Dothebabies Hall

Tt THE managers Of that Cheltenham baby
i farm had been frank, and had also been
familiar with Dickens, they might have
called their establishment, not Bethel Home,
but Dothebabies Hall. There may have been
a pretense of taking care of the unfortunates
but no better arrangements could have been
devised for doing the babies to death without
mourning the penalties of the law If that
had been the deliberate purpose
The community owes it to itself to take
care of the children who get into such homes
With proper care and training they can be-
come self supporting citizens. But with i'm
proper care they become a burden to society.
1t is from this class that the ranks of GRIM
inals are recruited. The child comes into the
world handicapped but 1t is possible to give
it some preparation for fighting its own way
in an honest occupation.
good beginning has been made in closing
the Cheltenham place and removing the chill

of the same kind in this neighborhood. The
business of the courts and the prisons will
be lessened in the future if the inmates are

Legislation Is Not a Panacen

THE President is represented as believing
i that the legislation of his Congress will
be a panacea for social and industrial ills.
If the President thinks this he had better
think again. Some of the legislation is good
and some of It is bad. but none of It is a
panacea. No law ever passed can be de-
scribed by this all-embracing word Only
quack medicines are panaceas. And only
quacBs profess to cure everything.
Some half-baked admirer of the President
must have used the phrase for woodrow
Wilson knows too much about the history of
civilization and the slow processes of its
growth for him 10 claim that any law is a

what Congress has not done as much as by
what 1t has done. And IL Congress had done
less the country would be better Off Men

they are TO do their work. and the same ruI,
applies to business and TO society at large.
II Congress would treat the country with
studied neglect for the next two years even
the optimists would be astonished at the

panaceas so much as it needs bread pills.

DOES Councils care at all for the interests

an adequate police force; it will not permit
the United Gas Improvement Company to

Even when it does appropriate money
which has been voted by the people for new
police and fire stations it adds the words,
such stations as may be designated by
Councils" and then adroitly fails to des
ignate any, thus absolutely preventing the
expenditure Of the money. Truly the citizens
of Philadelphia are ably represented. They
seem to have turned their legislative author
ity over to as bold and arrogant a set of
hodbacks as ever ventured into public life.

PRIVILEGES AND OBLIGATIONS

To the Editor Of the Evening Ledger.
sr-An editorial in the EVENING LEDGER Of
yesterday says:
The right of woman to vote is essen
TALLY a moral issue, for 1t is against all
American principle that the accident of
birth should determine the political rights
and privileges OF inhabitants.
May ask why you stop with rights and
privileges? Why don't you go on to say some
thing about duties and obligations? II is one
OF the peculiar eccentricties Of suffragsts that
they only preach equality long as they are
considering rights and privileges. The moment
one mentions equal duties and obligations they
fall back on and demand a continuance of
immunity.
The accident of birth" has made woman
immune from numberless onerous civic duties
TO which men are liable; 1t has thrown about
her all kinds of safeguards and endowed her
with many special privileges. 1t has relieved
her from fundamental obligations, from Jury
duty, from military service from legal abili-
ties almost too numerous to mention, And all
this has come about through that chivalric i'm
pulse in men, at which the average suffTaglst
Is prone to sneer.
connection? II you are going to base your argu-
ment on the familiar plea OF equality" you
are logically bound to face the music. If you
do, you will find equality a two-edged sword
You cann9t say there is no sex in citizenship"
when you speak OF privilege and then fall back
on sex when you speak of obligation The
average suffragette always does this, but the
EVENING LEDGER can't afford to. It's logical
sense must revolt.

INC Truth About Belgium

CIR EDWARD GREY proved that he en-
~ tertains no illusions when he said that
unless neutral nations are prepared to
assist In throwing the Germans out Of
Belgium, no suggestions from them in the
matter Of preventing further devastation OF
that country are wanted"
This Ia brutal in its directness. But 1t
states the situation with exact precision
Belgium has been devastated as an act Of
war No finely worded resolutions will drive
the Germans out of Belgium No literary
protest against the outrage of the country
would have driven the British or the French
out Of It, either, had military necessity
forced them to invade Germany through this
neutral state.
When war Is on. the tools of war must be
used. Belgium has suffered by the sword,
and only the sword will save her. If Ger
many wins, Belgium will disappear as an
Independent state. If the Allies win, Bel
gium will be re-estabished and buttressed
against German aggression in the future.
Sir Edward may be pardoned his apparent
lmpatience with the people who have been
acting as II war did not mean war.

the latest scientific works ordered from New

them day and night. Nothing could drag
him from his study. He ate at his desk and

All things give way before It, soon or late

Or cause the ascending orb of day to wait?
Each well-born soul must win what 1t deserves

Whose slightest action or inaction. serves
