THE DEBT TO cAMPANINl

COME Philadelphians will remember
~ Cleofonte Campanini as the manager
Of the opera company which used to di-
vide it's time between this city and Chi
cago. The memory is pleasurable; but it
is imperfectly reflective of the highest
significance Of the man.
Mr.. Campanini, in addition to being a
conductor Of conspicuous abilities, was i
tireless foe of cobwebs and dust III
music. AS such he naturally appealed to
Oscar Hammerstein in the momentous
days of the opera revolt. Modern musi-
cal Europe had donned a lustrous new
artistic mantle America knew Of it
chiefly by hearsay.
With the resourceful Oscars unique
talents to back him, Mr.. Campanini re-
vealed the glow and dramatic sincerity
Of "Louise," the splendor of "Samson ct
Dalila," the wistful subtlety OF "Pelleas," !"
the irony and passion of "Thais," the
surge and thunder of "Salome.' 1t was
his genius which quickened these scores
with life, incorporated them into our
musical standards, revivifed grand opera,
glorifed it's potent development into
music drama.
Philadelphia and New York alike owe
to the energy and artistic vigor and in
itiative of the late conductor an incal-
culable debt. His influence is stamped
for good in the record Of operate prog
ress. 1t is hardly imaginable that the
picturesque Hammerstein could have JUS
tilted his proud boasts of accomplish
ments without the aid of the discern
ment, the zeal and constructive force of
Cleofonte Campanini, producer Of more
new works than any one in our operate
history.
The two men, although their associa-
tion lasted but three years, formed re-
markable pair indispensable to an ex-
traordinary and wholesome revolution in
American taste.
It is significant that Mr.. Campanini
DR.. Horatio Parker and Signor Illica, the
latter the co-librettist with the late
Giacosa of "La Boheme," "Tosca" and
"Madama Butterfly" died within few
days of each other. The trio are typical
Of notable era in music, one of the
epochs of artistic refreshment that come
all too rarely,

MR. PALMER'S Jolly Elk

IF A. MITCHELL PALMER is not the
Il unhappiest attorney general in his
tory he ought to be. Once it appeared
that Burleson was to be the official mar
tyr Of the Democratic administration,
the bearer of all blame, the stole taker
Of punishment. Lansing is yearning
toward that role, but his progress is
relatively slow. McAdoo has drifted
close to the stake on several occasions.
But he gets away.
Mr.. Palmer is not so astute. He is
going-indeed, he has gone-straight to
the affairs of sacrifice. He is in q posi-
ton now where blame for all the woes
against which people cry out and all the
consequences of the recent brilliant
series OF cabinet mistakes will almost
surely fall terribly upon his defenseless
head.
1t is pretty generally admitted that
the coal strike injunction was shy and
timid idea in the cabinet until the attor-
ney general took it out walking and
made it his very own. And it is even
more definitely and more generally ad-
mitted that as means for strike set
tlement, as a means to eliminate unrest,
to pacify unions, to make friends for Mr..
Palmer or his party it was a failure,
utter and complete.
Now the attorney general is to be
summoned before a Ser.ate committee of
inquiry, which is supposed to be inter
ested in the details of the coal contro-
versy. Senate committees of inquiry
have become something of bore. Too
often they do not inquire for facts or
for truth. They inquire for political is
sues. The senators are now upon a warm
trail. They will have little trouble in
grilling unhappy confessions from Mr..
Palmer if they press him hard enough.
Already some Of the sterner critics of
the administration are calling shrilly
for Mr.. Palmer's resignation. They point
out, shrewdly enough, that failures and
mistakes of method and policy as great
as those that may be traced to the attor-
ney generals office would compel the
retirement of any high official in any
other parliamentary government. This
is sad business for man who was think
ing only a little while ago Of the
presidency.

FRlENDLEss MOTORS

TRAFFIC will move more easily and
more quickly in the central section of
the city if the rigid parking restrictions
urged by the P. R. 7. are applied to
motors. But what of all the people who
find motorcars necessary convenience
second only to the trolleys? A man who
drives to his work or his business can
not put his automobile in his pocket. He
cannot take it indoors with him.
There is a suggestion of clumsiness
and ineficiency in the rule that would
put all motorcars under "keep-moving"
rule between Girard avenue, South street
and the two rivers.
The Bureau of Highways, the police
and the P. r. T. should recognize the
legitimate rights of motorcars and find a
way in which parking space may be
provided at convenient places under
police protection, if it is necessary, and
even if other traffic has to be diverted.
There is space on the Parkway. Some
of the cross streets could be used down.

doesn't mean that automobiles have none.

