THE SHADOW DEEPETTB
TTTLTH n the talk of lonns and mors
VV loana, by Allies or by Oermany, tho fact
tands out that they aro counting on their
own financial rehabilitation after tho war
Is over by flooding this nation with their
cheap products and thus securing for them
selvesa share of the yellow flood which has
flowed to the United States. This country
la their appointed dumping ground and
American workmen and manufacturers their
appointed victims.
There hare been panics In this nation be
fre, and hard times, but there has never
been ouch a panto and there havo never been
such hard times as there will bo unless a
Republican President and a Republican Con
gress are elected In November of next year.
PHILADELPHIA'S CURSE
Men must have pubUo minds as well as
Salaries, or they will serve private ends at
publlo oosfc William Penn, in "Fruits of
Solitude."
TTTHEN the fonndor of this city put this
VV conclusion in his book of maxims he
was not writing for tho Phlladelphlans of
1816. But If he had had them In mind, ho
could not havo described more aptly the
conditions that have prevailed.
Philadelphia has been cursed for more
than fifty years by men with private minds
seeking to further private ends at publlo
cost. What the city needs In this year of
grace Is men with public consciences and
publlo minds who seek first tho publlo good.
When the men of that character hero do
their duty the era of contractor rule will
como to an end.
DUMBA DAMNS THE COURT
IN THE days of circuit riding lawyers,
tho attornoy, defeated because he had a
poor case, was In tho habit of going down
to the tavern after the adjournment of the
court and damning the Judge until the air
was bluo with his profanity. It harmed no
one and relieved his feelings.
Ambassador Dumba's letter to Secretary
Lansing resembles nothing bo much as the
Culminations of the defeated lawyer. He
knows that he has a bad case, and he thinks
to make It better by cursing the tribunal
that has decided against him. Undo Sam
la big enough and tolerant enough to let
the disgruntled diplomat, caught in a
grievous error, ease his feelings on the eve
of his departure and to permit him go In
peace.
NOT GOOD SPECIMENS
THERE has been no reason brought for
ward why Smith should bo elected Mayor
of Philadelphia except that he Is a Repub
lican. So are Porter and Potter. Thero Is
no question about the message Philadelphia
will send to the nation so far as Protection
is concerned. But Porter or Potter means
Protection and efficiency. Smith means
Protection with enough barnacles and other
parasitical animals attached thereto to
frighten off hordes of voters.
The only reason the nation has not a high
tariff now Is that a coterie of leaders in
sisted that the voters must swallow hem
lock along with it There are no gangs In
rural districts to "deliver" a vote, and the
rural districts determine a Presidential eleo
tlon. Mr. Wilson and other Democrats would
sot weep very long were Smith and the in
terests behind him presented to the nation
as specimens of triumphant Republicanism.
THERE IS TOE BATTLEGROUND
mHB Pttbuo LsDatn's authoritative survey
Xand poll of the State, show that 16 coun
ties may .safely bo counted as in favor of
the suffrage amendment. Twenty-eight coun
ties are opposed to it, while 23 are non
committal or doubtful.
The situation Is distinctly encouraging. A
convert to the cause Is seldom lost. The
movement Is perforce progressive, never
retrogressive; and this is so despite the fact
that apathy In some cases has made the
contrary appear to be true. Any county that
Is noncommittal is harvest ground. Even
the 28 counties which are against the amend
ment aro debatable territory, for there is
always the.chance that they may be won.
Thousands of voters will be converted to
the cause before November. The average
Mvn Is In favor of a square deal. As a
reasonable, creature he knows that It Is not
a square deal to deny women all partlclpa
U" la government, to herd them In a class
tarrMttfnselves, as If they were lepers, and
prevent fhe exercise by them of those ln
aitottable rights for which women, equally
wtth men, made sacrifice Jn blood and treas

showing the women where the chief battle

SHEEP, GOAT OR CITIZEN?
rPHE primary was Instituted to give
citizens tho opportunity to select their
own candidates. They can do so If they
want, or they can surrender tho franchise
In bulk and let leaders vote for them. That
Is their privilege.
