ADVERTISING A LA MODE CERTAINLY there was coracthlns oddly nuggr-stivr In the reg'ilafity With which Mr. Mniebtirner ooIIoUimI advertising for his paper from linns that did business with the city through the, medium of the City Council. A look through Mr. Mineburncr's publication shows that linns which nd Vcrtlsed nowhere else bought n gnyat deal of space thcrciu. The paper cir culated for the most part among fac tionolists In Philadelphia politics. The ubscribcrs have little personal need for asphalt or heavy machinery, for coal and horse feed in large quantities or for lumber in wholesale lots. Yet these arc the commodities lavishly ad vertised in the periodical edited by Mr. Limcburncr. If Mr. Schmidt doesn't return to Philadelphia to describe the theory of advertising which the- councilman -editor discussed with him. some of the other patrons of Mr. I.iiiicburiier's pub lication might be led to contribute use ful 'data at the next hearing ot Coun cil's inquiry committee. MINDING ITS OWN BUSINESS ITUIE future of the American Legion J- i Indeed in safe hands if the sound common sense shown in Commander D'OlIer's "hands off" policy regarding labor disputes is to be used in direct log nIMhc affairs of the organization. The American Legion stauds today as probably the most potential organ- zetLbody in the country in all matters In which it may legitimately take a part, not only because of uumerical strength, but also because of the char acter of its members ; they have been tried and have not been found wautiug. The same characteristics which made them of inestimable service to their country in the stress of war will make them no less valuable in time of peace as citizens who know and are willing to perform their civic duties. Thus tlic roay be of as much value in safeguard ing civic righteousness as they were in defending civilization. If the policies as thus fur laid down and followed arc an omen of those to come, the legion is to be congratulated upon the selection of Commander D'Olicr and his associates as the men who shall guide the destinies of the organization. , A REFUGE FOR PRINCES THE youthful Prince of Wales lias announced himself as "onu of the people." Ills brother. Prince Albert, has gravely suggested to the members of the Itnvnl Acn.lemv f !:..,.., n,., they take a fling at sign painting and I f"rfpfl'lnr; ! "' has not been beautify the country. Now. the Roval I i1'!1'1 '? tp,11 ' 'P l,rnUl nboi,t tl" ol, Academy is old and settled in its ways ! ,,n,Ip".

They are not yet reconciled even to the impressionism of Manet and Whistler. Young Albert must have sounded to them like a cubist of princes, a vorticist of government. But they applauded him. He, too, it beenis, has become one of the people. Philosophers who found in the war and the peace a new incentive to pro found thought have been saying re cently that the people thcinse'lves, not kings nnd stntesmen, are responsible for tho great disasters that follow de fective methods of government. They contend that the crowds, loving sent! mentalities aud the theatrical gesture, given to thoughtless pride aud a quick temper, make rulers what they have been' In the past. The Rrltisli have done as much as they could well do to spoil their princes with adulation. They have two princes now who have been wi.se enough to seek safety aud refuge in the crowds. The present question Is whether loyalty will improve in Its new environment. RULE OF THE WAVES WHEN fighting ships of the Penn sylvania type were planned in the .years Immediately before the war It wnu supposed that warships of about .'i.'.OOO ionH, with batteries of fourteen or fif teen inch rifles, would represent the ultimate development of heavy naval craft. Experts believed that sub marines or new devices of aerial wnr. faro would rcudcr larger ships useless and unnecessary. Yet ( In IfMU plans were urawu lor vessels oi -i.l.uuu tons, which aru now under construction for tho navy. Each of these shlpa is to Myo cleht sixtecu-inch rifles in her jnalu battery rifles larger than any dreamed of ten years ago. And now Jlx ttcliwab ha described plan ias a, I newer battleship of (50,000 ton, to bo armed with twelve Blxtecn-lnch rifles and an infinite number ot smaller guns. Naturally, It will sccra that a ship of 00,000 tons would bo an achievement beyond which naval builders could -not go. The limited depth of navigable channels would seem to prohibit any further lucrense in the tizc and weight of fighting ships. Hut the experience gained by naval designers each time they achieve a new marvel leads them to attempt greater things. The sire of battleships, the range of their guus and the cost of their construction will con tinue to increase. In the present stale of world affairs great fleets of fighting craft will continue