Whtn tha fight begin$ within himself
A man' worth something.
'Robert Browning.
This man Wetz soems to bo work
Ins a shell game.
Mr. Wilson has been Invited to a
dinner to bo given In honor of Mr. Iiryan
in Washington on Wednesday of next
Week; but wo havo not learned yet
Whether ho has a provlous engagement.
It would bo worth knowing how
New Tork city's budget "has been de
creasing for the last thrco years white
J the service and cfllcloncy of all depart
Went3 has been Increased" without tak
ing Mayor Mltchel's word for It. But It
Wcomprohenslblo why business mon In
Now York aro for giving him another
term.
3t Is nil very woll to arrest the
wretched peddlers of dope, but the ovll
cannot bo uprooted until tho men who
sel tho stuff to tho peddlcrH havo boon
put In righteous fear of tho law. Tho
case of John Henderson, arrested yes
terday. Is pathetic. He Is a victim of
the drug habit and trafficked In dopo In
order to get money to buy It for him
self Tho detective bureau would ac
complish more If It concentrated Its
attention on tho suspected druggists and
physicians who are active in the distribu
tion of drugs to ndJIcts.
UttfttttttJ
It Is very hard to dlsagreo with
tho venerable City Statistician, because
figures never He. But whon "Glrard," In
the Publlo Ledger, nays in a pleasant
little anecdote something about Mr. Cat
tell'a being tho only man old rnbugh to
remember Santa Claus when he was a
&SMioy, it is hard to resist the temptation
ai wok into ,wno' wno" and note that
Mr Cattell is only sixty years old. Tut,
tut and likewise marry go to, Mr. Cat
tell! We, too, havo felt young enough to
dare Time to put upon us the added
burden of years whose threat we scoff at.
As the facts about tho conditions
under which the firemen do their work
Rre disclosed tho splendid record mado
by tho Are department In preventing
great conflagrations becomes remarkable.
Xha mon aro inadequately paid. Every
one admits that. Thoy aro on duty vir
tually all the time. Thero is no reserve
or substitute forco from which to draw
When a, man is incapacitated by illness or
Accident and his associates havo to do
hjs work until ho recovers. It 13 within
tha Towe,r of Councils to remedy most of
these defects, but it will not act unless
forced thereto by the pressure of public
sentiment.
The reason given by Great Britain
for refusing a safe-conduct to the new
Austrian Ambassador is an Insult to
this country. It amounts to a declara
tion that the British cannpt trust the
United States to maintain its neutrality,
and consequently cannot allow Count
JTarnowskl to coma hero lost he should
be guilty of tho same kind of unneutral
conduct as former Ambassador Bumba.
?3ut do not tho British knqw that we re
quested the recall of Dumba because
of his meddling in our Internal affairs?
Do they not know that wo have
Stretched many a point to favor the AJ
lies, and that the American people are
hoping that the Allies may win? This
exhlbftton of pettiness Is unworthy of
great nation. We may bo pardoned
for wondering whether it would have
happened i Lord Grey had been at his
post In the Foreign Office. He is absent
In the country on long leave to recover
Ilia strength, and little men must be
trying to perform his functions. Wo
friuat believe, until there Is evidence to
4BO contrary, that when the London Gov.
mment realizes the awkwardness of its
josstUon It will reverse itself and permit
the Ambassador to proceed to his post
.without molestation.
Ona might. In SDeaklnr of fallnv
Christians, be excused for sug-gestlng
J that hate is an evil thing in itself.-
Jerome K. Jerome.
TMs remark from ,tho statement by
th dUtinsulabed English man of Jetters
fH, tb EvrmNO Ledoek yesterday has
loot been made any too soon. The na-
Hens bow at war must live together
tigken pac domes, as tho North and
JgQKtb iur now living together In com-
I jteta Bialty. The supremo greatness of
3Um)Ih In all tho trying years of his
trmUbtae? lay to Ms refusal to utter a
atofl word of bate against the South.
Ka. ww determined to preserve the
Vkm at all hazards, but he was willing
-im etmMt ths South wiU loyalty to
1MM for which Justification could be
fuuniL. Ha believed the South was
iM but fcei insisted that the outh-
spirit -wra men, and brother?, never-
fftflijf Mere can ba no abiding peace
in 3ft fim an tH tho camlvul of hat a la
tewidT.u aa end, until It U admitted
itM.MHHtil
Iht-eah out the polnls 61 differinca In
order that a livable and workablo agree
ment may bo reached. Mr. Jerome la
not a politician and his words dd not
carry tho effect of governmental de
crees, but ho has Indicated the (spirit
Milch must actuate governments In tho
final settlements.
HIGHER TAXES
A COMMUNITY gets tho kind of gov-
ernment It votes for. Contractors
are not In politics because It Is a game
that amuses them. They aro In for profit,
and profit they Intend to get. It Is really
not surprising that an oversight, so It
Is alleged, In a recent contract wilt glvo
Iho Vares a couple of hundred thousand
dollnra moro than they are entitled to.
It would havo boen remarkable If the
shoe had been on the olhor foot.
We havo nothing but praise for Mr.
daffrley, who has looked a condition In
tho face and met It squarely. He is en
titled to warm commendation bocause ho
refused to decelvo taxpayers any longer.
Tho condition Itself, however, Is of long
growth. Accumulated deficits arising
from long years of extravagance tell tho
story. Citizens pay now because politics
raided the management of the gas works
and drove that publlo utility Into prlvato
hands. Citixens pay now because tho
water works havo never had tho busi
ness management which thoy should havo.
Citizens pay now becauso tholr valuablo
street railway franchises woro given
awny years ago. It Is waste In disposi
tion of franchises und other assets, no
loss than absoluto oxtravnganco In gen
oral administration, that drives tho tax
rato up without any compensating return
to tho community.
So long aa municipal employes uwo
ulleglanco first to tho Varos, so long will
public rcvenuo bo squandered. Citizens
can get relief whon citizens vote to get
It, and not before.
STATES WON'T DE IGNOKED
THE Philadelphia Chamber of Com
morco Journal announces that It Is tho
Intention of tho organization "to bond
overy cnorgy toward socurlng for tho
railroads Immunity from unwan anted
atato Interference, and tho placing of
ralhond regulation under oxcluslvo Fed
eral control." The railroads cannot bo
put under exclusive Federal contiol
without tho consent of tho several Statos
themselves. While thoro seems to bo
good reason for moro comprehensive Fed
oral control, it is Just as Important to
sccuro for Philadelphia immunity from
unwarranted railroad rato discrimina
tion as It Ib to securo "for tho railroads
immunity from unwarranted Stato Inter
ference." Wo doubt If Pennsylvania or
any other Stato Is prepared to abjuro all
regulatory Jurisdiction, nor aro wo aware
that any responsible railroad has proposed
Buch a thing.
ALL OUT FOR THE PARADE
MANY delicately nurtured and boautl
fully gowned women havo paraded
our streets carrying aloft vulgar trans
parencies and gaudy banners for woman
suffrage. Well, that broke tho Ice. After
that, why not a parade of theso same
women, carrying market baskets?
Onco that was dono It could never bo
a reproach for the most exquisite and
cultivated reader of Lord Dunsany and
the mystic Tagoro to be seen carrying
a market basket. Such n specaclo would
make the Egg King shiver in his boots,
and the Middleman would burst into
tears. Tho Servant In the House would
seek nn Injunction to compel her em
ployer to be a Lady and eschew economy.
A very strange thing has happened.
Tho prlco of wheat has fallen Just at
tho moment when It was expected to
Jump higher. Why? Because tho oyes
of all America wore centered upon tho
Chicago grain pits. Tho egg boycott is
spreading willy nllly, tho price must
fall if the boycott keeps up. Hit him
again; he's coming to! Take the Middle
man this time and the Itetaller and go
out and haggle In the market place over
the price of turkey per pound. Don't even
have it sent homo In a wagon. Don't
let suave counter clerks calm your foars.
The only obstacle In the way Is this so
cial notion that furs and market baskets
don't mix. Ergo, the market-basket pa
rade. All out!
A CIIAPELLESS UNIVERSITY
What Is needed most of all Is a
chapel worthy of a university such as
ours, which will stand to attest the
faot that the Institution Is true to the
trust Imposed upon us by our founders.
THIS statement from tho report of the
work of the Young Men's Christian
Association of the University of Penn
sylvania will be news to many who are
not In Intimate touch with the Institution.
It Is astonishing that so great a uni
versity has to do Us work without proper
facilities.
The only general chapel exercises of
the university are held once a week in the
gymnasium. Special exercises aro held
on four days for the four undergraduate'
classes separately, because there is no
meeting place big enough to hold all the
students. And this is the case In an In
stitution the original charter of which
declared that the well-being of society de
pended in a large measure on impressing
on the minds of students the principles
of morality and religion.
It would not be'dlfflcult to nnd a suit
able site for a chapel within easy reach
of all the students. It would not be dim
cult to arrange a beautiful devotional
service In tt, with an accompaniment of
muslo made, splendidly majestlo by a
chorus of male voices. It would not be
diificult to attract the students to such a
service. But it seems bus far to have
been impossible to Impress upon any
devoutly minded benefactor of the Insti
tution the need of a chapel building.
Thero Is wealth enough here to supply
the need. There are devout people who
need only to be reminded that the demand
exists in order to meet it. Provost Smith
could tell any such that no benefaction
could do more for the life of the uni
versity or for the spiritual life of the
ni!Lt!uii pm to b usefl for fostering

