.SALVI CONCERT LAST NIGHT

I I witnessed something SO wonderful
to describe it fully would be laying my
self liable to be considered a raving
exaggerator Nevertheless, will state
few facts for the benefit of those
who unfortunately did not attend the
concert. When 1 met Salvi yesterday
he impressed. me as being rather an
ordinary sort of chap. He said he was
married and 1 asked him whether to
a woman or his harp. He answered:
ITO both" When I asked which one
gets preference, he said, Il take my
harp along wherever I co.
After watching him play for about
ten minutes last night, 1 could under
stand him better. The man worships
his harp, he approaches it reVerently.
He plays it by way of begging, coax
ing, and again daring the inStrum ent
to give forth of the poetic beauty of
its soul. His technique seems limit
less and his temperamental Outbursts
are astounding. I'll venture the bold
statement that no such sweet, be-
witching music was made in Topeka
during tho six years I've been here,
if ever before. Did you ever see hun
dreds of people enraptured to the
point where the silence in spite of
their presence becomes almost oppres-
sive? Such was the case last night
curing the rev SECONDS EoalVl He6QeQ to
adjust his instrument before starting
a new number. The applause he re-
ceived especially at the end of his
program was a roar of sincere evil
dence of a captivated audience. The
people would not go home. They did
not seem to realize that the program
had ended.
Such a reception I would call an
ovation. This young man, Salvi. does
on the harp, what Listz did on the
piano. He produces laundering or
chestral effects and instantaneously
changes into shimmering, disappear
ing whispers that make you feel the
awe-inspiring magic of the master.
He told me afterwards that it mat
tered very little to him where he
played or how small or how large the
audience, for he plays because he loves
to, which explains at least to a degree
the mysterious power he exercises on
his listeners. Salvi is, in addition to
being the young king of harpists, an
organist and orchestra conductor.
Mr.. Holland is to be- congratulated
upon the unqualified success of his
first number of the season and even
more so for his quickly re-engaging
Salvi for next season before he left
the auditorium last night. Next time
Salvi comes, he is going to have a full
house if I judge correctly the spirit
and appreciation of those who were
there last night

ANOTHER STAGGERING
BILL COMING TO u. S.
DETERIORATION OF PROPER
TY TO COST BILLION AND
HALF, CUMMINS SAYS.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The pub
lie has been warned to brace itself in
preparation for the governments rail
road bill.
Claims for deterioration during the
period OF federal control, which the
railroads are presenting now, will ag-
gregate $1,5OO,0O0,000, it is estimated
by Senator Cummins, of Iowa, chair
man OF the interstate commerce com.
mittee.
The public, Cummins said, will not
realize what it cost the government
to run the railroads until congress
makes ready to appropriate for the
shortage.
Cummins' estimate of a billion and
half did not include the amounts
which the government lost in operat-
ing expenses during federal control,
nor the $600,000,000 which is to be
paid the roads as a result of the gov
eminent guaranteeing their income
during the first six months OF renewed
private operation.
The senator's comment resulted
from statements filed by L. E. Wet
ting, of Chicago, manager OF the bu-
reau of statistics of the western lines,
which showed that the net operating
income of the western roads was $685.

CUT SOME SPECULATION
OUT OF u. S. FARMING
Agriculture Must Be Put on Sound
Business Basis, Says Wallace.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-The period
of agricultural exploitation" in the
United States is practically ended,
Secretary Wallace said in an address
at a dinner given by the Standard
Farm Papers Publishing Association.
If production is to be maintained, he
declared, efforts must be made to put
agriculture on a sound business basis,
in order thai "The farmer may get
prices for his products which will give
him fair rate of interest on the mon
ey he has invested and fair labor
wage" :.
Constantly increased production will
not alone accomplish this end Mr..
Wallace said, but must be supplement-
ed by better methods of distribution.
1--WE have come to time when con-
sumption has practically overtaken
production" the secretary said. Just
now we are in the midst of serious
agricultural depression caused by I'M
usually large crops and the breaking
down of our foreign market, and, in
part, to our domestic market.
1--WE must learn to take some of the
speculative risk out of farming"

VOTE 5 TO |, TO
END STATE OF WAR
49 DEMOCRATS, INCLUDING
GEORGIA CONGRESSMAN,
FAVOR RESOLUTION.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-By vote
of exactly S to /, the house passed the
Porter resolution to terminate the state
of war between the United States and
the central powers.

ton, already passed by the senate, re-
pealing the declaration of war it was
put through by 305 to 81, as a republi-

republican vote-Kelly, OF Michigan.
Forty-nine democrats joined in the
landslide.
The effort of the democratic lead
ership to hold the party in line against
the resolution failed, and the minority
crumbled on roll call. The crack OF
the gavel, ending two solid days of
debate, which leaders agreed had not
changed one vote, brought sigh OF
relief to weary members.
Springing a surprise at the last mo-
ment Chairman Porter, of the for
eign affairs committee, in charge of
the fight, presented Representative
Bourke Cochran, democrat, New York,
to make the closing argument for pass
age of the resolution.

the war. The information was given
out at meeting of the executive
board of the newly formed Corpora

RELIGION STEADILY
ON INCREASE IN u. S.
THE GROWTH OF CHURCHES
IS LARGE, ACCORDING TO
CENSUS REPORT.

