George i Elliott. : I SATURDAY; FEBRUARY 15, 15)19 i THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS THERE appears to be a vital weakness in the constitution of the proposed League of Nations as latd down by President V/ilson yesterday in that clause j which provides that the members of i the League pledge themselves to limit their armaments, wltile Ger many and Russia, outside the League, may pile up armament upon armament without leave or hin drance, So far as can bo seen, there to \ provent these two j bullies among the nations, these outlawed countries, to say nothing of Austria, from doing precisely as Germany did before. They are not bound by any agreements. They can | build armies and navies to their! hearts' coAtem and nobody to say J theny ....... But, it may be said, the members, of the League may enlarge their! armies to a degree sufficient to j guarantee self-protection. Very well, then, what becomes of dis armament with the League compet ing with Germany or Russia in order to preserve the military bal ance? With the object of the proposed organization there can be no debate, but as to how it would work out in actual practice Americans must be permitted to have their doubts, and there appears to be much difference of opinion as to whether or not the League as outlined has the approval of the citizenship of the country. We have stood apart from European politics so long and national isola tion has been such an important principle of our underlying diplom acy that we must be excused if we do not thro.w it overboard without a thought or two as to what its aban donment will mean. The President has been the chief sponsor of the league at the Peace Conference, but, as was demonstrat ed at the last elections, the Presi dent is no longer the spokesman of a majority of his countrymen. The next Congress, which must pass upon the peace treaty and approve the League of Nations, if we are to go into the organization, will doubtless have something to say on the sub ject. It is not at all certain that the new Senate will vote to make the United States army a police force for the settlement of every dispute that shall arise in the years to come among the quarrelsome people of the Balkans or other European states. Nor Is it clear, at first glance, that the other provisions of the league con stitution are all as workable and as desirable as the President be lieves them to be. it is well that Mr. Wilson announced the proposed constitution- before his re turn from Europe. If will give public opinion time to crystallize and he will be In better positioij to Judge the temper of the people and of Con gress before he goes back, if a mind so arbitrary cares for such enlighten ment. OPPORTUNISM DEMOCRATS In Congress are gradually realizing the dangers involved in the policy of wholesale internationalism advo cated by the President. A few days ago Senator Weeks, of Massachusetts, introduced a resolution calling upon the De partment of State to inform the Senate what steps. If any, have been taken to Yequeet the British Gov ernment to modify or suspend its embargo, which has been so injuri ous to American trade and indus try. Senator James Hamilton of Illinois, found it necessary, because of protests from his con stituents to back up the Weeks resolution, as also did Senator Hoko smith, of Georgia. Smith declared ♦bat "while we are expressing our SATURDAY EVENING. rood feelings toward the people of all lands, we must realize that the first duty of a government is to its own people." And yet the Democrats in Con gress have remained silent while the President is committing this na tion, or "attempting to commit it, to a policy of internationalism in which the interests of our people will be subordinated to the supposed wel fare of the rest of the people of the earth. Under the proposed pol icy of internationalism it will be for the people of other nations to determine what is best for the ma jority. and we must gracefully sub mit or be placed in the position o repudiating an agreement. Republicans are for Amer ca First" all the time. The Democrats ►are for "Internationalism ll " s • I except when some local interes o their constituents impels them o make some specific protest a„ain some local injury. And so it 'was in dealing with the tariff. Repu i i cans were for protection to a American industries, in all sec ions of the country. Many Democra s were for protection where it e P e their peculiar interests, but hey were for free trade as a general principle and put the present ree trade law on the statute boo s. Democrats are for Nationalism when some local Interest causes their constituents to appeal to tnem in large numbers, but they are or Internationalism as a general pnn ciple and will back up the Presi dent in surrendering coinP c American sovereignty to the un known powers of a League o • - tions. That is the difference be tween Republicanism and Democ racy. . HOMES FOR WORKERS he conference on housing sit