So was Doctor Krusen when he preathed health adrice so fervently ou the back of those programs of the plaza band concerts last summer. So is the sign which tells us . to move back in the trolley car, There arc times, however, when the satire in Mr. Gilbert's assumption to the effect that "the law '. the embodi ment of cverthing that's excellent" evaporates Certainly this is true when daylight saving is considered. Congres sional folly pulverised a sensible nnd efficient legal instrument. There is nothing left now but the pre cipitous puveineut of good intentions. HARRISBURG'S GROWTH HJ ARRISIU'RG bus reason to be proud of its growth since the last census. It had n population of OS. ISO in 1010. The estimated population in DIM) was .73,1170. The official enumeration of its inhabitants made during the first week In January shows that it has a popula tion of 75,017, or 120 II more than was regarded as n generous estimate for last year. For the ten -year period the pop ulation ha3 increased more than 18 per rent. The Btatc capital is an attractive and prosperous city hound to grow in wealth, population and beauty as its merits be come moro widely appreciated.

WHO'S LOONIEST IN THE ALBANY MUDDLE? Amateur Dictators In the New York Assembly or the Roaring Radi cals Just Ousted? EACH of the five Socialist Assemblymen-elect who linve been denied the right to sit nt Albany his matiaged In one nay or another to offend and at f'ont all fair-minded people. Knch talked like a malevolent bigot. All five exhibited n (.n.s Interest nnd a sort of brutal partisanship that made a hardened Tammany man seem, in comparison, like n gentleman amateur. They disregarded the rules of fair ploy Jnnd good taste in political criticism. rhej chanted the glittering platitudes bj which all demagogues live. And yet they were legally elected to sit in the Legislature of New York. They were elected by constituents whose minds feed on yellow newspapers . The immediate result of the Assembly's and the foreign -language press. Hut action will be new recruits in the So they were elected. And the Asscmblj men 'cialist party and an increased Socialist who voted them out of their seats have! denied democracy and the whole theory of democratic government. The party leaders at Albany who ran the Socialists out hac "ct thcmches above the fed eral constitution nnd the constitution of their own state. Tliev represent a new nnd novel sort of autocracy, a new sort of intolerance. Chnrlcs K. Hughes i didn't overstate the case yesterday wheu 1 lie called them '"very dangerous friends ot our institutions." t , There is n moral aspect of the case, i of course, which may not be altogether i oerlookcd. It is possible to under - stand the bitterness nnd the genuine disgust of men who see cynical and 1 professed opponents of the democratic theory about to occupy places of author- I ity at the seat of democratic government. I nut the action of the New York Assem- bly cannot be justified on any such grounds. The five Socialists represented a considerable class in New York. This class is now denied the right of repre sentation in government. And it was denied representation by parliamentary trickery the Socialists oppose.

You must be lieve nil this, it seems, and jou must believe that Mr. Palmer is an angel of light, or be denied the right of rep resentation In the governmental affairs of the state of New York. It is only fnlr to remember that In thb? instance these men were rnnved by n very real sense of outrnge. Solomon, Wahlman. Claessens, DeWitt and Orr were as offensive as they knew how to be. They were not nn aid but a hindrance to the government in n time of unexampled crisis. Rut to say thnt they were intent on overthrowing the government is idle. And even if they did hope to overthrow the government, are we to suppose that the Assembly in New York feared the hypnotic influence of five isolated members? The Assembly had no such fear. It reacted to rampant antipathies, and to the fear and hatred of things that It was not wise enough to understand. The damage is not to Socialists or Socialism It is to America and Americans Mr. Cuvlllier and his associates have replaced a magnificent and dependable principle with n dis astrous and uuccrtaln precedent. For if a man may be officially debarred from an elective office because of "a stato of mind," there is no reason why lie may not in the future be debarred because of the color of his hair, his religious beliefs or the name of bis party. It is altogether likely that the Socialists nt Albany were sccretM iubilant nt the outcome.

