In normal years there would be

before the decline of Harvard, the
demise of Yale and the general grand
upsetting that has made 1915 the
weirdest season ever.
Today, for almost the first time in
history, Harvard and Princeton
must share spotlight honors with
smaller and heretofore despised
rivals. For the .Pittsburgh-Washing-

today is every bit as important as the
Harvard-Princeton muss, and in
some respects more so.

A CRACK IN THE BELL

For very many years it has been
customary to send Philadelphia's
Liberty Bell to show at big exposi-
tons around the country. The an
cient relic has served a useful as
we'll as patriotic purpose; "Meet me
at the Liberty Bell" has been a IA
vorite trysting arrangement at half
a dozen "world fairs"
Philadelphia doesn't care much
about having it's beloved bell lugged
around the country at imminent risk
of being smashed up in a railroad
accident; but the town council of
Philadelphia has been able to take
wider view. BY dint of sending
the bell under personal escort Of a
strong committee Of councilmen and
officials-all expenses paid, of course
it has been possible to convince
the junketers that a patriotic inspi-
ration was conveyed to the distant
populsce. Thus patriotism and graft

LITERACY TEST VETO

While he is in the White House
President Wilson will not perform
any act in which he will be more
entitled to take manly pride than
in his veto of the immigration meas
ure with it's literacy test.
Shocking is a mild term to de-
scribe this measure, which ignores
the debt we owe to past generations
of splendid men and women, who
came here knowing nothing of edu-
cation, but knowing everything of
honest toll, clean living, and loyal
devotion to their adopted country;
which forgets our duty to open the
door of hope to every good man
whether he knows how to read and
write or not; which, in its last
analysis, ranks lettered scoundrelism
aboye untutored industry and vir-
tue.
If it is a reproach to Congress,
many Of whose members are de-
scended from illiterate immigrants
with whom we gladly shared our
abundance of opportunities to our
honor and their elevation, if it is a
stigma upon some of those members
who are not themselves far removed
from illiteracy that such an un-
American measure, at whatever
instigation, could pass both the SEN
ate and the House, it is a shining
credit to Mr.. Wilson that, in the face
of a possible repassage of the bill
over his veto and in the teeth of po-
litical threats, he has refused to
countenance such a disgraceful re-
pudiation by the national lawmakers
of the principles which are the very
essence of our noble Declaration of
Independence and which have been
the glory of the American people be-
fore all mankind.

BILLY SUNDAYS

His throat Is in such a condition that
1t was decided today an operation
would be necessary to prevent last

The operation Is to be performed at
Sundays home at 1914 Spring Gar

burgh. who has attended the evan
gelist in previous campaigns in other
cities. The date set for the operation
is February 9.

CHICACO'S MAYORALTY

Can a man with the name of Car
ter Harrison be defeated for mayor
of Chicago? The record suggests a
negative answer. The elder Carter
Harrison was elected, if recollection
does not mistake, four times; the last
time, with the city's press practical
ly unanimous in opposition. After his
death the magic Of the name was
chiefly responsible for Democratic
leaders turning to a son who bore
the same name; and five times he
has been elected; four times for
terms of two years, and the fifth
time for four years. Twelve of the
last eighteen years this younger
Harrison has been mayor of the Sec
ond city of the land.
An election is approaching, and
the enemies of Harrison, inside his
own party as well as out, have
thrown down the gauntlet to the
Harrison tradition. The Republi-
cans, Progressives, and an import
ant element of non-partisans have
undertaken to act together, and in
the primary they will choose as
their candidate either Judge Olson
of the municipal court, or William
Hale Thompson. Either, it is be-
lieved, can pretty well command the
united strength of the elements that
have undertaken to get together
and it is generally believed that
Judge Olson will be named.
The Democratic situation is Civ.
ing alarm to party leaders. Mayor

have been jointly served, and II has
been a soft thing for the touring
parties.
But there's a rift in the lutte;
properly, a new crack in the bell; f;
and it worries Philadelphia about
whether the junket ought to be per-
mitted for the benefit of the San
Francisco fair--and the council
junketers. A. big protest against
further trips for the bell has been
submitted, but the feeling is that
the old system will win, and q cross
country trip at public expense will
be provided for a bunch of organi-
zation leaders who feel that they
need the air.
There. certainly is a crack in the
Liberty Bell, all right, when 1t is
made a pretext for such nasty graft
as this.
The Washington times., 1915-01-29
SOME SECOND
THOUGHTS

1t has always been the policy Of
belligerents, the United States not
excepted, to do all in their power to
suffocate their enemies. This coun-
try during the civil war sought to
prevent the Confederacy from re-
ceiving not only foodstuffs and war
munitions, but even medicines and
bandages, and copper was included
In our contraband list. The cases
OF the Peterhoff and Springbok
stand out prominently, and it may
be difficult to maintain now a posi-
tion which contradicts the principles
involved in those cases, which were
decided against Great Britain and in
favor of the United States.
But aside from precedents which
we ourselves have set, and while in
sisting that legitimate trade shall
not be interfered with, the possibil-
ity that this country may itself be
involved in a foreign war should
give pause to those who would COM
pei England to recede from her at
titude on the doctrine of continuous
voyage. The possibility of war is
the only reason for the agitation in
favor Of an increase in our military
and naval establishments. For the
sake of argument, admit that we
some day shall have to fight Japan.
Half the war would be won if the
American forces should succeed in
preventing Japan from securing
supplies. Japan is a country with.
out great natural resources. Where
would she obtain her copper, or man,
ufactured munitions, her foodstuffs
her coal? Europe must be her chief
source of supply, or dependencies OF
Europe, but if the United States
warships intercepted, say, the ships
from Liverpool laden with condi
aonal contraband and bound fol

