NINETEEN EIGHTEEN
By DIR. A CRANE

Nineteen eighteen will pass into history as one Of the peaks Of
time. No year A. Il. or B G. can compare To II IN significance To
mankind.
In il the greatest assault that national military ambition ever
made upon the world was decisiycly defeated.
The collapse of the German military machine meant more to the
world than the downfall of Napoleon, the decay of the Roman cn-
prc, or the breaking up of the Greek dominance established by
Alexander.
The triumph OF Foch was more important than the victory Of
Charles Martc.
1915 witnessed greater strides toward democracy among all ma
tious than the world has ever known.
la 1918 il was demonstrated that the German theory, shared by
most other nations, that III" United States was negligible IN "a military
sense, was destroyed for all time 10y the achievements OF the Amcri-
can armies IN France,
la 1915 the fiction that military preparedness renders u nation
inVincihle, as believed by Germany, was puucurcd.
In 1915 the power of the Turk in Europe came Ia an end, and
the dawn broke for the alien peoples long subject Ia Turkish tyranny.
In 1915 Nayagcry in warfare reached us frthest limit. On land
law Of nations was shown Ia have no restraining effect upon a great
bclligcrcnt,
In 1918 were fought the greatest battles Of the world, involving
more men aud more destructive machinery than ever before known.
In 1915 the United States Of America raised more money than
any other nation m any year Of the worlds history.
In 1918 occurred a movement of troops across 5000 miles Of
water, in numbers and success surprising any previous migration
of people.
In 1918 the federal government Of the United States assumed
more powers than had ever before been given TO it, as IT took over
the railways and telegraph lines besides regulating other forms OF
commerce.
In 1915 America abandoned lis old principle Of refraining from
any European alliance aud assumed the moral leadership of ciyuiza-
ton,
In 1915, for the first time since the foundation Of the republic,

In future histories the year 1918 will stand as the most vital dato
in the story Of the human race.

What Ireland Seeks
rFrom the Kansas CITY Star1

From the Kansas CITY start
Americans, outside of those of
Irish affiliations, have hardly COM
pretended what happened in Ire
land in the last general election.
Nothing happened in Ulster. Its
parently as determined as ever to
maintain the present relationship
with Great Britain, and to reject any
sort of home rule.
But the rest of Ireland abandoned
the old Nationalist party, that was
working for home rule, and went
Sim Fein-that is, for an independ-
ent Irish republic. This outcome
seems to have resulted from two
causes. Most important of these is
the failure of the British government
to arrive at any solution of the
home rule problem during the war.
For five years the government has
been wrestling with the matter, Of
fering compromises, but getting
nothing settled. Apparently the
Irish people got tired and. respond
ed to the invitation of the Sim Fein
aders to kick the table over.
The second cause is the sudden
wave of little notionalism that has
swept over Europe with the wreck
X
peal Qargely for war purposes) to
the principle of self-determination
Cor small peoples. Sentimentally
this wave has everything in its ia
yor. Practically it. is bound to re-
cede. For modern industrial civili-
zation has made the old separation
impossible. The nation with scant
natural resources is condemned to
economic dependence, which involves,
political dependence. 1t is at the
mercy of the tariff and other indus
trial arrangements of the amply en-
dowed powers. This is not popular
doctrine just now, but 1t is true.
Recognizing this fact one of the
wisest of the Irish leaders, Sir Hor-
ace Plunkett, makes a constructive
suggestion in the Manchester Guar
dian. A policy of repression, he
SAYS. will simply aggravate the sit
uation. The reasonable thing to do
is for Britain to make at once a
firm offer of a reasonable measure
of enlargement" Were such
a measure put forward seriously and
with clear intent to carry it
through in the face of all opposi-
tion''-Sir Horace evidently refers
here to Ulster-in his opinion the
lcommon sense of Ireland would
force an acceptance.
For autonomy within the British
Empire. such as Canada has would
enable Ireland to govern herself and
to give voice to her aspirations and
genius before the world" which.
after all, is the essential thing.

