Too often in the past the public has ' suffered helplessly from the postmaster general's arrogance. This time, how ever, the people of Pennsylvania are in trenched strongly behind a constitutional bulwark. It is direct imputation of state sovereignty when Mr. Burleson pursues his reckless rate-raising methods in flat defiance of the Public Service Commis sion, the legal sanction of which is in dispensable to the enforcement of laws regarding corporations chartered in this commonwealth. The excuse that his action is a War measure is absurdly flimsy. The war is over. Unless there is any validity in 'sheer tyranny there is no palliation for Mr. Burleson's presumption. He simply .throws down the gage to state sover eignty. Mr. Schaffer takes it up. The contest should not be ended un til the highest courts 'have decided whether or not Pennsylvanians are still entitled to enjoy their explicit constitu tional privileges. SHIFTING WINDS NEITHER Mr. Pepper nor Mr. Hitch cock added anything new to general knowledge of the .proposed league of nations in their debate at the Metropoli tan Opera House. They reiterated old arguments and traversed ground long familiar to any one who has even cas ually followed contemporary criticism of the American peace plan. What the debate did show, however, was that the inevitable reaction has set in among those critics who some weeks ago seemed immovable in their opposi tion to a new system of international relationships. Mr. Pepper, for example, admitted the necessity for a league of nations, though he was, at the beginning, seemingly opposed not only to the de tails of the Paris covenant, but to the principle as well. The great and indis pensable second thought is having its effect. We may look forward to the next session of Congress with the assurance that Mr. Lodge and his associates will react much as Mr. Pepper has done after p.- calmer contemplation of the league-of-nations plan and a better knowledge, made available through the experience of the last, few weeks, of the forces opposed to the covenant provisions in Europe.

Yet tho annual concert and operatic record of Philadelphia, Now York, Chicago and Boston will, unquestionably surpass both in quality and quantity tllo sum total of yearly achievement in any four cities of continental Europe. 'Even tho war, so baneful in its effect on certain other nr tistic fields, failed to retard this develop ment. In spite of obstacles most of our great symphony orchestras have thriven brilliantly throughout the world up heaval. In the season that is drawing to a close, Mr. Stokowski's organization has made a superb record. There has also been rich artistic refreshment in many of the Metropolitan Company's opera bills, while exceptional geniuses like Rachman inoff and Heifetz have vastly .stimulated the concert stage activities here. Surely this potent interest in music must eventually result in the growth of a significant school of native composers. Aside from our deficiency in that re gard America is indeed, ns Mr. Stokowski has described it, the foremost of music mnking countries. WE ARE ALL MEMBERS OF ONE GREAT BODY And Workers Should Not Be Indifferent When Their Employers Confer on Legislative Programs WHEN the wape-cainers sec in the papers today the reports of the din ner to Senator Penrose at the Manufac turers' Club last night they arc likely to pass them by. Of what interest to them aie gather ings of bankers and manufacturers and politicians? The workers too often think the men with money live in a different sort of world and have forgotten that thcic is such a thing as human brotherhood. And there is occasionally justification for this view. But the excuse for it docs not obtrude itself .-o often as it used to do. The world is learning that brother hood pays in dollars and cents. The re ligious teachcis have been saying this for centuries, but they have been talking to deaf cars and presenting their illus trations to blind eyes, yet they have not been discouraged. They can take heart now because within recent years great employers of labor have increasingly recognized that employer and employe are members of one great organism, and that when one member of the body suf fers all the members are inconvenienced. Although the speakers at last night's dinner discussed political and economic questions primarily from the point of view of the employer, not one of them was ignorant of the fact that the rights of the employe aie involved equally with those of the employer in the legislative program discussed. No one should forget that the pros perity of America is due largely to tho past activities of the Manufacturers' Club and similar organizations. As Congressman Moore points out on this page todav, theie was a time when this club was the leader in the demand for an adequate protective tariff syMem. The success of its efforts has brought good wages and comfortable living con ditions to the woikcrs in protected in dustries not only in Pennsylvania, but in every other state. Tho Penrose din ner, attended by 200 business men, is evidently a move in the campaign to secure by legislation a guarantee that the old-time prosperity bhall be made secure The outline by Senator Penrose and Senator Watson of what must be done commends itself to the common sense of the average man. It deserves serious consideration for the reason that these senators are Republican leaders who will be influential in the new Congress, and can assist in doing that