TRAINS NOTED vloLlNIsTs

Probably the most expressing musical career of times has been that of Leopold Auer, violinist, chamber music interpreter, conductor and master teacher. whom the American musical world welcomed to these shores some three years ago.
 In 1868, when he 23 years old, Professor Auer was invited by Anton Rubnstein. founder and the Conservatory at Petrograd to succeed Wieniawski. who had resigned professor of the master class violin playing. Tired of stage coaches the roaming life of vrtuoso, Auer accepted the flatering offer. He also appointed violinst to the court, highly-coveted position which he held 1917 when the Russian revolution upset things in the former realm of the
 Just about the time Professor Auer arrived in Petrograd musical era had dawned in Russia Young Russia inspired by Ginka, had begun at last its successful battle for national music BalaN1ren four other young composers, withstood the on slaught of the conservative press and finally won recognition for music based national traditions While these opponents of national music were strug- gng for a hearing, another giant appeared, Tchai- kowsky who helped-unwilngly perhaps-brng the triumph of the natonaists. Professor Auer sympathized with the school of composers and gladly presented their when he conducted the concerts of the Imperial Russian Musical Society.
 Before Professor Auer reached this side of the Atlantic he had been preceded by many of his famous pupils-Elman Zimbast. Hefetz Pariow. Seidel, to name but few-who had made credible the reported existence of mysterious factory in Petrograd where great violinists magicay turned out in untold numbers. Professor Auer immediately proceeded to dispe the canard of the "Auer factory" and demon- strate-to the benefit of those American stu dents who enjoyed the privilege of studying with him that his results had been brought about by natu- ral method of study founded knowledge and under standing.
 He set to work and wrote ''Vion Playing as l Teach It. is said that three printings were sold in about six weeks unparalleled demand for a work on violin playing.

Ali Crops

A movement in favor of Al Crops" is being in- stituted by the Chamber of Commerce. primarily with the object putting all the cotton of the now tclr- the first second grades. That mar be accomplished by "clean picking" Carelessly picl c,t,en whate, may be the character of the fiber falls into of the lower grades, circum- stance which is reflected in a lower price and slower market market It Is stated that nearly
 that has been sold has been of the first and second grades. Amid the plethora of cotton at the command of the spinners they wanted inferior grades.
 What is tr1e of cotton is true of all other farm products. Anyone who observed farming opera tions this valley in any other part the try has noticed, that clean crops raised by ccesful farmers and inferior whether of hay grain, by farmers who not recognized cessfu In a way the difference between success and failure is the difference between good and inferior products.
 The Chamber of Commerce movement is directed only the benefit of those who the past have contributed the lower grades of cotton the general volume, but to the benefit of the community. To extent though it not be appreciable single bale of inferior cotton lowers the level of quality of the whole.

 As for my personal qualificatio fer this high office don't live in the city proper but can get there as quick as people that lives in Brooklyn where most of the past exalted rul- CTS has lived.
 The dutys of the office would not interfere with my regular work as they seem to consist of going out to the opening game at the Polo Grounds and l generally always do that any way, and further and more I could make a whole lot better job of pitching the 1st ball than any of the mayors l have seen try to do it as they was all hog wild.
 About the only thing the voters can urge against me is that I can talk pretty good grammar when l really try but l would guarantee to overcome that in the 1st few wks and I might say at this pt. that it would not cost the city nothing to buy me a high hat as I have got one somewheres around the house that was boughten II yrs. ago but is like new and will say without braging that I can look funnier in 1t than even most mayors.

