LA BOB'S ANSWEB WHILE the Senate and the House in Washington wero preparing for a porlod of friction over the provision of the no-called "sabotage" bill which woud deny tho right of labor to strike dmlng tho war, labor in this clt was proving tho tfcedlpssncss of nrgument one wii or an other upon this point. Forty labor leaders, representing 180,000 workers, voluntarily nii.rli-oa their nrennlzations not to strike or rmrniro m anv delay or demonstrations before peace is declared. Lewis II. 1'ar- axins, director of the l.ibcrt t.oan cam- 5Jlin, presided at the meeting of the labor men. The most influential icauers were present. Resolutions pledging the loyalty of labor unions and their wish to cooperate to tho fullest cMcnt .with the Government were adopted. A similar spirit Is belm, manifested In alt parte of tho country. The sporadic strikes reported at Intervals arc unim portant when viewed In relation to the magnificent co-operation of labor as a whole in the war program. Here and here a few workers and a few cmplojers are unwilling to forget selfishness. They are raro exceptions. Labor In England and In France as well as In tho L'nlted States has provol'. Its Intelligence as well as Its vision and lnally In an Inspiring manner by whole-souled devotion to the fcommon aim and b a willingness to for set, for the time being, the conventional demands and desires. The workers In Philadelphia, have, by a voluntary gesture ot patriotism, added moie evidence to the proofs which show on every hand how sound, the country Is at heart, how high its faith Is, and how swiftly wo are be coming unified In the one lion determina tion for war to victory, "Hlndcnburg slightly hurt by Allied air bomb." Better luck next time A FIREMAN FOB GOVEBNOB? XT IS easy to pardon nay, to praise! Judge Eugene C.

His mystic approval of wet things Is untied, no doubt, upon a Just appreciation the essential moans of fighting confla ,,. )atlon. There are other reasons why his candi dacy Is Important. In tho far days, as yet but dimly vlsloncd, when the travail ing spirit of humanity Is released from war, there must bo new searchlngs of tho heart everywhere, and capcclallj In politics. There will be a new and u sharper scru tiny of public affairs. Many of the an cient wishes of mankind will make them bclvcs felt again In an urge for better things.

With a single Resturc the clcrg-ymcn have torn the mask from the hypocriticul virtue In the City Hall and exposed It for what It is. Js'o more important words have come from any source than the following sen tences from the letter of the federation to Mayor Smith: Whatever may i our peisonal con viction ami Intention our earlier Inter views and past experiences do not war rant the belief that the Important work of rrrtlfylmr vice conditions will be accom plished through vour Administration and police official. They Know all that we know" concerning the Immoral and Illegal practices HihI are going on In the va rious neighborhoods Your police will do wltst Is really expected of them The Mayor had asked the clergymen for their evidence against vicious resorts. This their reply. They inform him, ns if he did not know it, that he hus men undor his direction who know the truth and hnvc known it nil along. They tell him that the police in protecting, or nt Iciist permitting, vice are doing what is expected of them and that they will con tinue to do it so long as the expectation continues. They refuse to disclose their evidence, for they are not willing that the police should know against what places they have proof, and they are not willing thus to assist the protectors of vice in warning the suspected so that they make take to cover. The importance of this pronouncement lies in its revelation of the fact that the church people have their eyes open. They aie no longer to be fooled by fair words. When Thomns B. Smith says, "I am trying to do right," they know how much nd how little it means. They know that he has the legal power to remove the head of the Department of Public Safely and to appoint in his place a man devoted to the public interests. They know that if he had the will he could IcHr the Police Department to pieces from top to bottom and impress upon every officer from the patrolman to the superintendent that he is expected to bring an end to tho partnership of the public officials with the underworld and that protection for a price must cease. There has been talk of organizing the "chuich vote" in support of certain fac tionnl candidates. As was said on this page a day or two ago. there is no such thing as a "church vote" to be organ ized. But thcic is such a thing as a conscience vote. Some of the men who cast it arc in the churches and some nie not. Some of the men are Republicans and some of them are Democrats. But all arc opposed to a continuance of the spurious form of popular government now holding forth in Pcnn Squurc. The Church Federation has laid down the first plank for the platform of the next candidate for the office of Mayor. It is in the last sentence of the letter from which wc have quoted: "Your police will do what is expected of Ihcm." There is the issue, clear cut nnd pre cise. Now, what do wc expect of them"? Are we so cynical that wc do not believe the city can be kept decent? Arc wc willing that there should continue to be a partnership between a controlling political faction and the purveyors of vice to the vicious? The federation is evidently unwilling. The men who dictated the reply to the Mayor have put their finger on the burn ing shame. If they continue to sec as clearly for the next fifteen months they can serve their city well by continuing the fight, not as churchmen, nor as or ganizers of any "church vote," but as leaders of an aroused community in put ting an end to a public disgrace.