which should and must be done. The first duty of Congress, after pass ing the appropriation bills held up by the last Congress, is to undo many of the things which the Democratic Con gresses have done. Some of these things were necessary because of war condi tions, but they have continued long enough. For example, aibitrary power was del egated to the executive departments, and was used in an aibitrary manner. The excuse for this legislation no longer exists. We must return to the whole some division of power between the executive and Congress at the earliest possible moment. The government has been permitted to take over vast private entei prises, such as the railroads and the telephone, tele graph and cable lines, and it has been allowed to interfeie to such an extent in the financial affairs of gieat business enterprises which have remained in the control of their owners that nothing of importance could be done without per mission from Washington. The financial condition of the railroads is such that it will take years to untangle the complications that government con trol has brought about Wages have been increased no one complains about the payment of a fair day's pay for a fair day's work to any man but freight and passenger rates have not been raised enough to provide money to pay the new scale of wages. An adjustment of rates to meet the new burdens is imperative before the railroads are handed back to their owner.?. There must be, too, a reconsideration of the whole tax piogram, so that the burden may lest more equitably upon the shoulders of those who have to bear it. The habit of extravagance contracted during the years when the government was spending billions for war and no one was counting the cost of anything must be changed, and the easiest way to do it is to oust tho men who have been spending public money as if nothing mattered, and to leplace them by men who will conserve the proceeds of the fix laws. But if business is to adjust itself to peace conditions when submarines do not interrupt international trade, the Underwood tarttt law must do repealed Underwood tariff law must bo repealed and n new law must bo enacted. It will bo a mistake to repass tho old Dinglcy law, for conditions have changed sinco it served its ends. We are confronted by the necessity of ndjusting our tariff laws to the needs of n nation which is tho creditor and not the debtor of tho rest of tho world. Tho interest and the principal of tho debt owed to us will have to be paid In goods, for our debtors have nothing else with which to pay. But they cannot be allowed to flood our markets with low priced goods to be sold in competition with goods made by high-priced Amer ican Inbor. Every workingman is intensely inter ested in the protection of our own mar kets against ruinous competition with foreign-made goods. And every working man who gitcs a moment's thought to the matter knows that the employer who has to ncll his goods is the man who must take the lead in demanding that Con gress pass the proper laws. If the tariff is too high to enable the foreigner to sell his goods here at Amer ican prices, he cannot pay w.hat he owes us. It -will tax the ingenuity o'f trade and financial experts to. draft the right kind of a tariff law to serve the needs of the nation in these trying days. So far as the men who gathered at the Manufactureis' Club, incidentally to do honor to the senior senator from this state, but ically to talk about the kind of laws needed in the present emergency so far as these men recognized therjiew conditions and proposed to meet them, they should be welcomed by workers and employers alike as leaders to be followed. "MONROEIZING" THE WORLD TT WILL be interesting to watch the A scramble for credit for the specific shield to the Monroe Doctrine incorpo rated in the league-of-nations covenant. Democratic partisans will doubtless make th3 most of the fact that President Wil son offered the amendment and that Colonel House prepared it. Republicans will point to their critical heavy artillery as the chief weapon in winning the proviso. Some futuro day, when everybody is a little calmer, it may perhaps be realized that American principles won no super lative victory this week when the cate gorical Monroe Doctrine clause was in serted in tho revised draft The really great battle was gained for justice some time ago when the stipulations regarding national aggression were agreed upon by the league-of-nations committee. By the very nature and structure of the pact the western hemisphere was ad mirably protected. All the revisers have lately done is to give a name to a par ticular application of a broad principle. No wonder the amendment was "adopted without prolonged opposition." As Mr. Taft has repeatedly pointed out, the entire world was "Monroeized" by the regulations of the original pact. Not even a tory diplomatist can be ex pected to fight long concerning a pro posal the meaning of which is merely redundant. As to sincere champions of the world league, who comprehended its scope from the start, it would be ungracious of them to object because the document is now adorned with superfluous language. Some persons have to be told a thing several times over, and in several different ways, before they will believe it. Their glee over the alleged "victory" will happily stimulate the cause of world peace and incidentally amuse others who may realize that tho rejoicing, although welcome, is decidedly belated.

