The South Needed the Banks
THE loans and discounts made by tho twelve
Federal reserve banks amounted to $33,
851,000 on May 28, tho Inst full day of bank
ing business last month. Of this amount,
18,029.000, or mora than one-half, had been
loaned and discounted by the banks In Rich
mond, Atlanta and Dallas. Tho loans and
discounts of tho Philadelphia bank were only
M,4M,000. Tho New York bank's discounts
and loans wero $3,597,000. But tho Richmond
bank had accommodated tho member banks
In the enormous sum of J7.U2.000, tho Atlanta
bank 14,489,000 and tho Dallas bank (6,148,000.
Nothing proves moro conclusively than
these figures that the South needed tho banks.
Tho reserves of tho member banks have bo
come mobile, and thoy can be used wherp
there Is demand for money. The casing of
the money market, which naturally follows,
will Benefit every Industry nnd must Increase
tho general prosperity of tho whole region.
Protecting the Child
CITOf and State have taken Important steps
within tho past few days to safeguard
further tho health of childhood Governor
Brumbaugh has signed a bill to mako every
teacher, superintendent or other person an
assistant health officer. Director Zlegler an
nounces that fifteen nurses' have been ap
pointed to the division of child hygiene, and
that by July forty such skilled women will
bo ministering to the needs of tho children
of tho poor In place of the meagre eight of
last summer.
Tho first measure means not only health to
tho children but better education. It used to
bo the fashion to try to pick flaws in Tom-
mlo's statements of how soro his throat was,
kand to send him to school to await develop
ments. Now It Is recognized that such Tom
mies are spreading the germs of their Illness
anong tho other children, and creating a
conation In which no child can do Intelligent
work. Teachers of today are expected to
eavo the child and his associates by sending
him home for diagnosis and cure. That Is
sanity.
The wisdom of Director Zlegler's action Is
too obvious to need explanation. It means
an honest attempt to erase Philadelphia's
unenviable record for tho third highest In
fantile death rate In tho United States.
Gigantic Strategy of the War
THE Allies are not merely moving army
divisions against Germany and Austria
Hungary, They are moving whole natlonB.
When the psychological moment arrived they
mobilized the Italian armies and hurled them
against the southwestern frontier of Austria,
With the consent, of course, of the Italians
The next move will bo not to send Russian
or French troops to attack the eastern fron
tier of Austria-Hungary, but to call out the
Rumanian troops, thus surrounding the Teu
, tonic allies with a wall of hostile nations and
' compelling them to defend every frontier.
Never be.fore has such gigantic strategy been
, employed in warfare
After Rumania has moved her armlea into
the field wo may expect newa that Bulgaria
has Joined the Allies In their attack on Tur
key, and will march on Adrlanople, and
thence advance with the Russians and Brit
ish to the very gates of Constantinople Itself.
Tho Kaiser Is Napoleonic, at least, in hla
capacity for inviting the hostility of all na
tions. Articles of War That Cannot Be Replaced
THE British losses for last week were 900
officers and 20,000 men. Not all of them
were killed, but they might aa well hava
been aa far as further immediate service In
behalf of their country Is concerned The
munition factories are having a hard time
Jjeeplng the armies supplied. How hopeless
to expect that either England or any other
lunation can supply victims very much longer?
A gun can be made In a week or two, Tho
ordinary natural processes require 16 yeara
to make a human being of suitable size for
the battlefield, The great conflict la getting
down to rock bottom. Preparation for war,
it seems, must begin a generation ahead of
time, and it must be seen first in the birth
rate.

