Eniisled
(Fro1n The Ne1U STATE

Erom The Ne,o Statesman)
EALLEN as though on some serener
l. planet,
Lapped in softer daylight we have lain,
Under a vaporous sky, though far we scan it
Ones with the sea-one vague, broad,
luminous plain;
Where like a meteor glides and falls
gannet,
Where porpoises roll shining, and seals
pass
And sink without sound The sleeps of
granite,
Dissolved in light, loom, like a clouded
glass;
All is transparency, yet all is dim,
AN mystery, all solitude, all peace.
Near shore through weedy glades fish doz-
ing swim,
And opalescent cells; all creatures seem
Like US, the earth, the sky, the somnolent
seas,
Locked in beautiful but dawnless dream.

The Administrator
Hopes for Election

Whether the Administration hoped to
make good showing in Pennsylvania this
fall or not must remain a matter of specu-
lation. One obvious way of helping the
Democrats, of course, was to make the most
of the evidences of misrule in Republican
Philadelphia. Nor is it at all unlikely, on
the whole, that Democratic candidate for
Governor who had the backing of the Ad-
ministration would have made a good
showing, or that even a Congressman or
two might have been picked up en- route.
Whether or not Mr. Guffey, of Pittsburgh,
the man picked by the Administration
leaders, could have come within hailing
distance of William C. Sproul, the Republi-
can candidate, it is difficult to say. He
never had any chance. Judge Bonniwell
simply ran away with him at the primaries
1t soon became evident that Judge Bonni-
we'll was persona non grata at Washing
ton Nor did he take any pains to heal the
breach in the party which his nomination
threatened to create. He is strong anti
prohbitonist, and thus he injected into
the campaign an issue that many of the
politicians in both parties are anxious to
avoid. Furthermore, he began to fight the
leaders OF his own party; to demand the
withdrawal from the ticket of Congressman
Logue, who had been named for Lieutenant
Governor; to exploit his personal views at
great length; finally to set up a Fair Play
party as protest against the Democratic
machine. Here were the beginnings of a.
quarrel which has become exceedingly
bitter
A Mitchell Palmer, who presumably rep
resents, though no doubt unofficially, the
Administration, quickly took up the glove
Judge Bonniwell flung down. The judges
views prohibition were made the basis
of a charge that his nomination was forced
by the liquor dealers, with the assistance
of Senator Penrose; in other words, that
the Republicans who not in favor of
prohibition wanted a candidate for whom
they could vote, and thus bring about the
defeat of Mr.. Sproul, who had come out as
a dry" though president of the Union
League Club, where there is no special
aversion to taking a drink. On Saturday
Mr.. Palmer, at the meeting of the Demo-
cratic State Committee. made violent
speech against Bonniwell. But the charge
that he is Penrose dummy has not been
proved.
Nor, it may be added, is it necessarily
sign of moral delinquency-or of subservi-
ence to the liquor interests--if a candidate
does not believe in national prohibition.
That is an issue upon which men may di-
vide with perfect sincerity, and nothing is
gained by denying it. There are MANY
weaknesses in the Bonniwell candidacy; his
failure to resign his judgeship is one Of
them; but the Mitchell charges are at least
not proved. and both the judge and the
Senator have denied them vehemently. The
quarrel is very pretty one as it stands.
1t certainly will not be of any advantage

The Song of Azarias

(From The Nation. London)
i gold and fesh
Where the lewd heart Of Babel pants in a.
cruel mesh.
Despite their furious roaring, fear them
not at all;
My soul has got key that opens an inner
hall:
Where calm-crowned, ivory-bearded, the
old kings smile in state,
And shapes Of happy beauty stand at the
palace gate;
Where stainless run the waters and tender
toll the flowers
To tend with tide of spices the warm breast
of the hours;
Where dove-eyed are the angels, their
locks are curled with youth,
And some will touch the viol and some
finger the luth;
Where on the long horizons the dim blue
mountains lie,
And sweep all rich with lilies up to the
starry sky.

