In this instance they were seemingly Identical. Ulaul was suspected of being in love with n .woman net his wife. He killed himself In a tit of desperation after letters signed liy the Ku Klux threatened thn woman nnd himself with exposure nnd punishment It is a serious offense te send threatening letters through the malls for an illegal pur pose. What has the I'osteffiee Department been doing lately te restrict the activities of the Ku Klux' SANTA CLAUS BURSUM BHTWEKV friends In Washington, as things are going new, a billion dollars means about or much as well, as a peanut In nn clephnnt house. Se Senater Bursum, of New Mexico, doubtless speaks In nil sin cerity when he observes that he doesn't ex pect te have nny trouble In obtaining about jCO.Obe.OOO when Congress reconvenes te pay extrn pensions te veterans of the Mexi can nnd Civil Wnrs. It is the Senater's notion that "some nice Christmas present from Uncle Sara" Would be welcomed by these soldiers of old battles who are new aged and In retire ment. Of course tbey would. The plan ins a plrajnnt appearance. ' - 'iit In trn millennium t'"' f men who hnre te endure the strain and dirt nnd horror of battle will be enabled te live In luxury for the rest of their lives In par tial atonement for the hardships of the field. Hut we venture 'te believe that there Is no basis of ethics under Senater Iliirsum's scheme. What we probably will learn Is thnt the Sennter or some of the Senater's friends nre out for office In New Mexico. The news of enlarged pension expendi tures with the news thnt the Benus BUI is te come up again isn't pleasant te hear. One of these dajs, if ever there is nnything like nn Amalgamated Brotherhood of Long Leng Suffering Taxpayers, some rude policeman will be sent te Washington te arrest mem bers of Congress for mlsue of the public funds.

Why Don't the Hig Fair's Opponents Denounce These Who Are Spend ing Millions in New Build inss This Year? rpllFi North Philadelphia Manufacturers' J- Association, which has just isued a manifesto attacking the fair of 1020, is altogether tee modest in its fears. Kven if the Sesqul. Centennial project could be bound, gagged nnd "squelched in Infancy, there would remain throughout this i -immunity sufficient building operations alone te denote a veritable conspiracy of pregreis. Among such proceedings, which by the reasoning the manifesto used must b" deemed criininnl, are three large new hotels, skyscrnpltig office buildings involv ing nn expenditure of millions and a great variety of ether constructions likely te in crease rea estate allies and certain te enlist the services of armies of workmen. Have the backers of these undertakings stepped te consider what they are doing? Have they realized that they nre net dredg ing the Delaware, cleaning the Sehujlklll. modernizing the water supply, erecting iichoe'.s or providing bridge approaches? Cander compels the admission that the perpetrator-, of such offense, against the 'sic ,,f the North Philadelphia Manufac turers' Association are shamelessly nware both of their actions nnd their deficiencies. If j en seek the monuments of their infamy leek nbeut you. Chestnut street between the two rivers Is n shocking sight for eyes thnt pierce through the veneer of progress. Consider the sums already lavished en this transformation, reduce them te pennies, place them end te end and who knows bur that they may reach te the moon and half way brn k again? These wreckers of the status quo in Phila delphia, who are spending millions in build inss, srem te be utterly ruthless. They are defying consequences and de net nppear te car" whether the labor market here is in i -eased or net. Compared with privately sponsored Im provements new tinder way, the fair con cept is puny. It Is charitable te assume that the North Philcde'phln manufacturers have en'y just begun te fight. Otherwise they would ret select se paltry an antagonist as an cxr5't!en te lie opened four years h"nre If thev hare 'he courage of thlr eonvlr eenvlr in.s t!." should come te grips with the whole life ,md movement of this u-ban re gion.

This undoubtedly Is a fact. Ir is true n'se that -en times that sum could b" devoted te u"h work and ": then th" ,My would fall 'hert of perfe-ien.