And the befuddled assemblymen who thus played into tlio hands of nil radical propagandists gain nothing. If they knew n little more of history and of the processes of political development in their own country they would be aware that their method can not work, It is a method that has been discredited everywhere. The Senate of the United States has had some good reasons at various times for a wish to resort to it. Hut the Senate didn't. It has been our boast in America that the wisdom of early patriots pro vided, by the constitution, a means bj which every man could feel free to accomplish rationally and by peaceful methods the sort of reforms that else where have been attempted by violence. This was trtin. Is it true now In New York? Tlio whole state and all Its people have actually contributed, by negli gence nnd n tolerance of Ignorance and corruption, to create the present di lemma. For the governing minds in the Assembly have shown themselves to be little more inspiring than the five men just debarred. The people of New York need to sit up and do some thinking. vote nnd a larger delegation of Socialist members clamoring for admission to the stnte Legislature. And what will the Cuvillicrs and the McCues do then? THE UNGUARDED GIRLS "p.VHKXTS of young girls would do X WPH to read carefully the story of the arrest of n professional dancer on the charge of theft which appeared in this newspaper yesterday. An eighteen- year-old girl was arrested with him. She explained that she had met him at a ball, nnd "he was so graceful a dancer nnd made such ardent love that 1 returned his affection." And then followed her undoing, Yet parents permit their girls to go to balls and to public dancing rooms where they meet young men of whom they know nothing. It is not surprising that disaster sometimes follows dnughtcr is the most precious pos session that a father or a mother can have. She should be guarded and pro tected not only for her own sake, but for the sake of the future of the race. Hut ton mnnv nf tliem are nermitled to .

A meeting at Sjracuse. N. Y., was told b the commissioner of farms and markets that "the present day unrest does not exist because of the high cost of living." This is pretty nearly a realization of the fact thnt the reverse is the case that the high cost ot living is due to the present unrest: nnd thnt if "unccst" could be translated into "productive labor" prices would auto matically drop. The Executive Hoard of the Brotherhood of Carpenters nnd Joiners of America, meeting in Indianapolis, has received trade agreements from approxi mately fiOO local unions nnd virtually, all provide for wage increases. Which is one reason why rents are high and nouses hard to get. Corfu residents are concerned over n report that the ex-kaiser is to return with ex -King Constnntinc to his castle in the little Greek island nnd declare that if he does they will twist his nose nnd that of his companion. That were I supererogation The noses of both are already out oi joini. Because good clothes, hats nnd shoes cost a man $12,000, Viennese in tellectuals are planning to go barefoot. An additional reason is given but this one seems sufficient. But how arc they lucky enough to stop nt shoes? A member won cheers in the Mis sisippi House of Representatives by shouting that lie would rather die and go to Hndes than voto for woman suf frage. Is the gentleman quite sure there are no women there? Now York musicians threaten to strike for a minimum, wage of ?C"i n week. Let the galled jade wince. And pcrhnps soma of them will go to work on the farm and help reduce the high cost of living. So the pendulum swings. Not so long ago enemies of Hoover were de daring he wns too English. Now they assert his English Is not good enough. There is something absolutely un canny nbout n man who can win popu larity as a food administrator. Strange thnt Mrs. Slppi and Delia Ware should both be so chilly concern ing suffrage. The banner optimist is one who thinks there are fewer fools today than there were yesterday. wmm,tmmmmmasssmuusmimtmuumm The New York Assembly is still busy furnishing propaganda for the Socialist party.

It Isn't exnrtlv emulation but when .winter leaves so does the tree, Travels in Philadelphia A Stroll Down Maiden Lane YESTERDAY afternoon I left the rather malodorous neighborhood of Gray's Ferry road by n turn down Thirty-sixth street along the fence of n great storcyard of old barrels. There on the left rise, in veritable mountains, casks, butta nnd hogsheads of every fashion and hue painted oil barrels with smooth rounded sides and open bungholes, wnlting for their next trip to England or France, old black tnr bar' rels that smell heavily of the sea, nnd tall rough cylindrical tubs bound with split saplings. At the corner of the yard is n noisy factory laboring to pro duce still more barrels to coop up some, part of the wealth nnd labor of the town and send It out over the earth. On westver the little bridge thnt spans the railroad track, nt Wharton street, 1 came on a region of little houses whose fronts were nil enlivened with intimate portraits nnd personal Inscriptions in white nnd yellow chalk. True to the spirit of spring the pre vailing accent of these wall decorations is always on one of the moods of love. "Johnnie Fisher is Ida's fcllor" fur nishes the keynote of them nil, nnd more dramntic encounters are hinted nt in such open letters ns "Mary, I seen you kiss Freeman Makbrldc Joe," which was followed on the bricks below by this sharp rejoinder In a round girl ish hnnd, "I dlspics you .Toe Mary." The portraiture is mainly Egyptian, save here and there where 'an inspired artist conceives a full face, and linviug sketched in ample areas of mouth and eyes, constructs n five-pointed star where the nose might be and labels the confection, "My teacher." T TURNED (Jpwn Thirty-lhir -- walking by the edge of J rd street Stlnccr's Park, until I came to n noint where a block of red brick houses lay facing the open fields. The people were nil out on the front stoops, nnd several small babies in elaborate perambulators were enjoying the warm air while their mothers stood gossiping or staring nt the passing strnnger. At tills block's end the brick pavement turns the cor ner nnd I stepped ou alone n soft dirt patli that ran beside n country road, called Maiden lane. The city had ended after thnt last effort to assert its power and traditions in the little row of closely built houses, nnd ns I passed on I heard before me the cluck of innumer able hens and the bark of a host of barnyard dogs. t THE farmhouses down Maiden lane are all of old red brick well used to the ground. They still seem-to be the outposts'of settlement, nnd still boast the broad .doorways and quaint dormer windows Of country seats. The barns are rarely larger than the houses and the modern fnrm trnilltlnn nf rrnmnlui? the liuman walls to save bricks for the !'"

