DOING IT BY DEGREES AT LAST Senater Crew has announced that he will net be u candidate or the senatorial nomination in the May primaries. Fer months h has been baying that he would be n candidate. The leaders whom he has- &ecn en his sW; bed in the Mercy Hospital In Pittsburgh liave said after the Interview that he Mould run In the prl mnrh'3 and some of them have bnid the.i weulil support him. They have uKe said that he had no Intention of resigning te per mit the Governer te appoint a man in his place who could uke but beat in YVabbjog YVabbjeg YVabbjog ten. It has at last been decided that it is futile te continue te pretend that he is well enough te justify nominating him for n full term in the Senate. Thin doubtless is be cause some understanding ha been reached With him us te a candidate te succeed him. If the Governer can be induced te ap point that candidate in the eient of the Tcclgnutien of Crew that resignation will doubtless be forthcoming. Hut until tome nderstandlng Is reached with the Governer CreSi' is likely te held en te hib teat. THE COAL CRISIS SINCE plans were first suggested for the coal strike scheduled te take place en the lnt of April, the miners have agitated persistently net only for the maintenance, of current wage scales, but for light ukm th coal industry. They arc tne ones who have asked for a Federal survc.ilng commission, for reorganisatien of the prtnt costly dis tributing system and for a course of action through which impartial Federal agencies could uequnint the consuming public with the actual truth relnthc te wages, costs. working conditions and tlie like. It is most unfortunate that the operators themselves buve tecld in many Instances te an opposite point of view. They have stated their case, but they have refused tee etten te debate It. It wns tlie mine owners, net the miners, who refused te honor President Hnrdlng's request for a genernl cenf-rene through whlrli u general coal strike might be uvcrted. Mr. Lewis, president of the miners' inter national federation, was net exaggerating when lie Informed the country that tlie coal atrike which be has called will be, If it is te go en, the most disastrous in the history of the country. And, bince in the past the miners' experts have been able te present reliable technical information rclnthe te production and distributing costs, tlie pre diction by union leaders of uu early shortage of Industrial fuel sounds ominous. Miners' representatives in New Yerk Insist that the non-union mines in Alabama nnd Kast Vir ginia have already allotted their prospective output te large Industries under allied con trol. If this ii true and the non-union fields arc pictty narrow The. utilities and Industries which use soft-coal fuel will be us badly hit as the small ea! users before the ttrlLe ends. The hardships of the strike would be extended far beyond the anthracite nnd bituminous fields te some millions of worker In ether industries. Meanwhile the Government at Washington Reems content with watchful waiting. Con Cen gross ! In no mood apparently te authorize u new Federal coal commission. Why, after all, should it de se? Mr. Hoever. Senater ' TMge, Senater ('alder and ethers have been looking Inte the coal question and recom mending Government action in the Interest of peace and scientific control. Senater Sen) en was chairman of a committee which toured thu soft -coal fields in West Virginia after the strike. He made complaints and recommendations In tlie Senate, and ac knowledged the need of better system of management und control. But the Senate listened te Hoever, Ktlge. Calder und Ken Ken yen and then promptly forget all that they bad te fray. g OPEN THE WINDOWS! AT THIS season of the jear the family ,wiur heelns te talk like a poet. "The winter is ever." he cries.

