SPRING MUSIC

The orchestra is tuning! Within the
tree-tops, far above
I clearly hear the robins triil OF
love
Like violir, so trembling and SO
sweet;
Their. following this the low tweet-
tweet
OF tiny wren, so like a piccolo;
The brisk wood-pecker's hammer
steady,-slow.-
So like the rum trum of the drum
And in and out and round about
among
The branches. like the swayine
sound
Which comes from all the instru-
ments, around
The wiE.d keeps humming, tuning
signing SO;
And all the little things beneath that
grow
Like children in the audience just
gasp and wait
And then, a burst of music, wond-
rous! great!
Then first We sigh, and hold our
And then From out the winters
death
Glad Spring has GOMEZ" The chorus
sings to orchestra and drum;
"Glad Spring! Glad Spring! Glad
Spring has come!"

A GOOD ACT

X ENERALLY speaking, the third
VI class city bill signed by Gov
ernor Sproul this week is a
good law. 1t provides for numerous
changes that should have been in
cluded in the Clark act as originally
drawn and would have been had
that bill been put together in work
manlike manner. The many amend
ments found necessary merely IL
lustrate the weakness of the whole
Clark statute. Another session of
the Legislature will find as many
more faults to correct and finally the
whole act will be junked and re-
placed by legislation framed in ac-
cordance with the needs of the peo-
pie and not to meet the ideas of a
few theorists and the interests of
men who seek opportunity to con-
tinue themselves in public office.
The extension of the terms of
councilmen from two to four years
is a step in the right direction. A
two years term is entirely too short,
as the experimentalists who designed
the Clark law should have known.
But it having been put into the law
originally, considerable confusion
will be caused the coming fall as to
which candidates shall run for the
long terms and which for the short.

What Japan Really Gets
By the Treaty of Peace

Peninsula, for the sake Of the peace
of the East August 23 war was
declared, and August 25 the block
aiding squadron took up position off
Tsingtau. Troops were landed at
Lungkow west of Chefoo, went in
land, cut the railway at the point
nearest that coast, and took possess
sion of the line and it's stations up
to Tsinan-fu and then landed and
established a base at Lauschan Bay,
fifteen miles east from Tsingtau just
at the line of the leased territory and
slowly closed in upon the fortress
and its garrison of some four thou
sand men.
The whole campaign was so
methodically carried out that mill
tary men in Japan termed it autumn
maneuvers, The Germans were twice
formally asked to surrender and save
useless loss of life, but refused. No.
tice was sent that bombardment
would begin on a certain day, and
they were invited to send out all
noncombatants, women and children.
A boatload of such, including the
American consul and several priests,
was transferred at the harbor's
mouth to a Japanese destroyer, and
the great guns began their play. At
dawn November 8, just es the troops
were about to leave their trenches at
the edge of town and sweep the
place in hand to hand assault, the
white flag went up on tho governors
fiag staff.
Much damage had been done by
artillery fire, but more was done by
dynamite by the Germans them
selves before the surrender, records
were destroyed stores burned, the
dry dock ard the Austrian cruiser
sunk, and the public utilities
wrecked.
Twenty thousand Japanese
! troops were engaged in the Tsingtau
expedition and Japan has since spent
great sums in restoring repairing
and putting the place in order. She
| has said in 1914 and to the peace
conference in Paris in 1919, that she
will return the leased territory to
! China, with the guarantee that
| Tsingtau shall become arr interna-
tional settlement. Japan will retain
the German railway and mines. In
the articles signed with Japan, China
agreed never hereafter to cede, lease
or assign any bit of territory to any
foreign power-neither bay, island,
port, harbor or market town."

