Victor Records for June. The bril-
1iance of his dual effort as composer
and singer is sure to make this record
a great favorite with his host OF ad-
mirers. Melba's voice seems lovelier
than ever in her rendering OF superb
gypsy lyric by Dvorak, called Songs
My Mother Taught Me" This num-
Der is by far the most popular OF all
the Bohemian composers songs, and IS
given a rendition of surprising beauty
by Melba. These two superb displays
of artistry are beautiful to hear, not
once only, but many times, and Victor
audiences are to be congratulated that
it is the privilege of the home with
Nictrola in it to hear all the great
artists of music as often as they wish.
The exquisite art of Julia Culp is
heard in a tender Cradle Song"
adapted from Fritz kreisler's beautiful
Caprice Viennois." The English
words to the melody were written by
them with quaint and touching beauty.
Alma Gluck has made a fine record
of Stephen Fosters famous ballad OF
the old South, MY Old Kentucky
Home" II is in this simple type of
song that the delightful sympathy of
Gluck's voice is perhaps at its best.
and the effect of her rendition is aided
by quartet of male voices.

winning vocal individuality is given in
Tschaikowsky's "Ye Who Have

Efrcm Zimbalist. the celebrated violin

voice, and the combination brings out
marveiously the beautiful melancholy
of Tschaikowsky's music and Goethe's
poem. A magnificent effort Is the

French basso, of the Serbian National

EMPIRE lads" pay.
ALASKA SHOULD
 HAVE THREE OR
 MORE DELEGATES

One of the first things that should be provided for Alaska by Congress is more Delegates to Congress. Pending the ineyita- ble time when Alaska must be divided into two or three or more Territories. the Territory should be divided into three or four Districts for Delegates in the Ma tional House of Representatives.
 There is precedent for such course. The Philippines have two Delegates to Congress, and the different sections of the Philip pines are not as far removed from each other as various sections of Alaska. and the connection be- ween the Philippines and the government at Washington. par ticularIy in local matters, is not nearly as intimate or important to the people as the connection between Alaska and the National Capital
 A bill providing for at least three Delegates should be got through Congress at the earliest possible date. The First. Second and Fourth Divisions should be in different Delegate Districts. The Third should decide whether she wants a separate Delegate or whether she would like to be in the same District as the First or the Fourth. The Empire believes that the fate of the First and Third Divisions should be cast together. but that is a matter for ! the Third Division to decide for herself.
 It is possible that it would be necesary-or advisable-to cut l off a portion of the Lower Yukon from the Fourth and add it to the Second, but that, too, is a matter for the people of the sec .ions concerned to decide for ! themselves.
