of the national vision. In the colleges, In
the pulpits and In Vie newspapers protest Is
making against the narrowness of the po
litical vision. Two million American jonths
have been In Kuropo and have discovered
that there are men also beyond tho oceans.
The seed has been planted. It may ba slow
In germinating, but It In bound to spring up
In tlmo and yield a beneficent hardest. The
nations which haro been crucified by war
will ultimately the from the dead and a
new gospel of human brotherhood v. Ill grad
ually spread until national Jealously go to
the litnbo nlong with provincial thinking.
Then when the foreign relations committees
of Congress deliberate It will be upon the
merits of plans for International peace In
stead of upon how this country can shift iti
moral obligations to somebody else.
TAXICABS AND TERRORISM
rIKECTOK COHTKIA'OP appears to
-' have evolved some entirely new theories
of law enforcement. Policemen comfortably
throned on the front seat' of taxicabs are to
hunt for violent criminals under tho bright
lights. Certainly the director should go a
little further. He ought to warn nil good
citizens to stay olT the unguarded streets
and go to bed at dark whll" hh diverting
experiment continues.
For months a bitter war has been in prog
ress between tnxicab companies in this city
and striking chauffeurs. Tnxi.s have been
-tolen and wrecked. They have been stoned
by the strikers. And more tocntly, by the
introduction of home-made bombs into their
interiors., n few of them have been trans
formed into rolling Infernal machines hardly
less dangerous to people in the streets tlmn
they nre to unsuspecting passengers. It is
this conflict of violence that culminated In
the brutal murder of two employes aud the
injury of six In a ntntlon of one of the com-pniiie-i
involved In ithe strike where a bomb
taken from an incoming car exploded. The
inevitable assumption, supported by common
sense and the clear evidence of recent events,
is that the outraso was the work of striken
or their sjmpathi7er.s. It is natural to
K'ipio-e that by this time the police would
!.now u'l about the plana and hublta of the
Men suspected.
"Kiidicnln!" said Captain Tempest,
meaning, apparently, mjsterlous people sup
posed to l at wnr with society. Ulot
sqv.rds were sent raiding in drcles. Slxtten
n en were locked i.p and the police had no
evidence ou which to hold any of them.
Patrolman, suatchoij again from their post",
wtri sent trundling aimlessly about the city
on the cabs, though they alieady bad more
work than they could do in tho jobs for
which they are engaged. Pronouncements
issued at City Hall made police headquar
ters Miund unpleasantly like a kind rgarten
m a tl'irr..
In ome of the older countries a man
wl'se 1 ii'is-e takes fire is regal drd as a dan
gerous individual subject to strii t investi
gation and punishment until he an prove
that h did tverything po-mlMe to protect
not nt ly his own property but the liven and
propi rtj of his neighbors. The lawlessness
tvct has characterized the taxionb strike is
i. n..m wajs suggestive if a tip. It has
gro..n to be dangerous t' the pe.iee and tho
I.fe : the community. !-o, -v-:i if the
poliei eoj.d arrest the murderers in this
n's-ancy ntnl send them to the deetri" chair,
thi r- .-'ill would remain a very serious und
unanswered question. Who is actually r
rpons tie for a condition of affair In which
unguarded taxicabs may be much like death
traps to people who engage tlcm'' Can two
opposed groups of men bi pi rmitted to go or.
indefinitely mn'tlng a battleground of the
city streets a.i the tuxicab owner and their
forrr.er employes have been doing?
So far as the public re-urd of the strike
rjvials, no fiTort has ever been maJe to cil!
e'laer hide to a rational aoe.iunMi.g or t-vui
to l"a;i wl.-.t they are lighting alio .t. The
trouble "vith people who attribute everj act
of outrage and violence to "ludicals" is that
they make ro further eiTort to find out who
or what or wher these tudicnls are. The
word has come to be aeceptul ns n soit of
universal explanation, a universal term that
justifies inaction by atttibiiting every ii.i
agit.iibie sort of wrong to Homebody In a
dim world tevonl t'..- r. aeh of police au
thority. The radicals in this instance are s-omv-iLiii

AS ONE WOMAN SEES IT
It Isn't Pure Carelessness That le
neaponslble for Hard Times In
Kensington nnd Lending a
Hand la a Good Investment
H- SAHAII . LOWRIK
YOU hear very severe remarks about the
working people who hnd such big wages
this time last year and who nre how, so to
speak, on the town, with not a red cent In
the savings bank to show for all the war
years of steady work and big wages.
