DRIVE OUT THE INCENDIARIES
IT JIAY bo that tlto country Is not tilled
with a number of foreign spies bent on
incendiarism and ruin, but that there are a
lot of wild-eyed fanatics about is perfectly
obvious. This newspaper. In common with
many others, has received communications
from apparently ljmorant human beings who
ought to bo in insano asylums instead of at
large. Their contributions aro invariably
anonymous. Ono writes in to say that Pres
ident Wilson has been bribed by England.
Ho la typical of a class. These men havo a
confused idea of patriotism, their minds havo
boon unbalanced by events and they are
ready material for men of greater mental
power who havo malicious, purposes In vlow
and ore looking for pawns to do their awful
work.
This nation has been a Mecca for the op
pressed. It lias let in the ignorant and given
them a chance to learn. It has been lenient
In Its Immigration laws, offering to all equal
opportunities. Thousands, even millions, havo
como here and become rich. That In the
mass yet unasslmllated there should be many
degenerates is not remarkable; but It is
remarkable that the authorities havo been
bo lax in discovering and extirpating them.
There Is reason to believe that greater out
rages nro in store, more terrible horrors
planned, and the whole power of the Gov
ernment should ho expended In preserving
the peace of the country and driving from
it the incendiaries. There nro some trea
sonable publications which havo abused
free speech and reveled in license. Tho
mailed fist of authority should fall on them.
Wo havo had enough of treason, enough of
traitors, enough of spies and their miser
able activities. It becomes the solemn duty
of Congress to meet this unprecedented sit
uation by clothing tho Government with full
authority. There must bo no dilly-dallying,
no more playing with lire. It is time to
strike, and strike hard.
A USTRIA CHAFES
"XT' ALL. tho exnlanntlons offered from
EKr J partisan sources for dissension in tho
5 Austrian Cabinet, only ono shows a plauslhlo
Ij? Insight into tho general relations between
. .
Austria and Germany. Tho assumption tnat
a separato peace was desired hy Austria Iff
gratuitous, and tho portfolios vacated point
Instetently to an Internal solution of the
riddle.
The an::wer was given, and received com
ment, as far back as last July, when faint
tnulterings of protest against a Teutonic
customs union with the Dual Monarchy was
projected. It Is realized that from precisely
such a Zollverein ns is now proposed tho
highly centralized German Uniplro sprung
by a series of accidents and of diplomatic
machinations. Austria, tattered and tarn
anct unhappy, still clings to her individuality
while she crushes that of other smaller
cations.
Whatever far-seeing statesmanship and
patriotism remains In Austria will look with
dread on the tentatives of the German na
tion;. Tho ruthless hand will not be stayed
by memories of a struggle In which Austria
herself has taken a nono too glorious part.
.. WHAT MONEY CANT BUY
THE spectacle of the "poor but proud" per
son resisting all the temptations of wealth
In order to be what he considers righteous is
a common one In melodrama, and examples
have even been found, In scattered instances,
In life. In our time and in this country, with
men getting rich while the hour glass runs, a
phenomenon of a more striking order is be
ing presented.
It la that of the man who is rich but proud.
Perpy Haughton, who has coached the Har
vard football teams for live years, Is a pro
fessional man, and besides that, is rich
enough to need neither work nor football for
a living. At the end of the present season
be said that coaching was torture. Vet
ha Keeps on- And at the other end of the
scale Is such a violinist as Albert Spalding,
commonly reputed to be rich enough to re
tire to a life of yachts and yawning boredom
forever. He works as only musicians have
to work, and he is rewarded.
These men are too good merely to be rich.
They have to be proud of an Individual
achievement, and to it they sacrifice the very
thing which ordinary men sacrifice their lives
to get.
gTJLL; TRYING TO DODGE SUBSIDIES
THE new ship-purchase bill, emanating
trorn Secretary McAdoo and Secretary
JeAeia. is ubout as bad as the one which
iaiVnd of passage by the last Congress. It
e&Mii for the appropriation of $50,000,000 for
teUMibg between 400,000 and 600,000 tons of
WMChant ships. Mr. McAdoo has not yet ex
jptaWd where he can get this vast sum; but
tia. Js a mert detail, that should not worry
statesmen.
Ilia framers of tho measure seem to have
discovered that the plan to charter a corpo
ration to run ships on losing routes and still
jj Bilr.ority pf the capital stock to the public