the fewer police the better as statis- tics shows that 90 per cent of the murders committed in N. Y. city in the last 100 yrs. has given gen. sat- isfaction and was all for the best and the people that was both benefited and amused by them far outnumber- ed the people that was put to any temporary inconvenience
 The police problem which I have referred to above of course do not include the traffic squad which it is nessary to have one of them station ed at every corner or else the women folks wouldn't have no way of find ing out how many blocks 34 st. is from 35 st. and vice versa. But if was running the town 1 would ap- point bunch of traffic policemans that I could trust and confide in them what the traffic laws are. which is now being kept secret from them for the fear they would squeaL Two other big problems in a town like N. Y. is the traction problem and the houseing problem. Different mayors has been wrestleing with these questions for yrs. and never got nowheres with them but it looks to me like 1t would be simple mat ter to end the difficultys if the problems was combined and make one problem out of them and I would l do this by insisting that + the stores and offices and factorys would run night times and the other + day ! times and in this way only lz as many people would half to go to work at the same time and vice versa | and not only that, but if the st. cars and subway trains run rush hour schedules every hour of night and day why the motormen and eDnduc- tors and guards would not need no | place to sleep and their houses could be took over by people that did.
 Another Problem Smashed
 In connections with the houseing problem they seems to of been a good deal of speculation by non thinkers on how it come that such l a situation come up, namely. that is so much crowding now days and don't seem to be nowheres near as
 many houses as people that wants
 to live in them. The real answer Is
 prohibition. which before it was
 passed the bar rooms took care of
 hundreds of thousands of people
 that now haven't no place to park
 themselfs but home.
 About the only other big problem
 that seems to be worring the people
 that runs N. '. is the employment
 question and a lot of people is al-
 ways asking what can we do to give
 employment to the great army of un-
 employed. In reality this aint no
 problem at all and for that reason 1t would be silly for me to waste my

BISBEE-Copper Queen branch, Phelps Dodge corporation. has had a force of electricians at work during the past week installing a Gamewell fire alarm system through the various buildings that belong to the company. They have also ordered a La France fire truck similar to that owned by the city. The truck is expected to arrive within the next few days.

StoHe s lnIOW or the famous Bird Cage and Can Can.
 With excellent forethought the avi- ator chose small field adjoining the Tombstone cemetery for making his landing. If the frontiersTnen buried there did not turn in their graves it was probably because they thought they were about to welcome a new conner and needn't bother All Tomb stone. including the chamber of com merce, the chief of police and the un- dertaker, trooped out to welcome ths visitor. The airman was visiblys dis concerted at the reception. He hadn't come on an official visit. He had thought he could just drop in to sea a girl without making such a row, But the chamber of commerce de- manded that he look over adjoining fields and advise them as to the possibility of making Tombstone permanent landing place. He did He reported that he had never seen a place with so much landing space.

Y. city but it may be news to them that I am being urged to run for same on depend- ent ticket and have promised to give my answer whether I will run or not in a few days and the reason l am holding back my decision is to wait and hear from my readers in other cities and see if they would be of tended if I was to take office in one city and make it look like I favored one city over others and if they's ary of you that feels like this would be unfair, I wished they would write and l will do like they say.
 So far they has been other can- didates that has announced their in- tentions of running namely Mayor Hylan who has all ready held the plums for 4 yrs. vile the other is man named Curran and another man by the name of Judge Haskell or some such name that is running on wet ticket, and from all I hear his ticket is all wet even before the race starts.

Restrictive Precedents

We are too much afraid of precedent. We are prevented often from taking the wisest and best course. lest thereby, sometimes find the opened to which is not the wisest and best. There the bill which passed the senate giving to the president power to appoint General Wood gov general of the Philippines. allowing him still to remain on the active list of the army.
 bill encountered opposition in the house which it Is believed will be fatal This opposition includes elements-those who favor granting independ- the Philippines; those who opposed army legislation The members of this opposition is up almost wholly of Democrats. That opposition would able to prevent the passage the bill. there is third element which recognizes the peculiar value the services in the islands erai Wood. but is unwilling to precedent by which army officers the active list may be given civil offices.
 It is. believe. generally admitted that other could well serve the country in the Philip pines Yet in the absence such act is pending country avail itself of his services there.
 The objectng house members have in mind the abuses following the civil occasioned by assign ing active officers to civil positions. abuses which led to the existing law. The enactment of the pending bill would abrogate that law but would create single exception for the good of the public service It wc not in the case of General Wood create a pre- mt.
 In nilar situation should some time arise,

 It is true that in this General Wood is ing thu age of retirement and that he about retire to provost Of the University of Penn sylvania, position he had agreed orally to accept but understood that he will be released promise for a year case should sent o the Philippines. Thus General Wood might, and he probably qualify governor generalship by retirement from the active list.
 But a might arise in which army officer with many years of service before him should be desired a great emergency for service in a civil office for which he might be peculiarly fitted. The term of this service might be brief but indefinite Yet under law, the government would be deprived of his service in either civil military capacity
 would we think in the present be far bet ter to set precedent for freedom of action, than precedent would restrict that advantage of the government.
