TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 5
AN AUsPICIoUs START

II augurs well for Pennsylvania that
the members of the Legislature
approached their first task with
harmony. There was a breeze over
the Republican nomination for
Speaker, which carries with it the
election as of yore, but as Robert p.
Habgood, one of the aspirants, said
last night in Withdrawing: THE well
fare of the Republican party IS
greater than ambitions of it's mem
bers." 1t was this spirit that prompt
ed the contestants to yield to DR..
Brumbaugh's preference for Charles
\. Amber, and it is to the credit of
the erstwhile candidates that they did
it so gracefully. AS for the selection
of the president pro tenn. of the SEN
ate, the members did the wise thing
in choosing q man of the experience
and talent of Charles II. Kline.
In both chambers there was mani
Tested to-day a general desire to help
DR.. Brumbaugh. Even the Demo-
ocratic members evinced an interest
and the incoming administration will
find plenty of support for even those
measures about which there have been
some questions in the past.
over $4,000 voters called DR..
Brumbaugh to be Governor and he
had a majority over all rivals of al
most 10000. lie has taken the posi-
tion that pledges are pledges, and he
has called, more directly, perhaps
than have some other new Governors,
upon the legislators to follow his lead
in giving the people of the Common
wealth of Pennsylvania what they de-
manded at the polls.
The legislators Responded at the
first call to-day.

THE LODGE AMENDMENT

~ ENAToR ROOTS plea for free
and unrestricted admission into
- the United States of Belgians who
may care to take up residence in
this country not only offers a partial
solution to the problem of relief with
which we as n nation are now con-
fronted. but it is in full accord with
the high ideals of humanitarianism
upon which our government is
founded.
Senator Roots arguments for an
emergency amendment to the immi
grafton bill to permit the free entry
of Belgians and their families are all
summed up in this very striking para
graph:
We should open the door to Bel
gium, because the people have no
country 1t has been taken away
dering over the face of the earth
without homes. and there never has
been. since the foundation of our
Government, people to which the
hearts of Americans have turned
with as deep compassion or as
strong desire to give relief to suf-
fering. There is no other people in
the world without government,
without country. Two millions
of them are eXfled in foreign lands,
without means of earning q liVeli-
hood. Never in modern history has.
there been a case like this. 1t is
exceptional and should be entitled
to exceptional treatment in this
bill.
All this is true beyond question. We
owe the Belgians whatever of aid we
can give. We have been and are send
ing them shipload after shipload of
food and clothing. The amendment
offered by Senator Lodge and sup
ported so eloquently by Senator Root
would exempt from the literacy test
and contract labor provisions Belgian
farmers who, during the war or as q
result of conditions arising from the
war. declare they came to buy land
and to become American citizens.
Thus we would at once give oppor-
tunity and hope for permanent better
ment to thousands who could find
peace and freedom among us and re-
duce the numbers who must live by
our charity until war shall cease and
the plowshare be substituted for the
bayonet in Europe. Nevertheless, we
shall expect some of the eminent
theorists now in control at Washing
ton to find objection to the plan.

the day. He will take those in attend

ROOSEVELT'S VIEWS

@OLONEL ROOSEVELT'S peace
proposal is no doubt practical as
~ well as utopian.i In brief, he
would have the efficient civilized
nations of the world act with the COM
bined military strength of all of them
against any nation which transgresses
at the expense of any other nation. No
doubt some such plan will be at
tempted following the conclusion of
the present European conflict.
But far more interesting to Ameri-
cans are Colonel Roosevelt's views of
the treaty obligations of the United
States toward Belgium. Regarding
The Hague treaty guaranteeing the
neutrality of Belgium the eX-President
says:
I took the action did in direct
ing these conventions to be signed
on the theory and with the belief
that the United States intends to
live up to ITS obligations and that
our people understood that living
up to solemn obligations, like any
other serious performance of duty.
meant Willingness to make effort
moment supposed that signing
these Hague conventions meant lit
orally nothing whatever beyond the
expression of a pious wish which
any Power was at liberty to disre-
gard with impunity, in accordance
with the dictation of self-interest,
I would certainly not have per-
mitted the United States TO be
party to such a mischievous farce.
President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan, however. take the view that
when the United States assumes oh
legations in order to secure small
and unoffending neutral nations
against hideous wrong, its action
is not predicated on any intention
to make the guarantee effective.
The only conclusion that can be
based on this statement is that, had
the 1912 elections resulted in the re-
election of Roosevelt to the presi-
dency, either Germany would not have
invaded Belgium or we as a nation
would be now taking part in the war
in Europe. Speculation as to either
possibility is futile. but. in the light of
the Colonel's exposition. doubt grows
az to the worth of our own many re-
Gently enacted "peace" treaties.

