JIM HAM ON WOMEN
WHAT in the world has Jim Ham Lewis
been reading during tin months of his
Involuutnrv retlrunent from the Senate of
the United States' Kipling, do jou suppose,
or Dnrwin or the hi aided Shaw or the wild
Iconoclasts of German science who used to
whisper darkl.v over their beer that women
should be. kept in a condition of servitude
lest they devnntatc the earth by their
cruelty?
"The viewpoint of woman." says .1 Hnm,
sajff he, "Is as different from a man's as
that of n leopard or n tiger "
Now, a viewpoint Implies a mentality and
loflen deductions arrived at bv a process of
orderly reasoning Lions and tigers nre not
regarded ns reasonable creatures bv those
who know them host Let that pass.
"Ily nature," continues Mr. Lewis reck
lessly, "women are not for peace. Thev aie
for fight. Woman's nature is to demand
conflict. In politics men voto for some one
or for some thing Women vote against
Home one or some thing. They are more
Concerned about the defeat or overthrow of
what they object to than about who or what
hall tie put In Its place. The purposes of
men and women converge at the point we
call home. They will move outward and
npart lu matters of government!"
jjm Ham. Jim Hani! You wero by far
the blazlugcst man lu public lifo when, in
the not for distant past, vour vests illumined
the regions of Capitol Hill and caused tho
bush leaguers In Congress to believe that tho
downward sun had paused In his Might at
the very edges of the evening. Can it be that
jrou must still shine in other vvaja and at all
fta or die?
.Bfor the war we took Stir. Klnllnr's
werd fsjf a xood many thing. Half tho
V
world was almost ready to believe that tho
femalij of the species was more deadly than
the male. Tint the emperors and the gen
erals nnd the ministers of state who were re
sponsible for the Mnrnc', for Ypres, for the
submarines, for gs tanks and air bombs
made us stop and ponder, and, for nil we
know, the) made even Mr. Kipling stop and
ponder, too, nnd revise some of the delusions
thnt he carried froi the edgTs of the Indian
jungles to the liteinr.v maiket plates of nu
unsophisticated world.
To suggest in this particular time that
vvometi mo unthinking, that they utaln be

Qe
THE DEMOCRATS FAILED TO
TAKE THE MESSAGE TO GARClA
This la Why the Nation Is Looking to
the Republican Party for Con
structive Statesmanship
TTK. HOOVEIt, when he discusses the is
" sues of the campaign, does not lose sight
of the Inslc facts.
Tt was the nbject failure of the Demo
cratic partj under Its present leadership to
meet its obllgitions that led the voters
months ago to decide that thej wanted n
rhange.
The issue, then, is the ousting of n party
that has proved false to Its trust nnd tho
substitution for it of another party lu con
trol of the national government.
No one has made the specifications in the
Indictment against the Democratic party
with greater clearness than Mr. Hoover.
After calling nttenllnti to the hearty co
opeiatlon of the Hi public ins with the Demo
crats In the prosecution of the war, Mr.
Hoover remarks:
Hut with vlitorv accomplished the
l"aelers of the Uemoiratli party, dlsro
R.itcllng this co-operation deckled f ig

