HIGH COST OF UNIFORMS
WHILE tii st of us are wearing
our old clothes it is said that the
members of the police force are ordered
to buy new uniforms when their old
uniforms are still serviceable,.
One policeman is repotted to have
aid that he had three uniforms which
he had never worn except at infectious
and that they had been condemned for
some trilling defect.
If any considerable number of police
men arc suffering in tin wnv through
the fiuiekiness of the inpectiug officers
Director Cortelyou could well make nn
investigation to discover what the
trouble is.
Of course the uniforms should be in
good condition when worn on the street,
but at a time when the men are fiudins
it difficult to support then faiillics on
their pay it would f.eent as if the De
partment of Public Safety might find a
xvny to enable the men to wear their
uniforms a little longer.
THE PLAGUE SCARE ENDS
ASSUKANCE by the Public Health
Service officials in Washington that
there is no danger of n bubonic plague
epidemic in the United Stntes was to
have been expected. The dread disease
is primarily n consequence of filthy con
ditions, nnd witli all our deilcieucies
this country is undoubtedly more re
spectful than any other of sanitary
laws.
Hut while tills safeguard of good
habits is comforting, it is not to bo
construed as paliintiou for any relaxing
of scrupulously careful hygh-nie inspec
tions at our seaports. Fortunately
Galveston and Peimcola eem fully to
appreciate the situation and in these
towns rut hunts are being vigorously
prosecuted. As the rodents, it is said,
do not travel in boxcars, what little in
fection prevails probabl) ian be easily
localized
Bubonic plague cases, while rare, ore
by no mentis unknown in some of our
southern poits and have in the past
been speedily localized, as they are now.
Unlike the intluenza, the epidemic is
one which is not favored bv conditions
here. Not i-w-n the most timid need
entertain a'arm on this subject.

THE REAL CONSERVATIVES
THE attempt of the committee of
forty-eight, now organizing a third
party, to attrau the farmers is not
likely to succeed. The statement given
out by six of the leading organizations
of farmers vesterdav repudiates the
Whole plait. The farmers ure not to be
drawn into any eln-s movmient They
are, ns the statement declaie , "sane,
sensible, plain nnd c lear-thinking
American citizens who believe In rep
resentative democracy as it exists in
the United States
nnd not in the i
eovletlsm of Itussia, the socialism of
Germany or the uu toe racy of Mexico."
The farmers are capitalists und em
ployers with a stake in the preserva
tion of orderly Institutions uml with nu
Intense interest in the piotectiou of the
yights of property. They are the real
conservatives. While they know thut
the country is prosperous when they
prosper, they also know that they enn
not prosper unless the people who arc
not farmers nre getting money enough
to buy the ptoducts ot the farms at fair
prices.

