PRECEDENT FOR THE DAIL r' IS quite conceivable that had the de bates in the Constitutional Convention of 178C been linniedinteh made public the im pression would lime pru-alled that the most eminent American statesmen the very cream of them, in fact were incapable of forming a nation.

DOWN CO THE SUBMARINES; UP COMES SOMETHING WORSE Reet's Move Against Poison Gas Yester day Was Directed at a Whole New System of Scientific Atrocities IT HAS been pretty clearly demonstrated under actual battle conditions, niul by extensive experiments carried en since the close of the war, that (submarines cannot survive or exert nnj considerable offensive power against ether fighting ships. All vessels of the dreadnought, cruiser and de stroyer tjpes are new fitted with devices which make their navigators aware of the approach of a U-beat even before the under water piewlcr is within torpedo range. Moreover, they have novel, terrible and cer tain means of dealing finally with the furtive enemy. The submarine that attempted te take nn aggressive part In a tussle of efficiently han dled warships would hae te be manned by n suicide club. Hy formally agreeing te view submarine attacks en merchantmen as acts of piracy, the five Powers have closed the one field of activity in which these essels might be ex pected te work future damage or confusion. They have gene far te make V-bouts obso lete, if the Conference for the Limitation of Armament had done nothing else, it would deserxe Infinite credit for the example pro vided by this one act. The moral effect of the Flve-1'ewcr deci sion will be cen greater than the Imme diate practical value of the new rule of warfare. Fer the thinking which led te the ban tm submarine atrocities must continue inevitably until it leads te a cede which ivlll forbid the newer atrocities of air and chemical warfare. The submarine was never a fair weapon. It was the stiletto In the dark, the poison in the cup, medicwtlism nnd savagery trans lated Inte terms of scientific action. And jet it was, even at its worst, no mere unfair, no mere te be detested, than some of the newer weapons which have been de vised for future use In the air, i The whole question of chemicals ami air planes in war lemalns virtually untouched. Vet the drift of aviation science under the direction of military experts in all countries tends steadily te bring the non-combatant populations of coast cities into the zones of sudden attack and destruction which n new war of nations would Instantly create. Yeu have only te listen for fhc minutes te any well-informed ninal officer te realize that the horrors of the I.usltaniu may be elaborated enormously at some future day when n city fill of people, rather than one ship's company, nre made the victims of enemy raiders striking without warning. Commander Wright, of the United States Xavj, appealing te the Citv of New Yerk for a grant of land te be used by the navy as an air station, said that with devices already perfected it would he possible for a naval fleet te stand a hundred miles out nt sea and. by the use of radio-controlled aerial torpedoes, force the evacuation of New Yeik City In twentj-fenr hours of bombardment with mustard anil phosgene gases. It wituld be mint hi r and nn even mere unpleasant strj , of course, if the airplanes dropped into the city streets carried high explosives rather than gas. l'ery (invernment is new working toward the further perfection of the mechanism of which Commander Wright spoke a mechan ism bv which it Is new possible te steer and otherwise control fljlng airplanes from the ground or from distant bases. It Is net surprising that I'lihil Heet, speaking for the American delegation niul America nt lare in the Conference for the Limitation of Armament, jesterdny pro posed again thnt the ban put upon sub marines be extended te cover all sorts of poison gas. Mr. Heet and his colleagues are seemingly determined te bring the whole question of aerial warfare te the front and te give the matter of poison gas a complete airing he fore the Conference Is adjourned Indeed, It may be supposed that the sulmini Ine de bate, which lias just been brought te n successful conclusion, was little mere than a preliininarj te this larger and mere pain ful question. Fer unregulated elr warfare could easily be mere terrible and mere cruel than the submarine ever was. A MAD MISCONCEPTION THV. uutnernc) of formulae is charnc terlstienllv revealed in the comment re ported from Moscow upon the congressional appropriation of ?20,000.0('0 for fuiiiine relief in Itussln. Soviet newspapers nre quoted n asserting that American motives in voting the money were political and economic rather than humanitarian, and discern in the assistance preliminaries te l guiden of the Com munist regime. Senators Ilerah and France are mentioned as powerful aids te the adop tion of such n course. Seme obsessions nte uiuembatable. as, The present Itii.-siun I invernment un questionably placed its finger upon the mainspring of innumerable actions in the bourgeois world, which It detests, by empha sizing the potency of economic and com mercial ambitions. It can be proved, for instance, thnt economic factors were promi nent in nil wars since Persia first assaulted (Jreece. .Materialistic interests must also by celisldeieil in times of pence. Hut hu man motives, infinitely varied as they are. tannet be accommodated within the rigid centini's of two or three sjlleglsms, how ever catchy. The imputation that American ministra tions te Hussla in her misery nre of com mercial inspiration is a base libel. If the element of human sjmpathy cannot be found in Karl Marx and even that conception is questionable it can without boasting be said te exist in man) ether quarters. Amer ican generesitv was sincere nnd heartfelt, inextinguishable even by the harsh dialec tics of Moscow .

