Tho Phillies ought o thank the ad
men for having diverted our attention.
If wo had been dopondlij? upon our base
ball teams for entertainment this last
Week- 1
A man spent all day yesterday about
tho busness of getting- his son enlisted.
"I didn't ralao my- boy to bo undisci
plined," he sa.d. "Tho army's tho best
school I can think of."
War and love always were good pals,
and a war wedding Is properly as popular
as a brass band. If wo'.ro to call our war
"police work," It won't affoct the facts,
but It Will reduce tho number of hasty

"Blast" Is a moderate English way
Of expressing a moderate English feeling
ef displeasure. They, will have to do more
than swear if they are to get anywhere
In France.
The Russian mujlks, being denied
tha dangerous pleasure of the poor, which
is drinking vodka, have turned to tho
dangerous pleasure of the rich, which
Is drinking cologne. Apparently tho war
has not changed human nature to the
extent of .being "born again."
The water pageant on the Schuyl
kill last night revealed new possibilities
in the use of tho river and should serve
to remind Phlladelphlans of the splendid
opportunities we havo for outdoor demon
strations. The size of the crowds which
turned out to see it surprised every one.
If it had been known that from 300,000
to C00.000 persons would rush to the Park,
beginning an hour or more before dinner
time, a longer stretch of the river could
have been used, so that all could have
Been what was going on. The managers
will know better next time. They are
now confirmed in their belief that it pays
to advertise.
For tho first time In the history of
the world an extemporaneous speech, de
livered in the open, was reported for a
newspaper yesterday by dictograph. In
pursuance of Its usual policy of Initiative
and speed, the Evenino Ledger, so soon
as it learned 'that the President had not
prepared his speech In advance, deter
mined to procure it with tho utmost speed
as welt aa accuracy. A dictograph tyas
therefore, brought into use. Every word
tho President uttered was reproduced in
stantly in the Evenino Ixoacn office,
where expert stenographers Immediately
transcribed it and shot the copy to the
linotypes, Three minutes after the Presi
dent finished speaking his address was
In typo. Thus in Philadelphia yesterday
was begun a new method of reporting, a
method beyond comparison both for speed
and accuracy.
The President's speech delivered
in Independence Square was a pleas
ant and courteous response to the in
vitation of tho advertising men to ad
dress them. It was characterized by the
felicity of phrase for which Mr. Wilson
is distinguished, and it set forth in an
admirable way tho principles of integrity
and fairness which every one believes
should guide in both politics and busl
neae, In short, it was a delightful dis
sertation on things out of the realm of
itopute. An effort was evidently made
to avoid any political declaration and to
refrain from discussing any of the ques
tions of governmental pol&y about which
tho nation is most curlpus. The country,
which watt waiting on ths President's
words to learn something about the Mex
ican crisis, will have to wait till another
-ttncanlnn before it la satisfied.
NOW that It's "alt over," now that "tho
tumult and the shouting dies, tho
captains and tho kings depart," why stop?
Tha fine thing about holiday time is
tht it Is different from other times. If
every day in the year were a holiday
thoro would bo no holidays. But this
time of accelerated vitality and vvaclous
Interest, this wtck of fresh realization
that "tho world Is bo full of n numbor
of things, I'm sure we should all bo aa
happy as kings" this has not been a holi
day at all. It lias been a week of most
serious work, and It Is necessary, In after
math, to rewrite tho old adago In a new
way. Wo should no longer say, "All
work and no play makes Jack a dull
boy." Wo should say, rather, that "All
work without play makes Jack a dull
boy." For that work which Is worth doing
at all is worth doing with Joy.
Tho Joy of work that Is the first and
firmest lesson of tho convention of tho
publicity men. To a "good many pcoplo
tho word "advertising" has meant noth
ing more or loss than money-grubbing.
But money-grubbers nro tho saddest of
mortals. No ono Is moro miserable than
tho miser. But tho 10,000 who have been
with us seemed primarily to onjoy the
business of living and working with n
zest that had nothing to do with monoy,
for very few of thorn were rich men
tho great bulk of them woro men of
modest Income. Then, If tho money
grubbing theory must fall through, In
what lay the reason for this pleasure In
business which other businesses too rarely
emulate? Astronomers do not parade
clad In dark purplo garments, spangled
with tinsel moons and stars. Botanists
do not with music and with song walk
Chestnut Btreet with frpnds nloft and vine
leaves In their hair. What Ib the secret
of this fun? Is it that publicity work is
easy?
No; tho secret Is that publicity work
is tho hardest kind of work; it is the
fiercest of competitions. Its reverses are
cruel and devastating and Its con
science must have the keonnesa of a
blade. Ono who "plays" with publicity is
playing with fire, as every ono knows who
looks at the wreckage of political careers
that marks the track of the men who
seek to fool all of tho pcoplo all of the
time. It Is bocause publicity Is a-hard
and earnest fight that it Is so Jovial a
fight. It is the mean and unfair fights
that are no fun. Publicity Is work that is
so closely allied to the battlo of life Itself
that none but thoso who havo a stomach
for that battle can go Into It.
Tho city .has shown that It can enjoy
work-play and play-work as well as lt3
10,000 visitors. It was able to do so with
a clean conscience because It had Just
emerged from a two years' battle In which
the very thing the publicity men stand
for was victorious. Tho people fought to
make tho city public instead of private.
They won. So why Btop? Everything
Is not "done, though the groundwork is
splendidly laid, with tho program of city
Improvements equipped and In the saddle.
There are a thousand details the desire to
master which must pormeato tho spirit of
every working man and working woman
in Philadelphia to keep the level of life
here up to our own Improvements. The
stately piles of marble wo have willed
must rise in a city uniformly appreciative.
For a higher level of life Is not a level at
all If all aro not on that lovel. Nay,
every Improvement that is accomplished
but brings to the foro a scoro of other
Improvements. If you win better streets
you must also win cleaner streets; if you
win cleaner streets you must win safer
streets; if you win good conditions for
BChool children and working children you
must win better parents,, better homes, In
dustries adjusted to giving tho rewards
of labor to thoso whose hard work merits
them. The thing mounts up. Buccess
adds burdens; only the downward path Is
easy.
Take a thing that seems superficial as
a reform to make Philadelphia "first," let
us say, as the city where tho police are
most courteous, best set-up and efficient In
America. Suppose you have taken the
first stops to make this truo. Imme
diately you have Btlrred up a hornets' nest
of new problems, Into which you must
leap with dashing vigor for a harder fray.
For the police would never keep on being
polite If their masters in City Hall were
to keep on being only politicians. You
will find, then, that the only way to keep
men who are merely politicians out of
City Hall is for every man' to be a poli
tician; for it is only when everybody is
in politics that the rule of the politicians
Is ended. It Is the same way in every
line of thought every good that Is ac
complished cries for another good; every
evil that la cast off reveals another evil.
The motive power of the desire for this
endless chain of Improvement is publloity.
The only kind of publicity the city
wants is that which makes more publlo
what is in its nature public, and no indus
try or clvlo movement can giye us good
publicity that does not put publlo gain
above private gain, Just aa patriotism
lis never sound unless a man has learned
tq fee it for his own city, so it Is with
publicity. Publicity must begjn at home,
Out o time't womb iftoli come a day,
When dear-bought peace aj!J "stir up

