DECEMBER 1920.

THE RETURN OF GERMAN OPERA. The Manhattan Opera House announces German opf-ras to bj funtr in German lu-xt month. "Fortunately," say tt th New York World. "w b lU-ve that tho g:roat majority of the community has rf-eovere.l from the unreasoning: Mtterness wijich sought to visIt the military ?lns of a nation on its art? ami culture." X It was natural that tho "bitterness felt the world ov-T aRaliit thp brutal attempt to subjugate Europe fhould spread Its ripples even to the shores of art and culture. It was best, umloubtofliy, that for a time the German language should have been hushed iverywhfre In this country. I ti t not only doc. time smooth over all thirP. On extremely important aspect of German music and drama was overlooked by Its critics. This is the f ict that the pre.it German comrorrrs were almost without txreption animated by an un-Pru.-'sian if T.nt actively antl-ITviKsi.Tn spirit. Washer, who.se :nu.-ic-dramas were not permitted in French or Enqr-;ish-fpnkinff "countries durlns? the war, was full of the spirit of democracy, r.eethoven, in fomo respects the jratfst of them nil, was of a Be'plan family, "nd wis tremendously inspired by the French revolution. Hin mufln breathes constantly the spirit of the Individual working out hi struggle against fate. In every word and every measure he fought the spirit of autocracy. Schumann, too. was always worki:i!7 forward toward human liberty. When the .Marseillaise was fnr'ddden to be played In Vienna, :t was Schumann wh had the daring and the humor to Incorporate snateh.es of it in his "Vienna Carnival-Pranks," so tb-eting and so cleverly hidden thai before a hand rould be laid on the player's shoulder he was playing 'Something eLe, yet ko unmistakable that no hearer could fail to recognize he tune. The list might bo indefinitely lengthened. Art is not only a thing apart from militarism. In almost every case it has followed the lines of the human struggle for liberty. .Music, because of the ignorance of censor, has been peculiarly free in it expression. In tM;Jng hack the fut of the German protest against thns sins.

CREATING NEW FEDERAL JOBS. With admirable consistency the republicans who have be vi protesting against "the army of orliceholdcr.s" in Washington, are laying plans to establish new iTMc s. 'nc of them provides for a new cabin-1 pj.-iti"n with nn itu'.' linite number of lmrejus and bodies ancillary- and auxiliary, all in the Intens;, of course, of strict govenim"ntal rco- : i o i .i y . Xu one doubt that the war e ailed into public K?n a 'aruer nani r of m n and woru-n tint! v-.Tr ever there. The task wis enormous and rei. Mired f'-rvife. It was not any .is-ier to discharge :h: emp'oyes the day after the armistice was t-ifcn. d than for a manufacturer to re b ase his entire ore- when the las-; shipment, is made. Afi'tr any great undertaking there is a pfriod r,f ..! ablation hieh r-'iu Ires . rvi.-e. in the ras-- cf lb- puvef niv.eni large itccks of nvaterials had to binventoried and sold, reports had to be compil--' 1 ::d accountings made. As soon ns these- were com 1 i -ted th" rnployci! were released. Apparently It is this retrenchment that is annoy, lr.g the hungry o:bc--e ke-rs. And it i probably to make ur fbi d- licit that t!i- party leaders now feel called Upon to create new offices.

DEVELOP THE WATER POWER. It Is not alone in the discovery f h. natural law's application to man's aiTuirr that the race forges ahead. It Is also x its development. For e ntunes, of course, we bae known that water running downhill is convertible to power and yet cur efforts to chain that power have so far been pigmy attempts. Niagara. It is true, is giving energy to a score of indutries, and the nation has benefited. Uut in Maine alor.e there is enough water power, most of it going to waste, to tarn tne wheels of one-eighth of the nation's mills. Science and hnsmsN at last appear to be linking up, and k re.er.t announcement from the governor of Maine Ij to the ttfevt that that state may soon be exrected to take a more prominent part in industrial Molds. If Main can do so much, what possibilities ar? there throughout the nation! Commerce can be vitalized, the wheels cf fact 'rb -j m a thousand new places can be set spinning. "White ccal" L what water power mn call the gbtr.l of t nerry with which they are fami'.lar. Its development uill aid materially in conservation of eth'. r natural resjurces of the country of which the suvp'y is not so everlas'ing.

THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE AND WHAT WILL IT COME TO. Ires't Wilson has y. r.t what will probably be hi. st mr-sag- to the congress of the United Statt-u;

