Mirth :). 1922 PROGRESS AND THE FAIR SINCE the c!ectleu of n sitf for the fmr the project seems te be moving forward In the right direction. The Pennsylvania delegation In Cnnsresn has voted In ferninl raunn te support the nereMary legislation in Wnshingten. They wtre expected te de this as a matter of course, but they could de nothing until there vat something definite ubeut which te talk te the ether members of Congress. Representative, business men In this City hove just been pledging their support te the enterprise and talking about the kind of ftilr for which arrangements should be made. It is accepted as n matter of course tha H should show the progress that has been made since the Centennial celebration here la 1876. The electric railway, the tele phone, the phonograph, the automobile, the nlrshlp and wlrclewi telegraphy have all been Invented or developed in the lat fifty j trs. And the typewriter was In its lufaney In 187C, and the linotype machine, which has nude possible the large newspapers of the present day. was only an inventor' dream. The steel-framed building has been de veloped, and se have the turbine engine and the Diesel meter. And the moving pictures are less than twenty-five" years old. If the fair did nothing but exhibit the ptOfress in invention, it would be nn in spiration te ingenious young men te carry still further the perfection of devices for the comfort, convenience and entertainment of humanity. AN OASIS-OF BEAUTY WfULK. it cannot be said that the im munity' of the Upper Wlssabicken from automobiles is very seriously threatened, the newly formed Philadelphia Uider' and Drivers' Association Is taking no chance. A campaign has been launched en behalf of the lnvielacy of a unique and pictorially romantic survival of a less strenuous past. The association calls for adequate sprinkling -Jt Its sanctuary this summer and for the rebuilding of water-troughs along the vn. Motorists, however enthusiastic, have scant cause te resent this program. The Upper TVlssatilchen has earned its gracious seclusion. That exceptional specimen, the modern pedestrian, Is comparatively safe there. The occasional equestrians are en titled te the privileges which they have se long retained. Fer Philadelphlans at least there should be pleasure in the thought that net every link with the seasoned charm and suavity of nn elder day is severed. As an antidote for shattered nerves, as a stimulus te the sqn.se b beauty, a leisurely stroll through the .miniature Alpine gorge of the 'Wlssahlcken may still be heartily recemmpnded. FRIENDS AND THE TREATIES THE Society of Erleuds, Orthodev branch, new holding Its icarly Meeting in this city, has discovered n spiritual kinship be tween the achievements of the Washington Conference and the professions of the Quakcr'faith. Menaces of approval oon eon oen gratulnting President Harding and his Cabi net for their accomplishments en the read te durable peace have been authorized in the current session.

HUNGER FOR PAP NO ONE familiar with the nay, of Con gress will be surprise at the warn, 115 given by the leaderH of the farmers' bin,- in the Heuse that unless the members voted te Increase the appropriation in the Hiver nd Harber Hill from $127,000,000 te .$42,000,01)0 they would get nothing for their districts. The farmers' bloc In made up of men who Intend te held up Congress until it passes bills intended te enrich the farmeri- Hut In the past the Hcprcsentatives who wanted river or harbor appropriations for their dls trlcts combined te held up legislation until they could get the rest te ngree te the spend -in of money in their districts. In this way ths public money has been squandered oil useless enterprises in order te further the political ambitions of politicians. That it Is an unscientific way te improve tht rivers and the hatbers has long been admitted, but thee who have sought te bring about a change for the better hate forgotten that the end sought has net been an Improvement in the Inland waterways ad a deepening of the harbeis for the ac commodation of ocean-going shipping.