Nothing Is te pe, stained bv substituting one form of Improvement for another. The by-products of all progress necessarily are disturbing te persons of static temperament. And for this reason !t seems odd that the fair has been chosen as a particular object of distrust, when the general enllvenment of the town Is se calamitously plain. Until the North Philadelphia manufac turers launch a larger-scale campaign they must stand condemned of entertaining a bneaklng admiration for progress after all. SUPPBESSIONISTS W HAT we snail nave 10 nave m this nminiir sooner or infer Is n cnnc.-,eLtn of censers. There will be no avoiding thnt growing need. There are tee many militant moralists te make morality seem attractive te the multitude. New Yerk happens te be the first torch bearer In the movement toward this reform. Censers of the mere aggressive sort, who hnve entered the field with the conviction thnt truth ns It is presented In books is somehow dangerous, have received another setback In the court of Magistrate Oner wager, whose opinion rendered In this in etance la well worth rending. It is far clearer and mere penetrating than judicial opinions naually are. and It puts the case ,- - t., ., t.lttl-ll 11, . I. declaration that the public nnd the courts cannot sanction nny efforts "te suppress the record of civilization." There was In the Heme of Nere's day n very able satirist disgusted by the reck lessness nnd vice apparent In flip lives of the ever-rich of the period. He was some thing of a crusader, a sort of Dr. Strnten, with the added gifts of n scholar's mind and nn artist's manner. lie wrote a tain Intended te held the high rollers of his time up te public contempt. It was n sensational work In ninny ways, and It was rather frank. What remains of It has been obtainable in English ever since translations were llrt made nvnllable by admirers of thu classic literature of the T.atlns. The Society for the Suppression of Vice hns just discovered the work. It begnn nn action te hnve the book suppressed nnd It lest, nnd, according te report. Its agents nre new te be sued for libel by the pub lisher. Doubtless there nre publishers without nny regard for literary standards who pub lish sensational books for the money that Is te be ninde out of them. But, ns Magis trate Obervvnger observed, they seldom mnkc much out of their ventures. ' It is but n short step. n ttie magistrate pointed out, from censorship of miner clnssl cal works te censorship of Shakespeare nnd the Bible. And that step lends directly te the acceptance of precedents which would justify self-appointed groups of well-meaning but misguided men nnd women in telling inv only this generation but the generations of the future what they should think, be lieve nnd feel. Free minds nre the first requirement in n free country. THE RIPENING CRISIS ALARMING Indications of Turkish In toxication In victory are contained in the report of the draft of th" Nationalists' reply te the allied note, which Mustaphn Kemal Is taking te Angera. The condition, as the) are said te be understood in Smyrna, are insolent in the extreme nnd in effect constitute n challenge te the Western Pow ers, Including France and ltal.v ns well as Unglnnd. Demand Is made for the occupation of Thrace before the peace cotif"rcH-e. fur the possession of stmtegic points nnd for the admission of Russia, the Ukraine nnd nil countries bordering en the Blink Sen te the conclave, t'nless harmenv between the Allies in this crisis is n mere th tien, this ultlmntum will be unacceptable. It Is important te recognize, however, that the official reply of the Angera Govern ment has net yet been forwarded, and that ir is consistent with Turkish pelicv te exact the utmost by terrorization, whether ap plied te helpless Armenians or the be wildered chancelleries of Kurepe. Kemal is nn adteit bargainer and there is every likelihood thnt he will use the nd vnntnge already gained te fester confusion nnd panic nmeng his antagonists. That the British Government is well nware of the uses of such tactics ennnnt be doubted, but that fact does net serve te minimize the critical nature of the situation in the neutral zone, new the s, cue of some extremely delicate balancing en the brink of war. As at least n partial offset te the dan gers of nn outbreak here, there is the possibility that the Turks may have overplayed their hand, llxcessive truculence en their part mny conceivably .operate te impose a policy of unity among the Allies, unimaginable n month age. Te .some extent the upheaval In Greece Is subordinate te the tense drama nleng the Straits and in the violated neutral zone, although in Athens consequences of the utmost importance te world politics are momentarily possible. There is net the lenst question of the au thenticity of the revolution, the force of which is notably strengthened by the disaf fection of naval emmnnders and niilltnry lea lers fermerlv atreng the firmest parti sans of the dlicn ditcd and new dethroned Constantine.

