to consecrata and sanctify our COM

of undivided and uncompromjsng 10y
atty to every principle for which the
American nation stands in the the be-
lief that that doctrine should be the
guiding principle of the everyday life
of each citizen. We believe in one flag,
the Stars and Stripes.
This is no place for the red flag and
the Bolshevik and we pledged our
selves at the convention to go back
to our respective states and do our
utmost to suppress them, We passed
unanimously in a prolonged turmoil
of cheers a resolution demanding that
the government at once deport all
first-paper aliens, who at the beginning
of the war gave up their papers to
avoid military service interned enemy
aliens and all persons convicted under
the espionage act during the war. If
these aliens think this country is not
good enough to fight for in her hour
of need we think it is too good for
them to live in and prosper in her
hours OF peace and prosperity. and in
regard to those who were interned
during the war and many of whom
the government has now released, We
contend that any enemy alien too dam
gerous to be at large and bear the bur
den of war is too dangerous to be at
large and participate in the blessings
of peacc
We ask the government to give dis
charged soldiers work on her new rec
lamation projects. We are establish
ing employment bureaus of our own in
all large cities and we condemn any
business house or system that fails to
give back its returning men her for
mer positions.
In dealing with political questions
we are non partisan In the future of

can be readily attained.
BY uniting ourselves in closer bonds
where sympathetic fellowship and a.
spirit of comradeship will always pre-
vail and where the memory of our
hours spent beneath the folds of our
countrv's flag will always remain a
living thng. we form the American le-
gion which should be the agency for|
carrying out the highest ideals in our
national life,
Let our object he our Country,
Our whole Country and
Nothing but our Country,
And, by the blessing Of God,
May that Country itself
Rorome a vast and splendid,
Monument, not of oppression
And terror but Of disdom,
OF Peace, and of Liberty upon

MO one will gain anything by disposi-
~ tion of the State Legislature to de-
lay ratification of the national suffrage
amendment.
The tide of social evolution has quick
ened nightly in recent years. Those
who do not move with it will be dragged
uncomfortably in it's wake. No one
knows exactly where the movement
leads, but it probably will lead to better
things.
Mr.. Penrose and Mr.. Knox are opposed
to equal suffrage. That is the attitude of
elder statesmen everywhere. Their in
herited conservatism may prove to be
wise or unwise. 1t is not what the world
wants now.
Governor Sproul gave the Legislature
good advice when he suggested that
Pennsylvania turn in and be one of the
first states to ratify the new amendment,
to assure the vote to women and to
wish them good luck with it.

TAFT is ON THE JOB

GONE inspiring genius sat beside Mr..
~ Taft when he commented on Senator
Borah's remark that the Democrats
were treating him in the same respectful
way they treat the dead when they move
aside to let funeral pass.
The man who is devoting himself to
the defense of the league of nations
fhuckled as he remarked that he agreed
with Senator Borah.
"One of my chief interests in the pres
ent situation" he went on, lone that
moves me even in my grave, is to pre-
vent other funerals"
Those misguided men who think that
there is political Immortality for them in
obstructing the peace treaty and in
sniping the Representations project
would do we'll to consider the subject of
funerals. They are not likely to be able
to be so jocular about it when the date
for the funerals arrives as Mr.. Taft
now is,

the central government But the OBJ
server at distance may be pardoned if
he is a little skeptical about the possi-
bility of settling the Irish question in
this way. There is undoubtedly a
strong and growing sentiment in favor
of setting up separate Parliaments for
the different nations Of the mother
country and relieving the London Parlia-
ment of all purely local duties.
While the tendency in America is
toward Capitalization of power in Con-
gress, the tendency in Great Britain is
toward decentralization. Observers on
this side of the ocean will await with pc
culiar interest for the report of the de-
centralizing commission to be appointed
by Parliament.

