! A concert OF sacred music dp-
propriate to the pre-Easter season
was given by the U. S. Marine
Band Symphony Orchestra last
night at the Marine Barracks un-
der the direction of Capt. Taylor
BranSon.
The program opened with the
Prelude" to "Parsifal" (Wagner) ,
expressing in noble and colorful
sound pictures the themes of
CONGRATULATIONS" (the queS-
ton mark is Wagner'S). Herein
the composer poured out his soul
singing of the promise Of redemp-
ton through faith. Firmly and
Stoutly faith declares itself, ex-
allied, willing even in suffering.
To the promise renewed faith an
swerS eerom the dimmeSt heights
as on the pinions of the snow
white dove, lowering downwards,
usurping more and more the
hearts of men, filling the world,
with the mightieSt force, then
glancing up again to heavens
vaults as If appeased."
The Procession of the Knights
Of the Holy Grail" also from
"Parsifal," was used to close the
program. The advancing tread Of
the knights is accompanied by the
recurrent figure in the BASES
which is the motive of the Bells of
Monsalvat. The work ends in
soft cadence as the footsteps are
lost in the distance.
"Inflammatus," from Rossini's
"Stabat Mater" was used as a
trumpet solo by John White;
"Cujus Amman" from the same
work, was played by Harold Bayes
as a trombone solo. The theme
shown above, introducing "Cujus
Amman" will be recognized also
as the tune to which patriotic
words have been added, Flag of
the Free"

INFRINGEMENT REPLACING
 "PUMP-PRIMING"

Back after triumphant 13O00-mile trip to South America in behalf of peace President Roosevelt has returned to the White House prepare for the open ing of Congress on January While the President has been gone the Budget Bureau has been at work and the Chief Executive must look over those figures proposed fiscal policy in the brief time before the session convenes, as the budget is tra- ditionaly presented to Congress as it
 Already there is some cry in eastern centers against too severe Federal retrenchment just as there was during the campaign from Roosevelt opponents that he was spending too much.
 There probably always will be some dispute as to just how much government spending in the last four years had to do with national recovery But the fact evident that recovery has in and result the need for Government spending is not so great it when MT. Roosevelt went into office. It a matter of so-caed pump priming' at that time to revive financial system that in complete collapse Today there is entirely different picture Private spending In contrast to public spending has revived revealed in bank clearngs and the present activity of business Production has reached in many industries the peak of 1929 and factory employment is the highest in six years Payrols increasing and wages have boosted in some instances Farm income has nearly doubled. From the length and breadth of the land reports that Christmas spending this year is going to surpass anything since 1929 and may even beat that mark Retailers throughout the big cities of the States declare there is unprecedented demand for higher priced articles and uxuries
 All these reports point to but thing-that pub lie spending has replaced in large degree government spending; that look for the forthcoming Con- gress to extend its efforts toward retrenchment rather than pump -priming' necessary during the first term of MT Roosevelt

THE SENATOR'S INFORMATION

Ross Sheely, Manager of the Matanuska colony probably has the right answer to why gray-haired dstinguished-lookng U. s. Senator Elmer Thomas is basking the sun-baked beaches of Florida making dsparagng remarks about the Alaska farm colony Sheey, here yesterday route to his headquarters at Palmer after trip to Washington, remarked that probably the Senator has talked to who gave him the wrong information"
 It will be recalled by Alaskans that the Senator with Senators Shpsead and Frazier covered" Alaska last summer the Coast Guard cutter Chelan They spent day here, few hours there and so on far into the Arctic, somewhere up around St Lawrence Island also out in the Aleutians where they discovered mysterious island which has thousands of otter and which, incidentally everyone in Alaska knows to be Amchika Island witt about 1000 otter the count of otter having beer made it by the Biological Survey before last sum mers junketng trip thought of.

History Repeats
Cincinnati Enquirer)


 When history repeats itself frequently happens, the thing of greatest significance not the fact of repetition but the subtle differences between the first event and the second It is in noticing the startling similarities of the two Roosevelts who have been President After the remarkable similarites are noted it remains true that Franklin D. is President of country almost unbelievably different from that which chose Theodore.
 In the second volume of his series Our Times, MT Mark Sullivan has chapter entitled Wall Street Tries To Get Rid of Roosevelt That chapter is peculiarly interesting just It relates the un- successful effort made by Senator Mark Hanna to prevent the renomination of Theodore Roosevelt in 1904 It also recounts the decision of Wall Street to abandon the Republican party and plump for Alton B. Parker
 MT Sullivans lively chronicle reminds us how thoroughly the older Roosevelt hated by business men in his day Yet there few nowadays who describe Teddy" as radical He sought to use the full force government to remedy certain abuses notably those of financial domination industry, monopoly in many fields. and impure or fraudulent foods and medicines.
 In all this the parallel with the present Roosevelt is striking But the difference is more important for the elder Roosevelt headed predomnantly rural America and the President today finds his chief backing in the industrial workers of the great cities The historians of tomorrow, may suspect, will delight in drawing the parallel of the Roosevelts But their big job will be to discriminate between the sprawng fastgrowing America of 1904 and the highly industrialized America of 1886

Government by Dogfall
CNew York world-Telegram)


 Strange perhaps. but are nearing as much about that Supreme Court no-decision as we have about any of the decisions that decided.
 Maybe it's because of the novel nature of the procedure which constitutes sort of government py dogfa or perhaps it is just the rapidly accumulan2 interest in all things touching the Supreme Court and Constitution.
 It appears that there is precedent, and precedent in the law seems to just about everything-at least to the lawyers and the judges. The mighty Marshall first ruled the question in 1926, saying No attempt will be made to analyze them (the argu- ments) to decide their application to the case before us because the Judges are divided respecting it. Consequently the principles of law which have been argued cannot be settled but the judgment iS affirmed"
 And later in 1869 another Supreme Court opinion said:-"For all purposes of the case a judgment of affirmance here by divided court is as ettectual as if all the Judges concurred therein
 Stalemate may be all right in chess, or draw in przefghting or cooked dice in craps but juris- prudence by dead heat looks terribly inefficient to us One would thing that in a tie they could at least cut the cards for it, high spade or something so the decision would be recorded as real one and so the nations show could go on without the risk ot having everything undone sometime when all nine together and similar is up and fifty-fifty division is impossible
 If the laws our elected representatives pass have to be tested all the way up through the lower courts to the Supreme Court to find out whether they are unccns sttutonal it does not seem unreasonable that we the people should be entitled to verdict instead of hung jury.
 However we are glad that the case is adding thought and discussion to that already expressing question-What do do about the Constitution or the Supreme Court both in matters of social and economic legislation for which the recent over whelming election presented such mandate?
 With that mandate, the coming Congress will no longer labor under any fear that is political dyna mite to approach discuss and act on the whole prob lem Such a fear is what has held back the issue in Congress up to now.
