'A PROABIERICAN, IF YOU PLEASE
THOSE political neers who read tho futuro
t& Washington have decided that both
Republicans and Democrats are looking for
pro-German candidate for the Vice Presi
dency in the nzt election. It Is a regret
tably credible story.
If there 'are any good Americans lef. by
lection time they will speculate a little sadly
on th fate of their Republic They will won
der a little at tho casual way in which Amer
ctL has been thrown overboard. They may
even ask eome pointed questions when can
didates appear at the hustings.
If a pro-German candidate, why not a pro
QTurklah candldatel If tho Vice Prcsldonoy
is to toe thrown as a sop to pro-Germans
(most of whom are good Americans and
ask only for a neutral government), why
shouldn't the Postmaster Generalship be of
fered to the Belgians? Will tho madness stop
when all Europe Is represented, when a pro-Chlnese-Amerlcan
Is head of the army and
a pro-Brazilian Is Secretary of State?
Not many Germans In this country
would vote for a man because he was Ger
man first and American second. Thero are
a few, but they are not worth buying. There
Is a neutrality In politics as well as In
diplomacy.
THE CURSE OF INERTIA
A friend of mine who had heard of the
Florida "cracker," asked some one to point
out a cracker to him. The man replied,
"Well, If you see something off In the woods
that looks brown, like a stump, you will
know It Is either a stump or a cracker; It It
moves. It Is a stump." Woodrow Wilson.
THE curse of Philadelphia at this time Is
that thero are too many voters here with
the cracker typo of Intellect. Thoy are too
Indolent to think and when they do think
they are too timid to go to the polls and vote
as If they were free men with ambition to
deliver the community from the control of
those who have exploited It for their own
purposes for a generation. As William Penn
looks down from the City Hall tower he
sees men sleeping In the same old bed of
political indifference. The lamp posts are
animated in comparison.
SUBTLE FLATTERY OF WEALTII
rpHB many thousands who flit from place
A to place (and with a degree of comfort) In
the motor cars produced by Mr. Henry Ford,
of Detroit, will bo somewhat puzzled by the
persistence of Mr. Ford's anti-preparedness
mania. They will wonder that a mind so
capable of motor-making should be so In
capable of straight thinking. Let them tako
comfort. Their engines will not stall. Mr.
Ford Is only exhibiting the usual symptoms
of the great American vice, which Is opln
lonl tin.
The accepted American theory seems to be
that so soon as a man makes a million he
becomes a prophet of the millennium. When
he makes, as Mr. Ford's company has done,
the astounding total of 27,000,000 In 10
months, he has more honor than enough In
his own country, and tho American reporter
has marked him for his own. Because ho
has established a chain of "nothlng-over-11-ceBts"-stores
his opinion Is sought on the
validity of the Scriptures. The subtle flat
tery of being asked Is Irresistible, and al
most unconsciously the answer Is given. The
little devils of Irony dance a merry dance as
each new great man falls. Mr. Carnegie, an
authority on steel, Is quoted as a critic of
style. Mr. Rockefeller, who Is interested In
oil, is likely to be Interviewed on oil paint
ings. It is all, of course, another example of
money-worship In America. Lacking a tra
dition of culture or of authority, we still
struggle along with only a tradition of suc
cess to guide us. At that we are Ameri
cans. We ask our money kings to tell us
about philosophy and our financiers to tell
us about military strategy. But, aa Mr. Ford
has discovered, we don't always believe what
they' tell us.

lic affairs.
PROPER PLACE FOR A DRYDOCK
THE nows from Boston that work was be
gun yesterday on the new drydock ought
to stir tho Chamber of Commerce and the
Port Commissioners hero to renewed efforts
to get the proposed Government drydock
for this port.
Boston had five docks before work on tho
new one was started. Two of them are In
the Navy Yard and three aro privately
owned. Tho largest Is big enough to accom
modate a vessel only 725 feet long, the same
size as tho large dock at the League Island
yard. Tho new dock, built by the Port Com
mission and to be under public control, is
to bo 1200 feet long, 120 feet wldo with 35
feet of water on the sill at low tide. Thero
Is no dry dock In the world so large. Not
only has Boston had enterprise enough to
plan the dock, but her Port Commissioners
had Inltlattvo enough to go to Europe and
mako contracts for Its use with steamship
lines whoso ships were too big to dock any
where elso on the Atlantic coast.