th las-'t of a long list ef ttate papora that will go down through h:s'ory without any equal for true American spirit, for human insight, acquaintance with world affairs, the needs of humanity, and sonne of Christian re pom-äbiüty. Pe rhaps we should stop right here and W it cro at that. The enemies that hi pro-ddtntial career has made him, and the qualitj of those enemies, are a sufficient guarantee that Iiis greatness will be recognized. He did ned go to th-- congress with his message as he used to before his political assassins struck him down, broken in health, the product of their partisan jealousy and greed. Ii talked to the congress by messenger instead, and barring his failure to mention the Ver.-ailbs treaty or Iaguo of Nations, mlpht as to essentials, about as well havfa had reread messages F nt to the- same congress months ago even back to the one from across the ?eaa. The failure of the legislative branch of the government to give him the legislation for which he has been pleading ever since the armistice, is what necessitated the repetition, and if congress still persists In its dere iictlon, there will be little else for his successor to recommend, particularly so far as concerns our internal affairs, when it is his to do the advising. The- e-uesiion is. will the anti-administration senate and hou.ce, simply because in the majority, continue to practice their ultra-partisanship, holding the country in suspense, unrest, and the government limited in power to act, as they have for more then a year, now that it has "erved to g-t the government turned over to them for the next four years to come? It would seem now that the American people having been fooled to the full satisfaction of the plain anti-administration purpose something ought to be accomplished. The election is over. Will it be possible for us to return to the spirit of "right makes might," inste ad of "might, .right." as the president suggests, or ha.s the latter really become a Ottled policy with the masses of the people, lost as it might ncem to all those spiritual virtues, to which he rote ts? What is the spirit of America today anyhow? Congress, representative of the people, Is called upon to answer. Equal laws, and equal enforcement of our law3; indeed, the president seems riht In recommending it; a government holding the scales of justice, rather than legalizing privilege. Nothing could contribute more to demonstrate the righteous power cf democracy, and re-establish us in the eyes of the world as an example for free peoples. We need it too to offset the forces of chaos and tyranny which are playing so disastrous a part in the fortunes of mankind. T) maintain our equilibrium, epiite as the president haß said, political democracy is not enough, but there must be social democracy, to a larger degree, and he might have added, a little more judicial democracy, invedved in the judgments of some of our courts. However, congress has its work outlined for it, ami let it proceeel. We shall see what we shall see. We shall see whether the old game of pre-election eiereliction is to prevail cn Capitol hill as in the days when humbugging the people was deemed such a partisan necessity. Every law that the president has recommended, with one exception, should have been on the statute books, in keeping with his previous recommendations, from six months to eighteen months ago. but for the anti-administrationism that placed party above patriotism, and politics above the public welfare.

CLOSING DOOR TO ALIEN. Agreement by the house immigration ceimmltteo upon a bill to be submitted to congress to suspend the admittance of aliens to the United States for two years makes sure that the lawmakers will have a definite nrogram to consider at the forthcoming short session, which opened Monday. It is helped that there will not be too many proposals, b-t in the conflict over what action should be taken, nothing will be done. It is well understood that the influx of foreigners is becoming alarming, accompanied, as it is, by a general slowing down of inelustry. The thing to do, then, is to put up the bars at once, without too nice dispute as to what weight of spikes should be used. It is already indicated that some will urge that the two-year ban proposed by Rep. Johnson be restricted to six months, in order that congress hav time to study the situation. A six months' ban would be a mere steq gap that would expire almost as soon ns its operation could be made effective, and might expire before a permanent policy has been agreed upon. Either immigration should be suspendeil or should not be suspended. If it shculd be stopped, the ban should be absolute and the period long enough to be of practical effect. o Mi? Alice Robertson, Oklahoma's new congresswoman, is to bo r.sked to run the House restaurant. Since a man is "what he eats." it is hoped, in the interest of good government, that Miss Robertson will consent. o How tlo the advocates of the quiet Sabbath expect to prevent family quarrels, which generally occur when a family is shut up all day with nothing else to elo? O Sermons of Henry Ward Reecher have le?n destroyed by tire. They warned that everything would be.

An Austrian stowaway was rescued from a raft in New York harbor. We had heard that a raft of immigrants was coming in. This confirms it. o It is not easy to understand vhy a loafer picks on a busy man when he takes a notion to waste ome more time. o An efficiency expert is sometimes a person who knows more about running your business than his own.

The averatre person likes to have assurance that honesty is paying him in dollars and cenis. o An actress says she can't live on J SO, 000 a year. A lot of people who would like to can't, either.

Figures may not lie, but statistics will back up a lot of misinformation.

Hl GGTNG vs. DRIVING. A youth in New Jersey lost his motor license for elriving his car with one hand while he hugged a girl with the other. The judge took It away after telling him that he could do enly one thing at a time in New Jersey. This verdict was no more than fair to the girl. For it stands to reason that any girl who is worth huirging at all ic worth hugging with both arms. The youth was not only guilty of reckless driving, but of bort circuit. Any man who contents himself with half measures should not be permitted to hug or to drive a machine or anything. Not only his motor license but his hugging license as well should have been amputated. His predicament, however, merely Illustrates the- inconvenience of modem conveniences. In the olden days the youth would have been in a buggy and could have dropped the lines and applied himpelf to the girl exclusively. He might oven hav let one foot hang comfortably outside. Rut when you are in a motor car you can't let your foot hang outside without the risk of having it snapped at by rural dogs which run out of barnyards and yelp in your path. And as for hugjrlng a pirl with both arms, you can't do that unless she knows how to drive the car, and ven then it is well to carry accident insurance and have an understanding with the garage man. On the whole, hugging should be

separated from driving. In fact,! hugging should be -separated from a number of activities such as shav- ! ing. playing golf, walking a tight, rope .and filling out income tax re-1 turns. TATLER. I

Adorable Blouses With all the freshness and daintiness one loves in a gift blouse, are our Christmas blouses. One cannot have too many and they are always appreciated. Because tastes vary, we have exemplified many different creations of Georgette in pink, white or bisque that will go with any color skirt or suit; and Georgette blouses in navy, brown and taupe to match the fall suit. The trims are lace or beads or other novelties. A tailored silk waist in plain colors or stripes is always desirable and just now ultra-smart. A middy like these for the young miss to wear to school would find a proud wearer. Here are middies of cotton and linen and navy serge. Second Floor South Center Aisle
