The Saengerfeit and Omaha.
The success attending the Northwestern
Saengerfest when it waa last held In Omaha
makes certain an equal measure of success for
the Saengerfest when held here next year.
Neither war nor business depression can drown
out munlr, or the love of music, and with the
enthusiastic support of the local German so
cities, and the co-operation of other elements in
the community, the meeting will be certain to
attract a large attendance and score a big hit,
and there ran be no question whatever about
Omaha doing Ita part.
Regardless of the location of the Saengerfest,
The Bee has a suggestion to make right here, to
be acted upon only in case a favorable contin
gency arises. It will be remembered that the
saving factor of our Trans-Mlsslsslppi exposition,
after a period of' hard sledding in the face of
the distractions of the war with Spain, was
found In the great celebration of the conclusion
'of .he conflict participated in by President
MoKinley and a galaxy of public and military
man. It is at least possible, not probable, mat
the Saengerfest may have a chance to convert
the occasion of lta next meeting into a grand
musical peace Jubilee, for few people .believe
thla war can be ended without glory, enough in
it for all sides and should aueh an opportunity
be utilized, it would make It an event larger and
more memorable than the most hopetol anti
cipation. '

. Printing for the SUte or by the State. .
.Another proposition that is to be put up to
our lawmakers, according to ita advance agents,
Is the establishment of a state prtntery, from
which all official publications are to be turned
out. Other atatea do their own printing we are
told, ao- why not Nebraska, and pencila are
sharpened to figure out the possible profit or
saving.
Not being In the Job printing business. The
Bee may auggest without any self-interest, that
this la a purely business proposition, a. question
of dollars and cents. Other states do a lot of
things that we do not do, and Nebraska does
some things which other atatea do not do. Some
atatea have even elected their puhllc. printer by
popular vote and, paid him by fees, making tha
office the jrrandest grafting Job on the list.
while others have conducted a atate printing de
partment under competent direction on a
strictly business basis with satisfactory results.
It all get baek to the volume of work to be
done, and the experience and efficiency of those
deputed to do It, and experience and efficiency
are not to be had without a complete divorce
ment from politics. Our notion Is that the first
thing In order Is to try out a s'ate civil service
plan In existing departments of atate activity,
and see how It pana before taking on something
else aa complicated aa a print shop, especially;
when It can be readily taken on any time that

L If 'the. different focal charity, organisations

False Ideas About Women
A On... Btady.
In the current number of th Woman's Home Com- l
panmn Misa Ida V. Tarhell. the moot oiaTin(,iiini
of women writer, undfrtakea to ilhow the falKlty of
certain Ideas en the woman qiKtli which are apreid
throughout the country by platform . apeakcrs. H?r
tatpmenta are baaed on a atudy of the laat national
census, ao far aa that pondnroua document' relates to
marriage, divorce, motherhood and. wage-working.
Concerning; the charge that "lee" than half the 4u,mo.
V women of the country marry," Mlaa Tarbell aaya:
"If w consider tha eex aa a whole, regardleaa of
age. this U true. W have In the United States. now
44.C.S.DS9 'female.' Including all from 1 year and under
to 100 years and over. Fifty-two and aevpn-toritha per
cent of the babes, maldii and women are single,
that la. literally lesa than half of the eex are married
But drop out those not jret of marriageable age, and
you have a different story. There will, of course, be
a difference of opinion about what la a marrlagfeanle
age; but lot ua call It 19 or over. If we settle on that,
we must drop at once from our estimate something
over Jn.Ono.OOO of the aex. It puts a different com
plexion at once on the marriage percentage. As a
fact, 70 per cent of thoee who are IS years or more old
marry; and If you raise, the ace to 20, WH4 per rant
marry; to K, 88.T per cent marry, -
"But, grant the figure to be correct It la hard.
even for an orator, to defy a census snd still the
platform cries that 'women don't marry as they ono
did.' Th truth la they marry mora freely than they
did In 1900 or In 190. There has beep a gain of nearly
per cent In the number of. marriages of women over
IS In the last twenty years; and per cent, when deal
Ins; with nearly 90,000.000, ia a considerable number.
Facta Ahoat Divorce.
"There has been an increase in divorce. In the
SO.000.000 married women whom th cenau takers of
1S10 reported, they found lKS,06o who had been di
vorced. Considering tt. difficulties of married lire.
tha number doea not appall. It rather give on a
greater respect for human beings to aee that thy
can handle uch a complicated relation with such :t
malt percentage of (llnaatcr. There is no other human
relation that can ahow anything Ilka ao large a sta
tistical proof of success. The number of divorces
found in 1910 Is greater, proportionately, than the
cenrus takers unearthed In 1S00, still larger than they
found In 1880. In each of thee ten-year perioda there
has been' an Increase of on-a-tenth of 1 per cent. It
Is doubtful If thla loss be due to lose of faith In mar
riage. A proportion of it la du to a higher Ideal of
marriage, an unwillingness to se th relation pros
tituted by a dissolute, cruel or unfaithful partner.
"A perocntair la due, too, to th greater careleaa
ne with which marriage are mad under our
changing eoolal practice. , We have removed large' y
from boys and gin tha protective social devices by
which wa one guided their relatione and choices.
They go and com freely, and, as might be expected,
marry with less sense of tha aerlousness of their
undertaking." '

