te difficulties there indicated te prove In

an agency of Velsteadlsm.
Mr. Rotan doesn't overstate the case.
His prosecutions must be based In almost
4ffery instance en evidence obtained by the
municipal police. He has no police force
of bis own. There arc twelve detectives as
arfgned te special duty in his organisatien,
but they have their hands full of routine
work related te criminal cases of a serious
art.
The Wener law or any ether State en
forcement act can, therefore, be no mere
effectual thnn city police and detectives de

upon a political bnsls, nnd since, politicians

It will be presumed by some people that
tfc police and their detectives and their
auperler officers should feel morally bound te
work as hard at dry enforcement as they de

rach an assumption seems far fetched when
you remember that there is evidence en
almost every hand te indicate that the poli

deals fei-med te evade and defeat the Vol Vel

The Velstead law, if It is ever te be mere
titan a pretense, nnd n rather futile pre
tense at that, will have te be enforced with
grim determination by the Government
itself. There is at Washington an apparent
disposition te view prohibition as something
of a' joke. Otherwise Congress would ap
propriate funds sufficient for a sterner en
forcement of the law. Tli at is what Con

THE LEAGUE IN SOCIAL WORK
SECRETARY HUGHES' reply te the re
quest for the .signature of thin Govern
ment te the white slave convention drawn up
by -the last assembly of the League of Na
tions is friendly and sympathetic.
It is pointed out that the United States,
while approving the purposes of the agree
ment, must withheld its participation be
cause' of conflicts with the regulations of
ertaln States of the Union. If we hed be bo be
ceme a partner in the League the same ob
jection would have prevailed and would
doubtless have been accepted by the asso
ciated nations.
Mr, Hughes nlse stresses the fact that
veral of the objects sought in the conven
tion have been gained in the United S'tntrs
by .acta of Congress. Indirectly, the League
is thus encouraged te proceed with a work
anticipated by a non-member nation.
But the practical accomplishments of
the League along lines of humane endeavor
cannot be accurately forecast. It is Inter
esting, however, te note tliut prevision of
the covenant regarded by skeptics an vision
ary are being taken seriously and that an
attempt is being made te deal with formid
able social problems by International co
Operation. LLOYD GEORGE AND GENOA
MR. LLOYD GEORGE'S refueal te con cen

