We. prcfef net te doubt Mr. t'enth'H sin cerity. We ile ileubt the vnlltllty of bis argument. The lmplc fm t of the matter is that the westward parade of the Liberty Hell has been planned us a stunt te "boost" n local celebration. If thnt sort of thing is net objectionable in one Instance why should It ever be questioned? Why net send the Liberty Hell te all the county fairs? And rhy shouldn't the enterprising folk in Chicago petition Wellington for the use of the erlgliinl copy of the Declaration of Inde pendence or the dome of the Capitel? MOTOR RECIPROCITY THE farmers in New Jersey who, angered because they nre being asked te obtain Pennsylvania meter licences for the con tinuous operation of their trucks en this side of the, river, arc talking of establishing their central produce market in Camden, ought te address their complaint te their own Highway Department and its chief, Mr. Dill. There ncer was an attempt te deny the limitless ceuitesy of I'ennsj luuilii reads te New Jersey automobile owners until the New Jersey authorities Ignored nn nlmest universal principle of meter reciprocity and put n strict lesnl limit en the use of Penn sylvania tags en their own highways. Technically jeu are guilty of a misdemeanor if jeu operate a meter vehicle for mere than two weeks with foreign tags In the State of Jersey. Consistent efforts hnve been made for years te enforce that rule. Almest nil ether States cheerfully extend te visiting motorists such privileges ns the motorists' borne State extends te drivers from ,-vthe outside. But New Jersey has always been somewhat sensitive nleut its rends. It established the two-week limit a long time age. .Naturally, after n period of irritation nnd futile argument, the Highway Depart ment in this State began the operation of a rule of retaliation. The farmers who liiul thnt they may hne te take out Pennsylvania meter licenses for the right te deliver their produce at the Deck street markets are receiving only sm h treatment as their own officials provided years age, even for these tourists nnd va va cateonists who entered the State with money by( the pound nnd n cheerful determination te spend it without stint or limit. THE BIG DEADLOCK SO FA It ns the rail and coal strike nego tiations have gene, one thing, nnd one thing only, Is entirely clear. The Govern ment Itself is stumped and helpless.

And ths is because the Government hns gene te tUe limits of its authority. It might have hjul power te go further if Congress M.fjjPut leusisieuuy rciuseii te permit any thing like 11 real investigation jit the source of major strike troubles. The wisest plan erer suggested in Washington since strike become n national affliction was that offered In the Senate te provide for n fact-finding commission composed of scientific nnd im purtial men already in the Federal service te ascertain in u detniled survey the actual truth about wages, working conditions, organization, purposes and profits of the coal business. The plan wns sidetracked for political reasons. n VOLSTEADISM AT SEA TTXFOItTUXATKLY for the Slilnnlmr 1 U BeariK the Government nnd nil Vol Vel I Btcnd enthusiasts, people who trnvel nlnend ' always insist upon regarding the period of a Heu voyage as a Holiday Interval le be filled with such fun nnd nmiisements ns arc supposed te be inseparable from das off.

