has great deal to do with the success of a
municipal organ. What Is commonly known
as the classics for organ are much moro
involved as compositions than are the classics
less emotional In the more severe class of
organ compositions than they are in tho
same c'ass for orchestra. OF course, there
are exceptions to this. The organ music of
Bach. which, according to the common i'm
preston, Is very dry, has in reality vast
such works, as the G minor fugue or the
passacaglia in G minor. which Mr.. Stokowski
orchestrated and played this season. This
impression that the organ music of Bach is
.1y dry is largely due to a school of organ.
playing which Is intensely academic. For.
tunately, this style of playing is now disap-
pearing, and its place is being taken by
organists who understand and are able to
communicate to their hearers the real emo.
tional beauty of this greut master.
Place Of Lighter Works
"A municipal organist should be man of
broad musical culture and of broad general
sympathies, man able to appreciate all
there is in human life and able to get his
hearers en- rapport with him. lie also must

THE cITY'S NAME At STAKE

YNHE proposed employment of the right Of
i eminent domain to enable the city Of
Philadelphia to house the johnson pictures
in the Municipal Art Gallery raises point
in ethics which should not be confused with
the original arguments concerning the dis.
position of the collection.
While it is undeniable that many citizens
are inclined to favor the housing of the
paintings in the pretentious structure now
building at Fairmount there is an increas-
ing tendency to question the suggested ex-
pedent of widening Naudain street in order
to wreck the late residence of Mr.. johnson
and necessitate the removal of his art works
elsewhere.
The program as embodied in the ordi-
nance introduced in Council on March 90
smacks decidedly Of unscrupul6us ingenuity.
That II is tantamount to violation Of the
municipalities pledge to permanently com.
ply with the provisions of the viii
as modified by codicil and to do
everything on its part TO be done to con.
form Herewith" is forcbly pointed out by
George w. Norris in an open letter ad-
dressed to Mayor Moore and the city lcgis-
lators.
Other prominent Phladelphians. among
whom there are possibly advocates of the
Municipal Gallery plan, providing it can be
honestly executed, have expressed similar
sentiments.
1t is perhaps to be regretted that Mr..
johnson desired the collection to be retained
in his own home, but to no testator of sound
mind does the law deny indulgence in per-
sonal predictions.
The will of John G. johnson, which the
city was free to contest, has been validated
by unanimous judgment in the Orphans
Court. Council has not directed the City
Solicitor to take any further appeal. Search
for relief through litigation Is abandoned.
What follows is a shady attempt to distort
the right of eminent domain into warranty
for an infraction Of contract.
Mr.. Johnsons folly or wisdom is no
longer an issue. What is now a matter of
public concern Is the good name Of the mu-
nicipality, which is far from being en-
HANGED by threatened procedure at once
brutal and tricky.
Nothing in Mr.. Johnson's WILL peculiar
though 1t be, is dishonest; nothing in that
mooted document is SO arbitrary as to JUS
tify deliberate violation of solemn pledges.

Mr.. CoMPERS OBJECTS

WAS there ever revealed anywhere in this
w dizzy world a reversal of positions so
strange as that which is suggested By Sam.
uel Gompers' newest blast against American
recognition of the Russian Soviet Govern
ment?
1t is obvious that the diplomatic and
financial interests of the larger part of
Europe have reached or are reaching an
agreement favorable to CO. operation be-
tween Moscow and the older Governments
on something like even terms, and that the
ultra conservatives are actually in mood
to accept bolshevism of carefully tenn
pcred sort into the scheme of Old World
diplomacy. Some bankers and some states
men in the United States are similarly
minded.
Thus Mr.. Gompcrs appears the conserv-
ativc Of the hour, while the conservatives of
few years ago, to whom the SovietS were
an abomination, seem touched with "radi-
calism.'
The president of the Federation of Labor,
lifting II voice of thunder in the diplomatic
wilderness, wants nothing of the Soviets at
any price or for any purpose lie would
not deal with them. He would not rccog-
nize them. lie would fight and isolate them
until they are no more. saying that any one
who does otherwise will surely betray civili-
zation.
1t is clear that Mr.. Gompcrs views Rus
sia and its present system Of government in
light unfamiliar to the ordinary diplomatic
agent. What would be the effect of Soviet
recognition upon tho trades unions of
America and England? What sort of re
newed inspiration would such recognition
provide for the borers from within-the
Communists and the true radicals who have
been trying to steal the whole labor organi-
ends? What would men like Foster be able
to do IL they could direct the attention of
labor generally to a diplomatic triumph of
what is still supposed to be dictatorship
of the proletariat!
These questions are uppermost in the
mind of Mr. Gompcrs.' Naturally, he hates
| the compulsory labor system Of Russia He
| knows that all freedom Of action vanished
under Leninc and that the workers must
take what the state gives them. The
| American and British radical ought 10
know that the advent Of Communism was a
| disaster of immeasurablc proportions to
labor in Russia aud to the poor But they
still dream of communistic state and of
commanded industry. They do this largely
because, though the proetarut got little out
Of its dictatorship in Russia, the plutocrats =
got less. For the agitator Of Mr.. Fosters
type there is consolation in that Thought.
The Russian Communists seized private
property. That wiz always endear them 10

CHINA IN CONFUSION
