MARGARET ROMA|NE. IN SECOND CONCERT
Beautiful Young Metropoli- tan Prima Donna to Ap-
 pear Here In April

Following the brilliant success of the opening concert of the all-star concerts in February with Freda Hempel as the star. the second concertin the series win take place on Monday evening, April iz with beautiful Margaret Romaine the young American Prns Donna of tho Metropolitan opera and Angeloi Cortese. liant programme.
 Though we have heard much in recent years of the prejudice against young American singers. which undoubtedly has existed in our operatic institutions, tho change in this respect which has come about during the last taree seasons has resulted in the discover. of but two Americans who have won laurels at the Metropolitan opera house. These two American girls are Margaret Romaias and Rosa Ponseiie.
 Margaret Romaine gained her engage ment at the Metropolitan because of hec lovely voice, her great intelligence and surpassing beauty; one 6f the principal reasons why she has succeeded where so many other have failed is undoubtedly because she is thorough musician. So many singers manage without knowl- edge of even the fundamentals or music that when one appears who, in addition to the other requisites, possesses a thor ough knowledge of his subject, coupled with intellectuaIity,4 he is bound to meet with immediate success
 This has been the case with Margaret Romaine. Her rise to fame in her own country has been meteoric. She comes Of well known musical family in Utah, but was sent abroad sor her education at the age of [. and at that early age began to play the cello, for which she had great fondness. she made great progress in her study of this instrument and was about to embark upon prom ising carer as celiist. when it was dis- covered she was the possessor of so- prano voice of extraordinary power. brt'- Iiance and beauty, and she was advised to abandon her plans and undertake. vocal studies.
 Nothing more lovely can be tmagined tahn an exquisite voice like Miss Ro- n aine's in conjunction with the virtuosity of MT. Cortese on the harp.

CAUSED BY LEAGUE

Blood Battles in Progress Between
Countries Alleged to Be

In his speech at Grand Rapids few
days ago Franklin d. Roosevelt, the
Democratic candidate for Vice Presi-
dent declared that the League of Ma
tions was actually accomplishing
things. POLAND and Lithuania have
accepted the good offices of the
League" the Democratic candidate de-
clared and Sweden and Finland had
agreed to let the League council settle
their dispute. "This Is pretty good
record for the so-called Fraud" de-
clared Mr.. Roosevelt.
But the facts in the case entirely
dispose Of the claims made by the
Democratic Roosevelt.
On the very day and at the very
hour that he was jubilant over an
alleged accomplishment by the League
of Nations the Lithuanians and the
Poles were engaged in bloody conflict.
"One of the bloodiest battles in the
series OF wars now on in Europe"
both suffering heavy losses the dis.
patches say.
And the Democratic candidate for
Vice President could have further ex-
planned that Finland was compelled to
submit its controversy with Sweden
to the League of Nations. Finland in.

a part of that country for period
of time so extended as to make Swed.
ems claim wholly unjust.
It was also protested by Finland
that the question was domestic prob
lem and not one that the League of
Nations should have any jurisdiction
over. But because Finland was weak
and helpless the League of Nations
officials arbitrarily asserted authority
over the question and compelled its
submission.
And these are the two victories

CAMPAIGN ISSUES
REPRESENTED BY
SEN. TOWNSEND
ELOQUENT DEFENSE OF POSITION
OF REPUBLICAN PARTY IN
PRESENT GREAT CONTEST
LEAGUE OF NATIONS A MENACE
Condensed Review of Key Note Speech
by Michigan's Senior Senator at
Republican State Convention

One of the strongest and best pre-
sentations of the issues involved in the
presidential campaign thus far ex'
pressed in this state were included in
the address of Sena, or Chas.- E.-Towns'
end before the Republican State Con
vention at Saginaw.
Never in the history Of this Re-
public" said Senator Townsend, did
a more serious or more important
duty rest upon its citizens than the
one involved in the present national
campaign. l say this after an ex'
perience with events such as this gov
ernment has never before known.

WILSON NOW ASKS
ANOTHER VERDICT
FOR WHOLE WORLD
He WILL GET MORE IMPRESS
SlVE ANSWER THAN GIVEN
HIM TWO YEARS AGO

President Wilson concluded his re-
cent appeal in behalf of the League of
Nations covenant with this statement:
"The whole worc will wait for
your verdict In November as it
would wait for an intimation of
what its future Is to be-"
1t will be recalled that just two
years ago this month President Will
son addressed a somewhat similar
appeal to the American people. In
that challenge of two years ago Pres
ident Wilson included this statement:
"If you have approved of my
leadership and wish me to con-
tnue to be your spokesman in
affairs at home and abroad, l
earnestly beg that you will ex-
press yourselves to that effect by
returning a Democratic majority
to both the Senate and the House
of Representatives. am your
servant and will accept your judg-
ment without cavl. If 1t is your
wish to sustain me with undivided
minds, bee you will say so in
way which it will not be possible
to misunderstood"
And the answer 20 this partisan ap-
peal was given in a Republican VIC
tory so widespread and so complete
as to be quite impossible Of mistake
or misinterpretation.
And yet within thirteen days after
this selection Mr.. Wilson made the
amazing statement that he was going
to Paris in order to personally inter-
pret his fourteen points.
1t was after he had received a de-
cided negative answer from the Amer
ican people that he proceeded to make
promises and pledges to the diplomats
of other nations. Promises and pledges
that he had no constitutional light to
make, and not the slightest authority
to proclaim.
And row after his contemptuous dis
regard of the verdict he deliberately
asked for two years ago, Mr.. Wilson
issues this theatric statement:
"The whole world will wait 1or
your verdict in November as it
would wait for an intimation of
what it's future is to be-"
Well, the whole world will get the
verdict in November. and it will be
very much moro of a bump than was
given to his Autocratic Highness two
years ago.

