The army will take caro of tho
country If tho country will take care of
tho army.
Tho Athletics did not win any
games whllo thoy wero out West, but
every postponed affair was more or leas
a victory.
It was last Wednesday, wasn't It,
that several hundred Democrats wero
encoring themselves hoarse when they
wero told that Wilson had kept tho coun
try out of war7
Tho delegnto from tho Philippines
to the ad .men's convention, who sent
6000 Manila dinars for tho delegates, did
not realize that It would tako 10,000 to
provide a smoko apiece.
Nothing that Congress has dono
has put the munitions factories In shape
to supply as largo an army as may ha
needed In Mexico. Wc have to thank the
European nations for stirring them to
activity.
Saving daylight by setting tho clocks
ahead is a good thing, but what this city
and some others need Is to use the school
houses Instead of linvlng them Idle more
hours than they are busy, although thou
sands of pupils nro on half-time.
The Public Service Commission has
become a grab bag. Of the two new
members appointed last summer by tho
Governor, ono has become Mayor and tho
other a Judge. Perhaps, when things
quiet down, members of the commission
will stay in office long enough to know
something about tho Job.
Justlco Walling received only
181,978 votes at tho primaries, while
Charles Palmer, who ran ngainst him
for tho nomination, received 251,371. The
names of both men will go on tho ticket,
npd the voters will have to decide between
,thcm once more. If Mr. Palmer should bo
elected ho will be only a little more sur
prised than he was when ho learned tho
result of tho primary voting.
Presumably tho gentlemen who
called at the White House to urge tho
appointment of.Senator Bryan, of Florida,
to the vacancy in the Supreme Court wore
"serious, but to the rest of tho country tho
proceeding must have appeared rather In
tho nature of a joke. Senator Bryan be
comes a "lamo duck" next March. His
achievements as a statesman have earned
him a reputation far greater than that
which ho enjoyed as a lawyer, and as a
statesman Senator Bryan Is not very well
known. It Is possible that some poli
ticians have misinterpreted tho meaning
of the Brandels appointment and aro
laboring under the Impression that a Jus
ticeship Is a plum to bex plucked by an
aspiring politician who has enough pull.
Lemberg, as a Russian objective,

Yesterday the advance was within il
miles of the city, but experience Indi
cates that tomorrow they may bo cither
at tho gates or 60 miles away. The vary
ing Intensity of pressure In the south and
In the north shows clearly that a year of
comparative quiet for Austria has done
her less good than a year of strain has
for Germany. At Kovel, where General
von Llnslngen dlroctB the defense, Russian
progress is far slower than In the south.
And while both of these sectors are tho
scenes of progress for Russia, the heavy
menace of the armies under Von Hinden
burg has not been lifted. Adding to their
Austrian offensives the burden of the
Asiatic campaign, the Russians are work
ing at highest energy.
There has to be a bit of foolishness
and of fun In the most serious of crises.
For the unfortunate events In Mexico the
foolishness Is supplied by certain South
Americans, who nrpfess. to be terribly
suspicious of the motives behind our latest
activity. The fun Is In characterizing our
mobilization as "sudden." It has been
obvious for many months that the pres
ent circumstances were Inevitable, and (
has been equally obvious that President
Wnson was fighting off the moment when
he would be forced to not. Ills delays do
not Bmack of a snatching spirit, and If
aggrandizement ers the object It could
have been attained many times in the last
Ave years with less difficulty than now
attends a mere protective expedition.
South America, even Us publicists, may
rest assured. It Is the United States that
needs to worry-
American manufacturers will hope
and work for defense of their industries
Jn the delicate period, of readjustment
after the war. Part of this must be done
by legislation, but another part la left to
private initiative. No legislation can make
Iunl tlans as valuable when the demand la
vf aj they are now. Jfefther can legisla
tion siifle H tne problem of ehif ting la

of chemists, who aro developing 300 ex

somo now commodity could be made In
tho war plants, and these could bo utilised
In tho production of those by-products
on which so much of Amerlcnn prosperity
Is founded. Safety through Inventive

