IS LIFE WORTH SAVING?
DIRECTOR ZIEOLER reports that If tho
appropriation for tho Health Depart
ment wore Increased from 33.2 cents per
capita to 60 cents nearly 5000 lives could bo
caved every year that nro now snuffed out
through rcmovablo causes. Tho total in
crease needed Is only about $240,000, or about
$50 n life.
It Is estimated that tho money valuo of a
llfo Is $1700. If tho city thinks that It Is
worth while spending' $50 to save to the com
munity a much greater sum In tho valuo of
Its living assets, tho money which Director
Zleglcr says should bo appropriated will bo
forthcoming. But If tho authorities do not
think that llfo Is worth saving tho work of
tho Health Department In reducing the mor
tality rate will bo hampered and tho under
takers will profit. They, however, will bo
the only persons who will gain anything by
a niggardly policy.
FREIGHT WILL BE MOVED
WHEN freight cannot be moved by rail
road It finds some other way. Already
five-ton motor trucks nro making trips be
tween this city and New York, carrying
goods which the railroads cannot handle be
cause of tho accumulation of freight and tho
congestion at New York terminals. It costs
more to uso tho motor trucks than tho
freight trains, but business cannot como to
a standstill. A going concern must keep
going, and it will submit to Increased costs
for a short time, or It will adjust Itself to
new conditions. Tho motor truck servlco has
been Introduced through prlvato initiative.
The Transportation Committee of the
Chnmber of Commerce, a seml-publlc Institu
tion, has been Justifying Its creation by
seeking to keep freight moving botwoon this
city and Now England In splto of tho rail
road embargo. It has already succeeded In
persuading tho Merchants and Minors'
Transportation Company to run a special
freight steamship between this port and
Boston, beginning tonight, and to continue
so long as there Is demand for it. Tho de
mand ha? created tho needed facilities for
doing business.
Tho moral of this situation ought not to
bo lost upon the men interested in booming
tho port. Tho success of tho committee of
tho Chamber of Commerce in meeting this
etnergenoy is likely to encourago it to con
tinue In the way In whloh It has started.
LLOYD-GEORGE
Ff ALL. tho signs another parliamentary
avalanche is descending upon England.
The miooess of Lord Derby's plan Is still
problematical, and while conscription hangs
to tho balance voice after Insistent voice has
been raised to speak the name of Lloyd
OeoTge. if Aoqulth breaks, after Mb long
struggle, the man from Wales will be the
only man in England strong enough to
fsoceed.
It la Impossible to evaluate now the Ser
vians of Asqulth. because at this time men's
jw turn only toward the future. Ills prob
tam -wan the hardest given a Premier since
tho time of Pitt, possibly the most difficult
o f or Ktven to a non-dynastlo head of a na
tion. He had to help him men of astound
ing ability and of unbounded Belf-sacrillce,
among them the "dangerous radical," Lloyd
aeorge. The latter is no Intriguant; he
eetna hardly to be a polttlolan. but he has
already accomplished miracles.
HhouM he be appointed Prime Minister
Uoyd-Oeorge would still have the task of
unifying England. He has made It produc
tive of war munitions since ho accepted that
duty. He must make It productive of war
riors before he la through.
PAN-AMERICA
The QoreTment of the United States to
day conn, etes the erasing with a friendly
hand of the last traces of past misunder
standings and erroneous Interpretations
which had. In former times, clouded the hor
izon of America. Eduardo SuareM, Jmtajja
dor from Chill.
EVERY word of the remarks quoted above,
Which were made by Senor Suarez in his
capacity of presiding officer of the Pan
American Scientific Congress, now in session
at Washington, Is significant; but none is
more pregnant with meaning than the last
word of all, America. Merely by using that
name, without apology and without qualifi
cation, the Ambassador helped to create a
new entity, which stretches from the Cana
dian border to the farthermost tip of the
Argentina. A casual reference It was, but It
indicates how firmly the Idea of an embrac
ing America has sunk Into the minds of men.
Two things have militated against the
complete success of this concept. The more
vicious ha been tho thought, In the minds
of citizens of tho United States, that the
southern Republics had far more to gain by
co-cprstion and that this country could "da

tacked Its natural allies would lie not ncross
tho ocean, but southwnrd.
The other misconception has been on tho
part of tho lesser Republics, who feared that
tho Monroo Doctrlno was held by us as n
menrtco and as a protoxt for aggression. It
has nover been so held by Americans, and It
Is well that South America understands now
that if tho Doctrlno Is a loaded cannon it Is
pointed ncross the seas. It Is even possible
that our policy In Mexico, vacillating and
humiliating as It has been, has, by accident,
had tho good result of persuading tho world
thnt this country at least covets no other
riches than Its own.