to be needed. The United Htatcs, not beiug gicn to ag gressive warfare, has come to think In terms of defense. Vessels of great reach and staying power would have a par ticular value in the navy. The $."0,000,000 which one of Mr. Schwab's supcrdrraduoughts would cost Is u great deal of money to spend for it single navnl unit. Such a ship would have to be viewed not as a complete or isolated thing, wonderful and complete In itclf. ( It would represent, rather, a definite trend in the science of war fare and a ttandnrd to which other fighting units would have to be planned. Air warfare, guns, ammunition, gas machines as well as fleets of ships may yet have to be built to the grand scale here suggested. One qf these days the practical folk who used to think lightly of Mr. Wllson'H idealism may realize that n League of Nation's and the scheme for world peace Lac more than a sentimental value. HAVE WE THE NERVE TO FINISH THE JOB? The Voters Will Indicate at To morrow's Primaries Whether They Arc Quitters or Flghtera IN DlSCCSSIXtr the fitness of meu for better things, a high authority once remarked that no man having put his hand to the plow and looking back Is worthy of better thing". Whether the voters of this rity who put their hnud to the plow in t lie may oralty primaries last jear are to follow the furrow through to the end will be decided at the primary elections to morrow. Thnje then won a victor over the Contractor Organization which had been exploiting them for its profit. 1 Slit the margin was narrow. If all the voters who supported ,1. Hampton Moore in the primaries last year, supported by the other otcrs who , wish to be with the winner, go to the' polls tomorrow and vote against the candidates of the Contractor Orgauiza- tion they will win a bigger victory. It is ouce more up to the neonlc of Philadelphia to decide what kind of gorriimrnt the wish to hae. 'j;iie indorsement ot .Mayor .Moore through the nomination of candidates in sympathy with him and through the work hard and effectively because of election of party officers who will work their pride in the service were subjected in harmony with him will strengthen to the whip of what Mr. Rurleson called his hands and enable him to conduct a1 an eflieieucy system. Everybody was successful light against tiie abhorrent j made to feel driven. The posttaattier forces" which have begun to lift their I general seemed unable to understand heads from the slime. that the unfailing smoot. ness of the Rut if the Contractor Organization , mail service nud its ability to do seem wins. the task of the Mayor will be ' 'K'.v impossible things was due, in made so difficult that only by super- I human e.ertious can lie nerfonn it. The eyes of alb lovers of good gov ernment will be upon the Fifth Sena torial district and the Third Congres sional district. Mr. Moore represented the Third dis trict in Washington for many years, A andidate is to be nominated for his I unexpired term and for the full term ' ,-J beginning in Mnrch of next year. Charles Dclany. a business man of i wide experience, has been put forward I for the nomination bv tli business u. j ten-sts of the district. lie is admirubly equipped for the office. He is familiar with the large and varied industries for which he would be called upon to legis late. The voters in the district who earn their livelihood In those industries are as deeply interested in the etection of the right kind of a representative us , are their employers. They know that they need in Washington a man in hearty sympathy with the industries of Hie city, nnd they ought to know that they also need to give their strpport to a man in sympathy with the new order I of things which began with the defeat ' of the Contractor Organization last ' year. i The nomination of Mr. Dclany will I give to the district a "worthy successor to Mr. Moore, aud It will indicate to the Mayor thot lie still hos the loval I support of the voters whom he served in I Congress for fourteen years. . The city needs in the state Senate a ' man like John R. McLean, who is seek- ! ing the nomination in the Fifth district I Us canvass has revealed his temper. He has shown both courage and re skeletons tlinn have been brought to the punuo attention in a long time. If the voters of the Fifth district like the sort of thing which .Mr. McLean has been condemning they will not nominate him, but will decide to srnd to Harris burg a senator who is content with things as they have been. Hut the en thusiastic applause which lias followed Mr. McLean's attack upon tho auto cratic mandarins of the district suggests thnt the voters are about ready for a change. t ' The primaries tomorrow are party elections as well us nominating devices. In each division of each ward two members of the ward executive