Music
Itroltal by Minn DitTls.
Much Interesting piano music was dis
pensed Inst evening by Miss Allco Vir
ginia Davis, who appeared in a recital at
the First Baptist church. The list of
compositions on the printed program
promised much In tho way of novelty
and Interest. And let It be said to the
credit of Miss Davis, these promises were
fully and pleasantly realized In the course
of the evening.
The set of variations by Beethoven,
which opened the program, were aci
corded a serious and Unaffected perform
ance, and tho group of number by Chopin,
which followed, revealed technical effi
ciency, a broad and resonant tone and a
nice senso of balance and adjustment. A
third group brought to hearing a succes
sion of varied modern compositions, which
pleased by virtue of their colorful and
planlstlo , effects. The "Nocturne" by
Orle'g, Binding's "March Grotesque" and
"Impatience" by MosukowsUI, besides a
qharnctprlstla group by Debussy, all made
a strong appeal to the audience, whose
applause was so Insistent that Miss Davis
added an encore, choosing for that pur
pose Hcnsclt's so-called "Bird-Study."
In the performance of Liszt's B flat
major concerto, with which tho program
closed, MIbs Davis had the able assistance
of Mr. Cecil W. Berryman, who accom
panied on a second piano, the two play
ers attaining a praiseworthy ensemble
and Interpreting the work with brilliance
and vigor. On tho whole, Miss Davis'
playing ' reveals many laudable and In
dividual features. She has a dependable
technique and develops a tone of surpris
ing volume. She has a 'goodly sum of
temperament and has schooled herself to
keep the sarhe well under control. In
response to a recall at the evening's close
Miss Davis added MacDowell's "To a
Wild Rose" as an encore. The audience
was generous with applause and floral
offerings. j, p. d.

The senate refused to reconsider the
vote by -which It approved the Confer
ence report on the agricultural extension
bill. Tho measure now goes to the presi
dent. Tho senate woman suffrage committee
voted to recommend favorably to the
senate tho Shafroth constitutional
.amendment requiring a Btate to vote on
woman suffrage when 8 per cent of the
voters petitioned for such a vote.
As part of a comparative scheme for
practical standardization of federal
buildings the country over," the public

That'the net Income and operating rev
enues of eastern railroads are "smaller
than Is consistent with their assured
prosperity and the welfare of the com
munity" was announced as a .conclusion
by Louis D. Brandels, counsel for the In
terstate Commerce commission. In the 5
per cent advance rate case. He main
tained, however, that to make a hori
zontal advance in all freight rates as
proposed by the railroads was Illegal
and beyond the powers of the commission.
Arguments In the Injunction suit by
which the street railway company Is
seeking to prevent enforcement of the
seven-fares-for-a-quarter ordinance en
acfed by Omaha voters under the Initia
tive and referendum were finished late
yesterday and tho case was taken under
advisement by District Judge 8ears. The
judge announced that decision probably
would be rendered within i week.
According to attorneys who argued the
case. It probably will turn upon two Is
sues, both of which were raised In a suit
In which tho street railway company at
tempted to prevent the submission of
tho Issuo to the voters and both of which
were decided In favor of tho city by
Judge Sears.
Commlaelon'a Juried let Ion,
The first Important issue Is the claim of
the traction company that the State Rail
way commission has exclusive Jurisdiction
over Omaha street railways and .the sec
ond the charge that a sufficient number
of qualified voters did not sign the Initia
tive petitions. The company alleges a
qualified voter must be a registered
voter. Since there were few voters regis
tered under the new election commis
sioner law at the time the petitions were
circulated, the seven-fares-for-a-quartcr
ordinance will be defeated if the courts
In this suit hold with the company's
lawyers.
Howrll "Friend of Conrt.'
As to tho allegation concerning the
State Railway commission, It. Beccher
Howell, Injecting himself Into tho fray
In tho guise of a "friend of tho court,"
volunteered some Information which 1b
said by lawyers not to pertain to a grcAt
extent to the Issues, but which Is calcu
lated to put the street railway company
"In bad." He gave the court the follow
ing Information:
That It Is the purpose of this Utlga-
tlon, however futile It may ultimately
prove, to discourage efforts to reduce
street railway fares in the city of Omaha,
and thus defer as long as possible the
benefits that might arise from such re
duction to the people of the city of
Omaha."
Cites Former Ananer,
Also Mr. Howell says that In an at
tempt made In court In 1909 tu reduce
fares In Omaha the company answered:
"Tho Omaha & Council Bluffs Street
Railway company for further answer and
by way of plea of abatement, avers that
tho State Railway commission does not
have jurisdiction over this said complain
ant and does not have Jurisdiction over
this defendant by reason of any of the
matters and things set down In the said
complaint and does not have Jurisdiction
to grant the relief prayed for,"
has been the chief factor In this ttt stint
to Anglicise America, Is, 1 believe, still
a British subject.
"We are loyal first to America and us
loyal Americans, true patriots, wo must
ardently work against any alliance with
Great Britain.''

