Decide In Appointing a Successor to Controller Walton "VTKXT to the Maor. the controller holds the most important office in the cit government. Technically, the controller is n county officer. He is mode so by the state constitution. It is because he Is n county officer that the Governor has power to appoint a con troller to fill the vacancy caused by the ; death of Captain Walton until n sue- i icessor can be elected in No ember. ' This point was settled n generation ago when Robert K I'attison was elected Governor. He was city controller at the time and he did not resign until i he was about to take the oath of office as Governor. The city solicitor of that! day wrote an opinion thnt the vacancy caused by the promotion of Pattison should be filled by the Councils. Tat , tison. however, insisted on his right to appoint his own successor, and the courts sustained him. There has been no dispute of it since.

VANDERLIP AND THE SENATE IT IS debatable. If we sometimes do not exaggerate our shortage of "big" men. Herbert Hoover, whatever his chnnccs, lends interest nnd stimulus to the presidential campaign. In Xcw York state discussion on nominees for the United States senatorship is in order. Mr. "Wadsworth's fitness for representing so great a commonwealth has been criticized. Stand-patters in 'political thought have fi owned upon the 'search for candidates commensurate with the dignity and importance of the state, The ground has been called sterile. And ct Frank II Vnndcrlip is now seriously mcntloucd as a possible nom inee. The times nrc not irretrievably black when such men as he arc consul ering the propriety of entering politics. Mr. Vnnderlln'a onulmnonr is of n very high order. He is at once a finan- tier and n profound economist a bril- liant organizer of unquestioned integ rity and sound, comprehensive vision. His little book, "What Happened to Europe." published last jenr in this newspaper, is packed more vloselv with illuminating facts and lucid interpreta tions than many n shelf full of volumes on the war's uncertain aftermath. He would be an ornament to the Sen j ate, justifying its pretensions as a body 0f "elder statesmen" In the most re- Injuring sense of that terra. One or two ' Vanderlips in Congress might indeed have saved us from the treaty di'groce. rrMtAATlAm r-rr tttrnoTn ' CLJIJI.M I IU1U r-UK UUIJIJ.

It has not liked bolshcvism in Ilussla It hns blockaded bolshcvism. trying to starve bolshcvism out, nt the same lime saying to itself qullo solemnly, "It is starvation that breeds bolshcv ism." It has made wnr upon bolshcvism. nt the same time protesting, through Mr. Lloyd George nnd Mr. Wilson, thnt au idea could not be put down by force. It has deluded itself with the cheer ful falsehoods about bolshcvism with Kolchak victories, with stories of the extreme lengths to which communism had gone nnd stories of how commu nism hn's fnlled and society in Ilussin differed little from society in bourgeois states, without ever stopping to remark their contradictory character. it has done everything except be sensible, and this 1h n time ubovc all when being sensible is highly necessary. q i i OKGANIiED sooiety Is in tho trenches today nnd it needs it little of the philosophy of the trenches. No army could face nn enemy in the mood In which the existing order meets the pretender, calling the future order. The soldiers' philosophy is "what will be will be."

NOW no one can say with justice that "II Trovatorc" Is not n irrent .... It has some very evident weaknesses, but it has kept the boards successful!. for more than slxty-sovon years in the face of the most violent criticisms ever hurled nt n work of Its kind. What is morc, it will doubtless be there for good many more years, as its fund of melody overbalances nil other consid erations with nn audience, even n thor oughly musical one, including the fact mm ii nas prooooiy tne most absurd plot ever set to serious operatic muBlc. One can snv the same thine- nhn... it.. libretto ot "Lo Forza del Destlno," but it cannot truthfully be said that the music is much more than medlocra throughout most of the opera. It Is by no means Verdi at his best, and when it waa rovivea last year, otter a long and well-deserved oblivion, no one thought that it would last mora than nn n.n But here rve are to have it again neit fii ABilntt Therefore the "kick" of certain Phil adclphia opern-gocrs is not against the operas themselves as musicaworks, but because they arc produced every year in nn increasing number nf norfn'-n. nnccs before audiences who nrc thor oughly familiar with every note of them sometimes to the exclusion of composi nous wmi-.. we siioum De given'a chance to see nnd hear. PHILADELPHIA is asking nothing unreasonable in wnntine these more unusual operas presented here at least once every three seasons, for they arc in the permanent repertoire of the Metro politan Opera Co. nnd arc given several times in "the course of each New Yorl season. It is not as if the request made necessary the learning of the parts by new singers or the setting up of scenery ot already in the possession of the com pany. Nor Is there any protest against the overwhelming number of Italian, operas presented here, especially those of Verdi and Puccini, ns compared with the number given in other languages. What Philadclphians would like is to have some of the udmittcdly fine but more rarely heard operas sung in plate of one or two of those which have been seen every season for many years, of which "II Trovalore", Ih probably the most conspicuous example. Incidentally, thcie was one important omission nncnt the little statements ot Sir. Gnttl regarding "Trovatorc" and "La Forza del Destlno," and that was that lie did not make any about the production ot "Tlie Rarbcr of Seville " This opera is older than cither of the others, but both of his assertions about them arc eminently truo of it, however one may disagree with the great im presario regarding the Verdi operas 'I'he "Barber" is the one Italian open which can be sccu every season with plcasuic, und moreover, Sir. Gatti lia in Slessrs. Slalatestu and Sfardonos a pair of singers nnd actors for their re spective ports which probably no other company has ever had since the opera wns composed. It would be interesting to see Sir. Cnruso in this cast as the Count, because he is not only the groat est tenor now singing, but hc is also the finest comedian ninoug tenors, a rare combination, ns the upper male voice h iuclined to lake itself rather scriounly as a rule. HOWEVER, Sir. Gatti has one un answerable argument to any sug gestions for n change iu the tepertoire. Hc needs simply to point to the size of the crowds that go to hear the worn which he presents, nnd in fact he said .something to this effect nt the close oi last scuson when the unnual ' howl wns beginning to gather power. But he does not consider two thing, apparently. One of these is that his "overflow" audience is mado up largely ot Philadelphia Itulians, who will go to hear any work In their own language and will not nttend any opera not pre sented in that tongue; nnd the other I that those who want to hear opera liaye only sixteen opportunities to do so in the course of u scuhon, and they muii go lo hear what is presented or not near nnv. There is no choice, as there w the very much longer New lork season, for tho opera lover to select what m wants to hear. If there were, the b w and complexion of mony of the operatic audiences would bo radically changed. It is to bo hoped that next season, if not ut the close ot this one, we may Have some of the really standard novel tics and do for a single season without some of the vetornus.
