Future of Shadow Lawn
Providence Journal


The sumptuous estate at Shadow
Lawn, having served as a summer
White House." it is not surprising to
near that there is a feeling in that
neighborhood in favor of making it so
permanently. Something is said about
q popular subscription to purchase it
and make it a gift to the government.
The Grant cottage and the one that
GARFIELD died in are not far away. That
may be as good a location as can be
found for a summer White House-if
anything of the kind is really needed
though there would undoubtedly be
olds from other sections, particularly
in the interior of the country, if Con-
Sress should take up the subject of
establishing one. Shadow Lawn could
probably be bought a mark down
price. 1t has had an unfortunate his
tory-in fact. it seems to have been a
white elephant for several owners,
Built by the president of one of the
life insurance companies that went
through the trying experience of the
Hughes inquisition, it came to be
konwn as McCalIs Folly. The build
ing price is said to have been a million
dollars. but in the course of its chang
ing ownership a sheriff's hammer
Knocked it down to less than a quarter
of that sum. Nobody seems to have
had much use for Shadow Lawn.
Whether the United States would have

Universal Peace a Dream?
.[Omaha Bee.1

A contribution to one of the current
magazines upon The Dream of Uni
versal Peace" carries in Its very cap
ton gentle suggestion that universal
peace is nothing but a dream. BY any
definition a dream is merely a vision,
and, at that, a vision which is unreal
and we must all admit that up to the
present moment the idea of universal
peace has always been and still is a
hgment of the imagination-fictio
rather than fact
Universal peace presupposes either
extingufshment of the incentive for
men to make war upon one another or
incapacfty to fight or substitution of
peaceful means of settling inter-
national differences. Attainment of
the first condition is certainly remote,
for it is nothing short of the uninter-
rupted reign of brotherly love. The
second condition is embodied in no
practicable proposal except that of
mutual disarmament, and this would
have to be concomitant with the third
suggestion of the establishment of a
world court whose decree would be
accepted through the very futility of
resistance.
Whether plans for providing this
machinery of peace mature fast or
slow, the dream. in the sense that IT
is wish and something to be strived
fora goal which we may approach
even though we may never reach it,
will persist and grow stronger in its
inspiration. Paradoxically, the in
tangible dream of universal peace is
the one thing all nations are willing to
fight for.

JUNGLE JOHN" BRASHEAR
MOST DISTING UISHED CITIZEN

Whenever Doctor Brashear delivers
a lecture to-day, whether 1t be to a
group of the nations most distinguish
ed scientists or to a schoolroom of little
children, he testifies to the mighty
driving power given his life by his
wires love and companionship.
For six years her ashes have rested
In the crypt of the Keeler Memorial
Dome. with companion place ready
TO receive his own. And upon the wall
or that crypt the scientist has caused
these words to be craven:
We have loved the stars too fondlv
To be fearful of the night,
The twelve-inch telescope which the
Brashears made after the first one
broke was as large as those possessed
py many universities. In the years that
followed the millwright became verv
much as an astronomer. He was so
anxious for other people to share his
knowledge and love of the stars that
he often used to write letters to the
newspapers about unusual happenings
in the heavens.
Instruments invented and nerfectaa
by Doctor Brashear have made 1t pos
slole for us to determine, where orr
fathers only speculated; to be precise.
where they We're approximate; to
know, where they guessed From his
workshop have gone forth instruments
or widely divergent uses but of uniform
precision. The Brashear photo -chrono-
sraph that measures the speed of a
cannon ball is no less wonderful than
the glass plane thirty inches in dia-
meter with no part of the surface vary-
ing millionth of an inch from a per-
feet plane.

