 Signor Scott has no ambition for financial gain with his venture. He cares little for the almighty dollar. He wapts to give the vast Ameri- can public an opportunity to hear the very best opera that can be produced without regard to cost. to make opera more appreciated in this busy country where 100 little time Is given to the study of music. He has no conception of the value of money and makes improvements recklessly without ever considering what the expense may be. His staff on the tour Is larger than that of the Met ropolitan and he carries six baggage cars of scenery besides shipping two freight cars ahead which are fill ed with other properties.
 Signor Scotti is also very keenly interested in new voices. He never re- fuses to hear a singer. Usually the first hearing takes place in his apartments in the Vanderbilt hotel He greets the singer and the accom- panist, arranges the piano and then disappears.

Sitting far back In the dark house he listens, noting the tone quality and the method of production. Often he interrupts shouting his criticisms from the dark ness or hurriedly crawling over the seats to quicken the tempo of the ac- companist.
 Although he Is vitally interested in developing talent, always alert to improve every part of his operatic organization. and ever ready to lend aid to the struggling student, his great ambition is to create-in the hearts of the American public-the desire for his beloved vocation. grand operal

Claims TO TRANSPLANT Eyes,

New eyes for old can be given blind
creatures, claims a young Hungarian
zooIogist. He says he can transplant
sound eyes from living creatures to
others that are blind. Before the
Vienna Biological society he said that
he had experimental first with fishes
and frogs, md then with rats, moles
and other animals. He had OBJ
served that fish "ich had lost their
sight sometimes los, the coloring
Of their bodies. BY replacing their
blind eyes with sound ones taken from
another living creature, he had re-
stored their sight and their colorlng
too. Frogs, when they became blind,
gave up seeking food, but with their
new eyes were as dIigent as ever In
this respect. Professor Kolmer de-
clared that he had examined some of
the eyes transplanted by Koppanyl un-
der the microscope and had found
them normal.

FINEST TRAINING FOR YOUTH
Business Man Tells Why He Would

ANY sort Of government subsidy is
wrong in principle, and it is unlikely
that a government subsidy will prove
right in practice in building up the
American merchant marine. 1t is
better that American goods be car
ried in foreign bottoms, than that the
whole American people be mulcted
for the benefit of the ship-owning
class. If American shipping can be
made to pay its way, it will do so
without subsidy. If it is a losing
venture, there will be an increasing
demand for further help beyond the
thirty-two millions a year recon-
mended by President Harding. If
an American merchant marine, in
other words, can succeed with sub
sidy, it can succeed without one, and
the peoples gift will resolve itself
into piece Of easy "velvet" in the
pockets of the ship-owners. In lieu
of a subsiry, American shipping in
terests should be relieved of certain
crippling provisions in the naviga.
tion and seamen's laws.

DUTY's CALL TO DEMOCRATS

1t SCENE to be discouraglngly dif-
ficult for public men to put theii
duty to the nation above what they
conceive to be their duty to theil
party.
The League of Nations was turned
down by republican majority in the
United States senate because it was
conceived and advocated by demo-
cratic president.
The four-power treaty is now op-
posed by large part of the demo-
cratic minority in the United States
senate because it was conceived and
advocated by a republican president.
The Yap treaty with Japan has
just been ratified, but majority of
the democratic senators opposed it.
We find Hitchcock of Nebraska op-
posing the four-power treaty, al
though he was among the leading
champions of the League of Nations.
Because these democrats were de-
MED the full loaf of United States
membership in the League of Ma
tions does not constitute an adequate
reason why they should balk at the
participation of the United States in
a sensible plan for the insurance OF
peace in the Pacifc-the half loaf
that in our view is far better than
no bread.
Because the republican majority
thwarted the Wilson movement for
forestalling another world war, the
democratic minority has no valid JUS
tifcation for trying to thwart the
Harding movement for averting war
between the two greatest Of Pacific
powers, the United States and Japan
A careful reading of the four-power
treaty obligations fails to convince
the open-minded layman that it even
commits the United States to as zen
tangling" foreign policy as Article
10 of the League of Nations. 1t sat
isles Japan without involving the
United States 1t provides effective
war insurance at the least possible
cost. Virtually the four-power pact
holds the relation of "little brother"
to the League of Nations. One is
wrong only II the other is wrong.
These democratic senators should
rise superior to puerile party con-
siderations and support all the con-
ference treaties, unless .5sse feel
honestly convinced that the confer
ence was a failure and the treaties
are its poisonous fruit. Their judg-
ment would then be open to criticism,
but not their motives. Two wrongs
do not make a right. A partisan
stand by the republican senators does
not justify a partisan stand by the
democratic senator's.
If the League of Nations is an ul-
innate failure, it will be because the
United States made it so by refusing
to join it. If the four-power pact
is a failure it will be because the
United States senate fails to ratify
it. We will thus have served two no
tices upon the world that the United
States prefers the prospect of war
to incurring the slightest of obiiga-
tions for the insurance of peace.
And if the four-power pact is de-
feated, its failure will be due to DEM
ocratic votes. The democrats hold
the balance Of power on this issue in
the United States senate, and to us
their duty is as plain as their respon-
sibility is tremendous.