WHEN FLAPPERS HELD A FORT FROM WHICH MEN HAVE FLED Government by Cenaera and the Girls of Greenwich Village and the Last Ditch Flflht for Analo Anale Analo Saxen Liberty AN X-HAY picture of what. Alderman McGtilnncss, of New Yerk, calls his mind might Interest the Federal Bureau of Miues or the Geological Survey. We shall let him pass. But the psychologists should at once snatch up Commissioner Kirrlght and these of his policemen who polished up their badges nnd hotfooted en Broadway and in Greenwich Village te enforce the terms of a bill drawn by Mr. McGulnness te "pro hibit smoking by females" in public restnu rants. As drum majors in the onward march of reincarnated wltchburncrs they are well, they arc superb. Is It any worse for a woman te smoke in n restaurant than te smeke cigarettes In privacy? Will the people who have gene a bit mad en the subject of social reform never learn that It is wrong desires that trouble the world and that you cannot club desire out of a man's bead or a woman's; that a moral equivalent for force is as necessary te a better social order as It is in the scheme of international relations, and that you cannot ever hope te cure a disease by merely sup pressing Its symptoms? Let ub admit that it seems wrong for w'emen te smoke In a public place. It seems wrong because mankind continues te search passionately nmld all the wreckage of its dreams for something te held In reverence, for something that seems better than itself, and Is forever trying desperately te justify In Its own mind the fine legend of wemen'w higher place In the scheme of life. Can policemen with clubs belp men In their mystical quest for gods or even geddesics te take the place of these denied them by the higher criticism? Hardly. A moral equivalent for policemen's clubs Is what we need and the reformers seem unable te find it. Se in their rage and real they are willing te make us a Natien of the ruled rather than 11 Natien of rulers. The pretty flappers In Greenwich Village who greeted Enrlght's men with soprano beets and blew smoke defiantly in the fares of the policemen may net hnve reflected the ideal of feminine conduct applauded by nn elder generation. But for a dizzy minute or two they became Public Figures of Im posing significance. They seemed te be holding a fort which most of us in this sup posedly free country have abandoned te the embittered fanatics of "righteousness." They were mere dramntle than Paul Hcvcre, mere admirable than Clemencenu. Fer they gave n new and piquant form nnd meaning te a question that for the moment overshadows every ether In the United States. Gradually we have been abandoning Gov ernment by the People for Control by Cen Cen eors. A wave of Intolerance has swept the country like a pestilence. Acceptance of dictatorships, of formal and informal taboos, of this ban and that, has become the rule In America. Official Judgment operates new where personal opinion used te operate in the direction of prlvnte affairs. What the prophets and spokesmen if this new Intolerance seem t" have forgotten is that a new experiment in human life nnd government, out of which nil the hope and vitality of the great democracies sprang, began when freedom fit nctien, thought mid conscience was first guaranteed te all men. The escape of a race from tyranny was accomplished only after centuries of fnry and rebellion and bleed-letting. It was a triumph of thnt "rage for justlre" which always has been the characteristic of the Anglo-Saxen. Rut tyranny is forever icturmng and ex perimenting in new guises It cenifs n trii'ts. as censerships. In fanatical groups or in agencies deliberated- organized te limit men's opportunities, their freedom of action and their freedom of thought. Mere recently It has managed te usurp even .some of the power of Government. Men like Knrlght and his police proclaim nethln? mere or less than a belief In the failure and futility of the fundamental principles of all modern government. They imply that people ate net fit te be masters of their own wills. It Is true thnt the right of Individual lib erty is often abused. What great pilvllcges are net abused? And would It net be far better te be patient, te lie of geed f.ilth and te tcavlt people trict te 10 ictth their liberty anl nire thou time te learn lather than tci talc their liberty auny from them anil no itart a backward movement 0 .teeiaZ thought nml nvtwn tmeard the ancient past! Who will assert that the progress of enlightened opinion and of social consciousness does net jtntify the continuance of the democratic experiment"' All th privnte and public ngenclej, of ec.al censorship, all the agencies new busily 'ngaged in Mtabllsb!ng thir. taboo or that, nnd all the forces that tend