Could Kill Any Publication.

1t is feared that with this power the
Postmaster General could kill the bust
ness of publications unfavorable to the
administration. He could, it was said.
order a publication unfavorable to the
administration sent by freight. while a
rival publication could be given the
faster distribution by the regular
mails.
Members of the committee said to-
day that they believed these fears to
be groundlesS, and that il was incon-
ceivable that a cabinet officer should
make use of his Office in such way.
Il would vote for the impeachment
of any Postmaster General who adopt

Opponents Cite Specific Cases.

On the other hand. opponents of tt
proposed legisla ton point to the case of
the Review of Reviews company.
In 1911 Postmaster General Frank H.
Hitchcock is alleged by the Review of
Reviews company to have discriminate
ed against it's publication by putting
into effect the arbitrary power which
the present post Office bill confers upon
Mr. Burleson. The Review of Reviews
at that time was unfrienuly to the
Taft administration. 1t was ordered
to forward it's publication to subscrib-
ers by freight. while rival magazines
were allowed distribution through the
regular mails.
Suit was filed in the United States
Supreme Court by the Review of Re-
views for relief against this discrimi-
nation.
The agitation that followed resulted
in enacting into law in the post Office
appropriat ton act OF 1918 a clause that
forbade extension of the existing freight
routes for magazines. and took away
from the Post Office Department its
power to discriminate in the matter of
shipment. 1t is the clause which the
post Office appropriation bill now before
the United States Senate seeks to re-
peal.

Tells How vinol Made Her Strong

In her eighty-second year Mrs. John
Wickersham, of Russellville, Pa, says:
Il was in rundown, feeble condition
and had lost flesh. A neighbor asked
me to try Vinol, and after taking two
bottles my strength returned; l am
gaining in flesh, it has built up my
health and L am feeling fine for a
woman of my age, so l get around and
do my homework"
The reason Yinol was so successful
in Mrs. Understands case was be-
cause it contains the very elements
needed to build her up.

Pianist Coming.

The announcement Of the engage
ment of Frederick Morley the distin-
guished English pianist, who VIII
play Friday evening, February 3, In
the auditorium Of the Masonic tenn
ple under the auspices Of the Marcato
Music Club, carries with 1t more than
the usual amount OF interest and
pleasant anticipation, inasmuch as
Mr.. Morley has been acclaimed by
the critics as one Of the most bril-
liant English pianists who has visit
ed America during the last decade.
Although Mr.. Morley's earlier sue
cesses were made in Australia and
England, 1t remained for Berlin.
Munich and Vienna to stamp him as
one of the worlds great concert plan
lists. Besides a dazzling technic, Mr..
Morley is said to possess an astonish-
ing insight into the under meaning
of the composer, and a broad grasp
of the intellectual and emotional
phases of the great works In plano
literature.
MI. Morley has had the distinction
OF playing repeatedly with many OF
the worlds great symphony orches-
tras, and to him fell the honor Of
reintroducing Dohnanyi concerto In
London with the London symphony
orchestra, under the conductorship
of Sir Henry Wood. Mr.. Morley's
first general tour Of America is re-
garded as one OF the most brilliantly
successful in recent years.
A full program for the Morley re-
cital will be announced in a few days.
Charles C. Washburn, the well
known American baritone, who will
appear with Frederick Morley, two
years ago in Boston was selected to
present before the leading musical
club of the Hub city a program OF
songs of the Southland. Many Amer
lean singers had, up to that time, at
tempted to interpret In Boston songs
of the South, but 1t was not until
Charles Washburn's appearance in
Boston that a vogue was started for
music of this type in that city. Mr..
Washburn was born on a plantation
in Alabama and has spent much time
in collecting the songs which he uses
on his programs.
1t is said that after Sidney Homer,
the composer, had heard Mr.. Wash
burn sing his "Uncle Rome" he de-
clared that it had eve been prop
erly sung before.
Tickets for the recital can be OBJ
tanned from any member Of the Mar
cato Club.
