The charges were made in Illinois some

THE FAIR SITE IN CONGRESS
OPPOSITION te the Kalrmeunt-Parkvvay
site for the world fair Is demolished in
the Darrevv resolution which has been fa
vorably reported te the Heuse of Repre
sentatives. In the amended version specific
reference Is made te the location chosen by
the exposition association, thus insuring
congressional sanction of riie best netting
and implying aKe that Federal aid is con cen
tJngcnt upon adherence te the present plan.
Chairman island, of the Cuiigrev-lennl
Committee en Industrial Arts nnd Kxpnsi Kxpnsi
Hens, has been in tevvu investigating alter
native proposals, and. as might have been
expected from an impartial critic, finding
(;- them hopeless. "There is nothing but a
v Nl,awamp thfrc." was his decisive comment en
h the League Island location.
Mr. Bland s recent skepticism concerning
Federal appropriations is encouragingly
offset by his intimation that the Govern
ment is likely te Invest its money malnlv in
a permanent building near the Park en- '
trance. This Is the sort of aid which 'the i
fair association would welcome. t
presages also help en broader lines, once the
enterprise is thoroughly under way.
The publicity accorded economy pangs in
Washington dovetails ingeniously with the
political demands of the November cam
paign. But the exposition program extends
considerably beyond 1921', and it is rea
sonable te assume that Congress will even
tually realize Its patriotic obligation, as It
did in the memorable da.vs of the Centen
nial. The pending resolution, reassuringly (e
flnlng the site nnd instructing the President
te solicit the co-operation of foreign Gov
ernments nnd the States of the Union, is
something mere than a mere form of verbal
compliment, even though it carries no Jinan Jinan
,clel appropriation.
The fair is crystallizing and Congress is
making ready te lecemmcud in enwron enwren
ment. There can be no appeal from this
formal verdict without wrecking the prejeit.

VOLSTEADISM FOR THE MIND;
AN AIM OF SOCIAL CENSORS
Magistrate McAdoo, of New Yerk, a
Broadway Play and the Triumphs
of the Hush-Hushers
TE A inutleusly formalized, sterilized, pe-
Heed and censored order of existence Is
the ideal one. then we In this country should
feel assured of a tens "nil successful life.
It may he a joyless life, but that doesn't
seem te matter at the moment.
Despite all the savage cries of objection

wllli'll UlirillA nnd Ulldlc Dlineil areuiis held
out acaint the onrush of amateur irusir
tiers, the movement te bring all our habits
of thought, action and feeling within the
limits of formulae prescribed by censers Is
continuous and progressive. Art has net
escaped. Ner have boehs, plajs. songs,
dance, dress, the movies or the dinner
table. The geed citizen us the social censer
sees him Is one who has permitted himself
te be Ironed down te a dead and snfe level;
one who refuses te be moved by Imagination,
Indignation, free will or even a delre for
i Imiire from thing decreed bj the gentlemen
he labor earnestly te police his mind for
him.
The testilts of all till ort iif thing are
net inspiring, a little while age ihere was
a terrific outcry agu!nt jazz. .Itizz uas ad
erflsed as it uas never advertised before.
New it is mere prevalent than ever
It cannot be denied that Mr. VeKtead's
law inspired a fresh curiosity about hard
lupier among people who, without him.
might never have had any interest in it.
The righteous raged about short-skirted
bathing suits. New the ene-plccer I the
accepted thing. The progress of social cen
sorship since It began manv jears age In
j organized prudery make it clear that the
way te better social discipline lies only
through .a restoration of the rule of self,
determination for the people of the Tutted
States.
The censers will net believe till, of
leurse. Their activities ate increasing and
they are seeking new fields te conquer.
.Majer Ilylan, of New Yerk, squinting
dubiously at a group by Mr. Macmennles