te continue and fix the rentralizatlen of governmental 11 u u tlierlty which was effected under the pies sine of war's necessities are reminiscent net of democracy tis we used te knew it. but of the herding nnd the goee-steppng, the decrees from On High and the mass sup piesslmi which made (icriiinnj destestable ami linilll.v lm,eienl In iheinedein weild. Seme one has said that a nation ihut lights 11 victorious war Inevitably and un un un roneleusly adepts the driving characteris tics of the defeated adversary. He was no mean prophet. "The duty of nil geed citi zens:," said the Kaiser, "Is obedience!" "Geed citizens," say the mere radical nnd aggressive social reformers, "de as the law tells them te de and ask no questions." . Is It n virtue, then, te be servile of mind and without the spirit of pretest or the heblt of honest criticism? The fiist duty of n geed citizen is mere than obedlence te law. If n citizen is goad lie must be Intelligent and he must, above nil things, protect his moral rights and the Institutions of government carefully devl-cd te help him In that exsen tinl task. It would be better te tolerate a geed many evils and a great many nbiiFC of the Tlfht q( freedom than te attempt te rever&e the machinery of evolution In auto cratlt: experiments devjeed te compel people te be better man um want te be. The thing te de li te make people ieanf te be better than they are. That Is net easy. It can be done because It has been done before. But because it Is net easy and because suppression Is supposed le be easier, the mnnla for Teferra by compulsion. Las spread, . Lord Bryce, one of the greatest friends of di-mecrncj in Its modern forms, predicted thnt the Infusion Inte the population of the United States of a large foreign element would Inevitably weaken the spirit of the country and make n way for n revival of tyranny easy. He was thinking of certain southern nnd middle Europeans used te taking orders and bowing meekly nt any sign of authority. The southern Europeans) hnv come. Rut the strange thing Is te observe their traits reflected mere and mere clearly in the native population. Is democracy worn ut, enervated, dis pirited nnd without the vitality necessary te go en? Must it set up Its own tyrants te keep It in order? Must It have inquisitors nnd censers nnd oppressors of Its own te rule its mind and Its morals? Is It inade quate te human need and human progress? Prohibition of whisky would be a geed thing. Hut would It be se geed a thing that we should barter our national soul te bring it a few ycats nearer? Wouldn't voluntary prohibition by general enlightenment be at once preferable nnd mere of n practical success? Is it possible te imagine a moral equivalent of the Anti-Saleen League? Was thnt equivalent present In the sentiment which, unaided, was gradually drying up the country befete the days of Velsteadlsm? Force Is always dangerous and In the long run It can be of no geed use. Force applied te the regulation of opinion and conduct will alwnjg be useless or worse. And when the people permit nny minority or any group te take out of their hands the right te govern nnd make rules and laws they arways pay bitterly for fhelr negligence. There is no privacy any mere. Yeu can hare no secrets from n Government official. Yeu must tell what you earn, what you spend and hew and why. The Anti-Saleen League was wildly eager te go bursting into the privacy of your house en raiding expe ditions, nnd It was restrained only because of some last flicker of courage In Congress. If yen want te knew what the new tyranny can de when It isn't watched, read the report just issued by a Senate committee which spent almost a yenr looking into the activities of the Department of Justice. Mr. Walsh, chairman of the committee, was a Democrat, nnd Mr Wilsen and Attorney General Palmer were Democrats who gave the Government's secret police the power te de Infinite wrong. Yet Mr. Walsh signed a report that is withering in nil its Impli cations. The Senate committee found that the Department of Justice operatives, im mune from criticism because n war was en. Imprisoned the Innocent, jailed nnd deported men and women who had never thought of doing wrong, raided and terrorized at will nnd left a record as black with injustice and cruelty as nny written In the days of the secret police of the Czars. PHILADELPHIA AS HOST IT IS easy te visualize the decorative pos pes ters, picturing Philadelphia as a gener ous host. Inviting the world te spend the summer of 1020 in this community. Glo rious Is the conception of representatives of every race and people thronging through fair gates', eager te view the concentrated mar tels of modern civilization. Rut what will become of the creud