every year thousands of British boys en-

small; and because these boys constitute
in after life the great majority of the

and they are, for the most part, the Eng

We think Mr. Galsworthy does we'll to
explain all this in detail. Too many
Americans and Brtons with the best in
tentions in the world seek to foster NUT

and pretending that this extreme of Eng

ing lies the way of truth. To know all
may not be to excuse all, as Mr.. Gals
worthy hopes-it will never be clear to
Americans why the British manner
should not learn to soften itself in the
interest Of international friendship. But
to know the traditions out of which the
shell of British unemotionalsm grows is
to go long way toward not minding it,
toward accepting the man within at his
real worth.
Every day that our men fight side by
side with the English soldier strengthens
this basic understanding and respect.
Such generous, heartfelt words as Mr..
Galsworthy writes can do much among
us at home to rid our minds of small
prejudices and speed the day of abiding
friendship throughout the English-speak-

Volunteers

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Your editorial of this morning
"Crippling Hog Island" hits the nail ex-
actly on the head. There seems to be
lack of coordination somewhere
1t occurs to me there are plenty of men
in the country to-day, business and pro-
fessional men, who would consider it an
honor, distinctive mark of their patriot
ism, to freely give up their business or
professional work for the duration of the
war in order to take hold and help piece
out the labor shortage, whether in the ship
yards or elsewhere. Rabbi Wise was only
one. To my mind this field has not been
touched.
Take myself, for example Some ten
days ago | wrote the War Department Of
fering my services in any capacity in which
they might see fit to use ME in America
or France. day or two ago I received
my own communication back, accompanied
by a form letter to the effect that m ght
obtain necessary application blanks from
the Civil Service Commission Washington,
D. c., "concerning the competitive examine
tions required of appontees to the civil
service" | had no intention then, and have
none at present, of entering any competi-
tive civil service lists. What wanted to
do was to get busy helping out what ap-
parently is crying need.
stated in my letter that I am forty
two years of age and single, the head OF
my own advertising business and, though
registered, exempt from the draft at least
for some time. l also might have men,
toned that in my youth worked in lumber
camps of the Northwest and shipped be-
tore the mast on the Great Lakes, and
while to-day, as an advertising writer
classed with poets, this should not be held
against me to the length of keeping me ou'
of useful work that would help on the
good fight
There ought to be some way Of utilizing
such men myself. By making up pure
ly voluntary organization. under some sucA
head as industrial volunteers" "ths
loyal legion of ndustry"-names- do not
matter-I believe a vast number of meh'
exempt for one reason or another from
actual fighting, would be glad TO sign tneH
names to the roster, take off their coats
don overalls, spit on their hands and 60
to it. Physically, it would be the making
Of them; mentally, it would freshen them
up as nothing else could; morally anu
spiritually they would be thousand times
the better for having contribut the worA
Of their own hands to the cause. More

The Forgetful Debtor

There is some eXculpation for the
friend who borrows a ten and con-
veniently neglects to return it. He may
not be Intentionally dishonest He may
really forget. And the cause of his for
getting may not have any relation to the
familiar money complex" for the SIM
pie reason that this Complex" is we'll
nigh universal. Here are two or three
examples:
launching with one of his best
friends, a man borrows ten They do
not meet for some little time When
they do, the borrower interrupts a con-
versation with, ooh, here's that five l
owe you" The friend looks blank, ex-
plantations follow, and they both laugh.
The man had spent his ten on a quite
improbable dinner. 1t was the dinner,
not the debt, he wished to forget.
Reversing the case, the lender in the
above borrows five at breakfast from
the same friend. 1t is to send lunch
to sick lady, and the incident gives
rise to considerable evaporation and
finally quarrel with the lady. The
borrowed five is completely forgotten,
and even when it is recalled some time
later, just to prove the case, the bor-
rover cannot remember.
The lender spoken of last takes COM
mission from a doctor friend to get a
bottle of medicine. He returns with the
medicine, but forgets the change out of
dollar bill. Some time later he is re-
minded of his forgetfulness. He has
difficulty in remembering, but fnallv
says, "Wen, suppose it was the small
ness of the amount. l owe you 35
cents" In point of fact, the article had
cost 35 cents and the change was 65
cents. The principle works even in the
smallest matters
Here is still more notable instance.
len years ago two men were working
together on new enterprise. One, in
difficulties, borrows several hundred dol
lars from the other. In all the inter-
venlng years no suggestion of repav-
ment. Finally the borrower gets on his
feet and says to his friend. GLOW much
was it borrowed from you? cannot
recall, but l remember l gave you an
l. O. u"
The latter cannot be found. But more
remarkable still, the lender had COM
pletely forgotten the debt, and even
when reminded of it could not at all
remember the amount. The point was
that the enterprise had been a sad fail
ure, and the lender had the wish COM
pletely to bury any recollection or
thought about it.
AS rule, all borrowing relates to an
uncomfortable shortage. There is usua1]v
much Illumination in the borrowing. It
IS principle of the new psychology that
we wish to forget everything which is
unpleasant and especially that which in
any way affects our enormous vanity and
self-esteem. There are notable INSTANCES
OF flne types of men who are chronic and
hopeless dead beats. We have one in
mind. During thirty years he has bilked
every friend he ever had, to say nothing
OF landlords, boarding house keepers. and
the like Yet he is really a man of fine
ideals, and IN every other way quite the
soul of honor. 1t has been the work of
recent investigation into the human mind
to show that, like the kleptomanias. these
cases of chronic pilfering from friends
often represent kind of transfer from
the love affairs or love interests of youth
Some of them have been cured.

