The ltecelver of Taxes has expressed n deelre "te talk with a number of persons int." The respect for political considera tions, in which Mr. Kendrick has seldom kien lacking, is here revealed. If everything is straightened out with "the boys," Mr. Kendrick might b per Baded te "put his shoulder te the wheel," exercise that "wonderful organizing ability" extolled by v.f president of Council and "atart the ctbi' tlen with a hurrah." Thnt the ch--' ng would ! echoed by such anpperters of the fair a& wish for Its ntlr aererance from politics is, however, morn than doubtful. Mr. Weglcin is te be ac credited both with initiative and Impudence.

But Mr. Weglein's definite p'ropes.il .-macks linmUtakably of the ort of factiennl ma neuvering calculated te cripple the who!" undertaking.

FROM REST AND GREEN PEACE HARDING RETURNS TO BEDLAM This ta One of the Tlmea When Ne One In Hla Senses Would Envy the Preal- dent'ef the United States TODAY Piesldent Harding must again take held of the levers of a govern mental mnchine thnt for almost a year hasn't been functioning normally or decently.

Fer his position new is no happier than Mr. Wil Wil eon's was toward the close of the Demo cratic Administration. It I, if anything, worse. Fer the prob lems thnt crowd und shriek for solution in Washington are Immedlnte nnd pressing. And they are domestic problem'. They Irritate und trouble and oppress the aver age man, who saw the war as a phenome non of abstractions nnd the League of Na tions as n distant nnd luminous vision. There is none of the excitement and elation et the wnr years te divert general attention from atTnir.s at home ; none of the falsi; prosperity of the recent past te mol lify a restless and uncomfortable popula tion. The eyes of the people ate bent upon Washington. The people "wanL things done." That is. they want n business revival, a better view through the ugly fogs that rise from the sources of industrial slackness nnd unrest. They want normalcy. They want te hope for a fairer distribution of tax bur dens and they want a better definition nnd a better treatment of our International affairs. They want te knew whether the lresident's nrmnment limitation policy is te be frustrated. They are irritated by the endless nei.e in Washington. Se they have begun te damn Cengiess. That, of course. Is most unfair. Fer Congress is of their own making. It is their alter ego, their ether self. The elected it all by themselves. It isn't u pleasant thing le see. Its behavior is such as te inspire despair rather than hope In rational men. Under the spell of fears and concerns strictly political. Senators and Representa tives en both sides have thrown national Interest te the dogs. Te ndd te the turmoil, a scandal is brewing in Attorney General Daiigherty's office. The Treasury Depart ment wants te be rid of the responsibilities put upon It by the Velstead law, and the Antl-Snloen League has announced that it "will net consent" te see the work of pro hibition enforcement transferred te the De partment of Justice Mr. Horah and Mr. Ledge and some of their chief aides have formed n new and startling alliance te wage a war of words upon the allied Powers for the $241,000,000 due us for the malntenniKL of our forces of occupation en the lthlne. VV seem te have been shut out of the European scheme of reparations payments. We mm be shut out of a great many ether schemer thanks te Mr. llernh and his etewd. Europe is being remodeled in the interests of the Allies. It.s new opportunities will be distributed at the Genea conference, ill which we have refused nusterely te sr. Though we remain aloof we continue, as a Natien, te insist that all our interests must b pio pie tccted by groups with which we will net condescend te confer. That Is a childlike proposal, reriVcthe of u mere than childlike faith. When Washington begins i, t,n aim lessly it becomes plain that Washington or let us ay Congress has no policy of any sort. When Mr. Harding attempts te meet the deficiency ns he has done en several notable occasions he is rebuked b the Senate and the halls of Congress resound with noises of iiltirm. "The world is Mich a dangerous plnie." savs Congress in oiled, "rh'it n step in any ditu-tlen :, nut te be thought of." Undoubtedly tins Cungtess 4, i.nj.epulur. Its unpopularity will extend te the Admin istration if matters de net quick iiupieve. The