FAYETTE FOR ROBINSON.

Tho Montgomery News.
The latest announcement of a can

most part have looked with more
favor upon the candidacy of Judge Ira

than that OF any OF the others men
toned. and the only thing that mas
prevented an avalanche Of enthusiasm
from this section for Judge Robinson.
Is the fact that he has not as yet
signified his intention OF getting into
the race. Observation from this point
Of vantage. and from what we CLEAN
from the state press. which makes
a mighty good barometer. leads us
10 believe Judge Robinson will accede
10 the popular demand OF West s0ir-
sinians and become the party's stand
ard bearer in 1916. And so IL is that
the candidacy OF the various ones VINO
have announced OF who have been
mentioned have been little discussed.
for here in old Fayette we have a

Is some fiction in the profession OF
strict neutrality" Technically we
are neutral as a government with

on in Europe. but as a people suh.
jeet to the whims and caprices of
universal human nature we canno,
remain Indifferent to all when our
closest sympathy throbs for one
cause. II is as true now as It was
when the Great Teacher voiced the
verify that no man can serve two
masters. lest he love the one and
hate the other. The United States
government has faithfully tried to be
fair to all the belligerents. but IL
seems to have pleased none. Thus
we are in a delicate position. IL not
critical one. There is no telling
how soon our acute relations may
reach the breaking point.
II Is a deep realization OF this
situation. the menace that ia con.

as Musetta.

Puccini's LA Boheme" was sung last
night at the Metropolitan Opera House.
"BOheme" is not exactly a novelty. but
it Is more potent in its appeal than
most novelties. 1t appealed again last
night, when Nine. Frances Aida essayed
Mimi and Luca Botta Rodolfo. Both
artists were IN good voice, and If they
taught us nothing new about Murger's
bohemians they made those bohemians
exceedingly pleasant companions. Mr..
Segurola being still indisposed. Mr..
Rothier took his place as Colline, to
the vocal betterment of the part. The
inimitable Signor Scott disported him
self as Marcello. Signor Scott is no
longer of that brave age de vingt ans"
of which Beranger sang so transcend
emily, but he makes every one believe
it, Mr.. Ananian as Benoit and Mr..
Leonhardt as Alcindoro were pair Of
amusing buiTos.
Miss Schumann's Musetta is not Of
Paris, either of the grand or the eX-
terror bouievards. Other things than
the Rhine and Alsace-Lorraine sepa-
rate Paris from Berlin. Let US forgive
Miss Schumann, because beautiful
voice sang Musetta's music.
