THE LINELIGHT OF WAR

The war has shown US the COM
plete moral rottenness of two great
European empires. 1t has shown us
men of culture, statesmen, diplomats,
lying and plotting murder. 1t has
shown us ambassadors, apparently
polished gentlemen, turned out by
the best tailors. advising their gov
ernments to sink the ships of the
friendly countries to which they
were accredited, without leaving
traces of the human beings aboard
those ships There is not a crime
which devils might be supposed to
whisper hoarsely to one another in
the darkest regions of He'll that these
representatives of civilization have
not embraced as a virtue. We have
become so familiar with it that we
have ceased to realize its utter hor-
ror. The Peace Conference is be-
coming more and more political in
its nature. more and more concerned
with technical details. Something
more than this is absolutely neces-
sary If we are to make the world
safe not only for democracy, but for
the human soul.-Alfred Moves in
The Saturday Evening Post.

SHOULD SIT HERE

X OVERNoR sPROUL and other
VI important State officials and
leaders of the Senate and
House are emphatically of the opin-
ion that in the concentration of the
functions of government at Harris
burg special attention should be
given to the Supreme Court Under
the present arrangement, this court
of last resort in Pennsylvania is a
peripatetic body in that it has sit
tings at Philadelphia, Harrisburg
and Pittsburgh. most of the sessions
being held in Philadelphia.
So long as there were inadequate
provisions for the court here, there
was no argument against the present
arrangement, but now that the State
has furnished ample quarters for
the higher tribunal in the Capitol
and the city has overcome the lack
of proper hotel accommodations, 1T
would seem that the time has arrived
for permanent sittings of the higher
court here at the seat of Government.
The dignity of the Supreme Court
and its accessibility to all having
business with it are factors to be
considered in the consideration of a
permanent location in Harrisburg.
1t is known that many distinguished
lawyers favor this arrangement and
there is no doubt that a number of
the justices also believe the time has
come for the change that has been
so long discussed.

India for the Indians" means the
rehabilitation of British rule in
India, not suddenly, but gradually
as India is prepared to take control
of her own affairs. 1t is an enormous
task, this training of one-fifth the
worlds inhabitants, whose whole re-
ligious and social fabric is utterly
unsuited to democracy, but England
is pledged to the accomplishment of
it. 1t does not mean the indepen-
dence of lndia--for no Indian of
any influence to-day desires inde-
pendence-but the autonomy of In
dia as an effective unit in the British
Empire. India is to be full sister
of Canada, Australia, South Africa
and New Zealand. India, the hand
maid of Great Britain, is to be
adopted into the family.
India at the Peace Conference
AS a pledge of Great Britain's
solemn promise, two sons of India
sit at the Peace Conference. One son
of India-Lord Sinha, the first In
lian to become a British peer "a
miracle of miracles itself)-sits in
the House of Lords and in the Brit
ish cabinet. So great is England's
gratitude for Indian loyalty and sac
rifce in the dark days of the great
war.
The war has fastened all. the pro-
cesses of transition and transforma-
ton, of development and reform,
that were already at work in India.
In the words of Lord Morley, I'VE

stupendous process, the reconstruct
ton of a decomposed society, paral-
lei to the movement in Europe in

AS TO 1920

A LREADY the Republican NAL
y contents here and there
throughout the country are
preparing for factional activities
next year. Not satisfied with criti-
cising the party leaders, they are
proclaiming their intention to oppose
this or that candidate who doesn't
happen to suit their peculiar views
of governmental policy and action.
We shall hear much. of course. of
special privilege and reactionaries
and the like, but the body of the
Republican voters are not going TO
be deceived again by these dis
turbers of party harmony.
Next years campaign is to be a
real fight for a return to sanity in
government and the little men who
are bobbing up here and there are
likely to be suppressed by Republi-
can sentiment vigorously expressed.
Colonel Roosevelt had entire con-
fidence in National Chairman HAYS
and was working with him up until
almost the last hour of his life with
a view to restoring party harmony
and constructive policies. 1t is not
likely that the malcontents will be
able to use the name of Roosevelt to
camouflage their factional activities
1t is reassuring symptom of
sane party management that no slate
has been prepared for 1920. Repub-
licans are going to consider all the
questions involved in the readiust-
ment of war problems and they can
afford to wait for the development of
the candidate who will be the next
occupant of the White House,
speaking of the Republican voters.