Philadelphia has only three drydocks, two
of which are In tho Navy Yard, but It Is
the biggest shipbuilding centre on this con
tinent. It Is the one place In America whero
facilities for docking vessels should be the
best because it Is the one place whero facili
ties for building and repairing ships are
the greatest. If Congress were In tho con
trol of business men Instead of politicians
there would be no hesitation In selecting tho
League Island Navy Yard as the site for
the pew naval drydock. It will cost much
less here than at Newport News and the
use for It would be much greater. If one
or more of the new war ships now planned
are to be built here thero should bo a dock
big enough to meet tho growing demands of
the developed Government shipbuilding plant.
No argument Is needed to establish this prop
osition, for It Is self-evident.
We con have the drydock If the big men
of the city will only get busy and go after
it with the same energy that they display
in their private affairs.
DANGER IN THE TWILIGHT ZONE
THERE will bo general regret that Judge
Sulzberger could not find legal warrant
for convicting two book agents who misrep
resented the character of the work they were
selling. Ho said tho principal was "a skil
ful and dangerous liar, but not criminally
responsible."
The Judge must know the law, but the
rest of us have been under the impression
that there Is a statute forbidding misrepre
sentation, and providing proper penalties for
lis violation. It certainly applies to mer
chants who print fraudulent advertisements
and thereby attempt to deceive the public.
The book agents must have escaped In that
twilight zone which encircles all statutes en
acted to protect the Innocent and unsuspect
ing purchaser.
MINISTERS AS BUSINESS MEN
THERE Is high authority for the state
ment that the minister Is worthy of his
salary; but there Is nothing In Holy Writ
about his duty to organize the financial af
fairs of his church so as to keep It from
bankruptcy or himself from want through an
unpaid salary.
The secretary of tho Laymen's Missionary
Movement has announced that the men en
gaged In It are planning to show the min
isters "how to put their churches on a suc
cessful financial basts."
But why put It up to the ministers? Have
not the laymen some obligations In the
premises?
The minister Is supposed to be a spiritual
leader and teacher and not a business man.
He becomes pastor of a church composed of
men and women who ore supposed to believe
In the Importance of organized religious
work, but thoy too often neglect to attend
to the temporal affairs of the organization
and unload everything on tho minister.
The Laymen's Missionary Movement would
bring about a reform worth while if it could
Impress on all laymen the Importance of re
lieving the spiritual leaders of tho churches
of financial worry so that they might use
all their strength In spiritual leadership.
President Wilson is becoming quite expert
in laying cornerstones.

"ELECTED" JUDGE
AT THE PRIMARIES
Double Honor Conferred on a Phila-
dolphinn Who in Public nnd
Private la "There With
the Blarney"
By WILLIAM A. McGARRY
IT IS great to bo elected to ofllce, bul It's
much better not to have to wait till No
vcmber to be sure of It. Such Beems to bo the
situation of Joseph Patrick Rogers, who, ac
cording to the ofllclnl count of the votes cast
on tho non-partisan
ticket In the Septem
ber primaries, received
98,000 and odd votes, or
more than one-fourth
of the total cast for
the 14 candidates for
tho vacant Judgeships
In tho Court of Com
mon Pleas No. 2. Under
the provisions of tho
"more than BO per
cent, clause" of the
non-partisan primary
act, Mr. Rogers, if is
believed, Is already as
good as elected. From
brickyard to bench Is
his record for 29 years.
Lawyers and busi
ness men who havo
been associates of Mr
Rogers In courts and
clubs for the last dozen
years probably will find
It difficult to Stop call- JOSEPH p HOOEns.
Ing him "Joe." As "Joe Rogers" he Is In
stantly recognized as the "Lord High Inquisi
tor" of the famous Clover Club and former
master of hounds at tho Chester Valley Hunt
Club. He has an unusually happy faculty
for making friends, and Is Just tho man for
tho Informal position he holds In the Clover
Club. Tall, powerfully built, genial, he is
possessed of tho characteristic tcadv Irish
wit. Nearly every Phlladelphlan who has
hod the temerity to speak at the Clover
Club has felt Its sting.
An Early Start
The new Judge affords a singularly Inter
esting subject for the student of dual per
sonality. His club side and his court side
are In sharp contrast. For tho last eight
years Mr. Rogers has handled nil tho big
criminal cases for the Commonwealth In this
city as Assistant District Attorney. No
criminal lawyer In tho city likes to face him.
He has been especially successful In mur
der cases. At times, like every successful
prosecutor, ho has been accused of "bulldog"
methods, but even here, where the good law
yer forgets everything but the legal points
at Issue, he Is human. One Instance of this
was given in his summing up of the cele
brated Trost case, In which a woman was
convicted of murder In the first degree after
a desperate legal battle.
