FniN.T, June :0, 1I FINISH THE JOB fpHE State Senate has ratified the equal suffrage amendment to the federal constitution by an almost "unanimous vote. The House 13 planning to take similar action next Tuesday. That it will ratify the amendment is expected. When it acts this pi eat Re publican state will take its place in the front ranks of those keeping step with the evident demands of the nation. We i?hall be a few days behind Illinois and New York, but the vital fact is that we shall have acted as soon as convenient after the amendment was submitted to Die Legislature. 1 This is not a partisan question, but from the beginning thete have been more Republicans in Congress and out of it who have worked and voted to place the women of the country on a political equality with the men. The job will be finished, and with the b"earty co-operation of the Republican States. THE LOTTERY OF DEATH TyRECTOR KRUSEN, with a sense of '-' responsibility for the protection of the helpless, has urged that the use of fireworks be prohibited this Fourth of July, but the Mayor has shifted the re sponsibility to the police department and dealers are laying in a stock of fire crackers and such like things, apparently fejonthe theory that the people iJught to be ifeaUowed -to celebrate. t&jiBut "people can celebrate without en dangering life. Patriotism can be ex pressed in other ways than by burning IS eunpowder. It is not too late yet to A atrrange for a safe and sane Fourth, and jJ 'thus prevent the drawing of the diead 'i lottery on that lay, the prize tickets of 'i which will go to the parents of the chil- fT dren who are almost surely to be killed before nightfall. SLAPPING HIM ON THE WRIST "DIGAMY seems to be treated as a -- trivial offense. A man eonvicted of marrying two women while he had a wife still living has just been sentenced to im prisonment for two years and six months. The women whom he married illegally will suffer a more grievous penalty than he, It is difficult to estimate the suffer ing of a sensitive woman who has been deceived by a man into contracting an Illegal marriage with him. If the man had used brute foice, he might have been sentenced to imprison ment for fifteen years. But when he is guilty merely of fraud, he seems to get oflf with a slap on the wrist. When we have women lawmakers they may insist on more adequate punishment for all crimes against them. NO FACTORY SOVIETS ITTOOSE extreme radicals and parlor - Socialists who hold that an employer has no rights which an employe is bound to respect and insist that, after all, the employe owns the business, will be shocked and grieved by the strange mani festation of sanity in the convention of the American Fedeiation of Labor. That convention has defeated a lesolu iion demanding that the workmen in each factory be allowed to select their own foreman. In the course of the de bate one of the delegates said that if the Resolution were' passed the federation -would next be asked to demand that the yorkingmen be lepresented on the board of directors of the employing corporations. ,V ims is wiiiii. a iul 01 amiauie social O Wfnrmer have been askino- for.

JUSTICE WILL NOT SPARE GERMANY IF SHE BALKS It Is Her Own Fate, No Longer That of Civilization, Which Hangs Upon the Decision Which Her Chronic Shufflers Must at Last Make NCE before, at n supreme crisis, the option of accepting justice or flout ing it was submitted to Germany. For the characteristic reason that moral strength was meaningless to her khe chose the latter couise. That was in July, 101 1, when Sir Edward Grey pro posed arbitration as a substitute for im pending universal strife. The lecurrencc after neaily five years of an opportunity for epochal decision is (he last that will be available. The scene, is of unparalleled and fateful solemnity, for never before have ethical and physical might forged a sword of such invinci bility and dazzling luster. By rejection of the tieaty of Versailles or by n shift ing, evasive leply. that weapon will be put into play which will not cease until the aims which it symbolizes are at tained. The awful leality of this instiumcnt is probably much moie keenly appre ciated by Germany than external indica tions suggest. That i-he has failed, how ever, to comniehend it completely is evi dent from hei insidious and oblique tac tics at the peace table, fiom her per sistently uiuepentant attitude and from her eleventh-hour efforts to confuse and corrupt the public opinion of civilization. Foitunately, her struggles along this last line have been largely futile. In France, in Britain, in Italy and America the conviction abides that justice, more imposing because of the magnitude of the offense than ever