Mir 39. 1921 THE NEW FOURTH THE drastic ban against fireworks nnd the sale nnd usu of llrcnrms in Philadelphia imposes upon its citizens the obligation of adopting sensible nnd nttrnctiro substitutes for the foolish, dangerous and antiquated methods of celebrating the national holiday. Contrary to nn impression which some- times seems to prevail lu this country, public security docs not necessarily mean gloom nnd absence of festal charm. There is nn infinite vnriety of delightful ways in which tho Fourth may be fittingly and rationnlly observed. With the death-dealing toys of old taboo, a test of the inventiveness nnd fertility of popular imagination will bo at hand. And while we are accustoming ourselves to the new order, it is gratifying to note that the councllmanic ordinance, passed with such an overwhelming vote, sanctions the display of pyrotechnics by the municipality. Prop erly regulated and under due safeguards, city fireworks could be made an effective feature of the Independence Day celebration. THE DELAWARE DEAL OFF FORTUNATELY for the State of Dela ware and fortunately for the country, tho wild and utterly reckless scheme formulated in Delaware for the open barter of a seat In tho United States Senate has collapsed. There nre limits beyond which even the men who play the loosest sort of politics can not go. Senator Wolcott, a Democrat, received from Governor Donnoy, a Republican, the proffer of nn nppointment as Chancellor of Delaware, and Wolcott was apparently in a mood to see the deal through. His ap pointment, of course, would have removed htm from the Senate, and tho Governor then would have had authority to nnme his suc cessor. General T. Coleman du Pont, whose protege Governor Denney 1b, is the man who seemed slated to take Woleott's scat. Delawnre, or at least the northern nrcas of it, lives happily and prosperously in a state of partial feudalism. It is glad to give its allegiance to tho bis business men who have made it rich. Hut there nre things that it will not stomach, and the Wolcott-Donney deal was one of them. The outburst of resentment nud genuine anger that finally cowed Wolcott and his would-be benefactor was unexpected. The carry thing about it nil is that the Senator had to leave himself open to scorn nnd suspicion before he wriggled out of the complication in his letter of yesterday. The political institutions of the United States cannot forever withstand the reck less use thnt short-sighted, unprincipled or ambitious men continue to mnke of them. The cynicism created in the common mind of the country by open jobbery nmong those in high places Is a dangerous force. Some people despair. Others strike bnek. Doln ware in this instance struck buck, and its affairs will be better administered and its conscience will be cleaner ns n result. AN INSPIRATION FOR THE FAIR THE Sesqul-ccntennial Committee is sched uled to hold nn importnnt meeting on June 3. On June 0 the Bridge Commission will receive n comprehensive report from delegated exports. It is rather regrettable thnt these dntes are not reversed, thnt the fair plnnncrs might derive inspiration from the span au thorities. Although definite information concerning the findings of the engineering, financinl nnd traffic experts is lacking, the cheerful rumor is abroad thnt the Delaware span will be less costly than was originally expected, and hopes of finishing the structure by 1020 may be reasonably entertained. Confirma tion of these reports would menu that the exposition planners must inaugurate nnd mnlntaln n lively paco to keep up with the bridge work. The Interstate structure, according to present indications, is to be mngnificent and epoch-making, but still nn auxiliary feature of the genernl celebration. The fair pro moters cannot afford the risk of having the tail wag the dog. Thus far only extremely modest appro priations have been made for the scsqui centennini, nnd the conception hns hardly passed out of the nebulous stage. The necessity for buckling down to business on constructive, practical lines Is obvious. It is well to note thnt If the completion of the bridgn will probably be purt of the anni versary festivities there inuft be a whole. There is n chance for healthy nnd stimu lating rivalry in the progress of the two great public undertakings. IRELAND AND MINGO THERE were few readers of American newspapers who did not feel that the tragedv of Ireland hud moved n little closer to them nnd into u soinewhnt clearer light with the stiockin: news thnt cum" from Dublin this week. The destruction of one of the most beautiful buildings li, nl the liritish Isles ami the coullict nnd the killing that attended it will he called wnnton nnd blind, nut it Is above ail pitiful. In n case nf this sort nny Just man cannot but feel thnt both parties In the Irish con flict hnve been pushed too far by stress and hardship and passion nnd misunderstanding and bitter memories to renson clearly or to bo otherwise than frantically cruel to each other. To nny one who knows and understands the fine tempermncnt of the Irish people and tho work thnt Knglaud lias done niul Is doing In. the ettiis-e of progressive democracy, much thnt in written an news from nnd about the Ireland of today seems to leave much un told, The, whole wretched nnd tragic busl ucs ( nn inevitable outcome of n world of ftncltut error, Any day you can find Amerlcnns with ono 8t pt opinions or another who know Just ivhni ought tf to done 'Whnt the liritish Government nhould do, whnt tho lenders of flto IrMi insurgents should do Unfortunately for'thetiHatcur statesmen, too newspaper iJV 'K.'oi.'