EXPOSITION PREPAREDNESS
OFFICIAL recognition .f the Philadel

vania Geucral Assembly is one of those
technicalities, the importance of which is
often unrealized until an inconvenient crisis
arises.
Mnjor Moore evidcnt! appreciated this
fact, for he dispatched his i-ecretarj to
Ilarrlsburg in Paul He-iore htle in the last
hours of the dramatic .i-nsiun The Gov

closed the approval of the coramonw ealth of
"Pennsylvania was gion to the projc t and
the Semite and House had passed resolu

Vexatious indeed would have been the
two years' delay resulting from neglect of
this neeessarj duty As it !, the world s
fair program that U to ignali7e the l.'Otli

tlioritatlve basis
It In bv n.i means too larly for Congress
to grasp this fact and to ufce appropriate
action. The ye-irs is a lomparativelv short
period of preparation. In this connection it
is worth remernbermtt that the ou loud
tipon the Chicago Columbian fair was the
fact that it opened an entire year behind

WHAT WAR REPARATIONS CAN
REPAY DEVASTATED AMERICA?
The Damage to This Nation's Morale
Was Enormous and It Has Not
Yet Been Fully Reckoned
"AIM: WANT onlv what is righteouslv
VV our own." said President Harding to
the otliccis of the Atlantic fleet, referring by
impliiation to the war settlements, "nnd,
by the Internal, wp shall hnve It!"
That btatcineiit is brn'.e nnd manly
enough. And. reading it. one cannot but
grieve oer the failure of statesmen and the
peoples for whom they tnlk to define and
describe what they believe to bo the Mail
able and desirable fruits of the war and the
lf tor1.
It needs onlv a giant e backward Into his
tor; to perceiio that the thing for which
most goirrnnients and most people arc
h'rhltig aru at best unsatisfactory nnd highly
perishable It is good, therefore, to liear
the President disclaim any thought of trib
utes and uny hunger for new tcrntoi
There nre private cltir.cns who lould do
a service of immeasurable value to the coun
try and to humanity f they would be as
liberal-minded within the circle of their
own affairs. If there is one thing that more
than another has served to prolong the ngony
of the whole world and to increase tho
tniseiies of widespread social nnd economic
fonfusion it Is the almost universal desire
of all sorts of people to get some thing or
some special advantage at the cost of some
body els.
When, for example you listen to the ar
rant nnd dangerous nonsense that is being
talked by b good many leaders of labor and
a good many leaders of capital alike, you
cannot help feeling that increasing groups
of influential men in democratic rountries
actually have inherited something of the.
autocratic mood that once was exclusive to
kings. Well, the kings nre vanishing.
Their ictories were defeats.
Where are all the spoils that the Ger
mans gloated over in '71 and all the loot
thnt armies have been bleeding for through
centuries? Gone, of course: wasted and
burned up at the impossible tusk of pro
tecting and defending unrighteousness.
Where are the proud of a few years ago?
Of what use is it for any American to
follow bai kwanl over a road strewn with
the debris that they left?
Once or twice beforp in these coIumnB
wp have said that, while other nations nre
concentrating all their thoughts upon the
single subject of reparations, the Gcrmnns,
through ndversity nnd actual want, are in
n way to win tup higher prizes of the war.
Thpy are achieving national discipline,
unity of purpose, unity of view. They are
in a' way to learn nt last the utter futility
of pride and arrogance, and they are face
to far with the ncrcssit for bard, con
sistent and creative work. Poverty and
hardship can b" a great stimulant for a
nation, too The Germans will have to
order their minds, to learn industry and
temperatencss. to face realities, to awake
from the dream of life without wholesome
effort that still lies heavily on most of the
world, or they will perish. So. beaten as
they are and humiliated nnd outcast, they
actually hae something of an ndvnntoge
over some of their late enemies
Our own country is at the present mo
ment divided against itself It is filled with
men who. in thoir !cs--pr ways, are doing
their utmost to follow in the footsteps of
discarded nutoernts "We'll put them In
their place." say labor of the employers.
"We'll put them in their place." says enp
ital of labor, "and we'll keep them there "
The resulting friction is generating a good
deal of dangerous heat. It is causing up
palling waste, and it will cause more A
love of fine work is going out of Amerban
industry, nnd the people who seek to profit
by their wits or bv tbc accidents of oppor
tunity rather than by decent effort lire in
creasing The sins of ln7ines. of foolish
vanity and enervating luxury are more fash
ionable than ja7

