Starting off with a dissertation about folks who live in the moon, this power in republican affairs trails off into this: ~ do{is arousing the righteous wrath of law-abiding of his country aids the enemy, What more does the department of justice desire? A London man has just paid 32,000 guineas for the work of an early Venetian painter. This Ven- etian was probably related to the fellow who painted our house last week. Pussyfoot Johnson ‘was mobbed by wets in Lon- don. The tight little isle is determined to stay tight. oo een WITH THE EDITORS | tt tt mee nae ennnenenneemeneremameteeneenensef WHY NOT DEPORT ’EM? It is a simple matter to state the problem which citizens. Neither hypothesis nor abstraction need to be employed in the statement; one concrete ex- ample among the many rankling in the minds of all loyal Americans suffices: Long months ago more than fifty alien I, W. W., convicted of plotting sedition, were hauled across the continent to this port for deportation. Of them only ten have been deported. | Why? That is the problem decent folk in this country have faced in sorrow now turned to anger. Is The whale can live under water. Is the whale, then, superior to, say, Senator John- son? True, it can spout further, but it is probably inferior to Mr. Johnson in i power. A deft little knock, we would say. a probability that Johnson's re: greater than that of a whale is d Johnson the benefit of the doubt. Not less dainty is the reference to Jo ability as « soputer. The senat appreciate this compliment. FIRE TIME Dwellers in the temperate zone must about the fire for several months in the year. Most of us call up the coal man instead of get-) ting busy with an axe. But heat, whether in| steam pipes or in open fireplaces, is necessary | when the north wind howls. Cold weather stimulates the social instincts. It) draws us together in common alliance against an enemy that laughs at civilization. The millionaire’s club and the rural grocery stove are pulling men into one another’s company. Winter is the season of visiting, of sociability, of comradeship. It is the season of much talk and laughter. The radiator is not as poetic as the old base- burner, and a glowing log excels them both. Storm pelts the window, and ancient needs stir the heart. Home becomes a real place for shelter. “Hearth” keeps its old meaning. While our fires burn, all is well. SHE GOES IT ALONE Evidently the modern woman, especially the professional or wage earning woman, desires re- strictions and habitual repression as little as her brother. Many people have gone along for years believ- ing that the women liked rules of conduct, liked to be herded in the straight and narrow way, pre- ferred to personally be conducted in the way they should go. But when the woman has a chance to mind her own business and live her own life, she apparently does it as whole heartedly, and as unmindful of the narrow minded conventions, as her brother. The international convention of women physi- cians sat promptly upon the suggestion that it go on record as opposing the use of tobacco by wom- en. The convention considered that it was not in place for it to determine or dictate the habits of individuals, and in this it acted precisely as a masculine gathering of professional men would have performed. The newest women’s hotels have no chaperons, no rigid rules, no 10 o’clock curfew. Some of the largest hotels of this sort, even some managed by church organizations, leave the question of per- sonal habits and pleasures entirely to the guests. A..somewhat striking change from the close herding system of a few years ago. A woman jury descended in wrath on a judge recently because he told an erring wife to return to her husband, or go to jail. “No woman should be forced to live with a man she doesn’t love, whether he’s her husband or not,” cried one juror. And when the wife chose jail rather than an- other tryout with friend husband, another juror said: “I admire her spunk.” The old idea was that a woman jury would al- ways give the woman the worst of it; that idea died about the first time a woman jury functioned. The new woman is as eager for personal free- dom, and the right of self-expression, and cares no more for inane formalities, for “nice conduct,” than the man. Just how this is all going to work out when they get married is something a tempestuous future will disclose. De Negri, Mexican consul general, informs us that only Russia has gone further than his coun- try. Russia hasn’t gone far. It has merely gone fast. the rad- Technically we are at war.

