this, bill and to point its dangers4out
Ito the people. From the meeting at
Columbia and the campaign launched
by The Herald sentiment rapidly crys-
,taAzed against the bill, until in the
mass meetings Monday its doom was
sssealed
This again demonstrated the value
to the public of an independent. fear
less journal, ever on the alert where
thesinterests of the people are involv-
led. 1T is the high mission Of news,
paper to serve the public interest.
When, ii fails to do this, when it Is
too cowardly or too Indifferent to,
have any public policy there is abso-
elutely no reason for its existence.
There. are newspapers in Tennessee,
not many but unfortunately number,
that exist merely to make money.
They never have had and never will
have any editorial policy. They have
never had any part in the creation OF
any sentiment that made for better
Living conditions. They cannot point
to single achievement where the
public has been the beneficiary. Some
of the papers of this class have made
money but the public has never profit
ed by ii. They are never on the watch
tower where the interests of county,
state or nation are involved, but they
are always and eternally after "busi-
ness"
The newspaper that does no public
service, that does not courageouslN
dedicate its talent and its efforts to
the service of all the people, that
does not have part in creating senti-
maant imoyements that will rebound
ito. the publes gooq,s that does not ad-
wise and counsel with the.PeoRle,w whom
itsseryes sas-to their duty inyppblic at,
fairs. is simply parasitee 5ladl ss seerry5
ing the. patronage sor onfidepee9of the
community. When The, Herald sinks
to that leyell4 when it's oplys interest
cepters AROUND the counting ROOM,
then it expects to discontinue spgblica-
tien. Its many many sand Long battles f for
better things its earnest and disinter-
ested efforts to prove the safe and
wise counsellor of the people of this
section have cost it much in. dollars,
but it would not exchange the salts
faction which it has from contem-
,pltation of duty well done, for double
the income of any journal in the land.
It's service is without price, and yet a
DISCERNING public should understand
that it takes money and heaps of it to
rpp q PUBLIC journal like The Herald,
and when legitimate patronage is TO he.

Augustana Basso
in First Recital
Delights Hearers

In his first Rock Island appear
ance in recital program Gustaf
Holmquist. basso. head of the vocal
school of Augustana conservatory
of music, last evening at the col
lege chapel fully sustained and add
ed new laurels to his fame as a
singer gained on previous appear
ances as oratorio soloist. Every
number he sang was vocally and
artistically worthy of the instant
appreciation it received. Mr.. Holm
quist brings to the presentation OF
fine music the graces of musician
ship intellect poetry and imagina-
| ton for, besides singing as a good
singer, he truly interprets what he
sings.
His program was varied and well
I arranged and gave ample scope to
display to the best advantage the
qualities of a voice of wide range
and of unusual timbre, evenly de-
veloped, the low tones having the
same carrying power noticeable in
the higher register.
Three Handel numbers of classic
beauty introduced the program 4:
Hear Me, Ye Winds and Waves,
"Wher'er You Walk" and 80, Rud-
der Than the Cherrie" (Acis and
Galatea), and were sung with a
distinctive technic A group OF
four Swedish songs followed and
were: "At Eventide" (GrondahD
King Heimer and Little Aslog
(Soderman), when the Starry
Hosts Are Shining" (Korling)' and
tine Chimney Sweep" Oindblad)
all of which compositions gave
good chance for beautiful singing.
Four English compositions fol-
lowed and are: Morning and Ev-
ening" (Spross), "Salutation of the
Dawn" (Stevenson), when
Bring Colored Toys" (Carpenter)
lie Tambour Major" (Thomas).
OF these Mr. Holmquist sang es-
pecially we'll "SaIutation of the
Dawn" bringing out with careful
beauty the qualities of the compo-
sition. Other numbers on the pro-
gram we're: Sverige" (Stenham-
mari; "Titania" (Jarnefelt) /;
"Uret" Ooewe); ''Hostsang" pet
erson-Berger).
ituals were excellently given: Il
Don't Feel No-ways Tired" bur
leigh. Nobody Knows De Trouble
I've Seen" (Burleigh), 'Dah's
Gwinter Be er Lan'slide" (Strick-
land).
In the last number Damrosch's
Danny Deever," he proved himself
to be the possessor of notable his
tricnic as we'll as vocal ability,
showing to good advantage his
voice of unusual sorority and
quality, vibrant and telling, and
he was unsparing in its use. Mr..
Holmquist commands a hearty
smooth tone which is delightfully."-
true and even and he emits his
tones in a way which is a lesson to
aspiring singers. His enunciation
is peculiarly clear and distinct and
satisfying.
Arvid Samuelson was at the
piano and gave Mr. Holmquist sup
port that was a real delight. Es-
peCially beautiful was his accom-
paniment of the Soderman number
wherein were initiated the tones of
a harp with a great nicely.
