When Red Tape strangles Humanity

COME way out of the ENHANCEMENT which
~ is obstructing the payment of money to
dependent mothers for the care of their chill
dren in their own homes ought to be found
at once. If court decision will cut the
knot, there ought to be humanity enough in
the judicial processes to expedite the last
case on the docket If action by the General
Assembly is required there ought to be no
more delay in passing the bill introduced for
the purpose of bringing relief
The mothers should be allowed to keep the
children in their homes instead Of being
compelled to send them to an institution.
The objection to the institution is so strong
that some mothers have said they would
kill themselves or their children rather than
consent to surrender their babies to the care
OF the nurses in a charitable home This
feeling does credit TO their instincts, even If
1t Is illogical, and it is the feeling which will
make good men and women Of the boys and
girls for whose protection it exists. The
home is the place for the child.
The settling of this question is of more
importance than the settling of a lot of other
matters which receiving greater atten-
tion. both in Harrisburg and Philadelphia

ATLANTIC CITY is n democratic resort
"A It is the great summer playground for
the plain people OF this part of the country
and the winter resting place for some of
them. The high-priced hotels, patroni2ed by
people of wealth. are not what give charac-
ter to the place Wealth at the shore, as
everywhere else is the exception. The Board
walk was built to give the masses an oppor-
tunity to get the invigorating air Of the
ocean into their lungs conveniently and COM
fortHbly. The wheel chairs allowed on it are
-fsereiy a concession to the invalids, the in
dolent and the rich. They are an intrusion,
tolerated out of a great charity for the de-
pendent classes.
The suggestion that jitney chairs be put
on the Boardwalk to carry people at a low
fare ought, therefore, to be rejected without
ceremony. If any change is to be made there
should be fewer. rather than more, wheeled
vehicles obstructing the passage of the peo-
pie on this great thoroughfare. The munich
pal authorities have usually discouraged
every plan to decrease the popularity of the
place with the people who go there for a
weekend or even for the day. They are eX-
pected to continue this wise policy and to
send back to New York the thrifty specua-
tors who trying to get permiss to reap
harvest OF niclSels at the expense of the
comfort of those for whom the Boardwalk
was originally built,

81 Am a Magistrate"

QUITE naturally when a man who was
W arrested for disturbing the peace an
nounced to the prospective jailers that he
was a Magistrate there was nothing to do
but turn him loose Disturbing the peace is
one of the chief functions of Magistrates, as
we know them in Philadelphia. They have
disturbed the peace of good citizens for
many moons, for the whole system seems to
he grounded in a deliberate mockery of JUS
tice. Magistrates, it appears are intended
to be adjuncts of political machine. and so
they are, with possibly a few exceptions
81 am a Magistrate" said Mr.. Wrigley,
and If he had been a piece of chewing gum
he could not have stuck any closer than he
did to that hfe-saver. Evidently Mr. Wrig-
ley is proud Of his Office, wherefore It is a
double misfortune that disgrace should have
been brought 1t. With our Magistrates
in Jail what would become of ordinary delin-
quents who have looked to them for protec-
ton? Lieutenant Duffy was faced with a
great crisis, and he met It valantly. But
ordinary citizens need not get it into their
heads that they can do what they please
with impunity on the streets, for that is
privilege which belongs to Magistrates, and
to Magistrates only

The Berinninp of ! Greater philadelnhia

Inc beginning OF tTeateT Inlla0elpnld
THE result Of the four days campaign to
Il increase the membership of the Chamber
of Commerce justifes the faith which the
men behind the project put in the energy
and enterprise Of the city Three thousand
two hundred and ten new members were
secured, although the committees were not
able to canvass all the business houses on
their lists. There are several thousand men
yet to be seen. and IL any OF those who have
not yet received a visit from the committee
think that they have been ignored they
should correct their thinking by recalling that
this Is a large city and that it Is impossible to
canvass it thoroughly in the time already con-
sumed They will have an opportunity to
pledge their support to the greater Philadel-
phia movement before the close of next week,
as the work Is to be continued.
With approximately 5000 members and an
income from dues of Sl25OOO a year. the new
chamber will be in a position to make the
influence of the business interests of the city
felt, not only in Councils, but in Harrisburg
and in Washington. as well as in every COM
mercial centre of the country. fund of
So, 900 is now in hand for a building,

