INTERPRETS WORK
OF TWO COMPOSERS
Lecturer Tells of Background and
Thought of Schubert and
Beethoven.

Beethoven and Schubert were the
subjects of an interesting talk given
In the auditorium of Central High
School last night under the auspices
of the Society of Fine Arts by Alfred
J. Swan, musician and lecturer.
Mr.. Swan showed in the course of
his talk how, although the French
Revolution changed the situation
completely in European politics. 1t
did not affect the styles of thought in
music. Mozart was undoubtedly the
genius of the eighteenth century, he
said. and his music still stands alone
in the refined type of court music.
Beethoven was filled with the
spirit of revolt. however" Mr.. Swan
added. He had strong character
and ideas that were entirely unlike
those of his cotemporary musicians.
Schubert, on the other hand. although
younger and living In the same town
at the same time as Beethoven. was
totally uninfiuenced by the latter
ideas and was practically his antith-
esis in musical thought and mode Of
expression. Schubert was somewhat
influenced by the works of Mozart.
but he was OF a different epoch, and
this fact was reflected in his music.
Where Schubert used harmony as har-
mony alone, Mozart used harmony as
the background for melody"
Mr.. Swan stated also that Beetho-
ven's music may be easily divided into
three periods--the first. the noisy pc
riod; the second. the period when he
was affected by close communion with
nature; the third, the period when he
realized his sight was going and he
became interpretive and his thoughts
of this world and the next were COM
bined in a philosophy that is reflected
in the later COMPOSITIONS of his life.

j. D. c. TO RE-ENACT
ELECTION OF 1928
District Chapters Assemble
Tomorrow in Move to
Settle Dispute.

Without a president for more than a
week. and in the opinion of a majority
of the chapters with only de facto"
government for more than a year, men,
bers OF the District of Columbia divi-
sion OF the United Daughters of the
Confederacy will meet tomorrow MORN
ing at Confederate Memorial Hall to re-
peat the repudiated convention held
December 6 last year and to elect in
1924 officers for 1923.
This seeming paradox, a fact in real
ity. has come about as result of an in
terna1 disruption within the organiza
ton In Washington dating back to De-
cember 8 last year. when six chapters of
the District division left the convention
incensed over what they termed unpar-
liamentary tactics on the part Of the
presiding officer of the convention and
the credentials committee.
Proceedings Cancelled.

1ncensed a. the unparliamentary tactics
of the ruling faction. six chapters took
an appeal to Mrs. Frank Harold. presi-
dent general. Mrs. Harold recognized
the officers elected last December as de
facto'' officers, and directed that they
keep on with the work, pending a de-
cision by the national executive board.
The executive board met at the
annual convention held at Savannah,
Ga. November IS, upheld the de-
cision of the president general. de-
claring the existence of de facto''
District of Columbia, but decided
that the District convention was
never organized and that no business
transacted within the convention was
legal.
New Election Ordered.
The board also directed that "a
call for the convention of 1924 be
issued by the officers of 1928 dur
ing the last week in November, 1924,
and that the president of the division
for 1928 fix the date of the an
nuai convention of 1924 and preside
at the convention.
So tomorrow both factions will
meet at the direction of the executive
committee to thrash out their diff
CultieS. Mrs. Hutton will be in the
chair and will see that all consti-
tutional rights in the matter of
seating of delegates are observed.
This she was directed to do by the
national board.
The so-called insurgents" elected
a candidate, Mrs. d. c. Ludlow. She
has never been seated. Her regime
was not recognized, since Mrs. Har-
rold recognized the de facto" govern
ment.
They now have another candidate,
Mrs. James Trimble of 1914 Lamont
street, u me n,er of Hilary A. Her

her tomorrow.

The Value of Character
Rated by Educators

Personality records OF graduates in
engineering, declared equally or more
valuable than scholarly achieve
ments. are now kept by the Univer-
sity of California and are made avail
able for manufacturers and other en-
ployers of young engineers.
All juniors and seniors are rated
both by members Of the faculty and
by their fellow students as to char
acter, address, appearance, leader
ship, disposition, popularity, speed in
work, accuracy and attention to de-
tail. A student committee is asked
each year to rate the members of its
class. These ratings are compared
with those Of the faculty and an av-
erage thus Is struck. The students
rating has the weight of one in
structor's rating. and. according to
the university authorities, it has been
found that the students are more strict
than the teachers.
The personality records not only
are interesting, but should prove
valuable. When a student enters the
business world. the mere fact that he
is a college graduate will not earn
| him employment. The majority OF
employers want character, as much
as education, as a qualification. But
these records have a further value in
| that they show whether a man Is quail
| ified to hold certain positions. AS an

The note struck by Senator Walsh
In his address upon accepting the
permanent craftsmanship Of the Dem
oGratic national convention was of the
same tone, if in somewhat lower
key. as that sounded Tuesday by
Senator Harrison.
The chord to be played whether in
the high treble of fervid campaign
bombast or the lower octaves of more
dignitied oratory, is now recorded.
The republican party must be held
responsible for the betrayal perpe-
trated upon the nation by certain of
its members Let the electorate cast
them out or stand forever shamed in
the eyes Of the world" This is. in
effect. the refrain TO which the Dem.
ocratic campaign symphony is appar-
emily ever to recur.
Contemplating the significance of it
all, the reactions Of those interested
in human nature and hence in poll
tics do not include amaZement. A
serviceable if somewhat ugly weapon
has been placed ready to the hand Of
the Democratic party. and that they
should, facing as they do a vital
struggle, make use thereof is normal.
But what strikes the onlooker is how
utterly they are apparently proposing
to depend upon the weapon which a
shabby and shameful instance of in
dividual venality has rendered avail
able to them, an impression inevitably
followed by speculation as TO how
helpless they would otherwise have
been
In word, it would appear that the
Democrats are either rating the Re
publicans as alreaG5 defea ted-as, to
borrow d phrase from the squared
ring. a "set-up" unworthy of serious
and dignified political attack-or else
they lack powerful weapons of normal
offense for use in the struggle. There
Is no keen Indictment of republican
Legislative or administrative achieve
ment, but rather an eagerness to
claim cooperation in much that has
been we'll done. There is no earnest
and sincere pledge of wise reform or
needed innovation. There is every
indication that the Democrats hope
and expect to win on a foul COM
mitted by one of their antagonists

