Senator Harding's reply said in
part:
This has the ring of real American
ism and l am delighted with the testi

rectly estimated the significance of
this issue.
On this issue. arganized labor and
all other labor and all citizens are
going to get together to end the sub
mergence of our nation in Internation-
alism.
This issue. in my judgment, is do
ing more than anything else to draw
the real American and patriotic senti-
ment of the country, and to wipe out
all class and group distinctions.
I'm the face of the menace of inter
nationalism we are all Americans first
Our country will do its full share III

CROWDED

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger. nn7 ONELY in crowded life, not " lonelier in death." wrote Fran
 ~ cis Thompson of Cecil Rhodes; and the line speaks for the isolation Of many a life that is too large for it's surroundings. a life that shines in darkness and is not comprehended. "yoyaging through strange seas or thought alone" wrote Wordsworth or Isaac Newton; and Kipling described the course of Joseph Chamberlain as in all the loneliness of. wings"
 To leave the crowd is to be lonely. Yet one may be just as lonely in crowd. You may be surrounded ny those whose ways are not as your ways with your thoughts afar. The body may be in and, of the present. while the spirit dwells with posterity or with futurity.
 Who likes to be showed and hustled! In a holiday season, that seems to bring everybody on the streets at once. the shrinkage of the space makes still more room for the play and interplay of a radiant good nature. Let the at mosphere be genial and the encounter ioyial, if it be possible. If we are going to sulk and spread a gloom. 1t were better to stay at home and close the blinds.
 The crowd will take it's temper and the tenor of it sway from what we brinr to it. We must not be afraid of it's immensity. It wants our help. It is willing to accept our leadership. Many not worthy of their captaincy are commanding some part of 1t now. They are allowed the place as officer often because no better guidance vol- unteers.

 m ARIS has been cursed in recent l years by the invasion of ,.sin-
 inc cults who exploit their ri diculous ideas in serious fashion 'n the name of the advancement of art. We
 find the cubists, futurists, modernists and, to the shame of what little may be left in real human intelligence, even the Dadaists-that preposterous .nfan- title movement-existing and, in a meas lure making a success. It seems 70 be
 success by doing something absolutely ridiculous and sensational in art to at tract attention, which probably would not be possible under other conditions, rather than by doing som mething serious to invite judgment. The originators of the movements have affected a com- plete indifference as to what people think about their productions. refusing the opportunity to give explanations of their work when the chance occurs, and this in itself clothes these charlatans with an air of mystery that makes people think there might be something to it after all.
 The various fads have had an influ- ence in the theatre. We have had to go to see the stage set in scenery horribly drawn, out of all proportion and per spective. clashing in color effects and all without purpose, and hear people around raving at the wonderful soul and exquisite sentiment expressed therein. Everybody thought that the limit to this nightmare of perverted art had been attained in the Russian
 mare of sensational originality that was pulling them along to the very limit. They made a success in pro-
 ducing some of the greatest tomfool- cry that has ever been put before a grown-up audience.
 Seeing this success inspired others to try it on the dog. They had rnly probably heard the first part of 7z-in- colns saying on the possibilities of scenery, with cubist music on cubist fooling people. One man hired 2 tnea- Ire to put on cubist plays with cubist instruments, all played by what seemed to me cubist men, for they were far from real. It is funny. but in all these affairs there is an enticing odor of Peau dEspagne in the atmosphere. He