Jt is urged that legislation be passed toin tein pelllng the curr.vlng of W I"T cent of immi grants by ships under our Hag, that the navigation law- be revised, that all Ship ping Heard cinft be Immediately sold, that a $100,0011 (Mill fund be established, that In terne tax burdens be )eineved, that the dan gerous preferential rate prevision of the .Jenes net be enforced, that fast passenger ships le given a special postal subvention and that a pcr-ten subside plan be adopted. This is a large order or rather plethora of requests I'liqiicHtinnnhle ""ue It'llef H-he for shipping nnd' r our flag i ex tremely desirable from the standpoint of public iliteiest. The subsidy principle w said te enjoy the favor of the Admlnlstra- - - - tlen. Despite plaints from the agricultural districts, it remains a sensible and intelli gent plan of encouraging commerce in American hulls. Hut the kind of coddling that Is proposed savers of extravagance nnd the taste for special privilege. There are reasonable limits' even te the nursing of the new oppor tunities for the growth anil preservation of the new American merchant fleet. it is net Improbable that Mr. Haymentl nnd his constituents, following a vcncrnblc political custom, have asked for a deal mere than tliey have any expectation of obtaining. HARDIN.G AND THE BLOCS A COLLISION between President Harding and the lenders of the farmers' bloc was inevitable and It has come, and the reverberations of the impact have been felt nil through Congress. The farmers' bloc is the biggest bloc in the Senate, the most powerful nnd selfcon selfcen fldeiit and swaggering aggregation of special pleaders that ever was formed by men elected te public office. The President has nevertheless delicti the bloc, and for thnt he deserves admiration and endless crutllt. When Senater Capper nnd Scnnter Ken Ken yen visited the White Heuse yesterday as repiesentntlves of the farmers group te discuss their purpose te compel the appoint ment of one representative of agriculture te the Federal Heserve Heard they were in formed, according te the general report, that nny bill carrying that proviso would be vetoed. The President made It plain te the bloc's spokesmen that he would net conscientiously sanction any law Intended te fix class dis tinctions in legislation. He summed the whole matter up beautifully in half n dozen words. Fer. If we arc te have such distinc tions ns Senater Capper talks about, the Federal Heserve Heard wouldn't be half large enough te accommodate the groups which would have a legal and moral right te demand representation in Its member ship. HegfTining with the farmers and bankers anil manufacturers we might go nleng com cem com fertably enough. Hut when it came te find ing plates for doctors, lawyers, veteri narians, eje, ear, nose and threat special ists, bee keepers and barbers we should have te increase the Federal Heserve Heard membership te about 10,000. The farmers wnnt te boss the country. They nre passing through a mood which sometimes ntllicts capital nnd labor alike. Hut they will set ever it. We nil de, sooner or later.

HARD TIMES AT THE MINT LKAN times at the Mint may furnish feed for the satirist, but the hlghl.v special ized emple.ves of that institution nre tlecltl cdlv less fortunate.

Heprescntntive Harrow is wil justified in his effort te find n wav out of u trying anil distressing situation. The order for n pnr tial shutdown came suddenly ami is ntecribed te the slim state of the present appropria tion fund. Mr. Harrow is seeking either direct con gressional relief or a diversion through n Treasury Department bookkeeping shift that will permit of the full payment of the Mint emplejes during the six months of retrench ment. The case warrants vigorous action. It would seem that the richest of Governments in the most opulent of republics should be equal te keeping its coinage factory run-' ning briskly.

Se walled a Democratic frientl'whllc ao ae ao knewiedgitig almost profanely that the glory of his party had well nigh disappeared In Pennsylvania nntl totally in Philadelphia. His mention of Lewis C.

Te the elder ones he is the one luminary outside the Governer himself who brightened the pathway of Democracy during Hubert B. Pattlsen's first term. On Cassldy, the Attorney General, Pat Pat tleon, the Governer, lenncd heavily. T BW" CASSIDY was net only n great -' politician, but he was a great crimi nal lawyer. He was the central figure in one of the closest political fights ever waged In this city. It was way Tiack in 18.10, two years after the consolidation of the city, when he was selected as Democratic nominee for District Attorney. The Hepubllcnns named William H. Mann ns his opponent. The Democratic Party in Philadelphia was uien at tne zenith of Its power ami in ilueiice. It had net become a thing of shreds and patches te be trailed for in the market place. lew men living today recall that memor able struggle in which- evX-ry resource of both contestants was called into play. Colonel Mann was declared defeated, but he instantly began a contest. Ihe hearings were carried en for about a eear, nnd at their close Judge Oswald lhompsen declared Colonel Mann elected by seventeen votes. Six years later, in 1S02, Cassldy again contested for the place with Colonel Mann. He sought both vindication and revenge, i ut again he was defeated, and very de cislvely. ROHBHT E. PATTISON was a law stu dent in Cassltly's office. It was there that he drank deeply from Democratic sources. It was through Cnssldy's efforts that Pnt Pnt tisen was elected Governer.

