Tragedies of the Commonplace

TIME great dramatic moments of life do not
i ordinarily take place in earthquakes and
shipwrecks. Nor are the tragedies of normal
existence confined to mon-d dollar thefts
sudden death and bloodshed. The great
American play must deal with problems that
confront every man and woman declared
Miss Helen Ware the other day through the
columns of this newspaper Miss Ware cited
the domestic debacles which result from ex-
travagant living as being the basis for mod
ern tragedies of Shakespearean calibre
The time has assuredly come when the Sc
rious dramatst should eschew medieval
romance and tragedy for the even greater
romance-and tragedy--of present-day life
How can the imbroglio of 10Th century
kingdomette compare with the colossal drama
of our national finance and commercial war
fares? The great drama, the trenchant mu-
sical comedy, the apropos sketch-satire must
deal if it be in the spirit of the times, with
themes familiar to everyday life, as intimate
to every man and woman knives and
forks, soap and water. necktes and hairpins.
- u is the small things Of life that are Of
prodigious Importance. A fly in the coffee
may poison the nectar of love. 1t is not i'm
possible by any means to imagine the bland
compacent husband addicted 10 his evening
newspaper, whipped to a truly Shakespearean
thirst for murder by the bridge or euchre
obsessed wife pesterins him nightly to play
a game. The egg cooked q minute too long
daily and the neglected laundry persistently
lacking buttons might readily bring bliss
full couple 10 the divorce court, and the want
of kitchen or general economy drive an
exasperated husband TO the saloon, the club
or the use OF. a concrete club; or even murder.
One of the leading suffragettes in America
10 her and ThanCa
20 become an exponent Of miIitancy, by her
husbands failing 10 agree with her in regard
TO the rights Of labor unions! Certes,
comedy material worthy Of a modern Aris-
tophanes, or the highest flights of Bernard
Shaw or George Cohan!

Tear Down the Black Flag

TIME country will not fail to appreciate
i where Pennsylvania stands if Penroseism
is repudated and Doctor Brumbaugh Is iri-
umphantly elected. 1t will he message TO
the Union that the Keystone state is per-
meated with devotion to Republican prin-
ciples and her ideals imbedded in a morality
that cannot be bought or sold. Every nope
of Republican rehabilitation is fixed on the
Pennsylvania campaign. This is the crucial
state, for here it is that discreditcd leader
ship is making its final stand for vindica-
tion. with the disruption of Penroseism
the last of the parasites Will be torn loose
from the party body 1t will at length he
free: free to grow, free to breathe, free to
absorb inviEorating elements, free to fight
as the young giant once fought before, for
a great and vital economic program. Penn
sylvania is the only state left with a black
flag nailed to the masthead of the party
organization, and Pennsylvania is going to
down

THE OLD FLAG
BY III. C.. Bunner

off with your hat as the flag goes by,
And let the heart have it's say!
You're man enough for a tear in your eye
That you will not wipe away.
You're man enough for a thrill that goes
To your very finger tips.
Aye, the lump just then in your throat that
rose
Spoke more than your parted lips
Lift up the boy on your shoulder, high,
And show MIN the faded shred,
Those stripes would be red as the sunset sky
If death could have dyed them red.
The man that bore 1t with death has lain
These twenty years and more,
He died that the work should not be in vain
OF the man who bore ii before
The man that bears it is bent and old
And ragged his beard ana gray
But look at his eye fire young and bold
At the tune that he hears them play.
The old tune thunders through all the air
And strikes right into the heart.
II it ever calls for YOU, boy, be there
Be there and ready TO start.
off with your hat as the flag goes byl
Uncover the youngsters head!
Teach him to hold 1t holy and high
Bor the sake OF the sacred dead

EN&CTS will be fighting on the side of the
Eastern railroads when, next month, they
20 before the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion to renew their petition for freight rate
advances. If before they could make a
strong showing, they now can make
brilliant one. Their case is substantially
fortified.
A year ago the main difficulty that con-
fronted them was the high cost of capital,
resulting from unsatisfactory net returns.
That is the main difficulty today; but mean
time the cost of capital has mounted even
higher Not only have net revenues dwindled
because of a shortage in import and export
traffic; not only have interest. in general,
traffic; not only have interest rates, in gen
eral, risen but market for the sale of new
securities is now non-eXistent while upon
the reopening of the New York Stock Ex-
change foreign holders of American rails are
likely to flood the market. Higher freight
rates point the obvious way out of this
dilemma