irAttnY TirrEn
THAT second stanza which all you
folks assembled in Independence
Square yesterday fell down upon goes like
this:
My native country, thee.
Land of tho noble, free,
Thy nnmo I love;
.1 love thy rocks and rllK
Thy woods and templed hills
My heart with rupture thrills
Like that above.
The best thing said nt tho ad convention,
perhaps, was this kernel of wisdom, put
forth by Vlco President N. C. Kingsbury, of
tho Amorlcan Telcphono and Telegraph
Company: "Advertising Is a school In which
It Is ensy to matriculate and Impossible to
gradunte," And many scholars only man
age to succeed by grace of being constantly
"kept In."
THERE wore flvo young men lined up
In front of tho ofllcorwho hnd chargo of
tho recruiting station at Broad and Chest
nut streets. Tho crowd outside could seo
thorn through the window. As they lifted
their right hands nnd ropeatcd tho oath
of alleglanco many admiring remarks
woro passed upon them. Tho lad on tho
right of tho lino got tho lion's share nnd
ho deserved all ho got Indeed, ho was
mich a splendid looking fellow and seemed
so terribly In earnest that for an Ignoble
moment wo entertained the suspicion that
ho was a decoy. In a few minutes tho
ceremony was over und tho flvo disap
peared. It was a good thing for tho
crowd to havo seen.
BUT tho shame of It all, the nettling
thought that this wnr that threatens
Isn't worth tho loss of even ono of the
U. S. A.'s fino youngstors, almost per
suaded us to give spaco to a long bit of
verso sent in by A. M. J., of which this
Is tho last stanza:
God bless the men at Washington
For trying every way
To savo our boys from cruel hands
That torture but for play.
For If they go, tho bravest ones
May fill nn unmarked tomb,
And for what purpose?" Who can say?
So keep tho boys at home.

