l want to tell you a story about
some Irish friends of mine, father
and two sons, who live near me. One
of the sons had just got a good job
that day on a new building. He fin
ished his days work and met the
foreman. He asked him how he liked
him. The foreman said: you are the
best workman 1 have on the build
ing" On the strength of this the
young man said to the foreman:
"Say, I've got a brother over home
who is just as strong as am. Do you
suppose you could give him a job?"
The foreman said: Eyes, bring. him
around with you in the morning."
The next day he brought his broth
er to work. After the day was fin
ished they both went to the foreman
and one of them said: How do you
like us after you have seen us work."
The foreman said: "You are the two
best men we have on the building"
One of the boys said: 'We would like
to get our father job" The foreman
said: 'Ts he as good a workman as
your" ''He can do as much work as
both of us. Can you give him job?"
they replied. eyes, tell your father
to come to work tomorrow morning
and you two fellows stay home"
answered the foreman.

The President for Honorable But no other
Kind of Peace

The President for Honorable But no Other
Kind of Peace
MR.. BRYAN's statement Of yesterday Is
Ifl 80 lacking in timeliness that considera-
tion Of the arguments advanced would be
waste Of time Mr. Bryan should have re-
signed before the first note was sent II he In
tended to resign at all. There can, Of course
be no withdrawal from position deliberately
taken. Mr. Bryan knows that Nor Will 1t
be possible easily to forgive man who IN
the very midst OF crisis, with no excuse
except that he has withdrawn from his
employment, takes the public into his con-
adence and reveals the intimate discussion
previously held in the Cabinet
There s, however, some satisfaction to the
country in the thought that there are n ie"
men about who do their own thinking. Mr.
Bryan It appears, does not change his opin-
ions as the crowd yelps
The President is quite as devoted to peace
as Mr. Bryan is. But he knows there can
be no peace by humiliating acquiescence IN
whatever outrages another nation may care
to launch against us He will have peace
by insisting on our rights; Mr.. Bryan would
have peace by surrenderinE our rights,
There will be no war, in the general accept
ance Of the term. We might almost as well
talk of battling with the Martians We have
no army to send to Europe and Germany has
no army to send to America. The gun has
not been invented that will shoot across the
Atlantic. There is no enthusiasm for war
evident.
curt refusal of our demands would mean
the adoption Of measures to vindicate our
rights. If Germany will not stop the sub
marine outrages against us, we can stop
them by conveys. We can strangle her
economically while vitalizing day by day her
foes. The cards, to that extent, are all in
our own hands,
It would be we'll for the people to be calm
and repose every confidence in the President,
who has never shown to greater advantage
than recently. If peace can honorably be
preserved, he will preserve 1t. If friendly
relations must be broken Off he will dedicate
the nation to a course certain to uphold our
prestige although it bathe no communities in
blood and scken no people with unutterable
anguish.

UlHERE is doubt all over the United States.
j save in certain circles in Atlanta. that Leo
NJ. Frank is guilty of murder. The courts
that have reviewed the case since the jury
found its verdict have considered only the
technical questions involved in the admission
OF evidence and in the removal of the accused
from the courtroom before the jury an
nounced it's findings. The adequacy Of the
evidence on which he was convicted has not
been reviewed, unless the Georgia Board OF
Pardons, which was asked to recommend the
Communication of the death sentence to life i'm
prisonment. considered this important phase
OF the subject. The board has rejected the
plea for Communication But it's decision does
not AFFECT the facts in the case.
II is within the power Of the Governor to
overrule the Pardon Board. He doubtless be-
lleves that II is more important that justice
be done than that Frank be hanged a week
from Tuesday. II he should commute the
death sentence It would then be possible TO
free the man in the event OF the confession
OF the other suspect or suspects, or on the
discovery of evidence generating Frank.
But II he is hanged and It should later ap-
pear that he was innocent, no reparation
could be made Those who have been follow
ing the case are hoping that the Governor
win exercise clemeney in the interest OF ulti-
mate Justice.

