THEY DON'T FRIGHTEN PEPPER THE way Senater Pepper tallts te the men who nre threatening te work for his de feat because they de net like ills opposition te the bonus iu refreshing. The Senater refuses te be frightened or ttampeded by reorganization of the Soldiers' , Civic League in this State for the purpose' of working iignlnt him. If the people of -, th'e State de net v. Mi him te remain in Waohlngten he will Ktay nt home, but fe long as he in there he intends te nerve hib country te the best of his ability. He in sists tliat he is cerving it new by ebjcctinp te the bonus, and in "doing in a small wny wfcnt the reldicrs during the war did in a great way." That is the kind of talk that will justify the confidence of the State in Senater Pep per, and is likely in the outcome te prove that the euiidt political wisdom lle in the aaes't courageous loyalty te the public geed. HARDING IS RIGHT PRKSIDKNT HARDING is acting In the bonus business with a full realization of his responsibilities te all the people.

That is what fTcry one else with any knowledge of governmental finunc has said. That it should have bcn seriously proposed by a congressional committee is dishearten ing. It would net have bi-en proposed, how ever, if Congress were net approaching an election. The politicians are ufraid of the aeldtar vef as though there were such a political solid. The service men came from all parties. They arc Republicans and Democrats nnd Seciat'xts and Labcrrites and Nen-i'artisan Leaguers. The Democrats arc net going te Tete for Republicans because the Republi cans have favored the bonus. And the Re publicans are net i;elr.g te vote against the candidate's of their own party because these candidates have rettd cr talked ngelnst n bonus at ..e present time.

The Authorities Have Been Tolerating a Gambling System That Makes Race Tracka Seem Tame YOUNG Mr. Unger, who gambled away about $'-00,000 of the Kvnnt, Institute's money in futile ukmihUs en the clock mar ket under the guidance of Dler & Ce. be fore (lint linn blew up, was net the first of his kind, lie will net be the last. He wus what the sharks of the game call a green fish He had access te large sums of ready money and no apparent knowledge of the lxrils that lie In wait for amateurs 'who stray among Wftllingfertlit in quest of easy money. Se he was a find for the touts. "Dier & Ce. assigned their best salesman te attend te him,1' says one of the rervrts. Yet the firm or its salesmen fheuld have known that Unger wasn't using his own money. t'neer worked in a bank. He had a job te held down nnd no leisure in which te leek personally after his deals. Yet the looting of the Evans Institute's strongbox was con tinued te the end, even though Dler & Ce. were under a cloud for weeks before their failure was announced. Hew much of the blame is Unger's and hew much of it belongs te the courts, the District Attorney's office nnd the organiza tions of legitimate brokers who continue te leek rather helplessly nt a system of gam bling that muies the old-fashioned race track appear in retrospect like the mildest of tca-and-bridge scrimmages? The creeks in the teek markclR anil the irrepressible bucket-shoppers seem somehow cleverer than the reputable brokers nnd far mere resourceful than the District Attor ney's detecUves. At the legal obsequies of defunct hteck -jobbing organizations the promoters are the most nonchalant. They wear the best clothes and the easiest smile. A brush with the Court, an action in bank ruptcy, the appointment of receivers, a comforting cigarette and your Wnlllngferd walks out te leek for new opportunities, leaving ruin and genuine misery in lib wake. Tt is idle te suppose that the bucket-shops are being brought te an end. They aren't. And when the present storm blows ever they will be prosperous once mere and, at intervals, one of their victims will blew out his brains or go te jail or run away. Mean- ! while, the courts continue te appoint re ceivers and reBt content at that. It is supposed that only floaters and the small investors about whose troubles no one seems te worry arc victimised in Ille gitimate or crooked stock deals. The fact is that all low-salaried men in positions of trust nre potential victims of th,e nmastincly energetic bucket-shop or promotion .tout who, lying like a Turk, drunk with "selling dope." charged like a drug addict v 1th the machine-made efficiency spirit, gee about premising credulous folk ccrtalu nsr re turns en invested money for a share of the spoils that he takes back te his boss. Meral responsibility for the looting of the Evans Institute's strongbox lies net en linger alone, but en the people who co operated vvith him informally and helped him te fling S2O0.U0O te the uiid-. Why the legal responsibility -heuld net