RESPONSIBLE LEADERSHIP - NEEDED INWASHINOTON It Begins te Loek as If President Hard ing Were Preparing te Assert Him self as the Head of His Party WHILE the Democrats voted unanimously ngnlnst the cloture resolution in the Sennte, It would be unjust te charge thnt they did it for purely political reasons. The resolution wns presented by the Re publicans for political reasons and also in order te expedite business. But sound arguments can be made ngnlnst jamming the Tariff Bill through without adequate dis cussion of its previsions. The Democrats are opposed te the bill. It is their duty as the opposition party te criticize it and te force such amendments in it as they can compel the majority te accept. But even If they can force no amendments it is their duty te propose them and te fight for their adoption. This Is legitimate se long ns there Is no reseit te dilatory tactics te prevent the majority from carrying out its will. If the debate continues for nn unreasonable length of time there will certainly be enough Senators te apply the cloture rule nnd bring about a final vote. Te chnrge the Senate with failure te func tion because it has net passed the bill already is te misrepresent the facts. The Sennte is functioning. That is why se much time Is consumed in consideration of the measure. It wns drafted originally by the Ways and Means Committee of the Heuse nnd wns passed by the Heuse with almost no debate, because the Heuse has surrendered te the Senate Its constitutional function of framing revenue legislation. Eery member of the Heuse knew thnt the Tnriff Bill sent te the Sennte would be re written by the Finance Committee of that body nnd revised by the Senate Itself sitting as n Committee of the Whole. It is lmpcslblc te frninc a bill se full of complicated nnd conflicting details as n tnriff measure nnd te de It in n short time by the present processes. The Senate hns net broken down. If there has been nny breaking down in Wash ington it hns been the breaking down of party discipline. President Harding hns re ferred te it several times during the last six months. He hns been loath te nsscrt his leadership for the rensen thnt his party had been denouncing the exercise of such lead ership by President Wllen. The Democrats In Congress were taunted time after time with receiving and obeying orders from the White Heuse. Sluch was said about execu tive usurpation of legislative functions. But Mr. WlUeii insisted thnt there was no executive usurpation. He ncted en the assumption flint when he wns elected te the presidency his party also elected him te the responsible leadership of thnt party, nnd he insisted thnt when he told his party in Congress what te de he was acting ns the leader of the party and net ns President of the I'nited Stntcs. Ills plan worked, for under It the Demo cratic Congress passed the laws which the party platform said should be passed, and the Democratic Party becume for the first time in ears nn effective Instrument of goernment. It could net have functioned thus in the nbsr-nce of a dominating leader ship such ns Mr. Wilsen exercised. President Harding has nsserted himself en two or three occasions in the way in which Mr. Wilsen habitually asserted him self. And nil the avnllnblc evidence points te n growing disposition te take a firmer held en the reins nnd te use the lash upon Congress in order te compel it te carry out the party program. He referred two or three times Inst week during his trip te Mnrlen nnd return te the necessity of lead ership and party discipline. Ills mind is running en this subject, nnd it could net eiy well escape It in view of whnt Is hap pening in Congress. Toe many Senators arc using the tactics of Senater McCmnber, who sought te win support In his campaign for rcnomlnntlen by forcing ids Benus Bill te the front, n bill which the President had criticized as fatally defective. McCumber cared nothing about party policy. He was absorbed In the effort te snve his own pellticnl hide. Other Senators nre snarling up the tnriff bill in their efforts te protect speclnl in terests In their Stntes regardless of the Interests of the people of ether States. They nre net seeking te draft n consistent tnriff mensure in which the protective theory shall be npplled for the genernl geed, aUheugh their party Is committed te the application of the protective theory in this way. It is opposed te special privileges and te legis lative favoritism. Hew for the change in the method of electing Senators has affected the situation Is debatable. But there is no doubt that the necessity of appealing te the voters for sup port has broken down the intellectual nnd inernl independence of some of the Sena tors. When they were chosen by the Leg islatures of their States they looked for their renomlnntlen and election te their State political organizations of which they were part, nnd they were almost as free from the pressure of evanescent nnd ill considered popular clamor as are the ap pointive judges. But the chnnge in the method of election hns been made, and it is net likely thnt we shall ever go back te the original plnn set up in the Constitution, n plan intended te provide n judicially minded Sennte te net ns a check upon a popularly elected Heuse. Te return te the failure of the cloture resolution, it is worth while noting that It is apparently understood In aj ingten thnt the Tariff Bill will be breu te a finnl vote befeie the mlild'e of Ngust. This means culy about live me.

