Some Old Fiddlers.

fhe musical center Of the United
States was temporarily shifted last
week to Alabama when Huntsville
entertained the Old Fiddlers merely
because they were old and fiddlers
and offered to them an opportunity
to compete for fame and the joy Of
playing.
1t was again the Old Fiddlers' con-
test which gives it's musical flavor to
Huntsville for few hours in every
year The players brought their own
instruments, which in some cases had
passed down from father to son, or
even from grandfather to grandson,
to the present proud possessors. They
had tone enough for the occasion.
They may not have come from Gre
mona; probably there was not re-
mote descendant Of g Stradivarius or
Guanerius or an Amati among
them. For this reason were they
the better suited to the music of the
competitors in the festival. No
player was tested by his ability to
play BACH or BEETHOVEN, ScARLATTI
or TARTINI.
Each had to give good account of
himself in Turkey in the Straw"
"Old Dan Tucker" or "The Eighth Of
January" His technic had to be
ocroJ +o tbo h,,ox,,,co 80 arLo Mool,
ing Bird" and woe to the fiddler
who had not the temperament neces-
sary to adequate Interpretation Of
1.-THE Arkansaw Traveller" What
chance was there in an assembly Of
fiddlers who knew every one of it's
traditions for the unfortunate player
who failed to. put all its emotional
grip into "Old Black joe? Then
what fiddler could claim high virtu-
osity when he fell down on the pathos
ofrNellie Gray?
These were the tests of the old
fiddles and their masters. No jazz
disturbed the musical atmosphere of
the sessions. No commercial "blues"
sounded their decadent notes in this
gathering of old favorites.
In accordance with modern ten
dencies the first prize went to a
woman. She was Mrs. DELLA Null.
LINs of Toney, Alabama, a woman
and a musician worthy of the name
Of her home town. There were prizes
for the fiddler with the most children,
for the best fiddler from outside the
State and for the most comical fid-
dler. The best looking fiddler and
the most finished technician were
also rewarded. And at this charac-
teristic gathering in the cause Of art
a prize went to the youngest of the
fiddlers, who was probably promis-
ing youth in the early ,7Os.

Rapid Transit Relief.
A Subway Route Between Brooklyn
and the Grand Central.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: In all
the plans have seen published aiming
to improve city transportation | have
seen none that In my opinion went 10
THE heart of the situation. Hence 1
offer few suggestions which believe
are worthy of investigation.
/. Continue the Lexington avenue sub
way down Lexington avenue through
Irving place and some suitable south
bound street to connect with the Sew
enth avenue subway, say on William
street. and cease TO run Lexington ave-
nue. subway trains south from the
Grand Central Terminal through the
present subway down Fourth avenue.
2. Run trains in the present subway
from the. Grand Central Terminal to
Brooklyn only; in other words, make a
northern terminus of the present Fourth
avenue subway at the Grand Central
Terminal. This would give an immense
amount of relief at much less cost for
construction and a lot sooner than to
build a new north and south subway
the entire length of Manhattan. 1t
would not interfere with such subway
building. but simply be forerunner of
it and save probably several years at
least in the comfort of the riding pub
lie. There are several lines to which
this Grand Central southbound subway
could be diverted in the lower part of
Manhattan or new outlets for it con-
structed in Brooklyn.
3. can see no virtue in the idea of
the Transit Commission to construct a
great turmoil terminus at Thirty-third
street. The Pennsylvania Station and
Grand Central Terminal are fortunately
far enough separated to avoid concen-
tfating the bulk of the committing
traffic at one point. Why disturb the
present arrangement and make it in
fnitely worse?
One Of the principal troubles con-
nected With the present city subway
system is that inadequate provision is
made for rapid transit for the short
haul traffic. namely. between the two
large railroad terminals and the down
town section; everything has been sac
rficed to provide long distance trans
portation. If steps were taken along
lines indicated in l and 2 above be-
lieve immediate relief could be afforded
at much less cost than by any other
plan-congestion should be reduced in
stead OF Increased. +. w. COLLINS.
New YORK, December 2S
The New York herald., 1922-12-29

That is all very fine and praise
worthy. But it would be better for
the city to have a board of one OK
pert-who would know where and
when and why new schools should
be built and whether >the sittings
were occupied or not-and pay him
100000 year than to have seven
amateurs serving as duty and not
sure whether eight or ten million
dollars worth of sittings were lost,
strayed or stolen.
Put the conduct of our schools
alongside the conduct of any large
business house and view the con-
trast. Suppose that two years ago
the United States Trucking Corpora
tion. wishing to solve the problems
of its intricate and congested bust
ness. had called upon seven respected
citizens, sentimentally interested in
trucking but not conversant with its
details, to boss the puzzling job in
their spare time and without pay
what would the stockholders have
said? What would have happened
when the chairman Of the benevo-
lent seven reported that, after buy.
ing a hundred new trucks, he found
that half of them had been lost? But
of course the trucking company did
not do such a foolish thing. 1t
hired AL SMITH at a big salary to
boss the job.
And the schools of New York, in
value both intrinsic and sentimental,
are great many times larger than
the trucking company. How long are
they to be run as backwoods schools
were run "a hundred years ago?

Cleveland in 1892.
An Account of Circumstances Lead
ing to His Third Nomination.

