THE PRESIDENT'S “COMPROMISE.” HARDY perennial in American humor is the vacation joke of the man who warts to go to the mountains and his wife who wants to go to the seashore. They “compromise,” the husband reports, and go to the seashore. This rather threadbare wheeze has innumerable variations and in the latest the agricultural bloc plays the feminine role. President Harding “com- promises.” The agricultural bloc demanded a dirt farmer on the Federal Reserve Board. They proposed an amendment to the Federal Reserve Law requiring the President to appoint a farmer. Mr. Harding was as defiant as any husband who ever yearned for the joys of the high hills. He would use the veto. Then came the “compromise.” The President makes a “gentleman’s agreement” to appoint a farmer to an augmented board. The agricultural bloc gets what it wanted. Mr. Harding goes to the seashore. Maybe the lower altitude is better for his asthma, he reflects. Harmony in the family is a fine thing when it can be gained by “compromise.” Forty-five nations are expected to be repre- sented in the international financial and eco- nomic conference at Genoa in March. The United States has been formally invited to take part, but its acceptance is still is doubt. Suggested co-operation among forty-five na- tions is by no means necessarily a League, but maybe the Harding Administration will shy at the idea. Refusing to go to Genoa might be a side shot at Geneva. LABOR UNIONS AND PUBLICITY. N the gatment strike, now happily ended by the surrender of the “outlaw” manufacturers, the union has enjoyed the approval of the press and of Public opinion. The employers hava asserted that public opinion was misled by the publicity methods of the union. Replying to this charge, President Schlesinger is quoted as follows: “The strike was won because the union was right. It had nothing to do but give the public the facts. We Lad no paid press agents and needed none.” Nevertheless, the fact remains that the union attitude toward the newspaper men reporting the strike was very different from that prevailing in many other industrial troubles. All too frequently reporters find a hostile atmosphere at strike head quarters. Reporters are regarded as hostile if the newspaper prints the ex parte statements of em- Ployers. Unionists often regard any attitude other than approval as evidence of hostility. In this connection President Schlesinger’s com- ment is valuable. It is good advice for other union leaders. When “the union was right, it had noth. ing to do but give the public the facts.” Perhaps there may be a better test of what is right , and wrong than the balance of public opinion, but until labor is willing to accept the expert adjudica- tion of a court of specialists it must depend on the public and the press. Fundamental “rightness” plus frank publicity is the best hope of labor. Even if some newspapers seem slow in arriving at a fair standard of piactice in treating labor news, the unions “ no better means of improving the press than by forbearance and consistent fair dealing. Some newspapers will react to such a course. Competition will force others into line. from the opportunity to spend money footishly, could make good more rapidly. It is an idea with possibilities of extended appli- cation FOR CITY AND MAYOR. HE Court of Appeals, the highest court in the State, unanimously upholds the constitution- ality of the act creating the present Tramsit Com- mission. Even if Corporation Counsel O'Brien @ould find a point on which to carry his threatened appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States, the chance that the Supreme Court would reverse the State Court as to the constitutionality of the act is abow! one in ten thousand. Is that the way Mayor Hylan means to spend the $100,000 of taxpayers’ money voted yesterday by the Board of Aldermen to enable him to go on fighting the Transit Commission? Is it possible he still thinks the best service he can render the people of New York City toward solving their transit problem is to use their money in foot- less attempts to block the one agency that is work- ing ahead to the solution? In the time it would take to try to get a Supreme Court decision, revise the present City Charter, amend the State Constitution and do all the other things the Mayor would do to annihilate the Transit Commission, the city could be a long way advanced with its transit settlement. Why squander time and dollars in defying au- thority that is now firmly established? Sjnce the Mayor's first fulminations against the Transit Commission the public has seen the com- mission at work. Dire prophecies of its friendliness to the traction interests have not been fulfilled. On the contrary, the Transit Commission handled Interborough finances as roughly as anybody ever handled them. So far the commission has proceeded in nd way in- consistent with its plainly expressed purpose: In readjusting securities on the basis of honest value, the commission has in view and will insist upon the elimination of “water” of every description and the frank recognition of a depreciation that investors long since dis- counted, The Transit Commission has, moreover, shown a far greater sense of the value of the people’s money than Mayor Hylan, To the Mayor $200,000,000 to replace surface trolley lines with buses or $300,000,000 more to rip out and replace elevated lines are trifles light as air In a recent interview in The Evening World, Chairman McAneny made it plain the Transit Com- mission means every new dollar to be spent, so far as may be, in adding to present transit facilities instead of merely replacing those that exist. The public should get more traction for its money, even while it plans toward a future that will some day permit the elimination of surface tracks and obsolete and undesirable carriers like the “L.” The more the public has observed the Transit Commission cn the job. the more it has inclined ta agree with Mr. Untermyer not only that it car: have confidence in the commission’s purposes but that the Transit Act “should go to the Governor's credit in mitigation of his offense ef having violated our right to home rule.” Meanwhile Mayor Hylan, with his pretended hich continue to be in fact, for those who have to pay them, 6, 10 and 15 cent 5-cent fares—w! fares—looks more and more the drag on the wheel * of traction settlement.