FRANKLIN's FIRST NEWSPAPER

To the Editor of tho ErcninO Ledger:
Sir-Philadelphia is veritable treasure city
for relics of early American literature. Any
one not afraid he may meet the ghost of one
of the Rdgway family can see In the great
library down Broad street original issues Of
the press here, like Bradford's Mercury (our
first newspaper Franklin's General Magazine
and many more. A librarians card on one Of
the old-time publications reads something like
this:
This is the first number of Ben Franklins
newspaper. 1t shows that the newspapers Of
early times were just as modest as they ara
today"
That card Is misleading. for the old-time
publication is the first number of Samuel
Reimer's paper, the Universal Instructor Of
All Arts and Sciences and Pennsylvania Ga
zette. This paper came out on December p
172S, and ran for three-quarters of a year, and
was sold to Franklin &c Meredith for small
sum about August, 1929. Franklin cut off the
'lTnivcrsal Instructor line of the heading and
called the paper simply the Pennsylvania
Gazette.

Too Big a Price to Pay

TXTHEN men Of the stamp Of Mckinley and
w Dingley wrote tariff bills there was no
doubt of the country's devotion TO the pr.n-
ciple Of protection. The nation wants pro-
lection now, but thinks, and rightly thinks
that Penroseism is too big price 10 pay for
II. Pennsylvania can pauperize the party in
the rest of the nation If it wishes hy elect
ing Mr.. Penrose, but nowhere else do men
believe that progress can be made by back
stepping. An ambassador to Washington
who represented motley elements ot organ
ized corruption instead Of the people Of
Pennsylvania might talk loud, but ne would
talk vainly in the Capitol. There IS a Chinese
wall between rhe millions who want protec-
t!on and protection itself That wall Is Pen
roseism and until II Is battered down the
free traders will continue their experiment
tations at Washington.

A Professor Describes a Machine

A Professor Describes Machine"
DOsS1BLY Professor William Milligan
i Sloane in lecturing before German stu
dents at Berlin and Munich on Party Gov
ernment in the United States" had Penrose-
ism in mind when he said: where the or
gani2ation Of party is known as the ma
chine both place and money bribery abound
and the slime of the serpent is on every po-
the hearts of the men and women concerned,
the people who set up and work the whole
machinery of life. The fountain cannot rise
above its source except by artifce: there are
times and places where party machinery be-
comes so foul that it is clogged and stopped"

New Words in An Old Language

VXTHEN, in his study of science, a man
w achieves something which is new to the
world, ii often happens that his name is
attached for all subsequent time to the dis
covery which he makes or the theory which
he formulates. The name Of Copernicus thus
becomes adjective in reference to the
Copernican theory. The name of Darwin ac-
quires a suttiX in discussions of Darwinism.
The name of Pasteur is perpetuated in
verb, 1t is likewise in philosophy, in politics,
in religion, with such terms as Hegelianism,
Lincolnian craftsmanship Christianity. a
man who makes great contribution to the
worlds thought and the worlds history rep
resents some idea or principle or achievement
which is SO distinctively his own that perhaps
the language appropriates his name for its
special purposes.
Sometimes, however, there is nothing COM
plmentary in this pathological recognition.
To speak of a Machiavellan proposal for in
stance, is not to praise either the proposal
or MaChiavell- The gerrymander is not itself
in good reputc though the word has a def
mite and useful meaning Another word Of
similar origin, one which is we'll understood
all over the country and even elsewhere, is
Penroseisn. So much for future fame

The Primaries a Vain Hope

The Emperor of China assumed terrific

II Is not a matter Of record that the sun

of Third and Porter streets had just been
sold by the city for more than $4,000, 1t
instantly occurred to me that that was only
a little less than a third of the total value of
the realty owned by Girard in old Passyunk
township at the time of his death.
Girard was one of the first men here to
realize the worth of realty an investment.
There had been land spectators before him
in the field, of course, but he was cautious
and unlike Nicholson, who, at one time, had
an ownership in about one-sixth of the State
Girard, for the great part, had his holdings
in Philadelphia. His ventures outside in
cluded his coal lands in Pennsylvania, which
are still very profitable, and other land In
louisiana
He left to the city for the support of his
wonderful college for orphan boys some of
the most valuable land in the central part
of the city. 1t is true that pieces of this
property, owing to the changes of business
centres, are not now profitable as they
once were, yet those properties in the neigh
borhood of the river, as Grard understood,
never can cease to be of value so long as
we have any commerce at all.