SHYING AT NEW GATES A cow shies at a new gate; a man is ruffled] by a new law. Mental transitions are trouble- some. Improvements are welcome where innova- tions are not, because the former allow us to go on our old way with less effort while the latter re- quires that we strike out on an unfamiliar route. Farsighted leaders enjoy only belated popularity because followers are so slow in arriving. . We feel it is a reflection on our intelligence to be shown better. That Europe hurled every available word of abuse at Ibsen’s writing and then sent loving cups and engraved albums to Ibsen dying, is about what we should expect of the watchdog which shows its teeth at the new master and wags its tail on better acquaintance. In its attitude toward the individual leader, however, the world is growing better. Bruno was burned at the stake and Spinoza was exiled. Now we merely put hindrances in his way until we catch up. I# this takes place during his life, we become courteous; if not, we grow lavish. If the shock incident, to accepting the new teaching is too great, we let ourselyes down. by commending his sincerity—New York Evening Post. NONPARTISAN LEAGUE MATHEMATICS The Fargo Courier-News, of the Nonpartisan league’s “kept press,” says: The state tax levy in Minnesota for 1919 is BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE 8.1 mills as compared with 3.5 mills last year. This is an increase of 282 per,cent for 1919 over the levy of a year ago: The increase in the state levy in North Dakota is less than 176 per cent for 1919 over that of 1918, ac- cording to the records. ‘These figures show that the increase in state taxes in Minnesota is nearly twice as large as that in North Dakota. It might be possible to show almost anything by such figuring, but fortunately mathematics is an exact science. Applied to the problem stated, it shows Minnesota’s tax levy increased only 131 per cent instead of 232 per cent, as claimed by the Townley organ. With a levy of 3.5 mills last year and 8.1 mills for this year, the increase is 4.6 mills, which is 131 per cent of 3.5 mills. North Dakota’s tax increase has to be reckoned by the total levy rather than by the rate, because of the enormous .increase in valuation there, but as to North Dakota the Courier-News is not far off. On figures available to the Journal, the North Dakota increase is 161 per cent. The Courier- News makes it 176 per cent, which may be correct, as the Nonpartisan league mathematician evi- dently resorted to the usual rules in calculating this item. Without counting the 100 per cent which the Fargo authority uses to pad the Minnesota figures, the comparison is decidedly in favor of Minnesota, as remarked before. When North Dakota gets ‘a soldiers’ bonus law that gives some immediate benefit to service men, the contrast will be still _ ical who does anything against the peace and order more marked,—Minneapolis Journal, ~ TITTITIIT OTT YOUNG BARITONE ENTERS LISTS OF ' GREAT ARTISTS Another star of first magnitude appears in the Victor galaxy. Many. others shine in the musical firmament HE greatest “find” of the year in new musical talent is undoubtedly the young Chilean baritone, Renato Zanelli, who with a single step, has taken his place among the great | living singers. He is only in) the twenties, but for all that he is not simply an “artist of the future”, he nt i is an artist of the resent—and a great one, with a true aritone voice of great range, power, sweetness and flexibility. 7 His introduction to Victor audiences is made through his two initial Victrola Records just out: “The Spanish Dancer” and “Dear Zaza” respectively. His operatic debut takes place this month with the Metropolitan Opera Company in New York; and never, perhaps, has a first appearance been attended with greater auguries for the future. His career will be watched and followed with attention by the whole musical world, Zanelli’s appear- ance brings to mind that other outhful prodigy, Sascha Heitetz who was the mu sical sensation of several seasons ago. And Heifetz has just made a new interpretation ona Victrola Rec ord—a_— Paganini Kreisler “Caprice:’ Two things are to be considered in every record Hei- : fetz makes—the bewildering beauty of his musical effects, and the extraordin- ary technical means used in order to bring them. about. In this number a peculiarly rich effect is had by bowing one open string, leaving it powerfully vibrating, and passing on to two others so swiftly and so deftly the ear cannot follow. The record ends with pas- sages of indescribable brilliancy. The ‘Venetian Boat Song” is a very opular concert duct. The voices of Veer Littlefield and Elsie Baker blend perfectly on a new Victor Record, and the result is an unusually pleasing nunt- ber. One is transported to “Venice the Golden”, and we seem to rise and dip with the swing of the gondola. The/ “Canoe Song” by Pestalozza which these artists also sing on the reverse of the record is a modern Ital- ian composition, which has not been given the serious consideration by music-lovers (which its beauty. deserves. To those who believe in the imper- manence of pappiness, either married or single, the song “When the Preacher Makes You Mine’, sung by Adele Row- land on a Victor Record just issued, strikes a new and a wholesome. note. It is the utterance of an impatient lover, who feels that he can’t possibly wait till next Sunday, when the affair. comes off, He winds up, man fashion, by declaring he'll be dog-gone happy when the preacher makes over to him, the lady-love of his dreams. It is done as might be" supposed, in happy rag- time vein, On the reverse of the record Miss Rowland sings “Granny”, a memory song of a little girl who used to craw! on Granny’s lap when mother was tired at the day’s end, Werrenrath now a red seal artist The first contribution that Reina ‘errenrath makes to music-lovers aftc his elevation to a seat beside the im mortals of modern music in the Victo: “Hall of Fame” is an interpretation o1 Victor Herbert's fine love-song “Molly” which he sings in splendid and manly style on a new Victrola Record.

His interpretation of the d'Annunzio-Tosti “’A Vucchella” (A ittle Posey) on a Victrola Record just issued is indeed 3omething new. It is one of the most delightful songs, in the popu- lar manner, that ever came out of Sunny Italy. Ad- ditional interest attaches to the song, as Mrs. Caruso has made a translation of the words into English. Esther. Walker is at it again This month she has the lovesick blues in a song she sings on a new Victor Record, “Blues (My. Naughty Sweetie Gives to Me)”. On the reverse of the record she sings ‘Sweet Kisses”, a song-of consolation from the land of dreams, Popular songs by favorites in their line Two songs of youth and love appear this. month on, one .Victor Record, One, entitled, “Give Me a Smile and Kiss” sung by John Steel, is in vigorous march rhythm, The second, “Girl of Mine”, is in a slower and possibly a tenderer strain, / “T Love’ You Just the Same, Sweet Adeline” is the first: song in. which Lewis James and Charles Harrison, the two well-known tenors, make a Victor Record together. “Pretty Little Rain- bow” is sung on the reverse of the record by the Sterling Trio. Four medley fox-trots appear on new Victor Records this month. ‘Alcoholic Blues” and “Jerry” are played on one record by the “All Star Trio”. “Tulip Time" and “Yellow. Dog Blues” are played on another double-faced record by Joseph C, Smith’s orchestra, When you realize that all the music of all the world interpreted by the greatest artists of the day is yours to hear and enjoy nowadays by simply visiting the.
