ATLANTA FACES 0PERATIC
 WAR
By International News Service. ,

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 2b. -- Since there are only two cities in the United States where the Metropolitan Grand Opera Company exhibit their golden notes, and since one of these is Allan ia, Ga, 1t is hardly surprising 10 find Atlanta feeling some concern over the probability that politics fig about to swoop down and cut the number of cities in half.
 Atlanta music lovers are fighting mad since the house of representa- tiyes of Georgia recently decided that the grand opera season, which lasts a week each spring in Atlanta, must henceforth return a revenue to the state of $2,500 for each week This boosts the ante" some S2,OOO over what it has been in the past.
 Atlanta not only fears she will lose the Metropolitan season. but also en- tertains grave fears that Birmingham or some other city will step in and put on the opera show.
 The decision of the legislature does not mean very much to the Metropoli tan songbirds. for they come here with a flat guarantee offered them and, in addition, collect a percentage of the receipts over certain sum- Last spring they carted away something like S97,00O for a weeks work
 Colonel w. L. Peel. heading the At lanta Music Festival Association, financing the season of the worlds premier songsters, has pointed out that the appearance of these golden throated singers was by no means a money making proposition and that the association made up a deficit of $4000 last season. Colonel Peel ex- pressed himself as extremely doubt ful that the proposition could be financed with an additional S25O0 burden in the way of taxation.
 OBJECT IS EDUCATIONAL
 Working individually, in groups and through musical organizations, press ure is being brought to bear on Sen ators. and those interested are very hopeful that the amendment will be disagreed to in the upper chamber.
 In 1910 the Atlanta Music Festival Association, composed of public spirit ed citizens, headed by Colonel Peel, secured subscriptions guaranteeing the Metropolitan Opera Company $95,000 for one weeks season of grand opera, with a view of providing the southeast with the best music in the world, for educational purposes and to place the musical culture of this section on the highest plane possible. No thought of making money was entertained and since then two seasons have shown deficits which have been made up by members of the Atlanta Music Festi- val Association.
 The cost of admission has ranged from S1 to $7 for single seats for each performance and season tickets" GOV ering one admission at every per formance, were sold for from $5 to | S35. The operas have been sung in the Atlanta auditorium, which has a seating capacity of 12,0O0. Each year since 1910, with one exception, the 1 famous singers have come to Atlanta and been greeted by lovers of music from all parts of the southeast, mark,

ODESSA, rex, Aug. zb.-Out here on the Pecos valley range, where buckaroos draw lightnin' fast" shoot from the hip and never miss, Chicago 'second story men" haven't much of a chance to successfully ply their Illicit trade.
 Four Chicago youths. awaiting trial under indictments charging them with burglary. have learner this. They bucked up against "Go-Get-' Elm" John. son. lanky westerner sheriff of Ector county, known far and wide as the fastest draw in the west"
 Burglars who robbed the Odessa Mercantile Company and burglaries are few 1T q far between out herc--sot d four-homr start on Johnson. With characteri. tic determination. the pie turesque "Go-Get-' Elm" buckled on his "six-guns" and started down the road toward Barstow. Twenty miles out on the lonely road he met the four Chi. cago youths.
 Going far, boys" he drawled, stop ping his car.
 With no suspicion in their minis and having odds of four to one, the youths eagerly scrambled aboard Sner- Tiff Johnson's car. They had gone quite a distance before they discovered they were again nearly at Odessa. They pro- tested they were going in the wrong direction.
 Nope" said Johnson. You're going right. I'm the sheriff and wanted to have a little talk with you"
 At the examining trial next day, fol lowing recovery of most of the stolen articles. the youths pleaded guilty and were bound over to the grand jury, being later indicted
 In the old west there is a neigh borly requisition regarding homesteads. It Is the unwritten law that officials must Ego and get 'em." There is a Sbtll liiNitdllbh LO Dt ltdN lllb iltdh iu the event of failure.
 "MosEYING" THE MExlEs
 History shows that "Go-Get- Elm" Johnson has never failed to get his man. Seldom has he had to make a draw" but in those few times his craftsmanship has been unfailing.
 There is something openly magnetic about this grim-visaged sheriff of the west. Most of all there is an impelling honesty of purpose in his face - the go-get.it-iveness" of the man.
 The finding of potash in this section has brought many strangers to this little city. The strangers all pass uu. der the close scrutiny of "Go-Get Elm ' Johnson.
 Folks that seem undesirable" says Johnson, "are invited to 'mosey' We don't let crooks stop in odessa. We don't want our population to increase by the coming of crooks by virtue of the discovery of potash in Ector coun ty. Ther's no room here for crooks bootleggers and hi,jackers. If Odessa is going to be boom town you CT bet your last dime it1l be different from the other boom towns"
 Thirty Mexicans were pulled from the blinds" of freight train here recently when the brakeman discovered them. The brakeman forced the Mex jeans to line up in front of the depot "Go-Get- Elm" Johnson was notified Within three minutes he was at the station.
 The Mexies cant stop here" hc l told the brakeman.
 Well, they cant ride" replied the man in charge of the train.
 You brought 'em in" drawled John son. 'I guess you'll have to get 'em out"
 The Mexicans "moseyed."

The split between Republicans and Progressives had considerable to do with the election of Wilson, but the tariff was a big contributing factor to the Democratic victory.
