do you dislike Mr.. Speed?"

him?"
"No, indeed! I like him-he makes
me laugh" Helen bridled loyalty

yesterday" the young man queried.
"Of course, and thought them
beautiful"
"How were they inscribed? He
wouldn't let me examine them"
Naturally. If I had trophies like

Fresno nodded, musingly. II gave

Snnrcmacr in the Making

NOTHING but n chronic crouch can keep
IN an American citizen from Joining in the
iubilation justified by the Government crop
report. A country blessed with such a boun-
tiful yield of corn and wheat and potatoes,
and other products of a kindly SOIL has
reason for thanksgiving for the time has not
gone by, even in an age of widespread indus
trial development, when agriculture has lost
its important function of protecting the
national welfare.
Agriculture not only furnishes food sup
plies; In many cases manufacturing itself
depends upon it for raw material The prin-
cipal grain crops this year were greater in
value than the predictions indicated, and
more valuable than ever before grown in the
United States; in quantity many Of them
were record breakers, and in yield per acre
some exceeded all previous marks.
All this is good news II comes when the
feeling in business circles is increasingly op-
timistIc; when manufacturers and traders are
casting off their lethargy and their gloomy
faces and making good their declaration of
commercial and industrial independence;
when the financial skies are clearing; when
courage and confidence have Joined forces
for new conquests when activity has taken
the place of more or less watchful waiting,
and when prosperity is not only in the air
but in the factory and the market place
This is the one great nation whose re-
sources of wealth creation are virtually
unmpaired; the one great nation which is
actually acCumulating wealth, It Is entering
upon the greatest era of prosperity in its his
tory, perhaps in the history of the world.
The opportunity is here and now; we are just
beginning to take advantage of it, and when
the war is over the nations of Europe will
need our products both of field and factory.
Their industries will be prostrated ours will

Union fractions Opportunity

+ TNIoN TRACTION stockholders owe
~ something to the citizens of Philadelphia.
They are receiving 1715 per cent. dividends
on their stock. an excellent return But there
is no captious criticism because the yield is
30 large. Philadelphia is not objectng.
Philadelphia, however, does expect that a
company which has prospered so greatly
through it's franchises should be kindly dis
posed toward the extension of transit facili-
ties. 1t asks sacrifice from the Union
Traction Company on the contrary, 1t
merely urges the company to reinvest, for a
limited number of years. half of it's large
dividends in the extension Of surface lines,
and per cent. interest on the money so re-
invested is assured. In addition, it protects
the Union Traction Company in its present
lucrative contract with the Philadelphia
Rapid Transit Company, for it insures the
latter against competition and practically
grants it a continuing monopoly of transit
rights in Philadelphia.
The Union Traction Company, on the other
hand, has certain vested rights. It's stock
holders cannot be compelled to invest their
money against their Will 1t is their privilege
to say yes or no. 1t is Just certainly their
duty to make their answer one way or the
other in the immediate future. They have
had ample opportunity TO-. consideration. The
urgency Of the new system is too great to
permit indefinite delay.
If the answer is affirmative Councils can
bind the city, and the appreciation of the
Public Service Commission alone will be a
preliminary to actual cons, uction. II the
answer is negative. Councils can go ahead
none the less, authorize the building of the
new lines and make other arrangements for
their operation. A splendid high-speed sys-
tenn, serving all parts Of the city, would not
have to wait long for operator. American
capital is not neglecting opportunities of that
sort.
The best solution. both for the city and the
Union Traction Company, will be participa-
tion by the latter in the program. There is
some reason to believe tla this view is max
ing headway among the stockholders.

War,s Toll of Creative Genius

DRoFEssoR CRET may or may not lie
i among the dead. The distinguished archi-
tect OF the University Of Pennsylvania may
still be at his provincial post IN southern
France, from which he last wrote to Ameri-
can friends. Or his body may be rotting in
shrapnel-swept trenches and he genius OF

If Professor Cret's fate is death, he is only
added TO the list-hardIy guessed at as yet-of
the men OF exceptional genius from whom this
war takes its toll Early in the conflict the
composer Maynard died defending his little
garden from the first 81 ep OF the Germans
upon Paris. Rumor has laid low the BARI

Labor Federation and Peace

LIVERY lover of peace will welcome the firm

the futility and immortality OF war given out
by the American Federation of Labor, now

tanned at far too high a price If the work.
ingmen of all nations were to set themselves
deliberately against warfare they could un-
doubtedly establish an era of peace Vast as
such project may seem 1t is not impossible
The movement must be universal in order to
be effective. Perhaps it has been left for
laboring men to accomplish what kings

have failed to bring about.

The Paradise of Brigands

TNHE situation in Mexico has grown into a
i disreputable squabble of Jealous generals.
All the fine patriotism of the men who called
themselves Constitutionalists Is bedraggled
and befouled. If it ever existed. Not one of
the leaders of the anti Huerta revolution,
upon which President Wilson pinned such
high hopes, is willing to subordinate himself
to the welfare of the nation.
Everything is patent now; indeed, 1t might
have been guessed, for it is nothing but the
threadbare story Of Mexico's past-the ex-
plotting of the government for the benefit Of
the governor. The country is sick OF It.
There is never a thought for the sufferings Of
the millions of people who have no part in
the imbroglio, and never a care for the future
of land naturally rich and productive.
Nothing matters except that Villa, or Car
rama, or Zapata, or some other semi-outlaw
or habitual brIgand shall hold the reins OF
power at the expense of the rest And the
ones who are shut out will form an alliance
to fight the one who gets in; then another
chapter of blood, rapine and anarchy.

REAL CAUSE OF THE WAR

To the Editor Of the Evening Ledger:
Sir-What is the real cause OF the war;
Well, we all have our ideas upon that, prob
ably, but the writer's, for certain reasons, may
be little different from the ordinary view be-
cause of little out of the ordinary view OF
some factors OF the matter. The autoc-
racy of Germany felt themselves confronted
with some very matter-of-fact facts: First.
Germany could hardly ever be better prepared
from a military naval point of view; sec
ondly, the opening of the Panama Canal must
certainly change trade routes throughout the
world; thirdly, within the Germanic peoples
was stir and unrest and discomfort with an
archaic form of government-every line OF
human effort was undermining but the line OF
government. Let us throw down the gauntlet
to our neighbors, seize the control OF the Pan
anna routes through our victorious navy, as a
fruit Of our last victories, make this an object
lesson to the masses that autocracy has proved
It's superiority over democracy. and thereby
save for ourselves our position" That is my
Interpretation OF the matter, yet do not wish
to appear dcgmatlc about 1t. SHON REA.
