Liberals and Liberalism.

The term liberal" is used today to
cover q multitude of mistakes, If not
sins. Liberalism has become confounded
with 1iberality-in spending other peo-
Piles money. This money, taken in the
form of taxes, is distributed in the form
of subsidies to persons who have not
worked for it or earned it. Govern
ments which indulge in such practices
have spelled the downfall of peoples
Throughout history. 1t is method of
currying favor with the masses, AS long
as the money holds out, it is effective.
Liberalism and liberal policies of gov
ernment are not new. In the past in
this country they have been supported
by forward-looking men and women,
looking to the greater freedom of the
individual and his protection from
dominance either by private persons and
industrial corporations or by the Gov

Economic Reminder
For David Lawrence
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
Permit me, as reader of The Eve
ming Star newspaper for Is years, to
write few words in regard to David
Lawrence's column on Monday, October
Is. 1887 entitled United States SPEND
ing Policies and Recovery"
Mr.. David Lawrence is very effective
critic, in my opinion, on anything that
this present administration is doing. He
finds fault particularly with the big cor
poration taxes and the social security
taxes. Those huge taxes, he blames, are
responsible for the decline in business
and the decline In the purchasing power
Of the people.
I wonder If Mr.. Lawrence has ever
thought about the way the poor people
are throwing away money In the num-
bers racket, and many other different
kinds of gambling Notwithstanding to
ten billion dollars year.
Mr.. Lawrence, in my opinion, doesn't
need to worry about the poor working
man protecting himself in regard to the
old-age pension. / think it is perfectly
all right and proper to continue taxing
for the social security funds which
eventually protects the public for a
rainy day / am sure that this form Is
Just as good as any life insurance policy

Musical memory is an interesting

Musical memory is an interesting
thing.
Performer or listener who has it ought
to be able to get more out Of what he is
doing playing or listening.
1t is in memory that musical pattern
lives, and stands out as something when
the listener, especially, encounters 1t In
movement.
Music is the most curious thing in the
world, in that it really has no being
except in movement.
We speak OF sheet on which is musi-
cal notation as "the music" but 1T is not
the music at all, but merely the notation.
There is no basic similarity between
type and musical notation, although
there seems to be.
The book does not have to be read
aloud, but the music must be played, to
give it being.
When we say we "read music" at sight
we do not mean that we make music.
but probably may be able to hum 1t In
the mind.
This humming in the mind is what
the composer does as he goes along with
his composition. but even in his mind 1t
is not music yet.
Music comes only when II Is given
sound
Sound is music.
Music is great many things, but two
things above all-sound and movement.
Music is a technical thing today more
than ever, with the discovery OF sound
waves and "all about them" But that
Is only one side Of 1t.
We now know that a note in music Is
that note because Of its frequency.
Music is not something mystic, neces-
Sarily; it may be, basically is, something
scientific.
When We say that however, we see
Immediately that it will not do to leave
the emotional part OF music out.
Music is emotion. if it is anything
that is another happy side OF 1t.
Music permits us not to be ashamed
of emotions Even the most poker faced
Of the youngsters, who is determined
not to show his emotions, responds at
once to q good march or swaying
tango.
One may not have heard Bizet's
Carmen" for Is or 20 years. yet the very
sight Of these words on paper brings
musical memories
Seguldllla-"Pres deS rempartS de
Seville"
Immediately the whole thing sweeps
back, the singer. the scene, the great
soprano song. even better in some ways
than the habanera. Love is like q wild
bird free" from the same act OF the
opera.
The wild swing, the sort OF thing that
always strikes listener as typically
Spanish. and no doubt is. for the COM
poser was stepped in the color of their
music.
In the habanera and seguidilla he did
even better. musically, than in the more
famous "Toreador song" the big hit"
Of the opera.
Musical memory brings back the pre-
else patterns of these barbaric numbers,
wild as the bird Of the forest.

Machine Picked Cotton.

