Maurcr to speak at the University of Pennsylvania did so under the scholastic impression that he would "add to the sum of human knowledge" they were seriously mis taken. The same is true of the authori ties which sanctioned the visit of the agitator. There was no mystery about Mr. Maurer's views. Attorney General Pal mer was under no delusion concerning them and he had no hesitancy in point ing to the president of the State Federa tion of Labor as a leader of objection y jable type which this commonwealth f could well spare. The University is to be commended for dropping the one-night Maurcr course from the curriculum. It is less easy to defend the policy which even considered the possibility of enlightenment from such a source. "Light" from James H. Maurer is of too reddish a hue to bo healthy for col lege students or for any sane citizen. THE ORCHESTRA IS SAFE rpHE success of the Philadelphia Or- chestra "drive" was pre-eminently worthy of the cause. Organized cam paigns for raising money have occasion ally been sources of irritation, but the Orchestra Association's efforts on behalf of an endowment fund inspired no such sentiment. It was a popular drive, fruit ful of enthusiasm and of the 51,000,000 necessary for the maintenance of one of the first artistic assets of the city. Philadelphia has bcenproud of its elo- , quent orchestra under the direction of the magnetic Stokowski. The impossi bility of sustaining the present high standard of achievement without a fund jls a financial bulwark was, however, ob .ot!S. Music lovers and the community as a whole can now take emphatic pleas ure 'in the thought that the future of the orchestra is secure. It is not merely n present delight, but a joy fortified with the attributes of permanence. Only the interest on the new fund will be expended. The same is true with re spect to the $800,000 raised within the past few years( Approximately $2,000, 000 is therefore available to preserve the enlightening and ennobling stimulant of good music in this city. Edward Bok, who was in charge of . the campaign representing the board of directors, was tireless, practical, tactful. He pleaded a popular case in a popular way. The assurance that the Philadel phia Orchestra takes its place perma nently with the nation's notable contribu tions to musical development is his re ward and the public's. Wo have given a definitely metropolitan stamp to our art. THE OCEAN'S ARGUMENT QOME of the storm-tossed passengers on the Howard, en route for the deeper waterways convention in Charles ton, were probably disinclined to listen to any arguments unless propounded on terra firma. Moreover, while the vessel was tumbling about amid the big rollers, 5t was hardly necessary to convince the victims of seasickness that the bosom of the Atlantic in autumn is rough and unfriendly or that a suave inland route would spare travelers many a bitter pang. Mayor-elect Moore, who successfully defied mal de mcr, was happily privi leged to regard the tempestuous waves as among the most active and impres sive propagandists for his cause. Even a "raging canal" is a thoroughly delight ful substitute for an angry ocean. Mr. .Moore's inland waterways program is unquestionably enhanced in appeal by the way the sea "acted up for him." An inside route for virtually all of the distance between Philadelphia or New York and Florida is a perfectly feasible project It can be realized by deepening the existing canals and providing ade quate channels in the sounds and bays. Citizens who lack enthusiasm for the plan could be instructed by a trip off Cape Hatteras this time of year. , THEE CHANGINGTIMES QNLY a few years ago English women were hunger-striking in jails because they Insisted on agitating for a vote which British statesmen wpm nnf ,.,;n! ,- .. .w ..wv TTfllfi, n'fj grant mem. wow a lady, who LAt . tuaa in Tia nn Amnpinn tn ....l , ,.,,. t lor parliament and she probably will elected bv the votes of womrn T . -Astor. who is strivintr for this nnn, : .

