WHO IS MY NEIGHBOR?
PERHATS the Christmas spirit was re
sponsible for It, but It mny have been
Just the common everyday spirit of human
ity that moved tho policemen sent out to
nrrcst a tailor on tho charge of larceny to
keep tho warrant In their pocket for awhile.
They found tho man's four little children
huddled under a blanket for warmth. Thero
was neither fire nor food In tho house nnd
had not been for twenty-four hours.
Tne officers of the law bought coal nnd
food, prepared a meal and saw the family
eat it. Then they did their duty, nnd took
the man to court. Ho was their neighbor. In
tho scriptural sense, beforo ho was a vio
lator of tho law.
Perhaps If some one else had discovered
that he was a neighbor beforo necessity
drove him to his petty offense ho might have
been saved tho notoriety thnt bus come to
him.
This Is a good month for tho well-to-do
to find out whether any of their neighbors
pre In similar need. There nre other suitable
months.
STOP MUNITION PLOTS
THE Government has assumed that ex
plosions in munitions factories and fires
In steel mills engaged In making war sup
plies arc not accidental. They hnvo been
tdo frequent and confined too closely to
plants dealing with the Allies for tho
theory of ehanco to be accepted. It may
have been merely a coincidence that on No
vember 10 there were disastrous fires In tho
Bethlehem Steel Company's work. In tho
Mldvnlc Steel and Ordnance Company's
plnnt nnd at the Eddystone works of the
Baldwin Locomntlvo Company, nnd tho next
day nt tho Koebling steel rope mill. But
when the llres occurred the Government
called on the State authorities for assist
ance in finding out the guilty nnd bring
ing them to punishment.
Tho Government hns lost no time, either,
in beginning nil Investigation into the ex
plosion nt the du Pont powder -mill. It Is
not satisfied with tho theory of accident
which has been given out. It Is douhtful
If the peoplo who profess to bcllevo that
theory arc satisfied with It. They nre
guarding .their mills as though they ex
pected attack, and they must continue so
to guard them.
Tho power of tho national Government to
enter n State nnil prosecute incendiaries Is
doubtful. Tho Government, however, has
power without nny new legislation to go
direct to tho suspected fountain head of
the conspiracy ngalnst legitimate American
Industry nnd to demnnd thnt the German
Government warn nil Its sympathizers
against waging war against tho Allies In
the neutrnl territory of America. A few
burning words by Secretary Lansing to von
Bernstorff might work wonders if he could
be convinced that tho Government meant
what it said.
PROTECTION THAT DOESN'T PROTECT
ENGINE Companies No, It nnd No. 23 went
to a Are In Passyunk nvenue yesterday
with rotten hose. When tho water wns
turned on tho hose attnehed to two engines
burst, and when the men tried to use the
chemical engine they found the pump out of
order.
If this had happened without warning
there would have been somo excuse for It:
but It has been notorious for months. If not
for years, that much of tho hose In the pos
session of tho Fire Department Is unfit for
use and la likely to give way at any tlmo.
It has been Impossible for the men In chargo
of the department to get tho money for the
new equipment needed.
Perhaps, after the first of the year the
powers that be will consent to the purchase
of now hose and Insure to tho city a Are pro
tection system fhat does not break down
wheti put to the test.
THE COLONEL'S UNWITTING WISDOM
Lt me emphatically point out that the
sympathy is useless unless It Is accompanied
with Indignation and that the Indignation Is
useless if It exhausts Itself In words. Instead
of taking shape In deeds. Colonel Hoosevelt,
in declining to be present at an Armenian
protest meeting.
THE Colonel, without Intending to, has
stated the case for American non-intervention
as welt as it could have been put by
any one. Instead of defending what the sen
timentalists might call American indiffer
ence, however, he I condemning- It, and he
extends his disapproval to the inaction of
the Administration In Mexico and Belgium,
Tlnj Mexican case stands by lUelf, because
Mexico la our neighbor and the Monroe Doc
trine places an obligation upon tho United
States to guarantee to the nations of Europe
iHune sort of protection for their nationals
4m. the country across Jhe Rio Grande,
Assuming an obligation to act In the case I
pf Belgium, and in tho matter of tbeAr
rnenlan, massacres, what could w do" that
would be effective? It Is perfectly tsafeSlo

Humanity hns been oulrageil In Armenia,
but not for tho first tlmo. It hns been out
rnRcd In Hussln rind In Hulgnrln, where tho
Jewn Imvo been mercilessly slauRhtcred In
times past. Hut no responsible statesman
that Is, no statesman with power to commit
tho United States Government to a course
of Interference hns advocated nrmed inter
vention to pttnlsh either nulfrnrlrt or Russia.
