that the International Reform Bureau

said:
I'VE have listened to fierce denuncia-
ton of the Socialist. the anarchist. the
Communist, the Bolshevist and other
Reds. The opposition to this class of
citizen has been based on the belief that
they would destroy organized govern

RACHMANENOFF RECITAL
PLEASES LARGE THRONG
Pianist Shows Eloquence and
Pover in Carnegie Concert.

When Sergel Rachmaninoff sits down
before piano all the little ticklers and
Founders of keyboards shrink into insig-
nificance. There has been much piano
playing of late and the professional re-
viewers of musical doings have been
hard put to it to find euphemlstic
phrases of Indifference or sympa thetic
condemnation. Candor compels the ad-
mission that most of this piano playing
was not worth talking about at all. but
the carving of the imperishable record
must go on.
After the recital of Sergei Rachmani-
noff in Carnegie Hall yesterday after
noon comment might easily proceed
through column yet nothing would be
accomplished, for. after all. that which
was done was not reducible to literary
description. The basic fact was that
such recital is not mere performance
or even Interpretation Of music, but the
disclosure of a powerful musical person
ality.
When Mr.. Rachmaninoff plays Mo-
Fart sonata, as he did yesterday, there Is
strange and potent mingling of two
personalities-that of the eminent Rus
sian composer and that of Mozart. We
hear an Interpretation musical, eloquent,
marked by strong individuality and
We recognize IT as far removed from the
conventional and as the conception of
great musician
When he plays a group of Chopin we
realize that he is not only a composer
Of intellect and emotional force. capable
of receiving and being deeply moved oy
the exquisite beauty of Chopin's crea-
lions, but also a piano virtuoso of tAe
first rank. His playing Of the two
waltzes on yesterdays list was the very
witchery of the pianist's art, ravishing
in beauty of tone, delicious in piquancy
of style. infectious in incisiveness Of
rhythm.
The artist introduced two new bits OF
his own, entitled Two Etudes Tab
leaux," opus 80, with the sub-titles
"Marziale" and ALA Maria Funebre."
Characteristic Rachmaninoff piano mu-
sic they proved to be, the second the
more effective of the two. Doubtless
they will find their way into the roper
tories of some of the smaller wizards OF
the keyboard. who viii not get as much
out of them as the great pianist Of yes
terday lid.
1t Is a pleasure to add that the au-
dience filled the hall and that many pa
tiently stood through the recital. 1t
was a representative assembly. and its
presence meant that the Importance of
Mr.. Rachmannoff's art has not been uu-
derestimated.

S. A. MAKES PLEA FOR
hardest CHRISTMAS

The Salvation Army made public APP
peal yesterday for funds FOR zone of the
hardest Christmases in years" Less
than $4,000 of the $4,000 needed to
care for the thousands of destitute but
worthy families has been collected. The
money is for Christmas dinners. toys for
orphan children and food, fuel and
clothing
An indication of the prevalence of
unemployment and sickness among the
poor. says the appeal. is given by the
fact that already the Salvationists have
applications for almost double the num-
Der of dinners they planned to give. Be
sides this they want TO supply free
Christmas trees at each corps headquar-
ters with toys for hundreds of children.

NEW PURITANISM
ATTACKED BY RABBI
DR.. Schulman DepIores Injec-
fion of Bigofry.

Rabbi Schulman told his congregation
yesterday that he deplored the injection
of narrow religious doctrines into the
agitation for a revival of the ancient
blue laws and Puritan Sunday. He
declared that 1t was meet that people
should set aside one day in every seven
for rest recreation and religious observ-
ances but that he did not believe the
Constitution permitted one sect or creed
to compel others or any persons opposed
to worship God at any prescribed time
or in any prescribed manner.
He added that Jews and Christians
who recognized Saturday as their Sab
bath had right TO work on Sunday
Moreover. he declared. he saw great
educational possibilities in the motion
pictures. and said that it was his opin-
ion that the cinema theatres should re-
main open Sundays

Demand for Mistletoe
Far Exceeds Supply

BOSTON, Dec. 19.-Christmas
kisses under a sprig of mis-
tletoe probably will not be so
numerous in Boston next Satur-
day as on previous Yuletides.
The reason is that little mistletoe
is finding its way into the mar
ket, according to reports to-day
of dealers in holiday greenery.
The demand is great, they said,
but the supply is seriously linn
tied.

CHRISTMAS TREE
 IS NOW. ASSURED FOR OLD TIMERS
Committee Finishes Work
 Thursday Evening-Ccner- ous Response Is Made.

