A FUNDAMENTAL OF THE FAIR
THK reelutiM0 dt'slgnetl te pledge tlic flty
te the rcfndemnatlnn of meh land a may
be cennldered nereefnry te round out the
fair Kite 1m In mifficlcntlr general terms te
corer the cpccltic project along the SrhuyN
kill which Jehn Frederick I.euln linn te
Strongly advocated. A program of this kind
presupposes a definite undereta'ndlng upon
what constitutes a nerensltj and what a
superfluity.
Various Interests new In control of both
.tanks of the river between Falrmeunt Dam
and Market street may be expected te ln
Ttlgh against any change from the prefect
Conditions.
Debates and pretests are perhaps un
avoidable. Phlladelphlans sincerely Inter
ested In the success of the exposition are
justified in desiring a curtailment of wrangling-
and the limitation, as much ns Is
humanly possible, of lamentation ever a
proposal which would redeem an important
central section of the city and establish the
fair enterprise as a splendid Instrument of
municipal pregresi.
Assuming for the moment that the fair
nd Its historical and national and Inter
national features are separable, the under
taking would be magnificently worth while
if Its iirremplNhment were restricted te the
destruction of eyesores along the Schuylkill
snd the rehabilitation of districts that have
for years retarded the growth of the com cem
Buntty and the proper utilization of its
own resources.
Members of the Fair Association are en
tirely aware that heusecleanlng along the
Bew unsightly river In Im.wratively needed.
The public, with the exception of pull-back
and die-hard elements and these obstruc
tionists concerned for the security of mis
placed stockyards, shambles nnd junk heaps,
unquestionably entertains a similar opinion.
Opposition from the railroads need net
ts Insuperable. Representatives of the
Baltimore nnd Ohie and the Heading were
acemingly placnted at the councilman!:
committee meeting when Mr. Lewis sug
gested the erection of concrete archways or
platforms above the trucks ever which fair
buildings and avenues could be built.
Thp speeding tip of action upon the
5,000,000 appropriation by Council is
assurance that the municipality Is officially
ready te assist in solving the financial prob
lems of the fair. National, State nnd city
aid will be multiplied in value if the Schuyl
kill is made fit for the great carnival In
which Philadelphia will serve as host te the
world.
Indeed, It may be said that the exposl expesl exposl
tlen will be disastrously handicapped unless
this wisely planned Improvement te the site
la authoritatively executed.
McCUMBER: PLAYBOY
DELIHKKATKI.Y and without n blush,
Senater Mcf'umber declared In the Sen
ate yesterday that IiIh Honus Hill jeuld be
made te work with "the Interest en our
foreign leans." Thnt is. he would have
ex-service men believe that they can get
bonuses te the nmeunt of about $4.000,000,
000 from the treasuries of F.urepe.
,Yet no one knows better than McCiimber
himself that, for the present nt least,
Europe is the last place te which any sane
man would leek for any grenrquantlty of
money.
Would the Senater reorganize the army
and send it abroad te cellivt the foreign
debt in order that bonuses might be paid''
yWeuhl he ask the ex-servlcc men te fight
anvfher war te get some slight money re
wards for the work they did in the war re
cently ended? Hardly.
5Ir. McCumber Is talking, as they say,
through his nose. He Is talking te be heard.
JIc Is making political medicine, resorting
te one of the crtielest nnd most reprehensi
ble campaigns of sophistry ever attempted In
Congress. He knows that the Senate will
aet pass his bill, and that If the hill were
passed the President would veto lr.
In Flerida at least the light has broken
upon the ex-seldlers. Representative W, J.
gears, who furiously attacked the McCum
ber theory and denounced It as hypocritical.
has just been reneminated with the help of
service men, who at first opposed him. The
lessens of the Ileverldge and Pepper vie vie
teries have been repented In Flerida. Mc
.Cumber has learned nothing of their slg
aUcance. Hut he will.

It Is desirable that the new Tariff Kill

of the debts of Europe te America depends
In a large measure en the maintenance of a

