Artistas de BracaIe
AIbertina CaSSani

Entire las artistas notables que nos
presentara el maestro Bracale Ell la
proxima temporada de opera, figura
segln dijimos va, Albertina Cassani,
soprano hgera de inestimable merito
Y que, hasta hace POGO, obtuvo senala-
dos triunfos ell los principales teatros
de Italia. Recientemente entusiasmo a
la culta ciudad de Placenza, con su ad-
mirable Interpretation de la, "Gilda'
de "Rigoletto''. He aqui 10 que ese
respecto dice ell peri6dico LA Liber-
tad, de aquella poblacion:
Protagonista de la opera verdiana
ha sido la Cassani, que ha resultado una
protagonista ideal. Temperament de
artista en- ell verdadero sentido de la
palabra, infunde a la fgura de. "Gil-
da' una gran passion communicative,
dentro de la caracteristica de ingenui-
dad, que Sc sobrepone. Pero no vence
a la passion, EN- un plano de exquisite
equilibrio, que hace que la creacion dra-
matica viva y palpite EN- la escena. A
esta cualidad de interprete con que ami
ma Ia parte dc "Gilda", une la Sc
fora Cassani excelentes virtudes de
cantante La voz es bella, fresca, de
mecanismo irreprochable y suma agili-
dad, esmaltada por hermoso timbre,
Que acaricia, por decirlo asi, la incom-
parable mdsica de Verdi, y cuya ad-
mirable entonacion produce los mas gra-
tos efectos EN- los oyentes. La Cassani,
pues, reune la esplendida voz que la
naturaleza lie ha dado, la bravura de
la cantante las cualidades de una
musicista consumada. Oirla es un placer
no menor que ell de admirarla como
actriz.''
Como es sabido que los periodicos de
Italia, especialmente los que no per
tenecen al numero de los organos tea
trales, no pueden prodigar elogios a
los cantantes, sino cuando estos los me-
recen, los que hemos traducido del inn
portante diario de Piacenza, justif-
can cuanto EN- otros periodicos habia-
mos leido respecto a la joven soprano,
a quien, dentro de unos dias, tendre-
mos el gusto de escucharla EN- ell tea
tro de San Juan, bajo los auspicios
del maestro Bracale, que esta vez, CO.
mo siempre, dejara bien alta su fama
de empresario inteligente y honrado,
que no acostumbra ofrecer al publico
10 que despues no puede cumplir.''
Albertina Cassani Sc presentara ell
la pr6xima temporada de opera que Sc
efectuara en- ell teatro, en- ell mes de
julio, interpretando ell papel de Gil
da,'' de ''Rigoletto.''

Problems for the Peace Table.

A league of nations to sustain the peace that
will be produced at Versailles is being widely
advertised. Such league entails much of
genuine perplexity for its projectors and
thoughtful advocates Greatest OF these will be
to locate the nations How serious this under
taking will be is indicated by the aspirations of
some of the recently revived members of the
family. Take Poland, for example. Dismem-
bered, parcelled out among its conquerors, the
country had disappeared from the map and ex-
listed only in the hearts of faithful people
Fortunes wheel brings it to the surface again,
and what do we discover? 1t is the premier
of resuscitated Poland speaking:
desire to see Poland inhabited only by
Poles. | do not favor giving special au-
tonomy and schools to the Jews, but do be-
leve in giving them civic rights if they per-
formed their civic duties. Territorially we
want what is ours ethnographically We do
not want what is German or Ukranian, but
think that Lithuania is ours in this sense.
To get the full significance OF this naive
declaration, keep in mind the fact that the
Lithuanians look forward to being re-estab-
lished as a national entity, enjoying all the
powers and privileges bestowed on Poland,
Also, that the Jews ask to be relieved of the
oppression under which they have lived for
generations in Poland.
"Liberty's glorious feast" but it must be
freely shared or it ceases to be liberty Some
disappointment has been felt that the first use
the Poles are making of their freedom is to
indulge in pogroms and plan for territorial ag-
grandizement but the peace conference may be
able to cure SOME of these notions. At any rate,
when the delegates come to rearrange the map
of Europe, they will tackle some job

Contrast Between War Leaders.

