By w. j. HENDERSON.

Josef Hofmann, the great pianist.
gave his third and last recital of the
present season yesterday afternoon In
Carnegie Hall. The occasion had fea-
lures long familiar at Hofmann recitals,
but accentuated by the fact that yes
terday was a holiday. All the seats In
the house were sold and the narrow
standing space was so crowded that
those occupying 1t must have suffered
much physical discomfort for the sake
of hearing the famous artist.
The stage and the proscenium arch
were decorated with United States flags
and Mr. Hofmann. mindful of the day,
prefaced his program with "The Star
Spanged Banner" which during the
war he taught us to know as good
piano piece. The first number on the
printed list was Beethoven's sonata
in c minor, opus Ill. The splendors OF
this masterpiece were exhibited most
brilliantly. Mr.. Hofmann's. reading was
rich In temperamental impetuosity,. gov
erned by a fine and commanding intel
ligence. In the slow movement the
pianists mastery of tone, which has
long been one of his principal artistic
assets. was shown in it's most beautifui
manner. The trills were performed IN
an Incompatible way and the climax
of the slow movement was such dis
play of poetic Interpretation as audi
ences rarely enjoy.
Grieg's G. minor ballAde succeeded the
Beethoven number and was played 50
that the audience demanded more. The
pianist responded with a Chopin noe
turne, which served as an introduction
to the next group, composed of Chopin
works These four we're the Bar
carole" f minor nocturne. B flat minor
mazurlka and the "Andante Spianato
and Polonaise." Mr.. Hofmann was
forced to supplement these with the
military polonaise and the Butterfly
etuda.
The final group consisted of Hof-
mann's berceuse in B flat, Dvorsky's
"Penguine,' Constant:n Sternbergs
concert study In c minor. Fannie Dill
Ions Birds at Dawn" and LISTS
twelfth rhapsody. After that came the
deluge of encores. To discuss the re.
cital in detail would be to produce an
essay on the pianist's art. 1t took
some years for music lovers to realize
the greatness of this artist. but now his
followers include all who really know
what piano playing is 1t was inter-
esting to note yesterday that many Of
the eminent pianists row resident In
this city or temporarily here were pres
ent and attentive listeners. Scores OF
teachers. too. sat through the recital.
All of which goes to chow that New
York is happy hunting ground for
musical masters.

CUMMINGS and HILARY HEHsERT. In
1922 there is not a national figure
on the committee. DAN RIoRDAN and
ARDoLPH KLINE, both from New York,
are as prominent as any of their
colleagues.
In the old days, the days that
Uncle JOE has in mind there were
men in the House whose minds
scared higher than the pork barrel.
And their districts usually upheld
them. Maine, for instance, would
send at one time such a quartet as
REED, DINGLEY, BoUTELLE and MILL
KEN. These men worked for what
they considered the interests of the
whole country, just as MCKINLEY
and WILLIAM L. WILSON did. WILSON,
for instance, framed a tariff. that
was his own personal political ruin,
as he knew it must be.
There ought to be more districts
like Uncle JoE's and there would be,
we think, If there were more Uncle
Joes-more fearless men who can
vote on bill without stopping to
wonder what the local boss will say.
But just now there is no statesman
ship in the House. 1t hasn't a man
of the type of BoRAH. The only
Representative in Congress whose
name is a household word Is Mr..
VoLsTEAD; and maybe he wishes
sometimes 1t wasn't quite so much
of household word.

Moral Distinctions.

New York had it's Doodle aldermen
in 1884; the country now has it's
bonus Congress.
Where is the fine moral distinction
between the thing New York's Doodle
Aldermen did In 1884 in selling out
the city for personal gain. and the
thing now proposed by Congress, the
selling out of the country for politi-
cal gain?
No majority party can loot the
Treasury to the tune of five thousand
millions of dollars without political
ruin.

The Bags of Death.

The Government is going to in
vestigate the Roma tragedy. That
Is the natural thing TO do. But all
the investigation that Congress and
the War Department can apply will
not change the opinion of the Ameri-
can people regarding dirigibles in
general and military dirigibles in
particular. They are a mistake.
No argument will affect the ma
tional feeling that the balloon ship,
compared with the airplane, is a
tricky and unreliable thing.
No technical defense of dirigibles
will dissipate the sentiment against
them as military weapons. They were
born in malice and die in horror.
No statement on the high cost and
scarcity Of helium gas will excuse the
use OF hydrogen gas in the Roma.
There was no emergency that de-
manded the use OF the airship; and
the ZR-2 tragedy happened only six
months ago.
It does not matter now whether the
Roma caught fire before or after It
struck the power wires. The fact re-
mains that the crew was burned to
death in hydrogen gas.
The present administrations of the
Navy and War Departments have
been singularly unfortunate. Both
the ZR-2 and the Roma we're con-
tracted for in the preceding admin
istrations. Secretary DANIELS bought
the ZR-2 from Great Britain for the
navy. Secretary BAKER bought the
Roma in Italy for the army. These
bags of death were inherited by Sec
reraries DENNY and WEEKS.
Americans will not excuse the OF.
ficials who bought these dirigibles or
the officials who used them. Before
the ZR-2 fell with its dead men into
the Humber THE NEw YoRK HERALD
appealed to the Government to in.
vestifate the tricky machine. After
the zR-2 calamity this newspaper de.