trate McAden, hinting that he may clee a
play that has been having a suctessful run
in New Yerk.
If is interesting te observe that th play
is net obscene or. as the censers sn- vaguely,
suggestive. It is net what ('.roadway calls
a girl-show. The author sought merely te
reflect through his leading character ' the
psychological results nf ph.v.Ii-nl strain and
I loneliness and despair irn.'i human mind.
Ills subject was a ship's stoker.
The stoker was profane, but net se pro
fane as peliiemen and politicians or cab
drivers or chauffeurs or firemen can be in a
moving crisis. Magistrate McAdoo and the
people who egged him en seem te feel thut
the language mere or less natural te a
worker in a ship's holler room might en
danger the morals or corrupt the vocabulary
of Broadway. Broadway must be kept
ihaste. no matter what happens te art:
The futile h.vpecrisv suggested in such
incidents may be ignored. I5ut the expan
sion of random censorship into regions where
It functions te suppress discussion of un
familiar but important truths is a met
unwholesome siKn of the nines.
The desire of the true s0cjal censer I te
eliminate from the public gaze anv thing that
might suggest that all life is net easy, effort,
less, untroubled and a sweet as any of the
softer passages from Tennjsen. Thus it
is unsafe te imply through the medium of a
sincerely written play that a stoker en an
Atlantic liner swears and fights and resents
an atmospheric temperature of l.V, degrees
and breeds en the contrast between his war
of life and the life of the promenade decks
far overhead.
Every one may dimly suspect that stokers
react in some such manner te the tribula
tions of the stokehold. But it im't light te
talk or think about it. It Isn't right te
talk or think of any imperfect or uiiple;isUnt
phases of life, say the men who would police
jour mind.
e
But. fortunately for America, it does net
submit easily te censorship. Leng age the
collective mind of the country established its
own highly intelligent censorship, it killed
dirty shows at the box office. It was grad
ually putting saloons out of business ,y ;i
purely rutiennl method. It was tee healthy
n mind te lie horrified by the -Jght of a prett'v
girl in ,i pretty bathing suit. It turned au au
tematlcall.v from unpleasant movies. jt

some fears and suspicions direi teil against
ever.v iheerful manifestation of rational
human impulse It wasn't made s( ; ail(j
afraid b.v ihe sight of jeuthful gajetj.
We get along fairly well for about a ,n.
dred years without having our n.iiienii! mind
official! censored und policed by amateurs
When we are unable te 'enMnue we
shouldn't depend en amateurs. should
engage a tyrant of our choice ;,wl pm a
crown en him and let it go ut that.
MORE CO TO JAIL
Till: Federal courts are doing then- Ust

The latest te lie convicted and get a jail
sentence is William I'. Headlej, former
prohibition agent, who must 'sen,. ,.jv

with him nnd each gets a jail sentence.

will be felt all summer.
LEAGUE AND ARMED EUROPE
SOMBER notes nre struck by the League
of Nations in im exhaustive Inquiry of
armaments in member nations. The special
commission engaged In this work will pre
sent Its final lcpert at the September meet
ing of the association, but nlrendy enough
lias been learned te discredit the possibility
of important militnr.v i eductiens for the
fievl three or four jears.
It is estimated that a million mere men
are new under arms in Europe than just
before the war. In this reckoning the
Trench Army plajs a very considerable but
by no means an exclushe part.
Russian and Polish military forces swell
the figures .Greece Is engaged In an ex
hausting war which would have hetyi ranked
ns of the major order n decade nge. The
Spanish are campaigning in Morocco. Ex
panded Italy is involved in problem which
in her estimation presumably cnll for the
maintenance of large bodies of troops.
Britain is policing Palestine, l'ranee.
I'pper Sjrla. The Kemallst Ottomans are
still lighting, although whether Turkey
should be ranked as a European nation sug
gests a line point in geographical definition.
There is net an important nation which
I nor ready te jutif,v Its military mac lime.
But It is net se mm h excuses which the
League is seeking as pregres.
The investigators point out t liar b.v far the
most notable advance in disarmament I thei
result of the Washington Conference.
Since that convocation the American Gov
ernment lias ceased te disregard League
communications and helpful interchanges of
Information concerning disarmament details
have taken place between Geneva and
Washington.
As was frequently suggested during the
conference, its proceedings were calculated
te stimulate an association which the United
States rejected. Although there is consid
erable Irony in this view, it doe net detract
from the sincerity of the League's efforts
te promote the basic principle en which it
was founded.
The ill -success in Europe ! net with the
League as ir was conceived by its Atneilcnn
opponents. In this country the chief criti
cism of the International society was the
alleged rigidity of its constitution nnd its
se-called tendency te suppress national
identities. Yet it is new the weakness of
its machinery in operation of which the
member nations have taken militaristic ad
vantage. That fa ft and its lack of universality
have rendered the organization debilc.
Peine and disarmament in Europe are con
ceivable when controlled by a strong and
all-embracing league which American isola
tionists feared. The irony In the situation
is net entirely one-sided.
THE GENOA TORCH
JT1HE convenient metaphor of "handing en
X. the torch te 'Hie Hague" served te
biighten the finale at Genea in a fashion
scarcely anticipated during the frequent
crises of the cenfeience. Huejed b.v the
thought of still another tussle with destiny.
Mr. I.levd Geerge Is exhibiting n charac
tensile revival of spirits and insists that
the sessions have gathered "fine crops."
While it Is doubtful that such resiliency
is shared by all his confreres, the new at at at
tuospliere of comparatively modest hopes is
net necessarily te be deplored. All the
Powers, including even Russia, have ap
parently been sobered nnd chnstcned by the
grueling experience at Genea.
Italy, for instance, Is en the verge of
negotiating n commercial treaty with the
Soviet Republic. Tlieie is no secret about
these proceedings, which are te he concluded
at Rnpulle. Sister nations refrain from
viewing .tlicni with alarm; no treason has
been Imputed. Calm prevails along the
Llgiuinn Coast.
The situation suggests that a long-needed
sense of proportions has te some extent
been awakened. Whatever happens at The
Hague, the high pitch of emotionalism of
the early ilajs at Genea seems unlikely te
prevail when the new experiment is Inunched
en June -d. The proposed eight months'
truce between Russia and the associated
nations, exclusive of Germany, which has
made a previous arrangement with Moscow,
may lie called a timid step forward, but it is
something. Its main alue lies in the pos
sibilities of its extension.
On the whole, and despite its serious limi
tations, the Genea c eiifereiue may he reck
oned a sulutnry school for excitable diplo
matists. Whether or net it should be ac
counted "the most remarkable conference
in the history of the world" depends largely
en one's taste for I.levd Georgian hyperbole.
A Washington cerre-
Spliiiiing the spendent has made the
Tep Minnow "epochal discovery"