before in history, is the buidon of the treaty. Occasionally, however, a befogged sen timentalism, a perverted mawkKhness has obtruded itself. Advocacy of a code so pernicious involves a total misconcep tion of the spirit which animated the as sociated powers at the beginning of the war and still moves them at its immi nent close. In particular, the meaning of the armistice has been at times fla grantly misinterpreted. Of the two parties to that truce on November 11, 1918, but one enjoyed the privilege of a free choice. Theoretically, Germany could have continued the con flict. Practically her doom was as clearly written by the strategic and numerical strength of her foes, their equipment and their supeib morale as though the campaign had been pursued to its culmi nation in a Sedan or a Waterloo. The Teutonic sense of realities when they are at last unescapable prevailed. It was inevitable that the fallen empire should sign the pact to cease fighting. No such obligation halted the other combatants. What the Allies clearly recognized on armistice day was the spirit of humanity which shuddeted at useless sacrifice when the ends of a long outraged justice were to be gained with out further bloodshed. But Foch sheathed his sword in firm trust that rightcousnehs was not to be cheated of a .scintilla of its stupendous victor j. It was with that conviction that civili zation made its independent choice to stack arms. It is with that same confidence that it will shoulder them again in indication of principles just as inspiring as they were in the darkest dajs of the war( agony. German hypocrisy having failed to ob scure the issue during the period of the peace deliberations, it lemains for Ger man impenitence, of which there are nu merous disgusting signs, to challenge the temper of justice by a refusal to sign the treaty. It is hardly conceivable that the frenzy which has brought the Teutonic dominion to the dust will not be mode rated in this final crisis. If, however, it should not, new and terrible testimony of the ancient truth that those whom fate designs for destruction are Grst made mad will be recorded. The last attack upon a lefractory Ger many is certain to let loose passions goaded by the most appalling provoca tion, though hitherto held in check for nearly five years. The Germany which is physically untouched by desolating war, the Germany which has capitalized to the utmost of its ability the plea for mercy, the Germany which faces the future surrender of part of its wealth, while some of its victors have immediate knowledge of what the most frightful losses mean, will by perversity arouse a righteous anger of immeasurable in tensity. The poilu has admittedly chafed at or ders which seemed subversive of the doc trine of atonement. Belgium will recall the four years of violation, Britain the sea-slaughter, America the stem and lofty principles for which she entered the fray. One orgy of wrath can, of course, never compensate for another and the invasion of Germany, should it become necessary, will doubtless be conducted along civil ized and honorable lines. But the pres sure that will be exerted will he alto gether different from the beneficent rule which has prevailed in the Rhineland since the armistice. The Hun as Shylock will undergo the punishment of Shylock. Such mercy as has been shown will make way for jus tice, and its assertion will be unmodified, scrupulously comprehensive. The unique warfare which will prevaiPwill be marked by the complete capacity of one side to carry out its Intentions and the utter inability of the other to resist them, Germany, once again subjected to the rigid blockade, Germany without a fleet, without the protection of her North sea J mine fields, without the once formidable EVEtflXG PUBLIC LED(DK PHILADELPHIA, general staff, without munitions nnd big guns, without an army capable of more than police duty, will, If she repudiates the treaty or hedges, forfeit the la3t slender thread of respect which has re strained civilization from writing n more drastic peace. When that thin fiber is cut flic victory of the Allies and America will be defined in such a way that trick cry, propaganda and Hun bluster will mock its own lying words, Americans, despite their hopes for n world structure of peace and the estab lishment of reciprocal civilized relntions between the nations, are n no mood to tolerate violation of the principles for which they poured forth blood and u ensure. If Germany is recalcitrant she is pte ciscly of the moral complexion that she was while this nation was driving her back in the Argonne forest. If the march beyond the Rhine is begun next week it will not mean a resumption of the war; merely its continuance. Our deteimination that it should end vight was lapturously encouraged by the larmistice, and we have so accustomed oursehc to that emotion that some of us have not always paused to define the indestructibility of our lesolution. That will be apparent if Germany believes that she can embarrass civilization by tem porarily postponing the inevitable. The piophets who insisted that the con flict could not end until the summer of 1919 weie cannier than they realized. 