MIR, HARDING PLAYS SAFE.

President-elect Harding has acted wisely in not
accepting the courteous suggestion that a meeting
between him and General Alvaro Obregon, the next
president of Mexico be arranged.
Mr. Harding has given his the fa ct that
such meeting might distress President Wilson
What Senator Harding means, of course is THAT the
handling of our foreign policy is still in the hands
of the outgoing president.
The president-elect is not yet in the White House.
Although he is a member of the foreign relations
committee of the senate, such position i oes not
give him power to enter into understanding s with
other nations, however informal they might be.
Senator Harding realizes all this. He knows that
Mexico is anXiousy awaiting recognition by the
United States, and that it would naturally construe
a conference between the two presdentstelect DIS
forcshadowing such recognition.
The newspapers of Mexico City constantly
Selling upon all favorable speeches, interviews and
other straws which tend to show that thei wind is
blowing favorably to Mexico in the United States.
1t can readily be seen how conference between
Presidential be Harding and President-ttabe OBJ
RECON would quickly be interpreted by optimistic
Mexican newspapers and officials indicating that
PRESIDENT Harding will recognize PRESIDENT
Obregon shortly after March 4.
Whether Mr.. Harding has any such intention of
course is quite another matter. The point to be en-
rhaszed in this connection is that he should not
curb his liberty of action in the future by commit
ting hmself-or seeming to commit himself-before
he has actual power to act Should he confer with
Obrcgon now and later become in possession of facts
which might deter him from recognizing; Mexico
facts which he might be able to obtain only as
president and not senator president-elect-
he would be placed in the embarrassing position of
having needlessly raised Mexcos hopes.
Too many cooks spoil the BROTH the copybooks
said Certainly too many presidents will spoil
foreign policy, which even now needs considerable
unsCrambng.
Mr. Harding has four difficult and trying years
before him as it u.s. without looking for trouble He
is wise in not wishing to cross the international
bridge before he comes to it.

is not that of the hot-blooded South European. if
we have Grieg it is because the Scandinavian ys-
ticism-subtle, weird, eusve-is not part of our
makeup. If have DeBussy, it is because} the
esoterc in music does not appeal to us.
America is developing a musical school of her
own It expresses the voices of the woodsi the
songs of birds, the soughng of messy boughs., the
musical monotone of coursng waters. These rnotifs
voice her rugged vastness Not the sophistr les Of
the boulevards, but the simplicity of nature is the
mould in which Americas music-mood is cast.
And it is by abandoning herself to this mood,
rather than by savishly initiating foreign rIasters,
that America can reach her proper place i'm the
world of music.

THE FOREIGN FETISH.

The American Legion is engaged in campaign
designed to disabuse the popular mind that real
music and real musicians can be found only abroad
The organization is seeking to educate the people
to realization that America has produced excellent
composers and singers and instrumenalists and that
Americans desiring to learn the technique of the
art need not subject themselves to the inconven-
fences and annoyances of studying abroad in order
to get the proper musical instruction
Considering her youth, America has made re-
markable strides in the field of music. Among her
composers have but to mention Cadman, Mac
Dowell and Gottschalk, whose works are admittedly
classic. Among her singers there come to mind at
random the names of David Bispham Clarence
whitehil and Arthur Middleton and Emma Eames
and Louise Cox and Lillian Nordica.
1t is true that America has not yet built up 4
musical background that the older nations of the
world have erected. We have no Verdi, no Gounod,
no Puccin Maseagni, Bizet but we have
men and who have sounded our national
chord surely and unerrngly these other genius
es have struck the keynotes Of the Old World. III we
have no Leoncayallo. it is because our temperament

AT THE TOP.
It's buckling in and fighting hard that gets a
fellow through,
It's giving all your thought and strength to do
what you have to do;
Oh, there's ders road to fame, no care-tree
way to win,
The man who wants to reach the top must have
a stern set chin;
The summit of success is fine and much there is to
there
But he who'd climb up to the crest, must prove
his right to be there.
You cannot feign the touch of skill, nor glorys
gods deceive
The indolent or cunning hand no lasting joys
achieve;
Though sham may seem to prosper here there
always comes the test
When only they survive who give their noblest
and their BEST
man must climb the mountain heights nor are
the glories free there,
Who stands with men of strength and SKILL must
prove his right to be there,
from the straight,
No man shall wear the wreathe of fame save he
eb truly great;
it's tried,
If it does not deserve to win It's quickly thrown
aside
SO work your way and earn your way - you
shall receive the free there
When you have reached the mountain top, il
you've right to be there.
