A DAY TO CELEBRATE
FOR the second time Columbus Day flnds
this country nn Isle of refugo from the
horrors of Btrlcken Europe. A yeiir ngo the
day was celebrated In simple fashion, ulth
a deep feeling of thanksgiving for peace.
The passing months havo made our peace
wore precious because they have brought us,
again and again, to the verge of war.
Today, under the threatening shadows of
international complications, with the tense
ness of our financial situation, with the Mexi
can muddle unsettled and a host of domestic
problems raising unhappy heads, there is
still some room for a quiet and heartfelt
rejoicing. It seems strange to bo grateful
to one who has been dead for centuries, for a
kindness unwittingly done. But gratitude
to the Providence which mysteriously ordered
theso things should not be hard to summon.
COMING FROM BEHIND
THE Phillies this year were In a strange
position. Virtually from tlio first week
of tho race they led tho league. On the ono
occasion when they wcro definitely ousted
they returned with a clean and decisive up
ward sweep.
So they luuo a new problem to solve In
the remaining games of the World's Series.
Thoy havo to come from behind. Philadel
phia, a little shaken by the overthrow of
Alexander, puts desperate confidence In Its
team. It must come back, even up and re
turn to Philadelphia to take the lead asaln.
FROM NOTHING TO BILLIONS
A HUNDRED yeora ago there was not a
single dollar deposited in savings banks
In America, for there were no such institu
tions IT'S first ono was founded In this
city in 1816. New York and Boston followed
the example of Philadelphia tho same year.
Plans are already under way for a cele
bration by tho American Bankers' Associa
tion of the centenary of the founding of
theso Institutions. No anniversary In more
worthy of public notice, for the Increase In
savings banks deposits for a hundred years
shows' how much of the wealth of the work
ers remains in their hands.
They had to their credit In the banks only
$1,188,000 in 1820, four years after tho oppor
tunity of putting their money at interest in
a safo place was offered to them. It was
not until 18S3 that their accumulations
amounted to a billion dollars. The second
billion was accumulated In the next fifteen
years. It took only eight years more for
them to pile up the third, flvo years sutflced
for the fourth and four years for the fifth
billion.
More than 11,000,000 of the peoplo have de
posits in theso savings banks, with an aver
age deposit of nearly $500 each.
THE SALOON AND THE MOVIES
CHICAOO, enjoying its lirst dry Sunday in
40-odd years, afforded an Interesting
spectacle to Its sister cities. Tho threaten
ings of the wets proved to bo mero rumblings
of summer thunder. There was no trouble.
On the other hand, tho anti-saloon element
was equally surprised. Chicago, deprived of
drink, did not go to church, as was antici
pated. Tho nearest the church came to
profiting by tho sudden drought was in the
increased attendance at Salvation Army serv
ices. Neither did the wide portals of learn
ing attract those who were once wont to
pass between the swinging doors of Bacchus.
Lectures and art museums were not popular.
The only institution that really displaced
the saloon was the moving picture house.
Rather than go outside tho city limits to
drink Chicago went around the corner to
the "movie." It found there, no doubt, some
vulgarity and somo cheap excitement. But
for the most part it found clean entertain
ment, and found it cheaply.
It has often been held that tho desire for
drink was only a perverted desire for some
good thin?. The movies in Chicago are a
case in point.

There has been a greater chango in Wash
Ington than in Mexico In tho Inst thirty
months. Washington has apparently learned
that tho only way to order across tho border
Is through tho operation of tho law of tho
survival of the fittest and that tho duty of
tho United' States Is to deal with tho sur
vivor. Any other course- would Involve
going down to Mexico with an armed forco
and doing tho governing oursolvos at tho
point of tho bayonet.
Now that Carranra Is to be treated ns