11 must end then, either with German signa tures on Monday or else with German humiliation as deep as the lance of justice can drive it. The Allies do not choose this latter method. They have outlined a vastly easier path for the foe to follow. It is his own fate and not now the fate of civilization which hangs upon his deci sion. ' GENERAL WOOD'S SPEECH THOSE who heretofore have been judg ing the views of Major General Wood largely on the scant excerpts of his ad dresses which trickled out of the West must have been pleasantly surprised by the moderation and liberality of his views on a wide lange of subjects covered in his addiess at the University of Penn sylvania commencement cxcicises. While it is true that the general did not specifically discuss the most impor tant topic before Americans today the league of nations there was not a word in his speech which convicted him of either blind or partisan opposition to the covenant, quite contrary to some of the ideas he was quoted as having expressed in the coin belt. The nearest approach to the subject was the sentence in which he said that he was opposed-to "anything that inter feies with our essential sovereignty or with our traditional policy in 1 elation to international affairs," and certainly no earnest and intelligent supporter of the league like Mr. Taft, for example would admit for an instant that it comes within that category. In fact, Mr. Taft and others have clearly dissipated such feai. The general's cordial acknowledgment of the value of arbitration and the de ferring of war until its efficacy has been tested, as well as his repetition of the Rooseveltian foimula of pieparedness, might have been uttered by any good citizen, be he Republican or Democrat, soldier or civilian. The logic is unassail able. Likewise his lefeiences to the re turning soldiers and the questions of capital and labor, which latter, if not any moie specific than President Wilson's amiable but vague generalizations on this theme to Congiess, were as loundly and emphatically stated. Here was no fire eating, saber-rattling militarist nt all, which is something well woith noting of the utterances of a man who has spent the best years of his life as a profes sional in the business of pieparing for war. The change from those misleading tricklings of his remarks out of the West is welcome. Also significant. Either the general was badly misrepresented or else, like most wise men, ho has been learning much on his recent travels among the people around the country. "Sunlight is the poor Light in the man's ultra-violet Darkness tajs," declared a speak er at the convention of the National Institute of Homeopathy, and recommended sun bathing o the nude body. Hut where is a poor man to go to get it? "I don't get this na It Won't Stop tion league." said the the Game Senator "It doesn't give AVashmgton any more of a show than she has in the Amer ican League." Just for that they are not going to play in our park if I can help it." So he proceeded to gum up the admission tickets. The belief that the Tactical failure of the Germans to sign the treaty will mean a resumption of the war is based on a misconception. There is uo more fight in Germany. But she may perceive the tactical advantage of a position in which she h forfed to terms which she may later wish to lepudiate. An American ooramls- Too Great a hion in Albania has dis- Sacriflce covered that theie is no demand1 there for woman suffrage. An Albanian woman may secure the right to vote and smoke and own property simply by swearii.g never to marry. To win these rights, however, it would seem she has to sacrifice the greatest of woman's rights the right to change her mind. ; "The play's the thing!" Hamlet's said Aagc, Prince of Successor Denmark, as he pulled in a Jackpot. That the young Dane Is a Jolly dog Is the opinion of the United States army officers who in structed him in the mysteries of draw poker on the transport America. Prince Aage will star in this country several months long enough, we hope, to prove that there is no truth in the assertion that the "timcy are out of joint." "Better the end with terror than terror without end," declared a Berlin merchant who favored the signing of the treaty.

