THE BROOKS LAW VALID
'ACCORDING te the L'nited States Su
J. preme Court the IJroeks License Law of
this State is valid, as it "does net purport
te authorize or sanction an thing which the
Eighteenth Amendment or the Velsf-ad a. t
prohibits."
The act gives te the State supervision
ever all places iu which alcoholic beverages
are sold. Neither the Eighteenth Amend
ment nor the Velstead act deprived the
State of its right te superlse these plaee.
As the Wener net is an amendment of the
Brooks Law, reducing the license fees and
providing that no liquor" forbidden b Fed

be assumed that the Supreme Court deeisieu
by Implication validates this new law uKe.
The effect of the decision Is te put the en
forcement of the law up te the State au
thorities. If men holding a license sell
liquors containing mere than one-half of
1 per cent of alcohol they are liable te
punishment under the State law. and If

MR. SUNDAY'S VISIT

League. "The nationalization of women."
cried the noted evangelist, "Is u principle

shevlsts!" The disturbing thing Is nut that u pro

at this late date an assertion that even the
most malignant enemies of the Soviets never

' a libel that died almost nt once of it own
essential meanness. It is thnt a spokesman

propagandists certainly haven't plajed fair

A CANDID RUSSIAN REVIVES THE
ULTIMATE STANDARD OF PEACE
Mr. Chlcherln'a Disarmament Program
Is, However, Launched In a Situa
tion Bristling With the Most
Formidable Difficulties
TO THE uninitiated there Is something
rather trying In the -ery expression of
what is called Bolshevist doctrine. The
terminology is difficult and seems te lme
been emplejed with unnecessarily bad tem
per. Net every inhabitant of this troubled
planet is' precisely sure whether he is a
bourgeois or a proletarian. The pedantry
of sevletism has net been for Its geed.
Perhaps Mr. Chicherin, who struck lirst
fire at the (jenea conference, has realized
that the dreary jargon Is pln.ved out. In
any event, his renunciation of Its doubtful
services Is conspicuous In his exceedingly
straightforward disarmament' plea, which,
se far ns Its essential significance is con
cerned, might have sprung from the lips of
Woodrew Wilsen or Charles Evans Hughes
or Anatole France or Remnlue Helland or
Maximilian Harden or Lord Rebert Cecil
or . G. Wells or Bernard Shaw or Sidney
Webb or Nerman Angell or from the sim
plest peasant or laborer or the most revered
sages of antiquity. The meaning Is funda
mental and transparently nppealing.
Te the Intense disgust of Leuis Bnrtheu.
head of. the French delegation, the Russian
legate began te crumple up thftsc precious
agenda, rules te circumscribe the scope of
the conference, which, he apologetically ex
plained, he had net carefully perused. And
despite Mr. Lloyd Geerge's facile maneuver
ing, which temporarily averted what diplo
matists and correspondents professionally
call a "crisis," Mr. Chicherin iemaln un
repentant. A new statement Issued by him yesterday
stresses the acute need of disarmament In
any attempt te reconstruct Europe, and de
dares that amelioration of present condi
tions is Impossible while the "Imperialist
countries" continue vast expenditures for
the maintenance of large armies.
This is brave nnd candid speaking. One
docs net have te wade through "Das Kapl
tal" te grasp the Idea. The thought, how
ever. Is nor new. The ex-Kalser probably
will confess thnt he has entertained it. It
was clearly formulated in the I.cague-of-Natiens
Covenant. General Wiss eened
the Pace Conference Forum in this dt h
year and a half age with an even mere
sweeping statement of the principle. Mr.
Hughes forcibly dwelt upon its naval phases
at the Washington parley, and triumphantly
achieved an approximation of a limited Ideal
lu practical terms.
The general principles of accord had.
however, been reached before the American
Conference nsscmbled. At Genea the situa
tion Is reversed. The national sensibilities
of several et the most irapertnnt countries
involved are extremely delicate. The task
of segregating black nnd white sheep is net
easy.
It Is, for instance, permissible te wonder
whether Mr. Chicherin is com ealing any
ulterior purposes. On the surface, a suh
stanrinl gain has been made since the Red
army, strong in numbers and drilled te
