criticised course, and is 1t not a pretty
clear reading of the Presidents mind
as that of a man obsessed with the
fear of war of any sort? The phrase
on many lips, "He kept us out of war"
sounds sweet in the Presidents ears,
but he underestimates in his jealous
appeal for votes on that score the
patriotic willingness of Americans to
defend their rights and the funda-
mentals of their government at all
cost.
All the Presidents explaining" will
not wipe out the fact that he yielded
to the demands of an infinitesimal per-
centage of the countgy's population
without regard for the 100000, 900
whose interests were interrelated.
When he told his audience that "the
business of government is to see that
no other organization is as strong as
itself. to see that no body or group of
men, whatever their private interest is,
may come into competition with the
authority of society,"" he convicted
himself Of being guilty of gross vio-
lation of that very principle. 1t is the
old, old story Of fine words and deeds
exactly the opposite. What shall we
say of a man who tenders the white
flag with one hand while with the
other he passes out to reporters in
waiting a high-sounding speech the
text of which is Die. But Never Sur
render?

case. and he is given the same SYM
pathetic attention accorded to his
wife.
The data obtained from the two in
terviews is carefully studied for the
next step, a face-to-face meeting of
husband and wife. The stories of each
nave been carefully analysed, and at
this stage in the proceedings Mrs. Rip
pins real work of mending begins.
We have few fights here every
day. she says. II believe in bringing
a man and woman together in this Of
flee and letting them scrap it out. We
frequently have fist fights, and have
to separate the fighters. But are not
few blows worth it, when the dis
cussion involves the bringing up of
five or six children? Whatever 1t Is
that has been boiling inside the man
and woman boils out of them.'
But the wife-husband conference is
always informal-and generally peace
full. The cases of first complaints to
the Probation Department in 1915
numbered 4,2S7, and the restorations
to a happy and married existence
numbered 1904. Four events may
happen at this conference; recon-
ciliation; further investigation and
visits to people who know the belliger-
ents; voluntary agreement for the
payment of money for support, and
the last desperate step of q warrant
to appear before the formal court.
Every effort is made to avoid the
fourth move. Last year Mrs. Rippin's
assistants paid 1928 visits and talked
with 27,224 people before the erring
husband was submitted to the COM
pelling power of the law.
When love cannot be revived, and
1t becomes dollar-and- cents PROPOSE
ton, Mrs. Rippin's workers look
sharply after collections. While de-
partnent stores make an allowance of
ten per cent. for collecting from un-
willing debtors, Mrs. Rippin's collec-
tions cost only three and one-haIf per
cent; and she took, last year, $409,-

Vlously ceased to give anythingi

trouble in the thousand cases analyzed
was in families living in rented
houses, not small three-room houses
either, but comfortable 6ve-room
dwellings,"
Another finding from Mrs. Rippin's
interesting data is the destructive
agency of religious differences There
is more trouble arising from those
married by religious rites than by

