Yet if we are to have faith in the future, and to give inspiration to our descendants, we muyst manifest a greater loyalty for our own times, their energies and their ideals. The correct attitude toward today may be restored to those who are cyni® |cal of modernism if they will but re- flect that the classic of today repre- Sents the modernism of yesterday, and thereby grasp the fact that today's vital and worthy forms of expression are destined to survive as the classics of tomorrow. In every age modernism has been a manifestation of the virility of its time, a keynote that has sounded the harmonies of development from the beginning. ’ The most striking example_of mod- ernism of late, because the most sensa® tional departure from ancient stand- ards, is found in musiec, , particularly as represented by the radical innova- tions of Strauss and Debussy. These | are extremists fn modernism, and, as| has been pointed out by Redfern Mason in a recent treatise on the subject, they depict such unpleasant characters as Herod by sounds lh.l( jar the ear Just as the perverted nature portrayed jars the mind. -As Mr. Mason says, Strauss boldly realizes In music the in- | euphoniousness of sin, choosing ugli- | ness as a means of musical convietion. Thus abnormal aspects of tonality ac- complish results sometimes deemed barbaric, yet the same extreme mod- ernists utilize effects no less strange to accomplish expressions of delicate and | wondrous beauty when interpreting the’ good and the true. | The conclusion must be, in all the| arts and crafts, as illustrated so vividly in the universal speech of music, that the genius of man today is striving to eéxpress in modernism the themes that record the spirit of the human race, so that future stages of civilization may gather grace from our interpretations. { While we build on what we term the | classics of the past, the future has need e ESSSS, | of the structure that we are develop- The good citizen will not forget that | .. ung out of our manifestations of Mr. Taft is president of all the people. | modernism* those who come after us In politics as In base ball, the man | *N®1! 8cquire growth and pay grateful who plays tor his release generally tribute to the geniuses who in their gets it. own day were misugderstood and un- appreciated.

It is such cases as these that shake the faith of the laymen in the efficacy of modern police practice, The Commercialized Chautauqua. When good old Bishop Vincent of the Methodist Kpiscopal church con- cefved his Chautauqua plan for the purpose of extending the privileges and pleasures of a liberal education to those who had for any reason been de- prived of these advantages, he builded far better than he knew. In its orig- up systematically and effectively vari- ous branches of advanced learning and gave to many thousands a broader grasp and a deeper insight in the ab- struse as well as praciical sclences. It was inevitable that an idea so preg- nant with possibilities should grow. The Chautauqua idea grew even faster than its founder hoped. From the cir- cles that met during the winter months for the purpose of comparison of re- sults in reading and to listen to lec- tures on topics connected with the course, the step to the popular summer school was easy. In shady groves the tents were spread and underneath the tabernacle by the waterside the multi- tude sat and drank from the knowl- edge set before them by the able and experienced. This was the golden age of the chautauqua. Now we have fallen on the commer- cial age. Senators of the United States, members of congress, judges of our courts, writers and singers, and all sorts and conditions of men and women plan with deliberation for the coming of a chautauqua campaign. It is no |longer animated by a deep desire to | spread the flowers and fruits of learn- ing and wisdom within the reach of the ‘\great mass of the people, but it has .come to be a scramble for the gate re- | ceipts. Senators of the United States | hurry away from the legislative halls |to follow on the chautauqua platform !the hobby they have pursued at Washy |ington. Members of congress follow |the senators. Judges of the courts |leave cases undetermined, and dockets Icrowdad with work, that they may go out and lecture, while the multitude hurries to the enclosure that they may hear the volce of some man possessed | of a little brief notoriety. The quality of the information thus imparted is beyond question. It is not that which Bishop Vincent intended should be given as a part of the chau- tauqua course any more than are the gate receipts related to his original idea, The commercialized chautauqua has ceased to be an instrument for the greatest good, and all too frequently has become merely the vehicle for the dissemination of misinformation. Prophesies of the Wizard. Edison’s long promised concrete houses that could be poured into molds to harden over night at slight expense have thus far proved such a chimera | that the public is hardly in 2 mood to treat gravely any more prophesies from the wizard until there ig tangible evi- dence that they are serlously intended. Nevertheless what the inventor of modern wonders has to say of future possibilities 1is always entertaining, and in his latest review of the prob- lems of science he covers such a wide range that he is apt to hit some of his forecasts right. a practicable machine. The success- fu) aeroplane, in his opinion, must be built on the hellcopter principle or it will never defy the winds is to have foot-size planes distributed on a 100 to 150-foot circle and con- trolled from the center by wires. He recognizes the vast force locked up in | radium, but fails to discover any way of freeing it so that the tremendous energy may afford fuel, light and power. He has confidence that science will achieve commercial success in its efforts to conserve the power of fuel which is now so largely wasted in com- bustion, and he has full faith in the utilization of the water falls, but con- fesses that the problem of harnessing the ocean waves calls for too stagger- ing an investment, Little vexations he yet expects to be solved are the abolition of friction, the determination of gravity, heat, light and electricity, concerning all of which he holds mankind as densely ignorant, and the mastery of obtaining power direct from the sunlight. He bas no use for the monorail, decides that chemical food will never be a commer- clal proposition and conslders wireless as in its infancy.

