3, at the hall In the evening at 8 D. m.
At the M. 3. church, DR.. Mente on
Sunday morning spoke in behalf of
the Red Cross and in few minutes

Zeppelin raids, he presented a very
fine portrait Of Pres. Wilson, alludfng
to him as the Moses Of the goth CEN
tury, who is selected by providence to
usher in general democracy as taught
by the great teacher Of Galilea cen
turies ago, and when the American
eagle came upon the canvas, bearing
the star spangled banner, the union
jack and tri colors Of France, the
audience cheered old glory. The viewl
are Of the finest and the scenes of ole
Egypt very instructive, while scenes
from Europe strike at the very core

A CALL FOR LEADERSHIP
To the Editor Of the Evening Ledger:

To the Editor OF the Evening Ledger:
Sir-1t has become evident that some
thing is radically wrong with the health
of our city government and we must all
shoulder the blame for the unfortunate hap
penlng in our Fifth Ward, for society is
to blame for its criminals. 1t is hardly
necessary to dwell on the episode, bus let
US size up the situation as It really is and
see II there is not logical way for better
ment.
This City Of Brotherly Love should first
face the mirror and answer this question:
Is It not high time our Counoilmen were
paid q salary SO as to enable them to give
good service and their whole time TO the
very important business and in so doing
stop the drain on our City Treasury
Here let me suggest a means of getting
good. efficient help within this body. A
representative Of ability from your paper
might note the active men in Councils, their
suggestions and initiative In good legisla-
ton and their votes on matters OF vital
interest to the public. Then previous to
primaries and election their records should
be printed, guiding our better citizens to
give intelligently deserving men their vote
In this way, I believe we can lay the first
foundation to healthier body for patient
Philadelphia.
Then urge the ousting Of Magistrates
courts. Build up the Municipal Court sep
arate from political influence as far as pos
sible. 'r-
Philadelphia IL certain TO emerge through
this healthier, mentally, morally and physl-
cally, for city that saves to our nation the
foundation OF good overnment-namely, the
home--is the city that will be the envy of
those who are prone to forget in building
that the care Of home is the care or gov
ernment and the prime factor in the kind
OF administration we long for. So let me.
in behalf Of our better citizens. ask for
your leadership IN obtaining for our city
and people some Of the benefits which by
the nature Of their resources they are en-
titled to. A READER.

' VOTERS MUST END MURDER

To the Editor Of the EveniH1 Ledger:
Sir-While our young men are going

Now let every red-blooded American who
desires to rebuke such outrages for the

solve that when he goes to the polls in
November to help select the men who are to

he shall do his full duty as a self-respecting

This he can best do, and we might prop

MISUNDERSTANDING AMERICA

| THE remarkable notion seems to pre-.
l. vail in some parts of Europe that the
official statement of policy by an Amer.
! lean President, indorsed by the people,
! can be amended or withdrawn. Slow we
may be to come to a decision on matters
| international, difficult it may be for us
TO agree. But once decided, once agreed
when have we backed down, when
would we need to back down?
The Monroe Doctrine is as much a law
| as the law against murder is a law. The
American reply to the Popes appeal Is as
much a law as any treaty. No Admins
tration would dare TO make terms with an
irresponsible Kaiser, even IL 1t wanted TO,
after the publication in every language in
all lands of the American ultimatum
to autocracy. The statement Of Cardinal
Gasparri, that "the objection made by
President Wilson is easily overcome, as
the people Of the Central Powers, as we'll
as those of the Allies, are ready and will
ing to give all guarantees for the fulfill
ment of conditions leading TO Just and
lasting peace" breathes an optimism we
cannot share.
If it is true that the German people
are so near self-government as that. then
we have suffered under as cruel mis-
apprehension as any people ever enter
tanned, We have totally misunderstood
the Imprisonment of Liebknecht and the
demands of Reichstag members for a re-
sponsible ministry and for universal suf-
frage, if it is true that "the objection
made by President Wilson is easily over.
come"
The Cardinal - also reported to have
said: THE proposal OF President Wilson
to enforce democratic government in
Germany is impractical" We are not
trying to enforce democratic government
in Germany; members of the Reichstag
are trying to do that. The President
said: I'VE cannot take the word of the
present rulers Of Germany as a guaran
tee Of anything that is to endure, unless
explicitly supported by such conclusive
evidence Of the will and purpose of the
German people themselves as the other
peoples Of the world would be justified in
accepting. We must await some new evil
dence of the purposes of the great peoples
of the Central Powers"
We have not asked the German people
to govern themselves; we have asked
them to state clearly whether It is really
their purpose to help their Kaiser to con-
quer Europe and defy America and Asia.
If that is their purpose, they may form
the most advanced form of republic in
the world tomorrow without saving
themselves from the necessity of fighting
war to exhaustion.

ARGENTINA'S MEASLES

ARGENTINA is having its carefully
n staged food shortage, big railroad
strike and all the other contrivances that
German agents always attempt when a
neutral nation is about to join the Allies,
We had to go through it. Every neutral
has to have it, as they used to say Of n
child with the measles. This is a case
of German measles.
Anything to keep Argentina out Of the
war is the slogan of the German agents.
No matter if the Argentine Senate
adopted by vote Of 20 to l a resolution
to break with Germany it is Berlins will
that this act be revoked. We have to
stand a great deal of lecturing from Ger.
many about interfering with her Gov
ernment. But the Germans feel free to
interfere with every Government in the
world but their own.