national spirit nnd an instinct for conflict
and a very ugly habit of suspicion nnd
bigotry in some powerful organized nnd

learn what defense a Harvard medical pro

UN Dllll the impression thnt the Depart
ment of State was handling the foreign
nffnirs of this government iu rather compe
tent style, the public lis n whole seems to
have been content to view Setintor" Knox
and his pet peace restorative with com
parator, unconcern.
Not the least of tho reasons for this in
difference is the obvious futility of an in
strument 'which declares peace without
making It, which spurns the Versailles
treaty nnd nt the same time demands n
share of the brnefits with which that pact
is in pail i onocrned.
Unfortunately, the absurdity of the Knox
resolution is not harmless. The possibilities
of mischief which It contains lire more
menacing now than ever before, since, the
resolution is to be brought to n vote in the
Senate lodaj Should it eventually puss
both houses Mr. Harding will be facrd with
the necessity of snunring practically nnd
realistically the peace program which he
and Mr. Hughes have been working out
with Senator Khox'b remnrknble procedure.
It is difficult to see ho'w thcc two policies
can be reconciled. The debate on the rcso
lution has caused division iu the llepuh
licnn ranks Senator Nelson, of -Mlnncsoln,
who ranked as a mild rescrvatlonist during
the treaty fight under tho last administra
tion, is sticking spiritedly to his guns, and
bis denunciation of the resolution revealed
insight and broad, constructive patriotism
"I nm not a diplomat " he told his con
freres the other daj. "and perhaps for that
reason I am unable to concur In the reso
lution the passage of 'which will encourage
Germany to continue with her reluctance to
comply with the treat- of Versailles as Io
disarmament nnd reparation."
This is a clear nnd elemental view of the
case, since, apart from thp paradoxes and
contradictions of the resolution, there is to
be considered first of all its effect upon the
nation with which the whole world is de
sirous of eutenng into n solid and perma
nent pence.
There is ample evidence from Berlin that
the German Government deeply desires the
resolution to be passed nnd signed by the
President. Th's means that the trouble
making features of the declaration arp balm
to n nation which welcomes complications
to cloak nnd confuse its real debt to civili
zation It is undeniable that the Knox
resolution, if adopted, will tend to render
lo-operntion between the Allies and the
I'nltcd States a matter of extreme difficulty.
Looking at the situation from the most
exclusively American viewpoint, it is im
possible to discover that the Knox plan
relieves this country from any of its embar
ras3mcnts. Indeed, it ndds to them ma
terially, since, ns Senntor Underwood hns
maintained, "the President cnu make better
terms under a war status than under n
legal pence status."
Cxcept for the German property which we
confiscated in a war undertaken In partner
ship with the Allies, and except for the
profits accruing to us from the Versailles
treat, which we hnve spurned, we nre with
out bargaining material to lay upon the
table if we proceed to frame a separate
pence with German.
The levised Knox resolution does not urge
the President to negotiate .such n part But
if the Knox plan does not lead to this out
come if is headed absolutely nowhere.
'ou would go." continues Mr. Under
wood, "onlv as a suppliant, because bv this
resolution jou say that the war is at an
end '
The irrcconeilables behind Mr. Knox do
not appear to have thought this far ahead
But man Republicans, ns bus been proved
before nnd was lately demonstrated in the
admirable debates In the Senate on this
subject haie brought sound common son-c
to bear upon the problem
Mr. Hughes' policy thus far has been one
that is whollv Inconsistent with the Knox
nostrum. If Congress approves it. it is
rrasonnbN safe to say that the cxpcutnc
branch of the administration will exert if
best efforts to offset its worst influences.

