Since Peary gained the world's end. north, and Amundsen himself the hoinelo geus spot en the ether side of the glebe, polar exploration has taken en a new and, en the whole, a conservative character. The spirit of epic adventure remains, stout lirnrls are still Milled for in' the quest, but exaggeration of alms and ever-coloring of the mjstrrle.s le be solved have censed. The departure of the auxiliary powered schooner Maud from Seattle, .fixed for yes terday, means the commencement of a scru pulously scientific btirvey of far northern' sras. Captain Amundsen, who will join the sturdy little vessel at Neme, Alaska, intends If possible te carry out the leiig-ilicussed project of drifting with the Arctic current ever (lie top of the world, of charting what was formerly called the "Open Pelar Sea," of collecting data en the movements of its Ire Hee, en tiie flora and fauna of the North Krlgld Zene and of tracking the fate of the many ships caught for half a century and mere In the grip of this frozen region. Pelar research is hardly less adventurous than in the past, notwithstanding the Im provement of equipment, but it can new be regarded with a sense of proportionate values.

McCUMBER AS A FILM STAR IN A NEW SENATE TRAGEDY Trickery and Emotionalism, Rather Than Reason, Ruling the Cam paign for the Soldier Benus THHKtt may have been In the unlamented past of national politics a drearier and mere shameless system of maneuvering than that te which Senater MeCumber has re sorted te crowd the Soldier Benus Bill through the Senate today. If there was we cannot remember It. Frem MeCumber and his pals in Congress nil reason seems te have fled with all sense of humor and political decency. The squalor of their present situation has seldom been matched in Washington. Fer it must always be remembered that the Senater from North Dakota and his bund nre fighting net se much for the welfare of ex-service men as for themselves. There Is evcr thing te indicate that they believe thoroughly in the political value of persistent demonstrations in favor of the bonus. Se It is te strengthen MeCumber nnd his friends that the fleer of the Senate is te be turned Inte n stage upon which the bonus supporters may march and rear with a background of American Hags and an hon orary escort assljned by the officers of the American Legien. New. there are pretty geed reasons te be lieve that the Senate as a whole Is stub bornly prepared te talk the Benus Hill te death and It Is difficult te imagine that Me Cumber himself Is unaware of what Is hap pening. The spectacular departure from Senate routine planned and rehearsed by the MeCumber group Is obviously for the benefit of the movie camera men. The pic tures will be broadcast in doubtful con gressional districts. And it is for this that ex-service men have lieen persuaded te abandon the rules of geed taste and appear In uniform en the Senate fleer se that a few politicians mny mere effectually carry tiie tactics of the backwoods stump Inte seats of government. What will the rank and file of World War veterans, who urc net .vet converted te the bonus Idea, say of tills use of the Legien's prestige? What will be the ultimate effect of this unprecedented demonstration upon Commander MacNider's organization? These queries uie diverting enough. Hut the most Important question raised by Me Cumber's sudden spectacular debut as a film star is tills; s emotion rather than reason te govern this country forever? McCiimlier knows ns well as an hoc! tlmt the deliberated opinion of the Senate and the President is antagonistic te the bonus plan in Its present form. Se lie is willing te tight logic with emotionalism in the Senate and among service men and the electors at home. Repeatedly and, we believe, rightly, it has been insisted in these columns that a ma jerity of the veterans of the World War is net behind the bonus project. There was little .sentiment for the bonus in the Amer ican Legien mil II some of the groups at the head of the organization went seeking a motive thai could be depended en te keep the Legien Intact and enlarge it as a na tional force likely te lip a very potent unit in politics. Such bonus sentiment as is new- apparent in the Legien was for the most part aiti- hcially created. The demand did