REPP CONCERT
 IS BRILLIANT
 MUSICAL EVENT
Contralto Soloist Wins Ac- claim from Enthus-
 iastic Audience

coIdom do Juneau audiences have an opportunity to hear a mu 'ical event as brilliant as that provided last night by the concert of Miss Ellen Repp.
 Miss Repp is no stranger to Ju- neau and the crowded auditorium of the Northern Light Presbyterian Church was a tribute to the esteem in which her superb ccnralto voice is held. However. her most enthuSi- astic admirer could not have anticl- pated the improvement she has made in her voice during the two years since she last appeared here and her accomplishment was ac- claimed by all who heard her. As an artist, Miss Repp early in her career had set for herself high mark. and that high mark she has attained
 Mrs. Edythe Reilly Rowe, also a fine musician, added to the program two groups of cello solos and played cello obbligatos which she had ar ranged herself for several of Miss Repps songs.
 Splendid Interpretation
 A fine feeling for interpretaticn was indicated throughout Miss Repp's program. When she was singing the aria, Amour Viens Alder" from Samson and Dalila, she was a pleading dramatic Dalila For the Norwegian nursery songs nf Mcnrad Johansen-under whom she has studied, by the way-she was a child. afraid of the forest of which she sang, pleased with the goats on the mountain.
 Four groups of songs were on Miss Repp's program, the first group with Mrs. Rowe's cello obbligatos. These were Secchi's "Lungo dal Caro" and two old English songs, the melodies Have You Scene put n Whyte Lillie Grow" and the gay Come Let's Be Merry"
 A French group followed = I.e Temps de Lilas,' sad and tender 'L Heure Exquise," as exquisite as the moment it describes and the stirring Samson and Dalila aria in which her rich and powerful voice was especially fine.
 Music Touching
 Her Norwegian group, the nursery rhymes of Monrad Johansen and three lovely Grieg songs. brought tears to the eyes of her countrymen in the audience-and the infinite sadness of Grieg's Spring" touched with it's music those without q knowledge of the words.
 A nature" group, Sea Moods. !" Clouds" and ''Midsummer" the last by Amy Worth, Seattle compo- ser. ended Miss Repp's fine and varied program.
 Especially pleasing were her en- cores, Morning Wind" by Bran scome; Thrane's Norwegian Echo Song in which her tremendous voice would have taxed the small auditorium of the church had she not held it down, and Danny Boy.
 Prolonged applause indicated the reluctance of the audience to let Miss Repp close her program. AL

ways charming and completely without stage mannerisms or afiec- tation, Miss Repp impressed her audience again with her gracious ness and boise. None who heard her can doubt that her Town Hall Gs- but in New York next January will be a success and the beginning of a brilliant career for which she has prepared with years of intelligent practice and hard study
 Fine Musicianship
 Mrs. Rowe's cello groups dis played her fine musicianship They included the Andante from Orpheus and Eurydice, the pleasing Mo ment Musical" of Schubert, "Harle- quin," difficult and beautifully done; 'Lamento" of Faure and Glazounow's "Serenade, both feel ingly interpreted. Applause was gen. erous and Mrs. Rowe was generous and gracious with her encores.
 A difficult role on the program was that of Carol Beery Davis pianist for Miss Repp and Mrs Rowe Mrs Davis provided under standing accompaniments for both artists
 Following the concert, Miss Repp received the congratulations of hei friends at a small reception at the Governors House where she is a guest. Mrs R. L. Bernard and Mrs Robert Bender were hostesses.
 Miss Repp will leave soon for Petersburg to visit her sister. Mrs. Mary Torkilsen, for a short time before she goes south for concerts in Victoria and Bellingham. She will return to her home in New York in September