be .simi larly distributed it is hard for any scniiblc man te understand. Net long age a cemmittfe ut tin Phila delphia Stock Exchange and representatives of the District Attorney's office including Majer Wynne, chief of the county detectives had a conference te consider a method for a cleaning up in the fringes of the securities brokerage business. Nothing came of it. There ere brokers and bankers who feel that, being henet themselves and the heads of indispensable institutions, they should net be expected te bother about what gees en in the slums of the pecuiativc system or worry about the feels who get their pockets picked in the shadow of tl.e stock exchange, liut brokers w-he de the legitimate business of the exchanges ought te be as quick te expose and eliminate the quacks as doctors 1 aie te expose snides of their profeion. I T t 1 ...I..-. f Leng-continued tolerance or open -air swindling carried en under the pretense of stock transactions will bring the whole in vestment market undu- a cloud and, for all j en knew, under home sort of lievernment control thnt may le at en'-c uncomfortable and inconvenient. V few bucket -shoppers and some of the promoters of phantom cor porations ought te go te jail. The courts ought te see te this. The District Attor ney's effiie ought te de meic than talk. Fer two or tluee jears the country has been in nn artificially stimulated gambling nightmare And the present consequences of thnt craze are net only disgraceful but ! dangerous te business und le all sound financial interests. JUST COMMON SENSE THE abandonment by the Civil Seriicc. Commission of Its demand that certain cit.i emplejes whose salaries lc licfn in creased Hheuld take an examination te test their fitnecs is sensible, The Inw which requires re-exiiminatlnn of officeholders after their salaries Hrc raited above a certain figure could net ha" been intended te apply te such cees as tliee in question. It was doubtless intended te apply te an elevation in rank wiili.n higher salary, which would amount te appointment te n new position. But when an increase In pay is voted ss a recognition of the efficiency of the office holder or in order te adjust his pay te the higher custs of living, it would l.e carrying the civil service regulations te tins extreme of felly te Insist that they be required te pass nw tests te disclose fitness for duties performed satisfactorily for a leiiu time.

In most of the lesidenlial sections of this community it has been years since tjMi cry of "peppery pet, tmeklns het," rung out upon the uppetizing atmosphere. Children cried for it. Sanitary and hygienic au thorities had net yet bejun te frown. Tureens went eagerly extended by de lighted consumers nn spotless white marble ioeritepi.

Street-vended pepper pet was Individualistic. It smacked of nrlistry.

THE GREAT PARK OUTRAGE THK secretary of the I'alnneunt Park Protective Association, nlse obviously its founder nnd treasurer, rises as one man te pretest against the suggested use of any portion of the "people's property" for the fair of 11120. , Frem his broadcasting station, ilch Is presumably stocked with stamped envelopes addressed te imperiled fellow citizens, this official, whose name Is Kvans, is a vibrant unit of indignation. "Help us," pleads one of his pamphlets, throbbing with exclama tion points, "te save Fairmount Park from destruction!" "Citizens," tries the Protective Associa tion and what, after nil, is spelling In such a crisis "exercise your BeVcrnlty!" His His terjpal dates, even the birthday of a nation, are evidently of scant consequence te this high-strung organization, which ln.sista that staging the exposition in the Park would mean "fencing the people out of it for the next seven jcars ut least!" But if Mr. Kvans is se cjcilcd that he imagines the Declaration of Independence te have been signed In I77D. he is perhaps net entirely blameworthy. Councilmen Gaffney and Ven Tngcn have been unham pered by facts in describing the horrors of a park-environed fair. According te their implications, the Centcnnl.il of 1876 was never held, or if it did exist its ravages were irrepnrable. It one is Inclined te doubt this let hi in inspect the West Park today and note the awful devastation. It is of record that the first turnpike in the I'nitcd Stales, between Philadelphia and Lancaster, was viewed ns an appalling menace te the welfare of the infant He public. Less distant is the day when the late Mayer Rcyburn trembled left a threat ened increase of tiuffic en Ilread street should militate against u monopoly of that thoroughfare for parades. The distressing thought that the planting of decorative shade tres along Spring Garden street "would spoil the beautiful flag pavement" at one time agitated the minds of a class of Phlla