that respect for the dead should condemn IL
once for ALL No man who knows what goes
on in the grave would ever sentence a BODY
he has kissed to Imprisonment therein. Fire
is the right solvent. But the mausoleum ls
not without justification, and 1t has as well
an element of permanency lin an imperma-
nent word) which is lost In the rapid de-
struction of the flames. The body Is laid
away in the crypt with desiccatlng chemicals,
which in short while will absorb the so per
cent of moisture of which the body Is COM
posed What is left is a dry mineral efigy
of the man who was. And that will remain
for thousands of years.
1t is a step in the right direction,
this West-born plan of communal mauso-
leums. 1t gives those who lack wealth
chance to preserve the bodies Of their dead
in safety and splendor akin to that of Gen.
eral Grant, who lies In state by the river.
And there Is no reason why mausoleum OF
this kind should not be built to meet the
purse needs even of the poorest The law
should permit It, in fact, the law should de-
cree It, Those who wish to keep together
for future explorers of our antiquities-the
mineral remains of their dead should be
obliged to place them in properly sterilized
mausoleums. And for the rest of us-those
of us who are not making collections of
worn-out garments-there should wait the
swift beneflcent tomb of fire.
Earth burial is due to false sentiment and
false theology. 1t should have no place in a
civilized community. Look abroad, If you
don't believe it. For years to come Europe
will poison the air. The dead are creeping
dar5ly through all the rivers and streams
taking their vengeance.

Omit Insnlting Sailors

I OAPTAIN MORGAN, OF the battleshp
" Minnesota, will have the support Of
every right-minded man in his fight to pro-
tect the uniform of the navy from insult. If
citizens who man our warships are good
enough to fight our battles they are good
enough to sit next to us in places of amuse-
ment. or to participate In the promiscuous
sports in places open to the general public.
Consequently, the refusal of the ticket-seller
at West Philadelphia skating rink to allow
six sailors and a petty officer to enter the
place is indefensible If the facts are as they
have been represented the management can
do no less than to make ample apology to
the men. And If it can escape so lightly it
win be fortunate, indeed, for the State law
provides a penalty OF fine or imprisonment
for those guilty of showing dlsrespect to the
uniform of men in the service OF the United
States.
This Is a democracy and not snobocracy
or a cadocracy. and every honest citizen is
entitled to the same rights that every other
citizen enjoys so long as he behaves himself.
The sailors and soldiers of the nation should
be welcomed 10 public places and made to
feel that while they wear the uniform Of the
United States they deserve and will have the
respect OF every citizen.

nHittinr the Trail,, and After

TyESTERDAY'S demonstration at the Lo-
i gan Square tabernacle ought to convince
the most skeptical that man is a religious
animal. The instinct of worship is as old
as the desire to propitlate an unknown and
offended Higher Power. BILLY" Sundays
appeal was made to emotions which lie at
the back of every mind This is a Chris
tian civilization and all our education is
saturated with Christian principles. The
evangelist here is doing his best to persuade
men to put into practice the theories with
which they have long been familiar. The
fact that 114O men and women responded
yesterday, when he announced that 1.-THE
hour is come" demonstrates his power to
touch the hidden springs of emotion in the
multitude
Those familiar with this mans work in
other cities say that this is only faint
suggestion of what will he accomplished un-
der his direction before the campaign is over.
The city is certainly in need of moral and
political regeneration, and If he can make it
even little better his work will be worth
ten times what It has cost If he can con-
vince any considerable body of citizens that
public morals are but a reflex of private
morals and that man who votes for the
continuance Of a partnership between gov
ernment and vice and for strengthening the
combination of contracting corporations and
political machines which pursue that famous
policy Of addition, division and silence he
will do work which will leave suspicion
In the mind of any one that Christianity is
a thing too fragile for everyday wear.

