"Hoth of these notes, fell due last Wednesday, July HO, and both were "aid. One was paid through our local bank here in York, which had received it for collection in the regular course of business. The other note was paid through, the Oirard Notional Hank, of Philadelphia. We, of course, have the canceled note. "Why did we arrange to borrow the money from the North IVnn Hank? Whv not? I knew the president, the cashier and some of the directors. It was a purely business matter and the amount desired small. In our business, in the course of a year, we probably borrow half a million dollars. I could hoi row $100,000 from several Philadel phia banks."

This statement was made by Mrs. William II. Abbey, chairman of jhe churchwomen's housing committee, In a letter to Director Krtisen, of the Department of Health nud Charities. The -letter was in reply to an article in the .Tune number of the health bu reau's bulletin in which It was stated that the chief remedy for bad housing condition is "money nnd education." Sajs "Education" is Negligible In her reply, Mrs. Abbey said, among other things: "The contention of the church women's housing committor is that there arc great numbers of utterly unfit houses offered to people as dwellings. who have 110 choice but to inhabit these houses or be on the street, nnd thnt no amount of 'education' can teach people sanitary habits who are com pelled to accept insanitarj living con ditions. "i'011 say the chief remedies for bad housing are 'money and education.' As churchwomen we must dissent from this statement. "Money and education arc of great importance, but over and above both, is the necessity for recognizing the truth of Mr. Itoosevelt's declaration, applying it to our city, that it 'can not be a good place for anj of us to live in, until It is a good place for all of us to live in.' "Heforc such a spirit, obstacles will go down, money will be forthcoming, and Philadelphia become iu truth a 'city of homes,' meeting the chullenge of a true democracy, that 'vcry child has the right to be born und reared un der such 'conditions as will make for health, both physical and moral; able to give' worthy and worthwhile citi zens to city, state and nation. "It goes without saying that educa tion is of great importance, and church - women are plauuing to give themselves to this work in the future, as they have done in the past, both as indi viduals, and through such organizations as tlie Octuvia Hill Association, the Philadelphia Housing Association, the Special Housing Service, etc. What we ask of the city, as means to this end is, that at least the standards of housing ns required by law shall be en forced.'

Hut it was a "leetle over done." Senator Lodge works dally with his prize exhibit of the strength of Con gress to Infuse a little subtlety into the direction of those mighty thews. People are beginning to think that be tween n chronic invalid and a woman who throws the piano at .vou every time jou conu' home tired from business the chronic invalid has certain attruotious. The unathletlc seven threaten to make themselves the real foreign relations committee. And thus Washington goen forwaid to the time when by a miracle of words which mean anything or noth ing all differences will disappear ami thc Senate ami Wilson Vill each claim; a great victory. Wilson a "Salesman" ' If the strategy of the Republican senators was borrowed from the buck pages of the magazine of a few years r.tro. when noble pictures 01 svt-piun; chests convinced us that by pu'llng our bieens against our triceps a few mln utes every morulng, we might glow into Samsons, the strategy of the "gia clous" man at the other entl of Per.u sylvauia avenue is borrowed if rom the much more modern textbooks ou the "art of salesmanship," "The smile that wins" radiates the much-traveled road between the Pies- ident's residence and thc acropolis of musclesi You have at ope extremity strength and at the other "gracious ness." The President is not only "grneious" toward France, In the .matter of that little treaty, but much more "grneious" toward the Senate. President Shows Ornciousness The two co-ordinate branches have changed rotes. Was the Senate weak? "We must show 'em that we are strong." Did the world say that the President was an autocrat? "I will show them how sadly I have been mis judged, how truly gracious I am." Hence the sending for Senator CJinm berjain, whom In his daya of confidence the President had snubbed.

Tli Polish Parliament yesterday rati fied the. German treaty nnd also the treaty for the protection of minori ties by a vote of 215 to 11.

Graclousness sltR as oddlj on the oc cupant of the White House as strength does upon the Senators. The men of tlfc Capitol go up the avenue in response to the executive Invitations. Remember these men have sat in fear of thc Presi dent for years. They nre for all the world like sehoolbojs sent for by -the principal. No one knows w-hat takes place at the White House, but every one knows what the schoolboy does when he returns from his interview with the principal standing against the schoolyard fence, surrounded by nn admiring crowd ,of other boys who haven't yet been' HVut for by the principal. "Brave as Lions" Afterward, Did you ever know a schoolboy who wasn't "strong" in his recounting of his heroic adventure with the master of the rrhool? So it is with the sena tors. Kveu those who do not beloug to the football team of the foreign rela tions committee, the big-muscled fel lows, are brave as lions as they throw out their chests .and tell how they dif fered firmly with the master, "giving it back to him as good as he sent. "1 told him that I, as a member of a co-ordinate branch of the govern ment, charged with responsibility rqunl to his" ever body emphasizes that idea iu some form or other "could not coiiM'i.'iitinusly accept his view of the league." "The dutj- to my country compelled mc to judge this grave question for in) self, and I should have to vote against the league unless substantial reservations were made nnd I did not believe that reservations sufficiently ftrong to satisfy m.v eoiisien.ee were likely to come out of the Senate." The "bojs" are having a great time talking to the "gracious" principal, and particularly telling about it afterward to the other "boys" and to the press. The result is thnt the nation gets all one side of this stor.v. the heroic and trtilv admiiable consclciitlntisncsn nf Hie Senate, the Inexplicable graciousnes which amounts to nlmost weakness of the President, who was once so sure of himself. And the story only comes from the heroes themselves. Wilson is acting as a salesman. Hut then by the paths of assumed "graclous ness" and assumed strength, we move forward to compromise, which is sure, and which the seveu have probably started. P. R. R.
