The annual convention of the u. D.
c. is now in session in Louisville. KY.
The meeting was to have been held
last November, but on account of
the influenza epidemic in that state,
the health authorities prohibited any
kind of gathering, so it was postpon-
ed until the present time. The two
delegates who had been chosen to
represent Dickson Chapter, were
Mrs. E. L. Carney and Mrs. Emily
Green, but owing to circumstances
neither of the ladies were able to at
tend the convention. Mrs. Amos Fl.
Norris of Tampa, state president of
the U. d. c., who is so pleasantly re-
membered in Ocala. will represent
Dickson chapter and cast its votes.

o. I'll. S. HABITS

There are habits good and habits bad,
And habits merry and habits sad.
AS a general rule they are easy to
make,
And once we've made them, they're
hard to break.
But every one of US makes few,
Because it's natural thing to do;
Some think we've too many burdens
to bear,
Some of US grumble too much at a
care,
But the high school would brighten
as ne'er before,
If we got the habit of smiling more.

TO TEST P. R. 7. RENTALS

IF PLANS now under way carry, the
4 voidabihty of the contracts between
the P. r. T. and the underlying companies
will be passed upon by competent au-
thority. The United Business Men. As.
sociation is making arrangements to ask
the Public Service Commission to reduce
the rentals paid to the companies whose
franchises have been leased to the
P. r. T.
Those rentals last year amounted to
1886, ,390.94, or about one cent out of
every fare collected from the passengers.
They are excessive. As annual dividends
they range as high as y per cent on the
money invested in the original compa-
nies. They are so great that it makes
the maintenance of a tve-Cent fare diff
cult. If they could be reduced to a rea-
sonable sum the $3O,OOO,OOO in actual cash
invested in the P. r. T. securities could
earn good dividends and the public could
be assured that the fare would not be
raised.
The Supreme Court has sustained the
contention Of the Public Service Commits
sion that it has power to modify a con-
tract between a rapid transit company
and a municipality when the public inter-
est will be served. 1t remains to be de-
cided that the Public Service Commission
has power to modify a contract between
two or nore rapid transit companies, if
such modification would serve public.
ends.
The P. R. T. is handicapped by its
contract with the underlying companies,
and that contract has complicated every
attempt to solve the transit problem. 1t
has never been reviewed by competent
authority Whether the Public Service
Commission will admit that the United
Business Mems Association has sufficient
interest to have any standing in court
will appear when it submits its petition.
Its effort, however, is worth while, what
ever may be the outcome

it decently despite all the noise and the
pickering. All the lunatics of one sort
and another who get in the way will be
eliminated one by one as time passes.
Mercier's philosophy can be of use to all
Americans. Be right, be fair, be just,
be courageous and you cannot lose!
What men say counts for as much in
the end as what they do. When Card
nal Mercier visits Independence Hall to-
morrow he may realize something of the
effect which his own work will have in
later generations. What was said at In
dependence Hall changed the course of
civilization. And what Cardinal Mer-
cier said and what others said in the
great documents Of the Allied struggle
will remaip after most of the sorrows Of
the war are forgotten-to harass Ger
many, to warn men and governments and
to be an inspiration to all those who
have it in their hearts to do right. D..

HORSES AND MOToRCARS

THE photographs of scenes at the Al
L lentown agricultural fair, reproduced
on the last page of the EVENING PUBLIC
LEDGER last night indicate that the
motorcar has not eliminated the horse,
even though the people who visited the
fair went there in their own cars. The
view of the horse race showed hundreds
of automobiles parked in the green in
the center of the track, while their own
ers sat in the grand stand watching the
test of speed of the horses.
The convenience of the gasoline-driven
vehicle cannot destroy admiration for
horse nor interest in his speed Nor can
the gasoline engine dispIace the draught
horse on the farm, as the exhibition of
splendid Percheron horses from Colonel
Trexler's farm Indicated
In another generation flying machines
may take the place of the automobiles
of today on Che Allentown fair grounds,
but the horse will hold his own and he
will be put on the track to test his speed,
and he will be exhibited as a draught
animal for work which no machine can do.

SPROUTS SANITY

GOVERNOR SPROUTS reply to w
~ 2. Fosters complaint against the ac-
tivitics of the state police in the steel
strike is one of the sanest utterances
which have thus far been made about the
situation.
The Governor informs Foster that the
interest of the state authorities is in the
maintenance of law and order and the
protection of the rights of the strikers
and chose of all Of our people, citizens
and SojOumers alike, who live within our
laws"
Yet the Governor lets it be known in
no uncertain way that if armed men from
other states enter Pennsylvania in
mass "to spread wicked propaganda and
to endeavor to ncite the ignoran" and
vicious to riot and pilIage" they will be
treated as enemies of the state and will
be apprehonded and punished.
There is no sentimental talk about the
oppression Of the poor and the cruelty
of the rich, nor is there any taking of
sides in the dispute between the workers
and their employers. But there is mani
tested a firm determination to stand by
the officers Of the law created for the
purpose Of preserving order and pro-
tecting the lives and property Of the peo-
pie, regardless Of class or occupation.
Strikers have never liked the state
police, for the reason that the police have
never winkcd at rioting. The labor lead
ers have fought the police ever since it
was organized. They opposed the law
authorizing its enlargement passed at
the last session Of the Legislature. But
the public regards the state police as one
of the finest products of the legislation
of this commonwealth. Its record has
been so fine that other states have sent
their agents here to study its organiza-
ton and its methods, and some of them
have authorized the creation Of a similar
force of men.
The tenor of the Governors letter is
such that it is safe to infer from it that
if he finds that the state police are not
strong enough to preserve order he will
call out other forces that rotng may be
prevented or suppressed if it shall become
serious. He is wholly right and should
have the united support of all the people.

THE AMERICAN LEGION

THE campaign to induce every one of
< the 10000 men of this city who wore
the United States uniform during the
late war to join the American Legion
will reach its climax in the Academy of
Music tonight, when Governor Sproul
and other distinguished men will indorse
the project to form a permanent associa-
tion of the soldiers and sailors.
The men behind the organization have
wisely decided that it must be kept out
of partisan politics. They will not ignore
public questions, however, but when
great issues are absorbing the attention
of the public it will make an attempt to
express the sentiment of its members.
This will not be so easy as it seems.
for most great issues divide men into
different groups which usually CORE
spond with the groups in the great politi-
cal parties. For example, all agree on
the Importance of the development of
American industries and on the expan-
sion of foreign trade, but when it comes
to the means to be employed there is wide
difference of opinion All are agreed on
the Importance of maintaining the
American flag on the high seas, but there
is no agreement as to the best way to
develop and preserve a merchant marine.
The American Legion can promote
good fellowship among the soldiers and
sailors without attempting to enter the
field of controversy. If it lays stress on
this phase of its contemplated activities
it is likely to find permanent place for
itself; and if quarter of the men eligi-
bic to membership join we shall have an
association that will fill large place in
the life of the country.

IS ONE at eve, with eyes set wistfully
\ Against the blue of heaven far away,
Waits till his star lift through the tren-

His smile we wait today.
The selfsame smile, clear gaze without a
blur,
Relit the magic May in furthest night
When on his verdant wales the murderer
Had set his seal of might.
Then like the golden day that dying turns
To evenings star above the flooded bar,
All we, that may, crown him whose brave
soul burns
With radiance of a star
