Tho purpose of the President apparently was to induce enough Senators opposed to '(he resolution to chunge their views. His language was almost peremptory The Senators simply stood on their rights and refused to be stampede . This Is the first rebuff Congress has Riven- to Mr. Wllji l since vvc entered the war.

Nothing WE ENTERED the war unprepared. ' ' No amount of unrinr; from those who foresaw the Inevitable could induce Con gress to do anything to provide nn ade quate army even for pence times. We 'have wasted billions of money and thou sands of lives and much valuable time because of tho inertia of the Govern ment. Are we to enter pence equally unpre pared? What is to hnppcn to the hundreds of thousands of men engaged in war woik when peace comes? What arc the soldiers to do whose places in civil life have been filled by others? What provision, if any, is to be made for the women who have tukcti the places of men in industry? How arc we to keep on the sens the millions of tons of shipping that we arc building? What is to become of tho great indus trial plnnts that have been built to do war work? Peace will come in a day, and when it coiwls the production of war material will almost inntantly stop. Nothing has been done thus fur to pic parc for the new conditions which will confront us as soon as Germany sur renders. She may burrcntlcr before Christmas or she may light for six or eight months longer; but it is as ccrta'.n as the setting of the sun that she will be overwhelmingly defeated within a year. Are we going to wait till that happy time before we begin to think about the problems that will rush upon us with the force of an avalanche? This is not to happen if the Republican leaders of the Senate can prevent it. Senator Weeks introduced a resolution last Friday calling for the appointment of a committee of six Senators and six members of the House to consider the whole subject and after investigation to recommend proper legislation. The Re publican Senators met In conference yesterday afternoon and by a unanimous vote indorsed the Weeks resolution. But there is no political partisanship in it. There may be partisan disagreement on the proper course to pursue in tho read justment of industry to peace conditions, but men of all parties and of none must agree on tho importance of finding out at once how peace will affect the social and industrial life of the, nation, so that the majority may decide wjiat is to be done about it. But there are broader questions to be considered than those involved in the mere readjustment of the nation to peace conditions. We have been spending bil lions on the war. The best mechanical ingenuity of the country has been devot ing itself to constructing instruments of destruction and to the transportation of those instruments and tho men to use them across the 'ocean to the battlefield. We have made a new gasoline motor. We have invented great guns with long range. Wo have found out how to build a ship in two months that used to take two years, and to build it cheaply. Can we not employ those capacities, not only in the work of readjusting a warring nation into a peaceful one, but in the work of solving the problems of peaceful progress? Take for example the slums in Phila delphia. They are not so bad here as in many other cities, but there are Inrge areas in which the housing conditions are a disgrace to a civilized community. One of tlie greatest economies possible to us would be effected by wiping out the slums and insisting that the owners of them erect sanitary dwellings. Such a course would decrease the labors of the police, would conserve the health of the whole city and would prevent among tho very poor the wastage of the lives of children through the forming of criminal habits. And what are we to do for our school system? It is pretty good as such sys tems go, but no one is so well aware as the men in charge of it that it fails woe fully in providing the best education pos sible for the children. There are not schoolhouses enough. The salaries of the teachers are so low that only those with a special calling to teach and the incom petent are attracted to the profession. If a single generation of school children could receive the kind of education that it ought to receive an education in the things that they need to know as citizens who must take their place in the indus trial world, and also in the ideals toward which the citizens of a free self-governing nation should strive we should have a new Philadelphia when they succeed us in the direction of affairs. It Is not necessary to ask what are we to do to expand the commercial life of Philadelphia and consequently of America, for every one knows what has been suggested and what should be done. The' pressing question is: Arc we going lo do anything, or are we intending to drift into peace unpre pared, as we drifted into war? Mlttel-Kuropa seems to have got "mitt" right In the forward part of It. the HAniT AND THE GRIP THK warning against crowds as Infection territory of tho Influenza bacillus has Interesting significance in a city where pedestrian routes are probably as rigidly charted at anywhere on earth.