The story of the man who fumbled about
in his overnlln pocket and bought a pearl
necklace with ready cash : the story of the
thousnnd and one typewriter girls In fur
coats and the stories of the laborers' fami
lies that only bought tenderloin, are without
doubt true. We hnve all helped needy fami
lies and found they had put the rent money
into cabinet photogniphn of all the children,
so one can be pretty certain that luxuries
rather than necessaries will be what six men
out of seven covet and will stand treat for
once n sudden lapftil of gold tumbles Indio
crlmlnatcly upon him.
BCT the stories of the worJclngnicn who
bought houses in this city lust spring by
the thousands are also true. The tale of the
prices paid for those houses being once and
n half greater than their prc-vvnrtlmc value
and nlreadv a third more than their present
value, 1m likewise true. They did not wnnt
to Invest In houses of an Inflated value, but
It was that or nothing. Houses' were not
being rented last spring. Thev were the
rearrest aud mot expensive things on the
market ; the smaller the house the larger the
inflation of value. Hut If your landlord re
fused to rent the house you had lived In for
years, you were up against it. There wna
no place to go but out '
And the stories of the Inflated prices for
rhoes and food und enrfare were true j but
you had to buy food and wear shoes and be
conveyed to work none the less.
And the stories of the Liberty Hond buying
were also true ; and the loss of some of their
negotiable vulue hit months later waft true.
The stories of the great accumulation In
the banks of savings made by the people were
true ; also the tales of the banks' sudden
caution nbout making loans to the peoplo
were true.
The great nums Tuised for war sufferers
and for the Red Cross, the great taxes raised
by the government, the partly successful
drives by the churches nnd bv the Y. M.
C. A. nnd the Knights of Columbus all theso
were true I
These did not come out of the rich only.
Shop after shop, mill after mill boauted of
being "over the top" 100 per cent.
I HEARD u man who had casually given
hlc daughter a pearl necklace valued at
more than SlOO.OflO for nn extra birthday
present because of his gains in one week on
11 staple of food that is usually six cents a
pound but was selling at twenty-six rents.
1 heard him deuonncing the uuthi-Ift.v habits
of his employes, falrl.v bellowing about how
little pity they deserved because of their
folly and their fondness of luxuries when
tlu-y should have been lulng by. and I won
dered nt his lack of imagination for the
power of example. They probably secretly
envied his lavish power to give and admired
his success in getting. So when they got
what looked big to them they also spent it
ii what looked big
IN FACT, tho v.-orkingmen in this country
did about what every one does who comes
Into a legacy. Instead of putting aside all
of the extra Inheritance for investment, they
took some of the loose odd hundreds or thou
sands as ready money and lived on Kasy
street for u season.
They did some of the foolish, splurgv things
the; had always fancied the dwellers on Kasy
street enjoyed doing. Who of us that has aii
ounce of "pep" in us hao not been foolirh '
encp and again on Kasy street! Some of
us pay by -doing without luxuries for n sea
son, some of us pay by do'ng without neccs
Miricd. The fact that we have all rich or
poor trespassed on Kasy street makes our
-uperlor attitude of "better than thou" when
we are only "bi tt'T off than thou" just a
bit too smuij.