But It we could have thnt party discipline and willingness te fellow an acknowledged lender of which the President has been talking, Congress would act with greater expedition. ' THE FARMERS' BLOC TRIUMPHS WISPS of hey trailing in the wake of formers' wngens have for years Im parted n bucolic tene te otherwise urban thoroughfares. Visitors who have witnessed the sight hnve been tempted te characterise it ns typically Phlladclphlen. It has par ticularly amused sojourners hailing from the vlnclty of Manhattan Island. Council, however, is boldly impervious te jekesmlths, and with n cheer for the "formers' bloc" hns overwhelmingly turned down the erdlnnncc suggested by the High way Bureau and Introduced by Mr. von Tagen, which would have compelled the baling of hay in transportation through the city streets. Lecal color hns been preserved. Once a great village, always n great village, is evi dently the ceunellmiinlc sentiment regarding the community which the city fathers arc supposed te cherish. Littering the streets with bunches nnd strands of liny Is n custom suggesting that Philadelphia at lenst is one Amcrlcnn city net given ever wholly te metropolitan hyper refinements. If the Highway Bureau im agines that the field of Us jurisdiction Is no longer n country town, Council Is prepared te combat nny such newfnngled notion. Why should tradition be sacrificed te progress? LATIN-AMERICAN QUALMS THE persistent demands of the Govern ment of Chlje te promote a comprehen sive consideration of competitive nrmnments in Seuth America nre shedding Informative light upon a problem te which the outside world has accorded comparatively little attention. , In Em epe. and even te some extent in the United Stntes, Lntln-Ainerlcnn Issues, especially these dominant in the Southern Hemisphere, nre pepulnrly regarded ns npart from the erdlnnry current of inter national affairs. Nevertheless, rivalries and conflicting Interest In Seuth America are lively, nnd curious parallels may be traced between the situation in the antipodes and that which is commonly associated with the main strcnm of history. The Treaty of Ancen, still under discus sion in the negotiations in which the United Stntcs Is seeking te adjust the claims of Chile nnd Peru te the valuable nitrate Provinces of Tcenn and Aricn, ended in the early eighties the last bitterly fought and violently destructive war en the southern half of the southern continent. A decnile before that conflict Latin-American progress hnd been interrupted by the bloody struggle In which Brazil nnd her allies all but ex terminated the Pnrngunynns, deluded nnd vainly led by the nrch-despet Lepez. The recovery of Paraguay from her wounds hns been pninfully slew. The sub stnntlnl development of Chile, Brnzil nnd Uruguny, however, hns led, ns might natu rally have been expected, te n marked in crease of national consciousness. The Intensity of this sentiment wns crltl cnlly illustrated in the Pntngeninn boundary dispute, which nenrly caused nn eutbrenk of hostilities between Chile nnd Argentina nt the opening of the present century. Ilnpplly, nn arbitration awnrd by Edward VII, agreed te by both pnrtles, disposed of thnt dangerous controversy. Popular opinion in the Argentine has been increasingly nnti-mllitnristic. A strong nnttennl pride has, however, borne fruit in the well -organized army of Chile, a fact which lends conspicuous interest te the recent efforts of thnt country en behnlf of Seuth Amcrlcnn peace. Dr. Vicuna, Chilean delegate In the Dls nrmnment Commission of the League of Nations, which hns lately been in session In Paris, has announced that his nation will insist upon discussion of the whole question of disarmament, both naval and military, at the next Pan-American conference te be held in Santiage next March. It is natu rally the Seuth American sltuntien in which he is chiefly concerned. Thnt presents the elements of n new "bnlance-of-pewer preb; lem" and the possibilities of new national alignments. According te figures published by Ln Prenn. of Buenes Aires, it Is Brazilian military preparntlen which Is new oeen eeen oeen sienlng nnxletv among her neighbors. Con sidering its nren and population, the stand ing army of the largest Lnmi -American ic public, which amounts te 11(!,000 men, can hardly he tailed excessive. Yet It is nearly equnl numerically te the combined armies of nil the ether Seuth Amcrlcnn republic. Alleged strategic railways have been built from Brazil te Uruguay, which progressive little country is reported te have nn under standing with her grcnt neighbor. Whether this contention Is true or net, it is certnin thnt the Argentine