Tongue-tied Unless Foot-loose
T MAY bo that In any circumstances tho
I
President would have become his own
Secretary of State In tho consideration of
such Important matters ns have recently
come to the attention of tho Government. It
Is apparent, nevertheless, that had Mr.
Bryan applied himself to the duties of his
offlco instead of traipsing nbout tho country,
If he had devoted himself to study of and
preparation for tho Important duties of hla
position, ho would not now bo ft cipher in
his own department And a moro ornament in
Washington. Ho had no time to mako him
Bclf a good Secretary of State and he reaps
tho reward that Is lnovltablo In such cir
cumstances. There can bo no question that Sir. Bryan
coaxed the President Into the fatal Mexican
no-pollcy-at-all program. Tho sudden pur
pose of Washington to take hold of tho situa
tion and master It Is as evidently a revolt by
tho moro practical members of tho Cabinet,
who were wise enough to sco that the coun
try would not endure longer tho wishy
washy attitude of Washington. It Is a repu
diation of Bryan and of tho now Bryanlsm,
which has como to mean In tho public mind
a Bort of 18 to 1 foreign policy meaning 16
Americans against It to every ono for It.
There Is a rumor that Mr. Bryan will lcavo
tho Cabinet and offer for the Presidency on a
prohibition ticket. There Is moro smoko than
flro to that; but tho nation would not bo at
all surprised to learn of his withdrawal In
tho near future. Ho Is a man who needs to
bo free, and somehow he shows to bettor ad
vantage when on tho attack than when en
gaged In defending policies which aro In part,
at least, his own.
A Leash for War Dogs
r
thing decidedly martial In the news that
Pennsylvania now possesses a law against
unnaturalized aliens owning dogs. For the
lack of such far-sighted legislation England
found its German districts, at tho outbreak
of war, Infested with Teutonic carrier
pigeons ready to wing their way to tho
Frledrlchstrasse, setting up a disastrous
competition with the normal mall routes. If
wo aro to havo trouble with Germany, It will
bo a great relief to feel that no alien dachs
hund may be conveying secret dispatches
down tho Dolawaro and ncross tho Atlantic
to Wllhelmshaven. Perhaps tho Legislature
and tho Governor oven Buspccted a plot to
feed our citizens on poisoned sausago meat
in tho event of conflict. No precaution
against such horrid possibilities can be too
hastily taken.
The sponsors of the bill to make dog-owning
and ballot-casting Inseparable shield
whatever purposes of such a patriotic naturo
that they havo by tho explanation that many
alien miners keep large kennels of vIcIoub
"strays," "both mongrel, puppy, whelp and
hound, and cur of low degree." They might
have found more plausible and less offensive
disguises for their patriotic act. Why might
it not bo explained as an attempt to put a
premium on naturalization? Or It might bo
called a measure to simplify the State's
finances by consolidating tho poll tax nnd tho
dog tax. Of course. If tho patriotic zeal of
Pennsylvania's Solons Is really as great as
this maater-measuro seems to Indicate, they
should not have hesitated to proclaim that
they passed it simply to protect their own
dignity. As Shakespeare has It:
1 am Sir Oracle,
And when I ope my lips, let no dog bark.
Build Ships
THE man who has a ship to sell today can
get a bigger price for It than would hnvo
been offered a year ago. Tho London Times
has followed tho history of ono ship of 3000
tons, built In 1899, and reports the astound
ing Increase in its market value. In May of
laat year it was sold for $72,500; in August a
purchaser paid J90.000 for It; in November it
changed hands' for $100,000, and early in this
year it was sold for $125,000.
The moral Is obvious. The war is destroy
ing ships that are needed in commerce The
man who has ships to sell when the war Is
ended and trade resumes Its normal courses
will reap a handsome profit, unless the law
of supply and demand Is repealed and the
ordinary course of prices Is reversed.
Rumania ceases to ruminate.

