THE wclcomo guests of tho city this
week must have heard long ago that
Philadelphia was asleep. It Is an old Joke,
but the ad men must bo wondering on
"whom tho Joko Is. Apparently Philadel
phia can do asleep what most cities have
to stay Up nights to do.
But thero Is moro than a Joko In the
thought of a sleeping Philadelphia. ,Thoro
Isruth In it. Tho eternal truth Is that
sleeping men havo dreams, and, waking,
make those dreams real. There Is tho
sleep of sloth and the sleep which pre
cedes an outburst of creative' energy.
Our guests havo come a little too early
to seo for themselves tho tangible results
of Philadelphia's slumber.
THEY ncod to know what overy Phlla
dolphlan knows of tho loans recently
authorized and of tho work which Is
under way. Last May tho voters of tho
city overwhelmingly Instructed their
Councils to borrow nearly $115,000,000.
Tho greater part of tho loan provides
for a network of subways and elevated
systoms which will, under a proposed
universal transfer system, make tho city
a unit, so that thoso who llvo at its
farthest confines will bo close to Its con
tro in time nnd convenience. The demands
of tho port aro met, newer systems nio
Improved, grado crossings eliminated,
boulevards extended, tho city's institu
tions enriched. Boyond this, nppropila
tlon was made for completing from City
Hall to Falrmbunt Park a generous botilo
vard, tho Parkway, around which tho
civic and artistic life of tho community
is to centre. A municipal Art Museum,
liberally designed to house tho collections
for which tho city is famous; a new
Library and a Convention Hall of Bplcn
dld proportions are Included. These aro
parts of tho city. The city thinks of them
as realities, and tho visitor who Is not In
tho city's "traditions must bo made con
scious of them.
They must know that tho real Philadel
phia is hidden under a veil. Beneath tho
streets on which they pass and repass
thero Is another city which Is slowly but
Inevitably pushing Itn way upward. Under
tho paving stones there Is the substantial
fabric of what was once a dream nnd Is
now n reality. Tho street cars which take
delegates from City Hall to tho University
aro but forerunners of the swift and cer
tain carriers which are even now being
prepared. Tho dingy and Insufficient
buildings are relics of another time, and
already their successors aro shaking the
old foundations. The whole city Is llko
a picturo on the magic screen, fading into
a brighter nnd mora beautiful city of tho
future.

THE future Is not distant. It is around
the corner, and tho city is already at
tho ond of the old street. The projects of
a quarter of a century were ma'do realities
within- two years. The Iron bonds ot ob
struction melted In tho fires fed by un
sparing publicity. Advertising of tho
city's needs, advertising of tho city's op
portunities, advertising of purposes, hon
est and dishonest; advertising which was
eagerly sought and which did not spare
those who sought chiefly to avoid it, was
tho forco which made tho new city possi
ble. x
The old city turned toward tho centre.
Its life was around City Hall. The new
city will radlato from the centre. Its llfo
will bo In tho whole circle.
At one point thoro Is growing tho new
port of Philadelphia. In tho appropria
tions triumphantly voted by the city
thero Is an Item giving $10,000,000 to this
work, but the spirit which has determined
that Philadelphia shall have a port worthy
of her Industry Is priceless. This year,
crowded and huddled as It must be, ships
from 20 nations registered at the port in
flvo days. Tho city is making such a
registry normal.

denied Us share. In fact, there have been
no sections.
THERE is an Idea that material things
can bo seen and the "higher" things
are Invisible, It Is an answer to that and
a striking Indication of the new Philadel
phia spirit that the transit and port loan
and the loan for civic improvements, for

for the Parkway and Convention Hall,
were passed on the same day. They were
thought of as two parts of the same
thing, each complete in itself. It was as

