Time for a Price Dead Line

From The Philadelphia Public Ledger
American commodity prices are running
wild. Wheat has jumped far above two dol
lars. Corn is around dollar and half.
Cotton scared above twenty-one cents a
pound. Steel plates have been sold at live
times the price in normal years. Leather
has risen to point where it has resulted in
virtual boycott on shoes. Here is con-
dition which Congress should meet and
solve instantly. The American people ought
not to be the only bellgerents in the world
who are left unprotected by their own gov
eminent in the matter of prices. If Canada
can say to its farmers that S1.37 is the top
limit for wheat it should be possible for the
United States to establish maximum price.
And so with all other staple commodities.
Wars horrors will surely be doubled unless
our government does what other govern
ments have already done, namely, establish
a price dead line. Otherwise the rich will
be able to bid for commodities at any figure,
while the PROSTATE poor suffer.

No Deterioration

tFrpm The Detroit Journal
One OF the little stunts Of the doctor at the
recruiting station is to have the candidate
sit down and cross one leg over the other
Then with the edge of his hand the doctor
comes down sharply on the recruits leg just
above the knee. II the youngsters foot kicks
out il is sign that in one regard he is sound.
Something OF that sort prevails In business.
II the railways hint even a little bit about
raising rates, shippers kick out vigorously.
The thing is automatic, involuntary. By that
we know that the shippers are sound in body
an wind, doing their eight or ten hours of
sleep a night and eating three times day
with their traditional competence
II the time ever comes when the shippers
fail TO respond 10 this stimulus then we will
all know there is something in these whisper
ings Of national deterioration. Until Their,

follow their own will, 20 live under that
system of law and TO use that language
which they desire. The liberation of the
subject races Of Austria will be one OF the
greatest of the contributions to permanent
peace that is imaginable, because 1t IS IN
conceivable that there can be a permanent
peace so long as twenty-three millions OF
Austrians and Hungarians are permitted
10 enslave twenty-seven millions OF Slavs
and Latins. Now that Germany has con-
quered Austria, the peril becomes greater,
because this vast population, organized by
Germany and dominated by the German
military caste, would be an enduring men
ace to the liberties Of the world.
1t is a hopeful sign that Austria should
seek peace. 1t is a hopeful sign that in
seeking peace she renounces all projects
Of annexation. But no such programme
can enlist the support Of an American au-
dience, which must recognize that the war
itself will be without any benefit TO man
kind if it perpetuates a system of human
slavery and fortiies a Hapsburg Hohen-
zollern tyranny along the Danube. We
are marching toward peace. There are
signs that are unmstakable, but the long
agony of the world war should not blind
people to the only method by which repe-
tition can be escaped. The Serb, the ltal-
ian. the Rumanian and the Pole should
gain their liberty, and no just peace can be
had which does not insure this.

A Discovery in Art

II is instructive TO learn that Nj. Marcel
Duchamp has discovered 1.-TWO great paint
ings" at the notable exhibition of the In
dependent Artists in the Grand Central
Palace. Upon one of these it is unneces-
sary TO dwell, since the merits Of the artist
concerned have been sufficiently adver-
tised on former occasions. The other,
however, is the work of one who for long
years has striven vainly to persuade the
people of New York Of his versatile genius,
and it must be profoundly gratifying to
him to find at last perfect kindred spirit
the illustrious painter Of "The Nude
Tumbling Down Stairs
How long regulations survive in the
realm of the New Art is a doubtful point,
but when the Cubists and their fellow
conspirators first took the town by storm
a few years ago the name of Marcel Du-
champ was always spoken with profound
reverence by the leaders Of modern taste.
He was then the very essence of all that is
advanced in picture making, and nod OF
approval from so great man would surely
have established the fame of the most
unpromising dauber eXtant
1t may therefore be hoped for Mr.. Eli
shemus's sake that his discoverer still has
some credit among this years Moderns,
for it will save him a world of pains in
prasing himself an occupation which has
hitherto taken up far too much of the time
he might have spent in painting, writing
plays and poems, composing music or prac-
Using any of the numerous arts in which
he exces. 1t was an occupation, too,
which he must have hated, though forced
by the spirit of the times to engage in it.
His poetical remarks on this point may be
recalled:
This is the age when boastings go
When poems sell which have no poetry there
When, sacrilegious to Arts canons fair,
Small men write sonnets: trihes for the low.
In those days the egotisn forced upon
him by a neglectful public had not taken
possession of his name, and he called him.
self Elshemus, without the two is. In
the past his modest ambition had been to
gain admission to the National Academy.
He relates the sequel in free verse:
But now know the falseness of the name.
The Academy is a mere private club;
There's nothing National: see the game?
We have no public exhibition buildings
So, artists not in the swim (this is the rub
To insure admission toady for membership.
He tried direct appeal to the critics,
but with no more success:
T'other day sent four letters to the press,
Inviting the art-critics to my room
Since had sixty oils in gala dress
To be noticed. They never camel me,
what gloom
TO my distracted soul!
walls of New York Artist-Painter"
is the title of this remarkable poem, and
it is as gloomy throughout. But now that
he has at last been discovered by the cele-
brated NJ. Marcel Duchamp, Mr.. Eli
shemius will perhaps be persuaded to
round it off with a cry Of triumph and a
final dig at the blindness of the critics.