nel come originally from the ranks. jt came from the top. And It came at a time when the directors of the Legien's policy were salting a lnrge new membership and endeavoring te stimulate fresli interest in me old. Yet, If Senater Mi Cumber reads the newspapers he ought te Knew h.v this Mmi the bonus as a political cry will get no one .ery far. largely because war veterans are nor yet content te be grouped as a voting bloc .separate from the rest of the country and In some wajs antagonist ie t0 it .r". Iturke In Pennsylvania was nn outspoken bonus ndvecate. Me was beaten In Mr. Pepper, nn outspoken opponent. In 'jn (liana Mr. Heverldge ran against Senater Harry New. who expected te lie re-elected by the soldier vote because he nremlscil te get the bonus through at any cost. The soldier vote helped te defeat him and te elect Heverldge. What, then, Is Senater MeCumber trvinc le de with a Legien escort en the fleer of the Senate and (lags lifted ever his head and meving-plrture cameras whirring, where the country has n right te expert temperatP ness, courage and cool nnd patient reason ing? Dees he hope te stampede! the Spiintn nnd force the burden of an unpleasant dutv upon President IJnrdlng, who would almost certainly veto a Benus Hill that does net embody nny plan te obtain the necessarv three or four billion dollars of extra rev' enue? Hardly, because the Senate will net be stampeded. .ii r. ."ice cciciinT wnnis te gpt In the pp. tures. Seemingly, he is willing te kid the ex-soldiers if he is net kidding himself, t is tills suggestion of reckless insincerity tlmt makes Ills scheme for a demonstration en the Senate fleer a thing te inspire awe and wonderment nnd fresli doubts about the quality of the minds that rule In Congress. TEARS FOR WHAT ISN'T SO AS A commentuler en the International scene, William K. Berah is apparently never happy unless he is miserable. The latest picture of gloom painted by the dr. termined obstructionist concerns the status of the neven treaties negotiated at the Washington Conference In the tone of "Had chut -heeded -my. warnings things-would have-been -differ ent," the Senater from Idaho points out Hint while the United States has ratified every pact, China alone of all the Powers lias followed suit, and tills only with re spect te two of tiie instruments. What is behind this discrimination upon which Mr. Boren cannot dwell without shuddering? Haa China. BUDMMeU? once our frleiwl i.. 1 Iii ifnacMJI) l , . 'JR&v.Wii'! . - v vs 'vsa.;'w,r m EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER-PHILADELPHIA, the ether foreign nations which blttercnd ers in virtuous America se profoundly dis trust? While ll may offend the rules of melo drama te present problem nnd solution almost simultaneously, the secret of China's alleged misbehavior is net quite dark enough te resist the ravages of truth. Fer the fact Is that the Peking Government was a party te only two of the Washington treaties the one rplallng te the principles "and poli cies te be followed by the eight ether na tions in Clilnn unci the pact concerning the Chinese customs tariff. It is no mere possible for China te ratify tlip ether tlve treaties than It is for it te Interfere in the Tncna-Arlrn negotiations new under wa.v between Chile and Peru. If tills be treachery te the spirit of the Washington Conference, Mr. Berah mny be expect eil te make the most of It, just ns Senater ".llm" Reed capitalized his mls mls represenlntlen of the Pour-Power Pacific Treaty te the point of nbsurdlty. It may be recalled that the marplot from Missouri llatl.v asserted that the quadri partite instrument did net provide for the abrogation of the Angln-.lnpanese covenant. When it was demonstrated that explicit prevision for terminating Ihe compact was contained in the treaty. Mr. Heed confessed that he had "overlooked it." Though it may be deemed temporarily convenient, it is in the end embarrassing for pututive statesmen te have weak pyes nnd uncertain memories. Se Mr. Berah's agonies ever what isn't are, of oeiirsp, an old story. It is net, therefore, surprising that he is viewing China with alarm and is forecasting the rejection of the treaties by Japan and the western Kurepean nations. Tiie fact that indications point te the ratification of all the