"I wish," she is telling the voters, "to create in Parliament a real concern for the wel fare; of, women and children." ' Contemporary economic history in .England makes it pretty plain that such x concern will be a dazzling novelty in " Commons, Parliament is accustomed to thinking1 of finance, trade, territorial am bitions, colonies, ships nnd the like. It required the war and a woman to suggest to British statesmen that women and children aro actually more important than any of these things. Perhaps, after all, the hunger strikes were worth while. WHAT OF "THE LESSONS OF VICTORY"? A REVIEW Fortunately for the World, the Purposes of the War Are Remembered by the Silent Majority IT IS not easy to maintain unshaken and untroubled opinions while passion sweeps the world' like a big wind. A year ago today in this place something was written about the lessons of the vic tory that came with the armistice. Babylon had fallen once again. Man's spirit was icvcrently upon its Knees. It was like an hour of revelations of truth and destiny. It did not seem that the mow! could pass without leaving some thing of eternal wisdom behind it. A rereading of what was written then makes the opinions of that moment seem almost woefully optimistic. War is seething almost everywhere upon the continent of Europe. It is flickering in Asia. There is not even an armistice be tween the Senate and the White House. The two indispensable groups in industry are glowering at each other and shouting wild threats across abysses of misunder standing. A pitiful group of half-mad people who have been advocating a re turn to barbarism and saagery arc being assembled for deportntion by a government that they wished to destroy with all other governments. Certainly peace has not yet come to the word." And yet, unless faith in hu manity i a misplaced faith, all the promises and implications of victory won in the greatest of wars still stand and flame to guide the race. The cliques and crowds that are filling the world with clamor nnd bitterness do not lead. Thcv only think they lead. Unon the majority that is not crazed with too much poverty or too much power lic3 the irsponsibility of every great decision. The destinies of nations and of civilization arc in it8? hands. It has a new enemy and that enemy is ig norance ignorance that is determined nnd belligerent, arrayed magnificently or going in rags, spuriously pious or frankly treasonable, polluting mass opinion or openly swinging a tot eh and furious as an army of devils. There are days when the very air seems heavy and suffocating with 'lies. Men who fear nothing else under heaven will cut corners and slip up convenient byways or avert their eves hurriedly rather than look a fact in the face or gaze upon the white and simple truth that alone can bring peace to, mankind. We in the United States cannot follow their example unless we wish to be utterly disarmed for all future responsi bilities and emergencies. That would be base. It would be unworthy. And it would be futile. It will be wiser to admit that there can be no substitute for righteousness and that nothing can ever take the place of truth. You might wipe out all the records of civilization and eliminate every suggestion of all that has ever been .hoped and thought and believed, and the passion for justice and truth would recur automatically at the heart of humanity. It is the very salvation of man, the justi fication of his intelligence and his claim to a place above the brutes. Kings and tyrants have fallen regu larly and empires have flamed in the wake of the quest which that emotion inspires. And there will be no peace until the goal is found. It is ignorance of one another and ignorance of instinctive human aims that make the way bitter and hard. But it requires little of charity to admit that almost every man means well and that few of them are ever willing to go into any sort of battle for what they do not believe to be right. Thus reasonable people find it hard to feel that any one is evil because he expresses himself and expends his talents as an organizer of industry. And it is difficult to feel that men who fought gallantly in the Ameri can army become dangerous, treasonable and disloyal by the mere act of getting into working clothes and asking for bet ter wages. Their leaders may be wrong-headed, embittered, selfish or ignorant. But nothing that has occurred, even in re cent months in America, should be ade quate to destroy our faith in the decency of the rank and file. There are men who would call the Good Samaritan an abom inable plutocrat, yet the Samaritan at bottom moved to the same impulses as the man he helped at the wayside. There are others who, had they lived in Baby lon, would have Renounced Isaiah as a dangerous Red and organized a posse to chase him from the city gates. Yet Isaiah, saving that he spoke with the voice of God and perhaps he did ut tered only the complaint that always since men began to aspire has been flung at the unrighteous who happen to be powerful: "He looked for judgment and behold oppression; for righteousness and be hold a cry!" When the lesson of victory is learned that cry will be itilled and not before. All the peoples of all nations are dis posed to give too much attention to those who still believe igviorantly that you can be unjust and survive and to others who, with the singular perversion of the inept and lazy-minded, hate any man who hap pens to have got hold of some money. The propagandists of these two croups have saturated the air with falsehood. There isn t one business man in a thou sand who deliberately wishes to be un- ist or cruel. And half the "Reds" of Europe are merely poor people tragically ignorant, bewildered with grief and dread and hunger. Bolshevism itself, as it is known in