not tolerate any sort of a direct or Indirect

STATE COMMITTEE'S FATE
RESTS ON ACTION TOMORROW
The Election of General Miner ai Chair
man Will Put It In Harmony With th
New Movement In Republicanism
rpHK ability of the Republican State Com Cem
' mlttee te recognize accomplished facta
will be tested tomorrow when it meets te
elect a chairman.
These facts have no relation te the affilia
tions of the members of. the committee.
It is net of the slightest Importance that
ninety of them ere prepared te vote for W.
Harry Itaker for chulrmsn If ordered te
de It.
What would become of the committee If
it elected Raker chairman Is the matter
that should occupy the uttentlen of the men
who control it.
The committee Is the organization through
which the party Is supposed te speak. But
If It does net utter the will of the voters
Its eutgivings are meaningless.
The will of the voters was expressed when
Glfferd Pinchot was nominated for the
governorship ever Mr. Alter.
There was no contest worthy the name
ever the nomination of Mr. Pepper and Mr.
Reed. The men who voted for Pinchot voted
for Reed und Pepper.
Where the issue was clearly drawn be
tween Pinchot and the old machine, the old
machine was condemned by an adequate
plurality of the voters.
If the voters bad been content with the
old regime they would have nominated Alter.
The machine was repudiated In the only
way known te the voters te repudiate It
that Is, by rejecting the machine candidate
for the governorship.
It cannot be argued successfully that the
election of machine members of the State
Committee was nn indersement of the old
regime, for only the followers of the old
regime were interested enough In this detail
of party organization te vote for the candi
dates for the committee. v
The nomination of Pinchot was an un
mistakable mandate te the men in charge
of the organization te fellow a new leader.
Mr. Pinchot has given evidence of his
purpose te lead. He made his fight en the
Issue of a new deal, and every move that he
hus made since his victory, has proved that
he intends te keep faith with these who
voted for him.
His announcement that If the old and
nbherrent system of assessing State office
holders for campnlgn funds Is followed he
will Ignore the committee In conducting his
.ampalgn for election was inevitable.
He could de nothing else, because Raker
and the men who have trained with him
were repudiated at the primaries. The
things Mr. Raker stands for are the things
which the majority of the Republicans have
condemned by rejecting the candidate for the
governorship who wns committed te their
continuance.
If Raker Is elected Pinchot will have te
assume that the committee Is content te act
ns a rump nnd unrepresentative organization
of rejected dummies for defeated county
bosses.
He cannot tie himself up with it without
bet raj I tig the men who voted for him.
He will have te conduct his own cam
paign in his own way und raise the neces
sary funds and hatidle them without any
dealings with the committee.
And when he is elected Governer he will
have te enter Inte relations with the party
leaders In the various counties who sup.
ported him In the primary and leek te them
for political advice. ,
This will leave the old committee with
only such funds as the friends of Pepper
and Reed can raise and with no standing
next yeur In the Governer's office in the
State Capitel.
If this is what Raker and his friends
wish they can have It In full measure,
pressed down and running ever, for Pinchot
bus never shown any Indication te He down
when he had a fight en his hands.
If the committee Is wise, however. It will
face the facts and recognize Mr. Pinchot as
the new State leader, elected te that Ignition
by a plurality of the regularly qualified
voters, and It will ratify that election by
recognizing his right te name Its chairman
te conduct the campaign this year.
General Asher Miner, of Wilkes-Rarre.
whom Pinchot wishes te take charge of his
cumpalgn, is qualified for the chairmanship
of the committee. He Is n man of wide ex
perlence nnd demonstrated executive ability.
He Is in sympathy with the purposes of
Pinchot. He Is fair-minded und net dis
posed te make reprisals, and he Is ready and
willing te co-operate with every one who
will work sincerely with hlirf for accom
plishing the purposes that Pinchot has in
rnlnd and thnt the Republicans who voted
for Pinchot wish te have curried out.
There Is mere at stake for the committee
than for Pinchot In the action it takes te-
morrow. Plnchet's nomination is secure
and his election Is morally certain. And .he
is pledged te a course of procedure which
will from year te year Increase the power of
that wing of the party which has chosen
him for its prophet and leader.
If the committee wishes te face the past
and march backward Inte obscurity It will
elect naker. If it wishes te Jein the pro pre
cession which Is headed toward a broader
vision and higher ideals In public service,
net only In Pennsylvania but In ether
Stutes, It will unanimously elect General
Miner te the chairmanship.