We take it that the average (citizen does
not require anybody to tell him what he
ought to do. Naturo gavo him n brain and
the power to use It. He Is Just as capable of
making a decision as anybody elite Is. He
may like the boss system and think It Is
a good thing. He may, on the other hand,
consider democracy as a God-given institu
tion, a sacred inheritance handed down to
him by his forefathers, which he must pre
serve at ony cost. If so, there Is only one
thing for him to do, and that Is decide which
of the candidates Is best fitted to bo tho
Chief Executlvo of this city and vote for
him.
This newspaper has nb interest In fac
tional politics. It Is vitally interested in
seeing that this city gets the best govern
ment possible. It Is vitally interested In
seeing that ovcry dollar of tax money Is
honestly and efficiently expended. It Is
harnessed up to tho duty of presenting tho
facts as they are and turning tho limelight
of publicity on the political activities of tho
day.
It has performed that duty by exposing
tho method under which Smith was selected
as a candidate. The full facts are before
the electorate. No Republican and no
citizen can be in nny doubt about them.
Every man votes with his eyes open. Let
him put a llttlo conscionce as well as Judg
ment with his ballot in the box.
PROGRESSIVE WILMINGTON
EVERT visitor to Wilmington has been
Impressed by the ovldenco of prosperity.
Tho census of the manufactures in tho city,
the renult of which has been made 'public In
Washington, docs not disclose tho whole
truth, for It Is confined to the industries
within the city limits, but it shows a healthy
and satisfactory development In tho last flvo
years. The amount of capital Invested In
manufactures has increased from $38,500,000
in 1909 to 346,400,000 in 1914, a gain of moro
than 37,500,000. Tho valuo of tho goods
manufactured In the city has grown by moro
than 31,250,000, and the average incrcaso in
ooch factory has beon 323,000, or about 18.5
per cont. The figures show that business In
Delaware's largest city Is In the hands of
wide-awake business men.
THE IMPERILED FAMILY
CAN tho family survive tho attacks of the
forces working to destroy it? Thl3 ques
tion is behind tho investigation making
by the Social Service Commission of tho
Inter-Church Federation Into the causes for
the Increasing prevalence of dlvorco in this
city. It is important that the question
should be answered In tho afflrmatlvo, for
the Stato cannot do for the rearing of chil
dren what can bo done In a good old-fash-toned
home. Thoughtful observers, how
ever, have long been gravely concerned over
the delegation to outside Institutions of the
functions which used to bo performed by
the home. Religion, Instead of being taught
at the fireside. Is taught In the Sunday
school or not at all. The public schools are
asked to teach cooking and sewing, and tho
mysteries of life aro to be explained by
hired teachers in courses on sex hygiene,
instead of by tho fathers and mothers.
While this delegation of tho duties of tho
home to public teachers has been going on,
tho number of divorces has been increasing.
Tho nation was astounded a few years ago
at the discovery by the Census Bureau that
one out of about every four marriages
proved a falluro and was dissolved in the
courts. It Is well, therefore, that every one
interested in public and private morals and
In the preservation of the family for the
sake of the protection of tho purity of so
ciety should be concerned in the divorce
problem.
The first fact that confronts the Investi
gator of the subjeot here Is that practically
all of the divorce cases are heard before
masters and behind closed doors. This
practice has doubtless been responsible for
the growing number of divorces granted, and
it has also led persons seeking easy divorce
to acquire a residence here Instead of in
other States, until, outside of Pennsylvania,
this city has acquired the reputation of be
lng one of tho most agreeable communities
In tho United States in which to seek free
dom from galling marital bonds.
Reform of procedure will not cure the
divorce evil. Nothing but a fundamental re
form of undisciplined and selfish human
nature will effect a permanent Improve
ment. Doctor Dumba ought to tell it to the
Danes.
.
The first thing Bulgaria knows there
won't be any Bulgaria.
We may as well lend England the money.
Otherwise she will take it in meat.
Showing the women where they are weak
is naming territory that they will make
their citadels.
The trouble with some of the statesmen
urging unpreparedness is that they are suf
fering from the same thing themselves.
Germany's plan for annexing Belgium Is
all right, but General Joffre is likely to have
a say in the matter before it Is settled
finally.

