FAME OF MAsCAGNI

There will be a cordial welcome in the United States for Pietro Mascagni, who is to make second visit to the United States in August He is no longer in the musical phenomenon that he was on his visit here more than score of years agO-the author of 1-act opera that swept over the world and is to this day undiminished in it's popularity. He has composed twelve operas since, but not one of them has advanced his fame or contributed to his popularity.
 Mascagni to this day stands for Ca valleria Rusticana," and nothing else in the operatie world. The Metropolitan has mounted "LAmico Fritz" Iris" and "Lodoletta" without creating any deeper musical memories than the cherry duet in the Erckmann- Catrian story and the hymn to the sun in the Japanese opera. "Lodoletta, even with Farrar and Caruso at the height of their popularity, did not leave foot print in operatic history.
 The composer is now 61 years old. He was only P when his masterpiece won tie Sonzogno prize at Milan in 800. He was S7 years old on his pre-

Swimming Draws Great Crowds Of Pleasure

LOEH'S CHANGE
 BILLS MONDAY
New Vaudeville And Pic
 ture Program Begins At BijOu

Tom Mix and Sid Jordan are at it again. This time it is in Eyes of the Forest" Mix's latest starring picture, which comes to Loew's Bijou all of this week, beginning Monday after noon, and their battle probably sets a record for heavyweight fights not ex- cluding those of Battling Levinsky and Jack Dillon.
 But the vaudeville bill of the bill of the week at Loew's Bijou also has a number of unusually entertaining offer ings, especially the headliner, a poppy revue of songs and dances, presented by Hester Bailey and Company, a quin- tette of three women and two men ar lists, who, according to leading critics, offer genuine entertainment of a high prder in this act.
 Arthur and Darling in "A Forest .1dyn," also have a feature act, present ing d. seres of contortion feats, altet- mated with singing and dancing, and more. music is injected by Clark and O'Neil melodious harmonistS, who prom ise a real songfest. Adding to the di- lversity of the offering of the week, Or ren and Drew present ''The Town Clown" an original novelty, with songs and limitations of birds, and Winehill and Briscoe also have something to keep the disabilities busy with their comedy chatter and songs.
 In his latest picture, "Eyes of the Forest" Tom Mix will be seen as a forest ranger, an officer in the mili- tary service whose duty it is to guard the forests from fire and lumber thieves. The girl in the case is Pauline Stark, whose work in "A Connecticut Yankee at King Arthur's Court won her film renown. Mix encounters her in a lonely forest shack, with her uncle, a backwoods doctor. He learns she is wanted on a charge of killing her step father. A band of lumber thieves is involved and the complications of the plot, evolved by Shannon Fife, make the picture one tingling with action and suspense throughout.
 Mix can usually be depended upon to pull an original stunt. In this picture he leaps from a racing horse, his own Tony, to an airplane, clutching the axle bar of the. wheels be- low the wings and rising thousands of feet in the air.

N[OONSHINE DID IT

Moonshine is stuff that can make a jack rabbit spit in the face of a bull dog, It makes humans spit in the face of fate,
 So that when William J. Hanifn, bank guard of the Union Trust Co.,. of Springfield, returned from Chi cago with the information that the drinking of moonshine caused him to disappear with $90QO0 of the banks funds, it was not surprising; at least, not as surprising as it would have been had Hanifin done this dur ing his sane moments.
 When the bank guard got over the effects of his spree he returned the money by express, according to his story, and himself jumped on a train for Springfield, where he now is liv. ing under the auspices Of the police authorities.

James Bryce, one of the most able and keencst observers of American institutions that ever wrote about them. penned the following on this point;
 This method is plainly susceptible of further and possibly dangerous application. Suppose a congress fAl president bent on hoing something which the Supreme court deems con- trary 10 the constitution. They pass statute. A case arises under it. The cunr% on the hearing of the case unanimously declares the statute to he null, as being hsyond the powers of congress. Congress forthwith passes and the president signs an- other statute more than doubling the number of the justices, The presi- dent ap points to the new Justiceships men who are pledged 10 hold the former statute constitutional. The senate confirms his appointments, Another case raising the validity of the disputed statute is brought up to the court. The new justices out vote the old ones; the statute is held valid; the security provided for the protection of the constitution is gone like a morning mist.
 "What prevents such assaults on the fundamental law - assaults which, however immoral in sub stance, would be perfectly legal in form? Not the mechanism Of gov- ernmcnt. for all its checks have been evaded. Not the conscience of the legislature and the president, for heated combatants seldom shrink from lustifying the means py the end, Nothing but the fear of the people, whose broad good sense and attachment to the great principles of the constitution may generally be re- lied on to condemn such perversion of it's forms. Yet if excitement has risen high over the country, ma jority of the people may acquiesce; and then it matters little whether what is really revolution be ac' complished by openly violating O. by merely distorting the forms o' law. To the people we come sooner or later; it is upon their wisdom ane self-restraint that the stability O the most cunBingly devised scheme of government will in the last resor depend.'

AsHURsT sTIRs RUMPUS

Senator Henry F. Ashurst of Ari- zona, who made an address at Lake Compounce last week has stirred ur something of row by saying in an interview that if a Democrat is elect ed in place of an unnamed member of the house of representatives, who recently resigned, the political com peMon of the house would be changed so as to make a tie between Republican and Democratic state delegations.
 A Washington dispatch says the statement of Senator Ashurst has importance in view of the discussion of the possibility that none of the n ajor contenders for president will receive a majority of electoral votes, thus requiring the house to exercise its constitutional duty of choosing a president.
 The senate stated that in event neither major party receives ma iority in the electoral college the election will be thrown into the house, which reassembles in Decem- her. At present 22 house delegations are controlled by Republicans, 20 by Democrats and one by the La Fol lette group. with five delegations evenly divided between Republicans and Democrats
 The senator's contention in the in- terview was that the delegation from inc unnamed state, believed to be North Dakota, would be changed by the election of a Democrat, making the lineup of delegations in the house a tie-21 each--for the major parties.
 If requires a majority of the 4S ! etate delegations, each delegation having one vote, to elect a president. The required majority is 25' four more than appears available to the major parties.
 In his interview Senator Ashurst said that if the presidential election ,ame before congress for settlement, Charles w. Bryan, Dmocratic nom ;nee for vice president, would cer- tainlv be elected vice president by tbe senate and would succeed to the presidency by reason of the failure of the house to elect a president"
 Senator Ashurst added if the Re nuhIicans desired to prevent thl' outcome. they cold easily do so b! having Republican delegations in the bouse vote for John w, Davis fol president
 Some observers deem it entirel! nrobahIe that sufficient Republican detegations in the house would vot' for Dawes rather than have Gov 7rvan exalted to the presidency 1T the senate.
