LUNA C0UMTY's BURDEN

There are twenty-one MexicanS
held by the military authorities rs
guilty of having participated III the
llla raid on Columbus. If those
men are tried Luna county must bear
the expense unless II special act is
passed by the New Mexico legislature
relieving that little county of the
burden.
The trial of the other Nillista pris-
oners cost the county more than II
should have been called upon to bear
There should be u federal law con-
trolling in such matters, but there is
none. With Uncle Sam sidestepping
ihc responsibility, beyond doubt the
cost of the previous trials should be
borne by !he state, and If there arc
To be similar trials in the future they
should be borne by the state.
II the Nillistas hanged in Luna
county deserved death, the twenty
one held ut Columbus probably de-
serve death quite rs much. But there
j. no law under which Luna county
can be- compelled to assume the ex-
pcnse of bringing those men 10 JUS
lice. and there should be none. The
duty lies first with the federal gov
crnmcnt and secondly with the state
of New Mexico.

iion of the Legislature. Albuquerque

MADAME LenskaF Finds Warm

Ones own family is usually the last
to recognize genius in embryo. IL
had been her intention to study med
icine, but before she had completed
the course in Bedford college, London.
she realized that her mind and her
temperament were not suited to that
profession, and so she gave up the
idea, realizing that only music salts
fled her When she had finished the
course at Bedford her father came
for her and they crossed over to the
continent and during their stay at
watering place in Belgium they met
some very artistic people who per
suaded her to seriously begin her
work.
She entered the conservatory at
BRUSSELS, and after two years re-
ceiyed her degree. She then went
career and had the great good foT.
tune to be accepted by the court
singer Karl Meyer. In due course she
received her first engagement, which
was so successful that she was en-
gagged for three successive seasons.
This debut was made at Schwerin,
Germany. For five years she sang in
various European cities, having a
repertoire OF forty grand opera roles.
She says the happiest memory of ell
is OF her return to South Africa.
which was not only a triumphant con-
cert tour, but reunion with her
family and friends. Everywhere the
people filled the concert halls and
gave to her unbounded praise. She
is the only singer OF international
fame which South Africa has pro-
duced. and she is very proud and
very happy at the distinction.
Because America does not support
grand opera all the year round,
Madam Lenska makes concert tours
between grand opera seasons and her
engagements have taken her to every
part of the United States. She
came first TO America to fulfil an
engagement with the Century Grand
Opera Co., in New York, where she
made her debut as Ortrud In Luben-
grin, and later came west to sing
with the Chicago Grand Opera Co.
The war prevented her return tn
Berlin and she will probably remain
in America for some years. for she
says that II the war were to close
tomorrow it would be many long
weary months before normal condi-
tons would prevail in the musical
world. She says Europe Is not go
ing to rush from the trenches to the
concert halls to hear grand opera"
Very few people know that Madam
Lenska spent last summer in Keokuk
and she expects to come back 10
spend next summer. But next tine
she WILL not be able to go about
incognito as she did 3 year ago, after
having appeared in the splendid con.