UNIFORMITY IN SHOOTING

A THE present Legislature does
u not show much disposition to
make changes in the dog
license code of 1917 that would work
interference with it's efficiency, would
it not be well for the various county
authorities to get together in regard
to its enforcement? The secretary
of Agriculture is charged with this
duty, but, beyond eXhortation, his
means are comparable to the author
ity he holds over the growing of
moss on Greenlands icy mountains.
And the State Game Commission.

lican in 1920, says they are entitled
to and will demand a candidate and
a platform they can support without
reservation or regret" OF course,
they will. That is precisely the atti-
tude of National Chairman Hays and
the strong party leaders. There is
no disposition anywhere TO force a
candidate upon the party who does
not represent the best Republican
traditions and the principles upon
which the country has been develop
ed and grown great.
National Chairman Hays is a men,
Der of the Roosevelt Permanent
Memo orial Committee, which recently
decided to establish and endow a
permanent organization with the
purpose ito promote the develop
ment and application of the policies
of Theodore Roosevelt for the bene-
fit of the American people," This
would seem to indicate clearly that
the head of the Republican National
Committee is avoiding all factional-
ism in an earnest effort to harmon
ize party differences with a view to
presenting a formidable and con-
structive front next year.

SOnQ Of q TOu Windmill


The wind blows wild, the wind blows
free,
But what is the whirl O. the wind to
me?
move to the breath of butterflies.
To the CLINT of a song in children's
eyes,
To the CLEAN of red in sunset skies
To the kiss of fate,
Early and late
To the sigh of the fool, and the
laugh of the wise!
For he who made me and shaped
my wings,
And painted my windows green and
white,
Had heard the song that a. swift
shell sings,
In the bleak, black night.
He had lost an eye and leg. but
he knew
The secrets trusted to very fews
And soft in the DUSK as he fash
He sang this song. exultantly:
"Let the hurricane pass you by,
The whirlwind's scream and torna-
dos cry:
Move to the touch of the truer
things
The gentle plaint that the ring-dove
sings
To the sun bright edge of an air
planes wings.
For it matters not though the whole
world die,
If a rainbow span the storm swept
sky!"
So-what is the whirl of the wind
to me?
I move to the dream of Eternity!

FdreUeU to Local Boards

This bit of verse was written by a
young woman attache of the State
Draft Headquartersl.
And now the time has come to say
farewell
To faithful friends comprising
Local Boards,
We know full we'll how zealously
you stroVe
To help push back onrushing Ger
man hordes.
You started with heroic zeal
To raise an army strong and vast,
That Liberty might bless the world
And live for aye-the die was cast.
You gazed afar on Flanders fields,
Saw Picardys stricken plain,
America then staked her all
That Peace might live again.
Across the seas you rushed our SOL
diers brave
That they might win a Freedom
just and true,
And thus the nations and the world
might save
Encircled round our flag of red
and white and blue.
And Local Boards, it's Peace has
closed your doors
For you no selfish motive had in
view;
To bring the boon of Liberty to
other shores
Was the only aim for you to dare
and do.
And now that your work is ended
And we reflect on your many
trials,
And think of the long and weary
wait
That YOU had for those steel files.
And of the time when the rush was
lfegcnt
And you were asked to carry
on"
And felt every minute was pressing
For the great work to be done.
We are glad that you never faltered
For your work brought joy and
cheer;
You crushed the yoke of slavery
And you dried the orphans tear.
And now that the war is over
And our work with the Boards is
done,
We can joyfully turn to other tasks
Hun.
So fare thee we'll, oh Local Boards,
We trust all war shall cease
AS silently we close our desks
With a prayer for League of
Peace.

THE SALARY BOARD BILL

VTYHILE the bill to create the
wv State Salary Board, with power
to adjust pay and duties of
people connected with the State
government will not bring about an
ideal condition en- Capitol Hill, 1T
will go Il long ways toward correct
ing some abuses, rectifying made
quacics in pay and uprooting certain
traditions. The aim of this measure
is to put some of the methods proved
good in American business into the
Offices of corporation which handles
over 100000 a year and is re-
sponsiple for well being and safety
Ct some 100000 people. The bill
failed because of some petty ideas
last session, but is on fair way
to be approved this year.
The trouble about Capitol Hill has
been that places we'll provided for
ut one time declined in Importance,
and consequently in demands for
activity, but that pay remained sta
t.onery and even at times developed
tendencies to ascend, while jobs
which were considered of little ac-
count in other times were developed
by personality, changing conditions
or shifting of responsibility into ILL
paid positions. The State Salary
Board would have authority to ad-
just pay. Where men in State SER
vice are getting less than the pre-
Nuiling rate, the Beard may make
the salary fit the work, instead of
having men leave service of the
Commonwealth for industrial places
or remain and growl. Similarly,
chairwarmers may have to undergo
adjustments and not roost in the
thade of an act of the seventies or
eighties.
Things will never be joyous in
public service, but the Salary Board
bill would so a long ways toward
ironing out some difficulties.

the farcical.
Like good many other widely
heralded and lengthy acts of recent
years, this code has fine points and
weak spots. There does not seem to
be any way to make the county
authorities establish uniformity in
enforcement. Even where State
policemen have arrested constablcs
for not killing unlicensed dogs ac-
ton has languished. The enforce
ment seems to be more or less tenn
peramental.
r Perhaps the commissioners of the
various counties may get together on
some uniform method of shooting
the dogs that slaughter sheep, which
are once more among Pennsylvania's
assets. In some counties constables
shoot the unlicensed dogs and in
others they merely shoot at them.