ddphlnns who would make spirited members of the Fairmount Protective Association Heedless of all warnings of this type, which are by no means uncommon in this sensitive community, u writer in a recent issue of the Keystone Motorist recalls the instructive tale of the first great world's fair held in Hyde Park, Londen, in 1851. The stately Times envisaged the utter de struction of the people's playground. The Heuse of Commens pulsated with wee. Somehow or ether Hyde Park managed te survive the blew which fell and England in sulne respects stands where she did. Undeniably, however, the implied deduc tion is daring. In Philadelphia there is something almost ruthless in viewing u pub lic project straightforwardly and with regard te established actualities. The Fairmount Park Protective Association would probably have litrle hesitancy In branding as traitors the Uolaters of a cherished tradition. WHERE WORDS ARE WEAK Till', termination of the Lansing-Ibhii agreement is implicit in the Four-Power Pacific Treaty. That covenant establishes a new order in the Far East, and the fact is made plain in categorical language. The utmost icseurces of speech and writing are, however, calculated te infuriate certain types of United States Senators. Lucidity in their ejes becomes a sinister cloak. Their appetite for mystery is Insatiable. With the best of intentions, it is doubtful if Mr. Herding can elucidate the. Pacific arbitration nnd stability pact te a degree beyond Hint presented in the actual test. He and Senater Ledge may restate the case. They may show that the Angle -Japanese Treaty is abrogated by the new pact, that the new contract is net n treaty of alliance but of co-eperntlou te preserve penre, and that it contain an arbitration program of the utmost consequence te the welfare of civilization. Hut the clauses fashioned in the Washington Conference exhibit all this. Mr. Berah will be unsatisfied, of course. The indications that sufficient votes can be mnrshaleil against him and his kind te put through one of the met-t important achieve ments of the Arms Conference suggest tlmt his delight In anguish will net be mitigated. Mere ordinary citizens ere te be pardoned if they are a bit dazed at tills menint by the spectacle in Wobhingten. In the be ginning, political professional skepticn feared Jest the Conference accomplish nothing. New these same groups bewail the quantity of solid achievement. Secret treaties have been maligned. Jn view of conditions in Washington, it may be wondered whether or net this censure was eutlrcly just. The Nebraska Supteme Narrowed Down Court has sustained tin: constitutionality of a low prohibiting the teaching of any foreign language In the public schools. A dissenting opinion deplores interference with the right of American parents te have their children taught any language they please. Which would appear te be beside the point. Amer ican parents still have that right. In Ne braska as ebewliere, with tlie added right of having them taught the twe-btep and the saxophone. The only point at Issue was the light of the people te say, however fool ishly, through their Legislature, what shall or shall net be tiititcht iu ihe schools sup ported by the public at lnrge.

AS ONE WOMAN SEES IT Seme Brief Consideration of Sites for the Seaqul-Centennlal Feeling That Younger Bleed 8heuld Be Absorbed In the Organ izing Beard By SARAH D. LOWRIE SPENT a long while looking ever the plans in the gallery of the Emergency Ala I nt Eighteenth and locust Mrccta this after noon which nre these se far proposed for the various sites for the So&iul-Centcnnlal. Ne doubt even these of Krn Dedge, the engineer who is responsible for the Uoosc Ueosc Uoesc elt boulevard plans, are confessedly tenta tive. The ae-called Cret plan for the Fair mount site and the Heg Islnnd plan by Phillp'S. Tyne ere mete handsome aVelchcs of what might be, given the money. All are pinna thnt might go down en nny Btreteh of land given the money nnd time. Meanwhile the acreage and the appreachei te the sites proposed nre an follews: The Heg Island site, just below- League Island Nuvy Yard, can provide DOOO perfect level acres, n great river frontage and an approach from the center of the city down Bread street. The Roosevelt boulevard site, above Cott man street, can provide 1000 acres or ever, part park and part privately owned ground, with the Pcnnypnck Cicck as Its water fea ture and with partly weeded, partly open flat aiirfneeR. lis nmirniieli fiem the rente!' of the city la out North Bread Street te the ueuievaru. The Fairmount Park and WIssahiclten site provides something under BOO acres, a river nnd a varied purferc of weeds and parks, rocky hills and meadow lands, and an npprondiVfreiu the center of the city by the Parkway. The