Senate will net take advice tnm any body. It has challenged llatdiiij; .ind thwarted him. It hns contemptuously ig nored the advlre of Hoeer and every man aware of the realities of the Industrial sit uation and lommen needs. The dU, ussien and criticism general in and out of news papers en the first income-tax dav of "the ar made it plain that the country is by no means satisfied with the manner in which tax burdens hme been distributed, And the shrinkage by almost a billion of income-tax i twenties must have startled a Congress which has been dreaming of feeling ' bout for was te add three or four billions te the debt which must b paid through n special taxa tion in order te quiet these groups of former service men who demand bonuses. Congress hun inspired in ihcsp groups hopes and desires which It cannot satisfy. Its members will hae te suffer sooner or later in ene way or another for the cruelty, the felly and the Insincerity, of their attitude in relation te the bonus. Will their party suffer, tee? Even the inet temperate Republican newspaper ate siiln; thnt the present Con gress Is the weist in bistert . "'Congress," s.ild Mr. Gilbert in his Saturday dispatch from Washington, "obeys the slightest nod of the Anti-Saleen League.'' It isn't pleas pleas ent te think of Congress obeying nods from anybody. What is te be done about it new? What can Mr Harding de? It is snfe te assume.that the President left Flerida with profound regret. Fer emigres is astray und unmanageable- and it Ims no mind of Its own. Hut win should the people complain new? Congress l their work. D didn't elect itself. WHAT ARE COLLEGES FOR?

An it seems te be, admitted nowadays that tha purpose of tvfrileg ia te equip a man te'astfc mene aj,ntl sorts of vocational EVENING PUBLIC IiEDGEtt- PHILADELPHIA, courses tire offered, no one can tell where the craze will step. It used te be thought that there was n distinction between a college and n trade school. That distinction Is beginning te disappear. Courses In salesmanship, In ad ertislng and In business administration are offered by the larger institutions and the smaller ones arc yielding te the pressure, until what used te be regarded ns cultural Institutions arc Invading the field once left te the business college. The study of Greek already lias been crowded into a corner. Latin Is fighting for its existence. This Is because men ara ask ing of what use these langunges can be le a man who Intends te manufacture brick or sell automobiles or drill for oil. Yet there nre some old-fashioned people still left who would like the colleges te con tinue te provide what used te be cnlled n liberal education. They would like te hnvc the young men and the young women Intro duced te the best that men have thought antl done from the beginning In order that their minds might be broadened nnd their think ing processes strengthened te enable them te live a life inspired by something else than a dislrc te get rich as quickly as possible. Hldies are a means and net an end, n platitude us old ns the first man who sat down te think. Hut we arc In danger of teaching the young thnt riches are an end In themselves. Unless w'c take a firm grip wi ourselves wn shall forget the truth of the .emaik of the w-le mini who said that life Is mere than meat and the body than rai ment. The Dappers nnd the Jazz hounds have forgotten it already. Ycl semu of them are graduates of the colleges which were founded te qualify men for living a fuller life. BUCKET-SHOPS FORBIDDEN IT 18 n mutter of common knowledge that bucket-shops have been flourishing In this city for years, and that there were re cently several of them In the same block with the stock exchange. Within n few squares of Hread and Walnut streets there were said te be forty or titty of them u few weeks nge. Seme of them have failed and are in the hands of receivers. Hut the criminal offi cers of the county de net seem te have done anything about it In spite of the exlstcnce of a law making bucket-shopping a misde meanor punishable by fine or imprisonment for the first offense nnd by imprisonment for the second. That law was passed in .1007 and is Chap ter .'150 of the public laws of Pennsylvania. It defines a bucket-shop ns n place where transactions lire made respecting the pur chase or sale of stock, grain, previsions or ether commodities wherein both parties or the