USELESS CONTROVERSY

While war levies its toll of men,
millions, and misery, two eminent
diplomatists, DR.. Won Bethmann-
Hollweg, the German imperial chan
cellor, and Sir Edward Grey, British
secretary of state for foreign af-
fairs, continue a somewhat casuist-
ical debate upon the precise conno-
tation of the formers now classic
phrase, "a scrap of paper"
1t may be possible, by rebuttal
and surrebuttal, to prolong this dip
lomatic discussion ad infinitum with
out convincing America, for whose
benefit the display is primarily in
tended, of anything but the dexter
ity of the disputants. Both sides
make out a plausible case; and as all
the evidence submitted is in the form
Of recollections Of heated CONVEX
sation, neither side can we'll hope to
make its case anything more than
plausible.
Meanwhile there is no doubt that
the Belgians are the sufferers
The Moving Finger writes, and, having
writ.
Moves on; nor all your Piety nor wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all your Tears wash out a Word
of 1t.
The German chancellor and the
British foreign secretary may go on
making verbal thrusts until the
crack Of doom and the injury
wrought by the fateful "scrap of
paper" will be not one jot abated.
Whether England or Germany is
right, the brunt is borne by Bel
gium; her lot is pillaged land, a
shattered army, and a harried peo-
pie.

who is vice chairman of that committee,

Miss Adds has contributed largely to

But the fund had planned to use in
starting the project has been diverted
to other uses. because of the long wait
for Congress to take action.
Remember, we asked Congress fol
no money. The school officials were
strongly in favor of the idea There
was no opposition to the plan. But

BUY 1T MOVE" RIGHT
NOW

BUY It Now" doesn't mean buy it
next month or next spring or next
summer. It means buy now, and
get the benefits in better business
next month, next spring, and next
summer. 1t needs no argument to
demonstrate that the country loses
a vast amount Of wealth by failing
to produce it. The man who is idle
consumes, but does not produce; con-
sumes less than he otherwise would,
but yet consumes. If his labor is
worth 81 a day, he adds 81 day
to the wealth of the community ev-
cry day he works; and as employ
ment is the normal, natural, proper
condition of the working community,
it is apparent that every day Of .ex-
tensive unemployment means vast
loss in wealth; a loss that must be
made up by drawing on existing
stores.
If there are 100000 unemployed
workers in the country, whose po-
tential daily contribution of wealth
is only $1.25 a dayl it means over
100000 a day sacrificed by reason
Of their idleness. If they remain idle
three months, that means a loss of
near q half-billion of dollars; and
that is half the annual cost Of main
tanning this billion-dollar Govern
ment!
The point about "Buy 1t Now" is
that employment is the most con-
tagiouf thing in the world-except
perhaps unemployment. Set a man
at work laying brick, and he sets
another man at work manufacturing
and another transporting them.
These set others at work producing
the things they consume; and the
endless chain is Immediately pulling
with ever-increasing power for pros
perity.
1t is nothing less than a commun-
ity duty, imposed upon whoever is
able, to keep capital at work now.
Nobody doubts that times are going
to be better; that new stocks Of
goods will be demanded, new build
ings occupied, more materials re-
quired. It is just a question whether
we shall wait a year for things to
improve themselves, or shall go to
work now and improve them. There
is only one answer. Prosperity
would be here a week after every
body would agree that-it was here.
Buy it now! Do it now! Build it
now! Hire him now!

CARS IN THE PARK

The removal of the Botanic Gar
den from the foot of the Capitol to
Rock Creek Park will serve a dou-
ble purpose. It will give a chance
to develop and expand the garden,
impossible now in the limited area
occupied, and it will furnish an ad-
ditional argument for running a car
line through Rock Creek Park to
make the attractions of that reser-
vation accessible.
Already the Zoo, the many land
marks having an historic interest,
and the natural beauty Of the seem
cry, would attract thousands if there
were convenient access. Hundreds
Of visitors to Washington would
like the ride through the park If
such facilities were available as the
park railway in Fairmont Park.
In summer automobilists by the
score hearken to the lure Of the Cap
ital's beauty spot; but those who can
afford only car tickets have small
chance to enjoy the beauties Of
either Rock Creek Park, or Of Po-
tomac Park with its long stretches
by the river front.
Congressman Gardner Of Massa-
chusetts agitated the wider use of
Washington's parks by making them
more accessible; but in his concern
in military matters, he seems to
have lost sight Of the fight he was
about to make for this boon for

Harrison has not been an adherent
of the Roger Sullivan organization.
Instead, the two have been bitter op-
ponents for a long time, and Sulli-
van charges that Harrison knitted
him in his candidacy for Senator
last fall. To make this personal
issue just as clear as possible, the
Sullivan forces are backing Robert
M. Sweitzer, a brother-in-law Of
Sullivan, for the Democratic nomi-
nation. Harrison, after hesitating
for a time, has entered his name.
Women will vote in primary and
election; and there is great concern
as to how they will line up. Judge
Olson looks like a particularly
strong appeal to them, because Of
his works of practical reform since
he has been head Of the municipal
court. He is not pushing the liquor
issue into the campaign, but it is
forcing itself in; the "dry" element
believes that Olson is' the best can
didate for their purposes. This is,
Of course, a weakness as we'll as q
strength to him. Underneath other
municipal problems. Chicago faces a
determined movement to drive out
the saloons, and there are not few
informed observers who confidently
believe that it will before many
years present the spectacle of one
Of the greatest cities in the world
going dry by popular vote. The
liquor issue thus influences every
lineup, and is always in every po-
ntical mind. The campaign Of this
spring will be only preliminary; but
it is expected to prove a highly i'm
portant preliminary.