the Penn-Harris yesterday de veloped that fact that even those who most recognize the need of improvement differ widely in their views or are admittedly at sea as how best to solve the complicated problem. Just how we may proceed to lift I the poorest of our poor from their miserable surroundings is. indeed, a question that is of shamefully stag gering proportions, so grossly have we Ignored the function of provid ing proper homes for all our peo-! pie. But a good beginning can be made by getting a housing bill through the legislature, with teeth sharp and strong enough to nip painfully the real estate shark who is trying to make miserable hovels pay him twenty-five to thirty per cent, a year in rentals, regardless of the health and morals of his ten ants and of the evil effects upon so ciety in general. The objection will be raised that by so doing we will force the tenant to pay rentals which he cannot af ford. There is more foolishness than fact in this oft-repeated asser tion of those reactionaries who pro fess to believe "that housing is a mere question of supply and de mand and must be left to solve it self in each community," to quote one of the largest real estate holders. The small house can be built with ample light and air, and with prop er facilities for decent living almost as cheaply house to which no attention is paid except that It shall have a roof, floor and sides. But if common, unskilled labor can not afford decent homes, then there is something wrong with our whole system, for certainly it must be ad mitted that every good American,, whatsoever his abilities, is entitled to live in comfort and in wholesome surroundings. Society for its own protection must come to a realiza tion of this fact. The Bcplshevist is not developed in respectable homes where contented people reside. He is a creature of the slums. Remove the slum and Bolshevism will have no nesting place in America. The Legislature has a big op portunity before it in this respect. It can compel cities to do what local authorities, for one reason or another, refuse to do. It can write on the statute books of the Com monwealth mandates against real es tate profiteering at the expense of thousands of helpless people. It can enact such laws as will make our cities fit places in which to live. Right here in Harrisburg there are conditions that are well-nigh intol erable. Our housing evils were re sponsible for the high death rate from influenza here last fall. The disease first began to manifest itself where housing conditions were the worst, and rapidly spread to all sec tions of the city. The epidemic was no respector of persons, but the fact remains that where the living con ditions were poorest the death rate was highest. There is apparently no remedy outside of State regula tion. Tho Legislature has not hesi tated to make the employer provide safe and healthful Conditions for his workers, and Jierj- properly so. It cannot consistently hesitate to legis late so that the homes of these I workers shall be as sanitary and as Inviting as the places In which they I earn their daily bread. The President continues to get pa ternalism mixed up with patriotism. ' CHERCHEZ LA FEMME THE rapid promotion of General March, our chief of staff, from colonel to genernl in less than | two years is now explained. He was j the brilliant chief of the expedition that captured Aguinaldo's wife. If it is finally determined to have an international police force. It is to be hoped It will not be built upon the Pennsylvania third class city model. I >MJUctU By the Ex-Committeeman jj About the Capitol it is generally regarded that Governor Sproul's re mark that he did not think that tho State primary system should be changed except in regard to the nonpartisan judicial system means that few of the numerous election law changes in hand will be even reported out of committee. Tho compulsory voting bill is meeting with opposition from rural members, who contend that some times it is impossible by reason of Wfather or pressure of farm work for farmers to vote, while there is a disposition to go slow on changes which would | be more advantageous to cities than smaller communities. tine of the bills which is favorea is that from Senator .Marshall Phipps for a change in the corrupt prac tices act which would relievo candi dates or treasurers of committees not receiving any money and not making disbursements from necessity of til ing statements. Every year formal statements have to be filed by can didates who either do not spend a cent or less than $5. Expenditures under SSO need not be filed in detail. The name of Dr. C. J. Marshall, state veterinarian, now in United States service is being mentioned for a change in the department of agri culture. —The Philadelphia Press says ed itorially:—"Senator Knox gets a Presidential boom from his neigh bors in Pittsburgh by whom he is personally best known. Nobody can guess what the situation will be a year hence, but if