Fh.llaa'elpMa, WrdnnHiT, March 19, 1914 PEACE GARDENS QN THOSE trains that run to the placid suburbs of the Main Lino and in the smokers on the Reading seed cata logues are being more generally read nowadays than - the covenant of the league of nations. War gardens were a revelation to mil lions. They took the poker-kink out of many a wrist. They were found to pro vide better exercise than tennis and soberer recreation than golf. The home gardener has been developing his en thusiasm largely under the stimulus of war for four years or more. He started a new American habit. The coming spring will show whether te is to continue as a national symbol and sign of an improved acquaintance with the great outdoors. Many Ameri cans learned through -war gardens that fresh vegetables are worth a piolonged tussle with the earth that gives them up. Now that war is past there will be a temptation to fall back to less systematic exercise and the garden stuff that comes in hucksters' wagons. Watch the peace jrardens for a test of national consis tency. FERRY DAYS ARE NUMBERED rjlHE ultimate disposition of the Gcr- man ships may be in doubt, but it is highly likely that the fate of a different fleet was sealed by a measure which Senator Vare introduced into the Legis lature yesterday. If it goes through, the Delaware bridge bill which he thus spon sors will extinguish the archaism of ferry service between this city and Cam den. There should be no l egrets save only in reference to the fact that the needed undertaking has been so long delayed. Inertia and a characteristically Philadel phian acceptance of remediable handi caps have held up for years a perfectly feasible project. The bridge to Camden will neither be the longest, the costliest nor the most won derful in the world, but it will be one the functions of which will bo of signal importance. Its influence on the develop ment of two deep-water port cities can -hardly-beoverestimatetf. There will be obstructionary tactics, of course, discussions over plans and termini, wrangles over property seizures, snarls about appropriations. Improvements in Philadelphia always go through those afflicting stages. Witness- the Parkway. Yet this boulevard is taking satisfactory shape ati last and the bridge must follow suit. 'Moveover, there are hopeful indications of speeding up. Popular sentiment is strong for the project and the political machinery is sympathetic. The appearance of the bill is a cheer ing step forward. Perhaps we can begin numbering the ferries' days. POLITICS IN SPRING T0 THE cosmic moods precedent to spring affect the sensitive balances of great minds ? We have been passing through alter nating days of gloom and glorious light. Almost invariably, when a day is wintry and cold, Colonel Harvey and Medill Mc Cormick find new horrors in the cove nant St the lengue of nations and de liver themselves dispiritingly in print. If you look up the most important pro nouncements of Senator Lodge you will find that his changes of mind and his consciousness of a desire for a league of nations have always been registered on bright and sunny days that gave prom isVof a warm and early spring! THE VETERAN ARMY rpHE veterans are organizing. -- the honorable examnle of th r. With A. R before them, it was inevitable that America's overseas forces should seek to establish enduring social bonds in mem ory of freedom's victory. But the new organization will neces sarily bo on a far larger scale than was even the Grand Army of the Republic In the days of its greatest membership, and hence the representatives of our ; 'troops who are now meeting in Paris hltVft TtrifH ivloolv in nrlnnfino m..l.. - lfv tentative constitution which will hold until a national convention of the A. E. F. men is held next fall. November 11 is the apprppriato date suggested. By that time it is hoped that i.

Americanism in tho noblest and broadest sense can thus become the ideal of tho millions of warriors who will band together in recognition of Homeric days. As to the distinguishing name, it can wnit until taste and discrimination hac found tho light one. ."Grand Army of the Republic" was an inspiration. Tho United States army of tho univcsal con flict should bo charnctciizcd with equal dignity " nnd equally accurate verbal splendor. "Legion of tho Great War," "Veterans of tho Great War" and "The Liberty League," which have been already proposed, hardly fill the bill if only because such names arc also ap plicable to armies of other nations. The composition of a one-line poem is in order in honor of the fast disbanding, yet immortal, A. E. F. ROGUES ARE TOLERATED: HONEST MEN ARE TRUSTED This Is "What Cleveland Proved by His Work as a Municipal Reform Pioneer WHEN the importance of what Gio vcr Cleveland did for municipal re form is fully appicciated the anniver sary of his birth is likely to be cele brated moic widely than is the present custom. It was observed at the Cleveland School, nt Nineteenth and Butler streets, yesterday and a company of Democrats got together in New York and in some other cities and did honor to tho memory of the man as it sturdy Democrat. Rut it was as a municipal reformer that Mr. C eland first dawned upon the consciousness of the nation. He wits elected Mayor of Buffalo in" 1881 on the Democratic ticket, it is true, but he as sumed office not as a Democrat, but as a citizen of Buffalo determined to admin ister its affairs on business principles. There was neither Republicanism nor Democracy, according to his view, in the laying of pavements or in the building of sewers or in the cleaning of the stieets. In his inaugural addicss he laid down the principles which he intended to apply when ho said, "Wc hold the money of the people in our hands, to bo used for their purposes and to further their inter ests as members of tho municipality, and it is quite apparent that when any part of the funds which tho taxpayers have thus intrusted to us are diverted to other pui poses, or when by design or neglect we allow a gicater sum to be applied to any municipal purpose than is necessary, we have to that extent violated our duty. There surely is no difference in his duties and obligations whether a person is in tiustcd with the money