CHARTERS ARE HORN, NOT MADE
IT IS much easier for a company of men to
gather in a library and framo a model
city charter than for them to persuado any
city to ndopt It after It Is drnwn. In splto
of this obvious truth tho Program Commit
tee of tho National Municipal League la
about to put forth Its second model char
ter. Tho first appeared IS years ago, but
tho most notable change In the method of
governing American cities In tho last decado
and a half was not foreseen by tho men who
drafted It.
Tho commission form of government
sprang from tho needs of Clntveston after
n heavy storm piled tho waters of tho Clulf
of Mexico upon tho city and destroyed all tho
public works In September, 1300. A commis
sion of tho ablest men In tho community was
organized to take over the Government and
to solve pressing problems. Theso men suc
ceeded so well that other cities abandoned
their old form of government and created
commissions until now 69 of tho 193 cities
having moro than 30,000 population nro gov
erned by commissions. Tho temporary com
mission In Memphis, which rescued that city
from bankruptcy In 189, was displaced by a
Mayor and Councils when tho crisis was
passed, leaving Onlvcston tho honor of dem
onstrating that what was useful In an
emergency could be ndaptcd to tho ordinary
routine of everyday llfo.
Tho charter of 15 yearn ago also failed to
provldo for tho city manager, another de
velopment of comparatively rocent times
really growing out of tho commission Idea.
Tho theorists then thought that tho Mayor
should bo a qualified voter resident within
tho city limits and should bo electod for two
years. But In 1913 tho Ohio Lcgislaturo au
thorized tho formation of municipal corpo
rations governed by a small commission of
five o'r seven men, which It called a council.
This council Is empowered to employ a city
manager as the chief administrative officer.
About 45 cities In 22 States have followed tho
oxamplo of Dayton, the first Ohio city to htro
a manager, and Dayton adopted tho plan
After tho great Hood.
It is said that the now model charter will
Include a provision for a city manager, who
may bo employed regardless of his voting
resldcnco In another community. But no
city will adopt tho plan simply becauso It Ib
recommended by tho theorists In tho Na
tional Municipal League. Chartors aro born
of tho necessities of each Individual city.
Roforms nro made when old conditions bc
como Intolerable and not before. Philadel
phia will continue to bungle along with Its
two-chambered Councils, containing 13S men
willing to take orders from tho bosses, until
tho breakdown of this form of local Legisla
ture Is complete, even though overy munic
ipal theorist knows that Councils long slnco
ceased to perform the functions which it was
created to exercise.
ENGLAND'S ARISTOCRACY
I
N THE Article by Will Irwin, published In
yesterday's Eveninq Ledqeh, it was
pointed out that, other things being equal,
Sir Douglas Halg would have been chosen
over William R. Robertson because the for
mer Is a member of tho aristocracy. Bo
cause Mr. Irwin was writing primarily a
news story ho established tho fact without
discussion; but tho Implications of the fact
aro too significant for us In America to pass
unnoticed.
Wo had been taught hero to consider the
English aristocracy as a parasite class, rid
dled by debts, ruined by bad living, encum
bering the national councils with a useless
upper house and only saved from extinction
by mesalliances with chorus girls. Tho old
order of dignity nnd servlco seemed passed
forever, and tho distressing feature seemed
to be that tho newer nobility wns bent on
perpetuating not tho virtues, but tho vices
of the old. It wns far too easy to believe all
this and to feel that In real democracy we
had left our Mother England far behind.
If tho caso of Sir Douglas Halg meant only
that the English dearly love a lord, and they
do, it would glvo no reason for changing
those beliefs. But it means much more, and
It is not an Isolated case. Oxford, home of
aristocracy among other lost causes, was
perhaps hardest hit of all English Institu
tions when the war broke out. Tho aristoc
racy itself never has given a pretext for the
advocates of conscription, because tho aris
tocracy of England is in tho field and has
been Blnco the beginning. It is not only
fighting, It Is sacrificing Itself every day,
and the toll of noble lives which cuts Eng
land's heart Is appalling even to us, who
consider one life as sacred as another.
Finally, most cheering consideration of all
Is the fact that this one striking case of the
newly appointed British Commander is really
a victory for democracy. Sir Douglas Halg
Is the son of 'a commoner, a justice of the
peace at best, and his knighthood, granted
but two years ago, is not heredltnry. He Is
an extraordinary example of the method by
which England recruits and Invigorates her
aristocracy by the recognition of merit
wherever It Is found. And he may prove a
startling example of how grateful an aris
tocrat may be.

