las Penrose Turned Anarchist7

LNVEN in his speechmaking Senator Pen
~ rose is the old-style politician. He can
build up clever analogies with the Civil War
when he talks to the Sons of Veterans
against any and every effort to end martial
conflict. But they are only analogies and
Nonly clever. They do not meet present con-
ditions they only befog And they are not
rpade any sounder or any clearer by such
standpat standbys in phrases as "charlatan
and theorist" and basic principles"
Senator Penrose-that Prussian of politics
lis chiefly worried over what he calls the
Fantastic suggestion" of the conference in
Independence Hall to maintain peace by
force. Has he never heard of the agency
by which domestic peace is maintained? Or
has his own experience as the master of a
political machine as capable and as ruthless
as the Kaiser's military one plunged him
into an anarchlsm which bars even the
police?

DETWEEN disasters we are apt to forget
- the fireman. He goes his way saving
property and often life. 1t is only when
he gives up his own life in the service of
the city that his fine work and finer sacri-
fees swim up into our consciousness. 1.-TWO
dead and thirteen injured" is a story that
recalls in a flash the noble service of public
servants who, pursuing a profession of sal
wage and helpfulness. receive little attention,
II happily no blame.
The fremen of Philadelphia, the fine body
of men from whom the martyrs of Tues
days fire were drawn, hold a double dis
ttnction by virtue of the background against
which they work. Things are better among
the police than they used to be. Things are
better even in ward politics. But for how
many years have not the hremen Of Phila-
delpha shone the single service against
which no slurs were cast: for how many
years have they not added to the herolsm
of their work by a courageous struggle with
inadequate equipment and a determination
to do the best even in the face of official
ingratitude and neglect? Rotten hose-far
more fearful than the sword of Damocles-is
a symbol of things against which the fire
men have fought and In spite Of which they
have conquered

End of Notification

! THE grandfather" clause in whatever
| i State Constitution II appeared, reeked
with injustice. limited ballot, yes; most
students Of democracy are for t.; but the
| qualifications should be universal in their
application
The wisdom, or lack Of wisdom, in the gem
eral enfranchlsement OF the Negroes was not
the issue. The issue was the notification Of
the Constitution Of the United states. There
has been such notification for a number Of
years The Supreme Court has vindicated
the integrity Of that great instrument by Its
decision
The South Itself has suffered greatly be-
cause of the grandfather" clause. lit
eracy test would have compelled the poorer
class of whites to acquire the rudiments Of
an education. But with the voting booths
open to them on account Of their descent
they were without a great Incentive The
high percentage OF llllteracy in South Caro-
lima and Alabama is an evidence Of the de-
plorable condition into which a part of the
whites have permitted themselves to drift.
II may be doubted IL the decision will have
any great effect on the Negro vote in the
South. It will tend rather to bring about
tightening Of the qualifications, which may
reduce the white vote more than It will in
crease the black vote. The administration
of law Is more important often than the law
itself Registration clerks are shrewd and
not always too scrupulous. Yet big factor
in the situation is the thirst for education
which has characterized the Negro race in
recent years Negro children have needed
no compulsory education. Their parents have
attended to that An ordinary reading and
writing test would have no terrors for thou
sands of Negroes
1t is probable that the decision will cause
no drastic revision of the new rules for the
Republican National Convention. The party
will walt to see II the decision can be trans-
lated into actual votes, for actual, not possi-
BILE. votes must determine representation.
1t Is worthy of notice that the outlawlng
of the grandfather" clause will put an end
to efforts to reduce Southern representation
In Congress, since 1t does away with the
basic reason for the campaign to accomplish
that reform.
The grandfather clause disfranchised no
Negroes It enfranchised whites who other
wise would have been disqualified.

