It Is announced from Washington that an

In any way with the beml-isstiing power of

It Is argued in Washington that the ex
igence of a great mass of :.ecuritics exempt
from the Federal income tax deprive- in
dustry of the capital which it needs and
reduces the revenues of the Federal Gov
ernment. The assumption that industry 1 deprived

PRESTIGE OF OLD PENN
TOO MUCH FOR A. B. HART
Seme Itcflectiens Upen the Parochialism
of a Harvard Professer and His Very
Exclusive List of "National'
Universities
Al.BFttT IJUSHNHLL HAltT. who
tenches In Harvard T'nlverslty, hap
pr'pnred it little ll-t of American colleges
which he deems worthy of ' i.itienal" dis
tinction. The grouping exc'tules the I'nl-ver-lty
of Pennsylvania, ami the emission
hns net unnaturally provek'd tV amaze
ment of the student, alumni mil, indeed,
nil fi ends of a great and venerable institu
tion of higher learning.
Dr. Hart, a Pennsylvania! born, but a
graduate of the institution where he new
he'd- the chair of American history, has
lnevltablv included Harvard, as she de- rves
te be. within the charmed circle, and has
condescended te name Yale, Cernell, Colum
bia. Mlihlcnn and Chicago as her ptvrs in
Influence upon the life of the country In
ndeciuacy of curricula and breadth and dif
fusion of student body.
In what myopic way, in what spirit of
parochial perversity was Midi a hnrrnv
ranking devised? As a survey of Amen, in
collegiate enteiprl--e. the list is nb-uidh
wnrpetl, warranting the indignation wl-.h
it hm nreused and the resentment of m
fair-minded persons.
Seme years before Dr. Hart was born a
certain jeuth who had found New England
uncongenial te hi-, aspiring temperament
struck out for ether fields, and evidently
found that of Pennsylvania attractive. t
any rate he passed, with a few exeur-len-.
the remainder of his life in Philadelphia,
and In the i-our.-e of time became the ine-r
conspicuous of the founders of an in-titu-tlnn
new bearing the name of the University
of Pennsjlvnnin.
Mas-aihusetts there she stands ha- her
Hart, also her Harvard: Penn-.vlv.inin. in
a dual -ene. has her rranklin. The compensation-
of history are simple enough as
oeti as perceived.
As a historian Dr. Hart has probably
heard something of Itenjamln Franklin,
though the hitter did desert Ho-ten. Ill--terv
. however, i- su-cepiible of varied !n
ttrpn tatinn-, and if l)r. Hurt is teutent te
regard Franklin, Importation though he wa-,
as a local figure, it Is unlikely that nn.v
per-en will seek te rob hint of claim- te
such a discovery.
Put that point need net. at this da . he
pre-sul. In the Interests of hl-terv , v. hell
Dr. Hart ha- made his life work, it may !
useful te inquire into the qualiiicatien- for
national collegiate distinction.
The University of Pennsylvania, which,
according te the Implication of the Hnrv.nd
prof'sser, is parochial anil circumscribed in
character and influence, numbered l.isr e.-ir
mere than ll'.Oflil students, drawn fi' m
ever State In the Union and the IMsti r
of Columbia and from forty -four foreign
countries Tilts, in Dr. Hart's view, re
gional institution net only -emlucts (..urs,.
In virtually every branch of art, lettus ,,n,
sidence, but its reputation for .superier'tv In
certnln lines Is all but universally a ,. ,.ul
dged. The proviso is iu-ertid in dfei,ni.
te Dr. Hart.
Meie boasting is at best an undomreus
performance, but net the severest 1 nine
critic of Pennsylvania inn le.isetinblj i rt
that this community has (.,.r been guilt v nf
smugness with respect te its great institu
tion of higher learning.
There i- a tendency even te be npilei'i-tlr
for its iquipment in, for instarce, -urii
fields as architecture, n presented b" one
of the fnrctne-t schools of the glebe; for the
iiutl erl'ative and vlsoreusly ndn'.n.-teied
departments of medb n e, law, dentl-trv,
chemistry and engimciin;; te -aj reth, ig
of the arts, c'.tissi s and 'immunities "
On the h.in!;s of t! e J'tiphrates and 'I igils
the t'nlvcr-ity is known for it- ipoh ipeh
tniiking ai-cheolegical expeditions, and vveid
of i hem has somehow n''ied into the Jlnti-h
Mu-euir and the Sorbonne. Hut the-,, re
gions and institutions tire f.ir from Mack
Hay, se perhaps Dr. Hat' is in -oine degree
excusable.
Ph''.irtelphlans cannot be expected tr be
bfigging perpetually ubcit thrlr University

