PAGE FOUR T IE MICHIGAN DAILY TUESDAY, NOV. 9, 193 II TUESDAY, NOV. 9, 1937 THE MICHIGAN DAILY ii rI months seems to be the defeat of certain objec- tives of the people? Does freedom of the press mean the freedom for Hearst and his string of papers to pull the wool over the people's eyes, to confuse all significant, issues beyond recognition? When the publishers' association blocks the legal rights of the American Newspaper Guild to organize for better working conditions and fairer pay scales, are they really upholding the freedom of the press as they claim? Is freedom of the press a sacred cow that self- interested men trot out wpenever their bank bal- ances take a dip? If it is possible for a soul to stir uneasily in its grave we can visualize Elijah Lovejoy curling up in rage at the modern publishers' definition of freedom of the press. Tuure Tenander.

T E DAILY TODAY prints a question- naire which will be used by the Ann Arbor Junior Chamber of Commerce in deter- mining its three-year projects. We, with the Junior Chamber of Commei-ce, urge students to fill out the questionnaire conscientiously, and then to mail it to the organization's headquarters. Instructions will be found with the questionnaire on Page 6. The Daily wishes to direct the attention of stu- dents to projects 2, 7, 21, 24 and 27. All but one of these would bring better relations between the town and University students. The other, con- struction of a modern hotel, would provide Ann Arbor with a facility it criminally lacks. The student body should accept the Cham- ber of Commerce's invitation to join in deciding its three-year projects as an effort to include the students as part of the town. Now it is up to the student body to show its willingness to cooperate. Joseph S. Mattes. Elijah Parish Peabody, .100Years Ago. HE WAS KILLED at the age of 34 by 11 a mob on Nov. 7, 1837, while defend- ing his newspaper press ..." "Lovejoy was pastor of the church at the time he was killed." He was Elijah Parish Lovejoy, the incorruptible editor of The Alton (Ill.) Observer, pastor in the Presbyterian Church, heroic cfender of freedom of the press, that much maligned and subtly perverted catch-phrase. The story of Lovejoy's editorial courage, wag- ing relentless battle against slavery, upholding the right to say in writing what he thought, is an engrossing one of indomitable devotion to prin- ciple. It is the story of that spirit which can- not be dissuaded from its faith. It is an old story-of Christ, of Copernicus, of Galileo, of Columbus, of Voltaire. and of Lincoln. A mob wrecked his St. Louis Observer plant because he condemned slavery. What equip- ment was left was shipped 25 miles up the Mississippi to Alton. The night it arrived an- other mob threw it into the river. But they could not drown Lovejoy's determination to fight. At a meeting of friends who raised funds for a new press the youthful crusader said, "As long as I am an American I shall hold myself at liberty to speak, to write and to publish whatever I please on any subject, being amenable to the laws of my country for the same." To prove his sincerity he wrote and published what he pleased against the infamous American institution of slavery, despite the destruction of three presses. The fourth press was stored in a warehouse in Alton, under guard. The building MUSIC Choral Union Concert By WILLIAM J. LICHTENWANGER CLEVELAND SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA Artur Rodzinski, Conductor Prelude to "Die Meistersinger"-Wagner. Once upon a time it was the Tannhauser Overture which was the first idol of a Wagner-worshiping public. Seasons opened and closed to the strains of The Pilgrims' Chorus, and the Overture's pres- ence was a guarantee of success to any program. When Theodore Thomas, half a century ago, was blazing new orchestral trails through the hearts of the unlearned and none-too-eager American public, it was to the Tannhauser Overture, to- gether with Beethoven's C Minor Symphony, that he led his public out of the mire of salon pieces and other musical clap-trap of the day. But time and musical taste march on. Today, by virtue of countless playings and misplayings, and the modern tendency away from music of the early romantic period, the Tannhauser Over- ture has come to be called "hackneyed" and to be relegated to the same "pop" category as the 1812 Overture of Tschaikowsky-to which it is intrinsically far superior. In its place on the top rung of the Wagnerian ladder, as far as concert pieces go, the present season seems to be placing the less impetuous but even more majestic Pre- lude to Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg. With hardly a month of the new season gone, the Prelude has already been played by some ten of the leading orchestras in this country, doubtless with duplications on the part of the smaller or- chestras. And, although we hope that it will be saved the fate of the Tannhauser Overture, we must - admit that no piece of music deserves a sincere popularity any more than this Prelude, with its rema able union of technical complexities with melodiousness and the fluent representation of the essential factors in the music drama which it precedes: the pomp and pedantry of the good bourgeois mastersingers, their banner waving proudly in the breeze, the love of Eva and Wal- ther, Beckmesser's jealous spite, .and the final triumph of love and righteousness. A Work Of Mozart Symphony in G Minor (K.V 550)-Mozart. The three last and greatest symponies of Mo- zart, in E flat, G minor, and C major, were all completed in the summer of 1788 within the space of two months. Chronologically, the G minor is the second of the trio, but as a bridge to Beethoven and the nineteenth century the G minor is materially more advanced than the C major "Jupiter" which was the last to be composed. Today, our senses dulled by the lush sweet- ness of the romantic period and the bludgeon- ings of modern music, we are apt to be con- scious only of the exquisite architectonic beauty of Mozart's music and to deem it shallow in emotional expressiveness. But because it lacks the force and directness of expression which we have come to associate with emotion in music is no reason for denying to the G minor an inner beauty and significance as well as an external. What seems to us a mere delicious lyricism or piquancy of mood may have been to Mozart a passionate utterance, as far as passion was