One intelligent measure is worth hundreds of pages of the legislative piffle that fills the Congressional Record. BORAIH IS WRONG! The recent statement of Senatorj Borah that "the United States should! not abandon the principles of George Washington, which have brought one hundred and fifty years of peace, to dabble in the old world hatreds and politics which have caused one thou- sand years of war" is typical of the appalling ignorance of some of our politicians (we cannot call , them statesmen) in regard to progression in international politics. He assumes the popular idea that Washington's policy was one of isolation. When a national leader travels about the country preaching the doc- trine of selfish isolation and re-ac-i tionism, every right-minded and clear thinking American unconsciously ob- jects. The working out of individual- istic and unsocial ideals and ideas of conduct are bound to produce a crisis, And when a nation is unsocial in its international relations, the extent of the consequent disaster is only limit- ed by the power of that nation for doing mischief. We must not forget that a world league completely sur- Trounds us. This policy of isolation may have been well enough in its time, but that was long ago. It is now inadequate. One hundred fifty years ago civilita- tion, with its meagre communication, was a community of detached and only slightly related states between whom there was no need for coopera- tion except in a crisis, when an alli- ance was easily formed to last only as long as it was needed. Today each nation is in intimate and con- stant relationship with every other. Americans are reading in their pa- pers this morning of the things that happened in Europe and Asia last night. This was unheard of at the I time Washington read his final mes- sage to Congress.nThe world has ad- vanced greatly since that time. .lo. then can such an advanced civiliza- tion be governed by doctrines for- mulated before the marvelous dis. coveries of the Victorian era? It would seem that tremendous advances in science and industry would neces- sitate simila'r advances in statescraft but some of our representatives a Washington, apparently do not thini so. ED R SEE 'llE BIRIlE We seem to have forgotten our Mr. Mipp completely the past few days. That picture or etching or whatever it was has been sleeping on our desk for days. The fact is that Mr. Mipp and 'this department have a slight misunderstanding, a very trival thing on the whole, brit nevertheless we felt that he should learn a lesson. Without publicity Mipp is nothing. All he does is talk a lot. Now that we have silenced him for a few days, he has come to terms again. So as a reward we shall present the public with another pen drawing MUSIC AND DRAMA TONIGHT: The Philadelphia Syin- phony orcliestra in the new Masonic Temple, Detroit, at 8:15 o'clock. s s a THE LONDON STRING QUARTET A review, by Philip Brooks.

LEGISLATIVE CURES It has long, been thought that the American love of legislation and the popular American belief that any ills can be cured by enough laws on the ,ul.ject were local phenomena, re- restricted, more or less, to American congressional circles. However, M. Raymond Poincare, ex-president of the French 'republic and ex-premier of France, discussing the French flan- cial situation in a special article copyrighted in the United States by the New York Times, finds the same popular fallacy in his own country. In discussing the problems facingI the French minister of finance, an office that has been filled by four men in one year, M, Poincare writes, "An- other obstacle upon which successive nun isters of finance have stumbled is the absolute epidemic of fiscal imagi- nation which has infected the Cham- ber of Deputies. Whenever the coun- try feels itself indisposed, it certainly does not lack self-decreed physicians. They flock to its bedside from every point of the compass. Those who practice the profession without quali- cation are not less zealous than the <(;he'rs " M. Poincare would find that the same statement holds true at Wash- ington, and as a rule, the un- qualified are far more zealous than the others. While America has no problem quite so pressing as the French financial situation, she has her own problems that re- quire deep and serious consideration, not superficial laws, passed in the happy, but misguided belief that an EVii can be legislated into oblivion. Congress, at every session, is swamp- (d by a deluge of bills, many of which ,have been intr'oduced chiefly for thel Aprpose of providing the congress- nian an opportunity to get into the Congressional Record and show the "folks back home" that he is work- ug. They clog the machinery; a few ws. passed with some forethought nd deliberation,.;would achieve a far greater success. In scoring the handling of the fiscal ;tuation in France, which he believes to have been aggravated, rather .than aided, by the action of the govern- ,,t , . .. 4'nfar 1-han nritpq "Tla ni 'mau It is evident that our forefathers expected us to advance and to need 1 changes in government,-they left the Constitution open to amendment. And it is also evident that some of our more advanced thinkers believe we need such changes occasionally, as is shown by the nineteen amendments to the Constitution and the two pro- posed amendments before Congress at the present time. Yet men' like Senator Borah advocate isolation. James M. Beck, former solicitor general, together with many histori- ans, declare that "there is nothing' in Washington's words or deeds which justifies the assumption that he did not intend his republic to realize its full destiny in the councils of civilization as a great, masterful and beneficient nation. Would he today deny that as our people have derived from civilization inestimable rights and privileges, and that we owe a corresponding duty to be a potent and beneficient force in the councilsj of mankind? Independence, and not isolation, would be his policy today." Take it either way you wish-Borah is wrong! STAIRS Comment of considerable extent! was expressed recently in New York over the setting and staging of a play. The entire background consisted of an architecturally designed stairway, I which symbolized man's progress, that and nothing else. To many, the idea was new, pertinent, and surpris- ingly effective. But; the idea of the