About Fritz Ander~pm's 'D~stl

About Fritz Anderspn's Desth.
Fritz Anderson. who was scri~
ously hurt at school. February
first. passed away at the Moose
Lake hospital February seventh.
There has been much written
about Fritz's death. even a GER
tain letter was published with
out permission. The cause OF
his death was rupture of the left
kidney caused by a blow during
boxing. Fritz must have had a
diseased kidney before he was
struck which accounts for how
he could have been struck with
this effect. But he had not been
ailing with kidney trouble, as
Ihis kidney could have been dis.
leased for a long time and he still
would not have 10 be sick enough
to complain. And it would be
leven possible that good doctor
would not have been able to tell
he had It beforehand. So I don't
see how anyone cab say that he
had been ailing with kidney
trouble, AS children are often
seen who have kidney disease
and still are not sick but il is
found out when their urine il
examined Even if he had tn,
kidney disease he might have
gotten well from it and ever
without any medical treatment
If he had not been struck on
the place he got the blow ht
might have been alive today and
perhaps lived to be an old man
So the blow Fritz got did moi
| hasten any illness. but it rup
ltured his kidney which caused
his death.

Says Postmaster General Will
BE Called "Bandmaster
General"

Following the announcement that
the postmaster general had decided to
install monographs In the post office
at Washington, B. Baer. humorist Of
the Chicago Herald Examiner, gave
him a new title. He called him Band
master General Hays, and proceeded
to suggest some of the things which
may be expected under his leadership,
as follows:
Mail boxes on corners will contain
melodeon attachment When papa
steps nimbly by: letter box will belch
forth: Then You'll Remember Me-
for mama's letter. Drop it into ash
can. Evening will close as peacefully
as it began.
Two cent stamps viii be engraved
with picture of G. Washington play
ing mouth organ. Lincoln attacking
either, Taft playing ear of corn in
boarding house glee club.
Great idea. Ought to make Sousa
our next president. Have to send our
latter carriers aboard to study. Rath-
er embarrassing to have postman gal
lop forth with trombone and blow fan
fare of postcards into your face.
Recipes for home brew will be
accompanied by barrel organ. Young
man will receive his love letters to
appropriate melody Of snare drum.
When strains Of steam calliope are
sitting through rain spout or bunga-
low, you are hep that two cents are
due on letter.
Coordination of violincello, CLOCK
enspiel. piccolo, is clew that coroner's
jury is duetting barcarole from Gray's
Elegy in dead letter office.
Wont be necessary to open letter
to find out whether it contains sour
news or sweet. Letter carriers har-
mony gang will announce beforehand
with cadenza, dirge, capriccio. Blue
Danube means that landlord has raised
rent and you are Waiting again."

Bad Song Blights
Cherished Memory
of Enrico C,aruso

One bad song can do more to blight
a cherished memory than dozen bad
poems or bad pictures. Music, even
bad music, outstrips in potency any
other form of art Therefore, the aw-
full wall that has just been published
in New York in memory of Enrico Ca
russo is the more to be regretted, says
the Kansas City Star.
Before the funeral was over, the
death of the great tenor had been COM
mercialized by song which was on the
shelves of majority of the music stores
Of the country within 10 days after the
cable from Italy, ''They Needed a
Songbird in Heaven is the title of the
atrocity, and. to make it worse, appar-
emily. the composer or. the publisher
added to the title the observation, in
parenthesis; $50 God !. Took Caruso
Away" Nothing could possibly be
worse than the title. except. it appears,
the song itself, and it is advertised as
tribute" and an Everlasting monu-
ment" to the great singer. Shades Of
Caruso!
Nothing but a master stroke of irony
could have dedicated such song to the
greatest singer. perhaps, the world has
known. Without doubt, the song, which
cannot even be called an insult because
it is the result Of pure and unadulter-
ated ignorance, is the worst thing yet
produced to commemorative a sad event.

