THE MARCH KING

John Philip SOuSa, Americas great
march writer and bandmaster, died
lin the harness as was his wish,
shortly after directing a band at
Reading, Pa, early Sunday morning
and after attending dinner in his
honor.
SOusa who was popularity known as
the march king" was born in Wash
ingtOn. ID. c., in 1854, and his body is
being laid to rest today in the Con-
gressiOnal cemetery. At the age of
only 13 he joined the United States
Marine Corps band and was director
of this organization between the years
violinist, gave Instructions on that in
strument, was first viOliniSt with the
Jacques Offenbach orchestra and did
other orchestra and theatrical work
in his younger days. But it was as
director of his own band, which work
he took up in 1892, and continued UNI
til the end, that he became famous.
He appeared with his band several
times at the Minnesota State Fair and
his band has been heard in nearly ev-
cry large city of the world.
Besides writing marches, operas,
selections. and other musical COM
positions, SOuSa was an exception TO
talented musicians i'm that he also
wrote books, among them being THE
Fifth String" and "Pipetown Sandy"
His memory will last long in the
hearts of music lovers, for his COM
positions are played not only by lead
ing orchestras and bands but his
marches reach out into nearly every
hamlet of the country, where they are
played by young as well as advanced
musical organizations. His marches
are spirited-full of vim and vigor--
and he gave something there to Amer
lea and the world that has not been
surpassed by any other march writer
in his 50 years before the public.
In all he composed more than 300
works.
Sousa believed "The Stars and
Stripes Forever" to be his most pOpu
lar march. Other favorites were "The
High School Cadets ''Semper Fid-
ellis The Washington Post" King
Cotton" lei Captain" Liberty Bell
Manhattan Beach," and THE Thun-
derer'
His operas included The Snug
glers," lei CAPTAIN" Bride Elect,
The Charlatan" and Chris and the
Wonderful Lamp
America has lost a citizen that it
can justly be proud of.

done. But with the taxes down to
the minimum the fact still remains
that real estate and personal property
are paying an unjust share of the
tax. Part of that tax must be shifted
to other shoulders better able to stand
the burden, and in fact to shoulders
where it will not be "a burden
but where it still leaves plenty for
a mighty good living. That is
where the shoe pinches with Mr.
Reed and his friends. The income
tax is bad music to their ears. And
after all folks get service for taxes
paid, it is worse with high interest
money that goes to Wall street, the
everlasting feeding of those who have
more than plenty. Taxes is an impOr-
tant subject and we do not want 10
minimize it. We must think of it
enough to have the money we'll spent
and to make a change in our mode of
tax collections. But Oil the other
hand there appears to be concerted
action on the part of wealth to have
the masses think in terms of taxes
only and forget other important is
sues. We refer you to the radio ad-
dress of Senator Henrik Shipstead,
published I'm this issue, where there
is food for thought in his deductions
of causes for the depression, and his
suggestions for remedies.

SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE

With the kidnapping of the small
son of Col and Mrs. Charles A. Lind
bergh from their Hopewell. n. j..
home comes the realization that some
thing is radically wrong with law
enforcement in this country. Not only
do kidnaperS operate on large scale
but other brands of criminals seem to
escape the clutches of the law to the
detriment of society.
With the telephone. telegraph, radio
and other modern means of detecting
and experimenting crimes and GRIM
inals it would seem a simple matter
for each offender to be bounded and
punished until crime would be
brought to a minimum. But this is
not the case. The criminal is one
jump ahead of the law in many ways.
One instance that might indicate
why crime can go on so rampant in
the larger cities is brought to mind
and happened in an eastern city. In
this case a policeman. on duty at
night in one of the outlying districts
OF the city stood in the shadow of a
filling station and watched two men
break the lock off the door of gro
Gerry store. After they were inside
and prepared evidently, to rob the
place. the officer ran across the
street and arrested them He lodged
them in Jail and appeared in court
the next morning with his charge
against them and the Judge turned
them loose with the opinion that the
policeman did not have sufficient evil
dence against them.
OF course a person should be
thought innocent until he is proved
guilty. but in this case it would seem
that the judge was considerably off
in his reckoning of the evidence-or
might it be that he was on the in
side with the men. one of whom was
known police character in that city
Racketeering is an octopus that
takes in a great territory some times
and it might be possible that it en-
braces many precincts where the arm
OF the law is supposed to reign su-
preme. This fact alone would be
enough to cause a situation respOn-
sible for such homes as the Lind
berghs' being stricken with the loss
of a little child

"COME.UNTO ME"