Suffice It to say that when she recov

nothing was missing.
Bertha was riding unnoticed on tho

"Loosen 'em yourself! That's 'Fainting

"Talks on Newspaper Advertising"
BY TRUMAN A. De"VEESE, BUFFALO, N. Y.
Up-To-The-Minute
Advertising
If I wore asked to, name
two things that distinguish
the newspaper from all other
advertising mediums I would
confine myself to two phases
of newspaper publicity
Timeliness of Appeal and
Concentration.
Other mediums cover tho
country thinly and have a
long life. But the newspa
per makes a quick, decisive
impression and multiplies
itself many times with tho
largest possible audience in
a given area. It is tho only
medium in which you can
concentrate your advertis
ing in certain well defined
areas where you have distri
bution. Advertising' ' copy "should
be written with these facts
constantly in mind. It should
be written for the common
man or woman of average
intelligence. Lincoln said:
"God must have loved the
common people or he would
not have made so many of
them." This is your au
dience. Copy should be along
"human interest" lines. It
should contain no redun
dancies or tautologies no
striving after unusual rhet
oric Its sentences should
be short, crisp and snappy.
It should have terseness and
lucidity and should bo n
stranger to the conjunction
" and . " Newspaper copy
should bo newsy and gossipy
rather than literary and
yet slang and ungrammati
cal sen ton cos should be
a v o i d o d. Each sentence
should be full of salesman
ship, but never without dig
nity or seriousness.
Flippant and frivolous ex
pressions do not inspire con
fidence. If a merchant is
not serious in his advertis
ing the public soon acquires
tho habit of regarding him
as a joker. Tho public will
not take him seriously. Ho
soon gels a reputation for
frivolous utterances and tho
time will come when a wo
man will read his advertise
ment and will remark to her
neighbor, "I don't believe
it." Ho will reap tho same
fate' as the public man who
acquires a reputation as a
humorist. . No humorist iu
Congress over loft an im
press upon the legislation
of his time. A Minister of
the Gospel who spends his
time telling funny stories
out of the pulpit and who has
a reputation for frivolous
joshing and jesting will
never linvo any real influ
ence in tho pulpit.
More important than these
considerations, however, is
the up-to-the-minuto feature
of newspaper advertising.
The newspaper, is tho only
medium in which you can
do up lo-tho-minute adver
tising It comes out every
day or every weekday in
tho year. In tho newspaper
the advertiser can take ad
vantage of clumging seasons,
sentiments nud styles. Ho
can advertise rubbers on a
rainy day and furs on a cold
day. He can take timely ad
vantage of public interest in
stirring questions, local or
national. He can strike at
the psychological moment.
He doesn't have to prepare
copy sixty or ninety days bo
fore the advortismefct ap
pears. Great firms, and bus
iness policies sometimes un
dergo radical changes in
sixty days.
Tn the newspaper tho ad
vertiser can adapt his Bpace
to his financial ability. If
business is coming in lively
ho can go in heavily with
larger space. Ho can get
quick, immediate return,s-or
he can do educational adver
tising to create a permanent
"good-will asset" for his
house. He can clean out in
short order a liqo that is
overstocked. He can appeal
to one class today and to an
other class tomorrow. The
newspaper is "on the firing
line." It is dealing in live
issues There are days when
tho news channels are clog
ged with commonplace
events. At other times the
popular interest in some
great stirring issue or epi
sode is intense. The adver
tiser can tako advantage of
all this in tho newspaper. In
tho newspaper tho adver
tiser can do it NOW.