SEPTEMBER DAYS
IN PHILADELPHIA
The Month Must Bo Reckoned ns One
of the Favorites of the- History
Mnkera Philadelphia "Na
tionalized" Long Ago
By CHARLES F. KINGSLEY
EVERT month has Its sharo In history,
past and present, but September offers
some especially Interesting anniversary
dates associated with tho names of tho State
and the city. Tho very beginning of Penn
sylvania goes back to that day In Beptember,
1670, when tho father of William Ponn died
and left the son a claim on tho British crown
for slxteon 'thousand pounds, F.lcvcn years
later Tcnn obtained from tho King, In lieu
of cash for the settlement of thlir debt, the
grant of tho land forming tho territory now
ocouplcd by tho greatest State In tho Union.
Jumping down the years to Revolutionary
times we find that tho First Continental
Congress assembled In rhlladelphla on Sep
tember 5. Lord Howo's campaign for tho
Delaware nnd the capture of Philadelphia
took place In September, 1777, beginning with
tho Battle of the Br.indywlne on September
11. Tho anniversary of this event was ap
propriately observed a week ago last Satur
day. Tho day after tho battlo Washington
marched from Chester to Philadelphia. , Ho
then marched out on tho Lancaster road to
fight again, but a storm came up and ruined
the ammunition of both armies. Lack of a
good Information scrvlco on the part of the
American forces enabled Howo to enter
Philadelphia on September 26 without an
other battlo. For tho BrltlBh tho following
winter was "tho gay winter." For tho ragged
Continental! It was tho winter of Valley
Forge.
A Great Task Well Performed
It was In September, 10 years later, that
the Constitutional Convention finished Its
task and tho "greatest work over struck off
at nny ono tlmo by tho mind nnd purpose
of man" as Gladstone onco described tho
product was ready for tho approval of tho
people. That was ono hundred and twenty
eight years ago last Friday.
Speaking of anniversaries, ono of tho most
significant to the present times Is tho one
that occurred yesterday. On September, 19,
1796 (Larned gives tho dato as Beptembor
17), Washington Issued his famous "Farewell
Address to tho American People." It was
published In tho Philadelphia Dally Adver
tiser. The retiring President, "first In war.
first In peace, first In thohcarts of his coun
trymen," spoko not only to his own day and
generation, but to nil tho generations that
ehould be born under tho Stars and Stripes,
and to all who should adopt Old Glory for
their flag to cherish nnd honor.
The burden of his mossago was an appeal
to loyalty to country, an appeal to Amer
icanism. "Bo united," he pleaded; "bo Amer
icans. Tho name which belongs to you. In
your national capacity, must exalt tho Just
pride of patriotism moro than nny appella
tion derived from local discriminations.
Bowaro of attacks, open or covert, upon the
Constitution. Bewaro of tho baneful effects
of pnrty spirit and of tho ruin to which Its
extremes must lead. Do not encourage party
spirit, but uso every effort to mltlgato and
assuage It. Keep the departments of gov
ernment separate, promoto education, cher
ish tho public credit, nvold debt Observe
Justice and good faith toward alt nations:
havo neither passionate hatreds nor pas
slonato attachments to nny, nnd bo Inde
pendent politically of all. In ono word, bo
n nation, bo Americans, and be true to
yourselves."
Ono cannot help thinking that the advice
of Polonlus npplles to nations:
To thin own arlf be true.
Ana It must follow oa the night the day.
Thou canat not then be false to any man.
It would seem, too, that If this nation is
in need of anything at tho present time it
is a rebirth of that Americanism of which
tho Father of our Country spoko.
Washington, on another occasion, said somo
pregnnnt things on the preservation of
America and Americanism, calling attention
to the necessity of preparedness for war.
