have beralded the approach Of tasty
multitudes.
There is. Of course, considerable
annual catch nowadays, but it is pitt
fully small compared with the inspiring
hauls Of the past. Shad on the local
restaurant menus is climbing in price
steadily and mournfully into the old ter
rapin class. An appetizing common
place has become almost luxury.
All sorts Of reasons--including our
implacable old acquaintance, the law of
supply and demand-are offered to ex-
plain the costliness and scarcity. An
undoubted factor in the case is the in
dustrialization of the river. The fish
commission has taken practical steps to
encourage propagation, but fish are shy
creatures. distrustful both of science
and civilization.
They arc crratic, too. Not long ago
the seductivcly edible tilefish swarmcd
off our coasts. Within a year they all
but utterly vanished.
At any rate, it strains the purse to
be enthusiastically epicurcau in these
parts today. Pepperpot, scrapplc and
cheesecake remain, but shad is stand
off fish. The gastronomic atmosphere
is cloudcd. The town is not pleased.

VANDERBILT AND THE SENATE

TT Is debatable If we sometimes do
L not exaggerate our shortage of "big"
men. Herbert Hoover, whatever his
chances, lends interest and stimulus to
the presidential campaign. In New
York state discussion on nominees for
the United States senatorship is in
order. Mr.. Wadsworth's fitness for
representing so great n commonwealth
has been criticized. Stand patters in
political thought have frowncd upon the
search for candidates commensurate with
the dignity and importance of the state.
The ground has been called sterile.
And yet Frank II. Nanderlip is now
seriously mentioned as a possible nom
inee. The times are not irretrievably
black when such men as he are consid-
ering the propriety of entering politics.
Mr.. Vanderlip's equipment is of a
very high order. He is at once fnan-
cier and a profound economist. bril-
liant organizer of unQuestioned integ.
rity and sound, comprehensive vision.
His little book. "What Happened to
Europe" published last year in this
newspaper. is packed more closely with
illuminating facts and lucid interrrets =
tions than many n shelf full Of volumes
on the wars uncertain aftermath.
He would be an ornament to the Sen
ate, justifying its pretensions as a body
OF elder statesmen" in the most re
assuring sense Of that term. One or two
Vanderlips in Congress might indeed
have saved us from the treaty disgrace.

EDUCATION FOR INDUSTRY

DEFORE the war great deal Of
- American cotton was shipped to Eu =
rope and there dyed. woven and re
turned to the United States to command
higher price than similar fabrics man .
ufactured in this country could bring.
Fabricated metal in many forms was
similarly more valuable than the Amcri
can output because of the way in which
it was prepared abroad. What did the
French and the British add to the
American raw material? Grace, merely
superior design and character expressive
Of trained artistic sense.
DR.. Samuel F. Capcn. director of tho
National Council of Education. and
others who insisted at the Drexel In
Stitutc conference yesterday that Amer

a budget big enough for the needs Of
the community without burdeniug the
people with heavy taxes.
The right kind of controller could
be Of great service in accomplishing
these things. And 1t would be the best
kind of politics for the Governor, to
appoint man equipped to give this
sort of service. A political appoint
meut-that is, the appointment of a
man selected to strengthen one faction
or another Of the party-might please
the professional politicians; but the ap-
pointment Of man who would shake
up the office as it was shaken up by
Pattison would please thousands where
the political appointment would please

cheney which Governor Sproul showed
when he named Doctor Fincgan state

would induce him to consider merit and
fitness before all else in naming a con

a legitimate right to offer and inspire
constructive criticism. Their prosperity
and therefore the prosperity of the city
and its people is largely dependent on
efficient transit service. II the city is
to be broken up into series Of isolated
communities by inadequate car service,
everybody will suffer in one way or
another.
Mr.. Mitten and his associates have
done extremely we'll in the face of over.
whelming difficulties. 1t is apparent
that the concerted movement of business
organizations for a new survey of the
trolley service does not imply criticism
of the Mitten administration. What the
business associations seem to seek is n
method by which some Of the millions
paid annually out of street car fares
TO the paralyzing clump of underlying
companies may be diverted to the i'm

understand and acclaim the causes for
which he laborcd until he was cx-
haustod Failure in mighty quest is
not dishOnornblc thing, in their phi
losophy, and they will not admit that
defeat can change tho face e truth.
These WilSonilp> will be- the first to
feel diSquioted by the rocurrPnt third

know that for various reasons a third

Mr. Wilson : work in tho White House
is done and that great and important
task is waiting for the one man who
may be depended upon to write an i'm
partial history Of the Paris conference
and advise tho world Of conditions that
make world peace seemingly impossible
They will hope that the rumors and the
poIitical gossip Of the hour are without
basis and that recent fantastic speeches
ia the House were a waste Of words.
Yet. while representatives and Srna

things. they rarely fail 10 read accu

for their present beliefs, Mr.. Wilson s
greatest failure is yet before him The

as matters stand, 1t will be blamed for
all the unavoidable stresses and hard
ships Of tho war period That has been
tho fate Of every political party in like
circumstances. A third term candidacy
would be- the ultimate disaster But it
would do harm not only to the Democ
racy. 1t would do harm to the country.
For the reactionary element in the op-
positiou camp would have little reason
TO be constructive or even cautious. It

preferred. The composition is evidently
one of Mr.. Stokowski's favorite sym

reading. As Is always the case when
the conductor for any reason is in
spired to unusual work, the members OF
the orchestra respond one might almost

one of the best symphonic performances