THE SENATE OONTEMPTIBLES WOULD BETflAV THE NATION This Is the Only Conclusion te Be Drawn Frem Their Scandalous Attempts te Wreck the Forur-Power Treaty "pESPATTEItlNG the geed name of the - United Htntcs watli ullmc is obviously un nppenllng conception lu the twisted mind of William Ji. Kernh. The Hcnnter from Idaho nnd his llatulcnt cohorts, struggling te wreck the Feur-Hnver Treaty, hnve long since Jettisoned anything suggestive of n cargo of ratleual arguments. If dragging the lroner of the Natien in the dust appears te nerve their purposes, it is plnln that this scandalous coterie of mar mar peots experiences no hisltnncy In adopting the maneuver. Ner ders the mere fact that their unclean munitions ere spurious eperntc ns a draw back. Though truth be mocked nnd decency shamed, let the tilth lly I Such is unmistakably tlie principle un derlying the Insensate conduct of the sena torial cenlcmptlbles. The scandal has reached a disgusting climax In Mr. IJerab'b chnrges that behind the four-Tower compact there lie the rudi ments of a secret alliance with Great Britain subversive of the principle of balanced nnd co-operative responsibility for which the cevenaut outwardly stands. Tlie alleged basis of this malign deduction is nn nnul.isis of the merits of the treaty made recently by Paul 1). Crnvath, n dis tinguished member of the yvw Yerk bar. Mr. Crnvnth was net ashamed te admit that "a basis of sympathy hat been rreatcd be tween Great Britain mid the United States." Accepting the bend lis a geed ilgu, he expressed hope for a mere durable structure of civilization. This view, expanded te some extent, was the tubstnnce of Mr. Cravath's reflection. "The statement," shrieks Berah, "con stitutes an alliance." If cuch sublimated twaddle were net potentially dangerous, it could be dismissed as mere frenzy. It must, of course, be dismissed as argument. Nev ertheless, lt capacity for wreaking harm abides. Mr. Hughes has recognized this deplorable fact In his brusque and explicit denial of Senater Berah's venomous attack and of the charge that the Americans In the Wash ington Conference v,evc Involved in covert International jugglery. The Secretary of State expresses "the hope that the American delegates will be saved further aspersions upon their veracity and honor." It Is sfnvcely te b expected that the ex ponents of blackguardism in the Semite will comprehend the closing phrase of the Sec retary of Slate. Berah and his purely partisan udjutant, Uoblnsen. of Arkansas, havp of late exhibited little regard for ve racity and still less for the honor of this Government. The Senate irreceneilables have forgotten patriotism, which the) spurned with equal vehemence In the League of Nations controversy. There is net the slightest mystery about the quadrilateral treuty. Its mcmlng and its high constructive purpose are explicit. Should it be shipwrecked, which fortunately does net seem likely, the entire disarmament program would collapse and the lending na tions of the world would revert te competi tive militaristic unregenerecy. L"very unprejudiced American knows this. But the vilification brigade feeds prejudice fat and seemingly takes delight la sheer maniacal malevolence. Undr the apparent Impression that he i n new Jehn the Baptist, Berah exhibits him self in the light of a political Billy Sunday. His aides. Including Mich choice specimens us Heed. I,n Follette, Shields, Jehnsen and Itobinsen, ure almost numerous enough te defeat the treaty. It is shocking te con sider the narrow margin of predicted falluie. It was Jehn Hay. after bitter experiences with tlie indispensable Haj -I'auncefete Treaty, who declared that at least .".4 per cent of the United States Senate ceuM al ways be counted ou te take the blackguardly side of any important question. History in the main will buppert this estimate. The ignoble Senate obstructionists, powerful under the two-thirds ratification rule, have long been a blight upon American states manship. The present exhibit I? in effect an at tempted betrayal of the spirit of the llc publie. The honest patriot cannot consider it without het blushes of shame. INVIGORATING THE THEATRE THFi latest movement en behalf of the in telligent development of the stage in Philadelphia is a successor of numerous abortive (ffert.s te raise the drama te the inspiriting plane .ecurly occupied b.v miH cul enterprise. The task, though difficult, is uet iiiMiperable. Deipite the skepticism of professional Jeremiah, nnd notwithstanding the produc tion f f much rubbish, there are m.irkcd signs of health and