sary to enforce nn embargo on tho shipment
of arms to tho other fnctlono, and wo must
stand behind Carranwi, even with nn nrmed
force If ho should n,k us to nnslst him In
protecting the lives of American citizens
engaged In business thoro. Thoro is ns much
justification for such a course as there was
for sending troops to Pekln at tho tlmo of
the Boxer uprising.
THE TRANSIT PLEDGE
rpHE people of Philadelphia, men and
-'-women, havo determined that they will
have rapid transit. They do not proposo to
bo euchred out of It by "Davo" Lano or by
any of "Dave" Lane's creatures. They do
propose to put Into offlco friends of transit.
It is easy to determine who theso friends nro
among the candidates. It Is easy to find out
before, Instead of after, election what men
who aro asking tho suffrages of tho voters
Intend to do.
Tho Kveninq Lr.DOEn has prepared a series
of questions, which constitute a Transit
Pledge. Theso questions stnto tho situation
clearly and fairly. They havo In them no
spirit antagonistic to any corporation. On
the contrary, a feature of them, as It was a
feature of tho agreement made by Director
Taylor with tho P. R. T Is a broad recog
nition of tho rights "of Invested capital and
a guarantee by Philadelphia that no money
honestly Invested hero shall bo jeopardized
unduly by action of tho people. Tho pledge
seeks simply to bind candidates to tho pro
gram long sinco offered tho P. R. T. and by
it accepted. It is a fair program, as that
acceptance demonstrated fair allko to tho
company and to the people, and it must be
carried out.
Let every citizen ask his candidates how
they stand. Let Councllmcn be elected who
ore on record, about whom thero can be no
doubt whatever. Send Into Councils a ma
jority pledged to support the Taylor plan
without equivocation and thero will bo no
question whatever about an ultimate agree
ment for tho operation of the new lines on
a universal f-io transfer basis. The man
who pays o cents for a ride homo now can
makr ;t fa. B-cent rldq by taking the necessary
QTecautlons before casting his vote.
Tho Evening Ledoer feels that its duty
to the public demands that it emphasize the
danger to tho transit plan and warn all citi
zens. There Is no candidate who cannot
square himself on this Jssue by standing
courageously for the right. If "ho is not for
rapid transit, let him como out In the open
and say bo, that he may not be elected under
false pretenses.
Important as it Is that every candidate for
Councils pledge himself. It Is even more Im
portant that the candidates for Mayor do
likewise, and the candidates for City Solicitor.

Obviously to staid Continental eyes the

it is obviously unprepared for Invasion.

HEROES OF THE
"BLOODY ANGLE"
Veterans of the Philadelphia Bri
gade Revisit tho Battleground
to Join in Honoring Gen
eral Webb
By ELLIS RANDALL
mODAY the veterans of "the Bloody Anglo"
JL all that aro nblo of all that aro loft of
them stand onco again on tho old battle
ground, hallowed by what thoy nnd tholr
comrades did thoro. And 'tho world remem
bers what Lincoln said. Nolthor the words
of tho martyred President nor tho deeds of
tho heroes of Gettysburg shall bo forgotton,
and with tho dedication of a statue to Gen
eral Webb, whose "Philadelphia Brigade"
took tho brunt of Pickett's fierce onset, nn
addendum Is written In tho history of our
appreciation of tho men who In peace and
war have served their country well.
In Juno of 1S63 tho nation was nearer a
dissolution than It had over been before,
much nearer than wo llko to believe. Leo's
army, flushed with success, rested awhile.
Then tho commander moved on, hoping by
tho bold plan of Invading Pennsylvania not
only to defeat tho Federal army on North
ern soil and to threaten and perhaps capturo
Washington, but to secure tho recognition
and open support of Franco and England
and to bring tho war to a close. Then enmo
tho battle of Gettysburg, the most Important
and most hotly contested battlo of the long
conflict, between tho Federal Army of the
Potomac, numbering about 82,000 men, and
tho Confederate Army of Northern Virginia,
numbering about 73,000 men, under General
Lee.
And "when It was decided to renew the
battle on tho field of Gettysburg on July 3,
1SC3, the stakes of tho war game Included
all that there was of a cause on cither sldo."
So say tho historians. The greatest ar
tillery duel that had ever occurred was
fought that morning. A thousand shells a
minute wero launched upon their life-destroying
career. Then tho desperato decision
of Lee to hurl his strength upon the Fed
eral centre. Then tho gallant chargo of tho
14,000, advancing across a full mile of open
country In three columns, Pickett's 5000 form
ing tho mlddlo column In the faco of a
terrific hailstorm of shot and shell tho Con
federates advanced. They trampled down
tho advanco lines of tho Federal soldiers,
pushed on with diminished ranks, but un
diminished courage, and Epcnt their last
ounco of energy In tho hand-to-hand fight
at tho Bloody Angle, to bo driven back de
feated after ono of tho gallantest endeavors
of military history. Two-thirds of Pickett's
men were killed, wounded or captured.
In the thick of the fighting at tho crucial
point, both as to tlmo and place, of tho
three days' battlo was tho old Philadelphia
Brigade. Its commander was wounded while
lending his men. At the "Angle" he met tho
charge of Pickett's heroes. Subsequently ho
was uwarded by Gencial Meade a bronze
medal for "distinguished personal gallantry
on that ever memorable field." Webb was
a "fight mixer." Ho fought In many battles
and wns pretty sure to bo found In tho
hottest spot of all, regardless of where his
rank might require him to be.
General Mcado himself Is tho authority for
tho statement- that no officer on tho field
of Gettysburg was tho superior of General
Webb If his equal. Had his conception of
his duties been wrong for an Instant or had
his energy and determination wavered for
tho shortest space of time, the Federal lino
would havo been pierced Irrevocably and
history might have been far dliferent.
"His foresight was most remarkable," Gen
eral Meade said after the battle. ."He ad
vised things that were not done because it
was not thought likely or posstblo that things
would happen as he pointed out. We had
cause to regret In many Instances that we
had not taken his ndvlco as to tho conduct
of tho action In his section of the field. Ho
was head and shoulders over most of his
associates In rank."
Brcvetted Five Times
He was brevettcd major, U. S. A., July,
1863, for "gallant and meritorious services
at tho battlo of Gettysburg"; lieutenant
colonel, October, 1863, "for gallant and meri
torious services nt the battlo of Brlstoo Sta
tion"; colonel, May, 1864, "for gallant and
meritorious services at tho battlo of Spottsyl
vanla"; brigadier general, March, 1865, "for
gallant and meritorious services in the cam
paign terminating In tho surrender of tho
Insurgent army under General Robert E.
Leo"; major general, March 13, 1865, "for
gallant and meritorious services during tho
war." This Is a record far beyond the aver
ago of that mado by oven the bravest of
officers In the Civil War.
General Webb was ono of those distin
guished soldiers of the Civil War who wero
also accomplished In tho arts of peace. After
tho war and a long service in command of
tho First Sillltary District, he became pres
ident of the College of the City of New
York and lifted that Institution to a position
of great Influence. He came, however, of a
family of BOldlers. His father as a boy of
17 ran away from home to enter West Point,
Samuel Blatchley Webb, his grandfather,
of Wethersfleld, Conn., was a first lieutenant
of a Hartford company at the age of 22 and
fought at tho battle of Bunker Hill, falling
wounded at tho head of his men,

