FLONZALEY QUARTET TOPLAY IN MANDEL TODAYSelections From Schubert, Franck AndBeethoven Are On Program-Spe­cial Rate Offered On RemainingSeventy-�ve Seat�The Flonzaley quarnat wilt . offerselections from Schubert. Franck andBeethoven at the musicale this after­noon at ·t:t5 in Mandel. Musical Di­rector Stevens gave his lecture-reel­talon the program yesterday after­noon in Mandel. A special rate offifty cents has been offered to stu­dents for the seventy-five rematrunxstage seats, according to the state­ment made yesterday by the Univer­sit v Orchestral association. The reg­ular price for the stage seats is onedollar.The first two movements of Schu­bert's quartet in A minor reflect thequietude of the country and the in­timacy with nature induced by thecomposer's stay at a little Hungar­ian town called . Zelccs, where hewrote it. He used the song-melodyof the andante in the ent'racte to thethird scene of his "Rosamunde" andlater in the piano impromptu opus 124.I n the menuetto which creates a sil­very, plein-air effect on the listener,Shubert is said to anticipate the mys­ticisrn of Brahms.

Blackstone 2591.TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1916.ADD COMFORTS OF HOME.One of the bromidic boasts of theHitchcockneys is "Hitchcock is not adormitory, but a real home."It is true that a "home" presidedover by Viking janitors, a "home",where the one unforgivable sin is tobe found guilty of the possession ofan electric stove or an alcohol chafingdish, a ''home'' whose symbol of goodluck is the brickbat on the hearth,has never previously come under ourown observation. The "home," welearn, is introducing a dancing class.And yet there was time--not so farback save as college generations go,when the west section of Hitchcockwas the University training quarters.Shades of Eddy Parry, High Catlin,Wa llje Eckersall and Leo Detray!We would add Hie Jacet! were it not_that our knowledge of Latin makes ita matter of some doubt as to whetherthe. phrase is a new salad dressing 'ora legal document. But how the di:'plomae of those old--beg pardon""old"-gridiron warirors must tumover in their dusty pigeon-holes atthe thought of the grandeur that wasHitebcoek, and particularly the glorythat was Section 1.It is not even necessary to go backso far in history as the days of thetraining table. Not very long agoHitebcock was the sponsor of one ofthe most - worth-while things on thecampus--the Tuesday "Ten O'Clock."This, too, has evidently been gatheredto its fathers.And in place of it we have-a danc­ing class. The austere cloister ringsto the beat of the tom-tom and therattlc of the xylophone. A phono­graph rasps over the grating strainsof the "Ever-lovin' Honor-pointRa-a-a-ag," And the Hitchcockneys-and yet a certain bard once-asked,"What's in a name?"-wearied ofchasing culture to its lair among theGreek and Latin roots, eager for sur­cease from the mental depredationsof Anthropology, Gen.

I saacs is really sincere inhis desire to start a libel suit I com­mend the above quotations from TheChicago Daily News and The ChicagoTribune to his attention. Moreover,if what Mr. Isaacs wants is "vindica­tion" why does he not accept the op­en challenge of the Reverend 1 r­win St. John Tucker who wrote himseveral weeks ago that he assumedfull respon sibility for the' pamphletand expressed gratitude at the oppor­tunity offered by ).tr. Isaacs' threat­ened libel suit to bring him intoconrt? Here is a real opportunity giv­en to )Olr. Isaacs to prove, to the sat­isfaction of a court and jury, that thelanguage he objects to is libellous._ In his search for a defendant in hislibel suit Mr. Isaacs seems to be par­ticularly intent upon that gentlemanwho at the moment happens to be thefurthest removed from Chicago andnot subject to the processes of acourt of Cook county for months tocome. If Mr. Isaacs is in earnest,. and wants to rehabilitate himself inpublic opinion, I suggest that hebring action where he can get quickerresults than by pursuing ProfessorMead. If he wastes much more timein overlooking the very excellent op­portunity Mr. Tucker has given himto bring suit he will convince thecommunity that he does not reallywant to go to court on this issue.No filing of a libel suit, nor evena verdict in Mr. Isaacs' favor wouldconvince the right minded people ofthis community that the employersin the recent clothing strike did not-resort to indefensible tactics. It isall very well to threaten a suit forlibel but that has nothing to do withthe fact that certain gentlemen per­-sistently refused 1'0 arbitrate and em­ployed hired sluggers to help breakup a strike on the part of employes,many of them young Jewish immi­grant girls, who were trying to re­dress improper working conditionsand secure a wage sufficient to keepsoul and body together. In thatstrike the treatment of the strikingemployes could be fairly comparedto the oppression of the Jews in Rus­sia, to prevent which influential Jewsin this country have many times calledupon our Government to act. Butperhaps Mr. Isaacs and his Jewishemployers are only concerned in op­pression of the Jews at a sufficientlysafe distance so that they cannot beregarded as having any personal res­ponsibility.To rehabilitate himself as a goodcitizen what Mr. Isaacs needs is nota libel suit or even a verdict. W'hathe does need is a more metriculousconcern in the future with referenceto the character of employment that,as a member of the bar, he may ac­cept.Harold L.

