IS THIS HARMONY?
SENATOR PENROSE Is to speak every
night this week until and Including Fri
day night In behalf of tho election of tho
"harmony" candidate for tho mayoralty.
But he Is not to speak In South Philadel
phia "because of strained relations" between
himself and tho Vares.
He also desires, so It Is said, to put his
own stamp upon Smith so that no one may
be under the Impression that the Vares havo
any Influence with Smith or any control over
him.
This la a beautiful "harmony" program and
ono which will naturally delight every
South Phlladelphlan who calls his soul his
own, and who has hoped vainly for the
manifestation of some qualities of real
leadership In the men who havo been speak
ing for them In the councils of the party.
A HOME FOR THE HOMELESS
ONE cannot look at the pictures of the
beautiful Masonic home at Elizabeth
town In the Illustrated section of tho Sun
day Public Ledger without almost wishing
that he were eligible to live thcro by reason
of ago and dependence or youth and need
of care.
The care which the Masonic order takes of
those entitled to Its protection is unsur
passed by that of any other organization,
whether religious or secular. The group of
buildings that the Grand l,odgo Is erecting
In Lancaster County bids fair to surpass
anything of the kind that has yet been seen
In this country.
ENGLAND TAKES HEART
JT IS a good sign for England that she
can take courage unto herself. Her pre
dicament Is unhappy. She has been unsuc
cessful In a great adventure, "somewhere on
Galllpoll," and she suffers disgraceful dis
sensions at homo. With her usual self-be-Itttling,
she has made her case worse than
It Is.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle bids her take
heart. He makes no foolish pretense that
things are "all right!" He doesn't with
confidence say "Carry on," as Connaught
was wont when things were going well; but
he denies that things are all wrong Ho
gives some hope, at least, for England's vic
tory. In so doing he adds a little hope for
England's character.
THE MARTYRS OF SUGAR
FORTY-FIVE medical students at the
University who are undergoing a sugar
test are pretty certain to have a good many
Jests flung at them. On the surface, at tho
first taste, aa It were, their labor Is trivial.
They are, absorbing sugar In the form of
glucose highballs, In lemonade. Old men
with gout will look upon the Intrepid 45
with something akin to envy and admiration,
with a terrible word of warning.
The scientific purpose in the investigation
which Dr. Taylor Is carrying on Is by no
means Insignificant. It has been an estab
lished method of diagnosing blindness on the
assumption that the brain-tumor causing the
defect made It possible for tho 'victim to
absorb more sugar than normal, because the
tumor and not the system took up tho sugar.
It Is this that Dr. Taylor proposes to dis
prove, by indicating what enormous quan
tities of sugar the healthy, tumorless human
being can absorb.
Establishing a "sugar Index" Is hardly so
appealing to the imagination as discovering
a. continent. But is has Its self-sacrifice and
a quaint humor to take the place of romance.
PEACE WILL BRING A TRADE CRISIS
WHILE the war lasts the American pro
ducer Is protected as effectively as
though the highest kind of a tariff kept out
the cheaply manufactured goods of Europe.
But tho war will end some day. The manu
facturer who would IJko to arrange for enlarging-
his output hesitates because he does
not know whether he Is to be subjected to
the competition of foreign good in the near
future. Tho Underwood tariff dees Hot pro
tect him properly. It was not Intended to
protect him at all, but was framed to bene
t the consumer under the mistaken notion
that tho consumer Is not a producer alio.
Wkon the war ends the demand for muni
Uom, which has given prosperity to a small
group of workmen and mlllowners hers, will

substitute a determination to meet n real
crisis for tholr present disposition to apply
academic theories to actual conditions. They
have already begun to talk of protecting
American trade and aro showing some faint
glimmerings of economic senkc. But tho
situation cannot be saved so long ns they
remain In power, for the reason that they
are only amateurs denting with a problem
that calls for tho ablest and most experi
enced experts capable ofVframlng a real pro
tective tariff law.
HOW ABOUT IT?
TT IS entirely possible that Mr. Smith, de-
splto his evasion of specific declarations
In tho matter of rapid transit, views with
favor tho construction of some now lines.
There Is no reason to suppose that McNlchol
and the Vares are opposed to getting as
many contracts ns possible, and with a
Mayor of their own In City Hall to award
contracts of their own making and of their
own Inspection, they would not bo likely to
let Smith block any proposed construction
work. So far so good.