Prussian precision, has supposedly been the
pride of Leen Trotsky. If Mr. Chicherin
is bargaining en the subject of its disrup
tion, what Is the price?
Is It a merely similar act of militarist le
retrenchment en the part of France or will
the question of Russian foreign Indebtedness
be Involved or a European concert of ap
proval of bolshevist ambitions in the equivo
cally "independent" border states of l.atvin,
Esthenla, Lithuania and the T kralneV Is
the oil in Georgia and Azerbaijan, upon
which British eves are lenglngl) cast, an
asset for barter?
If Mr. Chicheriu's altruism may be ques
tioned, it Is equally legitimate te examine
the alleged chauvinism of France. Evi
dence that a small but powerful group of
jingoes are exploiting the military "protec
tion" idea te their own advantage Is net
wanting, but the persistent opposition of
many classes In the republic te immediate
disarmament probably lies deeper than this.
It is no slight labor for Englishmen, freed
from the German fleer menace nnd inteusel.
eager for general trade revival te relieve
home unemployment, or for Americans, in
their security nnd wealth, te comprehend
all the shadings of the French view. Cou
pled with resentment ever the German
depredations and the anxiety for u piempt
payment of reparations te offset some of the
hideous ruin, there is. the keen historical
memory of four devastating foreign Inva
sions within a Hlngle century, und an equal
consciousness of the isolation of France
since the armistice.
The League of Nations, weakened by
blows unforeseen at the time of Its creation,
has failed te fulfill Its constructive and pro pre
tectlve purposes originally designed. Its
vital principle Is identical with that pro
posed te Mr. Chicherin. It Is practical ex ex
icutien that i dela)ed.
The three-power protective treaty be
tween France, Great Britain and the l'nited
States proved an Illusive drenm. The
French beheld a recalcitrant neighbor tee
close for comfort, u neighbor net averse te
employing any agency te make the Ver
sailles Treaty Impotent.
Add te these complexities the materialistic
interests of nil the great nations of the
earth In Russiun economic, agricultural and
industrial receveryan nllgnment Including
the L'nited States, which is "winching" at
(Jenea and the difficulty of proceeding with
Mr. Chicheriu's remedy the remedy, in
deed, of sensible persons Jhe world eier
may te some extent be appreciated.
Nevertheless, the .Russian delegate, in
reiterating an inextinguishable Idea, hits
done civilization a geed turn. He has re
vlved a standard of Idealism the struggle for
which mnst be sustained, despite rebuffs and
setbacks, if modern civilization Is net te
revert te the chaos of the Dark Ages.

THE Tariff Bill reported te the Semite
eterdny afternoon by Senater Mc
Cumber is mere nearly like the bill which
will ultimately be passed than the measure
which the Heuse passed and sent te the
Selinte.
The Heu-eblll provided that the duties
be levied upon the American valuation. The
Senate bill provides thnt the duties shall be
levied en the foreign valuation in accordance
with long-standing custom. Arrangement is
made, however, for collecting duties en the
American valuation of icrtnin articles by
proclamation of the President when It is
found en Investigation that the ;mpeit of
these articles is likely te injure the Imlus
trj of the l'nited States.
This is clearly n compromise prevision
intended te please these who have been in
sisting that Europe, with its depreciated
currency, can manufacture goods se cheaply
that it can expert them te the United States,
pa) the duty en them nnd then undersell the
domestic producer. If this contention Is
true, then, when it is established in any
particular vae. the President can go te the
relief of the domestic manufacturers.
The demands of the farmers' bloc lnie
been granted In the agricultural sfhedulc.
A duty of thirty-five cents a bushel Is levied
en wheat. A basic tax of thirtj-tive cents
a pound is levied en wool. A lax of two

in cars thnt hides hae been taxed. Leng

admitted free. And se en through the prod

it is estimated thnt the bill will talse

one-half the annual expenditures of the
Government, bur which is new only about
one-tenth of the siTm needed te pay the bills.

