Her voice was iw toft, ' Gentle, and lav; an excellent thing ia womu , Shakespeare, .'A wise Mull Cut pluck a leaf, and fiad a lecture in 't Elisabeth Barrett Browning. By HENRIETTA M. REE?; WE HEAR a great: deal about " democracy in music these days. There are some who who talk about the democratizing of good music, there are others who ask what one thinks about "jazz," and if one does not consider it in, the same ',' class with the work of Chopin, he is not considered democratic. If a good .. musician does not recognize a poor musician as being an artistics equal , he is not considered democratic, and so it goes, until one wonders what democracy really is, when applied to music. ' ; , According to the dictionary, de mocracy is political and social equal ity in general, a state of society in which no hereditary differences of rank or privilege are recognized, but 1 it does not say that there are not dif ferences of rank or privilege. In a ' democracy, however, as L have al ways understood it, merit is a fac tor. The newsboy, for instance, may : become a great captain of industry, or a great musician or an inventor. or ." even president of the United States, and attain all the correspond- intr privileges, regardless of birth. But the newsboy, to become a great captain of industry must know how to increase his resources, how to 'deal with men, and he must have a .' persistency, over and above that of the other worker, or he will not achieve a high place in his line. To be a great inventor, lie must study, and work things out. He must have ideas, and then have the persistency to develop them, more remarkably than the others in the same line. To be a great musician, he must learn , all about the science of sounds, the technic of exoressing them, and he must know the most artistic way of doing so. To be a president of the United States, well, that is too much for this discussion. had knowed I could have rode. I would have went." But they are not free in the same sense as the man who is free because he has mastered all the difficulties, and who can bend them to his will. ...Neither are they equal to him. Democracy is all right " in art when it refers to opportunity.. It would be a wonderful thing if mu sical advantages could be elective in the public schools, without espe cial epe,nse, so that financial poverty would be no handicap, and if poorly prepared teachers could be eliminated. But no one can demo cratize results, and it is not with the beginnings ' that the world comes into contact, but with results. And the results are pot equal, and they never will be, and all the bolshevism in the world can never make them so." Good Cheer to the Sick From the, Heart of a Child X' " Musically every pupil who takes music lessons has the same oppor ' : tunities of learning something about . .the art. He has the' same oppor tunity in the first place of choos ing a, good music teacher. If. he chooses one, who merely looks fero cious, or who talks in generalities, and does not clearly explain the poiuts of, the lesson, or does not .; insist that these points be lefrned :. and understood and , other points taken up, according as the pupil can, he is not compelled to stay with that teacher. It was hjs choice to study with him, and when he finds ' that he is not learning as much as he is able and he recognizes that it is not because he does not apply himself, he is free to try elsewhere. .'He is free to find hjs own, to work j . out his own salvation. Granted that all pupils are irj the beginning "free and equal," as far ; 'as their musical knowledge is con-"- cerned, the vital point is that' they ' do hot stay that way. Certain ones have natural aptitude, persistency and a sensitiveness which makes ' them respond much more ' quickly than certain other ones, and then no longer are they free and equal. ' The poor ones, who do not think ' or study, or who, even if they do think and study, are for some char acteristic reason, not able to see the ' points which are perfectly plain to the better ones, these are not even free, for as long as they continue in music, these points, like sins, will , .find them out, and hound them and torment them, and defeat - them '. throughout their whole musical ,ex ;,' perience. - ' V .- - But many of them do not see any ' difference. They feel that this is a .free country, therefore, just , as they -x are as qualified to be president of .'.the United States, as any. one else packing only th money to run a . campaign, so they are just as quali fied to be musicians. Preparation, talent, ability, and resultant person ality, pooh, they are all right if one happens to have them, but not at all necessary. . Perhaps they are a handicap, especially if one. aspires to wealth as a popular composer. They are free, Just in the same sense as the woman was free .from the laws of grammar, who said, "If I The immigration officers detained some of the chorus singers of both the Metropolitan and the Chicago Grand Opera companies. when they attempted, to return to th;s country for the season. They were held un der the new ruling of the secretary of labor, concerning contract labor. This provides that aliens arriving here under contract are to be re garded 3s laborers, and must con form to regulations governing the entrance of such persons unless they can show that they have achieved artistic success, and are gaining consummate financial returns.- It is a ruling such as has been in other years ben temporarily applied to singers. These singers were finally admitted as it was considered that they were artists, or they would not have been engaged in these com panies. According to the musical leader, the point raised js of serious importance ' to the musical 'ad vancement o'f this country". There are young people who overflow the musical studios ot America ad mittedly as clever, anct with voices of incomparable superiority, ' who contend that the reason for their ig norance of traditions, opera, and the languages is the system of exclusion practiced against them in the opera house':, tr.at they have uo reason for studying the choruses,.,' since there is little chance for their en gagements with most American opera companies. - , .

