The nation probably would DE SENECTUTE be safe if these elder and junior statesmen communed an- other six months with their constituents, but appropriation bills and other necessities of popular government beckon them to duty. | Probably no Congress ever convened which has been | ave completely discredited by the American people. La- ette and his henchmen, however, due to senate rule and, practice are still in a position to defy the popular will of the people, despite the fact that recognition by the party whose label they bear is denied.

Of course the opportunity for Congress to bring relief | in the matter of taxation is still present, but it seems doubt- ; ful if the voice of the people as registered at the ballot bo: month will be heeded. Those obstructionists who j ose Coolidge prate about the will of the people on the hu.-tings but are deaf to it when the time comes to put into : those ideals which they preach in the public forum. , Just what the effect will be of the intention of republican | lers to ignore Ladd, LaFollette, Frazier and other insurg- , remains to be seen.

Whether the people will gain out of such attrition and political travail remains to he seen. PUCCINI’S DEATH Music lovers the word over are mourning the death of Giacomo Puccini. He died recently in Brussels. Death was caused by a tumor at the root of the tongue. In New York city the other evening a graceful tribute was paid the composer by the Metropolitan Opera companv. | “La Boheme,” one of the composer’s most popular operas was the bill of the evening. In a pause of the action of this vivacious piece, the audience stood while the orchestra play- | ed Chopin’s funeral march. i Three operas fixed the fame of this composer putting ! his name well up with that of Verdi. They were “La! Boheme,” “Tosca’’ and “Madame Butterfly.” His gorgeous style captivated the people who love the | opera. Only Verdi and Wagner vied with him in the num- | ber of times their various operas were staged. | In America, “La Boheme” and “Madame Butterfly” WEES | the most popular of all his work, especially the latter.. On the continent “Madame Butterf never made the impres- | sion it did in New York and in other American cities.

Premier Mus solini capitalized Puccini’s popularity by official appoint- ment and he had a state funeral which will be followed by | the usual memorials and monuments in which his fame will be expressed in word, stone and wood, but the most lasting | mem¢ry will abide in the imperishable music he has left to delight this and future generations. : WORTHY OF SUPPORT " The suggestion advanced here by Governor-elect A. ) magnificen —|there, nine first nights ithe young actress ix alreac’y should be ed parts. | and THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE Editorial Review Comments reproduced tn this column may or may not express the opinion of The Tribune.