But how ubout operation, Mr. Smith? You
and your political organs aro strangely
silent on that point. You talk about new
lines, but you say nothing about tho agree
ment for the operation of thoso lines. You
and your organs havo nothing to say about
universal flvo-cent fares and the elimination
of exchange tickets; that is, your organs
havo nothing to say on this point, but you
yourself, having been too busy In other
affairs to know anything about tho transit
problem In Philadelphia, aver that you can
promise nothing because you aro not sure
that a company could operate successfully
on a flvo-cont b.aslR. Perhaps It is a good
thing for Philadelphia, Mr. Smith, that you
never sat on tho Public Service Commission,
and surely It will bo n better thing If you
never sit as Mayor of Philadelphia. Tho
people want a man In City Hall who does
bellovo that live-cent fares are possible here,
Just as they exist. In fact, In virtually every
other largo city of the world.
Nobody Is in favor of rapid transit who
Is opposed to live-cent fares. Tho cnndl
dacy of Eight-Cent-Faro Smith Is un attack
on cheap transit. Just as It is perilous to
any kind of rapid transit Mr. Smith will
not sign tho transit pledge, for ho does not
like to pledge himself ahead of tlmo In pub
lic. Can it be that ho haB been equally
reticent In private and equally Independent?
PUBLIC SERVICE
IN ANNOUNCING his forthcoming resigna
tion as president of tho Board of Alder
men of New York city to Join the staff of a
morning paper George McAnony has written
these excellent words:
It Is to be my good fortune to exchange
one field of public service for another, and
my oppoituntttes for aiding tho cause of
good government will not bo abridged.
Unless a Journalist feels as Mr. McAnony
feels, his work Is a futile thing. Only be
cause tho newspaper Is In truth a public
service, compurablo to tho actual process of
government, is it a power In American life.
PRAISE FROM SIR HUBERT
EVERY ono who was In any way con
nected with the passage of tho new child
labor law, whether by voting for it in the
General Assembly, or urging Its adoption
upon the Legislature, must be gratified by
the characterization of it by H. E. Niles,
chairman of the Committee on Industrial
Education of the National Association of
Manufacturers.
Mr. Niles says the statute Is "In some
ways tho greatest and best educationally
for the working people that has been en
acted In tho United States." It was In
tended to bo such a law. The acts of other
States were studied and tho General As
sembly profited by the experience of other
communities and adapted their regulations
to the conditions that prevail here.
The manufacturers who objected to it wero
unduly disturbed. It Is possible to adjust
the work and tho hours In any Institution
to tho strength of the children who musv
work there. And no employer would be so
Inhuman as to maintain that the exigencies
of his business are so great that they de
mand tho sacrifice of tho health of tho
young. As the employers havo examined
the now law thoy have discovered that It
will be much easier to conform to It than
they feared. It will involve some read
justments, but if they meet the situation in
a conciliatory mood and co-operate with the
authorities whose duty it is to enforce it
there will be little or no friction. The law
does not go Into effect until January 1, but
some industries have already made the
necessary adjustments. Within a year every
thing ought to be running smoothly and
the judgment of Mr. Niles will then be vindi
cated. Tho Children's Hospital fund ts growing
slowly but surely,
Carranza pledges foreigners' safety. Is Mr.
Villa also a foreigner?

THE world Is full of n number of move
ments, social, cconomlo nnd what not;
and tho men who do most to holp them

cngnged on tho publicity end of tho work,
tho preachers; but
often thoy nro the
busy practitioners,
tho men who exert
tho age-old lnfluenco

Down In Washing
ton, In tho naval
service, thcro Is at
least ono civilian
who is doing won
ders to make that
service a smooth
running machine. It
would be hotter to
say that he Is a real
navy man with a
civilian training tor
his job, His name Is
Rear Admiral Me
Gowan, Paymaster
REAR ADMIRAL
McOOWAN.
General of tho Navy, otherwise known to his
subordinates, when the boss Isn't nround,
as "Sammy." That Is, thoy like him
He worked his way through college and
law school by running a brickyard, and,
at another period, soiling tickets at a
railway station. Then he became a news
paper man. In 1S94 he received an ap
pointment In the pdy corps .of tho navy.
Ho Is n young-looking man, 45 years
old. Twenty years In tho service and still
a civilian? Within the bureau of which ho
has charge ho Is addressed always ns "Mis
ter McGowan." His Is n business Job. That
Is ono reason. And the other, he is tho sworn
foo of bureaucratic aristocracy, with all Its
pride and Jealousy over titles.
In tho Bureau of Supplies and Accounts
he has effected many changes In the last
year. These changes aro too numerous to
mention; but It Is cufnclent to say that cor
porations, municipal and business, are com
ing to Mr. McGowan's bureau to take lessons
In the science of efficient management.
