The enormous freight congestion of the present day has demonstrated the error of our stingy national waterway policy, as Congressman Moore has repeatedly pointed out. With the railroads undor Government control, it docs not appear that thero Is any strong influenco at work to prevent tlin, accomplishment of such obviously neces sary undertakings as the Joining of the Chesapeake and the Delaware by n canal capablo of handling large ships. We nntlcl pate a tnaikcd ,ielval of water trafno, under tho encouragement of the Go em inent, along sensible lines.

SENSIBLE CENSORSHIP IN ANNOUNCING certain reIlons in tho censorship rules, Chaltman Creel, of the Committee on Public Information, points out that "tho commlttco Is without legal authority or mural right to bring any form of pressure on publications to enforce obsenanco ot these requests. For their obsenanco tho Government relies Implicitly upon the lojalty nnd Judg ment of the Indhlduul writer and pub lisher." It Is qultn probablo that publics, tlons In general hao been even too scru pulous In cirrjlni; out tho committee's In structions, both In tho spirit and In tho letter. Certain blunders mado In seeming clothing for tho army, etc., would have been lonectcd long ago had the press of tho country published tho facts nnd had tho public not been compelled to watt for Information until Congress reconvened nnd began Its investigations. Publicity Is tho best conccthe Known, and fatluro to use It Is perilous In a democracy. Thero should bo no suppression of news unless tho publication of It Is likely to bo of benefit to the enemy. Suppression with the Idea of preventing public dissatisfac tion or criticism Is worse than foolish. Rumor alwas exaggerates, and accurate nows, ecn If unpalatable. Is preferable to wild talk. Washington, we hao some rea son to believe, is beginning to understand this fact, and we may expect hereafter a loosening of the censorship In matters of no particular concern to the enemy. Secret diplomacy is no moro dangerous than a blanket of general news suppression pai tlcularly In a demociacy. The American people like to know what Is going on, nnd they fight tho better for It OLD-FASHIONED WINTER WIIBN the ounger generation of thlf day graduates Into tho ranks of the old-timer and tho "whining schoolboj" has progressed to the final age ot the "lean and slippered pantaloon," thero will be soma fine reminiscent talk before the glowing heatth combining the winter of 1017-18, particularly if, as some scientists forecast," tho winters of the futuro are to be of a mildness undreamed of, Tho savants' claim heems to have some basis of fact even If their Intimations have not been scientifically standardized Into mcteoiologlcal law. Young men who have Just reached the draft age, for Instance, have no such recollection of old fashioned w Intel s, which come icadily to the memory of tha generation ahead of them the men and women who have i cached that state of penslveness best described us the genttu melancholy of early middle age. I'or tho best part of two decades a sort ot lccesslon of the seasons has been noticeable. The red flannels and mittens, the sleigh rides and Ice skating In November of men younn enough to be fathers of this year's crop of voters nro out of tho experience of their offspring. Thanksgiving snows have become a legend in recent jears, and even a white Christmas has been unusual. Winter has commenced late and dragged into the spring calendar. This vear of all jears, with coal at a premium nnd the nation at war, has been selected by natuie for a demonstration of old fashioned w Inter. The season set In with early and old time severity, the October drop In temperature canceled Indian summer and snow has been on the ground almost continuously since Novem ber. Prospects are that blizzard will follow blizzard and that the minor storms will be no Jest. Welt, welcome to old-fashioned winter if we must have It. The poet Shelley asks, "If winter come can spring be far behind?" Our poets can at least Inspire hopefulness in our bosoms, even If they put no coal In our bins or dollars In our pockets. And we can cherish In our heart of hearts an extension of Shellovau optimism nnd ask, "If battle come can peace be far behind?"