NO PUSSYFOOTING NOW
AN ELEPHANT wrestling with a mos
- qulto ennnot expect a laurel crown
In tho event of victory. Wo gave Cuba
Its Independence and" thereafter icsciled
It when It was about to bo squandered by
Kclf-secklng politicians. A few of our
matlncs have been maintaining tho
Government In Nicaragua for many
months. Wo nro In piocess of pacifying
Santo Domingo, that that pcatl of tho
ocean may bo snatched from mini chy nnd
made a habitable part of tho earth. Yot
merely to protect ourselves ngainst tho
dopiedatlons of a group of bandit con
spliators In Mexico tho regular army Is
Insufficient and It is necessary for Wash
ington to summon aid from the Individual
States nnd call into tho field tho National
Guard,
This Is worse than humiliating. But
for criminal uegllgonco tho regular nrmy
would have been largo enough long ago to
have nssured lcspect from Mexico and
everybody In that country. But wc have
paraded our parsimony, exulted In our
negligence nnd have virtually Invited tho
deplorable situation which exists. Wo
are, therefore, to take from our Industries
and workshops men who aro In no wiso
Inured to tho hardships of war and wo nro
to send them Into a climate which Is
often moio deadly than any bullets ever
molded. Tho enthusiasm of the citizen
soldiery Is proof that patriotism btlll
thrives and blooms, hut this docs not
lessen the criminality of national unprc
parcdncss. There Is no disposition, with hindsight
ns a mentor, to loll tho President what
ho should have done, but the success of
a Chief Executive i.s measured by re
sults. Tho facts nro that when Mr. Wil
son entered olllco an embargo prevented
oxportatlons of arms and munitions to
Mexico nnd straightway thereafter that
embargo was lifted. The thousands of
desperate men who Just now rally about
tho Carranza emblem of loot are armed
with American guns and American bul
lets. Wo havo furnished tho enemy tho
wherewithal to shoot down our young
mon, tho means to wago war, tho strength
which encourages him to defy nnd taunt
us with his threats. This may have been
statesmanship, but It is moio likely to
be written down in history as tho su
premo folly of an Administration de
cidedly somnolent In its habits.
The errors which havo been mado In
tho vnin effortto determine a Mexican
policy aio not of so great lmportanco
now, however, ns the avoidance of similar
or as vital mistakes In the near future.
Tho country Is In no mood to tolerato
blundering. It expects proper medical
provision for tho men, tho right kind of
food, elllclent leadership and a definite
policy. Tho country will want to know
what its'armlcs are lighting for, what tho
purpose of tho Administration is, and it
will want some guarantee that tho Vera
Cruz fiasco will not bo repeated. If we
aro going to clean up and pacify Mexico,
lot lis clean It up and pacify It right. But
this thing of marching up a hill and
marching down again, of Inaction at tho
very moment when action Is Imperative,
Is something for which tho country has
no stomach, It has been nnuscated enough
by weak sentlmentallsm at crucial mo
ments. Glvo "tho boys" a job to do and
they will do It, but not If they are called
off when about to achieve their purpose.
Wo rust that, with Mr. Bryan out of
tho Cabinet, decision nnd resolution will
characterize that august body of advUers.
If the contrary should prove to bo tho
case, November nnd March cannot come
too soon. A Buchanan now would bo as
much out of place as tho other Buchanan
was a half century ago.
SOME ONE IS LOAFING ON HIS JOH
THERE is a lot of talk from the City
Hall two or three times a year about
keeping the town clean. Tills year it is
announced that a circular containing a
long list of "don'ts" is to be printed for
distribution in order to let the house
holders know how to prevent the scatter
ing of litter in the streets The circular
will not contain anything new. The
regulations have long been In force. The
ordinances provide penalties for their
violation. But the streets in certain dis
tricts are still .filthy.
The remedy Is simple. The police havd
authority to arrest those responsible, and
the magistrates have power to punish
them under the law, So long as the
ordinances are disregarded with im
punity they will ,be disregarded.
What is needed is strict attention to
business by the paid Qfllclals of the city.
It Is up to. thern to protect the rest of us
from the consequences of the Indifference
and neglect of a few of us. It Is not an
adequate defense for the police to say
that they cannot abandon more important
work and devote themseves t-Q chasing
up the people who put bundles of rubbish
pn tjje curbstone without tylpg t up, or
those Who put garbage and ashen in the
same can, or those who violate the
ordinances, in other respects. If the worst
offenders, were warned and Xhen arrested
and punished when they disregarded the
warning- the little otfenders would be