BrigdndS on Road to Jericho

lFrom the Manchester Guardian. l
Many of the demobilized men who
were in Palestine with General AL
lenby's troops were not sorry to bid
good-by to the precipitous, zig-zag-
ging road running down from Jeru-
salem to Jericho. In summer it was
intolerably dusty, and after rain its
greasy surface was dangerous for
motorists. At one part of the route
the site of the Inn of the Good
samaritan is still pointed out.
Even in modern times the road is
so infested with robbers as TO be
unsafe for travellers. In the days be-
fore the war tourists were recon-
mended to apply to the sheikh. or
headman, of the village of Bethany,
on the other side of the Mount OF
OliVes, for n mounted and armed
escort. His charge. however, was
high, and on one occasion a party
not well off declined to pay it. They
declared they would go without es-
cort and chance IL. Whereupon this
wiry Oriental dispatched a messen-
ger to the chief of the brigands tell
ing him to be on the lookout for a
party of travellers. OF course, he and
the robber chief shared the booty!

Too Much of a Good Thing

[From the Nations Business
Coin of the realm is handy thing
and we all like to see it circulate,
whether or not circulation is good
for us in the opinion of the economic
wiseacres. Ever. so, there may be
too much of a good thing.
In 1860 bur fathers transacted
business with currency which, on
the average, amounted to s13.S5 for
each person in the country. The
Civil War caused a man to need
more money to buy the same goods
as before, and in 1866 the circula-
ton per capita was s20.58. Their
it began to decrease and in 1878
got down to $15.32. 1t could not get
lower, however, and began to ascend
until, in 1918, it was $34.56.
With the beginning of the Eu-
ropean war there was such a pause
of shock in human affairs that the
amount of money in circulation at
first tended to fall, but by 1915 the
effects of war were in operation and
the figure went to s35.44, bounded
to S39.29 in 1916, ard by April L,
1917, when we were about to cast
our lot for war, it had reached
$45.34.
At the time of the issue of each of
our Liberty Loans circulation in
creased abruptly. and by December
1, 1918, had reached its high point
of $56.23. Declining gradually. 1t
reached $53.5S on February /. 1919,
and then began again to climb, be-
ing at S54.56 on April l.

THE FARMER OBJECTS

LNPPONENTS of the daylight saw
ing regulation in Congress are
again busy in an attempt to
have the measure repealed. Oppo-
sition to the increased daylight plan
comes from the farming element and
seems to be largely a selfish propo-
sition. If you are interested in main
tairing the present daylight arrange
ment, you should get into touch with
your member of Congress and United
States senators with a view to having
the movem emit to repeal the daylight
saving law defeated.
Thousands of industrial workers
all over the country and thousands
more who are compelled by their
occupations to be indoors most of
the day have hailed the daylight
saving plan with rejoicing. These
are in large majority and the rural
communities. even If they have a
reasonable objection, should be will
ing to surrender something for the
benefit of those who are not in the
open as much as the farmer

MORE THAN IT'S QUOTA

"O DISPEL any misapprehen-
sion in the minds of those who
criticise Harrisburg for failure
to meet its quota in the recent SAL
walton Army drive for peace time
funds, the executive committee
which directed the attack on the
local pocketbook, has called atten-
ton to the fact that this city ex-
ceeded it's quota by over fifteen per
cent. based on the apportionment in
effect for the five liberty loans and
numerous war-work campaigns.
The committee at the outset deter
mined not to set any figure, realizing
that the appeal was a popular one
and relying on the generosity of the
citizens of Harrisburg to contribute
their bit without the recessity of
gouging. Harrisburg responded mag
nificently. rich and poor alike, with
a net result of over fifteen thousand
dollars.
The unceasing labors of the COM
mittee of soldiers and civilians, cou-
pied with sustained doughnut sale
by the more attractive sex that net
ted big returns, firds its reward in
the satisfaction of having raised
more money than was expected. The
Salvation Army has come into its
own. That the money will be we'll
spent is assured by the character of
the group of representative men who
will compose the board of direction.

