Music u

Martha Atwood Baker. who gave a
song recital yesterday afternoon at
Aeolian Hall, is an unusual interpre-
tive artist, even though her voice is
uneven in quality and lacking in
natural color. Her best singing was
accomplished in the exceedingly diff
ficult "Poeme de L Armour ct de la
Mer' OF Chausson. In this she dis
played great delicacy and great emo
tional power, virtues which made pos
sible complete forgetfulness of her
to guard against eXaggeration Of senti-
ment, such as she showed in Wy
mans Spring Night" She is too fine
an artist to resort to such facetious
means.
Leopold Godowsky gave a piano re-
ctal in aid Of "The New York Sun"
Tobacco Fund last night at Aeolian
Hall. His programme was devoted ex-
clusively to the works of Chopin-the
B fiat minor sonata, SIX preludes, the
f minor nocturne, the A fiat valse,
three murzurkas, the A fiat impromptu
and B minor sonata.
To mark one Of the last of his CON
certs for the present season, Mr.. Stran-
sky gave a request" programme last
night at Carnegie Hall with the Phil
harmonic Orches ira. A group of Bach
pieces, Dvorak's New World" sym
phony, a bit of Debussy and Wagner,
ssousssea sed shs @1Sl2 Overture" were the works
This last had an almost religious sig
niticance to the audience, whose hearts
must have been burning with the CUES
ton: "Wiu Russia come back once
more as she did in 1922"
Though the substance Of the work is
archaic, though France is not this time
the enemy and the Gar is not the
hero, still the message was there, and
the triumphant finale was appla uded to
the very roof as the prophecy of VIC
tory.
In the afternoon at the Princess
Theatre Frances Pelton-Jones, gowned
N eighteenth century style, played a
delightful programme Of old music on
the harpsichord. Louise MacMahan
sang songs Of the period.

THE BREWERS PURSE
CIVILIZATIONS CURSE

The sordid STORY of the blight OF
liquor in politics, as well as in the
home, comes 10 light very often.
Ex-Governor Ferguson, of Texas,
was impeached for the misuse and the
squandeMng of the states money.
After he was checked out of office
he borrowed from an unknown source
some $r50,000 to settle part of the
shortage, and then ran for governor
again to ''vtndicate" himself.
He had previously been in harmo-
ny with she Equor interests and chose
a wet platform.
Last week the Texas women voted
for the first time, and Mr.. Ferguson
lest by nearly 100000 votes.
Then on the stand, rather thaA per
,lre himself a bag brewer confessed
that he with two other brewers had
kindly put up the $d50,000 without
security for FerguSon and further fl
naROed his campaign.

Editorial ANNOUNCEMENT

Beginning on the first day Of Sep
tember the subscription rate of the
Marietta Journal will be Two Dollars
per year, and it will be well worth the
price.
On the same date our advertising
rates will also be advanced to more
reasonable level, circulation being
considered.
Subscriptions that are paid in ad-
vance before September first for not
more than one year, will be received
at the present rate.
Those already paid in advance will
of course stand as they are. Also all
present advertising contracts will be
carried out as per contract.
We expect some reduction in ad-
vertising perhaps, but it will give a
cleaner better newspaper and more
room for news and other matters of
interest to our readers.
We expect to be able to devote
more time to the proper editing and
selecting the matter that goes into
our columns.
For several months we have la
bored under physical or mechanical
handicap in getting out such paper
as we believe our people want, but
we now feel safe in saying that we are
going to give you paper well worth
the price of two dollars per year.
1t is needless to recite at length all
the reasons for making the change,
but we might mention few.
Since the beginning of the war,
all the following items which go to
make up your newspaper, have ad-
vanced in cost. anywhere between
ten and three hundred per cent.
Paper, Ink, Oil, Gasoline, Rollers,
Metal, Machinery, Phone, kilograms,
Postage and Labor.
Not one single thing about the ma
king of. your paper, but what it has
advanced in price.
And some of the things will further
advance and even now the supply of
materials is getting lower each week.
In addition to all this the condition
of the markets has been such as to
reduce the amount of advertising
very greatly.
The government and all war COM
mittees are cheerfully given all the
available space in our columns, and
to the extent of our finances we have
contributed to all causes.
The Journal has always been a
good newspaper and it is now our
purpose to make it much better one,
one that you can not afford to do
without.
During August we can take your
subscription at the old rate, but for
not more than one year in advance.