future for the women of the world in nn

FIRST IN HISTORY
The Unseating of Speaker Spangler,
First Case of Its Kind Farr Only
Temporarily Suporaeded De
tails of the Former Event.
Quay's Trial
By CUOKGK NOX McCAKN
MA.TOK SAMUEL A. WHITAKErt is
recorded ns the ninety-first speaker of
the House of Representatives.
He is the central figure in a historical
event which has no parallel In the legisla
tive nnnnls of Pennsylvania.
In 'one other Instance only in the last
fifty years was therp a precedent for the
Initial nction which preeipltattel tho per
mnuent unsealing of Sprayer ltobert 8.
Spangler.
In 181)0 John It. Farr, oULnckawnnna,
then spcakr of the House, was temporarily
deposed. Bather, the House refused to
recognize IiIk rulings and for u short lime
took the direction of affairs out of his hands
nnd proceeded to do business with n speaker
pro tern.
Subsequently there wasn return to normal
conditions, the notions of the insurrection
ists were expunged from the books nnd the
event, so far as any official record is con
cerned, is nonexistent.
SENATOR M S. QUAV in 1800 hnd ap
parently reached the extreme ebb tide
in misfortune.
The turbulent years of battle with the
independents hnd culminated In his arrest,
together with his son. K. H. Quay, on a
charge of complicity in using state funds
for private purposes.
It was the outcome of thejiotorious Peo
ple's Bank smash.
The Quay power was still potent In the
Legislature, however Thp independents
were still nble to harass and annoy him, but
fjuay's fricndu over the state nnd in the
Legislature refused to desert him.
QAMULL .7 M McCABBKLL. of Dan

lip yns of Scotch -Irish stock, persuasive
and resourceful. Knowing that Quay had
the light of Ills life ahenfl of him. McCnrrell
presented n bill whlrh restricted the com
monwealth's right to set aside jurors in
certain cases.
It was designed expressly to benefit the
senntor in his approaching criminal trial.
When the bill got into the House Wlllinm
T. Marshall, of Allegheny, took charge of it.
He handled it so cleverly that Quay made
him speaker of the House nt the next ses
sion. Frank B. MrClnin, afterward Lieu
tenant Governor, wns second in command.
It was the same Ilnle 01 which caused
the downfall of Mr. Spangler that created
the ructinu In 1800.
Ward K. Bliss, of Delaware, and General
W. II. Koontz were the field marshals of the
House in opposition to Qua .
ON A certain Friday morning the nnti
Quays found themselves temporarily in
the majority. If they could get the Mc
Cnrrell bill back into n favorable committee
and hold it thcic the Qunyltcs would b
undone
Marshall appreciated this fact. Hp gave
Speaker Farr the cue and nt 1 1 o'clock
invoked the orders of the day
Taken completely by surprise, thp nnti
Quayltes rallied thoir forces after adjourn
ment, cnlleel thp 1 louse to ordpr and put
Bliss in tho chair as sppakpr pro torn.
They wpre largely in the maiority that
morning and the obnoxious McCnirclI bill
was-shunted back to n committee thnt would
see to It that it would npver get out ngHln
There was no thought of any attempt to
unseat Speaker Farr, for the reason that
the Quay folloncis had the majorlt in the
House.
Farr hat) ruled the Hon sj. frith an iron
hand and, ns Is olwavs.-iW' case, there was
a certain amount of Iff feeling: not enough,
however, to permanently dislodge hlni. as
lns the cose with Spangler last Tuesdii.

