French Operas.
4 Prosperous New Year

% The earliest operas in France were
composed by Lulli at the end Of tho
seventeenth century and Rameau at
the beginning of the eighteenth CEN
tury. but they were little more than
limitations Of the Italian style. The
basis of the French opera was laid by
Gluck in the latter half of the eight
centh century. NIeyerbeer, Rossinl,
Gounod and Thomas represent the
most popular of the successors of
Gluck, with the more modern Massenet
and Carpenter.

Snow Again Blocks Traffic

Snow and high wind Tuesday and
yesterday have again blocked traffic
and as we go to press this Thurs
day. afternoon there has been no
train service on the local branch
since yesterday mornings passenger
made its laborious trip to St. Paul,
reaching Hudson after noon.
The rural mail carriers have not
been able to leave the city, as all
roads in the neighborhood are eff
fectually blocked by drifts.
The Peoples Lecture course num-
Der scheduled for last evening was
necessarily postponed because 1.-The
Old Home Singers" were marooned
at Hudson. About 40 passengers
from here went to the st. Paul car
nival yesterday and have not been
able to return home.

where in transit" and we are forced
to get out a limited edition this
week.

Those who do not get the full sig
nificance of this fight against waste
may better understand when told
that this River and Harbor bill car
ries 81 ,203, 200 for small harbors, dry
creeks, and useless waterways in the
state of Florida alone, whereas Wis
consin gets only $132, 1000 in the bill.
Wisconsin has genuine waterways
that carry over 10 times as much
actual commerce according to the
engineers reports as Florida and yet
our state gets only about II per cent
of Florida's grab. Again Wisconsin
paid over 6 times as much into the
federal treasury as Florida last year
so that we get it going and coming
under bill controlled by Southern
influences.
Notwithstanding many wasteful
leaks in legislation, Congress has
been quibbling for months over
ten per cent raise in wages of mes
sengers, subordinate clerks and 9TH
er employees. 1t has been developed
that messengers working for the
government receive only $40 per
month with which to keep their fam
lilies going in this city of high prices.
A vigorous wall has gone up from
leading legislators against any raise
and by coincidence these men are
generally in favor of the money
grabs given to localities. On the
motion in the Senate to give ten
per cent raise to clerks and en-
ployees who receive less than $1,000
annually, Senator Husting put it
pointedly when he said, Il do not
think it is fair to say that because
we are living beyond our means,
therefor our hired help should suf-
fer" That expresses the general
opinion. A laborer is worthy Of his
hire and by saving a fraction of the
money squandered on Wasteful mat
tiers we would do justice to deserv-
ing employees who are receiving the
same meagre pay given to their posi-
lions over 80 years ago when the
scale of wage was fixed.
An extra session is lowering like
dark cloud over the capitol these
days. Every effort is being made to
put through legislative program
and get away on March 4th, but just
now how far this plan can be carried
out no man can determine at this
time. The president comes to the
capitol and confers with senators ev-
cry day or SO, trying to speed up the
legislative machine. After the rev.
enue bill gets to the senate, the stu
alton will be cleared so that mem
bers can determine whether they are
in for another scorching summer in
the capital city,

The name is derived from the fact
that the fruit comes out on the tree

'Tiresome," we couldn't tell you
which is the best make of auto tire,
nor what company will give the best
guarantee, but we are certain that
any of the local agencies would be
very glad to do their best to enlight-

keep the imitation up to the required
pressure is the chief cause of tire dis
aster. Skidding, sudden starts and
sliding stops are also prominent in
cutting down tire mileage.

Local High Wins at Prescott

After four hour trip by sleigh to
Prescott last Friday evening the
River Falls high school basketball
qulnt put in a strenuous thawing out
exercise, trimming up Capt. Lese-
mans tribe 33 to %.
Doc" Peterson, guarding the re-
nowned Leseman, allowed that wor-
thy but five baskets, while he picked
off six for himself. Billy Smith kept
Murry scoreless in the first half and
held him to but one lone basket in
the second period. Billy rung up
four-to his own credit. Chinook
played great game at center. He
scored three field goals. while his op-
ponent, Manion, got but one. Quinn
and George led in the teamwork,
keeping the ball in Prescott terri
tory most of the time.
The Prescott players were true
sportsmen, playing a hard and fast,
but clean game throughout, but
some of the fans were inclined to be
a bit unacceptable, using whatever
opportunity came to trip up or shove
the River Falls boys into the wall.
The umpire, home product, was al
so not overly gracious toward the
visitors, and his decisions robbed
River Falls Of at least a half-dozen
baskets, fairly scored, but disallow-
ed by his rlibs. Hip" Miller. ref
cree proved very satisfactory to the
players on both teams.

TALKS PEACE PLANS
BEFORE u. s. SENATE
Frears Fight Against "Pork" Shows Good Results
In Vote On River and Harbor Bill
EXTRA SESSION IS PROBABLE
Propose Wage Increase For Government EMPLOYEES
Congressman James A. Frear's
Weekly Letter

Last week the president came be-
fore the Senate unannounced and
made a short address, giving his
views on international peace, to be
brought about by the freedom of
the seas and by a general recogni-
ton of the Monroe doctrine princi-
pie among all nations. Briefly, free
dom of the seas means the right of
every nation to free use of the seas
under all conditions. The nation
with the strongest navy controls the
seas today. Under his proposal an
international agreement would be
reached whereby nations would
waive any especial power or rights
on the sea in exchange for an assur-
ance of perpetual peace. The Mon
roe doctrine among nations would
prevent the acquisition of territory
by one nation of another, and re-
move the inducement Of war. These
while not strictly accurate definitions
roughly suggest what is included in
the presidents proposal. Every ma
ton at war is inclined to be suspi-
cious Of any peace plan and in fact
mimic war has resulted in the Sen
ate itself between those who side
with the presidents views and those
who don't. Like Dooley, some hate
peace under any circumstances.
The River and harbor bill reached
vote Friday after one weeks dis
cussion begun on the previous Satur-
day. The opposition vote reached
1872, or just one vote short Of that
recorded against the last bill. Be-
cause 81 new waterway projects
were adopted by the bill, it was gen
orally expected the opposition vote
would fall below 100 and possibly
much less than that. At least 80 to
40 additional votes were given to the
bill by those having new projects,
but these votes were offset by many
new recruits who voted against the
bill. The writer was criticized on
the floor for standing alone" as the
bill was opposed day after day.
There were 131 others on hand when
the vote came. The two bills for
public buildings and rivers and har-
bors, known as the "pork barrels"
carrying $76,OOO,OOO, were exposed
and dissected so that defeat in the
Senate seems reasonably certain.
Good words from many quarters
bring some reward for a long hard
fight but every contest serves to
show up a bad system and the end
sought is the abandonment of omni-
bus bills, which contain projects for
localities tied together in one bill.
They are hard to defeat because To-
cality interest demands support.
