FISHER FALLS IN LINE

LIVER since John s. Fisher withdrew
~ from the contest for the governorship
his friends have been working in support of
Clifford Pinchot, with his knowledge and
consent His own active entrance into the
campaign among Pinchot's supporters was
only matter Of time. He made his entrance
yesterday after a satisfactory talk with Mr..
Pinchot.
II am. of course. in hearty and complete
accord with all that is being done by my
friends in Mr.. Pinchots behalf he said.
IL am doing my share and will continue to
contribute my best efforts to his election
This is the self-respecting course for Mr..
Fisher. He was committed in the beginning
to opposition to the efforts of the contractor
combination to get control Of the government
in Harrisburg. Mr.. Pinchot is committed
to the same proposition. Mr.. Fisher with.
drew in order to prevent division Of this
opposition between two leaders. His public
Endorsement of Pinchot by name is reafir-
nation of the earnestness Of his purpose to
help the State get the kind of government
1t ought to have.

ART WEEK

vIIHOEVER first thought of turning
wv Chestnut street into gallery of modern
paintings deserves commentator. Since the
public at large doesn't 60 to the art eXhihi-
tions. the art exhibitions have come to the
public. This is the best of missionary work
and it ought to be encouraged by picture
buyers. The movies have done great deal
to make the present generation forget that
there is such a thing as a studio picture.
though studio pictures are actually the only
ones that really count in the long run. For
the camera sees only the exterior Of an OBJ
ject. The painter, If he is worth his salt.
sees and renders its significance and its in
terror meaning.
1t is regrettable that some Of the pictures
included in the unique ''shOw" are not up
to the general standard, which is high. A
few of the painters seem to have sent any
thing that they happened to have lying
about. But almost all the canvases are far
more beautiful than the old masters for
which hardened collectors spend great for
tunes. They are not dos. .eared. Their
painters are not dead and so they are Of.
fered at extremely modest prices.
The merchants who co-operated with the
artists deserve great commendation. People
with money in their pockets and houses to
decorate ought to make the best of most
unusual opportunity.

WARBURToN's REVOLUTION
BARCLAY wARBURTON is exhibitin

DARCLAY WARBCRTON is exhibiting
- curious and inexplicable sense of re-
sponsibility for the expenditure of money in
the Department of Public Welfare.
1t is not his money. 1t comes out of the
pockets of the taxpayers. If there Is not
enough to pay the bills. more can be got
where the first came from. SO why should
any one care what 1t costs to run the House
Of Correction and the Home for the In.
digent?
This Is the way is has been customary to
talk. Departments of the City Government
are created in order to make Jobs for de.
serving political workers. If there are not
jobs enough to go around. two men can
be appointed to do the work of one, with
third man to watch the other two Mt their
leisurely occupations.
II this is to be changed in the Depart
ment of Public Welfare revolution Is Inn
pending Mr.. Warburton is objecting to
the luxuries supplied for the table of the
managers of the House of Correction and the
Home for the INDECENT, and he seems to
think that the inmates themselves get ice
cream too often. They certainly should not
get 1t oftener than the families Of the peo.
pie who pay the taxes. There may be a
hard.working woman or two in town who
think that they should not get it at all. as
they cannot provide ice cream for their chill :
dren save on rare occasions such as birth
days and the like.
And there are attendants at these insti-
tutions at the rate Of one for every three and
a half inmates, and some of the inmates are
paid wages of $50 month, which Mr.. War.
burton thinks is too much for people whom
the city Is supporting. He is talking Of
dismssing a lot of the unnecessary EN- .
ployes and reducing the wages OF the In &.
mates, as we'll as cutting off the lu1uries
served on the table.
Objection is already being raised to this
sort Of disregard of sacred custom. The
employees with a political pull are rushing
around town to get their sponsors to protest,
and before the week is out the people who
supply the luxuries will be objecting to any
reduction in the size of the orders given to
them.
II Mr.. Warburton is II real revolutionist
he will not be moved by all the protest, but
will persist in his apparent determination
to prevent the waste of the public funds.

SHAKESPEARE DAY

A PRIL %, or what you will Consonant
"A with the meager biographical chronicle
of William Shakespeare is the mystery of
his birth. Convention, supported by the
somewhat apocryphal researches of two
eighteenth. century commentators, fixes the
above date. Rectifcation of the calendar
moves the event forward to May 3, new
style.
The Forrest Home. which may be relied
upon in this community for formal recogni-
tion of the anniversary, adheres to the older
reckoning and accepts the conjecture that
England's future liking of kings" baptized,
according to the Stratford parish registry
on April 26. 1864, was then three days old
The weight Of modern scholars is largely
in accord with this view. The point is
mainly of academic interest. No Legisa-
ture or Parliament has yet signalzed the
birth of Shakespeare with holiday enact.

There is deeper and more genuine tribute
in the vitality Of his literary and dramatic
monument. If Edwin Forrest. who left ex-
plicit directions for the birthday cere-
monials, feared an atrophy Of this fame he
was over timorous for the future.
Despite snap judgments to the contrary,
the popularity of Shakespearean drama is
as vigorous as in the vanished epoch senti.
mentally known as the "palmy days"
A new access of interest in the plays has
lately been manifested in London. In
America four successful organizations,
headed respectively by +. II. Sothern and
Julia Marlowe, Walter Hampden, Robert Is.
Mantell and Fritz Leiber, are combining
financial with artistic prosperity.
The chief criticism that may be directed
toward these attractive enterprises is the
somewhat routine character Of the roper
tories. While it is true that masterpieces
sre fundamentally imperishable and that
they have the added charm Of novelty for
new generations, the inclusion of some Of the
less familiar works in the list would un =
auestionably be welcome.
''Coriolanus" is stirring drama, ripe for
z revival. In this country there Is an actor,