The Onlv Bee with a Buzz

TT DID not require q speech at Indianapolis
i TO let men who follow politics as a profess
sion know that woodrow Wilson Is candi-
date to succeed himself. That fact has been
established for many months. 1t has been
an open secret in Washington that the Presi-
dent is obsessed with the idea of second
term. His party ought to be obsessed with
the same plan. There is not another Depno-
crat who would stand ghost of a chance
There Is little confidence anywhere in the
Democracy; there is some confidence in Mr.
Wilson. He has impressed the country with
his sincerity; his party, on the other hand
Is renowned for it's stupidity. 1t is
Wilson or, nothing in 1916, so far as the De-
mocracy is concerned. His is the only presi-
dential bee with any buzz to 1t.

The Further. the Cheaper

seems to be the principle underlying the
exchange-ticke outrage in this city The
ramifcations OF the system are such and Its
abuses so many that Director Taylor has not
been able adequately to present them to the
city. An expert could be kept busy for weeks
without coming to the end of the list. If the
cItv be divided into, say 20 great squares,
numbered in order, 1t will be found, in many
instances, that while 1t costs but cents to
go from square to square II, 1T costs cents
TO go from square 16 to square II. 1t is pos
sible to get a very long ride for cents and a
very short ride for cents. Like Topsy, this
system has Just grown up. the result of
leases piled on leases.
The best feature OF the Taylor plan is that
IL provides high-speed transit for all parts OF
the city; the next best is the fact that 1t
assures a universal ive-cent fare, and abol-
ishes forever the irritating, unjust and perni-
cious exchange-ticket system. Philadel-

HNHE MERE suggestion Of an embargo on
i wheat expectations drove the market back
cents in Chicago. The spectators ran to
cover
On Saturday also washington was consid-
erlng a recent note from London, threaten
! ing to revive It's embargo on rubber and wool,
and pointing out that "it is entirely within
the right of Great Britain or any other Gov
ernment to control its export trade through
embargoes."
The Constitution inhbts tax on exports
The authority of the Government however,
to establish an embargo has been complete
ly established. There is one major precedent
for It, and there are many minor ones Sena-
tors whose eyes are glued to the main chance
and who are ready to trade the bread of the
poor for foreign gold are thumbing the law
books in a desperate effort to discover some
technicality by means of which they may
keep the police power of the Government
away from the SPECTATORS They are fol-
lowing a blind lead.
A rise of one cent in the price Of bread
would be a national calamity. The struggle
is hard enough 1t is. See those long soup
lines and that army of men unemployed.
They live in land OF plenty, a land to which
Providence has given bumper crops, and yet
avarice proposes to ship great a bulk Of
these crops to Europe that citizens at home
must take the last cent out of their stock
ings for necessary food.
Nobody objects If the wheat farmers make
money although there is not a corporation
in the nation that would dare take the profits
found in $1.4O wheat. The sleuths of the law
would be after 1t, and its directors would be
headed straight for Jail. But the farmers are
not the ones taking the profit. Most of them
have already sold. 1t is the spectators who
have sought the dearest market in the world
and pushed and buoyed and coaxed domestic
prices to it's level. They care nothing about
the city poor, nothing about the millions OF
working men whose fortunes are at low
ebb. They cry for their pound of flesh, and
they have actually persuaded the Admins
tration to ask for Government money where
in Government ships the food that ought to
go into American mouths.
Send Europe our surplus. The armies are
welcome to 1t and the spectators are well
come to what profit they can get. But when
these gentlemen undertake to pawn the
American dinner, when they make Europe's
necessity Americas necessity, and calmly tell
the poor to eat corn bread, If they can get 1t,
instead of wheat bread, it is time for the
Government to cease all efforts to help these
plunderers and rush to the defense Of the
great masses.
Not one bushel of wheat should be allowed
to leave the country until the amount nor
mally consumed has been conserved and pro-
tected

Democracy of Death

DEATH, which overlook the Russian
~ Grand Duke Alexander Michaelovitch on
a battlefield in Persia, did not know that he
was Grand Duke. And one OF the most
noteworthy social phenomena OF the war is
fha discovery OF the British In the trenches
that noble and commoner are Just men. Dis
tinctions OF birth and caste and wealth dis
appear when the soldiers are brought face to
face with dread realities. Death, the great
Ieveler OF ranks is sitting at the desk IN the
achoolroom Of war, teaching momentous
lesson oE human brotherhood, which il win
take the nations involved long time TO