On several occasions he flouted the opinion of some of the leading Democratic lawyers of the Stute. TVU'ID II. LANE has geed cause te rc j member Lewis C. Cassldy. It was under ( nssidy s direction that Lane was removed from the office of Hecertler of Deeds in this city during Paulsen's administration. The cusc involved the question of the right of a Governer te remove nt his pleasure, without the concurrence of the State Sen ate. Hccerders of Deeds of cities of the first class. It was a very delicate question of law. The late Justice Jehn Stewnrt, of the Su preme Court, former State Senater nnd then President Judge of the Franklin district, oppesetl the idea. Fermer United States Scnnter William A. nllace nntl Senater J. K. P. Hall, of Blk County, nnd. If I nm net mistaken, the erudite nml nhle Simen P. Wolverton. were of the opinion thut the Governer could net exercise this power under the Constitution without the concurrence of the Sennlc. Cassldy. as Attorney General, advised the removal of Lane, and he was sustained by Common Pleas Court Ne. 3 of Philadelphia. Subsequently the .Supreme Court sus tained this In the opinion given by the Chief Justice himself. TT WAS through the efforts of this great -L Democrat and able lawyer that some of the most Important laws were passed for the protection of the ballet-box. One of the gravest questions which he de termined during his term ns Attorney Gen eral was the adjudication that the' net of Assembly te prevent bribery nnd fraud in election was net only u lawful exercise of legislative power, but wns nlse nn election law within the mrnnlng of the Constitution. It wns under this decision thnt Cassidy removed one of the County Commissioners of Schuylkill named Jehn Leannrd for sc- iiiijiiK ins nomination through corruption.

I recnll the ease dlstliictlv because I ac companied the Appropriation Committee en its tour of Western IVunsjIvania at the time.

Daily Talks With Thinking Philadelphians en Subjects They Knew Best CHARLES SCOTT, Jr. Talks of Health Education of the Ameri can Public THE necessity for the education of the American public In the metter of health is ene of the most Impertnnt questions of the tiny, according te Chnrles Scott, Jr., vice chairman of the Central Notional Com mittee of the American Red Cress nnd for mer manager of the Pennsylvania -Delaware division of that organization from the time of Its formntlen until its nctlvltles were merged with these of the Atlantic division. "One of the grcnte"Vt needs of American civilization today," said Mr. Scott, "is the enlightenment and the education of the people, net only In matter of health, but in showing them hew te help themselves. Mnterinl relief Is. after all, only nn emer gency measure, provided te tide tin unfor tunate ever some crisis, nntl it cannot be made permanent without making the re cipient the object of charity ami creating a mere or less intolerable situation both for him nnd for the giver. The Results of Ignorance "It is undoubtedly true that a large per centile of the illness, poverty nnd wnnt which nflllct a certain pin tlen of the Ameri can people is due te ignorance, which, once overcome, will eliminate much of this dis tress. Of course, no one wants te lie ill, but mnny of the people de net knew even the simplest rules of henlth, a following of which will keep them well, ur will in many cases prevent serious illness. "Education nleng these lines formed the basis of the educational work Instituted by the Red Cress, and U Is also in line with the theory of the Stute Hiiieau of Health at Hnrrisburg. It is Dr. Martin's idea te get nt the causes of preventable disease, enlighten the people who suffer from them (nntl every one. tee, for that matter, who does net knew these causes , nntl thus step sjich diseases nt the source. "Tills Is a matter of the utmost impor tance te the well-being of the Natien. Net only Is the health -of the present gencrn gencrn tien affected largely bvlt, but the henlth of the future generations is, te an even greater extent, dependent upon it. Ne people can attain te their utmost without goetl physical health, se te a certain extent the destine of the country icsts in a con siderable uieusure upon Its health. Hospital "Fellow-Up" Werk "Working toward the same mil, but in n different manner, is the 'lelluw-up' svs tern of the modern hospitals. 'Phis consists of looking ufter the patients after they leave the hespitul. The patient has gen erally learned a geed deal while lu the institution, and when he comes out he usuully knows what put him there If he had a prevgntnble illness and hew te uveld it in the future. "A part of this sjstem is due te the fact that very few hospitals have u sufficient number of beds te take enre of the patients they have waiting for them. Therefore it is necessary, as seen as a patient is able te leave, te take him home in order that some one else who is in a vveise condition may have the bed.