MRS. JANE DEXTER RIPPIN
MEMBER OF BROKEN HEARTS

C>TANLEY JOHNSON. writing in
y the October American Magazine
~ under the caption. "A Mender of
Broken Hearts," has this to say of
Mrs. Jane Deeter Rippin, who before
her marriage was Miss Jane Deeter,
of this city, where she is very we'll
known:
Mrs. Jane Deeter Rippin might
well be called The Mender of Broken
Hearts" But Philadelphia's judicial
stamping machine has given her the
less direct and less euphonious title
of Supervisor of the Probation De-
partments of Domestic Relations,
Criminal and Misdemeanor Branches
of the Municipal Court.
This name seems altogether too
much of an extra load to be carried
by woman who in 1915-she has
shown me the advance type proofs of
the story of her work for the last
year-accomplished these splendid re-
suits:
One thousand warning couples
restored to harmonious family
life.
Three thousand children saved
from the blighting effects of be-
Ing reared by strangers.
Three hundred and ninety
seven INDECENT parents relieved
from want and the possibility Of
institutional care.
Three thousand eight hundred
and thirty-two husbands forced to
recognize their responsibilities to
their wives and children.
Mrs. Rippin is smoothing out do
mestic wrangles in the City of Broth
erly Love with always increasing sue
cess-to the utter dismay of those le-
gal sharks who supply divorces at a
fixed rate. She is an interpretive
physchologist, revealing to married
men and women the folly of their
quarrels. Before she began her work,
two years ago, Mrs. Rippin studied
the manner of the divorce courts.
Since then she has built up a wonder
full organization for healing hearts.
There are sewenty-seven persons
working under Mrs. Rippin's direc-
tions, day and night. The number of
nonsupporting and deserting husband
cases average one hundred and eighty
five day. When an afflicted wife
appears at room SIS in Philadelphia IS
twenty million dollar City Hall,
she meets an officer of the court, then
files statement of the grievance, and
receives an Identification number.
Then comes an interview in which
the applicant is given the fullest free
dom and sympathy. She is made to
realize that she is going to be helped.
When the story is finished, it is fully
recorded on a second form. The
woman is told to return in a week.
A letter is then sent to the offending
husband, and he is asked to call for
a friendly talk in five days. Nine
times out of ten he comes Another
interviewer listens to his side of the

Pet Whale Killed

No more will travellers on the liners
be greeted with the spout of 'Faral-
lone Charley" the mammoth gray
back whale which has for years
greeted vessels off the Golden Gate.
Cy Wilmarth. chief steward on the
steamer Matsonia, from Honolulu,
brought the news that on the outgo-
ing trip "Farrallone Charley" was
sighted in death duel with another
and larger whale.
Passengers on the liner witnessed
the uneven contest for half an hour.
When the Matsonia arrived here
and it was learned that dead whale
had fioated on the beach below Point
Sur, and as their pet whale did not
greet them on the way into port the
officers aboard the liner have con-
cluded that "Farralone Charley" had
been vanquished. - San Francisco
Chronicle.

This is the essay of a Filipino sailor
who was told to write about George
Washington:
George Wassingham was sore be-
cause Americal persons is not free.
He sale to England on (naming his
own battleship) ship and say to king,
I express declaration of indypenpen-
dence for American persons King he
say 'Nothin' doin'' and Mr.. Wassing-
ham tell Admiral Dewey to shoot tur-
ret guns at him. Bime-by king, he
say he will not rule Americal persons
again. Let George do it. say king and

Courting Parlors

Many have deplored the tendency
of the boys and girls to leave the old
farm for the allurements of city life.
Sometimes, as our melodrama tells us,
they come back disillusioned, some
times with money to pay the mort
ter to stay at home. Governor Brum-
baugh makes the timely suggestion
that the lack of counting facilities
is one reason for their restleSsness.
He would have a "courting parlor,"
if necessary, in every farmhouse in
Pennsylvania. 1t should be sacred
from little Willie, or even from moth
er. The rustic lover is traditionally
shy and easily scared off. He no
longer conducts his love affairs with
the pastoral simplicity of the
"Georgics." He would not adventure
to sport with Amaryllis in the shade.
"Zekle crep' up quite unbeknown
An peeked in thru the winder,
An there sot Hubby all alone,
18th no one nigh to hender."
Hubby must be alone If Zekle is to
summon up his courage and go in.
II he has no chance to confess his
passion, he will go to town, as the
Governor says, Ito spark some woman
there" And then the lure of the city,
which the Governor somewhat unfair
ly sums up IS ''the five-cent movies"
gets him.
Pity the SORROWS of the country lad !,
But pity those too of the lad who lives
in town. Has the steady a court
ing parlor? Not often. She is bound
by the heavy laws of the res angustae
domi. Father sits in the sole room
available for company reading the
evening paper. Mother comes in from
the kitchen to tell Willie 1t is time
to go to bed. There is no opportunity
for the tender nothings that make up
the sum of courtship. When the
weather is too cold to sit in the park
there is no other resource. Some OF
the homes for girls who have none OF
their own wisely provide for this en-
ergency. May their number increase
like the tribe of Ben Adhem! Earnest
students of sociology have paid toe
scant attention to the counting par.
lor. The Governor gives good advice
which they should eagerly follow