SpneloiiH later developments line us not. The vast reaches of the Northwest Boule vard and the roomy but rugged new route to the park ore probably well-nigh gorm less. Along their ample Idcwalks foot steps of tho bacillus-carrying populace erlio thinly and comp.ttnllvely rarely. Itroud street, while the motorists' pnr.idlse, Is not ami perhaps for that very reason -capri'lnlly beloved as a "Uotlolr."

In the suggested plan the city is nsked to contribute a fund of $10,000 toward the expenses of tho entei prise, tlie orchestra to contribute the balance of the necessarj financial sup port. Puml.iv Is. of course, an ii".cal day for the dispensation of lofty music. The law against performances with paid tidmls tilons. however, has long obstructed Sunday concerts, savo those backed by'nn opulent nltrulsm. The Philadelphia Orchestra As sociation, never n money-making Institu tion, lensonably makes 'the point that it cannot iorr the full financial burden of a scries of fiee concerts on the dajs when the larKc-t number of persons aio In a position to attend them. Good music, partly sustained by governmental funds, is an established feature in tlie European capitals and one whose eloquent appeal In wartimes has been Indisputable. The proposed partnership with tho city for a celo nf M Sunday symphony con certs commends Itself nliko to patriotism, civic pride and artl.stic progress. Phila delphia should embrace this generous and praisewoithy offer without delay. The sun, pay the doc- llr i.ot IIU tors, Is tho best euro 1'lnc- In It for the Spanish "llu." It Is suggested that ou let it shine in the windows without stint or limit. Viewing the matter in a larger way, therefore, one may feel assured that the Kaiser will die o? Spanish "llu."