"HICOSTITIS"
To the Editor of the Evening Ledger:
Sir It Is unnecessary for mo to remark
that tho high cost of living Is pre
eminently tho bugbear of ptesent-day
housekeepers. Trying to mnko both ends
meet Is a feat tli.it is nttended with ecn
moro serious consequences than nt first
appear. I mean to say that the Bkyward
gymnastics of overy article of food Is apt
to get upon tho average woman's norves
nnd boforo long wo shall have a new tils
case superinduced by eer-recurrlng shock
that comes from being told nnd told again
that such an nrtlclo of food has advanced
In price. "Butter, fifty cents'" "Eggs, now
sixty a dozen !" "Sorry, but lard Is twenty
two cents todny " Tho poor housekeeper
peerB into hor lanlty purse and lo 1 Is devel
oped a slnklng'of tho heart symptom No. 1
of tho new disease, which no shall call
"hlcostltls." In its more ndtnnced stages
attained by receiving dally Jabs from
"tho butcher, tho baker, tho candlc
btlcltmalter" the dlsenbo shows varying
features, nccordlng to tho temperament of
the patient Mrs. Swoonaway will faint
and tal.o to bed. whllo tho housemaid
(wages overdue, by tho way) will hunt tho
smelling snlts. How differently will hl
costltls" treat little Miss Illghtcmper!
Rapid protests will mark her attack At
the rato of twenty sentences a minute, the
delirium will move her to discourse upon
tho villainy of tho Ameilenn farmer, and
bo on. For her, the tllseaso probably will
not terminate fatully, since" her energy will
create a reaction. The peit and saucy ones
aro all so energetic! Before long, MIbs
Hlghtemper will bo busy with the wnys
und methods of making siifllclont money to
keep up with advancing prices.
Among the gilded youths who spend their
last cent upon Geraldlno and Susan the
disease will not prevail, since the followers
of Cupid glory In lavbhlng their all upon
weapons nnd bait Nervousness, necessary
to the development of hlcostltls, will not
be present But, bide a wee A year honce.
when the purchasing of bread and meat
shall have taken the place of bonbon and
flower bartering, these th,en chastened
youths will be sure enough Mctlms. "The
high cost of loving" Is amusing the high
cost of living a grim specter that carries
the germ.
Whether you, yourself, are now In the
throes or whether your superb constitution
has enabled you thus far to withstand, will
you not fight the disease? Remember that
the really best things of life cost not a cent
love and laughter, pure air and sunshine,
and a neighbor's good will may be had for
nothing. A Btarllt Bky by night and by
day fleecy clouds chasing one another like
Iambs across a blue carpet are not those
worthy of our contemplation? Take Rus
kin's advice and forget the sordid things of
life. Raise your head; the animals were
made to scent the earth, but man to gaze
upward. Get acquainted with the ever
shifting panorama that Is enacted among
the clouds without Intermission and with
out price and almost without an audience,
Ifearn the names of the planets and their
location. You will be none the worse for
plain living, provided tt be 'accompanied by
high thinking. Any pig may gorge and
grunt contentedly In Its satiety. Jt takes
a (Jod-ghen Intellect to Und the sweetness
of a humble rose and the glories of the
heavens above. J. SKINNER.

