Emphasis is likely to be laid on the
Importance of insisting on equal rights

FTHE million or more contributed to the
endowment fund of the Philadelphia
Orchestra will prove to be the best in
vestment ever made by. the people of this
city if it can be used to make the gen
eral public better acquainted with Mr..
Stokowski's organization and its work.
The orchestra interprets a literature as
rich and various as anything written in
books. Music of the sort that endures
is like light. 1t illuminates, times and
motives that are past and it is filled
with meaning, glorious and profound, for
any one who knows how much there is in
life and in human aspirations that words
cannot express. No one ought to be
shut away from it, Yet circumstances
beyond the control of the orchestra and
its directors have created an atmosphere
of exclusiveness about the Academy con-
certs. The number of people who can
buy season tickets is relatively small
So the rank and file were left to fare as
they could in the queue line and the
upper balconies.
Even now it is difficult to suggest a
manner in which the orchestra may make
itself generally heard and! understood.
But DOCTOR mart ana tne OIHeTS dsSo-
ciated with him in the effort to use the
new endowment fund to the best advan-
tage hope to find a way and we wish
them luck.
Orchestra leaders have always found it
difficult to reach grounds of common un-
derstanding with what are called popular
audiences. 1t is apparent at times that
they make a mistake in the attempt to
play down to the multitudes. The multi
tude is far from lacking feeling and a
critical sense. 1t will swiftly reject
whatever is dull and pretentious. Yet it
has little sympathy with the shabby and
hackneyed music that too often filfs out
so-called popular programs. If there are
to be great public concerts in this city
they ought to include compositions that
are dgnifed and impressive. Music of
the sort likely to be of exclusive interest
to the technicians ought to be left for
other times.

ment is highly expensive and it is highly
profitable to the makers. Any extended
system of military preparation will here
after be almost as expensive as war
itself in money alone. 1t will remove
vast numbers of young men from schools
and from productive employment for long
periods. Some such costly alternatives
may be necessary and even imperative
later along. But for the time being the
nation ought to be permitted to look
clearly at both sides Of the question and
to decide according to its needs and not
according to the desires >>ef selfish or
emotional cliques.
General Price and any one else who
continues to keep the whole general ques-
tion of future preparedness out in the
light is doing a service to the country.

SUGAR

,SUGAR is a food. 1t is not a luxury.
~ When it is withheld the people are
left without an important commodity
that cannot be dispensed with without
some thought of the consequent effects
upon general health.
Sugar is now no more scarce in Europe
than it is here, where most of it is pro-
duced and refined. Vast quantities have
been exported in recent months. While
Europe is in want any talk of embargoes
on food from the United States may not
sound pleasant. But if the sugar short
age continues the public will demand a
fuller explanation than any yet offered
and Congress will be required to correct
a situation that involves undue hardships
for the country, while it permits at least
some producers to demand prices far be-
yond any ever contemplated before.
1t is all very we'll to help Europe. But
the welfare work of the government is
a little like charity. 1t ought to begin
at home

GENERAL PRICE ON MILlTARISM

MO ONE familiar with the record of
the Twenty-eighth Division, or the
Pennsylvania National Guard, would call
General William G. Price either paci-
fist or an amateur in military science
What General Price said when he
brought up the question of compulsory
military training for discussion at the
American Legion convention in Mime
aporis is therefore authoritative and of
interest not only to Pennsylvania, but to
the whole country. He charged that
there is a lobby inspired by the army
general staff to institute an "un-Ameri-
can" system of compulsory military
training under government direction.
The army staff doubtless is sincere and
intent merely on getting military eff
cheney of high order without regard to
methods. That is what army stats are
for. In other quarters there is noticeable
enthusiasm for compulsory training sys-
tens of a peculiarly drastic sort, and not
all of it is inspired by patriotism or a
sense of duty. Before long the country
will have to decide how and to what
extent it wishes to prepare for war. And
the people deluged as they will be with
Propaganda of a peculiarly subtle sort,
ought always to remember that military
training in the future, if it is organized
upon large scale, will not be like mill
tary training of the past. More will be
required than a few guns and field to
drill in.
The military organization Of the future
will have men and guns as mere Incl
dentaIs. Training will have to be based
upon vast and elaborate systems of artil-
lery. tanks, dirigibles, airplanes, gas and
chemical machinery and all the rest Of
the devices, perfected and in contempla-
ton, that science has evolved for pur-
noses Of destruction, That sort of equip

had entirely lost it's appetite. ordinarily
large Fuel forced upon it lay undgested !;
lay heavy on its tummy. Nothing but Mr..
Pegs newspapers and Mr.. Pcgg's patience
went up in smoke. The wood refused to
CATCH though he criss crossed it pains
takingly on top of piles of paper, and after
every little iare-up there was drop in
coal never reflected in the market reports.
SO Mr.. Pegg at last teephoned the place
where they sell heaters and they said they
/, would send man to give it treatment at the
earliest possible moment which, of course,
meant that the Pegs were going to wait
long, long time. And they did. And the
time came at last when Mr.. Pegg said he
would wait no longer, and that the very
next AFTERNOON. Saturday, he was going to
pull the 'innards' out of that furnace and
give it thorough overhauling.
Mrs. Pegg was alarmed She knew that
Silas had no more mechanical ability than
rooster. Anything that was done around
the house she had to do So without say
ing word to anybody she decided to fix that
furnace herself, and do it before her husband
got home.
She never would have thought of the over
alls if she hadn't seen them negligently re-
ciining on the window screens stored for
the winter. The garments had been left by
the colored man who had whitewashed the
cellar. He had left hurredly to accept
position as bellboy in hotel. As he was
going to wear gorgeous uniform, he didn't
have no use for dem t'ings nohow And
Mrs. Pegg donned them. The whitewasher
was a whale of man and

Mrs. Pegg looked like barge, broad in the
beam and tight in the seams. That last
phrase may not be correctly nautical but it
is descriptive.
And this was the moment Fate ordained
that the Rev.. Edgar Nossngton should
make a pastoral call on his parshioners, the
Pegs. He knocked at the front door and,
getting no reply, walked around to the back.
and came face to face with Mrs Pegg as she
carried pail Of ashes up the cellar steps.
Mrs. Pegg was embarrassed: so was the
pastor. But they are both good sports. and
instead of trying to pass it off they both
laughed.
I'm really well pleased with the parson.
One naturally would not expect any stiff
ness from woman brave enough to don
overalls and tackle a furnace, but il was
somewhat trying for a young clergyman to
meet one Of the most digniied members of
his flock, woman old enough to be his
mother, masquerading in overalIs That he
took it as matter of course is greatly to
his credit. He went into the cellar with her,
examined the furnace and said, Mrs. Pegg,
if you take 'em off I'll put them on and
you can boss the job.
So Mrs. Pegg took a trip upstairs to the
kitchen, removed 'em and took them down to