fact that this epochal discovery bus bei n
made by some correspondent en an nveruge
of once every six mouths for some jear.s

ROHERT W. HAIGIIT, chief of the
Legislative Bureau of the Pennsylvania

for ihe follewing:
"A cursory conversation was In progress
en the subject of spiritualism among some
friends of mine the dny after the disastrous
election. It was en the subject of Sir
Arthur Cennn Deyle's lectures in this city.
"One of the participants was n widely
known Stale politician, who wns decidedly
skeptical en the bitbject of communication
with the departed. He had gene down with
the rest In the Alter catastrophe.
"He declined te accept the assurances of
the distinguished British spiritualist that
he and his friends had been in personal
touch with these who hnd passed Inte the
ether life.
"I'inally my friend, the politician, said:
" 'There's only one thing that would ever
convince me that there's anything in this
spiritualist stuff.
" 'If Cenan Deyle or any of his peeple
can get Inte communication with Penrose
and ask him what he thinks of this mess
that the Organization in the State has get
itself Inte, or if he can tell us hew in hell

Philadelphia In the pnt has never failed

The lust thing of the kind, which wns
of nation-wide Interest, was. the Republican
National Convention of 3000. which at
tracted un estimated quarter of n million
strangers from all ever the country.
There were very few complaints of Inade
quate accommodations or extortionate prices.
After the captains and kings of politics
had departed, the Baltimore American hud
this te say editerially:
"Philadelphia has shown a true hospl hespl

Republican National Convention will long
remember with great pleasure the week they
spent in the great metropolis of the Kev
stone State.
"Hultlmeie extend te her hearty con
gratulations en her success in entertaining
one of the greatest political gatherings ever

IT HAS always been .1 weakness of our
neighboring and rival cities te point out
Philadelphia's derelictions In every way pos
sible. New. Yerk abandoned the foolish and
jealous practice twenty years' age.
Before thnt. however, say a generation