EDUCATIONAL TRENDS
OF THE FUTURE,

elementary teaching throughout the
world has not kept pace with the de-
mands of a time in which such things
as aviation and the radio have leapt
out of nothingness into primary lmpor-
tance in our affairs, and IN which hu-
man power for good or evil has been
stupendously increased declared Au-
thor-historian H. u. Wells IN the sep
ten1ber issue of The Rotarian magazine
Mr. Wells criticism of two-thirds of
the teaching profession as superanEu-
ated NAV be bit harsh, but few will
disagree with his contention that educa-
tional methods on the whole, are sadly
in need of overhauling. The trouble may
be. as some have contended, that our
educational theories have not yet got
ten away from the ancient practice of
attempting to make scholars OF all VINO
go to school.
At the same time we are approaching
nearer the goal of universal education.
The two = academic scholarship and
universal educatiOn-are not compatible.
Modern educators of the most advanced
type are beginning to realize this, and
are attempting to correct the ancient
systems which taught all pupils the
things only scholars can use or appre-
ciate.
Take a concrete example: the man
who wants to build bridges or dam rivers
has very little need for four year
course in latin; and the man who in
tends to be a farmer has little use for
the PHILOSOPHERS of ancient Greece. Yet,
under our present educational system,
the man who wants to build bridges is
likely to find himself embarked on four
years of latin-unless he has very defin-
itely made up his mind what he wants
to do, and how he wants to do it.
Few young people know, until they
are nearing the end of their years in
school, what they want to do or what
they are fitted to do. The educational
system of the future, approaching near
er to perfection than ours of today,
probably will help them find their niche
in life, as we'll as preparing them for it
when they have made up their minds.
The educational systems of the future,
it is to be hoped, will turn out not just
graduates" but men and women ready
to step into their chosen work with
thorough foundation for its perfor-
nance.

The thing that holds us Ameri-
cans together more than anything
else is the pride of our country

that the surest way to arouse the

of our fOrefathers.

Hod sat around for several weeks
readin' the book and finally one
day, he called his eight boys to

Bruce Carton Says
The Loser in the East Will be the West

Consider what will happen If Jap
an finally wins this war.
Beyond a shadow of doubt.
China will become a closed f1eld.
Japan is making tremendous sacri-
fices in this war; If victorious, she
will naturally expect proportionate
rewards. The rich Chinese trade
will be under her thumb, and 1t is
unthinkable that she would consent
to share it with anyone.
But the cause will be no better
if China wins. For China that would
confront the white nations would
he a China conscious of strength;
a China that had learned to fight
in the western way, and that no
longer had to submit meekly to
ANYTHING which superior force might
choose to inflict. China today fights
for her independence in every sense
of the word; if she wins, it will not
be a qualified independence that
she enjoys, but an absolute one.
The east is throwing off the white
mans dominance. Like 1t or not,
the western world must adjust itself
to that fact.

ROOT OF WAGNER
ACT TROUBLE

One of the most recent to suggest that
the Wagner Act be amended to deprive
the National Labor Relations Board of
some of its power is the A. F. of L.
Among the suggested steps which it
thinks Congress should take in the next
session is one which would transfer the
judicial powers now held by the board
to an Independent tribunal, where, it
believes, they belong. This is by no
means a new thought; it has been ad-
vanced by business organizations, in
cluding the Hook committee, earlier this
year
While the idea of separating the pro-
scouting and judicial functions of the
NLRB is certainly worthy of earnest
consideration by Congress, it neverthe-
less does not strike at the heart of what
is wrong with the Wagner Act. It's essen
TALLY rotten core is the cause of the un-
fairness of its application on frequent
occasions, for which the personnel of
the board has been blamed-often with
out justice. This basic error, we believe,
is the one-sided nature of the act, it's
endowment of labor with specific rights
and employers only with specific prohi-
bitiOnS.
How different would the case be if
labor also, were held responsible for
unfair practices under the act, and if
employers had the right of appeal to the
board. Then the function of prepara-
ton of charges would work as we'll for
one side as for another.
Only when Congress recognizes the
need for making the law bipartisan will
real reform be achieved.

JUST ANOTHER BURDEN
UPON MIDDLE CLASS
lOroville MercurY-Register)

(OrONllle MeFcury-h -heSlSleID
The forecast of Senator Harrison,
chairman of the senate finance commit
tee, that unless business picks up more
little fellows" will be required to pay
income taxes is not being received favor
ably.
Harrison hopes that there will be no
necessity for broadening the scope of
the income tax but he evidently sees
the move coming because he said present
federal taxes are not sufficient to meet
government needs.
Therefore the next session of congress
should be an interesting one, to us little
fellows.
We believe that congress should start
a movement toward cutting government
tai costs whenever this is possible.
Harrison's proposal is aimed at the
big lower middle class of people that
are now paying the major share of gov
ernment costs. These are the people who
have jobs and fairly comfortable homes
and who work hard for what they get.
Their tax load is already excessively
heavy. There are scores of hidden taxes
which are being paid now. There are
also many other taxes evident to the
eye that are paid without protest. In
addition to federal taxes, they pay heavi-
ly in state, county and city taxes.
Yes, they pay exceptionally we'll for
everything that they get and now they
expect to increase this burden. The mid
die class are the ones who furnish the
money for those on relief. They are the
ones who dig down to pay for the pen
sions for the aged, the blind, and or
phans.
By the time they pay these taxes.
their grocery bill, their rent, their gaso-
line bills, their insurance costs, their
social security fees, they are lucky to
break even.
We believe the time is about here for
all branches of government to start get
ting down to bed rock in their taxation
programs. Let's get value received for
what we pay in taxes. Let's call halt
to spending without absolute necessity.