"IF THE
GERMAN BILL SMITHS AND OTHERS
Andy McGilligan Endangers His Reputation as an Optimist by
Discoursing on .Kultural Subjects and Expressing Fear
That America Will Lose Its Old "Canoe Philosophy"
By B. K.
MR. McGILLIGAN throw something of a
scare Into me the other evening. I
haven't got over It yet. He said:
"I tell you, I'm afraid of tho Germans."
And this from an invlnclblo optimist! I
snld to him:
"Surely you you don't expect them to
como this for!"
"I Burely do. They're here now. Not with
their guns, but with something mora deadly
their Ideas. That's where tho German Is
dangerous, with his Ideas.
Uselcssncss of Spies
"It's his everlasting pulling together. Tho
Individual German Bill Smith, especially
when ho wants to be nasty, makes mo laugh.
He needs a nurso when ho's out alone with
a foreign diplomat. As a spy ho doesn't
even spy out his own blunders. Those poor
follows who camo over hero and spent
$.!,000,000 a week to blow up powder mills
that arc Btlll making powder, to foment
strikes that ended In lovo feasts Lord, man,
they're tho colossal joko of history. We
ought to supply nn ofllclal guldo to every
one of their spies, in order that thoy mayn't
get lost. What havo their submarines ac
complished? For 40 years Germany has en
joyed a. thundering reputation. Well, Ger
man submarines havo not been puncturing
ships, they've been puncturing the German
reputation. Tho German army is tho big
gest industrial organization ever assembled.
For over a year It has been manufacturing
enemies. At that it's been a tremendous
success. Thero's tho pity about Germany.
She Isn't fighting her enemies, sho's fighting
herself.
English and French Bill Smiths
"Sho has been forcing tho other fellows
Into her own tricks. They'ro nil learning
that national organization that has made
Germany great. All tho Bill Smiths of Eng
land and Franco are learning to pull to
gether. And together they've got too many
Bill Smiths for Germany."
"Well,' said I, "seems to me that lets us
out. The German Bill Smiths seem to be
pretty well taken caro of."
"On tho battlefield, yes where," Bald Mr.
McGilligan scntentlously, ''the German la
least to bo feared. Yes, sir," he thundered,
seeing my incredulity. "For forty years the
German has been pluming himself on being
the devil of a fellow. He never saw that the
only man he could fight was himself. The
only place where he could grab tho sword
was tho sharp end. Tho mlnuto ho fired a
shot tho whole world was a Germany. He
should havo stuck fast to business. That's
where he was beating everybody, and had the
field to himself.
"And when he gets back to peace, bark
whero he's strong, hero he really Is tho devil
of a fellow, I'm going to be scared of the
German again. I'm scared of him now. I
ILLINOIS HAS NO "BLUE LAWS"
Whatever anyone's opinion of the motives, or
feurs or hopes for the effects, of Mayor Thomp
son's declaration that he will enforco Sunday
closing In the liquor trade, thero need bo no
apprehension of tho social strife that has arisen
In other States from revival of other laws
which had been regarded as "obsolete."
Illinois has no "blue laws," as the phrase Is
commonly understood, unless that solitary sec
tion penalizing liquor -vending on Sunday be
deemed cerulean. More than 70 years ago th"
people of Illllnols, through their lawmakers, ac
cepted tho doctrine that "the Sabbath I mado
for man, not man for tho Sabbath," What are
termed "blue laws" reverie this doctrine.
There are only about 10 mention of the word
"Sunday" In the law a of Illinois. Half of them
are In rules of legal procedure; another is In
the clause securing to convict in the State'
prison a day of ret; only four are in the crim
inal code. One of these la a time definition of
"Sundav." Another I the section which Mayor
Thompson ha latejy discovered it I hi duty
to enforce.
Two others penalize "labor (work of neces
sity and charity excepted), amusement or di
version" on Sunday which "dJaturba the peace
of any private family" or "disturb the peace
and good order of society.'! And the courts
have held that th disturbance, and not the
labor or amusement, I the essence of the of
fense. THE NATIONAL POINT OF VIEW
, National preparedness for dofenae Is looking
up. The thing to do is to keep up the good work.
Congress will not have to put It ear to tho