NOW MY IDEA IS THIS!
Daily Talks With Thinking Philadelphia en Subjects They
Knew Best
MRS. JULIET WHITE GROSS
On the Results of Artists' Week
ARTISTS' WEEK proved by tiie results,
which are already apparent, te have
been n tremendous success from many stand
points, according te Mrs. Juliet White
Gress, secretary of the movement nnd one
of the lenders In art matters in Philadel
phia. "The pieparatien for the work done
during Artists' Week," said Mrs. Gress,
"was with the fundamental Idea et showing
te phllndelphliins what a tremendous civic.
asset the city lin lu its art, in the present
ns well as In its great traditions et the past.
This has been accomplished te a far greater
degree than these who had It in charge pared
even te hope. This wns the immediate aim,
but much of the preparation had the besqul
Cenlennlal of 102(1 also In mind.
Tin !,..,,).( vntrnninl should be ex
ploited as the work of the whole "world and
the arts should have n prominent place
therein. Philadelphia has in its art work
as a whole that Is. in all branches of the
tine arts resources whjch ere fully eh great
as these of its commerce, nnd this fact
should be fully recognized by these who
have the exhibition in charge.
Movement lias Spread Rapidly
"The Artists' Week held In Philadelphia
was the first ever held lu Ibis country and. si.
far as these who had It in charge knew,
was the first te he held In the world. e
succeeded in showing our ewmcity what an
asset we linve here in its art. und ether cities
have taken the cue and are already following
the lend which Philadelphia has given them.
We have received biters from all ever ,llii)
t'nlted States asking the details of the
movement, and It is certain thnt Artists
Week will be observed next year In most of
the lnrge citicH of the country and many of
the smaller ones.
"The movement has also been taken up
bv the American Federation of Arts, and
Mr. Doeuer, who was president of Artists'
Week here, has been In Washington this
week explaining hew It was done and what
has been accomplished. The Federation wilj
tnke up the movement witli the idea in mini
of making it a national affair, and next car
It is te be expected that a 'week' will be
observed all ever the country. The National
Federation bus ihe organization and the
position te put through such a movement,
and it shows every Indication of doing se.
"The example of Philadelphia In this
respect will certainly be followed by New
Y'eik nnd ether gieat art centers next jear.
Our Artists' Week seems te, have awakened
the whole count rv te the possibilities of
American art. and the natural ns well us
the local effects aie bound te be widespread
and te act as a stimulant in art cultivation.
Getting It lulu the Hemes
"Art. in our sense of the wefd, had Ikmii
under some disadvantages us compared with
some of the ether media of artistic cNpres cNpres
sieii. The secret of an aitlstle country Is
te get tlie arts into the homes of the people,
and this was one of the tilings which wu
had in mind in Artists' Week. Music has
had tlm tulklng machines, which have
familiarized people with the gieat tonal
masterpieces, but art has hud no such aid.
"We feel that much in this line was
accomplished by Artists' Week. It has
shown, us we hoped It would, the value of
small pictures in the home, teaching people
that thev aie a necessity nnd showing the
value and the henuty of living with such
manifestations of art. When this. Is once
accomplished there need be no cause for
worry ns te the artistic development of the
people; that will come as n matter of i nurse,
just us It has come in mu-lc.
Frem the Business Standpoint
"Artists' Week may also be censldeieil u
success from thuMundpelnt of the husnics
men who helped te make it an actuulity.
One of tlm iest prominent of the Chestnut
street business men has voluntarily assured
us that, te use his own words, 'Artists'
Week did mere for business in a week than
the commercial organizations have done lu
ten j ears.' I
"This year was nn experiment, of course,
ami none of us knew what the reaction
would he either te urt Itself or le the
business men who allowed spa,.,, j,, ).,,.
windows for the uirieiis exhibits. There
fore, we aie very glad that It bus Miinie I
ut se siillsfacterllj te tin-in as well as tu
us. Many of them have alieady assured us
that next year we can get anything that
we want for the week. Ireiu the verv great
mujerlty of them we hud the heartiest co
operation this year, and naturallv we feel
much mere confidence ln,vyhut later chib.
tlens of the sumo sort will mean tu them

a a symbol of a new- era of peace and pros,
perily and that there Is a great opportunity
after the terrible upheaval of the greatest
war Ihat the world has ever known. But
a large amount of preparation te this end
is necessary.
"Already a movement Is en feet te aid
In the education and the artistic stimula
tion of the children nf the city. There will
be meetings especially arranged for the
school teachers, when they will be Invited
te come te some appointed place nnd listen
te addresses by nrllsts, who will explain te
Ihein the best manner of giving this kind
of Instruction te the children tinder their
charge.
"Tills is a concrete movement and ! one
of the definite, outgrowths of Artists Week.
It Is hoped te educate the children in such
matters as bu.vlng the right kind of artistic
gifts nnd by this and similar measures teach
them the fundamental principles of art.
Next Year's Artists' Week
"In our own city a permanent organiza
tion is new being formed te carry forward
the movement' which wns se auspiciously
begun here this year. The American Fed
eration of Aits will take up and curry the
burden of the national movement, as that
will be ten big for any one city te sustain
alone. Hut we in Philadelphia are liatiirnllj
proud of having originated what bids fair
new te become u nationwide niejcment. and
we shall de ever, thing possible te make our
next Artists' Week an improvement ever the
first.
"The Philadelphia artists feel Ihat they
have helped materially te establish what wu's
ii very necessary thing. There are many per
sons who have never been really In touch with
art and would never att'end art exhibitions
because they felt them te be tee austere.
Much of this feeling has been overcome bv
the Informality of Artists' Week, which was
really an art exhibition except that the ex
hibition was brought te the people instead
of requiring them te go te the exhibition.
In thousands of cases It lias, removed a
misconception as te the ends a'nd the real
meaning of an. and in the accomplishment
of this it has served a worthy purpose for
the cause of art, for the sutists and for the
people themselves."