Russia, seen through the fogs of misunderstanding and rumor and frantic and futile and destructive as it is, turns upon, the world a face of misery and gray pain. There is too much talk of the ignorant foreigner. If the foreigner is ignorant KVENG n PUBLIC LEt)qERHILADfiLPHlA, ''TOBix" NpfyJEj&JSB' 11, he cannot help It, Ralher than hold his ignorance against him as if it were n crime it might be proper to put somo questions to the people who had his mind and spirit in keeping for centurion. There has been too great an effort to drive the foreigners in America, little effoit to lead them. If at last they ac cept dangerous or insane leaders who can blame them? What other leaders did they have? Who else manifested even the pretense of an interest in their lives? The very nature of the things they believe shows how desofatc n knowl edge these strangers nrc. Wc do not know whether the Russian Workmen's party was Emma Goldman or Ben Rcitman, the Goldman's greasy nnd white-handed parasite, sodden with un digested theory, who never did ti decent job of work in nil his life. But it is one or the other. It sounds like Ben. And there is something hnrsh to be said of a civilization that has left any people so hopelessly steeppd in ignorance as to make Rcitmans and Goldmnns possible. By the abolition of law, religion, ethics and government and order these unfor tunates have been told you achieve lib erty! There is libeity of the sort attainable by that method in the jungle. Hut it exists only for the tigers and the bull elephants, and is denied them when they are no longer able to fight for it. For all other created things in the anarchistic world there could be less liberty than there was for the people in Germany while there was freedom there for the Hohcnzollerns. Wherever there is violence of thought or action there is ignorance and seldom anything more deadly. And so collective judgment in the United States is to be put to a great test, since it must curb and balance and restrain the forces of ignorance that would deliberately over ride the safe barriers of democratic in stitutions. The common thought of the country has been carried to a new plane by the responsibilities of war and the equally heavy responsibilities of victory. That is certain. The lessons of a year ago are remembered by the people who do the least talking. The silent majority will have to lead and there are signs that it is actually leading. To the tribunal of its judgment all parties appeal. Its war now must be upon ignorance. And whatever is not for the welfare of the nation and the welfare of the race is founded in ignorance. Literacy or illit eracy plays no part in the final analysis. So long as the silent majority knows that the free institutions of government in the United States are perhaps the most precious thing left to the world out of human experience we may face the future with pride and assurance. And the silent majority knows. That was the great and unforgettable lesson of the victory. "CONCURRENT" LIQUOR LAWS . LAWYERS employer" by the brewers 1 and distillers havv. been saying that the prohibition constitutional amendment is unworkable because of its provision that Congress and the several states shall have concurrent jurisdiction to pass laws for its enforcement. Judge Bonniwell, of the Municipal Court, who was a candidate for the gov ernorship last year on an anti-prohibition platform, agreed with these lawyers in a letter which he wrote to this news paper last week. He said that the con current jurisdiction provision would pro duce "interminable conflict," or that the federal law would remain inoperative in New Jersey and Pennsylvania and pre sumably in all other states until these states passed concurrent laws. Attorney General Schaffer, who can not be suspected of special pleading, dis agrees radically with Judge Bonniwell. In another part of this newspaper today he charges the judge with ignorance of the meaning of "concurrent" as a legal term, and explains that "concurrent jurisdiction is that of several different tribunals, each authorized to deal with the same subject matter." As to the conflict between laws passed by two bodies with concurrent jurisdic tion the attorney general reminds the judge that it has been held that the law which is the most restrictive prevails. In practice this means that if Pennsyl vania had a law forbidding the sale of beverages containing more than 1 per J cent of alcohol, while the act of Congress limits the legal percentage to one-half of 1 per cent, the federal act would pre vail. The federal courts would enforce it and the state courts would enforce the state law," but no one would dare violate the more rigid statute for fear of being haled into the cotfrts with jurisdiction to inflict punishment. The conflict, therefore, between state and federal statute, according to the view of the attorney general, is of merely academic interest, for it will not affect the administration of justice in any way. This is the view of most, if not all, law yers not retained by the liquor interests. It is based on the general practice sup ported by decisions of the courts in spe cific instances. When the case gets be fore the Supreme Court in Washington it is the confident opinion of unpreju diced lawyers that that court will dis pose of the quibble so effectively that no one will have the audacity to attempt it again. Because of the fear Getting It Over thnt the railroads, re lying on the govern ment guarantee, might fnil to make appli cation to the Interstate Commerce Commis sion for n general Increase in rates, the Interstate commerce committee of the House of Representatives in n bill fonnnlly "re ported makes it obligatory to make such application within sixty days after the roads have been returned to private ownership.

