S0clety'S Secret SerDice

Irving Bachelor. the famous au-
thor and lecturer, says in the April
American Magazine:
There's q kind of secret service
among men and women of which
everyone is a member. This secret
service is constantly taking and
comparing notes on the character
of all individuals within the circum-
ference of it's observation. My young
friend, do not be deceived. They
know all about you. They look as
innocent as you, but they know every
step in your going and coming, even
though you are covered by the
darkness of the night. There are n
thousand eyes and ears and the
keenest wits in this great busy de-
tective who lives in your neighbor-
hood. He fools himself who thinks
he can fool this all-seeing detective.
Therefore it pays to be sincere and
genuine-to be, in short, just what
we are in public and private, in
talk and action at home and abroad.
The beginning of bigness is absolute
sincerity and something more. l
would call it living the truth"

PROHIBITION CAMPAIGN

TT is regrettable that there is n
disposition here and there among
newspapers and partisans of one
candidate or another to split hairs
in the Interpretation of views on the
prohibition issue. When a cam
didate has honestly and with
out evasion declared in favor of
the issue without the slightest reser-
vation he is entitled to a fair hearing
among honest men.
Supporters of prohibition are not
going to advance this great cause by
questioning the sincerity of those
candidates who have declared in
favor of the amendment after full
consideration of the issues involved
in the pending campaign.
So far as the Republican party is
concerned, Senator Sproul, Highway
Commissioner O'Neil and EX-Repre-
sentative Habgood have all made
strong declarations in support of the
amendment. This being true the
gubernatorial phase of the anti
liquor campaign is practically elimi-
mated and the issue reverts to the Sc
lection of members of the Senate and
House who will be on the right side
of the measure.
Inasmuch as the leading candi-
dates for Governor have all aligned
themselves with the prohibition
forces, the Republican organizations
throughout the State should lose no
time in likewise declaring for pro-
hibition and thereby absolutely re-
move this issue from further football
tactics in the politics of Pennsylva-
mia. 1t would be utterly absurd for
a party organization to endeavor to
successfully support standard bear
er on the prohibition issue while at
the same time giving aid and COM
fort to the liquor interests by sup
porting candidates for the Senate
and House on the wet" side. That
sort of a campaign would not appeal
to fair-minded voters. Indeed, it
would be an open invitation to party
disaster
Many Republican candidates for
the Legislature already have an
nounced themselves on prohibition
platforms and those aspirants for the
Senate and House who still believe
that they can be elected on a nom
committal or wet" platform are as
suming that the tremendous senti-
ment in favor of prohibition is more
imaginary than real. OF course, all
such candidates must assume respon-
sibility for an obsession of that sort
They would have nobody to blame
for their defeat at the general elec-
ton but themselves.

RIVER COAL

TN VIEW of the serious coal situa-
ton of last winter, encourage
ment is given to river operators
and all other coal producers, but in
providing every facility for the en-
largement of the river coal industry
our city officials should insist that
the river operators observe care ir
the handling of the coal to the end
that the paved streets are not litter.
ed in every direction. Trucks that
are not merely sieves should be re-
quired for use. River coal is too valu.
able to be wasted and the streets are
no place for it, at all events.

A GAME YOU CAN PLAY

I"HREE billion dollars worth ol
four and one-quarter per cent
Liberty Bonds will be offered
for sale to the people of America
shortly.
This appeal is made to YOU.
You may have wondered how you
can help in this war. You may have
hoped you could have part in de-
throning the Kaiser.
Well, here's how.
One $50 bond will buy trench
knives for a rifle company, or TWEEN
ty-three hand grenades, or fourteen
rifle grenades, or thirty-seven cases
of surgical instruments for enlisted
mems belts, or ten cases of surgical
instruments for officers belts.
A $1O0 bond will clothe soldier,
or feed a soldier for eight months,
or purchase five rifles, or thirty rifle
grenades, or forty-three hand gren-
AIDES, or twenty-five pounds of ether,
or 145 hot-water bags, or 1000 sur
gical needles.
A 500 and a $50 bond will clothe
and equip an infantry soldier for
service overseas, or feed soldier for
a year.
Two 500 bonds will purchase a
horse or mule for cavalry, artillery,
or other service.
Three $1OO bonds will clothe SOL
dier and feed him for one year in
France, or buy a motorcycle for
machine gun company.
Four 500 bonds will buy an N-ray
outfit.
One $500 bond will supply bicycles
for the headquarters company of an
infantry regiment.
A lonely $50 bond will buy a box
of machine gun cartridges any one
of which may lay low one of the
German officers who drive their men
into the slaughter houses before the
Allied lines.
Here's a game you can play. Dig
UP your money for bonds.

DEMOCRATS IN TROUBLE

TT is interesting to watch the
gyrations of certain Democratic
= bosses who are engaged in
ground and lofty tumbling on the
prohibition question. While attempt
ing to camouflage their own en-
barrassment through flimsy efforts
to make it appear that the Repub-
licans are playing fast and loose with
this issue, it is notable that no DEM
ocratic candidate has yet appeared
in the open and the bosses them
selves are fervently hoping that
something may yet occur to help
them get footing in this campaign.

No. Amounts expended for an architects serv-
