"ELIJAH"

The Elijah is probably the greatest
of all o~ratorios since the time of Bach,
Handel and Haydn. no other oratorio
has enjoyed so much popularity as has
the Elijah with the exception of
Handles immortal oratorio the Mes

three o%ratorIos have held their place
as the greatest as well as the most pop

THE CROW'S~NEST


During these critical times we are
called upon by the different patriotic
orders to display our national colors
either flying them or Dy wearing the
emblem on our clothing. There are
certain rules 10 be observed in dis
playing the flag which are too numer-
our to mention here. But there are a
few rules that are frequently violated
to which attention should be called
one Is, that a flag should not be used
as a over a table, desk or box.
and where anything can be set or plac-
ed upon it. Doesn't this apply to a pull
pit or reading desk which speakers use
for the support Of books or manu-
scripts or to lean upon with hands or
arms while speaking? This rule is
frequently violated in this and other
cities in the state. Again, the flag
should not be placed below a person
sitting when cluster and drapings
of colors are desired, bunting or cloth
should be used. but never the flag" \
little care in following out the sugges-
lions of the orders mentioned would
save criticism.
Our present governor is a native of
the state. He was also, for some time.
a student at the state university and
later because a successful business
man. This leads up to a word of COM
ment as to the qualifications requisite
to become the chief executive of a
state like ours. OF the nine governors,
since statehood. three have been grad.
yates Of universities, one a university
student, one a graduate of law, one
from a commercial college and the
others had practically only a common
school education, supplemented by
business training. Ambitious young
men who desire to take prominent
place in affairs of state should take
note of these facts and direct their
lives accordingly.

DOCTORS DRAW COLOR line

The color line seems to have been
drawn by the new staff now running
the Municipal tuberculosis SanI-

Giles, negro physician, 16 W. S6th,
passed the examination for junior
physician at the sanitarium.
The position pays 800 a month
and board and lodging. The white
doctors refused to allow Giles to
sleep in the dormitory or eat at the,
table with them. Giles made a kick
to Aid. Oscar De Priest. The latter
kicked to Health Com'r Robertson.
Robertson made an appeal to the
board of directors of the sanitarium.
They are now wrestling with the
problem.