.filiii,,: vMi.,. jwAijiAAeLjiJli . Sti if'lliLi which told of the burning of tho Dublin Custom House carried parallel dispatches from nearer home tinder headlines, quite ns disturbing ns thoso which topped tho news from Ireland. Ono set of headlines said: "War In West Virginia Renewed Two Troopers Killed." VITAL TO MILL WORKERS, BUT THEY DON'T KNOW IT Until the Financial Issues of the War Are Settled Unemployment Will Con tinue Here and Elsewhere IT WOULD be n mistake for nny one to nsstimc that only the financiers are in terested In the questions discussed by Presi dent Hording nnd n group of New York nnd Pittsburgh bankers in Washington this week. Every unemployed textile worker, every man engaged in the building trades, every working man nnd woman, whatever his or her occupation, nnd every farmer will bo affected by the wisdom of the decisions reached. This is because the prosperity of the United States Is dependent in a large meas ure on the prosperity of tho rest of the world. Men nre idlo hero todny because the Ger man reparations question has not been finally settled, lluslncss In all parts of the world is waiting until it is known definitely just how Germany is to pay nnd just how much she is to turn over to tho allied na tions. When thnt is known the world will know on what it can depend for the next few years; France and Great Rritaln can go ahead with their taxation plans, nnd busi ness. Informed on whnt burdens will bo in flicted on it, cnu ndjust itself to definite conditions. Then the slow process of re covery from the effects of the war can begin, because the uncertainty will have been re moved. But Europe cannot buy on the old scale this year because she has not the money. Mr. Burleson, former Poetranstcr General, who has been in Berlin in the interest of the cotton growers of the South, has reported that Germany enn buy only about 25 per cent of her normal purchases of cotton be cause, on account of tho impoverished stato of Europe, she can find a market for only about 25 per cent of her normal amount of cotton manufactures. France and Great Britain and Belgium and Italy are finding themselves confronted by the same condi tions. The consuming power of the world must bo restored before the producing power con be rehabilitated. Now, the conference of the bankers with the President was over the best way for the United States to assist itself by assisting Europe. The '"resident. Secretary Mellon nnd Secretary noovcr have let it be known that they are opposed to the floating of nny foreign loans in the United States the pro ceeds of which are not spent in the United States. The bankers nre opposed to nny such restriction on the use of the money which they may lend abrond. They insist that the United Stntes will be benefited in the long run just as much by money apent nbroad as by money spent here. The proceeds of two recent loans, one to Denmark and one to Belgium, have been spent in other countries. The Belgians bought foodstuffs In Argentine, where they could get them more cheaply than in the United States, and the Danes bought loco motives in Germany nt n lower price thnn they could get them hero. With Amerlcnn money, mind you ! Tho farmers nre particularly grieved by the purchase of foodstuffs in Argentina. The Administration does not wish to offend the farmers. Its mind is on the political as well as on the economic effect of its finnncinl policy. The mind of the bankers is only on the economic effect. They insist that eco nomically it Is the wisest possible course to co-operate to the extent of our ability in re storing the producing power not only of the allied countries, but of Germany. Unless Germany can begin to produce on n large sinle she will not be able to pay the repara tion bonds that she is to issue, and the nations to which she is to make reparation are selfishly interested in the opening of her factories and in the profitable sale of their products. nowever wide tho disagreement may be over the use to which the proceeds of for eign loans nre to be put. there is likely to be general consent that tho bankers of this country must not provide money for the budget necessities of the foreign Govern ments. American gold must not be used to pay for foreign armaments. Governmental economies must be practiced and the taxation systems revised in such a way as to enable the Governments to pay their own way. John Hays Hammond, speaking in this city yesterday before the American Cotton Manufacturers' Association, expressed the view of the President rather than that of the bankers, no recognizes as clearly as the bankers that the settlement of the claims against Germany must precede the resump tion of industrial activity, but he insists that he money borrowed hore must be spent here, and that it must be spent for whnt he calls "industrial reconstruction" and not for building n merchant marine to compete with our own nnd not for military purposes of any kind, and not in n way to enable our foreign competitors to intrench themselves in markets to which we are seeking access, and