The Drama in America.

The American playwright's moment
is at hand. He can no longer rest on
his oars and allow his European
brothers do all the work The recent
war took away the barrier of isola-
ticn that had from the earliest days
in America retarded native artistic
development in all directions. The
early settler had the obta ining of the
bare necessities as his problem He
was occupied with other things than
thoughts Of art. Those who follow ed
him caught the incentive of home
getting and the building up of busi-
ness. He was able to buy his art OBJ
Jects and plays from abroad So why
bother to do beautiful things. or to
write worthwhile plays himself? All
that Is now changed. and the Ameri :
can. whether he likes II or not. must
stand on bis own feet and do his own
Work. He has been forced out of his
narrow nationalism. with its lack of
artistic growth. into the great ocean
of artistic internationalism and if he
is to have plays he will be compelled
from now on to do his share in the
writing of them.
In an interview Mr.. Basil Dean. the
English stage director. said: "Amerj-
cans have a greater love for the thea
Ter than almost any European nation
not excluding the Germans. Also
theE nave an almost fierce determina-
ton to succeed in anything they take
up, an lnventiveneSs and resource thar
overcome all obstacles. Soon they will
produce a native drama as alive. as
restless, as ambitious as is the cor
porate will of the American nation I"

This Years Result.

Chairman Hull. heartened by his

that this is 4 democratic year"
OF course. if tGdays ballots wipe
out the republican ma jority in the
House. reduce the size of that in the
Senate and put the republicans TO
rcut in several important states which
ttey now control, Mr.. Hull's declara-
ton will stand fully and incontestably
confirmed.
But suppose the republicans. though
by a heavily reduced majority. con-
tinue in control of the House Sup
pose they lose only a senator or two
end gain none. Suppose several states
row republican go democratic. Will
such a result bear out conciusively
Mr.. Hulls contention?
Undoubtedly Mr.. Hull will so insist.
End hearten his party by new decla-
ration, that this years result points
to what that Of 1924 is to be. and that
oil zeal must meanwhile be exhibited
in order to make the second triumph
overwhelming.
1t is true, however. that the present
nlajorities on Capitol Hill and the
present situation in several states are
due to the abnormal conditions Of
1920, which, fortunately for the coun-
try. no longer exist. We have been
swinging back measurably to nor
nalcy; and today's pollings should
show the two parties in something of
their old forms. 1t will make for bet
ter legislation and more progress if
the two parties come nearer together
again in point Of size and strength. /.

Judge Gary on Wages.

In testimony before the Federal
Trade Commission, Judge E. Fl. Gary,
chairman of the United States Steel
Corporation, announced his belief that
with the present high cost Of living
wages cannot be brought down. That
this is not merely an amiable theory
is attested by the fact that the inter-
ests which he directs recently made a
voluntary increase in wages.
Judge Gary asserts at the same time
that the Steel Corporation is not max
ing money. but he looks forward to
better conditions in the not distant
future. When the steel industry is
operating at full capacity. with a
ready market for it's products, it can
both make a profit and pay good
wages, but 1t cannot do both on less
than maximum output. And so, for
the time being, profits will have to so
in order that wages may be main
tanned.
There never was betterlfefutation
of the fallacy that conditiSns for the
workers can be improved through cur
tailment Of production. When the
steel industry and all other industries
are working to full capacity there is

WASHINGTON and the Elections.

Washington. barred from the ballot
tox by its peculiar status. a disfran-
tiiised federal community, today takes
mainly only an onlooker's interest
ir the elections held throughout the
country. Some thousands Of the peo.
I,le who live here in the course Of their
work are voters in the states. Some
of these have gone home to cast
their ballots, and others have taken
advantage Of the more liberal laws Of
their states and sent their votes by
mail. But in the main the Washing
toEians can only stand by and watch
others exercise their rights Of citizen
ship and express their preferences for
members Of the House and Senate and
in some instances state officers.
But Washington is not without in
terest in the affair. 1t is always kcenly
alive to the Importance of an election.
1t observes with an intelligent appre-
"'.'l ~: the issues involved. being.

when they are headed by opponents.
1t personally knows most of those who
are being voted for in the congress
sional races. The names that are
flashed upon the screens election night
are in the main those OF its friends
and acquaintances. in some cases its
near neighbors.
Tonight most of the interest will lie
in the congressional returns. for the
state contests are more remote from
local associations. Yet in the crowds
tonight there will be some who will
have a direct interest in every one OF
these state fights. for Washington
population includes some from every
part of the Union.
Some day Washington will by con-
stitutional amendment and congress
sional action have its own part in
election activity. Its bulletin screens
will, show returns from its own wards
and precincts. and its election night
cheers will be hearty. 1t will then be
voting for it's own representatives in
Congress and in presidential years for
it's own choice for the chief executive

stands tonight in front CT the screens
will doubtless pray that chat day may

The Minimum Wage Decision.