Every Instinct of chivalry Impelled to such
a course, but chivalry does not sit In the
seats of the powerful.
Chivalry also Impels us to Interfere by
force with the course of Germany In Hoi
Klutn. Hut hard common sense tells Us that
nny Interfcience by force would Involvo that
participation In the Kuropcan war which
every thoughtful American has been hoping
could be avoided.
We have a pretty large task at home with
out tnklntr on the burden of fighting the
battles of humanity abroad. We may con
tribute money for the relief of suffering, but
that Is about as for as wo can or should go.
If we should attempt more somo Irreverent
Europeans would surely remind us that we
would better stop lynchlngs In our own ter
ritory before we set out to purify the world.
WATCH YOUR MILLIONS
rp'tE mnd rush of the Orgnnlzntlon to put
- through n lonn of unparalleled size In
evitably raises doubts In tho minds of tax
payers. They are not forgetful of how their
money hns been squandered In tho pnst, nnd
they would like somo assurance that tho
now burden of debt will not result In swell
ing tho fortunes of a' few politicians, rnther
thnn In the achievement of necessary nnd
desirable public improvements.
Tho obstacles thrown In the wny of the
Ulnnkenburg Administration were long ngo
revealed as dilatory measures devised to
postpone expenditures, in order that a carni
val of spending might later bo Indulged In
by the elect. Tho tentntlvo proposals mnde,
nevertheless, ombrnco many Improvements
for which tho city has waited patiently and
which It Is resolved to get. Thirty millions
Is not too largo a sum for transit, partic
ularly us It Is legal to Issue the bonds only
as money Is needed. Authorization of a loan
docs not menn that It must be plnccd In
whole nt once. So, too, tho Parkway must
bo completed, owing to recent rulings of the
courts. The public Is heartily In favor of
expenditures for theso purposes.
There are, however, so many different un
dertakings to be considered that It would bo
folly of the worst sort to rush precipitately
Into n selection of them. The proposals
made, for Instance, contnln no mention of
sewage dlHposnl, one of the most Important
of nil things to tho city. There are other
evidences that tho present program Is half- '
baked and In need of serious revision before
It rnn bo accepted by the electorate.
In view of the very obvious desire of tho
Organization to get Its hands on the maxi
mum amounts possible, as quickly as pos
sible, tho selection by the Mnyor-olcct of his
Cabinet becomes more than ever Important.
If he surrounds himself with Varo and Mc
Nlchol straw men. It will bo equivalent to
an announcement that an orgy of graft and
extravngance is contemplated. If, on tho
other hnnd, tho Cabinet Is of such a char
acter as o Inspire confidence. If men with
nbllity to do other things than deliver votes
nre selected, the public will bo Inclined to
support tho Administration loyally. But tho
very slzo of the loan proposed. In Its orig
inal form, should bo n warning to Mr. Smith
thnt there nre Itching pnlms nhout, and only
tho exercise of extreme caution by him can
prevent four years of shamclessness nnd
dlsgrnce.
A FALSE NOTE
DETERMINED on originality nt any cost,
the French have gone to tho extent of
introducing a joft sweet note of friendship
Into the general chorus of hnte which now
Inspires the world. A week or so ngo wo
were informed on competent nuthorlty that
wo were tho most-hated peoplo on earth.
Germany and England were equally "agin
u," nnd It wns written In tho great book
that wo ought to go out Into the garden to
eat wormwood.
So It Is pleasant to seo that tho Journal
des Dobats, of Paris, has said a kind word
for all Americans who happen to be in
Franco Just now, with tho Implication that
even over hero somo Americans are a good
sort. The note Is off key Just now, but It Is
soothing to the ear.
WHY NOT ASK LA FOLLETTE?
TiiE Nebraska Republicans nre finding It
dlfllcult to get a satisfactory presidential
candidate to put on their preferential pri
mary ballot. Justice Hughes Insisted that
his name be withdrawn a few days ago, and
yesterday It was reported that Colonel
Hoosevelt had refubed to consent to nppear
on the ballot.