Nehemlah Ilointon, U. v., on the relation of tho Chflatlan Church to tho waf nnd on Oeneral I'orahlnc'a reply to the mrasARe from tin rommltteo of the federal I'nuncll of Chnrrhea of Chrlat In America ant from Washington: NO O.N'i: enrcs to deny the) defects and tho shorti'omlnBs of the modern Church, I It Is true, however, that the present day Is witnessing a revival of tho confessed power nnd the Influence of the Church of tho Liv ing God, which puts under the strongert obli gations the membership of that Church to pee clearly, and to see whole, nnd especially to appreciate that the defects are being out flanked by the development nnd thnt tho world which Is In the remaking, beneath our very eves, Is finding the Church of the Living God one of the most potent factors In the grnrlous reconstruction. This Is no time for spiritual cry babies In the Church of the Living Ood. It Is the hour for the courageous advance of the ad venturers of faith. People talk nbout a divided church; It ls time to recognize the spltltiMll) united Church. Here In our own country we have a federation represent ing the denominations and 33,000,000 people, through which the common spiritual Ilfo nnd purpose of the churches flow with Increas ing tide to the healing of tho nations. The general wartime committee of this body held lis annual meeting In Washington this last week to hear the report of Its commis sioner to France nnd to take action for the sollfllfjliig of the common spiritual power in the Interests of our terrific national under taking to defend tho weak, to dethrone tvrunii and to establish ilchtcousncFS, Justice and liberty on tho earth? YOI eould not ask for n more distinct demonstration of tho vitality of a living Church than the sessions of that committee. In personnel It was splendidly representative of the hlKher and more powerful Christian manhood ; In spirit it was so vitally Chris tian that nobody cared about denominational ntllllationsj In vision It was so broad; In w iMlorn so calm ; In effort so varied, and In courage and determination so unqulvcrlng as to put Into clear and explicit cvldcnco the inntlnuancc through It of tho most spiritual traditions and permmient realities of the Chuivii of the laving God, The commissioner offering tho sympathetic heart of thirty-three million Americans to cur French brethren, so pitlalilv devastated In their own hearts' affec tions b tho cruelty of the war, found every v lure the most eager acceptance of the splr iiu.il bestowal ; he found Foch, Pershing, H.ilg and Joffrc not only great generals, con ducting the campaign of Inevitable victory." but men who themselves walked with God, poseilng that spiritual reverence and faith which Is tho tout of church llfo and etllclcncj'. In his response to the message of the Fed eral Council of the Churches of Christ In America, delivered by Doctor Macfarland, General Pershing declares: "The Ideal of the nation and of the churches Is constantly be fore us, we know that mere wealth of resources or even of technical skill will not sumcc. The. Invisible and uncon querable force let loose by the prayers and hopes and Ideals of Christian America, of which jou ure the representative. Is Incal culable. It furnishes the soul and motive for the military body and its operations. It steadies us to resist manfully these tempta tions which assail us In the extraordinary condition of life in which we find ourselves." i SO THAT tho leader of our American forces la also the first representative of the Church of tile Living God. Now who knows or who particularly cares what aro the general's denominational affiliations?. Whether his connection Is with some obscure country church struggling for Its existence or some great city temple rejoicing as a strong man to run a race. What tho world knows nnd what the woTld cares about Is that tho Church of tho Living God Is enjoy ing a vigorous Ilfo In the soul of one of the greatest geneiials of the day, whoso commit tal to the principles of Christian righteous ness nnd Justice nnd liberty means as much to the world of the next generation as those of any man now living. The Church of the Living God Is not nnemlc so long as she has her residence In the heart of such a leader c the hosts. WB AUK told of the Improved condition of tho office of the chaplain In the presence of tho spiritual necessities of this great war. The selection Is being made not by the grace of political Influence, but by the evldenco of spiritual power In tho hearts of real red-blooded, devoted men. You say we nre weakening our churches by sending our finest priests and ministers to our regi ments; on the contrary, we are greatly strengthening our churches by the adequacy of our response to the appeal for the very best spiritual KUldnnce the churches possess; to the men who arc In grips with the titanic emergencies of a conflict such ns this. It is tho evidence of tho Ilfo nnd tho power of tho Church of tho Living God that her pulpits aro being vacated that her ministers may deposit the 'very life of tho 'church In the heart of the camp. TUB troops themselves are the witness to tho vitality of the Living Church. The llnest army, we are told, the world has ever seen Increases ten thousand men with every sunset, on the French soil, where already two millions are In residence. Agile, strong, sober, dcterftilned, they are the dis ciples of an Ideal, the soul of which Is reli gion. They may not bo lugubrious with eary concessions of spiritual loyalty, but they are, by all confession, leading, in the main, lives which are so true an expression of the Ideals for which they fight, that the Old World wonders and rejoices in giving sincere thanks The Church of the Living God has gone overseas In the souls of our armies and Is proving Its potency and power Increas ingly with the advancing days. Nor must It be forgotten that besides our men, our women are at the front by the bravery, the beauty nnd the dignity of their service, dis bursing the same testimony of the power of the Church of the Living God. If In the early days the Roman marveled "What women these Christians have," In these later days our French allies are exclaiming, "What women theso Americans have." They, too, bring the testimony of the vitality of the Church of the Living God, which In the power of her great confession enthroned In lives of devotion and service has come to her. TUB special denominational affiliations of the groups In these units of mercy and of service Is so pitiably Insignificant, vvhllo their testimony to the common Bplrlt of the Church Is so Indispensably convincing. Surely It Is a belated suggestion to declare that fhe Church has a great opportunity today, for the patent fact, for whoever has eyes to see Is. that the Church of the Llvinir God Is taking her opportunity, nnd through the low-arched corridors of her sacrifice and service Is moving toward those new and blessed realizations of power and of oppor tunity which wait as ever upon her con tinued fidelity and faith. We thought Mr. McAdoo had discon tinued the use of prlvnte cars, yet we saw the most luxurious yacht on wheels of our lives resting at the Heading Terminal the other evening watting for some of the moguls of the railroad administration to step aboard.

