A "THIRD PARTY" OF WOMEN HAS NO CHANCE OF SUCCESS New Voters Are Bound te Act Through the Old Parties, as They Have Dene In Pennsylvania VTO UUASO.V was assigned bv l'lesuleiit ' Harding for bis decision te remain awu from the dedication of the headquarters of the .National Weman's Part) In Washing ton en Sunday. It may well be. however, that he had de cided nfter accepting the Invitation te be present thnt It would be Inexpedient for the ntGclal head of the Itepublli'iin Partv te give bis blessing te another party. In his letter of regret he expressed his giatlficatien that the women had been en franchised and bis hope "that the larger op portunity for American womanhood will be marked by the highest ideal, lefty patriot Ism, noble Inspirations and great geed te our common ieuutr." The leaders of this Weman' Party tire committed te the preposition that no part In which men are influential can be trusted te de anything for the women. One of them said en Sunday that "the Weman's Party recognizes that the position of women throughout the world N an Inferior one, and In most countries a degraded one, and that the organized effort of women themselves Is r.ecessary te raise tbem from this position." And Mrs. O. II. P. Helment. the recognized head of the party, declared that It was en tering en Its work with a "determination te come before the governing powers as dicta tors, net as beggars." It Is unfortunate that these women hove net Informed themselves a little mere com pletely about the nature of American po litical institutions and have net thenght a little mere deeply about the fate of class movements In the United State. The Weman's Party Is frankly a party founded en the theory of ses hostility. It arrays the women against the men. It as sumes in spite of much evidence te the con trary that Legislatures made up of men can not be trusted te puss laws for the protec tion of women. As a matter of fact, the constitutional amendment enfranchising women was ratified by Legislatures elected by men and com posed of men. If there bad been any dis position te be unjust te women the amend ment would never have been ratified. Still further, .many States have laws regulating the hours of labor of women and children, passed in response te n definite public senti ment, and paed, tee, by Legislatures com posed of men. Further laws may be neces sary before the rights of women are whellv recegnised, but there Is no reason te believe that they will net be passed as their need becomes apparent. The laws will be framed, tee. b intelligent women acting with In telligent men through either the Republican or the Democratic Party, whichever happens te be in power at the time. But when Mrs. Belmont talks about the women going "'before the governing powers as dictators, net as beggars." she shows a woeful ignorance of the nature of the gov erning powers In the I'nited States. The school children are taught that this Is a government of the people and that the people through jheir elected representatives decide what laws shall be passed. The women themselves are part of the governing power new that they have the vote. Dictation is out of place In a deniecracv. Before any law can be passed a majority of the people must be persuaded that It is a geed law. It may be that the Wemnn's Partv thinks that It ran dictate te the He- publican partj or te the Democratic Party, but if se It will very seen discover Its error. I What the Democratic Tarty supports is de- ' cided by Its members, both men nnd women. And what the Republican Party will sup port Is decided In the same way. We have just hud an Illustration of the way It works In this State, when- the Re- I publican women In large numbers decided that they ilid net want te vote for Alter, a , candidate for the governorship who had been selc. ted bv three or four men without con sultation with them or with anv one else. They went te the polls at the pilmary elei -tlen and voted for i'incbet and voted In suf- ' ticient numbers te bring about his nomina tion. The Republican women of Tennsyl- , anla would -mile derlslvelv at any one who ' told them Unit iliev ec. upj an inferior pol pel pol tieu. The theei-v ihui woman an bold the bal ance of power between the two parties u at tractive ie many. Men have held the same theory, but they have never been able te ap ply It lu practlie. The number of men se judicially minded that they can keep aloof from purrlxuu contests and e politically in (rented th.tl they have definite desire en public issues has seldom been large enough le iifiect an ele.tlen. Tlieie Is no leiiMili for believing iliat the women aie consti tuted that the.v can de in ibis direction what the men have been unable te de. Women with a sense for the actualities will at through and with one of the existing parties made up of men and women alike. They knew thai as fast as thev develop political capacity they will be admitted te the councils of these panics, and the.v knew, tee, that the test of their capacities will be the same as lhal which is applied te the men. Te demand that a woman be ee. ted le office merely because she Is a woman is as preposterous as te demand that a woman shall be allowed te run a locomotive drawing an express train merely becnue she is n woman. The women who really want te accom plish things will be tee busy with their work te pay ranch heed te what the Weman's .Na tional Party Is doing.

