It la written of Mr. Perceval,
Premier of England during tho Napo
leonic wars, that In the crisis of Europe
he safely brought tho bill for increasing
the salaries of country clergymen through
Parliament. In tho crisis of the world an
English lieutenant colonel found time to
lectu e n subordinate on hla way of an
swering n lady's letter. Gilbert and Sulli
van could have made a good opera out
of that.
Something has been gained In the
fight against the dopo evil, in that now
every case is at once referred to its
origin. Sam Green, who put up a three
weeks' struggle to "get religion" In ex
change for the drug habit and failed, got
his first taste of cocalno when he was
sixteen years old. The manager of a
burlesque show gave him some to make
his act a success. The anti-narcotic bill,
which is endangered by the factional quar
rel at Harrlsburg, would make it well
nigh Impossible for boys to be thus started
wrong. There Is something terrifying
about that struggle in the Inasmuch Mis
sion of the man fighting ,to Jteep the
Sermon on the Mount' between him and
his demon, He repeated to himself the
wonderful words of hope, which phrase by
phfase would be blotted out by the cor
ruption within him as waves blot out
writings on the sand. Knowing, as we do,
the absolute truth of "seek an& ye shall
find," its apparent failure tn this case
makes us see Sam Green as in the actual
grip of a tangible fiend Incarnate.

rose until November. 1920, when tha
people will bo his JudRW, n Joint trial
of tho Ronlor Senator nnd the Hovcrnor
Is Impracticable at Ihla time, which Is
unfair to the riovcrnor. It Is on unim
portant fact that no specific charge can
bo brought against Penrose, lie stands
for something which cannot properly bo
considered In the light of personal mor
als, but is rather n mnlndy of tho national
Ilopublicnn party which It must eject
from Its system In order to survive.
Hut Brumbaugh, unllltc Penrose, can
properly bo considered n citizen of Penn
sylvania, resident h"ro nnd tine of us,
our executive and, next to tho President,
endowed with that pre-eminence which
stands for an Ideal before tho youth of
the State. He has permitted charges of
perjury and of diverting campaign funds
to personal use to nland against him
without ofllclal investigation, and If ho Is
Impeached nnd tried It will be through his
own fault In not having hastened tho
equivalent of that trial on his own Initia
tive. It is no longer the question. "Shall
Brumbaugh be Impeached?"' but "IIoW
shall his case bo tried?" Impeachment
Is simply tho bringing of a charge, und
tho chargo has been matte against him.
In Its technical use tho word simply
means that tho charge is repeated by
the lower branch of a Legislature bo that
tho upper branch may try tho accused
man. If this is not done nnd tho Gov
ernor servos out his term without re
futing tho charge, the District Attorney
would naturally seek information con
corning tho chargo of perjury against
Brumbaugh, ex-Governor, and consider
tho preparation of an Indictment.
WHAT 1)0 YOU THINK ABOUT IT?
ADISUEPUTABI.E woman has boon
murdered and her slnyer hits Itillod
himsolf when the law's grip. was about
to closo upon him. In connection with the
affair there is nothing but n mass of
sordid detulls. u record of laws, human
and divine, flouted and broken, a brothel
tragedy, in which have become involved
tho names of men of wealth or stunding.
What is tho duty of a newspaper In
handling a storyi of this Bort? Editors
from New l'ork and Chicago either havo
sent special writers to cover It or havo
tolcgraphed urgently for moro copy from
local writers. Tho pross associations havo
given it great pvpmlncneo In their dis
patches. Every detail has been paraded
before morbid readers. The Evenino
Ledoxr, seeing: In it nothing moro than
filth, has kept tho story oft the front
page, whero unwholesome accounts of
this character aro usually put for circu
lation purposes, und has reported only
actual news developments, a somewhat
novel method of handling such a situation.
Havo the other newspapers been wrong
or has tho Evesi.no Lnuouit boon right?
As our readers aro also, in a sense, editors
of tho EvnNiKO LnDonn, perhaps we can
got a consensus of editorial opinion from
them. Wo really want to know what the
man in tho street thinlfs about It.

AN EXAMPLE? 00 TO HALIFAX
HALIFAX, Nova Scotin, has n popula
tion of -ICOOO. It Is about seven hun
dred mllos from Montreal In an air line.
It is tho port of entry for but a small
part of Canada. Nova Scotia has a popu
lation of only 400,000, nnd there are
only 7,200,000 people in all Canada.
But J35,000,OOQ Is being spent for the
development of the harbor of Halifax.
Philadelphia has n population of
1,800,000 and Pennsylvania has 7,600.000.
or 400,000 more than all Canada. If the
business of this port were confined to
What originates withlnJjils State alone,
It would have greater possibilities than
Halifax would Iiave if that city could
by any possibility handle all the ocean
trade of the whole Dominion.
ThtrUWive million dollars Is only about
Jg7,000,09pss tlian the Federal. Stato
and city Governments nave expended
upon the port of this city front the lie
ginning. Yet for every business-- man
that Halifax can serve Philadelphia ean
serve ten. We are nearer than Halifax
to central Canada and are connected
with it by trunk lines of railroad. We
have a rich hinterland in aur own, coun
try to feed this city. The ocean trade
of the nation Is bound to grow so rapidly
that within a generation there will be
as much business as all the available
Atlantic ports can accommodate. We
have stalled la the right direction, but
we wr not moving fast enough. It is
about time to tnuve uncad at full speed
that we may gt ui yiuyci

