. Music Clubs, 7. w. C. A., 1880
p. M, and 1880 p. m.
It was painfully evident that
the average parents Of Washing
ton have little care or considers
ton for the music interests Of
their children, judging from the
few present at the concert Of glee
clubs and orchestras from the
city schools. If even the parents
Of the young folks who partici-
pated in this interesting program
had been present. the auditorium
of Central High School would
have been comfortably filled.
It is no wonder that Mr.. c. c.
Capped, manager Of the National
Symphony Orchestra, has to fight
for every dollar Of support. It
is no wonder that DR.. Edwin N.
c. Barnes, music director Of the
Washington public schools, is un-
able to make as fast progress as
he would wish in enlarging eSpe-
cially the instrumental music pro
gram.
II one were to journey to Jop-
lin, Joliet, or any other Mid
western or Western city with
only a fraction Of the population
Of Washington, one would find
that any such concert would be
attended by capacity houses. It
Is rather useless for parents to
wish their children to become
interested In music, when they
fail to encourage by their at
tendance any effort on the part
Of their young people when they
perform.
The Gordon Junior High
School Orchestra directed by Mrs.
Helen Shaw, was an admirable
example Of instrumental en-
Senble for this age pupils. But
where were the orchestras from
Powell, Paul, Langley, Stuart,
Hine and several other junior
high schools?
Eastern High School was rep
resented by q mixed chorus under
the direction Of Paul Gable, and
Mckinley High School was rep
resented by q male chorus under
the direction Of Robert Racoosin.
DR.. e. N. c. Barnes directed
Brahms Lullaby" and Gounod's
Soldier Chorus" sung by q large
maSSed chorus from both senior
and junior high schools. The
vocal efforts Of these young
people established q high stand
ard Of tone and expression.
II have not yet found the cadence
OF the song Of the Capitol'S
Dome.
It Is q long slow measure;
The swing Of the decades is in it
And its beat is the timing Of
generations.
It is a long slow cadence
That poets have not found.
1t is somewhere beyond the
gamut Of voices,
Beyond the notation of music,
Beyond the octameter's roll"
The theme shown yesterday
from the epic poem by Repre-
sentative Pettengill, 1.-THE Dome
OF the Capitol" is sung to the
words, 1T Is q long slow ca
dence-." The theme shown
above is written for the line,

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
COMPETING WITH FARMERS

There are many features of the New Deal with
which most people are in sympathy Undoubtedly
the governments policies have improved the lot OF
millions of people. On the other hand, there are
certain phases of the program engineered by some
If the so-called brain trusters that revolving.
One of them is in connection with WPA employ
mont and we have seen examples of this right here
in Anderson county.
Last wear farmers of the county IN many IN
stances found difficulty in securing sufficient la
borers for they were on the governments payroll
and referred few hours work a week a soft
Job to full six-day week at good wages and
place to live.
A similar situation has arisen in several other
states notably those of the mid-South which are
now harvesting vast crops of cotton. Complaint has
been made that the WPA will not release workers
so that farmers may have sufficient number OF
cotton pckers.
The WPA now reports that an investigation VIII
he made in the cotton belt to determine if standard
wages are being paid pickers and if so, WPA work
ars will be released Just what they mean by stand
ard wages we don't know, but any good cotton
picker in this section can make living in the heluS
if he wants to, and many are doing 1t.
If the government is going into competition with
the farmer and deprving him of sufficient num-
her of workers to harvest his crops, Heaven only
knows where such policies will lead us.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, we fervently believe, is
sincere in his application of New Deal policies, but
unfortunately great many so-called experts have
gotten into administrative posts in Washington who
know about as much concerning the farmers prob
lens as a cornfeld negro does about astronomy

