A Cottage bg the Sea

Be mine home beside the waves
A hillside tagged with clover white
That answers to the foam that
laves
The sand and scents the sea winds
flight;
Yes. there I'd bide and never roam
BY water, land and sky made
free,
There on a cliff I'd build my home,
A cottage by the songful sea.
The great deep's charm of change
fulness
The seasons through my moods
would meet,
In joy or grief ne'er cease to bless,
Echoing every pulses beat;
And, oh, the harmonies that ring
BY day and night in every key
Across my dreams their balm would
fling
Within my cottage by the sea.
When darkness fed and came the
morn,
And blossom bubbles lit the surge,
What glorious fancies would be
born
While gazing from the high cliffs
verge!
Ay, visions of the East would
throng-
What tales the wind would tell
to me
While listening to its wondrous
song
Anear my cottage by the sea!
I'd watch betimes the sea birds
fight
Past bar of sand and rocky isle,
Their wings would CLEAN like petals
white
Dawn's shattered rose in morn
ing's smile.
A myrid beauties day by day
Would lift to me their glamorie
Mid shifting mist and fairy spray
There at my cottage by the sea.
The land. alas, grim Time derides.
On even rocks he works his Will
Meath quake and flood there
naught abides,
Ocean alone defies him still;
And sometimes fast the soul e'er
Graves,
Some symbol of eternity,
And 'twould be mine beside the
waves
Within my cottage by the sea.

CIVIL WAR IN BERLIN

nERHAPS it was too much to
expect that even orderly Ger
many could get through with
a revolution without serious blood
shed, but there was a time when it
looked possible. However, what is
happening there is no indication
that the old empire will not turn
itself into a new republic with less
trouble than Russia is experiencing
in the interval. For one thing,
Germany has the Russian example
staring it in the face. For an
other, German troops are still to-
gether in sufficient numbers to be
used against the Reds of Berlin II
1t becomes necessary, for the Boil
shevik element is not so numerous
in many parts of the country as 1t
is In the big centers and most of the
troops are loyal to the new govern
ment.
The Reds are able to make the
showing they have largely because
they are ready to go to any length
of bloodshed and injustice to at
tain their ends. Arm every thug
in New York with a gun and a pock-
etful of bombs and unite them un-
der one leader and they might be
able to make life very unpleasant
for a time. Increase the numbers
of such by the addition of sincere
but mistaken citizens and you haYe
conditions as they are now in Ger
many.
We may regret this outburst of
radicalism because of its possible
effects on other countries, but one
cannot help but feel that Germany

frightfulness she inflicted upon 9TH
ers, and that the medicine may have
a good effect.

When the Great Die

Whenever a truly great man dies
the world is wrenched around to a
fresh realization of the futility of
hasty judgments.
No man is perfect. None can be
altogether blameless. Yet 1t is a COM
mon habit of peoples everywhere to
demand of those whom they exalt
something of the infallibility re-
served for demigods and to unloose
upon every favorite tempests of de-
rision in the moments of his failure.
Few of us stop to realize that it is
very easy to stumble on the way to
the heights because that road is
rocky and uneven and perilous with
obstacles unknown to those who live
in the peace and comfort of the low
lands.
Roosevelt had to die before all his
own people realized how great he
was. 1t might be we'll to remember
this now when temperate view and
just opinions are among the great
est needs of the hour.-Philadel-

tin, former associate on The Star,
in New York City. I'D like to trade
places with you." Martin said. 'I'm
sorry, but / can't trade" was Bea-
toms answer. A few months later
Beaton was killed in action in
France. This verse. based on that
meeting, was written by Martin, also
a soldier, for the New York Herald:
Now that it's all over, jug"
And Flanders Fields are still:
Just the birds and flowers with you
There beside the hill.
Now that shrieking shells are gone

Would you your good fortune spurn ?
Would you trade your place with
me?
Could you ever happy be

Took your place where heroes lie?