PEACE AT THE FRONT News of the Armistice Left the So dlers Apathetic, Though It Meant Certainty of Life to Them Iy CAPTAIN WAL.TKK LON(5 TjlIOHTIN'G lit the world war ceased be- twecn Germany nnd the Allies one year iiKii today when the armistice was signed. To the "fnlks bnrk hnmc" the news meant a break in the long ntrnln of wntchliiK and waiting, mid utircntrlcted joy turned the country upside down. "Hemps of paper flow in snowy slmwerH from office window", work ceased, and It was one long jubilation. To the troops nt the front It meant u sud den HftiiiB of the strain and it left the men apathetic. They stood nbout, looked at each other, and found it hard to realize that the world of war in whirl they had lived had ionic to mi end, that before them stretched lone iitns of the same sort of life they had been accustomed to before wnr tore them from their homes. TO TI1K men behind the lines it mennt nn end of the weary grind, nn end to frantic efforts to be transferred to the front, nn end of countless cans of beans, countless piles of horseshoes, countless hoards of countless articles used by nn nrmy, nnd dinnlied on them to sort nnd forward while more fortunntc ones did the actual fighting. To the men nt the front it meant life. The lighting men had "written off" their lives so to speak. They expected to be killed sooner or later if it kept up long enough. The life thus bequeathed them by the armistice was therefore "velvet," as they phrased it. THK armistice meant quiet where sound hnd predominated nt the front. The guns censed booming nnd growling and rumbling. It gnve the same sort of feeling n man has who goes through a boiler factory on n Sun dav. Icr.Ything there to mnkc noise, but tint n sound. Hends bobbed up nlong the Germnn lines, hut strict orders against fraternizing went out. nnd the Americans kept to themselves and kept the Germans on their own side o.f the line. By and by the full significance of the thing-went home nnd the celebration com menced nlong the front lines. It wns after midnight when the news first came. A bit back regimental bands turned out, nnd played nnd blared, while the soldiers stood nbout nnd grinned nnd congrntulated ench other. Windows flew open, nnd thcFrcnch stuck out their heads nnd inquired eagerly if It was really the peace. The soldiers shouted confirmation. T1. HKN", from nowhere in particular, motor- trucks nppenred bearing crowds of French nnd Ilelginns from somewhere behind the Germnn lines. Men, women nnd children. Xot much jubilation : they seemed stunned nnd unable to realize. Whenever a truck stopped in n village the occupants exchanged n few words with the French and American soldiers, nnd thnt wns nil. The usual glass of vin blanc or vin rouge, a few slaps on the back, and the men turned in until the morrow. Along the front lines Very pistol lights. Hares, rockets nnd every sort of signaling fireworks in possession of the troops were sent off and gusts of cheer ing swept nlong the linns. From behind the German trenches came faint strains of music nnd indistinct shouting, After breakfast the French in the large towns nnd cities turned out in force. Men and women linked arms and paraded all day long and most of the night up nnd down and around, singing, cheering shouting, playing on horns nnd bugles. Flngs fluttered nt the hend of the column. TIII3 experience of n Philadelphia boy, Hugh Deeney, private In Company G, 14(lth Infnntrr, Thirty-seventh Division, wns typicnl of them nil, Deeney nnd his comrades were to go "over the top" nt 4 o'clock in the morning, nnd the news of the armistice put n stop to the plans for the push. "We were just outside n little ham let north of Sjtigem. Belgium," he said to day. "Wo were all dug In, ready to go over, nnd taking a bit of sleep when the news came. The next morning the whole popula tion of the little ullage, until that time in German hands, swarmed out, nil decorated with ribbons, with flags nnd horns nnd swept down on us oxer our trenches, nnd they hugged nnd kissed us nnd just over whelmed us. Geo! they were glad." Such was armistice day nt the front. Then for the first time came that historic ques tion : "When do we go home?" The assistant director of the Depart ment of, Wharves, Docks nnd Ferries says that ns n result of the grcntly enhanced cost of construction Philadelphia will take no uctivr part in the project to build nn iiS.OOO.OOO drydock in this poct.

If you have I don't need to describe it. it you Haven't, nothing anybody may write can give you the picture. So why write? Foolish, foolish! There's a reason. I have seen scores of vistas and creeks and wooded hills as beautiful as any in the Wis sahickon; but never so many in so small a space; and never so large a space so vista packed ; which is a paradox you may prove for yourself most any time. Philadelphia may well be proud of ' the Wissahickon, and proud of the fact that she Is proud of it. For it is the city's practical appreciation of the beautiful, this laying up of nature's handiwork for future genera tions, this setting of God's jewel in a ring of man's handiwork that makes Wissahickon the golden wonuer it is. A wonder it is; a wonder' and a glory compounded of simple things, trees and creeks and hills; the simplest, commonest things In the world; simple and common as man, and you know how simple and com mon he Is. I sometimes wish I knew more nbout na ture. I have envied the powers of minute observation of John Burroughs nnd Gilbert White and their wonderful knowledge of tree and flower and wild living things. And while envying I have questioned my own sincerity. I never met a man yet who did not take a more or less pardonable pride in his de fects of mind and character. He always glorifies them as a cause of something worth while. Graciously I grant myself kin to my fellows. I confess that where I gained in one direction I mightlose In nnother.