proprietor of the shop nlene Intends that the transaction shnil net be perfected by the purchase of ntir stock, grain or ether com cem com medlty in u benn-lide transaction. The penalty for a first offense iH 11 fine of from .S'" te 100 or Imprisonment for net mere than six months in the county jnil. Fer the fecund offense the penult) is net less than sixty du)s In jail and net mere than six months, and if the bucket-shop remains open after the first conviction that shnil be deemed a second offense. If the offender is a cor poration, the Attorney General or the Dis trict Attorney for the district in which the offense is committed is directed te institute proceedings for the forfeiture of it.s charter. Telegraph, telephone, express and wiieless telegraph companies are forbidden te supply bucket-shops with mnrkct quotations, anil if they are convicted they are liable te the same penalties as the principals, und in ad dition they are liable te forfeiture of their charrer under proceedings which either the Attorney General or the District Attorney must Institute en his own Initiative. This luw seems te bi sweeping enough, if it were enforced, te wipe out every bucket shop in the city and te put an end te bucket shopping by legitimate brokers who de that sort of business as a side issue. Why has it net been resorted te? DAUGHERTY'S RESPONSIBILITY ATTUKNEY GENEHAL DAUGHEUTY, in a telegram te this newspaper trem Sr. Augustine, I'm... said en Saturday that "he knew nothing of the case of T. Ilenty Walnut." Obvious!) , then, the quicker .Mr. Dnugheity informs himself about that interesting case the better it will be for everybody concerned, himself included Little by little the light Is penetrating te the interior of the prohibition scandal in this Stale. "They wanted me te drop the McConnell case,' said Mr. Walnut, "and I wouldn't. They tailed that insubordina tion." Twe lepicentathe, of Mr. Daughci ty's office, who seem, oddly enough, te have traveled under aliases, made the demand uism .Mr. Walnut. Thee men acted, of course, under orders from en high. The) were messengers of ethers in Washington. Who gave them their Instructions? That question will have te be answered, and unsweru quickly. If the whole system f prohibition is te appear otherwise 'than ns an outrageous, and futile pretense nnd a eiil mlnnting proof of national hypocrisy. Mr. Geff, who has been Acting Attorney Gen erul In Mr. Daugherty's absence, is net ,ls ,ls pesed te be communicative. Se it Is new ,i te the Attorney General himself te testify for his department THE PRINCE IN INDIA AS IT wus extravagant te nssume that the Prince of Wales, through his per sonal charm and ingratiating personality, could solve the Immensely difficult problems thnt beset India, se it is equally unfair te describe his tour, new ended, ns u failure. The heir apparent te the imperial throne has leen discreet. Ills manners are pleas ing and he wus welcomed heartily by these groups in India which expected te like him. Considering the brevity of his stay und Its necessarily formal character, a superman, under such limitations, could hardly have accomplished mere. Fer the Indian question cannot be settled bv spectacular tours, pomp and carnival. Perhaps, as the British Government may have wished, it was demonstrated, ns else where en the Prince's pilgrimage, that he is u geed fellow, Hindus with Western training may be able te grasp the mcuuiiig of that characteriza tion. Hut upon the bulk of the population it can have little effect The consequence has b en that the Prince neither wrought iniruclen of statesmanship nor Inevocnble damage. His oppeitunltles were narrowly circumscribed. It was net because of his presence that uneasiness in India has lately increased. The causes of unrest me of n complexity almost unparalleled, The majority of In dians (Ml per cent of the entire population is Illiterate are concerned chiefly with living conditions am protection against Im poverishment and famine. Tim ngitaters are operating among noisy minorities. Even these are by no means in accord, since the Mohammedan "intelligentsia" are ehielly interested in revision of the Trenty of Sevres, which in their view has oppresses Turk", the "Hind of Islam," while the high-minded Gandhi and his followers ure seeking a kind of rarefied spiritual liberation which means nothing te 1'etich-wershlplng low castes.