THAT BILLION DOLLARS

TTOPELESS of winning their fight
n before the people, the liquor
interests have determined to
spend their billion dollar fund in an
endeavor to swing the Supreme Court
of the, United States around to their
way of thinking. The biggest lawyers
in the country are to be hired to
1ght the battle. What cannot be pre-
vented by appeal to the popular will
the liquor people hope to accomplish
through legal technicality.
They should know better. The
decision of the Supreme Court in
the Webb-Kenyon law is a straw in
the wind. More and more the Su-
preme Court is basing its decisions
ON the accomplished fact. The will of
the people is the fundamental upon
which the government of the Unit.
ed States is based, and it is ex-
tremely unlikely that the Supreme
Court would trifle with an amend
ment that beyond all questions bears
the stamp of approval of a vast
majority of the voters of the United
States placed thereon in good faith.

Futu Hours to Frisco

philadelphia Evening Bulletin.l
Crossing the continent from San
Diego to Hazlehurst Field, at Mi
nicola, in fifty hours of actual flying
time, the four army airplanes are
to be credited with an achievement
which is to be but slightly discount
ed by the fact that delays due to
weather and to their duty of map
ping an air route and locating land
ing places, involved q much greater
elapsed time. The fact that the four
planes came through without change
of engines or important repairs of
any kind is evidence of the quality
of an American Army plane.
Other equally creditable perform
ances were recorded yesterday. The
map-making squadron of three
planes, coming north from Ellington
Field, at Houston. Texas, reached
Detroit, a distance of 1,476 miles,
In about fourteen and a half hours
flying time, making the last lap of
zoo miles in ninety-five minutes. An
other bombing plane is reported to
have been driven between Dayton
and Cleveland at the rate of 172
miles an hour.
All this is proof that quality pro-
duction is being achieved by the
American airplane manufacturers,
and that there is no reason why the
United States should lag behind for
eign countries in the development
of this American invention. In the
last analysis it is likely to be foSnd
that the deficiency in the national
effort for war aviation equipment
was chiefly in quantity, or in prece-
dence unwisely given to quantity
over quality, and the actual result
of the war effort will be measured
by advanced character of the planes
which will now be produced in
America for civil and semicivil serv-
ice

THE automobile business rs get

idly. One of the first lines of
trade in the country to feel the ef-
fects of the conflict, it has been also
one of the first to resume operations

While many other industrial heads
have been hesitating, trying to feel

the pulse of supply and demand, the
autom obile manufacturers to a man
have turned their attention to prep
arations for the biggest year in their
history. There has been no doubt in
their minds as to the future of the
country. With the same high cour-
age and concentration of energy that
have developed the infant automo-
bile business from a doubtful child
hood to the healthiest young giant in
the world of trade, the makers of
cars have started to manufacture on
a scale that is on a par with pre-
war years and that will be reflected
in many other lines of activity.
The Harrisburg dealers, rejecting
this general sentiment in the trade,
have arranged for a show to open

REPUBLICAN PROGRAM

-HE preliminary Republican pro-
gram as developed at the Chi
- cago meetings is one upon
which the party may go before the
people next year with every hope of
success. 1t is true blue American
right of the individual as against
class privilege and for private own
ership with government regulation
rather than public ownership with
all it's attendant evils Of political in
fiuence and constant change of Of
ficials with every overturn OF an ad-
ministration.
1t advocates universal suffrage for
women, who have won the right to
that consideration by their heroic
efforts during the war and in this
respect is in strong contrast with
the backing and filling of the Demo-
cratic majority now at Washington
on this important subject.
It is not a complete program, but
It is good so far as it goes and 1t
is remarkably free from mere fault
finding. This Is its best feature. Re-
publican members of Congress may
be expected to develop the errors of
the present administration-and
heaven knows they require no Sher-
lock Holmes for the job-but to rest
the Republican party's future upon
a platform OF mere negation would
have been suicidal.
The voters are convinced of the
shortcomings and of the Wilson ad-
ministration. They may depend
upon to voice their displeasure at
the polls, as they did last November,
but in casting about for a remedy
they will look for party that not
only promises to do better in a gen.
eral way, but which has very con-
crete and progressive ideas as to
just what it stands for and means
to do If placed in power.
The Republican leaders are on the
right track. They have started we'll
and the skeleton platform outlined
last week at Chicago will bring to it's
standards hundreds of thousands of
voters who are either wavering in
their support of the President or dis
susted with conditions at Washing
ton. Tho Democrats have no plat
form and nobody knows where they
stand on public ownership or any
\other of the big topics of the day. It
Is doubtful II they themselves know.