LEO NJ. FRANKS
ONLY HOPE. y

The tribunal of last resort-the
Supreme Court of the United States
-haslrefused to release Leo NJ. Frank,
who has been declared guilty of the
murder Of Mary Phagan, the factory
girl, in Atlanta, Ga. Frank has now
but one hope-executive clemency or
mitigation of punishment by the
pardoning board Of Georgia.
This case has attracted attention
for some time. The country seems
to be divided on it, many believing
the accused innocent, while others
are equally as certain that the YER
dict against him was just. He has
fought through the lower and appel
late courts, until now his Life is
hanging upon slender Unread, mere
ly a hope that the pardoning board
will look favorably upon his plea.
The people Of Atlanta generally de-
cided that Frank was guilty Of STAY
ing the Phagan girl from the time
he was first charged with the crime,
While some facts were CLEANED which
tended to show that the young Israel
ito was the victim Of race prejudice
and that he was to suiier for crime
committed by another, many other
things were brought out to the serl-
Gus damage of the defendants posi-
ton. We will not reproduce the ale
cations of the prosecution or the de-
Tense.
Some people who have followed the
case from the first have always be-
licvcd Frank is innocent OF the horri-
bic crime imputed to him. They will
use all influence they can WELD to
induce the Georgia authorities TO
SPARE the condemned mans life. II
a terrible judicial blunder is about to
be perpetratcd, his friends allege'
that it will be irrcparablc should his
innocency be discovered in future
years.
The star witness, jim Conlin, Il ne
GRO. who has Il record, has not
appeaied to large numoc'
of persons who have been
interested in the case from the begin
ming. There are, however, many CIR
cumstances in connection with the
murder which have cast shadows
over Frank which neither he nor Ms
LAWYERS have ben able to dlspcl.

Not nearly as many voters have

to the fact that last year many people

Richmond is not the only city in
Virginia where such apathy is ap-

even when no important issues are to

NECESSITY OF a
FIRE ALARM SYSTEM.

While we recognize the fact tha'
Alexandria, at present, is burdeneo
with many pressing obligations which
require money, and that it is lmposs'-
BILE to secure everything the city may
mood ut once, il is unfortunate that q
fire alarm system is rot in operation
as it would eliminate anoyances u
which the community is being SUD
iected at all times. Last night, Wfiiie
the Elks' Auditorium was denseiS
packed with an appreciative audience
of ladies and gentlemen whose atten-
ton was closely rivetcd to the PIC
lures which were being exhibited, an
alarm of fire was sounded. The sud-
den and furious ringing of bells, the
rushing of crowds, and the clatter OF
fire apparatus was a rude Interrupt
ton to the lecturer, DR.. G. B. Gibson,
who was in an interesting manner
conducting the audience through the
Dardanelles to Constantinople. Many
in the audience manifested apprehen-
sion. as no one could say in which
neighborhood the fire department had
hurried. 1t was later ascertained that
all the excitement had been caused
by a farmer in Maryland, on the op-
posite side of the river, who was
burning brush.
During the past third of cen
tury agents of fire alarm systems
have from time to time visited Alex
andria and demonstrated the same.
One, we remember, about thirty Years
ago, according to the agent, could
have been installed for about S3,00c
and at an anual cost Of $50 for opera
ton. The city fathers OH that occa-
sion gravcly decided that we did not
need the device. A short time sub
seuucnt minority in the City Coun-
ell went on record rs opposed to the
introduction of electric lights in the
city.
Paris, Belin, London and other cities
can have municipal conveniences
which cannot now be afforded 10 Alex
andria; hence we expect 20 await
our time with patience. But therc
would be no necessity Of issuing
bonds or negotiating Il foreign loar
in order to equip our efficient fire
department with an alarm system
which would save fuel and the veal.
and tear of apparatus which is otter
accustomed, by mischievous boys who
delight to see engines rush through
the streets.