A CASE FOR MERCY
EVEN with the precedent of folly plied
on folly in the execution of Irish
rebels, there is some little cause to believe
that Sif Roger Casement will escape the
sentence of death pronounced upon him.
There are two sufficient reasons why exe
cution should be first postponed and then
commuted entirely. The first is the over
Whelming feeling1 against the first Irish
executions, England's only defense then
was that she did not dare to appear afraid
before Ireland. Her legal right, though
established, wa? certainly secondary io
what she mistakenly considered her moral
neceasittM. Those nocasUUs no longer
exist and, tha grave danger? of a split in
the Cabinet, already visible, would only
be intensified by immediate execution of
Sir fiosttfa sentence. Tie other reason

THERE are many wonderful facts con
nected with the building of tho Pan
ama Canal, but probably tho two most
wonderful facts are closely connected
with advertising.
When De Lesseps had completed his
nchlovcmont of opening tho Suez Cannl,
tho Panama Canal Company secured his
services as engineer for the Panama
operations. Tho vPanama Canal Com
pany was really a private corpora
tion and It proposed to securo Its capital
from public subscription. It propnred to
issue the customary ndvortlsoments call
ing for tho purchnso of shores, but Do
Lesseps refused to assent.
"No!" he said. "All Franco knows that
I built tho Suez Cannl. Why advertise?
Why plead for subscriptions? Just tell
them that Do Lcssops has undertaken
to build tho Panama Canal and thoy will
flock to purchase shares. Besides, it is
not dignified to advertise!"
As a consequence tho subscriptions
woro disappointing, and from that point
thore began a series of events which
ended In tho failure of tho company and
tho dlsgrnco of Do Lesseps.
"Why!" exclaims Bunau-Varllla, who
recounts tho Incident, "didn't Lamartlno
say that ovon God Himself needs bells!"
Thero Is, Incidentally, a special appli
cation In the latter remark for those who
think that church advertising is a modorn
Idea.
But tho Becond incident was odder
still, and It has to do with tho very
Bunau-Varllla referred to.
Ho was In Washington, representing
tho interests of tho Panama Canal Com
pany which wished tho United States to
purchase tho Panama Canal Company
rights nnd properties rather tljan con
struct a canal by tho Nlcarnguan route.
But Congress had about made up Its mind
that tho Nlcaraguan route should be
chosen, and tho final vote was dolayecT
becauso of some prolonged debato con
cerning whether or not thoro were vol
canoes on the Nlcarnguan routo..
Tho opponents of tho latter route In
sisted that thero wero volcanoes, making
It dangerous for tho United States to
spend monoy on that routo.
Somewhat discouraged nt tho outlook,
Bunau-Varllla left tho Capitol and walked
up Pennsylvania avenue puzzling his
brains to think of a way to prove to tho
members of Congress that there really
wero volcanoes on tho Nlcarnguan routo.
Suddenly his eye caught a display In a
storo window, and ho stopped astonished.
Then ho rushed Into tho storo and pur
chased ovcry one of the articles shown
In tho window, and learned from the
proprietor where similar articles could
bo procured In Washington.
"That night," says Bunau-Varllla, "I
sat up until I could mall ono of tho ar
ticles to ovcry Congressman to reach him
by tho first mail beforo Congress con
vened, nnd when tho members of Congress
held In their hands what I had mailed
to each they had Indubitable testimony
to the effect that thero wero volcanoes In
Nlcarngua."
Tho "testimony" was In tho sliapo of
a postage stamp of Nicaragua lssuo hav
ing an engraving of a Nlcaraguan vol
cano. So you seo It a great Frenchman had
not thought newspaper advertising un
dignified France would today have tho
honor of operating the Panama Canal,
and tho profit from It; and If Bunau
Varllla, another great French engineer,
had not belloved In mall-order advertising,
ho could not havo sold tho Panama Canal
Company rights to tho United States.