One aspect of the recent election in Great
Britain may have escaped public notice. At
the outset, when Lloyd George made his appeal
to the country on his war record, certain demo-
cratic organs tried to set up parallel between
the course of our president and that Of the Brit
ish premier. So far as making an appeal to the
country for endorsement goes, they acted alike
The difference. however, is as important as it is
simple. When Lloyd George overturned the
Asquth ministry, he did it on plea for coali-
ton. He wanted all parties in the United King
dom to be represented in the cabinet and have
share in the conduct of the war. When he went
to the voters, he went with plea for coalition,
and won. Our president resolutely declined to
hear any suggestion that he form coalition
cabinet, insisting that as he was elected by a
party he must recognize only that party, max
ing the great adventure of the war as far as pos
sible partisan enterprise. When he issued his
appeal to the voters he asked for a democratic
congress, and was defeated. The people took
the first opportunity to express disapproval of
the extreme partisan course pursued in the ad-
ministration of our government during the war
The moral is plain.

IMPROVEMENT IN LEGISLATIVE
METHODS.

Senator Cordeal's comment on the antiquat-
ed system for making laws still in vogue in Ne
braska deserves careful consideration, for it
comes from wisdom born of experience His
service in the legislature has given him ae-
curate knowledge Of the shortcomings and
dangers of the methods and his suggestions for
improvement, therefore, command attention
He has plan, simple enough and within the
scope of the constitution, whereby much of the
present complication can be avoided. This con-
templates the appointment of special COM
mittee, with competent counsel, to examine all
bills presented for the purpose at least of fixing
their status as to constitutionality and the form
of their construction. Such committee would
not interfere with the right of any lawmaker to
introduce as many bills as he wishes, nor would
it limit him as to topics covered. But it would
save an immense amount of time for the other
committees, by sending them measures properly
drafted and with an indication at least of their
validity and workabiity. Such help certainly
would be appreciated by the experienced legis-
lators, while the newer ones would soon learn
the advantage of the plan. So long as our de-
votion to democracy requires that no limit be
placed on the propensity for revising old and
making new laws, we ought to welcome any
change in the system that might bring about
laws better worded and so phrased that courts
would not be baf1cd in their Interpretation.

PeOple and Events

Down in Columbia, S. c., where booze may
be had by sick people. 1898 sick permits were
issued in one day before Christmas. Medical
circles class the rush as an extraordinary flew
epidemic.
Wireless telephony is coming by leaps ard
waves. The progress being made promises the
telephone companies early relief from the wor-
ries of copper wire prices and the drain OF wire
down in stormy weather.
Technical engineers on the payroll of Chi
cago are making loud noise because, in in
stances they pull down less money than url-
skilled laborers. Nothing new about that. In
Chicago and elsewhere it is not unusual to find
members of working gang drawing more
money individually than the boss.
An inkng of the wealth lost by the joblesS
male waiter developed in the case OF woman
strike breaker in New York. In six weeks she
saved 1924, which she banked in her bed where
the roll was found by maid and turned in to
the Office. "It's my Christmas money" ex-
claimed the owner. "I've been saving my tips for
six weeks"
Some grades of music fail to soothe savage
aoul even on Christmas morning. Down in
Kansas City one John Sterling, e. objected to
the jazz notes of his step-daughter's phono-
graph, as unsuited to the day, and started his
own rival music box. In the argument which
lolloWe-:, Sterling emphasized point by throw
ing flower pot which landed on the step
daughters brow, cracking her skull. The latter
crawled to nearby table, picked up small pis-
tol and peppered dad to a dead finish. Step
daughter went to the hospital and stepdad to the
morgue, suspending the argument indefinitely.

Hold Your L1bertg Bonds

There are various explanations for weaken
ed Liberty bond prices. More people are dis
posed to sell than to buy other securities, and
they are weak. Many subscribers to the last
Liberty loan took more than they could easily
carry and have been unloading. Others in
temporary need of funds have found these
bonds the readiest means of getting the money
Still others are following the rule of selling what
there is the best market for in order to protect
holdings for which the market is weak.
This last is point the average small govern
ment bondholder should keep in mind. Weak
as may be the market for Liberty bonds, it is
stronger than any other part OF the securities
market Furthermore. other securities are weak
on the uncertainties of the immediate future.
which no one can read with accuracy when all
Europe is PROSTATE from the great war.
But the future as to these Liberty bonds all
can read with certainty except the fractional
fluctuations in price from day to day. The bonds
will be paid to the last penny of their par value
The interest will be paid as the coupons mature
This is as sure as that the republic and its gov
eminent will endure for some little time to
come
Hold your Liberty bondsl Then the market
price will matter nothing to you. 1t is hurting
only those who insist on selling out.-New
York World.
