Calvin Coolidge on the Senate.

In his address upon taking the
oath of Office as vice-President OF the
United States yesterday CALVIN Coo
LIDdE raised his voice in intelligent,
well considered, timely tribute to the
great and useful body Of lawmakers
over which 1t is his constitutional
function to preside during his term
Of office.
Along with other legislative bodies
the Senate Of the United States has
been ignorantly and vehemently
abused for years. During the discus
sion Of the peace treaty negotiated at
Versailles this abuse reached unprece-
dented violence. It IL well that the
thoughts Of sober men should once
more be turned to consideration Of the
functions laid upon the Senate by our
Constitution, and no man is better
equipped to utter the needed expla-
nation than is the distinguished SON
OF Massachusetts who sat yesterday
in its chamber for the frst time In
his off1cial capacity.
With characteristic insight Mr.. Coo
LIpaE discerned, and with admira BILE
lucidity he expounded, the fact that
through It's participation in legislation
on one hand and its intimate associa-
tion with the Executive Department
as a partner In the treaty making
power and in the appointment OF pub
lie officials on the other the Senate
becomes in a peculiar way the guar
dian OF our liberties. 1t Is clothed
with authority to defend the rights Of
the majority and Of minorities and
the record Of its activities reveals a
splendid fealty to Its obligation. Mr..
COOLIDGE truly said:
Whatever its faultA whatever Its
human imperfections. there Ii no
legislative body In all history that
has used its powers with moro wis
dom and discretion, more uniformly
for the execution of the public will
or moro In harmony with tho spirit
Of the authority Of the people which
has created It than the United States
Senate"
It is in the interest Of public order
and good government that the misrep-
reservations Of the disappointed and
the allegations Of the ignorant con-
cerning our democratic institutions
should be answered when opportunity
so to do presents Itself, and no man
10 in a better position to formulate
that answer than is CALVIN COOLIDGE.

'OtelIO'' at Manhattan.

ed till the last moment to attend sorne
of the performances of the Chicago
Opera Company was proved last eve
ming when long after the curtain had
risen and the house was packed a line
extended from the box Office we'll into
Eighth avenue. Many OF those on the
limo failed to gain admission.
The opera was Verdrs great work,
"Otello," which was formerly regarded
as less popular than some OF his other
creations. The principals In last eye-
ning's cast were Miss Rosa Raisa as
Desdemors1, Charles Marshall as Oteflo
and G.. M. Rimlni as logo. Mr.. Cimini
conducted. The characteristics OF the
performance were nearly the same as
before and the audience was aroused to

A novelty by an American composer
invited the serious consideration OF
music lovers at the fourteenth Friday
matinee OF the Philharmonic Society
yesterday In Carnegie Hall. This was
the prelude to Reginald Sweets one act
opera. "Riders to the Sea-" The com
poser lives in this city. and hts lyric
drama was completed In 1914. The work
Ia q musical setting OF J. II. Synge ;
play. The tragedy may be recalled by
those who were interested in tho visit
Of the Irish Players.
II Is exceedingly dark and dismal and
depressing. and ono would not expect
that the opera should differ from It in
character. The prelude heard yester-
day aims at q brief delineation OF the
struggle Of the stricken heroine against
the msrcilsss ocean. AS q mood Pic
ture the composition has unquestionable
value. 1t Is poignant. searching and
crowded with shadows. It would un-
doubted1y have been a stronger and
moro independent work II its creator
had never heard Tristan und Isolde"
But there are some suggestive memories
overbalance some OF Mr.. Sweets own
conceptions.
The othor compositions on the pro-
gramme were Tschaikowsky's pervasive
nth symphony. Dukas's orchestral
scherzo. THE Sorcerer's Apprentice
and Riinsky Korsakov's Caprice Espag-
mol" 1t was a good programme. but the
genius OF Mr.. Stransky spread upon 1t
a mantle of peace. Even the tempes.
tuous pages of tho symphony regulated
themselves to the nerves of the amiablo
company Of subscribers, who seem to find
in these matinees resting places from
tho toll and struggle Of daily life. Calm
and meditation follow these afternoon
audiences, and the entertainments ought
TO have wide fame In the field of nerve
tonics.
According to the story OF the Dukas
music the sorcerer went out and left ais
apprentice IN charge Of the business.
whereupon he undertakes to operate the
charms. but having set them going does
not know how to make them cease. The
sorcerer returns In time to prevent dis
aster. The reading which the triumph
ant conductor Of the immortal Philhar-
monic gave seemed to indicate that the
apprentice whom starting the water In
the bathtub, which should have flooded
the house. must have left the stopper
out Of the exhaust pipe. At any rate
the master had no difficulty In checking
either the dow Of liquid or the auditors
spirits.