com mittee ore to be clinsen. The new executive committees will elect the rep resentative of the ward In the Repub lican city committee, which is the ofll eial Republican organization. That committee as at present con stituted is not representative of the Re publican voters. It has deliberately deprived certain wards of repres- ntation because the man elected by the voters in the words has been opposed to the majority in coutrol. Such an undemo cratic course ought to have stirred the blood of all fair-minded men long ago and provoked them to nn uprising against tho machine. If the unrisini? which brought about the nomination of Mr. .Moore lost year Huh. not lost its Impetus, something is likely to happen tomorrow. It was known then that the fiBht would have to be continued in the pri marics this spring. Mr. Moore said it frequently, not only beforo the pri marics but afterward: and he nnd his frieuds have been busy during the in tervenlng months organizing their sup porters and preparing for the contest. Thp election of ward executive ,., mlttees in sympathy with the Mayor will put (lie purfy machinery in tho JuibOh ci men commincuio a continue I niicc of the fight for good government and to the destruction ot the Rystcm ot contractor rule which has,dlsgrnccd this city for a generation. s The voters who arc pleased with what has been begun will go to the polls to morrow and vote against every candi date for ward committeeman who Is connected with the Contractor Organi sation and will vote for tho men who have made it known that they arc in favor of democratizing the city com mittee and putting its control In the hands of the Republican electorate In stead of keeping It In the hands of an oligarchy of discredited leaders who have trampled on cvcryprluclplo of decent party organization The Philadelphia political machine h as been a nilllstouc about the iicck ot national Republicanism jujt as the Tammany machine iny New York has handicapped the Democratic party in the rest of the country. On the eve of it presidential election we are confronted with the opportunity to clean house ami to proclaim to the nation that the Republican party has both tho disposition and the power to purge Itself of those pernicious Influ ences which can operate only when Us members arc ludllTcrcnt to the Ideals to ihleh they profess allegiance. - i i iii j.... ii.. STOPPING THE MAILS CAN the rostal system of the couutry siirvnu the present federal admin istration? There ore times when It ap pears that tho process of disintegration picvlously discussed In these columns nud now becoming apparent to every one will be completed before a change at Washington can break Mr. Burle son's destructive grip. A policy of restriction that originated in the aberrations of middle western congressmen has been carried to astound ing lengths by a postniaHtcr general who has managed to make of the postofiicc organization something ery much like a giant' sweatshop. Malls arc slow. A great deal of second-class matter Is being delayed or lost. The fault Is not with the meu or with the minor executives. The extraordinary morale that onco characterized the mail service Is broken. Three years ago employes in all divisions of the department began to feel the pressure of high prices. And it is to -the eternal discredit of Mr. llurleson that when even the most nig gardly of private employers were ol uiiturily increasing wages a movement Intended to prime wages was started In the ollicc of the potmaster general. With thn adveul of the WIKon ad - ministration the mall service was given into the hands of a man who. in his personal attitude toward subordinates and the wnrklug force, has consistent! repealed the mind of au industrial re- actiouary. New and rigorous demands i were made upon employes of all classes, , in wat was once 'lie most etlicicnt ami uepcniiauie win-King organization oi us sort in the world. Men who lived to other cors, to the sort of voluntary efTort which is not purchasable with money or obtainable by a hard me chanical rule. A large part of the enthusiasm nnd much of the pride has been eliminated from the postal organization in the last seen cars. The work of devastation began in the railway mail division, where a policy of ignorant oppression lingered and demoralized employes whoso ski" an'1 experience did most to mako "l0 lnnu service wuai it useu to lie. ji representatives of the men sought to present their new grievances at Wash- ington tney were demoted or tired, i Tn,.r.l ti.., u-nrkeni ! 