Surely this Is gratifying to people who know
something of tho waste in expenditures on
tho army and navy. Tho bureau is the busi
ness ofllce of the navy Also it Is the butch
er, tho baker, the tailor nnd the grocer
of the navy. It saves Jack's money for him,
and tho savings bank which It operates has
deposits aggregating several hundred thou
sand dollars. It runs great clothing fac
tories in Its own name, and. besides, Is one
of tho greatest purchasing agencies in the
country Mr. McGowan Is somewhat given
to making epigrams in his oral and written
Instructions to the force. "Make It bureau
with a small b' and Navy with a big 'N,' "
Is ono of the Ideas behind his reforms.
Stopping Meaningless Letter-writing
It is an Interesting fact that letter-writing
In tho bureau has been reduced to the Irre
ducible minimum. Promiscuous letter-writing
has stopped. The true bureaucrat dearly
loves to write letters. Ho thinks he is at his
best when ho is writing letters for tho chief
to sign, division heads dictating many of tho
letters which take the bureau chief's signa
ture. It gratifies tho soul of tho bureaucrat
to grow arrogant ond sarcastic In such dic
tation. Nothing of that sort is tolerated by
Admiral McGowan. Ho insisted that letter
writing bo reduced to a minimum and that
nothing unkind or contentious be put Into a
letter, especially to nnother co-ordlnato bu
reau. After his first general remarks on the
subject he followed it up with an "intra
bureau order," beginning:
Don't write at all unless you have some
thing to say; and. having said it, stop.
And ending as follows:
Don't write anything that has the least
pemblanco of Inflicting a punishment or of
encroaching In any other way on the proper
prerogatives of any other bureau or office.
The legitimate function of this particular
bureau Is to supply the fleet and to account
therefor; and any attempt at aggressive ex
pansion must of necessity have tho effect
of crippling our work, and to that extent
weakening the navy, It being a fact beyond
dispute that if we mind our own business
there Is plenty of It to take up all our time.
Another efficiency expert can be found
out In Dayton running a town. He is
H. M. Waite. The work ho Is doing as city
manager Is being watched with Interest all
over the country, and would be watched with
Interest In Europe If Europe hadn't too many
other things to think about Just now. What
kind of man is he? Not of the "good-fellow"
type found among politicians. No savoir
faire. Lean and sharp-eyed, he deals with
his visitors courteously; but, tn business
hours, dismisses them as soon as they are
through talking business, and while they are
In the office keeps them on the business
track. He is no "mixer." Ho looks and acts
like a man who has a big engineering Job
on hand and that's what he Is, a civil en
gineer. Tale of a Phonograph
Still another man of the Middle West,
also engaged in tho promotion of efficiency,
Is Robert W. Campbell, attorney of tho Illi
nois Steel Company nnd former president of
the National Safety Council. He Is, it may
be added, a son-in-law of Judge Gary, of the
United States Steel Corporation. The "safety-first"
movement, In which he Is so nctlve,
appeals to him as being closely related to
the development of good feeling and co
operation between employers and employes.
He has helped apply its principles In the
businesses with which he is himself con
nected and has added preaching to practice.
And thereby hangs a story of a phono
graph. Mr. Campbell was doubtful of his
ability to put the facts clearly and effect
ively before the people he wanted to reach.
(And a lawyer, too think of that!) At any
rate, he bought a phonograph and took It
home with him for a speclflo purpose.
Night after night he followed out that
purpose, talking into the mouthpiece . and
then reversing the mechanism. He carefully
listened to everything he had to say an1
considered how he had said it. If there
seemed to be In the talk any note that would
jar on any class of hearers that he Intended
later to address face to face, he made a new
record. This method of revision he kept
up until he was sure he had acquired the
ability of saying hie my on the mibject of
"Safety First" In a manner that would help
gain confidence in the mrttor. P.D.P.

SONG-LIFE OF THE HIGHLANDERS
In the Ballads of the Southern Highlands "Charlie" is Still the
"Bonnie Prince" Many of Them Celebrate Local Feuds
or Mine Disasters The Old and the New
By WALTER PRICHARD EATON
IT WAS not until 1882, when Professor
Child began tho publication of his great
collection of Scottish and English ballads,
that tho mass of people know much aVout
the treasure house of popular poetry In tho
Southern Highlands. Few people know tho
tunes to this day. But we all began soon
after Professor Child led the way to take
an interest lri tho ballad poetry and to
thrill to Its suggestions of a vanished gener
ation. None of us knew, however, that these
songs were still being sung, not in England,
not in Scotland only, but on a much more
extended scale right In our own Southern
Appalachians. Those who did know were the
fow educated people who had penetrated the
mountain retreats. They began to collect tho
American versions of tho old ballads, aston
ished by tho fact that words and music had
been handed down for moro than a century
by oral tradition, sometimes almost exactly
as they had been brought originally from
England, again by memory alone. There
wero also a large number of local origin,
celebrating feuds, mine disasters, and so on
in shbrt, coming to birth exactly as their
prototypes did in the British Isles genera
tions ago.
