is THIS THE END OF "WATCHFUL
WAITING"

[From the Philadelphia, Public Ledger. ]
Much as the people of this country
have shrunk hitherto from the pros
pect of physical Intervention in the af-
fairs of Mexico. they have long recog-
dents policy of "watchful waiting" and
are prepared for all the consequences
which must follow an assumption.
however belated-by their Government
of its responsibilities with respect TO
Mexico. There has been, to the honor
of the country, no general acceptance
of Mr.. Wilson's cynical declarations to
the effect that 1t was none of our con-
cern IL the MeXicans chose to butcher
one another, that Americans engaged
in business in that distracted land re-
NAMED there at their own risk, ana
could look for no protection from
Washington.
Now that famine and pestilence are
prevalent in Mexico. and 1T is plain to
all the world that no leaders have
arisen there capable of meeting the
emergency or of preventing the spread
of disease across the northern border
even the. Presidents vision has been
humanity for succor for the starving
Mexicans, coupled as it is with the sig
nificant declaration by Secretary Bryan
that this Government will have to
find a means to get this food into the
mouths of those who need it," can have
but one Interpretation. 1t means that
there Will be no more of the sort OF
'watchful waiting" which has fed the
flames of internecine strife in Mexico
and which has advertised to the world
the futility of our past policy.

UNLUCKY MOSES

Economy has its pains as we'll as
its pleasures" says Washington
preacher, IF the experience of an OLD
negro of my acquaintance counts for
anything.
"One Spring Moses was going
round town with the face of dissatis-
faction. When | questioned him, he
poured forth his troubles in these
words:
Marse Tom, he comes to me last
Fall and he says: Nose, dey's gwine
to be a hard winter, so you he keer-
full and save yo wages fast and tight"
And ! believe Marse Tom, yassuh
II believe him. and / save and save,
and when de winter come I amt got
no hardship, and dere l was wild all
dat money Jest thrown on my
hands. "-Philadelphia Record.

TIME jealousy of a Broadway
dancer has started move
- ment which BODIES no good
for the land of the night life.
When Bonnie Glass found that she was
in danger of losing her place in the af-
fections of AL Davis, wine agent, to
19-year- Eugenia Kelly, bankers s
granddaughter with million dollars
in her own right, womanly jealousy
bounded forward and brought revela-
tions which are likely to lead to lid
clamping in Broadway.
Though, after many defiant refusals,
the wayward Eugenia finally agreed to
return to her mother and be good, her
case is not forgotten in New York. The
story of her visits to cabarets and
dance halls has led to Investigations
and inquiries which in all probability
will result in action by State and Fed
eral grand turies. The case of Miss
Kelly has lifted the curtain on the
play of the real underworld. 1t has
called for the revealing of certain dis
coveries of agents of\the district attor-
ney's office.
Traffic in Wealthy Girls
These discoveries establish that in
the tango parlors and cabarets there is
well-defined white slave" traffic in
girls from some of the best homes in
New York; that gangs of men and
women, working together and with the
assistance of some persons of generally
good repute, make a practice of en-
snaring wealthy girls, or girls who will
be wealthy when they come of age,
and pluck them of their estates.
Young married women, careless or in
discreet, give these gangs ample
chance to levy the trade of blackmaif.
But the feminine good thing" in
Broadway is much less frequent than
that of the other sex. 1t is much more
common for wealthy men to answer
the lure of the bright lights than for
wealthy women. But, according to
the story of Miss Eugenia Kellys
mother, her daughter was one of the
real good things" Previous news
dispatches have told how the mother,
learning of her daughters downward
tread, and being unable to turn her,
was finally led to ask a warrant for
her arrest as an incorrigible child.
The bright lights got the girl, Mrs.
Kelly told the court, soon after she left
the Convent of the Sacred Heart
eighteen months ago. Since then, the
mother declared, it has been one tango
after another; the cabarets where life
runs fastest have known her daughter
well; diamonds and pearls worth thou
sands of dollars have disappeared; alb
sinthe and cigarets have replaced bon
bons as articles of the girls daily and
nightly diet, and 4 o'clock in the
morning has become the hour of re-
turning from drinking and dancing.
Usually she wasn't home before 4

SEEING PENNSYLVANIA FIRST

PENNSYLVANIA is the great pride
of Governor Brumbaugh and
as the apple of his eye is the
famous Juniata valley where he was
born and spent the years of youth and
young manhood. 1t is little wonder,
under the circumstances, that he is
determined that the great scenic high
way intersecting the State shall pass
over the hills and valleys that skirt
the Juniata river Nor is it surpris-
ing that he has determined to attract
the thousands of tourists who have
been spending their summers in New
England by making the highways of
this Commonwealth as substantial and
comfortable as those of Massachusetts
and the section of the Northeast.
Governor Brumbaugh has a keener
appreciation of the wonderful re-
sources and scenic features of Penn
sylvania than almost any other citizen
of the State. He is thoroughly famil-
lar with its history, its traditions and
it's achievements. Naturally proud of
its record as a great and imperial
commonwealth, ne leeIS IudL every :
thing should be done to place the State
in its proper relation to the Union and
to do this Immediately, making our
highways so easily accessible to the
innumerable touring parties that the
fame of the State shall spread wher-
ever these tourists go.
1t may not be generally known that
the Governor, Highway Commissioner
Cunningham and his chief engineer,
Mr.. Uhler. meet at least once a week
to talk over the affairs of a depart
ment in which the Governor is show
ing the greatest interest. He believes
that the people are responsive to the
highway program of the administra-
tion and it is his earnest intention
to bring about the cooperation of the
local authorities in the making of
modern highways.

Whatever the form of the curfew law
which may be finally adopted by the
City Council, it is certainto aid in reduc-
ing the dangers which surround young
girls and boys upon the streets after
nightfall. 1t will be up to the police
officers to see that young persons under
the curfew age are at their homes
within the time limit of the ordinance.
Many a girl and many boy can trace
the first false step to the influences
surrounding them in their early youth.
