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

THE SENATE OONTEMPTIBLES

This Is the Only Conclusion te Be Drawn
Frem Their Scandalous Attempts te
Wreck the Forur-Power Treaty
"pESPATTEItlNG the geed name of the

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

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.

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

DR. HERBERT J. TILY
On Music and Industry
THE study and the practice of music hnve
an important effect upon tlie dally life
of nil who fellow It and. even te some cv
tent, upon their industrial occupation, in
the opinion of Dr. Hetbert J. TUy, genera
raunngcr of Straw-bridge & Clothier und
director of the famous chorus.
"Music," said Dr. Tlly, "l, or should
be, n pnrt of the dally life of every person.
If n man has a leaning toward music, nnU
la in n position te gratify this taste nnu
share it with ethers, lie experiences n double
delight: that of the pleasure which mublc
gives him und, in addition, tlie pleasure
which comes from helping ethers te develop
their musical inclinations.
"Music is pre-eminently n dlsclpllncu
emotion. All art is te some ettent, but
music mere than any of the ethers. H
composer in his creative work disciplines
his emotions nnd expresses his musical
thoughts lu n manner which complies with
musical requirements, be can hear his crea
tive work only through the instrumentality
of Interpretative artists who render with
voice or Instruments that which the com
poser created.
A Disciplined Emotion
"Therefore, it seems te me that one of the
principal effects upon the thousands who
study music seriously and sincerely must
be that in the ether activities of Hie they
npply the disciplinary process which they
have learned through their music. And us
art in tones is refined, be its study mid
practice help in refining the ever) day actions
of life by u proper obedience te the tuuda
mentul laws of action.
"There is another and perhaps mere im
portant sociological nspect of the study of
music, which is realized even in industry.
In ensemble music, whether chernl or In
strumental, there always exists the necessity
of levullv following a leader. The value of
intelligently dlrrcted group action, co-eper-iition
and co-ordination is emphasized every
time u group bings or plays, submitting
themselves te the instruction und direction et
recognized leadership.
"Individual action, no mutter bow geed it
may be us such, can result only in confusion
where gieup action is required. The purpose
of accomplishing thnt which can be done en.ly
through joint action depending upon intelli
gent leadership is emphasized In the prac
tice of ensemble mublc and it touches a valu
able civic, social und commercial le.sten.
"But above ever) ether consideration is
the" uplifting, ennobling Influence thin thei-e
of us who are associated In these studies get

tiling, and it exerts 11 beneficent influence
through almost every ether phase of life.
Great Epics Made Stronger
"Thus, tlie story of 'Elijah' or the Christ
mas story never makes se vivid an appeal as
when they are dramatically vitalized b) tlie
genius of Mendelssohn, Handel, Bach or by
icvera) of our great modern composers, The
first realization that I hnd of the tremendous
dramatic and cpechr! significance of the life
of the prophet Elijah mine te mc with over
whelming conviction when J lux heard
Mendelssohn's oratorio sung. The eiioimeiiH
significance of the prophecy of life, of dcnili
und of the resurrection en tne te me with
stunning force when I lirst hemd "The

within its power te de n great piece of work
by festering the upbuilding of choral work
mid the organization of many choral socie
ties in this city. The opportunity for such
a work is new nt hand and it is n golden
one.
"I fheuld like te live te see the time when
tonic parent organization sbnll develop in nil
the neighborhoods of the city real choral
organizations u parent organization which
(should help the community leaders with
counsel, ndvlec and. if necessary, with finan
cial assistance t the building up of com
munity choral groups, which under compe
tent leadership would seriously study the
greater choral works of the best composers.
I knew of no one thing vhlch would mere
lapldly develop the American composer.
"It is much te be desired that our jeung
people be required, as un essential pert of
their general education, te produce with their
vocal ergaus a tone shown en the printed
page, just ns itis required today of u child
that be be able te read and te write. It If
little short of criminal, I think, that people
de net class as at least partly illiterate the
boy and the girl of fifteen or sixteen jcars
of age who Is unable te read music.
"There nre few things in the world mere
uceurute than miiblcal notation nnd mere
exact. Ne matter what this nationality of
the person, the notes en the printed page ure
the same In their result when played or sung
nil ever the world; nnd while the blgns indi
cate te a hlgli. degree the tempi, dynamic
mid many ether gradations of the composer's
meaning, jet they nlse leave nbundaut room
for Individuality of interpretation, lib well.
"The inability te read music bufficiently
well te sing shuts u person out from one
of the finest phybical exercises Hint It is
possible, for man te have the delightful
physical exercise of using his vocal organs
te produce real music und te produce it us
the composer wants it produced. Net only
de they shut themselves out from n great nrt,
with Us attendant culture and refining in
fluences, hm they thus leswn their own
possibilities of geed for ethers."
