Of Busoni, whose intellect rebelled
against a kinship of the instinct
and the emotions over what should
be the higher and controlling faculties.
This comes to the fore in several
of his works and has often been the
cause Of misunderstanding on the
part of his auditors, and of tragedy
and despair In his own creative ex-

lnflexlble and noble attitude toward
his art has been the greatest inspira-
ton. as I said above, for all those
disciples worthy of the name.
The present work was written by
Busoni during the period when he
interested himself in North American
Indian music. His interest had been
aroused by Miss Natalie Curtis, a WELL

him with the melodic material for this
interest composition.

An amusing story Of his popularity
in Italy Is told by Sousa himself.
While walking in the Piazza st. Marco
in Venice with Mrs. Sousa. he heard
the band playing his washington
Post" march. Stepping into a music
store close at hand. he asked for the
piece the band had just played and
was handed a copy bearing the name
Giovanni Filipo Sousa" He inquired
of the clerk who the composer was.
"Oh" came the answer, "he is one
of our most famous Italian COM
posers." "1s he as famous as verdi?"
asked Sousa. WELL" said the clerk.
perhaps not quite as famous as
Verdi: he is young yet. you SEE" !"
Have you ever seen him?" asked
Sousa. Il do not remember, Signor." !"
answered the clerk. Then. permit
me-" said Sousa, 'let me introduce my
wife. This is Signora Sousa. And
this" said Mrs. Sousa SIS my hus-
band, Signor Giovanni Filipo sousa. ="
Sousa was one of the few who have
served as q commissioned officer In
the three branches of military serv-
ice, the Army. Navy and Marine
Corps. For IL years he was the leader
of the Marine Band. His European
tours brought him the largest concert
audiences of any visiting group. He
was decorated by Edward VII of Eng
land, made a member of the French
Academy and also of the Belgium
Academy. He served in the World
War by organizing a music battalion.
which assisted in the Liberty bond
campaigns over the entire country.
Whenever his country needed him, he
came, and always with his music to
cheer and uplift the people he came
in contact with.
COUsA was . widely cultured man.
~ a writer and student. but it Is as
composer that he won an affec-
tionate place in the esteem Of his
compatriots. He wrote IL operas, 100
marches and many songs. He knew
the spirit of his country, its virility
and the speed of its life, and he
wrote for it in the manner that ap-
pealed to 1t most. He died on March
6, 1882. and came to . Anal rest In
his own city.
What more fitting monument could
be raised to him than the bridge pro.
posed, with his immortal music con.
stantly part Of the memorial. There
are other great composers in this
country and many more will come
forth undoubtedly, but none will take
the place Of the man who could rouse
the enthusiasm Of a multitude and
make it long for great deeds to do.
as John Philip Sousa was capable of
doing with his melody and rhythm.

though the famed leader was known
and loved throughout the world, it
has always been the particular pride
of Washington that so many of his
activities identified him with local life.
and the question of an appropriate
memorial to him has long been under
consideration.
Another famous American, Francis
Scott Key, has been honored in the
District by having bridge named
for him, and this also approaches
close to the place where his home was
located. Francis Scott Key. who wrote
1.-THE Star Spangled Banner" is known
the world over and revered in his own
country for giving to his compatriots
their national anthem, yet the man
who wrote the stirring march "The
Stars and Stripes Forever" has done
more to bring nations to realization
of the ardor Of American patriotism
than any other composer.
A further suggestion was made by
Jesse c. Suter. that arrangements be
installed whereby electrical transcript
tions of Sousa's compositions could be
played at intervals throughout the
day, thereby immortalizing the men,
ory of Washington's beloved musician
through the music that has quickened
the pulses Of countless hearers and
which was his great legacy to his
country.
T IKE Key, Sousa was great patriot
and a man of noble character.
While Key wrote the poem of 1.-THE
Star Spangled Banner" for his coun-
trymen, it remained for Sousa to carry
it over the world, and to write both
the poem and words of another ma
tional anthem which enshrined the
story Of our flag in irresistible melody
and rhythm. Not only Americans, but
millions Of people of other nations.
have marched to the thrilling strains
Of 1.-THE Stars and Stripes Forever"
Sousa himself, in one of his books,
tells the story of how his famous
march took form in his mind. While
he was in Naples. he was suddenly
called home by the death of his man
ager. He writes:
Here came one of the most vivid
incidents of my career. As the vessel
steamed out of the harbor, was
pacing the deck. absorbed in thoughts
Of my managers death, and the many
duties and decisions which awaited
me in New York. Suddenly, began
to sense the rhythmic beat Of band
playing within my brain. 1t kept on
ceaselessly, playing, playing. playing
Throughout the whole tense voyage.
that imaginary band continued to un-
fold the same themes, echoing and
re-echoing the most distinct melody.
I did not transfer note Of that music
to paper while I was on the steamer,
but when we reached shore set down
the measures that my brain-band had
been playing for me, and not note Of
1t has ever been changed. The COM
position is known the world over as
The Stars and Stripes Forever and