LOWRIE MOST musical performers cannot talk well that is talk well enough for n public performance of talk. I suppose they have se concentrated en composing or en rendering the compositions of ethers thnt te converse or speechify about hew thev de it or hew it wns done' is nbeut as. difficult ns It vveuhl be for a dressmaker te turn car penter, or for a banker te run a shifting engine. It renlly is a profession all by Itself, being able te, express oneself clenrly nnd nceept nbly In nubile speech, just ns it Is n pro fession that very few men are equal te, te conduct n symphony orchestra, or te be a virtuoso nt the piano. New nnd then there arc musicians who tench a specially chosen group of pupils nnd yet nt' the same time continue their com posing or the conducting of their concert tours, but net mnny hnve the vitality te tench and cencertize, or te cenccrtizc nnd de nnything else. Therefore whnt the Stokewskls propose te de enrly this autumn In their four informal talks en music Is unique enough te deserve very interested attention. TF MADAM RTOKOWSKI speaks ns well nnd with ns beautiful cemmnnd of just the right words for her subject ns her husband hns proved himself able te de. these "Inti mnte tnlks" thnt nre proposed should be of the utmost importance te musical people. Fer j en hnve in the combination n great conductor who knows all instruments from a conductor's standpoint, nnd the widest possible range of compositions, nnd you hnve one of the first pinnists in the world with nn nrtlst's nnd n performer's knowledge of compositions written for her instrument, plus a concertgeer'H thnt Is a listener's musical knowledge of music. If they will both renlly talk ns they think, ns they might tnlk te n chosen few whose opinion they wished te move or whose knowl edge along certnin fundamental lines they took for granted, they will have conferred a grent favor en the rcnl music levers In this tow n. As yet even these of us who love music have tee little chnncc te discuss music con structively. Musical criticism, which in the 1 retich sense of criticism is net nny mere n tearing down than it is unmeaning praise, is scarcely vulued here nny mere than dra matic criticism is. That is no one waits te hear what the morning pnpers say of a con cert or of ii play with the excitement that Paris gives the first night or the first time. And that is because the reaction of th. audi ences de net put our critics here en their mettle. They are net expected te be se im portant In their verdicts either te the nrtists or te the nudiences or te the public that wants te hear nil nbeut It even If it did net go. It is inconceivable In Philadelphia that nny city should enre nbeut n first night us much ns Nnples or Reme or Milnn or Paris or Berlin does. They are as much stirred ever n new opera, or a jew singer, or the tirst time a grent composer's imposition is given ns two-thirds of (Ms city might be ever nn international prize fight. That does net make them nny better citi zens, or churchgoers, or even fathers nnd mothers thnn we nre, but It does men .i thnt they have mere power of enjoyment than we have and are a much mere rewarding and nt the same time alarming audience for nrtists te respond te and for critics te dis cus. the geed -nd bad points with. "IXTIIEN persons who knew music nnd have heard musicians nnd are familiar with the great standards of taste in compositions discuss music or compositions nnd the way they nre played, of course they discuss whnt they think with the same vim nnd ease a group of engineers would discuss the plans and the carrjlng out of the plans of Rn'ph Medjpski In the present bridge construction going en between here and Camden ; or thnt n gieup of merchant tailerH would dismiss the relation of st.vies te this year's prices nnd demands: or that bankers might discuss ii change in the Federal Reserve Bank laws thnt would affect their power te borrow. It is technical talk in which an outsider would be swamped. D is the critic's business te speak in the language of the people the thoughts of such ti chilli mns concerning a composition or l he rendering of a composition And that is net easj. The critics that de net give n tig for the public make their criticism tee techni Hii. tne ones that steep tu get a hen ring from the public arc apt t.) make their criti cism tee sentimental for ec against. Musi. wi'h them ulwn.vs reminds tnem of something i.i'Terent waves of s0bs, chl'dish prattle or windmills! Or they put music into mood. "Ineffably sad, merry jests, tragic finalities, suicidal Impacts, chaotic reverberations" .no some of the phrases that come easiest te mind. NI the frith s are net se much te blame " as the persons who constitute their tin ire.itive audiences,, because such per-etis think us n rule sentimeniall.v about tnusi. . 'I hat is the) are Byronic m their emotion-. a kind of literury "deep , ailing unto deep" as thev sit in n steam of sensations, or at least try te hnve sensations because tnnv the Moonlight sonata nnd new the Pathetlque symphony are being played! WELL, that may be one wny te listen te music, iust as the purely technical nt'l. t id" is another wnv, but there Is a bnale-. i-ere Instlii? wiv that lies between the two wi ii h most of us would be the better for pise4Stig. And if the Stokewskls cannot tell ns what thnt is no one can. If they Min. in four talks, renlly lay n foundation for geed criticism in this town they will help the critics who knew nnd who write whnt they think, for they will make an intelligent audience for them nnd it will be the best year for music yet In Philadelphia. Ter T judge that the limited audience which hns an opportunity te subscribe will be composed chiefly of persons who nre mere thnn emotionally moved by music persons te whom the svmpheny concerts are mere than a rest nnd diversion, mere thnn n fruitful period te think out their business problems. I nm taking it for granted that the group te whom these two. great musicians will talk with a certain intimacy of candor nnd seri ous attention nre men nnd women who really count en music te glre them feed ns well ns n stimulant for the intellect, and that what, ever music sets free emotionally in them It sets free something spiritual nlse that makes the happenings of here nnd new mere related te nil tune and things beyond time. Yes, en the whole, I for one, nm hoping grent things for the audiences of a few out of the mnny who will tnlk face te fni e with the Stokewskis with music ns their common theme. New Brunswick (N. J. I police authori ties preudlv declare that while they have no definite evidence of anything nt all, they fer, that they have made progress. Frem tl is we judge they hnve arrived at the conclusion that the rector and the lady are really dead Walter Hampden, the Shakespearean actor, is1 taking dialect lessens from Sir Harry Lauder.

