Bang! INC Gang,s AlI Who're!

DANCE The gangs all there and like
- wise wassal in Harrisburg.
BY vote of 20 to the Senate yesterday
passed the toothless housing bill, thereby
condoning and indorsing the action of our
own City Councils in nullifying the housing
act now on the statute books and likewise
surrendering the interests of tenement dwell
ers to the more important interests that hap
pen to own the tenements. 1t is SO easy to
put things over, and if there did not happen
TO be Governor with a spine at Harrisburg
the present Legislature would eclipse all pre-
vious records in a revel and carnival of bad
legislation. He is about the only effective
Instrument for good government left in the
capital
Conditions in Philadelphia have been fairly
exhibited in picture and in type. No legis-
lator who voted for the toothless substitute
bill can Justify himself the ground of
Ignorance If he did not know what he was
doing he ought to have known. Yet 20 SEN
ators voted for squalidness and dlrtiness and
discomfort. Anything is good enough for the
poor.
There is but one thing for the Governor to
do, of course and that is veto the bill. He
should accompany the veto with n ringing
condemnation of the whole scheme to pre-
vent decent housing in the tenement districts
of Philadelphia, for that. in truth is the
object of the bill

TT HAS remained for the Democratic Sena-
i tor from Ohio to remind the Democratic
President of the United States that the
States are not merely geographical divisions
Of territory, but that they have certain
powers reserved to them by the Const-
tuition. The President has urged the pas
sage of law providing for the nominal
tion Of candidates for the Presidency in pri-
maries, apparently forgetting that all the
machinery for the election of Presidents is
controlled by the States. The States choose
their electors in such ways their Leglsla-
fures direct, and Congress has no power over
them. They are theoretically State agents or
ambassadors in an assembly that chooses the
President. but actually they are agents for
recording the vote of the State Senator
Pomerene has written letter to the one
time professor of politics and Jurisprudence
now trying 10 practice what he taught, in
which these elementary, facts are set forth
and informing him that there can be 10
Presidential primary legislation by Congress
until the Constitution is amended.
But what Democrat, with the memory OF
Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson and the
Civil War fresh in his mind, can get up in
his place and offer a resolution amending
State sovereignty out of the Constitution?

Holding Tight to the Record

ETNHE building record so far for March shows
Il Philadelphia at the front of American
cities with only New York ahead of her.
Permits have been issued for the construc-
tion of 9S4 two-story houses, and two-story
houses make Philadelphia the city of homes.
There are apartment houses, plenty of them
and as good can be found anywhere, but
the pride of Philadelphia is her individual
houses in which single families reside. They
make up the homes that give the community
its peculiar characteristics, not the least i'm
portnnt OF which is stability in viewpoint and
Industry, a conservatism that refuses to be
disturbed. But two-story houses. with such
vast population to be taken care of, mean
q large city area, and that in turn implies
the most modern transit facilities possible.
From circumference to centre must be
quick trip. comprehensive rapid transit
system. with universal transfers, will assure
a future city of homes instead of city of
apartment houses

Facts and Fallacies"

! THE railroads have learned the value of
! lpublicity They have found public opinion
| to be more dependable than anything else,
| and believe that they can be assured of n
| square deal when the electorate is fully in
! formed OF the facts.
The Philadelphia Lager Beer Brewers As
| ISOLATION appears to have reached similar
conclusion and is now publishing series Of
advertisements under the general caption,
Facts VS.. Faacies' 1t is seeking to edu-
cate the people to believe that temperance
is the true solution of the liquor problem al
though temperance, most people have con
ceded, is a matter Of character, possible for
one individual and entirely impossible for
another
Everybody believes in temperance as n
goal 1t has been taught by philosophers for
ages. Yet do not speak about temper
ance in murder or temperance in crime, and
tn talk about temperance in vice is merely
to be ridiculous. The man who is temperate
in all things, if there is such man, need
not ask the community on that account to
let him try burglary or n little footpad work.
There are some things so dangerous to the
health of society as n whole that society
will not permit even their temperate use
The Philadelphia Lager Beer Brewers AS
sociation is entitled to a hearing although
1T would be we'll for citizens to realize that
its advertisements are directed against Pro-
hibition, whereas, of course, the issue be-
fore the people now is local option. The
people are trying to solve the liquor prob
lem temperately; the liquor interests are try
ing to compel them to decide it intemper-
ately by their ll-advised opposition to the
American principle of local self-government.
There arc probably few fathers who would
care to instruct their sons in the use of
"boozo' in the belief that this would induce
temperance. They prefer to follow the good
old principle which teaches that to keep out
of the way of temptation when possible, is
a good thing

NNHE taunt that women who desire the vote
i are endcavoring to make imitation men of
themselves is rather laughable in view of
the call for aid which has gone out to the
women from all the warning nations Of Eu-
rope. Take the places of the men, is the
cry, and the women are answering. Theirs

votion, for they have earned 1t, When the

Dogs, Dead Men and Repeaters

NUT in indianapolis, where the utter col
" lapse of Democratic government in Terre
Haute is being proved in court, the defend
ants have been arrested for attempting to
tamper with Government witnesses. The ef-
frontery of the corruptionsts has been eX-
hibted in the series of articles appearing in
the EVENING LEDGER. 1t remained, however
for Ad Rogers, who has pleaded guilty, to
show how utterly scornful of even ordinary
respect for established forms the corrup
tionsts were.
Rogers, according to his own testimony,
made out an application for registration in
the name of dog; 1t was placed on the reg
istration books and was voted by Negro"
Too often when election returns in this coun-
try seem to show that citizens love grafters,
the fact is that their chief fault consists
in not having taken proper precautions to
prevent the aforesaid Grafters from multiplying
the popular will by voting dogs, dead men
and a long array of repeaters.