symbolic stair- way suggesting man's growth andt progress is not new, far from it. Stairs have always represented man's seeking for the heights. The idea was used in the ancient dramas; the simplicity was striking, and the sug- gested effect far more intense than,1 for example, the printed sign of the; medieval drama or the painted cur- tain and scenery of more recent. times. Stairs symbolize perfectly thet "steps," many times difficult, by which men reach their goals. And the signi- ficant thing about them is that oneF has to begin at the bottom to reach1 the top. In a way that set London aghast. III They were given the air, this con- scienceless pair, By the shoguns and social elite, So they left Britain's strand for the much-promised land- Thus making the scandal complete. IV But the gods looked askance at this hasty romance Engendered of passionate lust, And it came as a shock to be stalled at the dock, Much to their mutual disgust. V Thanks to oar double-standard, Ills Lordship went landward, Consoling his femme with the hope Of her speedy dismissal, but a heart- less official Informed her that there was no soap. VI So she languished in stir, while Cra- ven, the cur, Went to Canada, leaving this dry- land, And rejoined his wife--reconciled her for life- But the countess Loho warmed Ellis Island. -TECLA. CRUEL FATE-CONCLUDED Came the dawn of a better, brighter day, the day that my benefactress re- turned to town. Surely, I thought, she would be able to do something for me. I went around to her apartment. She was in. I stated the condition of my affairs to her. Strange to say, she, who had always been so sympathetic when 1 had taken to her my earlier troubles, my innocent joys, my hopes and fears, was now cold sand unenthusiastic. What, I wondered, could be the mat- ter. She soon informed. "I'm done with you," she said. "I made up my mind when I saw you that you would make good subject matter for an educa- aional experiment. You were so de- lightfully naive, your mind was so splendidly unformed and uninformed. And the experiment worked fine. Now you are, intellectually, a thing of beauty and a joy forever. You are a polished man of the world, you who only a short month ago were only an ignorant country boy. Now I am through with you. I cast you aside." "Is zat so?". I inquired, taking two strides toward her and seizing her by the throat. "Well, I'm going to leave this town, this den of iniquity; and you, my proud beauty, are going to finance the trip. If you! refuse- well, but you won't. Just write me a ceck for ften thousannd dollars. If The opening number, almost so regular as to be uninteresting, dem- onstrated at once the perfection of technique of the players. For they were artists in technique, if not al- ways in impressiveness. As the exquisite reverence of the second movement of Haydn's Quartet was being evidenced in their playing, an angelic choir was singing, far off in spirit, "Wondrous things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of Our Lord"- sheer beauty filled that great space in the front of the hall with feeling- the variations emphasizing the mag- nificent sweetness of the . old hymn. The menuetto and Andante Canta- bile which followed happily pro- longed the beauty, the soft melody of Tschaikowsky's smooth lyric embody.- ing an admirable blending of tones- and that the quartet could do remark- ably well. Weird and airy, with a lack of har- mony characteristic of such modern works, the composition of the viola player was a little perplexing. Mr. Waldo-WIarner evidenced the only enthusiasm of the evening in the pleasure he took in rendering the strange quips and quirks of his "Pixy Ring." The expected, though somewhat indifferent, ovation, if it could be called that, was given de- servedly. For the composer painted his picture well. Having been told that there were grasshoppers and field mice and tinkling blue-bells, one could recognize them, but there was probably some doubt deep in the minds of the audience as the signi- ficance of the piece. That massive violincellist found op- portunity in the Dvorak negro quar- tet to show his quite worthy ability in producting those low melodies. The whole effect, while the technique re- mained excellent, and while there. was a certain strength in .the composition, showed a lack of real atmosphere. The negro melodies that were intro- duced failed to build up that strange- ly supersitious mood of the genuine southern spirituals. Gradually the program worked back to land again, back to the regular harmony which was evidently the best element for these artists. Tile Finale of the last series was peppy, giving a pleasant attraction to the ending of the performance. In the encore, "sally In Our Ally," the players yielded to harmony complete- ly, and regularity again took over the performance, with its characteristic lack of impresriveness. * * THE PHILAIDELPHIA SYMPHONY This evening the Philadelphia Sym- phony orchestra, under the direction of Leopold Stokowski, will make its first appearance in Detroit at the new Masonic Temple. The Philadelphia Symphony, along with the Boston and New York Symphony, is unquestion- ably the finest orchestra in America if not the world. Its short tour of the Middle West is the highest point in the musical season, and is doubly inter- esting due to the introduction of John Hays Hammonds new Four- Pedal piano, which has so revolution- ized the instrument. The program this evening will in- elude the following numbers: Overture in D minor ........ Hande Passacaglia in C minor........ ................ Bach-Stokowski Concerto, No. 2, in C minor...... ......Rachmaninofi (The Four-Pedal piano played by Lester Donahue) "Fete-Dieu a Seville".........Alben I "La Cathedrale Engloutie"..Debussy Suite, "L'Oiseau de Feu".Strawinsky * s S THE UNIVERSITY SYMPHONY The third appearance of the Uni- versity Symphonly orchestra, under the direction of Samuel P. Lockwoo and with Maud Okkelberg as soloist tomorrow afternoon in Hill auditori- um at 4:15 o'clock will present th following program, published incom- pletely in a recent issue: Overture to the Ballet, "Prome- theus," Op. 43.........Beethover "The Leaves be Greene" (Strings) ..........William Byrd Concerto, E minor...........Chopin Mrs. Okkelberg Symphony, A major ("Italian") .Mendelssohr IrvingWarialsDS C CHIROPODIST AND ORTHOPEDIST 707 N.