Daily Talks With Thinking Philadelphians en Subjects Knew Best JOHN A. WIEDERSHEIM On Applying for a Putent PRETTY nearly every one hns apparently devoted n let of time te the devising of patentable articles, especially since the close of the war. according te Colonel Jehn A. Wiedersheim. one of the country s best known authorities en the subject of patents, and ns n result there Is new n greater pres sure of business before the Patent Office nt Washington than at nny time In the history of the ceuntr.v. "Manv of the old things hnve passed away in the Inst few years," said Colonel leder sheiiii. "nnd especially in the line of n n ventieu there have been man) new thoughts nnd developments of elder ones. Time have been about 1.000.000 patents issued by the Government at Washington since the estab lishment of the Patent Office, nnd te show the activitv of the inventors of the lust tew years, there nre new about 70,000 appli cations en file which have net jet been passed upon. "The Government Patent Office is n con siderably elder institution than most persons would think. The very first patent issued, nnd marked patent Ne. 1. was signed by Geerge Washington ns President about 1 iOO. This original patent is new owned by n voting man In New Yerk City, he being a great-grandson of the inventor nnd patentee, nnd it certninly is nn interesting relic. "I have in my own possession patent Ne. 407. issued in lS-'iO and signed by Andrew Jacksen as President ; it is n pntent for n reaping nnd mewing machine. "In npplving for n patent the Inventor must first Ahiliil te his solicitor or nttor ntter ney n drawing or sketch or n model or mnVhinc of the article en which lie desires a patent, and from this are prepared the me chnnicnl drawings and specifications or de scription nnd the claims of the Inventor. This is done in the proper legal form de manded bv the Patent Office by the attorney, who is a 'useful person for that purpose. First Decisions Usually Adverse "This is then forwarded te the depart ment, nnd in due course of time n decision will be rendered thereon, which in most cases is adverse because of previous pntents which have been Issued that, apparently meet the claims of the new invention. "nd yet the new Invention may and generally has points of novelty in It which are patentable. These things are pointed out by the solicitors and become a part of the records or tne case, n ucj um ununi ted by the examiners, the application Is pnssed and In the course of a month or se the documents, or letters patent, are pre pared and sent te the nppllcant. "A ratent Is Issued for seventeen years, after which time them is no renewal. The applicants for patents nt Washington nre from every part of the known world, and, en thn ether'hand, many of the United States patents nre extended te foreign countries. "Of course, every patent or at lenst the great majority of them have merit ; but It does net fellow by any manner of means thnt nil of them result in profit or remuneration te the Inventor. It Is exceedingly likely that at least fiO per cent of all the patents awarded simply die a natural death. "There nre many rensens for this. Many nf them nre for complicated constructions which will net take the plnce in the com mercial field of existing machinery or de vices nnd another reason is that many of these' pntents nre far ahead of their times. It is really remnrkable hew few funda mentallv new things there nre. "As far back as 1800 or 1870 I secured patents for nrticles which are only new coining into general use. This Is also the case with mnny ether things, se thnt of the manv wonderful nrticles which nre new being put before the world there is little that is absolutely new In most of them. "Of course, things like thu wireless, the radio, the siibmnrine, nerinl navigation and the like hnve been mnde practicable within the last few jenrs. or nt lenst In the Inst quarter of n century, and yet thn Patent Office has records of incomplete and Imprac ticable ideas en all of thefe lines of Inven tion which date back te the sixties and W'"Tln' Patent Office Is divided Inte about .... ......

The. decision of the Patent Office ns made by its chief officers generally settles the case The Patent Office nt the present time is unfortunately very much in arrears with Its work. This condition has been largely brought about by n large number of the assistant examiners having entered the serv ice of the country nt the time of the war and net returning te the Patent Office nt the close of hostilities, as they have appar ently better prospects of advancement in their nevy lines of work than existed in the I'atent Office.
