Furthermore, virtually -er fhip in the servicp is to be ordereit within n reasonable length of time upon a foreign cruise. These teforms are commendable.

A STITCH IN TIME THERE is no nicnsiou for alarm over the report that the gipy moth has been discovered on some tiees that Charles M. Schwab has received at his estate near Lord to fioin Sornerville, N. J If attacked in time the pest can b , prevented from spieadmc.

TheXgipsy moth rat aged New Eng land trees for rears because the neces sity of destroving if was not realised at flrsf. The first moths appeared on a tree in the back tnrd of an entomolo gist in n Boston suburb, who had ob tained u speeimen from Europe for atudy. He put it in a window- and it blew outside, and he forgot all n limit it until the tree the next war was cov ered with caterpillars Nothing wiis done until n large area wa infested. 'All we have to do here is to piofit by the blunder of the Massachusetts au thorities and net in time A few dol lars spent now will make it iiiinccc-.arv to spend hundi"ds of thousand- if not millions w'thin three or four years to en.ve the trees of the state SOME PERSIAN MIRACLES THE Society for the Exnneintinn of Marco Polo is overdue The Ilnl shevist drive on Persia, Afghanistan.

KO-KO EMERGESNTO THE POLITICAL ARENA He Has His "Little List" of Victims Ready and Is Expecting an Order to Use tho Ax THERE are some honors which have to be thrust upon n man. He always protests and accepts them with the greatest reluctance. His hesitation Is real and not feigned, .is was that of Caesar when he thrice spurned the Kingiy crown on me l.upercnl. No man. for example, wllllnglv be- come, n judge In a habv show. The hazards are too great to be attractive. ' I he legendary place noted more for .ts I society than for its climate is said to I hold no fury like n woman scorned, but ; Its furies are tame in comparison with I those that stir n woman whose off i spring has been turned, down In a con I test of beauty and charm with the I offspring of her neighbors. The authro I poloirists ran give excellent reasons for ) the pride of a mother and talk learnedly about its relations to race survival, Veverflielesq. pviti ninn who hns hpnn a judge in a contest of infantile charms has found it uupleasant to come In contact with outraged feminine instinct in action. If things go on as they have begun, men are likely to hesitate as long befoic accepting u nomination to Congress as they do whn asked to sit in judgment of the beauty of human immaturity lu its most defenseless period. Various organizations aie already preparing to make it hot for the congressmen who have not done their utnioit to ndvance the fortunes of the pet "babies" which the organizations arc mothering. The Auti-Saloon League Is after every man who is suspected of a disposition to relax the provisions of the Volctead law. Its members have long been sing ing with Ko-Ko iu "The Mikado" : As some dui It may happen A victim must be found, I've got a little list ! I've got a little list ! But its list is not yet so long as that of the Rank and Kile Veterans' Asso ciation, which contains the names of -"(1 members of the House and fifty eight members of the v-ennte who are charged with the high crime of "lepre- sentiug v all street interests as against the ex-soldier and the public." And the equal suffragist, have not been idle. The've got a lime list, too, and the men who-e nnjnc- arc on it would better watch out. The Plumb planners are arranging to hand the black spot to ovcrx longressman on their little list, nnd the American Fed erntiou of Labor not only has a lift of "victims." but it has also compiled a list of their offenses. It is in the form of the record on labor legislation of every member ever since ho entered Congress. All these lists arc to be circulated wheie they will do the most good. As listing is a game nt which two can play, the anti-suffragists and the wets and the believers in all street and the opponents of the excessive de mands of labor unions have prepared their own roll of congressmen who cuu be trusted. Indeed, the possibilities of the