WHY THIRD TERMS ARE NOT
FOR AMERICAN PRESIDENTS
Those Who Would Like to Renoml
nate Mr. Wilson Should Relearn
the Lessons of History
NO ONR without n hectic imagina
tion will helleve thnt Mr. Wilson
ever thought aerioilM.v of n third term.
The acmi-olfirlnl denial tailed yester
day by Mr. Hhoue. nn navlstnnt secre
tary of the trenanrv nnd a good Demo
crat, may hnve been Inspired. It vtns
not nece"nry.
Any Indication on the President's
part of a desire to run ncnln would bo
injurious to his plnns nnd hurtful, In a
hundred ways, to his reputntiou. It
nuld prove what his fiercest enemies
I like to sny of him thnt he lias lot
toncli with the people nnd Is altogether
. uunwaro of what i In their minds.
The country never hns been disposed
to encourage the sort of reasoning that
uP0,,f the Champ Clarks and the
, Hitclu-ocks. the IMwardses and the Mc-
dnos. in other words. It is n tangle of
conflicting motives, a riot of opposed
beliefs. Hiram Johnson was the Hrrnn
of the Chicago convention. Itrtnn will
he the Hiram Johnson of San l'ran
cisco There Is harmony In neither camp.
j The President Is virtually out of poll
I tics. And nnles lie has forgotten much
- that he had to learn by grueling ex
perience lie can have few regrets. Those
who must shoulder his burdens ought to
look forward to their tasks rather than
backward at the mistakes of n man who
would have been more than human had
he not mude a good many of them.
The disposition to vilify Mr. Wilson
is too general. It is n futile nnd grace
less birJuess. Let us hnve done with
it. The President remains one of the
nrrcsting figures of the time. Sinco In
terest in him will increase with his exit
from office nnd grow with each mouth
nnd j ear t lint passes, it would be far
better for the country if virulent piffle
were left out of party propaganda to
make way for the rational criticism
that can shed some light on difficult
roads yet to be traveled by the nation ns
a whole.
Mr. Wilson is not in the truest sense
a Demoetnt. It ought to be said of
him, rather, thnt be brought the mind
of an aristocrat to the passionate serv
ice of a democracy. The President had
faith in mass judgment only nfter he
had inspired it. lie seldom followed
nfter popular opinion. He preferred to
have popular c pinion follow nfter him.
His habit was to formulate a theory and
give it engaging expression and by
cheerfully assuming tl.at the people lind
always believed in it insure its geu
eral acceptance.
If to be a representative Democrat
one must think nnd uct only with the
crowd, Mr. Wilson certainly is some
thing else.
"This I have done because I know it
is the tiling you would hnve had me
do" and "1 know thnt I am acting in
accordance with the will of my coun
trymen" are phrases of the sort with
which the President, at home and in I
Paris, advanced doctrine and plans
which represented wide departures from I
all the familiar thoughts and habits of
the American people. Yet in the sin- I
icrity of his motives, in his abhorrence
of war. In his detestation of all the
forces anil agencies that fn-strate nor-
mnl human aims nnd diug helpless
neonles Into deadly conflict, he was con- I
sistent and unafraid. Mr. Wilson will
be remembered ns a man who burned
himself out at n great and lonely task.
He has a mind that wings high and
sees far. It has been his great strength
and his great weakness. When he has
been tripped or defeated it hns not been
for lack of courage or fortitude, but
because of an incurable pride of opinion.
"I know," he said in the now famous
Iloston speech, "how to get peace that
will lust. They" he was speaking of
the Lodge group in the Senate "do
tiot !"
Didn't they? Who knows? Europe
was lluid mid tilled with unseen dangers
then us it is now. I was a vast com
plex of forces thut no one man could
' '"'I
to measure or control, b.ngle-
handed, Mr. Wilson was willing to at
ta U that terrific muddle.
In n democracy every one Is supposed
to add something to the force of com
mon opinion nnd to be in some mean-.e
responsible for the acts and policies of a
government.
Mr. Wilson would not even admit
that the responsibilities of plain citl-7i-iishi)
rested m Congress or on sena
tors. The more important decisions of
the nr period in Washington were
mude without the knowledge or ndvke
of the mbinet. Senator Ititchock, rep
resentative of the administration on the
Senate tloor, was left in ignorance of
what was being done or contemplntfd
tn the name of the American Govern
ment at the I'euee Conference,
It is fashionable to condemn the
President for all this and to atttibme
his seeming iiustcilty nnd indepeudi n h
of thiud to sheer vanity or stubborn
ness, lint what actually seems to have
i"m''l him was n deep sense of his own
lesponslbiltties in a unique position, a
desite to help his ow n people b ln-lp-
l nn; Moniiiiiiiv nun u icciiiik mm nn
could work best untrnmmeled In the
, ordinal y forms nnd restraints of the
Washington routine. He wanted to put
tin end to wars. If he failed, tin- re
grets will not be his. Future gi aera
tions will hnve to do the reletting.
To sneer nt the hopes generated In
the world just before the meeting of the
Peace Conferenie and to shout down the
man who for n time was spokesman for
humanitiuians evciyvvhere is to imply
that great aspirations nre futile and
somehow contemptible and that imaginn-
tion has no part in the business 0f
tntesmntiship. Rut the wisdom of Mr
Wilson's method is something that well
may be doubted.
It will not do to snv or believe thnt
one man nlone is able to serve the
needs of a free government. The coun
try has to be somehow- greater even
than the greatest President Its re
sources must be greater than the re
sources of any one man's mind or spirit.
A republic liko ours cannot afford the
luxury of on Indispensable man, since it
has to go on through generation after
generation that will wipe from the earth
nil people now alive.
There, is great instinctive wisdom be.
hind the-two -term rulo for Presidents. '
BVBipS'tf lPUBIM
Democracies, like individuals, learn by