requirements for meters would be ever 150 acres, counting 160 meters te nn acre, which would allow about WOO meters and about 75,000 persons per day coming te the site by meter vehicle. I N ISO., when herse vehicles were in use, the Ghlcntre ncrenire was GSO. In 1015, when meters were In full use, the San Fran Fran ciseo acreage was 6e5 acres. Under the.Cret plan for the Parkway nnd Fairmount Park the available acreage Is a little under 400 acres. Fer these who have te "hoof it" the less iicrcage Uie better, se that the full effect of beauty is obtained. I confess that Heg la land's "000 wilt me te think of. especially as it hns te be purchased and landscape gardened and the approaches beautified be fore a building is put en it. Even the 1000 available acres of the Roosevelt plan sound like n gigantic rpnec for human feet te trudge about In te find tlie sections of the great fair. It would be better te park the meters outside the "70 ncrcs of Fairmount Park and walk te the buildings from the edge of the Park. Yeu would net have te go se far in nny case as in the ether huge areas. Besides till that, we have the landscape gardening all done in Fairmount Perk, the liver all ready except for the sewerage in the water and the railroads nnd trolley lines and approaches nil made. It would bs a great relief te have everything thnt one ought te visit only n romfertnble walk apart. Then, tee. Fairmount Park is really tlie renter of the town for Gcrmnntewn. Chest nut Hill and the Main and Schuylkill Hue settlements, net te speak of West nnd most of North and Seuth Philadelphia. THE landscape gardeners and architects can surely glte the sense of vistas and the sense of becoming -distances in 'WO ncres. without cutting down n tree or destroying nny permanent beauty of the most beautiful park in the country indeed in the world. And ns one woman put It: "Of ceuisp great pressure will be brought hv the owners of waste land round Heg Is landfatal nnme nnd the owners of laud near the Pennypack out beyond the Roose velt boulevard, te make their vast acreage seem worth the city's investing in. But why buy waste land for n perk when wc have n perfect pnrk already?" A man in talking it ever last evening front a realty point of view said : "If land has te be taught for tee meter storage places, it w'euld pay the city te In vest in the land built en with old and ue lapidated houses along tl.e river from Sprini; Garden street down te Arch, and sell it aftervvnrd for new houses of a better type. It could be made n verv nleasanl pail of the I city by clearing out tlie old factories and tlie I poorly equipped facterv tenements. These are net only my Ideas," he added, "they are what comes, waiting pest me trem nil anu sundry ns I go about my business and pleasure." I GATHER, tee, that there is a feeling abroad that younger bleed ought te be absorbed Inte the organizing beard. It Is net n place nor will be in the next five years for the venerable or the Honorary citizens who hnvn had their greatest day. Seme one under sixty should be nt the head of it. some one who hns had an nrtistlc as well ns a business experience, and who by the nnture' of his big life hns been given te licspitnlity ! some one who knows Europe from mere than n tourist's standpoint and who knows this eeuntry from mere than ,t t.ierc financier's standpoint. WHAT AILED HIM I heard of a newspaperman w-liOjgat per mission te go into the trrnches during a lull in the firing In the war. Miss Sarah D. Lnwrie remarked casually te the Overset Man. His guide led him in silence until they came te a ditch, and then he whispered "This Is flic third trench, sir." And the leperter. much Imnrcssed, whispered back, "The third trench'." After considerable walking nnd creeping tliej came te another ditch and the guide whispered, even lower, "The second trench," and the reporter, a little unnerved by (he great caution, whispered bach, "The second trench!" Their further pregrcs was very slew nnd through seemingly deserted ground until they came te nnnther ditch, into which they scrambled. "This is the first!" whispered the guide directly into his companion's ear. The reporter leaned ecr and cautlensly whispered back. "Hew far is the bechp trench?" "Half a mile." whispered the guide "Why de wc !,ae te whisper?" hissed the reporter "We don't htne tu. said thu guide; "I have larjngltls." SUNSET ACROSS the western sky the geld-edged clouds Stand, like linire mountains that their out lines shift, While in the east a twilight arflh appears And tips with vilmsen bridal veils that drift Acress tlie eate moon's face. The sun's last fiery lance new pierces thieitgh The clouds, and like a mist the twilight creeps, Flooding the vallrpf,. c'imbing te tin hills Night spieads the couch wlieic weary Nature sleeps: .

