STOP MUNITION PLOTS

T1HE Government has assumed that ex-
Il plosons i'm munitions factories and fires
in steel mills engaged in making war sup
plies are not accidental They have been
too frequent and confined too closely to
plants dealing with the Allies for the
theory of chance to be accepted. 1t may
have been merely coincidence that on No
vember 10 there were disastrous fires in the
Bethlehem Steel Company's work. in the
Midvale Steel and Ordnance Company's
plant and at the Eddystone works of the
Baldwin Locomotive Company and the next
day at the Roebling steel rope mill But
when the fires occurred the Government
called on the State authorities for assist
ance in finding out the guilty and bring
ing them to punishment
The Government has lost no time either,
in beginning investigation into the ex-
plosion at the du Pont powder mill. 1t is
not satisfied with the theory of accident
which has been given out. 1t is doubtful
II the people who profess to believe that
theory are satisfied with it. They are
guarding their mills as though they ex-
pected attack. and they must continue so
to guard them
The power OF the national Government to
enter IA State and prosecute incendlaries is
doubtful The Government. however. has
power without any new legislation to go
direct TO the suspected fountain head of
the conspiracy against legitimate American
industry and to demand that the German
Government warn all it's sympathizers
against waging war against the Allies in
the neutral territory of America A few
burning words by Secretary Lansing to Won
Bernstorff might work wonders if he could
be convinced that the Government meant
what it said.

WATCH YOUR MILLIONS

! THE mad rush of the Organization to put
evitably raises doubts in the minds Of tax
payers. They are not forgetful of how their
money has been squandered in the past, and
they would like some assurance that the
new burden of debt will not result in swell
ing the fortunes Of a few politicians, rather
than in the achievement of necessary and
desirable public improvements
The obstacles thrown in the way of the
Blankenburg Administration were long ago
revealed dilatory measures devised to
postpone expenditures, in order that carni-
val of spending might later be INDUCED in
by the elect. The tentative proposals made,
nevertheless, embrace many improvements
for which the city has waited patiently and
which it is resolved to get. Thirty millions
is not too large a sum for transit. partic-
ularly it is legal to issue the bonds only
as money is needed. Authorization of a loan
does not mean that it must be placed in
whole at once So, too, the Parkway must
be completed, owing to recent rulings of the
courts. The public is heartily in favor OF
expenditures for these purposes.
There are however, so many different un-
dertaltings to be considered that It would be
folly of the worst sort to rush precipltately
into selection Of them. The proposals
made, for instance, contain no mention of
sewage disposal, of the most important
of all things to the city. There are other
evidences that the present program is half
baked and in need OF serious revision before
it can be accepted by the electorate.
In view of the very obvious desire Of the
Organization to get its hands on the maxi
mum amounts possible, as quickly as pos
sible. the selection by the Mayor-elect of his
Cabinet becomes more than ever important.
IF he surrounds himself with Ware and Nc
Nchol straw men. it will be equivalent to
announcement that an orgy of graft and
extravaganza is contemplated. IT, on the
other hand. the Cabinet is of such a char
acter as to inspire confidence, If men with
ability to do other things than deliver votes
selected, the public will be inclined to
support the Administration loyalty But the
very size of the loan proposed. in its orig
inal form. should be a warning to Mr.. Smith
that there are itching palms about and only
the exercise of extreme caution by him can
prevent four years of shameessness and
disgrace

Every instinct OF chivalry impeled to such

Chivalry also lmpels us to interfere by

PROTECTION THAT DOESN'T PROTECT

turned on the hose attached to two engines

chemical engine they found the pump out of
order.
II this had happened without warning
there would have been some excuse for it;
but il has been notorious for months. IL not
for years. that much of the hose in the pos
session OF the Fire Department is unfit for
use and is likely to give way at any time.
1t has been impossible for the men in charge
OF the department 10 get the money for the

Perhaps, after the first OF the year the
powers that be will consent to the purchase
OF new hose and insure to the city a fire pro-
lection system that does not break down

WHO is MY NEIGHBOR?

DERHAPS the Christmas spirit was re-
i sponsble for it, but 1t may have been
just the common everyday spirit of human
ity that moved the policemen sent out to
arrest tailor on the charge of larceny to
Keep the warrant in their pocket for awhile.
They found the mans four little children
huddled under blanket for warmth There
was neither fire food in the house and

food. prepared a meal and saw the family
eat 1t. Then they did their duty, and took
the man to court. He their neiehbor. in
the scriptural sense, before he was a vio-
lator of the law.
Perhaps IL some one else had discovered
that he was a neighbor before necessity

been saved the notoriety that has come to
him.

to find out whether any of their neighbors
are in similar need. There are other suitable

A FALSE NOTE

nETERMINED on originality at any cost,
IL the French have gone to the extent of
introducing a soft sweet note of friendship
into the general chorus of hate which now
inspires the world A week or so ago we
were informed on competent authority that
we were the mOst-hated people on earth.
Germany and England were equally "agin
u.s." and It was written In the great book
that we ought to go out into the garden to
eat wormwood.
So 1t is pleasant to see that the Journal
des Debats, Of Paris, has said a kind word
for all Americans who happen 10 be in
France just now. with the implication that
even over here some Americans are a good
sort. The note is off key just now, but 1t is
soothing to the ear.

when men, growing talkative over the pleas
ures of the table, begin to brag of the su-
perior excellence of the larders of their
localities, the food always mentioned as of
particular merit is sure to be some sort
of pork product II is usually sausage that
the man of Chester. Lancaster, York
Dauphin or Cumberland County speaks of
with moist lower lip. We have been asked
to say which OF these bucolic principalities
produces the sausage de luxe, but we de-
cline to say. We have breakfasted In all
these places and we hope TO be invited
again. Doctor Morgan the other morning
had a kind word 10 say for Perry County
where some years ago he first experienced
the unexpected delight OF eating in mid
summer sausage preserved in lard from the
winter before. We had that same joy this
last summer way up in Monroe County.
Everybody I think" said Doctor Morgan,
will agree upon one point. and that is that,
owing to the cosmopolitan character of
Pennsylyania's population from earliest
Colonial times, this State has enjoyed more
and better varieties of cookery than almost
any other in the Union. And it seems to

spair that to millions of laborers the condi-
tions of war seem hopeful and visionary in