Com­munications must be signed as an evi­dence of good faith, although thename will not be published withoutthe writer's consent.)<Mr. Ickes Replies;To the Editor:-).[ r. Martin J. Isaacs is quoted ina statement that appears in The DailyMaroon, issue of January 18, 1916, assaying that I have disclaimed anyknowledge or responsibility for thepuhlication of my name in connec­tion with a pamphlet containing lan­guage objected to by Mr. Isaacs andbased upon w hich v he has beenthrca teninc various libel suits.The language complained of'bv M�.Isaacs is as follows: ."It 'has been shown and not con­tradicted that a blacklist is main­tained by Martin J. Isaacs, attorneyfor the contractors-contrary tolaw-so that when an employe in­curs the dislike of a foreman in oneshop it is impossible to secure ern­ployment in any other."I t is a fact that I did not see thispamphlet until after it was called tomy attention by Mr. Isaacs. If Ihad seen it I probably would have ob­jected to certain phraseology, includ­ing that of the paragraph quoted, butI want it to be distinctly understoodthat in general I not only. approvebut commend the pamphlet, both asto its tone and subject matter.Nevertheless, there seems to havebeen a basis for the language Mr.Isaacs objects to. For instance TheChicago Daily News of October 9,1915, contains the following quota­tion from John J. Fitzpatrick, presi­dent of the Chicago Federation ofLabor."W c have been unable to makemuch progress in the organizationof the garment trade because therehas been in existence for years astrike breaking, blacklisting, laborbaiting organization, headed by At­torney Isaacs, which has success­fully dodged our attempts to prose­cute it and which has had the pro­tection of at least one judge on the_ bench."The Chicago Tribune on the fol­lowing day printed this statement:"Martin J. Isaacs, legal represen­tative of the employers, received asevere grilling in the statementsmade to the Committee by JohnJ. 'Fitzpatrick, president of the Fed­eration of Labor, Chicago, EdwardN. Nochels, secretary of the samebody, and Sidney Hillman, presidentof the Amalgamated Garment\Vorkers association. -., 'Isaacs operates a blacklistingBureau,' said Fitzpatrick.

Itis not to be denied that the expecta­tions of the framers' of the park actsin this respect 'have particularly withregard to one of the park systems, atleast not been disappointed by re­sults.Appointing Commissioners.The standards of park administra­"tion have, however, been set and arcnow so well established that publicopinion may be relied upon to pre­vent a serious decline. The consider­atiens that were controlling at thecreation of the system cannot be re­lied upon for its continuance. Themethod of appointing park commis­sioners is wrong in principle; theyare in part appointed by the governor,in part by the circuit judges, the for­mer a direct violation of local selfgovernment, even though fifty yearsago there may have been a local ref­erendum accepting the system, thelatter in reality incompatible with theconstitutional functions of courts;there is no reason to supose that ap­pointment by the mayor would giveus park commissioners of inferior cal­iher,The most serious' objection to thepresent system, however, is the une­qual distribution of resources avail­able for park development and care.The South Park system controls thetaxable capacity of the loop district,and is thus financially unduly favored.The North side and \Vest side aremore densely populated than theSouth side, and their park facilitiesare not what they ought to be; theyare certainly inferior to those ·of theSouth side, and it is time that thebalance should he in a measure re­dressed.1907 Measure Defeated.Consolidation of the parks with thecity was made possible by a consti­tutional amendment adopted in 19O-t.In the following years a vcrv ambi­tions scheme for a new city' charterwas set on foot and carried throughthe legislature in 190i. It apparently attempted too much; there was no is­sue of local politics that was not in­volved :' Sunday closing, home rule. re­apportionment, civil service, primar­ies. public utilities, tax rate-everyconceivable subject calculated toarouse animosities and bitter opposi­tion. The charter which passed thelegislature by the narrowest vote wasdecisively defeated at the polls inSeptember 1907.A more modest plan presented in1909 failed to make any progress evenin the legislature. In 1913 a measureof still more restricted scope waspassed by the legislature, but vetoed­hy the governor � on a technicalground; the same measure was- re-­passed and signed in 1915; but willhave to be voted on by the people inorder to become effective.Would Obliterate Barriers.The main purpose of the act is toconsolidate park :lnd city government;the.reference in the law to the libraryboard and the house of correctionmerely serves to dispose of certainquestions that seem to have beenraised as to th� status of these partsof the municipal government; the rev­enue provisions likewise do not seemto alter very substantially the finan­cial position of the city. -The parks are to be administeredby nine park commissioners, threefrom each part of the city, to be ap­pointed by the mayor with the con­sent of the council for a normal termof six years. All the present parkpowers are preserved and now valu­able powers for park extension andcognate improvements within' and out­side of the city limits are added.· Thestatus of civil service employees wil1remain unaffected by the change. Allfunds for the parks will be appropri­ated by the city council upon esti­mates made by the park commis­sioners.Economical Advantages.The consolidation would result insome saving, particularly in overheadexpenses; for instance, the presentsystem requires three park civil ser­vice hoards in adelition to that of thecity,-c1early a totally unnecessarymultiplication oi work that can bemuch more advantageously handled byone body, There should he a fur­ther �ain in the better correlation ofindependent matters now s\lbject todivided jurisdictions; park and har­.hor improvements on the lake shore;streets and boulevards; parks andplaygrounds; and similar municipalactivities and concerns of uncertain ordouble incidence, Above all the citywill he in a position to distribute Tsenima�(Continued on Page 3)THE DAILY MAROON, TUESDAY, 'FEBRUARY 8, 1�16 •.

The city council may appointany election day for the purpose, andit is probable that the act will bevoted on either at the April or at theJune election.\Vhile it is hazardous to make pre­dictions regarding the result of suchelection, the -chances for adoptionshould be better than they were in1907: for the questions that arousedmost controversy and animosity atthat time. have been eliminated: andthe issue is practically narrow-ed downto the single point of consolidation.An interesting incidental question thatwill arise is whether women will beentitled to vote at the election. Twoyears ago it seems to have been as­sumed that they had the right; butthere was no authoritative decisionand ' under the constitutional amend�ment of 1914 their right seems verydoubtful, However. this is a factorthat will hardly affect the final re­sult.CLUB PLANS PUBLICLECTURE TOMORROWMisses Fell And.