will hae had an opportunity te read Its

advices, siv cabes of whisky disappeared
from i he Government's collection.

day and night. The stairways leading from
the ground fleer are dosed after nightfall
nnd the gates are locked. Whatever ijquer
is taken from the seizure room is brought

Seemt te Prove That There la
Psychological Moment for the
Starting of a Neighbor
heed Heute
By SARAH D. I.OWRIE
LAST winter in New Yerk City v I was
a delegate from my State at a national
conference of women whose activities were
chiefly what might be called philanthropic.
The organization was net a new euc and W
often mentioned in the papers for its im
portance and for the weight of its opinions
mi things civic nnd sociological. The
women who were foremost In its councils
nre what might he called the "key women"
of their communities, even of their States.
Whatever Is found "te be practical nnd
well worthwhile In one State is reported r.t
this conference with n view te its being
tried out In ether Stntes, somewhat modi medi
tied perhaps, but tried out. And whatever
has been attempted and has failed is also
reported, se thnt the ether Slates can take
warning and avoid a like useless expendi
ture of time nnd of money.
The organization is supposed te work nleng
democratic lines; that is, it is supposed te
work with capital apd with labor for th
betterment of the community. But it struck
me, after hearing most of the reports from
the States, that it was working with capital
for labor, which is n very different proposi preposi
tion. One of the Stntes, a New England one.
reported for lnstnnce, that its State "key
women" had tried out an experiment in
running-n small town neighborhood house
for two years with the hope that its useful
ness in the life of the town would by that
time be se well proved thnt the town corpo
ration, or at nil events the general popula
tion would take it ever and support and
run it. But the experiment was reported
a failure, because, though the house was well
used, and the statistics of the head worker
were all te the geed, neither the town cor
poration nor the citizens in general felt any
enthusiasm about, supporting it. Se the
rencluslun for that State seemed te be that
n house that was everybody's house was no
body's house.
WITH that queer fate that makes one clue
fellow another, once the mind Is en the
alert with a question, en my return from
New Yerk next day the Yonkers local
newspaper fell into my hands and nn article
iu it by Ruth Agnes Abellng, with the head
ing: "Sunn) side Started by a Weman."
riveted my attention, for I hnppened te
knew the "woman" mentioned in it, Mrs,
Charles Dietrich, of Hastings, Neb., the
wife of the one-time Governer nnd United
States Senater of thnt State. And I had
lse heard of "Sunnyslde," which was its
theme.
This is what the Yonkers paper spe
cial, writer had found It worth while te
publish nbeut the Nebraska town experiment
or shall I say success for Sunnyslde as
a town neighborhood house has been n com
plete success from every one's point et view
for some ten years.
Sunnyslde?
It's the henit of Hastings, Neb. that's
the best wny te describe it, nnd it was
Mrs. Deitrich who vitalized the heart.
The Hastings Weman's Club bad, for
several years, wanted te open a home in
Hnstings, net especially a home for old
people but n refuge whteh would serve
both old nnd )eung In time of need.
Three hundred precious dollars weie
gathered toward the project, but It speraed
Impossible te git futther. Se the money
was put in thr bank and the plan tem
porarily tabled.
Right there, however, fate took a hand.
Grandma Bali, whom nil Hastings knew
nnd respected, fell nnd broke her hip. Fer
n little while Grandpa Ball served as a
breadwinner and nurse, but the -double
duty seen proved tee much and county of
ficials took charge.
The officials devised what seemed te
their masculine minds a senslble and
subtle scheme.
We're going te take you te the hospital
where you can have the proper care, they
told Mrs. Ball.
Who will leek after Ball then? she
asked suspiciously.
He can go down te the county farm
until you're well. They tried te be
cusuul.
But Grandma Ball understood and pro
tested fiercely.
There Sunnyside came into being. Mis.
Dietrich heard of the pretest, put the
matter before the club nnd the $800 wns
drawn from the bnnk for the establish
ment of Sunnyslde.
lu the heuse which was Immediate!)
rented nnd furnished through contribu
tion, the old couple were given a toein.
They took with thtm te their new home
only their most prized possessions five
life-sized crayon portraits of themselves
and their former spouses. All were done
by the same itinerant artist at the same
time.
They Indulged in no petty jealousies.
Indeed, If you hnppened te call en Grand
ma Bnll she'd Inform you, in a voice
grown thunderous from years with a deaf
husband: "That's Ball's first woman. I
never knew her. And that's bis second,
nnd that's my ether man."
, And se thnt is the story of the starting
of Sunnyslde. This year eight new bed
rooms are being udded te the building.
It Is a branch of the Red Cress nnd ob
serves every holiday in some special wu.v.
I MAY add te this delightful Utile account
that te my knowledge the additional
rooms are te be filled with quite as Inter
esting patrons ns were Grandma Bull and
her husband: some old, some young, some
paying boarders, some puid-fer beardeis,
some waifs And strays, some retired lead
ing citizens, some ill folk convalescing, .some
out-ef-buslness folk temporarily waiting;
some persons there, during nn emergency,
some for the remuinder of their days. The
point is, it is really Everybedy's' Heuse.
The town uses it for some of its special

