HooVER'S LATEST FEAT

As AN expert in reconstruction and
u relief work it is consistent for Her.
bert c. Hoover not to overlook the factor
of self-respect in relation to both donor
and recipient.
$1O0,0O0,000 fund to feed the PROSTATE
peoples of Europe, it was the popular
impression that it signifed the dispensa-
ton of charity upon a monumental scale.
But the experienced Mr.. Hoover evidently
did not regard it in that light. He is
enough of a sociologist to draw emphatic
distinctions between assistance and pau
perization.
The erection of the most efficient ma
chinery for the distribution of food was
hie first task. The sequel must serve
both as a stimulus to European pride and
the most heartening kind of tribute to
. ..-,. AN generosity.
In letter addressed to San Fran
cisco newspaper, Mr.. Hoover states that
he is to return to the United States treas
ul'y between SS5, 10000 and S9OOOOO 900
in foreign obligations in partial liquida-
ton of the original sum advanced. T

agreeable surprise" 1t is much more
than that. In the transaction Europe
plays the role not of beggar, but of an
honorable and self-respecting debtor
whose solvency is dependent merely upon
the coordination of resources and the
passage of time.
Despite some grumbling in Congress,
there was no disposition in America to
be niggardly when the sufferings of
Europe after the armistice demanded at
tenton. 1t is not now so much because
of the financial fact of reimbursement
that Mr.. Hoover's performance is so
laudable as it is because of his keen COM
prehension of the human equation. He
realized how to help the stricken and
the unfortunate without patronizing or
| debasing them.
The fate of Aristides, whom the public
wearied of clubbing the just, constitutes
the sole check upon applauding again to
the echo one Of the very foremost Ameri-
cans.

Member of the Associated Press
Mr.. WILSON'S ILLNESS

THE President, weary and i'll because
= he refused to spare himself in the
service of great causes, has returned to
Washington to be confronted with do
mestic problems of a peculiarly trying
sort. To any one of less courage the out
look from the White House would seem
peculiarly discouraging under the cir
cumstances. The people have learned to
look for fortitude and energy in Mr..
Wilson. They will hope for his quick re-
covery and they will feel sympathy and
sense Of admiration because of a mag
nificent example of devotion to princi-
pie deemed right, whether they believe in
the league of nations or fear it.

NECESSITY BREAKS STRIKES

THE operation of a daily air mail serv-
= ice between London and Paris is, of
course, only feeble offset to the force
Of the British railway strike, and yet the
implications Of the event are interesting.
The status of essential public utilities
is constantly changing. Vital as they
are, the railroads in this country are now
impressively supplemented by freight
autotrucks. 1t is conceivable that within
decade paralysis of land transit will
not mean the fracture of all communica-
tion channels. Given the present rate
of development, and reckoning will have
to be made with the airplane.
Red foes of the social order cannot
afford to overlook the almost ironical
fashion in which invention keeps just a
trif1e ahead Of dead!ocks along lines
which assume to be absolutely compre-
hensive. By the time tie-up campaign
is perfected at least partial solution of
difficulties by novel means is often avail
able.
1t is the very nature of the mother of
invention to be fertile in darkest hours.
Projectors of UNIVERSAL strikes are in
clined to blink this truth. New ,defini-
tions of Essentials" are continually in
order.

vessels. 1t has been strongly limited that
the British expected to secure at least the
Imperator.
Whether any of these boats or some
of them fly our flag or Britain's involves
an inquiry into legal points which the
Peace Council will no doubt take up. The
official American opinion is evidenced in
the disposal of the ships made last week.
AS the nucleus for an American line they
would serve admirably.
Naturally, all of us who desire to see
the gem of the ocean polished up again
will hope for a settlement Of the ques-
tion consonant with the War Depart
ment's decision.

WHERE THE oFFENsE LIES

ssyETE ARE glad" writes the secretary
w of the American mine workers to
The secretary of the Miners Federation
Of England, "that you are proceeding
successfully with your scheme for in
creased wages, a reduced working day
and naturalization of the mines"
We are glad the hands across the sea
are clasped in amity, but sorry the heads
that rule them are unable to differentiate
between bee and bulls foot.
Whatever may be counted against him
as an error of Judgment, man commits
no crime against the state by demanding
more money for his wares or for his
labor, and getting it when he can; even
in the matter of naturalization differ
ence of opinion is provocative of healthful
cerebratiop; but man commits crime
not only against the state, but against
humanity, when, at such time as this,
he limits production either by strikes or