LOWRIE IT HAS often fallen te ray let te- be per sonally conducted by owners nnd builders and head directors ever plants and buildings, through Institutions and exhibits of organi zations, and-1 am iilways astonished nt the things theyvshew and equally astonished at the things they left unshewn. Men will pretty nearly always spend much mere time in the engine house and in the storehouse and administration building, than nny woman cares te. Head nurses, direc tresses and mntrens linger Indefinitely In the laundries nnd kitchens, nnd show as their great triumph the dining-rooms set for the next meal. If you arc one of n party you nre gen erally cow-ailed first In nn Institution pnrler or recc'ptlen room, than which there Is noth ing mere depressing en the face of this earth except the walls of the Heuse of Correc tion neur Holmesburg. After the party has arrived, te the last straggler, the conven tional round of inspection begins, and from start te finish you never get mere thnn an outside view of the Inside life of the place. Yeu could net wiy, if seu were about te be shot for It, whether wlint you nre shown Is whnt the persons living there really see or whether you have missed their point of view completely. I think thnt the strangeness of tiling in parties of twenties through wards or bed rooms or kitchens or cellars or even engine rooms ns though they were picture galleries is n benumbing process. Yeu are nlwnys commenting, never really feeling what the place is like. Nothing gees en quite nntu rally under se large and staring an inspec tion, and you feel between your cheery re marks like apologizing te these who belong there for breaking into their routine with no real reason save the very bald one that you have come te leek them ever. EVERY new nnd then, however, there is n rare director of n public Institution who has grown te care for it ns a home rather than value It ns an institution, und that somewhat unique Individual will actually receive you n though he were your host nnd you were n valued nnd welcome, guest. And his aim being te make you feel at home, he will show you the real places that make it home, net the machinery that makes it con venient or sanitary or educational. Under his kindly nnd genlnl guidance you meet the real people who belong there, net se much the persons who minister there ns the per sons who cnll It home. And you come away feeling thnt you knew the pince, even though you have never seen the laundry or in spected the heating plant or praised the head nurse for the wonderful order of the infirmury closet. IWKNT te one such home the ether day or rather three such homes, for the Sal vation Army has out Jn West Philadelphia en Lnnsdewne avenue. fi4H. n rescue mis sion house, n maternity nnd baby hospital and a home for little children called Ivy Heuse within a stone's threw of etic an other, nnd nil en the same block. On the rather rough drive out there, for the streets were in bad condition, the Sal vation officer and 1 talked of the Army and the vnriety of experiences he had had, serv ing first in Londen, where he had been con verted nnd Joined mere then thirty years agej then in Belfast, then in Chicago, then In ( allfernla and then here. He said It was part of the discipline, of the Army that the units In the different countries and In the separate cities should take the color of their surroundings as much ns possible, adapting their activities and their ways of approach te the customs of the Immediate neighbor hood. And he said each of the cities in which he had served were se unlike all the ethers thnt he had been obliged, In order te make geed, te change Ids tactiis with each new position. He told me as an Illustration that, although nil the cities had rescue homes, the one he was taking me te see here In Philadelphia differed in several marked particulars from these of ether places, and when we arrived nt the home and were In troduced te the matron, whom he called commandant, his opinion was seconded by her. Her last billet, I think, had been Chatham. England, u town very much alive with soldiers and with sailors and with the low type of girls and women who attempt te prey upon army and navv inea. I rather gathered they had different lcfuge places for these lower types of women. Ilete. however, there is only one home. it is nn old West Philadelphia plastered house that was used formerly for a school. It hns, I should think, room for nbeut forty persons, two in a room, with single rooms for tint various officers in charge ami a very pleasant little bedroom and a sitting-room ter the commandant. We sut for a long while in the house sitting-room und just talked, the commandant, the colonel, an other visitor nnd myself. In the easy ut ut mesphere the cemmnndnur forget 1 was net In the Army nnd discussed things with me, with new nnd then an explunnteiy word from the colonel. My recollection Is that the commandant had been serving seventeen jears; about 1000 girls and women passed through her hands a year. Seme of them were'inifrrled, most were net. They came then of their own free will and they could leave nt any moment. They had one thing In common, however else they differed In