On This Occasion

the country has been denuded
of its timber, but who ever
thought, fifty years ago, that
there ever would be scarcity
of timber in this section. Min
ing has furnished employment
to thousands of men in ad-
dition to building up the trust
funds of the state through roy
alties and the timber industry
also furnished employment to
other thousands. These en-
ployes built up the range towns
long before interest "baiters"
were born.
The older men who pion-
eered the country should be
considered. Mistakes happen
in the best regulated circles but
all were made in the, interest
of the state and it's people in
those early days just as they
are being made today. In our
opinion the greatest error that
could now be made would be
the maintenance of the present
political administration in
power, an administration that
has no counterpart anywhere
in the United States.
To refer to past deeds as de-
liberate acts of the Republican
plunderbund" is rubbing it in.
There have been both Republi-
can and Democratic admins
trations in this state and all
furnished their share of acts
good and bad for the state.
The administration we are now
working under, however, is the
bees pants. Everyone in it is
working for personal aggran-
dizement with a hold on the
public teat that only an election
can shake loose. The records
prove it, Elmer Benson, or
other mining company baiters
to the contrary, notwithstand-
ing.

Winnebago TimeS-The Slayton Her
aid recently published an editorial about
the closing of a local store because
people seemed to prefer sending to mail
order houses. The Herald pointed out
that the town lost $736 in taxes, four
employees moved out Of town, and
payroll of $1,000 was lost. No mail
order house will send check to make
up the loss. 1t is all very true. The
same thing can apply to the merchant
that sends money out of town for his
printing. There is enough printing
going out of the average town to mail
order" printers to pay the salaries and
living expenses Of two Or three good
printers. Enough outside bread is being
sold in all towns to employ two or three
bakers. And so it goes, round and round.

union or legislature, for whatever
reason, orders that no more than so

employers shall choose not the best

work more than so many hours a week
and at the same wages, and that no
man shall cultivate more than so many
acres, or raise more than so many
hogs or potatoes, and that you and I
shall pay him, not for what he does
but for what he does not do, then the
union or legislature is reducing us to
our lowest common denomination of laz-
mess, thriftlessness, and incompetence.

Reilly Discusses Bank Credit.
John A. Reilly, president of the Sec
ond National Bank. addressed the
Graphic Arts Association on "Collec-
ton Methods in Modern Credit Sys-
tenn" last night at the Raleigh Hotel.
Business and financial executives
must educate their debtors to have q
better understanding of the sanctity
Of the credit contract if they are to
enjoy the high types of business they
are seeking, he said.
He denounced the ever-increasine
tendency on the part of debtors to
compromise their claims when they
had assets sufficient to pay. This not
only causes an immediate financial loss
to the particular creditor, but breaks
down the moral fiber of individuals
who lose their desire to pay what is
justly due. There are many instances
when compromises are necessary but
they should not be accepted until a
creditor has had every opportunity to
fully examine the affairs of the par
tcular debtor.
Credit has done much to improve
the living conditions of our people and
make available to them things which
have increased their happiness. Let's
not destroy this useful science by TAX
ing short cuts and abandoning the
fundamental principles involved in
sound credit granting" ." he said.

Dy NfANeA DGNAAGO
The long-awaited appearance Of
Enid Szantho, Hungarian con-
tralto, in joint recital with John
Charles Thomas, American bari
tone, at the Mayflower Hotel yes
terday morning, was most reveal
ing performance of the artistic
handling of gorgeous voice.
It is indeed rare that one is per:
mitted to hear a contralto with
such warmth of tone, resonant
power, and evenneSS of range
which remains unchanged whether
singing loud or soft. The purity
of the vowel sounds and the care
in defining the consonants, to-
gether with the injection of a dra-
matte personality, combined to
produce a truly finished recital.
Her interpretive skill was fully
equal to the range of moods from
the intense feeling of Randel's
arioso, "Dank sci dir HERR" to
Wagner's "Traume," or Richard
Strauss "Morgen." The sim
plicity of her approach to the vari-
GUS types of songs blended well
with her effortless tone produc-
ton. The only element that might
be at all distracting to some was
the sound of breath intake when
singing forte passages. This fault,
if such it might be called, is a
physical handicap that can scarce
ly be obliterated by the most care
full work. Miss Szantho was re-
called to the platform many times
and graciouSly responded with
several encores.
With his usual smoothneSs of
tone and mastery of interpreta-
ton, John Charles Thomas upheld
his part of the recital with dignity
and intense interest on the part of
his auditors. Mr.. Thomas might
be held as one of the highest ex-
emples of singing without any ap-
parent effort. The only percep-
tible show of effort was an occa-
sional slight blush in delivering
climax.
The delightful appeal of his
voice rose to great heights in
Verdi's aria, "Eri tu." from I'll
Ballo in Maschera;; Thomas aria,
"Brindisi," from Hamlet" and
the aria Vision Fugitive" from
"Herodiade," CMassanet) and his

ners), brought rippleS of laughter.
The excellent accompaniment
work Of both Paul Ulanoowsky for
Miss Szantho, and Carroll Hollis
ter for Mr.. Thomas, remaining in
the background with proper re-
strain yet with full support, added
the finishing touches to a highly
satisfying vocal recital.

ceedS, it deepenS in mood; but the
theme shown above ushers in a
short interlude that is stepped in
sentiment. This symphony will be
included in the all-Mozart pro-
gram of the National Symphony
Orchestra under the direction of
DR.. Hans Kinder next Sunday
afternoon at 4 o'clock in Consti-
tuition Hall.
Orlando Barera, young Italian
Violinist, who received more than
a passing notice in this column
upon his appearance last season
in the Morning Musicale series,
gave his second recital at the
Town Hall, New York City, Sun
day afternoon. For this occasion,
Mr.. Barera used the famous Ward
Stradivarius violin from the Whit
tall collection of the Library of
Congress.
In contrast to the report of
last seasons recital, the review
ing critic of the New York Times
said in part: From this rare VIC
lin, Mr.. Barera drew a tone that
was exceptionally pure, vibrant,
warm and sensitive. In the slow
movement of the Pergolesi and
Mozart selections the soulfulness,
breadth and fervoT displayed in
the treatment of sustained cantil-
ena called for unstinted approval.
And this ability to infuse a long
melodic line with poetry and i'm
bue it with intensity and signifi-
canoe was one of the soloist's most
valuable assets. It was employed
with even greater effectiveness in
andante of the Lalo concerto,
where Mr.. Barera, free from the
