AN UNLISTED PLOT OF CITY
PROPERTY
TUB Bureau of City Property keeps
tali on tands nnd buildings that tho
city owns. It Is not givon to building
castles In tho rilr. It has had enough
to do to keep tabulated and In ropalr our
material possessions and ttioir nxturcs.
But on Saturday tho bureau found a
new plot of city property hitherto un
llitcd, That was In tho offlco where 250
men and women gathered at noon for
prayer, a parcel of tlmo and spaco not
to bo bounded by figures In ledgors or
calculated in squaro feet nnd hours ot
labor. Office employes, laborers, clean
ers, bureau officials all who work under
Chief Cummlskey without question of
rank or precedence bared nnd bowed
their heads In supplication that tho sur
gical operation their chlof was to under
go In that hour might bo successful.
Later they learned that a marked im
provement In his condition had come
about tho tlmo their thoughts were with
him In his trouble.
There is no record of such a meeting
In any other great city on such an occa
sion. It bos attracted attention In all
parts of Philadelphia, in tho suburbs and
In other cities. It wns spontaneous, It was
unanimous. It has shown how shallow
it Is to lump 10,000 men and women
In tho category of "city employes" as tho
massed subservient tool of politicians,
praying, If praying at nil, only to hold
Jobs, and material and without Individ
uality of mind or soul. Tho world tins
been too busy counting votes nnd gunx.
Ono would think thero wcro no rules
savo thoso of machinery nnd forco, nnd
tho laws seem to tiiko for granted that
tho only thing men can bo countod on
to bo Is to bo selfish.
Tho prayers that havo so unexpectedly
como from tho cold, grny pllo of City
Hall aro not an added touch of cdlcloncy,
nor a precedent for a custom to becomo
staled by forced lip service It does not
mattur If tho thing novor happens again
In Just that way. That Incident was por
feet In Itself nnd transforming of tho
lives of all who took a part In It,
or It was nothing nt nil and not worthy
to bo recorded. It Is best not to tamper
with tho heart. It Is host not to say
or to do too much offhand nbou tho mys
teries ot Its great adventures.
DON'T SCATTER THE MONEY
SECRETARY DANIELS has reached
tbo logical conclusion that it battle
ships aro to bo built moro generally In
tho navy yards tho Lcaguo Island yard
must bo equipped for that purpose. Tho
naval appropriation law authorized him
to Improvo nnd equip eight navy yards
for shipbuilding and appropriated $6,000,
000 for tho purpose. It directed him to
provldo for tho construction of capital
ships hero apd nt Norfolk, Boston nnd
Bremerton. Ills announcement thnt
Lcaguo Island Is to bo Improved Is ac
companied by tho suggestion that an
additional appropriation may bo neces
sary, but thero is nothing In the law
which roqulres him to divert tho nmount
already appropriated to tho other yards.
Tho law puts Norfolk first and Phila
delphia second In tho list of yards to bo
Improved. It Is reosonablo to assume
that Congress Intended them to bo con
sidered In this order. It has been esti
mated that J2.000.000 would put the yard
hero in shupo to build as big a ship as
can bo constructed in any private yard.
It would bo better economy to spend that
sum here at onco so that tho work cf
shipbuilding could begin at tho earliest
posslblo date, than to spond a little in all
tho yard? without preparing any ot t.iem
for tho work hat Is to bo done.
THREE QUESTIONS
pERSHING'S column, U-boats nnd tho
t Supreme Court around thoso throo
ccntor the big problems that confront
the Administration.
Tho Mexicans want Pershing to with
draw, or, falling that, to tako orders from
a .Mexican commander. They nr.o not
likely to hnvo those bumptious requests
granted. Carranza must either consent
to tho loss of prestige he sees In acqut
escenco to unqualified American occupa
tion of Moxlcan soil or olso withdraw his
commissioners. That would mean no
Immediate Injury to either country, but
it would leave tho Mexican trouble a
thorn In tho Administration's sldo Indefi
nitely. Tho U-boat situation is strangely dovo
talted with America's sharo in making
peace. The flvo critical submarine enses,
one of them involving the loss of six
American lives, aro Just bad enough to
start a now controversy with Germany,
and not quite bad enough to make a Wil
son peace move Impossible. It Is coii
ceivablo that subtle German statesmen
would llko to see America enter the war,
because, entering without much bitter
ness against Germany, sho would imrno
dlately, as ono ot the Allies, inject a'
most generous forctfof, sentiment among
them. Germany welcomes a league to
enforce peace because, If America takes
up ine sworu, sno win do in herself a
league to enforce a rieaco In which tho
Ames mil navo 10 come nair way, which
Is Just what thoy do not want to do. Mr.
Wilson, Beelng Jn his re-election a triumph
of ultra-pacific sentiment, will probably
take advantage of that not to press Ger
many too hard, while exerting every pres
sure on both sides to come to an agree
ment. All will be well for Mr. Wilson's rail
road plana if tha Adamson wage increase
law Is not declared unconstitutional.
Three members of the Supreme Court aro
Wilson appointees. Molteynmus was a
member of the Cabinet. Brandels doubt,
less shares tha President's views may
even have had a hand in framing the law.
Clarke la said to be "progressive" In rail
road regulation. Two more members of
the Court would have to be won over.
But four of tho six whose views cannot
be guessed were born in tho forties and
belong to tho "old school," to which dam
son fcvw wers unthinkable. Much may

THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE
Use of Opium and Its Derivatives Said to Be Unnecessary in Medi
cine What tho Women Did in the
Elections
IS DOPE NECESSARY?
To tha Editor of tho Kvrnlng Ledger:
Sir I havo read various comrnunlcatlons
In your estimable Journal on tho drug curso.
1 was out of town when you published
your editorial on tbo subject, and I would
lllto to know tho ilato of Its publication In
order that I might read It.
I havo Just written tho following letter to
Congressman William S. Varo:
Honorable Blr In relation to the measure
you propaso to introduco In Coucresa on
hablt-formlns druaa. 1 think I t-ould provo
that odum. heroin nnd cocaine aro not
needed by tho phsslclan. They aro cer
tainly not needed by the layman.
I respectfully ausgest that Instead of tol
erating tho use of these poisons In physl
clans' prescriptions. , It would bo a service
to the people to prohibit their Importation,
manufacture and distribution altogether.
If this thoucht of total prohibition of
these poisonous drugs should appeal to you,
I will uladly call on you to stvo further
particulars.
So long as tho physician Is allowed to
prescrlbo theso drugs, so long as tho drug
gist can sell them under tho naino of pare
goric, etc., every measure taken by the
press and by tho Government will be, as It
were, only a pin-prick.
I think I can mako good my assertion
that tho use of those drugs Is absolutely
uncalled for In medicine; and thnt, thoro
foro, tho physician should be ffcrbldden pro
scribing them, and the druggist soiling
them. V. A. MAIQNEN.