I HEAR that In Kensington 2! per cent of
the emplojes of the mills are out of work
and that hundreds of them will need help
before the spring
I used to run it penny bank in Kensing
ton. I ran it twice a week for about four
years with the help of a lot of capable vol
unteers and with the hacking and oversight
of the Lighthnu.se Settlement. In those da;
children were employed in the mills, aid
they used to come with their wings as well
as tl" ir parints. Our business amounted to
manv. many thousands u year, and when i"
reached over fs.'lO.OOO we very thankful!-,
1'iiniled it ovi r to one of the big savings oanl ii
of the city which established a Keut.ir.gM.
branch that is flourishing to this day.
Once I had a run on the bank because of
'ome n isin.der-tnnitlng between a child of
six who liiij been sei ' fo draw out tl.e family
acioutjt fur a funeral without the prescribe''.
notlcQ of one week. I did not know it wis
for a funeral the child spoke of it as "the
doings at our house" and I sent her 1 on-e
with the message that the bank could i.et i,av
that wed.. I should hnve said "will no'k
pay, and r!l wotild hnve been well. ,s 't
vas, we hid a panic and hundreds of cl!l
dren. r- etiforc -d by indignant parents, !n
line.
It wi -i Satrrday and all the banks were
clo-fd and our stock of cash was soon ex
hausted. I shall never forget thosp anxious
strained f,t"es. Very few had more than S'.i

NOW MY IDEA IS THIS
Daily Talks With Thinking Philadelphians on Subjects They
Knoiv Best
ARTHUR D. MURPHY
On Life Insurance as a Factor In Thrift
LIKE insurance is the social service which
In a great, constructive way helps to
develop bigger and better men and women
for life's work, in the opinion of Arthnr V.
Murphv, president of the Philadelphia Asso
ciation' of Life f ndorwriters and a promi
nent local Insurance man.
The importance of today mi National Life
Insurance Day in connection with .Thrill
Week, according to Mr. Murph;. is n thing
(he dti.'.ens of this country should not forget.
The connection of the welfare of the stato
with tho sound basis of family life, nnd the
latter with insurance, are emphasized by Mr.
Murphy b.v Hiinessivi- stages.
"Today lsNaioual Life Insurnnc" Day.
tie inidtll- or keystone day of National
Thrift Wee!:." sa;s Mr. Murphy. "And it
may not be apparent to some, ai it should
be to all, Just why life insurance has been
allotted this significant position in the na
tional propaganda for wise management nud
prosperity. Yet life Insuronce is probably
the most Important factor iu the establish
ment and growth of thrift.
Thrift a Valuable Habit
"Thrift is a habit the practice of which
conservis our resources by careful and frugal
managunent and strengthens in thoughtful
persona the values of moral obligation, oun
tldence and contetitn 1 nt of mind. All tlicso
attributes nre emphasized by the unselfish
provision made possible bv life insurance.
Thrift and life insurance go hand In bund,
and It beconns ever; man's first fluty to
those he loveu and who are dependent upon
him for their care und maintenance to lift
the burden that ma; be caused by the dan
ger of untimel; death and ut the iiumc time
to free his own mind from anxiety that those
dear to him may be subjected to future want.
"Life insurance is a great co-operative
system bv w hlch the polie; - holders insure each
other, tile string taking care of tho weal:.
In becoming a member of this humane co
operative organization cadi individual Is iu
realitv purchasing the best security that the
business of our nation offers and Is given the
privilege of pa.ving tor such sicurit.v on an
Installment basis, but with the proviso that
should death intervene the insurance companv
will cancel all unpaid installments on the
purchase and deliver to his family or to the
bt:r.iii'".s "f the insured tin par value of tho
security purchased. , , , ...
"Viev.lng it from thi- angle, we readily
see how legal n serve life insurance telntes
itself to American business in the closest
possible wa. Indeed, it goes down to the
very bottom of the nation's resources find
amplifies in tne most constrin live way u.e
fundamental principles of conservation and
thrift. Sodetj is iomposi.1 of family uuifs,
the wholesome development of which, includ
ing rinani in! independence, is always of
vital importance. So long as the family la
able to sustain itsdf s a positive, nggres
tdve, solvent sodnl Institution it mny be re
garded as nn aesot ; otherwise it becomes
merely a liabllit .
