The occasion was the annual
spring concert of the Arthur Jordan
Conservatory of Music, presented
this year by the conservatory or
chestra, with Hugh McGibeny con-
ductor, and three students, James
Hartley, Eugenia Magidson and
Martha Rucker, as soloists.
Delibes' March and Procession Of
Bacchus from the ballet, Sylvia, ;"
opened the program, after which
Mr.. Hartley was heard in the first
movement of Mozart's Piano Con-
certo in A Major TX 488). A true
Mozsrtian delicacy of style pre-
vailed in both the orchestra's and
soloists's performance.
Well-Fitted to Music
Mr.. Hartley's clear and limpid
scales and singing tone were admi-
rably fitted to the music at hand,
although too great delicacy often
made his playing inaudible in tutti
passages. The ensemble was excel
lent, despite a Instantaneous
placing of the piano which prevent
ed the soloist from seeing the con-
ductor.
Griegs THE Last Spring." played
by the string orchestra, afforded a
demonstration of tonal body and
color, and f1exibility quite remark

scription of the Ballet Suite from
Gluck's "Iphlgenia in Aulis" was
given a brilliant performance.
Miss Magidson sang the vivacious
Roslna's aria, Una Voce POGO Fa,"
from Rossini's Barber of Seville. :"
and Miss Fuckers contribution was
the first movement of the Beethoven
Violin Concerto.
Played Difficult Selections
Few young fiddlers outside the
genius class attempt the Beethoven
Concerto, but Miss Fuckers accom-
pllshed virtuosity met the works
stern tests with apparent ease. Fur
ther, she chose the Leopold Ausr
cadenza, and there are few examples
of taxing violinistic passages left un-
noticed within it's lengthy confines.
AS technical accomplishment, Miss
Fuckers Beethoven was of high
order.
The deeply emotional Andante
Cantabile from Tschaikowskys Fifth
Symphony brought the concert to a
close. The soloists, players and con-
ductor were received with hearty
enthusiasm by the audience.

LOWEST COMMON pENoMINAToR

A good time was had by all in Gastonia yester-
day when 10th district Democrats gathered to
whoop it up for democracy. All the poticoes from
round about met at somebody's invitation - we
never can find out just how these things get started
and exhorted each other to go down the line in
November for President Roosevelt, Governor Hoey
and Representative Bulwinke, not to mention the
local candidates.
And though it may be hard to prove we submit
that between Roosevelt, on the one hand, and Hoey
and Buwinkle on the other there is a kinship in
name only-that and the wish to win. If the Demo-
Gratis would really like for the state administration
to be patterned after the national administration,
they had business nominating Mr.. Hoey. The
man from Hyde Park and the man from Shelby are
opponents of two Numerically opposite schools of
political economy. d.. ...t - f....
And as for the districts representative in con-
gress, the Republican nominee-Edney is his name

1t is true that the Republican might, if sent to con-
gress be perverse partisan enough to throw cold
water on Mr. Roosevelt's grandiose schemes just
as it is true that Mr. Bulwinke, sitting on the ma
ioritv side will vote "yea" to many measures that
he does not like at all. But fundamentally, Mr..
Edney and not Mr. Bulwnkle is the experimental