and where will it lay its collective bead nt the close of each day? On this subject imagi nations have net yet been conspicuously productive. It has been suggested te the Exposition Association that increased ac commodations for visitors might be pro vided wete the fair management te take ever a dozen or mere apartment houses in the henrt of the eitj The idea Is linked with the thought that the regular tenants should be persunded te nbandeu their homes during the eight months of the show. The proposal Is ingenious. The only drawback Is the dilemma of these persons who an te be ousted through the force of moral and civic pressure from their ordinary quarters. Philadelphia can lake care of the fair visitors if Philadelphlans move out. That much Is incontestable. Equally certain, however. I the inability of tliis community te furnish suitable quar ters both for its permanent residents anil the desired inllux rf strangers unless large cale preparations are innde. The city Is deplorably lucking in hotel accommodations. Under normal conditions It is crowded, The fnlr will brlns chaos unless the responsibili ties of the case have been seriously recog nized and Important reforms have been effected. It is net tee early te consider Philadel phia as host, nut its gesture of hospitality will prove mocking if foresight Is net npplied and building net started until within a few months of the Sesqul-CVntennial The lime te start has arrived. MORE ABOUT HENRY IK HENBA" FOI5IJ i. planning 10 ue what power he has tn defeat the Senators who voted te sent New ben the approaching cam paign is going te be unusually Interesting. lie has had nu .igent in Pennsylvania looking ever the ground In order te dis cover hew best te prevent Senater Pepper from being elected And word comes from New Jersey thnt he Is planning te stump that State In opposition te the re-election of Senater Frellnghuysen. If Mr. Ferd stumps New Jersey he will prehably de It vicariously, for he is net n public speaker, lie would find no difficulty In securing men willing te tnlk for him and te say the things which he would like te h.tve said. There are Democrats who would be delighted te take the platform against Frellnghuysen for se much a speech and their expenses. Mr. Ferd has the money, and if he is willing te open his purse lie may be surprised te discover hew easy it is te tind men willing te help him empty it. Rut the spectacle of Henry spending money te defeat Senators who voted te seat a man In behalf of whose election money wns spent would add te the gayety of na tions, while his activities would help rather than hurt the man against whom they were directed. There has been a geed deal of Ferd propa ganda In tecent months. One of the forms It has taken has been the publication of n book called "The Truth About Henry Ferd," in which the statement In mndn thnt he gave $211,000,000 iif his war profits te the Government. Secretary Mellen has just asked Mr. Ferd hew the gift was made. He say, he can find 110 record of It in the hooks .of the Treasury Department mid thnt as 11 matter of fact the Riirenu of Internal Revenue bus been uqalile during the three years since the war ended te find out ust what bis war profits had been. Mr. Ferd's reply te Secretary Mellen will be nwalted with considerable Interest net only In the Treasury Department, but in the offices of every large -manufacturing plant which was occupied with' war work. A8 ONE WOMAN 8EE8 IT Intertatlnii Pamphlet Only 8tryte Convlnea That the Only Prdper Way te Live le te Avoid Needing a Rett Cure "By SARAH b. LOWR1E I PICKED up from my desk this morning . a little pamphlet that was laid there by seme one for my eyes te fall en sooner or ,n,.c.5jiJ d5f "y with the heading: . The Resources of Systematized Rest. Isolation and Forced Feeding," a paper that is a reprint from the MedlcaJ Times, the author being J. Madisen Tayler. M.D. t was struck first, as I glanced Idly at tui; Introduction, by this phrase: . . "The late Weir Mitchell whose chief of clinic I was for years devised nnd employed with conspicuous success 'a method of rob bing rest of Us evils.' " That expression, which Dr. Tayler Is evi dently quoting himself "robbing rest of Its evils 'interested tnc. I have known mere than one rest-cured patient who has never get back in touch with life. I read en as one rends n story te get the plot and dis cover the sequel, and both were mere' Inter esting than most "best sellers." I CANNOT analyse the pamphlet here even if I were capable of any valuable general judgment en the subject treated, but the following quotation from what might be called the opening chapter gives a verj fair Wen hew the subject is dealt with. Ibese facts' vis., facts concerning re cent