With the aid Of the school officials they grew many varieties. v Instead of behaving as so many children do by destroying the plants, their object was to grow more beau tiful ones. Each room in the school had a new bright bouquet daily and the kiddies picked fancy little bunches to take to their friends.

Judson of Omaha has been appointed state chairmau for Nebraska to conduct the third roll call of the American Red Cross from November 2 to 11. ' ' The appointment of' Mr. Judson " was made public by Edward K. Hardy, manager of the central divi- ' sion: ' Mr. Judson has been an active Red Cross worker for -several years, ber tng especially interested in the work of the Omaha chapters. When the 'second Red Cross war fund cam : paign was launched Mr. Judson was i. appointed director of that campaign for-Nebraska. The signal success .that attended that work resulted in ; the naming of Mr. Judson as divi . sional director for the Christmas roll and during that campaign Mr. Jud a son .directed the activities in Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan and s Nebraska,, comprising the central division, from Chicago.

These supplies must be distributed promptly and efficiently, and this distribution means the maintenance of trained workers in places where the supplies are and where they are most needed.

The national work centers around the wounded and ill soldiers who are patients in hospitals , There are thousands of American soldiers still suffering from - the severe wounds they received in tfie war, and as long as a soldier remains in the gov ernment hospitals there is crying need for the Red Cross and the serv ice it gives, -v ( The organized peace work is an other important branch of the local service given by the Red .

For the coming tour of the Chi cago Grand Opera association Gen eral Director Cleofonto Campaninl has chosen three of the most popular operas of the present day, "Aida," enjoys a popularity that , is un equalled by any o'pera ever written. This great Verdi work is known the world over, and many is the per so n who has never seen an opera production, hums and , whistles tunes from "Aida" not aWare that it was" written by master hand of all Italian composers. "Aida" is filled with musical gems. ' There is the great Triumphal march which is un equalled from amartial standpoint. Every band of any musical standing never fails to play this great march, and never does a public fail to re spond with applause.'. ! '. "Favorite With Tenors. "Celesto A'da" is another wonder ful number. Every great tenor of the day sings this love song, and many a young tenor is judged ac cording to the manner in which he can render this popular aria. Com ing at the very beginning of the opera such a song tests a tenor in every way that incites criticism, and he who is fortunate enough to meet the demands of this exacting number can consider himself a -tenor of first rank. To hear Alessandro Dolci render this aria is inded a treat for every lover of real music. "O Patria Mio" (My Native Land) stands as one of the most enchanting arias ever written. In this number Verdi has gotten straight to the heart of his subject. The music is purely orien tal, touched with the Italian flavor of harmony, "O Patria Mio" is the supreme test for every dramatic so prano. To hear .Rosa Raisa sing this glorious and enchanting num ber is a thrill that; will never be for gotten. . Raisa has been proclaimed the finest portrayer of Verdi's Ethiopian unhappy little princess that has ever graced the stage There are several excellent duets and trios, the most popular being "O Terra Addio" (Farewell to Earth). This aria is written for tenor and soprano. The scene takes place in the dungeon underneath