Lincoln, Nebr., May 31 The state
board of irrigation baa been notified
that the contract for the steel bridge
across the Platta rlrer, south of
Kearney has been let to a Kansas
City firm at a cost of something over
$44,000. Kearney and Buffalo coun
ties pay half and the state the other
half.

A delegation of prominent state
workers filed Into Secretary of State
Pool's office last Monday and formal
ly presented him with a mammoth
petition containing nearly 70.000
names, asking the secretary of state
to place on the ballot the prohibitory
amendment to, be voted on at the fall
election. A movie man was present
and took a moving picture of the for
mal acceptance of the petition. The
scene was a one-act drama, with Sec
retary of State Pool as leading man,
Including understudies, supernumer
aries, henchmen, ladles in waiting,
soldiers, and guards or the castle,
standing in various poses. The mov
ie picture will be used in the cam
paign for prohibition this fall, and
exhibited in various parts of the
state.
A move, to pn tithe Pure Food and
Oil - Department, on a non-partisan
basis . has bee,n Initiated by. Deputy
Commissioner C.'E. Harman and oth
ers who are vitally interested In the
efficiency of this department of the
state government. The plan is to
Mown an ' autt'iKi merit to oe placed
on the ticket at the fall election that
the people may. have an opportunity
to vote on th question, relltlons
are being circulated over the state
embodying the proponed change, 40, -J
000 names being required to place
the amendment on the ballot. It Is
proposed to make the p resent term
of commissioner six, Instead of two,
years, and to make him the head of
the department rather than the gov
ernor, who Is at present the commis
sioner while his appointee Is deputy.
This is prartlcally the plnn that ob
tains on the board of commissioners
of state institutions, the railway com
mission and the supreme court, with
the exception that the latter two de
partments jre elective. In addition
to this, it la also proponed that the
fond and oil commission, If the
amendment should be submitted and
carried, be placed on a civil service
basis. The plan has been under con
sideration for some years, but has
never been attempted heretofore.
There are a good many dry repub
licans in the state who are at present
questioning the wisdom of the nom
ination for governor of Judge Sutton
of Omaha. The fact that Omaha
and Douglas county are so wet' that
a dry ticket down there would have
about as much effect as a drouth in
the middle of the ocean, and that
Judge Sutton who was running on a
perfectly dry ticket, romped away
with the big end of both the wet and
dry vote, has caused some specula
tion. An investigation by some of
these curious ones as to the reason
of this may, they claim, have a bear
Ing on the following statistical In
formation: Douglas county, includ
ing Omaha and its villages and
towns, has a bonded Indebtedness of
123,141.703.24. Of this amount the
city of Omaha alone carries 118,054.
860 of bonds, already registered,
, while at the late primaries another
$1,700,000 was voted but have not
yet been registered. This total of
approximately $25,000,000 bonded
Indebtedness, drawing 4 per cent,
which is a fair average, would mean
$1,000,000 interest to be paid by the
Douglas county tax payer in addition
to his regular assessment. There
are good reasons for believing, ac
cording to those who have looked up
the matter, that right now the busi
ness interests of Omaha and Douglas
county are more concerned in con
trolling the state government than
they are in the wet and dry question.
Thus speculateth our brethren of the
Eleph. B. Moose tribe, who are hav
ing much to-anawer for in these days
of their political tribulation.

Why We Are Opposing A
Government Armor Plant
Some people say that the very fact that the Bethlehem Steel Company ts atrxretively
fighting the proposal to build a Goveratiiaat armor plnt is-rorw luive proof that the Company
is seeking la asanrfforitawdf -the "vasto profits" derived from private manufacture.
Tk fact is that mrmor making is the least profitable feature of steel manufacture.
The reason we oppose a Government plant is very simple. It is this:
Even though there is but little profit in the making of armor, we have invested over
$7,000,000 in our armor plant;
That plant Is useless for any other purpose; if a Government plant is built the useful
ness of our plant is destroyed.

School of Music

We had arrived in our last week's
article on ragtime to the point where
we found that ragtime contained
none of the essentials of music ex
cept rythm; for real mu lc contains
design in structure of form and pur
pose, administering to the needs of
the soul, bringing about a surcease
of strife in daily anxieties; an ele
vating influence . of mind toward
higher and nobler thoughts. Real
melody Is contained in this high form
of music, but because it may not be
so readily apparent as in the lower
forms of musical composition does
not warrant the assumption that
there is no melody there. The high
est form of thought is found in sen
tences that necessitate many read
ings and careful analyzation in order
to get at the depths of the meaning
contained therein. So likewise the
highest form of melody In music is
that which demands deepest concen
tration and study to discover the
real meaning of the melodic sentence.
And much meaning there surely is,
forin it is contained all the Borrows.
Joys, griefs, regrets, loves and all
other emotions and passions known
to the soul of man. And this Is the
true value of music in that as it por
trays the emotions of man It likewise
developes and trains the soul in a
true appreciation and cultivation of
the best emotional traits given to
man. '
Put what does ragtime develop?
Only the heels.' And in our present
form of heel-work, ragtime dances,
for the good of the world we could
very well get along without It. Now,
I do not mean to say that I am a dis
believer of dancing. Far from It, I
believe In It but only In the aesthet
1 cdance. The dance as performed
by such people as Anna Pavlowa Is a
high and noble art, for It depicts life
In all forms, portrays the eraotldna of
man as vividly as does music or
painting, develops the spiritual as
well as the physical. And this form
of dancing is becoming universal and
possible for all people, for one can
not take up a magaiine or Sunday
supplement without reading of the
different schools of this form of
dancing. This may seem to be mere
nonsense to be advocating such a
kind of universal dancing; well, per
haps, but all I have to' say is that K
is the lowest of influences in the rag
time dances that appeals to the low
ness left in animal man that creates
In him a desire for that sort of danc
ing. And this is because ragtime is
only rythm and of the kind of rythm
that makes the strongest appeal to
the physical in man, and is carried to
extremes in the dives of the under
world and with but slight modifi
cation In some higher circles. So far
as melody is concerned there is just
enough variety of notes to give a
bare semblance of melody, but they
are all alike and close observation
will show startling cases where they
are almost repetitions of one anoth
er. I believe that enough has been
said to show the proper place and
use of ragtime, and also of its col
losal uselessness in the world. Any
one who deBlred to take the trouble
could easily find many other good
reasons why ragtime haa no rightful
claim for existence; but that must
be left to all thoughtful persons who
have the good of their eternal soul
at the aim of all activity in their
lives.
In bur Story of Music we had ar
rived at the place where music had
made its first entrance into, the world
and man's- consciousness, but only in
the form of the first elementary prin
ciple of music that of rythm. Next
week I am going to start an entirely
new topic, which will be Music as a
Language, in wh'ch will be taken up
the birth of melody, the cause and
result of melody.