The "war Boom" at Last

FTNHE war boom" has hit Pennsylvania like
i a tidal wave Every day some new firm
announces great orders for munitions that
mean employment for thousands. This gun
company has million rifles to make; that
ope 1900 big gun parts. A corporation making
steel cars in times Of peace is getting ready
to turn out shells for 6-inch guns another
that builds locomotives is adding shrapnel to
its products.
The sharpest example is in Chester There
$4,000 new workmen are to be taken on to
I'LL orders for arms and ammunition in the
Eddystone plant Of the Baldwin Locomotive
Company. This boom" condition is ex-
pected to last two years, according to present
orders; and 1t is reflected in the real estate
field by plans for 1000 new homes made nee
essary by this small army
From all these signs 1t is easy to believe
that Europes buying agents have taken the
field with a rush, that England and Russia
are spending S5OOOOO,OOO France s4OO, 900, ,OOO
and Italy 100000 900
And why? For nine months the boom"
that all had prophesed held off; overcona-
dence among the Allies, slipshod methods
of provisioning may have account for II.
The present rush of orders is a spectacular
testimonial to the fact that the remarkable
brain OF David Lloyd George is in charge of
Englands powder chest. Cause and effect
have leapt the Atlantic

CONSERVATION by Starvation

WHEN Matthew wrote of wars and
NFrumors of wars" he might have added,
'and wars OF rumors" This is such a one
indeed Rumor and fable run rife. Nations
are hastily thrown into the conflict in cne
batch of dispatches and taken out in tie
next. Germany contemplates some new
weapon OF destruction each week Rumor
even descends to such small matters as the
story Of how an Ally, when he wants TO see
the time at night and has no match fires at
the German trenches until the enemy shoots
on brilliant star balr' to uncover a os-
sble night attack
One OF the most interesting of recent
rumors is the system OF private conscrpt on
which many business Arms In London are
said TO have organized According to these
tales, big employers are forcing enlistment
by dismissng third or so OF their men and
refusing employment TO any out OF work
The only alternative TO starvation is the
trenches. Such is the power OF industry;
and such the way OF those who fear TO look
eonseFiption squarely In the face.

the world, all its trustees must be residents Of
Philadelphia. The boards which govern tho
destinies of Harvard, Yale and Princeton are
drawn from field as extensive as the student
body itself.
Pennsylvania is quite as unfortunate in the
manner by which its trustees are elected with
the exception that the General Alumni Associa-
tion may nominate" a candidate for every
third vacancy, the board fills it's own vacancies
This Is hardly concession, because the board
reserves the right to reject all such nominees
and to compel the submission of new names
until satisfactory candidate is presented AT
Harvard the board OF overseers. which corre
spends to the board OF trustees, is not only
nominated, but elected by the alumni body At
Yale and Princeton the charters make their
boards to a certain extent self-perpetuating, but
in each case the alumni are permitted to name
six more members.
without doubt conditions at Pennsylvanla
would be vastly improved II the charter were
amended in at least three particulars:
l. The board of trustees should be elected en-
tirely by the alumni of the University
2. The trustees should hold office only for
specific term OF years.
8. The trustees should not be limited to resi-
dents of Philadelphia, nor even the State Of
Pennsylvania; but should be drawn from the
entire United States
There other reforms which could be made
with advantage, and probably would be II the
charter were amended in accordance with the
foregoing suggestions. For example, the inter
ests of education could be better served II the
actual governing body were much smaller after
the system in force at Harvard The Cam
bridge institution has board of overseers but
ha
executive board of a few members who re-
port at regular intervals to the overseers.
Much the system has been found neces.
sary at Yale.
Another conclusion one cannot escape is that
the alumni OF Pennsylvania are largely to blame
If their board of trustees is not representative
or responsive to the needs OF the University and
higher education. They have regarded the
administration of their alma mater with en-.
tirey too much complacency. Pennsylvania Is
supposed to be the peoples university, and its
trustees should at least represent and carry out
the wishes Of the great body of the alumni. II
the trustees do not represent the wishes OF the
alumni 1t is partly because the alumni I'M
potent
Pennsylvania's charter can and shouhfbe
amended. and there are enough Pennsylvania
graduates in the State Legislature not 10
mention alumnus who is also ex-ofhele
president OF the board OF trustees and GovernoF
OF the State, to bring enough power to bear
on that body to amend the charter so that
more efficient administration could be secured
and trustees elected who would be responsive
to the alumni body and the cause OF higher
education.
The Legislature win not be in session again
until 1917, but in the meantime those alumni
who are now complaining 50 bitterly should
organize their forces and concentrate thsf
energies on Harrisburg. E. r. B.
