Disgracing A Great Name

"HE ultra radicals of Germany
ought to be the last people on
earth to call themselves the
"Spartacus Group" 1t was Ger
many treachery that prevented Spar
tacus from defeating Rome at the
height of her power and of be-
coming one of the great liberators
of history.
Spartacus, a Thracian, had' been
sold into slavery in Rome after his
Grecian fields had been ravaged by
the invading Roman legions. and on
account of his great strength was
made a gladiator and forced to fight
for the honor of his Roman master.
But though a slave in body, he was
at heart a freeman, and, more than
that, a leader. 1t was he who or
ganized the great revolt of slaves,
most of them like himself gladiators,
and the finest, most daring and des-
perate soldiers in the world at that
time. How he became leader of
this army, which put to rout some
of the best leglons Rome could mus
ter is a matter of history. His fame
and his armies were growing as he
swept along. He was on the high
road to becoming the greatest fig
ure of his time and most noted
liberator Europe had ever known
when the advice of German slaves
whom he had freed, against his own
better judgment. finally led him to
march against Rome itself, and then,
after the first sign of failure, the
Germans detached themselves from
his command and left him to face a
greatly superior army with depict
ed forces, To be sure, the treach-
erous Germans got their just desserts
when the Romans caught them in
corner and annihilated them, but in
the end their disaffection led to the
defeat of Spartacus and his fellow
heroes after one of the most despe-
rate fights ever recorded.
And now comes the German rab-
BILE to disgrace the martyred Spar
tacus by filching the glory of his
name. The Germans never did have
the spirit of the great gladiator, in
whose makeup there was no such
streak of yellow as the erstwhile
Kaiserites are displaying at every
turn of affairs since the war went
against them.

Vote of Britdin's Women
[From the London Timesl

[From the London Timesl
If there IS one element more in
calculabl than another, 1t is the vote
of the newly wIy-enfranchised women.
Notwithstanding the age limit Of
thirty years, women constitute more
than a third of the total electorate
of about twenty million. Indeed, 1t
is possible that at this election more
women will vote than men, because
of the physical difficulties which will
stand in the way of the recording
of their votes by large bodies of SOL
d!ers and sailors on foreign service.
Nobody. not even the most expert
enced political organizer, has the re-
motest idea of the direction in which
the thoughts of the women voters are
turning. The absent voters, too, are
an utterly unknown quantity. Even
the eight million men who were on
the register for the last general cleo
ton have learned so much in the
war that the party axis of vast num-
bers has been shifted to a degree
which cannot be gauged with any
accuracy.

At noon of December 21, the
shortest and darkest day of the year,
we could easily detect q faint glow
of light In the south. The true
darkness of night is a result of the
complete disappearance of all traces
of twilight. which occurs when the
sun reaches n point of eighteen de-
gress below the horizon. Our lati-
tude was rs degrees 20 minutes.
therefore the sun at this time was
only about ~ degrees below the

A STEP FORWARD

THE suggestion of E. Clarke Cow
! den, engineer for the City
Planning Commission, that the
site at the corner of Fourth and
Walnut streets, directly opposite
the Y. w. c. A. building, be procur-
ed as a location for the proposed
new courthouse and city hall is
worthy the serious consideration it is
receiving at the hands of those who
have the project in charge. 1t is
to be hoped some way will be found
to release the land upon which the
present courthouse and Jail stand,
so that it may be sold and the other
site bought. There is no more valu-
able piece of property in the heart
of the city than that occupied by
the Jail and courthouse. 1t might
be sold for a figure that would more
than buy the larger city hall and
courthouse site and leave money
with which to purchase a piece of
land outside the city, where the Jail,
as Chairman E. S. Herman of the
Planning Commission suggests,
should be located.
This is the business side, but even
more important is the thought of
locating the new building on the
civic center which it is proposed to
create about the newly acquired
Capitol Park Extension. We al
ready have located on the park bor-
der the Technical High school, the
Y. w. C. A., the Majestic Theater,
and the new Penn-Harris Hotel, with
the prospects bright for other build
ings of a public or semi-public char
acter. By all means the city and
county offices ought to be located
there, too.
We are approaching a period of
great building activity. AS soon as
prices recede a little the country
will turn to its delayed building
program as surely as peace follows
war. Reconstruction, improvement
and development are in the air. A
million dollars does not look near
ly so big as 1t did before we raised
the first Liberty Loan. The people
will not hesitate to endorse any pub
lie project that has merit to recon.
mend it and which promises to be
conducted along business lines
There ought to be no difficulty In
floating such loan as would give
us the kind OF courthouse and cltS
hall we should have. Now is tbs
time TO get ready. TO make the plans
to educate the public to the need
and 10 arouse sentiment in favor
OF the desired change. These ar,
matters for the immediate present
and indications are that the public

A War Paradox

1t is one of the remarkable fea-
lures of this remarkable war that
the country which first threw down
its arms and asked for peace is the
only country that is still fighting.
