when the then-existing rules seriously
hnfnpered their form Of expression.

A LOT of nonsense is heard nowadays
"A about throwing away the rules
which hamper the genius" of the ultra
modern composers, no matter from which
country they come. II is true that rules
have been broken In the past by great
composers, but II was only after these
men had written strictly according to
these rules for a long time. and even
then the rules of form were maintained
TO point where an auditor could tell
at first hearing whether he was listen
ing to a movement in sonata form, a
rondo or any other of the various ac-
cepted forms.
There is not on record, to the best Of
the writer's recollection, a single in
stance of really great composer dis
cardling utterly the rules OF composition
at so early an age Gas a composer) as
Is done by the present-day musical
Bolsheviki.
Breaking rules IS not to be condemned
per ne, but before It can be safely done a
thorough mastery of them must be
shown, and this mastery Is not always
revealed in much of the present-day
modernistlo writings.
DEs1DEs, it is by no means clear that
d the resources of the classical form
have as yet been entirely exhausted.
Wagner, Il IL said. refused to write a
symphony In his mature years because.
he claimed, Beethoven had said the last
word possible in this form Of music.
This was accepted as Gospel. but al
most a quarter OF a century later came
Brahms and Tschaikowsky with sym
phoric works which. at the present time,
appear to be permanent additions to the
list of the worlds great symphonies.
Only time can tell whether the ultra
moderns are right or wrong. That there
In a germ Of good in what they are
doing, or rather in what they are at
tempting to do. there can be no doubt,
but from their musical recklessness ard,
most of all, in their lack of a recognize

judged by present standards, may be
regarded almost as musical alteration.

How Dry?

Two months ago Rock Island voted itself dry.
For about month now it has assumed that it
dry the assumption being based on nothing stronger
than the that it had not been proved otherwise
Lately however. things have transpired which have
cast some doubt as the degree of local aridity.
For thing, certain of the present soft drink

tinued to enjoy surprising patronage. while the
animation Of the patrons has frequently well

been expected. Perhaps they not as bad. As q

The Lesson of a Drowning.

Two needs are revealed by the drowning in the
clear water basin the city reservoir last evening
One is for training in the of the pulmotor and
the other for more adequate fencing of the water
basins.
1t is not the first time this spring that the pull
motor has been taken to the scene of a drowning
only to find when too late that present knew
how to operate it. The other occasion that in
which a child lost in the canal. Certainly the
lesson OF the first failure should have been sufficient
If there was any excuse then there last
night. Official incompetence in some quarter seems
evident If the pulmoter is a practical device have
somebody trained to use it If it is not why waste
precious moments with it when life hangs in the
balance?
Means of keeping children and others from the
basins at the reservoir cannot be provided except
at considerable expense. There is fairly good
fence about the basin where the accident occurred
but it might be improved upon, and certainly
sort of should be erected around the of
the plant Unless this is done there will always be
danger Of fatalities.

Do not be too hasty in forming conclusions either
way with reference to the railroad shopmen who
have struck at a time when their services vitality
needed and in the face of promises from the railroad
administration to give their cause fair hearing
unquestionably there is a misunderstanding some
where.
Just what it is and how it about is not clear
at the present time. However. the existing situa-
ton can be explained on no other grounds. 1t will
not be surprising if found that the msapprehen
sion extends to both sides of the controversy.
1t is known that a great deal of disappointment
has been caused in some quarters over the manner
in which recently announced wage advances for
railroad men worked out. In many cases, the in
crease, being based upon wages paid three years
ago. amounted to less than the men actually re-
ceiving now. A good many Of the workers failed to
understand this at the time time the announcement
was made. They took the table giving the percent
ages and figured out what they supposed they indi-
viduaIIy were to receive. Later they learned that
they had made a mistake ard they jumped to the
conclusion that trick had played them,
Just as they have been hoodwinked before when the
roads were under private management.
On other hand it is conceivable that the rail-
the possibilities for Misunderstanding at the time
the new wage schedules announced A
explicit statement then, dealing frankly with all
phases of the question might have averted later
pleasantness
Undoubtedly there was good reason to base wage
increases the rate of pay received in 1915 Pos
sibly complete statistics of recent date
not available. At any rate inequites bound to
result from any adjustment that could be made These
the railroad administration has already made pro-
vision to deal with In such a vast undertaking it
takes time carry results down to the individual.
IN various ways, however, those in charge of the
situation have manifested their fairness and nten-
ton TO deal justly by everybody.
The railroad shopmen, may be sure, would
not have taken their present action had they under
stood the facts situation clearly enough They
may have been hasty without doubt there is mis-
understanding. At the same time they in better
position to judge whether they justified, from
their own standpoint, than the rest of us are.
i. And do not overlook the opportunities for mis-
on the other side of the question.

Mrs. Burns claims that the convey