GUERRILLA GOVERNMENT LOBBYISTS for the mere reckless and sinister seekers after special privilege first introduced the tirts of blackmail into the business of government nt. Washington. Thete i hardly a member of Congress who doesn't knew that every detail of his public and pilvate life has been fccrutlnl.ed by lebbjlsts' agents, who seek means te apply methods of terrorism in the Heuse, and even In the Senate when an emergency arises te nITect the interest tif their em ployers. Large organizations of se-railed detective have fattened en this work in the xery shadow of the Capitel. The degree te which secret pressure from blackmailers has come te affect legislation Is net easy te es timate. But It Is considerable. The men are few who -would net flinch at the sugges tion of elaborate propaganda machinery set In motion te magnify some forgotten inci dent of a miner 0rt and give it color and significance of a scandalous character. Xew It Is being reported in Washington that organized blackmail Is being generally applied ever a pretty wide aie.l te impede the investigation of war-cenlriict graft con templated by the Attorney (jenerul's office. Mr. Datigherty lilmclf is said te have been threatened with "exposures" designed te prove that, In his capacity as a lawyer, he rendered somewhat doubtful service te in dividuals who may be publicly accused as malefactors. Yet. what Mr. Daugherty may 'have done for any of his clients before he entered the Cabinet can have no relation te the present case. If he Is courageous he will push the investigation which the Sen ate already has sanctioned. Otherwise he should resign. It is extremely probable that current re ports of war graft are exaggerated. There was terrific waste dining the years of prepa ration for active war and much of It could net-well be avoided in n country that had te get ready In record time for a life-nnd-denth struggle. But such deliberate fraud as was perpetrated against the Government ought te be exposed. It Is safe te suppose that the lobbyists in Washington are work ing twenty-four hours a day te prevent such exposure nnd te discourage all officials whose business It I te direct the investigation which the Senate has ordered. The moral of the situation Is an old one. Intelligent people will see nothing unfavor able te Mr. Daugherty in the hints of scandal that arc In the nlr of Washington. They will be mere interested in this fresh manifestation of n force organized for what might be called guerrilla government. They will feel again that an investigation of Washington it-elf, of the Innumerable groups that flourish without visible means of support in the big hotels and office build ings and of the whole system of modern lobbying Is long eveidue. it Is about time te drag cvery subsidized group of legisla tion makers out Inte the light of day, where the people may get a geed leek at It and j ntinl.v the causes unci interests tnat con tribute se lavishly te Its support. NORMALCY IN KANSAS GOVERNOR ALLEN believed mightily in the Industrial 'mrt established through his efforts "for the fair and peaceful ad justment of Industrial disputes " The In dustrial Court of Kaiisu may be fair. Doubtless it is. But It is by no means peaceful. Alexander Hewati, of the miners' union, was the tiiM te flout its authority. Hewatt was berated up and down the lund. nnd in Kansas ihty cnllcd him n Red and an Anarchist. New, however, it Is the em ploying group in the State that formally refuses te obey an order from the new court. Large groups of business men, objecting te n rule which fhey consider unfavorable, arc organizing te prove that the Industrial ludges have exceeded their constitutional autherltv by endeavoring te compel busi ness men te increase ihe pay of their em em plejes. What the eurt did was te formulate n minimum wage scale for many small indus tries nnd ask for It establishment through out Kansas. The scale would bring n wage Increase of about a dollar a week te un skilled workers. It was formulated largely in the Interest of women employed In unor ganized and unregulated industries, and the Industrial Court presented It as n necessity of the time. The Kansas experiment is getting en. Unquestionably the law which created the Industrial Court was a geed one as far as it went. But It was net enacted ft satisfy a popular majority demand. It was the work of an Innovator. The public that did net demand It labor men nnd employers ullkf have been unwilling te recognize the validity of Its purpose. It is ahead of the time. When we are wiser we may revert te the old method of action and wait until the public demands a law before that law is written upon the stutute books. There has been n tendency of lnte te adept nn opposite method nnd pass laws first and nsk for their popular support nftcrwaid. The editors of Lord leff, Amherst College's comic paper, ate new Raw Ones Are Panned "trying the experiment of doing without raw jokes and questionable pictures; net because the magazine needs re forming, but becnuse of "the lack of sym pathy with the trend toward indecency prevalent In many college humorous publi cations," Which, ha a bit of humorous writing, unconscious or otherwise, Isn't half bad as it stands.

GREAT fairs have been of common occur eccur renee all ever the world for the last three-quarters of a century. Mexico. India Rumelia, Siberia and Central America are some of the nations that have held interna tional fairs during thnt time. In point of curiosity it Is told that the French local fairs of tbe Middle Ages were often taken charge of by the local Bishop, who closed till ether places of business during the continuance of this fair, nfter which n large amount of its proceeds was turned ever te this dignitary. It was one of their privileges of the time. Fer fairs during the fifth century the King of the Franks nlone could grunt u charter.