Illustrious founder or riitu iting the fact
that there were mere son of l'etin in the
Cen'licntal Congress ,llin members from
any ether 'ellege In the hind.
In one sense Dr. Hurt .- right. The
University is net local enough te be na
tional. It has passed tl.it stage en route
te the international nnu.
It may be invidious ami unkind te suggest
that this may be one of the reasons why
Pennsylvania is nml'ted from Dr. Hart's
list of the nationally elite.
Graduates, students and nil friends of
the University of I'ennsrlvnnln have no
personal quarrel with the Harvard professor.
Many of his freely express. views en Inter
national affairs have been these of an l-ola-tlenlst.
He is running true te form in the

stitutleu for the court was prepared and
adopted. That constitution provides that
the members of the court shall be nominated
by The Hague Tribunal and shall be elected
by the Council and Assembly of the League.
The nominations are te be made by the na
tional groups in The Hague Tribunal, but
the nominees may be of nn.v nationality.
Under this arrangement Uelgium named
.lehli llussett Moere, who was later elected.
New it is understood that President
Harding and Secretary Hughes wish te bring
about some arrangement by which the rep
resentative of the United Stnte-i en the court
may be chosen directly by the (everninelit
of the United States. In order te accom
plish this it will be necessary for the League
te amend the constitution of the. court.
It can lie successfully nrgued that The
Hague Tribunal was never intended te act
as a nominating body, and It can also be
nrgued that an international court should
be composed of men suggested In the first
place by the lint Ions which agree te submit
their disputes te it.
If the Administration does net nsk for
anything mere than that the American Gov
ernment be allowed te make Its own nomina
tions there does net appear te be any valid
ob lectien. Hut if the Administration aks
that its nominee shall by virtue of his nomi
nation become a member of the court another
i--ue is raised. The size of the court lnu-t
be limited if it is net te become an unwieldy
body. If it is te be of limited size then
there must be some nutherity cummivsleued
te elect the judges. That authority Is new
the Council and the Assembly of the League.
Still further, the covenant of the League Is
the body of international law which the
court must enforce.
Seme (.tfemists might wish te divorce the
tetirt from the League, but If this were done
It would le-e much of its prestige arising
from the fact that it is the judicial tribunal
backed by the moral support of mere than
fort nations leagued together in the inter
est of International peace.
The simplest wa out of the ntiomaleiis
JHisitien in which the United States llnd-i
it-elf would be for it te join the League.

PHIEADELPHIA. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER
WHY GOVERNOR DICK?
Judge Orlady Asks a Pertinent Ques
tion and Gets an Answer A Man
Who Was Ahead of His Time.
Great Rug Expert Is 'Dead
Ity GFtHMlH NOX McCAIN
JUDG13 GKOHGK 11. OltLAUV, President
Judge of the Superior Court of Pennsyl
vania, is u former officer of the Notional
Guard.
He was known ever the State ns Majer
Orlady, "the tall oak of the middle moun meun
tain," when Governer Hastings appointed
Mm te the then newly created Superior
Court.
Te till- day Judge Orlady keeps in elbow
touch with matters pertaining te the
Guard,
It was this continuing interest which led
him te make an Inquiry recently, which
stirred the curiosity of even the Imperturb
able Themas Lynch Montgomery, librarian
of the Pennsylvania Historical Society.
The Judge, with the perseverance which
has always characterized him in geed works,
finally get his nuywer te the desired ques
tion, which was:
"Why Governer Dick?"
It was Mr. Montgomery who solved the
problem.
THERE isn't a National Guardsman who
has camped at Mount Gretna within
thirty years who does net knew or remember
"Governer Dick."
It's the knell thnt stands out se conspicu
ously nt the great camp ground. It's a dls
tinguishing landmark.
Who se called nopedy seemed te knew.
Judge Orlndy's question and the answer
from patient research by the librarian of the
Historical Society have solved the problem.
This hill, that has looked down upon
Pennsylvania armlet in blue mid khaki ns
thev swung off by company and regiment te
lilting music for three wars, has its identity
established nt la-t.
Here is what Librarian Montgomery has
te say :
"jVTR. A. I). SMITH, who used te be
' the superintendent of the Cornwall
and Lebanon Railroad, tells me that the
knell had no name until the narrow-gauge
lead was built, and thnt Rebert Cole Cele
man, the proprietor of the land nt that time,
named the knell 'Governer Dick' In honor of
tioverner Dick, of Ohie, who was u persenul
friend of his.
"Governer Dick wns much interested in
the National Guard, and as a member of
Congress introduced the measure known ns
the 'Dick bill,' which wns the first success
ful legislation passed by Congress In an
effort te unite the National Guard and the
regular iirmy into one army of the United
States,
"The Adjutant General approves of this
statement.
"The time of the naming was .somewhere
between lSs,", and lS'Wl. Colonel Finney, of
Hurrlsbtirg, says that he remembers it as far
hack as '8,",.
"Colonel David Lewis, of Philadelphia,
has the same Impression, but Smith thinks
it was u little later than this time."
And that settles it!
THE Rev. Charles J. Williams, of Nor Ner Nor
ristewn, is dead.
He was a kindly, courteous, cultured
gentleman, bread -minded and courageous in
his liberality of view.
He was one of the greatest Orlentnl rug
experts and collectors, if net the greatest,
ill the United States.
His collection of beautiful, rare and period
rugs is one of the costliest, largest and most
complete in tills country.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art of New
Yerk hns some of his rarest pieces.
One of the rarest treasures of memory
that I poss, ,s was an hour I spent with
Mr. Williams in the Seuth Kensington Mil
setini, Londen, some years age.
We -t 1 i-i front of the splendid Ardebil
carpet, the m .st beautiful specimen nf Ori
ental rug weaving in the world, 30(1 years
old, while he pointed out the wonders of this
work wrought by the hands of a slave for
the glory of Ged and the honor of
Mohammed. j
The carpet which hangs en the museum

