FOR POLITICAL CAsUIsTs

Does the withdrawal of Mr.. Bryan
from the Democratic administration
withdraw from the Democratic ma
tional platform the resolution in favor
of a single term for the president; the
resolution declaring that the Democ-
ratio party is against the reelection
of any president? Bryan is supposed
to have put that resolution into the
platform Nobody else at Baltimore
knew much about its genesis and in
PRODUCTION into the party's code of
principles. What becomes of the
Bryan doctrine of one term only when
Bryan retires from official and re-
sponsible connection with the Demo-
cratic organization Does the one
term declaration go when he goes? Or
does 1t remain, as deeply craven as
ever on the tablet of the faith. Bryan's
legacy of high and unseffish ideals,
Bryans parting blessing and benedic-
ton to the chieftain he loves so well?

man character, just as it does among
the people of America. Some of our
best citizens are of German blood.
Some of our most treasured traditions
have much to do with Germany and
things German For the moment, the
Germany we have known and loved is
submerged beneath a wave of wicked,
murderous militarism that will bring
suffering to the German people, in
large measure unjustly, for gen.
erations to come. But that is no rea-
son for us to condemn the countless
good things that have come out of
Germany nor to deprive ourselves of
luxuries or articles of everyday use
simply because they bear the mark of
the Fatherland. To do so would be to
label ourselves smaller and narrower
than we care to think ourselves.

Toward the close of a long sitting

"On what ground?" snapped the
judge.
"I have been arguing a case all day
in Court B, and am completely ex-
hausted," explained the lawyer.
Very well, said the judge, well

Another lawyer rose and also plead
ed for adjournment.

TRUE TREASURY STATEMENT

DY most strenuous efforts to bring
Id in corporation and income
taxes on the last day of the
fiscal year. the Treasury Department
managed to get the books to show a
balance of $S2,O25,71S.OS on hand June
80. Three days later, at the close of
the week, Saturday, July 3, the bal
ance had dropped to $75,734,544,7S.
Two years ago, when Republican
laws and policies were in force, and
when no special effort was made to
make a showing, the balance made up
of the same items of assets amounted
to $141, 172,6S9,16. In three days of
the new fiscal year the ordinary ex-
penditures amounted to $40,
while the receipts were only s1,725,-
750.O5, leaving a deficit of $S,670,-
52463.
The new fiscal year began with a
deficit growing at the rate of more
than S2,s0O,0OO per day. But this
fact is not brought out in the treasury

STORY OF PENNSYLVANIA is
TOLDBYDR. THOS. S.STONEMARCH

HARRISBURG and its part in the
growth of the Commonwealth,
figure prominently in the new
ly issued History of Pennsylvania"
by DR.. Thomas Stone March, State
inspector of high schools.
The book, published by the Amer
lean Book Company, is a text book
for school childrep and while written
in such ready style as to make it
easily adaptable for the younger
mind, it will prove of inestlmable
value to the grown-up as we'll. DR..
March doesn't believe in making too
obvious an effort to impress the moral
of a subject upon his pupils. "One
of the chief reasons for the teaching
of history" says the writer in his
suggestions to teachers" is to make
good citizens. Too obvious effort to
bring the moral of a subject before
the class, however, will defeat it's
own ends. 1t would be better to as
sumo that the pupil has enough sense
to make the proper application, with
out putting too much emphasis upon
the subject"
While dealing of course with Penn
sylvania primarily, DR.. March's his
tory is written in such a way as to
show the relation of the keystone
State to the nation. Just how i'm
portant a part Pennsylvania did play
in the upbuilding of the country is
brought home to the student more
forcibly perhaps than most textbook

more is brought up to date, even to

New York, July 10. New
Yorks east side city within itself is
the aim of Harry Schlacht, who was
born and brought up in this most
polyglot community. Schlacht says
there is nothing wrong with the East
Side, which lies in the district bound
ed by the East river, Fourteenth
street, Third avenue and the Bowery,
and the Battery. All the East Side
needs, according to Sehlacht, is a
chance to live and thrive. Neighbor-
hood associations, and the right kind
of men at the head of them, will lift
this section of New York to a higher
level says Schlacht.
He is the superintendent of the East
Side Protective Association, which has
organized the little boys of that Sec
tion into juvenile police.