the contest in the national convention is to be one of favorite sons—and that now looks probable—Pennsylvania will have a favorite son who measures up to all the requirements, and we shall not tamely consent to be forever penal ized by the party on account of pur great Republican majorities." —Mayor E. V. Babcock of Pitts burgh has gone to Florida to join his father, aged 85, who has been there for soome time convalescing from a recent illness. The Council men at Pittsburgh, agreed not to pass important legislation for a week or so. Under the law bills passed by Council become law in ten days without the signature of the Mayor, consequently ordinances to which the Mayor might be opposed could be passed and become effcctivte dur ing Mr. Babeock's absence. It was for this reason he asked the Coun cilmanic Finance Committee not to take action on legislation which he ought to have an opportunity to pass opinion upon, and the commit tee readily acceded to his request. Considerable thought is being giv en by members of the Legislature to the problems attending revision of the constitution and there is no question but that Governor Sprout's plan for a commission to make a study and recommend revision is very popular. There are some ambi tious members who have been sub mitting bills for commissions to make studies, for elections and for holding a constitutional convention without waiting until the governor makes up his mind. During the coming week the governou and at torney general will decide upon the scope of the constitution changes. If the constitution is to be changed in the Sproul term the convention* will be provided for in the legislation to be drawn up by the attorney gen eral. The governor has not yet In dicated how he' feels on the subject. —Governor Sproul's statement on the Kooser appointment to the ju dicial vacancy in Somerset is taken to be notice to factions in various counties to get together before they come to Harrisburg seeking appoint ments. There are counties where every suggestion is sure to be an tagonized and the governor evidently thinks such matters should be com posed before they reach Harrisburg. Probably he means to give a gentle hint to people in Philadelphia who are agitating charter revision and third class city law discussers. —The fact that Idaho abolished the direct primal y was not lost on legislators who remained here for the week end. Discovery by Clearfield county legislators that the Alexander bill to increase salaries of judges and reported out by the House judiciary general committee, was amended in committee to leave out their county has caused some stir here over the week-end. Originally the bill al lowed counties having more than 90,000 population to share in the raise. The amendment makes 100,- 000 population the limit and Clear field with 93,000 is left out. The Brady bill, which provides increases for the Judges of the appellate and Philadelphia and Allegheny courts is still in committee. The Alex ander bill affects only counties be tween 100,000 and £OO,OOO popula tion. " Alexander's bill would raise to slo,doo the salaries of the Judges in Luzerne, Schuylkill, Westmoreland, Lackawanna, which are now in the 38,500 class; Berks, Fayette. Lan t-aster, Washington, Montgomery and Cambria now in the SB,OOO list" Blair, Chester, Erie, Lehigh. North 1 umberland, York and Northampton now in the $7,000, while other dis trict salaries would go from $6,000 to $7,000 and Clearfield stays at $7,000. Dauphin county would rank with York and Northampton and its judges get the additional compen sation allowed for handling state 1 cases.

He takes it for granted that Ocvei nor Sproul's opposition to legis lation doing away with the primaries finally disposes of that proposition. He is iiuite us certain that the hill repealing the non-partisan law relat ing to the judiciary will go through, and he states that the abolition of the whole non-partisan plan eouid be accomplished if the third clas3 cities would agree to it. A majority of the third class cities will not advocate legislation which would moan a return to tue old party contention. The correspondent takes up the aigument ot those who insist that the non-partisan law has not been productive of good administra tion and he says that * ing that better men could be seouied If party responsibility were re-csiab ""•fhere is nothing to bear out this argument of the repeal advocates.