ships and lenso them to corporations to bo
organized for tho purpose of operating them.
Tho public la to bo asked to subscribe to tho
capital slock, and tho Government will Iftko
nono of it If the public proves willing to buy.
This plan will succeed beyond tho wildest
dreams of Its projectors If they will only
lease tho Hew ships on prollt-maklng terms.
With tho shipping laws In tho present shape,
of course they cannot export nny corporation
to pay fur tho uso of tho new Government
owned merchant ships anywhere near enough
to meet tho Interest on tho Investment. There
would bo no need of a slilp-pnrchaso law if
private capital found the foreign shipping
business profitable under the American Hag.
Mr. McAdoo must contemplate a loss on tho
lnvestiueiit of public funds. Hut tho deficit
could ho concealed by his rxprrt bookkeepers
and n subsidy tinder another tmmo would bo
pointed to as a triumph of Democratic states
manship. THE NATION NEEDS THIS PORT
COUNCILMAN SUa KU'S remarks about
lht folly of spending money to develop
tho port of Philadelphia deserve nttontloli
only bccniiso other uninformed and provln
rlnlly minded citizens may hold similar
views.
They sny that 1'hlladelphla Is nbotlt 100
miles from the sea, that It Is dllllcull to keep
tho channel clear and that tho country has
seaports enough on thn Atlantic already,
with New York, Itoston and llaltlmoro ready
to handlo nit tho foreign business. And they
ftiguo that it is foolish to comparo this city
with Hamburg, for the reason that tho city
on tho Elbe Is tho chief seaport of Germany
and Its most direct outlet to tho world mar
kets. Such talk, In tho first place, Is based on a
failure to understand the position which this
port already occupies In tho foreign trade,
Tho port of llaltlmoro is on salt water, with
n clear channel to the sea; hut in the llscal
year ending with June SO of last year, when
shipping Was not disturbed hy tho war, tho
foreign tonnago that entered and cleared
thero was only 3,000,000 tons, while E.000,000
tons entered and cleared from tho Philadel
phia customs district. Boston, which is
much nearer Europo than cither Baltimore,
Philadelphia or New York, entered and
cleared only ROO.OOO tons moro than Phila
delphia. On tho Pacific coast tho combined
foreign tonnago that entered and cleared
from Pan Francisco and tho whole State of
Washington was r.on.000 less than from Phila
delphia nlnno. The man who attempts to
belittle tho foreign trade of Philadelphia be
trays Ignorance of the whole subject of tho
export ami import business of the nation.
In tho second place, tho development of
Philadelphia's water front Is not it local
Issue. It Is of national importance. Ameri
can trpdc Is small in comparison with what
It wMl bo In another generation. Even If It
wero desltnble to concentrato evorythlns In
Now York, which It Is not, that port cannot
accommodate tho business. It is of first Im
ponnnco that there should be competitive
ports. Boston realizes it, and so docs Balti
more, and so do the great producers of tho
Jliild'r West, whose goods must bo brought
to tho seaboard on their way to market. A