It's now up to the Soviets to change the Bavarian capital into "Communich." Defeated at Ungvnr, the Bolshevists seem to have met with the Czechs in a double sense. Was it perhaps because of his experience in the handling of red materials that the Munich extremists selected a bricklayer to head the government?" Some day perhaps we'll know if the difference of opinion among the diplomatists in Paris was as great as it was among the newspaper correspondents. Senators Borah, Polndexter and Reed nre doubtless preparing thunderously to charge tho delightful city of Geneva with constituting a capital offense. It may he snfely snid that there will be some high old times in the airplane taxis that are to wing it between New York, At lantic City and Philadelphia. "Justice," declared Plato, "is giving cn.eh one his due," but if he had only pur sued the thought in terms of francs it would have been so much easier for France to help speed the pence-making. The little red echoolbouse, said educa tion experts in this city yesterday, must go. And yet how different the little red school house was from the big red schoolhouse that has appeared in RuBsIa ! "Madame Wlthout-Carft" (Sans-Gene) was the popular title genially bestowed on the French laundress whom Napoleon made Duchess of Danzig.'

CONGRESSMAN MOORE'S LETTER The Manufacturers' Club and tho Tariff Good Work of Mrs. Dolan't Visiting Nunes -A Proposed Elsenlohr-Bremer Debate on Tobacco Washington, I). O., April 12. THE Manufacturers' Club under the. new president, Alfred K. Burk, will have a fine chance to express Itself on the tariff and kindred subjects If It wishes to do so. The new Congress will want the views of busi ness men and as a rule will seek to keep close to public sentiment on economic ques tions. In days gone by the manufacturers of Philadelphia were lenders in matters of this kind. Even before the old Manufac turers' Club wns organized, with Thomas Dolan as president, men like William H. Grundy, father of Joseph j Joseph P. Truitt, James Donk, Jr., Charles II. Salmon, James Pollock, the Dobsons and the Bromleys were active in keeping Congress posted. They were very effective under the Harrison and McKlnley administrations, and at one time a group of them were known in Washington ns "The Tariff Troupe." When the Manu facturers' Club moved Into Its new and at tractive headquarters at Broad and Wnlnut streets and began to reach out for a larger membership many of the old "tariff barons" had pnssed nwny. The spirit of the club seemed to broaden as the personnel in creased. The founders ot the new rluh, headed by' Nathan T. Folwell, Joseph R. Grundy, John Fisler, Alfred E. Burk and Richard Campion, were recognized as pro tectionists. They influenced the passage of resolutions, hut the club as a club has not taken so direct an interest in public ques tions that come to Washington as did the Dolan-Dobson-Grundy group ot the Mc Kinley era. It is not altogether clear that the older worthies would quite approve the free-port idea as it has recently been in dorsed by some of the prominent club mem bers, or that thev would fall for tho in dorsement ot A. Mitchell Palmer as "a non partisan," as did certain of the dyestuffs people at a recent clubhouse luncheon. In respect to the new attorney general, they would likely have recalled his part in fram ing the Underwood tariff law when even the liberal Democracy of Samuel J. Randall was distasteful to him. But this is what some people call "a progressive age," and ns "the old order changeth" it may be that the Manufacturers' Club as now constituted, under the live-wire leadership ot 1'red Burk, will produce some idea3 of which Con gress may take cognizance. JAMES FRANCIS BURKE, of Pitts burgh, has never quite got it out of his head that Senator Knox should be a Re publican candidate for President. James has been advancing this thought for a num ber of years, and there nre many Pennsyl vanians who agree with him. At one time there wns reason to believe the former sec retary of state would have been pleased to enter the contest. He has the qualifications and is highly respected in the Senate, but during recent years has not appeared to care to discuss the subject. For that matter, the senator does not talk politics much, anyhow. He prefers the work of the Senate and is content to let his colleague, the senior senator, Penrose, nttcifd to the political drudgery. In some respects, however, the revival of Knox talk is not displeasing. A candidate of the type of the junior senntor is what the Republican lenders nre looking for, nnd Pennsylvania, the strongest Re publican state in the Union, lias had no President since James Buchanan; in fact, has had no other. SOMETHING in the bulletin sent out by the Visiting Nurso Society of Phiadcl pbia appeals to our civic pride. The influ enza epidemic which introduced itself to the American public at Boston and that while the Atlantic Deeper Waterways Association was in convention there soon reached Phil adelphia and Washington in due course be fore spreading west to San Francisco and Los Angeles. It created n