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

WE are just recovering from Shrine conven-
W ton. Tall thin men, short pudgy men,
baldheaded and bowlegged men, marched through
the streets dressed in the most ridiculous regaa In
dry state they drank enough liquor to float bat
tleshp. You couldn't get into the hotels for their
massed presence. Once in you couldn't stay there.
because of the dreadful din They shot off fake
bombs; they popped trick doodads into each others
faces; they tied ropes around their legs and became
imitation members of a chain gang.
1t is interesting to muse upon the desire of grown
men for such tomfoolery. daresay it means they
are SO full of inhibtions and lacking in real free
dom they must go on periodic sprees or burst.
Anyway, it's heartbreaking to watch them. They
are so sure they are having good time, and most
of them look miserable.
Perhaps they parade in order to feel important.
Maybe they get drunk to forget and certainly they
must disguise their antics with mystic symbolism and
secret oaths so that their dignity may be maintained
Poor httle-boy men! One watches them revert
ing to the sport of childhood with certain msgvings
since it so obvious their youthful ervors must have
been suppressed in some way That they could posi-
bly, take all this seriously is almost incredible.
Would women I wonder, be happier if they could
cast off adulthood in such fashion? We can't do it,
you know Somehow the Lord didn't give us the
knack So we can only gaze in surprise at the
pompous rituals and the which engages the
attention and time o. so many men.

LANDON IN OHIO

r ANDON- FOR president managers in Ohio
- are seeking to match Senator Borah's appeal to
liberalism They are preparing to picture Gov. Lam
don as candidate whose views are as progressive
as those of Idahos lone ion and to combat the talk
that the Kansan Is boss-controled and servile to
financial interests in the East.
w. J. Williams, Landon leader in northeastern
Ohio and candidate for delegate against Borah on
the "favorite son" ticket in youngstown, gave an
indication OF the strategy with statement that
Landon could subscribe to the platform laid down
by Senator Borah in his youngstown address last
week.
Between the two equally liberal" contenders,
Landon is more available" because he is younger
and better equipped in administrative experience,
Williams said.
The primary contest, to be decided May IL, con-
tains both favorable elements and handcaps to Be-
rahs fight against the instructed delegation program
of State Chairman Ed D. Schorr and National Com
mitteeman Walter F. Brown.
In Borahs favor is the fact that he is the only
avowed candidate whose name appears on the ballot.
The opposition slate is pledged to Robert A. Taft Of
Cincinnati, to comply with the state law. Thus the
voters have the choice between an actual candidate
and stalking horse.
Most of the delegates however, are favorable to
Landon or one of the other actual candidates and
preparing to campaign on that basis so Borah
is in the position of fighting the field Williams, for
example, has announced that if elected he will vote
for Landon "to the end" after casting his first
plimentary vote for Taft
Speculation on the number of delegates Borah
can win ranges from 10 to 25. He has ~ candidates
in the field out of the 50 to be elected against
full machine slate The delegate at-large vote is
counted on to indicate most closely the Borah
strength but most observers believe the personalities
of the at-large delegates themselves will swing the
result.
Leading Borah's ticket are former Senator Ros-
coe c. McCuloch, former City Manager Daniel E.
Morgan of Cleveland, and John S. knight, Akron
publisher On the opposing slate are such names
as ex-Gov. Myers Z. Cooper, Alice Roosevelt Long
worth and Walter F. Brown
The anti-Borah forces are overlooking no tech
nicalties and have served notice of contest against
the Idahoans delegates in Cleveland and Cincinnati

on petitions, and improper use OF nickname

A DAINTY NAVAL TREATY

THERE is small comfort in the new 11nted
States-Brltish-French naval treaty. There is
come out much more in the separate Anglo-Amer-
can agreement to maintain the two great navies ar
parity.
YET with the world hysterical as it is TODAY
amid the tub-thumpings of nationalist demagogs if
Is at least some consolation to know that three
powers get together in even limited atternnt
to head off a world naval armament race and that
the two great Engsh-speakng powers can agree that
they at least will refrain from trying to outbuild
each other.
The three -cornered pact, to which Italy and
Japan also will be asked to subscribe, places no
limit whatever on the size of any navy But it does
provide for a mutual exchange of information on
feet-building programs. This should help mitigate
fears and suspicious. And it does provide limits to
the calber of guns and the maximum tonnage of
vessels by types. But that would be a dead letter
should some non-signer alarm the world by building
larger vessel with more powerful armament.
Nothing in this treaty, so far as we can see would
stop the United States from adequately protecting
her interests Yet experience warns us to anticipate
that the treaty will be kicked around considerably in
the Senate before it is ratified Some Senators
to think any treaty an evil, and that any limitation
on spending more and more money to build bigger
ships and deadly guns is somehow un-Ameri-
can, regardless of whether we need larger ships
and guns.
Nor is there anything which we see in the
treaty that would possibly hamstring any other
power And it is to be sincerely hoped that Japan
and Italy will join in the agreement For Japan's
failure to do would be standing invitation to the
United States to resort the treays escape clauses
Just as Italys failure would likely lead England to
ask that all restrictions be lifted
sAokt1. +I,A oxyo1h 11i1d
ing ambitions of the world is the principal short
coming of the treaty-the thing which makes 1t
poor substitute for the Washington Pact of 1922
and the London Pact of 1880. All ratios are aban-
doned, and they only limit to the number of ships
and guns that can be built and the amount OF
money that can be spent is the discretion OF the
worlds rulers and the financial resources of the re-
spective powers. Which makes very bad news IN
deed for the worlds taxpayers.
