Labor and Beidlenldrl

Ltrom Progressive Labor World
I'VE support our friends and op-
pose our enemies"
This is the political platform OF
the American Federation of Labor.
That this platform works was
perhaps never more conclusively
demonstrated than last Saturday,
when representatives of organized
labor in Philadelphia rendered Sem
ator Edward E. Beidleman a sur
prise party at the bellevue STRAIT
ford and pledged him their support
in his campaign to win the Repub-
lican nomination for Lieutenant
Governor.
Labor's tribute to Senator Beidle-
man came spontaneously immedi-
ately after he had announced him.
self as a candidate. 1t was not a
long-planned, artificially-st stimulated
affair 1t had not been worked up.
1t was done on the spur of the
moment.
And still 1t was a well-considered,
extremely deliberate action. 1t was
fortified and prompted by a record
of fourteen long years.
Senator Beidleman was not pro-
claimed a friend of labor" by any
campaign manager. He was not sud-
denly hoisted on the shoulder of per-
sonal labor friends. He did not even
have to declare himself a friend of
labor.
He was proclaimed a friend of
labor and a staunch, consistent friend
by the legislative journals of the
state during the last fourteen years.
These official records in cold black
type, proclaim Edward E. Reidle-
man n friend of labor in louder
tones than thousand stump speak
ers could do it. The records sneak
for themselves and show that for
fourteen years, in season and out of
season, in the House and in the SEN
ate, Edward T.. Beidleman stood for
everything and anything labor
wanted.
Pennsylvania labor knows this
record of Beidleman's and therefore
required no persuasion in rallying to
his support.
On a moments notice, as soon as
Senator Beidleman announced him
self a candidate for Lieutenant Gov
ernor, labor demonstrated that II
stands by its friends and opposes
its enemies" true to the political
principles of the American Fedora
ton of Labor.
Labor did not question whether
Senator Beidleman favored one or
the other political faction. Labor
did not care what particular brand
of Republicanism Senator Beidle-
man represents. Labor did not care
whether Senator Beidleman is a
lawyer or a bricklayer, a civil or n
criminal barrister. an orator or a
plodder, a fraternitym or a home
body.
All labor cared about was that
for fourteen years Senator BeidIe-
man had consistently supported
labor in every demand it had made,
and that therefore labor was duty
bound, in accordance with its prin-
ciples and political platform, to sup
port him for anything he now wants.
Labor supports it's friends and
opposes its enemies" as candidates
for Lieutenant Governor or any
thing else.
And that goes. Senator Beidleman.

BAKER IN A HURRY

b" HE man who suggested to Sec
retary Baker that he so to
Europe rendered the country
an immeasurable service. Mr.. Baker
arrived in France about the time the
Germans opened their drive. He was
in Paris while the big gun of the
Germans was peppering away at
that city. He at last awoke from his
dream of "alls we'll and the war
going fine" to a realization that if
the conflict is to be fought out on
European soil We in America must
comes home, firm in the conviction
that the Allies will win, but con-
vinced that we are not doing what we
should be doing toward that end,
and very, very anxious to speed up
our preparations.
Would that the Secretary had gone
to Europe n year ago. Perhaps then
we should have been farther along
now toward the end of the war. But
that aside, since Mr.. Baker is now
determined to face facts instead of
entertaining fancies, is ready to ad-
NIT mistakes and remedy them, and
is going to do his level best to speed
up the whole war machine, he will
find the country behind him, ready to
do its utmost in support of that pro-
gram.
But there is only one way in which
he can succeed-and that is to cut
out politics and bcaurocratic red tape
and give the men of the country in
every line unrestricted authority to
do the big jobs. We are face to face
with the most gigantic task in his
tory. We have done much despite our
errors, very much, but we must do
more, infinitely more, if we are to
succeed, and succeed we will If IL
takes the last man and the last dol
lar. Not an American but would
rather die than live under the Prus-
sian yoke. We as a people are ready
for any necessary sacrifice, but we
want to make no needless sacrifice.
Haste is the watchword of the hour
and we have been in hurry to get
at this job effectively for months. AT
last, thank heaven, Secretary Baker
has caught up with the procession
and indicates both desire and ability
to take his place at the head of the
line

The Cross of Neupe ChapeILe.
Thomas Tiplady in dc Atlantic Monthlv.

