symphony Orchestra Will Make
Its First Appearance.
Rehearsal at Auditorium at
1880 Is Announced.
ONE PIECES WILL PLAY
Large Turnout of Topekans Is
Looked For.
Classic, Semi Classic and Popu-
lar Music Promised.

Topeka will have a chance to see
her own symphony orchestra in course
of manufacture at the auditorium to-
morrow afternoon at 1870 o'clock.
Technically it is called a rehearsal, but
in reality it is the first concert in
Topeka of the Topeka Symphony or
chestra.
The plan for the Topeka Symphony
orchestra is being fostered by a num-
Der of prominent Topekans both men
and women who believe that some
small part of the more than $4,000
annual expenditure of Topeka for for
cign talent musical entertainment
could be just as well and profitably
spent in the organization and conduct
of home talent orchestra.
Has Fifty-one Pieces
The orchestra as it will appear to-
morrow afternoon is a full orchestra
of fifty-one pieces. 1t will play all
kinds of music, classic, semi-classic
and popular. It is an orchestra of the
common people, an organization form
ed primarily for the giving of pleasure
to Topeka and secondly for the de-
velopment of whatever musical talent
the capital city may hold.
1t is pointed out in connection with
this symphony orchestra that nearly
all VI the great musicians OF the age
are products of the small towns and
cities. Many of them got their first
start in the musical world and took
the first step to international fame on
the orchestras of their home cities.
Place in Music World.
The men behind this movement to
give Topeka great symphony or
chestra of her own see no particular
reason why this city should not take
the place to which she is entitled in
the world of music as well as in the
world of commerce and finance.
It is expected that there will be a
big turnout of Topekans for the con-
cert tomorrow afternoon. for, after
all. it is upon the people of Topeka
rather than upon a few men and wo-
men backing it that the ultimate sue
cess of the Topeka Symphony orches-
ira must depend

and that shortly afterward her hus-
band refused to continue with it and
that she had been since keeping up
the payments, herself She declared
that Hoover had a Buick car, in
which he was threatening to take his
belongings and leave town. Her, re-

ton to set aside. the order, sa&ing he
had lost his job with the Underwood
people but that he had a position with

that often took him out of the state
and that he had to use his car to hold
his job. The order was set aside, but
the court ordered him to pay Mrs.
Hoover $25 a month during the pend
ency of the suit.

Power of Publicity.

Delay in getting action on Secretary Lanes
plan to provide farms for returned soldiers
has caused some surprise. 1t seemed to be a
good thing and certainly the nation whole
was anxious to do so much to show its appre-
citation of the services rendered by its sons.
Other countries were doing much more. But
somebody was putting sand in the gearbox and
legislative machinery failed to function.
Now Mrs. Haviland Lund of New York tella
the house public lands committee that she has
been responsible for the propaganda which has
been holding things back. She is secretary
of the Forward to the Land league, whatever
that is, and she hired a newspaperman for a
paltry $50 to write the press matter for her.
If the incident does nothing more it will
give us a new illustration of the power of pub
licity artfully applied by one who knows how.

There are now running at large in this
country an indefinite number of uplift organ
izations trying busily to convince people that
their ways are wrong and to induce them to
adopt different system. 1t is annoying, of
course, to be pestered by them, but so long as
they are spending private funds no real wrong
is perpetrated. The people and do with

It is a different matter.
A lot of the uplift and educational propa-
