The belligerents have been sur

and to permit an instantaneous and

to dispose of Great Britain at her

appointment to every one of these
expectations. The allies on the other
hand expected to bring Germany to
her knees within a short time; but
after year of strenuous struggles,

a treaty has been ilouted with Il wan

that its remote situation and its be-

to be so. The world may never again
imagine that man has ceased to be-
come a fighting animal and that wars
have, therefore, become impossible.

WARNING FOR PARENTS

n HISS ROSE LIVINGSTON, known
lVl all over the world as the
Angel of Chinatown" told a
West Chester audience yesterday that
she has rescued hundreds OF PennsvI-
vania girls from lives of shame In New
York dens OF vice. All of them were
young. Many of them came from in
land towns and cities. Most of them
were lured away by promises of work,
svod pay and a gay life in the metrop-
oils
There Is a warning for all parents
of girls in this One must wonder. If
q single welfare worker has been in
strumental in saving two hundred
girls from Pennsylvania, how many
hundred have gone to ruin without the
influence OF the helping hand. How
many young women have died the
deaths of outcasts in a world of shame
because their fathers and their moth
ers allowed them to stray into the
paths of danger?
The lure Of the vampire who lives
on the blood Of innocent young wo-
manhood is none the less real because
1T Is not seen in everyday life. To those
for whom ita traps are not intended

A "Goon ROADS DAY.

.DENNSYLvANIA is following the
example of certain western States
in establishing a Good Roads
Day" when men and boys of all ages
and conditions in life shalS get out on
the roads with pick and shovel and
contribute a days work to the better
ment of the highways. working under
the direction of the State superintend-
ents. supervisors and foremen.
Good Roads Day" is based upon the
old adage that the way to get thing
done is to do'it." The farmers and the
owners want good roads
and it is a pretty general observation
that they object most strenuously to
paying the price. Therefore. it Is only
reasonable Ito ask them to go out and
help do the road building themselves.
A vast amount of good roads work
could be done If every farmer and
every automobile owner in the State
would volunteer for bne days enlist
ment in the shovel squad.

SENSIBLE LEGISLATION

A LMOST everybody believes that
n the United States is 'overlawed."
1t is a common observation that
the nation would be happier and more
prosperous If Congress declared a
twenty-year vacation and the Legisla-
lures of the several States did like
wise. Probably that is going beyond
the truth trifie. but beyond question
we could get along very we'll with few
er laws. Law is a corrector of evil
only when it fits in with the popular
demand and meets an actual need.
There are hundreds of statutes on our
national and State law books that do
neither and they are either dead-let-
ters or worse.
1t is refreshing, then, in the midst
of this maelstrom of law-making, to
discover a bill before the Pennsylva-
mia Legislature that has exactly the
opposite for its purpose. 1t is design
ed not to create new law, but to wipe
several hundred useless and obsolete
statutes off the records. Here is a de-
structive measure of purely constrHe-
tive qualities. an apparent paradox
that other Legislatures and even Con-
gress might observe with credit to
themselves and profit to the people
they are supposed to serve.

REDFIELD's DEFENSE"

TINE fact that Secretary Redfield
feels called upon to defend the
Underwood tariff" in his speeches
is ample ground for the conclusion
that the Democratic administration at
Washington realizes the tariff will be
the one big national issue next year.
The more Mr.. Redfield insists that the
tariff will not be an issue the more the
public may be assured that it will be.
The louder Mr.. Redfield becomes in its
defense. the more certain it is that the
tariff issue is growing.
Mr.. Redfeld delivered another of
his TRADES yesterday against every
thing and everybody not in harmony
with Democratic policies and lauded
the Underwood law to the skies as
having given the nation, industrial
self-respect." But he said absolutely
nothing as to the results of the new
tariff from material standpoint. He
didn't even define just what he means
by industrial self-respect."
The Underwood tariff. as the public
was given TO understand, was designed
to reduce the high cost of living and
improve business generally. High
prices and a protective tariff went
hand in hand. we were told. Take
down the tariff wall and manufactur-
ers would be compelled to compete
with European products. Down would
come prices, the workingman's wages
would go twice as far as formerly and
the tariff "bugaboo' would be forever
laid. It all sounded very fine, and
there were many, laboring with the
everlasting and growing problem of
making both ends meet, who believed
and voted accordingly.
Now we are told by its chief ex-
ponent that the low tariff is successful.
1t has met all of the purposes for
which 1t was designed. has given US
''self-respect" and is responsible for
the prosperous conditions now pre-
vailing."
Either the Secretary is a consum-
mate joker or he entertains a ludicrous
and childnke belief in the readiness of
the American people to accept as facts
anything that a politician with a job
at stake stands ready to tell them.
The truth is that prices have not
been reduced by the Underwood law.
on the contrary, the cost of living now
is higher than under the Republican
tariff. A glance at this months grocery
bill as compared with that of three
years ago will prove it. If there be
any who doubt. On the other hand.
work has been less plentiful since the
enactment Of the new tariff law. In
stead of making importers of foreign
goods pay our taxes we are now COM
PEELED to resort to an income tax and
a special stamp tax to make UP de-
ficiencies caused by the losses incurred
through the operations of the Under
wood law. and even so the national
treasury is in such a deplorable state
that bond issue may have to be
foated to pay current expenses.
When Mr.. Redfeld next time feels
called upon to discuss the effects of
the Democratic tariff it might be we'll
for him to be a little less vociferous
and little more specific.

TN recent article, Elbert NJ. Gary
chairman of the executive com
mittee of the United States Stee
Corporation. dealing with the tenden
cies OF the time, said:
This is without question an epoch
Of indiscriminate criticism M9eh
cut warrant. In the last decade,
there has been more abuse. more
slander, more personal attack and
more demagogy and, as conse-
Quence, more injury to the general
public than ever before. The whole
country, from an economic and r
moral standpoint, has been greatly
injured by agitation. investigation
and attack, which were inspired by
improper II not dishonest motives.
No complaint of criticism, agita-
tation or investigation can reason
ably be made. provided the facts
call for it.. On the contrary. the
cluded should be and will be en-
larged. But circumstances seem 10
show that we are approaching the
time when the investigator VII pc
will be criticised; when committees
and commissions Will be brought
before other similar bodies for
judgment.
Mr.. Gary cannot be accused of per-
sonal feelings in his conclusions. for
IL there has been one big business
representative free from the criticism
that has been directed toward wealthy
men in general during the past few
years, the steel corporation head is
that man. Mr.. Gary has had wide
experience and possesses the rare
power of COUGHING popular opinion in
convincing language as his own indivi-
dual beliefs; which, by the way. is one
of the best evidences that he deserves
the leadership he has won.
II will be happy day, indeed, when
the false accuser will be brought to
book, when the "muck-raker" unable
to produce evidence to support his
charges will stand before the bar for
His type of false reform
er is the most dangerous influence in
the country. He is the advance agent
of anarchy posing under the banner of
law and order.
Too often the expose" of recent
years have not been actuated by desire
to promote the rights of the people.
but by the hope of political profit. Too
often laws have been proposed and en-
acted for purely personal purposes.
Too often the we'll meaning man has
been crucified to make political holi-
day.
Fortunately the period of this in
fiuence is passing. The public is be-
ginning to look behind the attack for
the object thereof. 1t is a good sign
when the people commence to ask
why" and to Investigate the investi-
gator" as Mr.. Gary puts it.