In thinking out themes for the
various windows in the new church.
we concluded that the resurrection OF
Jesus Christ should be the central
subject of the window over the altar
That great truth is the hub of the
whole wheel of Christian teaching
It's the one thing that brightens our
living and fills life with satisfying
hope.
Then we wondered what should be
the theme of the window facing the
street over the main entrance to the
church and the thought came to us
that the one extremely appropriate
theme for that window is, Come
unto me-" and accordingly we decided
to have all the symbolism express in
vitation.
Gods call should be evident in the
architecture of the church, in the
ornamentatiOn and decoration of the
building and above all in the lives
of the members. The life of the be-
lever should be so filled with the di-
vine that others seeing their good
works. would long for the same mott
waiting power, Gods grace.
Religion, the best thing in the world
should be put within the reach of
everybody. The churches try i'm every
possible way to let the world know
that what they have to offer, is the
very thing the whole world needs and
something every individual in the
world may gladly have.
More real religion is needed by
everybody. BY real religion | don't
mean fanaticism on some particular
dogma that leads to the decapitation
OF all who will not subscribe to the
article. Nor do | mean a form of in
sanity that is manifest in wild orgies,
shouting, screaming, ranting, and raw
ing until the little hours of the morn
ing when the wearied, nervous, half
hypnOtized individuals rush forward

DIVERTING ATTENTION

The Minnesota Taxpayers ASSOcia-
ton of 1884 University Ave, ST. Paul,
with j. F. Reed at its head, the or
ganization that is out to defeat the
state income tax, keeps pounding
away with its propaganda to lower
taxes in townships, villages, counties,
and school districts. Their purpose
of course is to divert attention away
from the income tax and make people
think only in terms of cut, cut taxes.
AS if the rural people are not tax
conscious by this time,
Certainly we must be economical
in public affairs and we must strive
to get dollars worth of service for
the dollar expended. But when farm
ers are getting % cents per hour for
work done on township roads and so
cents per hour for man and team
there is hardly any more cutting to
be done. And the salaries paid town.
ship officers, village councils, school
board members, county commits sioners
and others are hardly to be envied
There has been misuse of public funds
and unwise expenditures on the part
of local tax spending bodies, but they
are the exception and are being
checked more and more, which is
we'll.

guard children on the way to school,
to have detectives follow young peo-
pie at college to keep them from
being murdered? Is it impossible to
distinguish between the good and the
bad? Have the good become so cor
rupt, that the criminals cannot be
identified and removed from society?
Or are the criminals in every
city known and left unmolested
for reasons that the public only
has to guess at? If the latter
is the case and which appears to be
so, then | don't know one remedy in
the world but the spread of real re-
ligiOn so that the public will be so
shocked by the wickedness of the
whole arrangement, that the sons of
the devil will have to be brought into
the light of truth justice and right
eOuSneSs.
As soon as an awakened public con-
science cries out against the wicked
ness in high places and defies the in
iquitous practices that degrade, de-
bauch and destroy the soul, so soon
will there come into the foreground
the Righteousness that eXalts indi-
viduals and nations.
We belong to God. He yearns more
for us than we do for Him. We should
be concerned about the ones whom
Satan is kidnapping every day. Our
love for the Father and our love for
the adopted children of the Father
should awaken a burning interest in
the restoration of the snatched chill
dren, to the bosom of the loving par
ent, whose only begotten Son has en-
dured so much for the redemption of
the race.

CAN'T ELIMINATE WARDENS
FROM PINE
Editor AskOv American:

Editor ASkOv American:
Under "Opinions of Others" your
valuable paper has contained many
letters condemning the presence of
game wardens and fire wardens in
Pine county.
Being an old settler here, | desire
to express my opinion upon this mat
ter. The constitution of the state of
Minnesota, (of which Pine county is
parD provides for the powers Of
state government, which are divided
into three distinct departments, leg
islative, executive and judicial The
legislature enactS the laws of the
state, including game and forestry
laws, it also provides for their enforce
ment The governor as chief execu-
tive, appoints the game commissioner,
also the forestry commissioner The
constitution makes it mandatory upon
the governor that the laws of the
state are faithfully executed.
In face of those facts, how can any
one hope to eliminate the county Of
Pine, or any other county in the state
from the jurisdiction of the state as
a whole? Gentlemen it just can't be
done, the contention of the poachers
to the contrary Notwithstanding, they
will have to do in this county as they
do in other cOunties-pay their fine
or work it out on the roads The
roads need it badly right now. But,
to do away with the game wardens,
throw the county open to the tender
mercies of the poachers, for simon
pure and unadulterated gall caps the
climax over any exhibition of ar
rogance or presumption that has been
witnessed by our people since Mime
sofa was admitted into the union on
the 18th day of October, 1857.

among the converts. If real religion
were that, | wouldn't want particle
of it,
Real religion is that new light i'm

and new bent in the will that re-
suits from contact with the Almighty
through His divinely-appointed means
of grace. That's what the world
needs.
If there were more real religion i'm
America and less idolatry of the Wall
street variety, crime such as
shocked the decent people of the
country could not be committed
There would be such a high moral
and spiritual tone in society that the
vilest coward wouldn't dare such
dastardlineSS. But the religious life
of the nation being at a very low
ebb because of the Indifference of
so many of the higher-ups in tn?
various walks of life, evil minds will
constantly be figuring out more hen
iOus ways of plying their trade, feeling
assured that if plans should fail.
there would be plenty of contacts to
avoid anything worse than imprisOn-
ment, even expecting the incarcera-
ton period to last only till the public
forgets about the case, depending on
pals to divert attention by crimes still
more degrading.
