MOSES EXPLAINS 'JACKASS” REMARK Senator Says He Has Been Lauded for Courage to Speak.’ By the Assoclated Press. LEQNCORD, N.. H, November 26— States Senator-George-H. Moses lained to the home town folks yes- y his reference to the insurgent e came_here for Thanksgivi: lnd leave Friday for Atiantic C Yepresent the Senate at the tarewehl o former Senator Walter E. Edge o( New Jersey, recently made Ambassador to France. Senator Moses explained that in call- ing the insurgents sons of wild asses he took his reference from the Old Testa- ment, in which the wild asses were ignated as animals having consider- e independence of mind. Repub- licans, he said, we're not angry. He laughingly called to mlnd that Bepator Borah had said his group should be thankful the New Hampshire Senator had not put his real opinion of the insurgents into words. “I have a half a peck of newspaper clippings with comments and I have some very interesting letters, particu- larly from clergymen,” Sqnator Moses said. “One biblical scholar wrote me a letter in which he carefully drew out| the Hebrew characters for the quotation I had in mind. From New England | there has come a chorus of thanksgiv- | ing that ‘some one had the courage to say what nearly every one in this part of the country thought.’ “A few anonymous, correspondents have taken me rather severely to task, but anonymous correspondence, while it | sometimes may be amusing, never is important.” CITY NEWS IN BRIEF.

B, vifi"mnt at the Jewish Community FOLLERIN" THE BAND WHO hasn’t “follered” the band up Main street, or up Broadway or Michigan boulevard? Heart pumping joyously, feet beating the ground in time! Grandly intoxicating moment of childhood ! Minstrel band, Sousa’s band or just a little German band, what difference did it make?” One felt inspired to dance, turn handsprimgs and join the tifcus. And—later’ in’lifé—who hasn’t felt a thrill as the conductor liftec. his baton for the overture to begin? A moment pregnaat with the glamour of the theatre! Music casts its spell throughout all the Ages of Man. Is it wise thén, in this enlightened and prosperous day to countenance substitution of a shadow of music . for the real thing in the theatre. Music is an emotional art and therefore loses an important element when de- livered by a third party. Imagine the Irish following.a Music Box on St. Patrick’s Day! Or fife and drum music by a Machine on Memorial Day! Incongruous? Of course, but not more so than a mechanical overture in the theatre. Talking pictures——a new dramatic form; the radio——which transmits music ‘directly and does reflect the artist’s mood of the moment; the phono- graph in the home—where living music usually is not available—are not at issue here. We are dis- cussing only the substitution of Mechanical Music for Real Music in the thegtre, in consequence of which Real Music is being eliminated in theatres. Music has always exercised a powerful influence over the gentler nature of man. It is a universally be- loved art. Would it not be deplorable if any develop- ment should diminish musical appreciation and dis- courage musical education?