Yesterdays decision by the District
Court of Appeals that the minimum

Court. and preparations are already

highest court. The principle involved
i precisely such as the supreme Court

Peculiar circumstances attend the
decision just rendered The court be-

To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
I write to suggest that the best
way to honor the dead in the great
war is to emphasize the duty of the
living to keep the peace and help
promote a world wide atmosphere of
peace This can be done by the an
nual, simultaneous and universal OBJ
servance of Armistice day by the
two minutes silence" plan involv-
! ing little organization. practically no
expense and one which is being in
dorsed by all countries and many
! creeds.
A beginning was made in 1918.
when the two minutes silence was
solemnly and beautifully observed In
Great Britain. also in every British
dominion and on every vessel flying
the white ensign. Last year Armi-
| stice day was similarly observed
throughout the United States. when
Americas unknown soldier. symbol
Of the nations dead, was buried in
Arlington cemetery with honors
worthy of the greatest OF captains.
Representatives of the allied peoples
stood side by side with Gen. Pershins
to pay homage to the man from the
ranks and the vast army of citizen
warriors he typifles, and the entire
nation was present in spirit when
President Harding delivered his noble
speech to a war-worn world.
The idea of commemorating the
sacrifice of tho dead in the great
war and emphasizing the duty OF the
living to preserve the peace by the
annual, simultaneous and universal
observance Of Armistice day by
the two minutes silence" is largely
American. 1t was born on the Ameri-
can steamship Eten in Longitude
1889 degrees west. latitude oo-4s

Congress and the Ship Subsidy.

VIII lOOay result at ln0 polls
have any bearing on the proposed
second session Of Congress, to be
called for the middle Of November?
Will republican victory clinch the
proposition? Or will a democratic vic
tory defeat it?
The President is not committed as
to the session. 1t is believed that he
looks sympathetically on the propo-
sition.
The authors OF the suggestion had,
and have. in mind particularly the
ship subsidy bill. He is committed to
that. He wants as soon as it may be
enacted legislation favorable to an
American merchant marine, and the
bill in question suits him.
While there are republicans for and
against and democrats for and against
a subsidy to encourage the establish
ment and support Of an American
merchant marine, the policy is labeled
republican. For not only is the Presi-
dent an unqualified indorser, but the
proposition chimes with the republi.
can policy Of protection. Why not, it
is asked. protect American enterprises
afioat as well as those ashore?
Hence the opinion in some quarters
that a republican verdict this week
will be construed as instruction to
Congress to go ahead at once with
tho shin hill and write il on the books
at once. while a democratic verdict
will admonish against such a course,
and act as instruction to let the ques-
tion go over .to the Sixty eighth Con-
gress. and thus throw it into the next
presidential campaign.

produced a larger volume Of goods for
general consumption, and the larger
the volume CT goods in the general
store the larger the share each In
dividual will be privileged to consume.
Just now. with wages being main
tained at the expense OF profits, the
steel workers are getting more than
their fair share of what they produce,
but this cannot continue. II is no more
possible. as a general proposition, to
maintain wages at the expense OF
profits than it is to maintain profits
at the expense Of wages. In the long
run equity will step in and strike a
balance in either case.
II this fundamental fact Of economic
law only could be understood, both by
employers and employees. there would
be a speedy end to industrial warfare.
Capital and labor are partners in the
work of production. and each is en-
titled to its just share Of the common
product. When either attempts to get
more than its just share the balance is
upset and production is impeded, with
the inevitable result that the share
OF both is reduced. There always will
be individual instances where this law
is violated, to the injury of one party
or the other. but the greatest good
to the greatest number can be had
only where the law is permitted to
operate. With this fact understood
and accepted in the large equation,
then the instances Of individual in
justice as they arise could be impair.

All rigid is her vacant stare.

Which hinges just above her ears.