Mental Crooks or Cheerful Idiots

There is type Of ignorant or dis.
honest Congress bonus promoter and
newspaper bonus propagandist that
persists in shouting that all Congress
has to do Is to vote the i've billion
dollar bonus and then let the Secre-
tary of the Treasury run out and
borrow the money to pay it. This
argument, calculated, whether made
in ignorance or dishonesty, to dupe
the credulous, runs as follows:
"The country can assim'late such
bonus bonds. Every issue nf Treas
ury certificates offered within the
last year has been greatly over
subscribed"
True, but not a single one Of these
issues of Treasury certificates was put
out to increase the Government debt.
Every one of them was put out while
the Government debt was being de.
creased.
Not a single one Of these issues
added to the tax burden Of the Amer
ican people. Every one Of them
helped to tighten both the debt strain
and the tax strain on the overloaded
public.
The Treasury simply was getting
the banks and others to advance tenn
porarily to the Treasury moneys that
were due to come into the Treasury
from tax revenues already owed by
the taxpayers but made payable at
three months intervals for the con-
venience of the taxpayers, the notes
being paid off as those tax returns
came in. Or the Treasury was using
the proceeds of these note issues to
convert one form Of debt into another
form of debt so as to refinance some
standing obligations OF the Govern
ment that were pressing or to pay off
part of others that could thus be cut
down, principal and interest, to the
benefit of the American taxpayers
Moreover, 1t was possible to con-
duct these financial operations of the
Treasury, resulting in gradual reduc-
tion of the debt and tax burden on
the public, when the Governments
income was sufficient, and something
more than sufficient, to meet its ex-
penses. Now, when a Treasury
deficit of $500 100000 is ahead of the
and when existing short
term obligations of more than six
billions of dollars must be taken care
of within the next fifteen months,
tho United States Treasury will have
all the financing to do that it pos
sibly can handle, and perhaps more
than the industry and business of
the country can we'll stand.
The man who doesn't know the
difference between putting out Treas
ury issues to keep the Government
debt from running up and putting
out Treasury issues that will force
up the Government debt, doesn't
know the difference between daylight
and darkness. The man who does
know the difference but nevertheless
tries to mislead the public into think
ing a five billion dollar bonus could
be financed by the Government under
such circumstances is no better in
his morals than a card sharp.

What Uncle Joe Had in Mind.

What Uncle Joe Had in Mind.
Uncle JOE CANNoN's valedictory to
his Republican constituents contains
paragraph which portrays states
manship that is sadly lacking in the
House of Representatives:
'I have confidence that my sue
cessor, whoever he may be, will not
alone represent the local and perhaps
selfish interests of the Eighteenth dis
trict but also the broader national
sentiment and interests of the Amer
lean people, for If I have been
credited with supporting policies for
the benefit of the whole people. re-
gardless of section or industry, it has
been largely due to the fact that 1
represent people who took the same
comprehensive view of the nation as
a whole and were ever willing to sub
ordinate their own immediate desire
to the welfare of the whole country"
Uncle JOE was thinking of the days
when men in the House spent most
of their time on problems affecting
the welfare of the whole nation. They
were not worrying about the cheap
est way to secure denomination and
reelection.
We fancy Uncle JoE's memory went
back twenty or thirty or forty years
to the time when there were big
names in the House of Representa-
tives. Let the reader glance over the
roster OF the Committee on Ways
and Means of 1892 and he will un-
derstand just what JOE CANNON was
driving at:

Is there any man on the Ways and
Means Committee of the present
House to whom Americans look for
leadership as they looked to REED,
WILSON, DALzELL and their col
leagues of thirty years ago? We

OPEN STATEMENT

We call attention to the an
nouncement of Tom w. Wells
for the office of Circuit Clerk
and Recorder of White County.
MI. Wells was born and reared
in White County, and is well
known to most Of the citizens of
the county as one Of the best
men who have presented their
claims for office tothe people of
the county. This is the first time
he has ever been a candidate for
any position that is the gift of
the people, but he has served as
Deputy Clerk for several years
under both Raymond ones and
the present Clerk, Elmer Smith.
He is well qualified for the po-
sition of Clerk and Recorder and
thoroughly familiar with it's
routine duties and the people
will make no mistake in promot-
ing him to the responsible office
he now seeks. Consider his claim
when you vote and you may be
assured that you are voting for
an honest and capable man.
We feel confident that Mr.
Wells will receive a big vote in
this township. He is very well