LEADERS ARE CONSPIRING
TO SEAT THE PRIMARIES
.If They Can Bring It About the Voting
In. May Will Be a Uieleia
Formality
THE Republican leaders arc rushing up
nnd down the State nnd holding con
ferences In this city and Pittsburgh In a
feverish effort te beat the primary system.
They envy the Democrats who have
already beaten It.
McSparran Is the only Democratic can
didate for the governorship te be voted for
at the May primaries. He was selected at
en Informal convention attended by volun
teer delegates who were convinced that If
the two factions of the party could step
fighting each ether they hnd n chance of
success In November. Se a handful of men
and women assembled in Harrlsburg, looked
ever the possible candidates and decided
that McSparran had the best chance of
winning.
New the Democratic voters arc te have
the rare privilege of going te the polling
places en May 10 and ratifying the nomina
tion already made In a pre -primary.
It Is net surprising that the politicians
favor the primary system. It s."wcs them
a let of trouble. All they have te de Is te
-have a little conference among themselves
and agree en the ticket. The voters then
are graciously permitted te give It legal
ratification and the names are tben printed
en the ballet te be voted in November.
The death of Senater Penrose has left
the Republican organization without a
leader. If he had been alive he would hove
listened te the various suggestions of the
little leaders and then would have said:
"Se and Se Is the best man. We'll agree
en him." And they would have agreed.
The orders would have gene forth te the
county lenders te support him and he would
have been nominated.
But new thcTC is no one te say: "Se
and Se is the best man. We'll ngree en
him."
Vare nnd Grundy and Magee and Baker
and Sproul and the rest have their candi
dates. Each Is hoping that he can per
suade the ethers te accept his mnn. The
Governer has suggested two or three dif
ferent candidates, but none that he has
named has satisfied the ethers. Vare is
talking Mnckcy, eniT Baker is backing
Iiciaieman,.and Grundy has trotted Fisher
out, and Magee has been willing te support
the Vare candidate If he cannot get the
Vares te support a Pittsburgh man.
And Plnchet, without nny big leaders
back of ,111m, Is planning te put the primaries
te the test. He has thus fnr resisted every
effort te persuade him Je withdraw In the
interest of "harmony"; that is, in further
ance of a plan te make the primary nomi
nation a farce.
The primaries were urged, as everyoene
knows, as n device te break the power of
the bosses nnd te put the selection of candi
dates in the hnnds of the voters. It was
assumed that candidates would announce
themselves nnd that, in the exercise of their
wisdom, the voters would cheese the one who
best represented the cause In which they
were Interested. But sophisticated observers
said that no such thing would happen, that
there would be a pre-primary at which the
leaders would select the candidates and that
there would be no longer the opportunity
for a fighting candidate with n solid delega
tion behind him te break the organization
sldte in a convention and secure the nomi
nation. This Is the way it has worked out. Even
when there was an anti-organization candi
date who would net retire, the organization
has divided the opposition vote by arranging
for two or three mere fake opposition candi
dates, while their followers were instructed
te vote for the man agreed upon. Se with
a minority vote they have wen.
It has net occurred te the leaders te let
the voters decide who shall be the candi
date for the governorship by having all the
aspirants run In the primaries. They de
net want te take their chances In nny such
gamble. They would rather make n deel by
which they can agree en one mnn who shall
run against Plnchet, nssumlng that I'lncliet
Is te stay In the race, for they will get
mere out of such a deal than they could
hope for from the cnndldatc who defeated
the man they were supporting.
As next Thursday is the last dey for
filing nomination petitions, a desperate
effort will he made te come te some agree
ment before that day ends, because the met
thing the little bosses desire Is a genuine
free-for-all primary election, In which the
voters will de the nominating.
And paradoxically enough, that sort of an
election would premise less te the people
thnn If a hnnd-plcked candidate should be
MiiMiiittcd te them In May. In a free prim
nrj Reidleman or Snjdcr, backed by the
party workers who knew wlmt .Snyder nnd
Beidlemnn would de for them, would stnnd
n better chance of polling a plurality than
.some ether candidate who Is net in close
touch with the "boys" nnd docs net under
stand the language which they speak.
It Is a pretty situation, In which the
public geed Is subordinated te giecd for
power nnd selfish pntrenage.
COLLEGE JOURNALISM
THE Pennsjlvnnla Punch Bowl Is net the
only college publication which has
caused n mood of tremulous resentment In
ultra-conservatives. Other undergraduate
publications have been clashing with facul
ties whose members profess te see In them
tee many evidences of Ingrewing fllppnncy
and Irreverence for the established moral nnd
social order.
But why should the Bowl be criticized?
Why should any beard of uiidergruiiiiatu
editors be compelled te see their brnin chil
dren suppressed and put away forever In the
darkness of college cellars, away from the
appreciative cje of man? The Punch Bowl

