Using Smith as a Red Herring
THOMAS U. SMITH will not be Mayor of
"hlltdelphla. Thera in 110 good reason to
bpllevc that now he will even be tho candi
date of any responsible (mrty, or of any Im
portant faction of any party, lie Is to be a
Public Bervlcp Commissioner, with a good
salary to keep him satlsflcdi He may not be
peculiarly Utted for the Job, but It Is quite
certain that he Is moro fitted for It than ho
Is for the mayoralty.
It may tie, of course, that ho Is unobjec
tionable to the politicians. Bui what thd
people aro looking for in a Mayor, not a
puppet who can stio' that ho wu3 loyal to
1'onroBo and fair In his dealings with the
Vaicii. It Is no recommendation for a man
that ho boa no cnemleu among tho politicians
with whom he Is accustomed to associate.
A mail without enemies Is a man without tho
very .qualities most nooded In a Mayor.
Smith Is 11 good namo with which to keep
people gucaslnfc'. neyond that well, not even
tho Organization dare just now deal In

Victims of Sentimentality
IN tho Puulic I.EIHIEII there Is appearing
a remarkable series of articles depicting
conditions ih Mexico. The simple facts re
late n tragedy, tho more tragic because It Is
revealed that murder was Subsidized ;by our
Government, In effect; thnt tho leaders wo
supported were nqt patriots, but thieves;
that tn attempting to penalizo a Bet of politi
cal murderers In Mexico City wo extended
our protection and assistance to a coterie of
rriurdcrera-for-revcnuo:only in tho provinces,
tnaurnudors, rapists, Incendiaries and Igno
rant plrutcg, who have managed to destroy
nil government, to wroclc industry, and even
to corrupt the blood of an entire nation.
Our duty to restore peace In Mexico is
mater than ever. It may be that the
pacific appeals of the two Americas will
nave some effect. On tho other hand, the
madmen In control have bi;en too long un
checked to welcome Interference. It will bo
a miracle If out of the chaos ordor can be
brought without some sort of armed Inter
vention. Even for that tho American peo
ple are now prepared. They had been told
that they were helping Mexicans; they know
now that sentimentality, as a substitute for
statesmanship, was ruining It.
Mexicans have a right to freedom: they
have a right, tpo. to ordp. Both thoy will
g't, by our moral Influence, ' if ppsslblc;
otherwise by actlvo Intervention, under
taken by ourselves alone or by tho two
Americas in concert.
Let There Be Justice
r' IS not Incumbent on the women to show
that they aro entitled to the ballot: It Is
Incumbent, on their opponents to show that
the women are not entitled to It.
Half of the population has been singled
out and branded as Incompetent, not after
Investigation, but as a matter of course.
Even an Insane man is entitled to a luqapy
commission before he Is thrown into an
asylum. Tho assumption la that he Is sano.
He must bo proved Insane.
"Whon havo the women been given such a
chance? In New Zealand and some other
places, in all of which they have won the
verdict. "Who la there in Pannsylvpnla vyho
can prove them Incompetent? Not their em
ployers surely, not the sick who havo been
healed by wpmen physlelons, not those who
have seen the work of n woman artist at
Harrlsburg, not those who read dally the
work of women authors.
Let there be Justice In Pennsylvania.

marine, where tho most skilled and expert
opinion la necessary, no commission Is ap
pointed, no nava'l omcefs nrs asked to ex
press nn opinion, and the chief qualification
for the author of an Important bill seems to
be his ability to show that he was reared
on the prairies, that he never saw a ship
and Is so Unacquainted with marina condi
tions that he cannot lie accused of prejudice.
Congress, Immediately following the repeal
of the seamen's lnw, should appoint a com
mission of experts, as was done when n