It is part of an advertise ment printed for Liberty Bonds by an American motorcar company. War Is said to be good for the arts. It inspires feeling. It fires thoughtful minds. Great pictures and great literature usually follow upon great conflicts. War is doing for advertising what it used to do for the older urts. Advertising now being done in this city for the Liberty Loan has ,i new vividness, a new power, extraordinary swing and the Inspiration of Intimate feeling. And the reason for all this Is plain. The men who write It speak from their hearts. THE COMPLETE LETTER WRITER IT IS peculiarly stimulating to the le flcctivc mind to see the ancient and much-dlecredlted name of Bourbon mingling once more In diplomatic dispatches. Long experience has taught statesmen that a Bourbon In the woodpile means poor kindling. Tho Bourbons have long been noted for their aquiline noses, but there Is little of the eagle In what lies above that feature. When the Emperor Charles of Austria Hungary wrote that lettor to his brother-in-law Slxtus do Bourbon about a year .ago, offering to recognize France's claims to Alsace-Lorraine, did ho do so (we won der) under dictation from Berlin? That would be JUst the roundabout way In which I dermany would approach the delicate Inti- laiatlon that for the sake of peace she' EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER-PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, APEIL' 13, would be Willing to cortsdlr the surrender of the Relchsland In return for a free, hand in the East. It Is convenient for Potsdam to have Charles and Cr.ernln to do Jhose Utile chores for It It Is almost IncofP relvable that the Austrian Emperor would hazard such a coup unless It were O. K 'd by his Prussian superior Even If the letter was sincere when written, the expression of a natural eager ness for peace on the part of a monarch whoso throne Is by no means plllaied on everlasting basalt, Charles's haste to dis avow It now Is entertaining and Illumina tive. Even before the letter was published In Paris (note that) he telegraphs to Wll helm that it is all a wicked He. lie ought to know. No- Intrigue can endangei. he adds the perfect solidarity between the two empires, Which Is so. The tissue of Intrigue that binds the two Central empties is so com plete und Interwoven that onl.v one cut ting Instrument can part It. And that Is the Truth. This Is merel.v Ihe fit si of a series of clumsy motions we shall witness by which Germany will announce hei willingness to withdraw from the west If sho can march fiee In her cssterlj corridor to Bagdad. Dago has been bombarded again by the Germans, but It Is not another Italian offen sive. Digo is an Inland in the Daltlc WHEN FRITZ IS CAPTURED THE German soldier In France is trained to think that his battle is against pei fldlous England the perverted land that would substitute muitlns nnd oiunse pekoe for the hardy wurxt and scidcl. lie Is told that the French are really spiritual allies of hi", who are fighting him only for their love of ptradox. So when Fritz is capluied. as sometimes happens, and after he has been fumigated and given a bijuarp meal, he looks mound and gets several surprises, lie finds that besides the Engllbh and the Irish nnd tho "wcemen frae hell" and the wearers of the Welsh leek, and In nrldltlon to the paradoxical poilus. there are others ar rayed against him. He ees Portuguese, for Instance a valiant and considerable army of them. Ho sees a Polish legion.

