Henrietta Brandes. signed

Pleuler had made extensive prepare
tons to compete In the commissioning

FAVORS FREE MUSIC SCHOOL
DR. Alma Webster Powell Lectures
on Subject at the University
Of Omaha.
SHOULD BE SCIENCE, NOT ART

plea for national free schools of
music. such as are maintained in Duro-
pean countries. was made by DIT. Alma
webster Powell of New York City, at the
University Of Omaha Saturday evening.
Besides bearing an imposing list OF de-
grees, including that Of LIB, NJ. B.. A.
NJ. and Phi D.. DR.. Powell Is a singer of
note, having appeared In concert In
European cities and with the Metropol-
itan and Damrosch companies In New
York City.
DIR. Powell has some decidedly new
ideas along the line of musical study.
Music should be studied as a science
Ike physics. It should be taken out of
the fine arts, where Il is being neglected.
II should be placed on a different plane
SO that men would not be ashamed TO
study music thinking It erteninate.
Music is a human need. People must
have it-they can't live. get married ar
die without 1t. It has a great curative
effect too" In this connection DR.. Powell
advances her theories in "toneurolos-y. -
new study in music.
My idea Is to bring music back to
the common people, Of whom It is a
product. All the great composers and
nave iiStIl ITpill Ine common
people, yet today they are unable to re
ceive musical instruction because Of lack
OF funds and are unable to attend musi-
cal affairs, operas, etc, because Of pro-
hibitive prices.

AN this year, l nave been touring
the country speaking in many UNIVERSE
ties and appealing to the Intellectual
people. Next year, I shall tour tho
country speaking to the laboring classes
and the labor unions, showing them
what they should have Then I shall
go before congress with my plan.
Today one can secure no doctors de-
gree in music. Music is looked upon
only as an amusement. l asked to have
music introduced in the political science
department of the Columbia university
and they laughed at me- Yet music
has greater effect on the masses than
any other known agent. Music quells
violence. 1t takes the fight out Of one.
Music Goes not give courage. 1t gives
what passes for courage -enthusiasm."
FaVovs Free Concerts.
DR.. Powell thought that music would
have the po,cr 90 arc .sc IT,, pnlcgmat-
ically inclined German and British SOL
diers, but said that music would have
the opposite effect on the Frnnch for
instance, a high-emotion people.
DR.. Powell would rather the federal
government establish the free schools
because, she said, the state government
was too close to the taxpayers and
would therefore he less likely of sup

ing mission to which he devoted his
life. Some fnickv horticultural may
snecr at the results that Johnny OBJ
tanned. But we may be sure that the
settlers of Ohio never sneered. To
find apple trees growing in some val
ley remote from home, to come upon
the little clearing and the struggling
fruit under the shadow of a Forest,
must have been to the pioneers like
some fragrant breath from home
One who had been little girl when
this eccentric was in his prime said
that for head covering he wore
pasteboard hat OF his own making,
with one broad side to it: coat
made of a coffee sack. which served
him also as shirt. and pair Of ragged
trousers, the gift of settler. He
never wore shoes. even when snow
covered the ground. He made "a very
unsightly object, to be sure, but never
one of us children ventured to laugh"
Johnny Appleseed's biographer in
"Howe's Historical Collections of
Ohio says that "his bruised and
bleeding feet now walk the gold
paved streets of the New Jerusalem"
Aye, and we can believe that because
Of Appleseed Johnny the air of heaven
is sweeter with the perfume Of apple
blossoms.