tuition that is to express the spirit that Is

NTEASURED by the standards of half
INl century ago ali the women of tn. pres
ent are about the age of the Venus of Melos,
who according to Carroll S. Tyson, Jr., had
the figure and face of a woman Of 80 when
the famous statue was carved. Old women
are no more They have discovered the
secret of perpetual youth without having to
make long journeys over sea and land in
quest of it. The fountain bubbles up within
their own spirit and sparklcs in the sun
light with as much brilliauce at 65 as at 50.
The secret of this is doubtless to be found
in their discovery that youth is interesting
because it is interested, and not because Of
it's costume, or it's frivolity, or it's bloom.
The eternal curiosity about life makes the
curious entertaining to herself as well as to
others And she who gets entertainment out
of living can never grow old. Therefore, If
Mrs. Cornelius Stevenson, who wants to start
a school to teach people how to grow old
gracefully, should start her classes, she
would discover that no other school ever had
such apt pupils as the mature women of the
present generation would make.
Age and its infirmltles are things of which
they are not thinking because their minds
are occupied with more enhancing subjects
They have risen from the lowlands of youth
and are living in the delectable mountains
from which every prospect pleases even that
reflected by their own mirrors.

A BOOK THAT SHOOK THE NATION

A PROJECT is on foot to erect simple tomb
Astone on the grave of man one of whose
books ranked next 10 "Uncle Toms Cabin" in
stimulating public opinion against slavery and
played a considerable part In winning the cleo
tIon of 1850 for Abraham Lincoln This man was
Hinton Rowan Helper. on March 9. 1903, he dis
appeared from public view. Later he was found
dead in an obscure lodging house in Washington
under circumstances which indicated too plain
ly that he had put end TO his existence him
self Having no relatives appreclative friends
his body was about to be placed in a grave in
the Potters Field. when notice of his death
caught the attention of Stephen H. Hines,
resident of Washington. Recognizing the part
that the octOgenarlan had played IN the history
of the country, he assumed the funeral ex-
penses and the body was laid in the Capital
Cemetery.
Helper was born in David County. N. C., De-
cember q, 1929. In 1851 he started for San Fran
cisco by way OF Cape Horn. The vessel was
dlsmasted and put in at Valparaiso for repairs.
This was his hrst visit 70 the continent in
whose future he was in later years to take an
active interest. His experiences In California
were later published in a volume called "Ths
Land OF Gold"
In 1857 he published 'Srhe Impending Crisis Of
the South: How TO Meet It." This was the
work which was to place his name on the paess
OF American history. The son OF a STAKEHOLDER

French thrusts north and south are sue
cessful the Germans at st. N1ihel will be
cut off from Metz and must ultimately SUR
render.
1t would be easy to eXaggerate the conse-
quences of the present French effort, even
should It succeed. 1t will not open the way
to an invasion of German territory 1t will
not deprive the Germans Of control of any

important line of railroad. The forts Of
Orne and reached the Alsace- Lorraine from
tier. on the other hand as a defensive
move an attempt to close a dangerous
breach in their own lines, the French attack
is of greatest Importance. Once the ST.
Mihel position is taken and the trenches
carried south from Etain to Pont-a-
Mousson, French troops can be sent to other
points, where the real offensive may be ex-
pected
What French Success Would Mean
The weakness of the German position lies
in the fact that it is a salient, open to attack
from two sides and narrow that it must
be subject to crossfre. It's strength lies in
the roughness of the country, which has
made It possible to fortify strongly; the
nearness of Metz, which enables the Ger
mans to bring up heavy artillery and rein
forcements without delay, and the proximity
to the permanent forts which protect the
base.
The capture of st. Mhiel with Fort Camp
des ROMANS, will close to the Germans one
more road to Paris. 1t will mean that be-
tween Switzerland and the old Luxembourg
frontier the French defense has proven IT.
self indestructible. 1t will corroborate all
that German statesmen said of the military
necessity to invaode France through eBlgium,
since 1t will prove that the eastern barrier
fortresses could not be broken. But 1t will
not lead to any more serious consequences
than the bombardment of the outlying de-
fenses of Metz Unquestionaby the Germans
have prepared to defend this great fortress in
the trenches as the French have held Yer
dun, preventing the 42-centimetre guns
from coming within range of the inner forts.
French defeat here will have no more
serious consequences than to demonstrate
that IT is still beyond their power to shake
the German hold upon French territory.
AS such it will have a real moral effect and
mark a considerable and undeniable re-
verse. Perhaps the most important aspect
of the st. Mihel operation is in the test it
makes of the new French offensive which
made but little real progress in Champagne
a few weeks ago.

Attack Two Sides of Triangle

This they have now undertaken to do and
are at present engaged in attacks upon two
sides of the Verdun-St. Mihiel- Pont-a-

Pont-a Mousson to Apremont, just south Of

narrower front from the Meuse to Fresnes

distant, they are pushing south through Les

There were two hundred or more

tendent; Ben Mccoy and the pastor.
These were we'll suited to the time
and occasion and we'll received. ALI

special benefit to them, and the new

that they are a part Of the church.