stage. Much of it is intended for the tired
business man and the tired business woman.
The artists and writers who seek te be fash
ionable nnd rich seem te feel that they must
be smart or starve. 'Their aim In life, If one
may judge by-their work, Is te amuse and.
divert 'their public. They shun serious ques
tions as they would shun n smallpox sign.
They appear te have ceme te the conclusion
that the larger part of the American public
doesn't want te be bored with serious dis
cussions and that It does want te be enter
tained, and. that you con entertain It best
by shocking It ever se slightly. Naturally
college publications of the lighter sort take
their tip from successful editors.
THE STRIKE'S HUMAN SIDE
MOST of the people who live In cities
never saw the source of the coal that
runs their' trains, keeps their electric lights
burning, supplies their water, takes them te
and from work, cooks their dinners and
warms the houses in which they live. , They
have only the vaguest notions of the miner's
life nnd the processes of his labor. And
they have gradually come te feel that the
miners are a rather hard let, easily in
flamed, "foreign" and disposed te be radi
cally aggressive in their attitude toward the
public and the bosses. This impression is
due te the continuing signs of economic un
rest in coal fields nnd te the superficiality of
the public 'discussions which break out when
ever n new walkout of coal workers is an
nounced. The simple fact is that, while the type
of mine workman will vary in different re
gions, the anthracite miners in the Pennsyl
vania regions might properly be regarded as
a particularly steady and conservative tot of
men. They are net aliens In the ordinary
sense. The traditions of the Scotch, Welsh,
Irish nnd English miners who opened up the
Pennsylvania fields still persist llke the
descendants of many of these most admirable
men te steady the newcomers und keep
them mindful of their duties as citizens.
Hungarian and Poles, Czcche-Slavs an,d
Russians have poured Inte the cenl regions
during the last twenty or thirty years.
Their migrations have been Inspired largely
by the cool interests nnd before them the
Welsh, Irish nnd English miners have shown
a tendency te retire and proceed westward.
In Colerado and California you will now
adays find some of these pioneers or their
descendants. But it has always been notice
able that the Hungarian or the Pele or the
Russian in the mine country is n superior
type. If he had been afraid of hard work,
If he had been merely shrewd and lazy, he
would have remained in the cities.
Seme of the best of the new population Is
te be found In the mines. They are sturdy
men, ns n rule, and hard working. And they
take te the unionism of their predecessors
as seen ns they learn the English language.
The public schools take their children, who
usually grew up with an essential Interest in
baseball, nn American outlook and a desire
te "get something te de outside the mines."
That desire is uppermost in the minds of
their parents, tee.
It is te the credit of some of the unions
that they often have schools of their own
for the adult workers, with traveling lectur
ers whose job it Is te teach Americanism te
the newcomers and get out of their heads
any belief that they may have had In theo
ries of violence and direct action. As a
whole, coal miners ere a' dependable class
of men engaged In a particularly perilous
sort of work and eager only te live in the
decency which the American environment
teaches them te seek. In the West Virginia
fields, where some of the bitterest labor wars
have been fought, the miners are nlmest ex
clusively of native American stock.
It may be well te remember all this If
some one tries te convince jeu thnt the
present coal strike Is a movement of "Reds"
anxious te upset the present economic sys
tem or even n system of government. Mr.
Bernh, speaking en Saturday in the Senate,
said he had figures te prove thnt the aver
age coal miner In the United States earned
only a little mere than $700 In the lust
year. And most miners have families te
support.
TWO PLUCKY PORTUGUESE
THE rapidity with which a marvel may
become a commonplace is exemplified in
the comparatively slight popular Interest in
the nttempt of two Portuguese aviators te
fly from their native country te Brazil.
Commander Reade and Alcock and Brown
captured the dazzling laurels of pioneers.
There Is a tendency today te regard subse
quent efforts te cress the Atlantic by air
plane ns autlcllmactlc.
Nene the less, there arc admirable aspects
of courage and skill in the current exploit of
Captains Coutlnhe and Sacadura. The
flight seems te have been well planned, nnd
the fact 'that Its initial stages have been
void of sensationalism is mere a tribute te
their efficiency thnn a reflection upon their
daring.
Se far ns Americans are awnre, the first
lnp of the journey from Lisben te the Ca
naries was unaccompanied by romantic fea
tures save these Inherent in the feat itself.
The second stnge begun en Sunday Is SKI
miles from Las Pnlmas te the Cape Verde
Islands, n Portuguese possession.
After a call there the real test of endur
ance and nbllity will be made. While the
distance 1300 miles te the Ibland of Fer Fer
naneo Noronha, off the northeast coast of
Brazil, net far from Pcrnainbuce, Is consid
erably less thnn the route from Newfound
laud te Europe taken by Alcock nnd Brown,
It is nil thing but a crowded steamship lane.
In the event of mishaps the chances of rescue
nrn far inferior te these en the North At
lantic. With n little reflection, there should be
few thrills left in Hiking note of this ad
venture, even in the jeur 1022.