And he even finds some brawny chaps fiom Anchorage. Alaska, wheie the whole town lifted Its mudhook and enllated en masse to see what it could do to the Hun. Gradually It dawns on Fritz that he has tackled a large order. Little by little the League to Enforce Peace has Indeed come true And while it takes some time to get the neccsior.v coordination among buch diverte commands. In the end not even Fritz ran whip thr world. The British abandoned Armenlirrcs be cause 'it wai "full of gas."

For .Mr. O'Shauncs-sy was blundering .along a road that the mind of the public has been exploring more or less blindly for several vear.s. and In the bill that he presented he suggested the goal which Is a complete change in the styles of coins and a special currency especially designed, valued and minted for women. Since all virtue and e3tcem departed from the cent, the two-cent piece has been a necessity bojomj dispute. We shall have to go further than that. A fifteen-cent piece would bo of little ue. The price of cocktails has gone to a quarter. But we surely are approaching the day when nlnct-nlnecent pieces and twenty-three-rent pieces and fort -eight-cent plcccb must be minted. These new coins will come when a few more ladles arc In Congress. N'o woman ever bujs anything for a dollar or for a quarter or for fifty cents. She insists on having at least one cent In change.

Why should not lieland pay the same price for freedom that every other nation has to? There can be no freedom until Ger many Is b,cajen. Theie is no leasou for the German American Alliance to fret over the disposi tion of its surplus funds. The third Lib erty Loan Is the place for that nione.v. Among the minor tragedies of war for the fair one, chief is seeing a photo of her best friend In khaki chatting with some French lady in the Bols -de Boulogne.

THE only ships of the German navy that sail tho seas are submarine. The only German merchant ships on the ocean are those selred by the Entente Allies and the United States. The German navy Is penned In the Baltic, and It will stay there so long as the naval power of the Entente remains unimpaired and bo long as our own navy can co operate with our allies. We have been spending money lavish! In building new ships of war; 'how lavishly Is concealed by the ccnor. But that expenditure must continue so long as the war lasts. Tor on It depends the freedom of the seas to the tioop transports and the food ships. Money without stint Is needed foi this work. Hut Sea Power in this war must be wielded by merchant ships as well as by ships of the navy. The cry from Europe Is for shlpB and more ships, and then ships again. Contracts have been let for IMS steel vessols and for 490 wooden vrsbcls. Work on them Is progressing In more than 150 different shipyard'. They cannot b completed In time without a gioat Increase In the number of men emp!oCd and with out the provision of housing accommoda tions for the men In the districts about the shipyards. The monej has been provided, but force without stint cannot be exercised through shipping unless la,bor without stint Is devoted to the work. Greater con centration of attention on this pressing problem is Imperative at onne. The base of the American niniles is r.OOO miles uway from their center of op erations. That theie should be adequate communication between the two lu one of the fundamentals of military strategy. An army cut off from its base of supplies Is at the mcic of ths enemy. An army In adequately supplied frohi its base because of inadequate transportation facilities Is only a little less at the mercy of the foe. The ocean Is the vital link In tho chain with which German t.vranny Is to be bound. We are stiengtlienlng that link every wi-ek. Tlie ships now in commission are. speeding back and lorth us rapidly as safely permits. Enaland Is lending us ships to be used until our own can be launched, but she needs them for her own work. Wc may pile up munitions and food on our wharves. We ma have hundreds of thousands of men roady to go to France. And wc may be eager to bend men, food and munitions on the wa. But all these must vvult tho expansion of our power on thn sea. Force to the iitmust tn Man Power and Woman Power nnd force to the utmost In Money Power are dependent for their ex ercltc upon the successful application ot force to the utmost and without stint on Sea Power, (Kducatlon will be ilUi-uv-fd Monday.) Since You Insist 'I'm lh OL'It MIND is times, and til is dreadfully active borne- he other day we began to speculate on Truth. Our friends are still avoiding us. "piVEnY man knows what Tiuth Is, but it -LJ 's impossible to utter It. The face of your listener, his eye mirthful or sorry, his eager expectance or his churlish di. daln Insensibly distort your message. You find oursolf saying what ou know he c. pects cu to say: or (more often) what he expects you not to sa. You may not be aware of this, but that Is what happens. In order that the world may go on anil human beings thrive, nature has con trived that the Truth may not often be 'uttered. And how Is one to know what Is Truth? He thinks one thing before lunch; after a stirring bout with corned beef and onions the shining vision Is strangely altered. Which is Truth? rpnUTH can only be attained by those -L whose systems are untainted by secret influences, such as love, envy, ambition, food, college education and moonlight in spring. If a man lived in a desert for si mouths without food, drink or companionship he would be reasonably free from prejudice and would be in a condition to enunciate great truths. But even then his vision of reality would have been warpod by so much sand and so many bunsets. Even if he survived and hi ought us his Truth with all the gravity and long night gown of u Hindu faker, us soon as any one listened to him his message would no longer be Truth. The complexion of his audience, the very shape of their noses, would subtly undermine his magnificent aloofness. WOMEN have learned the secret. Truth must never be uttered, and never be listened to. Truth Is the ricochet of a piejudlce bouncing off a fact. Truth Is what every man sees lurking at the bottom of his own soul, like the oys ter shell housewives 'put in the kitchen kettle to collect the Hmo from the water. By and by each man's Iridescent oyste"r bhell of Truth becomes coated with the lime of prejudice and hearsay. All the above is probably untrue. CAN Lust and Wrong and Madness wage war more greatly, more val iantly, than Honor and Liberty? Is our green and blue world to be dominated' by those who have warred without pity upon the weak and de fenseless? No knightly honor pf old time ever took up more gallant sword than lie at your hand today. Have you done YOUn UTMOST? Nought less will avail.

