AfAY bo a very oxcullont thing that

that long boforo sptlng tho fund oh of
many young mon will lightly turn to
thoughts of Colgate nnil her football pres

nay ofThnnd whether mathematics U

whether tho c!khhIcb aro moro clearly In
terpreted nt Swaithmoio or at Hrdwn?
A very small poicentago.
It's a trlto enough problem, this rivalry
of brain and brawn. Tho error of those
who havo vaguely cried for moro study
and loss fun 1ms been that thoy could
not see that learning to "mix," to bo
good losoiH, generous winners, to bo
loul and sympathetic with cuthuslasmii
on well ns mlsfoi tunes, Is half tho nluu
of college. And In-our specialized cur
Tlcula football has not kept studontn
from becoming good nrchltvcts, good en
gineers, good doctors.
Thoio should be no negation or re
striction of any of this sporting soclul
life. It should rather bo duv eloped even
fuither, this passionate lojultj to an Idea.
If It could only bo woven into fabric or
clvlo unthuslasml The avorugo college
student thinks of politics as "low brow"
scheming or ns highly unaclentlllc Ideal
ism. Ilia not cricket; or, ns wo shuuld
sny, "It'ii not football." Hut It Is very
often Just that. Tho nthletlo vigor with
which u man demands the voto ho is en
titled to when challenged nt the polls,
tho overawing of rulllnus decking to In
tlmlduto voters, often puts tho test to a
man's ability to hundlo his natural
weapons.
DOLLAHS THAT WILL EAKN DIVI

IT IH a modest sum that the Philip
rlchaff memorial committee nsks ns tho
contribution of this city tovvaid tho erec
tion of tho proposed civic building on
the Parkway. The structure, with the
land, will cost $900,000. Ono third of this
amount has already been raised outside,
of Philadelphia. Henovolent people bore
nro asked for $200,000. Part of this sum
has been raised by tho bazaar now In
progress In Horticultural Hall. Tho re
mainder must bo found.
According to tha plans approved by
the committee, eveiy dollar given tow aid
tho building fund will actually swell tho
endowment of the local charitable and
religious organlsatlqns, Thesa organiza
tions are to bo Invited to occupy allies
space In the bulldlrig. The rental will
be tha maintenance tost, which Is about
one-halt the rental charged In other otllce
Landings. It 'Is estimated that by this
arrangement the societies will get their
oflloea for $15,000 a yoar losa than they
would have tpj pay elsewhere. This is
equivalent to seven and one half per cent
Interest on the sum wo are asked to con
tribute. Uealdta a reduced rental, the so
cieties are to be allowed to use free of
charge tho large Scliart Memorial Hall to
occupy the first itoor of the structure.
Too much cannot be said in support of
thta enterprise. Dr. Philip Sehaff, after
whom tha building u to be named, was
the great apostle of Christian union He

WHAT A GERMAN THINKS
To the lldltor of the Kvenlng Ledger:
Sir Kor some tlmn I havo been reading
your paper, but havo never been so thor
oughly disgusted with jour untl-Gcnnan
and unnoutrul utterances as tonight.
You iihIi, "Do they (tho Hritlsh) not
Know that wo havo stretched many a point
to favor tho Allies and that the American
people aro hoping tho Allies may wlnT
You could not havo shown your own
hyphenated standpoint nnJp,11c,,carf; '?"
through this question And Btlll. only a few
weeks ago. but before election, you wore
lauding Melcholr Muohlonberg with the
words, "This man born In Germany
became ono of tho most patriot o Jlonh.U
when tho break with Orent Drltaln came
lie was a lino typn of man who changed his
allegianco from his imtlvo country to that
ot his adoption Tho qualities of mind and
heart that made him Intensely American
are manifested by hundreds of thoueanca
of cltlsons of (lerinan descent w ho will voto
for America and Americanism nest week.
Ho still loved Germany as the clthsens of
Herman stock now hero lovo tho homo of
their ancestors; but bo understood his duty
to bo lojal to his new country There, was
no hyphen voto In his day because virtually
all America was tilled with a hyphenated
cltlicnry."
Do jou really know tlmt tho "American'
neonlo want Hnglaud to win this war? Of
course, according lo most of the papers,
you nro probably right; but the papers do
not nlwajs represent the true opinion of the
people On tho contrarj. they otten mis
represent It.
Tho true American undoubtedly wants
fair pliii and Justice shown to either party,
and unquestionably wants only tho best
man to Win ; I e , the man who Ib in his
right, and not the one that tho unneutral
papers prefer.
Iho pcoplo that do take this standpoint
are tho ' hyphens," vvhllo those in favor of
Clreat Drltnln are tho "true .American
peoplo "
Germany does not want your favor; she
can very well get along without It, but what
ulie does want Is fair lUt us It Is due to
any nation. Those very much-to-be-re.
gretted utterances as voiced by your paper
and others In your class aro being heard on
tha other side and they will not be quickly
forgotten
Already today they are spreading un.
necessary hatred among the nations, and
there will be a time when jour so utterly
un-Amerleun utterances will act as a boom