[ Boston's Experiment, " Whether Boston is to ewmerge tri-| | umphant or a victim of a, misguided | ;ennrl to divorce municipal government | from partisan politics is to be deter- {mined on Tuesday, when the fixst elec-| {tion under the new charter will be | held. 1 the plan proves a failure the | citizens will have only themselves to blame, for the charter was adopted by | referendum vote, in an open field against another proposed form. The| old-fashioned political primary and | convention system was deliberately re- pudiated and in its place the voters ac- cepted the plan of*nominations by peti- tion. The new government is to con-; sist of a mayor elected for a term of four years, a council consisting of nine members at large and a school com- missioner. The campaign has been a lively one and promises to bring out a general vote, for the new mayor will have the expenditure of $100,000,000 and the control af 13,000 city employes, of whom 3,000 are school teachers. Be-| cause Boston is the first of the great cities of the country to adopt the non- partisan method of electing a chief ex- ecutive advocates of reform already are hailing the Hub as a shining exam- people of their creed, but it is less than two weeks since that so eminent a Bos- tonian as the president of Harvard col” | lege decried what he termed the folly of attempting any permanent form of government without the basis of united purpose as indicated by the established usage of rival party organizations. At any rate, it is difficult to see at this distance how the city is any better off in thé matter of candidates than it has been hitherto. Storrow, a banker, best known to the country as a former Harvard athlete, is being supported by the reform element, but among many of the people is looked upon as too much of an aristocrat; Fitzgerald, who | has held the office of mayor under democratic auspices, is a spoilsman of the Tammany type, but has a strong popular following; Hibbard, present mayor, is a dyed-in-the-wool repub- lican; and Taylor is the family candi- date of the leading Boston newspaper. So that so far as personality is con- cerned the campaign has all the char- acteristics of the usual Boston election. A hazard of the results of the Boston experiment may be made from the re- sult of Tuesday's balloting, but the full fruits thereof will not be determined until the plan shall have been in active working force some time. The Fate of Andree, Recurrence from the Canadian northwest of circumstantial reports of a “house from the sky” that fell within the Arctic circle to the aston- ishment of the Eskimos and Indians gives color to the theory that at last clvilization has definite tidings of An- dree and his balloon quest of the pole. Bishop Pascal at Prince Albert, Sas- | katchewan, has received official docu- ments from Father Turquetit, a mis- slonary in the wilds, confirming the earlier newspaper chronicle that three white men who came down from the clouds in a “house of ropes” had been sheltered by the natives of the Rein- deer Lake region, that they had died shortly afterward and that the ropes and wreckage of the “‘house” had been divided among the tribes. William Irvin, for fifty-seven years in charge of the Hudson Bay post at Good Hope, on the Mackenzie river, tells of seeing & balloon pass overhead at night, so close that the voices of the occupants were heard.

SECULAR REMARKS AT PULPIT. Charleston News and Courfer: A New York minister preached on “Leopold in Hell; Satan Abdicates.” Maybe the minis- ter will have the opportunity to change his views.

Louisyille Courler-Journal: A Texas evangelist says “persons who speculate on the stock market or bet on horse races are | bound for hell in a racing automobile,” but the experience of an observer is that those who speculate on horse races or bet on the stock market usaally arrive there as pedes- trians. Chicago Tribune: By means of a circular the Rev. W. L. Southerton of the Baptist temple, New York City, tells his congrega- tion that hereafter copper and nickel coins will not be acceptable as church contribu- tions. Nothing less than a silver quarter or dime is wanted. It Is possible that this will meet the approval of his flock in gen- eral, but undoubtedly there are some mem- bers who cannot stand the-ante insisted upon by the clergyman. It is possible, also, that Pastor Southerton has forgotten the parable of the widow's mite, or that he thinks it Is not applicable to modern times and conditions. Philadelphla Record: A Pittsburg de- faulter charged with squandering $80,000 of the money of the Presbyterfan church Is sald to have been located in Chicago, and is quoted as saying that the Pittsburg peo- ple will not try to extradite him. “I would give some of them a few bad hours,” he says, “so 1 guess they will leave me alone.” At the same time the officers of the First Presbyterlan church are reported to have said: "It costs money to hire detectives, and what's the use of sending good money after bad? We're not going to bother him." Is 1t possible that he is to be let alone because he would tell too much If he came back?
