WHAT WE CALL A SYMPHONY
Merely a Series of Ordered Sounds
Produced by Means of instru-
ments of Different Kinds.

What we call a symphony is merely
a series of ordered sounds produced
by means of instruments Of various
kinds. 1t is sound and nothing else
Our program books tell us about first
themes and second themes" and we
make what effort we can. to patch to-
gether the various brilliant textures of
symphonic music into a coherent pat
tern but the music we seek lies be-
hind these outward manifestations as,
in a lesser sense, the significance of a
great poem lies behind or beneath the
actual words. A symphony is not q
record of something else it is not q
picture of something else you cannot
use the word elise in connection with
it because it is itself only. Any in
teIligent person, or being shown a lila
gram or plan of a symphonic move
ment. could be made to understand
how and why the material was so dis
posed for that disposition is dictated
to the composer by the nature of sound
8ad by the limitations and capacities
of human beings, and it conforms TO
certain principles which operate ev-
e%rywhere; but that understanding
would not reveal the symphony to him.

IN NEW YoRK'S EARLY DAYS
Simple Reason Why the First Settle
ment Grew in Length Instead
of Breadth.

The province of New York vas in
reality a fringe of settlements on the
Hudson river, Manhattan island and
Long island; back Of this fringe was q
waste of trackless forest land, the land
of mountains and ravines, where
lurked vast hordes of Indians. driven
from the water front by the daring
mariners. to whom, for a song, the
simple savages had sold their birth
right. The foolish white man. sowing
seeds OF cunning and distrust, had
pushed the red man into a mightier
stronghold among the crags and
cliffs-but not before he had learned
the use of firearms. and had learned
also the lesson of killing for revenge.
| With this menace at their back. it is
/ no wonder that the territory of New
York grew in length rather than in
breadth. though, as early as 1860, q
handful of dauntless pioneers, led by
Arendt Van Curler or Brother Cor
laer," as the Iroquois Indians called
him. travelled up to Albany, through
what is known as Clinton avenue. I'm.
til reaching Norman's Kill they struck
a forest trail which led them to their
future home on a low plateau on the
banks of the Mohawk.-From Heroes
of the American Revolution" by Oliver
Clay.

Honest Man.

Annis Burke of the Claypool hotel
believes that Diogenes did not need a
lantern to find the proverbial honest
man. Burke discovered that individ-
ual when he received a letter from a
man in Louisville, who. several days
before, had been a guest at the Clay
pool.
In his letter the man explained that
when he left the hotel he had procured
what he thought was a pair Of his V
shoes from his cheekroom. He did not
notice that they were not his until he
got to Louisville. He then discovered,
he said, that the shoes he had obtained
were not his. but were a brand-new
pair, and worth at least so cents more
than his had been.
The guest said hat he desired to dc
the square thing with the a who
had taken his oyershoes, and offered tc
send the shoes back on receipt of the
necessary postage. Burke said hi

- n land ownership now represents
billions of dollars in land values which
constitute a positive bar to the getting
Of farm homes by landless farmers.
The question is frequently asked, IF
the farm Ioan act provides cheaper
money for land purchase, viii it not
make 1t easier for some men to get
credit TO ~monopolize land, increase
land values, make it harder for the
tenant farmer. and perpetuate and
broaden the tenant SYSTEM
Only for Actual Farmers.
The answer is that the privilege OF
borrowing under the farm loan act
is denied the landlord and the spec
ulator. Furthermore, the size of the
loans is limited to $4,000 to check
the tendency toward too large farms
and and monopoly.
So, 1t will be seen that the farm
loan act gives to the rich no additional
advantage In buying land, but does
give an added advantage 70 the land
less. 1t exerts its financial pressure.
and will always do so, in favor of ae-
tual working-farmer ownership and
against absentee la%ndlordism or the
holding of lands out of use for specu.
lative purposes.
But it has been frequently asked
how a credit system that lends only
up to 80 per CEN Of the value of the
land enables the tenant to buy a farm

To this MAJ the avenue for acquir
