OUR LETTER BOX.
Br Way of Correction.
OMAHA. March 31 To the Editor of The
Bee: In last night's Bee, under the cap
tion, "Minnesota Seizes Company," your
paper says: "The Northwestern Mutual
Life Insurance company recently built the
Minneapolis Auditorium building." etc.
That Is an error. The Northwestern Mutual
Life Insurance company does not build
auditoriums or any other buildings any
where. It was the Northwestern National
that started to build an auditorium at Min
neapolis. That company commenced its
career In Omaha October 5, 18S8, and moved
to Minneapolis In 1S96. Since then that
company has reorganized and changed
name several times and has absorbed some
fourteen or more small assessment and
stipulated premium companies, and as In
all such cases received only the deteriorated
risks, but by putting Hens on the policies
and scaling down claims has succeeded In
doing a lucrative business (for the man
agers).
The company became known and was
dubbed by the Insurance press as "a dealer
In second-hand goods" because it was made
up almost exclusively of defunct associa
tions. The best haul It ever made was
when It reinsured the Northwestern Life
nnd Savings company pf Des Moines, which
at one time wus a large bond (gold brick)
company.
At an examination made of the company
last year It was shown that the daughter of
the president of the company bought a lot
In Minneapolis for $37,ono and then sold the
lot to tiie company for $50,000; one of the
officers had drawn a check on the com
pany's funds for personal use for $3,500 and
charged to commission account, and other
crookedness of a similar nature.

The Science of Classical Manic
OMAHA, April l.-To the Editor of The
Bee: The average man and woman wond
ers what all the furore Is about, concern
ing Wagner music. Anyone who went to
Parsifal" expecting to hear anything re
sembling melody was disappointed. It is a
nussnge of harmony of a higher order that
Wagner attempts to bring the people to an
appreciation of, with wonderful voices and
wonderful orchestral effect. There Is no
gainsaying, some people have not the ear
to appreciate these subtle and less har
monious harmonies nnd whether the aver
age ear will yet be educated to them is a
mooted question.
It Is significant that at "Parsifal," out of
an orchestra of fifty-four pieces, forty
three were stringed Instruments of the
violin order, besides one harp. There was
no clash In harsh discord In this opera
"Parsifal."
It may Interest some to have put In sim
ple form for them what is meant by classic
music in less harmonious hnrmonies or mu
sic In higher ratios. The following is from
'A sketch of the story of music from the
early ages, long before It was written to
the present time, Including the singing
voice," written as a pastime by the undersigned:
"In order that two sounds may blend In
harmony their resultant acoustic curves
must represent the simplest ratios. There
are only eight in music and the simpler tho
ratios the more harmonious the tone. That
Is, the sound wave strikes the drum mem
brane In a manner favorable and attuned
to the organ of hearing. All other tones
conflict with this crucial test, making when
sounded together discord and noise. No ear
can tune two tuning forks with the precis-
Ion as Is done by making them render on a
screen the mathematical accoustlc curves.
First Is tho curve of the octave and re
sembles somewhat the shape of a horse
shoe and Is the relation of the tone gfven
by one half the string to the whole string.
A note and Its octave form the purest har
mony In musio. Next Is the curve, resemb
ling a wreath, of the Interval of a fifth or
the relation of the whole string to two
thirds of the string, this Is the next perfect
harmony. Next Is tho Interval of a fourth,
or the whole string to three-fourths of the
string. Now In order of pure harmony we
have these ratios, getting less harmonious
until at the seventh the ordinary ear has a
hard time Indeed to get cn rapport:
1 Is to 1 Is unison.
1 is to 2 octave.
2 Is to 3 fifth.
3 is to 4 fourth.
4 Is to 6 major third.
6 is to 6 minor third.
6 is to 7 sixth.
7 is to 8 seventh.
"The original pentachord or five strings
of the Greeks, authorities differ about. It
probably was at least these, the octave,
fifth, fourth and third. The first three
when sounded these early music lovers lik
ened to nature's purest music made by the
planets traveling In their orbits, the musio
of the spheres.
"Modern musio adopted the major and
minor thirds and on these two chords, more
brilliant although less strictly harmonious
than tho original rentachord, all modern
musio la written the perfect major and
minor chords.
"If now by a little study of the ratios.
keeping well to the Interval of the seventh,
and If your ear can appreciate the har
monica that arise In sympathy by resonance
In tone color, by a great orchestra playing
under the master mind of a musical genius,
you will not fall short of an explanation of
classic music as explalnod In part to your
ears by science."