being self-dependent. As the need be
comes apparent for greater popular en
lightenment, greater understanding and
better knowledge, among all people it
will be met. Progress nnd growth will
really In- inspired from the bottom and
not from the top.
The opposite rule hns been accepted
In the old world since the beginnings of
civilization nnd It hns always had calam
itous results. In Europe the people
were content to leave their affairs In a
few bunds. They were taught to be
lieve that a few men, presumably wise,
were best fitted to lend and that their
duty was to follow. They drifted. And
we know where they drifted Inevit
ably. A government thnt depends
chiefly upon one great or inspired mind
mny bo snfe for n while. What m:t
happen when some one else Inherits the
power vested In any benign autocrat no
one can know.
flovernmeut inspired only by popular
will may often lack great inspirations.
It mny not always bo brilliant. Hut it
will be sure and it will be safe. It U
that fact which validates the whole
theory of government in modern repub
lics and makes It superior to anything
else revealed by human experience. The
worst thnt can be said of Mr. Wilson
Is thnt he set up his own gifted mind
nbove the established checks nnd forces
thut have been crcntctl out of our na
tional experience. Ills alms were never
selfish or Ignoble. He did not spnre
himself. He gnvo all that he had In
what he intended to be n great and hu
ninne service. And jet he has not beeu
the Ideal President for a country like
ours.
Ills was a one-man government. The
politicians who shout this charge most
frequently do not know quite how true
it is. Put that does not greatly mutter.
AMERICAN DECORATIONS
EVEPY man who wore the uniform
of the United States during the war
Is to receive a medal. The distribution
began jesteidny. The medal contains
a list of the allied countries and the
Inscilptlon, "The Orcat War for Civil
ization," on one side and n figure of
Victory armed with n sword on the
other. It is to be attached to a vari
colored ribbon. Those who served in
the United States only will receive the
medal and ilbbnn nlone. Those who
served abroad will have the ribbon dec
orated with a clasp, and those who
fought in major operations will have a
separate cl-tsp for each operation in
scribed with the name of the battle.
Similar med-ils are to be given to the
soldiers and sailors of the other war
ring nations by their respective govern
ments. Put in many of the other
nntions there nre different ways of
showing honor to distinguished merit.
The United St ttes hns not been in
the habit of decorating the men who
have served it. Congiessionnl medals
have been awarded in the past, it is
true, but they hive gone to very few.
Some private oriinizntions have in
recent years established the custom of
awarding special n eduls to men who
have distinguished themselves In science,
art or literature. And the colleges
hnve long been in the linbit of express-In-:
their appreciation of the achieve
ments of grent men by conferring hon
orary scho'nstic degrees upon them.
Harvard hns usually innde the governor
of Massachusetts a doctor of laws, nnd
other colleges In other states have fre
quently honoted the governor of their
states in the same way.
Mr. Hoover has received several de
grees this jear in recognition of his
grent service to civilization. Itut before
the war two or three colleges familiar
with Ids technical achievements had
made him a doctor of laws. This was
at n time when his fame was confined
to n limited circle The degrees lie is
getting this year arc conferred because
of the desire of the colleges to indicate
their appreciation of a work for which
we have no other lining reward.
SUPPLIANTS TO VENIZELOS
rpHE spectacle of three premiers rep---
relenting major nations In Europe
plnying the role of suppliant to Eleu
therios Vemreliis, of Greece, is one of
the few definite pletuie.s that have
emerged from the cloud of conferences
held since the world tonventlou of Paris.
The scene at Itaulngnc is singular
and jet explicable. The Greek leader
is unquestionublly one of the foremost
statesmen of the era. His knowledge of
the Near Eastern situation is explicit
nnd profound, und the so-culled "sniall"
nation which he represents has risen
within a detnde to n position of impor
tance recognition of which is unavoid
able. A dispatch from London declares
thnt "experience has shown that the
Gietks nre no match for the Turks as
fighters," but this erdict, however
faimliur and stereotyped, is quite nt
v.inunce with the facts of the two ISal
kan wars of 11)1.",, in which Hellenic
uitus at Jaulna and elsewhere coveted
themselves with glory. The directing
mind in these struggles, "little" only in
continst with the generul cataclysm
wan li so soon succeeded them, was ad
mittedly Venizelos, the man with whom
lintaln, France ami Italy aie now
ditl.eung to pull their chestnuts out of
the fire in Turkey nnd Asln Minor.
Thnt the (iieek army, in spite of its
record, is equal to this foiinidnble tusk
may be questionable, but tlieru is no
shadow upon the ability of the giftd,
ilear-hended Ctetnu who, within nn e
traoidiiinriij brief period, has given to
his country virtually a new birth. Nat
urally be will drive the best bargain
ha con in the piesent emergency, but
should his plan succeed, where others
have fuiied, In restoring order in the
dismembered Tuikish empire, even the
uupnlntablcness of somo of his terms
mnv have to be condoned, A first-rate
mind can usually afford to dictate.
Dr. James It. Hvslop,
Good Telephone one of the best known
.Senko psychical research in
vestigatois, died in
Upper Montclnlr, N. .1., last Thursday
and. according to spiritualist mediums
in New Yotk, began almost immediutelv
to communicate with them. Indeed, if
we can believe the repoits, he got into
communication with the mediums more
quickly than be could have got contiic
tlon with New- York by the long dis
t.itico telephone if he had been ulive.
They do not tell us what ho mid, but
they aie certain thnt It is he who bus