compacts nnd that the British Admiralty hns already antiel pated ratification b.v taking steps te diminish I lie personnel of the nnv.v, break up a num ber of ships nnd reduce the stores of am munition constitutes no check upon the lnmentatiens of this Jeremiah. Mr. Berah will weep even at the expense of truth. MISTAKE OF THE MINERS THE refusal of the representatives of the coal miners te consent te the plan of the anthracite operatives for the appoint ment of a commission or tribunal by the President te find a way for bringing about a resumption of work in the mines and a prevention of future suspensions of work was a grievous mistake. A meeting of the Scale Committee, nt which Mr. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers, will be present, is te be held nt Hazleton tomorrow te consider the mat ter further. T'nless the miners wish te for feit public sympathy, without which they can succeed in nothing, they will reconsider their refusal nnd consent te the request that the President appoint his commission. There never has been n thorough inquiry into nil the facts involved in the mining and sale of anthracite. Such inquiries hnve been undertaken in this State, but they never have produced nny satisfactory results. Se many chnrges of se many kinds have been bandied about concerning the methods of the operators and their relation te the rail road companies and their treatment of the miners that no one knows the truth, and every one suspects both the operators and the miners of concealing essential facts. There is n growing sentiment in fnver of Government control of the mines, which, unless something Is done te prevent a re currence of strikes dud eeal shortages und exorbitant prices, is likely te become strong enough te bring about governmental netien. The anthracite operators are avvure of this. But they de net care te have the Govern ment take their business away from them. But they have confidence enough in the Gov ernment te justify them in accepting any plan which it mny suggest for bringing order in the nnthrncite business. Tills feeling Is doubtless what indi 1 S. D. Wnrrlner te say that "we place ourselves unreservedly in the hands of the President without strings or qualifications." If the operators can trust the President with their right te n fair ptefit, the miners certainly should be willing te trust him vvilh an adjudication through an impartial commission of the disputes regarding wages and conditions of work. The public-, which is the vital party in interest in the dispute, is willing that the miners should be paid a fair wage and thnt the operators should make a fair profit, but it is convinced thnt when it lias In pay $14 a ten for anthracite something is wrong somewhere. It would like le have the wrong removed, and it can see no way out save through some such plan as that proposed by the operators. When President Roosevelt intervened in 1!MC he had te force tiie operators te con sent under threat of losing control of their mines. The miners and their organization profited by the award of the Roosevelt com mission, the operators lest nothing nnd the whole country was benefited. There is everv reason for believing tlmt a .similar salutar'v result would fellow an investigation bj the (imposed Harding commission. It is accepted us a matter of course that Secretary Hoever would lie a member of the commission. He is a mining expert, ex ex perienced in large enterprises, and lie has a sense of public responsibility strong enough te prevent him from forgetting the interests of the whole people, consumers as well as miners and operators. He deublless already has much Information at Ids command Whin he has been doing ws indicated when it wns announced fiem Washington n Sat urday that lie was prepared at once le send te the Senate the information concerning the bituinlneub situation sought in n reU,.i. lien passed en 1'rida.v directing him te In vestignte and report as seen ns possible en the coal strike and its effect en consumers All that lie has te de is te put the data at hand into the shape of a report. It is evident that Mr Hoever hns been functioning as Secretary of Commerce. Any report made by a coiumisijien under liu, ,j. rectien would have the confidence of the public. t. ; . WHO WILL GET IT?