listing business nie limitless. We need not be surprised if the merchnnt tailors make' up a list of the congressmen who wear remlv made clothes, or If the clothing manufacturers get together the names of all who patronize the custom tailors and appeal to the people to elect or defeat the men according to the origin of their coats and tiousers. And the women may seek information as to the kind of costumes the wives of the congressmen wear in Washington and if it Is proved thnt a wife has been seen in it low-necked gown the defeat of tlie husband may be demanded by the prudes and the believers in prudlsh ncss. The farmers' unions are just ns likely to get a list of lawmakers who own spike-tailed coats and circulate it where it will be effective. They know that in certain sections of the country the pos session of such a garment means j10. lltical death. Wasn't it Joe Bailey, of Texas, who was elected first on an nntl-spike-tailed-coat platform? At any i ate, when he first appeared in Wash ington he boasted that he had never owned such a garment and never would own one. And the barbers are still to be heard from. They arc naturally opposed to iiery man who shaves himself or who gets his hair cut only once a year. Tlie number of class interests involved might be multiplied, hut enough has been said to iiulnute the direction in which the making of little lists Is tend ing. As tills is the land of the free and the home of the unsatisfied, there is no icason why evei v class interest should not be represented b. its list of men to he defeated or Hh list to be elected. The oters who-e only interest Is In hawng in Washington a good Repub- litun or Democratic representative of the whole district and there are a few sin li in everj district may find the Issues so confusing that they will stay awny from the pulls. When they are told that thej must vote ngainst a can didate because he voted against the eight-hour law for railroad workers and supported the Esch-Ciiininins law which provides for granting better pay and shorter da.vs for, Hie railroad workers, and because fie voted for the Volstead art and is lukewarm on the suffrage i.stie and owns u spike -tailed coat, what arc they to do when thej favor fair play for every ono nnd believe that a man may dress as he pleases? Card Indexing and listing of con gressmen is nil very well in its wny. If it excites a greater interest iu public iHitstloiiH und mukctt the voters a little more particular about the qualifications of the men they nominate It will be beneficial. But the tendency-tit present is to belittle the party distinctions, per haps because the party differences have largely broken down, and to ask the people to elect their representatives be cause they can be depended on to favor one class of the community against an other class, It would be unfortunate if the old parties should break up into class groups, with manufacturers in one group, factory operatives lu an other, Wall street bankers in a third, and railroad woikers In n fourth, and stock raisers In n fifth, and general farmers In a sixth, anil coyon growers iu a seventh, and i-chool teachers In Mi elghthc and so on through the long list of different interests. If this should hnppen. which is not at all likely, we should have to device some new method of apportioning the congressmen so that all interests might be represented. Under the present method the school teachers Would tlnd It impossible to elect u cou gressmau unless all of them lu the state moved into a single district. Perhaps It will be just as well for us to forget all about the tittle lists and the class Interests they represent and vote for n ltepublican or n Democrat this year according as our disposition ditects. HONORS FOR EVANGELINE TT'VAXOKI.INK, who Is Mippofl --Jbe buiied In this city, lies In to an .unmarked grave. The Nova Scotlans, however, are not neglecting her. They have recently unveiled n statue of her hi a park nt Ornnd Pre near the place from which the Acadlans were nan Ishrd. The statue is of bronze and set out on nor long wanoenug. . inrge spt iint n lirr lnni? u nntlcHnff.

