COURT DECIDES OTHERWISE
Women ar not ltgrlbla to vote
Tuesday on the proposition of the It
nance of $1,000,000 bonda for erec
tion of achool bulldlnga In Omaha,
according to a ruling of Election
Commissioner Moorhead.
"The statute doea not permit
women to vote on school bonds," de
clared Mr. Moorhead.
A different new of the qwntlon waa
taken by Attorney Herring of the Board
nf Education, who cited a supreme court
decision to support his opinion. .
In mo In Dawson county a school bond
question was up. There ths women voted
and the oase went Into ths courts, tha
opponents holding that tha election was
otd tor reason of failure of tha statute
to authorise tha rotse of women oil
proposition of that kind.
Tha mm went to tha Nebraska supreme
court, and that tribunal held that tha
election was Jee;al and tha fact that
woman Toted for or against tha bonda did
not invalidate them.

Passmore Marvels at
Prosperity of Omaha
Unooln K( Pusamor of Philadelphia,
rtoa president of tha Peas Mutual Ufa
Ineuranoe company, voices admiration
for th prosperity of Omaha and Ne
braska, lie 1 here for two daya on a
IMOO-mlle trip to all agencies of his com-
' pe-uy, of which be baa general charge,
Fifteen agents of th company met him
at luncheon at Motel Fontanel!. . Among
-them r C 8. Oould, stats general
agent; H. W. Binder, state loan agent,
both of Omaha, and Shelly F. Miller,
xnt at St. Joseph, who cam her to

Mr. Fassmore,
singing
conductors
choir as though It were a great respon
sive Instrument, and when on ponders
upon the necesssry mount of personality,
tect and patience required to draw such
response enr-es and flexibility from ITS
average mortals who have, llks all the
rest of us, been taught from earliest
youth to crush In the bud soy semblance
of emotional expression, one mervels at
tha result.
At' no time since Its organisation did
the Mendelssohn Choir do better work
than on the nccealon of the closing eon
rerfs of lis career with the Chicago Sym
phony orchestra. The sublimity of Its
climaxes, marvellously attained and su
perbly sustained, placed the Choir among
the first of American musical organisa
tions. From every standpoint of critical
view, Mr. Kelly la to be congratulated
n hla artistic achievement. That the
five-year contract with the Chicago
ftymphony Orchestra expired Waa but th
result of time's flight; whether It Is
to be renewed Is yet to be decided. Mu
sical Omaha can scarcely afford to .11
low thlt splendid partnership to lapse,
but It takes more than worda of praise
to at i poor t the undertaking. Financially,
tha venture has not- been a auoceis.
Moreover, the existing conditions have
laid too heavy a burden on the conduc
tor of the choir and those who so en
thusiastically give of their time and tal
ent that Omaha may have the privilege
of enjoying auch a splendid festival as
Ins been afforded during tha laat five
year. It would ordinarily be enough for
those In the Choir, who not only volun
tarily work, but also voluntarily contri
bute of their meana to keep It alive, to
provide for the artistic side of the ven
ture, without any responsibility for tha
financial obligation entailed. This view
Is coming to be better understood, and
some words expressed during th week
may have fallen ok fertile soli, and the
futur of th Mendelssohn choir be made
the more secure by reason of Its being
given the support it deserves and which
Is yet to fcfc developed.
"Kmer'a Lament,'!' which was sung the
first evening and repeated by request the
second , melees a stronger general appeal
upon each hearing. The old Irlih lament
with I la mournful melody la admirably
adapted to the words of t,ady Gregory,
and the wonderful musical form ot tha
composition with Its canonical double
duet between tenor end baas and soprano
and alto la as expressive as It Is strict.
Many ct th uninitiated may not know
what a canon in mini a la It la th
strictest variety of musical Imitation. On
voice sings a melody and another follows
at a fixed Interval above or below the
first with the same progression of In
tervals exactly Imitated. It is Just Ilka
perfectly serious gam of follow th
leader. ,
Th writer baa heard many compli
mentary remarks about the program books
at the concerts. There was not an ad
vertisement In them and with the names
of the participants of both choir and or
chestra, the words of the poems which
were art to music, and the .explanatory
notes nf the orchestral numbers they
formed beautiful souvenirs ot this me
morable festival These little books were
only another manifestation of the good
taste which has always been In evidence
In tha appointments at the spring con
certs.