HERE Is tho story of a stonemason
who onco had our nation by tho cars
and out of whoso mysterious caso thero
grow a strong political party which
threatened to elect a President of tho
United States.
This mechanic's namo was James Mor
gan. Ho piled his trodo In Batavia, N, V.,
but did not gain a very enviable record
for steady habits. Ho was wont to look
upon tho wlno when it was not only red,
but yollow, and ho did not feel deep pangs
of conscience when ho failed to pay his
bills. Ho worked only whon ho wished
to nnd botween employments ho roved
about with a carefree heart.
Ho was a native of Virginia and had
fought with Jackson at New Orleans, an
oxperlcnco which gave him much oppor
tunity for boasting at tho barrooms,
where his score was chalked upon tho
shutter.
For somo reason he grew to foster a
bitter hatred of tho Masonic order, which
before and slnco the eplsodo about to bo
rolated has been viewed with general
esteem. He was a man of 60 when his
anti-Masonic bitterness renchod the de
gree of throats to publish a book exposing
the sccrots of tho society. And although
at first regarded' as Idlo bluster, those
threats materialized. Tho book was
printed at Batavia In 1826, and Immedi
ately caused great local excitement.
Moat of tho leading citizens there, as else
where, were Masons, and they resented
Morgan's attack upon their beneficent
brotherhood.
Jailed for Larceny
Shortly afterward, when Morgan was
arrested for debt, he made the accusation
that he was the victim of persecution at
the hands of tho Masons. His troubles
then commonced to multiply in rapid
order. On September 11 a body of strange
men coming from Canandalgua seized
him and returned with him to that place,
.where he was put In Jail on a charge of
larceny.
At 9 the next night those who had ar
rested him set him free, but he had
barely passed out of the Jail door when
six mysterious personages seized him and
hurried him to a waiting carriage. In
this he waa driven hurriedly toward
Rochester, but at various points pn tho
road his captors were, by prearrango
ment, relieved by relays of fast horses,
which rushed the prisoner to Fort Niag
ara, a deserted military post at tha mouth
of the Niagara River Here Morgan was
locked up In tho powder magazine. Be
yond that point his movements haven
never been, traced, although the acumen
of tho most shrewd minds of the nation
werQ concentrated upon the mystery for
a generation.
As soon as It bocatno definitely known
that Morgan had disappeared, the citizens
of Batavia held, a public meeting wherein
It was openly charged that, because the
Masons had made eager attempts to sup
press his book, the finger of suspicion
should be pointed at them. Tho meeting
appointed a committee and charged It
with the duty of solving the mystery..
They unearthed evidences of what they
claimed to liave been a well-organized
conspiracy, embracing many secret
agents and backed by money, Meetings
were held also In other places. Public
excitement spread throughout tha coun
try and agitators who, for ona reason or
another, opposed tha Masonic order, en
deavored tq Inflamo the multitude to a
belief that the brotherhood was responsi
ble, for the crime, and all sorts of absurd
theories were scattered broadcast. Old
friend flew at each other's throats and
both religion and politics became Involved
in the torrent ot calumny and recrimina
tion that resulted.
Aa a. eentiel to this excitement a Btrtinir

By JOHN ELFRETH WATKINS
camo Into being tho anti-Masonic party,
first known officially In town meetings In
tho spring of 1827. Spellbinders, work
ing In this party's Interest, went about
tho country preaching that no Mason
ivns worthy to receive the votes of free
men, and It beenmo the creed of this
party that mefribers of tho brotherhood
should be everywhere excluded from pub
lic office. After flvo years this movement
had spread ftom New York Stato Into
other Commonwealths, with the result
that in 1832 a national antl-Mnsonlc con
vention was hold In Philadelphia. Wil
liam Wirt, of Virginia, was'nomlnated for
President, to run against Androw Jack
son nnd Henry Clay. In tho succeeding
election Vermont was carried for tho
party, which polled a considerable vote
elsewhere, but It soon went out of exist
enco without avenging or solving the
mystorlous fato of Morgan. A corpso dis
covered at the mouth of tho Niagara
River a year after Morgan's disappear
anco was for a while behoved to havo
beon his. The Masons claimed that It
was the body of one Timothy Munroe,
but Thurlow Weed, ono of tho Insti
gators of tho antl-Masonlo movement, re
marked, "It is a good enough Morgan for
us until you bring back the one you car
ried off!" According to one sjory, the
vamsnea man naa been sent Into Canada
and charged to remain there In silent
exile tho remainder of his days on pain
of death. Others said that he had been
turned over to a band of Indians, charged
with tho duty of keeping him a prisoner
as long a's he lived. Thero is another
story that ho hW been taken in a row
boafV.it upon Lake Ontario, where, after
his throat had been cut, his body was
sunk. In 'later years a wanderer from
tho Orient claimed that he had mot Mor
gan In Smyrna, and his appearance In
other foreign States was reported from
time to time.
After publlo excitement had settled
down unbiased persons generally accept
ed the belief that If he waa disposed of
by Masons the crime rested upon the
shoulders of only a few Irresponsible
zealots.
In all probability the searchlight of
truth will never penetrate the cloud
which has bo long hidden him from his
brother man. '

Poisonous Gases s
Editor of "What Do You Know" What
Is known of the nature and use of -pol--sonous
gases-used by the Germans?
L. O.
The gases which have been used from
time to time since their Introduction by the
.' napmnria In on ogfnrvti- nri ilia T1lftaK KntAA
Ypres In May, 1916, have been described as
chlorine gas and bromine gas. It Is re
ported that the Russians have a new gaB,
moro powerful than, any hitherto used, ca
pable of overcoming a soldier In spite of
his respirator. There aro various ways of
using the gas. It may be brought to the
front In steel cylinders under enormous,
pressure and released when the wind la
right. Sir John French reported that In
the first attack at Ypres the gas was re
leased from pipes laid before the trenches
and swept over the British lines In green
clouds 40 feet high. In other cases It has
been reported that the gas was mtxed In the
trenches. The effect of the German gas
was to produce acute bronchitis.

freestone, and was unpalnted; but In 1811
the British army occupied Washington and
burned, with other public buildings, the
President's house, leaving It a blackened
ruin. The house was rebuilt on the same
site, and the same walls were used In Its
construction, but they were so discolored
by smoke that, on the suggestion ot General
Jackson, they were painted white, not only
to Improve their appearance, but In tokcn
of the successful defiance of British fire
by the American Republic- The mansion
soon became the 'White House" In the
mouths of the people, on account of its
dazzling color, and from that day to this it
has been repainted white.
