TIIE novelties announced by Mr..
i Gatti for the coming season include
two operas new I" this country. Mona
Lisa" bv Max S"hIllings. and ".\nimn
Alegra." by Nittadini. There will be
six revivals. mono of which brings any
especial thrills TO the opera lover. There
will be Romeo ct Juliette," Gopnod

The director Of the Metropolitan an
nounces lot Of new singers, the names
of most of whom are unfamiliar in this
country. except Nile. Ina BOurskaya.
the mezzo soprano. who created such a
d tine impression both Dy her singing and
her acting with the Russian Opera
I Company. All Of the really important
singers under contract this season re-
! main, except Mabel Garrison. whose
name does not appear on the roster, and
Geraldine Farrar. whose retirement
was made known in the middle Of th"
| current season.
One significant thing about the new
singers Of the Metropolitan i that tive
of th'm are from Germany. This might
indicate that Mr.. Gatti will produce
the Wagnerian operas next season with
singers trained TO the particular school
his Italian and other non -German stars
have shown conclusively that if the
Metropolitan wants to give Wagner in
true Metropolitan style and according
to the traditions of that great company
in the past, some singers born to tn,
Wagnerian tradition must be had. Al
the rancors of the war die away anC
, common sense in art asserts itself, thii
situation will undoubtedly clear withou
, help.

The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1922-12-22


The Simmons Road law, as enacted
by the last Kentucky Legislature,
was on Friday of last week declar-
ed to be unconstitutional by the APP
pellate Court. This act was another
of two of the late legislatures par
tisan attempts to be held for naught
by Kentucky's highest Court. Before
it was the obnoxious registration law.
The chief reason for the Courts de-
cision in the road law was due to
the fact that the General Assembly
created new offices and then attempt
ed to name the incumbents, which
the Court says it had-no right to do.
The sub-structure of the greatest
political machine known in recent
State history was laid by the Demo-
cratic majority in the act voided by
the Court. Day by day, more and
more, we may see the absolute neces-
sity of sane, sensible and seasoned
courts composed Of a comparative
few to hold the rest of us in check
when we start running to seed in Civ
en- directions.
The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1922-12-22

q. In this issue, we reproduce short
article carried by the press this week
relating to American exports during
the present year and particularly for
the month of November, And do
not forget that it is and was under
the FordneyIMcCumber tariff law,
enacted by the present Republican
Administration. The report shows
a total export business of $3S3,O00,-
900. The November increase over
October was $12,0OO,0OO, 0.O0O,-
900 greater than exports of the same
month last year and $13S,000,O0O in
excess of exports for Nov. 1913, the
first year of President Wilson's term.
The free trade and tariff opponents
have been yelling themselves hoarse
that the recent tariff act had ruined
the Country's export business and was
responsible for almost all of our III
1ancial ills. Prophesied and declar-
The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1922-12-22

We have no enemies, at least we
make no acknowledgements of that
fact, here and now, and to all of our
