Last Saturday evening our City BanC
gave its second concert for the season
in front of the new Municipal building
and delighted large concourse of peo
pie with their interesting program.
Our band has twenty members. Prof
j. w. Anderson, most capable must
clan, is the successful director. This
musical body has FIVE cornet players,
namely Prof. Anderson, Joseph Bray,
Harry Frieden. Dalven Julian and
James Doyle; clarinets Leslie Harker,
Anthony Thoma and Harold Cummings:
aitos-S. c. Nauman, Henry Bray and
Frank Wagner; tenors Edw. Curnow
and Charles Hoare; trombone Bert
Schultz; baritone Andy Keyes; basses
james knight aud Henry Frieden;
drums Earl Schilling. George Knight
and Ben Blewett. All are musicians
and qualified to handle the better class
of concert music.
About forty new pieces of the latest
popular music have been purchased by
the band, selections from which will be
rendered as occasion demands.
The Mineral Point Band has proved
one Of the best drawing cards here and
elsewhere. An organization of this

public blessing and one of the best
recommendations of our city.

of strength in the Senate been pre-
vented.
This is not to say that the bull
moosers are masters of the situation,
and should be permitted to dominate
next years convention both as to can
didates and platform. There is wide
difference between yielding leadership
to small faction and taking it into
account at party councils for party
purposes.
The republican task next year, both
at the national convention and in the
campaign to follow, will be as difficult
as any the party has ever undertaken.
Mr.. Wilson has asserted, and has had
allowed to him, leadership over the
democracy which that organization has
not known since Jackson's day. 1t has
waned d little since November, but
will wax again, and by next year be
as aggressive as ever. The republican
candidate, therefore. will have need OF
every vote he can muster; and, OF
course, in order to muster all, he
must be acceptable to all.
As for the platform, it m lst repre-
sent the record to that date, and be
constructed SO as to inspire conf
dence. Since Baltimore, where bunko
seems to have ruled, voters of all
parties have grown suspicious OF tall
promises couched in fine phrases, and
next year they will examine all planks
of all platforms with great care and
caution.

The Excise Inquiry.

With the appointment of Senators
Salisbury and Hughes to fill the va
cancies on the committee to investi-
gate charges against the excise board
recently preferred by Senator Jones,
that body is now in position to begin
work Immediately upon this important
assignment, the outcome of which is
anxiously awaited by the people of
the District. The inquiry should not
compel many protracted sessions of
the committee. The questions in
volved are comparatively simple,
though comprising many items. In
the main the issue is whether
licenses have been granted contrary
to the spirit if not the letter of the
excise law, i'll manner to place
saloons within the prescribed range
of schools and churches, and Incl
dcntally whether improper considera-
tions have Influenced the excise board
in the grant OF licenses in disputed
cases. Presumably those responsible
for the utterance of the charges in
the Senate are prepared with evil
dence that can be promptly produced.
This matter should not be permitted
TO drag along, but should be quickly
disposed of, so that the community
can know the result without further
dclay,

A Great Business Meeting.

American business is in session to-
day in Washington. The United
States Chamber of Commerce, meet
ing here in annual session, is body
of the highest Importance, inasmuch
as it represents all lines of trade and
industry in this country, and the con-
vention is attended by delegates who
are the pick of the business men of
the United States. This Organization,
now only about two years old, has
justified its creation by the work al
ready accomplished in co-ordinatlng
many activities of generally similar
character previously closely related.
This convention is virtually the great
commercial clearing house of the
country, and the present session IS
certain to be of the highest i'm
portance and interest, as the meeting
is held at a time of relative depres-
sion, and this convention affords an
opportunity for the business men of
the country to discuss ways and
means in preparation for the better
times that are certain to follow the
immediate comparative slackness in
trade.
American business is highly sem
sitive organization, and yet this very
sensitiveness leads to success. 1t is
manned and officered by men of the
highest type, men of broad vision,
clear perception and sound judgment,
These men are in many cases special
lists and yet all have a firm grasp of
the fundamental principles of busi-
ness and all are aetuated by that
practical patriotism that makes for
mutually of effort. A most impor-
tant function is performed by such
organizations as the United States
Chamber of Commerce, in strength
ening the sentiment that business is
after all manifestation of national
life, and that there can be no true
prosperity that does not spring from
sound basic conditions.
The program arranged for this
meeting is particularly impressive,
dealing as it does with matters that
owe their origin to the abnormal con-
ditions now prevalent. 1t is unfortu-
nate that owing to the lack of proper
accommodations here for great gath
erings of this character the sessions
of the United States Chamber of
Commerce cannot be attended by a
multitude of people, for public edu-
cational effect.

