FUTURE EF|RSTLADY
A LISTENING POST
America Expects Something
of High Officials Wives,
She Says in Chicago.
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, January 21.-Mrs. Frank
LIN D. Roosevelt, wife of the President
elect, in an address here tonight de-
scribed herself as the listening post" OF
the incoming administration, and ap-
pealed to citizens to aid in keeping the
administration informed Of the true
state Of the Union.
MY husband has Just been elected
President" she said. 1T is an over
whelming responsibility, and the Ameri-
can people, when they elect men tc
high Office, expect something of their
wives"
Mrs Roosevelt said she had chosen
for her prime duty as the wife of the
next President to aid him in feeling
the pulse of the Nation.
Every One Says "Yes."
"One of the dangerous things" Mrs
Roosevelt said, "in high Office is that
you never hear the truth. Every one
says yes to you. I have built up my
mail until receive hundreds of letters
daily with the intent of obtaining true
picture of what the country Is think
ing and feeling, and perhaps I can be
of assistance in that way"
She spoke here at Orchestra Hall al
a guest of the Illinois League OF
Women Voters and made two special
appeals-for youth to interest itself ir
politics and for women particularly tc
unite in efforts to autlaw war.
The problems of the day, Mrs
Roosevelt said, had thrust themselves
into each life and the young people
who were just beginning to vote would
in solution of the problems likely
To youth she advised keen study OF
all parties and problems.
Study both Sides" she said, land
make your decisions impartially. I am
not one Of those who believe In being
hide-bound In party. A party needs
to be kept up to its ideals"
Mrs. Roosevelt said she had little
patience with those persons who termed
the younger generation unsatisfactory
and fearful of responsibility
After ALL" she said, Il can remind
those critics that my generation and
your generation has made the present
generation. Youth is affected primar-
lily by example"
Pioneering" Needed.
The present period of stress Mrs
Roosevelt described as one that required
P1O41CC4AA16 VI tl1C Sdlllc UTdIlQ Gkldl
faced the Nations forefathers.
I'VE have come to the place where
we must learn and try new things, u
she said. I'VE must learn first that
our Government is one Of individual
responsibility. Good leaders can fail
in democracy unless all citizens pull
|. the oaEs the same direction in the
same boat"
Mrs. Roosevelt warned against "going
to Sleep as regards international affairs
and efforts to outlaw war" The wom-
en-, she said, had left that responsibility
mainly to the Government.
I'VE can not prevent war unless we
make ourselves felt and unless we
change our present thought" Mrs.
Roosevelt said. war prevention is a
womans crusade, and if we do not act
we will have war and shall deserve to
suffer what women alone suffer in
war"
Mrs. Roosevelt spoke extemporane-
ously. referring only once or twice to
notes. She was introduced by Miss
Jane Addams, head of Chicago's Hull
House.

M u SIC

The Don Cossack Russian Male
Chorus, under the leadership Of Serge
Jaroff, was heard last night at Consti-
tuition Hall in a colorful program OF
songs. Such wealth of sound can only
be produced by group of singers that
have learned it through the rich church
repertoire and the communal singing OF
their native land. Deep resonant tones
resembling powerful church organ
were shaded to the light quality of boys
voices with thorough balance. Russia
is most famous for its fine bass voices
and those heard last night were OF
remarkable range and seniority. The
tenor voices were not correspondence
beautiful or unusual and in some forte
passages they sounded harsh an6
forced.
The Don CoSSackS sing with a pre-
cision of intonation that is remarkable
They pass through difficult harmonies
easily and intricate passages are given
with the security of an instrument
Fine pianissimos that are but a breath
OF sound are carefully developed into
mighty volume, each step increased to
the proper degree with artistic under
standing.
In several songs they provided theil
own accompaniment, initiating tleil
native instrument perfectly and giving
the twang of strings or the boom Of
chords with faithful reproduction. The
"Bandura" of Davidovsky was a splendid
illustration of the variety of effects
which this lute-like instrument pro-
duces and which they initiated with a
sonorous hum.
The program opened with q grour
OF church hymns. These were sung
with religious feeling and the soft. float
Ing quality of the subdued tones Gre
ated an atmosphere Of mysticism. Par
ticularly beautiful was Lvovsky's "Have
Mercy on Us, o Lord" in which the
phrase was repeated 40 times diminish
ing to whisper and swelling to gor-
geouS volume. The melody "Evensong.
from Liturgy" was another example of
finely controlled singing.
The remaining numbers were peasant
songs full of humor and gayety, wild
Cossack melodies and rousing soldier
songs where the bugle call and horses
impatient hoof beats were startlingly
initiated. The various moods and
changing rhythms Of the songs were
given with temperament and exactness
Mr.. Jarof1 Is an inspired leader and
the large audience enthusiastically re-
called him many times. A. E,

DEMOCRACY ON TRIAL,
THOMAS DECLARES
Socialist Leader Says Singers Of
Liberty Are Worst Foes
of System.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, January 21.-
Norman Thomas, Socialist candidate
for President in the last election, told
five Illinois audiences today 'Democ-
racys worst foes are not Fascists nor
Communists, but those who mouth my
country It's of thee, sweet land of lib
erty' and bear the label of democracy"
Carrying criticism of conditions, which
he said proved the loss of civil liberty
for "a considerable portion of Illinois
population which lives today in con-
slant state of fear" to the centers Re
critisized, Thomas tonight ended two
day tour into mine fields of Franklin
and Christian Counties. He also con-
ferred with Gov. Henry Horner on the
mine situation and addressed the
Socialist State Convention here.
At each meeting Thomas praised Gov.
Horner for initiating his administra-
tion with an effort to restore TRANQUIL
hty in the mine areas.
In concluding his addresses he said
ne was convinced there was less de-
mocracy in America today than at any
period IN its history. and added, "as
never before democracy is on trial for
Its very existence"