not to enable our rivals to obtain a monopoly of raw materials It is reassuring to know that the Presi dent is seoking advice from the .financial experts of the nation. The question before him is of such gravity that he seems to desire all tho light he can get before he makes n finnl decision. He nnd his Cabinet do not disagree with the bankers on the ends to be sought. What disagreement there is nrises over the best means to nrcorapllsh those ends. Until they nre accomplished the re-employment of the idle workers in this city nnd elsewhere will not proceed very fast. STATE MONEY FOR SCHOOLS DU. FINEGAN'S announcement nt tho dinner to Dr. Broome thnt the proper educatlonul policy for this Commonwealth cannot bo carried out unless the State itself pays one-half of the school bills of each community is based on the nssuruption thnt public cdurntlon Is n mntter of interest to the whole State. He is right. Philadelphia Is interested in tho kind of education the children receive in the rural districts, for its population is partly re cruited from those districts. A half -educated boy coming hero from the country is not no good a citizen as a boy who has had first-clnss instruction. He cannot become so productive. He is in danger of adding to the vicious population of the city nnd in creasing the burden of the police THE SQUARE DEAL IS WINNING THE fire-eaters seem to be subsiding. M, Brland's substantial victory in the Cham ber of Deputies is n ploln rebuke to the militarists who elumored for a policy townrd Germany which would have embraced inva sion of the Ruhr and persistent refusal to accept her word at face value. Berlin jingoes nre likewise in retirement. Today is payday, and the German Govern ment hns announced that It will turn over to the Allies on this date n sum equivalent to $200,000,000. This, with tho addition of 150,000,000 gold marks delivered last week, completes the total of 1,000.000,000 gold marks which Germany wns obligated to pay beforo the end of this May, t GKnernl LudendoriF crhos the nrinclnles apparently cilmafo) tho Wrth Oovcrnment M . , ,.

It ia the best remedy. Work nt home is our first need. Work abroad is of sec ondary importance." The Lloyd Georgo-Briand tiff has blown over. There nre grounds for hope that the Supreme Council will settle down to definite action In the Silcsian nffnlr. Hint nil the various and complex humnn fnctors involved in the European situation have suddenly grown nngelic is a fantastic explanation of all this progress. The chnngc mny be more rntionnlly nttrlbuted to a wave of realization. Apart from its ethical sig nificance, it is n fact that good faith and square dealing pay. There nre times when it nffords the only wny out of n crisis. The idealists have undoubtedly meant well, but their publicity methods havo helped to spread the delusion that decency nnd lienor operate to the detriment of selfish interests. Super ficlnlly, this may appear to be the case; fundamentally, never. THE FARMERS' BLOC CORRESPONDENT'S in Washington who predict far-reaching political changes ns n result of the powerful movement for con trol of Congress by the farmers of the coun try nre not merely exercising their power of imagination. In tho West Middle, Far nnd North the work of orgnnizing tho fnrmers into clnss-consclous groups has pro ceeded relentlessly for years. "Look," said propagandists of' n huge farmers' union to the people of agricultural communities, "nt industrial labor nnd at capital and learn. You cannot get anything nowadays unless you organize for it." Tho farmers organized. They adopted a gospel that is, to a large extent, socialistic. But theirs is not the socialism which presumes to be universally friendly nnd fair to nil sorts of people. It is socialism of and for the people who till tho soil nnd live far from the centers of industrial activity. It is suspicious of the banking system, of busi ness, of industrial labor unions and of the general system of creative industry. The farmers would not admit this, but it is none the less true. The farmers' bloc, which represents a pretty frank attempt for a farmers' monopoly of the congressional mind, becomes possible when the Demo cratic agricultural groups of tho South merged with tho farm organizations of tho West nnd North. Smith, Fletcher, Watson. Harris, Harri son, Ilcflln, Caraway and Shcppard nre Democratic Senators who of late have been seemingly ready to act with Republicans in n non-partisan group representative of what is being called the new Agrarian Party. How strong the farmer influence has be come in Washington ono mny ensily judge by remembering whnt happened to the national daylight-saving bill. It was supposed only n few months ago that the defeat of the daylight law was a culminating triumph for tho farmers' organizations. Now it ap pears to have been nothing more than nn initial achievement indicative of n far more sweeping program. The farmers want Government subsidies in the form of fixed prices for grain nnd the like. They wnnt tho Government to regu late the packing industry from the grazing fields to the retnll mnrkets. They wnnt most middlemen removed nnd they will probably ask for Government regulation of groin storage and distribution. They ap pear to have formulnted their program without any regard for people who do not live and labor on forms. Of