a nation of half a billion souls =
more people than inhabit the entire
continent of Europe.
Throughout the article there is
a fine Appreciation of the important
relation of Pennsylvania to the
country and the world; its enormous
production of coal and pigiron and
the endless resources which have
supplied the world with so much that
has been needed for the comfort
and happiness of mankind. A fine
tribute is paid to the great manu-
featuring interests of the State and
to its colossal Industrial enterprises.
Mr.. Lagorce concludes that Penn
Isylvania is veritable treasure house,
its manufacturing industries, coupled
with seemingly unending natural re-
sources, having created great wealth.
On a pre-war basis of values, the
property in the Commonwealth is
estimated at $4,000. 100000 - $4,-
O0O. 100000 greater than the aggre-
gate wealth of all New England and
only $4,000, 100000 less than the ac-
tual wealth of all Italy.
1t is not possible in a short space
to indicate the many interesting fea-
lures of this survey of Pennsylvania
and every lover of his State should
make it point to obtain a copy of
the May number of this useful maga-
zine ard study for himself or herself
the factors which have developed an
imperial Commonwealth. The ar
ticle is handsomely illustrated and
is the first of series on the states.
Mr.. Lagorce concludes his ad-
mirable study with this paragraph
"Of course, Penrsylvanians are
proud of their States role in the Ma
tion's activities. And the coming of
peace will find them at the forefront
of those who shall provide the world
with the munitions of peace - en-
gines and cars, coal and steel, a
thousand commodities. in the max
ing of which Pennsylvania serves
doubly - herself and the whole
world"

POOR SPORTSMANSIHP

A PPARENTLY Harry Hawker is
~ not the good sport the world
thought he was. The true
sportsman does not belittle the sue
cess of an adversary, especially when
that adversary has complied with all
the rules of the game and has won
out under difficult circumstances and
against great odds. 1t is hard to
believe that the same Hawker who
so modestly minimized his own he
roic part in an effort to conquer
the Atlantic should go out of his
way to deprecate the achievement
of Commander Reed and the crew of
the NC-4. Probably he was speak
ing from the bitterness of defeat,
but even so the world would have
held him in higher esteem had he
paid the compliment to his oppon-
ents that the flight from America to
Europe so richly deserved. That his
hearers felt Hawker had made a mis-
take and rebuked him by their sill
ence is fine tribute to the sense of
fair play and which is a natural at
tribute of the sport-loving English
man.
Hawker complains that destroyers
guarded every mile of the Ameri-
cans flight, but we imagine there
were times during his own experience
when he would have been happy to
know that the British Navy had
been as thoughtful of him. The
NC-4 did traverse a path marked
off by sentinel boats, it is true, but
that was because the United States
Government did not wish the flyers
to take more risks than were neces-
sary. 1t was perfectly justihable
precaution against the possible ac-
cidents of the greatest experimental
flight ever before undertaken.
The Americans did not have much
faith in their engines. says Hawker
! which is beside the issue, because the

Youno Man Who Went West

Aylmer Lancing, Stephen McKen-
mas Midas in his new novel, Midas
and Son" (Doran) is supposed to
have made his money by buying up
most of a town in Illinois, which had
been burned to the ground and then
developing it as a grain market with
the backing of Western Develop
ment Syndicate. Stephen McKenna
reports further: "a year later, when
his city was rebuilt, Lancing was a
rich man by any standard; but his
riches were only beginning to accu-
mulate.
"'They say of you,' he was told by
a Boston girl whom he was to marry
the following year, That folks can't
get in or out of Am erica or travel
around or take an apartment or buy
a little bit OF lighting or heat with
out A. LIS leave" Mr.. McKenna's
hero modestly admitted that was
nearly so.
"'But what d'you make out to do
with it all?" the girl pursued.
"Lancing considered her deliber-
ately.

piece to show them I'd measured

Then Mr.. McKenna's hero thought
he would have to get back to New
York to make more.
"The girl returned to her first
question.
"'But what are you going to dc
with it?'
"T never rightly thought that up,

engines did what was expected of
them and the machine did that which
Hawker's failed to do at a critical
moment.
BY all the rules of sport Hawker
ought to have taken off his hat to
the Americans, as all America has
done for him. There was glory
enough in his own exploit without
trying to belittle the achievements
of men who CHANGED to be more
successful.

