strange that the 1. w. W. found the
alien an eager student oi the literature
that It scattered like leaves to men in
the big industries with the pretense OF
telling the new citizens things he ought
to know? No one else paid any atten-
ton to the mind of the foreign born
workman. No one ever tried to tell
him that there is q larger. faircr. juster
America than anything he ever dreamed
of or sensed in the first uncertain years
of his citizenship. He was left with a
desire for belp and for knowledge. The
I. w. W promised him both-and no
one else did.
All of this and more was in the mind
Of Doctor FaunCc, president of Brown
University. when he reminded the mem
bers of the graduating class at Haver-
ford Yesterday Of work that the enlight-
ened people Of the country will have to
do in the competition with forces which
tend to create distrust in millions OF
men and to use passion and ignorance
as political weapons.
The aloofness of educated people in
matters that relate to the general ques-
ton Of the foreign born in hardly less
regrettable than their occasional atti-
tude of lordly patronage.
The l. W. W. is not a Bolshevik or
ganization. It is nothing so futile. 1t
has shrewd direction and definite pur
poses and its propaganda is tuned care
fully to generate hatred in the minds OF
all workers. Somebody viii have to
compete with it, and somebody will have
to find way to let the aliens in Amer
lea glimpse the real meanings of citi-
zenship in democracy and the oppor-
tunities for happiness that are on every
hand in this country.
The foreigner will have to be led out
Of darkness. He will have to be treated
squarely. College men may be unable
to do these things. But they can at
least try.

ALLEN LOSES HIS CHANCE
TO BE SECOND GARFIELD
Kansas Governors Speech for Wood Fails to Hit Buseye ana
Opportunity Passes Him By-Probaby Too Conscious

issue raised by the personal bitterness
between Roosevelt and Taft by choos-
ing Hadley as n candidate. But Had
ley was wise enough to see that the
quarrel between Taft and Roosevelt had
gone too far to be compromised, and
so he discouraged every suggestion that
his name be brought forward as a can
didate.
He came nearer than any other man
had ever done to refusing a nomination
for the presidency.
Governor Allen missed being Gar
field or Hadley. He had not spoken
dozen sentences before one knew the
convention would not turn to him as
its choice. The thing is hard to ex-
plain. Allen has the reputation of be-
ing an eloquent speaker, but he was
not eloquent in behalf Of General Wood.
In personal contact he shows a vivid
personality, but from the platform you
would have supposed him to be rather
mechanical, commonplace individual.
He did not get over.
Perhaps it was self consciousness. He
had something to do which neither Gar
field nor Hadley had to do. Neither
Of them was a conscious candidate.
Allen was.
Allen had hopes.

JUNE

wv "0h, what is so rare as a day in

June has come to have an even higher
sentimental value than physical, despite

THE CRITIC TALKS
TO MUSIC LOVERS
Weekly Comment on Things Musi-
cal in Discriminating
Philadelphia

THE attendance at the three per-
l. formances of the Puccini Opera
Company, at the Academy of Music last
week, was gratifying one, although it
was by no means so large as the ex-
cellence OF the performance deserved.
The opera has for years been as
much social function as musical
performance. If this unfortunate state
OF affairs did not exist, companies of
the merit Of the one which played here
last week would be received with large
audiences and much enthusiasm. If the
upbuilding of an operate tradition,
which is an essential to this country
ever producing tirst-Cla operate
composers who know the technique of
the opera and how to compose for the
stage is to be accomplished, it will
only be through the education of the
masses of our people to what is good
and what is bad in opera.
This education can only be obtoirod
through repeated hearings Of rho
masterpieces Of operate composition
The main function of the smaller onero
companies and their chief value to onr
music Is to educate. The Metropolitan
opera Company does this to n dcgren
but with only sixteen performances n
season, very much along this line con-
not be accomplished.