When tho movement, started re- gently for raising funds and mer- chandise for insuring a Christmas Tree for the Pioneers Home at Sitka, ended Thursday evening, it YVES announced by the Committee that it had been a success and that sufficient contributions had been re- ceived to carry out its plans. Des- pite the fact that the time was limited, the work of raising funds, etc., consuming but three or four days, a generous response was re- ceived from Juneau and other nearby places.
 The following statement was is- sued by the Committee this morn ing:
 Grateful acknowledgment is made to all those who have con- tributed so literally to the Pioneers Home Christmas tree celebration. A true yuletide spirit of giving has been shown by the people of Ju- neau.
 The committee has already re- ported the receipt of $103 in cash to which is added $95, making a total of $38. An almost equal amount of merchandise has been donated. It now extends thanks to the following who were not on the former list:
 For both cash and candy, c. G. Kenyon and Miss Ethel Thompson. For cash: A Pioneer from Thane, L.. D Henderson, Verd Klien. Mrs. c. Goldstein John E. Long, Fred Faut, A. H. Jacobson, Madeline Valentine, J. T. Spickett, Joe Garner, Jack Hayes, w. Layton. Mrs John Rust gard, Henry Berry. For merchandise, Nelson's Shoe Store, J. M. Giovanet- ii, J. J. Stocker, Dave Housel, Sani- tary Grocery.
 "The committee has been allow ed to purchase at cost from MT. Robert Scott pair of fine socks for each inmate of the Home which will be filled with apples, oranges, candy, handkerchiefs, chewing gum and tobacco In the toe of each filled stocking will be a present of money.
 "The Pioneer of Thane' who gen erously donated $500 would give no other name. This is typical of the North.
 Besides the money. and supplies collected by the committee, from Juneau and Douglas and doubtless from other parts of the Territory, presents are being forwarded to the Home, so there is every pros pect of a real Christmas coming to our old friends in Sitka.
 "A Happy Christmas to you all.

JUNEAU TRADE
 AT CHRISTMAS
 TIME IS GOOD
Merchants Report Shopping Has Started Indicating
 People Are Prosperous.

Christmas trading is starting in Juneau and all merchants report that the indications are that the holiday business will equal that of previous years and possibly exceed the business of the past two years. Merchants who do not engage at special holiday business also report excellent financial conditions in Ju- neau and that trading in general is splendid.
 w. s. Pullen, manager of the Alaska Electric Light & Power Co.,, stated today that the business of that house has been good during the fall and was fine at the present time with indications that the Christmas trade will be excellent. There are many new novelties in household goods of an electrical na- ture being displayed this year.
 A. J. Ficken, manager of the Frye-Bruhn Market, who recently returned from a business trip to Sc- attle, stated today that he was sur prised at the business done in Ju- neau on Thanksgiving day.
 "Our business has been good this year." said MT. Ficken today, 'and a trip around the Capital City will show the why for. Few men are on the streets<in the day time showing that all who care to work are em- ployed. The women folks have been busy with their Christmas sewing at home and have used the te!e- the greater part of the home work is over, the women folks will start on their store shopping and the holi- day season will be a busy one, am sure. I was glad to get back to Juneau, after visiting several cities in the Pacific Northwest, for con- ditions here are so much better than outside, that the comparison is all in favor of Gastineau chan nel"
 Simpson & Wright, of the Nugget Shop, report that the holiday busi- ness has started off briskly in the jewelry line.
 M. Michael and George E. Coury, of the Boston Store, are both well satisfied with the first spurt in the holiday trading.
 Christmas goods in the drug stores are moving rapidly and with shipments expected on the next steamers from the South, these will be unpacked and the goods will be displayed.
 Those handling the selling at B. M. Behrends Co.,, and at Gold stein's Emporium are perfectly sat isfied with the first lap in Christmas shopping and are sangufne that the holiday shoppers are bestirring themselves to "do it carly
 From all other merchants come most optimistic reports of a good holiday season.
 Toys are playing large part in the early Christmas shopping show ing that happiness for the children is as usual uppermost in the minds of parents.
 At the c. w Young Co.,, and Ju- neau Hardware Co.,, the big play things, those of everyday use, sleds, etc., are moving in a remarkable manner.
 Few in Juneau realize that there are now more people, especially families, in Juneau than at this time last year. Optimism is depict ed by all classes of citizens, not only on the assurance of the cold stor- age plant, which will mean so much to Juneau, but because of the pulp end paper prospects, numerous other industries and general 100 per cent elsewhere in Alaska.