There are plenty of men who through their lives have been successful money makers but who leave not a cent when they die. ‘There are numbers of men who rise to important posi tions, remain in them a little while, and then gradually begin to drop back. Success is always a target. The more important the place you attain, the more peo- ple will try to get you out of it, They are not moved by any animus against you. It is a mistake to bear malice against them because the: you have. y wart what All men of ambition want to occupy the best places in the world. Merely because those places happen to be occupied doesn’t deter them from seeking them just the same. To hold any position that is worth holding requires just as much effort and just as much thought as it did to secure it. If you have made a small success don’t be content with it. More men are qualified to hold small positions than big ones, Therefore more men will be after your small place and there will be a better chance of their getting it. The wiser course is to go after a higher place yourself, MUSICAL CLASSICS How and Why They Were Written By AUGUSTUS PERRY Copyright, 1922 (New York Bening World), by Press Publishing Co. NO. II.—MENDELSSOHN'S “MID- SUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM” OVERTURE. Most of Mendelssohn's early compo« sitions were written for the tions and musicales which mere quently given by his family. the summer months these affairs were held in the beautiful gardens of the Mendelssohns in Berlin. When the composer was seventeen years of age| his father built a fine new garden, The young Mendelssohn decided that] he must write something unusual for] the opening party at the new place, The result of his decision was the| exquisite Overture to the “Mids: Night's Dream” of Shakespeare, The composition was first p as a plano duet. Mendelssohn pi it with his sister Fannie, who was accomplished pianist. When it waa first played in the garden it was ren- dered by an orchestra. Its first publ Performance was given at Stettin. Mendelssohn travel'ed in very severe weather to that city to conduct his| work. The “Overture” is con#tdered masterpiece. This composition gre out of a close intimacy with Shakes-| e's works. He had read th “MMfisummer Night's Dream” for th first time that year. He caught th elusive spirit and fantastic atmos: phere of the book and brought It 1 in the music. It is programme musi of the finest kind. In it one hears thi violins imitate the gay patter of Quee! Titania and her cour so the aii effusions of the wily Puck. The bray; ing of Bottom, who is disguised mule, is cleverly scored for the soon, and his lugubrious snoring vividly represented on the tuba, Th music in yeneral is humorous, elfitl and evanescent. About seventeen the King of Prus commission Mendelssohn to write the rest of thi incidental music to the “Midsummei Night's Dream.” The composer, not famous over Europe, complied’ witl the request and produced the musi which contains the celebrated “Wed ding March," Tt has been humoronal: said that the “Marseillaise” and “Wedding March” have led more px ple into combat than any other must ever written. It 18 considered remarkable that th “Overture” fits in exactly with th score for the whole play, written, a: it was, seventeen years before. Bac’ subject in the “Overture” recurs 1 its proper place in the comedy Th later additions, however, are not good as the “Overture.” Apropos o It, George Alexander Macfarren, th prominent English composer, wrote { the Philharmonic programme boo!