1.1s servi,.,. f, ! Rurleson still maintains the attitude of a proud tyrant. There is record of one mall-carrier who. after many years in the serviie. was dropped from the. rolls because he happened to uffer tho accl- ,ll'nt ot a temporary illness. Mr. Rurleson arrived in Washington with the mind of a ranch owner whose land had been tilled by convict labor. He seems to have changed none of his views, lie is a powerful official of a government which recently reported that a man with a family cannot live and be decent on less than .?i;.'S00 a year, The maximum salary which he has been willing to allow on experienced nud efficient man in the mail delivery service is a little over $1000 a year, and many of the postal employes are expected to work for a great deal less than that. rrhc mail mcn rannot strjke, Tucy agitated for a wage commission, and a wacc commission was appointed a vear ago. It has not yet reported. While that commission was deliberating nnd while Mr, Rurleson proudly counted bis profits nnd boasted to Congress and the rountry, employes in the postoffices of the country have had to find "extra jobs" outside the service and work twelve or sixteen or eighteen hours a dny to support their families. It is not strange that many of them have lost hope and courage and sought jobs that will pay tbem a living wage. They have been actually starved out of the service of a government which pro fesses nn ability to brliig the world of private employers to a u.ore enlightened view of life and labor. Tho twelve hour day is admittedly inhuman. It is au Institution that moved even the foreign workmen in the Pittsburgh steel district to a desperate strike. Tho twelve-hour day is common to postoffice workers. It is common even in the I'nlted States Mint, where low-paid men nnd women hove to work long "overtime" or find other jobs. Con gress is largely responsible for all this. Rut the greatest blame for what is happening in the postal system lies with the present postmaster general, who has actually fought all efforts no better the conditions of the postal em ployes. Even the most charitable critics will always refuse to forgive the President for his postmaster gen eral. The Washington homo of the late Admiral Dewey, presented to him by the American people through popular subscription, is now beiug turned into a store affording a reminder of how quickly popular favor may be diverted. And that goes two ways. Roth gentlemen should remember that there are ever so many people who are ready to believe everything Rrvon says about Edwards and everything Edwards says about Rryan. The New York man whose wife taught a parrot to Hwear at him might have retaliated by buying a monkey. Limcburncr has fouud the lime U&tu.

Ilia nnlltlcnl nettvttles began a half century ago. The first office he ever Iicld was, I tutnk, burgess or uausuaic. That was about 1880 or 188'J. Country politicians arc, as a rule, shrewder than the city bred. In the city the vote Is delivered en masse. In the country it's an individual matter. Heebner is nn individualist. One of the best stories of the old leg islative days concerns William D. Heeb ner. They called him "Rill" then. There nro no Williams, Thomases or .locobs in any Legislature I ever kucw. It's "Rill." "Tom" or "Jake" without frills, fringe or flounces. They're stat ute bulldcrs-lu tho raw. It rather knocks tho romance out of the prefix "Honorable." IT WAS during the session of 18S3 nud "Rill" Heebner was one of the new members from Montgomery county. He was shrewd, but hesitant; eager to learn the legislative ropes, but backward. It didn't take him lone to learn. though. At the end of six weeks he was shouting "Mr. Speaker" as loud as lue nelglibor at his cabow. Early in the session he introduced a bill npnropriotiuir. I think the nmount was. $.'000 to the Valley Forgo Me morial Commission. It was usual to have Washington's farewell address read on the 'J-d of rebrtiory in the House. It was olpo customary to select some new member, easily "rattled," to stand up before the House and read the ad drcs. As the victim proceeded he was guyed and jeered most unmercifully. Every Legislature invariably carries on like ti pack of Ill-bred schoolboys, or zanies, some time during a session. Whether because Hcebner had pre sented a Valley Forge bill, or because they thought he was easily rattled, being new. he was elected the victim to read the farewell address on the 'J'Jd of February, lSSo. ON THE appointed day the Mont gomery man inarched down to the front, and the House settled itself back in its seats for some horse ploy. Heebner nnnounced that he would like unaiilmoiiH consent to introduce a resolution. There was a chorus of lilarious "a. es. The resolution pro ., , , .