the temple. , Ballet Is Feature. One of the features of "Aida is the corps de ballet. All lovers of dancing will enjoy this scene in the second act. "Aida" is also one of the most spectacular of alt operas. Laid in the land of Egypt during the reign of the Pharaohs, this opera calls for all the splendor and coloring that belonged to that wonderful country; when it was supreme among the na-i tions of the earth. "Aida" was written at the request of the king of Egypt, Tind its first performance took place beneath the shadow of the pyramids. "La Boheme" is one of the most successful operas , ever penned by Giocoma Puccini. By musical crit ics it is looked Upon as the best score he has ever written. Puccini is now looked upon as the leading composer in Italy, and by far the most popular. In point of fact he has written more successful operas than any of the modern composers. The action of "La Boheme" takes place in the Latin quarter of Paris, dating the period of 183Q. . , Setting in Paris. It was adapted from a story hy Muger emitted "La Vie Boheme." The principal characters are Rodol fo,. a poet; Marcel, a painter; Col lene, a philosopher; Schaunard, a musican: Mimi. a little flower- maker, a Musetta, a happy-go-lucky little girl that is so otten seen gay Bohemia, ine in action of the dollar member-1 opera takes place in an attic ana a Cross and each i snow-covered street in rans. The story depicts tne lire ot tnose struggling for fame and fortune in the artistic world. In spite of all the deprivation, this optimistic little band never fails to see the bright side of life and meet them with citecr and nope, cut witn it an An ink bottle has been invented that feeds one drop of its contents at a time through a short spout into a drawing pen as a bulb on one side - there comes one great tragedy, that is pressed. I being the death of Mimi caused practically through the lack of prop er food. In this opera Puccini is really at his. best. He seems to have lived a par of this life through his music, ' ' There ire several great arias in this opera'. No member in the cast is left out, thus every member must be. a singer of excellent abilty and an actor or actress of great talent. "La Boheme" is an opera filled with action throughout. . Alme Gluck as Mimi The great tenor number in "La Boheme" is the life story cf Rudolph It is called "Racconto di Rodolfo" (Rudolph's Narrative). This aria is one of the most spirited and mu sical tenor solos ever written. To hear Alessandro Bonci sing this aria should prove a delight in every way; Tl I vr? ? t:t ine aria sung oy ivumi, in wnicn she tells of her life's story, is an other song that is known by nearly every soprano in opera. On this tour the role of Mimi will be sung by Alma Gluck, the noted American soprano. Miss Gluck has sung this role many, many times and has de lighted thousands of opera goers with her charming impersonation of the part. Another famous aria is the Muset ta waltz. Here is a number that shows vim and dash just as one would expect to . find in a little woman of her nature. Miss Myrna Sharlow will interpret the fascinat ing and care-free Musetta. Other well-known numbers in the yopera are "Mimi, Thou Here," "Addio" (Farewell), "Ah, Mimi, ; Tu Piu" (Ah, Mimi, False One), and "Vec chia Zimarra" (Farewell Old Coat). This last named number is sung by Colline. It tells the story of now his faithful friend, his overcoat that has kept him warm and comfortable, must now find other hands to care for it as it is to be sold to purchase bread and medicine . for poor, sick little Mimi. Others in the cast will be Giocomo Rimini and Gustave Huberdeau. V Bitten by Mad Dog, Kills Animal With Bare Hands Asheville, N. C, Oct. 4.-J. O.

