Ed Bennett, the proprietor of the

the success of the fourth liberty loan,
has had the billboard at the theater
on which he carries his daily bills

with huge and artistic fourth liber.

tary closing of the theater. That bill
board surely shouts "Buy Liberty
Bonds" at everybody who passes that
way.

OCALA OCCURRENCES
Ed. Beat Them to 1t

by shutting up the Temple last night,
at the end of the performance. Ed
really wanted to close for awhile any
how, as he wants to boost liberty
bonds. The people will miss the lit
tie theater nightly, but it seems
best for two or three to be not gath
cred together these days lest the
"fu" be in the midst of them. The
last picture, given last night, ITO
He'll with the Kaiser" was a first
rate one, and drew a big crowd, most
of which came in from the country.
Mr.. Bennett will rearrange his pro-
gram and reopen with splendid line
of pictures when the score is over.

THE LAST DAY

TOMORROW the American soldiers in
u France will know how the Liberty
Loan went at home. They will know
whether the cause for which they are
giving so much must rest upon their sacri-
fees alone and whether the people for
whose liberties they are fighting are worth
the effort.
Are we to let Europe know that the
United States Government cannot have
the fullest cooperation Of every one Of its
citizens or that 1t cannot have the fullest
help of every man, woman and child in
this greatest hour of it's history, Is the
Government to be forced to the unhappy
necessity of extending the period of the
Loan?
What have Dou done to show your love
of country and your allegiance?
Today every citizen must feel acutely
the sort of responsibility that falls to a
soldier in the field
The private citizen of smal means l. not
without the advantage of splendid exam
pies. Banks and business houses and
corporations have done wonderful things.
John Wanamaker and Rodman Wana-
maker and the employees in their two stores
have shown how Americans should behave
by subscribing the sum of s12,733,000. The
Philadelphia Saving Fund Society takes
s15,000,00O. The First National Bank of
Philadelphia has added $l0,O0O,000 to the
Governments resources by its individual
purchases of Liberty Bonds. There are
many others doing thus nobly, but not
enough.
| Buy a bond today.
Subscribe again. even though you have
| subscribed before.
If Philadelphia permits the day to pass
| without meeting its quota it will have
failed for the first time in it's history to
give its fullest support to the Government
in an emergency.

DIRT AND WARD POLITICS

COONER or later the Door and the unin-
- formed in the crowded quarters of the
city will learn that the pretensions of
friendliness by which ward politicians re.
tain their support are not only spurious but
tragically expensive in the end The letter
of the Rev. T. f. della Cioppa, printed on
this page, indicates one means by which
the superstitions Of ward politics may be
fought.
1t Is the delusion Of the average man
that politics does not touch his life. Tho
state of the streets downtown. the extent
to which contractors negligence has con-
tributed to the death rate and to general
suffering during the influenza epidemic
show how certainly political evil will
react upon the community that tolerates it.
Ward politicians contributed few
buckets of coal or q months rent now and
then to some of the families that ultimately
had to pay with the lives of their members
for the imagined favor.
The crooked ward politician is a menace.
He always has been a menace to free insti.
tutions. The time is coming when he will
no longer be tolerated.

were not always reassuring. When he left
Princeton TO become candidate for the
governorshp large part OF his own party
chose to regard him as a rank outsider.
As his campaign progressed there were
those among the leaders ou his side who
did not hesitate to use against him the
Infamous bipartisan machinery that rived
so long to maintain boss rule and corrup
tion throughout the State. But the man
from Princeton lifted his fight above party
politics He refused to act as II the essen
tial interests Of the people were divided on
party lines. And he won. The President
seems always to have been ready to admit
that neither political party holds a monop-
oily on righteousness.
1t is all the more dverting, therefore,
to read the promises being made by State
Chairman Macdonald to those anxious
Democrats in the State who are not yet
reconciled to the rule of adjourned poll
tics. MIR. Macdonald assures the candi-
dates under his wing that the President
himself and Mr.. Tumulty may visit New
Jersey to stump in their behalf for the
good of the party. The courage Of the
Jersey Democrats must be at n pretty
low ebb when such wild promises these
are necessary. The State chairman quail
fies the news carefully with the statement
that the President will appear to help the
party "if tho circumstances of the war
permit"
That provision is broadly inclusive.
Those who aren't so intent upon a hunt
for office as to lose all sense of the fitness
of things will feel safely assured that the
President will leave the Democrats in New
Jersey to fight their own battles.

READERS VIEWPOINT


To the FditOr Of me EreHinG Public LcdOcy.
Sr-NOur articles referring 20 the condi-
tion Of the streets In the Italian community
deserve the gratitude of an the residents Of
South Philadelphia.
The drtiest alley In Naples is cleaner than
many parts Of Christian street. As to gar
bage, the only hope Of having il collected
on certain small streets is to coax the ashmeu
to take It with the rubbish, Between Tenth
and Eleventh, on Salter street, a garbage
wagon would astound the neighborhood
have made repeated appeals TO supposed au-
thorties with the result that it was col
lected once. IL refuse is thrown In these
small streets-just where else would the city
prefer the people TO throw il? with much
inconvenience we burned ours all last winter.
Chief Hicks is not the least to be blamed
among those responsible. The police do not
enforce the law, and no one can ask our
working classes to do their part IL the city
authorities and street sweepers do not do
theirs
There are many problems in the Italian
district which require immediate attention .
The congested and badly drained homes
eatabes exposed 10 street dust on every
street; lack OF Fairgrounds. etc In this
great distress Of epidemic influenza the diff
ferent undertakers have been prohteerine
horribly on the stricken people. Indescrib-
able scenes have taken place. and | have
asked myself II there is any law in this CITY
Where are all the intelligent and honest
Italians? 1 am convinced that We must
take these matters up ourselyes-by organ
izing our political forces and by DESTROYING
political bosses among us. II we can have
neither clean streets nor police protection
we will be unable to have any Of our rights
respected. Why not organize at once and ir

the community?

TINTED STATES army engineers who
~ worked on the Delaware River chan
mel project have been making rapid pro-
motions since the war began. Honors have
been coming to others, but the most con-
splcuous of them all is Major General
Joseph E. Kuhn, now in France. When he
came to Philadelphia from the Norfolk dis
trict, he was Lieutenant Colonel Kuhn,
bright, keen and energetic officer, who had
won his spurs in the Philippines and as a
military observer in the Russo-Japanese
war He had also been stationed for
time at Berlin and had reported upon the
German military maneuvers, so that he
was particularly valuable to the nation
when the war broke out. After leaving
Philadelphia, where he had become well
known to the maritime interests, Colonel
Kuhn became president of the War College
at Washington and eventually acquired
the rank of brigadier. When Camp
Meade was organized he became its COM
mandant and was advanced to the RANK
things he did at Camp Meade apart from
popularzing himself with the boys, was to
get married to a lady who is quite active
in social circles in Washington and Phlia'
delphia. Another Delaware River engineer
who has advanced considerably is Herbert
Deakyne who was a major when in charse
OF the Philadelphia district. Deakyne had
Penhsylvania connections and TOOK
great interest in the Delaware channel
project He was so painstaking that some
of the Philadelphia business men were dis
posed to feel that little progress would be
made under his direction. He was regard
ed as "A plodder so cautious as to excite
suspicion that he lacked confidence in him
self But the major disproved all that oy

survey came along while he was in Phiia-