i ace, color, religion and age and reusen for being as they were: they were all ubeut te become mothers. I NEVER saw se dean a house, for even tually 1 did go nil ever It, meeting even tunlly all the dwellers there, from a little girl of fifteen or sixteen te an eldish, breeding woman well en in her thirties, I funcy. These who are living there de all the work et that plensnnt. cheerful home. These who de net knew hew are tnught, for when they come out from their confinements it Is eftenest us liousewerkers that they must earn their living end the living of the child. I asked what religious teaching thev get, ether than that of very beautiful example, and the commandant told me that there was morning prayer, veiy short, and twice during the week a Bihle-readlng class, te which the alumnae of that hem return whenever they can get time off. THE nenr-by hospital had duty babies in the long nursery, nnd ns many mothers down the Ien;; line of little liedroems. There was n big glnssed peich where babies who hnd graduated could ceme back nnd sleep in their coaches while their mothers were out nt work or downtown for a .Ittle shopping or off nn an ciratid for employers. There was n room for "making the bottles" nnd another convenient one for "dyd.'ing." anil 1111 infirmary for sick babies nnd a clinical room and nn operating mom. Like the home, the hespitnl was an old house done ever with narrow means for the purpose; and like the home, it was exqui sitely clean. I knew, tee, at what cost it was'clean, for its tips and dewt.s nnd queer corners and inconveniences were very ap parent te a housekeeper's eye. In 'every room there were pictorial texts that somehow brought tears te my eyes, for they were evi dently valued as works of nrt by these who furnished the rooms and cherished nn com forting inspirations by these who came te suffer aud te get well lliere. IVY HOUSE, a home for little children, is the Inrgest and, selldest of the three. It was once the mansion of somebody of cnn-e. qiience, I should say . The rooms are large nnd well proportioned, and the ceilings high and the grounds ample, The children live there and go te school uenrhv In the p'tblle school. They were most of them under ten, verv frlendU and well-miinnered ami having n geed time in 11 nursery sort of place where they were singing. It was a very blessed nfternnen, and 1 have gene lighter hearted ever slaee, I asked the colonel en mir way home what salarv the commandant received.

Daily Talks With Thinking Philadelpliians en Subjects Knew Best NICOLA A. MONTANI On Church Music Past and Present CHURCH music Is new In one of its periodic stntes of transformntien, In the opinion of Nicola A. Mentani, conductor of the Pulestrinn choir and organist and choir master nt St. Jehn's Church. "Church music," said Mr. Mentani, "is new in one of it.s half-way periods, nnd I believe is struggling te find n better expres sion, as it has done periodically for several centuries. The first real decadence of church music began about the time of Orlande ill Lasse, or even earlier, when music of all kinds became se surfeited with counterpoint for its own snke thnt there wns little of an) -thing else left in It. "The whole question is u mutter of cycles, and we are having the same reaction new which has been gene through ninny times before. In the clnsslc polyphonic period composers had exhausted the technical resources) of the art, end in tr.ving te find a new vehicle of expression resorted te the unjustified plan of using the pepulnr songs of their (lily as a ciintus tlrmus, and even went te the length of adopting ribald drinking songs ns n bnslc element of eude biastical composition. Used Even the Words "At times they even interpolated the veiy words of the street songs in connection with the Lutln text. These excesses led almost te the abolition of music in the church b) the ecclesiastical authorities. "Fortunately, through the works ei P.il estrina, church music was rescued from such a deplorable state, and in the next cycle it repossessed itself of it.s eiiglnal typical ec clesiastical -nuture, and tills was the age of nbselute purity In the church-music style. This state of nffnlrs continued until the re currence of the next secular cycle, and In the time of Haydn nnd Mozart music in the church agnln took en the manner of the operatic style In vogue nt that time, and this might be called the Viennese period. What Sebastian Rach Did "Then in Protestant music came Jehnun Sebastian Bach, and that great genius de veloped the congregational element aud raised and maintained the urtisllc standard te 11 superlative degree In an ecclesiastical styiu fitting te the Protestant service. "But the retrogression In church music came In the greatest degree from the efforts of poorly equipped composers, who uttempted te epy the religious works und style of Ha.vdn, Mozart ami Schubert without the genius of these great men. Most of the religious music of Heetheven was written mere for concert purposes, especially these In the mere elaborate forms, such as the Mass In D miner, and the physical chnrnc terlstlcs of his larger works make It im possible te iibe tlicin for liturgical purposes.