Slates nnd to make pence alone Hro, I

lias ceiscd to funct fn.
The nrmistlce was signed in November
two jears ngo. The peace treaiv was ub
n itted to the Semite the following .Till) It
was infilled with little dehv in all the' other
allied and associated nations where there
was (ffc-ctive leadership tognbint of the
nece lty of action. There was absolute
failure in the White House to tecognle the
conditions under which agieemcnt could be
reached hete. Indeed, that failure began
,. lw... .1... 4 I . ,
"in ii mi- .uiiciicuii peace ueieniioii was
named.
No treaty can be intlflei without the con
sent of the Senate. Ne ithei pnrtv hail the
necessary two-thlrds mijoiilv in that bodv.
It wns patent to most n," us that it was a
stupendous b'uueler to Ignore the Republican
half of the Sen-ite, nnd to attempt to jam
iieiwii ns iiiroat an international agreement
In the drafting of which the I'nited States
was icprescnti'd mil) b) u man who held
the Republican Senate lenders in lontempt
ami wns ver.v free in expressing his opinions
on thnt mntter.
The pe'ice delegation included more per
sons than Mr. WiKon. but Mr. Wilson went
his own wa.v and when his decisions were
announced in the conference' his nsochtcs
learned of them for the first time. When he
came home his own part was in ignoiani'e
of his purposes. He took nn one into his
confidence. The Democratic leaders in the
Senate flouneleieel hedples.sh for months be
fore the President's health broke down. And
the ti'chnical vtate of war continued mid still
continues because the- lender in the White
House wns determined, us Mr Hoover sn.vs.
to make n Democratic peace or none
Mr. WiNon failiel to deliver the message
to (Sun iu And not onl.v his pint), but the
I'liitcd State-, and the rest of the woild ar"
sifffering today from that failure.
This is true in spite of the man) nd
mirnble epialities of the President. His
high idealism is splendid and has been an
Inspiration far be.voud the bounds of the
I'liited States. Rut a statesman is measured
h) his ni hieveuieiits and u leader is measured
b) his ability to carry his forces to ultimate
vie tor) Ilv these tests tho Pi evident is
foiinel lacking. And because he and Ins
pait) are linking, the nation is piepniing to
put the management of Its affairs m otlie r
hands, in the confident hope that the new
men will arrange for the co-operation of the
t'nltee States with other nations in an asso
ciation for the preservation of the woilel
peace.
Mr. Hoover is light when lie sHv tint the
dispute has not bcim over the principle of a
world association. It would be difficult to
find n corpoial's guarel of really influential
men fiom the Atlantic to the Pacific who
oppose such an association. It lias been
urged for jears b.v men of nil par'les, but
the Republican leaders have been more in
sistent on It than the Democratic leieliTs It
is a plan born of the same kind of idealism
that gave birth to tho Repuhlie an party, and
its practical merits ate such as commend
themselves to the kind of intellect that 1ms
directed the great constitutive policies that
have been the gloiv of the Republican pait).
What elisngriement there lias been has
onsen over the conditions uiieler which the
I'nited States should enter such an nssneh
tinu I'nless the conditions arc satisfac (orv
to a majority of the people we might ns well
stav out I'nless the association itsidf is
such as to have the support of the people of
the nations within it it will be powerless.
Such effectiveness us it is to have will de
pend tntirelv on whether the men who have
framed its charter hnve successful!) (j;i0T.
ered just how far the people are willing to
go to pt event war.
In the I'nited States it has been obvious
for months that the nation was nut icaelv
to accept the covenant of the League of
Nations ns Mr Wilson submitted it to the
Sennte. Tin re has been a demnnd thnt It be
interpreted and rewritten in such a nj ni
to assuie every one that we were not sur
rendering more than we gained Whether
that demnnel had a just foundation or not
is not impoitnnt It was one of the facts
which a constructive statesmanship would
have recognized, for as Mr Hoover has said,
"on methods men must divide ar.1 states
manship will compromise."
I'nder the circumstances it is not surpris
ing that Mr. Hoover, who has bun engaged
for .vrars in constructive work, conciliating
opposing forces and smoothing awav differ
dices in order thnt results might be accom
plished, should declare that "to have ohsti
natel) held up the peace of the world for
eighteen months; to have rejected tho op
nortuulty for amicable adjustment of differ.

greatest failure of American statesmanship
since the Civil War."
The "solemn referendum," then, he In
ielstn, Is not on the league, but on tho failure
of tho Democratic party.
This brings us to the point with which
jvc started, namel), that it was that failure
of the Democratic party as nn efficient In
strument of government which has led the
nation to look with hope to Republican lead
ership. No amount of discussion of other mnttcrs
can distract attention from this grcnt Issue.
It oveitops everything else.
BURNING MONEY
T71IRi:.PRnT.NT10N DAY. proclaimed
by the President nnd ndvertNed by public
officials nnd fire undci writers all over the
country, hns pnsscel. Will the country pro
ceed to forget it nnd continue to lose $2.10,
000.000 nnnunllv In preventable fires?
Now, n fire loss Is not like a loss in busi
ness or in tho stock market. It docs not
represent rrented values shifted from hand
to hnnd. It is, instead, an lirepnrable loss,
an obliteration of values from among the
nsspts of the nntion and the cninmunltv.
This state Is poorer b.v about $20,000,000
each )car because people refuse to take ordl
unry precautions ngslnst fire.
Oddly enough. It Is in raking among tho
ashes of the former (ierninn empire thnt )nu
will find the best clue to a method for the
elimination of these losses. The (Jernnns
were thrift). Thev had a view of fires thnt