While Intermingled with these acrots the meadows were wafted Sounds of psalms that were sung by the Swedes In their church at Wlcaco. LEAGUE AND VANQUISHED rplIE intimation that (ieimany and Austria arc to be asked for testi mony in the international financial con ference to be held under the auspices of the League of Xntious iu Brussels on September 24 has given rise to tlie im pression that the admission of the.se wo countries into the socictv of govern ments will not be deferied so long as it was originally thought. The sooner the world grows accus tomed to this idea the brighter will be the prospects for. a really durable peace. Arguments for n considerable period of probation have, of course, their validity. Germany has plainly sought to squirm out of her treaty obligations. She will bear watching. But it must not be for gotten that the essence of the league plan, the primal feature which is urged to offset charges of a dominating mili tary alliauce, is its contemplated uni versality. As n league member Germany would be under tlie intimate scrutiny of her associates. It is worth remembering that were nil nations well behaved there would be no need for nn international partnership. It is the black sheep that have made the league so necessary. THE OLD GULF STREAM MEX of science have once more turned their attention to the Gulf Stream, this time because of the plaints of bathers along the Atlantic coast that the ocean is too cold for their favorite sport to be any longer the joy that it t'sid to be. After learned investigations, au thorities seem to differ as to the guilt of the Gulf Stream for this state of affairs; but whatever tlie final verdict, it inn simply be chronicled ns one more instance of modern humanity's habit of blaming all unusual meteorological con ditions upon this mysterious current. Recdtis of "Lorna Doone" will remem ber that, more thnn two centuries ago, "Girt John" Ridd, suffering like all the farmers on Exmoor from the sever est .vinter ever known in those parts, used to like to go to Lynmouth, on the boidtr of Devonshire, to hear nn old scafaung man there explain how "n tiling lie called the Gulf Stream" was responsible. Few of us, eveu in these enlightened dn.vs. realize how vast n debt we in the noithern hemisphere owe to this much inaligmd current of warm water that, taking its mysterious rise below the Carih pie, circles through thi'iGulf of Mexico, sv.eeps up tlie Florida straits nnd along the Atlantic const of Xortb Amirica. ever biondoning as it goes, mil is diveited by the out jutting shores of Newfoundland to leap across the At lantic and disappear along the coasts of Great Britain and Norway. Yet it is believed that this stream, and this stream alone, makes It pos sible for human beings to live and work nnd be happy and pro-peious over a much greater part of their hemisphere than is habitable in the southern half of the (,lobe. IVitv degrees not th of the Equator we find such cities as Philadelphia, Baltimore nnd Xew York, not to men tion the most thickly inhabited parts of Europe. The same distance south of the Equator we find no gieat cities, no progressive peoples, no reiil civilization, Montevideo is 3." degrees south nnd the Cape of Good Hope is in the same latitude. At ."1 degrees north we find London : nt .11 south, nothing but the Falkland Islands a dreary anil desolate group, containing only -000 Inhabitants, with 000 persons in its capital. Ten more degrees show even more plainly what the Gulf Stream has ac complished for us. At tiO north we find Christianla, Xorway, nnd Petrogrnd, Russia. At 00 south nothing. The charts of the South Atlantic end at (10 degrees. For the gi cater part of the year tlie waters there are locked tight iu the grip of the ice king. Cape Horn is 'Jin miles nearer the Equator than fills HO-degree line. But nt 70 degrees we come to the greatest i.mtrnst of nil. Ninth of the Equatoi, where the Gulf Stream leaves the shore of Nor way, tanners raise and ripin tobacco in a good j ear. The tame distance south, Scott and Amundsen found tlfi- never-melting Great Barrier, that forbidding edge of the clemiil ice plains. Let tis not, then, blame the Gulf Stream all of the time. Give it a little. rcdit once m a while. ) POWER IN POLITICS It Is Gained Only by Years of I Work Examples of Men Who Roue From the Ranks The Fascination of the ,Game Ily GEOnOK NOX McCAIN TT MAY be n trite observation at this J- stagf of the presidential contest, but the selection of two newspaper men from the same state as candidates for the presidency presents a condition unique in the annals of the country. Only two other newspaper editors ever figured on the list of "blc" presi dential candidates, viz., Horace Greeley. or :ew