| LUTHER BAND
PLEASED AUDIENCE
MUSICAL ORGANIZATION RISN-
LAKE MADISON.

The concert given by the Luther
Concert band at the Lake Madison
auditorium yesterday afternoon and
last evening was a rare treat to the
music loving people of Madison and
vicinity.
Owing to rain and slippery roads
between this city and the lake the
audience was not large but what was
lacking in numbers was fully offest
in enthusiasm and appreciation.
1t is we'll known that the artistic
work of the musical organization
has won for them favorable com
ment in the northwest and an en-
yiable reputation generally.
Yesterdays programs were OF the
highest type. The rendition by sew
eral of the young musicians of La
GaZZa Ladra" last evening deserves
ed in the more intricate passages.
The March Slave by Tsihaikoski
was given with inspiration and was
enthusiastically received.
The work of c. b. Sperati, son of
the director, was certainly excellent.
He features as an XylOphone artist
and soloist and has made a name for
himself wherever he has appeared.
The ease and grace of the director
of the band added greatly to the
pleasure of the audiences both after
noon and evening. 1t was easy to
note that Prof. Sperati has full con
troll Of each member of his organi-
cation and that they respond sympa-
thetically. Herein lies a portion OF
their wonderful success.
The boys left this morning for
Sioux Falls, where they will give a
concert at the coliseum this evening.
They are out on an eleven week tour
with engagements in this state,
North Dakota, Minnesota, Washing
ton. Oregon and Canada.
In 1914 Luther Concert band
made an extended tour over Europe
where they won the highest praise
and recognition from critical au-
diences.
It was a great privilege to have
the band in Madison and we shall
welcome another trip from them III
the future.

BILE, said a statement issued at the
presidential office last night.
At the same time a statement was
issued by the foreign office, declar-
ing a commercial treaty between the
United States and Mexico was desir-
able. but that the Mexican president
did not possess the right to conclude
a treaty of a political nature such as
was proposed by the United States in
its recent memorandum to the MeXi-

THE treaty of amity and COM

May 81" said the statement, con
tanned two sections, one pertaining to
commerce and the other regarding
better political relations. The claus
es relating to commerce would be ac-
ceptable after the making of some
notifications and additions which
would avoid later conflicts.
I'm the political phase, the Amer
lean note was Objectionable, because
it contained stipulations which were
contrary to the precepts of the Mexi-
can constitution and which the presi-
dent, who must first of all have re-
gard for the constitution, has no pow
er to accept. The constitution, in ef-
feet prohibits expressly in article Is
the celebrating of conventions or
treaties which may alter guarantees

According to the police reports, as

be something done to cover up our So
cial conditions rather than to adver-
tise them. doubt if there is another
city in America where it is necessary
to arrest one out of every three OF Its
citizens on an average Of once a year.
Our different civic organizations are
working hard to get tourists and, pos
sibly, permanent residents to come
here, but with such reports reaching
all parts of the country through our
own publications it surely is d great
handicap to their efforts, as persons
living away from here naturally think
ali these arrests are for something
done in disobeying the law, instead of
some trifling thing that would. not
be noticed in any other community.
When person is arrested for IL tri-
fling offense he loses respect for the
law; therefore. it is no punishment
when a person is arrested for Il serious
offense he need not feel disgraced ow-
ing to the frequency of arrests.

HERolSM IN THE SINKING OF
THE ACKA

Scores of fear-conquering deeds of
rare and impressive heroism featured
the rescue of the terrified passengers
from the steamer Alaska off the coast
| of California. Seamen and landlub
bers, men and women, We'd with one
another in preventing panic and saw
ing lives, and, according to accounts
of the perilous adventures, there were
a dozen persons or more whose excep
tional bravery entitled them to med
ais.
Least dramatic but NOSE effective
and resultful of all the exploits were
the perfect self-control and calm be-
havior of the captain and the steward
ess in enforcing discipline among the
excited passengers.
AS soon as the boilers of the vessel
exploded, Mrs. Grace A. Campbell, the
stewardess, opened door after door
along the deck, cautioned women and
children to don life preservers and as
semble at the raj. and quietly assured
thema there was but little danger il
they would remain cool. Captain Harry
HOBBY, speaking through a megaphone
commanded passengers and members

ing down with the ship" he said, but
if you do what I tell you, nobody will
go down but myself" The captain al
lotted the passengers among the life
boats, encouraged the crew and was
still at his post when the ship sank in
the cormorant sea.
1t is the noblest kind of gallantry
which exhibits the total lack of fear
and complete mastery of self in a sud
den disaster and Overwhelming emer-
gency. 1t is the valor which springs
not from lack of fear but the sublime
and dauntless bravery which deliber-
ately suppresses all consideration Of
self and firmly overcomes every in
ward and outward sign of fear. The
calm, sacrificial courage of the in
trepid captain was scarcely more gall
liant and hypnotic than that of the
thoughtful stewarSess. The faithful
and calm performance of duty by this
man and woman, at the critical mo-
ment, preserved the discipline and con-
fidence which saved the lives they
held in trust.
Yet. the millions who read with
breathless pride and admiration Of
Capt. Robey's stolid heroism wonder
why 1t is that he, like every other Of
ficer of his rank, felt that it was an
obligation on him to go down with his
ship. That the captain should save his
passengers and not desert his ship
as an old traditional and binding pre-
cept of the chivalry of the sea. 1t
should suffice, however, for the cap
tain to save the passengers. It should
not be considered glorious or neces-
sary for hero to give up his own
life to fulfill sentimental ideal of
valor.

ROAD WORK REDUCES UNEM.
PLOYMENT.

Careful estimates based on reports
to the Asphalt association, New York
City, show that the impetus given
street and road building in the United
States during April, May, June and
the first two weeks of July has had an
appreciate effect on the unemploy-
ment situation. Highway work in 80
of the states has already given employ
ment to $4,000 men. The labor most
benefited is that of the unslSiIled type
The state of Washington has set a
splendid example by arranging to go
step farther and extend its highway
construction program well into the
winter in order to help the unemploy-
ed. After inspecting the highway sys-

Hart declared that road work in East
ern Washington will afford employ
ment to thousands in the fall and win

flash into Dicky's eyes, and knew that
he realized at last that I must have

His lips set in a straight line, and
knew that he had resolved on some
course of conduct on one of the light

Dicl1y solves his problems.

garded as sufficient prowocation to
justify the husband in making an as
sault upon her companion, but this is
no longer true, when women enjoy
equal freedom with men.
THE mere walking or driving of a
married woman with another man. or
a married man with another woman, IS
not sufficient provocation to justify
an assault by either spouse, and the
greater freedom Of intercourse between
men and women in this day protects
them from unwarranted attacks by a
jealous husband or wife"
Newspapers in every section of the
United States have commented upon
this decision and the views held by
the editors have been varied. One of
the significant views is that of the
Canton (O.), News, which says:
rs this a victory over the evils of
the double standard of morals? or
does it mean, as some critics say, the
lowering of the standards which the
womanhood of the country has been
supposed to uphold? Prophecies may
fail of fulfillment, yet it seems that if
the women have really been the chief
conseryers of the morals and the man
ners of the race, 1t has not been solely
because of restraining laws or the in
equalities of the double standard Of
life. Greater freedom will not alter the
fundamental faith and decency of right
minded persons, although it may great
