RACHMAN|NOFF
CHARMS HIS
AUDIENCE
Program of Distinct Merit
Presented by Great Russ
Pianist.
By WILLIAM MOORE.

"I've often read of the melan-
cholia that is apparently part and
parcel of the Russian nature, but it
never was brought home to me i'll
such forcIble fashion as at the Rach-
mammoth concert this afternoon,
said Mrs. M. as we sloshed our way
across Pennsylvania avenue last
evening after attending the delight
full piano recital at Polls Theater.
Personally, Rachmaninoft does
not seem to be of a melancholic turn
Of mind, despite his saLurnine' ex-
PRESTON l replied, lodging sea-
going taxicab. If you look closely
you will find humorous twitch to
his mouth and genial expression
about the eyes that belle the old
bromide.
"Ah, but back of it all, l can see
the years and years of oppression
cropping out of his own compost
tons. Take that G sharp minor pre-
lude, for example. All the emotions
are depicted with skillful artistry.
There is the deep plant of the down.
trodden Russ, the pilgrimage to the
Siberian mines, the crack of the
Cossack's whip-melancholia 1t is
Dramaw
II see, my dear, the concert has
made a profound impression upon
you," l said, slyly. Where do we
eat?"
Ignoring my query, Mrs. M. con-
tinued:
''Rachmaninoff is a great expo
nent of Chopin and List. These
two composers appear to be his ia
tho
rious programs he gives. His inter-
probation of Chopin, particularly the
group he played today-fantasy, noe
curate. The Liszt "Liebestraum"
and Spanish Rhapsody left me
awe-stricken. AS you critics say, 1t
was music of poignant beauty.
"Rachmaninoff's volcanic energy
some vast tidal energy that rocks
mountains. And yet he can be as
tender as a loving parent, some
times coaxing and sometimes ad-
monishing his refractory themes"
II was particularly interested in
his Chaikovsky numbers the Vari-
atoms and the Invitation to the
Trepak,'" I said. "The technical
brilliance of the former, and the
impressionistic rowdyIsm Of the lat
ter were a delightful contrast, show
ing two sides of the great Russ
nature
"Uh-huh," agreed Mrs. M, with
a PARKWAY look. Suddenly she
pinched my arm.
"But the prelude! Did you ever
hear it interpreted like he did it?
1t was worth the 1885 admission to
hear it. Hereafter I never expect
to hear anyone play the c sharp
minor prelude correctly. Its prope1
Interpretation must be left with it's
composer"
BY this time we had arrived at our
restaurant and the conversation
turned to a discussion of the menu.

of Nations or to assume the obliga-

did, however, commit himself to the

ian reasons, the Presidents idea being
to render the law more humane for
the purpose of permitting those al
ready here greater latitude in Sc
curing admission of members of their
own families.
Mr.. Coolidge suggested that 'tthe
national laws governing the choice of
members of the Congress should be
extended to include appropriate rep
resentation of the respective parties
at the ballot box and equality of rep
resentation on the various registra-
ton boards, wherever they exist.
Referring to reforms in the judici
airy, the Chief Executive recommend
ed that provision be made for the
appointment Of a commission, to con-
|sist of two or three members of the
federal judiciary and as many mem
bers of the. bar, to examine the
present criminal code of procedure
and recommend to the Congress
measures which may reform and ex-
pedite court procedure in the admin
istration and enforcement of our
criminal laws" He also favored the
establishment of a national police
bureau which would be helpful in
the prevention and detection of
crime.
Of matters relating to the Civil
Service, the President urged that
"first, second, and third class post
masters, and without covering the
present membership the field force of
brought within the classified service
1x, ~ fl,o
President remarked that whatever
it's defects, the merit system is GER
tainly to be preferred to the spoils
system"
Though nobody expects the present
Congress to deal with the question,
the President renewed his demand for
legislation covering reorganization of
federal departments.
Dealing with national defense and
foreign affairs, the President indicat-
ed that he was not very much i'm
pressed with reports of the magnitude
of military equipment of other ma
tions. He feels that "any nation un-
dertaking to maintain military es-
tablishment with aggressive and i'm
perialistic designs will find itself Sc
verely handicapped in the economic
development of the world. 81 believe
thoroughly in the Army and Navy,
in adequate defense and preparation.
But l am opposed to any policy of
competition in building and maintain
ing land or sea ornaments (" He
sanctioned many of the proposals of
the American Legion regarding hos
pitalization of the veterans of all
wars.
AS to foreign relations, Mr.. Cool
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1924-12-04

the effect of the present method of
this taxation is to increase the cost
of interest on productive enterprise
and to increase the burden of rent "
Dealing with the subject of agri-
culture, the President informed Con-
gress that he did not approve of class
favoritism, with one occupation
striving to secure advantages Power
another" He insisted that "each
must proceed under open opportuni-
ties and with a fair prospect of eco
nomic equality. The Government
can not successfully insure prosper
ity or fix prices by legislative fiat"
Mr.: CS.lidge pointed out that
has decreased the cost production. y
Emphasizing his opposition to sys-
tenn of price-fxing or subsidies to
agriculture by the Government, the
President said that the farmer has
been brought to a parity with the
rest of the nation through normal
and natural application of economic
laws. He explained to the Congress
that the Agricultural Commission
which he assembled recently would
as to legislature measures helpful to
the farmers in time for action at this
session.
The recommendation was made
that Congress should continue nego-
tiations looking to the sale of Muscle
Shoals properties to private interests.
Indirectly referring to Henry Ford's
withdrawal of bids, the president
was inclined to believe that no one
of the interested parties had given
final terms.
The Chief Executive reiterated
his views that the consolidation of
railways was essential to develop
ment of transportation systems. He
recommended that the consultations
be carried out with due regard to
the public interest. The opinion was
expressed that several changes should
be made relating to the merchant ma
rine. In proposing the reorganiza-
ton of the Shipping Board, Mr..
Coolidge said: "The immediate re-
quirement is to transfer into the
Emergency Fleet Corporation the
whole responsibility of operation of
the fleet and other property, leaving
to the Shipping Board solely the duty
of determining certain major policies
which require deliberative action. !"
He suggested that the highway con-
troversial Section % of the Merchant
Marine Act should be suspended until
Congress can reconsider the entire
question that has been developed
since its enactment.
Modification of the Administrative
features of the immigration law was
urged upon Congress for humanitar.
