THE WOMEN ARE LEARNING

GENUINE disappointment and sense Of
" battlemCnt arc reflected in the com
mcnts Of women leaders on the results Of
the election.
Mrs. Altemus expresses dIsIlusionment,
but not despair. Mrs John Wanamaker,
Sd. newly confronted with revelations Of
trickery and the betrayal Of the cause for
which she labored was even moro eloquent.
~ have lost faith in people. said she
The mood out Of which such utteranccs
come is understandable, and it is and always
has been an aflirtion 10 men in public life.
It will pass. 1t will pass more quickly when
Mrs. Altemus mud Mrs. Wannmakcr and
their associates take time for n closer study
OF the election figures.
There is nothing seriously wrong with the
people. The great trouble is with the lend
ers who bcfuddo. cheat, bcwildcr and be-
tray them.
In this instance there is no iuytifcation
FOR a surrender of faith in III" people. They
have at lenst a fair sort Of nlibj Most Of

MUSICAL INSPIRATION AHEAD

TT Is the good fortune Of Philadelphia
l music lovers that their annual leGatc
abroad is Leopold StokowsH, whose zeal in
the quest Of new scores is only matched by
the breadth and sincerity Of his critical
taste.
The diligence and enthusiasm with which
his pilgrimage was undertaken this Year
have harvested n diversified collection Of
orchestral novelties representing the latest
trends in musical Development,
Search for good music differs radically,
not 70 say nspiringly, from the pursuit Of
most other products rated either as artistic
or commercial. In response to conditions
Of public taste, even the most dcalstic the
atrical manager is unable to ignore the
possibilities Of popularity for his offerings.
Book publishers have been known to
finance their productions in the higher in
tcloctuaI fields with obvious best sellers !"
But music such as engages the attention
of great symphony orchestras is in category
apart Inexplicablo as 1t is happy is the
fact that condolences Of popular favor with
intrinsic merit in orchestral scores are ex-
ceedingly close.

Symphonic music speedily finds its own

circumstances in which meritorious scores
are ultimately rcpudiatcd are comparatively
rare. The moro common occurrence is
tolerant bewildCrmcnt on the part OF audi
tors. eventually succeeded by appreciation as
the mystery is dissolved.
Mr.. Stokowsli's new offerings, which will
be distributed throughout the concert season
which begins next month. are varied In range
and disparatp in origin. Radicals like

played. but the composer himself will appear

Vincent D'1ndy on whom the mantle Of
Dcbussy has fallen, although the fit is not

GOOD WORK THAT SOLDIERS
CAN DO IN TIMES OF PEACE
The Legion Can Provide an Example OF
Democratic Thought and Feeling for
Country That Needs II Badly


TNHE democratic principle of government
L and the fixed guarantees Of justice and
fair dealing between man and man which il
implies are quite as indispensable now. quito
as necessary to the peace and progress Of
the world as they were when all civiliza
tion was strninng and bleeding to keep them
from being wiped from the face of the earth.
Yet in many quarters tho democratic
ideal seems actually to be going out Of
fashion. More and more people seem un
willing to be guided by It in the routine Of
their daily thinking and their daily lives.
That is why the members Of the PPnnsyl
vania Department Of the American Legion,
now assembled at Pittsburgh could d. moth
ing better than see that their organization
is maintained permanently MS a good c1-
ample of democratic feeling and democratic
control
The Legion ought not to submit itself to
th" rule Of any boss, inside or out It
should not b" dominated by q little group of
general headquarters mrn. It ought to BE-
kept out Of facti"nnl politics. And it should

for democracy. Ard If the mon Of the Legion
can fight off tho interests and the people
who would exploit them, and ran continue
to think and feel as gallantly as they
thought and felt in France. they can do
service to America almost as great as that
which they did in the field They can do
great deal to save and sustain democratic
idcalism at home.
When 1t was glibly asserted in ncws dis
patches OF recent months that "membcrs of
the American Legion" had broken up labor
meetings or invaded public gatherings with
utimatumS for this speaker or that. tho
menace with which the Legion itself was
confronted became clearly apparent.

That was the work of shrcwd groups out

which some isolated srouIs Of cx.soldicrs
were Ill advised and mislrd. and it was the

USE EVERY POSSIBLE MEANS TO
KEEP THE LAND FROM
WASHING AWAY

No land can be made rich that is
being washed and quilted by every
heavy rain that comes. The first
step toward improving the rolling
lands of the South is to prevent their
wasting by washing or erosion.
The gently rolling lands that are
not washed into gullies except by the
heaviest rains and when bare of
growing plants. may be saved or kept
from washing away by growing
crop, or a cover crop, as it is gen
orally called when grown largely for
that purpose only. Such lands are
held by sods or by pasture or mead
ow crops. Grain crops or those not
requiring cultivation during their
growth will also usually prevent the
washing of such lands. But even
these lands, or those having any APP
preciable slope, are likely TO wash
away if left bare during the winter
season of heavy rainfall.
The steep or hilly lands and even
those of moderate slope wash badly
as a result of our heavy rainfall and
the character of the soil, unless con-
siderable care is taken to run the
rows Of drilled crops so as to pre-
vent the collection of large quanti-
ties Of water ut one place. and IN