Interpretation is char acterized by an undercurrent of discomfort. The sltuntien, renl or fancied, justifies examination, nnd it is encouraging te note that Chile, n nation supposedly of mili taristic tendencies, is taking the Initiative. It would be shocking Indeed if nntlennllsm were pen cried by chnunvlnlsts and jingoes in Latin America as it se often has been ln Europe. Fortunately, the roots of dissension nre net jet Irretrievably deep. If they can be pulled up and cast nway at the Pan-.Vmerl-enn Congress the body will perferin n real sen ice te civilization. SEVILLE MEANT WELL THE Majer's barrel of olives from Spain is net a gift intended te embarrass the Chief Executive of this city. The Inhabit ants of Seville, te whose generosity the present Is due. nre genuinely enthusiastic about the exposition idea, and it Is lucon lucen lucon celvnble that their munificence is tainted with irony. Fer the Andaluslnn metropolis hns n fnlr of Its own this jenr. Elaborate prepara tions hnve been mnde for the celebrntlen, Southern Spain, supposedly n land devoted te guitar-pleying, bull-fighting nnd the Incensequentinl fooleries of Fignre, has been revitalized by nn undertaking signalizing progress nnd prosperity. Its exposition menns n geed time, geed business, the stimu lating of social and economic activities. In the midst of the enjoyment, somebody seems te have entertained a thought for the world fair which Philadelphia was re ported te be planning. Whnt could be morn nppreprlnte tbnn the dispatch of u symbol of appreciative interest? Realizing the Importance of the Sesijul Centennlnl, if properly conducted nnd developed, Seville, in the goednesH of Its Iberian heart and the fullness of joy from the insplrntien of its own show, wnntcd te be helpful. It wns net expected in Anda lusia that a gift forwarded te n grent city in hustling Amcrlcn would for nn instant occasion bewilderment and perplexity.

' 1 A NEW HOUSE Picturesque and Significant Goings On In the Mlnde of the Men Who Built It By SARAH D. LOWRIE THE owner' of the house that la building across from my garden frowns 'en' me when I saunter ever te sit en, a pile, of benrds nnd watch the wcrk. Her frown docs net worry me, because she Is a'very near relation, nnd 1 have learned through a long experience that she cannot ,fint me. Her rensen for frowning Just new is because she thinks I divert the carpcnters.nnd paint ers from .their work by getting them te converse. And as she has moved Inte her house, bag nnd b: cgnge, she wants them out of it. And every minute of the short day of a workingman docs count In almost cal culable dollars and cents. ' But I cannot resist going ever there te sit among the clean, crisp shavings, and once there I cannot resist "getting the mnn" who happens te be nt work nearby te converse. It is se easy I All I say is: "Where did you come from?" with the accent en the "jeu." Or, "Hew did you come te be working et this trade?" Then they are oft! Fer they nil have come from somewhere or been somewhere or learned their trade by some odd chance. THE painter who Is bossing his end of the lob. for instance. Is the grandson of a Bnptlst minister. He spends his winters nt Palm Beach as superintendent of a beat- litillillnv nnrl riMinvntlnff CemnanV down there. It nlipcnrs there is a destructive. worm ln these ports that plays havoc witn beats, se that they have te be renovated once n year. Se he says, at least, well, he gees down there with his wife and two children Just when the weather 1 -c turns blustery In the fall, and they travel ln their Ferd, with tent nnd cook stove nnd cup cup beard nnd ether camping outfit, mnklng the trip In ten days, unless they step off new and then with friends. He makes enough money down nt Palm Bench te cover the cost of the trip nnd oil expenses down there, with some ever. Being the village painter up In his part of New Yerk State, be has all the orders that he can fill for the spring and the summer months. Going down or coming up each year the family makes a specialty of seeing thor oughly one new town new te them f "t Is a season. In thnt way they, new knew Albany, Trey. Schenectady, New Yerk nnd Philadelphia, and they hnve a very geed idea of many of the big towns south of us. They meet many pleasant travelers en their night enrolling grounds, sometimes the same ones for the whole ten days. Their present little car has made the trip three times a-.d still carries its owner up the hill te his job nt the new house across from my garden. Frem the new houses building at Palm Beach te the political situation In Penn sylvania he came through during our pri mary elections this