GUNMEN IN UNIFORM

TNHE killing Of the Kippax boy. on the
l. state Of Facts as disclosed yesterday
seems to have been little short of murder.
The most grave offense of which he
could be suspected was that of breaking
into a candy store. He fled when the
police approached and because he did not
stop at their command he was fired at.
Four bullets entered his body. The po.
lice explain that they did not intend to
kill him, but only to frighten him AS
they were very near him when he was
climbing the fence, the most that can be
said in extenuation is that they are very
poor marksmen, if they were firing in the
air instead of at the boy
The question to be decided is whether
the police are justified in killing person
who refuses to halt at their command. 1t
will be admitted that the person should
halt But few will admit that disregard
OF such a command is capital offense
justifying any officer in summary execu
refuses to halt is suspected of murder or
other heinous crime common practice
iustifies the use of firearms to compel
the fugitive to surrender himself. But
robbing a candy store is a petty crime.
1t is about time that the Director of
Public Safety took matters into his own
hands and issued \ peremptory orders
against the reckless use of firearms by the

CONCERNING BOURBONS

10 INt ruttoT " iHt i1ttHtHU fS'"D'f'
Sir-As the author of the introduction
to the book entitled "The Manufacturers
Side of Certain Proposed Legislation"
which you criticized so severely in your
issue of Friday February 0, may / beg
space for a reply?
You head your editorial 'rhe Wall OF
Bourbonism," and in the text you refer to
the manufacturers who contributed to the
book and, of course, to the members or the
twenty-nine manufacturers associations
who belong to the Pennsylvania Trade
Secretaries, as "Bourbons"
Let me remind you that thes calling of
names is no argument. Any one can call
names. In pointing out that you have either
not read not represented fairly the tn
PRODUCTION and the various articles con-
tained in this book as published by the
Pennsylvania Trade Secretaries, | might
easily call you an ignorant blatherskite but
/ assure you that / have no intention of
doing so, nor would it In the least
strengthen my case II did.
That you should have the temerIty TO
stigmatize such men as Mr.. Nathan T. Fol-
we'll for example, as Bourbon" speaks
i'll not only for your manners, but Tor your
historicaR information. Mr.. Folwell, and for
that matter all the other prominent manu-
facturers who have contributed articles to
the book in question, are no more Bourpons
than you are Dantonists.
The Bourbons were members of a royal
family who were born with golden spoons in
their mouths, and who never performed
any useful service to mankind.
The majority of manufacturers in this
State were at one time members of the
wage-earning class which you refer to so
lovingly. They have risen to their present
stations through merit and ability, and as
employers of labor they are,of much wider
service to their communities than they
could possibly have been had they remained
individual wage-earners
Is II not reasonable to suppose that such
men are In a better position to predict the
results of proposed Industrial legislation
than you would be?
Does not your sweeping condemnation,
both of the men and of their opinions, prove
tho truth of the assertion made in the in
PRODUCTION which you singled out for criti-
cism:
The manufacturers side is one not
often presented. The other side Is be-
ing constantly discussed in print and
from the platform. Occasionally one
sees in the newspapers a brief and
sometimes garbled statement from q
manufacturer touching upon one or
more Of the subtects treated IN this

CHE" ALSO MEANS "SHE"

To the Editor OF the EUenthg LedgeE
Sr-There has been considerable specula-
ton as to whether Jeanette Rankin, who
was elected to Congress from Montana, will
be permitted to take her seat when the
sixty-ffth Congress convenes. The ques-
tion of her eligibility grows out of the
wording of Article !, Section of the
Federal Constitution. Section reads cas-
follows: mo person shall be a Represent
ative who shall not have attained the age
of twenty-five, and been seven years a
citizen of the United States, and who shall
not, when elected, be an inhabitant of that
state in which he shall be chosen" Be-
cause the word "he" appears therein it is
contended that Miss Rankin is not eligible
for membership in Congress.
But this is nothing to quibble over and
Miss Rankin will be seated, as she should
be. We do not hesitate to use the word
'man" or the masculine pronoun, che" gen.
orally: Hereafter. Congressman will mean
either male or female member of Congress.
Surely the world "do move" and woman
Is keeping pace with 1t. even though she has
had to make n great fight for her right to
enter the race-course. II. b.

