There is n moral aspect of the case, i

disgust of men who see cynical and 1

nut the action of the New York Assem-

believe that Mr. Palmer is an angel of

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.

assemblymen who thus played into tlio

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

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

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

HOW DOES IT
STRIKE YOU?
NEVER did n world combination of
victors following a war totter so
i,itnl.'1t. tn nn Ini-lnrlniltt mill fin the ntlC
dreamed of nnd hnlf set up in Paris.
ine victors were too exnaiiHicu iur
their task.
A bandit -poet set up a movie actor
rnrnltiMnn In thn Ailrintie nml nn one
had the power to restrain him.
The recent moves lor pence with lius
sia were a confession of wenkness.
The nlen nf Eurone Iu renl.v to the
moral lecture President Wilson reads
it upon expelling the Turk from con
slnntinople is the plea of weakness.
"We enn't." unanimously declare
I.n.l..l n..l r,nnno Mu fin fefipn fill
AjUfclllim mm a in.... .. .. ....... .-
eye on the su)tan iu Constantinople. In
Anatolia it would lane an army to noiu
him down."
This is half specious.
But the true reason is equally n con
fession of wdHkness.
England nnd France arc unequal to
their job of controlling the whole Mos
lem world. .
Mnking terms with the Turk they
think will lighten It. '
q 1 J
MEANWHILE the Moslem world,
conscious of the weakness of its
new masters, is setting up its own in
dependence. ,
The Emir Feisal, romantic crention
of n British nrcheologist. Colonel Law
rence, declares himself king of Syria,
which wnh to belong to France.
And Paris is full of acrimony. .
AVhnt in the world did the British
discover this Feisal person for, make
him nn nlly nnd bring him to Paris,
with his wonderful headdress?
A pest upon these friends of the
British I , , , , , ,,
But we sons of the king of the Hcdjaz
play no favorites.
Britain wns to have Mesopotamia, key
to India and a Moslem empire. t
Feisal's brother declares himself king
nf AFnonnntn tn.n
VI ii;ovifv""a ,
Serves the llntlsli rigiu ior navn g
nM..i.Aninf.lutu ivlin torn tn ninvine Ori-
mitnl unlit irs nml nick un friendships
with nmbitious Arabs!
q q o
mHE Hcdjaz family came to the Peace
-L Conference, took a look nt the
Big Four und decided to set themselves
up ns u. world power.
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.

Emir Feisal'a Demands Mcrclg Accentu
ate the Present Weakness of the
Victors in the Great War
Your organization is n scllinc or
ganization.
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.