painter is brimming ever with topics agreeable te me. Hew can I resist making blin converse? Hew can he resist conversing? THEN there is the very curly-headed chap thnt hns been laying the conduit for the electric wires between the engine in the gnragc and the house. We fell into conver sation because I asked him why thnt pipe bad te be burled it necessitated se much blasting nnd his explaining thnt the earth kept the pipe cool and even damp. He as sured me It insured n better current. At least that is n short cut te whnt be said or whnt I understood. Whnt mere natural than that I should ask: "Hew did you come te be nn elcctriclnn?" And Imagine my interest when he told me thnt his first real job was as motermnn between Chestnut Hill and Allentown. When jeu nre fnr from your native door step every one who has seen your home town is worth stepping "te chin" with; ns for n motermnn who might net have stepped for you when you knew thnt he saw you slgnnl, thnt is positively intriguing! His rensen for lenving Philadelphia and coming te New Yerk Stntc wns surprising, nnd yet net wholly se. He hnd asthma as a boy and went te the doctor, nnd the doctor snld : "Here new! I'll tell you whnt te de if you don't tell your fnther that I gave you this tip! Clear out from here and get into higher ground nnd better nlr." "Sure I will. Dec!" said the motorman, "but Where's that nt?" "Up In New Yerk State." said the doc tor. And by "up" the motorman took him te mean meuntnins. Se he left next day and hns been gene seventeen years nnd has never suffered nn hour since. There being no trellejs, he hns taken te laying electric wires here nnd there, nnd hns nlse ndded blasting te his accomplishments. ms day's im.v is geed and be gets se much a rock besides. fTUIEN there is "Happy" Miner, who Is putting up the window shades. In three weeks "Happy" is te begin his enrcer as piofessiennl baseball plajer for a town nine famous in these parts. Meantime until the season begins Jic is taking en odd jobs nnd Keeping himself in form by vaulting every chnir, bed and bureau, net te spenk tef table in the new house. He perches en the most unlikely places and keeps himself in condi tion by running violently te imaginary bases whenever he gees out of the house en errands. The rensen thnt I knew nbeut this second career of his is because jes, I confess it I asked him what he was catching in the air when I came upon him suddenly en what will eventually be a lawn. Naturally, when he told me that it wns an Imaginary base hall, we fell into deep confab, nnd were only tern from it by a stern voice from nn upper nnd unshaded window calling : "Miner have jeu found these cords?" ' APART fiem every ether Interest I wns impressed with the knowledge which these methedlrnlly Industrious "rolling stones" hnve accumulated en the subject of investments in the countries of their so se so JeurnlngH. They knew what is n geed buv, whnt is n bargain nt the present price with the future probabilities. And mere thnn ene of them has turned n penny nnd mndc two of it en his travels. I've discovered this net from general conversation, but by cnu cnu tleus cnstlngs en my part nfter we have broken much ground conversationally I was further confirmed in this guess bv n business friend of mine who knew one of the carpenters. He snld the mnn hnd worked off nnd en in New Yerk City nnd after twenty years pulling down old houses there nnd building new ones never en his own centrnct, but just working by the dnv he hnd become very canny In the matter of real estate and had incidentally amassed raore than one hundred thousand dellnrs by buying houses going cheap and selling them in n rising market where some new building scheme was afoot that Included just that house and let te round out Its plnn. H0 Ih still a carpenter, still works by the dnv Net because he is avaricious, but because he enjejs the weil; nnil the prestige of being one of the old smt of master carpenters who learned his trade before machines made one careless and nlse Ignorant of nlce details There is nlwnjs n demand for that 'old sort of skilled work, und always a job where lie could take his time te "finish." I see his grny bend bending ever a long heveled edge of weed new across the way from my garden. I have never really talked te him or get him te converse beyond his Informing inc with some pride that he was "Jeft-hnndcd." I think, in splte of the frown of the owner of the new house, I will saunter ever and sit ou a nearby carpenter's horse and watch lilm work left-handed, If presently he fulls te conversing with me I doubt if 1 hnvn the strength of will te get up and come nway.