fear of having to talk 10 peo-
pie. The thought Of m a king
speech made him i'll. His home was
at Vernon, Indiana. The high
school pupils in Vernon had to
make a speech three times a year.
When the time approached Albert
was so terrified and his face be-
came SO red with blushing that he
often stayed outside until the time
arrived and held his cheeks against
the cold brick wall to stop their
burning. In class his voice would
tremble and his face turn white,
then red, when he had to answer
questions. All through college, he
often pleaded illness and got out
of every public appearance pos
sible.
But one day during the 1886
Free Silver Campaign" between
Bryan and Mckinley, he picked up
a book called Coins Financial
School," He went across the street
and sat on the steps of the old
Tabor Grand opera House to read
it. It advocated free silver" and
"bimetalism" at 16 to l. In college
he had majored in problems of
money and exchange. He grew in
dignant at what he considered its
fallacies. He was mad all through.
1t was false philosophy. He felt
people must be told about it.
He decided to 90 back to Indiana
and speak in the campaign if it
killed him. He was out of money
and paWned his watch for his rail-
road fare. The County Chairman
at Vernon arranged for him to
speak in the little Simpson coun-
try schoolhouse. To his terror, the
house was crowded, but he was on
fire with his ideas He said what
he thought He stirred them with
his passionate sincerity. He thought
he talked for Is minutes, but when
he sat down, he found he had held
them spell bound for an hour and
half.
As a result of that speech he
received 26 invitations to speak.
From hen on he was in demand
for two and three speeches a day
all over the state.
He decided to make public speak
ing his career-the last thing on
earth he had dreamed of doing.
He has delivered 5000 lectures and
is one of Americas best speakers.
asked him how he changed
overnight from bashful, self-con-
scious person to forceful speaker.
He said:
We'll, l was fired with an idea.
I had something I wanted to say.
I didn't care whether my grammar
was perfect or not, nor how my
clothes looked. nor whether I was
making a pleasing impression or
not. 1 made lots Of mistakes. I
forgot myself completely. I got up
and said it with all the power and
conviction I had"

Sane Gov't;No
Crack-Pot Ideas
BY PHILIP w. KNIGHTS
City Engineer, Ell CentrO

California has the resources, the
capital and labor for the produc-
ton and creation of a prosperity
far greater than she has yet known.
Let us hope her people have the
intelligence to elect and support
public officials who are committed
not to special minorities, special
patronage, personal interests, or to
filch funds from the public treas
ury-but to California as a state.
Men who will devote their minds
and energies to bringing about
the cooperation of labor and capital
and the utilization of CALIFORNIA;
resources to the end that her peo-
pie may be happy and prosperous
and that her strife, pickering and
jealousies be forgotten.
The people of California will
have good government only so long
as they demand and support good
government. Governor Merriam for
four years has maintained sound
and sane government against trem-
endous pressure. He promises only
that he will give California the
best government of which he is
capable. He asks that you fairly
and impartially examine the four
years he has given you. In that
record you will find his guiding
principles and you will find also
no crack pot theories no crack
pot experiments crack pot rad
icalism and no crack pot delusions

good government. Retain Governor

Famous Sayings

There is something little unreal
about the casual, interested-specta-
tor role the western world is playing
in regard to the war in China.
Aside from a few busy diplomats
who keep looking for a chance to
get little AK grinding done, most
of Europe and America seems to
look on the war as a vast drama
which is fascinating, interesting,
tragic-but which can have no very
direct effect on occidental life.
Yet very little thought ought
to convince anyone that what is
going on in the Orient today is a
revolution as profound and far
reaching as any in human history.
No matter who wins, the old order
is ended.
Every since the European world
geared itself to an expanding &c
onomy, seeking new markets and
raw material sources overseas, the
far shore of the Pacific has been
one of its chosen preserves. For
more than a century the eXploita-
tion of China-peaceful and other
wise-has been an important ele-
ment in the Occidents political and
commercial set-up.
Now that exploitation is being
ended. The frightful battles along
the Yangtze are destroying the
whole intricate network by which
the western world made use of the
east. The white mans burden" is
being taken off the white mans
bask, and it is extremely doubtful
if he will ever regain very much
of it.
