time, the publicist mentioned that
"the trouble with the Republican par
ty-and it was pitifully demonstrated
during the recent campaigns that
it lacks principles. His closing para
graph in the article quoted above
made even a more definite revelation
OF his individual point of view, for
he wrote "the Republicans, on the
other hand, made progress as CON-
sentative party, and they must get
back to that mooring if the party is
to survive.'
That sounds logical enough if you
think along those lines, but am Won
dering how my new colleague in the
political publicity business Is going to
reconcile his statements SO clearly ex-
pressed in the philosophy, say, of DIR.
Glenn Frank, head of the Republican
Program committee, who, not great
while before being selected for that
eminent and difficult post, announced
that if he had the running of things,
taxes would be laid on big business
that would make it squirm; not, he
pointed out, that the government
needed he money, but simply as a
means of compelling such a distribu-
tion of profits as to drive the great
industries into paying higher wages.

DlsPELLING THE FOG

By Charles Nicholson
1t appears that the Republican par
ty is in the thross Of one OF the spasaas
into which it is inevitably plunged in
its efforts to maintain its historic re-
dictionary principles without throwing
overheard the liberals of the west who
used to be one Of it's elements. We can
all remember how at convention after
convention Senator Borah, for example,
with the elder La Toilette used to
strive to relieve tho Grand Cd Party
of some of its moss. only to be voted
down, which left them the option of
going along with the standpatters or
engaging in such hopeless revolts as
was indicated by the La Toilette In
dependent candidacy in 1924.
This "reminiscences is provoked by
the recent selection of Mr.. Frank
WaItman of the Washington Post to
conduct their publicity branch. This
able young man is, or used to be,
Democrat. When he was given the
place as political commentator ON .
Republican newspaper, he was true to
the code Of the honest SO der OF for
tune who fights his best under the
flag of whatever cause engages him.
So for some years, he devoted him.
self to pointing ost the errors Of the
New Deal, the mistakes of President
Roosevelt, and the general exec .lence
Of the administration s opposition.
Through the years he has argued on
that side so consistently that 1 have
no doubt that he converted himself
and is now as sincerely reactionary as
any member Of the old guard.
Hew Landon Would Garry New York
So we find him in 1896 telling his
readers that the election of Governor
Landon depended ON tine vote OF New
York and Pennsylvania, where the
Kansas governor, as ne pointed out
IN more or less thorough analysis of
the registration, the straw votes, etc,

Just now I am inclined to sympa

celebrated novel, La Vie de
IL Boheme," was the third
offering of the Chicago Opera Co.
last evening at the Rialto Theater.
The entire production was given the
same scenic care that has distin-
guished each of the previous operas
performed by this company. Even the
difficult scene about the Cafe Momus
was well done in spite Of the cutting
OF some Of the action which requires
larger space than the present stage
provides. Again the chorus took q
lively interest in all they had to do
and sang with vivacity.
In Mimi, Elda Ecole had q more
sympathetic vocal part than her debut
role Of Aida" The higher register
OF her voice is unusually fine and her
tones last evening were taken without
effort or straining Of the quality. She
sang the aria of the first act with
many individual points of emphasis
which were very effective and her
acting OF the entire role was full Of
SAd1 III dIAU SlHlpllClty.
The second feminine role, that of
Musetta, was dashingly portrayed BY
Martha Errolle, whose costumin1 vas
especially attractive. Her fine voice
was clear and ringing above the en-
semble and the famous waltz song
excellently sung.
John Chickering was, the Rudolfo
and his voice has the power possible
ties for the role If it were better
handled. He is not adept in acting
as yet and has tendency to sten
out OF character and become a concert
singer as when singing the first act
aria or other sustained solo passages
His three comrades, Marcello, sung
by Rocco Pandiscio, with Anthony
Nell as Shaunard, and Nino Carboni
as Colline, sang and acted well, the
role OF Marcello standing out through
the art of Mr.. Pandiscio.
The orchestra was directed by Um-
berto Mugnai and he had a difficult
task on his hands. Try as he would.

out OF the orchestra. It is q pity to
try to present opera with such inem-

Is not fair to the singers nor to the
public, who cannot enjoy the music
to the fullest extent. So far, the chief
complaint against the Chicago Opera
Co.'S performances here which are
otherwise satisfactory as to scenery
and artists, is the poor orchestra
playing. Surely few more rehearsals
might be had so that one need not be
distracted from the performance by
inadequate support in the instru.
