NO CHANCE FOR TOURISTS YET.

Ambassador Davis cables from Lon
don that it is practically impossible to
obtain steamship accommodations for
this country and advises no one to go
from here 10 Europe except on press
ing business, unless return passage can
be secured. At present the steamship
companies are chary about giving n
turn dates, SO that pleasure tourists
longing for Europe had better turn
their attention elsewhere
That Is not the only obstacle to going
abroad An American desiring To visit
Europe must first get passport, which
Is somewhat easier to accomplish now
than il was. but IS still matter of much
difficulty. Even when secured only a
beginning has been made. for II IS OF
no value unless vised by the representa-
tiveS OF the European countries to be
visited, and the wise IS is refused unless
good reasons are shown. II may be that
some months later the situation will
improve, but as a rule, tourists anxious
to see the battlefelds Of Europe this
summer are destined to disappointment.
Passenger vessels Will be busy in trans
porting soldiers from Europe to all parts
Of the world, and IN any event visitors
will not have satisfactory time of it
until peace is finally declared, and the
wisest man would not care to predict

THE WIRELESS BILL,

BY unanimous vote the House Com

cries has laid on the tabler-kiled- the
bill Offered by the Secretary of the
Navy for the purchase and ownership
Of the wireless systems Of the country.
The committee, Of course, has an ad-
ministration majority but sound sense
Overcame whatever sentiment Of easy
good-fellowship might have been in
spired TO favor Mr. Daniels magnif-
cent scheme, with its threat of piling
a new and enormous financial burden
on the country with no corresponding
benefit IN sight
This is the first action to be taken
on any Of the government ownership
propositions, and il is exemplary, Be
cause Of the wireless requirements OF
the Naval Service. the bill had an ap-
pcarance Of merit by contrast TO come
Of the administration offerings. But
in fact, the Navy viii never be bereft
Of wireless service, regardless Of own

THE SPIRIT OF THE HOUSE.

THE SPIRIT OF THE HOUSE.
Il isn't the chairs and the books and ths
things.
Or the pictures that hang on the walls
And it isn't the bird, although gaylv he
sings;
It's the laughter that ring. in the halls
It's the smile on the face of the mothel
at night
And the Joy in the little ones eyes
And our love for each other with all Its
delight.
That make up the home that we prize
The house IS just mortar and stone In itself
And the fireplace like all of its kind
There isn't a window or door or a shelf
But many just like it you II find
But the home IS endowed with a spirit
that's rich
And the commonest nook is aglow
With the love and devotion and tender
Make sacred the home that we know
There are many who costlier furnishings
own,
And many with treasures we miss,
But nowhere for us Is such happiness
known
There dwell our contentment and bliss.
And We envy no mortal his station or place
Ills home with our home can { compare.
For our house is blessed by an Infinite
And enriched by the spirit that's there

PRESS COMMENT.
PENN STATES NEW PILOT.

Pennsylvania changed governors Tucs-
| day, but this does not mean SWING
| from the G. o. Il. ideals and theories.
The new governor belongs, apparently
| with the class in politics that is keeping
pace with the progress of political ideas.
His inaugural address deals mainly with
state issues, but il does touch national
questions and world issues at points. In
the opening paragraphs of his address he
discusses the spread of Bolshevic theories,
and, sofar as the government which he VIII
head can accomplish results, he promises
To deal with this political distemper
this reasonable propagandism that IS
'arrayed against all government and all
restraint" by Thorough justice, backed
by an alert, forccful and G9dfearlng
public sentiment"
Pennsylvania is about to inaugurate n
state road building system. fund OF
$50, ,000.0 600 has been provided through
n state loan, but Pennsylvania is fortunate
IN having special sources from which
large sums for road building will be obtain
cd The Governor makes reference also
to the fact, that the national govern
mcnt will expend n large amount IN the
construction of postal roads IN Penn
eylvania. lie makes particular comment
upon the fact that Pennsylvania S road
building scheme will be started at tmc
when the readjustmcnt Of the labor prob
lem must be handled
Great expectations attach, apparently,
10 Governor Sprouts administration.
The new governor Is popular with all
classes. Much emphasis is laid IN the
comment Of the state papers upon his
"'busincss-like directness.' Hrs inaugural