vitality In the contemporary American theatre. These are espcrlally no ne no tJcenhle In the progress of the repertory organizations, such, for iuitnnce. as the Theatre Guild of New Yerk, which discoun tenance long runs and fuver the production of worthy plays by well -trained actors net suffering from stellar vanities. It Is under stood that the Philadelphia undertaking luunchcd at u im cling In the Little Theatre last Suuda) is planned upon similar lines. There is hope for such an enterprise if its artistic Impetus, which should, of course, be keen, Is untainted with thu blight of the aggressively "highbrow," the "precious" or the veeendlte. The Community Theatre te use the vague but popular term should net be Icily aloof from thu Inteicst and en thusiasms of the average individual. This does net menu that critical values should be ignored or that the canons of geed taste and the tonic of Intellectual refreshment should be unrecognized. There is un ugreeuble middle ground be tween bedroom fun' and translations from the Sanskrit. With authoritative direction nnd necessarily with substantial monetary buppert this drumutlc attructhu soil can be cultivated. It is unquestionable thut Philadelphia is buflk'kntly metropolitan te deserve a thea tre operated ou ratieiiully invlgerutlng prin ciples. The present eminence and pros peril) of the Orchestra suggest what can be done with co-operation und practical en thuslusm. THE "MAINE" ELECTION TUB special election In the Third Con gressional District of Maine will give little encouragement te the Democrats who are looking for Indications, of discontent. They are making, much, however, cf the fact that the .majority of 10,200 by which, Jehn A. Peters was elected in 1020 has fallen te 5300 for Jehn K. Nelsen. But they knew that hopes for success In the Nn tlen based pn such evidence arc groundless. This was n special election, nnd the vete en such nn occasion is always smalt. It la an election In nn off year, nnd the vole th; Is much less than In n presidential year. In 1020, n preMdeuttat vcnr, when tlie women voted for the first time, 07,000 bal bal eots were ritst for candidates for Congress In the Third District. In 1018, when (he men alone voted, the total vote wns !1.",000. Tills was uu off year and the Republican candidate was elected y a majority of j"k!. lu 1010, another presidential year, the total vote was '1:1,000. mid the Repub lican candidate had only .'tOM majority. That the Republican majority in a special election lu nn off jear Is as large as the majority in n regular election between two presidential elections Is evidence enough that the Third Maine District has lest none of its confidence in the party. MR. MOORE PLAYS mOGENES WHBN in the course of the pilgrimage through this, se te speak, vnle of tenrn. a man finds himself in u state of mind that makes agreement cither with his friends or bis enemies utterly impossible; when he be comes n Minority of One facing from nn eminence of increasing lonesemencss n world that seems te be in a deadly conspiracy against him, he ought te take a vncatien. He ought te shut up biiep. lock the safe and go te Atlantic City or Pnlm Beach, or at least buy or borrow n saddle horse nnd disport himself under the sun for u while. Relief from routine and relaxation of nerves will be needed te bring him again into ra tional communion with his fellow men. Mayer Moere's friends ought te tell him all this. They ought te wrestle determinedly with his stubborn spirit. They ought te get him out of his deepening rut. Fer, as the rigid nnd solitary antagonist of almost every group with which he is associated in the administration of public affairs, tlie Ma.ver Is net new either a hupp) or n potent figure. His avowal of opposition te the Mitten plan of street-car management is in' one way astonishing. But it might have been expected. It is consistent with the mood that has been upon him for the best part of a jear. New. this city, and almost every ether American city, for that matter, has n great and increasing need of the bert of btubbern honesty that Is Mr. Moere's dominating characteristic. Diogenes was honest, tee. And the boy who steed upon the burning deck was consistent. Neither of them achieved anything mere than bitter nnd dis astrous isolation. Tlie Ma.ver lias been honest nnd con sistent. His errors and the) have been increasing of late are due for tlie most part te what you might call a radical Interpre tation of the technical rules of rlghteous rlghteeus nei. Briefly, the Ma.ver contends that Mr. Mitten's scheme of co-operative