A NEW RUSSIA
BORN OFTHE WAR
Co-operative Spirit of tho People
Finding an Expression Hitherto
Denied Some of Its Manifesta
tions Vodkn and Absolutism.
By JOSEPH SHAPLEN
JUST ns tho culturo and economto develop
ment of Germany appear to bo In striking
contrast with its feudal political structure,
so Is tho autodracy of Russia In total vari
ance with tho truly democratic, almost com
munistic nnd deeply Christian spirit of her
people. The strength nnd potentialities of a
nation are not to be Judged by tho worst but
by the best In it.
Perhaps tho greatest significance of the
war to Ruwla Is in tho fact that certain In
stlnctlvo qualities of tho popolo havo been
brought to the surface by tho sheer force of
necessity In tho present conflict, For thero
lfl no denial of the assertion that had not tho
people of Russia felt that tho war they wero
fighting was portentous of tremendous
chango In their life Russia would havo not
been able to carry tho strugglo to lis present
status.
While It Is true that radical reforms have
been promulgated by tho Government In tho
military organization of tho Empire, theso
reform? would hao been of no avail had not
the people of Russia, become fired with a
n.itlon-uldo social consciousness and glvon
that consciousness expression In a million
deeds of mutual help, association and demo
cratic responsibility well borne.
ElTect of tho War
In the other nnrrlng countries, particularly
In Germnny and England, tho war has cre
ated a condition of virtual Stato socialism.
What would havo been regarded In peaco
times ns a gross violation of tho doctrines
of indhlduallsm nnd branded ns dangerous
paternalism became nn accepted fact because
of tho demands of national security. Fac
tories, plants, whole Industries, hao been
sebed by tho Government, nnd nro run In tho
Interest of tho pcoplo ns a whole. It wns
realized nt tho very beginning of tho war
that this toi tho only way In which tho
social organization could be kept Intact in
the face of forcea of destruction let Iooko
all over Europe. But both In England and
In Germany this was brought nbout nB a re
sult of orders from abovo nnd occnsloncd
little, If nny, surprho. In autocratic Russia
the samo transformation took placo as a re
sult of tho initiative from below, from tho
peoplo themselves
The Government realized that It could not
fight tho war with nny hope of success If tho
soldiers were to enter tho battlo saturated
with vodka. Tho sweeping edict which abol
ished the vodka traffic may provo to bo tho
undoing of Russian absolutism, though It
will offer a temporary advantage to tho rul
ing powers. '
Tho Russian people, both in the cities nnd
In the provinces, havo stretched out helping
hands to ono nnothcr across the entlro length
nnd breadth of the Emplro Tho soldiers In
the field, tho wounded, tho widows nnd or
phans at home, tho nrtlRnn1), tho peasantry,
nil felt that thoy hao been united ns noer
before Into a pcoplo whoso Interests wero
Identical nnd whoso sneriflces wero being
made In the Interest of each nnd nil Scores
of thousands of homes, rich nnd poor, It
seems, havo been turned Into hospitals nnd
food supply stations. Educational and recro
ntlon centres havo been established for thoso
whom tho war has hit tho hardest, circulat
ing libraries of millions of books hae boon
sent broadcast for tho ontertnlnmcnt of tho
wounded nnd their children. Tho zemstvos
(rural nssoclatlons), pensants' nnd work
men's unions, the student bodies of universi
ties nnd other educntlonal institutions, high
nnd low, havo nil gladly and enthusiastically
offered their aid In tho hour of tho nntlon's
trial. And nil this has been done and Is be
ing done at this moment because of tho feel
ing that the suffering and sacrifices caused
by tho war aro in truth the birth pangs of a
new Russia.
Government Displeased
One of tho features of the national welfare
work to which tho authorities havo mado
particular objection Is the circulating li
braries, distributed by private educntlonal
and literary organizations In sympathy with
tho i evolutionary, constitutional nnd liberal
movements. They have tried to Interfere
with this In many wnys, but havo thus far
met with little success. In a certain place
tho censor, an Ignorant and potty Govern
ment official, confiscated a consignment of
books designed for dlstrlubtlon among the
homes of the community. Upon examina
tion the bookB proved to be nothing mora
"dangerous" than almanacs.
Books on political, economic and social
questions nra being widely circulated among
the soldiers of tho army, particularly among
the half million Russian prisoners In Ger
many and Austria. While it is true that
only a small proportion of the soldiers can
read these books, they havo no trouble In
getting at their contents through tho Rus
sian habit of one person reading to large
crowds.
It Is reported that at a recent session
of tha Duma, where a number of lib
eral members have entered Interpellations
aa to the probability of the enactment
of certain reforms, Mr. Maklakoff, tho Min
ister of the Interior, permitted himself tha
indiscretion ("indiscretion" they call it now
in Russia) of Bayinp that the old order will
remain as it Is. It took some very Insistent
apology on the part of M. Goremlkln, him
self a tool of reactionlsm, to calm the cry of
indignation that arose from the seats in
answer to M. Maklakoff's statement.
One thing Is quite clear. And that Is that
while prior to the outbreak of the war Rus.
sla stood on the brink of a great, country
wide strike of the Industrial proletariat,
doubtful as to Its outcome, the war has
Bproad a spirit of constructive cooperation
and creative social consciousness, the seeds
of which lay dormant in Russian soil, but tha

