When good men die their goodness
does not perish,
But live though they are gone,
Euripide.
In,tho future, Uorlln announces,
Zeppelins raiding English towns will
have no consideration for the Hvps of
civilians. What Is this, a light opera or
R war?
Ta Secrotary bnnlcl responsible for
tho great naval-building program? Wp
think he is. But for Joscphus we should
never havo known Just how badly the
thing Is needed.
Tho Kaiser admits that he must
hare In tho responsibility for the wan
if he wero winning ho would bo likely
to be boasting that he wa In a fair way
to get her placo In the sun for Germany
nd to claim alt the credit.
With a total of only 199 cases of
tnfantllo paralysis In a city with at least
4I0,000 children under sixteen years of
ttge there is still no occasion for alarm.
But thero is occasion for the strictest
obsercanco of tho rules of tho Department
of Health, which requlro the Isolation of
alt the ailllcted children.
That recruiting tent In front of the
Union League Is all very well In its way,
but tho city would be much better gov
erned If when tho call for recruits for
downing tho gang was Issued It had been
responded to more generally by tho mem
bers of that famous organization. Some
Influential citizens who belong to it do
not even tako tho trouble to vote at the
primaries.
Mr. Brandcls, after consultation
With Chief Justice White, has declined to
erve on the President's Mexican Media
tion Commission. Can it be that the good
constitutional lawyer who presides over
the Supromo Court is unwilling that that
tribunal shall countenance the practice of
appointing diplomatic olllcers without
consultation with the Senate and tho set
tlement of international controversies by
tho dictatorial acts of tho President?
It Is not necessary to hunt for a
German plot to discover the reason for
the rlso in tho price of wheat In Chicago
' markets. A complete explanation Is con
tained in tho Government crop reports,
Which forecast a harvest of only (554.
000,000 bushels. The crop last year was
1,000,000,000 bushels and tho average for
the previous five years was 728,000,000.
Tho shortage is likely to send tho price
Btill higher.
Governor Whitman, of Now York,
may bo a weaker candidate this year than
Judge Seabury, whom tho Democrats will
run against him, but ho was not weaker
Jn 1914, when they were both candidates
before the people. Judge Seabury polled
646,000 votes for the chief Judgeship of
tho Court of Appeals with the indorsement
of the Progressives. Whitman, as candi
date for Gpvernor, polled 680,000, or 40,000
more, and had a plurality over Governor
Glynn of 145,000, as compared with Sea
bury'a plurality over his Republican oppo
nent of only 56,000, Davenport, the Pro
gresslva candidate for the governorship,
polled 45,000 votes. Colby, the Progressive
candidate for the Senate, had 61,900, tho
high water mark for the Progressive vote
two years ago. Mr, Wilson carried the
State in 3912 by 200,000 plurality, with a
total affirmative vote of 655,000; but the
Taft-Roosevelt vote was 845,000, showing
en anti-Wilson plurality of 190,000, if
the Democrats can get any consolation
out of these figures this year they are
easily pleased.
In every threatened strike thero Is
one fundamental Issue at stake money.
But it is called by different names work
ing conditions, system of contracts,
hours, etc. Tho dispute between the rail
roads and their employes started with
two main issues, the eight-hour day and
payment for overtime. The acceptance of
thu eight-hour day as a "principle," or as
a 'basis, by the railroads may make the
processes toward settlement easier, but it
does not ehange the fundamental ques
tion. To accept a seven-hour, or an eight
hour, or a nine-hour day Is paramount to
eaylng, "Let us talk no more about hours,
but about wages." For, obviously, if an
employe lets it be known that he will
bo willing to work ten or eleven hours
under the new conditions the only point
tn fixing a -working day basis Is to figure
out how much he is, to get for overtime.
The number of employes la not to be in
creased; the amount of work is to remain
the tsanie; so, for all the talk of hours, it
cornea down to dollars and cents. In
computing what the new wages are to
be employers hava a definite limit; they
-wuino pay salaries that will causa them
to operate at alos$. On the other hand,
tiuployes have no limit but he sky; which
U A perfectly good point of view, but
not practicable as a. starting point for
artrumaftt. If ee end. of a rope goes off
itUB isH-, H la weU ta get a firm;
clutch on the other end, It for no olher
reason khan that it Is Ihe onty end to fret
hold of. This explains Iho so-called con
cession of the railroads on the eight-hour
question and their remark that It "is so
obviously and naturally a pari of the
overtime question that tho two wilt have
to be handled as one problem." That
"one problem" li to dctermlno what mini
mum of profit tho railroads will agree to
take as an alternative to Federal owner
ship. As there has been no movement
among railroad employes t6 demand Gov
ernment ownership, It Is to 'be presumed
that they will deal with their employers
on tho Understanding that thoso employ
ers aro to continue to expect tho reason
able remuneration received by all who un
dertake enterprises Involving risk.
DO YOU KNOW, MR. MAYOR?
mil IS community Is tired of having the
nnstlncss nnd the Indecencies of tho
underworld paraded before it. This news
paper Is heartily sick of having such
news from City Hall that It Is nccossnry
to blue pencil half the mntter out of re
spect for tho feelings of decent peoplo
and out of respect for Itself.