( , ; llm,ronrliiliiiK SoOllO . t tl0 Valley Forge commission be rend for the first time immediately: mat It he made a special order for second read ing I lie followiug day, and for third reading the day after. The resolution went through with a yell. The members figured that they would even up with "Mill" Heebner when he started to read tho farewell address. "And now Mr. Speaker." continued Heebner, "1 send to the desk the fol lowing printed matter to be read by the clerk as a part of my remarks on this resolution." The printed matter was "Washing ton's Farewell Address," And the clerk was compelled tiudcr the rules to read it. FRANK R. McCLAIN, later lieu tenant governor and present fair price commissioner, was a member in rj.uu . lllorriv mentioned to buttress . tho old saying that "large events fre- the House of ISIli. iqupiitly hinge on small Happenings." Henry K. Royer was speaker and A. Fottcrolf was resident clerk of the '"" mm ." This was the memorable session Hint was held in (Jraec Methodist Chinch after the old Capitol had burned. (In tho last night of the session Speaker Royer, who got up out of a sick bed to preside, was in the chair till a a. in. . The House calendar was crowded with Senate bills on final passnge. and Royer announced that, to facilitate ac tion, no Senate bills would be taken up out of their regular order. Everything moved with the celerity of clockwork until about L! o'clock in tile morning, when Royer was com pelled to give in. He called Frank McCIaln to the chair. BEFORE leaving, the Speaker turned to Resident Clerk Fetterolf, and in a tone audible to the correspondents sold : "Don't let them change the order on the Senate bills." Fifteen minutes Inter a member, whether by design or accident, ap proached the clerk's desk and engaged Fetterolf in conversation. At the snme instant some other mem ber moved to take up a certain bill near the foot of the calendar, and it -was agreed to. This set a precedent, nnd when Speaker Royer returned nt -1 o'clock the calendar of Senate bills had been so mauled, clawed over and generally mussed up that it was impossible to straighten it out. Important Senate hills never got through. This ungcred certain of the senators, so that in tho Quay fight of tho following year there was a deal of lukewormness, and a vast amount of trouble pacifying men who firmly be lieved they had been the victims of a put-up job by the machine. It wns really an oversight and not a deliberate design. THOMAS W. CUNNINGHAM, clerk of courts, and president of the Re publican Alliance of this city, is, or shall I say was (?). one of the most expert squash ball players in the Enst, Now squash bali is first cousin to tennis. "Supple ns a cat," describes the physical qualifications necessary for a squash ball champion. ".Tiidire" Cunningham's massive frame and deliberate movement scarcely sug gests the possession of lightness, agility, swiftness of foot and vision, and the other requisites of n champion. It is something like two years since Mr. Cuunlngham played his last big match. He is older now. and he is silent nn the subject of tho passing of his athletic days. It was thu outcome of a chance re mark, that match, but with all the ardor of a younger man Cunnlnghnm went Into training as though the cham pionship of Pennsylvania were at stake. He trained for three weeks and put himself In prime condition. Then with Harry Lyons as a partner they went up against- Ralph Cook and Horaco Du mnnt. And they won haudily. The match, which was a privato af fair, was played in the court nt 1200 Walnut street. Hundreds of dollars in privuto bets changed hands.

By KELLAMY- WHEN the war began the country looked with dismay at Secretary Daniels as the head of the navy. When the war was over people said, "The navy succeeded In sr.itc of Dan iels." But the secretary has been able to shojv the department and especially the President, impatient with Rritish delay and caution, pursuing an aggressive policy, always pressing for action. And in the Sims controversy Daniels has put up n hard fight. He is a daugcrous controversialist. q q q DANIELS is one of the men that you can't do justice to. He never has hud justice in Wash ington. He may-uot get it now, after he has finished smashing his old enemies in the navy. Ills parents saw to it that he should never have Justice by naming him tho slightly ridiculous name of Joseplius and by endowing him with seutlmcu tallty aud Idealism. Iu addition, he wears a queer, Hat brimmed lint which no one else would wear. Before he came to Washington the New York Suu had given him u place in its gallery of ridiculous figures along with Pod Dismukc nud Coloucl Abu Slupsky. Partly It was the name, pnrtly it vvas the figure, partly It was the incautious enthusiasms; but Daniels wns thought of as u good deal of au old woman and author of tt ludicrous poem, "Under the tiamdeboo Tree." j q j IT WAS inevitable that Joseplius should be a Rryunite when to be a Rr.vanite was to be suspect. It was' incvituble that he should be a prohibitionist in the days before the Autl-Saloou League had made prohi