LONDON. Dec. 20.
Tho Irish Bltuatlnit Iuih changed. Vory
HtllQ hns bcon tnlil. and If anytlilng has
been done It lias not been made public. Hut
eery one In linglnnd knows that the situ

In Ireland bellgves that It has changed for
tho better. It couldn't be worse. In any

When tho new Cabinet was being foimed

lief that Kir Edward Carson, lender of the
anti-home rtllo group nnd self-constituted
i iiii.llon to Mr. Awiuith's coalition, would
be part of "tho wnr council. Sir Edward
win;, at that tlmo, known to stand for two
things outside, of winning the war: First,
giving Ireland anything but real homo rule,
und, focoud, making Ireland pay for the
gin with conscription.
Hut Sir ICdwnrd. although n member of
Hie new Cabinet nnd one of tho chief
Instruments in the downfall of tho old, is
not in the war council. Moreover, ther Is
a well-grounded belief that Hlr Edward Is
nt last willing grant home rule .with tho
prnlslnnnl exclusion or tho piovlnlona! In
clusion of tho six Ulster counties.
on the fuco of it. tn say "provisional l,t
clusiou or provisional exclusion" is lo talk
nonsense. The reason tho words nro 'not
nonsense 13 that cither scheme will depend
for Its permanence bn tho return which Ire
laud makes In supplying men for tbe war.
If Ireland plays up and there Is no tensou
to doubt that hhe will play up the settle

faction of a vast majority nt both Ulster
men and Nationalists. With conscription
t'ifeated In Australia., largely by Irish votes,
mid with conscription not in effect In tho
ether dominions. It is unlikely that It can
bo .enforced in Ireland. Hut. If It can. H
must bo conscription chosen hy Ireland,
not forced upon her on exacted from her
for home rule which she believes Is coming
to her without pay,
Heroism of Irish Soldiers
One day after the French took over 10,000
prisoners at Verdun, In the most plcturrsnuo
battle of tho early winter, or of tho most
famous war correspondents t. .1 not write a
word about the battle. He is a writer who
"Just cats up" that kind of a dramatic
stroke, but ho hadn't n word to say. The
reason Is this: He was busy writing a story
of tho irlsh regiments at the war, explain
ing how Ulster and tho rest of Ireland
fought together, were proud to upheld the
name of Ireland and to justify her praise,
"Everywhere and always faithful."
'Clio empire is banking on theso men. and
tho statesmenof tho empire know that If
they get the divided men of Ireland lighting
side by side they will do much to end the
domestic tlllllcuUles with which tho lAen
started out. Say "tllnchy" to an Irishman
and you blot out the memory of half the
Sinn Fein executions; say "Loos" and you
make them forget the tragedy of Jtoger
Casement. Hut the healthiest sign is this:
Whatover Ireland forgets, England will al
ways remember the tragedy of last Easter.
The contribution of Ireland to thai man
power of the empire amounts, according
to rough estimates, to five army corps
about 200,000 menand according to other
estimates. Ireland has sunt tq France as
many men aa Canada. The pot-ulation of
'Ireland is about four and a half millions;
of Canada, seven and a half millions. And
Canada has no Sinn Fein. Sir Edward
Carson and his frlendj usually say that
the greater part of this recruitment comes
from the Ulster counties. The answer
usually given Is. for one thing, that Ulster
Uj populous, and for another that the agri
cultural counties of England did not roijie
up to scratch under the volunteer system
and are notoriously liberal tn their ex
emptions even under conscription.
"The Tragic Exception"
TI storm In Dublin last Easter bad tbe

gave way to aowurigm i:nowieqge of a
revolutionary movement in ireiana;
Cabinet was seriously undermined. But
people of England and of Ireland recce

it will be the only clfectlvo thing.
It Is ca.-.v to sum up the conclusion to
which thinking men and women htvo como
In regard to Ireland. It Is that Ireland bus
always been the tragic exception to every
liberal nilMiuco in tho British Empire.
IJpgin with the establishment of trinl by Jury
under the Planlngcncts and continue to
the establishment of conscription (in tho
United Kingdom at least) by the ministers
of the ''1'own, and you find that the 'King's
wil runs throughout the Ir-.nd. except
Ireland. Kven today Irish members of the
House of Commons protest against ad
journments because of the difficulty of re
turning home I'jd coming back to West
minster. In the early days when tho cus
tom was set or excluding. Ireland the difll
cultlea supplied the only 'reason. Tho re
sult has been what we know.
Kaon students of history nnd ardent
patriots all look forward tn a departure in
government as a tcttilt of tho war. Tint
empire will become a commonwealth, in
which all tho dominions will havo some
control of foreign p-jilcy. It Is unlikely
that KinrJand, Scotland, Ireland and W.-vlfS
will ellher pay tho taxation or tho pre.fflit
war alone or will take the responsibility
of plunging the wliolo empire Into nnoUisr
war. Tho dominion? will rcruro sonio sort
of representation, and tha likeliest Torm
foreshadowed now Is a separate Parlia
ment devoted to the -affairs of tuo empire,
possibly under the same Prime Jlinlster
as tho domestic Parliament devoted to the
affairs of thu k ng loin. ,
Tho scheme Is full of drfllcuUles. but thev
will probably be overcome. In that lies
another linpo for Ireland. A compromise.