All the writers on the subject, William
Asplnwall Bradley Included, seem to find
it remarkable that these ancient ballads
have persisted solely by oral tradition
down into tho 20th century. Of course,
in a way, it is remarkable and romantic.
But, after all, how many songs do persist
unwritten right In the heart of civilization!
Most children never read "London Bridge
Is Falling Down." I'm sure I never read
It nor saw the music for it. There is
a whole collection of children's game-songs
which aro perpetuated almost entirely by'
oral tradition or were before the kinder
gartens came. There Is also a genuine bor
der ballad, preserved by Child, and also ex
istent in some form or other In almost every
European language, which most boys sing
at a certain age In their development. No
body reads It to them, for very obvious rea
sons. In fact, the verses Child dares print
are not the ones moBt gleefully sung. Doubt
less the text has been frightfully corrupted,
but the plot remains intact, nnd probably
the tune. It Is Invariably taught to boys by
the next older set of boys. Tho village horse
sheds used to be tho popular place for ren
dering this bit of Elizabethan obscenity In
my boyhood. There is a perfect example of
the oral persistence of a genuine old ballad,
not In the Southern Highlands, but In the
centre of civilized New England, and I fancy
all over America.
Allurement in Mountain Recesses
However, nowhere else are tho old ballads
a part of tho genuine song life of the people
as In the Southern Highlands, and nowhero
else can- the student of these ballads and
the lover of folksong find so rich, so quaint,
so alluring a field of study. These Highland
ers are not spoiled yet, though they probably
will be In time. Public schools and newspa
pers aro the great foes of oral traditions,
and both nre slowly Invading the mountain
recesses of the Southern Appalachians,
I was In the Cumberlands of East Tennes
see this spring, however, and I fountl within
five miles of Sewanee people living under
exactly the same conditions sometimes In
the same log cabins that their forefathers
knew 100 years ago, when they pressed on
west over the laurel-Impeded cols of the Blue
Ridge and the Great Smokies, to get farther
away from the bonds of civilization. They
shoot with the same squirrel rifles (fitted
now for percussion caps). I met one moun
taineer whose rifle reached to his nose, and
he was six foot two In his stocking feet. It
has a record of 1B0 "bar," 'and even his
grandfather had lost count of the deer. Alas,
the bear and deer are scarce enough todayl
We have far more deer In Massachusetts. I
heard from the lips of these people Idioms
that Shakespeare used and times that pos
sibly Shakespeare sang. They have a num
ber of traditional folk dances which stem
directly back to "Merrle'Kngland," and their
songs about "Charlie" are many, alntost all
unmistakably referring to the"Bonnte Prince,
though they are quite unconscious of it.
X wish I could gtve example more of
thlr songs, but one. or two will have to suf
fice. Here Is the rst stans of one Burnt
by a young man, who had It from hie father.
It hi called, he said, "The Bachelor's Hall,"
and was taken down In Thumping Dick Hoi
low, Tenn., by a ewanee student. The tune
) a Ane, square-toed, slneine measure.
Pfnce laughing and talking st length X did keep
I reused the e4 Indy up out of her lep;
WHERE IGNORANCE IS BLISS-
&r8$i
She opened her eyes and there she dressed neat.
Saying, An Impudent fellow before me I see.
CHORUS.
And It's a hard time, boys.
Tho old lady finds ho came to ask her
daughter's hand, not hers, and sho is highly
Indignant.
You vllyun, you vilyun, you vllyun, says she,
You think that my daughter would step up be
fore me,
When I am so old and they are so young,
And they can get suitors and I can get none.
Sho has at him then, and this stanza soon
follows:
Since fighting and scratching at length I cams
clear,
I mounted my horse and away I did steer;
Tho blood did run down me, all down In a gore,
There never was a boy saw a broomstick before.
Ot course, he ends up by advising every
body to remain in bachelor's hall. Tho use
of the word "gore," as In this stanza, is a
common survival In theso ballads, and does
not apparently exist at all in tho common
speech.
A Song About Tom Moore
Another song, called "Tho Experience of
Tom Moore," narrates in tho first person
how ho married once, how his wife died, how
I went to the grave. Oh then,
I went to the grave. Oh then,
I went to the grave, and I could not behave,
To think I was single again.
But ho married another, and fared still
worse.
Sho beat me, she banged me. Oh then,
She beat me, she banged me. Oh then,
She beat me, she banged me, Bho swore she
would hang me,
I wish I was single again.
Tho tune for this is much better than the
usual musical comedy score, and certainly
the sentiment is familiar. But tho oak-shaded
retreats of Thumping Dick Hollow aro far
moro attractive a spot to listen in than the
Interior of a Broadway theatre Ono likes
to get one's traditional ballads In tho proper
setting.