group of alert and far-sighted Phlladcl
pliliins understand it also. They have suc
ceeded in committing the city to a program
of port dOvelopment. The plans already
made must be carried out, and woo to nny
littlo-mlndca men who attempt to stand In
tho way!
OTHER REFORMS ALSO POSSIBLE
TtHi spoils system has not been ontiroly
eliminated, but tho delegates to tho con
vention of the Nntlonnl Civil Scrvlco IJoform
League, which has Just concluded Its ses
sions in this city, may well congratulate
themselves and tho country on tho progress
that hnK been made.
It used to bo argued that unless thero was
a clean sweep In tho olllccs from Janitor to
tho highest department head every tlmo
there was a change in party control of gov
ernment no ono would take any interest In
public affairs. But wo have learned that
thero aro men who arc willing to work for
their party because they bellevo in Us prin
ciples. No broad-minded political leader
would bo willing to go back to tho old sys
tem under which ho had to devote n'.irly all
of his tlmo and energy to parceling out tho
olllccs nnd bottling tho disputes between dis
gruntled friends of tho candidates who had
to bo turned down. They havo nil discovered
that for every friend they make hy putting
a man In ofllco they mnko half a dozen' en
emies. When tho introduction of tho merit system
Into tho civil Kcrvlco was proposed it was
denounced as visionary and Impracticable.
Its success leads tho optimists to hope that
other itforms, that seem Impossible today,
may bo wrought in another generation.
Every Philudelphinn could make a list of
thoso for which somo unmitigated optimists
havo bi'cn fighting for the past fifteen years.
Millions for Improvements, hut not one
cent for graft!
Another detective ngency has lost Its 11
cense. It was caught with tho goods.
We cannot havo Mr. Boosevelt with us
always, so the next best thing is to get an
adequate army and navy.
These slides la the Panama Canal nro a
little suspicious. With bomb-throwera ply.
Ing their trade, one never can tell.
Unless nil the Jellyfish In the United States
are also In Congress, thero will be some leg
islation passed that ought to put a quietus
on Incendiarism.
Now we shall see whether the King of
Montenegro's refusal to build good roads lest
they should make an Austrian Invasion too
easy is good military strategy.
According to Charlie Soger, "spending
money for this port is like throwing it into
a sewer." It may be added that that sewer
does not empty Into the right pocket.
Senator Weeks admits that he is In the
hands of his friends, and ex-Senator Hoot
has said that if he were nominated, "I should
feel it my duty to accept even if it killed me."
They are both good Americans.
The Blankenburg administration was
lucky when it could got enough money to
carry on the ordinary expenses. The ex
traordlnary vigilance of tho Finance Com
mittee seems to havo vanished with the re
cent election.
The anti-Germans who believe that the
Kaiser is about to order all the prisoners of
war shot to save the cost of feeding them
must be descended from the Englishmen who
Knew that Napoleon breakfasted on a new
bora baby every day.