STATE CARE OF INSANE
To the i:difor af Evening Ledger:
Slrj-.lt Is certain that one of the Issues
which will causo most discussion at tho
next session of tho Legislature will bo tho
proposed abandonment of county Insane
asylums and tho establishment of State
enre for nil the Indigent Insane.
Not only because ot tho Immense sum
of money involved about $3,000,000 a year
but because of tho many Interests affect
ed by any change In tho distribution of the
State's charity' fund, this question will bo
of wide public interest. It will directly
alTect 20 important counties that now havo
insane asylums.
Because tho experience of Pennsylvania
has shown that Individual counties or
municipalities cannot bo relied upon to
caro properly for their own Insane, Dr
John A. Llehty, of Pittsburgh, a member of
the State Board of Public Charities and
of Its Committee on Lunacy, has como out
strongly for tho abandonment of the present
county hospitals anu tno adoption oi mo
policy of State caro for all the dependent
insane, In institutions owned and controlled
by the State.
Dr. Llehty has aroused the keenest Inter
est In official circles throughout tho State
by his unqualified indorsement of this plan,
In view of tho fact that tho Stato Hoard will
shortly mako a detailed icpoit upon tho
same subject to Governor Brumbaugh. His
paper was first presented nt a regular
meeting of tho board, In March, when the
board voted to dlstilbute a thousand copies
of It. Later It was Incorporated In a report
of tho semiannual meeting of tho Asso
ciation of Trustees and Superintendents of
State and Incorporated Hospitals for tho
Insano and Fecble-Mlnded of Pennsylvania,
hold In Philadelphia lasit October, which has
just been published, A reprint of Dr
LIchty's paper, and of ono read at tho
Philadelphia meeting by Robert D. Drlpps,
executive secretary of tho Public Charities
Association of Pennsylvania, on the same
subject, Is also being distributed widely by
the latter association.
Dr Llehty calls attention to tho undisput
ed fact that the custodial cara and sclen
tlilo treatment accorded to tho insane In
Stato Institutions is incomparably better
than that given to tho Inmates of most of
the county and municipal nsylums. This,
ho says, Is partly becauso few of the Indi
vidual counties havo a largo enough number
of insane patients to warrant them In pro
viding the elaborate and relatively expensive
equipment, the large number of physicians,
nurses and attendants, tho special medical
and other facilities for tho proper treatment
of the Insane, the opportunities and facilities
for recreation, re-cducatlon and occupation,
all npw regarded as essential for Improving
the mental and physical condition of such
unfortunates.
Every Institution caring for the insane,
tays Pr. Llehty. should havo at least these
three essentials:
First. A bl5h"Erae' thoroughly trained
Physician ns superintendent, surrounded
by a staff pf competent experts and as
sistants, who are making psychlntry their
llfo work. This Is usually impossible, he
savu, In ft county institution under the con.
trol of a POP'' board that changes with the
change of party pupremacy, and which is
too often willing, for the sake qf a record
politically satisfactory, to economlia at the
expense of efficiency,
Second. A well equipped laboratory,
where clinical examinations of all nortu can
be made. This Is the more necessary, h
insists, because 90 per cent, of all cases
of Insanity coming under observation be
fore middle (Kb cannot be traced to a
definite change of the brain structure, but
seem to be dife rather to perverted func
tions of othr organs qf the bqdy which can
and should be Investigated in laboratories.
On)y two of th,e county hospitals have such
Third- PPPlal facilities for treatment pf
the Insane, such as adequate equipment and
personnel for hydrQtherapeutio treatment,
teruro treatment, occupational instruction
and employment. This sort of thing Is apt
to be lacking; in county Institutions, or to
be usecj w inlnielllBsntly as to be of little
value to thP-Plt'ent.
FurtUernipF na eays 'llat since the per
capita cost, under proper administration,
for the maintenance of patients is lower in
institutions having a population of from
0Q to 100. it follqws that only state insti
tuttoas can provide the best possible basil
tot wise scoiwmj
Doctor lasaty aavisea the following plan
of carrying tho State-care policy into ef
fect: First. Increase tho number of Stato In
stitutions, by promptly completing and open
ing tho novviy authorized Institution west of
tho AllcKlicnlcs, nnd by adding others more
rapidly than In tho past
Second Establish psychopathic hospitals
In Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, whero In
sano patients or thoso threatened with men
tal breakdown can bo sent for observation,
study, classification and early treatment.
Such hospltnla could well bo erected and
maintained jointly by tho State, tho city
and tho medical schools, all of which would
profit greatly by uso of tho hospitals.
Third. Acquire gradually, ns opportunity
offers, tho best of tho county Institutions,
as nuclei for Stato Institutions, and gradu
ally convert tho others . into almshouses.
especially In thoso counties where tho pros-'
one nunsnouso is unlit for habitation.
in summarizing his position, Doctor
Llehty pleads for a broad view of the whole
problem, saying
"Wo must not nllow our dens and plans
to bo'inriuonced so much by vvhat tho Stato
will do of Its own accord, or by what wo
think It would likely do, but wo must say
definitely what tho Stato must do to dis
charge its duty toward these unfortunates."