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Shall We Have Sunday Shows To the Editor of the Telegraph: A cry for this and more has gone forth in a bill Introduced into the State Senate. Just about the same time a paper in a neighboring state prints a ringing editorial entitled, "Our Sunday Shows." They have been trying the scheme out and the editorial calls on the ministry to "get out in the open, roll up their sleeves, and cry aloud." What is the matter with ''our great country anyway? and with the leadership which the ministry of 100 years ago exercised? We believe that in the necessary em phasis that has been laid upon the separation of church and state we have been very largely led by the arch deceiver of mankind to imagine that we must separate religion from politics, and that out of this has sprung the shrinking of the min istry from playing the true man's part in the political world, giving advantage to the enemy. In other words, "the Prince of this world" has led us to act as though we must practically shut God out of political affairs. If God is God we dare do this only at our peril. He is the most real personage In the world and His law the only unerring law; and It is binding on every man whether he acknowledges his re sponsibility to obey or not. j The cry for Sunday shows of any i sort is never backed up by any ref j erence to God's claim upon His own j day, but only for the gratillcation of I selfish appetites and desires of a | purely bodily or mental character, Las if that? was all there is of Mart, j The needs of the REAL man are f ne\er referred to. j Arguing for the bill referred to, ! the Public Ledger insidiously says, j "This bill goes no farther than the j legislation of harmless and educa ) tional entertainments, music lec | tures, etc.—on Sundays." Of coufse jit does not say that a thing that I may be "harmless" and even "edu j cational" at one time may not be harmless on another. We know this well when it comes to the body. Warm rolls are beneficial under health conditions, but have been known to kill a sick man. Since the Creator set the Sabbath apart at creation as His own in a peculiar sense, and at the giving of the Law on Sinai thundered "Re member the Sabbath day to keep it holy," It Is what He has to say i about it tliat must concern both the private citizen and the law-maker, and not public opinion or public clamor even. Public opinion is a dangerous thing unless moulded by His righteous law, as witness Aaron and the golden calf. Our country will never be "safe for Democracy" until we recognize that Almighty God is the very first person to be consulted in all legislation and that the political party that will not give Him proper recognition Is not a party to be trusted with the reins of government. In view ofwhat God has done in the Great War Just coming to a close, it is incumbent upon the Min istry of thq King of kings to sound the trumpet calling men to this po sition. We must not blind our eyes to the fact that it was this drifting away from God, trampling His day underfoot In "the Continental Sun day," and letting the will of man governmentally: supplant the will of God, that brought the recent catastrophe upon Germany and through her upon the whole world and us In It. We must not blind our eyes to the fact that, as a nation, wc have been drifting fast in the same direction. If we continue to "drift" it will be only a matter of time until we drift upon the break ers. Further eneroachme'nt upon this Day should be resisted both as a patriotic and a Christian duty.

Bravest Are the Most Modest To the Editor of the Telegraph:, * In a late Issue of The Telegraph, the 13th, I was very much inter ested and exceedingly attracted to Mrs. Lula A. Hartvveli's, reply to one "Ann Clark Urmston." The very complete in Its self and so fully covered the ground on any thing. 1 could say on that partic ular subject that it is entirely un necessary for one more word to bo added except to say that I fully endorse her sentiments on the mat ter in every particular. As a child 1 was always very patriotic and a great admirer of our beloved Lin coln as well as all truly great men of their day, and if we stop to con sider it is only the truly great after all who never seek for notoriety or display but are the most humble and unassuming, and remembering our late lamented American Hero — Theodore Roosevelt—that way as I understood—he requested to be laid away after death with no display, reminds mo forcibly of the funeral of our late Brevet Major General Galusha Pennyp'ackcr (jvho was confirmed a U. S. A. brigadier and brevet major general at the age of 22 years), a friend of our family and at whose funeral 1 attended about two years ago. He requested a simple affair with no military display, disappointing his many G. A. R. friends who were there, but. when, just before his casket was carried ouf (on its way to laurel Hill cemetery) it was draped with a fine large silk flag of his country, my disappointment was somewhat abated. He was the youngest gen eral of the Army of the Potomac, having entered in his nineteenth year and at Fort Fisher, where he received his terrible wounds and suffered for over fifty years, living with his "orderly" and one servant, retired from the outside world, as it were, and never wanting to speak of his-bravery or exploits—uncom plaining and comparatively little known except Iji the wonderful 97th Regiment. And yet this youngest, bravest, most modest and the most courteous of great and good men, born in the