How wo hoofed It round this town,
Cub reporters then together,
Hunting newsy items down

And I think xvo'll both admit
Neither one of tis was fit

That's tho simple truth of It!
Still our wages wero no whit
Moro than you or I wero worth,
But you didn't need to care,
You were soon to havo a shnro
Of tho A. J. D. estate.
When you en mo In for your pile,
You'll remember now nnd snilla
How somo Journalistic mnte,
Whom wo needn't designate,

Of most eminent renown,"
As "tho richest nnd tho poorest
Young reporter in tho town."

You have mado to como to pass.
So, n blessing on you, Tony,
And another blessing, too,
On tho Ilttlo lad whoso coming

A Western editor who recently wroto of

W3 CAN appreciate tho stato of mind
of Chief Officer lllckcy, of tho schooner
Judge lloycc, who refused eight dusky wives
In payment for an umbrella presented to
King Ucopo, of Opobo, Africa. Wo Just
missed marrying ono dusky wife that Is
to say, ono African princess ourself. You
may not know It, but tho lato Captain
Leonard 1). Barrett, for many years head
of the Board of Admiralty Surveyors In this
city, was ono of tho first traders to tho
Congo. Ho mado many voyages to that
region, ami on ono occasion ho won tho
favor tho too-nffectlonato favor of tho
King, or chief, whoso tiibo inhabited the
shores of tho Congo In thoso days. A son
of tho King, It seems, was 111 of the scurvy,
and tho captain cured hint with bread pills
and much necessary water, tho latter ap
plied externally. In gratitude tho King
dragged forward ono of his daughters, blush
ing London-smoklly, wo may suppose, and
wished her upon the captain for his bride.
Tho captain had dllllculty in explaining that
slnco ho had already married Fredrlca Ilut
ledgo hack In tho States, it would bo quite
impossible for him to found n new African
dynasty. Tho captain mnnnged finally, of
course, to crawl out of It, but nono of ns
over think of tho narrow escape without
shivering, AVhat's that? You don't
sco what It has to do with us? Don't you
see. if tho captain had married that African
princess his daughters would havo been
African princesses, too, wouldn't they? Well,
tho captain had several lovely daughters,
and well, ono of them poured our coffco for
us this morning.
Pet Pests
Dear Sir My Pet Pest, since you seem to bo
Inviting this sort of thing, Is tho clutp who fol
lows mo through a doorway and leaves mo hold
ing tho door open. J. F. F.
Sir Let mo nominate a foursomo for tho
Pet Pest Cup. Thero Is grave consternation
nt one of the big golf clubs because of a pro
posed breach of neutrality by cortaln members
who compuso ono of the absolutely regular four
ball matches'. A icprcsentntivn of the German
Government happened to sco them play a few
holes a while ago, on which holes an unusual
number of balls was lost. Bo subsequently
made tho players rut offer of untold wealth to
play golf up and down the battle line, the Idea
being that nobody or nothing could go through
them. It. In understood that the offer Is being
given serious consideration, not because of the
money offered, but becauso of tho chanco for
tho players to show what they really can do.
Altch II. Altch.
Tho trouble some of our readers will havo
in getting anything out of tho golf grouch
nbovo reminds us of tho fellow who said:
"I know what 'Kyrlo Eleison' means, hut all
tho rest of tho ritual Is Greek to me." (And
even this, perhaps, will bo Greek to others!)
We Pass Politics Are Greek (o Us
Pear Tom Head lines on the second page
of tonight's paper announce that political fac
tions were engaged in "pull-aml-hall game
over Itecorder's name for safety head." The
close connection between tho pull and tho hall
Is readily understood by nny one familiar with
jocal politics, but what is tho recorder's name for
safety head? lias It superseded the old-favh-loned
head, and does it strike only on the
box? A. B. K.
The Solo Is Enough.
Dear Sir I bumped Into a fellow In the
Uellevue-Stratford orchestra tonight named
Uomeo Cello and he plays one. Anything funny
In that? I know It would be twice at funny If
the pianist's name happened to be P. Anno, but
It doesn't. J. U. G
Wish you could have seen the rhododen
dron hush in our garden yesterday morning.
The snow piling up in the cupped leaves had
brought back over night the waxen-blossomed
glory of last June. And Wlster Wood,
as one of the light-hearted lovers of the
big trees, said, looked as It some one had
dumped tho sugar shaker over It. Which
reminds us of a whimsical friend who came
out to call on us one winter day. "Looks
like snow out here," he said. "Looks like
It?" wo queried. "Why, man alive, it's snow
ing now!" "Yes," he replied, "and I repeat.
It looks like snow out here. In tho city It
doesn't."
The Sensualism of Music
(From International Muilo and Drama.)
The effects of Music on the human organism
are of two kinds those, which are essentially
material, though uufelt and unnotlce, as, for
instance, those exerted on the stomach and
the intestines, the heart and the lung which
are stimulated more or less by rapid and
Joyous sounds, and these which are easthetic
and not physiological, in the sense that the
feeling of well-being they produce is resolved In
psychic Joy, in a real spiritual happiness, which
Is the only positive aim of art and the only
essential effect of beauty.
We don't quite get thla, but then we'va
only been gcing to the symphony concerts
a few years and our musical education ain't
what you might call finished.