MEN OF THE MAYORALTY CAMPAIGN
Louis John Kolb, Who Financed Brumbaugh's Campaign for
Governor A Man of Many Business Interests and of Many
Interests Besides Business A Personal Sketch
By HERBERT
JVits is the second of the series of articles
OJ sco that big man over thero7"
JL remi
remarked Louis J Kolb to a friend ono
day about two years ago, as ho gazed with
a meditative nnd appreciative snillo at tho
largo form of Phlladel
phla's Superintendent
of Schools. "Well, you
can say, If you want to
bo a prophet, 'There
goes Martin G. Brum
baugh, tho next Gov
ernor of Pennsylva
nia.'" Today, when Kolb's
numo appears among
thoso of tho many citi
zens whoso "booms"
for tho mayoralty havo
boon duly launched, his
supporters aro natu
rally Inclined to mako
I.OL'IS J KOLU
the not unwarranted claim that his candi
dacy 13 something more than a purely local
matter
Kolb, they say, Is Identified with Brum
baugh not only In friendship, but In tho work
for social nnd Industrial efficiency and Jus
tice, which somehow or other has gained a
foothold in polltlcs-rlddcn Pennsylvania.
Kolb 1b known outside of Pennsylvania. Ho
Is, pcrlinps, tho "most national" figure, as far
ris having one's name known in many cities
Is concerned, In tho race for tho mayoralty.
And right hero It Is to tho point to say that
Brumbaugh, with his presidential "boom"
now fully developed and growing stronger
every day, holds that commanding position
over the field of Stnto and city politics which
goes with tho prestige of ono who some day
may havo great gifts to bestow on Repub
licans. With Brumbaugh In tho White House, they
would feel lucky who could go officesceklng
with words to this effect: "Mr. President, I
nm ono of tho men who made your old friend,
Louis Kolb, Mayor of Philadelphia Kolb,
who mado you Governor."
Tho Foe of Loan Sharks
Kolb financed Brumbaugh's campaign nnd
kept It separate from tho Republican Organi
zation's campaign. But It would be unfair to
both men to make too much of tho "practical"
results that often spring from friendship;
"for," said a friend of Kolb's, "I doubt that
he over talks politics with the Governor on
thoso Saturday golf matches of theirs I
know for a fact that ho has never asked the
Governor for a favor. He carries his sense
of fair play to a point of delicacy which few
men consider necessary.
"Just as a small example of this. Kolb is
president of tho Pennsylvania Loan Society,
the antl-loan-Bhark organization. The Idea is
to provide loans at fair Interest for Bmall
salarled men who otherwise would get Into
the hands of tho man-eaters who wring 33
and 40 per cent, interest out of the unlucky.
From the first Kolb was active In this re
form. Ho Interviewed many of the borrow
ers and gave lots of his time to a thing
which brought him nothing but tho satisfac
tion of his desire for fair play. At this ses
sion two loan Bhark bills were up; one was
shelved and the other was passed and is now
awaiting the signature of tho Governor. Yet
in all this affair, the outcome of which ha
watched with keen Interest because it af
fected his loan company, he never said a
word to the Governor about the subject. It
would be taking an unfair advantage, he
thought, If he used their friendship to seek
to change the course of legislation privately,
even In a good cause,"
Kolb is known all over the country because
of the many industries In which he Is a
leader. For Instance, there is the ovn.moi,.
ing business. His first interest In ovens was

served that the heat of old-fashioned ovens

sence. But his Idea Is not to depend on one
man, a carefully chosen superintendent. He
thinks that organization deponds on every
slnglo man employed. To mako 100 per cent,
efficiency you must havo 100 units of effi
ciency in his quaintly expressed motto.
That Is to say, there Is no way of knowing
whether a man who works with his hands or
a man who sits at a desk with a stenog
rapher within call Is tho moro Important to
an organized activity. If you are never to
know which of tho two is moro Important,
then tho only thing to do Is to take as much
pains to havo the best available man In tho
humblo Job nnd think of him aa equal In Im
portance to his superior in regard to tho suc
cess of tho wholo. Ono bad link breaks tho
chain, and tho smaller that link the stronger
It should be.
From "Bikes" to Bakeries
Ono of Kolb's activities Is the business of
wheels. Not thoso skyscraplng wheels on
which he used to perform In a manner that
mado him intercollegiate bicycle champion
while he was a student at the University of
Pennsylvania (he ' also became amateur
champion of America), thoso wheels five or
six feet in diameter, "with a little wheel on
behind." The wheels ho was later to ex
ploit are widely used on automobiles and
motor trucks.
But a man can often be sized up as well
In nn athletic as In a business accomplish
ment. There Is about the man every sign of
tho dazzling energy with which bicycle racers
seem to be endowed. It Is not hard to 1m-
nHnn TnlV. In .. l j .

conversation up to breakneck speed as If to
"get somewhere," and with an amazing de
greo of youthful enthusiasm. (He does not
look four-fifths of his 80 years.) Ho ex
presses his opinion without any considera
tion for his own political welfare, and In this
connection it must be said that he has tried
to get into tho race for Mayor the best ma
terial Philadelphia can produce. Ho acquired
nn Idea a year ngo that Alba Johnson would
mako a good Mayor, and as soon as ho saw
him told him ho ought to run. The head of
Baldwin's Informed him that ho was not eli

delphia. "I still think It's a pity that Johnson's not

other day.
It looks like the old. old story, of course.

about tho outcome, but In this case the can
