Mayor Short was preacher given
TO sensational methods when he was
elected mayor OF Sioux City He has
consistently sought to carry those SEN

THE SPREAD OF MUSIC.

In an interview printed in Musical America
Joseph Bonnet, the great French organist, tells
of his establishment at the musical appreciation
he found in comparatively small communities
in this country. In cities of no great popua-
ton he found good organs to play on and pub
lie interested in his programs, the standard OF
which he has not lowered during his two years
of concertizing in this country. Moreover, he
says the people Of these small cities are intelli-
gent about music and know the work Of modern
performers. NJ. Bonnet's surprice may be
shared by some of the people who have not
NOTED the spread of musical knowledge within
the past few years.
Credit for musical education of the people
belongs in no small measure to a mechanical
means. It is the reproducing machine that has
pervaded the homes of the land. And just as
is always true, hearing music constantly means
the hearing of better music as time progresses.
Music is not mystery; it is not beyond the
knowledge of intelligent people who have no ex-
ipertness in performance although, on the con-
trary, it is little known to some people who
have such experiences The reproducing ma
chine has had it's demonstrating agents; from
these sources the public has had opportunity to
hear music of all sorts and taste has developed.
And, best of all, the standard of performance
is bound to rise as the result of this discrimna-
ton. Music teachers will be forced to pro-
Judged by results measured more and more ac-
curately as people hear music well performed
daily in their homes.

According to the New York Sun, the presi-
dent was forced to call the extra session be-
cause the railways, the wire service, the express
companies the shipbuilding department and the
war risk bureau were In desperate need of funds.
And on top Of this hundreds of millions of I'M,
paid war bills were in and pouring in daily and
there were no moneys with which to meet them.
1t was thus the sore financial straits in which
the government found itself which compelled
the president to call the session he declared
that he would not call until he came back, and
that he would not be back until it was all over