"Perhap: the biggest single thing which was accomplished," said Mrs. Abbett, "was the bringing forward of nn immense number of the smaller musical groups of thefity nnd recognizing them as doing something for the work of spreading the gospel of geed jnusic. Many of these groups were brought into direct contact with each ether and with the League for the first time, and the results te all ure bound te be beneficial. It Is an In spiration and ii great satisfaction for one group which is doing a definite work nleng any especial mnslc.il line te find lu another or perhaps in an adjacent part of the cit another organization with the same general alms and ideals and for them te cempnre notes ns te the best manner of doing tbe work lu which both nie earnestly engaged. Will Help the Professionals "And light beie I want very much te make something clear which has been misunder stood bv some of the professional musicians of tlie city. That is that the Philadelphia Music League does, net intend in any man ner te trade upon the art by asking the pro fessional musicians of the city te deunte their services in either public or private cencertH. "It was enlv during Music Week that this was asked. We icallze very definitely thnt these men and women make their living in tills wnj, and that It Is net fair te them te ask that they give for nothing the lesults of long study and practice, thnt upon which the.v nre dependent for their living. "It is the purpose of the Music League le stimulate interest In music in every pos sible way, and tlie giving of the Kervieeg of se mnn f the Lest professionals during Music Week has, we feel, done much te thnt end. But it is the intention of the League, whatever conceits may be given under its ausidces next season mid all the seasons te come, te pn.v tjic piofesslennl lnuslcinns for their set vices. Ve also hope by this stimulation of music te increase materially tlie number of these who will take lessens from the professional musicians, buy tickets for their concerts unci lu ether ways add te tlie financial possibilities of the musicians who meke their living through their urt. Many Organizations Recognized "All of the organizations which offered their services; during Music Week had n splendid civic: spirit. The.v were nil anxious te help in the cause which they recognized as important te the best welfare of tlie city. Many organizations were thus brought before tbe public which had net previously had the advnntnge of much publicity nnd of whose very existence the general musical public hed little mere thun a vague Idea. "Many of these groups are doing a splendid work in their own sphere and a let of them proved te be musical organiza tions of n high order of performance ami understanding. They were willing te sing or piny nt any place which might be as signed te them. Seme of the best of these cjnne te our attention se late that It was difficult te provide a suitable place for them te appear, but we did the best we could under-thc circumstances, and in tlie end nil of them seemed te be satisfied. Their willingness te accept what we could give them In the nntuie of concert engagements and the fine spirit which they displayed were one of the noteworthy featuies of the Week. "The reaction of these groups toward the week and toward the musical atmosphere which they encountered nt the various con cert a was very favorable. Sometimes we had te assign a large choral body te n smaller hall than we liked, but they nil ac cepted nnd they were delighted with the re re ceptlen nccerded them mid the attention which they commanded from their audiences. The Wiielt In the Schools "One of the greut points back of Music Week was tlie matter of the public schools. We had this matter of bringing forward the best talent of the schools In mind fruni the start. Hew well that succeeded was shown lu ii report which Dr. Broeme uiudc te (h,. beard at the last meeting. He said that never In the experience of the teachers of Philadelphia bad music received such stlmu. ltitleu nnd insiiliutbin In the public schools nn during .Music Week. "All HertH of concerts wern given In the public schools, and the members of the Ttrleui high school orchestras, of which there nre quite a number in tbe city, were pleased te have the opportunity of showing the public what really excellent work the.v nre capable of doing. Seme of these took part In the public concerts and surprised these who heard them by the merits of the performances. The State Seng "Wc received ubeut 400 manuscripts which were submitted for the State of Pennsylvania song. Seme of the poems were really excellent and some of the musical settings were fair, but none of them came up te tbe standard which was de manded, where the song would make nn Irresistible appeal te these who tried it. and se none of them was selected. "With regard te tlie State song, we shall lmve te begin till ever again, but we realize that it would net be wise for us te present te the people of the State a song In whlcn wc ourselves did net have the fullest confi dence that it would be instantaneously ac cepted by them. We shall announce the conditions for this contest within a short time and hope te get n song which will an swer nil the requirements. "One instance where the program which was supplied brought the best possible re sults was thnt given at G'recn Lane, about forty miles from this city, by the Matinee Musical Club. The school there wanted u tnlklng machine and nsked us te supply a concert te which the.v might charge admit tance and perhaps raise the money. We did se nnd they turned out 500 in uttendance nud get their machine. But the real results were in the fact that they have established a permanent organization there, called the Scheel Improvement Association, which will work for a consolidation of the school In terests of the community with a bus line te mnkc transportation mere practicable. If Music Week can accomplish n few things of this sort in the State, there will be no doubt as te its permanency. Flue Werk of Organists "Willie nil the musical groups of the city were mere than willing te de whatever thev could te further the cause of Music Week, especinl co-operation was rendered bv the ergnnlsts, Mr. Henry S. Fry ami Dr. Ward, representing tbe two orgnnlzntlens. "The pageant which dosed the week was also very successful and made a fitting enq te what we consider n very successful first endeavor. The success of tblH is largelv due te Dr. Herbert .1. Tily. who wns the one person in tlie cl(y who was In a position te provide the things necessary te curry off this pageant. Next year we shall leek for much better things from Music Week, but we feel justified in being satisfied with the first week, which was, of course, largelv experimental." i What De Yeu Knew? !