Daily Talks With Thinking Philadelphia en Subjects They
Knew Best
NICOLA D-A8CENZO
On Practical Art va. Art for Art'e 8ake
DECORATIVE art is new practically at
the beginning of an important readjust
ment, according te Nicola D'Ascenze, one of
Philadelphia's leading exponents of the
artistic crafts.
, "Times have greatly changed," said Mr.
D'Ascenze, "and artists are no longer main
tained by the members of the nobility nor
under the patronage of the church. The
trend of modern life has thrown them en
their own resources te a great extent, and
while this change has been beneficial te the
artists whose emancipation came with it,
It has played havoc with art nnd some kind
of a partial readjustment is IneviCabie. Tee
sumptuous decorations of the palace have
beeu replaced by the portrait and the land
scape nnd the triptych and the predclla of the
church by illustration and the lunguzliu
cever:
Demand for Religious Art
"By this I mean that most of the self
supporting artists are new busy with the
latter kind of work nnd very few nre engaged
with ecclesiastical or decorative art. for the
adornment of the home of of public places.
However, I am safe in saying thnt religion is
new making renewed demands en nrt and I
am glad that this is the case, because, as a
partfnl result, cheapness, lawdrincss and
quantity nre being replaced by quality. And
the 'made-ln -Germany nrttcles such as
windows, statues and vestments, which
have flooded this country und demoralized
the taste of our people for n generation or
mere, are being gradually replaced by greatly
superior work done by American artists.
"It is very unfortunate thnt the urtlsts
who are apt te regard such work as 'mere
decoration' and who fail te appreciate its
true worth tee often shim it for the easel
picture. As one result of this unjustifiable
nttltude, few of our nrt schools tench Hi"
proper regard for the decorative arts nnd
allow the students te develop with a mistaken
Idea of its dignity and place.
"I realize that very many of the instruc instruc
ters have no sympathy with this kind of nrt,
an art just as real and much mere prac
ticable than pointing in oils, becuufe their
interest is in landscape and the portrait,
but the economic aspect is nevertheless
making an impression en our artists and
many are heglning te leek upon It with
favor. i
Industrial Art and Industry
"Industilnl art may have been se named
because it is, the art of the industrious. In
it there are no daily ten parties, no cozy
terneis, no incense and no pipe dreams. It
is all pure hard work industry. This may
be the reason why we are looked down upon
by the 'art for art's sake brotherhood. The
niotte of the industrial urtlst is 'art for
humanity's sake' and they prefer te beautify
anything needful, n chair, a table, a hinge,
n doorknob, in short, anything that needs it
and has a public appeal, The industrial
nrtlst steps at nothing ns long as it can be
redeemed from ugliness te beauty, from the
commonplace te the artistic,
"The industrial artists nre net possessed
with the Iden of raising the taste of th"
American public with a lundscnpe; they
knew that tee few nre as yet interested iu
that kind of artistic expression. The people
want the useful things, and it is our business
te improve these things by making them
beautiful nnd net te scoff nnd starve.
' nut i lie iaciv ei me critical iiicuity in
our public causes much of the 'Imported' te
be dumped en our country. If they could
mere readily discriminate, they would Fee
thut the charm, if it can be called that, of
most of the imported work lies in the name,
and that in .workmanship and beauty it is
fur inferior te that new produced here.
A Parallel In Architecture
"And why should it net be, when modern
American architecture is far superior te that
of Europe? I am amazed at the lack of
real taste displayed by most of the present
day architects abroad. The 'modern style
of the Viennese has ruined the taste of
Europe and everywhere one is shocked by
buildings, the design of which Is neither
structural nor dignified and which nre cev-

