Europe. Her statesmen cherish it. And
yet they are the first of any of the neu-
trail nations to solicit entrance into the
world league. In letter addressed to
the President by the Spanish ambassador
in Paris hearty acceptance of the cove
nant idea is registered even before the
plan takes final form. The tone of the
Endorsement is not only hearty but eager,
implying not the remotest shadow on
sovereignty that has been so zealously
guarded through good times and bad.
The moral significance of this move is
of prime Importance. AS practical
contribution to the virility of the league
it is also impressive, for there are sew
eral million more people in Spain than
in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and the
Netherlands combined. The league
should be proud to welcome this ven-
cradle partner.

sOUAKERS AND WORLD DESIRE

THERE was nothing new in the anti
war sentiments expressed by the Or
thodoX Friends in a session of their
yearly meeting here yesterday, but the
circumstances under which they were ut
tered have no parallel in the past. For
though membership in the religious So
ciety whose great leader founded Phila-
delphia has been of slender growth of
late years, one of the prime tenets of
their faith unites virtually the whole of
civilization in common belief. Exclu-
sively spiritual conversion on the sub
ject has been, Of course, what the Quall-
ers have desired.
Mankind in general, however, has
staggered toward the truth through very
much more violent processes. War itself
has branded war as a curse. 1t seems
cruel and pitiful way to achieve the
result, but it is one at least which all
minds can comprehend.
The change seems to have been appre-
ciated by the Friends in their indorse-
ment of an attitude of respect toward
those Quakers who have fought for world
emancipation. During the American
Revolution and for while thereafter
there was schism in the society caused
by Reputation Of the Free Quakers"
who had fought in the Continental army.
The faef that that situation is not now
repeated indicates the Friends, still en-
i phasizing their adherence of war. may
perhaps be looking for the support of
\ their own members who in supreme
crisis shouldered arms.
Obviously there need now be no wide
spiritual gap between those who fought
and those who have, as usual, condemned
war at the Arch street meeting. Quaker
ideals are no longer confined to few
Now that the barbarian is felled such
ideals are the hope of the world

SPANISH PRIDE AND THE PACT

NIATIONAL consciousness in Spain is
much older than that in most of the
other countries of continental Europe.
IT was an intense and vital sentiment
when Italy, Germany, Belgium and the
Netherlands as organized governments
were unborn and while France was par
fitioned in the violent wars of religion.

Icompanying ruthlessness in the sixteenth
century, when the monarchy at Madrid
was the most powerful and imperial Of.
the globe.
The years of disaster following the
defeat of the Armada brought no slack
ening Of the passion for national sover-
signify. The vast empire of the viceroys
vanished, vet pride in Spain survived
,1S Spain weathered successive blows.
'f1apeleon ascribed his fall to that in
1cstructible sentiment manifested SO
superbly at Saragossa and throughout
the Peninsular War.
Many boundary lines were redrawn by

THE THING TO DO

TIME plan of Select Councilman Ulrich
= to relocate the street car tracks on
Old York road and build sidewalks while
the street is regarded and paved is so
good that there can be no serious opposi-
tion to it.
At present there are no sidewalks and
the tracks are on the side of the road.
Pedestrians have to walk in the center,
where they are in constant danger from
automobiles. There have been numer-
GUS fatal accidents. Parents living in its
vicinity are afraid to let their children
60 out on Sunday because of the large
number of motorcars running at high
speed.
Councils is expected to pass Mr..
Ulrich's bill with the least possible delay
in order that the present dangerous con-
ditions on the highway may be removed.

THE SEDITION BILL

WHATEVER is mean, hidden. furtlve,
w bigoted or virulent in social and po-
litcal propaganda should be put down
consistently and mercilessly in this coun-
try. The very generosity of America and
the American people and the greatness
of the ideal symbo,ized in our form Of
government and actually realized in the
service we have done in Europe make a
traitor seem more despicable here than
he could be anywhere else on the planet.
But even traitors may be dealt with
without hysteria. This nation and its
government developed and grew strong
through rational criticism of sort that
often seemed radical in the light of the
contemporary opinion of earlier times.
Will the members of the Legislature at
Harrisburg be able to see clearly and
unerringly the differences that lie be-
tween the two methods of political action
represented by a malignant demagogue
and constructive, if liberal, criticism
That is pretty important question now
when a bill designed to check sedition is
being made to include many sweeping
restrictions.
Unquestionably there are fanatics in
the United States who, as agitators of
the new school, are willing to preach
disrespect of law. They are potentially
dangerous. But they are comparatively
few and futile. They thrive momentarily
only where they can weave fantasies
against a background of intense igno-
rance.
Law in this country is law because it
represents, and always will represent, the
collective will of the majority. 1t is
always safe and always beyond attack
1t represents the experience of centuries
of intelligent aspiration in government
The man who disrespects law is hardly
less foolish than the man who assumes
that it needs great artificial protective
agencies to insure its survival. 1t is
because the law itself is inviolate and
evolutionary that it should protect,
rather thar hinder, those who criticize
its reactions in all sincerity.
Political dissatisfaction that normally
finds expression in frank and open criti-
cism cannot be eased by clubs such as
were swung the other day at Toledo, O.
No one who has any ralid grievance can
be gagged in America. No one who
would restrict free speech properly inter-
prets the spirit of the law of the United
States. And when bill is so drawn
that it might be interpreted some time
by some reactionary Judge with a crouch
against progress as to restrict Just
criticism of government officials and in
stitutions it cannot long survive on the
statute books.
The so-called sedition bill now up for
consideration at Harrisburg should not
be passed in too greatla hurry

tionship that is, strangely enough, nobler
than any theory yet propounded by po-
litical philosophers.
The rise of materialistie philosophy
has enervated almost every political
party in the world.
Belief in the universal value of mere
possessions eliminated in the insanity
Of Germany. Kaiserism was rapacity
gone mad.
A Bolshevist is merely little man
raging in his little World and trying to
assimilate, in his own life, philosophy
that was too strong even for the Ger
man nation.
The American soldier remains to think
in terms of the spirit, in terms of pride
and in terms of unselfish service and
achievement. 1t remains to be seen
whether the men who are leaders in
American civil life are wise enough to
study him with profit.
The men of our own Iron Division en-
dured much of the bitterest fighting of
the war. The city will blaze for them
when they arrive.
But cheers, music, color and day of
enthusiasm will not be enough. If we let
it go at that we shall be the losers, not
they.
What is life to be like for them later

AN EIGHT.HOUR VICTORY

CRlTICISM of the women's eight-hour
~ bill offered by the legislative commit
tee of the Chamber of Commerce has a
friendly tone and is, in effect, a decIara-
ton in support of the measure.
1t is suggested by the members of the
committee that the bill is loosely drawn.
That is fault that can be easily cor
rected if it exists.
In a general way, the committees re-
port should be cheering to the women
who have worked hard for the eight-hour
day, since it implies a promise of fresh
aid in behalf of the pending bill.