PHILADELPHIA'S
CHIEF OF SCHOOLS
Believes Local Histoiy Is Much
Undervalued Illustrates His
Books With His Own Maps
Eve it r
Its exc
man has his hobby, so 'tis said, but
icellenco ns a promoter of personal ef
ficiency Is moro generally recognized when wo
rail It an avocation. Lack of an avocation,
then, Is u handicap. Moreover, an avocation Is
valuable for Itself. That of Philadelphia's su
perintendent of public
schools Is the study of
local history. In tin
subject he finds recrea
tion; nnd mlcilllonnlU
he ranks high anion,
tho authorities. Vci
few men nro more fa
miliar than he with tin
romance, and drama of
tho course of event m
this city of ours, anil
when wo speak of "ro
mance" and "drama" n
1 li I s connection w
share, though probnblj
tint equally. Doctor
Harbor's wonderful ie;il
Izatlon of the "huin.in
factor" running .,fn
throughout the Htory of"" "",N ' "audwi.
Philadelphia. Yesterday, In conversation, he
t-oomed very much interested In an address
which somebody Is to give on "The Postoftlces
of Philadelphia," hut you can ho very certain
that building xpccillcntions and mere chronol
ogy nie not tho soiuoes of nttrnctlon. So tho
superintendent of schools has a very real com
prehension of how the hoys nnd girls under
his charge feel about the dry-bones of his
tory. Local History Is Civics
There Is no doubt that Phlludelphlans, like
tho pcoplo of most other great communities,
nro wofully ignorant of local history, and that
they nro missing a whole lot of enjoyment and
profit becnusn of that fact. Civic pride Is los
ing a good deal from the Fame cause; or, to
put It another way, a belter Unoivlcdgo of tho
history of Philadelphia on the part of Its citi
zens would help tho community In a thousand
wn)s. A good plni'O to promote the knowledge
of locat history Is tho schoolroom, and not
only tho schoolroom but the historic places in
nmi around Phllidjlphla. This sort of educa
tion Doctor Garher behoves to be nf great im
portance, and so considerable emphasis Is
being placed upon It in tho city schools this
year. Indoor instruction is being supplemented
by outdoor excursions. It's not history of tho
"dry-bones" order, but the kind that reveals
the evolution of thought, iiinniiers nnd cus
toms, thn changes in tho life of the people, the
kind that compares social environments. Somo
of us went to school before the subject of his
tory had been humanized.
Local history, apparently, is to Doctor Gnr
ber a branch of civics. "It Is our aim," he
tnvs, "to treat every child ns a Ilttlo citizen."
From speaking of his avocation wo have como
to speak of his professional work. He, himself,
doesn't let one Intcrfeio with tho other, so
pei bars wo had better follow his example.
Doctor Oarlxir has been n student of history
Just about nil his life, n fact which suggests
ono of his chief Inractoristlcs. He Is still the
student. AVIth Dr. C Henry Knln, 15 years
ago, he took a leading part l.l the formation
of the City History Society of Philadelphia,
the good work of which has been described In
these columns. !Ie helped .vrito a very Inter
esting history of Old Germuntown nnd Is the
author of a number of historical monographs.
One of them deals with "The Settlements on
tho Delaware Hlver Prior to the Coming of
William Penn," and another Is entitled "The
Walking Purchase' and Other Indlnn Treaties
of Pennsylvania." For some of his publica
tions he has himself drawn mnps, for the Doc
tor Is a man of varied accomplishments. He
Is enthusiastic nnd expert with a camera In
bis hands, and uses photography us an aid to
his principal hobby. Along with his library of
Phlladelphlana he has a large and valuable col
lection of photographs of historic buildings and
sites In nnd around the city.
Yesterday ho tola me something of the liter
ary history of Philadelphia. Now Kngland, I
learned, wasn't In It besldo Philadelphia along
about the Revolutionary period. Thirty paper
mills were kept busy hereabouts supplying
materials fp books and newspapers, while New
Kngland had use for only three such factories.
Up to tho thirties this was the literary centro
of the country. Doctor Garbcr wouldn't belit
tle tho product of that remarkable mutual ad
miration and promotion society (or thoso two
societies) which nourished In Boston and Con
cord In the mid-century.
Teaching Hygiene Through Habit
Doctor Garber has written a number of books
on educational topics, and one of them, I think,
has been translated Into Japanese. They show
that the author Is exceptionally well versed in
current educational history, familiar with all
tendencies and experiments in the Meld where
he early found hlg life work. Doctor Garber
began teaching school to earn money for nor
mal school and college expenses. He was grad
uated from the State Normal School at Ship
pensburg, and from the University of Pennsyl
vania, from which he received the degree of
Doctor of Philosophy in IS37. He afterwards
attended a summer school at Jena. For 30
years or so he has been connected with the
educational system of this city, coming here
as principal of the Kenderton School and re
ceiving last month his appointment as super
intendent. As associate superintendent his
work related largely to the placement, trans
fer and promotion of teachers, and he thus
gained a personal acquaintance with the teach
ig staff unequaled by that of anybody else
In the department. This personal relationship
Is one of the qualifications of the present super
intendent most highly valued by the teachers
and by the mm himself.
Health, and not local history, is the bis sub