' i,; T- ,r 'I'" NOW MY IDEA IS THIS! Daily Talks With Thinking Philadelphia en Subjects They Kneiv Best THOMAS EVANS On Americanization Plans of American Legien ONI'! of the most important of the oppor tunities new before the American Legien Is thnt of spreading ns widely as possible the ideals of our country through Ameri canization work, says Themas Evans, who hns taken a very active part in the Ameri canization program of that organization, and who is State chairman of the Committee en Scheel Awards. "This idea originated vvilh the Pennsyl vania Legien," said Mr. Kvans, "and In each of mere than "00 s-choels In the Stale n boy will achieve during Ihe present month the distinction of receiving the first annual award of the Legien. The Iclen has received the enthusiastic approval of the Pennsyl vania school authorities, and is known all ever, the country as the Pennsylvania plan. it is designed te stimulate the study of American institutions ns well ns of ideals and will make very largely for churncter building. "The American Legien ns organized is capable of being a very useful factor In the country, ami It represents mere faithfully than any oilier organization the reul senti ments of the American ex -soldiers of the grent war. The membership of the Legien !h, roughly, 1,(100.00(1 out of the 4,000.000 soldiers from our ceuntr.v who saw service. Many Important Questions "Of the many important mntters before the American Legien, that of bringing about the greatest amount of education and the most thorough understanding of Amcrlcnn ideals is perhaps the greatest. Only through education can the general relations between peoples be heltered, and this applies both te the relations between ourselves nnd for eign countries ami te these between man and man here at home. "It mny even lie that the Legien can lie an important factor in making future wars Impossible by making the people understand just what war means. When they de un derstand tliis, iis a whole there will lie no mere war. because in every country the leader-, both political and military, are powerless against the expressed wishes of the nation. "Kducullen will solve this problem, for as long as theie is widespread Ignorance there will he strife. If the American Legien lives up te its high purposes of belter edu cation and better living conditions, it can exert a bcneliclnl influence which will be felt for scores If net hundreds of jears. Will i'Atend (lie Werk "Fer the present, at least, we shall work along the Americanization plans ns thus far outlined. If a better nxjUiswl develops it will be .adopted and cm-ricd'thruugh. We hope te extend the work inter te start night schools where they are needed, and we arc also working en a plan le revise the natural ization laws, se as te demand a higher plane of intelligence and literacy before admitting a foreign -born person te American citizen ship. "At present we rcuuire our own ,n,,,i. , attend school until they are at least six teen years of age, hut we' will take a mnu front another ceuntr.v who cannot even speak our Jaiiguage and with a modicum of educa tion admit htm le nil the rights and privi leges of American citizenship. "Certain events have developed reeentlv which lime led the public le believe tlmt the Legien is largely composed of men who are seeking a selfish end, but I de net think for a moment that tills is true of the vast ma jority of lis members. In this, as ln all ether matters, the country is thn Jurv nn all must cheerfully abide by its decision. Kducate the Youth "The American Legien has certain cur rent aims which ll Is pursuing--the emnlnv men! of the ex-seldlcrs, the training of the,,", for tilting occupations, the ,.rp ()f ,'," "' disabled in the war.

T-Jrf 21 1922 "IT AIN'T POLITE TO INTERRUPT!" Throughout the State of Pennsylvania the Amcrlcnn Legien pests will nward the medals te one boy in each of the public grammar schools and prlvnte schools of like 'character in its jurisdiction. In Philadel phia, due largely te the energy nnd enthu siasm of Dr. Ward Brlnten. who has done se much for the control nnd elimination of tuberculosis In the city and throughout the State, the great majority of the pests of Philadelphia will he able te nward the medals in the schools this month. "This medal will be awarded annually te the boy in tiie graduating class who shall be chosen as the most worthy of the honor, nun no award shall be made te any class which has net at least ten boys eligible for selection in It. The class In schools ether than public from which selections will be made shall he the class which corresponds substantially in curriculum with the gradu ating class In the public schools. Attributes for Award "Four elements enter into the selection of the medal -win n lug boy. First, his scholastic attainments; second, his fondness for and success In sports; third, his qualities of manhood, truth, courage, devotion te duty, sympathy for nnd protection of the weak, klndl ness, unselfishness and fellowship, und fourth, his exhibition of moral force of character and his Instincts te lead nnd te take an interest in his schoolmates. "Fer the first of these characteristics .'!0 per cent will be marked, for the second '20 per cent, for the third HO per cent nnd for the last '2D per cent, making, of course, 100 per cent in all. ".'t'8 t!!(,,l''lfPO'.', of the Legien that this medar shall lie preserved in the home of the boy winning it ns a permnr.ent token of honor and merit. Te this end he will aNe be given a button with a miniature of the reverse face of the medal, which he may wear en his coat. It is ih.. ilnii-u r , i. Legien te thus stimulate the study aud 1'ni.miiiiKi- .viiicricanizatien in every school of the State, and from the manner in which the idea is being adopted by ether Stntes It seems nel unlikely that it seen will spread all ever the country."