An army of nearly 45,000,000 men,
women and children now is enrolled
on the membership lists of the
churches of the United States. Forty
two out of each 100 persons, accord
ing to records of the census bureau,
are reported as actively affiliated with
congregations, parishes, missions or
other organizations conducting ser
vices regularly to encourage the spread
of religious training and practice.
Property Worth Two Billions.
Churches of America are valued at
So, 000,000,000 and do not include hos
pitfalls, colleges, schools and structures
used other than for meeting purposes.
In addition, approximately $500,000,-
900 is at the disposal of the churches
in endowments.
Church membership is climbing at
the rate of 100000 persons a year.
Nearly 100000 persons became mem
bers of religious bodies in the ten
year period ended Dec. 81, 1916, &C
cording to the census report. The first
church census, taken in 1890, showed
a total membership of approximately
81, 100000 individuals out of total
population of nearly 100000. This
showed IS per cent OF the population
was enrolled in churches.
Twenty Millions in Sunday Schools.
Sixteen years later the total church
going population had increased to 49,
100000, as compared with a national
population of 84,000,000 The church
membership then constituted AZ per
cent of the total population. In 1916
the church membership had jumped to
more than 100000 persons.
An unusual factor in the present
church situation is seen in the fact
that more than 100000 persons
mainly children, are enrolled in the
Sunday schools. This is within 1,000,-
900 of the total church membership in
1890. More than 100000 persons de-
vote a whole or part of their time to
teaching in Sunday schools and Bible
classes. On this basis approximately
one in each so persons in the United
States is actively engaged in advanc-
ing the cause OF religion, not count
ing ministers, missionaries, church
secretaries and volunteer workers
There are more than 100000 persons
who give their entire time to Chris
tan work, including ministers, rabbis
priests, speakers, readers and others
More than 90 of the main denomi
nations reported in the census have {
total membership of 100000 person:

BUREAUCRACY BLOCKS

ED IN EFFORTS TO END
EXTRAVAGANCE.

The Harding administration is re.
CURED to wage war with an intrench

estimate of any one not in persona

in Washington, say press dispatches
This situation has been revealed by
the president himself, it is said, at re.

leaders, in their undertaking to termi-
nate extravaganza in federal expendi

stacle Although their efforts have
been blocked repeatedly the admins
tration is determined to win ultimate

WOMEN VOTERS SEEK
STATUS IN GEORGIA
LAWMAKERS MUST DECIDE
WHETHER FAIR SEX is
ELIGIBLE TO OFFICE.

ATLANTA, Ga-What are the
Georgia legislators going to do about
the status of the women? This is the
question that the nation watched with
interest the vigorous fight that this
corps of men waged against the rati-
fcation of the federal amendment two
years ago is asking. Ever since the
battle for political recognition for the
fair sex was first launched in the
south Georgia legislators have gone
on record at every opportunity as Bit
ter enemies of the movement. Now
that in spite of these Georgia solons
women can vote and vote in the COM
ing election, which will select men,
bers of the legislature as well as name
all the other officers to be chosen by
election, will the legislature give them
or force them to take equal place with
men?
Work Roads?
Again the eyes of the nation is to
be fastened on the Georgia capital,
for though the personnel of the COM
ing legislature will be different from
that of two years ago the Legislators
will have the same attitude towards
women's rights and equal suffrage.
Georgia women have the right to
vote and the right to elect officers. In
turn they are eligible to office. The
question now is will this corps OF law
makers, having once been forced to
throw down the gauntlet, now go all
the way and make the fair claimants
eligible to all offices, pay poll tax,
street tax or take the alternative OF
working roads?" Will the women of
Georgia, whose beauty and grace have
been described SO well in song and
story, be liable to military and police
duty? They have been granted the
right to sit on juries-will there be
made notifications in their cases and
important trials be held up while the
fair occupants of the jury box go to
the dressmaker's or order roast Tor
dinner?
AT any rate it is up to the lawmak-
ing powers of Georgia to make
place in the political scheme OF the
state for women. Whether this viii
be done graciously or not remains to
be seen.
Want Equal Rights.
Women had already been voting in
some states prior to the passage of the
nineteenth federal amendment. In
Georgia, however, in spite of the fact
that in municipal and some county
elections women have already cast
ballots some legislative measures are
needed to clear up the law and wipe
off the men only" clauses and widen
the expression in relation to the fran
chise
Whether there will be legislation to
affect the women as to their civic
rights and privileges is yet to be de-
cided.
On several occasions the women of
Georgia have clearly and positively
expressed themselves as being opposed
to discrimination in their favor. They
want their share of the burdens and
obligations along with the rights and
privileges that have been granted
them. There are some interesting
questions ahead for the lawmakers of
Georgia.