NOW MY IDEA IS THIS
Daily Talks With Thinking Philadelphia on Subjects They
Know Best
EDWARD S. BRADLEY
On Appreciation of Literature
THL teaching of true appreciation ol
literature is more important In molding
popular tastes than thp doling out of qiian
titips of historic nl facts nnd data concern
ing it, in the opinion of Hi! ward S. Bradley,
instructor of English iu the University of
Pennsylvania.
Another point stressed by Mr. Bradley is
the desirability of the possession of u com
plete fuith In literature by those who ti)
to instill its love in otheis. since he be
lieves that this is n subject which rises
completely nbove its interpreters or lis
critics, nnd leaches, or should teai'h, itself.
"Not so very long ago," savs Mr. Brael
ley, "I heard u man prominent In the pub
lishing business make this significant re
mark :
" 'Books in America are bought to be
used ns gifts pot to he rend '
Look Only lo Cover
"He went on to explain his remark. uing
Fiance foi comparative purposes with this
country. What he said was perfectly true.
To a large extent, books nre bought here
for the attractive bindings and for glfi pur
poses. There are few very few. Indeed
cheap edit inns of good literature, whereas
in France u workman, instead of buying a
inngnyiiie picks up u little, cheap-paper
edition of n classic at the nearest newsstand
and Ihen uses it to light his pipe with when
he has finished it.
"Since this condition is so. to it greater
or less extent, the next thought Is nnturally
how (nu It be improved V It seems to niv
tliot tin- answer can be exprespd In the
quiisl-pnradox :
" 'Tin luck of popular appreciation of
llterlituie is largely clue to the teaching
of it '
"And bv teaching I moan in grammar
and high schools and In colleges li ml uni
versities In nearly everv case literature i
treated as a history unci not nu nrt In
ninny volumes on different phases of litem
lure the only uitistlc criticism attempted
js to point out whnl u beautiful moral the
book entitiilns.
"1 bale found that boys as a rule nidge
n book by ivvu standards: on" a, lo It

Vucaulay's Misconception
AN OLD letter written in
Mtnailay to nn American,
IS." by
discussing
the weaknesses nf the American deinociatic
system, mis just been reprinted. The dis
tinguished Itiitlsh liistnrlnn wrote: "I hnve
long bein convinced thnt institution-, puieh
democratic must, sooner or Inter, destroy
liberty urn! civlll.atioii. or both." He de
nies that lie ever uttered a word indicating
nn opinion that the supreme nuthoritv in u
state ought io he intrusted to the majority
of the i Hiops "told by Ihe bend." He
prophesied that tho I nlted States would
suffer bcinusp of tin1 rule of thp majority:
for the majorlt i, which was bound io be
poor and hungry, would some day rise up
and spic nil property for its own uses
When cum considers what has been hup.
priillig iu Great Britain, how the franchise
litis been extended fiom time to time until
now cien the women vole, ami how thp
control of the House of Commons has pnsei
from the ni Motrin) to the plain people,
and how the British fought a hard war for
four years mid still managed to piesrne

whether it deals with any political, social
or sociological question. The latter attitude
is. in a measure, traceable to (ourses iu
economics and sociology, which drnw atten-
4t tj propaganda elements of authors
like Shuw, Wells and Galsworthy, and Inti
mate that these nie their highest attributes.
Therefore, the bo) who insists that -the book
must cither preach a sermon or solve a
social problem never tries to define the
question, 'Whut is literature?'
Teachers Are Blamed
"1 have seldom, indeed, found a boy
whose conception of art is the pleasuiable,
spiiltual relation of the Individual to life.
Thp teachers are in n large measurp re
sponsible. The courses which most colleges
irquire include such ones as the! history of
literiituic. thp history of language and, Vay,
u course devoted lo the history of some
sppclal phase or period of literature, such
as Elizabethan drama or seventeenth cen
tury poetry. Thp result Is thut the stu
elenl makes himself nn outline of the course
just ns he would In history, and never looks
nt n book unless he has to.
"To be sure, there is a movement afoot
among some younger men and by some of
acknowledged fame, such ns Sir Arthur
Qulllcr Couch in England, to give courses
in 'appreciation,' Neccssnril , they must
treat it from a practical standpoint as to
movements and forms, but their principal
aim is the better understanding of Ilfp
through the liooks being read. It Is to bp
Imped that this will bring about a more
popular opprcciotion of literature in gen
eral, since it can be applied in high school
and gramtnnr school lis well ns e-ollegp, and
thereby affect nearly all classes of people.
"Hiivo KaIIIi In Literature"
"if n student really has a chance or Is
induced to read a book ho Is not likely to
foiget It. but If he is given a number of
dates und names connected with it he is
almost sure to forget them. The teacher,
then, is the gulcje-post, standing between
the book and the student, analyzing the lat
tor and from that nnnlvMis booslm. iun
L books which would best react with his
uaiiire.
"But (iIkivp all. there must be that
realization that literature will teach itself.
The cardinal dm trine of the teacher should
he unbounded fnilh in literature nml the
appreciation thnt it is paramount, rising
above nnv criticism of it, any teacher of it
and any historical treatise of its forms."