to the Democratic party in this state, or to
the Administration, if Mr Palmer speaks
for it. Considering all the political ele-
ments involved, considering the fact that
Pennsylvania is so solidly Republican that
only an enthusiastically united Democratic
party can hope, once Republican factional
differences are composed, to muster any
formidable opposition, it would have been
oetter for the Administration to let poll
tics remain adjourned, so far as the Bon
nlwell candidacy was concerned, however
distasteful it might be to Messrs Palmer,
Mccormick and the rest.

H ERE by the bright blue creek the good
i Il ships lie
A-buiding, and the hammers beat and
beat,
And the woodsmell is pleasant in the
heat
The strong ribs curve against the marsh

Here the old men are moving in the sun,
And the hay-sweetness blends with the
wild rose;
At the fields edge the scarlet lily glows:
The great clouds sail, and the swift
shadows run,
And the broad, undulant meadows gloom
and smile.
Over the russet red-top warm winds pass,
The swallow swoops and swerves the

In the cool Of shallow brooks-and all the

Peace basks asleep, she dreams of some

The Pennsy syLuania Middle

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 28-To under
stand politics in Pennsylvania-and
more particularly politics in Phila-
delphia-it is essential to grasp one funda-
mental fact. Both state and city are in
normal times overwhelmingly Republican.
But the Republican party is divided into
two factions, one controlled by Senator
Penrose, the other by the Wares, the con-
tractor bosses. In the frequent quarrels
between these the Democratic organization
is valuable pawn. 1t can swing votes to
one or the other, and it has no nice scruples
against doing so. The reward is share
in the spois. Thus the suspicion that
Democratic candidate may be really acting
in the interest of Republican faction is
too often justified. That is the charge
brought against Judge Bonniwell, the
Democratic candidate for Governor. 1t has
been pressed with great vehemence by A.
Mitchell Palmer, who, with Vance McCor-
mick, represents the Administration among
the Pennsylvania Democrats; and the DEM
ocratc State Committee has in consequence
repudated Bonniwell, though he obtained
the nomination at the primaries by an un-
expectedly large majority.
Disregardng for the moment the ex-
picit charge against the judge, that he was
put forward by Penrose as the candidate
of the liquor interests, it should be noted
that this action reveals an unwillingness
on the part of many Democrats to be
bought and sold. And it is fact that the
Democratic party a whole is not in
ferior, morally, to the Republican party.
It has done honest service to the state in
the past by combining with the independent
voters to defeat Republicans of dubious
merit. Nor, for that matter, is the Repub
lican party completely dominated on every
occasion by the machine.

THEY have taken his horse and plume.
Il They have left him to pod, and fume
For hero's scope and room!
They have curbed his fighting pride,
They have bade him burrow and hide
With million, side by side:
Look-into the air he springs,
Fighting with wings!
He has found a way to be free

That would swallow up such as he:
VINO would burrow when he could fly?
He will climb up into the sky
And the world shall watch him die
Only his peers may dare
Follow him there!

