H STUMP IN CAMPAIGN
Declares He Will Fight for
Clean Government In Phila

i
APPEARANCE A SURPRISE
Arrives Unexpectedly at Two Frank
lin Party Meetings in West
Philadelphia
Mayor Blankenburg iprans another
surprise, on the voters lost night when
ho appeared unannounced at tho Frank
lin party meetings held in West Phlla
delphla. In two flery addresses at B3d
street and Havcrford avenue and at 61st
street and Baltimore avenue, the Mayor
challenged the Organization to get him
off the stump, and declared that he will
remain in tho flght for (rood government
as long as there Is life In his body.
The. Mayor answered the charge made
by Thomas D. Smith, Organization can
didate for Mayor, that the Blankenburg
administration was "miserable" by point
ing; out the improvements, such as port
development, abolition of grade crossings
nd high-speed transit lines, which were
started during his regime.
"We -did more in four years than they
were able to do In 20 years," said the
Mayort
The Mayor again made a strong plea
for Independent support for Judge Morris
Dallett for re-election as Judge of the
Orphans' Court, and accused "Dave"
Lane of plotting for ten years to oust
Judge Dallett.
"For 10 years," he said, "Dave Lane
has been sharpening his knife for Judge
Dallett Lane's spleen was aroused when
Judge1 Dallett discharged a tipstaff who
had been appointed because of his In
fluence. It strikes me that such hatred,
such despicable tactics is carrying poli
tics a little bit too far.
"Dave Lane Is overstepping himself
when he drags gang politics Into the ju
dicial arm of the government. Dave Lane
expects he will be able to replace Judge
Dallett with McCurdy, who voted for tho
gas steal of 1305. You decent citizens
must repudiate such tactics at the polls
by re-electing Judge Dallett."
Oeorffe D. Porter, Independent candi
date for Mayor, appeared on the stump
with the Mayor, and later spoke at meet
ings at 63SI Woodland avenue and at
Hallahan Hall, 4028 Lancaster avenue.
At all of the meetings mention of the
name of D. Clarence Glbboney brought
forth hoots and Jeers from the crowds.
Mr. Porter declared that Smith appears
to be persistent In refusing to answer
his questions, preferring to do his talk
ing through "Dave" Lane, John P. Con
nelly and Olbboney.

FARRAR'S LIFE STORY
ANTICIPATED BY NOVEL
OF SINGER'S CAREER
"The Song of the Lark" Tolls a
Strong and Moving Story of
the Path to Fame in
the Musical World
OTHER NEW FICTION
Books by tho Greater and Lesser
Lights of tho Literary
World
Miss Farrar really need not bother
about her autobiography. We have It.
Wllla Slbert Cather has vitalized the
career of an American singer who mounts
the climax of operatic success to the
capital rung, whero she can cast a ret
rospective eye over the prospective art
worshipping public at her feet, crlt'cs
crushed, roles of high tragedy created,
familiar roles so greatly Interpreted as
to becomo classics for comparison, and
suppressing It all. The glamourous at
mosphere of romance. And then this, by
the way. Is only a pnrt, a hint, of what
is in "The Song of the Lark" (Hough
ton Mifflin Company, Boston) as her eye
follows the trail to the setting sun she
can see the wide-stretching prairies, bor
der towns with their picturesquely
squalid Mexican quarters, homes of the
cliff dwellers, melancholy reminiscence of
n life that was and memento more of
the fugacity of the life that Is; student
sometimes In Chicago, with Its hothouse
culture of the studios, Its conservatory
Intrigues and scandals, its metropolitan
callousness and opportunity, too, open to
aspiration only when backed by deter
mination and Industry. Oh, the tragedy
and the toll that leads to prima donna
doml Theo Kronberg knew each Irk of
the routine, each cark of the life by the
time her glorious period entered Its flrst
phase with triumph In New York. Then
come Europe, Wagner, fame and Isola
tion, And memories, memories, always
memories.
Miss Cather has surveyed It accurately,
this route to operatic glory traversed by
American girls who sing; has marked tho
turns, the ruts, the rocks that lead to
the heights She has brilliantly Indicated
the stages of the Journey taken by Amer
ican girls town prodigy, choir singer,
music teacher, light opera or concert,
prima donna laurels, maybe. Nordlca,
Homer, Eames, Nielsen, do Irevllle, Norla,
Caroline White, Mademoiselle Cahlcr,
Felice Lyne, Marcla von Dresser, Farrar
here are a few names of those who
have tolled along the way trod by Then
Kronberg. Miss Cather has written their
autobiographies for them In reallstlo way.
She has added the glamour of romance
only for technical purpose of the novel.
Quite converse is the musical story set
forth In Ella W. Peattle's "Lotta Em
bury's Career" (Houghton Mifflin Com
pany, Boston). Lotta's gift was "vlolln
Istlc," not vocal. She, too, left home to
becomo a great musician, but music
proved to be her avocation after nil and
the home her true sphere. She did not
lose the rosy checks of the country girl
In her experience in conservatories in the
great city, but fortunately for her she
did lose something that too many Amer
ican girls of her aspirations never lose
by experience belief In the genius of
what Is merely a talent, more often, In
deed, only a knack. So she came back,
her love of her art undlmmed, but her
belief In her career sensibly reconstruct
ed to help her father, In 111 health, run
his business. Sometimes as she worked
In the store maybe old wistful moods
overtook her, drcama of unthralled audi
ences as she played the Tschaikowsky
concerto, but she kept at her prosaic
work, finding her poetry In the great
content of making others happy. A
sweet, somewhat moralising story,
pleasantly told, with touches of pathos,
humor and tenderness.
s
Conceive of a cross between Oscar
Wilde and Sherlock Holmes and you will
create a figure retembllng tno detective
In Frank Danby'a "The Story Behind the
Verdict" (Dodd, Mead & Co., New York).
He Is purely an amateur who finds In
crime detection pew sensations for a
Jaded mind. An esthete above all, he Is a
dilettante at art, a "dabbler at poetry, a
student of science, an "arrived" writer,
an epigrammatist. Such a Crlchton of
a chap! But It truly Is wonderful, his
fascinating solutions of the murder by a
cat, the taking oft of a popular actor on
the eve of a "first night," and other in
genious exploits. Readers of detective
llteraturo have something new and good
in Mrs. Frankau's book.
Any well-regulated detective yarn, spun
according to accepted ideas, must neces
sarily lead the reader far astray before
putting him upon the road that leads to
a. solution of the mystery. He must be
made to suspect at least four or five very
Innocent persons of perpetrating the
crime narrated in the first chapter. That
U to be expected. But when an author
points the finger of suspicion to a dozen
or more he lays himself liable to the
charge of overdoing It. Thomas W.
Hanshew, whose "Cleek" detective stories
have gained a considerable measure of
popularity, has certainly overdone It In
"The Illddle of the Night" (Doubleday,
Page & Co., New York). Not only does
he have too many suspected murderers,
but so many loose ends are offered the
reader for unraveling that the literary
fabric altogether lacks substantiality.
As detective stories go, "Tho Riddle of
tho Night" Is not bad: It would be much
better if the author had had more re
gard for simplicity of plot.