compatible with his mu- sical philosophy, of longing or despair. Brahms' No. 1 In C Minor Symphony No. 1 in C minor-Brahms. In this. the first symphonic work of Brahms, written al- most a hundred years after the G minor of Mozart, can be seen in effect the musical prog- ress of a century which saw perhaps more change in the texture and aesthetic of music than any other in history. In Mozart's time such emo- tional expression as there was in music was con- fined within the rigid formal bonds of the day. But by the time Brahms, in 1876, had completed his First Symphony, Beethoven and his followers had burst those bonds and expression in music- emotional,. descriptive, fantastic-was the order of the day. But Brahms, though he profited from this for- mal freedom and made contributions to it on his own part, did not rush to the structural looseness and vehemence of expression to which Liszt and his Weimar coterie were carried. Build- ing slowly but solidly on the classic principles of Beethoven and his predecessors, Brahms de- veloped to the utmost his mastery of technique by writing for many years exclusively in the lesser forms before tackling that giant, the sym- phony. Disregarding the two serenades for orchestra and the Variations on a Theme by Haydn, the C Minor Symphony was Brahms' first orchestral work, finished when he was forty-three. And Iifeenis lo e H-eywood Broun At the moment of writing it seems as if Charlie is going to get his chance to show Wallie and Dave around the country. Remember, in ad- dressing the Duke and Duchess of Windsor that it is "Your Royal Highness" the first time and after that "Sir" will do for him and that the lady is to be "Ma'am." Quick-witted Americans who dislike the formal greet- ing established for the Duke of.Windsor can adopt the easier form simply by saying, "Here I am again. Sir." The rebuke administered by the Baltimore meeting of the American Federation of Labor has been most salu- tary. It was just, and it serves to clear the air. Ar ready "well-informed" sources say that the Duke and Duchess will incline more to the social side and curtail the projected survey of housing and labor conditions. That's a good idea. If the Duchess wishes to go back to Baltimore and show her boy friend to the dowagers who knew her when, I can see no earthly reason for objection. That is only human. And, again, I think that Americans ought to welcome Windsor to the mutuel win- dows, if he chooses to study housing at Hialeah or at Santa Anita. After all, racing is the sport of kings, and even an ex-king has a right to take a flier on a twenty to one shot. Passing By On The Other Side But I think that trade unionists and other pro- gressive groups will make a mistake if they stage any hostile demonstrations against the Duke. Such action wo ld give a political importance to the visit which it does not merit. After all, you can get a call on functioning kings for a low figure, and ex-kings are deservedly a dime a dozen. Hitler's game was to build Windsor up as a po- tential world ambassador for Fascism. In all fairness to the young man he may have been just as ignorant of what was going on as he is about labor or housing. A few pleasant words to the miners of Wales is hardly a labor record. As a visiting and amiable Englishman his week- ends are no concern of liberals one way or an- other. Shrewd and powerful forces seem to be planning to use the Duke for their purposes, but his potentialities as a menace can be reduced if he is ignored by anti-Fascist groups as not worth the bother of a demonstration. I think Mrs: Roosevelt has set an excellent example, and when the Duke comes with his German sample case why can't everybody be off on a lecture tour? Strictly The Social Side The national attitude should be polite but distant, and if David Windsor tries to pat any American miners on the head I suggest that they pat him back in friendly condescension. It is difficult to tell just how far the British Cabinet is backing the expedition. It is possible that Chamberlain and the rest do not approve, and yet there is a distinct coincidence in the fact that Windsor comes to us at the very mo- ment that Anthony Eden is going to the rightj as fast as his hands and knees will carry him. Already he has indicated a willingness to sell out to Mussolini and Hitler by making contact with Charlie McCarthy Franco. And it may be that the Duke also moves his lips to let the voice of others be heard. Even so, the brunt of protest should not be visited upon him. I trust that American liberal leaders will not be foolish enough to hew to the line and let the sawdust fly. Rather they should say both "Sir" and "Your Royal Highness," and add the pious hope upon the clubhouse lawn, "I hope, Sir, that you and your lady have picked yourself a winner for the next race," Oin The Level By WRAG Translated from the original Indian word, Chicago means "wild onion," and for the first 56 minutes of the game Saturday the boys from Chicago threatened to leave a very bad taste in Michigan's mouth. But then Ritchie and the boys proceeded to make hamburger of the dhicago line, the "onion" was used for seasoning, and the resultant meal was one of the finest the team has concocted this year. If the Michigan team had led all the way and won by the same score, the stands would have been dissatisfied at beating Chicago by only one point, but the Michigan players are good showmen and now the team is looked on almost as a miracle team. Before the game, Chicago was looked on as the only "breather" in the Michigan schedule this year, but for those 56 minutes it appeared as though the home team had a bad attack of asthma. * *n * * It is odd what four minutes can do to change o_~ . v e WVC %,&emaas WW AaA&I e ;W i'Mi iOuMe To the Editor: wiMa 330; 11:00 a.m enatur a .- - BeforeTuesday's Choral Union concert takes place, I want to get (Continued from Page 2) son of the College of Engineering will something off my chest.

Conservative England went completely batty over a recent Cab Calloway CBS airing across thle Atlantic. The work of Choo Berry on tenor sax may be the answer as another great, Coleman Hawkins, was center-spotted over there for months.

Lombardo can plug the worst tunes ever written and they become the na- tion's favorites-Carmen writes them and brother Guy sees to it that Joe Public hears them and because Lom- bardo airs the stuff, J.P. says that, they must be good.