PROSPERITY FOR sHIPBUILDERs

T<HAT the preesnt war is the most
destructive to the worlds ship
ping of any conflict in history is
shown by a compilation just prepared
of the tonnage and number of ships
lost in the eleven months since the
struggle began. These records show
that down to the end of June over
500 vessels of almost 1,O0O,0 900 tons,
or about two per cent. of all the ship
ping in the world, have been de-
stroyed.
The greatest loss has fallen upon
Great Britain. The deadly efficiency
of the German submarine campaign
is shown by the fact that $40 British
ships of 100000 gross tons have been
sent to the bottom, almost all of them
by the undersea boats. The larger
part of the destroyed tonnage repre-
sents freight steamships of from 1900
to 10000 tons conveying foodstuffs
and war materials to British ports.
Germany has suffered much less Sc
verely, having lost thirty-four ships,
aggregating a tonnage of 100000.
Thus far the United States has lost
only five small ships, their total ton
mage being less than 10000. Three
of these-the Carib, Evelyn and
Greenbrier-were blown up by colIf-
sion with mines; one-the William p.
Frye-was sunk by a German cruiser:

A SON SPEAKS
TO HIS MOTHER

BY ELLA WHEELER WILCOX
Mother, sit down, for I have much to
say
Anent this widespread, ever-growing
theme
OF Woman and her virtues and her
rights.
I left you for the large, loud world
of men
When I had lived one little score of
years.
I judged all women by you, and my
heart
Was filled with high esteem and rev.
erence
For your angelic sex; and for the
wives,
The sisters, daughters, mothers of my
friends
held but holy thoughts. To fallen
stars
cor whom you told me in our last
sweet talk,
Warning me of the dangers In my
PATH
I gave wide pity as you bade me to,
Saying their sins harked back to my
base sex.
Now, listen, mother mine: Ten years
have passed
Since that clean minded and pure
bodied youth,
Thinking to write his name upon the
stars,
Went from your presence. He returns
to you
Fallen from his high altitude of
thought,
Hiding deep scars of sins upon his
soul,
His fair illusions shattered and de-
stroyed.
And would you know the story of the
fall?
The youth, forced into sudden man
hood, went
Seeking the lost ideal of his dreams.
He met in churches and in drawing
rooms
Women who wore the mask of inno-
cence
And basked in public favor, yet who
To find their pleasure playing with
mems hearts,
AS children play with loaded guns.
He heard
(Until the tale fell dull upon his ears)
The unsolicited complaints Of wives
And mothers all unsatisfied with life
While crowned with every blessing
earth can give,
Longing for God knows what to bring
content,
And openly or with appealing look
Asking for sympathy (The first
DllnQ step
That leads from wifely honor down
to shame
Is ofttimes hid with flowers of SYM
pathy.)
Mother, you taught me there were but
two kinds
OF women in the world-the good
and bad.
But you have been too sheltered in
the safe,
Old-fashioned sweetness of your quiet
life
To know how women of these mod
ern days
Make license of their new-found lib
erty
Why, 1 have been more tempted and
more shocked
BY bellies and beauties in the social
whirl,
BY trusted wives and mothers in their
homes,
Than by the women Of the under
world
Who sell their favors. Do you think
me mad?
No, mother; am sane. but very sad.
l miss my boyhood's faith in Woman's S
worth
Torn from my heart by good folks
of the earth.

lmopolitan Magazine for July.)

THE oRDuNA INCIDENT

NN obedience to this rule of the

to the United States in the at
tempt of submarine of the imperial
government to torpedo and then to
sink by cannon fire the steamship
Orduna. bearing as passengers twenty
one Americans:
Enemy merchantmen can be at
tackled only IL they refuse to sub
nit to visit after they have been
duly signalled to do so.
The captain of the Orduna is en-
phatic in his assertion that the first
intimation of an attack that anybody
on his vessel had was when they saw
a torpedo fired at the ship. others on
the steamer confirm this statement 1t
now remains with the German govern
ment to disprove their testimony, for
If the Orduna was not warned Ger
many must be held guilty of another
gross violation of international law
with citizens of the United States as
victims. 1t is not necessary to go into
details as to whether or not the ship
carried contraband or where she was
headed; all that matters Is whether or
not she was properly signaled. Very,
very much as to the future relations of
this country and Germany is involved
in this question.
