WATSON TELLS ! EDITORS PLANS 1 FOR CAMPAIGN Outlines Issues for Talks in State Later: Denies Insincerety. Senator James E. Watson, with the indorsement of the Republican Editorial Association tucked away in 1 his pocket, took stock today of the Indiana political situation, altered by the entrance of Herbert C. '.Hoover in the presidential primaries. • “I’m coming back to make some speeches; I \ ant to talk to the •folks,” Watson told 600 guests at the editors' Golden Jubilee banquet .Friday night at the Columbia Club. Declares for Flood Relief “I want to run on a platform” he asserted, “declaring for the protective tariff, friendly international commercial relations without sacrificing our independence among nations, flood relief, St. Lawrence waterway and all other interests in which our people believe and have been denied.” . Watson replied vigorously to his political enemies who have charged his presidential campaign was an insincere attempt to control the In- - diana delegation to the national Republican convention. “I'm not a candidate for President in the interest of any other man but in my own interest alone.” Ire said. .“I am not seeking to control the delegation to turn it over to any other candidate. , , Vole Dp to Delegates “If the time comes in thus convention when in consultation with my delegates I conclude I cannot reach the acme of my ambition, the delegates will be released and may -go wherever they may be pleased to go.” Watson, the picture of health, eloquent and vigorous, rescued the •meeting from a bog of oratory. Will R. Wood, Tenth district Congressman, as principal speaker read a long address. Bitterly denouncing ;the primary law, Wood termed its evils and failures “the most important subject confronting the American people.” Dairymen Organize \l!if Tines Special MUNCIE, Ind..

Sunday School Lesson

The International Uniform Sunday School Lesson for March 11. Jesus Feeds the Multitudes. Mar 6: 31-44. BY WX. E. GILROY, D.D., Editor of The CongrezatlonaUst THE chief danger in studying a lesson like this is that our attention shall be too greatly fixed upon the marvel of feeding five thousands people with five loaves and two fishes. This, incidentally, was exactly the complaint that Jesus made, according to the record of Scripture, against the people of old. They were so obsessed with the material aspect of the miracle that they missed the lesson of Christ’s compassion and his wonderworking power. "Ye seek me.” he said, “not because ye saw the miracle, but because ye did eat of the loaves and were filled.” What a reproach that men in the presence of some real wonder should miss the greatness and beauty of the Master himself! Yet it is precisely the danger that confronts us as we read this narrative today. Its Significance So we must come from consideration of the miracle in its outward and material form to its symbolic significance in the world of spiritual truth and to what it emphasizes in relation to our Master and his mission upon earth. Here there facts are all clear and decisive. Back of such a miracle as this is the profound fact of the compassion of our Lord and of interest in the masses of the people as the deepest thing in his earthly life and in his revelation of grace. To Abraham Lincoln is ascribed the well-known saying, “The Lord must have loved the common people; he made so many of them.” And beside that fine saying of a

great democratic saint we must put the simple record of Scripture concerning Jesus, “The common people heard him gladly.” Why did the common people hear him gladly? Because they sensed his profound interest in them and his compassionate love. There is no more significant passage in the New Testament, of in all literature, than the record concerning Jesus. “But whe nhe saw the multitude he was moved with compassion on them because they fainted and were scattered abroad as sheep having no shepherd.” (Matthew 9: 26.) One of Life's Crosses I recently talked with a man who had suffered the crudest blow that it seems can copse to one, the loss of his only son just as the boy was facing the larger experiences of college and opportunities and responsibilities of life. Only one who has passed through the agony of such an experience can sense its meaning, and it is futile for one who has never thus suffered to hope to bring into such an experience the note of a clear hope and triumphant faith. In the presence of Christ who suffered, who gave his life in obedience to the Father's love that we may live, is there not some message for the sorely stricken human soul? The mysteries of life and death are not made plain to us; the veil is never entirely rent in twain; and yet in this larger mystery of the cross, of that strange law of life and blessing through suffering that runs through the whole tragic and glorious history of humanity, we do find the strength to see the lesser mysteries of our own experience in a new perspective and with a larger hope.