N OR three long years our front
II line trenches have run through
what was once a village called
Neuve Chapelle. There is nothing
left of it now. But there is some
thing there which is tremendously
impressive. 1t is a crucifiX. 1t
stands out above everything, for the
land is quite fiat around it.
The cross is imme ediately behind
our firing trench, and within two or
three hundred yards of the German
front trench. The figure of Christ is
looking across the waste of No Man 5
Land. Under his right arm and un-
der his left are British soldiers hold
ing the line. Two "dud" shells lie
at the foot; one is even touching the
wood; but though hundreds of shells
must have swept by, andNmillions of
damaged. Trenches form a laby-
rinth all around it. When our men
awake and stand to- at dawn the
when at night they lie down in the
side of the trench, or turn into their
dugouts, their last sight is the Cross.
1t stands clear in the monday sun
and in the moonlight it takes on Il
solemn grandeur.
first saw it on a November after
noon, when the sun was sinking un-
der heavy banks of cloud, and it bent
my mind back to the scene as ii must

when the sun died with it's dying
Lord, and darkness crept up the hill

As to Teaching German

AS for the teaching of German in
public schools-it is interesting to
note some forceful remarks from
Hall Caine in the London Observer
He says mol" most emphaticalfy.
Community of language is almost
the closest tie between race and
race" he declares. I'VE cannot wish
to strengthen that bond with the
German people until the years have
taught us the certainty of a change
of the German heart.
Beasts that spring upon us we
can only treat as beasts There is
no reason to initiate their growlings.
"Outside the study of the student,
the council chamber of the diplo-
matist. the bureau of the civil serv-
ant and perhaps the office of the edi-
tor, let us leave the German Ian
gnage alone for the present. Neither
the British soul nor the British body
can need it for many days to some" I"

of Calvary and covered him with his
funeral pail to hide his dying agon-
les from the curious eyes of unbe-
lieving men. l had had tea in dug
out and it was dark when l left.
Machine guns were sweeping No
Mans Land to brush back enemies
who might be creeping towards us
through the long grass; and the air
was filled with a million clear, crack
ing sounds. Star shells rose and fell
and their brilliant lights lit up the
silent form on the Cross.
For three years, night and day,
Christ has been standing there in the
midst of our soldiers, with arms out
stretched in blessing. They have
looked up at him through the clear
starlight of frosty night, and they
have seen his pale face by the silver
rays of the moon as she sailed her
course through the heavens. In the
gloom of a stormy night they have
seen the dark outline and caught Il
passing glimpse of Christ's efTigy by
the flare of the star shells.
I have seen the attitude of our
soldiers toward the Cross at Neuve
Chapelle and toward that for which
it stands; and 1 find more comfort
in their reverence for Christ and
Christianity than in all their guns
and impediments of war.
The Cross of Christ towers above
the wrecks of time, and those ma
tions will survive which stand be-
meath its protecting arms in the
trenches of righteousness, liberty and
truth.

MR.. SPROUTS PLATFORM
(Wilkes-Barre Record. !

When William c. Sproul, of Ches-
ter, made preliminary announce
ment of his candidacy for Governor
his opponents in the Republican
ranks assumed that because he was
styled the Organization candidate
he would ingeniously contrive to
straddle certain subjects that were
expected to figure prominently in the
campaign, and in this belief the op-
position began sailing into Mr..
Sproul. But he has already given
"the enemy to understand that he
is going to be definite and explicit
and energetic, and in the so-called
progressive subjects is not going to
be on the defensive.
When Mr.. Sproul astonished the
Brum baugh- h-O'Neil forces by de-
claring in favor of the federal pro-
hibition amendment he was accused
of making n grandstand play with
out moral backing. In his speech
at Swarthmore he took up the chal-
lenge by stating that he is not only
in favor of ratification of the amend
ment by the Pennsylvania Legisla-
ture but he believes it to be his duty
to aid in securing ratification. He
does not stop there. Referring to
the fact that the amendment as it
reads leaves to Congress and the
states, by Concurrent legislation,
the carrying out of the will of the
people, he asserts that, 'fn full ac-
cord with the purpose of the
amendment, / shall, if I am Gov
ernor, gladly approve and fully en-
force such laws upon the subject as
the people, through their Legisla-
ture, may enact" This means that
if the amendment is made part of
the federal Constitution Mr.. Sproul
promises to exert himself to the
end that the laws looking toward
it's strict enforcement in this Com
monwealth will be rigidly upheld
and prosecuted by him.
On the question of woman suf-
frage Mr.. Sproul is equally explicit.
He says: "I am in full sympathy
with the cause of equal suffrage
and hope I may have the privilege
of assisting in putting this amend
ment also into effect in our state"
There is no straddling on this sub
ject
