AN ORGAN TUNE As
A POPULAR SONG

1t is not surprising that Edwin
Lemare's famous organ piece,
"Cantabilc in D fat" has been
worked over into a popular ballad.
After having been played on
church organs and latterly on thea
ter organs TO the tune Of millions
OF times since 1892, the date Of It's
first publication, it now IS used as
the refrain Of song that bids fair
to become the years reigning song
and dance orchestra success, Tho
title, OF course, has been changed
to moonlight and Roses"
A more beautiful and simple
melody could scarcely be imagined,
When Lemare wrote 1t back in the
Victorian nineties he was a young
organist who had In mind the COM
position Of an organ piece combin-
ing melodic beauty, grace and art
up TO a certain point. The piece be-
came a prime favorite with church
organists, especially those who did
not make practice Of playing
sophisticated music very much.
Had this melody been identified
with an opera, heavy or light, 1t
would have attained worldwide
recognition long ago, As It was the
recognition vas worldwide but con-
fined to places where organs we're
played. When organ music began
to be reproduced upon photograph
disks il vas one of the first exam
pics 10 be recorded Now II has
been done" into a song and the
present generation likes the old
tune so we'll that soon one will be
unable 10 escape IT.
The result will he, with every
body humming il and the radio
statcing it every night, that the
public will tire OF it by the time
the winter has only partly passed
We not only popularize music IN a
hurry nowadays, but we also muir
der it quickly. It will be a pity
however, II the exquisite Lcmnre
theme is forced TO meet this fate
Come to think Of it, perhaps Its in
trinsic merits are OF kind to sur
vive such treatment, Maybe i
wont really be killed off DESPITE
the treatment We will give it within
the next few months - or until tn
next classic is done over into popu
lar music,

country. except the northwest,
where one great system went into
the hands OF a receiver.
As baromcters OF prosperity the
railroads are accurate. II there is
surplus OF empty freight cars II
means q business slump. II there
is a heavy tonnage, like the pres
ent, II means business activity. The
railroads are with us during times
OF prosperity and times OF dcprcs-
sion. but unlike many other bust
nesses, they are not able 10 pile UP
large SURPRISES during their pros
porous years 10 help tide them
over the lean years. Some few rail-
roads can do II to q certain extent;
but In the main t>~rc is no husl-
ness that Is conducted more on a
hand to mouth principle than the
railroad business.
The average private business,
during times OF prosperity, will set
aside a surplus for the rainy day
and most individuals do the same.
But the railroads do so but par
tally. In the case OF too many Of
our transportation systems, eras Of
prosperity are useful primarily as
means TO lower the previous de-
fcits or TO meet previously con-
tracted obligations; and Just about
the time when the deficits have
been paid off or nearly paid Oft, or
there is a comfortable sum in the
treasury, along comes another bust
ness slump; and the most certain
thing about It IL that the railroads
will register some more red ink
bookkeeping.
Manifestly, this ought not 10 be
the system OVERLAPPING such an i'm
portant industry as railroading,
yet what is going TO be done about
it under tho existing conditions? If
the railroads, during periods OF
prosperity. get too prosperous the
demands become insistent for low
er rates on the score that they
don't need the money; when they
slip financially during periods OF
lessened business the railroads tell
tho |, C. C. they need more reve-
nues because they are losing
money. while the public is equally
insistent that business doesn't JUS
tify paying more.
One thing is certain, however
and that Is good uniform manage
mcnt OF a railroad property over
long periods OF time brings results
very satisfactory 10 stockholders
and the public. II is the railroads
which lent themselves to undue
stock jobbing, steamship buying
dock buying, trolley buying and
uumbcrIoss other enterprises MOI
having anything 10 do with rail.
reading that seem to be in tn,
most difficulty most of the time
The lesson is worth learning, ant
applies to other business as we'll
Til" man who looks after his owl

Cummings REBUKE
IN SHARP LETTER
"FOur FIusheT" Used by Bald
win Defending Borah

Hartford Dec. Sin the follow
ing letter in which he practically
brands Homer s. Cummings as a
four flusher and in which intima-
lions, at least, of grating by some
national political is made, Roger S.
Baldwin, son OF former governor OF
the state, has replied to Cummings
recent speech at New Haven:
Singing Letter
The letter follows:
II had the pleasure of listening
last night to your presentation OF
the reasons why the United States
should join the world court, and ]
regret extremely that In advocating
so good a cause you found 1t
necessary to go out Of your way
in order to make al offensive attack
on the chairman of the foreign
relations committee of the United
States senate.
Peoples Champion
IAN men recognize that Senator
Borah Is one Of the strong men at
| Washington in public life. ! re-
gard him as the best bet that the
common people have to represent
them theer today Your mouthing
of his name last night struck me as
ludicrous, until recalled that you
we're speaking not so much TO the
intelligent audience sitting before
you as rather to that invisible audi
ence to which you were tied by the
microphone, to whom with the I'M
perfect reception Of the farmers
radio set, the reiteration would come
in as blah, blah, blah.
Record in Congress
Senator Borah's record at wash
ington from the time we entered tho
war in 1917 until the debacle Of the
Wilson administration will stand
comparison we'll with your own. And
Senator Borahs services to us farm
ers In putting through the filled milk
bill will compare very favorably with
your activities after the armistice IN
restoring the boys out OF the army
into the arms Of their worried man,
mas.
Some Quotations
Last night you were pleased TO
euologize President Roosevelt as a
great patriot. l recall how not long
ago before womans organization
at the Hotel Taft, following the
armistice. you referred to our hon
ored last president as That Blood
Warrior Consistency thou art a
: jewel Was it the immortal Bard OF
, Avon who said, Great Caesar dead
{ and turned to clay, a humble dog
{ may at him bay or lines to that eff