YOUTH'S BIC JOB
YOUTH, said Dr. M. Carey Themas in
her notable valedictory at Bryn Mawr
yesterday, must save the world. There Is In
the assertion an Implication that maturity
and age have failed. And the frequency
with which tbe responsibility for world sal
vation is being put by inference and sug
gestion en the shoulders of the young of
these times Is suggestive of something very
like despair at the heart of elder genera
tions. At any rate, It Is geed te find In
formed people believing that there Is some
geed in the young after all and that youth
may be depended en te de mere than jax
itself and its world Inte black confusion.
Every one who makes a public address
nowadays seems te feel that the world needs
te be saved. But no one Is clear about the
thing or things that It muit be saved from.
War? Yes. War, as the mere anxious
publicists seem te see it, Is earth's crowning
affliction. Yet war In itself Is net a, dis
ease, but a symptom of deeper Ills about
which the diplomatic doctors are unable te
agree. The elder statesmen of whom Miss
Themas spoke bitterly are, In fact, a trial
rather than a help te Europe and te ether
parts of the world nearer home. They are
the doctors, and when doctors cannot meet
In a sickroom without flying at each ether's
threats there cannot be much hope for the
patient. New doctors ought te be called
in. Se Miss Themas would summon the
genius and courage and generosity of youth
te a task that science and scholarship seem
unable te perform.
The doctors themselves are Indeed griev
ously sick with greed and pride and Incur
able selfishness. They are fevered and Ir
rational. And yet It isn't quite safe te
suppose that thfc world can get along about
Its affairs without assistance from these
who acquire knowledge through experience.
Amateur statesmen are always getting
themselves and ethers Inte trouble. Rus
sia Is pretty clear proof of what will fellow
upon experiments In what you might call
Instinctive government. Youth, therefore,
can greatly Influence government for the
better. But It cannot govern. Youth can
not be expected te be wise, even If It does
knew many valuable and beautiful things
that age has a habit of forgetting.
What the world seems te need, therefore,
Is a Society for the Better Education of
Mature and Elderly Gentlemen and Ladles.
It might be said with a great deal of truth
that deficient education is the first cause of
nil the afflictions nnd woes of modern so
ciety. In a truly educated world, war, for
example, would be Impossible. Poverty
would net be permitted te exist. Hatred
would be outlawed and its sources quaran
tined as carefully and rigidly as a small small
pet area. Ne one In such an age would
believe that money and material possessions
could ever be the measures of success or as
surances of anything approximating happi
ness. Rut education is still In a primitive
state. It still tends te ever-develop the In
dividual ego and te eipand and fix purely
selfish ambitions. It Is tee often a stimu
lant te futile and even violent pride. In
Germany It was used as a process of dehu dehu
mnnlzatlen. If youth would save the world It must,
therefore, force something of Its natural
geed will and Its bright Instinctive wisdom
Inte the educational system. It could make
a geed beginning by acclaiming men like
William James when, occasionally, such
geniuses hnppen nleng. It should net let
any formalist assume te put blinders upon
the eyes of Its soul. And It should remem
ber one gallant hope expressed by Miss
Themas herself a hope for nn everlasting
freedom of speech and thought and criti
cism In universities and out of them. With
out that sort of freedom no ether freedom
could continue for a generation. The gag Is
the first weapon of every tyrant. It makes
the use of all ether weapons of political and
social oppression safe and easy.
AN ARBITRATION FAILURE
THE adjournment without date of the
Chile-Peru conference In Washington
restores the long-standing Tacna-Arlca con
troversy back te precisely the stage occupied
before the meeting was culled.
The Chilean delegates have held out for a
literal execution of the plebiscite terms of
the Treaty of Ancen, consenting te applica
tion of the arbitration principle only with
respect te the conditions of holding the vote
Peru, as has been the case for thirty years',
regards the proposal as Impossible, since
the disputed province once hers are new
largely Inhabited by Chileans.
The sole point upon which agreement was
reached wns that a method of accommoda
tion should be found whereby the I'nlted
States should serve as arbiter.' In view of
the deadlock, this Is like suggesting the
erection of n house without foundations
It was te end conflicts of this kind that
the mandatory powers of the League of Na
tions, were devised. Optional arbitration Is
no cure whatever for International Ills If
both parties te the dispute are obdurate and
unwilling te admit compromise as a basis
"The saving ware "
Merely Opening said Secretary of Laber
the Subject Davis, addressing the
. . . National Association of
Music Merchnnts. "means net only savins savins

