OUT OE GERMANY

THOSE persistent harbingers OF woe
= who a year ago forecast decade of
war and then on armistce day croaked
about the inevitable lengthy occupation
Of the Rhine by American troops will
have to expand new theme. Within a
week the French will have completed
their movements for taking over all the
areas in Germany formerly held by our
soldiers The First American Division
starts entraining for Brest today. The
Third is now on its way home.
:. In reality the American occupation
period has been singularly brief. Federal
troops were maintained in some south
ern states from 1865 until 1870. Our
two periods of Cuban intervention were
each longer than our stay in Germany
Complete rehabilitation of the war
army is promised for October.
With due reservation concerning need
less defects of administration and eX-
asperating red-tape tangles, the eXpedi-
tionary force is cleaning up and clearing
out with dispatch. The peace footing is
merely an alluring promise in most of
the formerly belligerent countries. In
the United States it is taking the stamp
of performance.

DOTH Judge Patterson and Congress-
~ man Moore have announced that they
would indulge in no mud singing during
the campaign. Ne ther of them can
escape responsibility for it, however, if
he sits on the platform in public hall
while one of his supporters tries to
smudge the other candidate.
When Coroner Knight at a meeting in
the Forty-sixth ward, addressed by
Judge Patterson, took fling at Con-
gresham Moore by saying that one Of
the congressman's sons was working at
good pay in Hog Island all through the
war he indirectly indicted the patriotism
of the congressman and did his best to
create the impression that his American
ism was questionable. But the coroner
said nothing of the two other sons of the
congressman who wore the United States
uniform with the encouragement and
hearty Endorsement of their father.
The least that Judge Patterson can do
Is to dis5wn responsibility for Coroner
Knights fling at the congressman and
to give notice to all those who speak in
his support that they must refrain from
such mud singing in the future.

PATTERSON SHOULD RESIGN

WHY has Philadelphia so persistently
W cherished the aloofness of its judges
from active party campaigning? Why
has it supported nonpartisan judiciary
tickets and so clearly differentiated be-
tween the role of an arbiter in a law
court and that of any other officeholder?
1t is Of course because the political
isolation of judge has insured security
and fair play in our courts.
The continuance of Judge Patterson to
hold his commission as judge during his
campaign violates an admirable, a ne
Cessary and a time-honored tradition.
The holder of seat upon the bench
ought not to be subjected to the tempta-
ton to play politics. Occupying a posi-
tion of keen responsibility, his oppor-
tunities to favor friends or punish fac
tonal foes are too profuse not to color
his judgments, however sincerely he may
seek to be impartial. The subtle infu-
cnce of his active political affiliations is
difficult to resist.
Judge Patterson in earnest conference
with Ward Boss .Seger, whose allegiance
is in doubt-a scene just enacted in At
lantic City-shows how difficult it is to
keep away from political bargaining. The
judge has an unquestioned right to run
for Mayor, but that act cannot be recon-
Cled with his simultaneous tenure of a
bench seat. His proposal not to accept
salary while campaigning does not al
leviate the offense, but merely accentu-
ates it, since it shows the judge recognizes
the inconsistency. The fact remains that
if defeated he expects to return to the
bench and it would be more than human
not to carry bitter personal dislikes with
him. He should resign at once.

DAYLIGHT SAVING SAVED

DRESIDENT Wilson weighs gains
L against losses in his veto of the new
act to end daylight saving and finds the
balance in favor of the present summer
clock Few laws are of universal benefit
The greatest good of the community as
a whole must be the measuring stand
ard.
As Mr.. Wilson points out, the "press-
ing need of the country is production"
Daylight saving immensely aids it in in
dustrial centers.
Fortunately, the Presidents second
veto of an anti-daylight saving law is
unmixed with other important legisla-
tion. The repeal had no place as a rider
on the agricultural bill. Standing by
itself after a persistent Congress had
voted once more against "fat time," the
case could be judged on its merits. This
is what has been done and the decision
should be final.

STAGE UPLIFT: NEW FASHION

TT is unlikely that the social unrest of
4 Miss Ethel Barrymore or the passion
ate sub -boshevism of Francis Wilson
will ever be revealed at a congressional
inquiry in manner such as would appeal
to the dramatic instincts of Mr. Stone,
of the brotherhoods. This is sad.
If, let US say, the government should
be asked to settle the theatre strike by
taking over control of musical comedy,
the odd and moving drama now being
enjoyed exclusively by tired business men
who seek their rest about Forty second
street and Broadway would be shifted to
a plane upon which the whole nation
might view it. 1t is a great show. The
maidens of the chorus have not yet
rioted. But they may, they may! The
downtrodden drive up to strike headquar-
tiers in glimmering limousnes for their
tour of picket duty-no less resolute
than the wistful little herones who set
the fashion long ago in the days of shirt
waist strikes, no less earnest than a
member of the plumbers helpers union!
The divine Ethel, we are told sways
down the steps from the headquarters
striker too; locked out because she
Is on the side of labor. George Cohan
goes slamming out of the Friars Club,
never to return, because the Friars are
consecrated to the cause of the oppressed
gsCmedian.
Oppressed comedians! Who ever knew
that the world held such tragedy? We
always supposed that their days were
free of troubles. So they led US to be-
lieve, and that is one of the reasons why
human sympathy flows toward them now
in great tides. Some one higher up, it
appears, insisted that they work hard for
nothing-at the business of making other
people laugh. That is hard task surely.
Did the maidens of the choruses strike
because of the high cost of bisque tortoni
or because brutal profiteers cornered all
the peche melba, content to let them
starve? Had some one cunningly pos
sessed all of the lobster supply to hold
It Until starving Russia and PROSTATE

The Ships That Brought
Then, Over

THESE are the ships that brought them
And all through life will their names

Sheering west from the cliffs of Dover.
Into the waste with the sunset stain.
Slipping from Brest in a Channel rain,
Tiring swift as a khaki rover,
With pulse swing to the engine strain
These are the ships that brought them over.
The Calamares and Hercules.
The Santa Ana and Luckenbach
And lifting far on the topping seas,
Day dreaming they'll see the Ancon's
stack.
The Baltic under the flying wrack,
Swinging west to the land of clover,
No more to travel on wars red track
These are the ships that brought them over.
The Pocahontas and Muscatine,
The Nansemond and Leviathan;
And ever westward the spars would lean,
And days seemed years on the tossing
span.
On the Henderson strained eyes would
The misty west where dreams would hover.
And hearts were gay on the Rapidan.
These are the ships that brought them over.

The man in the street usually has his
way. He may be fooled and befuddled
and cheated in small ways for long
time because he is slow in judgment and
able to endure great deal in good
humor. He knows how to smile at pre-
tenders and how to be tolerant of fools.
In the mass he wants to be decent and
rational in his life and he is easy to get
along with until his patience is tried too
far.
Everybody knows what happens after
that. We have seen it in elections, in
victories, in defeats, in strikes, in wars.
A good many people are irritating the
man in the street nowadays. Unless all
signs are false they are on the way to
surprising knowledge.