Ho was born at Tomaqua, Pa., on March
17, 1876 the Centennial year and St. Pat
rick's Day hence his middle name. His
father was a laborer. Tho family came to
this city when "Joe" was 7 years old. After
spending four years hustling bricks, "Joe"
found there were better chances of advance
ment elsewhere. He got a Job as a helper
on ono of John Wnnnmaker's delivery
wagons. A few years of this sufficed. His
next Job was a clerkship In an Asbury Park
hotel, whence he went to Enterprise, Fla.
Perhaps he took his inspiration from the
name of the town. At any rate, he learned
that ho needed something besides the
muscles developed in tho brickyard to got
along In the world, so he returned to this
city nnd took a course In a business school,
returning later to the hotel business In
Florida. At the age of 20 he was manager
of the Montezuma Hotel In that State.
In between his office hours while working
as a hotel clerk, ho had been developing
Into a bicycle racer. This sport was new
then, and he made good. He also made
money; but what is more to the point, he
saved it. At 21 ho settled permanently in
Philadelphia, registered at tho law school
from the office of Randall & Flaherty and
turned all his energy to study. Two years
after graduating from tho University he was
appointed an Assistant City Solicitor and
given work with the road Jury. It goes
without saying that thero was politics be
hind the appointment; but even his political
opponents are willing to admit that Rogers
never was given a Job ho couldn't hold on
sheer ability.
Diversions of a Popular Man
Mr. Rogers was tho organizer of the Broil
ers' Club and is a member of the Cricket
Club, the West Chester Hunt Club, the Hunt
ing Club, the Manufacturers' Club, Pen nnd
Pencil and various others, In addition to the
Clover. Ho gave up his position as master
of hounds at the Chester Valley Hunt Club
some time ago because he was getting too
heavy for hard riding, but he still follows
the hounds occasionally. His principal
hobby now Is swimming, at which he is an
expert. Ho manages to find time for a
plunge at the Athletic Club of Philadelphia
nearly every day. In his younger days he
played water polo.
Judgo Rogers Is exceedingly popular. He
Is well liked, especially by lawyers and
newspaper men; by tho former because he
has tho reputation of always playing fair,
and by the latter or the same reason and
also because In theiconduct of his cases he
never "plays to the grand stand," as some
lawyers do. He has an aggressive, compelling
manner In an emergency, but he succeeds
more often by ndroltness than by force, And
It ought to be added that he has even more
than tho usual share of the gift that legend
says comes from klssjng the Blarney Stone,

THE NEW PERSONALITY OF VIVIANI
French Premier, a Man of Incredible Eloquence, Has Received a
Vote of Confidence, Not Only in the War Policy of His
Government, but in Himself Also
By ROBERT
PROM that dramatic scene In the Cham
ber of Deputies, when the Government
received a rousing vote of confidence, Rene
Vlvlanl emerges the strongest man In France
today, as he has been through many trying
months. Strength
was not tho charac
teristic which stood
out In the public esti
mate of the eloquent
Premier when he
formed his Cabinet
In August of last
year. But there Is
one fact that has dis
tinguished him In all
his career, and that
Is the growth of his
personality. A won
derful personality It
had been shown to bo
a year ago, and when
wo picture his ap
pearance before tho
deputies to explain
PHEMIEn VIVIANI.
and refuse to explain
his war policy, we can only believe that now
It Is not less wonderful. It is hardly Btrange
that Vlvlanl, so equipped and fortified, has
done things that were generally believed to
be Impossible.
Vlvlanl was chosen for his present position
after two veteran politicians, Rlbot and Dou
morguo, had failed and Delcasso had declined
to try It, and It may be added that President
Polncare owes his political salvation to this
Frenchman with the Italian name and some
mixture of Florentine blood. Forthwith he
carried the day, against heavy odds, for the
three-year military service principle. And
then Vlvlanl formed the "wonder cabinet,"
which Included not only Rlbot and Dou
mergue, but Delcasso as well. If it was a
great feat to secure the services of Delcasse,
It was also a triumph to part with him with
out causing any kind of political squabble
worth mentioning. The Premier won the
united support of the Socialists, whom he
had alienated by his apostasy, and succeeded
In maintaining In the official family of
France a harmony that was hardly to be
expected, In the extraordinary circumstances,
In a country which has had sixty "govern
ments" since Sedan. And with a few care
fully chosen words and a few graceful ges
tures he calms an Incipient but concerted
opposition Into an attitude which Is ac
quiescent, If It Is nothing else.
It was a triumph of personality. It Is per
sonality that informs the Vlvlanl eloquence.
