aonalities whose works were OF the
type to attract attention and hold 1t
through the centuries. A glance at
sosne Of the lesser known works of
Purcell should prove OF especial In.

attainments
The recordings are the output of
the English Music Society, which was
organized in 1885 under the sponsor
ship Of the Columbia Graphophone
CO. OF England. The object Of the So
ciety is to make known the compost
tions of the most famous writer's Of
England, and albums will be released
from time to time, featuring the
music Of each of the best-known com.
posers. BY special arrangement the
Columbia company in the United
States Ia now able to reproduce these
records in this country and Purcells
music was selected for the nrst volume.
In the making Of this album the
society was assisted by Andre Mangeot,
who Is an authority on Purcells in
strumental music and first violinist
OF the international String Quartet
by which many of the records are
made. Other artists who cola borate
are Isolde Menses and William Prim-
rose. violins; Ambrose Gauntlet, viola
da gambia: John Ticehurst, harpsi-
chord; Bernard Richards, cello; Keith
Falkner. baritone. and the Purcell
Singers.
THERE are l6 parts to these records,
the greater number Of which are
given over to the fantasies for strings,
which Purcell wrote 80 delightfully."-.
While most of the fantasies are for
the four instruments there is also one
flve-part fantasie written upon one
note, with an additional viola making
the NTH instrument. The familiar
Golden Sonata" Is also recorded,
played by the two violinists. the viola
dA gambia and the harpsichord Three
Of the best examples Of Purcell's songs
include The Aspiration" taken from
the first book Of Harmonic Sacre,"
collection Of sacred songs by COM
posers of that day which Purcell
edited; his If Music Be the Food of
Love- and Il Love and l Must" Con-
cluding the series are two catches,
Il Gave Her Cakes and Gave Her
Ale" and ITO Thee, to Thee and to
q Maid"
Although Purcell was a composer
who wanted to appeal to the public of
his time, his genius cannot be disputed
in spite of the frivolity of many of his
works. But apart from any consid-
GRAFTON Of this kind the important
value Of these recordings is the oppor-
tunity given to study the style and
the individualism of this fluent COM
poser. From this man stems the work
OF practically all the great seniuses
who follow him. He was active In writ
ing for every field of music known at
that time. and whatever he undertook
was enriched by his superb gift of
form and melody.
Had he lived In another age than the
dissolute one Of that century, he would

Democratic Party Head
 Talks Like the President
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, July 26. n The voice of the head of the Democratic party sounds like the voice of the President of the United States.
 It has the same agreeable come hither, even though MT. Roosevelt said that he would not talk as Pres ident in the primaries but as head of the Democratic party would fight for his loyal Senators.
 Never does MT. Roosevelt seem so happy as when he can cut loose without restraint as he did at the Latonia race track at Covington, Ky, in his effort to rescue Senator Barkley from the tolls of Governor Chandler. Not since 1886 has the Roosevelt zest for political battle been so obvious.
 The President is at his speaking peak when he has a crowd before him pitched to politics and there is no need to trim sail. The Presi- dent knows that. His fighting speeches" always are before audi ences shaped to his liking. When he is compelled to hold himself in because of nettlesome political conditions, his enthusiasm is dampened.

CLEVELAND, O., July 26. = Two Alabama attorneys, one personal friend" of Hugo Black, today att tempted unsuccessfully to obtain withdrawal of the proposed resolu- tion to have the American Bar As- sociation ask the Supreme Court of the United States for information concerning the eligibility" of its Associate Justice, Hugo L. Black.
 Edward Lee, Dean of the John Marshall Law School of Chicago. refused at public hearing of the Associations resolution committee to withdraw the resolution. The Committee will go into an executive session later to decide whether the measure will be reported to the convention floor for a vote.
 T am a personal friend of Asso- ciate Justice Black and I want to take the floor against this resolu- tion," said Judge Richard Evans of Birmingham, Ala. Judge Evans said the Court once refused to rule on Associate Justice Backs eligibility and there is no reason for the As sociation to press the matter.
 Marvin Woodall, also of Birm- ingham, said the resolution was highly impertinent."

HITS STATES LINES

Here's the basis of the theory in the Presidents own words, repeat ed and embroidered at several stops across the country:
 C. Your national government has learned to think in national terms, which means it has learned to develop all parts of the country and not just one particular section. I am glad that Oklahoma ap- preciates that NATURAL resources are NATIONAL resources. All of us have to make our | ans from the national point of view. We put a national shoulder under na- tional problems. :"
 Then, again, in Texas getting deeper into the details of his eco monies:
 6. Agriculture cannot be thought of or worked for just on state lines Every crop on every farm in every county of every state has a definite tie-in and relation ship with similar crops in other states. Cotton in the South and Southwest is clearly connected with the economics of the wheat grower in the Dakotas, the cattlemen of Wyoming, and the potato grower of Maine. Where one of these people has a poor year, his lack of pros- perity hits all the others the people of the Lone Star state are cooperating in this way we will get away from spotty prosper ity and work toward a universal prosperity. :. :"