manage ment and ultimate profit-sharing Is wrong because In the P. R. T.'s agreement with the city It is provided that ihe city must get such trolley profits as arc left, nflcr the stockholders receive a 0 per cent dividend. It is conceivable that at some time in the far-distant future, after the dividends for almost twenty unsuccessful years were paid, something might be left for the Municipal Treasury. Certainly no one in authority ever hoped or believed until new thnt such a miracle could come te pass. And it surely could net come te pas if Mitten and his assistants were discredited and ousted te make room for the wreckers of the parasitical Union Traction Company. Yet the techni cality of nn almost cWd-lctter clause in tlie transit agreements is iufficient te blind the Mayer te the virtues of n system which in sures n constantly improving trolley service, a contented and efficient operating personnel and the first dividend In years te the people whose money about $.10,000,000 of it -s sunk in the operating company. Moreover, the thought of phantom municipal divi dends a tiling almost ns remote as the Antigenlsh ghost has led the Ma.ver te oppose a movement for the human ir.ntien of industrial organization which nlrendy is being pralbed almost everywhere by forward-minded men who have passed their lives in industrial management. Fer a dim and distant premise Mr. Moere would make n ruin of the happiest reality. That is being n stand-patter with a vengeance. The Mayer began his career nt City Hull under most unfavorable conditions. Ne one can accuse him of ever having served n doubtful cuue. He heems te have no ul ul lerler motives new. He is merely running true te form. But there is growing about him tee much of the suggestion of a con scious Diogenes, embittered nnd impotent in his tub. He is en the bridge with his arms dramatically folded ready te be burned with the ship. That will net get him anywhere. It will net get anybody anywhere. It will greatly help all his enemies. Fer it is already being whispered around that Mr. Moere spent tee much time in Congress, avvny from the business of life: that he was tee long out of touch with realities and tee deeply lmmerbcd in the theory of public ailnilnistintien te be able te practice it with success. Tills, of course, is net true. The Mayer has a geed mind and geed intentions. He needs a vacation. He seems te have lest himself utterly in bitter introspection. And it is significant te remember thnt he was driven into his present solitude by forces which he might have obliterated if, in the crucial days of his Administration, the days when lie was threatened by "four certain men." he had bad the courage te light them, ns lie was urged te de, without mercy in the open. All the chances favor u Action Needed coal strike April 1. Secretary Dav Is says the Government will net Intervene until it Is deiiienntiuud that miners and operators' cannot settle their differences. Since It is the general public thut ! going te suffer from the demonstint'eii, nnnet leek with equanimity en this postponement of nn in evitable task. There is a right und a wrong In the contrevei-y. An authoritative pro nouncement b) tlie Administration after a competent Investigation would crybtulllzc public sentiment and might cause one or the ether of the disputants te back down.

'si'fttX JST ( ' XVI k.K AS ONE WOMAN SEES IT ftetpect for the Law Semetlmss Jolted by the lad .Manner ef Seme of the Instruments of the Law, as Seme Instances Demonstrate : 4-- By SARAH D. JLOW1UE EARLY in the year I was told by one who nppcarcd te knew .that befere re signing his office ns Police Commissioner. Majer Wnrburten hnd painstakingly drilled the force In the proper mode of making nn nrrcst, Fome stress being laid en the military ennp 4ind click of the gestures, nnd even mere emphasis en the business-like cheer fulnrB of the tone nnd wording. 