song in six Western States next Saturday.

Tom Daly's Column
ANEW and special spice mingled with tho
balmy perfumo of tho Christmas treo
In our house this year. It was tho breath
of a generous sprig of tho daphho odora,
tho Christmas flower of B0 yearn ago, sent
to us by n Qcrmantown friend. Tlmo wns,
he tells us, when tho daphne's lnurel-llko
bloom nnd lance-shaped dnrk-greon leaves
woro inseparable from Christmas In old
Philadelphia nnd the counties nearby most
nftected by tho Qunker families of note. It
wns the custom then among tho gentlo
Friends to exclmngo daphne plants at
Christmas time, but tho Increasing uso of
nrttflclal heat til the houses, quite as much
as any other ono thing, killed oft tho plant
and tho fashion. From Charleston south
It Is still found In old gnWlens out of doors,
but it is found virtually nowhere In tho
North except In tho four old-fashioned
greenhouses of Fred Byxboe, In the out
skirts of Norwnlk, Conn. Every plant lit his
greenhouses Is an offshoot from tho original
plant his grnntlmother had, nnd tho cultiva
tion of thin lovely old flower Is Mr. Byxbeo's
life-work.
Wo can't hope to describe tho overpower
ing, old-fashioned perfumo of the dnph.no
odorn. It must nppenl differently to differ
ent nostrils, but for us It brought up a
tender memory of Maggie and of her little
room In our house; but most of all of thd
quaint old trunk In tho corner, In which,
she treasured nnd hoarded all the bottles of
cologno nnd cakes of scented soap glvon to
her In a generation of Chrtstmnscs. Magglo
was ono of tho faithful old family servants
of nn older day, and her momory Is as sweot
to us ns tho breath of tho daphne. "May
perpetual light shlno upon herl" Her la3t
few years were clouded, but not unhappy.
Sho wns a hard-working, simple crcaturo,
nnd her chief boast was that, ns our nurso,
sho figured as chief actor In tho Important
ceremony of our weaning. Sho wns kind
nnd helpful to us In many ways. Sho
guided our first steps nnd afterward, in other
wnys, sho helped to keep our feet upon tho
ground. For Instance, let us cite tho oc
casion of our first bringing homo a friend
to spend tho night with us. It was a follow
reporter, Sam Stlnson, nnd In his honor tho
dear old mint, with whom wo lived, spread
next morning n somcwhnt moro elaborate
breakfast than our modest tnblo usunlly
nfforded. To Moggie, who was anxiously
watching us from tho kitchen, wo made tho
mlstnko of remnrklng: "Maggie, this cof
fee seems to be weak." "No," sho snld, "tho
coffee's Just tho same as over, but It's got
crenm In It. You ain't used to cream,"

Dressing Up to tho Part
The telephone bell In tho office of tho Chief
of Detectives rang many times yesterday, but
this was tho best thing that camo over the

WELL,
LIEBEL A FRIEND
OF THE NAVY YARD
Erie Congressman on Naval Affairs
Committee Is a New Figure in
Pennsylvania Political Life.
, A Promising Future
THERE Is at least ono Democrat In tho
Pennsylvania congressional delegation
who will provo a good friend of tho Phila
delphia Navy Yard, and ho Is Michael
Llebel, Jr., of Erie, Pennsylvania's only
other port. Inciden
tally Erlo Is gonerally
known ns tho mothcr-ln-law
of tho navy,
and It seems only
right and proper that
Mr. Llobol was plnccd
on tho Houso Commit
tee on Naval Affairs,
succeeding to tho
place mado vacant by
tho retirement of tho
genial and hardwork
ing Robert E. Lee, of
Michael, meiiei,. jn. Schuylkill County.
Mr. Llebel Is well known among Demo
crats In Philadelphia. Ho is tho acknowl
edged Democratic, leader in northwestern
Pennsylvania, and moro of tho leadership
burden has fallen on his shoulders since tho
death in Florida of Stato Senator J. K. P.
Hall.
Thero aro Interesting associations of Con
gressman Liehel's homo town with tho
American navy. He was born and reared
In Erie, where, slnco 1S14, tho old United
States steamship Michigan, now called tho
Wolverine, has been stationed. Tho Wolver
ine Is not only tho oldest Iron warship niloat,
but It also Is tho only American warship on
tho entire chain of Great Lakes. It was
there before tho treaty between England and
tho United States was made, nnd this treaty
specifically cares for this old ship, which Is
still In commission nnd cruises about tho
lakes every yenr. by allowing It to remain
an nrmed warship. Just at present It Is
used ns a training ship for the Pennsylvania
Naval Militia, hut It Is on tho active list of
naval vessels of tho Nnvy Department, nnd
has a regular crow on It at all times.