the Germany of the kaiser, )ou had a fire in
)our house or in your place of business the
neighbors and the nuthoritles did not com
miserate with you. When the bhee was ex
tinguished two stout policemen with swords
appeared to mnich )ou off to n station
house, whee jou would icinniii to be ie

were found to have been negligent )ou paid
n fine or went to jail. In (Jeimany the fire
losses were negligible when viewed in com
parison vvitli the lire losses of the United
States.
Stricter laws as well as mornl suasion will
be ropilreel to keep Americans from burning

EVERY ONE wns engaged, contracted
for and told how important it wns
thev should not only come on time but finish
on time' Ever) one gladly promised to be
nnd to do nil wc could ask or think.
WHEN the day dawned for the caretaker
to hand over the ke.vs to the electrician,
who wns to work nil thiough the schedule,
leaving each room, ns he finished it, to he
tnl.en up liv the ncf workmen In turn, we
thought nffectinnn'olv of nil those bus)
workers nnil c lierrful sou's beginning in the
hot. dust) town to make our winter homo
bright nnd eheerful for us. We set our
return from our summer rest n day or two
earlier than nsunl ho we coulel Inspect the
work before the very last touches.
Hack, veiy far back', lu our minds there
was a dim. hesitant suspicion that there
might be elehivs hero and there, but we
shrank from putting it Into words. We left
it, like the loot and the cellar, to take
enre of itself.
Our last prophetic net before checking
our trunks for the journey to town wns
to telegraph the cleaning women to begin.
Thev will all be out of the house bv Mon
elav. I said. I was right! They were,
because thev, meaning the painters, pnperers
and carpenters, hnel not begun!
QJINCH then there havo been wild doings.
sJ Ten men n ud three cleaning women nnd
n boy 'tween) liuve been doing their worst
mi and down this house. Thev nil cnnie at
mice nnd. leg-it dless of the seheduie.'ieguiel
less of the fact that the paper we chose was
one nt slock unci the paint could not get
elrlecl in time for the electricians to tear up
the floor and begin ngnln, that the plumber
wns the one to take away the chandeliers
and the carpenter should not be used to
beln the 'tweeny mend the cleaner's ladder,
und, ngaidless of the act thnt every one
tluew ever) thing out of the windows into
the aril, so there was no place to saw
vood or weld pipe or solder wires but the
I itr hi'ti, we, the owners, are now living
there !
Hefore vve tried thnt desperate expedient
wcrnme and saw "how things were getting
in" as mativ times n dnv ns vve could drag
our feet over the pnvcmentH from the club.
Wc could see for ourselves ever) thing was
getting on but the work.
THE plumber, who was Irish, got on the
o.npi'iitor's nerves, who wns u Lith
uanian, and insults lieu, so that the colons!
conk and a cleaner hid iu the eellnrwa).
Tile bosses of both were summoned nnil
passed "words" to each other "Deutcher
nnd Sinn Coiner" being the most descriptive
anil, relieving. The clod! icinim hoied their
bi'o like wnv theniitrli floors, walls, eeillngs
nnd roofs nnd left large, square holes and
long gullies in eliisky corneis Into wbiih
the 'tweenv fell whin he was beiuiug furni
ture to and fro.
The pnperhnngor came and did parts of
rooms and then disappeared for several
ela.vs at u time. Th" painters nppi'ared in
swai ins and then didn't come!
Hut nttei vve came and liveel iu the
house evciv one rettirntd, everv one got
along vvltlt ever) one else, vve passed from
one Inspii ing scene of labor to another nnd
gave ourselves over to the social jo)s of