industry nnd the science of business nnd export trnde and finance and shipping nnd the more compli cated nrts of civilization they know, or pre tend to know, little. They, as the saying goes, "want theirs." And if Congress has no more courage in the futuro than it had when it killed the daylight-saving bill, they will get it. THE BRITISH FEDERATION THE metamorphosis of British colonies into States somewhat nnnlogous to those of the American Union' is one of the many momentous implications of the Im perial Conference to be called shortly in London. The summons also emphasizes an clement of contrast and sheds a most in formative light upon tho political processes of the huge nnd heteroseneous renlm ac knowledging the Union .Tnck. True federalism, such us now exists in this Republic, is a structure reared upon evolutionary factors, but also upon the spe cific grappling with a formidable subject, peacefully when the Constitution wns framed and on the battlefield in the Civil War. It is far less ensy to trace tho definite steps in the consolidation of Britain's far flung empire. The political thought and notions involved nre peculiarly native. The so-cnlled British Constitution is potent, yet indefinable. More brilliantly, but neverthe less like Topsy, it just grew. The reconstruction nnd amalgamation of the empire has been similarly unsystematic, almost, In a sense, hnphazard. Not politi cal wisdom in London alone, but more pow erfully tho rise of nntional consciousness in English settlements abroad has produced these Impressive changes. The first convocation of officiul representa tives of tho principal British possessions with leaders of the home Government was classified as n "colonlnl" conference. "Im perial" is now tho word, and there is n world of difference in the epithet. Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the Union of South Africa, whilo intensely loynl to the (lag, feel little hesitation in asserting their parity with the original seat of the empire nnd nt the snme time their mutual respon sibilities. It is fascinating to comparo and relate these sentiments with those entertained by Massachusetts. Virginia, Pennsylvania nnd New York when the United States was formed. Likewise, it is possible to assert that this Republic attacked with commend able speed problems which are tardily np pearlng within tho British empire for adjustment. Allownnces must be made for a great dis similarity of other fundamental conditions, and most of all for the British temperament. What is important to note now is that the federative iden, Involving duo self-determination in various parts of tho empire, was never so dominant ns todny. This is not imperialism in tho invidious sense, but n frnnk nnd manly nppreclntlon of the world development of democracy triumphing in spite of wars, marplots, tories and the blunders of small-minded poli ticians.

McKINLEY, of Champaign, 111., long n member ot tho House of Representatives, hns nn enviable reputation gained by the consideration he habitually shows for otl;cr people, n con sideration which this story will show Is even extended to the dumb crentures that play the part of lesser satellites of man. Tnmbo was n small and woolly dog be longing to a nleco ,of Senator McKlnley. Tambo's tastes ran to Ice cream arid his instinct was marvelous In smelling out church socials, nt which he was Invnrtnbly n good customer. One midsummer night Mr. McKlnley gave his niece a five-dollnr bill nnd sent her nnd Tnmbo to n soclnl where they quite surfeited themselves. It wns hard to keep tho dog hnppy, however, nnd tho next day It lay panting and miserable beneath the states mnn's desk. Presently a long-distance cnll nnd two telegrams having nccumulnted, tho staff be gan a search for Mr. McKlnley. About the same time the dog Tnmbo wns nlso missed. After much hunting n "long shot" from the back window into tho nllty revealed tho two. Mr. McKinlcy wns sitting on a trash box nnd Tnmbo wns between his knees. In his hnnd wns nn Inordinately long pair of office shears nnd he wns giving Tnmbo a hnircut to relieve his suffering from the bent, nnd not a certain romance of n mis sionary worked out ns it did down In Georgia seventy years ago Miss Alice Rob ertson would not have been the lono woman seated nmong her peers in tho House of Representatives todny. Her father wns sent from New York stnte to minister to the Cherokee Indlnnn. The good church people who sent him kept In ns close touch ns they could nnd sought in many wnys to make up to him for the pri vations that were his. Among other things they come to the con clusion, influenced by Scripture, that It was not well thnt mnn should live alone. They would fend him n helpmate. They would select from the flock on ardent spirit who would go into tho wilderness nnd marry him. They did select her nnd start her on her wny. But the missionary felt the spirit of revolt that has dwelled in the breasts of men and women for whom marriages hnve been arranged since time began. And, bo side, there was in the scenario a young woman missionary whom he had met under conditions whero eye flashed back to oyo those subtle messages that wed soul to soul ns God Intended they should be united. So. two days before the arrival of the mntrlmonlnl candldntc. there was a hurried wedding, and thus .was upset n plan of