noted, is a wage that will permit a worker

Impossible te standardize it as It Is aecu

a habit of becoming necessities and the

AS ONE WOMAN SEES IT
"Net Werk but Devotion," Said Rec Rec
eor He Watched MacmennleY
' Werk en Statue te te Dedi
cated Today
By SARAH D. LOWRIE
THE propaganda for disarmament, eagerly
as It Is being backed bv hundreds and
even thousands of devoted souls, depends
largely upon argumentsvaddressed te logical
minds and tislned consciences of a certain
type. It has net yet been generalized Inte
e., popular enthusiasm, with 'he fanfare
of trumpets and the appeal te tbe senses
and the challenge te the sentiments of the
average man tbe way that war has.
It cannot fall back en history for Its
monuments unless history Is used as were
tbe Tales of Slovenly Peter for a warning,
rather than for an example. It has no
ritual of flags and drums and marching
patriotic societies And uniformed soldiery J
at least se far It has net organized that
sort of propaganda, whatever these who
are in the van of the movement may suc
ceed In doing later.
I thought of this up In Princeton en
Sunday as I drove by the great Rattle
Monument en the green In the center of the
town, and saw the sculptor, Macmonnies,
quite literally putting en the finishing
touches with his mallet and chisel te the
figures of tbe bas-relief which Is te be
unveiled today with the President of the
United States as a witness.
What Is te celebrate a victory of a war
fought nearly a century and a half age Is
te be accomplished with much mere
splendor of preparation ami real dramatic
fervor of realization than the very most
distinguished peace celebration that has yet
been staged.
IN THE first place, the town and State
and tbe country united te vote the funds
for the work of art which was te com
memorate the battle of Princeton the turn
ing point victory of the American Revolu
tion. In the second place, the artist chosen
for the great task of symbolizing the battle,
Macmonnies, has worked for fourteen years
en the great 'figures that made the tableau
of. tbe conflict. Then the Rlsbep of New
Jersey, Dr. Paul Matthews, will Invoke the
blessing of Ged en the occasion. And te
emphasize some of the stirring events that
marked the original occasion, Bayard Stock
ton, "the direct descendant of tbe Richard
Stockton across whose acres the fight raged,
will receive the completed monument from
the sculptor, and bis grandson, another
Bayard Stockton, will unveil the great
carved stone.
As military escort te the President, the
Philadelphia City Troop sml the Maryland
Infantry will be present In full regalia.
Beth these organizations fought In the Rat
tle of Princeton; the troop Indeed consti
tuted the only cavalry that Washington had
en that perilous occasion. The Society of
the Sens of the Revolution will carry and
unfurl flags In their possession that are the
originals or exact duplicates of flags carried
that war.
A poem commemorating the event will
be read by Its author Henry vurt Dyke,
and in the name of the State of New Jersey
Governer Edwards will accept the future
care and preservation of the monument as
a State responsibility. The speech of the
President will be the closing act of tbe
momentous and spectacular occasion.
THE moment of the battle which Mac
monnies has chosen te perpetuate and
symbolize in stone Is that of the tragedy
of the fall of General Mercer, the moment
or was It hour of suspense when the
flag of victor)- was shattered out of the
hand of the standard bearer, whs snatched
and held aloft once mere under the tense
but calm rallying power i of Washington.
The figure and, above all. the face of Wash
ington dominates the confusion tf the con
flict as he leans' forward, facing the threat
ening disaster and wresting victory from
defeat. ....
What the sculptor with his heroically
slzeVl figures has wrought out en the face
of the stone, a Princeton scholar who Is
at once a poet and a philosopher has put
Inte words that are cut en the back of the
great slab of sandstone thnt forms the
reerse of the menument:
"Here memory lingers
Te recall
The guiding mind
Whose daring plan
Outflanked the fee
And turned dismay te hope
When Washington
With swift resolve
Marched through the night
Te fight nt dawn
And venture all
In one victorious battle
Fer our freedom"
These lines of Dean West are followed
by a Latin inscription, which Is trans
lated: 4 t
"The ages pass away; we, tee, yet linger
ing, are hurried en. '
O Tbeu, who guldest the ages, guard our
land."
I WOULD have liked te go up te see
that splendidly composed program car
ried out this Friday morning, but In a
sense nothing that the crowd and flags and
music and speeches and the great reception
which the president of the university is te
give te the President of the country can
add te a certain something of fervor of
conviction that I get from watching the
slender, beautiful figure of Macmonnies him
self In his blue overalls, high up en the
face of the great relief, swinging his little
hammer against the chisel thut bit deep Inte
the very Seul of bis splendid picture,
Thnt and one ether thing have made the
memorial a distinct ns-et of memory te me.
The sculptor, In order te complete what te
him were Imperative necessities, worked en
Sunday, lie worked alone, however, as bis
assistants had their helldny. But being
Scotch and with a mind te the possible criti
cism of the churchgoers who are many In
that little wn, he spoke half apologetically,
halt by way of explanation, te the old rector
who lives across the way from the green.
"Seme of you may be troubled te see me
working en Sunday," Mucninnnles began,
"but there Is se much te be done and every
minute counts, and '
The old rector smiled and shook his head.
"My friend, I would net call It work," be
said, "I would call It devotion."
AND there you have It I Te home dis
armament Is religion In the highest
form; te ethers the sncrlfice of killing and
being killed for an Ideal Is a glorious Insplra-
. . &.. ..at .... ftl flltlu man abb. I am..
tlen lO UC rc uj' " .m..c tMciai.i'lia w
recall. Te some going te church Is the
worship of Gods j te ethers finishing tbe
work of years, i wish mat i might be
sure Inwardly of the faith, hepeand charity
of. the old rector, mj that seeing I might
comprehend the worship in all these acts.
"Net work, but devotion!"
Fear that The Hague
Position meeting will prove as
Unchanged futile as that at Genea
receives some justifica
tion In the declaration of Chlcherin that
Russia will take the same economic posi
tion. That is te say, she will be en her
knees, her left hand raised in appeal and
her right behind her back, clutching a
knife.
A Lewlsberry, Pa., girl has the record
of never having been absent or tardy from
the time she began school until she gradu
ated. 2700 days In all. Jealous kids will
Immediately surmise that she Is probably
sufficiently proud of the fact.
With the result a foregone conclusion
and with no opportunity given te the voters
te register opinion for or against the treaty,
one wonders why the Irish election Is te
be held at 11 at all.