LAcGARDS' LAST CHANCES

TT WOULD be difficult to frame an act
4 more considerate of laggards than the
present registration law. Until October
% hearings will be given daily to citizens
with reasonable excuse for their deln-
quency. There is thus still a chance for
them to vote at the November election.
The complexion of municipal politics,
however, renders that participation less
significant than the casting of ballots at
the recent primaries would have been.
But Philadelphians who wish to en-
phasize any reawakening of civic spirit
ought not to rely on the legal coddling
of their laxity. The registration rush
this fall was extremely heartening, but
not until the Stacker ranks are still fur
ther diminished will the stigma of pub
lie Indifference in political affairs be
effaced.
The slogan for next year, when a
President of the United States is to be
elected, should be, "Beat the 1919 regis
tration."

has been faced within the relatively
small confines of the P. r. T. system.
No executive who is not dealing with a
servile class can ignore dispute which
affects the general public and assume an
attitude of regal aloofness. It doesn't
pay. II isn't modern, 1t isn't efficient.
Yet that is what the Public Service Cor
poration has been doing in New Jersey.
It is what the "magnates" used to do in
the old days when they forced workers
into. the powerful organizations which,
devised as means of self-protection, are
now being used as weapon Of cffense.
The public likes justice. That is why
it boycotted the trolley lines in Camden
while it whooped up the revenues Of the
P. r. T. Mr. Mitten has made his sig
nificant demonstrations of policy as an
operative manager. He owns none of the
P. R. T. stock. He is without primary
responsibility for the financial involu-
tions that still serve to retard the street
railway system in this city. AS a skilled
technician, with dash of the philosopher
in him, he perceived that the solution Of
all wage questions at this time depends
on larger production.
Production may be steel or crops or
coal or trolley service. So long as in
dustry is manned by two be,ligerent
groups it cannot produce what is needed
to settle the grievances we hear so much
about.
1t is the Fosters of the world who are
now blocking the way to acceptable
agreements, just as the industrial barons
used to do in the past. And public sem
timent will Judge the Fosters as merci-
essly as it judged the dictators who pre-
ceded them.

GET TOGETHER AND
 KEEP TOGETHER |S
 DEMOCRAT SLOGAN

How to get together and keep to- gether was the subject before the house yesterday at the meeting of the democratic party council, still running harmoniously under the impetus given it the day before by the national con- mittee chairman, Homer s. Cummings. Organization was the watchword and the slogan. The various speeches con- tained hints of lack of democratic cohesion in the past and the desire was expressed that the fragments might be brought together and glued into an in separable mass.
 In the absence of State Chairman n George Rabbit, the meeting was called to order by Secretary brennan, and Mulford Winsor was made presi1- ing officer One of the speakers was George Purdy Bullard, who offered q suggestion for the suppression of bit terness which is engendered in prl- mary campaigns He proposed that meetings of the party council should be held before the primaries instead fafter them, after all the damage has been done
 The idea was that the party council should consider what may be called a | Dl G1BieHlidl IlChtl dIlu lO SOIllt tAlSul get behind it. That would not debai the citizen from the Godg given and constitution provided privilege of rul.- plng for a nomination, but it would 1 give a big edge to men who would be more likely to enlist the party's strength. Such action by the party council would be the next best thing to the convention, where matters O. that kind are supposed to be disposed of after due deliberation. As it is many men who run for office are. guid- ed only by instinct
 Speeches were made by Judge West over of Yuma, Judge Barnum ant others, all looking to some way to re- deem Arizona from republican contro in the governors chair.
 At the meeting of the council las spring, the subject of organization Wa considered and the secretary sent ou letters to about 100 leading democrats It was stated yesterday that replie had been received from only two. l was decided that the better plan, not withstanding the reduced postage rat which will go into effect on July l, vii be to send messengers throughout tn state to interview democrats of loca prominence in person. That proceed ure. it is said, was recommended D. Mr Cummings the day before.
 The absence of former Governo Hunt from the meeting was remarked by some of the members, and it wa recalled that the former governor hat kept himself in the background on tn occasion of the visit of the nationa chairman.

Mrs. Wright alleges she was taken from the train and imprisoned at Benson in the belief that she was Nina Wagner, the girl who came here from Oklahoma with w. D. Thornton, whose report of having missed $1,700 in Liberty bonds and Sl,000 in cash, led the authorities to telegraph along the line in hope of arresting Nina Wagner before she reached the coast.
 Mrs. Wright claims that the arrest was made on the train and that the deputy sheriff accompanied her to the ladies' dressing room and compelleS her to take off her nightgown and dress, with view of leaving the train at Benson.