From the Philadelphia evening Bulletin
The mechanical picker's arrival on the
cotton fields for. commercial use may
make this season q historic one in the
South. Its impact has as yet not been
noticeable. as there are comparatively
few of the machines and an actual
shortage of labor exists in the cotton
belt when q large crop is to be picked.
The machine in its present form cannot
do as good a job as most of the hands
that now gather in the cotton. But
1t beats the trashy picking of the in
competent, and it is cheaper. Refine
ments in the cleaning and ginning
process or in the machine itself may be
expected to make it more than match
for the best hand labor.
Surplus of cotton has been so much
talked about that its expanding use
has been neglected. Yet the United
States and the outside world manu-
factured more cotton goods in the past
year than ever before. More use still
would have been found for the raw
product had not nations bent on self
sufiiciency attempted to use substitutes
which cannot justify themselves on an
economic basis.
The cheaper price for cotton which
the mechanical picker forecasts may
tap a vast market which the higher
price has kept sealed. There has never
yet been found rs advantageous a
place to grow cotton as in our South
ern States, and better and cheaper
way of picking may help create . wider
market for its labor than now exists.

which may well be needed by all drivers

He says:
"If you must stop, pull off the hard
surface, even If you are only going to
take on or let of a passenger. Then you
cannot be accused of contributing to
or of being responsible for an accident.
Certainly If you block portion of the
road, either in the daytime or at night,
you are creating q hazard. Your car may
force somebody else into the ditch, or
into the path of an oncoming car.
Don't be the cause of an accident when
it is so easy to avoid it,"
Cooperation on the road is the duty
of every driver, for his own sake as
we'll as for the sake of others. The
stopping driver becomes the moving
driver, even as the moving driver be-
comes the stopping driver. Thus, alter
nately users of the roads become re-
sponsible for the clearance of the
way. There is only just so much space
on the paved way, and If 1t is blocked in
any degree by halted cars the peril OF
collision increases.
The road blocker is in no degree
excused from accountability for an acci-
dent because of the poor driving or the
reckless speed of another. Whether
there is regulation against treaspass
upon the paved roadway by cars not
in motion. as in Virginia, or not, the
practice is hazardous and involves the
driver who is guilty Of the infraction
of this rule of common caution along
with the driver who makes excessive
speed.
The paved roadway is primarily and
indeed exclusively for the use Of cars
in motion. That fact should always be
borne in mind by all who use the high
ways. If it we're universally SO under
stood and If this rule-which is law
in Virginia-were strictly observed by all
motorists, the accident toll in this coun-
try would be greatly decreased.

color. They are bent upon collectivism
as opposed to free enterprise. They are
bent upon control by the Government
itself of the activities OF all classes,
whether they be employers or workers
or farmers.
Realizing that Government control in
the end rests upon the machine, such
machine, political in its nature though
boasting of generosity, has been con-
structed, national in scope. To erect
this machine, literally millions of jobs,
paid from the public treasury, have been
created, and billions of dollars have
been distributed.
Gradually as the pinch of freedom
has been felt, as the demand for
more and greater powers, centralized in
Washington, has pressed forward, true
liberals have revolted. One of the
straws which finally broke the backs of
liberals who had lined up with New
Deal was the proposal for the control of
the courts-offered in an insidious
form.
With the approach of new session
of Congress, the real liberals are girding
for a contest which threatens still fur
ther grasp of power by the executive
branch of the Government. They are
beginning to see more clearly the trend
of Government in the last five years.
They understand that they will be called
upon to support more liberal" meas
ures, which in effect clamp the chains
more securely upon the ordinary Amer
lean
1t is time that liberalism be REDEEMED,
and that true liberals be segregated from
the psuedo liberals whose main in
sistence has been greater personal power
and a more liberal trough in which to
wallow.