Americanism and preparedness, as he viewed
them, are closely related. Ho thus concluded
a speech to Congress:
A Word of Warning
"I cannot rocomrriend to your notice meas
ures for tho fulfilment of our duties to tho
rest of tho world without again pressing
upon you tho necessity of placing ourselves
In a condition of complete defense, and of
exacting from them the fulfilment of their
duties toward us. Tho United States ought
not to Indulge a persuasion that, contrary
to the order of human events, they will
forever keep at a distance those painful ap
peals to arms with which the history of
every other nation abounds. There is a rank
due to tho United States among nations
which will be withheld. If not absolutely
lost, by the reputation of weakness. If we
deslro to avoid Insult wo must be able to
repel It; If we desire to secure peace, one
of the most powerful Instruments of our
rising prosperity, it must be known that
we are at all times ready for war."
Words that were true then. Words that
are true today. Oft-quoted words, but true
for all that.
Talk about "natlonaltzlpg Philadelphial"
Penn and Washington and many another did
that for us long ago.
However, they are men well worth remem
bering on the day of the September primar
ies, 1915. A city that fails at the polls to
live up to such traditions as Philadelphia
may cherish might as well hide Its light
under a bushel.
A PLEASANT CHANGE
President Sam of Haiti was murdered. The
United States has requested General Wot to
restore order. But Doctor Bobo, the Insurgent,
declines to be reconciled. Restful reading this
after a. year's struggle with European war
names. Cleveland Plain Dealer,
I FIND YOU
I find you in the wild, unpeopled Places,
Where, mile on mile, the heatherland unrolls I
Tou smile in simple upturned flower-faces
Which honest yellow sunlight aureoles)
The curlews crying on the windy moors,
The glad larks singing in the blue, have aouls
,Btar-cltar as yours 1
I find you In the forest, where the trees
Bend, dreaming, o'er the rlllet, seaward sped:
I see your graceful slenderneaa in these,
I feel your touoh in brown leaves softly shed
On wistful golden afternoons; and turn
To see the sweet curve of your down-bent head
In grass and fern.
I find you seat, Z think, beside the sea;
It breathes your very spirit fresh and clean.
Yet full of breath and light and mystery.
Deepness on deepness, hidden and unstenl
In the untrammaled tide you are expressed
So well and warmly! Sea and aky between,
I find you best.

A SOLDIER OF THE SOUL OF FRANCE
Irrepressible as a Boy and Grave as a Sage Is Le Blanc, Who
Commands a Big Gun Hidden in a Vosges Forest.
They Who Fall in Battle
By HENRY
By Special Arrangement
TTATT ml.t., nittn VtA n.nrila lt ttlQ
1 French Army for a week without finding
tho namo of Captain Le Blanc. Le Blanc,
you will understand, Is a mere handle which
discloses nothing. With a modesty which
ono would scarco credit, tho Fronch Insist on
nameless heroes. This Is tho one unbreak
ablo rulo for correspondents: "No names
will bo permitted."
Le Blanc which Isn't the name at all Is
tho son of a French general. When I first
saw him he was standing In the door of a
dug-out in tho heart of a Vosges forest, inex
pressibly surprised at flvo military motors
debouching correspondents on his threshold.
So Lo Blanc stood In his doorway and
looked us over; this Le Blanc who is the pet
of a brigade.
Ho woro the regulation blue, with high
boots of soft leather. On ono hip dangled a
pair of field glasses, and on tho other a re
volver. Pinned to his coat were three medals:
one for some bravo deed during this war,
another for Sudanese servlce,.and a third for
distinguished conduct in Africa. Tho medals
wero Very rusty.
Lo Blanc woro a black mustache twisted
up at the ends. His eyes had tho curious
effect of seeing three ways at once, and find
ing something amusing In each direction.
On his head was tho new steel helmet,
painted dull blue.
A Sense of Humor
Le Blanc, you may bo quite sure, missed
nothing. He saw, first, our clothes, then, a
bit fearfully, our camoras, and lastly, our
faces.
"Mes amis!" said Le Blano. And enfolded
us In his good nature.
Down the road, Lo Blanc had a battery hid
den. He was as proud of it as a boy with a
caged squirrel in tho back lot.
"Come!" ho said. "I will show you first
my best pet. It annoys them those ones out
yonder. Tou must never tell any one where
you found It." ,
He trudged off down a road between tall,
cool trees. Wo followed. He Jabbed the
sharp point of his stick Into the dirt at In
tervals of three feet, leaving a trail of little
craters behind him. At last he came to a
mossy bank, clambered up and pushed aside
the bushes. n
"Vollal" said Le Ulano.
