Discussing the hard times" OF
1914, Colonel Roosevelt said:
THE Democrats came into power
in 1913 and Immediately passed a
low tariff law, tariff-for-revenue
bill. The result was to plunge this
country into the depths of misery.
Customs receipts fell off so that one
hundred million dollars had to be
raised by a special tax which was
called "a war tax although 1t had
nothing to do with the war. The
treasury itself Is now on the point of
bankruptcy; four months hence this
government will be unable to pay its
running expenses and the impending
deficit is only concealed at the mo-
ment by adroit juggling with figures.
However, the trouble brought on
by the Democrats was far deeper
than a question OF treasury balance.

President Wilson's position as fol-

America has now turned Its back

The National View

No Eight-HOur LaW-Robert r. Fra
zier, who is leading the fight in the
interest Of the 100000 railway en-
ployes who are not affected by the Ad-
amson law, has brought out the fact
that Representative Clark. OF Florida,
made valiant attempt 10 induce Con-
gress to make the law apply TO all
railway employees. Mr.. Clark offered
the following amendment: Provided,

include and apply to station agents,
train dispatchers, trackmen, office en-
ployes, workers in railway shops. and
all other employees OF railroad carrier

an imprisoned appeal for hts amend
ment. He said that he was opposed
TO the legislation at that time. and add
cd, "but II you intend to legislate, then,
for Gods sake. legislate fairly and give
all these people the advantage Of what
you propose" The Democratic leaders
consulted the heads OF the brother
hoods and found they bitterly object
ed to having the legislation apply TO
all railway employees. The amendment
was rejected by vote OF eighty-one
to 800 the Republicans voting for II
and the Democrats, almost to man
voting against H. II the eight-hour
day had the sanction Of the Judgment
OF society" as President Wilson con-
tended, there was no excuse whatever
for refusing to make the law apply
to all railway employees. but Mr.. Will
son had been persuaded that only the
brothcrhoods could deliver their vote
solidly on election day. and that, there
fore, II was folly to try TO do anything
for the less well Organized railway
employees. AS things have turned out
however, It is not improbable that the
employees not included will have occa-
sion to be grateful. Present prospects
are that the brotherhoods viii have to
urge Congress TO repeal the Adamson
law before the time for 1t to go into
effect.

The German Yote.-Nothing better
illustrates the desperation OF the Dem
ocratic managers than their frantic eff
forts to make political capital out Of
the silly charge that Governor Hughes
is catering to the German vote. II
probably is true that the German
Americans prefer Hughes TO Wilson
1t certainly is true that the pro-allies
prefer Hughes TO Wilson. The fact is
that every foreign minister and am
bassador would infinitely prefer TO do
business with a president who takes
a position and stands by 1t, who says
what he means and means what he

with regard to republic in this hem

Army men everywhere are deeply in
cenFed and demand immediate action
on the part Of President Wilson. The
view entertained by the Grand Army
men is largely that expressed by Col
onel Roosevelt who says, "Mr. Baker
has been engaged recently in a de-
tense OF Mr.. Wilson. He attempts to
defend MIR, Wilson's attitude toward
Carranza and the Mexican bandits gen
orally by alleging that Washington and
his soldiers stood on substantially the
same level. He is by no means as
astute as Mr.. Wilson, but he is more
sincere and straightforward. He GER
tainly understands nothing OF eff
cheney in war. and 1t is now apparent
that he regards all wars as standing
on the same level of infamy and all
soldiers as equally disreputable.
Among his recent exploits was an
elaborate comparison OF Washington
and his followers and soldiers in the
Revolutionary war with Carranza and
the other bandits who are responsible
for the present witches Sabbath in

What we want opera for in this city is
more important than either
of these matters. We want it in order
to produce through it the great talent
in our music schools, We want to use
home talent for the production of a
beautiful opera. 1 believe that this
should be done in Cincinnati, that it
should be done in every city that has
a symphony orchestra. | believe even
tually we should have very good per-
formances, not only in French, Italian
and German, but in English, which so
many of the American people crave.
1t seems to me that to use operas in
our large cities for the opportunity of
producing local talent of a high order
would be one of the ways of enlarging
Americas interest in music, in enlarg-
ing her devotion to 1t and her capacity
for creating it.

the question of whether or not an or
chestra can be self-supporting because
of course it will be possible for an or
chestra to be self-supporting with all
the people wanting it, loving what it
can give them and needing it in their
artistic life.
But as it stands to-day the only
truly self-supporting orchestra | know
is in Europe-the Philharmonic Or
chestra in Berlin, which l had the
honor of leading for five years. Even
this orchestra in Berlin was very much
helped at times and was decidedly
elated to receive a subsidy of sixty
thousand marks a year from the mu-
nicipality. | do not think as matters
are in America that even in the next
thirty years we shall have self-sup-
porting orchestras: for in America the
expense of supporting an orchestra is
greater, and as yet the response from
the people is not so large.
''In addition to what can be accom-
plished through our musical festivals
through our work in the symphony or.

was recently mentioned in the Musical

we have work enough to care for the

could be duplicated with benefit to the

certs, but for the opera as well. Oh
