try has been undetermined by new
conditions. II fears that New Eng:
land as an American workshop is
in danger of q ruinous collapse.
Having enjoyed INDUSTRIAL leadership
It now fears industrial extinction.
The reasons given for these fears
are principally the following:
Higher freight rates have in
creased the cost Of fuel and there
fore Of power to the factories OF New
England in comparison with the
cost for the Western factories built
near the mouths of coal mines.
Higher freight rates have also In
creased the cost Of raw materials
such as cotton. wool and steel to the
factories Of New England In COM
parison with the cost for the West.
ern and Southern factories built near
the sources OF raw material.
The movement of the center Of our
population westward is continuously
taking the center of our national buy.
ing market farther and farther away
from New England.
These new conditions lead some
pessimists in New England 70 pre-
dict that the manufacturers una
workmen OF New England will mi
crate In large numbers to the West.
and that New England viii be left to
be a region noted only for its output
of retired investors and intruding
tourists.
Against this pessimism many other
New Englanders rise up to summon
New England to save its life by the
exercise OF immediate drastic inteili-
gence and energy. These optimistic
observers and exhorters seem to tall
into two GLASSES. One class is crazy
to cut wages. 10 believes that the
only way to edealize the competition
between a handicapped New England
on the one hand and a runaway
West and South on the other, Is to
cut New England's wages to the bare
bono and also to lengthen New Eng
lands working hours. This explains
the amazing bitterness and stubborn
ness, for instance. OF the fight to re-
duce wages and lengthen hours in
the textile mills of New Hampshire
throughout the present textile strike,
which now In New Hampshire has
lasted more than six months.
Meanwhile, a prophet Of a DIFF.
ferent way of saving the prosper.
ity. Of New England has arisen In
the person Of New Hampshire's
well known Progressive former
governor, Robert Bass. Mr.. Bass
opposes the cutting OF wages and
the lengthening of hours for the
reason that such methods might
drive New England's best workmen
out to the better conditions of the
Mississippi Valley. In place Of a
skinning of labor Mr.. Bass pro
poses a pan which SO closely fits
the facts Of the case that II per
haps can be regarded not only as
plan. but also as a safe prophecy
II gives a picture Of what New
England is going to do in order
to keep its high place in this
country.
There will be dams and direct
power plants in all the numerous
flowing streams Of New England
and the New England manufacturers
will be able to do lot Of wagglins
of their fingers at coal operators
west Of the Hudson. There will be
great paintings Of trees in New
England's enormous waste places

CANTATA FEATURE
COMMENCEMENT OF
SCHOOL OF MUSIC

.'Hiawatha's Wedding Feast, the
colerdige-Taylor cantata, was the
musical feature of commencement
exercises of Augustana Conserva-
tory of Music last night, presented
in the college gymnasium before
hundreds of tri-city people. Eacn
year, Arvid Samuelson, the very
able director of the conservatory,
plans a unique feature for the an
nual exercises, and this year ne
quite outdid himself in planning
and conducting the presentation OF
the beautiful cantata..
A chorus of 120 selected voices,
including many of the graduates,
assisted by the Tri-City Symphony
orchestra, had practiced for weeks
and weeks on the choral part of the
cantata which has only one SOLO
part, taken last night by Rollo L..
Killing. Under the direction Of
Mr.. Samuelson, the unison singing
had been worked to a remarkable
degree of perfection. Presented
amid setting of trees suggestive
of the scenes which the cantata de
picted, the characters dressed in
Indian costumes, was completely
realistic.
Coming as a break between the
heavy choral parts of Longfellow $
poem, was the love song sung by
Chibiabos, Mr.. Killing. The beauti-
full words of Indian love making
were a delightful contrast to the
more hilarious and heavier choral
singing telling of the wedding feast.
Character parts were taken by
Roy Anderson, Mr.. Killing, Fridolf
Swenson, Miss Louise Cervin, Miss
Kathryn Meme as Minnehaha and
Wallace Swanson and Hiawatha.
Earl Papenbrock, pianist. and E. :
gene Nordgren. organist, members
OF the graduating class, were &C
companists with the orchestra.
Preceding comforting of degrees
and distribution of diplomas by DR..
G. A. Andreen, president of the co..
lege, a short musical program Was
given. Two candidates for the de-
gree of bachelor of music, Miss
Regina Holmen of Essex, Iowa, and
Miss Thyra Soderberg, both in
structorS at the conservatory, as
sisted by Symphony orchestra, rem
dered solo numbers. Eugene Nord-
gren gave the orgCn prelude, which
was followed by the invocation by
DR.. E. F. Bartholomew. Miss Hol-
men and Miss Soderberg, who also
received teachers certificates in
pipe organ, were enthusiastically
received. The former played An
dante Spianato and Grand Polon-
also On % (CbnDjO) and fba Io+far

tons, both to orchestral accompani-

The guests were served delicious
lunch in the dining room, where
the wedding colors, rose and old
blue, were used. Streamers from
the chandelier went to each place,
and place cards and nut cups sug-
gested in color scheme. The gifts
formed the table centerpiece. Miss
Buettner received many lovely gifts
for her new home.
