TREATY DEFECTS GRAVE
Speaker Says Americans Will
Cast Down goth Century
Covenant.

Some essential differences between
Woodrow Wilson and Moses. especially
in readiness to take advice about peace
treaties, are noted by George, Wharton
Pepper. vice-president and chairman of
the board OF the League for the Preser-
walton Of American Independence, who
has been leader in the tight against I'M
American features Of the League of Ma
tons proposal.
Henry Ford says history is bunk "
said Mr. Pepper yesterday Henry is
wrong. History is a great teacher for
anybody who IL willing to learn. She
teaches by likenesses and also by con-
trssts. One Of the most instructive
lessons In history Is the contrast between
Moses and Woodrow Wilson, and be-
tween the giving OF the Law from Mount
Sinai and the proclamation OF the cove
nant from Paris.
Moses was teachable man. During
the beginning of his term he omitted
TO call for the assistance of men of
ability and tried TO do 1t all himself.
His father-in-law, Jethro, pointed out his
error. The thing that thou doest,' he told
Moses. is not good. Thou wilt surely
wear away. both thou and this people
that 10 with thee; for this thing is too
heavy for three: thou art, not able to
perform It myself alone The wise old
man then counselled Moses to provide
out of all the people, able men, and to
give them important positions. Moses
accepted the advice and acted upon It,
and the people had peace. The account
of this transaction, in the eighteenth
chapter OF Exodus, Is one OF the most
interesting In the Old Testament.
And the account OF the giving OF the
law In the ninth chapter OF Deuteronomy
is even more interesting.

DEMOCRATS LEVY ON
FEDERAL SALARIES
Penn. State Committee Asks
Fund for programme"
Special Despatch to tbs Sun.

PHILADELPHIA, July 19.-The Demo-
cratic State committee is trying to drive
Federal employees In Philadelphia into
paying per cent. OF their annual salaf-
les into the State treasury of the Demo-
cratic party.
This was brought TO light to-day when
1t was found that post office clerks a nd
other Federal employees In this city had
received letters signed by Warren Van
Dyke. Democratic State secretary, asking
for funds. One OF these letters was
turned over to tho Public Ledger by an
indignant post office employee. The let
ter contains the customary appeal for
funds. ito put under way a programme"
which the Federal employees need have
no heSitancy in going along on" The
nature OF the programme Is not stated
in the letter.
But there Is no doubt left In the mind
of the Federal employees as to what
they are expected TO contribute 10 The
State committee. At the lower left
hand corner OF each letter, written In
blue pencil, this amount Is designated
In each case 1t amounts to per cent
OF the recipients annual salary.
In the case of the letter now in pos
session of the Pubic Ledger the recipi-
ent receives s1,400 a year.
This thing Is an outrage" said one
employee upon receipt of his assessment
notification.
at Is plainly a way of trying to mace
us into helping out the Democratic cam
paign funds. We are supposed to be
beyond the reach of all political infu-
ences. Our jobs are supposed Ia. be ours
as long as we prefer to remain in the
service for which We are paid. Political
friendships are not supposed to enter
into the matter. 4 man Is supposed TO
be able to vote the way he wants with
out even an intimation OF coercion"