Iiyslop himself was convinced of the
possibility of communicating with the

Uy GEORGE NOX MrCAIN
PHOFESSOU JOHN DENNIS MA
IIONE1. head of the Department of
English in the West 'Philadelphia High
School, an exceptionally keen observer,
with background of earlier years spent
In newspaper work, recited tho following
as characteristic of n gcternl tendency
among certain high school nnd college
students ns nn outgrowth of conditions
following the world war:
"Shortly after the close of the wnr,"
said Professor Mahoney, "a young man
of my acquaintance who had broken off
his schooling to serve in the army was
asked what he Intendecd to do with
himself.
" 'I'm going to college,' " was the
prompt reply. " 'I had not Intended to
go to college before my army experience,
but now I am going.'
" 'To study what?' he was asked.
" 'lluslness management,' came the
reply like n shot from n gun.
"Further questioning developed thnt
he wns not fnmllinr with any particular
business either through personal ex
perience or by home associations.
"He did not seem to feel any preju
dice either for or against a rlngle busi
ness in the world.
"He was going to study the general
principle of management and then pick
out some business to try it on."
PUOFESSOIt MAHONEY tells me
thnt he finds this tendency among a
portion of high school students, and
young men who have completed their
f cshmnn year in college, with whom he
has come In contnet.
"It is not new," the professor pointed
out.
"It is very, very old. It is the human
Impulse to try to get something for
nothlni; to acquire skill without prac
tice; to airplane nbove the rugged road
of toil nnd experience.
"It Is the duty of nil educational
Institutions, nnd nil educntors," con
tinued Professor Mnhoney, "to hammer
this illusion out of their students,
"For the boy who ennnot go further
than the close of high school training
it is well to gt!t his feet firmly on the
(.-round and realize that no business can
be taught In school.
"With this fnNe Idea annihilated
their courses In business science nnd ef
rVicnev will be worth while to the youug
man who has time to tnke them."
A hearty "amen" to Professor Ma
honev's declaration will rise from the
lips of every man who hns hnd to mnLc
his wav fiom bottom to top over the
roi ky load of practical experience.
REV. W. IIERPEHT I1UKK, rector
of the Washington Memorial Chapel
at Valley Forge, is the embodiment of
the spiiit of religious patriotism.
For years past he has labored unceas
ingly to accomplish what no one else
thought of attempting, viz.. present
ing nt Valley Forge the visible evidence
of its high position ns a shrlue of
American patriotic devotion.
And it is n work fnr grcntcr than nny
of us in the workaday vvor'd appre
ciates. It marks the devotion of one
man's life to n grent purpose.
It Is deserv'ng of nntlon-wide atten
tion, iiidn-scmciit and support.
Mr, Ilurk is fust of nil a clergvman ;
after thut he is a prnctit-al idealist.
I fnncy thnt the dienm of the every
dny man would hnve been to embody
memories of Valley Forge In some archi
tectural splendor ns represented in one
vast building ns the center of this
shrine.
Put Mr. Ilurk hid nnother vision.
It was of wider scope. It embraced
not oil" but numerous structures which,
when lompletid, will form a perfect and
harmonious whole.
MR. IlUIiiC Is modest in 'describing
his aspirations. He prefers to net
nnd let the completed vision in stone,
stnined class and sacred memento speak
for itself.
He tells me that in the eight buildings
which nre n pnrt of his geneihl plan,
nnd which will represent us manv
pcilods of American history, there will
be collected telics pertaining to each
period represented.
"The purpose is to associate with
eneli epoch the memorinls distinctively
associated with that period of our na
tion's history," he said.
Only recently did he discover and
secuie the mniquee used by Washing
ton at Valley Foige. Later on he un
earthed the bill for it and tho leather
receptacle which originally contained
the tent.
The bill hnd n puzzling referenre in
ancient script to what appeared as n
"vva'lue" A closer examination led
to the discoverv thnt the word was
meant for "valise"; the leathern bag
In whiih the mnrqiKo wus inclosed
when not in use.
Scores of rilics of Washington, nnd
the period reptesented by the encamp
ment nt Valley Forge, are waiting
the completion of a structure that will
house them in adequate form for pre
sentation to the pilgrims of patriotism
who in future jeurs, will journey to the
shriue.

It hns no political friends to reward.
It seeks only to bring Into the field

Colonel Morden, like the Israelitisli

Six months remain In which tn com

Of cold, sweet water bubbling under

Comes to destroy me; once more I renew
Firm faith in jour nbuudnueu whom

Long since, to bo but just one other
mound
Of sand whereon no green thing ever
grew.
And once again, nnd wiser In no wise
I c-haep your colored phantom on tile

And sob und weep nnd fall and curse
und rise
And stumble pitifully 0n to where
Miserable and lost, with stinging eyes,
Once more I clasp and there Is noth

inet. The government's platform will nf
firm tho new regime proposes lovnllv to