If they want to end their troubles they
should ask Senator La Folletto for permls
tdon to use his name. Not even ex-Senator
Stephenson, his one-time colleague nnd dear
est enemy, doubts that Pompadour Bob
would give his consent.

AT BREAKFAST tho other morning with
, Dr. J. H. Morgan, tho genial president
of Dickinson College, In tho quaint old town
of Cnrllslc, the delicious sausage under im
mediate discussion provoked much Interest
ing discourse upon the "ents" for which this
countryside has been famous j even from tho
time (1790) when the Row Dr. Nlsbet, Dick
inson's first president, wrote that he could
find In Carlisle "no distinction except wealth,
which few peoplo possess here, tho' many
llvo In luxury." It's a curious thing that
when men, growing talkative over the pleas
ures of tho table, begin to brag of tho nu
perlor excellence of tho larders of their
localities, tho food always mentioned ns of
particular merit is sure to be some sort
of pork product. It is usually sausago that
tho man of Chester, Lancaster, York,
Dauphin or Cumberland County speaks of
with moist lower lip. We have been nsked
to say which of these bucolic principalities
produces tho sausage do luxe, but wo de
cline to say. Wo have breakfasted In all
these places and wo hope to bo invited
again. Doctor Morgan the other morning
had a kind word to say for Perry County,
where somo years ago ho first experienced
tho unexpected delight of eating in mid
summer sausage preserved in lard from the
winter before. We hnd that same Joy this
last summer 'way up In Monroe County.
"Everybody, I think," said Doctor Morgan,
"will agree upon one point, and that Is that,
owing to the cosmopolitan character of
Pennsylvania's population from earliest
Colonial times, this State has enjoyed more
and better varieties of cookery than almost
any other In the Union. And it seems to
me our prominent citizens are much more
than properly boastful of it." Wo know a
man, who having heard a Superior Court Jus
tice bragging of his town's sausage, hap
pening to be In the Justice's town one day,
decided to buy some of the delicacy. Ho
stepped up to a market stall and said to
the farmer; "I'll have a pound of sausage,
please"; and he had the edge taken off his
appetite when the dealer said; "Yes, sir;
gut or ball?''

matic Engineering
IN Tl
stop;
'HE course of time vnrlous methods of
topping war hnvo been advocated. Mr.
Ford seems to believe that wnr can be
stopped by request. Others nre of opinion
that horror will do It. Common sense dis
poses of tho first proposition. History 13
ngalnst tho latter notion.
In tho intervals between wars, says Gcorgo
Brondes, "peoplo Imaglno that the world has
gone to rest nnd that wnrs from now on aro
Impossible. Because optimism Is considered
nccessnry in order to mnko life endurable,
wo think It Is the chief vlrtuo which gives
us courage nnd strength. Peoplo do not llko
to look truth In tho fnco. If wnr breaks out
In spite of nil our earlier denials of Its pos
sibility or Its probability, optimism comforts
tho fighting parties by assurances that this
war will bring In tho rule of righteousness
on earth and thus bo tho Inst of tho wars."
The Horrors of Peace
Tho pacifists and the militarists aro tho
extremists nnd seldom meet on n common
ground of nrgumont. Tho militarists, as
William James said, do not deny tho bestial
ity of war, nor Its horror, nor Its cost they
only say "that these things tell but half the
story." They only say "that tho wnr Is
worth them." And whllo tho pacifists nro
pointing to tho horrors of wnr tho militarists
aro pointing to tho horrors of pence.
So neither sldo makes converts among Its
opponents.
Militarism Is a state of mind nnd so Is
pacifism.
Every argument lends nowhere If It does
not lead to tho central point of William
James" "moral equivalent."
"In the more or less socialistic future to
ward which mankind seems drifting we must
still subject ourselves collectively to theso
severities which nnswer to our real position
upon this only partly hospitable globe. Wo
must make new energies nnd hardihoods con
tlnuo tho mnnllness to which tho mllltnry
mind so faithfully clings. Martial virtues
must be tho enduring cement: Intrepidity,
contempt of softness, surrender of prlvnto
Interest, obcdlenco to command, must still
remain tho rock upon which States aro
built."
But for drifting toward that bettor tlmo
wo must substitute mastery. For tho Fear
which animates the prearhors of militarism
and the preachers of pacifism wo must sub
stitute Love. For tho old habits of working
off tho spiritual energies of tho rncc wo must
substitute other habits. That Is .good psy
chology. The schemes of tho pacifist and the mili
tarist nre alike Utopian In spirit. Tho aim
Is social welfare.