His blnzing neck feathers spread out like chrysnnthemum pelnis. He ruffled his tali nnd llnpped his dark wines, nil the wJ,i,c hearing down on the white rooster ""? nffected to take no notice, and stood I gazing insolently up into my face 1 Then, with a swoop like the Hash of a hawk, the dark bird was upon his victim. There was a wild ear-splitting squawk, and the white rooster, all dis- nity forsnken, scuttled off in a shower of. pale feathers. He ran on down n plow track without daring to glance be hind, but lumbering nftcr him, still faithful in thnt darkest hour, waddled that lone white hen. The other two, heartless opportunists ns they were, clucked up nnd pecked for worms nt the very feet of the victor. FURTHER on, by nn old tall house with on observatory ou the roof. Maiden lane takes a sharp turn to the east. Southward, beyond this turning, rises a congeries of the strnngest forms that ever vexed n city's skyline. With n little stretch of fancy one may behold down here the architecture of the planet Mnrs or, when the twilight falls, may believe himself to be gazing off Into n city of the ear 10,000 A. D. Tall col umns, row on row, with huge boxes on their heads, like the ruins of some tre mendous Ilypostyle In the wastes of a future Karnac, or off to the right, where a row of decks, red stacks, spars and bridges stretches out westward with men scrambling about on the upper works or climbing down tho spindly lad-' ders, witii no stretch of faucy at all one may conceive n new type of build ing that lias grown up out of the sea, for the thing seems n veritable ocean steamship up high and dry on the land. All these nre merely pressure stills of the Atlantic Refineiy. but I refuse to have my wonder dashed by n prosaic name. Whatever they nre they are, none the less, strange tilings to behold. "That?" sniffs n jaded joung The bnn in the days of Manepthnh, "is only our latest temple." "Oh only your latest temple," drawls his Nubian cousin. "Bother nil that! Let us go fishing in the Nile." B' EIIIND these curious forms rise the tail red reservoirs of the cas works. which have grown as familiar to our eyes ns trees nnd cnimneys or, indeed, moro familiar, for I scarcely noticed them ut all as my eyes swept back over the fields among tho scattered old brick houses. At S I wtnt down the lane toward the ity I faced the stilted bulbous ilnmes of the orthodox Greek Church. whose five gold crucifixes, each with its triple bar. struck the sunlight into my ees. Then to the southward stretched out a region of gray nsh dumps. It will hnrdlv be believed, I suppose, that there uere'twn white coats browsing nt their rease over the mounds of waste paper and tin cans. Hut tue com tact is mat the goats were there, and from a purely scientific motive I nra prepared to tes tify that they were actually engaged in worrying certain old bits of torn newspaper. Besides the goats, who seemed to belong to nobody, a whole company of children was out on the dump picking over the trnsh One of the crowd, a silver-hnired little boy, was most engaging. He had all his onltnr-inrl treasures wrapped up in a red bandana handkerchief that hung over his shoulder on n long, nun imir. as he stepped off betwien me nnd the sun light, with n Mary Piekford haze of gold about his towseled head, tho frail little figure, eyes still down searching the trnsh heaps, seemed an embodiment of outcast youui. There were many other children out on the dump, some quarreling over a discovered treasure of old Iron, some jumping up and down on a rusty bed Hnrine nnd oue even bending over to clutch up and bite into lilts or brown onion that lay scattered through the ROY HELTON. truvn.