WHO'S WHO IN CANNED LOBSTER
Uncle Tender Regard for the Nicee Taste-Masoer
ade of California Crawfish - Chewing Gum Habit
Unaffected by Government Comment

as adulterated and msbranded within tba
meaning OF the food and drugs act This
notice rs issued FOR the purpose of warning
manufacturers against the sale of products
or TINS nature under false or misleading
labels.
Expert gum-chewers may have had faint
suspicious that they often champed away
upon gum cuds that contained fruitless fruit
favors. The suspicion had evidently not
disturbed them to any great degree nor ia
knowledge of the fact and the official Gov.
ernment comment thereupon likely to break
them of the gum chewing habit The flavor
of chewing-gum is one of the most transitorv
of all things, provided you are a hardened
gum -chewer. You chew gum to chew gum
not to get its flavor Only those who chew
gum for the purpose of concealing the fact
that they have imbibed spirits of high and
lasting flavor are primarily interested In the
flavor of the gum. 1t is then used as sub.
stitute for cloves, cinnamon orrs-root or
something of the sort, and, alas for purposes
of deception
In the Matter of Figs
OF course, it is unethical and not in accord
ance with the present-day morality of the
business code for manufacturers to deceive
their customers, but when the victims of de.
ception are themselves bent upon the prac.
tice of deception we come to a nice littls
problem that will wind back into snare no
matter how we untangle it.
There is one other little matter we find
reference to in this recent Government bul.
letin of interest to the lovers of sweets
Again we quote from the official document:
There has come to the attention of this
bureau form of confectlon designated as
fig paste lemon" and fig paste orange"
in which figs have not been used in the
preparation of the product. It is considered
that the term FIG paste" applied to con-
fectionery not containing figs Is mislead-
ing and deceptive, and the term should
not accordingly be used unless the con-
feetonery contains figs as the principal
favorng ingredient,
You may find this pale and colorless by
comparison with Doctor WiIeys poison
squads and the great clamoring sensations
and the RooseYeltian era of food purlfca-
ton 1t is convincing, nevertheless, that
Uncle Sam still maintains a tender regard
for the nlceties of our taste in SELECTING con-
fectionery tidbts and the labeled products
contained in cans. B, W, &C.

THE BIRDS HOUSING PROBLEM

from the Ohio State journal.
The city of Cleveland proposes to encourage
frlendliness toward birds. and no one will he
lieYe It misdreeted effort. There is growing
nomc and sentimental, of bringing back onr
native song birds in as large numbers as pos
sible.
East Technical High School is making for the
city forestry department 200 model bird houses
which viii be placed in various parks Some
OF them have already been delivered. 1t is fine
piece of cooperation between two branches of
municipal activity
Forester Boldly has prepared list Of fruit
hearing trees, shrubs and vines that furnish
food for birds which will be a help for those
who wish TO put out bird houses about their
own premises. The time is at hand when the
native birds return from the warmer climate
and will he seeking nesting spots.
II is all an excellent bit of city government

should result i'm widespread revival of interest

may be considered 10 represent the same senti-
ment which demands of the present Legislature

The Air Raiders

FTNHH raid on Antwerp by British airshps
i has more apparent justification in military
strategy than the German alrship raid on
london. The British airmen deliberately were
bent on the destruction of German submarines
IA dock at Antwerp. They held persistently
20 their course until they came to the place
where the submarines were resting; then
they descended TO within 900 feet Of the
Asround, dropped bombs on the vessels and
Escaped.
But II is difficult to understand what pur-
pose the Germans are seeking to accomplish
- dropping bombs in the residence districts
- f.es.seR and Paris They might even de-
sfroy the Houses OF Parliament without
Weakening the military efficiency OF the Brit
Ish and they might wreck the Louvre with
out anectins the power of the French armies.

Relaxation in Conversation

DOLITICS and religion have long been in
i the list of subjects to be avoided in a
promiscuous company. This is because per-
sons differ so widely in their views and hold
them with such great tenacity that discus
sion of them is liable to degenerate into dis
pute and disturb the genial friendliness OF
the company.
AS social gatherings are for relaxation,
the allowable topics of conversation are
those which touch upon ones amusements.
There is little opportunity for controversy in
talking about the concerts one has heard,
the lectures one has listened to, the plays
one has seen, or what one thought of the
latest novel.
If the women, tired with household cares,
would talk of their reaXations when they
meet, instead of their servants, or their
clothes, or of the cost of things, they would
find life less wearing. Indeed, the cost OF
things should be forgotten when they are
paid for, and clothes are worn for covering
and adornment, rather than to supply topics
of conversation; and in the we-ordered
household the bunders of the servants are
kept in the kitchen where they were made.
The worrying things are as improper topics
for conversation as the controversial ones.