ork, and A llliam ,1. Ilryan, of Xebraska. There were others mighty few of them, though who blazed meteor-like on minor tickets nmong the ''also rans." Most of those termed newspaper men were In renlity merely contributors to class journals of the Prohibition, Pop ulist or Labor type. In this number were Xell Dow. Prohibition candidate In ISSO; John P. St. John, in 1SS4; .lames H. Weaver, iu 1R02. and Thomas E. AVatson. in 11104 nnd 1008. The rest of the candidates for the high office, particularly of tho two lead ing parties, havy been lawyers, poli ticians, soldiers nnd "miscellaneous." Lawyers head the list. They go Into politics ns the fatmer's. bov takes to school tenchlng for a time. It's a tem porary expedient for getting n stnrt in life: nnd the farmer's boy has the ad vantage. "j" I TpHX WEAVER during his term as . I W mayor urged young lawvers to enter I politics. Xot for the reason I hae ' ! ., niontont,(i however Hs riPniind it holds good todav and wj 10i, R00,i )0MK ns the republic masses. One of the sanest things In this connection was expressed by him In nn nddress at a banquet of the Miller Law Club of the University of Pennsylvania, In which in answer to the question, "Should n young lnwyer enter poli tics?" he said: "Bv nil means take an Interest In politics. Enter politics, but be careful that politics does not control you, but that you control politics." POLITICAL advancement for the young tnnn who is not n lawyer, and who starts out to make politics a busi ness, follows a long, tirenmc nnd rorky road. v This Is, of course, unless he is spe cially endowed with qualifications that attract the attention of the lenders of his party or is in possession of or can control money sullicient to nnancc cam paigns. One other class of young men who become politically prominent do so be cause they are technicians or possess high attainments demanded by some par ticular position. In this latter class are such men ns George S. Webster. Doctor Furbush. Carleton E. Davis. W. S. Twining nnd A. Lincoln Acker. Mr. Acker, while politically promjnent. ranks in his pres ent position as a specialist because of his business training along collateral lines. LEADERS in municipal politics, those who hold high place in official life, arc without exception men who hnve come up through long years of service in the rnnks. The only opportunity for n man to gnln transient political notoriety now adays is to force himself to the front in some sporadic movement whose exist ence terminates with the campaign which called it Into existence. He becomes a "near-politician ' for a month or so, nnd then his light goes out. Pnn then the sine nua non is some r speciul adaptability : some qualifications. Mien us "" iiniiiui" ' " ". "" gift of gab" or the possessor of nn ever ready check book. THERE is not, I fancy, n wnrd leader in Philadelphia who has not served his apprenticeship ns a precinct worker, door-bell puller or window-book man. Certain political distinctions tire ac corded prominent men ns n reward for pnrtv allegiance, distinguished ability or financial aid. such as presidential electorship or memberships on commis sions. These rank merely ns transitory honors. Their recipients arc the wall flowers on the spreading vine of pnrty organl- Thcy nre the lilies of political life, who toil not neither do they spin. They give time nnd money for tho privilege and distinction of serving. GOVERNOR. WILLIAM A. STONE began his career in HarrUhurg ns a transcribing clerk in the House of Representatives. Thomas MrCamant, afterward audi tor general, started ns n clerk in the office of the secretary of the common wealth. . , . . Lane S. Hart, late state printer, nnd J. M. Forster. subsequently Insuriince commissioner, began as clerks at $1000 a year in the office of the auditor gen Henry Hnurk, for forty years deputy superintendent of public Instruction, was once a minor clerk In the school department. .,,, . General Levi G. McCauley. who rose to be nuditor general, was nt one time assistant bergennt-nt-arins of the Senate. TT ,, Senntor A. D. Ilarlin, of Chester county, vvns n transcribing clerk of the House. Murlin E. Oinstead, for years con gressman from the Dauphin district and reputed millionaire, had his first intro duction to state polltlm as nn ?S00 a year clerk nt Hnrrlsburg. Senator David Mnrtlu when a young man was emplo.ved in the folding and pasting room of the House. James R. McAfee, subsequently dep uty secretary of the commonwealth, first secured a footing as nn nssistant clerk In the House. The list might be extended Indefi nitely ns illustrative of the fact that there is no royal road to success in politics. THE powers that hold men who are past fifty years of age in politics