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
GUARANTEES AGAINST NATURE

It would be delightful, of course, if the Amerl-
can farmers whether planting corn, cotton, wheat,
oats peanuts or potatoes, could be guaranteed that
when harvest time comes, they would have pro-
duced exactly enough to supply the demand.
| It would be further delectable to take all of the
gamble out of agricultural activities, for the man
with the hoe" to labor with full assurance that
neither devastating storm nor boil weevls nor corn
borers, nor Hessian flies, late springs nor early
frosts would be able, single handed or coming on
in combined phaanxes, to interfere with the fruits
| of his labor. -
| Crop insurance!
| There's the answer to the riddle of how to bring
such millenniumistic and dump its benefits
into the lap of the American farmer.
The Administration is working on that
Secretary Wallace has an idea
| Pitch out crop insurance, federally inspired and
warranted to the American farmer on the basis OF
the farmer giving the government part of the
surplus if he makes surplus of any crop, whereas
the government in return will guarantee the same
farmer the margin of the difference if ne falls snort
of what he ought to make.
Simple enough just to stand off and look at 1t!
Whv has that not been thought of before?
Perhaps for the reason that up to this time the
human species has been fairly well informed and
convinced that Nature is powerfully stubborn about
some things-especially about the way 1t operates
its laws of cause and effect, supply and demand
reaping and sowing, and such-and has, therefore,
been respectful enough to stand off and let 1t alone
70 its imperial whmS and fances and LAWS.
Nature has been so surefooted and invnclble IN
its procedures that has additionally held 1t TO
no immune to his notionateness and, therefore, he
has been a bit timd about asking it to quit doing
as it has been doing.
Otherwise, there are several little matters that
might be corrected.
1t should never send floods!
It should never ordain drouth!
And the Misunderstanding ought never to
strike mans barn and house and burn them up!
Certainly it should never deal its darts of death to
humanity
But man has not been setting himself to the
herculean task of having these devastatons stopped
Wise men never rush in where angels fear to tread
On the contrary, such men will be willing to ad-
nit that since Nature has been cutting up IN some
respects in the same fashion ever since 1t became
Nature. the best guess is that it will continue to
function in about the same fashion as long as 1t
remains Nature.
In other words Nature seems to have been so
everlastingly dead set against being regimented
and being compelled to fall in line both with puny
mans caprices and serious designs that such reg-
mentation has never been tried-and will probably
never succeed when it is!-Charlotte Observer

BONUS CASH GOES TO ITALY

U. S. FREEDoM-LIGHT THAT NEVER
FAILED
(Bv BRUCE CATION


1t is easy enough to say that the celebra-
ton of Harvard's tercentenary marks
great milestone in the progress of free
thought and unhampered inquiry. 1t is not
so easy to realize that this fact has deep
significance for every plain citizen in the
country = including those millions who
have never come within miles of Harvard'S
towers.
Preserving the light of learning at Har-
ward is not simply matter for broad-A,d
speeches of congratulation. That Harvard
and her sister universities and colleges may
look forward to 800 years more of free
and unhampered research and teaching is
Just as vital to the steel puddler, the dirt
farmer, and the garment-maker as to the
clustered professor.
For the mere existence of a university
such as Harvard, which finds its way &C
coEding to its own inner light and news to
the line of eternal truths without regard
for the shifts and changes in outside af-
fairs, is a symbol that the country in which
it exists maintains that freedom by which
men in all walks of life can realize their
own potentialities.
This freedom is the freedom from all
restraints save those which are absolutely
necessary to make society reasonably Sc
cure and orderly 1t is the freedom to think,
to talk, and to live as one chooses, whether
he be great scholar wrestling with alb
stract truth, commanding farmer trying
to find way out of economic disaster, or
Pennsylvania steel hand eager to exercise
the right of free assembly.
And freedom of this kind is. a thing
which we must give in order to receive. AS
President Roosevelt remarked at the ter
centenary exercises, 1T depends on mems
tolerance, sef-restraint, and devotion to
freedom, not only for themselves, but also
for others" .'r. g..
It is the very opposite of RECOMMENDATION
and repression. 1t is not afraid of dissent
or heresy. 1t has a, profound distrust of
any attempt to discipline mems minds, and
an;even greater distrust of those who would
in any way limit mems rights to- say pre-
cisely what they please where they please.
1t runs in an unbroken line from the
great university down to the humblest citi-
zen. Infringe it in one place and you in
fringe it everywhere. Shackle the scholar
and the teacher and you will find, sooner
or.later, that you have prepared shackles
for your own ankles - ...%.. 20 a., - Is,
In one nation after another, during these
dark postwar years, the lights of freedom