Let experts, not experimentalists, show
tho Government tho way out.
Ueglnnlng of a New Era in Municipal
Progress
fTUlK Public 8crvlce Commission, acting In
Mhe best interests of the people of Phlla
delphla, promptly and unanimously has
l3sUcdtho necessary certificates of public
convenience preliminary to the beginning of
actual construction work.
Tho commission refused to countenance
tho protest that Philadelphia was a collec
tion of villages, destined to remain 11 collec
tion of villages for all time, and likewise
Ignored other objections na puerile In char
acter and a3 reckless In statements of fact.
Tho project has passed through the tor
tuous lane of rod tape. There remains no
bnirlor except a taxpayer's suit, which
brings forth legal objection!) which Director
Taylor anticipated, and which, there is every
iCaimn to bellove, are without substantial
merit. Certainly the best lawyers of tho
Commonwealth arc unacquainted with tho
proper methods of procedure If there Is any
flaw In tho legality of the program. More
over, the approval of tho Public Sorvicn
Commission has strengthened greatly the
city's position.
It is reasonably certain, therefore, that tho
obstructionists have been definitely defeated
and a new era of municipal development Is
at hand. The vlctury will encourage tho
public to go ahead, to compel other public
Improvements which too long havo been de
layed, and to Insist on tho achievement of
those other programs which are requisite If
the city is to attain the metropolitan great
ness to which It Is destined. Not only must
Philadelphia have the best transit facilities,
but it must havo tho best water-front facili
ties, and tho best housing, nnd tho best sew
erage system, and the best streets, and tho
bcit organizations for conserving the public
health and giving to childhood the proper
chance to develop into sturdy manhood.
Transit is the first great victory, tho fore
runner of tho others, which aro as certain
eventually as transit was and aa sure to be
productive of dividends In cash and other
wise. Let the dirt fly.
A Country of Sins und Sorrows
EVEN thoso who have no memory of the
great-hearted, gray-halred old woman
who many years ago in Philadelphia
stepped to the front of a stage to kiss a
speaker who had spoken of Russian freedom,
must have suffered as with a physical shock
from the news that Catharine Breshkovskaya,
tho "Babushka" of tho Russian Revolution,
has been sent to, the terrible outposts of the
Arctic by the nusslan authorities.
At tho age of 71. this Jndomltnhln nirt
woman Is In duress at Irkoutsk, Jealously
guarded by the authorities who have driven
her from home, have persecuted her In for
eign lands and against whom she has
brought a relentless and inspired war.
The promise of freedom which Russia holds
out, the expected autonomy of Poland, the
change from bureaucracy to a humane gov
ernment, all made contingent upon nusilon
success in tho field, are clouded over by this
fact. That the Government acts In self-defense
Is evident; that t must act with such
cruelty, such persecutlve violence, seems
doubtful to thoso not on tho scene. In the
midst of Russian defeats. In the gravest hour
of her destiny, this outrage only recalls that
she Is a land of sins as well as of sorrows,
Isn't it strange that German-American Is
usually pronounced with n German accent?