of one or many." Mr. Cleveland was a reform Mayor compelled to work through a City Coun cil controlled by the politicians, who were interested in personal profit rather than in economy and efficiency. He scrutin ized with care every appropriation that was made and vetoed those which wore extravagant or without warrant of law. For example, the Council tried to divcit $500 from a legal fund for the public celebration of the Fourth of July to n company of citizens for the celebration of Decoration Day. He vetoed tho ap propriation on the ground that the Coun cil had no power to make it and said: "I cannot rid myself of the idea that this city government in its relation to tho taxpayers is a business establishment and that it is put in our hands to be conducted on business principles. This theory docs not permit of our donating public funds in the manner contemplated by our honorable body." The picfcs of the city, without regaid to paity, commended this action, which a less courageous man would have been afraid to take for fear of offending the soldier vote. Again when the Council authorized a contract for public work at an excessive figure he blocked the project by his veto. "This is a time for plain speech," he wrote, "and my objection to the action of your honornble body, now under con sideration, shall be plainly stated. I withhold my assent from the same be cause I rogaid it as the culmination of a mofet barefaced, impudent and shameless scheme to betray tno interests of the people, and worse than to squander the public money." And when it was necessary to build a new main sewer he secured, against the opposition of the Council, the passage of a law authorizing him to appoint a com mission to make contrncts and issue bonds. He appointed the commission, but the Council icfused to confirm it. The next week he sent a message to the Council calling its attention to the char acter and fitness of the men he had fcelcctcd and to the importance of -the work and to the needless delay if the Council should adjourn for the summer without action. "I am convinced," said he, "that your honorable body do not caro to be chargeable with this result." Ho put the responsibility whore it be longed and tho Councilmcn were forced to confirm his appointees. Here was a man whowas not afraid of th? political organization of his party, but was afraid of betraying tho inter ests of the people of tho city of Buffalo. It was a novel and inspiring spectacle. He look office on January 1, 1882, and by tha middle of the summer he had a national reputation. The plain people of other cities began to wish that a Cleve land would arise where they lived and take the lead in rescuing them from the political groups which throve on mu nicipal patronage and cared little or nothing for the efficient conduct of pub lic business. They felt instinctively that an honest man had emerged from com parative obscurity. No rogue can fool the people. Tlicy may tolerate him when no better alterna tive is offered. Rut they know all the time that Jie is a rogue. Tho record which this honest and sturdy luwycr made ns Mayor led to his nomination and election as Governor of New York, nnd the record he made in Albany as Governor led to his uomlna tion nnd election ns President of the United States. And all this happened within three years, ' There is wide difference of opinion or tho value of his work ns President, for in that office he was n Democrat seeking to carry out partisan policies. His honj csty and courngc arc admitted, but tho Republicans do not nnd cannot ngrca that his Democratic thcoiics were sountj or that their application was good for the country. ' Rut as Mayor of Buffalo, the only issue raised was that of honest and faithful execution of a business trust. Mr. Cleveland was one of tho greatest modern' municipal lefoimcrs. He applied in piacticc the sound theories which the academic reformers had been talking about for years. And he proved that they would work. So we end as wc began by hoping that in time the friends of good city govern ment wiU gather in every gieat com munity on tho return of March IS each year and pay their lespects to what this man did in the year that he was allowed to remain in the Mayor's office in Buffalo. The mere holding up to icw of his achievements is a condemnation of ''the abhorrent practices prevalent in many cities today. Progress has been mnde since 1882, but wc still have so far to go before we reach decent conditions that we should get all the inspiration possible from the pioneer woik of such men ns Giovcr Cleveland. WHAT IS INTOXICATION? TVIR. ROOT'S advice to his clients in tho brewing business his sugges tion that they go on making beer with an alcoholic content slightly less than beer could boast in the old days brings the whole question of national prohibi tion to a new phusc. The Legislature of New Jersey seems to have been lotting its mind run in a channel paralleling Mr. Root's. It is hoping to use the co-oidinato power granted to slates under tho prohibition amendment to authorize beer with a 4 per cent content of alcohol, though Mr. Root stops modestly at 2?4 per cent standard. Plainly tho people opposed to prohibi tion are preparing to make a long and picturesque fight around the definition of one woid that gives the new law all its strength and all its weakness. That word is "intoxication." The statute is intended to outlaw "in toxicating beverages." It applies be yond all argument to whisky, gin and the like. But some doubts arc develop ing in relation to beer. Can a beer made relatively gentle with Mr. Root's 2 per cent be called an intoxicant? Before that question is decided it is neccssaiy to define absolute and unmis takable symptoms of intoxication. That is a task that has worried mankind since grape juice first went wrong. Congress and the Legislatures of the various states will have to tackle it now. And the literature of government will b'e en riched and made luminous during the next twelve months by innumerable con- f tnbulions to the age-long debate. Must a man stagger to bo intoxicated? Is undue laughter a sign of the affliction? Or is a man drunk when he is happy at times when he really ought to be sad? Congress must decide!