Govt OPERATION
OUT OF POLITICS
Party Leaders Convinced by
Results of National Can
vaSS of Editors.
INDICATES FORMER POLL.
Overwhelming Veto Like That Of Year
Before From Both Sides Of
Political Fence.

Washington.-InIse circles of both
terested in the results of national
poll on the question of government
operation among over 5000 newspa-
per editors throughout the country.
With SO per cent of these editors, re-
gardless of political faith, giving 1t as
their impartial opinion that the public
is more than ever opposed to the gov
ernment going into business in COM
petition with its citizens, observers
here see little chance that either pO-
litical party will find it a profitable
campaign issue.
In the opinion Of party leaders this
sort of a canvass among newspaper
editors is the best possible index of
public opinion. They recall a similar
QUESTIONABLE sent out year ago In
connection with the proposition that
the government take over the rail-
roads permanently. Replies at that
time from approximately the same
number of editors showed S3 per cent
against the principle of government
in ten days from publication Of the
result of the former questionable the
sentiment for return of the railroads
to their owners had definitely crys-
tallized.
Comparison Of present results In de-
tail with those Of a year ago con-
vinces the political student not only
that these editors have been accurate
in their judgment, but that party con-
siderations played no part in form
ing it. From Democratic and sup
posedly radical Texas, for example
the present QUESTIONABLE brought re.
plies from editors Of pa papers, only
three of which are Republican. Yet
the percentage against government
ojeration was 92, which is exactly the
same as that given by 200 editors
from Republican Michigan, among
whom were representatives of only
three Democratic papers. Other
states that pair percentages signfi-
cantly are Massachusetts and Nevada
with 100; Connecticut and South Caro-
lima, with 81; Maine and West Vir.
ginia, with 96; Kentucky and New
York, with 81; Missouri and Pennsyl.
vania, with 80; Ohio and Oklahoma
with 81.

cured by treaty negotiated by the
President through and with the advice
and consent of the Senate. The Presi-
dent had the right to appoint a COM
mission to sit in conference at the
peace table; he had the right to go to
the conference himself, although no
other President ever did such a thing.
Mr.. Wilson, however, trusted no one,
he kept his own counsel and ne can
his motives. One man dictation of
peace terms was entirely in keeping
with Mr.. Wilson's notions Of auto
cratic government.
"The Allies were quite content in
exchange for Mr.. Wilson's approval of
a division Of the ST oils of war among
them to grant him a League of Ma
tions. They had nothing to lose and
much to gain. They had little laith in
1t, however, and the events have prov
en- its futility as a preventive Of war.
when the Sena.e obtained an Off
cial opy of the cove iant it was read
with great care. 1t was couched in
doubtful language a1t subject to vari-
Gus interpretations From what the
President had said, however, the Sem
ate was able quite clearly to under
stand what he had in mind and after
reading and discussing it more than
n third OF the Senate signed a protest
to the President, stating that certain
changes would have to be made In the
document before it could be approved
by the Senate.

interpretations which the Senate con-
tended for were what the covenant
really intended, but he impeached his
own. integrity when he repeatedly PRE-
vented the Senate from attaching the
expressions in the form of explanatory
reservations to the covenant itself.
Il can never vote that any man or
any few men can plunge our nation

want the matter so clear that no for
eign council shall have power to in

in war. The President himself has
made this question a political issue
in this campaign and as far as am
concerned l do not shrink from it.
Read the history of the world since
the armistice and see what dangers
would threaten and what complica-
tions would involve us If we were in
II oil
twenty-nine nations. Most of these
European troubles grow out of wrongs
which the League sanctions and which
1t must perpetuate. We should be d.
vinely thankful that the Senate pro-
tected the United States against the
moral necessity of furnishing men and
money to fight old world battles in
order that monarchy may be extended
and wrong perpetuated.
with a real American President
who feels that 1t is his first duty to
care for his own country, the United
States will regain its one-time power
and influence. Americans rightfully
in foreign countries will have their
rights of person and property respect
ed and protected.
'Tf the party which has served this
country in every one of its great trials

world is returned to power, is there
any doubt that our full duty will be
performed? Is the Republican party
less intelligent, less patriotic than its
Democratic rival? Let the peoples