A Svstematlc Havings Account
"Life insurance offers to the bread-vdnnfr
of this soclul unit nn opportunity of building
u s.vstematic savings account for emergency
cash and for bin own or hh life partner's
old age. It also provides a system of life
value indemnity whereby th" fainil.v's capital,
lost through the husband's death, will be ie
covered bv hii insurance. Tills enables the
Mriul unit to function nnd to retain its
identity as (in Independent institution fon
terlug the very highest ideals of American
citizenship producing th" maximum results
alike in the building of character and the
doing of the world's work.
"Legal reset ve life insurance makes uvnll
tible immediate funds with which to 1 over
family needs, educate children, pay dibts,
support credit, protect busdneis, provide for
bequests. iiilHfltiince taxes and many other
rieeds. Every solvnt social institution Is
therefore the illreol or fnillrect benUlolury
of every life insurance policy issued.
"Life Insurance is the grent constructive
social service that takes up the slnd: n th"
onward march of life, developing bigger und
better men nnd women for life's vvoilt. The
success of our nation depends upon the
success of Its citizens. The succors of the
fltl.en depends largely upon the family unit
being thoroughly grounded and established
upon n sound financial IiiihIs.
"It must be Impervious to the negative,
intemperate and destructive factors of so
ciety 1 otherwise.' like the mushroom, It soon
withers and drcnys. The attainment of this
much -coveted goal Involves above all cIko the
development of the family unit nlong those
constructive liics of svKtematle and loiupul
sorv suvlng In order thnt It muy maintain
uu iudeneudvUt poulticm us one of the effi-

"Legal reserve life Insiiriiiiei. oft'eru
the
opportunity for every family in the nation
to estnniisti itself on such n bnsls. as it not
only provides for 11 systematic plan of savltig.
but It also guurantcin the continuation of
the family capital by conserving the life
value of the head of the family. The real
value of this pmcess cannot be measured
alone in dollars and cents. Commercially,
however, the growth and leadership of our
'"'intry will depend very largely upon our
ability to conserve und properly use the life
'.nines of our citizens.
"Life Insurance is of special value to mod
ern business, nnd adequate use of it bv ull
our citizens will go far in helping to advance
the commercial interests of our nation. In
weighing the conditions now existing na
tionally and internationally undoubtedly
thoj-e was never n period In the whole his
tory of the world when a productive life was
moie valuable than now.
"Just a final word about those engaged in
the business of life insurance selling. Ther
are more than 100,000 high-class men nnd
women actively working in behalf of legal
reserve life insurance service rot only on
National Life Insurance Day, but ever; day
of the year thereby carrying the gospel of
thrift to every nook and corner of our rreat
commonwealth. These workers are helping
to educate men and women of the land In the

we were created and for which we exist."
Once on a time the spring awakened
thoughts of crops; of little flowers a -peeping
out from shady nooks nt lovers blithely
strolling; of buds u-bursting on the bare,
brown limbs of trees awakening after win
ter s slumber ; of warbling birds, the free
verse poets of the wildwood ; and human
songsteis tuned their l.vres with Spring's own
tuning for!:, the invvnrd urg to sie, to glorify
imd to love all that Is good and sweet und
pure ir nature. Hut Spring (If one mnv
junge Horn what one rends) has been fori
some time past 11 wnndercr from old familiar
paths; no longer herald of the summer's
opulence who blew glad notes upon u horn
of plenty she blovvH u brassy bugle, drat her!
and sounds n call to nrms. Last veur it
Polish drive; the year before the Reds and
Ilela lvun ; and ;oars before nnd juns before
the menace of the Hun. Ay, Spring, the
sweet, the beautiful, has been perverted,
diverted from her peaceful wajs. and now
adays whene'er she sweeps the snow uwuv
'tis but to dlj 11 trench. A murrain on the
fickle jade! So long has she pltrved her
hellish tricks we did not need the hews of
Reds upon the borders of Rumania to find
in her a spring offensive.