PHONES MADE TRUSTS

The telephone, not the tariff, has made
the trusts. We have had the tariff in this
country for a hundred years or more, but
the trusts are barely more than a quarter
of a century old And II you will look into
the question you will find that the last
twenty-five years about marks the de-
velopment of the long distance telephone.
1t was that development that made it pos
sible for a man to sit in his Office in New
York, or Chicago or San Francisco, gauge
instantly business conditions across the
country and give his order on the moment
to his lleutenants. And / firmly believe
that If the age Of electricity should cease
tomorrow-at the crack of finger, as It
were-within twenty-four hours every one
of our big trusts would begin to dlsn-
tegrate Big business does not merely thrive
on communication. 1t is vital to its very
existence-Collier's.

BOOZE ON THE RUN

Commissioner of Internal Revenue, there
were 1413 breweries in the United States
in 1914 During 1915 this number was re-
duced by forty-one, and during 1916 1t was
further reduced by forty, there now being
1882 breweries in the country. The stalls
tics further show that there were 743 dis
tilleries in the United States in 1914. Dur

this number, and during 1916 thirty more
went out OF business. leaving total in

American Citizenship

L. C-The Fourteenth Constitutional
Amendment states: "All persons born or
naturalized in the United States, and SUBJ
Ject to the jurisdiction thereof. are citizens
of the United States and of the State
wherein they reside" However, this is so
construed as to mean that a boy born in
this country of alien parents does not
attain citizenship until he arrives at the
age OF twenty-one years and chooses
American citizenship in preference to that
of his father. State Department officials
are reported as having made this ruling in
the case OF the o'Donnell children. born
in Philadelphia, OF British parents. ana
killed in the sinking Of the liner Cali
fornia. Many authorities on international
law dispute this ruling

permanent certificates now receiving $50
shall receive $50. The only serious crit
icism that can be made of these changes
is that they do not go far enough. The
highest figure is lower than the weekly
wage Of the SO 3a-day laborers here. The
money can be found to pay a living wage
to school teachers throughout the state.
Taxpayers who think will gladly CON
tribute all that is necessary, for they
know that every dollar honestly spent
on the public schools is an investment In
citizenship which will yield n hundred
fold in the years to come.

NO CLASS SPIRIT IN MILITARY
SERVICE

THERE are many conflicting shades of
l. opinion about military training, vary
ing all the way from demand for purely
volunteer service to that for universal
compuson. All the more urgent is it,
then, that irrelevant considerations be
thrown out, so that some compromise
agreeable to the majority may be reached
The chief irrelevancy that saps vigor
of thought on this subject is that there
may be no war" Many who think there
is virtually no chance of serious fighting
even in the event of war, allow this
gambling spirit to color their sense of re-
sponsibility. The chances for or against
war form their idea of the kind of mill
tary service we should have, whereas it
ought only to affect their idea of the
amount of military service we should
have. So when they feel like betting ten
to one there will be no war, they are for
volunteer service: and when they feel
like betting ten to one there will be war
they are for compulsory service. But
whether the chances of war are a gam
bling proposition or a call for reasonable
preparation for possibilities, there should
be the same rule for the enlistment of a
maximum of 100000 men as for that of
100000. Whether we think a few dozen
Americans are TO be killed in war or
other disorder In the next year or two, or
many thousands of Americans we have
no right to say what class of Americans
shall sacrifice their lives.
This is what we have done in the past.
BY pure volunteerism we have decreed,
in effect, that only men of a certain sta
ton in life or certain traits shall take
the risks of dangerous patriotic service.
II is as If we had decreed that mo
American need take the risk of military
service unless he shall have been deprived
of a firstrate education and feel out of
place in the industrial world, or unless
he shall be a daredevil who is looking
for trouble" SO we decreed that the
twenty men who had to die at Vera Cruz
should not be college men or artisans or
clerks. but just any chaps who had been
poor enough or foolhardy enough to want
to bear arms.
Now there was never time when there
was less chance of being able to raise a
volunteer army under present methods,
because of heavy demand for labor that
keeps all whites busy and is even calling
hitherto idle negroes of the South into
factories. II is, then, not only a demo
cratic sense of justice debating that all
classes should supply their share Of men.
but also a necessity. And in meeting that
necessity justice and democracy should
guide ways and means. The measure for
universal training favorably reported to
the Senate seems fair TO all. II prescribes
six months training to begin in the nine
teenth year, after which the soldier or
sailor goes into the reserve, from which,
until he is twenty-nine. he may be called
upon for national defense. II applies TO
all who are physically qualified, rich or
poor, except those with relatives de.
pendent on their earnings.
Those who are betting on peace will
say this puts too many In arms, and those
betfing on war win cay II puts too few.