It was a seven-polnt-five, with Its muzzle
hanging open hungrily and a long snout of
bluo steel thrust over tho edgo of a cliff.
Four of the crew, lying on tho grass, rose
quickly and saluted, Le Blano shouted an
order. A lieutenant came leaping from a
dug-out. He blew a whistle shrilly. Moro
men came springing into position beside the
gun. In a slow steady voice, the lieutenant
was reciting a list of numbers, and a soldier,
bent over, was twirling a dial
A man reached into a box filled with shells.
A second swept away the branches masking
the gun's nose, revealing, far below, a
smoky valley.
The lieutenant stopped his numbers. The
clicking stopped. Everything stopped.
There was an abrupt silence.
"Firel" shouted the lieutenant.
I saw a string suddenly Jerked. I stood on
my toes and opened my mouth, for once, at
Sandy Hook, I had been almost disjointed
by a concussion.
Nothing happened.
Lo Blano leaned up against a tree, chok
ing with mirth.
"Close your mouth," he said. "Ammunition
is -scarce."
' Le Blano has his own sense of humor.
Faces Toward the Enemy
He took us Into a trench, We chuckled at
his helmet, because the new French head
piece is not impressive, on Le Blano or any
one else.
"I observe your laughter," said Le Blanc
in English, walking ahead of us through the
trench. "I observe It. I cannot blame you.
T hav. hi,n In vmtv pnlfntM, T 1 al

head.
. But It'- nil ...
.. ...
Le Blano hurrying along, came to a soldier
who waa, taking a look oyer the trench para
pet. "Idiotl" said Le Blano, and boxed him on
the ear.
"My captain I" aald the soldier; as one who
tUrMM a 44ty,
AS USUAU
SUYDAM
With the Brooklyn Daily Eagle.
' Idiotl" repeated Lo Blanc.
"All Idiots!
But isn't it the bravo fellow 7"
In tho trench Le Blano beamed with
Pleasure. Ho explained, he expostulated, he
ragged his men, ho Joked with his officers,
he bullied and terrified his correspondents.
At last, at sunsot, he took us Into a ceme
tery, mado close to tho Fronch trenches on
a lovely hillside. Chiselled on a stone cross
with a bayonet point were these words: Ce
cldcrunt Fortes ln Proello: They fell bravely
ln battle.
The graves all faced the German trenches.
Tho first Interment was dated ln March.
New graves had been dug three or four times
a week ever since, until now there aro three
parallel lines, with the third lino lacking
two graves of completion.
Lo Blanc walked briskly through tho birch
gate. He faced us while we stood bare
headed. "These men, my brothers, died for France,"
he said, steadily. "Their soldiers' souls are
above us, showing us the way we must go.
They Ho with their faces toward tho enemy
as they died."
Outside the railings stood three soldiers
with cameras to snap their little captain as
he spoko so bravely of their fallen comrades.
I asked some of Lo Blanc's superiors about
him, for I had never seen a soldier anywhere,
of whatever rank, take so keen,' intense and
vivid enjoyment out of war.
Courage to Be Alone
Le Blanc, It seems, saw long service n
Africa. The African soldier, I was told is
a distinct type. Ho lives alono ln a tent,
sometimes in a wilderness. Ono cannot lm
nglne much formality between officer and
subordinate under such conditions. I can see
Le Blano thrusting his head from under his
tent-flap to bawl for food.
"Africa makes them independent," said the
Colonel. "It makes them dlsllko discipline.
Also, it makes them good soldiers. There's
Lo Blanc, for example."
There's Le Blano. I offer him, nameless as
he must remain, for what he Is worth as a
Fronch type. There are others like him. He
is as irrepressible as a youth, as grave aq a
sage. And he has the most difficult of all
forms of courage: the courage to be alone In
extreme danger.
We left Le Blano waving farewell to us
with his pet owl, solemn as a French come
dian, perched on a post beside his head.
Le Blano, who has always been a soldier,
as his father before him, has been to the
United States. He went there to leoture on
The Soul of France." Le Blano ought to
know.