T At any rale, the lawyf-r who compared Jeremiah O'Leary to Drcjfus and Joan of Arc was tolerantly unafraid of lellglous complexities. And now they aro telling us about tho stjlcs in men's straw hats, so th.it we may know what to expect when the sun gels a little hlghei. Whatever may bo said in the progress of the debate, purists will find some con solation that neither Lodgo nor towell will murder the king's. English in Boston tonight. If the coal men are, as repotted, ready to icseind the spring advance order, merely as tho tesult of a threatened fnves. ligation, the effect of a real pi oho mlfcht be even more beneficent. Not all of us may have temcmbereit that Grover Cleveland was born eighty two yeats ago yesterday, yet thoso who heed his dictum that a "public offlco Is a public trust" keep his memory green.

CONGRESSMAN MOORE'S LETTER Republican and Democratic Dis agreements Discussed Pn7n ttclphia Farmers Arc Seek ing Free Seeds i Washington, D. ('., March 19.' TTHIAT tho futuie may bring forth no ' ' one knows. There aro certain signs of discord in both the Itepubllean and Democratic parties. It Is a part of the Kcncrnl spirit of Unrest and uncertainly following the war. Over In tho Senate tho bees are buzzing around Senators Lodge nnd I'enroso, who nro hoping for unity when the timo for organization comes. Two i three Senators, notably Borah, Norrls nnd Kcnyon, nro still supposed to bo off the reservation with respect to Senator Penrose's chairmanship or tho Kinanco Committee, but the "get-together" on tho leaguis of nations and tho reasonable nd justment of appointments on the House side nro believed to operate favorably to the Pennsylvania Senator. Penrose is not unpopular with many of tho leading Demo crats, so there is very little opposition to 'him from that point of lew. In tho House, the fight against Mann , may .have left some sores. It Is hoped not, ibut when more than 130 men, many of (thorn influenced by lotal newspaper senti ment are looking forward to advancement In public life it is mighty difficult to satisfy them ill. So far as Mann and tho new Speakei Glllett, nro concerned, they will piobnli get along all right, but some of the nniMtlous spirits who turned in for lil cli have Indicated an Inclination to ask fDi tnoie than they have lecehed, which ma 'cad to further trouble. In the event of tumble, Mann will probably be a leader vvltii n vengeance. He will be In tho same osrmn on tho floor that Champ Clark wfjl be in, nnd as the two men are strong friends nnd expert parliamentarians they may help lo make tho new session the most interesting of modern '.imes. "ILAniC has been surprised to find oppo- silion In his own party, which his friends suspect is not due so much lo his gruff personality, as the Democratic insur gents allege :is It Is intended to be a check to the ex-Speaker's presidential aspirations. It is something of a colncidenco that "bad manners" should now bo alleged against both Clark and Mann. Everybody con cedes tho intellectual integrity and the legislative ability of the two men. They are held b (heir Washington friends to br incorruptible and therefore non persona grata with i o lobbjlsts. Mann undoubt edly has ofTi nded many Republicans by sticking t Ins woik when ho could have been out making speeches or playing the gnme of goorl fellowship. He lias1 hurt the feelings of insny a man by short nnd sharp answeis to ,i luiries propounded when his mind was filled with legislative detail. For this latter wnrlc he has been called "the great omnia hunter." Clark Is as vvaim-hearted as any man in the House and can be brought to tears by n. mete lrference in kindly terms to members- f b family, but his handshake is like that of h pump handle nnd his mono syllabic drawl is enough at times to freeze tlie bloud nf the warmest hearted commit tee thacver came to Washington. But Clark is a lighter and has the ear of the count r.v Ho quit the. Speaker's chair with the Iicatty good wishes of Republicans and Democrats alike. If the thirty-odd Demo cints who have signed up against his leadership r poct to bowl him out of the presidontia race because he is not particu larly "sot" on President Wilson's views on certain public questions they are counting without then- host. Ch-unp and Claude Kltchln and others who hav'o been upon the Job during the war Congress will bo as readv to take up tho cudgels If the insur gent Democrats start something ns Maun will be leady to take them up If he is crowded into a corner by insurgent Re publicans. The situation is one that might well bo considered by thoo distinguished harmonlzeis, the Honoiable Rr'er lla, of Indiana, nnd the Honorable Br'er Cum mings, of Connecticut. BUSY fellow is W. II. P.

THE usual distribution of congressional seed is a sure harbinger of spring. And strange as it may seem, there are almost as many "garden-sass" growers.