MORE ATRoclrY

r oNG labor and loving care were de-
~ voted to the expansive understruc-
trre of General Words campaign for the
Republican nomination for the presidency.
The structure of hope built from that
foundation presented ornate and expen-
sive facades. 1t looked charming in
some lights. Pious hands were still busy
at it yesterday, the bright towers were
going farther toward the sky when the
SCATTERING reverberations of the an
nouncement Of General Pershing's candi-
dacy made the earth tremble.
The sense of horror and outrage that
must have swept architects, landscape
gardeners, decorators and devotees in the
service of General Wood may be mag
med by some. We prefer not to dwell
upon it. We prefer to turn our gaze
away from the ruin Of another great
work of art.

commente on the Team

With team like this great variety of
ground gaining plays can be pulled off with
assured success. Note particularly the pow
erful left side Of the line, where our stub
born realists and satirists play. On the at
tack, this trio is ne plus ultra. Our idea of
good mass play, when near the goal line
(that is to say, near the bottom of the
column) is to give the ball to William McFec
and have him hit the line between left guard
and left tackle. The right side we save for
more romantic forays, lyrical end runs and
the emotional forward pass. When there is
any serious sentimental work to be done we
can count on Phoebe Hoffman for admirable
inter ference, and Sub Rosa has been known
to carry the ballad for consistent gains into
the hearts of the enemy. If anything should
happen to Captain McFee, MacKnight Black
could run the team with excellent pep.
NJ. V. N. S. is another recent addition to
the squad who will bear watching, and her
ingenious method of running back puns and
dodging in a broken field shows her to be
a player of great promise. Mr.. Bellem Is,
on the whole, our steadiest all-around per-
former. We can hardly imagine the Dish
in the status quo ante Bellem.

MO ONE who knows Bromley Wharton,
~ secretary Of the State Board of Charities,
former secretary to Governor Pennypatker
member of the City Troop, etc, would ever
think of him us cook. Moreover, he was
a cook for q Governor and high state
officials once upon time.
It was this way;
During the session of 1905 choice col
lection of legislative souls, among whom were
Senators James Z. McNichol, John NJ
Scott, William II. Keyser, Speaker Harry
Walton, Israel W. Durham and others. took
over the Boas mansion on North Front
street, Harrisburg, as an abode.
They invited Governor Pennypacker and
his private secretary. Bromley Wharton, to
dinner one night. At the last minute they
discovered that the cook had been sampling
the wine instead Of her sauces and gravies.
The canvas back ducks were a crisp and
the other edibles were fit only for the
garbage can. Fortunately the oysters. the
soup and the salad were intact. Then the
Governor came.
Bromley, who accompanied the Gov
ernor, was hurriedly let into the agonizing
secret The next instant the Governors
carriage was whirling down to the Har-
risburg Club, where every available roast
fowl was commandeered. Then on TO Jim
Russ's Senate restaurant, where the iceboz
gave I'D more, in addition to couple dozen
of croquettes.
Then the equipage dashed back to the
Boas mansion, and Bromley dashed from ii
into the kitchen with his provender; 9
cooks apron around his waist; croquettes
on the fire. roast chicken chucked into the
oven; swift and fancy carving; and 10! in
Afteen minutes the day was. saved, though
the soup was then on the table.
Mr.. Wharton came in with the roast ant
seated himself modestly at the board whilC
| the blessings of his hosts, whom he haC
saved, mingled silently with the sparkles o.
! his champagne.
You see he had learned to cook as Trooper
Wharton in 1893.

THE DOUBLE CROWN

MAN must rouse, with no deferring,
A'A Swiftly ride, with constant squirting,
Loudly knock the door of Fate

For the guerdons of ambition,

Only with the foremost mate.

F'evered cup that will not safe,
He must win it ere he's weary,
Ere old age hies bleak and dreary;
If not, lifes end well may fear he
Even Within palace gate.
But dreams he Of what is higher,
mat grows lovelier with desire,
Twill not wither if he wait?
For, defying hosts Internal
Crown of both worlds, grand, eternal,
Love alone, sublime, supernal -
Only Love comes ne'er too late.
