opposition prepared to stay on their

either they or the advocates Of the

not Bourbons, for it is said that "A

been forced to learn since the six

All the Senate really did yesterday
was to pass a bill<giving San Juan,
Porto Rico, the privileges Of a first
class port OF entry. This was done
in about two minutes. 1t may be
OF some advantage in helping to
make our Porto Riean possessions"
safe for something or other. As we
own them, we may decide what it
ought TO be.
After three attempts, the House
finally succeeded in adjourning at a
quarter of eight o'clock. with the
supporters OF Postmaster General
Burleson apparently triumphant and
his opponents making open charges
of fraud in the count which left
them on record as defeated. AS the
record stands the House rejected the
Senate's offer OF compromise on the
purchase Of the pneumatic tube sys-
tenn. The compromise, adopted by
the Senate on the report OF its own
conference committee, would eontin-
ue the appropriation for using the
tubes, while giving the Interstate
Commerce Commission opportunity to
investigate other issues. The House
conferees on the postal appropriation
bill reported agreement with this
conditional surrender OF the Senate.
After a complicated struggle. the
vote was announced as a tie, 149 to
14s. The Speakers vote in the af-
nrmative seemed to have ended the
deadlock and settled the issue. The
vote was challenged. The ayes
thought they had gained one vote on
the recount. and as arst announced.
It stood Isl to $50. As finally an
nounced. 1t was 140 to $50, rejecting
the conference report and supporting
the Postmaster General. His sup
porters broke into cheers. A clerk
OF the other side claimed the vote
was really $50 to 14s. For nearly an
hour later. the House was stubborn
ly attempting and refusing to ad-
journ. with no quorum present. Those
who claimed they have been sig
gered." think they will know more
today.
The House also sent the river and
harbor bill and the naval appropria-
tons bill back to conference. The

10 come AZ once 70 the point OF
what the Senate did yesterday and
why it did It, commit to memory this
maxim by United States Scna- n John
Sharp Williams of Mississippi: "In
order that there may be liberty, there
must be equality
Hence, ifG am your superior. you
can have no. liberty I object TO, and
your natural condition is one Of
peonage.'
Compare with this what United
States Senator Brandegee OF Con-
necticut yesterday protested as com
plete agnosticism concerning the
nature Of moral rights" He does
not know what they are He does
not know that the Fifteenth Amend
ment ought to have been advocated
by his own party to represent re-
suits OF the civil war. He wished to
know il just government derives its
powers from the consent OF the gov
erned in the Philippine Islands
John Randolph was one OF the most
excellent men Virginia ever sent to
Congress. Few States haye sent men
more excellent. No State. not even
during the twentieth century, has
sent a more typical Bourbon. When
between 1920 and 1880, with james
Madison in the chair OF the Virginia
constitutional convention, II was pro-
posed to extend suffrage to a consid-
cradle number OF white Virginians,
not T. F. VS., some OF whom in what
is now West Virginia had little or
nothing except their hunting shirts
to their backs, John Randolph led
the fight of the lowland tobacco
barons" to prevent it He did not
think these sweaty plebeians his
equals, and he did not want them to
vote. He said, among other things
almost equally striking, that IL gov
eminent was to be based merely on
the count of numbers, a negro boy
with a barlow knife and a stick
notched to keep the tally had all that
was necessary for statesmanship.
From then until now every genuine
Bourbon. seeing himself raised above
the majority OF the human race, has
been Of the opinion that the fewer
OF them who take part in govern
ment, by the ballot or otherwise, the
better. Why should they, when there
is no liberty without equality, and II
is the special business OF supermen
to decide what is to be done with the
earning power, the lighting power,
and the lives OF the rest-of all races,
ages, and sexes.

u. s. Commissioner of Education
Recognizes Need For Music In
Public Schools.

One of the high officials in the
United States who is giving a good
account of himself is Hon. Philander
r. C~laxton, commissioner of educa-
ton. While intensely practical, he
Is not allowing the finer side Of edu-
cation to be lost in the background.
He has long believed that there can
be no right education without music.
He is on record with the statement
that after reading, writing and arith-
metic and the beginnings OF those
practical things that everyone must
haye today. music is the next most
practical study. Recognizing that in
The home, in the church, in the So
cial evenings, at every gathering we
all urn to music, it becomes neces-
sary to give the people "A knowledge
of it and instruction in 1t to get the
best results. There is only one way
to accomplish this" said the com
missioner, and the public schools are
the means we have chosen"
1t is proposed to advance musical
instruction in the schools by a ma
tional campaign similar to that which
developed the field of agriculture In
the United States. They are going
to make a survey of music in the
public, high and private schools;
ascertain the difficulties in the way:
md out how many and how we'll
teachers are qualified to teach music
to beginners; get information on the
methods employed in other count2ses;
formulate a plan for obtaining effic-
lent teachers; in short. to get at all
the facts and needs. To embark on
a general scheme OF music in all the
schools, 1t is understood the United
States T+RnrfIrA~ Or ma .-.- AA.-.
for teaching music in It's elementary
stages.
IN explaining this immense pro-
1ect to a gathering of musicians
Commissioners Claxton said II have
this suggestion to make to YOU. First
that we shall all unite TO interest the
people, from bottom to top, in THIS
great subject Of music in the schools,
- -usIc IN the community. and
The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1918-06-16

that we shall not undertake to do II
merely by school officers and schoo'
teachers, but that many musicians
like yourselves, those who sing. those
who Join in great orchestras. those
who conduct them. those whose pro.
fession is music. those whose sou Il
nlled with il, those who know this
importance of 1t. those who have In
