SANG TO STUDENTS
| IContinued FROM Page IL

last night by Florence Macbeth and
the Orpbeus club: but there have
been variety Of things brought to
my observation during the past TWEEN
ty- four hours CT go, that in their es-
sence reject the highest credit upon
this city. First is The splendid sup
port that has been given the two
concerts It has been my good fortune
TO attend here. The second has been
the keenness of discrimination mani
tested by the audiences in signifying
no error at any time; the best and
most musical numbers have been
given the most sincere and whole
hearted applause. This. to an in
terested outsider, is one Of the most
valuable assets community can
have. 1t bespcaks appreciation or
the most valuable kind, that should
find reflection In the support given
every worthy musical event in the
life of the city.
One may also be permitted to say
that Miss Macbeth has exhibited the
finest type of community spirit by
coming across this great continent
in order to do something for the city
and the art she loves, withot money
and without price. AS she intimated
in the able little speech she made:
10 do something for her home town
and her home folks
Again speaking as an outsider |
think It. was wonderfully fine thing
for her to do and if it produces the
right kind of reaction her folks" are
going to stand back OF everything
that is attempted for the cause of
good music.
An impressive feature of these
concerts has been the fact that the
men of the chorus have sung from
memory. something that is only done
on rare occasions by male organiza-
tons of this kind. Not only have
they accomplished this very neces-
sary thing. if club is to give their
absolute Rest; they have even ad-
vanced far enough in their sincerity
Of purpose toward the ideal their
leader is working for, that they sang
the Sextette from "Lucia' in The
original language; feat that very
few similar clubs would attempt.
In this connection i may be added
that Mr.. George Roberts, Miss Mac
beth's accomplished accompanist.
played the Accomplishments entirely
Interpretation achieved in this man
ner will live long in the memory.
The sympathy existing between solo
list and instrumentalist brought about
by Mr. Roberts ability to do this,
exercised an unconscious effect upon
the audiences.
So far as the concert last night is
concerned it may be emphatically
stated that it was better than the
opening night. The men had found
themselves; they sang with greater
ease and assurance, and the result
was a finer body of tone and a closer
knit ensemble, that found its happiest
fruition in the selections that Miss
Macbeth sang with the club.
Mankato will without doubt play a
prominent role in the growth. of must
cal interest and the improvement of
musical taste in the state by the fine
things they have done along musical
lines and the finer things they pro-
pose to do.

NEED HELP
PLEA OF NORTHERNPACIFIC
HEAD TODAY
Government Should Aid Rail
Owners To Restore Their
Plants
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch. ]

Washington, May 25.-The govern
ment should aid the railroad owners
to restore their plants to pre-war
conditions not only in physical as
poets but also in earning power
through suitable adjustment of income
and outgo, Howard Elliott. chairman
of the Northern Pacific road today
told a senate committee investigat-
ing the transportation situation. The
railroads were turned back to their
owners, Mr.. Elliott said. with their
earning power practically annihilat-
ed" and nowhere near the basis Of
19i7.
Coming back with their earning
power destroyed" he added, was
just as much contrary to the spirit
of the law and the presidents proc
lamation when he took the roads ov
er as was their return with their
equipment run down and plant de-
Perforated.
"A general reduction of freight
rates will not help solve the present
complicated economic and psycholo-
will still further reduce the ability OF
the road to survive and become buy
ers themselves of those articles which.
when they are prosperous. they use
in such large quantities.
No Profits Made Last Three Years.
I'm saying this l do not mean that
no rates should be readjusted, be-
cause there are some now in process
of adjustment. but l believe it would
be unfortunate to give the impress
sion at this time that the railroads
can be sustained as contemplated by
the transportation act, and at the
same time make any general reduc-
tions in freight rates, until it is evil
dent that expenses have been re-
duced enough to justify such reduc-
tions."
MI Elliott declared there was no
imitation" of railroad prices to a
point where any large profit was re-
ceived. I'm fact" he said, mo profit
was made at all in 1918. 1919 and
1920, so there is no basis for def1a
tion of railroad prices or rates at
the present time. Rather there is a
necessity for holding them where
they are until the country finds out
what will be the results on the rail-
roads under the new transportation
act and the orders of the commerce
commission and the labor board"