mating falsely based on other considerations than the desires of the two principals to it. And so were united the parents of the congrcsswomnn from Oklahomn. Major General Wendell C. Neville, of the marlno corps, has done much handy fighting arid suffered many strange experiences, ns is the wny with "devil dogs." He wns brcvetted for conspicuous service nt Santi ago bay In the Spanish-American War; nwnrded the Congresslonnl Mednl for dis tinguished conduct nt Vera Cruz; nnd given the Distinguished Service Medal and mnny foreign honors for the sort of things he did in the world war. But he also met his humiliations. There was the matter of the overcont In the Mcuso Argonne fight, for instance. It was a splendid overcont bought out of his own pny nnd it wns brand new. It had n lot of mud on It. but that would havo scraped off when it got dry. He Iind floundered nround in the mud for two days nnd wns so dead tired that he put his head on n bnle of hay. pulled his new overcoat up over htm, nnd went to sleep. It was probably some doughboy of the army who thought that it would be n good joke to steal the stars off the shoulders of n marine corps general. And so he did. A day later the outfit was further along toward Germany, was muddler, tlredcr. The genernl hung his overcont sons stars on n limb nnd stnrted pounding his enr ngain. Along come a soldier and spied this fancy overcoat with nothing on the shoulders nnd tho unusunl stripes of the marine corps on the sleeves. He thought it was n German coat. So he took out his poeketknife and cut the sleeves off above the elbows that he might send them home ns souvenirs. This finished the coat. Marine corps officers are celebrated for their gallantry to tho Indies, nnd Gen eral Wendell C. Neville Is the most punc tilious of them all. Imagine his embnrrassment, then, when on the inarch to the Rhine during tho recent unpleasantness he was forced to say "no" to the importunities of a grand duchess far-famed for her beauty and graces. It happened In Luxembourg. When tho young grand duchess who rules thnt small principality found that an American gen ernl wns leading Ills forces through her country she Nought to extend hospitality. She sent on invitation to General Neville to rest nnd refresh himself at her palace. The general was forced to decline. Or ders hod been issued from G. II. Q. to the effect thnt no hospitality wns to be ac cepted. Tho grand duchess was Insistent. The situation was explained. She wired to general headquarters; she wired to Paris. She just must entertain the Amerlcnn gen eral. And so stern nnd Impersonal are ordcrd when troops are on the march that even the fair ruler of n principality pleaded In vain and the general slept that night under a dog tent in his blankets. Senator Chnrlcs Curtis uas a jockey and was riding a race at the fair grounds nt Kansas City when, nftcr the crowd was all in nnd the money wns collected, tho James brothers, notorious outlaws of their time, rode up to tho box office, relieved it of the cash and rode away. This was but a chapter out of tho early life of this boit of tho West, himself one eighth Indian, descendant of a line of French voyugcurs. In thoso dnys tho cattle trails that led from Texas north, trails that must be trav eled by all animals bound for market, were avenues of ndventuro nnd romance. The horse wns king nnd Charlie Curtis was usually up when n rnco wns run. For seven years he followed the fairs of Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri and Indian Territory, and it is not recorded ho missed a single mount from being buried in n study of par liamentary law or other fundamental studies of the statesman. It will be remembered that during the carlv stages of tho war Henry Cabot Lodge, dignified and classic as ho Is, got Into n controversy with a pacifist who called names and smashed that gentleman on the nose. Tho rosult was nn outpouring of con gratulation from all points of the compass, Innumerable letters of commendntlon, one of which wns from Theodore- Roosevelt. It came to be sold of Lodge thut lie was the mau who put "fist" in "pacifist." Twenty years of enrnest and thoughtful service, the senator said, had not brought forth tho amount of commendation that re sulted from this one moment of rashness. Fearless Colorado Students From tha Kansas City Mar.

This source of infection eliminated, humanity would be far along the road to conquering the white plague, according to Dr. Rnndle Rosenberger, in chnrgc of the deportment of bacteriology nnd hygiene nt Jefferson Modicnl College, "Not only nre steers nnd cows heavily preyed upon," says Dr. Rosenberger, "but swine nnd sheep ns well. This does not mean that tho meat is unfit for use. Well developed pulmonary tuberculosis may exist and the meat still be fit for consumption, but in the cow there will be infection through the milk. "Pasteurization is whnt is preventing this condition from doing its old-time damage. Whereas operations, especially among chil dren, for glandular tuberculosis were nlmost dully occurrences formerly, now they occur monthly. The pasteurizing of the milk does not, ns often believed, reduce Its nutriment nor kill tho vitamines. It does destroy hnrm ful bacteria, some coining from the 'cow nnd mnny from stable conditions, which ore never perfect except in the very best dairies.