The Allies' Loader at the Darda

ger Opportunity Between
Wars a Writer of Poetry
By EDWARD R. HUSHNELL
ALMOST from the moment Turkey entered
the war of nations the feeling has been
Strong among military critics and students
Of the diplomatic situation that, if Germany
is to he beaten It will bo accomplished
through the, forcing
of flie Dardanelles
and the capture of
Constantinople. The
mah who crowns this
campaign with suc
cess Is bound to be
one of tho most con
spicuous heroes of
the whole war. Thnt
Is why Sir Ian Stand
Ish Montelth Uatnil
ton, who holds the
supreme command of
tho allied forces be
fore Constantinople,
Is Just now so Inter
esting a figure.
Tho Job uhlch con
fronts him Is enough
to try any man's
mettle. Not only
Hln IAN HAM
must his forces smash their way through a
naturally fortified strait, which bllstles with
the best fortifications and the most powerful
suns German Ingenuity can devise, but on
hind he must lead an army which contains
some repiesentatlvcs from nearly every nu
tlon now flghtlne on tho side of tho Allies.
Makes Friends of Enemies
To weld these nationalities Into one great
fighting force Is a Job for which Hamilton
is well fitted, because ho la one of the most
versatile of tho allied commanders. His ex
periences have been enough to make him ver
satile, even If he were not by nature. Hamil
ton possesses tho faculty of getting along
with men, because he Is a likable man him
self. As a youth he won tho heart of Lord
Roberts, and ho captivated oven tho Boer
leader, General Joulicrt. Lord Kitchener,
autocratic nnd dictatorial, ho got along with
splendidly. Perhaps theso qualities were re
sponsible for his nelcctlon to lead the allied
troops In the Turkish campaign. From the
moment ho took charge he had no friction
with tho French leader, General l'Amndc,
who could not work with General French on
tho western front. Ab 11 young man ho won
the heart of tho German General Dammcrs,
and later tho Kaiser himself bestowed on
him tho Prussian Order of the Red Eagle.
Only a few years ago tho Czar broke all
precedent by permitting General Hamilton
to view tho maneuvers of tho Russian army,
11 privilege heretofore restricted to tho French
officers. To nil theso distinctions General
Hamilton adds that of literature, for he 13 a
poet and author. A few years ago ho pub
lished two volumes of ballads and three
books of prose, the latter dealing with mili
tary topics.
It seems almost Imperative that a general
shnll have passed his sixtieth year to qualify
for an Important post In this wur. General
Hamilton Is 62 yenrs of age. He was born
lit Corfu, which now belongs to Greece. Tnen
It belonged to Turkey. At tho time Hamilton
wns born his father. Colonel Christian Mon
telth Hamilton, was fighting for England
In the Crimean War.
"The Musketry Maniac"
His first tnste of actual battle ho received
when ho went to India with Loid Roberta
to participate in tho Afghan war. In this
campaign they called him the "musketry
maniac." That was because he placed so
much emphasis on musket and bayonet prac
tice. It was while ho was serving In tho
Burmah campaign of 1884 thnt Hamilton
displayed so much Initiative In musketry
that the British Government, offered him a
high command In India, with n salary of
$15,000. At the same time tho School of
Musketry at Hythe offered him a position as
Instructor at 5IO0O a year. He accepted the
latter because it gave him nn opportunity to
pursue his hobby. And It Is worthy of note
that In tho Itfst Boer war the soldiers who
were trained by him covered themselves
with glory for their marksmanship.
Hamilton's chief fame was acquired In the
last Boer war and with General Kitchener
In the latfter's East Afrlcun campaign.
Against tho Boers ho wns conspicuous for
his bravery. It was hero that his bravery
resulted in an Injury which kept him for six
months nn Invalid. Ho was in charge of a
picketing force which was attacked by Boers
In great numbers. Once Hamilton rushed
up tp General Sir George Colley, and tn his
Impetuous' manner said:
"Forgive my presumption, sir, but will you
let the Gordon Highlanders charge with the
bayonet?"
"It Is no presumption, young man," re
turned General Colley. "We'll let them
charge us; then we'll give them a volley and
a charge." ,
The Boers charged with an Invincible rush,
and General Colley himself was shot, "It was
Hamilton's misfortune to be shot through
the wr)st and to bo taken prisoner. Hamil
ton wore with much pride the Bword his
father had ownod. When ordered to surren
der It to the Boera he refused. It was lucky
for him that the Boer leader, General Jou
bertr arrived at that moment, When he
realized the situation he was so much Iro-i
pressed with tho courage of the wounded
Briton that he permitted him to keep the
aword, The withered fingers of one hand
Hamilton npw refers to as "m'y glorious de
fqrmlty from, Majuba." ' .
Divides Honors With K qf K. .
After the Boer war Hamilton went- to
India, und on hia return stopped at Sum.
Here he Joined Kitchener's army, then pre
paring to subdu,e the Soudan. He and .his
Gordon Highlanders fought with distinction
In this cainpalgn, and at its ewBju?jQn he
reelyl the "D. 8. O." In reeojsnltipn of )iis
ervlos. He became Chif of Staff under
Kltuhener, and, as with Lord Roberts be
fore, he divided honors with K. of K. after
the Sou4an war.

THE HIGH COST OF HUMAN NATURE
" " " " ii 1 1 1.
The Most Expensive Commodity on Earth Is Responsible for
High Taxes, for a Yearly Loss of $250,000,000 in Fires
and for Inverted Reforms
By B. K.
NO MATTER how men may disagree on
religion, politics or the orooer wnv of
driving a golf ball, there Is one topic on
which thoy are all In one accord. Taxes aro
too high.
But do you know why taxes are too high?
It Is because of human nature Just plain
human nature.
Human naturo IS tho most expensive com
modity on the face of tho earth. You will
bcllevo that when you havo stopped to think.
Do you know what would bo the average tax
rate to fix upon only one of the effects of
human nature If every man In tho world
uero absolutely honest? That Is, If every
man camo right out Ilutly nnd declared tho
real valuo of his taxable possessions? The
rate would be Just five mills J5 a thousand.
Instead of that It averages nearer $20 a thou
sand. That, (sccauso It Is Just plain human
nature for a man to shade down tho real
valuo of his earthly goods. He thinks he's
rather clever when ho gets away with It. It
seems to him that he's been protty smart
about shoving a little of the tax burden on
somo other fellow. But, unfortunately, that
Is every man's tendency. Somehow it Is hu
man naturo to want to squeeze down your
taxes all you can. Yet when everybody does
It the only effect Is to push taxes all tho
higher. Tho cost of running the community
or tho State Is always high or going higher
another effect of human naturo; and when
everybody tells the assessors ho has only
J10.000, when he really has twenty, tho tax
rate has to be high to raise the necessary
money for tho State or the community.
And why Is the cost of running tho Stato
going higher all tho tlmo? Because it Is hu
man nature a fine side of human nature
for every citizen to wont the State to build
new orphan asylums, new Insane asylums,
new hospitals, Institutions of every variety,
better roads, new boulevards. It Is human
nature In us that overlastlngly craves im
provement. We are properly proud to achieve
this Improvement. Tho only trouble is that
wo Beem to Improve everything except hu
man nature. - v
A Natural Exception
Because It Is human nature for some man
in the State's employ to give his brother-in-law
a fat contract instead of letting It out
to the lowest blder, we Btumblo and fall in
our very acts of Improvement.
Pennsylvania has ono of the finest bodies
of police In the world the Mounted Constab
ulary. The whole country la proud of It.
New York and Massachusetts are aching to
havo an exact copy of that superb organiza
tion, And yet It Is, when you think of It, un
fortunate that any State has to have such a
body of men. Wherever you go on the face
of the earth you will find elaborate police
systems to keep you In order. And yet, If
human naturo were only a little better, if Jt
were not so prone to steal and kill, think of
the policemen's wages that might be saved
and spent on things that would make life
far better.
If you think, this Is an extreme or fanciful
view, let's go back to simpler Illustrations.
It is calculated that every year we burn up
about J250.O0O.000 worth of property. Most of
the fires that cause that huge los are pre
ventable. Still Jt Is In human nature for us
all to be- careless wth matches and ciga
rettes. And so human nature costs us ?250,r
000.000 a year In fires alone. Nay, H cost
us more besides. No prudent man would
think of owning a piece of property without
having It Insured. He may own that prop
erty all ha life, all tho while paying good
Insurance money on It, without having the
. misfortune of a flre. In reality he baa nqt
been Insuring himself against flre: he has
been insuring himself against human nature,
his own and somebody else'3. But only think
of the huge sums wo should have to blow
on more amusing and Improyln things than
flrf Insurance. If human nature were good
enough, let us say, so that we. oould halve
the Insurance bill! That la not too great a
4een of (wrfcejjoq to demand of human
nature, erU!nly.
Too Slow to Suit
Just new State after. State U trying to
Unoek out rum by one or the other stringent
measure, of proWWtion. W that really