can see him In my mind's eye. He'll hustle
all tho harder because ho has so all-flred
much back business to make up. That's
where all tho German Bill Smiths will get to
gether with a will! What I'm afraid of Is
that If America wants to stay on tho map
she will havo to be an America of a hundred
million Bill Smiths.
"Jt sounds funny, but it Isn't!" Andy re
buked my laughter. "I tell you something
very big is happening In tho world. Some
thing that wo Americans haven't begun to
realize. I believe Bill Smith Is going to own
the world. The Gorman Bill Smith Is going
to teach all tho other Bill Smiths how to
do It. They'ro learning It now. in tho only
placo whero tho German Bill Smith could
over be made to bare the secrets of his trade
on tho battlefield. But they're learning tho
lesson, nil tho same. Tho Bill Smith from
England and France will never go homo the
samo BUI Smith again. Ho'll go back to
business with a smattering of German disci
pline, of the German pull-together.
"And we'll havo to become Bill Smiths if
we want to keep up with thorn. And I must
say," slghod Andy, "I don't want to bo a
Bill Smith. Do you know what it means to
bo a Bill Smith?" Andy sharply demanded
of me.
I said I did not.
"Paddle Your Own Canoe"
"Well, it's this way," said Andy. "The
guiding principle of an American is to pad
dle his own canoe. He likes to steer his
canoo wherever ho pleases. But the Ger
man Idea, tho Bill Smith idea, Is for every
man to be llko a member of an elght-oar
crow, pulling together, pulling like all the
other Bill Smiths. And when a whole na
tion adopts a philosophy llko that, what be
comes of tho man In the canoe? He gets
lost In tho race unless he hustles to jump
into a crew, a national crew, of his own.
And that's what I'm afraid of. I'm afraid
our good old comfortable go-as-you-plcaso
canoo philosophy has got a black eye.
"Maybo I'm wrong," Andy anticipated my
humbly intended remark. "Maybo we can
save our canoe idea. Somehow I don't be
llevo tho elght-oar crew idea fits into human
nature Otherwise Adam would never have
been kicked out of Eden. Tfie wholo secret
about Adam was that he was too tarnal lazy
for Eden. Tho Adam of today will stick to
a crow long enough to win any particular
raco. Then he hunts up a canoo for pleas
ure. Somehow I don't believe that German
organization could last forever even in Ger
many. Even the German is human. Tho
German crew would have got out of its
stroke, In time. Or winded, or something. I
hope that has happened already,
"I don't" Andy lighted a fresh cigar "I
don't want to live in Stuttgart. I want to
stay right here In llttlo old Philadelphia."
