Senator Harding is being credited
with having coined a new word. But
if the senator were consulted on the
subject probably he would deny all
responsibility for "bloviate." The word
was in frequent use a generation or
more ago. While it may have waned
in popularity for time, it never has
-lost its expressiveness. Some have
complained that they cannot find it In
the dictionary, but no dictionary Is
needed to make clear the meaning.

TROTKY SAYS INDUSTRY
NEEDS TO BE Modified
Masses of Unskilled Labor Require
Military Discipline to Produce
Most Fully.

MOSCOW, April 9.--Militarization
ia the only means to utilize fully
Russia's man power, said Leon
Trotzky, Bolshevik minister of war,
addressing the ninth convention of
the Communist party last night The
address was chiefly directed to de-
fining the relations OF the mobiliza-
ton of industry to the industrial re-
habthation OF Russia
'Afsbilization is more necessary
now than it. was formerly" he de-
clared, because we have to deal with
the peasant population and masses OF
unskilled labor which cannot be util-
lied to the fullest extent by any other
means than military discipline.
Trades unions are capable of organ
izing great masses Of qualified work.
ers but 80 per cent of the people
can be reached by this means"
Trotzky declared the working army,
built on the principle OF compulsory
work, is no less productive than was
the old system of competition and
came out in favor of personal rather
than collective administration. He
asserted that political administration
of railroads was unsatisfactory, but
was necessary because railroad work.
ers are more conservative than men
engaged in other branches or labor.
The general tenor OF the speech was
in support of Capitalization of power
in the hands of a strong government.

AMATEURS SHINE
IN THE M|KADO''
Famous Opera Revived With All
Its Charm by Peoples Ma
tionaI Opera Company.

Charming pictures OF color and de-
tail, scenes OF soft hued wistarla ana
symbols of fair Japan, were revealed
last night when the Peoples National
Opera Company. under Rollin Bond
gave the first OF three performances
OF Gilbert and Sullivan's dellghttul
opera. "The Mlkado," at Central Hlgh
school. This organization OF anna
teurs portrayed admirably the very
spirit OF the opera. They brought
forth spontaneous laughter in this In
imitable comedy and won the whole
hearted approval OF the audience.
The matter OF comedy Is difficult.
The lines, although they need more
force at times to "get them across,
made one welcome this renewal or
the delicious humor or the book. the
subtle wit or broad satire that brings
the lasting quality into the lifting
music with which the score abounds
Opera Keeps Its Charm.
Whether to old friends or new. the
gems OF "The Mikado" have lost none
OF their charm. Many there were who
were hearing this opera for the first
time. Its delicate beauty-for the
stage was at all times picture-and
it's absence OF the bizarre or risque
upon which our youth is fed. brought
refreshing comment from the hearers.
Legitimate comedy. free from offense,
but full of fun. was as welcome as
it's perennial Flowers that bloom in
the spring"
The cast introduced an excellent
Nanki-Poo in NJ. ii. stevens, whose
lyric tenor gave the wandering
Minstrel" In solo and concerted work
a prominent place in the production.
To- IyIlintt IA Lord High EN-
ecutioner was irresistibly funny, al
though he needs to be better heard,
while the Pooh-Bah OF Brooke Amiss
was haughtily. and vocslly. very
good.
Estelle Murray was a sweet-voiced
and dainty YUM Yum. Florence Win
ter revealed a very effective voice
and real spirit and charm az Pitti-
Sing, and Genevieve Bond completed
an attractive group for the Three
Little Maids, Elaine Sebring Ford
as Katisha made this role the double
hued one OF tragic comedy and droll-
cry. Charles Moore as the Mikado
was excellent, and his unnamed ''re-
tainer" gave a character sketch OF
distinction. Frederic Miller complet-
ed a well-balanced cast.
SpIrited Zest In Perform ance.
The opera went or without hitch,
in good time, and with spirited xest,
bringing credit to directors and per-
sonnet
The members Of the chorus sang
well, looked well. and always were
In the picture. They were letter per-
feet and q very enjoyable group at
all times. To the entire effect the
charm of scene and costume added
much. The orchestra, less balanced,
as a whole, still gave the little opera
its setting, and to know "The Mika-
do" as given at Central High, will
acquaint the many with the imper-
ishable charm that has made it live
happily through the years.