well Know whom to blame for It

TAX DODGING IN TURKEY
To the Editor of the Kvenlng Ledger:
Hlr The report of the Internment of
some "hundreds of citizens of t,he United
States by the Turkish Government must be
taken with a large grain of salt, especially
slnco It Is known that a majority, If not alb
of those Interned aro naturalized Syrians
and Armenlans
In yours past, and perhaps at present,
as Turkish methods are not subject to
quick change, the Turkish Government
"farmed outv the collection ot Its taxes to
collectors. These tax collectors had the
means of finding, through Government
agencies, the bank balance of each taxpay
er, and the tax for aify year or period
came as near that balance as It was safe
to oolleet
This was partleularly the case In that
great Syrian Valley In Asia Minor, possibly
the most saUnttflcally farmed and produc
tive agricultural territory in the world and
vboae farmers use the latest and most
modern ot American agricultural machin
ery Under these tax-collecting methods it was
uuptMtlble for these people to accumulate
IMrwanently any wealth, so they resorted to
tnany plan to accomplish thle dslrd end.
One of lb most popular of these plane

bank which -was out of the reach ot tho tax
collector and tho Turkish Government.
Another plan was to scud tho younger
men to America ns emigrants, whero thoy
worked on farms or went to collego for
about two years, took out thftr first citizen
ship papers, rcturnod home for some years,
camo buck to the United Statos, took out
their final papers and returned homo nfealn
to remain permanently
When nny matter of dlsputo arose with
the Turkish authorities, theso men, posing
as citizens of tho United States, claimed
protection ns such
This condition of affairs may In some
meaauro account for the Internment of
United StntcB cltlsens by the Turkish Gov
ernment, and It maj- also uervo as a side
light to some other reports from Turkey.

Sir Governor Brumbaugh Is desorvlng
of the highest praise for tho stand ha has

man most flttlngly qualified for this Impor
tant ofllce ability of the highest order
an Integrity that cannot be questioned a
fixed determination to do tho right, as God
gives him to see the right As the Govern
or's action Is so strikingly commendable he
Bhoutd bo supported by tho whole Repub
lican party of Pennsylvania In his effort
to elect a Speaker whose highest aim will
be to sorve the best Interest of all the peo
ple of the State.
If party leaders, moved by tho most Bor
dld considerations, should array themselves
against tho righteous stand taken by the
Governor, he can command my services to
the utmost limit In this causa which stands
for right against wrong ready at all times
nnd places with speech or hand, with pen
or blow, and X would regard theso efforts
well bestowed until victory was won for
law and order, for Government nnd Consti

VIEWS OF A VISITOR
To the iv'rfltor of the livening Ledger
Sir With the unpleasant odors at pres
ent In tho drinking water of your city, the
people perhaps now realize the folly of
their letting McNIchol, the Vares and other
political bosses manipulate Philadelphia
as they desire, with -their gold-Ilned Ultra
tlon beds, etc, Instead ot.demundlng the
establishment of artesian well-supply or
something else better than the, waters of
the polluted Delaware and Schuylkill
ltlvera.
If the old adage, "Never tea late to
mend," Is true, why not awaken yourselves
and safeguard for the future accordingly,
not only with a different water supply, but
many other things different and more prac.
tlcally commensurate with a town as won
drous great as Philadelphia Is boasted ot
by Its Inside chronics, many of whom seem
seldom to get further away than Darby or
Willow a rove, to gauge how things are
clone elsewhere

A SOUTHERN VIEW
To repeal that part 'of the Constitution
providing for the electoral college Would
be another blow struck at States' rights,
and unless the minds of the people of the
South have undsrgone a radical change In
this respeet. the southern States would
not be found in the list of those favoring
the change. Knaxville (Tenn.) Journal

of being a descendant of thai Queen ofj

II But beforo tho ship reached Its destlna
tlon ho was missed, and no sooner had the i
cnblo flashed word of his disappearance 'j
than all sorts of puzzling rumors sprangj
up from various sources. S
Investigation showed that Loomls hadj
been last seen nn hour or two after mldl

following tho usual captain's dinner which,!
had licen given on tho ovo of tho vessel's

tloned, that tho editor's absence from hls9
berth had not alarmed him after the vessel
touched Plymouth, late at night, since the
joung man had been up very lato the sov-
crai previous nights.
Ellis continued on the Journey to Abvs
