RUSSIA.-On May l the nation Of
Socialist Soviet Republics will celebrate
the completion of the greatest single
economic enterprise of the Soviet regime
namely, the Turkish -Siberian)
Railway, which, starting at point on
the Siberian Railway somewhat west OF
Tomsk, runs southwesterly through the
Altai chain, on through the city OF
Semipalatinsk and Pavalkake Balkhash,
into Ferghana, to join the railway which
runs southeast from Orenburg to Tash-
khrent and on south to Ura-Tepe, then
northeast through and past Khokand.
The new road, 1,100 miles long and con-
Meeting the heart of Turkistan with the
heart of Siberia, almost certainly in
itiates development of stupendouS eco
nomic importance. 1t was built at less
than estimated cost and in less than
scheduled time. The Altai region ira
versed by 1t Is of extraordinary mineral
wealth. The one-time Chicago an
archist, Bill Shatoff, was the guiding
spirit of the enterprise.
Since its inception the Soviet govern
ment has built between 5000 and 5000
miles of railway. The total railway
mileage of the Soviet Union is now
about $4,000.

This melting pot of the Pacific"

but seldom do so many gather entirely
impromptu as at recent house party

that list be made of the nationallties

famous Newberry case. Newberry was
elected from Michigan. A cloud settled
over his election. The Senate investi-
gated and finally determined that the
expenditure of $4,000 in the Mich
igan 1918 primary was contrary to sound
public policy, harmful to the honor and
dignity of the Senate and dangerous TO
the perpetuity of free government" But
Newberry was declared entitled to his
seat That was on January IL, 1912.
Ten months later ne resigned.
The Newberry case, however, went TO
the Supreme Court, which declared that
the Federal corrupt practices act Of 1910
restricting expenditures by q House or
Senate candidate Elm securing his nonnl-
nation and election" to $4,000 and
$4,000 was unconstitutional as applied
to the primary election OF a candidate
for the Senate. This decision also set
aside the conviction of Newberry and
1874 other defendants which had been
secured by the Government under the
1910 corrupt practices act.
Along came the 1924 campaign. There
were three parties in the field nationally,
If one includes the faction which sought
to elect Senator La Toilette to the presi-
dency. Senator Borah headed COM
mittee which inquired into expenditures
and found a total of $8,553 900, a sub
stantially accurate estimate of the ma
tional campaign. But his inquiry
brought about the new corrupt prac-
tees act of 1925, under which we are
still functioning, requiring, among other
things, publicity of contributions by or
CARNATIONS and individuals and, in ad-
dition, the filing of reports by each
candidate. Senatorial candidates are
limited to $4,000; House members,
$4,000.
1925 Act Went Further.
The 1928 act went still further to
check money in politics. Prior to its
passage the law did not require the
reporting of contributions received be-
tween elections, the time when party
deficits we're made up. The new pro-
vision, ending these secret" periods,
grew out of the expose In the Teapot
Dome investigation Of donations made

Meanwhile, time drifted on.
Finally it occurred to us that
in Scheming around to find a
way to be kind to this man we
were actually being very cruel.
We were allowing him to waste
precious days in a position
where he could have no future.
Whereupon we sent for him,
drew a long breath, and spoke
as follows:
Joe, it is necessary to tell
you that you are through.
Now that's over, and we don't
need to talk about it any more.
Let us, therefore, sit down to a
serious discussion about your
future plans, because every man
in the company wants to see
you happy and successful"
We helped him find the
proper environment; he is to-
day prosperous and contented,
and I believe that he counts us
fNaav~i.

" EARS ago 1t became
" necessary to discharge
a man from a certain
~ company with which I
happened to be associated. His
shortcomings did not reflect
upon his character or ability;
he was just temperamentally
out of place.
Everybody liked him. Nobody
wanted to hurt his feelings.
Hence many conferences were
held.
It was suggested that we
might get some other company
to offer him a position. Or he
might be given years leave
Of absence, in the hope that he
would not come back. Or we
might persuade some one to
speak to some one else who
could suggest to him in a round
about way that he ought to re-
sign.

,HE|M'S CONCERT
 WELL RECEIVED
GerulaniC Music PredOminates in Program at Normal School

Fritz Helm, Niolnist, playing q was the prcponderance of German music. was given an enthusiastic re- ception at the State Normal school last night by an audience compris- ing students of the school and local residents. One French composer found his way into the program but the Austrian krcislcr's setting was used for even this selection. Eugene lsaye, the Belgian. was the only -Germanic composer whose work was used in the original score. Even the encorcs were mostly Schubert and krcislcr.
 Assuming that q normal school audience would desire only the best music, Hcim gave it and the re- sponsc was doubtless gratifying to the performer who had the taste and tho courage to open a program with three Bach numbers and the lengthy Bruch "COnCcrto in C Nnor.' Opens With Prelude
 The first selection was Bach's "Pra eludium in F" number that served to indicate the varied, rich and expressive tonal qualities that Helm could draw from his instru- mont. The lighter. more vivacious "Gavottc in F. was the second of the three Bach themes. Entering i into the spirit of the work Helm gave an interpretation that was 1 raultless in regard to its artistry. | Despite the obviousness Of tho melody he played with sustained ! dignity throughout. The last of the ! Bach selections was the well known 1 Air for the c String" d number in which the performer accomplished i the most pleasing effects with a slow and deliberate bow
 The second portion of the pro- 1 gram consisted of Max Bruch's ela- horate Concerto in G Minor" Three movements were played. the Allegro | moderate, the Adagio and the | Finale. The accompaniment by Luther Gloss. which was generally excellent throughout the entire pro- gram. was especially commendablc | in this work
 shows krcisIcr Preference
 The concluding portion of the l program demonstrated Heim's fond ness for krciSler and when it was time for cucorcs and more Krcislcr 1 numbers were too he heard. Helm apoloGi2cd. The generous applause Of the audience indicated that in its estimation there couldn't he too much lIrcislcr.