'Like nil teaching, some of it. I fancy, fell en geed ground, seme en hard ground nnd f.eme get lest before it reached the ground, with the result probably that no two arrests arc yet made alike, and no two policeman approach the suspect or the culprit with the same finish nnd dash nnd Hie wrenn cheerfulness thnt it was hoped they would model en the finish und tlnslt nnd serene cheerfulness, of their enc-tlme Commissioner. At least, from an experience of borne friends of mine who were arrested for (.needing the oilier day I should judge that tlie improvement had ns yet only reached a fifty-fifty point. THE euspect was a doctor who gives nbeut ( half of every day te the Philadelphia General Hospital clinics, nnd se can be sold te be In the city's employ, while net en the city's payroll. He was hurrying from his own patients te rendi his clinic nt Bleckley, and finding a long, empty street, speeded up. Quickly In his rear there was n whistle from n motorcycle officer, te which he paid no at tention nt first, feeling Innocent and being intent ou his driving. Presently the officer ranged up beside him nnd stgnnted him te step. Being lu the middle of the block nnd ''going some," lie stepped by n bard appli cation of the' brakes within thirty feet of the signal. The policeman, n short -necked. "Mlttel Europa," surly looking person, shouted nt him words of disapproval, and en coming abreast of the car demanded his reason for driving at that speed, his name, his license and his occupation. The man's manner was offensive, his tone was provocative and 1i!b assumption that the doctor's having left his license nt home was n sign he was lying from Btart te finish made the whole en counter suddenly ugly and menacing. He put the suspect under nrrcst aud whistled for another officer. The appearance of this second arm of the law proved, however, n sudden move in the direction of peace. He w-as it Scotchman and was humorous nnd the reverse of arrogant. At the station house there was delay and much formal questioning, but that, tee, was business-like and npait from n certain readi ness for truculency should tlie prisoner show signs of impatience ever the Irrelevance of the munv questions put te him. Apart from that and the taking uvvnj of his car without being nt the trouble of verifying bis license number, there was little te complain of, and in the end some laughter. At the office of the magistrate the surly policeman preferred a surprising tiring of charges, w hicli he read from n notebook ; among them was one that he had been threatened with u welcome te the hetpitnl should he ever find himself there and lu the doctor's ward. The magistrate saw the liumer of that last himself, if the policeman did net. aud after mere questioning, mere witnessing and counter-questioning the matter was ud justed, the cur restored nnd the owner bet free. The whole delay was perhaps nn hour und n half; und there wus. thanks te the self-control of the doctor nnd the readiness te bee fair play en the part of most of the ethers Involved, u geed ending te a very bad beginning. I THINK that very often there is a bnd beginning te nn nrrcst. And by bad 1 mean peer technique in the manner of the officer. Fer instance, three boys, who were cer tainly net drunk or disorderly, und yet who jostled three men who turned out te be plain -clothes men, were arrested with peer technique net long since, eue being se bmllv clubbed that bis life was in danger, nnd another se handcuffed that his wrist was cut te the bone. The men who made the arrest showed an ugly und revengeful bplriti they beat the beyn up, und their very manner et showing authority ttruck n hateful note at eucc. I REMEMBER my surprise and outrage once In n courtroom, where I had gene te listen te some testimony about a case in which I was interested. At mid-day recess I rose from my seat us tlie Judges rose from their bench und was immediately thrust down with a rough whack by some official of the court with n "What de you mean? Order there until the Judges aru out of the court!" Something big nnd nngry and outraged surged up Inside of me ut that rough touch en my bheulder. and for n second I could have fought buck, court or no court. The punishment of the law j one tiling, but the personal affront of the mere instru ment of the law is quite nnetlier thing. And bince then I have never passed u police man without wondering what sort of a temper he had. whether he knew "hew te be nngry und sin net." or whether his very touch en a man's shoulder would reuse iilm te a sense of injustice und unfairness and outrage. I KNOW there arc very brave men and pa tieut men and geed men en the police force gentlemen in a real sense; but I nse ebbcrvc that there niu "roughnecks" und arrogant blusterers who bawl out their or ders and arc quia te give offense and per sonally te resent offense. It iH such men as tbese that drug down the whole personnel and give the body n h.s honorable position in the community than it ought te pes-ev Very likely cveu tlie "roughnecks" are a geed sort under their bad manners, but bad manners me all that most persons i.uevv of n man. And they nre a handicap thut should net be tolerated lu men serving the publ'c and paid by the public te serve it.