The New-Elected Governor Found in the Executive .Mansion a Guest Chamber With Twenty-three Mirrors and a Grand Piano (CliPTrtillt. lOtT, Br - THIRTY-SEVENTH INSTALLMENT T WHOT12 my Inaugural address without consultation with anybody and rent a copy tb Quay alone. Ho replied, saying that It was a statesmanlike document, sug gesting no additions and only one omission upon tho ground that tho subject was rather ono of detail than proper for such a paper, I struck this matter from tho address. Off to Harrlsburg January 19, 1903, Mis. Penny packer and I. with our three daughters, clost'd tho house at 1540 North Fifteenth stieet, In Philadelphia, took n street car to the sta tion of tho Pennsylvania Itallronil, whero I bought tickets and checked tht? bnggngo for HarrUburg, and that night wo spent In tho executive mnnsion. That tninslon was to mo never anything moro than i temporary abiding plate. Thero was not a single fcaturif nliout It which had tho slightest attractiveness for me. All over It vvcro tho manifestations of groat outlay, awkwardness and bad tnflte. Thero was not a print or a book or n plcco of furni ture which IndlcateM tho thought that It represented the State. Two adjoining plain houses had been thrown together nnd by that method space had been se cured. Tho ground floor front was takifn up with a huge reception room in a bril liant red color, looking llko tho saloon of tin ocean steamer, and supplied with slight French chairs, upon which you sat down only at the peril of going through them. A flight of stalls at each end ran to tho fourth stoiy, but theio was no means of communication nloft except thiough tho chambers. When, theiefore, these vvcro occupied nnd tho traveler wanted to go twenty fctft ncross, tho only coin so was to go down one flight of stairs through the leceptlon room and up tho other flight, suggesting a Journey of n quarter of n mile. In the second stoiy was nnnther huge loom, called 'the guests' chambiV" It had been furnished with an epenslvo nnd ptofuse suit of mahogany, nnd with a ginnd piano the Judgment of some pi lor lady occupant of tho mansion hid decreed should be palnu'.l white. There were tvven-ty-thrco mlirois In the loom, all nt such elevations thnt In no one of them could a( man tee to shavo himself. The light was at tho head of the bed. It was turned off nt the othcV end of tho room. On the way stood two or three narrow upright pedes tals surmounted with heavy nnd costly vases. After putting out tho light the strnnger threaded his wav to bed In ter ror. Ono of the vases was knockAl over while we were there and 1 thanked the Lord The mansion was supplied by the State; theie tho ofllclal entertainments were given, nnd theie It was espeeted thnt the Governor should live. A statute pro vided that tho Hoaul of Public Grounds and liulldlngs should pay the epenses but what was to be Included in these ex penses was nowhere defined. Tin' Ptnto employed n butler And other scivauts, and put them In the houvo to take cue of Its property nnd lender seivlce, but It was left to the Governor to feed them from his own resources. This was un Imposition for tho reason that, if left to himself, he could securo a house and appointments to accord with his mc'ans and salary. . There had been seven employes in the house. Wo cut them down to five. In tho com so of my term the feeding of theso pc'ople cost me several thousands of dollars. At one tlmo I asked the opinion of the Attorney Gen eral upon the matter, nnd he Informed mo that in his view the State was lequired to provide this sum. It appeared to me, how ever, to be a question of some uncertainly and, preferring to feel entirely clear in nil financial transactions between the State and mybelf, I paid the bills nnd let the subject icst. Kach successive Governor, with the old of his wife, had taken a hand In fixing the mansion, and my successor mad? extensive improvements, but nothing except repair waa done to it during my term. In my view It waa not worth the expenditure. The space between tho Cap itol and the Susquehanna TUver, now ooou pled by the gentry of the town, ought to be confiscated and thrown Into a park, and somewhere within the Inclosure a home for the Governor erected In keeping with the Importance of his office. The Oath of Office The net day, January 20, a cold, raw, bleak day, with occasional falls of snow, tho Chief Justice, the Honorable D. New Un Fell, my old friend, administered to me the oath of office, and,I stood, with uncov ered head, in the presence of an Immense crowd, nnd read my inaugural address. Thero was a great parade of the National Guard and, clubs, at the head of which rode Marlln E. Olmsted, a leading lawyer and a member of Congress, who Just missed being the Speaker. He waS. capable of filling, with credit, any public position. He did not have that quality which la called magnetUm, but what is moro Im portant he possessed In abundance char acter and Intelligence. Coming to Harris I.,, rtr no n derlc In one of the departments. he died unfortunately only too early, leaving a beautiful and attractive young wife ana a vast estate. After an experience of four years of contact with them. In my opinion the strongest men in publlo work in the State were Marlln E. Olmsted, David, T. Watson, of Pittsburgh: Philander C. Knox, of Pittsburgh, and William U. Hensel, of Lancaster, the last named having, 'among other qualities, a pronounced taste for lit erature. The State of Pennsylvania was a great Commonwealth of more than seven millions of people, twice as many as those presided over by Queen .Elizabeth, William of Orange and George Washington. I ap proached the duties of Governor with cer tain well-defined convictions to be regarded and certain llnee of policy to be pursued. Tha Governorship waa a climax ot a career attained and not a stepping atone to some thing beyond. The efforts of men are always weakened when they have some other end In view apart from the object which they are called. upon to accomplish.