The Opera Season Ends

The New York opera season Of 19l6-l7
closed last night with the performance Of
"The Canterbury Pilgrims" The season
has been, on the whole, a successful one
financially a veritable triumph, artistically
solid. if not brilliant. Of one thing in
particular General Manager Gatti-Casazza
may well be proud-every promise of nov
city and revival has been kept. At the
beginning of the season Signor Gatti an
nounced the first production on any stage
of an American opera, Reginald De Koven's
"The Canterbury Pilgrims; the first pro-
auctions in America Of Zandonais Fran
cesca da Rimini" and Gluck's 'Iphigenia
in Tauris"; the first complete production
in New York of Bizet's lies Pecheurs de
Perles," and revivals of Delibes's "Lakme'
and Massenet's "ThaIs." Though none of
these operas was German work, the Met
ropolitan's neutrality in things artistic was
sttested by the singing Of "Iphigenia" in
German, which, if neutral, was perhaps
artistically doubtful.
The breadth of view shown by the Met
ropolitan's management in the presenta-
ton of German works, which means, of
course, Wagner, was equalled by the pub
lies reception Of them. The Wagnerian
music dramas were never better attended
and throughout the season there was, on
the part of the audience, not a single ex-
preston of chauvinism. Wagner, like
Bach, Beethoven and Mozart, belongs to
4 the worlds artistic treasurehouse. To eX-
clude these composers because of the sins
of their descendants would be alike harm
full and ridiculous. 1t is to be hoped that
the coming season will continue to see
them in the repertory, though there might
be no harm in emitting two or three of the
Wagner works and presenting the others
restricted and revivifed.
The season has not discovered any new
singers of extraordinary promise, due to
the fact that the war has shut off the Eu-
ropean field. This condition, however,
ought to bring American trained singers to
/ the fore, and it is understood that SignOr
Gatti has already engaged for the coming
year several young Americans. A national
/ art, to possess any real vitality, must
spring from the soil. Americans long ago
proved themselves equal to the best the OPP
cratic world provides, and there is no rea-
son to believe that the present generation
lacks the talent of the past. If it lacks
the training because of the conditions
forced by the war, the opportunity is now
provided the Metropolitan Of developing a
school Of native singers. The same oppor-
tunity opens for the works Of American
composers That "The Canterbury Pill
grims" proved itself far from a master
piece ought not to prevent the production
of other native operas.
The Metropolitan Opera Company is TO-
day the great operate institution of the
world. It's past has been brilliant, its pres
ent is admirable, its future rich III posi-
bilities. Perhaps it will find itself no less
cosmopolitan in having a larger number
of American singers on its roster and in
presenting a greater number of American
/ operas

(Fron, The Westminstsr Gdsette)
There are many countries that ! have not
seen
And many kinds Of men have not met;
But all the gracious towns where have been
Haunt in my brain and whisper there and set
Strange echoes going with their lovely names,
Birdlip and Paris, Fontainebleau and Wells,
Places that live in me like happy dreams
And sound in the present day like distant
bells.
Here am set and there's no end, no end;
Too soon tire vision closes, too long remains,
Like the last long talk one had with a lost

Whose memory fingers on when friendship
wancs.
Better to stay at home! The towns one sees
Trsmmel the day with stupid memories.

Don't Smear Olson's
Memory With Blood

Mere words fail to express the depth of re-
gre t felt throughout the state over the muir
der of e. w. Olson, chairman of the state in
dustrial insurance commission and former la
Dor commissioner.
Yet let not his death lend itself to a cause
which he, in life, would have disapproved.
Olson was not the kind of man who demanded
''tooth for tooth, and an eye for an eye"
Olson was not for capital punishment.
The state did away with the hanging law in
1913. That law was a relic Of barbarism. 1t is
just as barbaric today, after Olson's death, as
it was before. The state has no more moral
right to murder in revenge than has any pr-
vate individual.
Let not the legislature be stampeded into
any frenzied demand for capital punishment
law.
1t would be the saddest kind of tribute to
pay to the memory of man who strOve to
make things more human and less barbaric-
and that was the kind of man Olson was
To repeal the anti hanging law because of
Olson's death would be to smear his memory
with blood. The state owes Olson much
more deserving mark Of esteem.