j By WILLIAM ATIIKRTON HU TUT
I I
XXTHEN lie was a youngster nnd was being
' trained for diplomacy . says Ambassa-
' dor .IttssPrand, the American representative
oFFrance, it was hard for him to understand
jiist what swimming, boxing, riding had to
do with thut profession. Thp accomplish
inents stood him in good stend. however, In
the dii.vs of Theodore Roocvolt.
The President used to telephone around to
bis Intimntes und ninke engagements for
various .sorts of expeditions. "Wear your
worst clothes," he would say. It finally
cnnip lo puss, after much penetration otbnur
thickets and swimming of streams, "atroci
ties" they called the expeditions among
themselves, that there were no "worst
clothes."
It wub nn unusual day when tbey hailed
a elark) with u leaky bont to take them
over to a muddy island In the Potomac
When they were aboard Mr. Roosevelt put
his bund on (he French unibiiNstidor'a slioul
der. struck nn attitude, und said:
"Washington and Uochauibcau crossing
the Delaware."
When. llnHlly. they reached the island
they scarchrd their pockets in vain. Here
was a President of the United States, two
diplomats, the secretary of interior nnd no
assistant secretary of pavy nuel not enough
money among them to pay the boatman.
The other day 1 sat in n stiff bailed
littleTchalr over at the Pan-American Inion
with u telephone receiver nt my car.
Tho President of the United .Stutcfl wa
calling up tho president of Cuba and we
were listening in, The occasion was th-1
opening of communication by telephone, with
the island republic, a cable having been lain
along the bottom ot the oeeun n mile below
the surface.
But lo mc the most rcninrkable part of
tho performance was a calling of the toll of
other stations that were likewise listening
to this conversation of Presidents: "Key
West," said the intorloeutor, nnd the renlv
came back, "This is Kc) Wrsf, Jones talk
iiV." "Jacksonville," tame the call and the
man at that point responded similnrly. I p
the coast to Richmond, Philadelphia. New
York, marched the roll call and from cai h
cnine the response ns clear os a bell.
Then the journey of voice which succeeded
voice started West. Tho man at 'ittsburgli
t'hlcago, Davenport, Iovvn, respe nded to hl
cull. Omaha, Denver, Raw lings, W.vomlne
piped in. "This jg Wlnnemuccn, Nevada
Hawkins talking," camp a voice.
Then the call ronehrel out to Sjin Frsn
elseo nnd from San Francisco down to l.ns
Angeles, and then it Jumped by radio out
to Santa Catollua. And the man at Santa
Catallnn. in the Pacific, phatted about the
weather and the novelty of the occasion with
the mau Iu Havana, and all these stations
listened in ntitlNwo presidents and ninn
lesser dignitaries murvelecl that the ingriiu
It) of mnn should he able to harness tin
invisible force that runs along u wire and
made such a thing possible.
Then General Crovvder, vho is down n
Cuba straightening things, out, chatted with
General Pershing. Hp invited the genera
of the armies of the United States to eenn
down and visit him, stated thnt the l'f
was one of constant pleasure, golf iu tli"
forenoon, cards in the nflPrnoon and dniielii?
at night.
"But do not come with any undup lint"
in your breast," said General Crovvder. "Ml
the attractive lodips down here are cilhei
married or engaged. "
And Silt Lnko City chuckled.
SECRETARY Albert Fall, of the Depart
ment nf Interior, tilj suffcra from a
pri peculiar wound.
Some ypnrs ago he went forth into th
mountains of New Mexico to cngago in ln
fnvnrltn sport of derr shnbtlng, Forlum
favored him, ho was a good shot and tli"
i fiilt was that lie brought ilow n ns hand
snmp nn nntlered buck as one would want to
sep.
He hurried to the fallen stag, hunting
knifp ready, that he might hired it propcrlv
to tnnke the meat the. more palatable. Hut
the animal was nol dead. As the hunter
approached It rallied for that one burn of
strength thut sometimes comes before nurn
ciealurea expire. It arose and charged to
hunter. .
A light ensued between the man with Ins
knife and the buck with forked horns. When
It was over tho creature of the wild vm