An Atlantic Fori, April 13. I BEGAN by telling the ptcaltlciit of the Wholesalers and Plasterers' Trust Com pany that I would detain him only u few minutes, and he silently agreed with me. "It is simply a question, sir," I said, "of how the loan Is going, in your opinion." The president of the Wholesalers r..nl Plasterers' Trust Comp.ui fiovvncd mill looked out of the window nt tho Bankers and Upholsterers' Tower, then In process of construction. It was dllllcult to cuy whether his low splilts were due to the fact that the Bankets nnd Upholsterers' Tower was already up to Its sixty-seventh story while his own offices wcro only on the fifty-fifth floor or whether, there was something wrong with tho loan. Then my worst fears seemed to be confirmed. "It isn't going well." ho said. I shuddered and fell to wondering how much of my forgotten German vocabularv I could scrape up against the fatal da.v. "Vou mean the loan will fail and that wc arc going to lose the war?" I said. . "Don't be an nss. .voung man," he ie marked; and then, very much puzzled: "Is it about the money aspect of the situa tion ou am thinking?" "Natuially." I replied. "At least Hint was one aspect my managing editor thought ou might he interested in. The moral phase of the pioblcm Is being han dled by another reporter, who Is Interview ing all the clergymen In town. Still, any thing in that line, especially from such a source" " Sit down. oung man," ho said. "Tho three billions will be forthcoming. What I don't like at all Is the psychology of the campaign." Once nioi e I found myself puzzled' by the mstery of the humun soul. At this very moment, piobably. my fellow itportcr was being told by the pastor of the Onx Memorial Church that tho loan should have been for 4- per cent, forty curs and convertible In custom house gold cer tificates. But the president of the Whole salers and Plasterers' was talking about psychology. However, it's all in the day's work. "Heie's what I mean," said the eminent financier, and pointed to a fiesco of postern and mottoes all around tho wall. "I don't like the spirit In which the country U being Invited to contribute.

They are trlng to frighten the country Into buying bonds." "Well."' I said, addressing myself to his feO Inkstand. "It Isn't true and it isu t right," ho oiled, smiting his fist on a $2000 desk. "You know as well as I do, young maivthat we shall never pay taxes to the Kaiser, Before that happens there won't be any taxes left to pay. That's fundamental."