To THE New YORK HERALD: In a no.
tice of the death Of William J. Gibson
published on December % you say he
got Grover Cleveland to run in 1892
and further that he was credited with
having induced Mr.. Cleveland to accept
the Democratic nomination for President
in 1892, From the standpoint OF his
torical accuracy neither statement could
be sustained. Mrs Cleveland was will
ing candidate in 1892.
In 1884, 1883 and 1892 lived in a
county of the Capitol Congress district
of Ohio / was a so-called Cleveland
man and county chairman or manager
or state committeeman there in his in
tercst in all three Of his Presidential
campaigns.
Acrimonious discussions within the
party occurred in the years Immediately
after the defeat of 1888. so that the
Democratic party became divided into
Cleveland and anti-Cleveland factions.
In the midst OF these discussions the
Thurman Club OF Columbus, Ohio. Of
which | was a member. staged a politi-
cal banquet OF nationwide scope to be
held at Columbus. Ohio, on the night
of November 10. 1890. The banquet
was given ostensibly in honor OF the
scventy-seventh birthday anniversary Of
Mr. Thurman. who had been the running
mate of Mr.. Cleveland In 1888.
IL was known as the Old Roman ban
quet in recognition of the affectionate
title that had for years been bestowed
by his friends upon Mr.. Thurman. but
II was used as a get together event OF
Cleveland sympathizers for the purpose
of launching the candidacy Of Mr.. Cleve-
land for third nomination. Mr.. Thur
man was there and made a speech TAX
ing himself out Of the running both for
President and vice-President In the ap-
preaching campaign of 1892.
Mr.. Breckinrdge was there and made
a speech on Democracy In America"
Referring to the retirement of Mr.. Thur
man from active political life he said,
IL cannot but believe that he has left
younger men like unto himself, even
among those who sit around this table,
who can take the burden of the day
and the leadership OF the conflict and
give to tho party victories in the fu-
ture." &C.
This reference to Mr. Cleveland was
cheered to the echo by the upward OF
eleven hundred guests present. repre-
senting the Democracy OF all parts Of
the Union. Mr.. Cleveland was there and
made speech conciliatory and con-
servative In nature on "Citizenship In
America" and got great ovation. Mr..
Springer was there and said the press
had largely contributed 20 the great VIC
tory gained by the Democratic party at
the polls few days before the banquet,
and that "vc press will point the way
for the Democratic party In 1892. We
need not 90 beyond this banquet hall TO
find leader for the contest" &c.
From the time Of the Old Roman ban
quct in 1890 the friends OF Mr.. Cleve-
land set about crystallizing sentiment for
him throughout the country. so that as
1892 approached things were pretty gem
orally well In hand. In my home county
an early direct primary was held in

And pale the moonlight falls
Like thin spun silver over garden walls,

To touch the hills with green once more

Arbuckle's Plea.
Unfamiliarity With the Scriptures

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: II would
seem that Mr.. Arbuckle is not quite as
familiar with the Scriptures as he thinks
he is.
According to your paper he quoted as
coming therefrom the phrase "As ye
judge, so shall we be judged" This must
come from some version with which the
rest of us are not familiar. Possibly NE
meant to quote one of the well known
maxims with what measure ye mete. y

The British Debt Mission.

Two British business men of un-
usual caliber are on their way to
Washington to- discuss on behalf of
the British Government the funding
and interest of the British war debt
to America. The cordial welcome
that awaits them is but due to the
representatives of a country which
is making very real and strenuous
effort to meet its war liabilities.
They are, moreover, men of rather
an unusual type.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer,
STANLEY BALDWIN, is a middle aged,
cultured Englishman, who has car
red away with him from Harrow and
Cambridge more lasting apprecia
ton of classical literature than is
Usually to be found in the luggage
of departing students. Reading and
his pipe have been his chief solace
in life of great business activity in
the Welsh steel trade and on the
board of the Great Western Railway
1t was as business man that he
was first taken into the Govern
ment when he became secretary to
BoNAR LAW, and as Financial Sec
retary to the Treasury from 1917 to
I 1921 he became closely acquainted
with the problems of war finance.
1t was as a business man that
he began the breakup of the Lloyd
George Government this year when
he resigned from the Board of Trade
on account of the failure to apply
the face of Lancashire free trade
clamor. Politically and as busi-
ness man he is a strong Couserva-
tive and a believer in the ability of
British trade to recover its position
in the world. He advocates, if Eu-
ropean restoration is delayed, that
Great Britain should seek to consoli-
date her position by coordination Of
her imperial trade resources.
The second member of the British
debt mission, MoNTAGU CoLLEr NOR
MAN, is also a Cambridge man in
whom literary tastes have not been
killed by busiAess occupations. He
is afflicted with shyness but has an
almost mischievous sense of humor.
He is music loverlof sure and deli
cate taste, has a strange knowledge
OF rare woods and good collection
Of the art of the cabinet maker.
Physically he has nothing of the Eng
lish financier about him, and rather
resembles JOSEPH CONRAD in the for
eign distinction of his features.
1t is not as a connoisseur of fine
woods and old volumes that he comes
here but as a Governor Of the Bank
of England who has had the rare
but not unprecedented honor paid
him by the mighty financial inter-
ests of London of having been
elected for a second term of office
at the bank. AS a partner in Brown
| Shipley G. Co. he is familiar with
American business men and methods
and he is no newcomer to this
country.
Both BALDWIN and NORMAN COM
bine with their somewhat Balfourian
culture great capacity for hard
work, an impatience of loose and
superfuous speech, unusual powers
of clear exposition and desire to
face and state facts fairly and rea-
sonably. They represent the solid
determination of Britain to meet he~
liabilities toward America as speed
lily as possible, and they regard the
problem Of arranging terms of pay
ment and interest as one Of pure
business divorced entirely, as such
international dealings should be,
from the distorting influences Of
sentiment.