SO BAD FOR A MAN OF
JJfihtfffm I i
LITTLE
saloon to
exist. If you aro after temper
ance you must go deeper than to knock out
the saloon; you must got after the propensity
to drink. But ngnln It la human nature In
us that makes us want things done In a
hurry, and so wo go for the saloon rather
thon for tho slow process of education that
Is necessary before wo can eradicate the
propensity to drink. That process Is too
slow to suit human nature.
Every now nnd then somo high-minded
philanthropist knocks down a row of dingy
tenements, and In their place builds a model
row of houses, fit for anybody to live In, with
plenty of bathrooms and with gernnlums In
ho windows. It is flno. We can't have too
many model tenements. And yet If tho pco
plo who occupy thoso tenements are not keyed
up geraniums and cleanliness thoy will
clthertflee your tenemonts or let tho gerani
ums die. It's human nature. Tho place where
you've got to begin building your modol
tenements l In tho minds and hearts of tho
poor. If you' don't begin there they won't
bo nblo to live up to your flno buildings.
Thoro Is another slow process of education
asking to be 'started. And, alas, It Is human
naturo to want things, especially reforms,
done In a hurry!
The economists have all kinds of explana
tions for tho high cost of living. Professor
Irving Fisher, of Yale, has written books to
prove that it is duo to the shrinking pur
chasing power of the dollar. He probably
knows all nbout tho subject. But thcro Is
ono very deep quantity that he has left out
of his nice calculations. And that quantity
Is human nature.
How to Make Living- Cheaper
It may well be that there Is too much gold
In the world. There may be so many gold
dollars that each dollar Is not so valuable
as if dollars were fewer and farther between.
Most of us have to tako on faith the theory
that there Is too much money In tho world.
Wo don't seo enough of It to believe what
tbe economists say. But there are other
things wo can see that aro partly responsible
for the high cost of living. Our grand
mothers were not ashamed to carry home un-
u- wieir arms a bag of crackers or a dozen
bananas. Our wives go downtown and order
a paper of pa sent home In a glided motor
delivery van. Tho paper of pins, if it is to
catch their eye, must be done up In a little
moro flouncy fashion than any other paper
of pins. We want highly paid Inspectors to
inauro us that every article of food we buy
la safe and pure. We demand that it be
packed in sanitary wrappages. Those wrap
pages must, as every merchant knows, be at
tractive to the eye. The merchant must
have clever people to, make those wrappers
attractive.
Well, all this is expensive. We call Jt clvl
llzatlon. But civilization costs money. In
reality the high cost of living la simply the
high cost of human nature.
You see what human nature is. Some of it
ThTZ BO,0Vo,me f lt ls ver'' veT d.
The thing to do la to make It all good. Don't
hlnk It can't be done. We have got the
L1'V.C!ety " Some hUKe ""Phonal
Slant, too big to reform. Nothing of the sort.
