1 THEPADIFISTS WHO © HELD UP NATION Says They Are Like the “Cop- perheads’’—Appeals for Red Cross. LINCOLN, Neb. June 14.—Col Theodore Roosevelt, in a speech which he delivered here to-day at the cele- bration of the semi-centennial of the Statehood of Nebraska criticised the national policy of the United States for failure to protest promptly against German ruthlessness and brutality, deplored national failure to prepare for the war, pleaded for undivided loyalty to the American flag, de- nounced the pacifists, and asked for generbus support and for the use of the Red Cross in caring for American troops on European battlefields. “It would be impossible to overstate the damage done to thé morale fitre the professional pacifists propaganda, the peace-at- any-price propaganda. ‘The profes- sione) pacifists during the first two et 1 half years of thé war, have oc- cubed precisely the position of the copperheads during the time of Abraham Lincoln “The fact that sheer cowardness was more potent than the love of peace was proved by the fact that the leading pacifists dared not con- demn a single specific act of wrong- doing when such act was committed by the powerful and brutal foe they of our country by most feared- many.” “And nevertheless we have not been kept out of war. Our avoidance of duty simply invited such cumulative Fepetition of inault and injury that finally war was forced on us.

Billy recommended this test: “If you are in the church.and are not quite sure you are a Christian you can put ft down you are not one. If you Want to find out go to a good old-fashioned prayer meeting, When you get there, if you feel like a man sitting in a poker game with a bob- tall straight to draw to and six pat hands out against him you can be sure you are no Christian.” The patriotic tone of Billy's meet- ings will be more intense than ever to-night. “Big Bill” Edwards, con- ventionally known as the Hon, Will- iam H.

Your success with the Pianola is therefore well deserved, and I view the growth of your popularity both in America and in Europe, with satisfaction, as verification of my early opinion as to the future of the Pianola, “T cannot conceive of any reason why the Pianola should not be used in every home. As a pianoforte, when the keyboard is used, it leaves nothing to be desired, while for acquiring a broad musical education for the development of the understanding of good music which modern culture demands, it is undoubtedly the most perfect, and really great medium. “There have appeared in recent years*a great many mechanical devices for piano-playing.

The Pianola is a highly perfected player- piano. The comparison begins and ends there —for no other player-piano is, or could be, a Pianola. The vital difference between the Pianola and the ordinary player- piano lies in the complete and accurate control of effects, and the unlimited freedomof expression which the Pianola gives the player. Persons who have a nat- ural taste and desire for music but who have never had the opportunity to ac- quire technical skill as per- formers, will find that the Pianola satisfies their crav- ing for expressive music, This remarkable instru- The new Pianola at $450. ment puts years of training and study into your fingers in a few days and enables you to create music at will—to weave your personal- ity into the compositions of the great masters and produce any desired musical effect. Although the Pianola is a wonderful piece of mech- anism there is absglutely no suggestion of the mechan- ical in its playing. As a regular piano the Pianola is an instrument of exquisite tonal beauty and perfect action —a pianoforte equal to the efforts of any pianist. The recognized superiority of the Pianola does not necessarily mean a high price.
