Eclipse of Caillaux

TN TIMES of peace, Joseph Caillaux, as
L Prime Minister Of France, could stage
himself as the central figure of a national
drama; in times of war. with the setting
ready for the appearance of hero, the same
Joseph Caillaux is shipped by the alley door
to far distant land.
When war makes its stern demand it is
for men. With pitiless disregard of Gus
tom, adventurous trappings and insignia are
torn away and the elemental strength or
weakness is exposed to view. The world
knows now that Caillaux was only figure
and his power nothing but a fiction; he has
been weighed and assayed-and cast aside.
or course he may dramatize himself again
in Buenos Aires, but 1t can be little more
than burlesque, More than at any time in
her long history France needed strong men,
brave men, true men and self-abuegating
men; France has found them, but Caillaux
is not of the number

Talked Sick

FTAHE country has been talked sick 1t has
i been fed on phrases until II has grown
lean through malnutrltion. But there Is al
ways talk and more talk. Instead of devot-
ing themselves to the performance efficiently
and well of present functions, practically
every executive officer of the Government Is
proposing new fields to be entered What
does Mr.. Burleson care IL It does take eight
hours to get a special delivery letter from
New York TO Philadelphia? 1t is the tee-
graph system that he wants to manage. AS
IS so often the case the thing a man is not
doing is the thing which he is sure he can do
better than anybody else.
The whole nation is crying for action. The
era is essentially constructive. II is time
10 push our horizon back further and further,
10 reach out, to plumb the depths of trade
and uniyersaliZe our commerce. All the world
looks to the United States, champion of arts
and industry. reputed to be the most practi-
cal nation the globe, and wonders why it
hesitates and powwows instead of getting
busy
For weeks It has been apparent that a
dozen new industries were seeking a new
habitat The least encouragement from
Washington would have led capital to in
vest. But not single bill has been intro
duced in Congress to assure moderate pro-
lection of such industries and the continu-
ance OF existing trade conditions following
the conclusion of the war. Capital will not
invest in dye works because 1t would be
profitable now when il knows that the sign
ing of a treaty of peace will bpen the trade
10 the cheap dyestdns OF Germany. There
are baby industries adopt and should
adopt. but the opportunity waits unnoticed
outside the Capitol
Our men of initiative, our men who believe
IN productive industry, must get busy. They
will find the county back of them in their
battle for restoration of common sense,
They win quickly discover that the nation Is
utterly weary of government by phrases and
experimentation, that it is waiting for lead
ers who will do things and do them in a big
way. Abraham Lincoln, give us man."

! ENtNANCE COMMITTEE Of Councils is
4 more ignoring than ignorant. II ignored
the claims Of Germantown and Chestnut Hill
for adequate police protection, would do
nothing to carry out the terms under which
the Chief of the Bureau OF Gas was engaged,
and the new Housing and Sanitation Dfvi-
sion, which the Legislature ordered, was
passed over as If IL were Of no more impor-

mittee. Cities do not stand still They pro-
gress. and the way they progress is by assldu-
Gus care and protection OF residents. It took
long time to get water instead of mud
and water for Philadelphia. and q patient
public endured much for years before it's
trolley surface became something more than
a disgrace. Ameioration OF conditions in
the tenements is quite as necessary to the
well-being and growth of the city as sub

anything else.

Of the Finance Committee, there remain the
courts. They will have a voice in determin-

of last appeal namely the people themselves,
They at least know what they want and how
to get it.
Although the great cities of the world have
demonstrated with absolute exactness the
benefits accruing from a fair housing law
and our new housing law is one of the best |
ever written, some OF our Councilmen rate
the intelligence of their constituents so low
that they argue the advantages of bad hous-
ing, and actually advance the thesis that the
poor are better off without bathtubs than
with them. The Legislature did not think
so, and there is the law on the statute books.
It stands out like beacon light. Nullifca-