researches In the neure and psyche pathology of the vegetative nervous system, resources of the ductless glands, etc. "were noij-knewable te Dr. Mltchclr. but be wes fully aware of their clinical foreshadewlngs. His primary training wag that of a teacher of physiology, which made him slert te much he could net define but guided determina tion and nctien. "Absolute rest with Its isolation, monotony, Its unhurrledness, orderliness, regularity, tends te release from all ever-tension, sus pense, anxieties, which thus fade Inte the background nnd tend te disappear. Depressed energies, reflex circuits, slowly but steadily thus come back te poise. A state of release Is created te ever-tension psychegenic nnd muscular. Rest treatment thus supplies peculiarly favorable opportunities for men tal distraction, for hypneldal states (of Beris Sldls), forming a cleavage between the conscious and the cocensclous. what Mitchell called the pre and pest dermltal states in which Sidls tells the precise time occurs te interject or Introduce constructive sugges tions. "We assistants were specifically instructed as te hew and when te utilize these receptive states, and. In particular, hew nt te abuse them. 'Te keep our hands off when delicate or suspicious or strange conditions or revela tions were about te emerge. "The finer, mere subtle, and the guiding work was reserved for the master. We could, and often did, contribute te the re- Hilts, lfut always within our jurisdiction. "In short, rest treatment may be con ceived of as the artistic as well as the scien tific and common-sense adaptation of rest, supplemented by suitable aecesserv pro cedures in accord, with the needs "of the Individual. "R'st has been recognized since time im memorial ns paramount te the treatment of acute, te many protracted and otherwise complicated disorders and diseases. Mere inaction, however, is by no means adequate; hence Hilten, Weir Mitchell. Playfalr and later the experts In disorders of metabolism, the phthlslegraphers. nnd new the surgeons hnve come te use rest and the accessories of test, and have defined the Instrumentalities whereby te bring about a maximum of effi ciency for rest ns a radical agency in cellular restitution nnd psychopathic re-establish-ment. In acute disease and injury nbselutc rest Is essential, net only ns the chief agency te retard the ebbing tide of defense energies during infection or threatened infection after shock or trauma, but also in order te fortify the reparative potentialities. "In protracted or chronic or convalescent states, rest, absolute, modified or partial. Is equnlly efficacious in plnclng the sufferer in position of advantage for rehabilitation. "While it is a simple matter te place nn individual in bed, or te immobilize a pari, it is forcefully borne in upon men of ex perience 'that. In delayed repair or unfortu nate eventualities, there is required quite ns lauch judgment, special skill nnd training te employ rest advantageously ns is needed le successfully emplev nny ether therapeutic regime. In the golden age of conservation these accessory, supplemental and training ngencies will take se high a place in confi dence and esteem ns te reduce the need for medicaments te their minimum." LONG nge as n child I observed with wide-eyed amazement n rest cure my grandmother undertook under Dr. Mitchell. It wus in my merest childhood nnd in the very early days of Weir Mitchell's conception of the treatment. The very word w.i new. and nothing of the process was comprehended l.y the family or much believed in. se that the test wns probably net a fair one even for these less experienced days. In fact, the only rest part of it was the patient's king in bed. Family and friends drifted in and out of the room mere than usual, because the patient wns presumed te b in need of com cem piny, since she was deprived of her ordi nary activities. That ii.iiiicular patient eventually get out of her bed and about her room, but she never cared te tnl.e up the threads of life ngnin even te the extent of coming down stairs and being one of the family nt meals. She lived n delightful and en the whole n sympathetic life for the next twenty years, freed of all contacts that af fected her unpleasantly, nnd protected from physical jars of sights or sounds or smells or touch. In fact she prolonged her rest cure such ns it wasindefinitely or until she died. Rut she was never cured of anything but a desite te live neunnlly. I suspect under a lcglme. siieli ns the fchoel of Weir Mitchell new uses, the initial cure would have been fur mere tluslic imi' the nfter cure the bunging ihe patient bark te life far meic decisive. A';1 FTER all. the Important llunc Is nni te eed a rest cure. I was miking