Personally I think scientists arc ju-t won derful. , Various men have odd little habits that arc amusing in the watching. There Is Rcpre aeninilve M. P. Khikalil. of Nebraska, for instance. He lives in a hotel down here iu Washington. Whenever lie leaves that liet"l te go ever ie the Capitel or go down town, or go nnvwherc. he alwn.s steps at the last chair near the deer, sits him down and tightens his shoestrings. He hasn't missed ence-slnce he came te Congress. Once in a year or. two there meets in New Yerk for a banquet un organization known as "the Fossils," made up of "amateur journalists of the past," men, who, as boys back In the seventies and eighties, played with printers' ink. Themas A. Edisen 1 one of them, ns is Governer William C. Spnuil, of Pennsyl vania, and Josephus Daniels, who used te lie Hecrrtnry of the Navy. James M, Heck, Solicitor General of the United States; Or- vllle Wright, Sennter Geeige H. Meacs and Cyrus H. K. Curtis are "Fossils." All of which may indicate that putting one's thoughts In print while he i.s jet young is a thing that may breed that straight-thinking that leads along the ie.nl te accomplishment. The father of Terrence V. Powderly, white-haired dean of Immigration problems nt the Laber Department, came from Ireland nnd settled in tlm anthracite fields of Penn sylvania. He was the man of them all in this world who first leaded a railroad car with coal. This first car of coal which Powderly leaded was transported back In 1829 end held n ten nnd a half of fuel. P. W. Wilsen, of England, long a mem ber of Parliament, throws some Interest -inr. sldelliihtH uneii Mr. J Jewl Cenvixv who Is by way of being the most outstand ing figure in the world today. He nays that Lloyd Gcorge'u human re sponsiveness Is his strongest characteristic. There was the tlme when he called en the new King, for example, te condone with him en the passing of the old King. His Majest,? sold afterward that Lloyd Geerge wns the only Individual who treated him us a man as well as a sovereign. There was the time ahe when the Pie. niter's daughter died of appendicitis. ,lll(i Mr. P. W. Wilsen lest a son of the' sumo complaint. Lloyd Geerge sent for the mem ber of Parliament end when the latter -arrived he found the former, thU man who directs the couice of world affairs, In tears "Tell mc what it amount, te," n,yH Lloyd Geerge te some subordinate whenever u fiinnninp huh; iiajjrr requires Ills atten- iiuii, c iviunv!; iv nag ae. as much as you ltke," he ufrl.D, critic, "but'dgn't A JAX, JUNIOR .Wj-wsm M.J - 'j"ier Light3 en Lives ami Whims of Personages in the Public Eye forget te cenm around te my house for breakfnst.'' The Premier is a Bnptist. but is a bit confused us te his classification among the varieties of Baptists. "There nre two serls of Baptists," he said one day. "I belong te one of these branches xi'f the church and therefore hate the elhrf nien ardently. But for the life of me I can't remember le which I be long." It's strange hew tlrey keep ou cribbing Mark Twain's stuff. A distinguished gentlcmm went In te see President Harding the ether day and after ward lie said that, following the introduc tions, he had said te the Executive; "I feel verj much crnhnrresscd, Mr. Pres ident. Hew- de j ou feel?" Which wn- just what Mark Twain actu ally said en such an occasion two or thrce decades ae. Then ou the same day I heard a United State-, Senater make a speck and he pulled this one : "An ancestor sit mine." lie said, "once went te a hanging nnd theic suffered in juries from which he died." That was number two from the author of Tem Sawjcr in the same day. Fred C. Kelly, the author, had a second hand auiniuebilc for sale. He took great care in preparing nn advertisement which he inserted in the paper. Next morning lie read that ad right there in print. "That must be u remarkable car," he said, "I guess I will keep it." Madame Sari Hard, of Swrtlen. once nn actress, new a journalist, who has been iu Washington for the Arms Conference, says that Amuiicim women arc possessors of two wonderful mental qualities net often found among member., of their sex.

Wc pay fancy prices for theatre liclccis, for Instance, but eecup them bristling wiili belligerence. We ate there, net le enjoy the performance, but te quarrel with all that tinnsplies.