Stories of the Centennial? Scores of
them I
JOSEPH R. HAWLEY, president of the
United Stntcs Centennial Commission
he was net Director General had been nn
officer in the Civil War, Governer of Con
necticut and wns a Senater from Connecti
cut when he was chosen te the position
named.
A. T. Goshern, of Cincinnati, was the
Director General.
Confusion has arisen te such nn extent
as between these two officials that they are
frequently referred te as the "two Directors
General. '
I am greatly mistaken If the same error
docs net arise in the future In connection
with our Sesqul-Ccntcnnlal.
The commission appointed by Governer
Sproul has elected Themas Bobbins presi
dent. J. Hampton Moere has been elected
president of the Sesqul-Centennlel Asso
ciation of Philadelphia.
Loek out for mix-ups 1
Particularly, when te these offices has
been added that of a Director General.
MT PAID admission te the Centennial
a. grounds en mere than a hundred oc
casions," said Mr. Ilallewell.
"One of the most Interesting features of
the Weman's Building, te which you re
ferred recently, was the newspaper edited
and published In all departments by women.
"It wns considered a marvel in these days,
particularly as the news gathering nnd edi
torial work, the type-setting nnd presswork
were done entirely by women," Mr. Hal Hal
lewcll continued.
"My mother, Mrs. Sarah C. F. Ilallewell,
was editor of the paper. It was called the
New Century for Women."
Parenthetically, I might say that Mrs.
Ilallewell subsequently und for many years
was associated with William V. McKcan
as one of the editors of the l'um.ic Ledeek.
The popular name for Senater Hawley
In Centennial days was "Hely Jee."
It will be recalled, even by Phlladelphians
of recent years, that Senater Hawley sub
sequently married a lady who at the time
was superintendent of nurses at the Uni
versity Hospital.
Here is a story, with , comments, which
Mr. Ilallewell tells at the expense of Sen Sen
aeor Hawley :
T RECALL with great distinctness that
A President Hawley jammed through the
Centennial Commission a resolution te have
the Centennial Exposition closed en Sun
days. "That was what earned htm the sobri
quet of 'Hely Jee.'
"The hypocrisy of his net was very shortly
manifested when the members of the com
mission and the various committees discov
ered that Senater Hawley, en successive
Sundays, wns admitting Inrgc parties of his
friends te a private and personally con
ducted view of the exhibition."
Then Mr. Ilallewell outspokenly observed
as follews:
"I sincerely trust that no such nonsense
shall be exhibited in connection with the
coming Sesqut-Centennial Exhibition.
"I strongly urge that a movement be
started right new that the exhibition of 10110
shall be open te the public en the first day
of the week, commonly called Sunday.
"Further, I would urge thnt no charge
for admission be innde en that day.
"A Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, I observe, at a conference the ether
day, urged that the Sesqul -Centennial he
closed te the public en Sunday.
"It's n vital Issue. It should be immedi
ately taken up, dlscusbcd and decided."
DR. EDGAR FA1IS SMITH, as scientists
the world ever knew, is president of the
American Chemical Society.
When he retired ns head of the University
of Pennsylvania Inst year it was announced
that he did se thnt he might give himself
te the pursuit of the science te which he
had devoted a great part of his life.
New comes the Year Boek of the Carnegie
institution of Washington for 1022, which
tells some facta ubeut Dr. Smith's recent
work.
He is making a study of the alkali tung
states. Fer a long time te come he will be en
gaged In this.
It holds a keen Interest for investigators
of celumblum, tantalum and tungsten and
their derivatives.
IT IS one of the most baffling, elusive and
Interesting te analytical chemists of
pursuits.
Dr. Smith has established the definltcncss
of several of the salts.
In the past, empiric formulas that Is
formulas net based en a scientific basis
have been used In representing them. Dr.
Smith is deducing formulas based en discov
eries of the constitution and behavior of
these derivatives.
In ether words, wlint has largely been
guesswork In the past Is being developed
into facts by the distinguished scientist.
It mnrks a reformulation of the bodies
being studied In this department of chemi
cal research.