'Of the Premier It has been said that he can
achieve more In the Chamber of Deputies
by merely waving his hand than any other
politician could do through the most stupen
dous oration, but gesture Is not the whole
secret. Careful critics who have listened to
his speeches declare unreservedly that Vlvl
anl is the greatest living master of the
spoken word. Friends and enemies pay won
dering tribute to his copious and rich vocabu
lary. Then there's the voice a tremendous,
changing, harmonious, flowing voice, a voice
with tears in it, or a voice that seems to
bleed; a vplce that rushes like a tempest, or
RING AROUND THE ROSY
Chicago has a duly elected city government
substantially like all other noncommlsslon city
governments. It also has and long has had a
profound suspicion that this government cannot
be trusted; that. If given the opportunity, it will
graft on the public treasury by loading up the
payroll with heelers and handing out publlo
jobs In return for political services. Bo It has
an elaborate civil service law, designed to pre
vent the government from filling offices with
unlit men and to Insure appointments and pro
motions on merit.
Having this law, It will by no means trust
Its duly elected government to observe the law;
so Its sets up a civil service commission as a
sort of policeman or custodian to administer
the law In such a manner that the. government
cannot violate It.
In due time it conceives suspicions of Its
Civil service commission; so It organizes a non
official civil service reform M6cfalIori to watch
the civil service commission that watches the
government This nonofficlal association has
been complaining bitterly that the commission
disregards the civil service Jaw and, in fact,
accomplishes the very e(U it was supposed to
prevent.
Having a duly elected, duly representative
government; and k a law forbidding that
government to betray Its trusts and o aa
official commission to enforce the law p; and
d a nonofficlal association to see, that; the cpra
mission does not violate the taw ; the next step
should be e law forbidding the commission
to violate the law , and an QeWetal om.

suggests the lute or the harp. Then there's
the manner. It Is the charm of perfect cour
tesy. And then, both first and last, the per
sonality of Rene Vlvlanl.
Vlvlanl Is a genius who arrived late. Un
til he was 45 or so, his personality was, so
to speak, scattered. All at once It became
Integrated; all at once the man's character
took on a new maturity and solidity. His
fellow-countrymen noted the change but
could hardly believe It. The difference has
been convincingly plain only during the 14
months of tho great world war. It Is not
only the "Government" In which France
has voted confidence, but tho man, Vlvlanl,
of whom the country knew not, a year ago,
what to expect. Truly this remarkable man
found himself late, and cams late to his own.
Born in the north of Africa, he Is 52 years
old. His physique Is of tho heavy type
large shoulders, expansive waistline, full
hips. He has a protuberant noso and his
skin is swarthy. Grizzled hair crowns the
face. Instead of thundering indignation, he
flashes It with his eyes across the largest
hall. There is something, apparently, of
tho Spaniard in his grand deportment.
"A Practical Socialist"
He early took to the law and speedily be
came one of the leaders of the Paris bar.
Ho entered Parliament at the age of 21. In
his twenties he was a thorough Socialist,
and was easily one of the stars of the party.
Long before the public had heard of Brland,
it knew Vlvlanl. When In 1904 the United
Socialist party was formed. Its members
bound by international agreement not to ac
cept office In "bourgeois" governments, Vl
vlanl stayed outside. Jean Jaures accused
him of a turpitude only matched by that of
Lucifer himself. But It meant political suc
cess. Chief of all the charges preferred
against Vlvlanl by his enemies was that ho
was ready to sacrifice anything to his lust
for power, his craving for fame and for tho
applause of the multitudes. He defined his
socialism in terms that brought down on
his head tho bitterest epithets on which
Jaures could lay his hands. As an "Inde
pendent Socialist" ho was received into the
Clemenceau Cabinet, to be the first Minister
of Labor. He worked hard to place on tho
statute books some of the more feasible
promises of the socialistic program, and se
cured the passago of an act which gives 17 -000.000
men and women the right to a pen
sion at the age of 65. This event marked
the ndvent Into French law of the prin
ciples of State socialism. His political tajr
Is still "The Worklngman's Friend."
Vlvlanl has catholic tastes. Ho knows the
work of all the modern French painters,
poets and actors. His Judgment of it goes
rar to form contemporary opinion. Many an
artist and many a writer owo their publlo
recognition to the praise of Rene Vlvlanl
spoken generously when all the profeS8ional
critics were silent or unfavorable. Much has
been said, of course, about his antl-clericai-lsm,
because that Is part of his politics and
about his "irrellglon," but on this point he
replies that before the true Christian hi