Other members of the company are Misses Ruth Gor don and Eleanor Lockie, Allegra Grayson, all f Omaha. Under aus pices of the West Coast Chautauqua company, they will tour the entire Pacific coast in concert. . By FORBES FAIRBAIRN, (Unl vernal Service Staff Correapondent.) (Special Cable Dispatch.) London, Oct. 1. "There really is no limit short of extermination of the Irish race, to the policy of repression on w h i c h Viscount French has embarked," says the Manchester Guardian in a leading article reviewing- the critical situa tion in Ireland. "Russia underthe czar is not too strained a parallel. The spirited competition between the civil and military authorities hastens the peril". Is Grave Warning. This is a grave warning to the British government that the present state of affairs in Ireland is on the verge of the breaking point which, unless quickly and effectively checked, will result in chaos the end of which no one can foresee. The abolition of the Irish cen sorship clearly is a farce.. The de fense, of the realm act is still in full operation, representing the cen sorship in its stiffest and crudest form which is bringing the danger ous irish temper to, a feverish height. 1 The civil authorities proclaim Tip perary under the crimes act, and the soldiers immediately; answer by making the country a special mili tary area under the defense of the realm act. Every meeting and fair is . suppressed, unless the royal Irish constabulary choose to grant approval. , : MacPherson May Resign. According to Irishmen in London, the situation is intolerable and can not continue much longer. Premier Lloyd George hurried to Downing street immediately upon arrival from a short week-end golf trip. The premier appeared greatly preoccu pied. He is reported to be giving first attention to the Irish question. He is believed to be much concerned over the talk of Ian MacPherson be ing about to resign as chief secre tary for Ireland "on account of ill health." Speculation concerning MacPherson 's successor ' centers on Cecil Harmsworth, a brother of Lord Northcliffe, and now parlia mentary under-secretary of state for the foreign office. Harmsworth told Universal Serv ice this afternoon: "I know noth ing about it." That is all he would say about the report, but it is known he is deeply interestd in a solution of the Irish problem, declaring it of the first importance for the continuance of friendly7 relations between Brit ain and the. United States. Harms worth has lived in Ireland for years and knows the country and its prob lems intimately. Thirty-three Papers Suppressed. The suppression of six newspapers at Dublin Saturday because they had printed a prospectus of the Sinn Fein loan brings, the total of sup pressed newspapers in Ireland since the rebellion of 1916 up to 33. Another journal, The Leader, was suppressed by the military yester day. The ban has been removed from the Cork Examiner. Considerable activity prevails .in Ulster in preparation of Sir Edward Carson s tour this week. Unionist clubs. have been revived throughout the province. Sir Edward will speak at Belfast, Omagh, Portadown and Londonderry. The Times warns the British government that the sup pression of the Sinn Fein press is a dangerous procedure. "In the emergency of war time," says the paper editorially, "the Brit ish people surrendered many ancient liberties-and not the least conces sion was the admission of the press censorship. , "Though the press accepted and loyallv obeyed the mandates of the censorship, its obligation was uni versally regarded as that of a very real, if necessary, evil. Censorship Dangerous. "We have seen with apprehension the recent suppression of a group of newspapers in Cork and Dublin. In matters of the censorship Ireland since 1916 has been subject to marked differentiation from Great Britain. ." '.. "The censorship was abolished only last month. Now it is appar ent that the Irish government in tends to enforce at its own discre tion and in a drastic measure the great statutory powers it possesses. "The right of interference is justi fiable only if the press is used as an instrument of crime. We con sider that the press has the inalien able right to report' faithfully the happening of , all events.., Eyery Irish editor should have been in full and fair possession of the govern ment's policy. Arbitrary selection of one paper or a group of papers to be made an example is a convenient and perhaps effective method of se curing the required standard of re ticence on the part,of the press, but it is monstrously unjust and would establish, not a reign of the law, but a system of bullying. ' , "If these conditions of action are disregarded there is danger not merely to the Irish press but to the whole fabric of justice for Ireland. Our anxiety in thjs matter is not lessened by the fact that there have been several instances of action by the Irish executive which even those who sympathize with the extreme difficulty of the task found hard to reconcile with the belief that an ordered statesmanlike policy has been pursued." .'