A REPLY ON SUFFRAGE
To the Editor of Vvenina Ledger:
Sir That energetic suffragist, Caroline
Katzenstein, acts vcty Indlbcicetly in mak
ing the open boast tbnt she does In her
communication In the Lvcnino Ledobu to
the effect that tho suffragist women have
got tho men under their thumb nnd that
they will havo to grant them what they
wnnt. She claims they forced tho Republi
cans to "favor extension of suffrage to
women" in their platform at Chicago, and
sho gives warning to the Democrats that
thoy had better do likewise.' Lot mo take
fillba Katzenstolu asldo and whisper In her
car: "If you know anything at all about
politics you know that political 'platforms'
nro only to catch tho foolish and unthink
ing and don't mean anything." Of course
"wo favor" (in a political platform) "tho
extension of suffrage to women" because a
lot of women with nothing much else to
do except chnso all over tho country for
It seem to want to havo it put in our po
lltical platforms, but when It comes to vot
ing for It, ah, that Is a different matter.
My dear JIIss Katzenstein, If we are a lot
of henpecked men and are afraid of you
suffragists, please don't rattle our chains
so loudly and don't lead us around In pub
lic view, fastened to your apron strings.
Have you no regard for our sensibilities?
Do you think that we like to hear the
crack of tho whip? So jou think "soft
words butter no parsnips"? Therefore you
think you can convert us to female suf
frage by resorting to the same sort of
blackmail that President Wilson so justly
condemns in the hyphenates. Assuredly If
the women f llr country who aro clamor
ing so vqclferously for the vote want to
use It as a club in order to make tho men
step oround lively and dance whenever
woman pipes, let them continue to make
It as evident as Miss Katzenstein and oth
ers do. It w)U prove to be very Instructive
to tboe other men who are wavering a
little and aro Inclined to think that women
of this kind possess good judgment and
would be of benefit to the electorate.. Con
version "with a club" Is not conducive to
much love, pn tip part Pf the one "clubbed"
for the wlelder of the "plub."

Bryn Mawr
Editor of "What Do You Know" Ono
of your recent inquirers asked your column
tho meaning of several names, including
Bryn Athyn. You answered all except Bryn
Athyn. Tho writer was recently a guest at
Bryn Athyn, spending n day there looking
over tho new buildings, tho university build
ing and Its fine library of about 25,000
volumes, many of them belonging to Svve
donborg; nlso tho now 12,000.000 Cathedral
Church, and camo in contact with tho
architect and some of tho staff; also with
John Pitcalrn, the millionaire philanthropist
at his home, Carnwood From these
sources he learned tho meaning of the name
"Bryn Athyn" it Is, 'The Hill of Co
hesion," sometimes "Tho Stone of Solidity."

Tho "Caglons." or Cajuns, as the New
International Dictionary gives It, are said
to be descended from those Frenchmen who
were expelled from Grand Pre, Nova Scotia,
and made their way south to New Orleans.
They employ a peculiar dialect, a mixture
of the Southern and French accents applied
to English. They are familiarly knpvvn In
New Orleans still and In various other
Southern cities. The name Is obviously
a corruption of "Acadlans" for whloh see
i.ongrcitovv s "jsvangeune."