And not far from whero the Wolvcrlno Is
moored for tho winter at Erie lies Commo
dore Perry's rejuvenated llagshlp, tho Nl
ngara, raised from her resting plnco of 100
years In Misery Bay in 1912-1913, rebuilt nnd
towed from ono port to another during tho
Perry centennial of--1913. Hero aro two of
tho old'.': fighting ships In tho world, ready
to sail nt nlmost any minute.
Wives for the Navy
Tho presence of the Wolverine in Erie for
so many years has helped to glvo Congress
man Llebel a wide acquaintance among
naval officers and an unusual personal
knowledgo of tho navy itaclf. For many
years a berth on tho Wolverine, when It wns
the Michigan, was eagerly sought by naval
officers, and there were moro requests for
assignments to duty at Erlo than ever could
bo cared for by the department. There Is
many a retired admiral who served aboard
tho Wolverlno as a junior officer on tho nc
tivo lls nt present who recalls with pleneuro
his days of duty nt Erie. Scores of ,naval
officers married Erio girls, and that Is tho
chief reason for calling Erie "tho raother-ln-law
of tho navy." It Is said that Erlo has
furnished more wives for tho navy than any
city in the United States.
Congressman Llebel has n wide acquaint
ance among navul officers, ranging from
juniors to retired veterans, and his appoint
ment to the Naval Commltteo -was accepted
In Washington, particularly, with a great
deal of satisfaction. Ono of his closest
friends was the late Captain Grldley, "of
Erie, the hero of Manila, who commanded
Dewey'8 flagship, the Olympia, In tljat fa
mous battle.
Particularly should Philadelphia bo inter
ested in Congressman Llebel, because he has
gone on record as boing a friend of the Phila
delphia Navy Yard.
"So far as I nm concerned," said Congress
man Llebel in Washington tho other day, "I
shall do everything within reason to aid In
building up the Philadelphia Navy Yard and
to place It In the front rank. Philadelphia,
geographically, Is bettor located than any
other city in tho United States for ship
building, and I cannot conceive why It
should not take front rank. Neglect of this
yard in the past Is undoubtedly responsible
for Its present. Inability to handle a big bat

gS. I
IT MEANS THIS MUCH, ANYHOW
j , J i
Philadelphia yard all tho monoy nocossary
to so equip It that It can compoto with any
other yard In tho country. Philadelphia Is
nenr to overy needed sourco of supply, with
excellent transportation fncllltles, and I ccr
talnly am In favor of doing overythlng pos
slblo to provldo tho means In order to place
tho Philadelphia yard In readiness for build
ing ships which undoubtedly will bo author
ized by tho presont Congress."
When He Gets Into Battle
Congressman Llebel does not talk much for
publication, but in Eriri ho has tho reputa
tion of doing things. A man from Erlo will
not hesitate to tell you that "Llobol is tho
best Mayor Erlo over had." Mr. Llcbol Is
still a young man, full of energy, and a hnrd
fighter when ho gets Into battle Ho was 45
years old on January 12, having been born in
Erlo In 1870. Ho gained his education in
tho public schools and then went to Canlslus
Collcgo In Buffalo, N. Y., from which Insti
tution ho wan graduated with honors. After
graduation ho went Into business, and ho Is
now nn active spirit In numerous business
ventures. At present ho Is president of tho
Mahoning Electric Company, which sup
plies electric power to Youngstown, O., and
ho Is also president of tho Youngstown Hcnt
lng Company, which sells steam heat in tho
samo city. Ho Is president of tho Vulcan
Rubber Company, of Erlo, which makes au
tomobile tires and Inner tubes of every kind,
nndtfio Is also president of tho Llebel-BInney
Construction Company, of Erio, which lias
built everything from a cottago to a sky
scraper. Mr. Llebel is also a real estate
operator on a largo scale, and at this tlmo
Is engaged in building up a big subdivision
in Erio near tho new General Electric plant.
While actively engaged in business, Mr.
Llebel finds tlmo to keep his hand on tho
polltlcnl throttle. Ho wns first elected Mayor
of Erlo by City Councils, and then after thnt
ho ran twice and was elected, each tlmo by
a larger majority. Ho had still a greater
majority when ho ran for Congress, nnd ho
enjoys tho distinction of being ono of two
or three men In tho entire United States who
was elected to succeed a Republican at tho
1911 election.