has been sacrificed as punishment for
the betrayal of public trust by a
faithless few. If not justified it will
be the more significant compliment
to the honesty of the President and a
lesson to the Democratic party based
upon the old text relative to eggs
and a basket.

The Convention Program.

The Democratic party is reversing
the usual order of things In sched-
uling the nominating speeches ahead
of the platform adoption. Usually a
national convention proceeds first to
organize and keynote" then to adopt
rules. then to keynote some more,
then to adopt a platform and then
to crate on the claims and merits of
respective candidates and favorite
sons, with the balloting following at
once.
There is a good reason for this
change Of program at New York. The
making Of a platform, it was known
in advance. would not be an easy
task, but would take long time.
The convention. might amuse itself
while waiting for the report Of the
resolutions committee by what are
known on the official program as
Optional speeches." But that kind
of talk gets nowhere. Delegates are
impatient for real action. So why
not use the time while waiting for
the platform to be rolled into the
convention hall from the committee
room, with the inevitable traditional
and more or less necessary eloquence
and demonstrations in favor OF the
nominees Of the states?
So there VIII b . hiatus between

The defeat of Gen. Jan SHUTS in
recent South African election practi-
cally completes the elimination of
the considerable figures Of the Paris
conference of five years ago. Death
or political disaster, in the case of
Mr. Wilson both, has overtaken prac-
tically every man of even incon-
siderable rank in that momentous
gathering.
SHUTS was really important largely
because he was an easy weapon at
the hand of Lloyd George, who was
eager to prevent Hughes of Aus
| tralis from occupying anything like
the role his contributions during the
conflict seemed to warrant. Thus very
early in the Paris sessions it was
Smuts who was called upon to do the
important tasks, just as he had been
sent on the notorious excursion to
Switzerland during the conflict itself.
At Paris, Smuts, despite the later
renown, gave little evidence of any
real liberal spirit. He was RESPONSE
BILE for the inclusion Of war PEN
sions in the sum total Of reparations,
one of the main causes for the undue
expansion of this total, and he ac-
quired his reputation for moderation,
such as it was, after the treaty had
been made by being one of it's first
has lain in the fact that he, like
Botha, accepted the results Of the
Boer war and entered into the task
of cooperation with the British pop
ulation. A shrewd politician, al
| though lacking the real charm and
popularity of Botha, he was of ut
most service in keeping South Africa
in line during the war, when the
rah Ter n
| the Africanders against British rule.
X X !:
Just how loyal to the empire Smuts
has ever been Is a matter OF in
teresting conjecture. His British
critics have more than once said that
the chief difference between Smuts
and Herzog lay in the question of
time: that both wanted q South AZ
rica free from British rule, but SHUTS
believed in waiting until the obvious
benefits of British association could
be had, while Herzog was for i'm
mediate independence.
Many South Africans, on the other
hand-that is. many Of the Dutch
never forgaVe SHUTS for joining the
conduerors after the war and assist
ing the British in crushing De Wet
and Herzog in the world war time.
His political power rested upon the
support Of the British element and
minority of the Dutch. But this
power was fatally compromised when
the British element was divided by
the creation of Labor party. In the
last South African Parliament Smuts
barely held majority, but it was
too insecure to last.
Now the latest elections, once more
dominated by fusion, by the bloc
system, have given to the COM
bination OF the Dutch Nationalists
and the Labor party a decisive ma
jority. the Dutch party alone count
ing more seats than SHUTS group,
and Herzog will replace the col
league Of Lloyd George at Paris.

ecutive with a clean personal rec
ord, and representing an important
pivotal" state. he was ideally con-
stituted for the purpose. But he is a
member of religious faith that Is
not favored by great many Ameri-
can voters for prefernent for highest
office. This was recognized at the
time as a handicap. Gov. Smith,
it is said himself understood the pur-
pose of his proposal, without illusion
as to his availability" Then came
been the attorney or counsel for Do
heny, the oil magnate. 1t was at once
thought that his chances for the nom-
ination were destroyed. His stock fell
abruptly overnight.
That sudden check in the McAdoo
boom left Smith the outstanding fig
ure in the Democratic ranks for a
time. His friends redoubled their en-
ergies, seriously planning to secure
his nomination. Then McAdoo staged
I, remarkable comeback" Undis-
mayed by the popular reaction to a
disclosure Of his Doheny connection,
he carried the fight into all parts Of
the country and today he leads the
field. Smith Is second in strength.
His is q serious candidacy now. Per
haps neither Smith nor McAdoo can
win the nomination. but feelings of
intense bitterness have been engen-
dered by the pre-convention cam

Pheian's proposal OF McAdoo's name,

Whereas few weeks ago it seemed
incredible that such a question could
dominate at the national convention
of the Democratic party. today it is
a paramount issue which now cannot
be avoided or compromised.