MR.. BURLESoN ESCAPES

WHEN the Senate began the present
w investigation into the state of the
wire systems under federal control, New
comb Carlton, one of the directors under
the Burleson regime, was revealed as
the rarest of American types-an enthu-
siastic admirer of the postmaster gen
eral.
Mr.. Burleson believes in high rates and
low wages. He is an ardent anti-union
man. 1t was not surprising to find that
he had won the affectionate regard of
corporation Official who, in the old days,
as manager of an extensive telegraph
system, had had his own troubles over
questions of trade unionism and rising
wage scales.
1t appears now that Mr.. Carlton, as
the chief representative of the Western
Union interests in Mr.. Burleson's admin
istrative system, was we'll aware from
the beginning of Mr.. Burlesons intention
to put practical control of the wires back
under private direction, as he saw omens
of a strike directly in his path.
The senators who have been charging
that the postmaster general sought this
way of escape from responsibility for
the confusion which he himself has
helped to create in the service probably
are not indulging in empty rhetoric.
There was one way out and the astute
Mr.. Burleson departed while the depart
ing was good.
Yet the problem of a confused wire
system is by no means nearer solution.
The telegraph companies are going
along comfortably. They do not need
financial assistance. They need their
present rates and the right to deal with
their men in their own way. Mr.. Burle-
sons record in the Postofficc Depart
ment shows that he prefers to keep his
men in condition as near to serfdom as
he can make it. The Western Union is
more liberal. 1t is devoted to an amiable
and really liberal policy of paternalism.
The telegraphers like neither of these
methods. They want their union and its
rules recognized and they seem willing
to fight. The outlook is not cheerful for
the men, the stockholders or the public
which sends kilograms.

A NEW UNITED STATES?

TIME first step has been taken by the
= House of Commons toward the forma-
tion of the United States of Great Brit
ain and Ireland. 1t has passed reso-
luton by vote of 187 to "a favoring the
appointment of commission to examine
and report upon federal system for
the government of the country. The
resolution states that "the time has ar
rived for the creation of subordinate
legislatures"
The British Parliament, as every one
knows, legislates not only for the Brit
ish empire as a whole but for all Eng
land, Wales, Scotland and ireland. 1t is
the local legislature and the imperial
legislature at the same time.
Distinguished colonial leaders have from
time to time demanded the establishment
Of an imperial Parliament made up of
representatives from all the colonies and
dominions of the empire to take over all
matters of imperial concern.
When Cecil Rhodes gave five thousand
pounds to the advocates of Irish home
rule years ago he did SO not because he
loved England less but because he loved
South Africa more. He reasoned that
ii Parliament should be set up in Dub
lin while ireland was represented in the
Parliament in London, precedent woulc
be set up for admitting representatives
from South Africa into the London Par
Lament and the work of creating great
imperial federation governed by cen
trail legislative body would be begun.
Conditions have changed radically
since Rhodes died. The South African
Union has been formed and it is nov
asking absolute independence. There 4

THE HEARTLESS POLICE

+ oCAL police, with fine disregard for
- the feelings of innocent children,
have decreed that the little ones may not
risk blowing off their fingers or blowing
out their eyes by the use of firecrackers,
toy cannons or devil bombs or firecrack-
ers over six inches long.
Public liberty has also suffered in
fringement by the edict that patients in
hospitals are not to be annoyed by noisy
explosives and that said explosives must
not therefore be discharged within a
square of said hospitals.
First thing we know, these stern men
a blue will be arresting bombthrowers.

The best advice possible to give to the
charter revisonists is to cut loose from
anybody's steam roller; get back to first
principles; be sure that the bills do not
serve any selfish interests by throwing
out one set of politicians only to benefit
another; go to the Governor frankly and
in the open as they should deal with
every politician on "The Hill" and insist
upon what they believe to be the right
thing for Philadelphia for years to come
rather than to meet the expediency of
the next mayoralty campaign, and be
assured that in the end they will triumph.
Despite the errors Of the last week, it is
not yet too late.

Its shadow kept my glad voice dumb
And crushed my gay soul with despair.

bills provided. The Governor is an able
politician as we'll as a statesman. He
has been raised in the game of politics.
He knows all there is to be learned in an
experience ranging from tyro's appren-
ticeship to holding the highest office in
the state. With such training it would
be strange to find him wholly in accord
with the theories of the most advanced
municipal reformers. Yet he was elected
by the largest majority ever given to
a candidate for the Office in this state,
is widely known to all classes Of people,
is very generally liked for his willingness
to discuss difficult things freely, and has
a shrewd ability to assess and arouse
public opinion. Are these not qualities
that should have been considered even in
the awesome presence of the Penrose
roller with full steam up?
On almost every occasion where he
has had opportunity since he became an
avowed candidate for Governor, Mr..
Sproul has earnestly impressed hearers
with his ambition to make a success of
his administration and to break the per-
sistent hoodoo which has hung over the
Governors chair in this state. 1t is not
inconsistent to believe, therefore, that
in the charter legislation, as we'll as in
other measures, he is endeavoring to see
that the outcome shall be reasonably sat
isfactory to the people and that he is
not willing to be convicted of playing any
cut-throat factional game which could
only hobble and discredit his administra-
tion as it has many others of which he
was a keenly interested spectator in his
two decades in the Senate.