A REPUBLICAN PROGRAM

tFrom Burlington, VT, Free Press
There is need of a far-reaching
program of reconstruction of the
tarif system to readiust this coun-
try to postwar conditions. 1t will
not do for the Republican majority
in the United States to stand up and
say simply we are opposed to the
surrender of all economic barriers
to foreign goods seeking to enter
our markets. They must have some
thing to propose as a substitute and
it must be well thought out, too, il
it is to stand the test of public dis
cussion and Democratic riddling.
The military problems facing the
country demand far more than a
mere bill to regulate courts-martial.
We are facing the necessity of some
sort of military training for young
Americans We haye had two years
of war in which to think out a pro-
gram. What is the Republican pro-
gram to be? Thought on that sub
ject will be far more profitable than
mere factionalism.
1t will not do to return the rail-
roads to private owners, with all the
old handicaps and evils of private
management. What is the Republi-
can program for the avoiding of
those ills?
We have tremendous labor prob
lens in connection with immigration
questions What is to be the solu-
ton of those problems? What of
conservation of natural resources
What of the humanities and political
Justice? What of shipping and our
foreign trade? What are we to do
to restrain monopolies and yet let
big business do business? Republi-
cans must face all these and other
problems. They should stop quarrel
ing and get to work at once, as
Chairman Hays urges.

OUR GREAT STATE

"HE May number of the National
Geographic Magazine contains
an article from the pen of John
Oliver Lagorce, the associate editor,
on Pennsylvania and it's great re-
sources under the caption The In
dustrial Titan of America" Mr..
Lagorce is himself a Pennsylvania
and in a letter to the Telegraph says:
1 have counted it a rare privi-
lege to portray something of
our Commonwealths economic,
civic and historic greatness in
the 100000 homes throughout
America into which the Geogra-
phic goes, and in so doing 1 feel
that 1 am only seconding the ef-
forts of every newspaper editor
within the States confines to gain
for the land of Penn the honor
it deserves.
In this Illuminating ard COM
prehensive article the distinguished
writer describes the vast natural re-
sources and immense industries of
Pennsylvania and dwells upon the
uncomfortable spirit of progress that
tends TO create local happiness and
national well being" He declares
that the Keystone State challenges
admiration and stirs the imagination.
"One might add the populations of
four far western states to that of all
New England" says Mr.. Lagorce,
.'and still have fewer people than
dwell in the land of William Penn"
Discussing the foreign born popu-
lation of this State and the impress
sion that it is peopled with aliens,
he declares that analysis proves that
even with the influx of alien labor,
Pennsylvania outrarks every other
State in the URion a. the number of
sons and daughters of native parent
age. Even New York has a million
fewer people whose parents were
born under the aegis of the Ameri-
can flag.
In this interesting survey of the
development of Pennsylvania, the
writer says. the census returns re-
veal the fact that it has more home
owners than any other State, and
that we are a thrifty people. He
adds that nearly 100000 families
live under their own roof trees, and
that most of the homes are mort
gage free.
Referring to the speculation as
to the elbow room of the American
people when the United States shall
have reached its maturity, the writer
Gays, Pennsylvanians know that
vthere is room in the State for mil
lions more and see no reason why
the country at large cannot support
a population as dense as that of the
Keystone State to-day. Such dens-
tty of population would make ours

When the Saloon Goes

lSHdIieS SLSlZl0 III WOTlQ OUTLOOK
for May.l
When one discusses the question of
what is going to happen when the
saloons are closed it is important to
have in mind the causes which i'm
pei men to go to the saloon, outside
OF what the saloon has itself to offer.
For let it be remembered there are
other social evils besides the saloon,
in which men may find refuge when
the saloons are closed. unless the
pressure of life are taken off.
Will the strain of the days work
be relieved when the saloons are put
out of business? 1t will for some
men, undoubtedly. Will working
men have better homes to go to?
Many will, unquestionably. But for
the great mass of men. the ordinary
men of whom there are so many
these blessings may be a long time
coming. unless society or the state
as q whole sees to it that better So
cial and economic conditions pre-
vail. The strong. independent work
ing man will fight his own battles
and he will carry with him many
others of his class, but he cannot dc