Many Governors had had their eyes fixed so Intently upon tho United Stntes Hcnatc nnd the presidency that they overlooked their opportunities as Gover nors. I determined to glv e my personal at tention to tho work as far as It was possi ble, and to havo my future nnd repute Use or fall ln'nccoid with what was nrcom ...lnhed or left u.-fclone. I entertained tha common nnd erroneous belldf thnt the In cumbents of public ofTlto weie In the main Idlo mid untiustwoitliy and I determined that I would Improve conditions ns far as It was within my power to do It. The man who endeavors to convince tho popu lico. of l)i own virtues by proclaiming tho wrongs which other people commit Is nn admitted charlatan. Improvement Is nc 4mpllshed only by taking tho steps which nro necesxary to make conditions better, and these steps generally begin pretty near to home. It would have been very easy for me to havo gained tempoiary teputo by lalslng a climor over tho hhortcomlngs of my pred ecessor. Such opportunities always exist. What I did was to siy to him that I sup posed ho had somo personal friends In sta tion who were near to him and whom ho would llko to havo retained, nnd that so far us I could I would protect them. He named to me a brother of his wlfo and a few others holding minor positions. No body ever heard me wiy a word to his dis ci edit. Nobody over heard mo utter a word of abuse of tho members of tho Leg Islatuie. Thero was no occasion for it. As a general thing they wero tho repre sentative men of their respective locations, ranging from men of high culture llks Roberts, Fox and Pproul to tho ordinary artisan engaged In doing a public work as well as ho knew how to do It. Thne who, llko my old friend BHnkenbiirg, Mayor ot Philadelphia, think that they cin get a IcgMitlvo body to adopt measures by call ing them thieve", make a great mlstako and generally accomplish little. To Consult Politicians I determined also to consult as much as posslblo with the politicians. Thero was no probability of my knowing too much and their experlenco was of a kind which enabled them to glvo useful Information. Besides, no min Is strong enough to go It qulto nlono nkd his ability to do depends laigely upon tho forces behind him. While, then, my first duty was toward the State, I lccognlzod a subsidiary duty to the party which elected me nnd an obligation to thoso who had trusted me and given me sup poit If I had turned upon Quay, as Wil son did upon Harvey and Smith In New Jersey, I should have given an exhibition of what I legard as doubtful ethics. Again, unlike Wilson. I did not regard the duties of the executive office nnd tho success of the party ns being upon the same plane. To me tho latter was subsidiary nnd sub ordinate, and, doing what I could to help the party and Its leadeis, the detei initiation of tho questions arising within tho State depended upon me, and my obligation was to look to the welfare of the State. Nor Is the test of what ought to be done me outcry of the people. He who has the true spirit of a statesman will seek to ascertain not whit tho pcoplo want, but what it Is that for their permanent good they should havo. Often an Imp of a dema gogue leads a herd of swine Into the sea and theie they nro drowned, The real truth ot the matter Is that the masses of tho people aro III trnlned nnd uninformed. Their Judgment upon any specific subject, and especially upon the involved questions of laws and statecraft. Is an Imperfect Judg ment. There aro a few men who know how to mn a railroad train and tho rest of us only travel. There Is one man who can perform an operation for appendicitis, and we let him cut us to pieces. Since the per manence of the institutions of this country depends ultimately upon the good sense and conscience of the people, the outcome la still problematical and uncertain. It may be conceded that, given sufficient time, the popular Judgment Is apt to settle upon the correct principles, yet In the mean timo Joan of Arc has been burned to death, Poland has been parted In fragments, the Boers have been robbed of their mines and the Capitol at Washington has lain In ashes. (CONTINUED Toyroitnow) AMERICA'S GOLD SUPPLY The annual report of the Bureau of For eign and Domestic Commerce points with pride ond views with hope Its summary of the expanse of our business Is a stirring story of American commercial enterpilse since the war came In 1914 with an un precedented demand for vvar and other sup piles and with a shutting out of our chief competitors from neutral markets The bureau Is optlmlstlo as to demands