Hampton Moore Washington, Oct. 2. TrmEDEIUCK CAltllOLL BREWSTER, " Jr., of Gcrmantovvn, who has been spending a part of tho summer at James town, H. I., has addressed Speaker Clark, of tho House qf Representatives, on tho subject of prohibition. He argues that any bill enacting national prohibition is uncon stitutional and Illegal, and attributes the present strength of the prohibition force to the weakness of political parties. Ho insists that it will not bo wise summarily to abolish the uso of alcoholic liquors, nnd cites tho trtowed opposition of tho Dem ocratic candldato for Governor of Pennsyl vania as a straw showing the way the wind eventually will blow. This Is not the first time Mr. Brewster haB ventured to malto suggestions to 'tho national law making body. When President Roosevelt by Kxccutlvo order directed the removal from the coins of the motto, "In God Wo Trust," he protested and sent to "Washing ton tho draft of a bill holding tho motto in place. This bill was Introduced by a Philadelphia Representative, and the sub stance of It was subsequently enacted Into law. It was one of those raro Instances In which the redoubtable Roosevelt permitted himself to bo reversed, for although It was iu his power to veto the bill, he signed It.

Phlladelphlans are constantly increasing In number In the Capital City, nnd anything which gives them a chance to boost their home town is welcome. Many of them knew Joo Jack son personally, even back to the days when as a boy he used to climb the 'Public Ledger office stairs and drop a few "pointers" into the ear of Bob MoWado or Edmund Stirling. There waM something about Joe Jackson JosephKranclsAmbrose Jackson, It was then that gave promise of future literary achievement. He knew the story of tho life of George W.

The Secretary of the Treasury has proved himself to bo 6o well ablo to stand on his own feet and Is admittedly so re sourceful and industrious that few men, even in political life, care to underestimate him. While Mr. McAdoo declares that he is out of politics and attending strictly to the gtcat public services intrusted to his care, politicians who do not agreo with him assume to sco In many of his public moves the work of a master hand. They say if ho was Inclined to play politics or had aji oyo to the succession at the White House, ho would bo dangerous to reckon with. Theio Is another man In Wash ington who has been obliged to enduro oc casional references to his father-in-law, but, like Mr. McAdoo, ho has got along fairly well In public esteemrand among those with whom he comes directly in con tact. If Nicholas Longworth, of Ohio, -who married Alice Roosevelt, had been susccpti bio to flattery or had been lacking In the manly qualities, ho wpuld not occupy the high position In tho House of Representa tives that ho does today. Llko McAdoo, the son-in-law of the President, Longworth, the son-in-law of Theodoio Roosevelt, has so conducted himself la public life us to command respect. Longworth Is well liked ,on both sides of tho House, and receives marked attention whenever he speaks. As a member' of tho Ways and Means Com. mlttco he stands for big things in a broad minded way and generally knows what he Is talking about. The Secretary and the Congressman are good friends, and do not pcrmlt-polljlcs to interfere with their mu tual desire to win the war. rpHE Congress Job, which has como to bo -L an all-the-year affair for many of the members, is made more exacting because of thu wan When tho department began to offer places to clerks and stenographers nt war prices, tho congressional offices suffered heavy losses. Then the draft came along and lots of the congressional office assistants were taken for war service. Sen ators and Congressmen felt the drain, and scurried around for help. Some of them drew upon members of their own families to fill tho breach. Now comes the second draft and with It further inroads upon the clerical forces In the Senate and House office buildings. Senator Penrose was among those hit. His secretaiy, Leighton C. Tay. lor, successor to the late Colonel Wesley R. Andrews, has gono into the service at the point of embarkation. So lias F, II.

Across the air, between Tho stems and the gray things, Sunlight a trellis flings. In quietude I lean: I hear the lifting zephyr Soft and shy and wild; And I feci earth gentle and mild Like tho eyes of a velvet heifer. Lovo scatters and love disperses. Lightly the orchards dance In a lovely radiance. Down sloping terraces They toss their mellow fruits. Tto rhythmic wind is sowing, Softly tho floods are flowing Between tho twisted roots. What Beauty need I own When the symbol satisfies? I follow services Of tree and cloud and stone. Color floods the world; I am swayed by sympathy; Lovo is a litany " In leaf and cloud unfurled.
