NEW YORK, Nov. I4.-New Yorl
financial interests are trying to de-
termine who possibly could be TIT
Republican presidential candidate
in 1886.
Senator Arthur vandenburg o
Michigan had been looked upon a
a possibility. But his narrow mar
gin in Michigan and the extent o,
the Roosevelt landslide elsewhere
seem to preclude him.
Business OF course would like Il
see a conservative as the nominee
But business realizes that a con.
S~ervative Of the old Republican type
would stand no chance. He NIGH
not carry even one state againsI
President Roosevelt.
Business, therefore, Is looking fol
a progressive who will appeal TO the
people as a man who at the SAME
time could be described as "Sans
and sensible" In regard TO spending
But there is none fitting the de.
scription.
Business hopes there will be a re.
action against Roosevelt spending"
Business will blame any increase
in taxation on that spending-anc
on Brain Trust ideas.
That Is the sole hope Of financial
New York as to the next presidential,
campaign spot in the nation.
One Difficulty
There Is one difficulty which con.
fronts the financial interests.
The people themselves may de.
mand more spending than President
Roosevelt Is willing to permit.
Inc people may demand that, x
pay for this spending, taxes be in.
creaSed-further increased agains
the rich.
President Roosevelt may call
halt thus, before this new congress,
ends. Mr.. Roosevelt may be looked
upon as the real conservative. II
fact. he may become too conservative,
In the minds OF the mass of voters
Thus the Republican party ma,
be swallowed by the progressives-
who may lead a very popular Cd
position TO the administration.
Two years hence the Republican
nominee may be a Robert La Fol
lette rather than an Arthur Van
denberg.
And that, though. Z causing mucl
concern In financial New York. al,
though even a La Toilette ma,
seem conservative In the end-a'
compared to some who would oper
the treasury wide.
International
Whatever Is universal nkewisI
must be international.
In the beginning, children under,
stand that, for children come int
the world natural beings.
But we elders soon corrupt thI
children.
Creation and understanding ans
civilization and thought are dubbe.
as national, as something strictl,
within nation or race or religion.
Thus, when children come h
music, they are bewildered. II tn,

German or Italian or French O

But may We say (and there hardl,

that will have to meet the problems
Of the world.
There can be no national boun,
oarles for the masters Of music
And, actually, there can be no ma,
tlonal boundaries for the masters D
thought-or political economy O.
social welfare or human bettermenl
OF any kind.
The new and widespread apprecia.
ton OF music In the United State
Is the forerunner Of deeper under,
standing Of the art OF civilization
Beg Pardon
This, perhaps, is not the kind o
answer the music teacher desired
Reading II over. II sounds too mucl

There is one more question III
teacher asked. Would we continu
writing a column?
Since she asked the question. w
may as well come out with II. ..c
we are too busy. We hope to en-.
tee somebody else into the lob.
Which reminds us Of a friend o
ours. When he announced the dis
continuance OF his column, he re
ceived q mass OF congratulations.