on Ameri ca for rehabilitation In Europo. and also as to the part of the expanded trade In neu tral countries we shall be able to retain. The future will depend on many things. In cudlng. our own policies. Among other shining successes the bureau celebrates Is a net gain of 1,6C0,000.000 In Imports of gold, givlnt this country "one-third of the visible supply of the world." There Is some ques- in?, "i" 1. .the BCCUracy of this, but the United States unquestionably has a far larger supply of gold than any other coun- This makes recent speculations about "In ternatlonal bimetallism" of special interest to Americans. The theory that gold and sliver may circulate side by side, each as a baslo money, on Its Intrlnslo value Is at varlanoe with all experience. Kven In the days when It required a trip by steamship to various porta to ascertain the ratio gold and silver did not circulate 'side by side Whichever was the moro valuable dlsapi peared from circulation. In these days of cablegrams and wireless telegraphy and with organized machinery for collecting quotation, the fluctuations would be greater. But reason alone sh0wS that there can be actually only one standard of value, no mat ter what legislative slelght-of.hatid la uaed to preserve a fictitious double standard. The recent rise in sliver Is misleading. It has not equaled the Increase of average com modities. In a sense, gold has now "depre ciated" with reference to all commodities.

It comes to the front more frequently now, perhaps, because of the war, than In ordinary times. It means. In general terms, the freedom of the ollea:e .or university professor or Instructor to ex press his view a on any subject without being restrained by the regents or trustees of the Institution. Academic freedom In Its proper sense Is a very sacred right Its maintenance it essential to human progress; without It ne advance may be made in science or philoso phy or religion or politics or economics or in any other field of inquiry and Interpretation. So, it is contended that the college professor must be allowed to say what ha thinks, re gardless of whether his Views are at variance with those of hl-associates or with those Ideals and principles for which the Institution Is supposed to stand and which it is Intended to nromote. It Is not difficult to see, however, that there I must be ana ougnc to ne some limitations even to aeademlo freedom; that the individ ual owes something to his environment in a college just aa he does In other relation, and particularly to the institution which has given him the background of Its own prestige, without whloh his Individual utteranoca, ,Ih SHI - NIN " . . Tom Daly's Column SONGS OF WEDLOCK XXII ON NEW YEAR'S EVE Another year, my dear, is dyinjr, Huf let it pass, unwept, unsung; However swift old Time's a-flyinu He finds ourove forever young. For chanjieless are their days and pleas ant, And blithely all the seasons run, In whose true wedded hearts the present And past and future are as one. Those discords now that shake tha cnorus Of warring nations ever sea Shall never still the chant sonorous Our heaven holds for you and me. For though in battle, staik but splendid, this year should take our little lad, Hw many fold, when all is ended, bhall God give back what once wo had. We two have lived and loved and sor rowed, And kept our health thi3 many a year, And from pray skies or blue have bor rowed Our destined dole of grief and cheer. How then shall one short twelvemonth bound us Or make or mar a love like ours? "S, ! draw our lden youth around us " , When age has crumbled earth's ttll towers. Not ours, dear love, the blood that curdles At Time's brief pains that try the tmh His serried seasons are but hardlea Between our entrance and our goal. So here another year is dying. Oh, let it pass unwept, unsung: However swift old Time's a-flying He'll And our love forever younjr. y A WORD TO OFFICEHOLDERS Better have a tender conscience for tag record of your houae, And jour own shaie tn the work which thaff have done. Though jour private conscience aehta With jour personal mistakes. And jou don't amount to very much alone, Than to be jourself as spotless as a baby ono year old. Tour domestic habits wholly freo from blame. While the company ou stand with Is a thing to curse a land with. And your public life" is undiluted slume. For the deeds men do together are what saves the world today By our common public work we stand or fall And jour fraction of the sin Of the office you are In Is the sin that's going to damn you, after all I Charlotte Perkins Oilman.