The name lonineJ largi- in my boyish fancy. My memory re calls it now ns a thrce-story-rcd-brlek-country town. The only really nice homes nere along the waterfront: nnd some of them wore nothing to be proud of even In the architecture or cleanliness of their facades. The sidewalks were of brick wqrn into unsightly holes in frequent places. The Susquehanna river side wn a precipitous and clayey batik, with n fringo of driftwood along the edg. of the placid water, thnt wa in turn decorated with an occasional bow knot of tin cans and other rubbish. The main thoroughfare Market street nn that unforgettable Fourth of July was deseilcil except for a few groups of young fellows nnd girl, the latter dressed in white, enming baskets containing materials for a picnic. The busy square was a market place, rmplv nnd deserted. The inuttlioiisc, with Its colonial tug-ge-tion, was the most Imposing building in the town net to the squat brown structure on the hill wTtii Karnak-like columns known as the Capitol. Some kindly soul informed me that the nnlv amusement was a picnic "on the island." J was rowed over in a skiff, stayed an hour or two watching some girls nn.l joung follows dancing, returned to the town nnd spent the remainder of thnt disconsolate and disappointing day around the Pennsyl niua station down in the hollow waiting for n train home. IJVIJ often wondeied sinee where the Har risburg of 1S73 kept its fire horses! Pos Biblv it hadn't gotten beyond the man power nnd the bucket brigade stnge ! Tiveli" years later, when I made my first entry into Ilarrishurg ns a legislative cor respondent. I discovered that they then kept the fire horses at pasture somewhere out on Third street, now n populous region of pretty homes. In those days fires were in frequent nnd the volunteer department was small. Theie was one engine company, down on Chestnut street I think, that pastured its hnises between fires. It was cheaper to pasture them than to pen them up and feed them in the lirehouse. When nn alarm was sounded two volun teeis would leap on a spare horse, bare back, and go clattering and smashing out to the pasture. Ten minutes later they would return on a dead gallop, one on each horse, with an escort of yapping dogs nnd shouting urchins in the rear, while crowds lined the street and hung from the windows wntching the fire (onqtiering heroes come. It was a great day in Israel for the Har tishurg populace when the fire tocsin called the horses home from pasture HAHIIISRURG had the finest fanners' market in central Pennsylvania thirty yeais ago. Two or three times a week Market square, now the throbbing heart of this wonder city, was abloom with masses of old-fashioned flowers nnd redolent of the earthy fragrance of early fruits and vege tables bej ond compare. Rolls of butter in white cloths; smear ease it's cottage cheese now. smear ease is ulgnr Dutch cheese in little "pats," and saucer cheese flanked by gallon crocks of apple butter; split baskets of dried apples apple suits with now nnd then a iar of golden honey strained, or it might he honey in the comb, were Fet out in lnvish arrav. The market opened at daylight with the dew still on the flowers. The odor of it all, suggests e of the wide river-fields nnd glo rious sunshine of old Dauphin, is in my nostrils yet. Never was there such a market As for the farmers, they- were mostly Pennsylvania Dutch ; SIcnnonites, men in their broad -brimmed hats, and their women in queer little Mack poke bonnets; River Brethren, Araish and Dunkards were mixed up with n liberal sprinkling of the descend ants of the Scotch-Irish of the post-revolu-tionarv period. BUT the farmers' mnrkot of Market square disappeared long years ago. Its existence is a legend to the present genera tion. In its stead downtown Harrlsburg finds a substitute within the walls of a huge double brick structure on Chestnut street. At C o'clock one morning last week I found the plain, thrifty, early-rising citizens con verging toward it as a matutinal center of attraction, basket on arm. I followed the ero'vd. It was an fnteiesting and busy scene at that hour. There was the same questioning as to prices and the character of the fruit. It was n bigger market than the old nl fresco affair in Murket square; there was greater variety in the display of food and a vastly wider difference in the sellers thereof. There were products on sale that were never heard of in the old market. Spaghetti and Camembert cheese; Florida oranges and cantaloupes from Texas; Spanish mackerel and California lettuce, and all the other exotic luxuries of sea and soil. Instead' of the quaint caps of the Slen nonitn women were bare-headed Greek and Italian goddesses in calico. One looked In vain for the square cut whiskers and clean shaven upper lip of the Biver Brethren, the butter bowl hair cut of the Amish, Now and then I overhenrd a bit of Conversation in Pennsylvania Dutch, but modern Eng lish, with now nnd then the accent and graceful gesture of the Italian, prevailed. By these tokens I knew the old Harris burg had passed away. FIFTEEN years since tli-e magician of twentieth-century progress touched the municipal pride, of the capital city and wakened It to a new and radiant existence. The transformation has been proceeding each year with accelerated Impulse. The cobble-strewn water's edge and the clayey banks of the Susquehanna have dis appeared. In their stead is a magnificent revetment, or river wall, that holds sug gestions of Venice near the Arsenal. Above and behind it is a boulevard whose stately trees, minus the bordering residences, recall the ancient Toltcc Highway of Tula in the heart of old Mexico. This Riverside Drive, with its gray retain Inc walj, is the most beautiful and imposing work of its kind In the United States.