t.. woman nei long " who nas just undergone one. nnd she remarked that she supposed her ultimate recovery te complete health inlAht perhaps tnke ns long as her Illness. "Rut you vvere only ill a short tune, I thought. " some one remarked, "unless von count the rest cure your Illness." The convalescent regarded us palelv for s moment and then she said listlessly;' "I have felt this thing coming en for nt least three years. Sometimes I wondered I was net taken by force by you nil and shut up !" The majority of ill people of this kind cli net knew hew 111 thev ate. hewetci. and flout all warnings, which I fancy Is n part of their illness. , Gambling is net confined wholly te craps and cauls nnd heise-raclng. Very conscien tious men nnd women gamble with their health. Which Is only another wnv of av. Ing that one can commit suicide by doing enM thing tee much n dny. quite as' well ns with n rope or n belt strip nnd n hook In the closet. Only in one case you nre net given what is culled "Christian burial," nnd In the ether case veu urn given what it clergyman I knew calls "the benefit of the doubt." While there is much te Masculine commend, theughtfuljv Dilemma remarked Demosthene's McGlnnis. in the. nctien of the New Yerk police In forbidding women te smoke in public plnces, I hnve" no hesl hesl tatlen in condemning the Inhibition, which happily lasted for one nighj only, I hnte te see 'em srneke, but, drat 'em, Id be afraid they'd get hunk by taking steps te hnte men fet bidden le muoke in public places; for they seemed te be possessed of the i evo lutionary belli f thnt what Is sauce for the geese Is sauce for the gander.

Daily Talks With Thinking Philadelphia en Subjects They Knew Best LIEUTENANT JOHN STUCKERT 'On Hew Policemen .Are Trained THE days when nil that was necessary te get men en the police force of Phila delphia wen the recommendation of some politician have gene forever. New the applicants must net only be thoroughly trained, but nlse must pass a difficult examination, according- te Lieutenant Jehn Stuckert. in charge of the Police Training Scheel. "Every new member of the force," said Lieutenant Stuckert. "Is taken en three months' probatleu. Twe months of this are used in his training nnd then comes one month of actual service. At the end of this time it is known whether he will make a geed efficer: if it is decided thnt he will, he is taken en regularly, nnd If net he is dropped from the rolls. "At the training school wc gel from every man all the Information about himself which he can give nnd this is tabulated. "The recruits uie first taught the rules, regulations and organization of the depart ment, then the laws and ordinances, the various kinds of crime, election laws, the definition' of homicide nnd ether serious crimes, the ordinances covering permits nnd licenses, traffic regulations, patrol duty, evi dence, court procedure, city government, duties relating te fires and many ether things which they must knew thoroughly te become geed patrolmen. All of these subjects nrc lectured upon, and every Saturday morning nn examination of ten or mere questions is held in order that the progress of the icerult may be noted. ' "The physical Instruction Is just as com prehensive, including jujutsu, boxing, wrest ling, the handling of unruly prisoners, the proper raauner of breaking an opponent's 'held nml n mnss of ether detail which will enable the men te held their own In per sonal encounters. "In the afternoon there Is a drill, nt which the men enrry rifles in order that they innv have something In their hands. They are' taught the United States manual of nrms se that they niny leant te think quickly and tn obey spoken orders promptly. Each Saturduy. from 4 P. M. te midnight, each lecruit Is assigned te a district te de duty with a uniformed member of the force, who ads as his Instructor In actual patrol work. Much Heme Werk Given "As wc have only two months in which te turn out regular members of the force, it Is necessary for them te de home work every evening. This takes the form of ques ques tiens en matters in which they have received Instruction during the day and wc arc thus enabled te cliec'k up en the memory of the recruit and upon his ability te lcnru. "Sundays they nrc given police problems te solve and give their nuswers en the fol lowing dny. These problems relate le such things as a complicated murder case or an accident. "Each Monday morning after our loll call ten of the men are taken te the Detec tive Hureeu, te the iinc-up' that U the identification of criminals. They are shown the procedure of positive identification unci its Importance is Impressed upon them as well as the process of taking pictures and the Imprints of the finger-tips.