And one of the ruinances of the war resulted. ' The Arabs, who once nearly overran Europe only to he beaten back by the French nnd fall themselves victims of the Turks, emerge masters of three great countries, Arabia, Syria and Mesopotamia. And no one among the masters of the world is strong enough' to say them nuy. It is like the later days of the Roman empire, when the Germnnic tribes to the north grew contemptuous of the little emperors who succeeded the great Caesars. q q fl THE war has ended compulsory Greek nt Oxford. The English universities closed during the con 11 let. When 4 hey reopened Greek was doomed. It was too long a distance from tho trenches in France back to the Middle Ages. , , Men could not moke it, so Greek goes from English higher education as it had nlrcndy gene from American higher education. Probably the loss will not be great. As the classics are less studied they are better translated. Men can read Euripides in Gilbert Murray's version and Aristophanes done into English verso by Rogers, Homer in tlie prose of Andrew Lang nnd his asso ciates and Pluto ns rendered by Jowctt. As for literature, what can the Greeks tearh a man who must sell 50.000 copies of Ills book? The Greeks wrote for a limited uudl encc, better educated in literature und philosophy than the collegu professors of today. They were like Doctor Einstein, the relativity theory mnn, who published n book for the "only twelve people In the world who could understand it." Whnt points could Doctor Einstein give II. G. Wells, Arnold Bennett or our own Harold Bell Wright? "You must remember," Mr. Kennedy Jones, associate of Northcliffe, writes thnt he told Ionl Morley, "you must remember that you left journalism a profession. We have made it a branch of commerce." TJie Greeks left literature a pro fession. .... The best sellers have made It a branch of commerce. q q q NOMINATING a candidate for Pres ident is now n branch of commerce. Which is what people mean when they say Wood's campaign manager's ex penditure in South Dakota of ?50,000 is "legitimate and necessary." Going into the popular primaries is the ii rt nf proving thnt you have a large circulation. kinm ..jR '"fttefi " BLUE HEN'S CHJCKEN 1 rvv A- s 'I f U J ( Ifta, j Mm,.meMmMiSNss & j i :.. l .umasl." wmmsmfflBssdar- a s.mm' i"" - '1 '-t .... .-. .,,.. ..-...f "" '.Ti-J 'l..llS..v..- pr- ieifcMrr--'---si , i i t" ir5lw J" ...

It goes out and sells you to the voters of the slate just as it might go out and sen rubber tires, or washing machines in these days of servantlcss households. A big selling cuinpalgn costs money. It must hnve nalatial headnuartcrs. indicating great prosperity. It must have mnnngers who arc good spenders, whose exhibitions of moucy inspire belief in success. It must advertise npd ndrcrtisc nml advertise. And it must hnve as luiblicit.v man nn artist nt insinuating advertising into tno news columns of the press. It must have fluents who travel back and forth seeking how they spend. j.ne one tiling that must be uiwa.vs in sight is money ; in sight, not in reach. For it to be In sight is not corrupting ; for it to be in reach is. I All this costs untold riches, perfectly legitimately. q q a WHAT is purchased with tills dis play? Why, moral effect ! The moral effect of large circulation. The, voters of South Dakota who were "sold" on Wood do not nominate him. The voters of Michigan who urc now seeing the spenders of .$."i000 for dele gates do not nominate him. The delegates at the Chicago con vention will make the nomination. And tho delegates at that convention will presumably do what n dozen or a score of gentlemen, highly expert upon moral effects, tell them to do, It is for the benefit of this dozen or score thnt the moral effects of South Dakota und Michigan and elsewhere nre being produced by tremendous selling campaigns. Upon this dozen or score no conceiv able moral effect could be accomplished upart from a highly organized and amply financed selling cnmpnlgu. Therefore vast expenditures arc "le gitimate and necessary." The price of hoky-poky has gone up 1!j0 per cent. The ice crenm cone, too, Is now grinding the faces ot the poor kids. Last month was a particularly busy one for the Philadelphia mint a nat ural accompaniment for the Mnrch lamb. The fear Is generally expressed that any peace iestiltingfrom u joint reso lution will have stiff joints. Just n little dampness tn clear the air and freshen things for Easter. numsDAY APRIL 8 EVEN1NQ nnciTAb gjPiFOttJT r AMERICAN VIOI.INI DELLEVUE stratford DAM.TtOOM Tickets at Heppe's.