historic locality of Val ley Forge—in a house occupied by our illustrious Washington during a portion of the time his troops were encamped in that vicinity, and where so many privations were en countered and hardships endured, calculated to impress the very soil With fitting influences for the nur ture of Tuture patriots. MRS. G. U. CHAMBERS. Advises Getting Together [From the Pittsburgh Dispatch] Sir Robert Hadlield, head of Had. field's, Limited, the great steel con cern of Sheffield, England, has Just issued a pamphlet in which lie tells his fellow British manufacturers in all industries that If they vvtil, listen to his advice and follow his lead they will get around many economic obstacles at present blocking their several paths. Sir Robert is discuss ing the labor situation in Europe, and after patriotically regretting the threatening nature of the case, ven tures to inform his colleagues among the manufacturing industries that if they will meet their employes in the right spirit the demonism in the present problem will be laid. The Sheffield steel master remarks .that one does not need to be a wage worker to know that industrial em ployes have not been dealt with just ly in Great Britain. This opens the way for his second leading remark that the time seems to be hero when the industrial worker must be given a square deal, and that the easiest and quickest—and best way, in his opinion—is for manufacturers and workers to get together and talk over their case. The result, he pre dicts, will be an agreement which will satisfy both sides at least for the time. Then Sir Robert offers his ad vice. The common answer of man ufacturers to the current demands of industrial workers is that British industry cannot stand up under the terms demanded. The answer to that, he replies, is in the practice of Hadfleld's. Limited, which for twen ty years , have been operating prac-. tically under the identical terms asked for at present by British la bor. He offers to give all the facts and processes to any manufacturer who is in doubt or who has made up Ms mind that the conditions can not be met. In conclusion. Sir Rob ert suggests that manufacturers and employes in all Industries join in a request to the peace conference founding the society of nations to tnc'udo In Its constitution figures for a maximum work day and a mini mum wnge srnle to be onerative the world over. This will take out of all controversies the question of hours of labor, leaving only the matter of ae.tunl dollnrs and rents to be dis cussed. As an exnorent of advanced liberalism 4n Industry. Sir Robert seems to have no serious opposition In England. I FEBRUARY 15, 1919. BOOKS AND MAGAZINES Bonl & Liveright, publishers of the popular Modern Library are offering a substantial prize for a design that will be udoptod by thein for the lin ing paper of the books in this series. This competition is being advertised in the various art journals, and the Judges are J. Herbert Duckworth, artist and correspondent of the News paper ' Enterprise Association, Louis J. Bdche, an artist who was recently in the Camouflage Department of the United States Navy, and Horace \ Liveright. All designs are to be de livered before March first. Further particulars regarding this corapeti ticn will be supplied by the publish ers. How many people know that the "words of "On the Banks Njf the Wa bash" were written by Theodor Dreiser? A groat many lnterest'ng things about Dreiser's earl, life, his apprenticeship as a newspaper re porter, his experience in editing magazines, etc., will be found in his new book "Twelve Men" which is to be published by Boni & Liveright in March. This book is not a collection of short stories or sketches, but something entirely new. It is a colorful, dramatic panorama of real life. The twelve men are real iigures In American life and many people will guess whd they were and are. A recent announcement from Toki > draws attention to the fact that one of the most read books on political subjects in Japan is "Principles of Constitutional Government," by Frank J.

The author, an authority rn international law, has taken for dis cussion many sides of his topic: The South African Union: Federal Govern ment in Canada; Federal Government in Australia; Federal Government in the United States before the Civil War, being some of the themes on which he lias discoursed in "Princi ples of Constitutiona 1 Government." Francis Bowes Snyre, whose new book, "Experiments in International Administration" is one of the new Harper publications, savs that the main reason for the failures of past leagues of nations is founded essen tially upon injustice. "The * peace settlements of the past." ho says, "have all been founded 011 purely selfish interests, whether dynastic or national; and they have had as their end in view the guarantee of specific territorial arrangements Either tha:. the guarantee of international justice and law i 8 general principles to be impartially applied.