Republican Bosses
Feel Secure

But there is no strong, coherent body Of
independents within the party to check the
selfish ambitions or the INSCRIPTIONS in
trigues of factional leaders. Pennsylvania
is so intensely devoted to Republican prin-
cipes-and especially to the principle of
rotection-that even men who are most
opposed to bossism and its results do not
willingly join with Depocrats, who are
not devoted to the principle of protection,
to defeat Republican candidates, whatever
may be their character. 1t is thys feeling
of security that makes the bosses believe
they can put over anything they please and
get away with it, Only in rare cases have
they been disappointed For they patch up
their quarres when they have to; and al
ways there is the Democratic rump to do
business with. Thus the political history of
the state in recent years has been pretty
sordid chronicle.
These conditions are revealed most start
lingly in Philadelphia. 1t is probably the
worst governed city in the country Its
rulers are Republicans simply because that
is the ruling political faith They are left
undisturbed by the respectable manu-
facturers and bankers simply because they
deliver Republican votes, with Demo
cratic thrown in for good measure if
needed. There is a rupture just now be-
tween the Penrose faction and the Ware
faction, but the gulf is not too deep to be
bridged when the needs of both require it
To either side Philadelphia is a good thing,
to be worked for all it is worth. 1t has the

Revolution First

In his speech on Friday night Presi-
dent Wilson slammed the door of hope
in the faces of the existing governments
of Germany and Austria Hungary.
These governments, if the United States
has it's way, will not be allowed to par
ticipate in a peace conference. They
have outlawed themselves. Whatever
may be the future of the peoples Of Ger
many and Austria Hungary, there can
be no future for the Hohenzollern and
Hapsburg dynasties.
1t is Mr.. Wilson's view that these dy-
nasties and their agents are not morally
qualified to appear in any self-respect-
ing council of nations. The President
stated the general American view when
he said:
We are all agreed that there can be
no peace obtained by any kind of bar
gain or compromise with the govern
ments of the Central Empires, because
we have dealt with them already and
have seen them deal with other gov
ernments that were parties to this
struggle, at Brest- -Litovsk and Buchar-
est. They have convinced us that they
are without honor and do not intend
justice. They observe no covenants,
accept no principle but force and their
own interest. We cannot "come to
it impossible. The German people
must by this time be fully aware that
we cannot accept the word of those
who forced this war upon US. We do
not think the same thoughts or speak
the same language of agreement.
1t is time for the people of Germany
and Austria Hungary to realize that if
they want to have peace, and if they
aspire to figure in a League of Nations
after the war, they Nust first scrap their
morally bankrupt governments. Domes-
tic revolution must precede armistices.
The Won Hertlings, Won Bilows, Won
KUhlmanns, Burians, Czernins and Tis-
zas have been blacklisted as peace pleni-
potentiaries. The only credentials which
they could present Would come from
governments which the world rightly
holds to be without honor and incapable
of respecting covenants.
Here is a situation in which the ele-
ments in Germany and Austria-H HI uh-
gary which want peace must face with
out self-decepton. They must repudi-
ate the authors of the war, the violators
of Belgium, the spoliators of Russia and
Rumania, before they can come with
clean hands into any peace council cham
Der.
Greed, arrogance and ferocity avenge
themselves. When the Kaiser gave
the order to invade Belgium he
wrote his own sentence of deposition.
When he sent Won Kuhlmann to Brestc
Litovsk and Bucharest he signed the
death warrant of the Hohenzollern. dy-
nasty. For at Brest-Litovsk and at
Bucharest the German government had
its last chance to prove to a doubling
world that it still possesses some rudi
ments Of sense of good faith, gener-
osity and justice. 1t threw the chance
away and thereby consigned itself for
ever to outer darkness.
The people of Germany and Austria
Hungary will have to pay price for
'speace. And the first indispensable in
stalment on it is the extinction of the
Hohenzollerns and Hapsburgs, with all
that other locust brood of kinglets and
princeets which has fattened on Ger
man servility and has maintained itself
in power by debauching German morals

ST. PAUL, April 1S.-Preliminary details for staging the championship boxing match between Champion Jess Willard and the Minnesota slugger, Fred Fulton, in the twin cities, were successfully disposed of at conferences today in Minneapolis and St. Paul. Ii was announced after these conferences that Willard and Fulton probably would meet in ten round decision contest, on the Fourth of July.
 Colonel J. C. Miller, promoter Of tn, proposed match, conferred with twin city boxing promoters and announced that he had obtained their co-opera- tlon. Formal closing of an agree ment, Colonel Miller said, is contin gent upon subscription of $10,0OQ Miller intimated he would waive the Subscription inducemept" if he could obtain the St. Paul baseball park without expense. This, he said, was doubtful because several American Association games would have to be played elsewhere,
 Colonel Miller was told that the $10,000 was virtually subscribed and