RESTRICT SALE OF FIREARMS

I would suggest that you also advocate

revolvers, daggers and other Instruments of

iwould be no more than right that the
sale of such weapons should be regulated
by more stringent Uwa than now cover the

A SAILOR SPEAKS UP
To the Editor of tho Evening Ledger:
Sir Having read nn nrtlclo by M. M., of
Ardmore, about how dopo Is got, I note
that ho puts emphasis on sailors and others
who visited a certain place to procuro tho
dope ho speaks of. If this man did not re
celvo a nlco tip to take the people there,
why did he not, ns a citizen, report his
suspicions to tho proper authorities? Thero
aro fewer so-called dope fiends following
tho sea than In an equal number of people
called civilians. Sailors have been accused
too much as It is of doing things of which
thoy aro not guilty.

Vigilance Committee
MRS. W. R. C Tho vigilance committee
of Colonial times, nn unauthorized, loosely
connected body of citizens representing pub
llo opinion, was formed In the thirteen
American colonies Immediately preceding
the Revolution ItH object primarily was
to enforce the agreement not to use British
products, but later the scopo was enlarged,
Investigation being made ns to suspected
persons' loyalty to the American cause
and punishment being motod out to Tories.
At first the nctlvltios were secret, The par
ticipants in tho Boston "Tea Party" woro
vigllanco committeemen. Whero this sub
rosa movement originated Is hard to deter
mine; nearly every community had Its vigi
lance committee.
Women nnd "Movie" Censors
A. C. G. The National Federation of Wo
men's Clubs has not gone on record as being
opposed to censor boards of photoplays, t. e..
It has not incorpoinled such record In Its
minutes. At tho biennial convention In New
York last May the federation by a resolu
tion began an investigation of motion pic
tures In general, That probably Is what
you have In mind.
Street Lights
T. J. MaoL. Electric street lights were
first introduced In Philadelphia In 1882.
Reserve Currency
D. W. F. (I) The Federal Reserve act
was Introduced in the House of Represent
atives Juno 2G. 1913, and became a law De
cember 33, 1013. (b) No Federal Reserve
notes were issued or In circulation prior
to the enactment of the measure, This waa
made possible by. the act.
