III chestra concerts planned for next season
here is encouraging practical evidence OF the
appeal of good music in this community
Stimulus of public taste is no longer
paramount issue The problem of the Or
ehestra management has now resolved itself
into ommodating the resources OF the
orRaniza ton to the exceedingly lively popu-
lar demand for concerts.
Plans for the coming season include fifty
two subscription concerts instead OF fifty,
doubling the number Of children's concerts
by increasing them to six and presenting
four special concerts, primarily for non
subscribers.
Financially the Orchestra is perhaps, on
rs firm q basis as is possible for cultural
undertaking Of this character The Friday
afternoon concerts are virtually sold out
FOR each season. There is a slightly smaller
list of regular patrons for the evening series.
& IL was disclosed at a meeting Of the
Orchestra Association, held this week, that
receipts for single ticket sales increased
S7S47 during the musical year now closed,
while exclusive Of overhead charges, which
embrace the jor item Of musicians sala-
fies. there was decrease of more than
$4,000 in expenses.
With its endowment fund Us bulwark,
with popular interest assured. with an au-
thoritative and magnetic conductor, the
healthy vigor of the Philadelphia Orchestra,
still less than a quarter Of century old, is
: subject for authentic pride in this com
nunity.

VERSATILE WELLS

IF THERE is anything in the writing line
il which III. G. Wells would refuse to un.
dertake it has yet to be disclosed.
With sublime audacity he has tackled
almost every problem that has perplexed
mankind and has set forth what he regards
II q complete solution in every instance.
He has even gone far as to create Il new
aod, which Is little more than projection
% Wells himself into the spiritual realm.
In brief he has made o god in his own
image, reversing the process described in
Genesis.
So when he announces that he is seriously
considering abandoning the writing of hc-
tion and devotng himself to political writ
inE in the interest of labor, and that as q
preliminary he is the labor candidate for
the lord rectorshp of the University of
GLASGOW, he is really planning something
much easier than that to which he has been
devoting himself in the past.
IL IL not difficult to write labor books
The labor program of Mr.. Wells is already
fcrmuiated. 1t has appeared in fragments
n his previous writings. 1t is socialistic
after q fashion. The fashion is not like
1rat favored by any other Socialist, for Mr..
fnlls has to make his own theories about
r1Ains. He agrees, however, with the
eoclslists IN insisting that the present
lnl atsucture Of society Is all wrong

ingenious natives of Nippon were extraordi-
nary novelties here forty six years ago. In
addition TO the surprise in which they were
viewed as representatives of Il comparatively
little known people, their craftsmanship and
csthetic ideals exercised a wholesome inilu-

We have learned something since then and
the japanese have adopted features of Occi-

the basic trend Of their national genius.
Nevertheless. the possibilities Of mutual
profit by an interchange of the cultural and

been by no means exhausted.

ANOTHER CRACKED SLATE

TyHE fragility of political states in this
Il State is by no means confined 10 that
political party which for many years has
received its traditional inheritance at the
polls Even the unabashed Democrats OF
Pennsylvania, whose alleged leaders had
conceived the recent primaries rs the mere
1tegistry of routine. are now experiencing
I'm little the effect of the open season III
candidates.
The minority party nominee for Lieu
tenant Governor in the November election is
Robert +. Pattison. Jr., and not, as had been
expected. Charles u. McAvoy, former Dis
trict Attorney for Eastern Pennsylvania,
who supposedly had Mr.. McSparran's in.

Young Mr.. Pattison. who. with few
counties missing, has to date lead Of moro
than 1000 votes over his opponent, was
without organization backing but it is clear
that his name carried talismaniC appeal with
Democrats who recall the ovcrturn in this
State caused by his capable father in 1eS2
and 1890.
Memories are seemingly more enduring in
American politics than might b" deemed
possible in q conventional estimate of the
game. Witness in the upper stratum the
Harrison and Adams lines.
With virtually no effort on his part, Mr.
Pattison managed to upset the Democratic
harmony program in one of the few contests
permitted by the party schedule. Even with
the inintesimal chances of his election in
November, his nomination contributes 70
that message which is attaining wide cir
culation not only in this Commonwealth.
but throughout tie Nation.
Politics. especially with regard to machine
intrenchmcnts. is becoming unpredctable.
II can scarcely be denied that voters for
young Mr.. Pattison INDUCED III certain
amount of individual thinking if only in
recalling matter of paternity.