William James points out the common
ground. But ho gives the moral equivalent
of war only a name, not a symbol. War has
Its symbolfsm, its pomp, Its spectacle, Its
flags, Its music, Its drums, Theso things
catch the Imagination: they are dramatic,
hypnotic. They visualize the Idealism of
wnr. What has peace for Its symbol? A
meek, anemic, unherolc dove. There Is no
appeal to the heroic In n dove. Must peaco
he content with an Important symbol? Must
tho moral equivalent lack tho Imaginative
appeal, tho dramatic force of war?
The existence of a "moral equivalent" is
not enough. The name, "social service" or
"civic honor," Is not enough. What then?
Why, tho Ineffectiveness of the fighting
armies of peace? First, says Percy MacKaye
in the North American Review, because they
are not properly organized, And second,
their functions are nt properly symbolized,
"To achieve these two great objects mu
tually related," continues this practical poet,
"may well become the function of a new
profession of the twentieth century the pro
fesslop of Civic Engineering. To
achieve the first object, organization, will
require the directive insight of one who may
aptly be called the Political Engineer: to
achieve tho second object, symbolism, will
require tho Dramatic Engineer,"
Mr, MacKaye illustrates the task and
method of Dramatic Engineering by a ref
erence to the "Pageant and Masque of St.
Louis." Ho says:
The task of that production, successfully
achieved by the co-opcratlon and participa
tion of a great modern community, was one
which truly Involved the art of the theatre
as an expert form of civic engineering. Dur
ing Its preparation, Its vast-scale activities
leavened the people with the moral equiva
lents of war; self-sacrlflce, solidarity, ener
gized will, militant devotion to a civic cause
these were truly attained nnd have partial
ly been retained during the months which
have followed.
These objects, moreover, were truly and
splendidly symbolized to the people by means
of the color, music, pageantry. drinstlc con
KAISER'S MISSION IN VIENNA
"if i, ' J
flict, nnd nrchltcctural hnrmony created by
the many-sided art of tho theatre thero put
to civic uses.
Tho themo Itself of tho Masque the social
ization of community life was expressed not
by a superimposed Bhow, but by the dramatlo
revelation of a reality it had helped to
create; nn actual regeneration of com
munity life, from which hnvo directly
resulted as practical acquisitions to St.
Louis a new progressive city charter, tho
completion of a municipal bridge, a city
choral society and tho hopeful nssuranco of
a great outdoor theatre of the people In their
public park.
The Force of Symbolism
Tho experiment might well bo emulated
elsewhere. It might oven bo nationalized.
Tho conditions against which tho fighting
armies of peaco arc ranged nro as sordid,
ns petty, ns selfish, as tho conditions of wnr.
"Industrialism," writes Mr. MacKayo, "Is so
contaminated by suffering, disease, injustice,
ugliness, ennui, death, hatred and dulled de
spair thnt to millions of laborers tho condi
tions of wnr seem hopeful nnd visionary In
comparison."
Tho nrmlcs of peace must bo nrmed with
tho symbol of the sword,
Their task is the tusk of militant Chris
tianity. The founder of tho Christian re
ligion brought, not pacifism, but a sword
not a sword of steel, but a symbolic sword.
Ho henlcd the sick, cast out dovlls, drove tho
monoy-changers from the temple, taught so
cial service. Ho promised His followers thnt
they would have no easy time of It If they
practiced Ills preaching nnd ndopted His ex
ample. He spoko In symbols. Ho gave His
llfo for a symbol. Social service nnd dra
matic engineering go together,
Tho Prince of Pcnco revealed to the world
tho moral equivalent of wnr. Tho world has
left It to tho war lords to practico tho psy
chology of symbolism. F.
SPAIN HONORS CERVERA
The oilier day Cervera's remains were sepul

ment with this Inscription: "Hero rest, in this

who never nt any time failed to see the slosy

and who have never failed In paying due honor
to the living man, nnd the dead man's memory,
feel n satisfaction at this belated tribute, fiom
his own country, to one who wrote a glorious
page In Its history In making a hopeless .acrl
flce of which tho disastrous end still Justified the
heroic nte.ins. It can now be said that had
Cervern failed in doing thnt very thing for
which he was onco the most condemned In
