lust a Wreath for His Bier

NNE Of the makers of the West died when
" Colonel william r. Nelson. editor of the
Kansas City Star, breathed his last. He was
journalist of the highest type. He believed
in making his newspaper serve the public
He was not mere money maker, willing to
sell himself to the highest bidder. He was a
patriotic citizen who devoted himself, first
10 making Kansas City a better place in
which TO live and then to improving pollti-
cal and social conditions in both Missouri
and Kansas. AS his paper was published on
the border OF the two States, he had to serve
the two communities. How much this acci-
dent OF location had to do with broadening
his ideas his hiographers may estimate. But
at this distance II looks as IL he had been
originally a man broad enough to take the
whole Union into his scheme OF betterment
He must have looked with gratihca tion in
IN HIS later years upon the new West which
he saw about him, in the making of which
he had shared Both Kansas and Missouri
are better because OF him, and It would take
a long time to tell what he has done for his
own city, So we place this wreath upon
his bier TO let those who knew him at home
understand that he was known and appre-
elRted here where Benjamin Franklin, one of
Americas first and greatest Journalists.

PARCEL POST IN THE COUNTRY

residents in the daily delivery OF mail to them,
and the facilities for the prompt dispatch OF

facilities to be had at postofiees. the material
benefits which rural delivery has brought to
the rural residents are incalculable. Subserip-
tlons to newspapers, both local and metro

are thereby kept advised OF daily market quota

greater regularity, and with less wear and tear
on wagons and stock. Since the advent Of rural
delivery, there has been nothing which has
given greater impetus TO the good-roads move
ment than the extension OF this service
The rural delivery service has been a great
boon to the rural population Before It's estab-
lshment there were days and weeks when be-
cause OF stress Of work the farm. stormy
weather or other conditions, the farmer was
unable to make a trip 10 the postofice, and
had to do without mail which means that he
was without knowledge OF what was going on
in the world.
The exchange OF letters, receipt OF newsba-
PeTs and other publications. the transaction OF
money order and registry business and now the
parcel post all through the rural carrier. has
worked wonders in making the farmers busl-
ness more profitable and country life more at
tractive The saving to the rural residents
through the operation OF the rural delivery
system, II It could be calculated, would run
into the hundreds Of millions OF dollars.
The rural delivery service now embraces about
5000 routes. covering over 100000 miles OF
roads and serving approximately 2O,oOo,OO0 per-
sons. Through this great system the farmer
receives and sends out his letters. gets his

Allentown Sets the Pace

ALLENTOWN silk dyers, instead of going
n to Washington to ask the Government to
help them get German colors, have been
solving the dye problem in their own labo-
ratores, and it is reported that they are
ready to produce all the dyes needed in their
business. This is the kind Of enterprise ex-
pected in America and 1t IS gratifying to
learn that 1t is manifested in Pennsylvania.
This State produces about third of all
the silk woven in the United States. New
Jersey produces another third. and the rest
is woven in half dozen other States. Allen
town is one of the largest silk-producing
communities in the world, and 1t Is there that
one would naturally look for originality and
initiative in the conduct of the business.
Colors and fabrics and fashions are origi-
mated there, and often initiated elsewhere.
The cotton and wool dyers who follow the
example Of the Allentown silk men will
have no time TO spend in making complaint
because the war has shut out the German
dyes, for they win be busy making dyes
of their own