are, I hnve discovered, money or the lure of the game. I refer now to politicians who have obtained n fairly commanding and con spicuous position, sny fiom ward or cnuntv lender up. There is an nttrnc tion about tho pursuit entirely aside from the question of money or sense of puhlic duty. It Is ns the smell of the circus tanbark in the nostrils of the clown. , ... There arc men wielding political power in the state who are actuated by another motive which runs parallel with the Ipve of battle; that is the love of P-r: L. Magee. "Bob" Mackey. Senator Quav, Israel W. Durham and James P. McXichol felt the sway of thh Influence. I doubt not that the snme feeling, combined with a love of combat nnd the matching of witx upon the highest plane of political diplomacy, has in Ins career been quite as strong nu incentive to Boies renroio a? the acquired satisfac tion of. being a United States senator from a sovereign state. I Short cuts There (.ecnis to be Jilcnty of room for pessimism at the Polish -Bolshevist front. The census shows thnt more peo plo live in. the cities than in the coun try. Hut mole people live well in the country. Any lingering doubt that Gover nor Cox would accent the Democratic presidential nomination has now been dispelled. There Isn't a black sheep in the White House tiock. The black baa baas handed in their resignations sonic time ago. Judging by the activities of certain parties and fnctions nt the present time the political wind blows where it blacklists. "This ts no time for wabbling," snys Governor Cox. "Never in nil our history has more been done for gov ernment." Wabbling? Mcnnwhllo, observers of operations on the Bolshevists' various fronts arc hopeful that General Wrnngel may help to unravel tho general tangle. Of course It is realized that one difficulty In the way of hiring Germany to help fight the Bolshevists is that Germany might not stay hired. One thing tho railroads hnve today that they ne'rer had before the hearty good will of the whole country. Every body wants to see them tmako good. The revoking of n driver's license Is a good wny to discourage reckless speeding, but It doesn't begin to solve the problem of the nuto bandit who first steals his car. Norrlstown realizes that it is going to he n big day for the town when tlie Coughlin baby comes back. Sharon. Pa.. Incidentally, has not yet forgotten the thrill that came with the return of Billy Whltla. Saturday's paper recorded the case of a man killed in n tnxicab crash while on his wny to join his ship. This is calculated to make every old salt grin sardonically when he rends of the perils of the deep. New York has shown the wny to reduce expenses id the matter of trans portation for niunicipnl employes by establishing a fleet of taxicabs. Vcrllv the way of the joy rider is being made increasingly hard. The International Harvester Com pany has set asjde a large amount of its stock to be distributed from time to time among employes as n bonus on the basis of yearly earnings. First thing we know capital nnd labor, fellow workers, will be little playmates. Among those who nre doing their utmost to bring the prohibition act into disrepute must be counted those inter nal revenue officers who. as in a case recently noted In Pittsburgh, violate the constitution of the United States by entering homes without complaint or warrant. An nttorney for the Dairymen's League of Xew Vork urges the enact ment of a law giving a bonus to farm ers for every heifer calf raised to the milk-producing age. A cheaper and more effective way of increasing the milk supply would be n law forbidding the killing of heifer calves. Produce reports show that the farmer "gets his" only in the slangy sense. Vegetables sell in the market for four nnd five times the price' he gets for them. The reason is that he sells as an individual to nn organized group of commission men. One remedy would be for the farmers to do a little organizing themselves. Rchcnrsnls for the Pilgrim cente nary pageant are being held by public school children in Boston parks, and it is pleasing to note that the Boston Transcript thinks it is ns nntural for Alice Cecconia, Carmeln Mariano and Helen Rncklawskl to be Pilgrim maid ens as it Is for anybody else to be. The melting pot has evidently made a good job of it in Boston. The futility of class voting is shown by the fact thnt the blacklist of various organizations virtunlfy includes every member of Congress In both houses. The wise voter votes ns an American, not ns n wet or a dry, a suffragist or an nnti, n plumber or a Methodist; and the thing .that de termines his choice of a candidate is not a single Item In n platform, but his seasoned judgment concerning all mat ters therein contained.
