To A Good Fellow

II was a touching moment when
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge Of Massa-
chusett3, on behalf Of the majority Of
the Senate, presented the retiring
Vice President with a loving cup in
testimonial Of the friendship that all
senators bear towards Mr. Marshall
at is the desire Of the Senate" safd
Mr.. Ledge, ito manifest in something
more than formal resolution the per-
sonal regret which all Of us feel at
the fact that we are about to separ-
ate. | am sure ! am speaking in be-
half Of all the senator's, to express to
you the affection that we feel for you,
our sense Of your unvarying kindness
TO each one Of us, the thoroughly
human way in which you have always
dealt with us individually, and we
wish that you should take with you a
symbol Of our feelings" At the con-
clusion Of the presentation the SEN
ators rose to the feet and applauded
for several minutes.
The kindly feeling that the senators
hold for former Vice President Mar
shall is heightened by knowledge Of
the fact that but for the perverse dis
position Of the former occupant Of the
White House he would have been
President Of the United States. Ac-
cording to the letter and spirit Of the
Constitution Mr.. Wilson was unable
to perform the duties Of President
from the day he was stricken with i'll
ness, over II months ago. From that
day Mr.. Marshall should have taken
over the. Presidency, and, according
to all principles of sound government,
he should also have administered the
Office during the months that Mr.. Viii
son chose to desert his own country
for the glamour of European capitals
But though the country undoubtedly
suffered from the fact that there was
a practical vacancy in the Office of
chief executive for over two years in
the aggregate, Mr.. Marshall is en-
titled to high praise for the self-re-
straint he imposed upon himself. Mr..
Wilson condescended to allow the Vice
President to preside at one cabinet
meeting, but aside from that empty
honor he was deprived Of the distinc-
ton that was his Constitutional due

twenty-five, had been president Of

frigerated his blood, nor had his
heart become academized by postula-
tum. He had Franklin's contempt for
display. As President he would not
have gone to Europe. Imperial trap
pings and the incense Of Timber

have lured him from his post of duty.
He would have picked the best, re-

with intrigue.
"Clark was severely criticized for his
statement in 1917 that he had rather
be a convict than conscript.' This I
was falsely interpreted. His faith in
American patriotism was so strong
that he deemed IL reflection on our
people to legislate them into a duty
which they would have volunteered to
perform. He missed the significance

CAPITAL CHAT
Whitfield II Down


Washington, Mar. 15-At the recent
session of Congress, Congressman
Melvin o. Mclaughlin Of Nebraska
made a determined fight against the
inclusion in the agricultural appro-
priation bill Of an item for free seeds
The provision has been bone Of con-
tention in every such bill for years.
This year the Senate struck out the
language that the House had insert
ed appropriating $4,000 for the pur-
chase and distribution Of the seeds.
When the subject was again before
the House, Mr.. Mclaughlin urged his
colleagues 70 agree TO the Senate
amendment. VERY few people in az
ricultural districts. where we would
suppose that people would be inter
ested in this proposition, are in favor

OLE BULL ONCE PLAYED
VIOLIN MADE OF BRASS

Persons who browse among antique
shops in the large cities of Europe AMI
America occasionally come across mu-
steal instruments that are unusually
interesting. not only for their age, or
reported age. but also for their his
torical value. Old spinets. harps
horns and similar instruments are
more or less common and their chief
market lies with collectors. who are
not particularly interested in their
music-producing qualities.
Once in while there is found In one
Of these antique shops an instrument
that Is really unique. as was the case
recently In a shop in New York. where
was shown a violin made entirely Of
brass-body. neck, bridge and tuning
pegs. According to the historical
sketch accompanying the violin IL was
made in 1853 by Hezekiah Quarles,
who was apprentice at the time to
John David. a leading silversmith In
Philadelphia. The instrument Is said
to have been played by Ole Bull and
other famous violinists of other years
and to have had a surprisingly good
tone.
The bow for the violin. also of brass,
has disappeared. but when fitted with
modern gut strings the brass violin
emits tones that are not at all nm
pleasant.

Vaudeville Part in Nation S Music

Modern vaudeville plays q vital
part in the music OF the nation not
only as q factor In the commercial
side Of the music publishing game.
but from the actual exploitation of
artists OF every calibre from grand
opera down to opponents of the most
piebeian "jazz."
The selling of sheet music is based
on exploitation alone as there il
seldom any advertising used outside
exploitation for the most part is in
the hands Of vaudeville artists, as
musical numbers in productions are
usually restricted. Very often vaude-
VILE artists have been paid to sing
certain musical compositions, the
publishers figuring that a vaudeville
artist will sing before more than co.
900 people each week and that quite
a few of the 10000 will want to Sc
cure copies OF the song that has had
the advantage of professional presen-
tation.
The very nature of vaudeville and
it's organization makes IL particular
ly appealing from a musical stand
point. Because OF the length OF time
allotted to each act IT 10 impossible
to present elaborate or lengthy
operas. hence. II Is necessary, and

flying. to select tho highlights and
outstanding harmonious bits from
celebrated scores. The Sextette from

deville musical presentations.