Daily Talks With Thinking Philadelphia en Subjects They
Kneiv Best
ROBERT J. NASH
On Permanent Benefits of the Sesqui-
Centennial
THAT the Sesqui-Centenninl will have
many features which will be Incorpor
ated Inte the permanent life of Philadelphia
te the great benefit of the municipality is
the belief of Rebert J. Nash, secretary of
the Philadelphia Real Estate Beard and vice
president of the Pennsylvania Real Estate
Association.
"I can see in the Sesqui-Centenninl."
said Mr. Nash, "an enormous opportunity
for the permanent benefiting of the City of
Philadelphia, in thnt. If the present thoughts
nre carried out. there is an exeelleet chance
te make Philadelphia one of the great tour
ist cities of the country, if net of the world,
very much ns Purls stands in this respect.
We' will have the chance te take a place
net only ns the workshop of the world, n
position which Is new universally conceded
te us, but also as one of Its great sight
seeing places as well.
Many Rulldlngs te Remain
"It must be remembered thnt many of the
buildings new p'nnned for the Sesqul-Cen-tennlal
will be net only of nrtistlcally
beautiful architecture, but will also be of
lnstlng construction. They will be located
practically In the very heart of thp city
and many of them en the new Parkway,
which Is the gateway te Falrmeunt Park,
the lnrgcst park in the world within the
limits of a great city.
"Philadelphia is no mean city; it has
many things in which It Is net even ap
proached by a vast majority of our American
cities, nnd the Sesepil-Ccntenninl presents
the one opportunity te awaken the citizens
of our own municipality te a realization of
the fact that ours is really the great fity
of the American Commonwealth.
"I have repeatedly talked te numbers of
men nnd women who have traveled all ever
the world, and nuinv of them have said
that Philadelphia ii their choice for a home
cltv. That this was net snld in the nature
of an idle compliment Is shown by the fnct
that a number of them have carried out
this thought te its legitimate consummation
by actually making this city their home.
The Exhibition Buildings
"As I have said, the present plans In
clude the retention of many of the exhibi
tion buildings ns permanent structures, add
ing te the wealth of the city in line build
ings. In ndditien te the Art Gallery, the
new llbrnry building nnd one te be de
voted te the exhibition of engineering nnd
manufacturing science, the plnn of the
Seflqul-Centennial. as I understand it. is
le inreriiiimte nil the permnnent buildings
en the Parkway with the purely exhibition
buildings, and herein Philadelphia has an
niivaiitnKc for a great exposition never be
fore enjoyed by any great city. And It Is
n thing which should net be overlooked
nor its value underestimated.
"Then, ten, It will be the first world's
exposition which has ever been given in the
heart of a great city. At Chicago, St.
Leuis, San Francisce and ether cities which
have had great expo-iilens in the past, the
grounds given ever te the exposition were
at some distance from the city proper,
the dlstnnce In some cases being considerable.
This, tee, is nn advantage which will be
Inestimable.
"Still another enormous advantage, which
hss net been possessed by ether fair cities
of the past Is the fact of the marvelous
setting which lies ready made for the fair.
It Is net a setting constructed by man, hut
is one of nature s own making, nnd noth
ing could be finer for the purpose than the
Parkway as the boulevard, and the banks
of the Schuylkill et Its end. Othec cities
In the past had te make nrtlficlnl lakes
and ether brnuty spots, but we have them
rendv te our hands made by nature herself.
"Philadelphia is today the custodian of
the Natien s most treasured heirlooms in In
dependence Ilnll. thn Liberty Hell, Car
Centers' Hall, the Betsy Ress Heuse, thn
grave of Benjamin Franklin and the site of
the drawing up of the Declaration of In