NICHOLAS D0UTY
On American Singers and 8lnglng
IN THE last few years, especially since
the war, there has been n decided tend
ency among the great singing Instructors te
return te the simpler and mere lyric style
of singing, says Nicholas Deuty. an au
thority en the voice and singing.
"This has been the case te n very large
extent In the I'nlted States," said Mr.
Deuty, "and I believe thnt the same tend
ency will nlse be found among the best
foreign teachers. All the great singers seem
te be coming hack te the Italian foundation
upon which all singing was originally based.
"There can be little doubt, I think, that
the training of the voice in the method which
has prevailed and been se popular for se
many years was the. direct result of the
enormous popularity of the 'Wagnerian
operas. This gigantic musical Influence was
felt all ever the world, and the singers and
their teBchers consequently neglected the
old 'bel canto' style of singing, which was
purely lyric and was be Bed entirely upon
the sounds of the vowels.
Fewer Great Teacher
"Yet In the elder days we had a let of
great singers and a few really great teach
ers, teachers who turned out net one, but
a large number of artists of the highest
caliber. Among these who steed out pre
eminently among the teachers of the world
were Marchesl among the women and
Sbrlglla among the men. If you will re
view mentally the great singers of the last
generation you will see that nearly every
one of the women was a mipll of Marchesl
and nearly every one of the men a pupil of
Sbrlglla.
"At the present time there does net seem
te be any such distinguished teachers, nor
for that matter does there appear te be the
number qf great singers that there .ermerly
were; that is, these possessed of that pre
emtnest genius which mnkes them stand out
like beacons In the world of music.
"Fer one thing, I think that It Is tee seen
after the war te expect very great artistic
results. Hut I am looking forward and
hoping te see seen a school of singing In
which beauty of tone shall be considered te
be quite as Important ns, If net mere se than,
the dramatic expression which had been the
goal of all singers, both In opera and In
song during the pnst decade.
The American Singers
"We appear te be In n condition of chaos
with regard te all the tine arts, and I think
that music, being perhaps the most sensitive
of them all, Is mere strongly affected by
this condition than any of the ethers. Since
thCdeath of Caruso we hove net any singer
of tbe superlative rank which he deservedly
held. In the twenty years previously we
had at least a dozen of them. Until the
effects of the war become less potent and
until the struggle for existence which Is
going en all ever the world becomes less
bitter, I believe that we shall net be able te
produce singers of that class.
"And yet In the. United States the level
of singing Is very much higher than it was
before the war. By flie 'level' I mean the
average of singing, even though there Is no
Caruso or Melbu In i sight. We have new

nnd took possession of se ninny of them.
However, I nm glad te say that this tem
porary condition has begun te Improve
rapidly.
"I believe that the course which vocal
composition hns taken Is, te a certain ex
tent, responsible for some of the evils with
which vocalization n'ew finds Itself beset.
The original wns the bel canto, and this was
the style of the enrly Italian masters under
whom singing, per se, wns perhaps brought
te Its highest level. Rut since that time
there have been many nnd marked deviations
from the system adopted and accepted by
the early Italians.
Most Nations Departed Frem It
"Rut this style was never adopted te any
extent by the .great German masters except
Mozart, who wrote both Italian and Ger
man operas. There wns also marked devi
ation by the French after n certain period,
""heugh the Italian traditions continued
until liluck. With him came the mere dm
matic elements which were te culminate In
Wagner, and then really began the decline
of the Italian method. The enormous pepu-
,y, ?' the 0man opera later com
pleted it.
"Rut it seems te me that the modern
trench compositions of Debussy and his
followers arc an attempt te revive again the