BIG AS A MANS HAND

The man who thinks-and, unfortunately, the
man who thinks is not numerous-must nave Deeh
much disturbed by press dispatch carried by the
daily newspapers last week. 1t stated that 1eoera
reserve banks were unable to pay dividends TO tner
stockholders because their money was tied up IN
national government bonds which the interest
payments were too small to cover the running eX-
penses of those banks and also pay dividends lhaC
is fruit of the New Deal.
Private banks are finding it harder and harder
to make any money over and beyond operating e"-
penses because of the amount of bonds they are
CARRYING and also because of increase OF thelr
taxes merchant selling goods can add the taxes
to the price of the goods he sells, but the DanK'
which sells the use of money has the interest II can
charge-its price for the sale of the use OF same
monev-fxed by law and the law does not vary
that fixed charge to enable it to cover an increase
of cost through taxes or otherwise, In It's opera
ton.
Not only that, but the government has invaded
the field of private banking and taken away much
of the best custom of the private banks, decreas-
ING the number of those to whom it can sell the
use of money Moreover in self protection, to keep
the bond market from breaking, the banks are
ever increasing their holdings of national bonds
on which their earnings decrease as the govern
ment cuts down the interest its bonds carry. Many
banks have discontinued paying interest on savings
deposits because they cannot protably sell use OF
the money in savings deposits, and all those which
still paw interest on savings deposits have reduced
the rate of interest they pay reduced it almost 10
the vanishing point.
Low interest is not national blessing. Certain
" those who found safety of investment in savings
boya as
get any real earning by savings so deposited, II
this mania for lower interest keeps up, 1t Is gong
to menace every life insurance policy IN this couh
try as life insurance companies must make more
to meet their operating expenses and protect thef
policies, so as to be able to pay according to tnell
terms, than can be earned by interest rates forced
as low as the government is forcing 'them.-Green

BOOST YOUR OWN TOWN

Into our city's splendid stores
The people daily flock by scores
Their needful things to buy;
And that their wants are well
supplied
Cannot by any be denied
No matter how they try.
For things to wear, or things to
eat
Our city's stores cannot be beat
SO put it to the test;
And you will very soon agree
With all the folks from A to Il
They're better than the best.
For nifty hats, or stylish suits
And every kind of shoes and boots
They'll fit you, If you try;
No matter what person needs
Feds. or stoves, or garden seeds
l know they can supply.
So citizens don't be afraid
To patronize the local trade
And neer run it down"
For it should be your constant
aim
To ever praise, and never blame
But boost your own home town

TALMADGE'S DEFEAT

Eugene Talmadge, governor of Georgia who
tried to get and keep control of that state
was n bitter critic of President Roosevelt and the
New Deal.
He also-and we believe this was more lmpor-
tant to Georgians-was a practitioner OF Huey
ONO tactics including the idea of running the
government at times by militia rule.
Yesterday Eugene Talmadge met overwhelming
defeta at the hands of the voters of his state City
and rural people alike turned thumbs down on him;
they like the New Deal and they dislike ring rule
and especially military ring rule.
That will interest Tom Stoney Roosevelt critic,
although it won't interest him much; he has learned
at the polls how southerners fell in that matter.
1t also will interest DIN Johnston and it ought
to interest him keeny. He has had no opportunity
to learn at the polls how South Carolinians feel
about the use of troops to keep state department
in line with governors wishes and political am
bitions.-Greenville Piedmont.

Recommendations Sena-
w tor Jim Watson of Indiana, a
power here for many long years
but finally tossed out by the
voters and reduced to odd jobs Of
lobbying here, along with rather
desperate attempts to maintain
leadership in the Indiana Repub-
lican machine, has been called "a
lovable old humbug" and many
other names less or more compli-
mentary.
No one, however, ever said Jim
couldn't tell a good story and even
many of those who deteSted his
political attitudes and actions were
fond of him for his friendly gen.
iality. Watson always insisted
that he was a thorough reaction
airy" and no one disputed him.
Some admired him for his frank
ness.
Now Jim has written an autobi-
ography entitled GAS I Knew
Them" and in spite of all the
things that are CLOSED over and
of doubts whether this is a major
contribution to political history,
Jim's book contains a swell COL
lection of anecdotes and for that
if for no other reason is an enjoy
able tome. Many of the yarns are
already famous. Others are not
and some of the latter are pro-
dIced herewith.

he fought with Albert J. Bever-

became president of the Plato lit

close Plato fight he discovered the
opposition had taken five of "our
boys" to Eel River hunting and
driven away, leaving them there.
That meant defeat for Jim, so
he went to EmmonS Vest, a stu
dent preacher who belonged to
his faction and asked:
