Music is wonderfully like friend

Music is wonderfully like friend
ship.
At the first meeting with a new
piece Of music one may or may not
like It.
Acquaintance improves the tune,
| but too close contact with II
finally leads to distaste for 1t.
Neither music nor friendship can
| be run into the ground" as the
saying is, without risking the losing
Of 1t.
Nor is 1t always possible to tell
at the outset of an acquaintance with
new melody or person. whether one
will continue to be pleased or not.
| Often it is difficult to decide whether
one Is pleased at the beginning. Some
times pleasure at first leads to non
liking in the end, at other times posi-
| tive distaste turns into liking.
A certain amount Of acquaintance
with any melody or more complicated
musical work usually Is necessary tC
allow the musical judgment, if one
/ may call it that, to be worth any
thing at all.
Thus only the finest sort of musi
clan has any right, upon the first hear
ing of a song, to declare positively
| II like it," or II do not like it,"
Yet nothing is more common than to
| hear some one at a concert, whose
training simply does not permit him
to render correct judgment on one
hearing, to declare with supreme posi-
| tiveness, THAT Is no good"
Luckily for the music, strong af.
frmation or negation on the part OF
any one hearer has nothing to dc
with the case!
Two persons are listening to a radio
| broadcast of selections from Auber's
Fra Diavolo," the light opera that
| once had a tremendous vogue.
The first man declares, II do not
| see a thing to this music"
The second, had he said what he
really thought, would have declared:
"How could you see anything in it?
You do not like 1t because you are not
acquainted with 1t. / enjoy it because,
in listening, l meet an old friend"
Such statement might be regarded
by the other gentleman as a bit of
intellectual snobbery, yet would be
nothing but the plain truth.
The plain truth, wholesome as 1t
may be, often is regarded by men
as unpalatable, because the human
mind is so constituted as to regard
truth as criticism.
And no one, it may be set down as
an axiom, likes criticism. One often
hears some one say, Tell me the
| truth, now, about this: but the
| chances are 10 to / that he does not
want the truth, but fiattery.
The truth has a way Of stinging that
has made it more honored in theory
than practice. The so.called educated
world packs around a huge impedi.
menta Of prejudices, concerning which
loneliness Is the universal rule.
Tell me the truth" he pleads.
But refrain, refrain!
Il X y
The more one. knows about music
and the wider his acquaintance with
various operas and lesser forms of
musical composition, the greater
chance he has to enjoy anything that
comes to him over radio, for instance.
The man who did not like the Fra
Diavolo" selection could "see" moth
ing at all in the melody "On Yonder
Rock Reclining" played as a part of
those selections.

searching criticism and re-examination
Of their ideas and ideals?
In the main, schools will not be
more adventurous than the adults
who create, control and conduct them;
schools do not so much reform as
they reflect society.
Second, our children are educated
more by the community in which they
live than by the school in which they
study.
If the ancient Talmudic axiom is to
be true in America, two things must
happen, viz:
We must develop an adult educa-
tion that will give us different adults
who will give us different schools.
We must stop confusing education
and schooling and realize that we
must pay as much attention to the
educational influence OF the commu-
nifty as we pay to the educational in
huence Of the schools.

A Dry Champion.

Senator William Il. Borah oil ldanC
wishes prohibition to be made promi
nent issue in the coming presidential
nate Gov. Smith of New York, Sena'
| tor Reed of Missouri or Gov. Ritchie
of Maryland, the Idaho Senator need
| not worry. The issue will be Joined.
There is not the slightest chance of
the Republicans naming a wet for
their standard bearer.
Mr.. Borah Is to deliver an address
in New York before the women's com.
! mittee on law enforcement, and at that
time he will call upon the political par
ties to declare themselves on the wet
and dry issue. He wishes an uncom.
promising declaration, apparently, in
support of the eighteenth amendment
and the national prohibition law, and
he wishes enforcement Of that law.
The Republican party, take it by
and large, is dry. Even in 20 called
wet States the Republicans have raj
ganizations have relied upon the Re-
publican party. This is true in New
York, Illinois, New Jersey, Massachu-
setts and other spots where sentiment
is moist" to say the least. But all
this does not satisfy Mr.. Borah. He
sees deliberate attempt under way
to nullify the eighteenth amendment
to the Constitution. And Mr.. Borah
is no nullifier. He sees the prohibi-
tion law widely violated. He demands
that the enforcement Of the law be
placed in the hands Of men who be-
lieve in prohibition. Mr.. Borah's atti-
tude Is the logical position of an ar
dent dry.
Months ago Mr.. Borah declared that
prohibition was still vital issue in
this country. Notwithstanding the fact
that the eighteenth amendment stands
in the Constitution and the Volstead
law on the statute books. His present
declaration Is merely reiteration Of
the stand he took then, when he de-.
bated with DR.. Nicholas Murray But.
Ter, president of Columbia University,
in Boston. The Idaho Senator has
been famous for an uncanny foresight,
an ability to feel in advance popular
and political movements. II prohibi.
ton becomes in the next few months
a real issue in the political campaign
Of 1928, Mr.. Borah will be prominent
in the picture. Already he is men.
toned as presidential possibility.
There are indications that Western
Progressives would line up gladly in
support of his candidacy. The Pro.
gressives for the most part are ardent
drys. AS a leader Of the dry and the
Progressive elements, Senator Borah
would assume formidable proportions.
Mr.. Borah's pronouncement regard.
ing prohibition is particularly inter.
esting in view Of the efforts Of other
presidential possibilities to soft.pedal
the issue. Even the friends of the re-.
doubtable Gov. Smith are spending
much Of their time telling the public
that Smith is strong for law enforce.
ment. Senator Reed Of Missouri be-
lieves that other issues should domi.
nate the political campaign. The Re.
publicans have been willing to let the
Democrats fight over the wet and dry
question. Now the Idaho Senator is
demanding that the G. o. P. get up on
its hind legs and fight the battle of
the drys actively. This may pain a
few Of the Republican leaders in the
East, certainly those who believe in
not troubling trouble.