PRESIDENTS OPENING SPEECH
DRESIDENT WILSON opened his

II
IL porch campaign at Shadow Lawn
on Saturday with a speech that
must have been a great disappoint-
ment to those Democrats who had ex-
pected he would strike vigorously some
keynote that would attract to his
dropping standard thyse voters who
are trying earnestly to decide the
. question of national leadership for the
next four years on basis of sound
and constructive craftsmanship. In
stead Of outlining in clear-cut and un-
mistakable language his views and
policies regarding the grave questions
now confronting the nation, instead of
displaying the great qualities of states
manship to which he pretends, the
President gave himself over wholly to
weak and inadequate explanation"
as to why he forced upon the country
so-called eight-hour law that is
nothing of the sort and which promises
not only to be a gold brick for those
whom 1t was supposed to benefit, but a.
stumbling block for the government
for years to come.
'icoiooht WiSoH Is an extremely
plausible gentleman and none will
deny the English language is most
ably and delightfully."- handled in this
as--in his other speeches and notes.
But there comes time when even the
most complacent people demand more
action and fewer words. The voters
this Fall are not being fooled by the
long-winded explanations" of the man
who can explain only half the things
that the people of the United States
wish to have explained.
Vera Cruz was never explained; the
Lusitania disaster is another un-
answered puzzle. The hasty rush of
our unframed troops to the border at
the Presidents command has never
been satisfactorily elucidated-and for
the President to come forward now
with long explanation supporting his
arbitrary nullification of the principle
of arbitration in the recent railroad
controversy is nothing short of insult
Ing to the intelligence of the voter.
while arbitration was being dis
cussed," said the President in his
speech of Saturday. relating in detail
the history of his negotiations with
the two sides to the railway wage dis
pute, Il had this sad thought: arbi-
tration Is word associated with the
dealings of hostile interests. 1t is an
alternative of war"
But that is just what the railroads
and the brotherhoods threatened--in-
dustrial war. Can there be any
stronger proof. therefore. that the
President. dealt the principle of arbi-
tration--a fundamental natiopal prin-
ciple-a fearful blow by his much

THE "HARDSCRABBLE" DECISION
1TARD common sense characterizes
1 the opinion of the Dauphin

~ IL
county court in the Hard
clearly and convincingly upheld the
contention of the city in all important
particulars. Whatever else is in
volved in the litigation over the con-
demnation of this strip along the river
may be determined, as the court sug-
gests, on appeals from the awards of
the board of reviewers.
Many of the property owners in the
'.Hardscrabble' district long ago in
dicated their satisfaction with the
amounts awarded by the viewers and
it is expected that City Solicitor Seitz,
who has ably represented the city in
the dispute, will at once tender the
necessary bonds and proceed to take
over the properties. Much time has
already been lost and as the one ques-
tion remaining is one of compensatory
damages the work of demolishing the
buildings and clearing the ground
may proceed without delay. 1t should
be possible to make considerable
progress before cold weather.
Meanwhile City Council will doubt
less give full consideration to the pub
lie demand for bathing and boating
facilities. These are not matters for
private initiative and the municipal
authorities need wait no longer for
public sentiment to justify provision
for these things.
With the elimination of the build
ings in the 'fHardscrabble" section the
placing of the slope in proper condi-
ton for park uses will follow as a
matter of course. Another great step
forward in the improvement of the
citys matchless river front will then
have been taken and the charm of
the Susquehanna basin will be greatly
enhanced.