.- Russian Crusaders Organize to Combat Spread of Bolshevism London, Oct. A religious order has been formed at Omsk, named after St. Hermegenes, ancient patri arch of Moscow,' who in troublous times in the past roused the people of Russia to fight the enemies of the country. ' ' The intended activities of the order are varied and include the formation of a . detachment of "Crusaders" to volunteer for service at the front. The troops are united by the idea that conflict with Bolshevism is the war 'of Christianity against hostile forces and the cross, worn by every Crusader, is symbolical of this idea. Cost Fair Speeder $1 For Slapping Policeman Dallas, Tex., Oct. 4. It just costs $1 to slap a cop in this-town. At least that is the rate for slapping charged to pretty young women. This week when a cop tried to arrest Miss Eva Garling because she was jogging along in her new road ster at a "50-mile clip," she left the print of her five dainty fingers on his ruddy complexion. She slapped him so hard that he toppled over and lost his cap in the rear of the car. But he recovered, got his motor cycle and chased her to her home. She was fined $1 on charges of speeding. Co-eds Rout Air Mice - With Tennis Rackets Greencastle, Ind Oct.4. Armed with tennis racquets, brooms and other weapons the 60 co-ed residents of Mansfield Hall, DePauw univers ity, waged war on mice of the winged variety. After an hour's battle, during which the girls wore towels about their heads to prevent the bats from lodging in their hair, the entire neighborhood had been aroused from its slumbers and 32 bats had been put to sleep for all the time. The night fliers gained entrance to the dormitory through an open window in an unoccupied room. Army Sergeant. Says Boxer Uprising Worse Than War ' . , ; t.;- Patrick D. Kelleher, in "Regulars" for 29 Years, Says Battles in France Did Not Compare With Condi tions in China During Trouble. Sergt. Patrick D. Kelleher, former Omaha man, and for 29 years a sergeant in the United States army, is visiting . relatives and friends in Omaha. Sergt. Charles Slack, the ever sunny custodian of the "Tem ple of Patriotism," the recruiting booth at Fifteenth and Farnam streets, has heard his storysjnd thinks it worth the telling. Incidentally, Sergeant Slack claims to have enlisted Sergeant Kelleher the first time. Sergeant Kelleher is mess ser geant of Company B, Fourth en gineers, at present located at Camp Dodge as a training unit. The unit served overseas for IS months with the Fourth division, and saw active fighting on four fronts. That the sergeant fed his men well and was well liked is evidenced by the fact that they presented him with a 21 jewel, gold watch and chain as a token of appreciation. Prior to serving in the European war, Sergeant Kelleher was engaged in the Philippine insurrection, the Boxer uprising in China, the Spanish-American war, and about every other scrap of any consequence which Uncle Sam has carried on for the last- quarter century. Ac cording to his account, the Boxer uprising with its battles, was far more serious, than the recent world war, in comparison to the number of men engaged. He says that in all the service he saw in France, Haunted by Victim, Girl Poisoner Admits Love Prompted Act Rotterdam, Oct. , 4. A terrible love tragedy has been enacted at Leipzig. . A, j The marriage has , just been I solemnized uniting ,'EIsa Fischback, a young and pretty typist, to a cabi netmaker named Hermann Klender. The newly married couple and 20 guests were assembled at the wed ding breakfast, at which a wedding cake sent to the bride through the post, and bearing a label inscribed with words "from an old admirer," was eaten. Shortly afterwards 14 of of the guests were taken seriously ill, and towards evening the bride and one of the members of the party died. The remaining portion of the cake was then subected to analysis and found to have been prepared with oil of bitter almonds.' ''' ' Five days later, Johanna Mohring, a 2S;year-old Jace maker ,who - had previously been betrothed to .Klen der, presented herself at" the police station and informed the inspector that she had, prepared the cake and sent to her successful rival out of revenge. The girl added that she had been haunted in her sleep by the dead woman and had suffered so intensely from nervousness that she had been able to eat virtually no food since the tragedy and had slept at night in the courtyard bf her house for ghostly visitations.