TAX BOARD MAY ALLOW BIDS ON FOUR SCHOOLS Will Review All Offers in Advance of Contracts; Orders Competition. The State tax board probably will issue tentative orders permitting advertising for bids for four new school buildings and additions, and then review bids, Indianapolis school offcials were informed Fri- ; day. Tentative plans for the new build- : ings have been explaineed to Philip Zoercher, tax board member, by Albert F. Walsman, school business director. The tax board recently refused to grant the proposed $600,000 bond issue for the four buildings until “honest” and competitive heating and ventilating specification's are provided. This demand was renewed by Zoercher Friday. Wants Competitive Bidding “There never will be any more school construction here unless there is open, competitive bidding on heating and ventilation.” he said. In reply to school officials’ statement that complete plans and specifications could not be shown the tax board until the bond issue is sold, because cost of architect’s fees are included in the issue, Zoercher today said; “If their architects won’t draw up plans and specifications on a tentative contract, such as is done in other cities, they would better hunt, another architect. Y,'e wont approve the bond issue until we see the plans and specifications.” Option on Site Walsman told Zoercher the school city now holds an option on anew site between Sixty-First and SixtySecond Sts. at Bellefontaine St. for the new School 80, one of the buildings included in the bond issue. Tire option calls for a price of $23,000. Other buildings included in the issue are additions to School 47, at 1240 W. Ray St.; SchooT 43. at 150 W. Fortieth St., and School 66, 604 E. Maple Rd. The proposed site of School 80 is west of the Monon Railroad tracks. Walsman said. The old school is east of the tracks, although 90 per cent of the pupils in the district live west of the railroad, he explained. HOLD SCHOEN RITES * Conduct Military Service for Slain Patrolman.

Gabrilowitsch and Thibaud to Be Heard at Murat Soon in Recital Under Direction of Ona B. Talbot

ONE of the outstanding musical events for March will be the co-artist recital of Ossip Gabrilowitsch, pianist, and Jacques Thibaud, violinist, on Sunday afternoon, March 25, at the Murat under the direction of the Ona B. Talbot Fine Arts Enterprises. For greater musical appreciation, this management is offering 500 seats, a special rate for this concert only to music lovers as well as students and teachers of piano and violin to hear two of the world’s most distinguished musicians. Ossip Gabrilowitsch is not only a pianist of the first rank, but he is conductor of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra as well, and has contributed a large share in the developing of musical culture in America during the past twenty-five years.

It is a characteristic of the American people to be satisfied with nothing less than the best, and in our quest for the best we are guided largely by that which is best advertised. How often, when conversation turns to things musical do we hear the question: “Who-is the greatest tenor, the greatest pianist, the greatest prima donna, or the greatest violinist?” And for answer we usually receive in reply the names of those among the great that most frequently appear in print. The most picturesque character, the artist who through a fortunate sequence of circumstances happens to appear prominently in the public eye—or the one having the cleverest publicity representative. If a connoisseur happens to be in the gathering, a person who has had the opportunity to acquire standards of discrimination, he would answer any one of the above questions with a list of names of those whom authoritative opinion has conceded to be foremost in their respective arts, admitting that the naming of any particular one as the greatest would be merely an admission of personal taste—for, as Ralph Waldo Emerson once observed; “Every great man is unique.” In the case of Jacques Thibaud, the French violinist who plays here on Sunday afternoon, March 25. it ; has been agreed among those whose opinions are respected that he is i certainly one worthy of being named among the truly greah—a great vioI linist with characteristics which distinguish him from his compeers. The remaining Sunday afternoon j concerts of the Ona B. Talbot Fine Arts Enterprises will present Ignace Jan Paderewski, pianist, April 1; | Jascha Heifetz, violinist, April 8. and Mme. Galli-Curci, soprano, April 29. | The last orchestra concert of the I sixth annual season will present the Cincinnati symphony Orchestra. Fritz Reiner conductor, with the Dayton Westminster Choir. John Finley Williamson conductor, on Monday evening. April 16. in a program of choral and orchestral i works. mum THE outstanding musical event in Cincinnati will be the four i concerts that are to be given by the Toronto Mendelssohn Choir and the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, with four famous concert soloists. ! in Music Hall, March 14. 15 and 16, j under the auspices of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra Association.

Frickcr is choral director, while Fritz Reiner will be the orchestral conductor. The soloists will be Ethyl Hayden, soprano; Viola Sylva, contralto; Tudor Davies, tenor, and Earle Spicer, baritone.

Only years of sympathetic understanding and an unwavering artistic ideal could bring the perfection of ensemble so noticeable in the playing of the Flonzaley Quartet. Three of the members: Messrs. Betti, Pochon and D’Archambeau have worked steadfastly together since the formation of the quartet, and as a result, together with the perfect ensemble work of Nicolas Moldavan, viola, one senses the submersion of all individual contribution into a practically perfect single instrument. Today, the Flonzaley Quartet has become the standard by which all other string quartets are judged, and its reward isin the international recognition of its supremacy. It is the only quartet ever engaged to play with orchestra, having appeared with the Philadelphia Orchestra under Leopold Stokowski, with the Chicago Orchestra under Frederick Stock, and with the Minneapolis Orchestra under Henri Verbrugghen.
