COLONEL HOUSE Is TT"

TIME peace talk has brought Colonel
House to the front once more.
The day after the news of Ger
manys proposal reached here the
President denied himself TO callers
Cancelled engagements already made
and went into conference with the
colonel. The colonel holds no official
position in the administration; he has
no responsibility; he is not better in
formed than any one of a thousand
Americans who have visited Europe
casually. But he seems to be the
master mind behind the diplomatic
moves of the administration. Beyond
impeachment, immune to a recall,
subject TO no referendum, he yet ap-
pears to possess the supreme initiative
with Mr.. Wilson.

believe that there will be no reaction
so far as the legal department is con-
cerned. First and foremost is the
Hardscrabble matter which is sched-
uled for final action, the Walnut street
bridge controversy and other subjects
of equal interest and importance.
The late Daniel S. Seitz blazed the
way for all his successors in his de-
votion to the interests of the city by
his indefatigable industry in handling
all matters affecting the welfare of the
municipality and the taxpayers and
there can be no doubt whatever. in
view of his public record, that City
Solicitor Fox will maintain the high
quality of public service o. his pre-
decessors.

DOUBTFUL REMEDY

4 NATIONAL budget system and
n the granting of authority to the
President to veto single items in
an appropriation bill without vitiating
the entire measure are thought by
some people to afford a remedy for
congressional extravaganza. That de-
pends.
The partial veto in Mr.. Wilson's
hands, for instance, would amount to
nothing if we may judge by his past
performance. Since 1918 he has sat in
silence while Congress has voted away
the public money right and left. Such
condemnation as he has had for legis-
lative eXtravagances has been reserved
wholly for private assertion. At no
time, even when the Republican fill
buster led by Senator Burton was
holding up the iniquitous rivers and
harbors bill of two years ago, did he
utter n word to show that he was in
sympathy with the movement to pro-
tect the national treasury.
The partial veto, committed to him,
would be used most frequently. We
think, as a weapon of punishment for
independent minded congressman who
would see their favorite items slaugh-
tered, while this saving at the spigot
would be accompanied by the usual
wasting at the bunghole.

\ POLE JOLT

Turing the last day or two a
II force of linemen has been en-
gagged in erecting q gigantic
pole at Walnut and Court streets to
replace pole in the same location.
From the standpoint of the pole as
pole the size in quite interesting, but
when one stops to think of the efforts
in this city to eliminate poles and
wires from the central business dis
trict this is. far from an encouraging
incident. Already Walnut street is
hedged from the river to the Pennsyl-
vania railroad with large poles sus-
tanning hundreds of wires and it
would seem to be about time for a real
effort to eliminate this network of
wires from the streets.
Time and again announcement has
been made of the plans to reduce the
number of poles and wires which
have blocked the streets for years and
some headway has been made in this
direction, but with the erection of an
other enormous pole right in the
midst of things the antipole propa-
ganda seems to have received a rude
jolt
When such enormous poles are put
up one can hardly become enthusiastic
over the near approach of open high
ways through the city. This particular
bunch of wires will not be very
attractive to the future guests of the
Penn-Harris Hotel, nor will the many
large poles in the same neighborhood
improve the outlook from the million
dollar hoste1ry.

Praises Church Publicity

letter endorsed a newspaper church
Advertising campaign conducted last
week by the Massillon (Ohio) Cham
ber of Commerce. Mr.. Wilson's COM
ment follows:
"I need not tell you that your ef-
forts to quicken the church going
habit among our people meet with my
warmest sympathy. 1t has always
seemed to me that the habit of church.
going somehow lies at the foundation
of steadfast character and the mainten-
ance Of the standards of life."

"BUFFALO BILL"

Dill, pioneer pl the O'lu W est
and apostle and developer of the
New West, hero of countless Indian
fights and hair-breadth escapes, SLAYER
of buffalo, raiser of cattle and King
of the Showmen. is dead. and with his
passing finis is written TO one of the
most picturesque and fascinating
chapters of American history.
The hard-drinking. quick-shooting,
Wild and Woolley West of former days
is gone. The sfrontier" line has been
pushed away out beyond tie Philip
pines. Indian bands pursue the wild
buffalo no more. Civilization, witt. its
prosperity and comforts, has swept the
trappings of the Indian scout into the
dust heap or relegated them to the
enclosure of the Wild West Show or
the studio" of the moving picture
maker. Practically and romance met
on the plains and, as has been true
since the earliest days of history, ro-
nance has retired, vanquished, with
lance broken and armor pierced.
Only in Buffalo Bill did the spirit of
the West that was flourish and bloom
of all that has been written or painted
of those early days when savagery
was at death grips with civilization be-
yond the Mississippi and the great
empire west of the Father of Waters
was being awakened from its sleep of
ages to become the bulwark of the
American nation and the breadbox of
MO \;
the traditions of the period. He was
striking illustration of the immense
transformation that had been wrought
within the life of one man. He was
an echo of the past, the last living
link between the wild days that were
and the prosaic present He gave to
millions upon millions of people here
and abroad very vivid picture and
a fairly accurate knowledge of condi-
tions in the West as they used TO be.
He was 4 Snowman, but such a show
man as the world has never seen and
may never see again. His entertain
ments were thrilling, but instructive:
highly entertaining, but clean to a
point where exceptions could not be
tihSh W even the IlOSl luSllQlOuS TO
a single act or feature.
The same may be said of the count
less stories of the yellow back" type
written about his name. If they were
full of adventure and had an over
abundance of siX-shooters and scalps
and blood, they never strayed to the
depths of sexual degradation that al
most all of the so-called popular
magazines" of to-day set forth for the
edification of young or old. In the
Buffalo Bill stories" the heroes were
always brave and true, the women al
ways loyal and virtuous, the william
never wanted more than to line his
own pocket with ill-gotten gains, and
he always got his just deserts. Would
that modern fiction protesting to be of
much higher type were as wholesome.
II Buffalo Bill" had his faults. they
well may be buried with him. He has
long been the nations most pic
turesque character. He now becomes
figure in history. Millions sincerely
mourn his passing.

When the German People Know

The day the people of Germany read
that calm, judicial arraignment of the
crimes committed by their government
in their name they will realize why it
is that theirs has come to be looked
upon as pariah among nations; and
that day will mark the beginning of q
real peace movement, because it will
mark the beginning of the end of
Prussianism.-New York Herald.
