 Editor of The Democrat:
 For years this country of ours has been dominated by two out standing political parties; namely the democrats and republicans.
 The republican party symbolizes the elephant, 8 large five toed pro- boscidian mammal brute, capliti- vated in the jungle and domesti- cated for no real purpose, other, than circus attraction to amuse the children who throw peanuts at him and it must be said that the elephant still has to be led around, however, might also state that he is sometimes used in forests for Hog rolling" a term we often hear in our legislation halls. Also we get ivory and therefore buttons from this insignificant ir- responsible animals tusks. Now f0r the symbol Of the democrat party, the donkey. A to his own opinion and doing real good for the world. In the stirring panorama of early days, the don- key carried man to master lure gold and victory, he travelled into fearless moorland hills and deserts past the quickshnd region and helped man find the little dingy black metallic treasure--troves of the Klondike, the golden magnet apd gold. Tn an unagitated advance this shrewd little animal returned with his man and his pack full of. .pieces-o-gold which is the back bohe of every country today. THe donkey Is quite stubborn at times and hard ti lead. but when he knows hA is on the right track hs pigs along, the same with ths domoerat party that he glorines.
 Much jest has been made ef this cunning little fellow, but in ooImpaFison, which means more to mankind--fhe elephant and but. tons or the great American donkey and sold, prosperity and . bright
 Yours truly,

 FROM THE HEART

When men who have their senses, Will shout and rant and rave. When politicians pop out Upon the hot air stage, Then surely we are slipping, To pull this kind of fuss. When politicians knowingly. Just make poor saps of us. Why all this tin-god worshipping. Why all this super-show. Why all this flunky-heroing. It fills my heart with woe. We humbly grovel at their shoes, Support their selfish fight, I call on P. T. Barnum's ghost, Old P. T. sure was right. The time has come for men to

 On feet that are their own. Pass up the dripping promises. Suspicious in their tone. The time has come to make

AIDA" CAST SINGS
SUPERB[Y IN RAIN
Crowd Enjoys Presentation
Despite Discomforts of
Weather.
BY E. de S. MELCHER.

Washingtons initial outdoor operate
spectacle Aida" was presented by
Maestro Alfredo Salmaggi at Griffith
Stadium last night before crowd of
several thousand people. The produc-
ton. somewhat less magnificent than
press oracles had intimated. and minus
those camels and elephants that were
supposed to have come down from New
York on a 20-mile- hour special train,
was. nevertheless, notable through the
singing of flrst-rate cast:
Leonora Corona was nothing short Of
superb in the title role: Pasquale Fer
rara,s tenor voice carried high and wide,
and was especially fine in his duet with
Miss Corona: Dreda Aves acted as well
as sang with distinction; Pasquale
Amato as the King of the Ethiopians
was yocally most satisfying, as were
Paolo Ananian in a lesser role. and a
| local singer, Gladys Briggs, who was
particularly effective in small bit in
the first act.
Rain flinders Musicians.
Unfortunately, however it began to

men musicians had much of their musi-
cal fire snufed out by the dampness
The cellists played with their hats on,
the harpist had to shroud his harp in
a raincoat, the piccolo player found it
difficult to get the proper tone quality
and all in all the weather conditions
we're not favorable toward ma jor musi-
cal production.
Nevertheless the singers gave mag
nificent account of themselves. The
ballet did likewise-although the placing
of the musicians in front Of them meant
that front-row spectators saw nothing
but the every-noW-and-a bobbing
up and down of their heads. They
seemed to dance, however, with fervor
(particularly the solo dancer in the red
dress) and made up for the somewhat
languid entrances and exits of the mob,
which showed no particular enthusiasm
except when it went hopping and skip
ping over the wet grass from the stage
to dressing room quarters on the side
lines.
Washington, however, has never had
anything quite like this before. Opera
in the open is something new here. On
warm evening. which Maestro Sal
maggi naturally counted on. it would be
most pleasant to go out to the ball park
and exchange ball players for opera

quently been asked during the past few
months for concrete suggestions to
solve our present economic and f1nan-
cial chaos. 1t is as impossible for the
General Federation to find a short cut
for return to prosperity as it Is for
all the other organizations working
earnestly for the same end.
Should Not Stampede.
To live sanely. to keep a calm spirit,
to refuse to be stampeded by the many
alarming reports made from day to day,
would seem to be one OF the ways in
which our great organization may help.
Woman has always been able to ad-
just herself to the conditions that sur
round her, to work in spite Of imme-
diate hardships and restrictions for the
finer things in life.
repeat what I have said before and
what is to me our biggest objective, at
the present time: Normal living as far
as possible, sane retrenchment because
OF past and present eXtravagances, but
no curtailment that will threaten the
future welfare of the next generation.
Asks Woman Representative.
Father Walsh (vice president of
Georgetown University, Washington, D.
c., in his address last evening sug-
gested that We copy the father Of our
country and call a conference of the
key men of this country in all fields of
national life ard make them stay in
session until a construction program
has been evolved. That won my heartiest
approval. But I am firmly convinced
that the value Of the conference would
be greatly enhanced II woman also
should sit in.
We are recognizing that women are a
contributing factor in the civilization of
today. No world conference. unless we
except finances and economics, is COM
plete without representative woman
in attendance. While woman has not
actively participated in the field of
finance and economics In the past, We
believe her training fits her for an &C
tive part in the present deliberations.