Democracy's Merry Masquerade

CECRETARY BRYAN as the chief actor
~ in the affair at the Adelphia last night
in honor Of Thomas Jefferson and Woodrow
Wilson, was more entertaining than was ex-
pected. With a serious and sober face he
announced that I'VE have a President who
is using the force of his great personality
to make the Government square with the
ideals of Jefferson"
The height of comedy was reached when
Mr.. Bryan, the apostle of free silver and
imitation, attempted to defend the Democracy
as the friend of legitimate business and the
enemy only of lllegitmate business. OF
course, the Democracy is opposed to illegit-
mate business. The grievance of the ma
ton against Mr. Bryan and against the
Democracy as a whole Is that he and it have
treated successful business as Illegitimate.
There is not a great commercial centre in
the country where the Democracy is not dis
trusted With some notable exceptions the
Democratic leaders are men who know moth
ing of the methods of large business enter
prises. and many OF the statesmen who have
been passing the laws for two years come
from small communities where the common
belief Is that which Mr.. Bryan was preaching
a few years ago, namely, that man cannot
make million dollars and be honest.
The Republican leaders do not have to try
TO make 1t appear that the business of the
country cannot be trusted to the Democracy
To attempt to prove It would be like trying
to paint the lily or to gild refined gold.
Yet the Democracy will persist in this line
of argument and praise Mr.. Wilson as a
great Democrat worthy of denomination and
reelection. But Mr. Wilson himself must
be aware that II Jefferson was a Democrat
then he. with his Endorsement of paternalism
run mad, must be called by some other name.
To call the Democracy Of today the friend
OF business is no more Inexact than to say
that either Bryan or Wilson is a Jeffer-
nnninn

In Contempt of Law and Sanitation


/ THAT tenements accessible to sewers
L should be connected Herewith Is not ar
unreasonable requirement The city does
not spend millions to construct sewers
merely for the convenience of those who
/ wish to avail themselves OF the privilege.
The city has sewers because sewers are
requisite to the health Of the community,
and every house without sewer connections
is a menace to public health. There Is
scarcely a small town in the nation that
has sewers which does not compel the use Of
them.
But in Philadelphia we are sagey told
that such a requirement is drastic, that the
owners Of tenements cannot be expected to
go to the expense Of making connections
THE health Of the city be damned We
want our profits"
Yet this objection, unreasonable as It is,
has as much reason behind it as any of the
other objections to the 1918 law made by the
opponents Of good housing. There seems to
be feeling that there is money in herdng
people together, wherefore any objection to
the practice must be howed down; IL there
is law to prevent 1t, that law must be
nullihed; If the courts intervene, let the
Legislature stultify itself by condoning and
approving the defiance Of its enactments by
Philadelphia Councils.
Mr.. Connolly and other Councilmanic gen.
temen Of the opposition who were invited
to attend the conference yesterday, at which
some sort OF compromise measure was to be
formulated. as suggested by the Governor,
did not attend or even answer their invi-
tatons. Mr.. Connolly says that things are
all right in his part of town and the people
are satisfied with the habtations they have.
Doubtless there are people in Mr.. Connelly's
district who are easily satisfied, but there
are great many more who prefer health
to sickness and think that a three-by-four
window in a living room is not a luxury.
The facts are plain. The callous Indifference
Of Organization politicians is evident What
ever they may say, they stand convicted
of opposing improvement, Of battling against
decent housing. of favoring insanitatlon Of
preferring the profits Of tenement owners to
the health of their constituents.
Let them rave and trick themselves with
their conspiracles of nullifcaton. There is
a real Governor in Harrisburg and a militant
public opinion still existent in Philadelphia.

The Kaiser Rushes to Austria's Help

TERMAN reinforcements are being rushed
VI to the Carpathans with all possible
speed 10 check the Russian advance into Hun
gary, and Francis Joseph is not to be COM
PEELED to do his fighting alone. Perhaps
the reason for the sudden interest in the fate
of the Austrian armies may be found in the
rumors OF an Austrian desire to make an in
dependent peace. But whatever the reason,
Germany Is rushing men TO the rescue. And
the reports that the Kaiser himself has
been on the scene OF the fighting to
courage his men and to impress on them the
Importance of stubborn resistance to the
Russian invasion.
Some one bundered or the Kaiser's pres
ence would not have been necessary. 1t
should have been easy for the Austrians,

passes But some one overestimated the
strength OF the defenses or underestimated
the vigor of the Russian fighting men. But

ground, with Russia 20 miles within the Hun

approaches from the north for 70 or so miles,