THE RIGHT AND LETS ME WATCH THE SPEEDOMETERS
this year tinder Doctor Gnrbcr's direction. The
health of the pupils and tho promulgation of
knowledgo of hygleno throughout tho community
is the aim which stands out among tho pur
poses of tho new 3hl"f. Tho co-opcrntlon of
parents Is sought nnd Is being received. Educa
tion of parents in matters of hygiene and house
hold sanitation Is being promoted by school
houso meetings addressed by physicians who
have volunteered for the service. Tho Home
and School League Is taking a large part In
this campaign of education, nnd other organi
sations arc osslstlng In one way or another.
The meetings arc largely attended. Tho teach
ers hold meetings of their own, also, and listen
to invlttd speakers of national reputation. Two
central considerations nro the necessity of see
ing that what Is taught tho pupil In school Is
not undone hy example In his own home nnd,
In the school Itself, tho Insistence on tho form
ing of hygienic habits on the part of tho pupil
so that his learning will he grooved deep by do
ing. The school lunches are another means to
ward the end of bringing good health to the
a'd of education and education to the aid of
good health. The two go together, from both
the schoolroom viewpoint and the community
viewpoint. The Homo nnd School League Is
putting the lunch Idea Into praetlco in schools
for which the board has not appropriated money
for this purpose. Doctor Garber Is much grati
fied by the progress made In tho health pro
gram, and by the responso from tho public.
He takc3 no credit for himself, but pays tribute
to the energy and capability of the men and
women In direct charge of the work. Somo
tin n of the conversation led me to nsk him yes
terday If Ids new Job didn't keep htm pretty
btisy, and ho responded, "Oh, yes, enough, but
when one has such associates ns I have" I
forgot how he finished tho sentence, but I re
member that ho spoke with unmistakable,
though quiet, feeling.
I Imagine that Doctor Gather's teachers and
executives aro his associates rather than as
sistants. I know It Is a pleasant experience to
tnlk with him In his corner olllcc on the 12th
floor of tho Stock Exchange Ilulldlng. A qulot
manncred, genial, scholarly man, ho yet seems
aggressive. Aggressiveness Is not bluster, but
going ahead and doing things. Doctor Garber
docs by doing. B. II.

ama Canal contains among other Interesting
features, a half page advertisement of tho Pa
cific Mall Steamship Company with "canceled"
printed In red Ink across its face.
We presume tho Advertiser went to press
early and was compelled to take this method
of announcing the extermination of American
shipping on tho Pacific.
Canceled Is tho right word. New York World.
NATIONAL POINT OP VIEW
When tho country girds Itself ngalnst a for
eign foe. It must know that It Is ndeiiuutely
protected against thoso who would stab Its de
fenders in the back, without hesitation and
without remorse. Chicago Herald.
This is a conlllct of force, and force alone
will bring It to a termination. When ono side
or the other Is exhausted pence will como and
not until then. That exhaustion may he physi
cal or may be financial, or both. Washington
Star.
Mr. Itoosevelt has shown the same qualities
of courage and vigor, the same ability to fix
the Issues In public attention, combined with a
practicality and hard sense, which tho country
has found lacking in the Nelraskan. Kansas
City Star.