TERRAPN TALK

TINE Baltimore American sheds
i tears of anguish over the price
of diamondback terrapin-s12O
a dozen-and urges Eastern Shore fish
ermen to take up seriously artificial
propagation of this fast disappearing
type of turtle.
The American is talking twenty
miles over the head of Mr.. Average
Consumer. If the editor wants COM
pany in his misery, let him weep over
the price of eggs and -four, or bacon
and potatoes-or. if he must talk in
terms of luxuries. let him sob over the
soaring cost Of Thanksgiving turkey
In that case we would all join him and
mourn en- masse, so to speak.
But, grow heartbroken over SO

to proud place on the menu of mil

Drummer AND MANNING

MO time has been lost by the Board
~ of Public Grounds and Buildings
in getting Arnold W. Drummer
and Warren H. Manning busy on their
study of the proposed permanent
treatment of the Capitol Park zone.
In fact, it wasn't necessary to even
urge an immediate study of the prob
lem upon these distinguished planners:
they had already made a preliminary
inspection of the property. and it is
certain that some comprehensive sug-
gestions will come from their collabo-
ration.
The typographical surveys of the old
and new sections of the Capitol Park.
which were completed by the young
engineers of the State College some
time ago. and all other data in the
hands of Superintendent Rambo were
forwarded to Mr.. Brunner immediately
after the conference a few days ago.
and it is expected Governor Brum-
baugh will submit the drawings and
recommendation of the landscape
architects to the Legislature early in
the SESSION.
Not only does the study contemplate
the landscape treatment and the
widening of the streets abutting on the
Capitol grounds. but also embraces the
proposed viaduct over the Pennsylva-
mia Railroad lines at State street and
the incidental treatment of the whole
district leading to the eastern entrance
of the city.
1t is indeed fortunate that the three
officials comprising the Board of Pub
lie Grounds and Buildings-Governo
Brumbaugh. State Treasurer Young
and Auditor General Powell-are SO
greatly interested in the working out
OF this problem, which means so much
to the future of the Capitol environ
ment

She Was Shopping

She had been sitting in the furniture
shop for nearly two hours, inspecting
the stock of linoleums. Roll after roll
the perspiring assistant brought out,
but still she seemed dissatisfied. From
her dress he judged her to be a person
of wealth, and thought 1t likely she
would have a good order to give.
When Mt last he had shown her the
last roll he paused in despair.
I'm very sorry. madam" he said
alphabetically. "but If you could wait
could get some more pieces from the
factory. Perhaps you would call
again."
The prospective customer gathered
her belongings together and rose from
the chair.
"Yes. do" she said, with a gracious
smile. land ask them to send you one

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
= THE METHODIST MEETING
ls Editor of the Telegraph:

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
Pennsylvania Methodists are to be
congratulated on initiating and carry
ing forward to completion their great
convention of men which has Just
closed its three-day session in this
city. l was a silent spectator of the
proceedings and will say that for genu-
inc enthusiasm, eloquent addresses
and the spirit of intense devotion to
truth 1T was an extraordinary series of
meetings.
The program was q world program
and the eminent speakers. many OF
them experts in their several depart
ments. had to do with mobilizing the
Methodist public for the great move
ment of winning men to the Gospel
standards. The subjects discussed en-
braced a wide range, including educa-
ton and civic righteousness, the
greater efficiency of the laity, the mis-
sionary propaganda, the prohibition
OF the liquor traffic, evangelism, facing
squarely the problems of the present
day.
1t became evident to your corre-
spondent that there was something
doing in Methodism when the great
crowds filled convention hall, men
coming from all parts of the state en-
tertaining themselves and paying So
for the privilege of seat. The key
note was happily struck in the opening
session with the discussion on the
value of prayer in the effort of lifting
the burdens of the world into the light.
The Methodists profess joyous Chris
tianity and so glad notes of song were
heard at each session. What processes
of thought have been stirred! What
aspirations leading to duty and what
resolute purposes were formed none
can tell. The direct and indirect re-
suits of the whole movement are to be
furthered by the distribution of 5000
copies of the proceedings