MATTSON On Orchestral Music In the Park THE project of having orchestral music the best kind played every evening in Fairmount Park, which was recently au thorized by Council, will prove nn excel lent thing for the music of the city in a number of ways, nccerdlng to,LeuIs A.. Mnttsen, assistant manager of the Philadel phia Orchestra, who has been secured te manage the Park concerts. The concerts will begin next Monday evening in the music pavilion at Lemen Hill. "Of its effect upon the large number e residents et the city, who. we expect, will attend the concerts," said Mr. Mattsen, 'It is hardly necessnry te spenk. Philadelphia has plajcd nn important part In the de velopment of the best orchestral music in this country in the last ten or fifteen yenrs, nnd there ii been literally n demand for mere orchestral music than could be sup plied. The Park concerts will net only assist In this, but they nlse may play a major part in the development of nn en tirely new erchestrnl audience. Three Shells Ultimately "If the Tnrk concerts are successful this summer there probably will be three shells in vnrleus parts of the Park erected for the concerts next summer, the idea being te give two concerts u week in each of the three places. But this summer the- only plnce will be nt Lemen Hill, where the out-of-doers shell will be reconstructed te meet the needs of the orchestra. "The personnel of the organization, which this season will be made up of fifty men, will be drawn ns fnr as possible from the roster of the Philadelphia Orchestra, nnd it is the Intention te get every member of the Philadelphia Orchestra who is in the city this summer and desires te piny as a member of the City Orchestra, which will be the official name of the new organization. Te these, members of the Philadelphia Or chestra will be added a sufficient number et the best orchestral players of the city who are net affiliated with the Philadelphia Or chestra te make up the fifty men. I hope that it will net be necessary te go outside of Philadelphia for any of the performers. "This plan will ba-e a number of ad vantageous points. It will lengthen the playing season for the members of the or chestra and will de much te help them re tain the perfection of ensemble playing which Is se grent a feature of their work during the regular symphony bcasen by keeping them playing a higher class of music thnn is te be found In the average 'summer job.' The men chosen te make up the roster of the orchestra will be selected through the regular channels of selection for the Phila delphia Orchestra. The Conductors and Soloists "The conductors will be Victer Kelar, Thaddcus Rlclv and Henry Hadley, This has been a matter for the most serious consid eration, but I think that we have been suc cessful in selecting three men who nre ter tulnly capable", and all of whom have hed wide orchestral nnd especially symphonic experience. "Dr. Rich and Mr. Hadley are, of course, well known te Philadelphia concert-goers, nnd there is little doubt thnt Mr. Kelar will prove his efficiency as a conductor, In which position he hns had long experience with the Detroit orchestra, the Victer Herbert orchestra and ether organizations of the highest standing.

This is the music which will form the basis of the Park con certs. The Symphony Nights "It must be distinctly understood that there is te be no 'playing down or 'playing up' te the public. In the first plncc. it is net heccssary. The Philadelphia public is fully ns well educated musically as that of any city in the country ; the appreciation of geed music is fully ns great here, if net nctuelly greater than it is in -New Yerk or Bosten, nnd many of the leading artists have snld that they consider the Philadelphia audiences the most critical of any city In the United States.- - J, "Fer this reason, if for no ether, it will be necessary te glve the audiences which assemble in the Park the very best music which can be secured, and it must be con ducted nnd played In the very best man H?r; ,I?,,!llnS cle would be tolerated by Philadelphia. Fortunately there Is an abundance of music of the best type which is admirably adopted te such concerts as thebe which we have in view. , "There will be nee regular symphony night each week, en Friday evening. It Is net the purpose of the orchestra te play symphonic programs throughout, net be cause there is nny fear that the audiences would net understand and appreciate them, but because the symphony, by its very nnture, does net lend Itself te out-of-doers performance, where much of the delicacy of the composition nnd orchestration could net be adequately brought home te the bearers.