It l'i doubtless of surpassing Interest to
tho horde of politicians who are In con
trol ol nfTntts to havo tho licentiousness
of the community In which they aro little
kings talked about, to have raids and
grand Jury Investigations and a lot of
"hot nlr" about how they nro going to
wlpo out the conditions which glvo them
bread nnd butter. But tho scnslblo peo
plo of this community aro not going to
be tricked by such tactics nnd their eyes
blinded to the facts.
Do you kno.v, Mr. Mayor, thnt while
you nre taking up your time trying to
find out why a Director of Public Safety,
who was appointed because ho was n
Vnro protege, is not doing his duty, tho
great trnnslt system, for which the people
voted millions, Is being held up and no
new work whatever contracted for?
Do you know, Mr. Mayor, that while
you are talking about cleaning up a city
that can be cleaned up in 21 hours by
tho mere appointment of a Director of
Public Safety who tho district knows will
do his duty, tho Important matter of tho
tax rato for next year Is being neglected,
although It Is a question requiring the
most earnest study by the best brains
available?
Do you know, Mr. Mayor, that while
you nro promising acts Instead of words,
in a situation whcio one act alone Is re
quired, the Infamous 25 per cent tax on
every gas-user In tho city of Philadelphia
continues, although the gas company
Itself has urged that tho rate bo low
ered? Do you know, Mr. Mayor, that the peo
plo have Just voted tens of millions of
dollars to be expended In public Improve
ments, tho spending of which will tax
your Ingenuity and skill to tho uttermost
If the funds are not bo wasted, while your
attention is distracted to tho considera
tion of what ought to bo more routine
by the deliberate lncfllclency of your np
polntees In olllce?
Dn you know, Mr. Mayor, that you were
elected on a platform which called for
efficient administration, aye, for a busi
ness administration, an administration
that would do things and do them In a
hurry? Do you know thnt you nre not
doing them, that you ore, In fact, being
taken off tho scent by red herrings, that
you are being led by tho nose Into a cam
paign against mere filth simply becauso
your own subordinates have allowed that
filth to collect?
Dn you know, Mr. May ir, that this Is
all poppycock, this endeavor to make It
appear that the vital thing In Philadel
phia Is the vlco situation? You can wipe
all tlmt nastluess off tho slate In ten min
utes and free youe attention for weightier
things, If you want to. But do you know,
Mr. Mayor, your neglect so far to do the
obvious thing makes men suspect that
you are not so anxious to get a clean city
as you are to get a ckan city In your
own way, which is a way that can never
be feasible?
Thero aro Indeed twelve labors of Her
cules to be performed, Mr. Mayor, The
proper policing of the vice district Is not
one of them. To a real Hercules that
would bo as easy as the killing of a
mosquito.
No, Mr. Mayor, you aro In office dedi
cated to the upbuilding of Philadelphia,
to the achievement of those great enter
prises on which tho people have set their
heart. They have provided you with the
money to go ahead. They expect you to
go ahead. They have no sympathy with
this philandering which is going on. They
hava asked for the bread of progress an$
you aro giving them a stone of exposures;
they wanted achievement and under you
there Is flaunted before them dirty linen,
the activities of tho dregs of society and
prurient tales of wanton licentiousness
within the very shadows of City Hall,
There was no open vice when you
entered office. You were free to go ahead
and do things. Get free again; throw out
and eject the men who havo prostituted
the offices in which you placed them; get
busy on the grand projects which you
haiy been authorized and commissioned
to carry ton; forget the little things and
get busy en the big things, for no greater
are your responsibilities than are your
oppoit unities splendid, yet you ae per
mitting them "to be besmeared with dirt

PROTEST AGAINST THE "MOVIE"
QUARANTINE
To the I7dltor of the Evening Ledger:
Sir Why nro motlon-plcturo theaters dis
criminated against nny more than any
other public place?
Tho Bureau of Public Health has forbid
den theaters to admit children under 10
ears of age. Has that same ban been
placed on other public places, such as
swimming pools, where n number of chil
dren nssemble In n small dressing room and
throw their clothes on top of each other
and then nil bathe in tho same water, or
playgrounds, whero a number of children
assemble nnd play in the sand or dirt whero
dogs, cats and other animals nro playing
nnd breatho that air? Department stores nre
nlso visited by n number of children, chil
dren rldo In trolley cars, go to Sunday
Bchools nnd churches und to other public
places whero peoplo assemble. There has
been no ban placed on nny other public
place than the motion-picture theater.
Tho motlon-plcturo theaters aro under a
great expense, paying largo licenses to tho
city and State governments. They have tho
houses built nccordlng to tho requirements
of tho Inw, with proper ventilation, such as
a lot of doors nnd windows nnd exhaust
fans. They aro always kept properly ven
tilated and disinfected, and especially now
more than ever. Yet tho motlon-plcturo
theater Is discriminated .against.