The International Bridge Bomb.

| The case of Werner Van Horn, who
was yesterday arrested in Maine for
exploding bomb at the Canadian
end of the railway bridge over the St.
Croix river, between the United
States and Canada. may involve some
interesting complications. Already
the Canadian government has re-
quested his extradition, and he has re-
sisted transfer to Canada on the
ground that his act was one Of war
and that he is entitled to shelter in
this as neutral country.
Whether Van Horns act is such as
to render him immune in the United
States from extradition to Canada is
an interesting question that will
doubtless tax the departments of
State and Justice in this city, as we'll
as the courts having jurisdiction, The
case is complicated by the fact that
the bridge destroyed spans an interna-
tional river and is in part the property
of All American corporation, although
the act was committed actually on
the Canadian side. In one aspect 1t
may be viewed as an offensc against
the United States, although avowed
as IAN act of war; by German sub
jeot. In any event. Van Horn is not
likely to so scot free, for the United
States will not complacently regard
"a warlike act committed from this
side of the international boundary.
AS neutral country it is obligated to
prevent the use Of its soil as base
of operations against belligerent
power.

drear and gray, that there will be
fair weather Immediately and con-
tinuously after that day. If the
ground hog stays out on the strength
of sunless day he may be put to
considerable inconvenience for a
time after his experimental emer-
gence. Certainly if he is now at large
in consequence of his failure to see
a shadow yesterday he is in rather
unhappy circumstances. But the very
promptness with which he has been
met with snow may justify his judg-
ment. 1t is surely to be expected
that there will be some weather" in
the next three or four weeks. Com
paratively mild as it has been thus
far, the winter is by no means con-
cluded, and it is the common expert
ence in this climate to have most of
the severe winter storms in February
and early March.

The Formidable Trifle.

We are very philanthropic and we
love our fellow man.
To ease the worlds condition we in
dustriously plan.
But the Ego-oh. the Ego is mysteri-
ously strong!
We forget our fellow mortals when a
toothache comes along.
We speak of human brotherhood and
try to set a pace
For conduct and ideals that will
elevate the race.
But our good intentions frazzle till
they're nothing but a fringe
When old Ego feels the terror of a
maxillary twinge.
How fragile are the projects that we
form with patient care!
How vigilantly must we guard 'gainst
danger everywhere!
When Mr.. Ego thinks the world is
running all serene
A little touch of toothache can upset
the whole machine.

Next Years Republican Convention.

The next republican national con-
Nention should. and probably will, be
truly representative OF the party's
purposes and its strength. Inequali-
ties which long existed, and in 1912
oau.ed split and disaster, have been
removed. States will exercise TIE
power they really possess. Where the
vote at the polls is large, the vote in
the convention will correspond. Skel-
eton organizations will no longer
count for flesh and blood in the max
ug OF nominations Those who are
TO bear the heat and burden on cleo
ton day will decide the question OF
the candidates and the character OF
the platform upon which appeal is
made.
The dead past should bury its dead
As it cannot be repeated, there is nc
reason for recalling in detail the story
Of the Chicago row Of three years ago
which threw out the republican party
and brought in the democratic party
That is theme for the historian, and
not for practical politicians trying tc
unity factions for success at the polls
The leading consideration now i:
the unification of the republicans
There is much promise of success
but no certainty. Enough bull moos
crs are standing out TO cause trouble
Il they cannot be reached. If all hae
returned to the fold last year the re
publicans would have carried TIL,

The President and Alliances.

The most important things occur
ring yesterday in connection with the
ship purchase controversy were the
visit to the White House by invita-
ton of the President of three opposi-
ton senators, and the refusal by one
of them to discuss the subject with
the executive. Mr.. Wilson was openly
seeking assistance to overcome demo-
cratic revolt against his measure.
In doing this he put his spokesmen
in the Senate in an embarrassing po-
sition. Only the day before they had
referred sarcastically and consorious-
" to an alliance between certain
democratic senators and the repub-
licans to defeat the Presidents pro-
gram, and yet here he was in less
than twenty-four hours afterward
trying to effect an alliance himself
with the opposition. Indirectly, he
rcbuked his friends.
But he did more than that He took
his first step toward attracting oppo-
sition support for Eext year. At
indianapolis he tossed rich bouquet
to the Independents as class OF
voters. He now confers with men OF
independent tendencies or connee-
tions about a policy which will enter
into next years campaign.
Mr.. Clapp, who challenged the New
Leadership in the matter OF legislation,
Is bull mooser Until that movement
was inaugurated he was republican.
Whether he will return to his old
affiiation and support the republican
candidate for President next year is d
question not at all disrespectful to
him. The bull moose party is disin-
tegrating so rapidly there is wide
spread speculation about where those
who still hold to its tenets will go
after it becomes apparent that bull
moosery as an Independent force is
dead
1t may also be said that what Mr..
Clapp did yesterday of his own in
itiative some other senators have been
advised to do. A growing impatience
has been felt in the chamber at the
Presidents general attitude toward
legislation, and his construction OF
his powers and privileges respecting
measures in the formative stages.
Whether the Minnesota senator's ac-
ton will cause a check to the New
Leadership, by setting an example that
will be copied, is question. 1t will
at least give point to a good deal of
discussion in the cloakrooms OF both
houses of Congress.
Meanwhile the ship purchase bill re-
mains between the devil and the deep
sea The main point of the contest,
as many see it, is not the nationality
of interned ships supposed to be for
sale, but whether the government,
even in the present pinch, should go
into the sea-carrying business. They
fear that, in scurrying like frightened
children from the word subsidy, we
may take disastrous plunge into the
sea OF state socialism-public owner
ship of everything the public uses.