TRYING TO PASS AN
UNCONSTITUTIONAL LAW


A bill was passed by the house last
week providing that an and after jan
uary /, 1919 the Solicitor-General of
the Blue Ridge Circuit should be paid
salary of Thirty-Five Hundred Dol
lars a year. This salary to be paid
in lieu of fees and to be prorated a
| mong the various Counties of the Cir
cult in proportion to their respective
population. The bill has gone to the
Senate but has not yet been passed
by that body.
We call attention to certain Con-
stitutional provisions which are ap-
plicable to this matter, Article 7, Sec
tion 6, paragraph 2, Code Sec. 1862.
Taxing power of counties limited.
The General Assembly shall not have
power to delegate to any county the
right to levy tax for any purpose,
except for educational purposes in in
structing children in the elementary
branches of an English education
only, to build and repair the public
buildings and bridges; to maintain
and support prisoners; to pay jurors
and coroners, and for litigation, puar-
antine, roads, and expenses of courts
to support paupers and pay debts
heretofore existing; to pay the coun-
ty police, and to provide for neces-
sary sanitation"
Under this Constitution pro
vision the County authoities would
not be authorized to levy tax for
the pay ment of the salary of the Sol
icitor-General in order to do it, the
Constitution would have to be am
ended, making this provision. We
quote again from the Constitution of
the State from Article 6, Section 13,
paragraph l, Code Sec. 6533, is as
follows: "The Solicitors-General
each shall have salaries not to ex-
ceed two hundred and fifty dollars
per annum."
Paragraph 2 of the same section
reads as follows: "How salaries may
be changed The General Assem-
bly, may at any time, by two-thirds
vote of each branch, prescribe other
and different salaries for any, or all
of above officers, but no such change
shall affect the officers then in COM
mission"
Under this provision of law the
salary of the Solicitor General Blue
Ridge Circuit, could not be chaged
before January I, 1921 as his COM
mission does not expire until that
time. In addition to the salary pre-
scribed in the article referred to the
the law to certain fees.
In 1916 the General Assembly
passed an Act to amend the Consti-
tuition which was ratified by the peo-
pie authorizing the General Assembly
to place. any or all the Solicitors
General on a salary, but this act al
so provided that it should not be eff
fectives to any Solicitor then in COM
mission; and in this last Act referred
to there is no provision by which tax
could be levied for the payment of
the salary.

NEGLECTED TO TAKE
HIS TEACHERS ADVICE

rs William J. Harris senatorial TIM
Der? There has recently been a great
deal Of discussion pro and con on the
subject in the newspapers of the state
as to whether "Baldy Bill'' Harris is
suitable senatorial timber.
Some Georgia editors who have on
ly known Bill for a short time, have
been misled by the glowing enco-
miums of himself that Bill is paying
to have printed in all the papers over
the state, and think Bill qualified to
wear the senatorial toga.
Because we know him, The Journal
has steadfastly maintained that Bill
would be as much out of place in the
august body of the U. S. Senate, as
kitten of the pole variety would be in
perfume factory.
He is without single real qualifl-
cation for the great office.
The Journal has recently come into
the possession of bit of information
which shows that it is not alone in
this belief, but that it was known and
shared by others many years ago.
More than 20 years ago, when Bill
was student at the State University,
he pursued, for time the study Of
that interesting subject, Chemistry.
AS the story goes, Prof. White, who
was the teacher of chemistry, deliver
ed lecture upon the values of the
different articles of food, saying that
a man should eat those things which
Would best fit him for the work in
which he is engaged. By way of illus
trating the point he said that man
who does hard manual labor should
eat peas, beans, red meat, bread, cab
bage and such foods as build up the
muscles; on the other hand man en-
gagged in brain work should eat fish,
eggs, and other such foods contain
ing PHOSPHORUS, which build up the
brain tissues.
After the lecture and the rest of
the class had left the room, Badly Bill
sidled up to Prof. White and said:
professor, l certainly have enjoyed
your lecture on foods; have been
very much impressed with what you
told US about the value of brain foods
and have decided to put myself on
a brain-food diet, and as l do not like
eggs, have decided to take up fish.
II would be glad if you would tell
me about how much fish l should be-
gin on"
The wise and kindly Professor,
smiling at Billy, replied': "Mr. Harris,
l think your decision a wise one, and
would suggest that you begin on at
least two whales a day."
The subsequent history of William
shows that he did not follow the
learned Professors advice, and The
Journal is convinced that this one of
the many reasons why he is not now
senatorial timber.
If he had persisteRtly followed the
advice of his teacher, and kept on in
creasing his daily quota of fish for
the last twenty-five years, it is pos
sible, although not probable, that he
would have acquired sufficient gray
matter to have been considered some
sort of senatorial timber, although
The Journal rises to remark that it
would have been exceedingly small
timber-hardly big enough to square
an inch.
In fact we heard man say that if
senatorial timber was saw timber, the
Bill Harris size would not be expen-
sive to get to the mill, one strong man
being able to carry off all the timber
on forty acre tract on one shoulder,
and not raise perspiration on hot
day in August.