AS A MAN THINKETH

It is written of the Master that he did not many mighty works in Nazareth because of the unbelief of it's people, It has been true through ali the ages that the outward and visible accomplishment of man lives first in the heart of faith Where there is no vision, the people perish. The difference between men who fail and men who triumph is not | always--nor even often---a matter of natural ability. More often than not, it is a matter of faith, of believing that the seemingly | impossible can be done. Success comes from setting ones spiritual eyes upon some gleam- | ing distant height; from meeting each days difficulties as they come in perfect confi- dence that they can be surmounted; from l journeying onward in the serene assurance of ultimate victory. Fundamental to con l quering life is the deep conviction that what men dream of can be done. The basis of failure is cowardice. We are towards when we are afraid to believe.
 Since the dawn of human history it has net happened that men dared to believe in 1 peace. Strange it is that while days of peace have ever been days of happiness and con- structive civilization; that while days of war have ever been days of misery and blood and tears and degradation, yet men have believed that war is the only way to settle our human | differences It is not that men have loved war. believe they have always hated it. They have gone to it singing because they were brave and because they were noble enough to sacrifice for the thing in which | they believed There is cheering when sol | diers march away to war-and there is cheer l ing when the survivors return to peace, but what a difference! The first cheers are 1 those of hard and bitter determination, and the homecoming cheers are of happiness un- | alloyed Men have gone to war because they | believed in it. When men have been brought to believe in peace they will never go to war again.
 The leaders of the nations are sitting around council table to devise ways and means of disarmament. It is a ludicrous and tragic event. It is ludicrous because If they really wanted to dsarm, they would by taking the last useless super-dreadnaught to the middle of the ocean and sending her to the bottom of the sea. It is tragic be- cause they cannot do this. These leaders cannot rise higher than the people whence they come, and we back home do not thor oughly disbelieve in war as yet. We have sent our representatives to Washington 10 plan against war, and in the depths of our blinded hearts we are hoping that they will so plan that when the next war comes we shall have advantagel
 So long as this mental attitude holds, we shall have war. We shall have it with in- creasing cost of blood and treasure until the pain has become more than we can bear. We have been chastised with whips, but we shall be chastised with scorpions. We shall be driven into peace by the awful cost of war. o why can we not believe, and lay down our arms--and enter now?

BIRMINGHAM MOST ECONOMICAL
 CITY IN HER CLASS

According to statistics gathered by the National Security League, Birmingham's muni- cipal expenditures per capita have been less than those of any city in the United States be- tween 100000 and 3oO,OOo of population. Denver, which purchased water works plant in 1919, heads the list with expenditures of $82.57 per capita, while Birmingham, which IS lowest on the list, expended $l4.4S per capita.
 The size of cities does not appear to bear on comparative expenditures. Denver is fourth In population of the cities in the 100000 10 100000 class and comes first in per capita expenditure. Jersey City, which is largest, is sixth in amount of expenditure and Birming ham, which is fifteenth in rank has spent less per capita than the 19 smaller cities in the classification.
 Denver has nationwide reputation for lb- erality in providing parks, civic centers, audi toriums and other advantages for its people. But these things cost money. Citizens who

LIBERTY

By John Hay.
 What man is there so bold that he should say, "Thus, and thus only, would have the sea?" For whether lying calm and beautiful, Clasping the earth in love, and throwing back The smile of heaven from waves of amethyst; Or whether, freshened by the busy winds, It bears the trade and navies of the world To ends of use or stern activity; Or whether, dashed by tempests, it gives way To elemental fury, howls and roars At all it's rocky barriers, in wild lust Of ruin drinks the blood of living things, And strews it's wrecks OCT leagues of desolate
 shore
 Always it is the sea, the men bow down Before it's vast and varied majesty. So all in vain will timorous ones essay To set the metes and bounds of liberty. For freedom is it's own eternal law; It makes it's own conditions, and in storm Or calm alike. fulfills the unerrng will. Let us not then despse it if it lies Still as a sleeping lion, while a swarm Of gnat like evils hover round it's head; Nor doubt it when in mad, disjointed times It shakes the torch of terror, and it's cry Shrills OCT the quaking earth, and in flame Of riot and war we see its awful form Rise by the scaffold, where the crimson axe Rings down it's grooves the knell of shuddering
 kings.
 For ever in thine eyes, oh Liberty, Shines that high light whereby the world is
 saved,
 And though thou slay us, we will trust in thee.