Business Craftsmanship

TEToRD comes from Chicago that Illinois
w manufacturers have been looking
askance at the offer Of contracts from Rus
sia because the Russians are unable to pay
spot cash.
That is not the way to develop our foreign
trade in the great crisis in international COM
merce. 1t is necessary to finance not only
Russia, but China and South America, If we
are to get any considerable share of the busi-
ness of the future. We have already lent
money to some OF the warning nations with
which to pay for munitions, But those ma
tions borrowed the money before they gave
the orders for the goods
The commercial statesman is the man who,
when orders come from a nation which has
not the money. will go out into the banks
with his prospective customer and help him
raise funds, thereby providing a market for
American dollars as well as for American
goods. There is money in the United States
awaiting investment. All that is necessary
to bring It into the open is for the men who
know where there is an active demand for
funds to bring together the man with the
dollars and the man with the need.

PH1pps INSTITUTE NURSES

To tho Editor Of Evening Ledger:
slr-The following is an open letter to DR.. J.
William White:
Having been actively engaged in nursing In
Philadelphia prior to 1895, and being in earnest
sympathy with the pupil nurses Of today have
read with great interest your letter in todays
paper respecting 'the complaints made by
few nurses-chiehy through the newspapers-of
the Henry Phipps Institute"
You say: every detail has been gone into,
including each circumstance that could affect
not only the health but the comfort OF the
nurses. The investigation was made
independently by three separate individuals rep
resentng different points OF view. AS a result,
1t was found that not one of the statements
of the complalnants as to exposure to contagon,
overwork the improper use OF tuberculous en-
ployes etc, etc, had any foundation In fact"
Then, lest those OF your fellow citizens who
may have seen the accusations should possibly
remain in ignorance of the underlying facts,
you fill the major portion OF your letter
with praises of the Phipps Institute, recitng its
cost to its nonresident founder. its special func-
tion, the character Of its activities, its world
wide celebrity, the cooperation OF outside ex-
perts, the esteem in which its publications are
held the glory which its location here reflects
upon our city, and the unselish devotion OF its
management to the objects of the institute
May I ask
Q) What have these underlying facts" to do
with the question whether the nurses cons
plants are we'll founded?
(2) Why do you conceal the names and the
professional connections OF your three sep
arate individuals representing different points
Of View?
go What voice had the complaining nurses IN
the selection of these three separate indyld'
uals' who rendered verdict against them?
I consider It inadvsable and unjust TO sub
ject young women, physically immature. to me

ever well conducted General hospitals DO NOT

Clevelaud's Lesson for Philadelphia

MAYOR BLANKENBURG's comparison OF
Itl the good he met on his recent visit TO
Cleveland with tho III he has had to fight in
Philadelphia is not stingng rebuke to Coun-
ellis alone. 1t has deep and broad meaning
for the whole city.
Councils stands for the old conception OF
city; Cleveland for the new. 1t was once
customary to look on municipal government
at its best as an unfortunate necessity OF
law and order and at its worst as the natural
spoils of personal and party politics The
men who stand with Mayor Baker, OF Cleve-
land and Mayor Blankenburg, OF Philadel-
phla, conceive the city vast mechanism
OF helpfulness. an instrument OF constructive
labor for the public good.
Mayor Bankenburg has found Cleveland
far on the newer road. And he has found
Il so because its Mayor has had the CO.
operation, instead Of the obstruction Of
small and responsible, instead of an un-
wleldy and irresponsible, City Council. The
lesson is plain enough reorganization OF
the city's legislative mechanism, and until
that comes as sharp an eye on the candi-
dates for Councils next fall as on the candi-
dates for Mayor

The speed with which the board disposed

ture OF Phlladelphas educational system.
Il such silly, parochal reasoning were to rule
a metropolitan city in the selection of public

fession OF pedagogy would not be the only
service to suffer. The ability of a man to
serve a city cannot be measured by where
