laps, for a number Of the magnitude of this the

the initial number of the Auditorium rectals, it IS

Auditorium Tuesday night. In the annals of musical
history OF this city there has not been SO pronounced

Miss Flora 3. Harmon, long a favorite in this city,
opened the program with a piano group, prelude by
Raclmininoff, and Waltz, opus AZ, Chopin. Miss
HarmOn's numbers were marked with a musicianship
which is rich with promise, and in response to an
insistent encore, she played Mon Desir," by Nevin.
Miss Nelson, petite i'll person and beautiful and
magnetic iii personality, opened her program with
a group Of English songs, But Lately in Dance" by
Arensky. and ''Serenade," by Strauss, evidencing
particularly her fine command Of the vocal art.

tons.
That suggestion is Out OF order, not to say unpar-
liamentary. Our diplomatic service is already too
restricted. 1t is complained that poor men are shut
out. Now if orators also are made taboo, where
shall we be?
Another thing. Three years hence one OF the first

Great Britain. Should he be denied his chance?
Should he 90 robbed of his most notable gift?
Would he serve the country half so we'll in that
place if denied the opportunity to respond to toasts,
or otherwise meet the expectations Of his hosts in
the British capital?
If Woodrow Wilson is reelected President, way
not William j. Bryan for ambassador, to Great
Britain. a. '
When Mr.. Cleveland returned to the White House
he made Thomas r, Bayard, who had been Secretary
of State under his first administration, our repre-.
sentative at London. Mr.. Bayard wanted to go, and
the appointment was much applauded. The change
was precisely to his taste. The humdru.n Of the
State Department had now no lure. While the brilliant
society Of London heckoned strongly. And Mr.. BAY
ard greatly enjoyed his London stay.
This history may be repeated. If this administra.
ton. is Endorsed, Mr.. Wilson will probably make
some. changes, and a change at London may be-
among-the number. Mr.. Bryan may decide that he,
has had enough of the State Department, and London
may beckon him as it did Mr.. Bayard. If SO there can
be no doubt that Mr.. Wilson will be glad to oblige
him..
Mr.. Bryan in the London post would be the first
OF his kind. We have sent some eloquent men there,
but never a popular orator. Among the later ap.
%potntees, Mr.. Lowell, Mr.. Hay and Mr.. Reid we're
writer's rather than speakers. Mr.. Phelps and Mr..
Choate were speakers with the courtroom style. But
MI. Bryan would give Johnny Bull a sample of the
oratory that stirs the crowd in America, and produces
results at the polls; and, as different as their own
style 1s, the English would enjoy the exhibition.
How about 1920? Well, Franklin Pierce sent
James Buchanan to London in 1863, and Buchanan
succeeded Pierce in the presidency. The old fox
was out Of the country during a period of danger
for democratic politicians, and when he returned tho
course was easy for him. There is no resemblance
between Mr.. Buchanan and Mr.. Bryan in methods
or gifts, but even as bold and aggressive q man as

Taft at Yale

Ihls Is MIR. TattS reply to a rumor connecting his
name with the presidency Of a Delaware college: II
l am quite content with my position in Now

university or college for two reasons, first, because
I am not fitted for it, and, second, because l have

IN leaving the bench for politics, and in remaining
In politics against his inclination to return to the
bench. Mr. Taft yielded his judgment to others. Mr..
Mckinley persuaded him to go to the Philippines
and Mr.. Roosevelt to try for the presidency rather
than accept a place on the Supreme bench, which
was at his command. &c., @y
Now Mr.sTaft3 will stand upon his own knowledge

work, ne appraises them by what they demand and
what he feels himself able to give. And so. finding
himself well placed, and his duties ~congenial, he will
remain where he is.
undoubtedly Mr.. Taft is most useful employed,
as The Star stated the other day when rumor con-
nected his name with the chief justiceship of the
United States Supreme Court. He is far more than

long delayed.

Garden Seed Problem,

While the Washington correspondents are making
merry war over the rhetorical defense of the allot-
ment of 10. 900 packages of garden and flower seed
to each Congressional district, made by Representa-
tive" Fowler of Illinois, discerning readers observe
that thesappropriation of S257,0OO for seed distribu-
ton, which does not include cost of carriage, went
through the House. While the other members "jol-
lied" Mr.. Fowler, they did not oppose the appropria.
ton. This %perquisite. is too valuable politically for
Congressman to surrender it at request of the De-
partment If Agriculture or as a result of the shafts
of satire hurled at them by the city press or city
Congressman.
THE value of the garden seed to the recipient is
incOnsequential. But to be personally remembered
by the member Of Congress is another matter. The
average citizen. even though scoffing at the practice,
feels some pride when he finds that his Congress
man considers him Of sufficient Importance to try
to gain his favor. And human beings rejoice in
getting something for nothing, even If they indirectly
pay for it through taxation. The Congressman who
stays long on his job never neglects these little
things. He usually employs a private secretary, who
is an indefatigable worker and who judiciolsly sends
out garden seed and literature. He is careful to
attend to every request by mail and to foster the
1c:cf that he especially delights to honor a particu-
lar constituent. The tenure. of office of such Con.
grsssmep is much longer than that of members who
expect 4 grateful people to reward them for their
lights on the floor. The members who devote much
time to dcjatc and to constructive legislation have
these little tlings attended to by their secretaries,
if they arc wise.
Mr.. Fowler was Granker than some of his col
leagues in openly defending the garden seed privi-
lego. Eut there is some question as to whether be
was wise in opposing the plan to have the distribu-
ton made by the Department of Agriculture directly,
using lists of addresses furnished by congressman.
There might have been some advantage in such an
arrangement. The congressman could assure his
constituents by an imitation typewriter circular letter
that he had placed their names on the list and re-
quested the Department Of Agriculture to send them
seed from time to time. He could request that he
be notified OF any remissness Oh the part OF that
department. He could also request that he be ad.
vised of the failure of any of the seed to terminate,
so that he might have, the matter investigated. This
would further aatter the vanity Of the constituent,
who would feel himself cooperating with his Con-
gressmans in seeing that q great department of the
government was properly performing its functions.
And in event the seed failed to ,germinate or turned
out to bs something different. from representations
OH the label the Congressman would be held blame,
less. H4i
But. why not dispense with the custom altogether?
It is the belief of many, that the money is poorly
spent, and could be used to better advantage.