NOW MY IDEA IS THIS!
Daily Talks With Thinking Philadelphia en Subjects They
Knew Best
MRS. OSWALD CHEW
On Weman's Overseae Service League
THE Weman's Overseas League Is con
sidering the gift of a building te the
Jeffro Institute for French War Orphans,
according te Mrs. Oswald Chew, president
of the national organization as well as of the
Philadelphia unit. Mrs. Chew bes just re
turned from a trip te France.
"Part of my mission in France," said
Mrs. Clmv, "was te leek up the Jeff re In
stitute for French Wnr Orphans, te which
our organization is thinking fit giving a
building. This, If carried out, will take the
form of a memorial te the American women
who were killed evcrsens, and the building
will be devoted te the use of little Ircnch
girls who were made orphans by the war.
"One of the buildings of the Institute In
which from sixty te eighty boys are being
cared for was given by' the Cuban Red Cress.
The Institute Is undoubtedly accomplishing
a great work among the war orphans, but
it Is in great need of money, according te
the head of the Institution, who explained
its purposes te me and showed me some of
the things which are being done.
French Sensibilities Hurt
"Te any one who makes even n brief so
journ in France, it is very apparent that
the feelings of the French people have been
greatly hurt by what they consider the
somewhat Indifferent attitude of the Amer
ican people. They feel thut we consider
them n militaristic nation, whereas they
consider that they are only guarding their
rights, nnd thnt It is absolutely necessary
for them te take the steps which they have.
Personally, I cannot see anything mili
taristic about France.
"Thev also feel hurt ns a nation thnt we
did net' sign the Peace Treaty nnd thnt we
did net join the, League of Nations. They
hnve never bcen able te understand this
feeling en the part of our people, but
it is almost impossible for one nation fully
te understand the nttltude of another, espe
cially In matters where the Interests of both
nre vitally concerned as they ure lu these
matters.
"They feel furthermore that we should
have entered into the Genea Conference, and
they consider that after the war had closed
we have exhibited a tendency te resume the
Isolated position among the mitieiiR of the
world which we formerly took and main
tained. Charities Net Continued
"Many of our charities which we for
merly maintained upon n large scale hnve
either been discontinued altogether or are
running upon a greatly rejduccd basis. The
Fatherless Children of France organization
iu nn examnle of this. Formerly this wnx
n tremendous organization which was giving
assistance te nbeut .100.000 children. It has
gene out of existence altogether and France
herself Is unable te de very much In assist
ing the little ones, as the country has suf
fered from the wnr in a manner quite In
comprehensible te theso who have net seen
it with their own ejes.
"Many of the mothers of these children
have remarried, it is true, but the statistics
show that one out of every five widows
made by the war has died slnce its close.
There nre new nbeut MW.OOO war orphans
In France, and of these about 400,000 need
niil.
"Tim Fatherless Children of France or er or
gnnlznten had en Its lists nbeut 150,000
chtldrenlwhem It was helping when the or
ganization was disbanded. There were
30,000 benefactors in this country, nnd te
each of these the society sent a clrculnr
nsklngithat they continue their aid if It were
in enyswny possible,
Many Unable te Continue
t'OfJthe HO.OOO persons te whom circulars
were cnt, only about fJOOO replied. Of this
numWr .MM) renewed their subscriptions,
whlcU has meant that Jir.00 of the war or
phan are again receiving the help which

AbeA 1200 ethers sent assistance direct te
the children and the rest who replied sad

nail been delay. Many persons in
Si! JPI'W'Wal --- - -
te nothing like the extent te which England
and the Continent have suffered.
"Many of the 300,000 war orphans which
the Fatherless Children of France organiza
tion was helping have passed beyond the age
limit nnd are new taking enre of themselves,
and, as I said, many of the mothers 55
per cent te be exact have remarried, and
thus their children are being cared for.
Nevertheless, there are still a great many
who need assistance.
"It ' is estimated by the Fratcrnite
ine-Amcrlcalne that there are at least
50,000 4r 00,000 who need help badly. The
situation is becoming worse instead of better,
and It has been complicated by the unem
ployment problem nnd ether .economic diffi
culties. Anether distressing situation Is the
amount of tuberculosis which has developed
among the young. Fifty -five per cent of
the patients of the dispenserles for con
sumptives nre wnr orphans. The Fratcrnite
Ji rance-Americalne, which is nn organlzn erganlzn
!" inJ",0 we,,ncn who have given service
-!?.f0.1D10; ,B (,.eln n " cnn t" help this
situation, but the demands are far beyond
their resources.
The National Convention
"It may be possible te take up some of
these matters at the national convention of
i1e)1umiV,?v.e.r8eB8 Lea8"e. which will
nw nf Ushln?ten en May 1 nd 2.
Ihcre win be a big mess-meetlng among

we hope. Lady Aster, will speak. One of
the things which we hope te accomplish at
the convention s a national charter from

"Our oigauizatien includes nil the Amer

All of our units are vitally Interested in
the welfare of the veterans, eaneclaliv thn
wounded ones, in the cities where the un

A Reserve Organization
"One of the particular reasons for the
organization of our society is that i might