bitionists auy thing but ridiculous. It vvas inevitable that he should be rather noisy about single standards of morality. You must credit Dnnielii with courage. He is nothing by halves. He doesn't apologize for his convic tions, no matter how ridiculous they beem to be. lie HUcs martyrdom, or he doesn't mind it. He has been covered with ridicule. He lias been the victim of the press. Rut ho hns gone right on being the only Brynnitc secretary of the navy there ever was. Today he has the navy with him aud against Sims. q q q MOST secretaries of the navy merely do what the heads of tho great permanent bureaus of the navy tell them to do. They enter the navy without any special convictions on the subject of the navy or knowledge of the navy. They never get to know any more than the navy bureaucracy wants them to know. Dnulels had no special knowledge of tho navy. Amuslug stories are told of the inno cent questions ho usked about ships when first appointed. But If he did not know anything about ships, be knew a lot about meu. Ho bad positive convictions about thu navy as a body of men. He was a Rryaulte. and he believed in greater democracy In the uav,- than he found there. To have his own way with the navy he removed the old bureau chiefs uud put new men of his own choice in their places. He opened the way wider than it had bceu for men to rise from the rankB in the navy. . He forbade liquor to the officers of the navy just as It was forbidden to the men. He concerned himself with the morals of the wen In a paternal way. q q q ALL this btartcd a tremendous row. A Democratic admiulstratiou is suspect anyway. We haven't had nia-ny of them in half a century. A Brynnitc was more than Mispcet. And a Coloucl Abe Slupsky sort of comic political character like Daniels filled tho country with the worst mis givlngs. Everything favored a snap Judgment highly adverse. Tho nuvy set, tho old bureau chief crown, iuikiv uic uri. oi punjicny. jkj uau utvceo to ,ie prcta, tho t V- .Jr i tt .' .j BE NO "COME-BACK" Sccrelcry Daniels Seems to Have Justified Himself Despite Humor Attaching to His Name and Habits most Influential of which had such prejudices against a Rryaulte secretary of the. navy that it listened readily to stories of the navy's demoralization. q q q AND the navy probably was demoral ized at first by the Daniels inno vations, or rather by the row which went on between the secretary aud the officers. The navy is demoralised uow by the row between Sims and Daniels. A service such as it is always de moralized by a disputo ut the top. Rut by the time wc entered the war a fine spirit prevailed iu the navy. In Washington the Nuvy Dcpnrtment was the most efficient branch of the government. On tho sens our destroyers kept the English destroyers on their toes. "In spite of Daniels," people said, although they began to soy hcivas right about his famous order barring liquor from the navy, that he only anticipated prohibition, anyway, aud that improv ing the lot of the common man in the navy was a good thlug, too. q q q WHEN the Sims storm broke people relapsed into their former attitude toward the comic Brynnitc secretary. At last wc were going to have the truth as to how Joseplius was kicked into a successful conduct of the navy during the war. Rut if Joseplius fought the war half so well as he fought Sims he didn't re quire any kicking in. Joseplius has such a talent for con troversy that ho is always involved iu one. And it is hard to do justice to a niau always in controversy. What Do You Know? QUIZ 1. When was. Czar Nicholas II of Itus- sla dethroned? 2. What was tho object of the Ku Klu. Klun? 3.

Again what glories wake the dawn, And how old warrior trouble wan Is barred and driven out I What lyric song the robins bring. How musical the drouc bee's wing, Aud how the children shout 1 Four wails are all too narrow now; I follow where the manly plow Upturns the fragrant mead, Where rolling harrows powder fine Tiie seed beds, or where soft-eyed kinc Ou new-sprung grosses feed. Rut sweeter than all nature rife Willi song and bloom that zest of life Which fills the spirit up V, llli thankfulness for homely food, Aud peace that whispers "God is good," And overruns my cup. Oh, what of the dream that faded fast. Or thcilcklc "gleam" that glanced and passed, Or the wine that turned to rue.' 1 ' d n wand, as .May can vow, m maKic' healing, aud somehow 1 he heavens nnd earth ure now. In mail of hope-nnd-couragc clad, I am a bold Sir Galahad Ou quests that cannot fall, I' or every blossom on a tree Aud every opening flower I sel ls holding up the Grail. IENVOI u heart of love! whose lender might Through checkered years of cloud uud light Has been both balm and goad, Re thou my May when winters chill, My Sarras set upon u hill, The ending of my road.