WHY HE DIDNT ENLIST.
To the Editor of Evenino Ledgrr:
Sir I have heard that a cartajn gentle
man In Philadelphia (no doubt a very pa
triotlo gentleman) made the remark .last
weok that Pennsylvania had been disgraced
in the present crisis by the small number of
volunteers who enlisted In the National
Guard. As one of the class held responsible
for this disgrace. I wish to offer a word In
our defense. Those of us who did not enlist
In the N. O. P. had our reasons, which did
not necessarily include cowardice or lack
of patriotism. I will give my own reasons
which I know will answer for a large num.
tnr of other young men.
In the first place, the status of the Na
tional Ouard, as related to the National
Government, has not, I believe, been defi
nitely established. Tn make my Point clear
I cannot do better than cite an example
that came to my own notlc. Several young
men of my acquaintance who did tnlUt In
the N. O. P. did so becauaa they frankly
believed that the laws would not permit of
sending the Guard beyond the borders of
the country, and thus thoy would be sub
ject to less dangerous duties than If they
waited and answered a general call for vol
unteers. With such actions before our
eyes do you wonder that others of us hesi
tated T
Uy other reason has to do with tha mat
ter of training. The N. Q. P- U not com
posed of highly trained soldiers, but they
are trained to some extent, and ar capabje
of being far more efficient than totally' un
trained men. To mix" trl4 sad un
trained men in service cannot but Impair
the efficiency of the trained meo. Eo
great many of the young men of Pennsyl
vania, and, no doubt, of other States also,
coastdtr that they cji do their duty to
better advantage by awaiting th almost
inevitable cn for veluatwM. aflat auawer
laj irm tUy cab hi jyi law tuuts
composed entirely of untrained men, go
i-mjgh the usual courao of training, and
'jr active service In a position to be use-
to the country at large With all due
j.ipect to the gentleman first mentioned, I
cannot help charging him with speaking
prematurely.
When the call for volunteers does come",
as come It must, we young men of Penn
sylvania will answer it In such a manner
that no one will think of repeating that
charge. With the honor of "Old Olory" at
stake, we will not hesitate to do our duty.
The men of Pennsylvania have not caused
her fair name to ba clouded with dishonor
In past wars, nor will they'do eo now. Im
pulsiveness In word or action Is not wise at
any time. O would recommend that last
statement as a motto to the gentleman who
Inspired this letter).

' MAKE TWO NIGHTS OP IT
To the Editor of Evening Ledger;
Sir The greatest thing that Philadelphia
was prlvllBd to behold In the last 60 years
waa that pagean as tha ad man passed
under review. The displays were truly mar
velous. Yet there is a point I have in mind
that might possibly be of future use to. the
ad men. It la to divide the parade Into
two parta one part on review on a separate
night
In that way tha parade, which was a
great one, would not be so hard on the curb
slanders to view-, would take, two hours at
a time. Instead of four, as was tha case
Monday night, and would be of greater bene
fit to tha chosen city. Allow the business
men of th lucky city to occupy the Jime
light the urst night, thereby working up
some ad vert Ulna spirit on some who can
not as IU UneflU, and let the incoming
delegates of tha many other cMm hva full
away tha seevnd sight At that rate aMain

Even as a lovely flower '
So fair, so pare thou art;

When the Century Began
editor of "What Do You Know" Could
you tell me the exact day on which the
20th century began? Have you any au
thority on hand for such answer, or It la
your own opinion? A. S.
Opinions vary as to whether the cen
tury can be said to have started January
1. 1000, or January 1, 1001. As the exact
date of Christ's birth Is uncertain, some
saying It occurred In 5 B. C. (according to
our reckoning), others In 7 B. C, nothing
Is to be gttinad from arguing about the be
ginning of the Christian era. In a book or
Hllalre Belloo's, "The Path to Rome," the
author remarks that the Pope said the
century should be considered as beginning
with the first of the year 1000. Many
argue that the first of the year 1901 should
be so considered, on the principle that the
first year ot any century should be called
the year 1 and the last 100. As for au
thorlty, the discussion Is neither of moral
nor of solentlflo Importance, and does not
call for authorities, '