Cleansing Trade Practice.

II organized business resents the
interference of Government, as eXem-
pIifled in the operation of the Federal
Trade Commission, the quickest and
simplest method of avoiding it Is a
voluntary agreement on the part OF
business to outlaw wrongful or unfair
competitive practices within its ranks.
Such is the advice of Edwin B. Parker,
chairman Of the board of directors or
the United States Chamber Of Com.
merce, as contained in an address yes
terday before the chambers national
council. The old maxim, LET the
buyer beware" is already being dis
placed in modern business practice by
application Of a new principle, LET
the vender beware lest he offend the
oanons Of fair dealing" said Mr..
Parker, and he illustrated his point
by reciting a number Of cases in which
the Federal Trade Commission had
abolished tricky methods in trade.
Some classes of business have been
antagonistic from the beginning as a
result of the Federal Trade Commits
sion's activity in stepping in and put
ting to rights things it considered
wrong in trade practices. In some
cases the commission has laid itself
open to we'll founded criticism. But,
as Mr.. Parker points out, this police
work by the Federal Government has
resulted from failure by industry first
to clean its own house. The public is
entitled to all the protection to be af-
forded by the agencies Of its Govern
ment. The public fundamentally is
not concerned about the source Of this
protection, but IL business does not
guarantee it, then the Government
must. One Of the best illustrations Of
steps taken by business to protect the
public, and incidentally to protect it.
self, is the rapid growth in prestige
and power Of the Better Business Bu-
reaus. These organizations approach
the ideal laid down by Mr.. Parker-a
cooperative endeavor on the part of
business and Government to keep the
ranks Of business clean and at the
same time to protect the public
against clever tricksters. The Better
Business Bureau does not possess the
power Of the Federal Trade Commits.
sion to issue an order to cease and
desist, but it is able to accomplish
much Of the same thing by warning
the guilty party that his practices, If
not Illegal, are unethical and should
be stopped. Failing there, the hand Of
the law stands ready to perform its
function.
There is place in the scheme of
things for such organizations as the
Federal Trade Commission. And the
business world should come to regard
1t In time as friend and ally instead
OF meddlesome interloper. When
business performs its own detective
work and calls upon the Federal Trade
Commission to enforce the law, the
benefits to be derived from such an
arrangement will extend not only to
the public and to the Government, but
to business itself,

WALLACE BEERY PRESENTS
 sEWARD|TE WITH GIFT

Police officer, Smiling Earl Reed was honored recently in Los Angeles by Wallace Berry when the famous comedian presented him with gold police whistle in recognition of the long standing friendship between them. The names of both were en- graved on the side.
 The only interest that this item has to local residents is that officer Reed is a former Sewardite, he and his wife having left here few years ago for Hollywood to enter, for the sec ond time, the service of the Holly wood police department. When in Seward Mr. Reed worked for the post office and also for the Standard Oil plant. Mrs Reed was quite tal- ented and had at one time starred with Bill Hart. She is a typical daughter of the West, having grown up on a southern ranch and was ex- tremely dexterous with the lariat, performing the majority of feats now done by ropers.

 How many people in Seward know that about POI years ago construction of railroad started from Balboa bay to the Westward? At that time 16 claims of bitmnous coal located but upon the conservation act which has halted Aaskas progress snce-going in to effect all work and the claims abandoned.
 The railroad would have been constructed on one| per cent grade with TOO foot rise and being built but for purpose, that of bringing to hde-water| coal for export to the States There it would have been placed the market in competition with other coal.
 Some of the veins and outcroppings seven feet III width and plentiful is the coal throughout the entire district that the few people who living there have been using 1t for years.
 Today, 20 years later, Alaska is once again on the threshold of exporting coal to the States Naturally the question is often asked, what the powers that be going to do to now? In humble opinion cannot conceve what regulations could be attached And the only Alaska coal may not be able to buck the Out sde because the powers that be don't want the of the Territory opened up until they have the proper strangle hold