de sccnelod.
Theie were even those who. as a hik and

We knew them bv name', mill the .vounest

the enrpc liters have gone. The thiee

Know Best .
ANDREW WRIGHTCRAWFORD
On Art In City Development
AI'INE picture or piece of sculpture, be
sides tho value which pel tains to it as
art. is a good lommeiclal business ussct
and collections of such ait constitute n cor
responding asset for u citv, in the opinion
of Andrew Wright Crawford, secrctur) of
the Philadelphia Ait .lurv,
Accoiding to Mi Cinvvfntd. who is also
secretary of the Clt) Parks Assoc iation nnd
n member of the exi-eutivo boards of the
Amciicnn redcintlon of Ait nnd the Ameri
can Civic Association. Philadelphia is ii"g
Iecting this commercial nsset existing in her
gienl ait collections which she consistently
fulls to advertise.
"There are two main elivisious of art as
npplieel to u clt)." eleclared Mr. Crawford.
"Oue is outside or civic ait, exemplified by
pieces of sculptilie or big civic undo! takings
such ns our own Puli-mount Parkway oi
the Michigan nvoniio development In Chi
cago or the Kings Wa.v, in London. Tne
other form Is thnt tut which, combined with
civic art, has meant such a gicnt ninouiit of
money for the commeice of Palis, l'lorence
nnd Venice and other I'lties- noted foi their
dilution of the line nrts.
Opportunity for Philadelphia.
"The opportunity of Philadelphia for
adding to tho volume of mono) flowing iu
its coinmeicinl channels bv means of the de
velopment of both of these feu ins of nit is
ouraotdinnr) As It wns cxpnsed to me
one dav bv a Philadelphia hotel man, Then
is nothing that means so much for letail
slotes, as well ns hotel iuteicsls, as the
completion of the pnrkwn.v and the art
museum '
'The mono) Unit is left in the citv bv
louiists is so much pure 'velvet.' Theie is
nothing thnt uttiacts It so much as eliffer
t ii t foims of civic nit Contiast v. it h the
potcucv ot the appeal of a cit.v l.ke Wash
Ington" or Los Angeles the sheer cost of
I'gliness of towns like Hobe ken or Wee
liawkiu. "When we nre discussing matters like (lie
paikwav and the nit museum, II is im
peutaut'to l.evp in mind what the cilv would
lie like without these and similar impi ele
ments If making u citv attractive means
mouev for its cltleiis, how murh loss docs
an ugh citv cause to its inhabitants !
"I heard of a city of 200,000 Inhabitants,
of which Rnrtlikoi was icportod to havo
saiel, 'This citv had that ninth population,
but there wus nothing vvmtli noting there '
That was an adveitlsemint which cost that
oil) luminously
I'rges Advertising Improvements
"I hone thnt the commerciul oiganiations
of Philadelphia, such as the Chamber of
Commeice and the llonitl ot Trade, will ns
vigorous!) adveitiso the cousti notion of the
Pull mount paikwav and the pmgitfss of the
art mcsi'iim as the Commeiclnl Club of Chi
cago aelvi'itlsed the piopniiition and pub
Mention of the citv plan of Chicago, and as
it is now advertising everv one of the steps
bv which It Is cm r) Ing into effect that
simerb plan of iuipiovenient for which the
clt) has ah cad) paid a total of SDO.OOO.OOO
"Am city that puts through so hi,' a
thing ns the Pali mount puikway is a citv
that is alive, vigorous and active, and it is
suih a titv that attracts commerce. Clove
land, und especially its Chanibi r of Com
mono is adveitislng its pioi'icss with tho
Clevilnud gioup plan, a piogress which,
relativolv to the iiuniTi"! of poop.o in tin
two citic's, is costing mote tlinn the pnrkvvn)
and its buildings.
"Philadelphia lies today between two
most povveiful magnets for (lie liioncv of
louiists, Washington ul New Yoik. Hun
dieils of tliousinds of vlsltois go to these
cities eveiy veui. The) pass b) our doois.

"Philadelphia possesses in its public and
