that time.
His tone is very pure and we'll mod l.

and marterly coloring. The Meistc r

impressive. but PREPARED for the next
number. the Porpora Sonata" In q,
remarkable for its sheer beauty.
Variations of odd kentucky Home

Senator Bristow thinks.
Senator Bristow declares the people
of the West are particularly critical Of
the exercise of this discretion by the
commission with respect to transconti-
mental rates In relation to the shipping

Senator Bristow. after conference with
members OF the commission. declared
the people are beginning to feel that II
the transcontinental rates. made to meet
water competition, are so low that they
produce no revenue. they are unlawful.
and that II the ydo produce revenue.
the interior rates are unIawfuliy extor-
tionAte.
senator Br1stow says that many
people feel the Interstate Commerce
Commission has abused the discretion
ary power which u has assumed is
vested In II in authorizing violation Of
the long and short haul clause. and
that correction OF this situation is
bound to come soon In the shape Of an
amendment to the act. making the abso-
lutte rule that the long distance rate

 The only thing wrong with this statement is that there isn't any German. American vote" A Chicago mayoraty candidate imagined there was not long ago and found to his discomhture that appeal to th, great German population of that city in the name oi Kaiser Wilhelm and Emperor Franz Josef drove ava votes instead of winning them Intelligent citizens O. Geman origin and sympathy resented the attempt to in ect alien influences into domestic politics, just as Am 9ricans have always resented such efforts
 The nearest we have ever come to having German American vote in this country has been in oceasona local elections involving the liquor or some othc, question of personal freedom capable of being settled a the ballot box There could never be national German American vote unless the personal freedom or rights Germans throughout the country threatened by th united action of their fellow-ctzens That difference of sympathy and opinion regarding the European WI can result in political cleavage lining up one great class of ctzens-now distributed among the Republican Dem ocratc and Socialist partes-aganst the rest is an ab urd fancy that could find lodging only in such fiery aa imaginative brain that of Mr. George Sylvester ver eek the youthful editor "Fatherland" There is n, more "German-American vote" than there is "Brts American vote" Catholic vote or Baptist vote or 'women's vote" Our voters regardless of racia origin affiliations, are Americans-which is to say they are ndyidualsts who their ballots according to their personal ncnauons and that they are disposed