AirpldRe Stations

There is nothing fantastic or fanci-
full in the plea, made before the Legis-
lature, for a pill asking the Highway
Commission 70 designate, set aside
and maintain at convenient points
suitable sites or places for landing"
and regulating the use Of aircraft
Our skies are not yet dotted with
aerial taxis. nor does the city truck
ing threaten Immediately to solve
Washington street congestion by
keeping above it. but the airplane
is a reality and it is going to be
used with increasing effectiveness.
On this page a few days ago we
called attention to the new aerial
police of New York. and to the fact
that Philadelphia and Chicago are
interested in the New York expert
ment. Locally the airships can
choose between landing at Saugus
or illegally and uncomfortably in a
treetop And the best response a seri-
Gus suggestion for better facilities
can get Is. a cackling laugh.
without undue pessimism we can
venture the guess that unless some
one unexpectedly wakes up in this
town, Boston will be tho last big city
in the country to know an airplane
from a dodo.-Boston Record.

AN EIGHT-HOUR DAY

~ OBODY will quarrel with the
N eight-hour day. 1t has been
in successful operation in the
printing trades for many years. The
Tefegraph's composing room and
printing department were among the
first eight-hour pioneers in Harris
burg, and there never has been any
about getting out the work
or keeping business going with the
short working day the rule. But
when workmen begin to talk OF a
day they are heading for
trouble. Eight hours are not too
long for the average man to work.
The man who would work only six
hours a day, with a halliday Satur-
day, ought TO pause for a moment
and consider. Business is operated
for a profit. If there is no profit
there is no business. and a six-hour
day doesn't offer much chance either
to earn a living wage or to earn
profit on investment. The man who
would kill business would kill labor,
too, for each is dependent upon the
other.

= Schools and Legislature
[From the Pittsburgh Postl

In nothing else that this Legislature
praise than it will earn by providing
substantial increase in the pay of school
teachers, including proportionate adj
vance with increased ability. The Post
has long urged this in justice to the
men and women whose work is of first
Importance because it lays the founda-
ton of American citizenship. If the
lawmakers at Harrisburg neglect this
obligation to the teachers of Pennsyl-
vania, more than reproach will be
heaped on those responsible. On them
will fall the public Indignation when our
schools lose their value because good
teachersNquit to fill better-paying places
in other business fields.
The inducements to teach. as a spokes-
man for the Pittsburgh Board of Edu-
cation rightly declares, must be placed
on a salary plane at least even with
those offered in other fields. "If that
is not done now" Mr.. Cross continues,
"the effect of greatly lowered stand
ards will be felt in the next four or
five years, because we will have eX-
hausted any possible reserve supply of
teachers from the rural or borough
schools"
Never was the school situation in
Pittsburgh and in the State more serious
than today 1t is of more concern to
the people than any other business be-
fore the Assembly. Prompt and favor
able action by the Legislators is needed
to insure the best standard of school
system in Pennsylvania.

KEEP THE ROADS OPEN

TT IS easy to understand the in
dignation OF hunters and fisher
- men over the proposal to close
the Clark Powell Valley region to
would have the effect
of cutting it off from the use of the
public. as recreation ground.
Eventually this territory, lying as it
does very close to the State game
preserve, will become one of the best
pieces of hunting land in Central
Pennsylvania, and its creeks have
recently come back into their own
as trout streams.
The country has been cut over
and the land is of small value, ex-
cept as it is used as a water shed
by impounding companies, and hunt
ers and fishermen can do little harm
there.
Viewers should be slow to close
roads in these valleys which have
been in existence ever since the
early settler days. The public is in
no mood to have great tracts Of land
of this kind fenced off, especially
where the tract adjoins a State game
preserve which the hunters of the
Commonwealth support with their
license fees.
