HE AMERICAN LEGION begins this week a drive to enroll in I in the war service of the Nation. The enrollment should prove an inspiring task. Besides the) active co-operation of the men and women who served, it will have) ‘the earnest approval and support of the entire country. Here is a great body of citizens whose patriotism has passed the. highest test, whose Americanism has shown itself 100 per cent. sound and dependable. These citizens represent every class of society, every phase of American life. As they return to the pursuits of peace they carry into every stratum of the country’s industrial, social and political activity wholesome influences from the discipline, training and concentration upon supreme national purpose which were for them @ never-to-be-forgotten part of the great experience of war. What a force these 5,000,000 Americans can be now in helping to hold the Nation on a true course through the dangerous currents and reefs of Reconstruction! Organized and held togetMer by the memory of a common service too big ever to let itself be used for sordid or partisan ends, too uncompromisingly American ever to listen to false doctrines that strike at the institutions to which the people of the United States owe their prosperity and progress, what a power these 5,000,000 can exert throughout the length and breadth of the land to keep all post-war ebanges safe and sane! ® Amid strikes, conflicts and symptoms of industrial unrest that are too often intensified and complicated by deliberately disruptive | propaganda of un-American origin, the country could in the imme: | diate future be served in no better way than by the concerted patriotic, influence of five million widely-distributed members of an American Legion. If it jealously maintains high standards of purpose and leadership | the American Legion can quickly become and forever remain one of the strongest, most independent, respected and stabilizing forces in the national life. —_—_—_———_—_—_ Commissioner Enright lectured a score of police captains yesterday on crime. Just to add point to his remarks half a dozen bandits raided the Williamsbridge branch of the Bronx Borough Bank at high noon and got away with $7,500 after one of the quietest and most gentlemanly bank hold-ups on record. ——_—_-+- DRAW IT HARD AND FAST. AR VETERANS and others who are ready to take an oath of undivided allegiance to the public are finding places on Boston's reconstructed police force. That is as it should be. The body of men who were formerly Boston policemen, but who broke their oaths and betrayed the public, have no right to interfere in any way with the formation of the new force. They have no right to call themselves a Policemen’s Union. There can be no Policemen’s Union without policemen. By the laws of Massachusetts these deserters are no longét policemen. They have no further standing as such, We hope the Massachusetts authorities will continue to draw the Tine so hard and fast that there can be no mistake as to what it separates. The whole country is more and more deeply interested in having St finally established beyond the possibility of doubt that, American Federation of Labor or no American Federation of Labor, a com- munity in any one of the United States has the right to change its , entire police force over night if the members of that force deliberately ehoose to demonstrate their faithlessness. ‘ a Tenching coe In News from Boston: © the Bartenders’ Union announced it would support ve striking police.” | For auld lang «yne! ———_-4=- —___ THE HYPOCHONDRIAC. ONFRONTED by the Public Service Commission with the facts gathered by The Evening World bearing on present | overcrowding in the subway during non-rush hours, General Manager Hedley of the Interborough said: “We would like ¢o run more trains on all our lines, but have not the operating funds. We cannot long continue to pay out more than we are taking in.” Is it barely possible that a vigorous Interborough campaign to capture more profitable short-haul nickels by providing a fuller and| more attractivg service might add to its operating funds? That is the policy of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company, which through vigilant economies and by tempting the public to ride is raising wages and keeping a long way from bankruptcy on a five- cent fare basis, * The Interborough has become a hypochondriac with but one idea—that the five-cent fare is killing it. ———__ 4 COWPER SLIGHTLY REVISED.

All this was in the very beginning of the nineteenth century (Mason was born in 12), when we were still ‘0, (The Evening Wi = 4 primitive people, too busy to tsther over such trifles | JY ws muste oF art or literature.

Musicians were regarded as loafers, Lowell Mason as a mere child rebelled against all He was a musical genius, although neither he nor those around hin | knew it? He hated the tuneless chants which were sung in the New Bug- land churches, He believed the praise of God merited the most beautiful | music that could be composed, He believed the country should cultivate | good music, He gave up his life to the fulfilment of these ideas, And ' he made good. ‘There were no musical instruments {n his village and no one to teach the use of them. Mason worked in the store, saving up his cash, until he could send away to Boston or'New York and buy a second-hand cornet or violin or guitar or piccolo or any pther musical instrument he could get. ‘Then, by careful study, he would teach himself to play upon these, He found stray copies of Handel and Haydn scores, and he studied \ them day and night. He fought a dreary, uphill fight to make himself a musician, and such of the neigh- bors as did not call him a fool thought he was an in- corrigible idler. But Mason kept on, Through his home ‘studies and his native genius he was developing his talents | at a rapid rate. At sixteen he took charge of the Medfield Church choir, To the outward displeasure and secret delight of the neighbors, he began to get real music out of this volunteer organisa~ | tion, which had hitherto been content to sing tuneless tunes through their | hoses and far off the key. Then he organized singing classes for winter evenings. Bit by bit he aroused in his fellow New Englanders a taste for music. But just as it | seemed as if he might be going to reap some real results of his thankless labors he decided to stop educating other people for a while and to educate himself, He went to Savannah, Ga. where at that time there were one or two foreigners who were musicians of correct training. And there he studied, | Nine years passed before he came North again, bringing with him book of church hymns which he had prepared. Some of these were of hia own composition. Others he had adapted from airs by famous European composers. But nobody was interested in Mason's scheme to substitute these beautiful hymns for the droning chants already in use. He had tremendous difficulty in getting his hymn book published. (He did not want it copyrighted, for ne wished it to be within the reach of all.) But finally the book was printed and put upon the market. At once it sprang to jon-wide fame. It revolutionized American hurch music, It was an example and an education to thousands of aspir- ing young musicians. Mason had made good.. | Next he stirred up Boards of Education to make the teaching of sing- ing a part of every public school course, Up to that time such a thing as singing in school had never been heard of in this country. And, in spite of opposition, Mason carried his point. American churches, American schools, owe Lowell Mason a debt that cannot be paid, ® Made a Long Uphill Fight.