Dependable Merchant
Marine Is Necessary

To the Editor OF The Star:
One of the reasons urged In support
of the expenditure of huge sums by the
Government in building merchant ma
rine Is that such merchant marine would
be an absolutely essential arm of the
national defense in time of war.
Therefore, there would seem to be just
as much sense in permitting United
States sailors to stage Sit-down strikes
on United States warships as there is
in permitting group of radical agitators
to destroy our nationally owned merchant
marine.
And that is exactly what they are
doing, because you can't have mer-
chant marine unless it can be operated
at q profit, and it can't be operated at
a profit unless you have passengers. and
certainly no one with grain of sense
is going to travel on vessels manned by
insolent, quarrelsome and undisciplined
men.
Uncle Sam had better keep his. money
in his pocket than to build the proposed
new ships, because no one will travel on
them after they are built unless this
Government shows more backbone in en-
forcing discipline than 1t has shown a
disposition to do up to the present time.
The seamen responsible for this state
of affairs are befouling their own nests.
They are destroying their own jobs.
When the foreign liners sail from our
ports with flags flying and bands playing
and carrying the money paying paSsen-
gers while American liners lie at their
docks with their boilers cold. many of
these men will stand on the docks with
their hands in their empty pockets and
wish to Heaven that they had had more
sense than to take the bread out of the
mouths of their children and hand it
to foreign seamen. Oh, labor, what
crimes are committed in thy name.

Division of Motor Vehicles, in the inter-

States. He declares that automobiles
which stop on the hard-surfaced por-
tion of State highway constitute a
tremendous accident hazard" This,

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Near the walls OF Seville" indeedl
But any other song, simple or complex,
would do equally well to show the won-
ders of memory in music, faculty some
persons have, musicians or non-musi-
clans, much to their enjoyment.
The amazing thing is that some fine
musicians scarce can play note with
out the music before them.
Their musical memory is not so good.
1t is equally amazing for an individual
to realize that while he may not be able
to remember the 23rd Psalm, word for
word, he can instantly sing every note,
and almost correctly, of such comph-
Gated number as the seguidilla afors-
mentioned.
Now why is this?
Words, after all, no matter how clev-
erly and beautifully arranged, have no
pattern, physically, in the vertical.
All our writing is horizontal.
Whereas music, by It's rise and fall on
the staff, with its various kinds of notes,
rests, bars beats, accents, musical marks,
etc, gives the mind something else to
remember.
This up and down" of music is pat
tern, in one very good though elemental
sense.
1t will be found that every tune which
one recalls has made an indelible pat
tern in the memory.
This pattern stands out much as the
lines of drawing which somehow one
recalls without the picture being actually
present.
The delight of this recollection is one
of the greatest in all music.
This recollection reaches its peak
when the music actually sounds, let us
never forget that.
1t reaches forward. Just as it reaches
backward; the listener is able to make
the lines and curves there in the air
before the instruments or the voice or
both put them there actually.
This is pattern, and 1t means just
that.
II is musical recollection before all
which enables the listener to make music
his own.
It is lack of it which makes so many
strained perplexed faces at symphony
concerts. These good people have not
realized that they mostly lack the real
key to the situation.
The listener to music Of any type ought
to try to see those melodic lines as they
flow, those weavings Of notes up and
down.
The grasp OF this is what makes music
what 1t Is.
There are the sounds there in the air,
which even Fido hears, but there also is
the pattern, whose recognition TO the
mind OF man is delightful thing.
1t is precisely here that the science
and emotion of music are linked and
made one. Fido hears the music the
same as his master, but the two-legged
listener begins to have musical memory
the first time he hears composition,
and often has the pleasure Of exercising
1t before the composition ends.
IL this field the listener is one with
composer and musician; let him remem-
Der this always, and make the most Of it..

A Rhyme at Twilight
by
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton.
Divided

We took lifes path together, you and I;
And then you stepped across q tiny
stream
So narrow that our hands could touch
and clasp;
We still could walk together, plan and
dream.
Then the brook widened, and the sun
went down;
Deep shadows settled on the darkening
path
And our hands fell apart. In silence we
Pursued our way in the days after
math.
The night closed in. The rill had wilder
grown;
could not hear you answer when I
called.
I walked alone. Across the wide. Wild,
stream
Il knew in dark YOU struggled on
appalled,.