demand for doc tors and nurses far beyond tho available supply. The poor at the capital suffered along with those in Philadelphia. It was a time when the dead-houses remained filled for want even of grave-diggers to lay away tho remains. During this period, when the army and navy were seeking help, the Phila delphia society had sixty or more faithful nurses going into afflicted homes, doing yeo man service. It is the kind of work for which the good women in charge of it Mrs. Thomas J. Dolan is president of the society are to be congratulated. And as to the nurses apart from the satisfaction that comes to those who know they are engaged in a noble calling they are able to earn more on the average than schoolteachers or stenographers. Is it any wonder that many high-class young women, rather than be useless, helpless butterflies in society, are connecting up at some of the hospitals for a pittance to prepare for a work that not only pays well but enables those who qualify to be of genuine service to the community and to themselves? SUBJECT for discussion at the next meet ing of the Wishbone Club: "Tho rati fication of the prohibition amendment having put the liquor dealers on the sliding board and cost the government 51,000,000,000 in taxes, shall a prohibitory amendment against the manufacture and sale of tobacco, cigars, cigarettes and snuff be now in order?" If the Eisenlohr brothers, Charley and Lou the commodore, could be induced to take the affirmative and the Bremer brothers, Lew and Harris, would take the negative, and AI Swoyer should be set up as referee, the de bate would bo worth going miles to hear. In such a discussion Charley Eisenlohr, by reason of his contact with Penrose, Kitcbln, Simmons and other statesmen who adjusted the tobacco taxes, would have a slight ad vantage over his opponents, but the Bre mers could offset this by bringing in Gib boney or Doctor Mutchler, who are up to date on prohibition legislation. WONDER how many remember that David J. Smyth, who is being talked 'of as a candidate for City Solicitor In opposition to the present incumbent, John I'. Connelly, was a newspaper reporter? The Jim Camp bell dinner to the active newspaper spirits of twenty-five years ago revealed the fact that Davy, who grew up in the office of the late Judge Henry J. McCarthy, did special work on the Public Ledger. Davy studied law while taking assignments for fires, mur ders and the like, and ultimately, through the influence of Billy McCoach antf Mayor Ashbrldge,' landed in the Letislature. His riso to director of the department of public safety under Mayor Weaver dame along In regular order. There is no trafning for po litical life like the' newspaper training. Rejoicing over America's alleged tri umph at the peace table could be authorita tively keener if one really knew how much opposition was actually encountered. It li now tima to pause a hit and re flect that the George Washington wasn't the ouly ship the President could have taken hud life really planned to rush out ot the i Quaiawaj. '.)'

How to Make Friends With the Artistes Tho dramatic critics we know arc mere Follyannas compared to their hotspur breth ren on western papers. This is the wny the critic of the Des Moines Leader felt about three lady vaudeville performers who dis pleased his fnstidibus eye: Effle Is an old jade of fifty summers, Jessie a frisky filly of forty, and Addle, the flower of the family, a capering mon strosity of thlrty-flAe.

Tho mouths of their rancid features opened lllte caverns, and sounds like the wailing of damned souls Issued therefrom. They pranced around the stage with n motion that suggested a cross be tween ths danFe du entre and fox trot strange creatures with painted races anu hideous mien. A Song In the Night The way 1 go lies through a lonely land ; The night is dark, without a single star. Dangers nnd pitfalls lurk on every hand; And ere the morning I must travel far. Long time I stood, my Bpirit filled with dread, Fearing to launch into the black unknown. Not knowing where my footsteps might be led, I dared not make the venture all alone. But since you came to me, dear heart and true, And in my hand your own so trustlnglaid, And whispered, "I will take the road with you," I walk the darkened pathway unafraid, EDWARD SEXTON JONES. Desk Mottoes War consistcth not in battle only or the net of fighting, but in a tract of time wherein. 'the will to contend by battlo Is sufficiently known. For as the nature of foul weather lieth not in a shower or two ot rain, but in nn inclination thereto of many days together, so the nature of war con sisted not in actual fighting, but in the known disposition thereto during all the time there is no assurance to the contrary. THOMAS HOBBES. in ieiiafnan. Master Hobbes, ot Malmcsbury, was a very shrewd thinker, nnd we should be pleased If our patrons would give the above a twice -over. We do not believe that the league of nations will give us perpetual sun shine in world affairs, but It will be suc cessful it it can create a "known disposi tion" against war as a means of settling grievances.