Biennial Elections Bill.
OMAHA, March 31. Governor John H.
Mickey, Lincoln: Dear Sir In reference to
the bill abolishing annual elections, now
before you for consideration, I desire to
make known to you my reasons why the
same should be vetoed, because I believe
ou consider the Interests of the masses,
judging from your attitude In affairs in
Douglas county of which I am cognizant.
There is an ever present sentiment among
a certain small class of citizens In favor of
abolishing juries, of establishing Ufa tenure
In office and anything else to separate them
selves as far as possible from the less for-
unato class of society, not merely socially.
but In both business and politics. It Is this
class comDinea wun me class wno use
money In elections, Importing or colonizing
voters to carry elections, who desire our
elections so consolidated that the Importer
f voters Instead of the state may save
money.
The ballot Is regarded as the most effect
ual weapon for the oppressed and down
trodden, and should be recognized also as a
safety valve for the security of the opulent
and powerful, who from time to time are
reminded of the voice of the people through
our annual elections.
A valuable attribute of citizenship, such
as the ballot, should be exercised at least
once a year even as a mere ordinance or re
minder of the duty and value of citizenship
If for no other reasons. Young men are
yearly becoming of age, and foreigners are
constantly coming to our shores, and the
annual elections provoke public discussion
of public officials and political economy
which Is as beneficial to a republic or state
as the education of children In public
schools. It us continue with our annual
elections Just as our churches may con
tinue with their weekly services, so that
we may examine into the fitness of a part
of our officials each yeai, and continue to
keep separate as far as possible ths
judiciary Xros the etbaf BfaAtbaa of gov
ernment under the spirit of our constitu
tion. I have written this letter at the Instance
of many who share with me the sentiments
expressed herein, and send It to add reasons
supplementary to suggestions already made
public, among the strongest of which Is its
unconstitutionality.
Upon this question our citizens will be
compelled to rely upon the judgment of the
governor as the only authority who can
consider the question and render nn un
biased opinion because of the fact that the
proposed law makes every Judge of our
state an intercsetd party.

EiermlTe Benta In Omaha.
OMAHA. March 31. To the Editor of The
Bee: At the outset let it be said that It Is
not the Intention of this letter to give Omaha
a bad name, nor In any way Injure the
commercial standing. But facts are facts.
We must face true conditions. We are a
growing city, but our retail district, our
retail traJe Is not much larger than It has
been for the last ten years. I especially
refer to the trade of the smaller stores,
particularly leaving out of the question
the three department stores. It is time
that there are some newcomers here. It Is
also a fact that many (and quite a few
recently), old firms are out of business.
It Is a well known fact among business
men that a large per cent of the present
list of merchants In the downtown district
are making no more than a living. At first
glance this may seem exaggerated, but It
remains the truth. But why Is It? Our
condition is apparently prosperous. Our
population has increased. There Is only
one answer the rent monthly rents are
exorbitant. There lies the secret of the
unprosperous condition of our merchants.
I can Justly say that Omaha merchants
are paying twice more than what Is enough
for their locations. It Is unnecessary to
cite Instances or any particular cases.
What Is true on one corner, on one street.
Is true on another.
The merchants are as loyal to Omaha as
any class can be, but Omaha money goes
to the land and the building sharks; a
few of them live here, but most of them
live out of the city. The city Is being
talked about. It Is being pushed. We tell
of Its Immense business possibilities and
what Is the result? The moment a store
room Is vacant fifty people, 90 per cent rep
resent outside firms, are on the ground.
Th landlord sways his power of extortion
until ho finds a tenant that comes to bis
terms. It is then that the battle begins
for the merchant He advertises, he labors
twelve to sixteen hours a day trying In
every way possible to make things go to
meet his rent and pay his expenses, and
what has he left for himself? A mere
raltry sum. Yet he must keep up an ap
pearance, spend money when others can
pull their pocketbook strings and he must
keep boosting the town for fear Omaha
will call him a knocker. And here Omaha
must eventually face the facts face to face.
Can our mcj-chants stand the pressure?
How long?
Here are a few facts of high rent and
not extraordinary locations, principally se
lected for their not so prominent locations.
There are much higher rents than these:
Northeast corner Sixteenth and Harney,
jeweler, $-'50 monthly.
Other stores In same building, $200
monthly.
Butcher, Sixteenth and Harney, $250
monthly.
Stores opposite Her Grand, $75 monthly.
Stores next to Board of Trade on Far-
nam, $100 monthly.
Stores on Fifteenth street. In Crelghton
block, $125 monthly. W. J. W.

fit noon Friday for excavating 6.C00 cubic
yards of earth on the road on the south
line of sections 32 and 33, township 15, range
11. The lowest bidders were Turner A
Kratz, whose bid was 15Hc a yard. There
were three other bids ranging up to 17o

awarded the contract. They consider the
bid of the successful firm lower than could
have been expected.

officers was referred to the committee on
finance, as the commissioners are not quite
sure as to Just how the bills for the ex
penses of the court are to be paid.