HTHEN Governor Brumbaugh Sc
wv lected John A. Brashear, the
white-haired instrument maker
of Pittsburgh, as the most distinguish
ed man in Pennsylvania, there were
many who wondered and then learned
to admire the famous millwright, the
associate of scientists. Some weeks
ago clever magazine writer told the
story of Uncle John" Brashear's life
and that of his good wife, his helpmeet.
Here are few paragraphs:
Doctor Brashear's life has inspired
more people than all the sermons ever
preached in Pittsburgh" a business
man told me.
The story of that life, the evangeI of
mechanic and his wife who followed
an ideal for twenty years. and then
found fame without losing happiness,
is one which Uncle Johns" friends
never tire of telling.
In the street cars. going to and from
work, the. young mechanic studied
mathematics and physics and astron-
omy. Every night he would find the
shop tidted up, tools in order, the en-
gine, which he had built himself, clean
ed and oiled, and steam up in the boiler.
Sometimes they would work until
one or two o'clock in the morning,
grinding and polishing with infinite
care. For three years, they worked
night after night, on that first five-inch
lens, and when it was at last finished,
Brashears wrapped it up in a red ban
danna handkerchief and went blithely
over the hills to Professor Langley of
the Allegheny Observatory to ask ad-
vice about the mounting.
They cut hole in the attic roof,
poked the nose of the telescope through
it-and the magnified heavens were at
last before them. For hours that night
they stood together under the roof.
and the next day they sent out an invi-
tation to the neighbors to come and
see the stars, too.
I'VE used to love to think that our
stars up there were giving a new range
to the thoughts of those around u.s.
said Doctor Brashear.

FACTS CoNTRovERT CLAIMS

GAYS a leading Democratic editor
~ on the Pacific coast:
In the past three and one-half
years, every act by the American
Government has been a move to
make prosperity.
Prosperity for whom?
At the time the Wilson administra-
ton came into power, we were selling
other nations more goods than we
were buying from them. From the
date of the enactment of the Under
wood tariff law. the drift of trade was
reversed. In May, 1914, we were buy
ing from other nations more than we
were selling to them. and that condi-
ton continued until a month after the
outbreak of the war.
The acts that made for prosperity
in this country were not the acts of
this government. but the acts of the
governments that went into war.

BARKING UP THE WRONG TREE

4 NdlCAGO Is trying the experiment
~ of Scent meals. The idea is to
prove that the cost of living can
be reduced. II there exists the will to
sacrifice the good things Of the table
for the substantials.
Perhaps Scent meals are possible.
It Is to be suspected that they are.
But the Chicago authorities are ap-
preaching the problem from the wrong
angle. America is producing far more
foodstuffs than it can use. It's people
are hard working, peacefully disposed
and enterprising. They are attending
20 their own affairs. They are pros
porous In proportion to their industry.
Europe. on the other hand. is engaged
in professional murder on a gigantic
scale. No longer producers, the men
Of the opposing armies have become
merely destroyers and consumers.
The question naturally arises, why
should America be required to feed
these military millions? Why assess
every American for the folly of send
ing our own food supplies abroad?
Americans no doubt do need some
lessons in the gentle art of pairing the
grocery bill, but when governmental
authorities endeavor to teach the con-

WHAT NEXT?
r>HE fate of the Adamson law in
the Supreme Court of the

"HE fate of the Adamson law in
the Supreme Court of the
United States in all probability
Is forecasted by the decision of the
district court declaring it to be uncon-
stitutional.
The opinion was widely expressed at
the time the bill was framed that it
would not stand in court, for the rea-
son it favored one set of employees
over another. and. therefore, was class
legislation. Members of Congress and
newspapers Joined in asserting the
belief that President Wilson, playing
only for reelection. had handed labor
q gold brick. If friends of the Presi-
dent think that may be putting the
case too strongly, it must be apparent
that the President did act without due
tion and in unseemly haste.
With the eight-hour day there can
be no quarrel. The printing trades,
for example, have had it for years, and
many other trades organizations with
them. In all cases conditions have
adjusted themselves to the change.
But with the manner in which the
Adamson law was enacted we may, as
citizens, file very decided objections.
The dignity and indeed the very sta
bility of the government were put in
Jeopardy by the political expedient of
an administration with an eye only to
its immediate advantage. And to
what end? Merely that election day
should come and go before the rail-
road men learned how they had been
buncoed.
When the Supreme Court shall have
thrown out the Adamson act, what
next? To what new humiliation will
the President submit? Or will he
show himself in his true colors, as he
stood before the thought of a political
career entered his calculations-one
of the most intolerent enemies organ
tzed labor has ever known?
No he An1x