Mlas Tarbell quotes a platform speaker who claims
that tha family la doomed to destruction, owing to
th fart that women are dtasatlsfled and are going
Into Industry. Thla speaker says that there are ae -
era! million young girl in our factories and shops
Mlas Tarbell answers this claim with th following
statement of facts:
"As a matter of fact, far from then being avral
million young girls In Industries, there are just about
eight millions (8,076,77!) girls and woman of all area.
from 10 to 100. employed a part or all of the time In

Only about one-fifth of the eight millions are in

The Coloratura sra Voire.
OMAHA. Iec. IS.-To the Edltcr of The
IW.-Ai the dictionaries and encyclo
pedias seem a hit chary in defining thia
voice and few understand what la meant
by It a description, a little graphic to
be sure, may make It clearer.
It appllea more peclflcally to th
soprano voice In Ita ability to Imitate
the quality, timbre, color, tint or char
acter of mualral tones, and mora par
ticularly to the wind Instruments of the
orchestra.
The tone of the saxophone Is said to be
made up of those overtones or harmonics
or upper partial that give It a sound
more closely allied to the human vole
than any other musical Instrument
In the case of the female soprano
voice, In the higher registers, the flute
Is the instrument par excellence to which
she would so color her tones aa to Im
itate it a far more beautiful instru
ment and belonging to the same order
as that of the voice or the wind Instru
ments. As the different primary colors of the
rainbow, when mixed, make different
shades, or a we say other colors, so also
In tone when the different harmonica
or overtones are mixed In certain pro
portions we get characteristic musical
tones and hence the characteristic musi
cal instruments.
.The soprano who can sing aa the trained
artist or prima donna doe in these aria
and trills In a higher class of musical
art. by ao coloring her voice as to do It
artistically. Is said to have a coloratura
Voice.
When the San Carlos opera .company,
under the auspices of the Bhrlners, were
here recently a good demonstration of
this waa given.
In th opera of Lucia, In the "mad"
ecene In act three, with all its difficult
arias and trllla, the prima donna. Ed.
via-na Vaccarl. the soprano. Is seen to
make her way to that end of the stage
directly over the flute player in the or
chestra and there the two are seen In
what at times would seem In active
recitative or musical talk er aa the
French would aay In aria parlante. and
at times It ia difficult to tell which is
vole and which la flute.
So well haa the alnger under control
th form of her mouth and her nasal
chambera that enable her on occasions
by reaoaancn to so color her tones by
the overtones aa to grain the high distinc
tion of being coloratura soprano, a
merit not given to all.
