"rARs1FAL" IN ENGLISH.
New York WORLDLY +.

In deciding to, include ''Parsifal" in
English in the Metropolitan Opera
repertory the directors of that ad-
mirable institution have handled in a
common sense manner, a vexatious
problem.
The objections raised to the singing
Of German opera while we arc legally
at war with Germany have mainly
been aimed at the language, not the
music. Modern opera without War-
ner is somewhat like Hamlet" with
Hamlet's part left out: and as wag-
9 himself was in Germany, a Re:
publican, a revolutionist and a fuei-
tive. he need not corrupt our In.
peccable democracy.

WRONG

The main provisions of the consti-
tuition of the League Of Nations have
been set forth so fully and so often
that every person who can read has
had ample opportunity to become ia
miliar with them. Yet there are
many who have given them but a
curooy reading, and who, lacking
Information on the subject, are apt
to gain wrong Impressions from
statements containing only part Of
the truth when these are made with
great emphasis and an appearance OF
candor.
Many persons in Senator Johnson's
audience at the auditorium the other
night brought away from that meet
ing an entirely erroneous impression
OF What the league covenant actually
provides on two Of its most widely
discussed features.
One Of these impressions is that
because Great Britain, Canada, Aus
tralia, New Zealand and South Africa
and India are given membership In
the league, each with one vote, and
the United States 10 given member
ship. with burt one vote, the B-itiah
empire will WELD six times the power
in the league that the United States
has. and will be able to dictate the
actions and policies of this coun.ry
by combining the sx votes and thus
outvott1s us OF any proposition.
The other impression is that under
the much-discussed Article x, the
United states is pledged to maintain
the present Territorial and political
status of the world against ali com.
er, and may thus be drarxed
against her will into petty foreign
quarrels and domestic revolutions an
ove- the world, in which she has no
concern
As to the first objection, II need
only BE recalled that the league il
divided into two bodies, the a.
senbly. in which each member has
one vote, and the council. composed
Of nine members, each with one
vote; that the assembly exists for
the purpose of giving to all the
members an opportunity for the ex-
preston d. opinion and the creation
Eof sentiment on matters 81 interest.
but no administrative or executive
powers; that the real work 81. the
Elsasus q performed ~ the council;
Ethat IN that council Great B.itain
ana the United States, with the other
seven, viii have Just one vote each.

,,oN w. J. DRIVER CAN INMATE FOR CONGRESS.

RJ
 slr sDi' ronqress from the First lrp"lncressional lpl District, sub- Gvt9 iect to the Democratic pri- mary election.
 li'"I, Indge Driver is forty-seven rosrs old and was born and 9,eared in Mississippi County snd ,rrI democrat. He is a son of of Colonel John B. Driver, farmer president of the St. Francis Levee Board, and a arandson of the late Captain Charles Bowen, who died not many years ago at the ad- vanced age of 94. Captain Bowen was one of the old Oioneers, having landed in Mississippi County when Ark 2nsas was a territory and he was mere boy, and spent practically all of his long life among ussSRis name became househda Word in Missis- sppi Cou~ and to know him was t6 love him.
 His grandson, Judge w. J. Driver, the subject of this ketch, spent most of his boy Assd on the farm. He is fa- miliar with labor in the field, where he worked as a youth. He was educated in the com mon schools of Mississippi County, and when he became a man he entered the law office of Judge George w. Thomson, where he studied law and soon was admitted to the bar. He was immediately successful and within a few brief years built up a most lucrative practice, and was justly recognized by the bar of the statesas one of it's lead ing lightss.< He never laid down m effent and never shirke&his duty, even though that duty led down the path of unpopularity.
 In 1911 when a vacancy oc- cured in the office of Circuit Judge, he was unanimously nIdorsed for the position by the bar of the district. He accepted the appointment, nd ana Tn doing so gave up the law practice which paid him many m: times the salary of a Ircult Judge. For seven long years he sacrificed his own e personal interests to SefVe ;s1 fls people of this Judic- lsl District as their Circuit Tnuoge. On the bench, Judge pllver tIlI made a reputation mat mat will live long in the an- sas fs of the state, for being fair reariess re and able. He was s'. ssalely ever reversed by the eua, eupreme Court, and lawyers userywhere ma will agree that it s,;t "as a pleasure to try a law So sol' before him. Criminals wha, Goa1 learned to fear him, for eo,'7lI nmen they came into his to ~; <; lhe law was meted out wo,,,a mem in a manner that ,na nvuld {, make the criminal stop waa aru ehlnk before he commit con,+ nj no monkeying with his

Criminals either left the country or quit their mean ness. In fact, the last years that he was on the bench, when Crimianl Court would convene, the jails were prac- tically empty. Mention was made of the fact in these col umns more than once that his strict enforcement of the prohibition laws was respon- sible for saving many lives and to the tax payers thousands of dollars. No criminal can ever boast that he had a pull with Judge Drivers court. If he committed a crime, he got the hot end of it when he came before Judge Driver, no matter who he was or how much influence or money he had.
 Judge Driver is deservedly popular wlL44 all classes, al ways courtly and polite.
 If elected to Congress, he will make himself felt in the councils of the nation. The St. Francis Levee District will have a friend there who will always be on the job. Away back in 1897 and 1899 when Judge Driver was a mere boy in the legislature, he was re- sponsible for legislation af- fecting favorably the St. Francis Levee District, which has developed into an empire of wealth.
 The women are now allowed to vote and we call their at- tention to the fact that Judge Driver has always been their champion. He favored wom- an suffrage long before it be- came popular to do so. When he was on the bench he pro- tected the rights of the women to the utmost, and woe be unto the scoundrel who came into Judge Drivers court guilty of laying the hands ot violence upon a good woman.
 As he was an able and fear less judge, he will be an able, fearless and patriotic mem Der of Congress.