The authorities claim that tho reason for
placing the ban on tho motion-picture
houses is thnt they do not havo ample In
spectors to visit the various theaters and In
snect their sanitary conditions. We offer
to stand the expenso for Inspectors, to be
nppolnted during this epidemic, not only to
go around these houses, hut to place nu In
spector at the door of each theater and ex
amine every child before It enters AVe think
that any theater willing to comply with thla
should be given the authority to allow
children who pass tho Inspector to enter,
providing there Is a sign in front of his box
olllce stating that the theater is in n Ban
itary condition and under th constant
supervision of a health inspector. The pub
lie need not fear to enter the theater having
such a sign displayed.
It Is needless to add that the local thea
ters are now experiencing a great monetary
loss, becauso pot only do the children stay
away, but the parents also stay away. Un
less something Is done soon to remedy this
condition a number of theaters will ba
forced to go out of existence. Not only will
thev lose every dollar invested there, -but it
will als? mean a loss of employment for
thousands of persons who make a living
there.
Again we ask the question: Why are motion-picture
theaters discriminated against
any more than any other place?
Assuring the public of our hearty co
operation at all times, and asking for jus
tice only, We remain,

SINGLE TAX PANACEA '
To the Editor of the Evening Ledger:
Sir in your comment on my "free trade"
letter you erroneously class It as a "char
acteristic Democratic argument-""
The Republican party favors a high pro
tective tariff, while the Democratic party
favors a somewhat lower or revenue tariff,
but both of them prefer to tax private
property the products of human toil
rather than to tax land values, which are
the product of population's presence, desire
and expenditure. Absolutet free trade Is
a characteristic single tax party argument.
The single tax party. If given the power,
would take for public purposes only the
values which In morality and Justice be
long to the public. If this were done no
one would have the power tochargo labor
and capital for the mere permission to
work. It would free all production en
tirely from taxation.'

Up through the farms of rye.
Under the arching hemlock boughs, ,
Under the laughing sky,
Out through the maze where the muskrats
hide,
Drawn like a stiver clew,
Clear to the buttressed mountainside
Goes the trail of the little canoe.
Clean blue flags in stately ranks
Stand where the Bhadows gleam ;
Ferns, grow thick on the mossy banks
Edging the deeper stream;
Tanagers dash In the vaulted leaves
Where, fajnt-shlmmerlng through,
A. drowsy pattern the sunlight weaves
'On the trail of the little canoe.

ANTI-DUMPING CLAUSE "WORDS.".
Of the anti-dumping clause he Bald;
Wo had, or rather we have, In tfct
present revonuo bill n provision called
tho "anti-dumping provision," which re
flects tho dread of our opponents o!
that which Is very sure to follow the"
ending of tho Kuropcan war and the
return of tho men now In the trenches
to production. They said, "We wlj'
protect American Industry." How do
thoy go ubout It? Tills is so Intorestlai
that I must refer to it again. The;
have a long section, which Is known
In common parlanco as the nntl-dump.
Ing section. It Is full of words. I have L
had some cxpcrlcnco in dealing with (
statutes, and If that statute works It '
wlllbo a tremendous surprise. '
Mr. Hughes Bald tho bill had a orovtio
attached "so big and Its Jaws nro so enor
mous that It virtually swallows that act,"
Tho net, ho snld, proved tho bad faith
of tho Democratic party In regard to the
tariff, ns, with proper protection for Indus
try, it would not bo necessary.
"I propose st vviso tariff without abuses,"
said Mr. Hughes in his speech In the Ta
coma stadium,' "but frankly a tariff to "build
and maintain. American Industries."
Mr. Hughes revlowed Democratic tariff
leglslntlon and the Democratic platform
plank of 1012 relating to the tariff.
WAP. COVERS MANY SINS.
"Our opponents said they would 'reduce
tho cost of living," ho said. "Behold the
result, Through nn unfortunate develop
ment In the Republican party, which Is now
happily healed, our opponents got Into
power, and they did not reduce the cost of
living. Wo don't proposo that tho short
comings of the Administration with respect
to the 'protection of American Industrie
shall be forgotten. They want to foreet
them. Thoy think thnt tho European war,
llko charity, covers a multitude of sins."
Senttlo last night accorded Hughes the
greatest demonstration ho has yet received.
Ulght thousand Jammed tho hall and a
thousand more Jostled outsldo 'poundtpg
vainly on the doors for admission. Even
above Hughes's voice could be heard this
din of tho disappointed ones. The audience
cheered every shaft which Hughes shot at
tho Democratic Administration, Stimulated
by the warmth of the reception, the nomine
gave them what members of his party de
glared was his best .speech of the tour.
Vociferous cheers Rreoted Hughes's first
direct reference during the tour to Roose
velt, He did net mention the name of the,
former President, but the reference, was
unmistakable, it was In connection with a,
satirical shaft at the Democratic claim of
"excitability" when' preparedness first be
ennio nn Issue. Hughes tnlds
"Then a stalwart flguro appeared before
the Amorlcan people, told them a few
things and then the Administration changed
its mind."
Hughes bitterly assailed Democratic con
trol of array and navy, promised ''compe
tent and efficient men" In the array and
navy portfolios if hq was elected. .