WOMEN IN THE ELECTION
To the Editor of the livening Ledger:
Slr "Tho lady doth protest too much, me
thinks." The bookb of victory, hymns of
power and chorus of self-congratulation
bursting forth from suffrage headquarters
slnco the election lead ono Involuntarily to
facts back of these pcans of satisfaction,
nnd prompt mo to warn our suffrage friends
that, despite their success In fooling some
of tho people part of the time, they "can't
fool all the peoplo nil the tlmo."
I wonder, though, whether any ono can bo
fooled by tbo fine talk and pretended satis
faction hollow phrases for the most part
put out to blind an easy-going public to the
truth (as plain as the nose on my face;
that tho election has given woman suffrugu
a staggering blow.
Take, first, the complete collapsa ot the
much-vaunted 4,000,000 woman vote, that
terrible threat that in bandit fashion held
up the two great political parties to forco
a suffrage plank In their platforms. Of
this the suffrage publicity bureau puts out
as news; "There was no dontrolllng of the
women's votes either by women or by vest
ed Interests. Statistics prove that women
did not all vote one way, ns wsb predicted,
but they did a little independent thinking,"
May we not hope that men of Influence
in national affairs are saying In their post
election conferences, "Never again will this
bogey muddle our judgment and confuse
our policies"?
In connection with the boasted power In
woman's hands In this election came the
prediction that, the women of Illinois held
the balance of power, and would probably
turn the scale bo nicely balanced, But the
"little independent thinking" of the women
there followed so closely the thinking of
the men that their votes had no effect on
the result. I am told that Illinois Is the
only State In which an official record Is
made of the women's votes.
An officer of the Congressional Union
tells us that In the West woman's "little In
dependent thinking" was greatly Influenced
by the appeal ot the slogan, "He kept ua
out of war." "For this," she says, "wa
have excellent reasons for satisfaction."
Why, we wonder, this satisfaction? Is it
because so many women were found willing
to accept the slogan at its face value? Is
tt because there is a strong suspicion that
tho "kept us out of war" votes elected Mr.
Wilson to the presidency? It can scarcely
be, because the man they set out to de
feat was elected, even though we are as
sured that "it made no difference to the
woman party or the Congressional Union
which candidate -was elected," We are sup,
posed to have forgotten that extensively ad
vertised half million dollara, raised to de
feat tho Democratic party in reprisal for
their failure to pass the Federal suffrage,
amendment We must forget also that won

Jn a,, visit to tha ofllce ot tho Association
Opposed t6 Woman Suffrage I learned the
following facts: In 1814 woman suffrage
was defeated at tho polls In flvo States. In
1915 four great States rolled up big majori
ties against It. In 1010 It has met defeat In
thrco States. Twenty Legislatures havo re
fused to glvo it recognition, and' ay indl
cations show that men everywhere are wak
ing up to Its fallacies, Its wastefulness and
Its dangers. JANE ADAMS.

A CALIFORNIAN EXPLAINS IT
To the Editor of the Evening Ledger:
Sir California Is safe In tho column for
Wilson. The majority Is too great to
change materially against him oven If thero
bo a dozen recounts of the votes. Mr.
Hughes's personality weighed against him
with the people In his visit hero electioneer
ing, especially with the women folks, and
tho women, you know, vote here now. Per
sonality Is an Important factor to be reck
oncd with among tho women, as we mon nil
know. His personality and his whiskers were
against him. Then, too, he. had no Issues
to present. Ho simply dovoted himself
when here to criticizing Mr. Wilson, giving
a general Impression that ho thought Mr,
Wilson should havo had tho country nt
war, not only with Mexico, but also with
Germany. Wo could not make any other
sense out of whnt ho was driving at. He
also created the Impression In this State
that ho was lined up with tho "Old Guard,"
Perhaps It was llfty-flfty "war" and "Old
Guard" ; or, to be exact, it was 33 1-3 one
third "war." one-third "Old Ouard" and
ono third "personality" that caused his de
feat In California.

army officer, a nobleman, in an Alsatian
town had led to a conflict betWeon the
garrison and tho townsfolk. But as tho Im
perial Ministry supported tho garrison offi
cer, nnd as tho Kaiser supported the Im
perial Ministry In defiance of thoRclchstag'a
overwhelming vote of no confidence, tha
dispute over tho Zaborn Incident' assumed,
tho aspect of a battle for civil liberty and
for responsible government. Ifaho officers
In question. Lieutenant von Foratnef and
Colonel von Reutter, wcro nllowed.to escape
without punlshmont, It would mean that
army officers wquld henceforth with Impu
nity rldei roughshod over tho civil popula
tion; If the Government continued to disre
gard tho wishes of tho Reichstag, one moro
triumph would havo been scored for nutoc
racy. Late in December, 1013, the court
martial sentenced Lieutenant von Forstner
to forty-three days' Imprisonment for vio
lence and nbuso of military prlvllego. Early
In January tho court-martlnl acquitted
Colonol von Reutter of the charge of Im
proper usurpation of police power which
had boon brought against him for support
ing young von Forstner in the feud against
tho garrison and the town.