From "Dreams and Dust": Harper A Drop.
"Up the Road With Sallle" (D. Apple
ton ft Co., New York), a trivial but high
ly entertaining hit of fiction, by Francis
R, Sterrett. Sallle Waters, the heroine,
seems almost tike an original creation,
though no doubt close analysis would tend
to refute any such contention. But that
she Is thoroughly llknblc nnd her mad
cap exploits are thoroughly readable few
who read the story will bo likely to dis
pute. Wo have had female Unfiles and fem
inine counterparts of Sherlock Holmes.
Now comes tho lady Harry Lorrcquer or
Barry Lyndon. The Williamsons have
told her sprightly and sensational adven
tures In a very modern picturesque ro
mance, "Secret History lievenlcd by Lady
l'cggy O'Mnlley" (Doubleday, Page &
Co., Garden City, L. 1 ). Like her
prototypes of Thackeray nnd Lever In the
field of diplomatic Intrigue she Is Irish
gifted with the Celtic yearning for daring
emprlte, resourcefulness In emergency,
"girt of the gnb" that Is suave and dis
arming with Its blarney touch with the
Milesian sense of humor, too. The story
of International affairs In which she Is
involved is the nnrratlve of the duplicity
of her elder sister, an Irish beauty. State
secrets of tho United States give Ameri
can currency to the tale, a rollicking,
rattling one, and withal, not improbable;
It's at least as plausible as those of E.
Phillips Oppenhetm.
Mr. Oppenhelm has deviated from fic
tional exposures of the Kalserly system
of espionage, from thoso fascinatingly
dashing secret agents, thoso lofty person
ages who dominated chancelleries nnd
those heroines who knew Intimately tho
pros and cons of international policy. In
his contribution to the fall novels, "The
Way of These Women" (Little, Brown &
Co., Boston). Mystery, not diplomacy, Is
his leading motive, nnd tho ono he has
evolved Is apparently Impenetrable. A
man and woman love ono another to the
point of sacrificing everything each for
the other A murder Is committed. Each
thinks the other deeply Involved and tries
to afford protection by every means. Tho
Illusion of guilt Is strengthened by curi
ous complications of attendant circum
stances. It Is fostered by tho machina
tions of "the other woman," who loves
the man. Hardened gucssers among
habitual novel readers will have u time
of It anticipating the clever moves con
trived by Mr. Oppenhelm to keep his mys
tery alive to the finis. In consequence
there are surprises on every page.

One of the most winsome of our contemporary essayists writes:
"Social talent is a true and rare thing; the essence of it is a rev

that other people are remarkable."
Mr. Putnam might well have been the instance of Mr. Chapman's
generalization. For it is only the possessor of that golden gift, the
social talent, which could have made possible two such volumes as
"Memories of My Youth" and "Memories of a Publisher."

The author records what lie can remember of the people with whom
he has had personal relations on both sides of the Atlantic during the
fifty years since 1865, and he gives also his own views in regard to