Photograph Records
to Preserve Songs of
New Mexican Indians

Uncounted races of men have gone
from the earth, leaving no traces Of
their music or songs. Now the phono-
graph is preserving the songs Of van
ishing races, as Is illustrated by rec
ords of songs being made by Rosendo
Vargas, member of the Taos tribe of
Indians of New Mexico. Vargas, who
is employed in the bureau Of Indian
affairs at Washington, is singing the
songs of his own people in their Ian
guage into monograph, under the d.
rection of the Smithsonian Institution.
The songs include samples of every
kind Of singing known to the Taos In
dams. One of them is called simply a
Going Song" since it is sung as the
Indians walk, along, when they go out
to work in their fields, to catch their
horses and on similar occasions.
The songs SAVIOR of the mountains Of
New Mexico and reflect the feeling and
thought of a people who were in a
high stage of cultural development. The
songs also show high state Of devel-
opment of the language, which is very
complicated and capable of expressing
intricate thought.

NEW INTEREST AROUSED

The active campaign Of the woodrow
Wilson foundation, which is to be
launched throughout the country be-
ginning October %, is an attempt by

his ideals Of democracy and human
freedom to the man in the street.

are published by the Harpers and

Ohio City's Reputation as q

The success Of its second season Of
summer grand opera In Cincinnati
again directs attention to the Ohio
city's reputation as musical center,
a reputation which has been. firmly
established by its May musical fasti-
walls and it's fine symphony orchestra.
The summer grand opera is given
by the Summer Grand Opera COM
pany at the Cincinnati geological
gardens. Established last summer,
the outdoor opera venture was look
ed upon as hardly more than a
unique operate experiment. This sea-
son the element of uncertainty van
ished and the enthusiastic support
given by the public demonstrated
that summer opera in Cincinnati has
come to stay.
In the first four weeks Of the en-
gagement there were 10000 paid adj
missions into the zoo gardens after
fore the time for the curtain to rise
every free seat, of which there are
many, was taken, while long line
gathered in front Of the box office.
Tickets ranged in price from Is cents
to $15O. The opera was given in a
beautiful environment, the zoo gar
dens comprising many acres artist
cally laid out with flower beds, wind
ing walks, groves of trees and
large lake.
With few exceptions the soloists
were recruited from the ranks of the
Metropolitan, Chicago and former
Boston opera companies. The opera
repertoire included Carmen" "Lu-
cia." "Trovatore," Barber Of Sc
Vile" 'sTales of Hoffman" Romeo

some of the compositions were written
before that member of the band was
born. My manager quickly put quiet
US on the argufiers-but you can see
just the sort Of thing that gives rise to
all kinds of grave doubts"
Rumor has caused Sousa losses, too
in monetary way. A newspaper had
announced that he was to conduct the
opening performance of his opera THE
Bride Elect" in Chicago. AS matter
of fact, he was down with typhoid f.
YER at indianapolis at the time and his
band, having to be dismissed, was on
the way back to New York. Several
dates were to be cancelled in Ohio
in order to lessen the bands losses, but
the manager of the houses, taking ad-
vantage of the newspaper statement
that Sousa was to lead the orchestra
in Chicago, insisted upon the bands
adherence to engagements and refused
to pay for the mems services The
loss to Sousa was 10000 loss due
to rumor and to the advantage taken
Of it.

Interest in Music
on Increase, Belief
of Missoula Writer

Did you ever think about the in
tense amateur interest in music there
10 in America? asks Pan" IN The Mis-
soulian. One could name business
men, professional men, politicians and
men of affairs by the score who not
only are fond of music but are, them
selves, musicians of no mean calibre.
President Harding, they ten us, belongs
to this class, while among others are
George Eastman of kodak fame, and
Charles Schwab of steel interests.
President Harding has said, II am the
friend Of every effort to give music it's
rightful place in the life Of the nation. y
This interest in music is more and
more engendered and fostered in the
American home. The photograph and
the player-piano have been of meal
culable aid in this. Rarely does one

struments Is not found if other music
is lacking, and in fact oven though
there is other music No, this is not an
ad for the talking machine, neither is

while the subject is apropos let me re-
mark in passing that the nation owes a
debt of gratitude to the inventors who
have put the best there is within the
reach Of all. know there are those
steal tastes" who deride and scott at
what they are pleased to term canned
music But let me say that many
students have found real inspiration
in the talking machine, while I could
name some very progressive and prom
inent teachers who use the records in
class work with excellent results. Yes,
these instruments may give us music

the story:
Beethoven. when conducting the or