ported acreage of statuary, vestments, orna
ments nnd stained glnss which are allowed
free entry ns works et nrt.
Much Trash Brought In
"It Is little short of criminal te permit the
tawdry trash which comes by the shipload te
enter at .nil, much less duty-free. Our
churches nre full of this dccalcemania pro
duction of windows nnd the only thing te be
t-aid In its favor is that it is cheap. I was
amazed last summer whlle in Chartres,
France, studying the fine old glass of the
thirteenth century in the cathedral there,
te find that the glass in St. Patrick's Ca
thedral, New Y'erk City, some of the were
glass in America today, wns made ther,
under the very shadow of this cathedral, the
greatest treasure house of ancient and me
dieval glass In the world.
"The same is true of England. Loek r.t
the bttiff which comes from there te 'adorn
our churches. Stupidly designed vestments,
anemically conceived windows, filled with
stained glass attitudes and stained glass
faces with nbeut nB much feeling and ex
pression as the average cigar-store Indian
of past days. On the whole, It is skillfullv
executed, hut there is nothing' vital. The
subject matter is usually interesting, but the
most Important thing of nil color is the
most lacking As a result, tbclr windows
nre celtl nnd thin transparencies, washed out
find sickly. We cannot hope for anything
better from them ns the Anglo-Snxen has
never been noted ns a colerlst. Appreciation
of color possibilities is a rucial character
istic and we must go te the Oriental or Latin
ter its fullest expression.
Forgetting the Past
'The European craftsmen, like their
architects, are apparently In search of the
new, but are going nbeut it in the doubtful
manner of first forgetting the glories of the
past. We, in the United States, en the
contrary, are attempting new expressions.
lift they arc based upon the old and proved
traditions; in ether words, we belleve iliat
art is a carrying-en process, an evolution,
net a revolution.
i. Ve n'tteh craftsmen are nlse of the be.
I ef that the best art is that which has be
hind it h definite purpose for Its existence.
J feel that u lundsenpe especially executed
for an evermantel is bound te be better tnati
the one painted for no one purpose or for no
ene person. An artist Is certain te de better
work when inspired by special surroundings,
the color scheme of a room, the lighting
scale and nttructlyeness of the subject, which
after all must nuike Us nppeal te the persons
who are te liv with it.
"We must-realize that aflenst 00 per cent
of the fine old work new In the hands of
collectors was made for n definite place,
purpose nnd person. The nverrige artist te.
ilny has gene mnd from the smell of oil paint
and nothing is worthy of attention elcent
semeth ng for the next show, although some-
lines he must of necessity use the same
frame nnd occasionally, for lack of funds the

"I hope that there will be a change of
heart and that we will use our talents for
he requirements of the common people. Tim
