No More FlODerS For Heine

eFrom the Continental Edition of
the London Mail1
One wonders who were the per-
sons who before the war daily left
their visiting cards on the tomb of
the poet Heinrich Heine? And what
can have become of them? Are
they perhaps in concentration
camps? At all events, the tomb
knows them no more. No sign of
friendly visits is to-day to be seen
on the beautiful white marble mon
ument in the Montmartre Cemetery
in Paris. It is noticeable that no word
of French appears on this tomb,
though the stone is covered with
deep cut quotations from the poets
works in their original German.
Neglected, too, but not wholly for
gotten, is the tomb of La Dame aux
Cam elias" whose real name was AL
phonsine Plessis. A few sprays of
lilies of the valley are dying in a
jar beneath the wreath OF porcelain
camellias that marks the stone.
Formerly a woman went there every
day in the year to brush and tend
this tomb. 1t is many months now
since she was last seen to pass
through the gate, and the monument
to the heroine of the younger Dumas
will soon be covered with moss and
mold

Wilson Made Mistdke-Bryan

Before a large audience at Wash
ington. d. c., William ]. Bryan,
former Secretary of State, expressed
the belief that President Wilson's
recommendation for the repeal of
the wartime prohibition act so far
as it related to beer and wines was
a mistake. He opined the Presi-
dent would not have taken this step
had he been in this country and in
closer touch with conditions.
Mr.. Bryan has evidently not read
what President Wilson said before
his first departure for Europe six
months ago. The President said:
''I shall be in close touch with you
and with affairs on this side of the
water and you will know all that I
do. I shall mot be inaccessible. The
cables and the wireless will render
me available for any counsel or SER
vice you may desiresof me. and I
shall be happy in the thought that
am constantly in touch with the
weighty matters of domestic policy
with which we have to deal"

Party and expect all men or even a
majority of men to join 1t. The place
of women voters in the political life
of the State or nation is on the side
of right and justice, wherever that
may be found, and not within the
narrow confines of "Woman's
Party" which will get nowhere and
will serve no good purpose.
Nor will the voting privilege ex-
tended to women work any imme-
diate great reforms. 1t has not in the
States that have given women the
right of suffrage and it is not likely
to do so in Pennsylvania. 1t is right
and proper that women should vote,
if they so desire, and it appears that
they do. but the influence of their
participation in elections will be
felt more as the years go by than
at once. In the long run universal
suffrage is bound to be beneficial.
because in the first place it is a
matter of justice and secondly it is
sound democracy.

These questions already are oc-

return of the victorious troops war
memorials are being prepared on a
scale not approached within the last
fifty years. The national commits

to direct this movement. so that the
result may be credit to American
taste and skill, especially in this

feeling naturally will be manifested.

annual convention of the American
Federation of Arts at that time he
said: p
The magnitude of the present

the United States will necessarily

THE SUFFRAGE VICTORY

vr1HAT Mr.. Dooley forecasted
Nv for the United States has
happened in Pennsylvania.
Said he, Wilma sufficient number of
wimin whant to vote, why they'll
find a way to vote, and the divil
himsHf won't stop Thin"
sufficient number of women in
Pennsylvania demonstrated to the
Legislature that they desired the
voting privilege, and they have re-
ceived it; or rather, they will, when
it becomes apparent that a majority
of the women of other States also
desire the privilege, through the
ratification of the suffrage amend
ment by two-thirds of the Legisla-
lures.
The suffrage sentiment has been
developing in Pennsylvania for a long
period. With the exception of pro-
hibition it has been discussed more
thoroughly and has been the subject
of more controversy than any other
reform in. the history of the Com
monwealth. Its enactment is the re-
suit, therefore, of the sober judgment
of the voters of the State through
their accredited representatives Gov
ernor Sproul saw clearly the trend
of opinion when in declarations pre-
vious to his election, and afterward
in his inaugural address, he pledged
the movement his support The ac-
ton of the Legislature yesterday was
not unexpected, but nevertheless the
suffragists were justly entitled to
the celebration in which they in
dulged.
The factional split in the suffrage
ranks is an indication as to what
may follow an attempt to organize a
a Woman's Party in Pennsylvania.

ganization in this or any other

THE GOVERNOR is RIGHT

~ OVERNOR SPROUL has taken
an unassailable position with
~ respect to the Ramsey bill, the
provisions of which are to permit
the marketing of beers in Pennsyl-
vania that in alcohol content would
defeat the purpose of the national
prohibition amendment.
In the first place, such bill, if en-
forced, would render imperative to a
considerable degree the "bone-dry'
provisions which were in the minds
of the people when prohibition was
enacted. 1t would break both the
spirit and the letter of the Federal
mandate.
But there are other reasons why
there should be no more liquor leg
islation at this session. The prohibi-
ton decree is national in it's scope
and no State should attempt to set
up laws until it is known what Con-
gress will do with respect to the
limitation of alcoholic content, pen
alties for violation, etc. After that
the Federal laws may be supplement-
ed by State statutes framed in ac-
cord with national provisions and
carefully constructed so as to avoid
technical disputes as to Jurisdiction,
legal requirements and the like. State
laws should be designed merely to
strengthen the hand of the Federal
authorities and any attempt to regu-
late the sale of drinks containing al
cohol, in advance of Congressional
action, would be not only futile, but
confusing. and that is precisely the
intent of the Ramsey bill which the
Governor has determined to veto.
In this respect it is gratifying to
note that Senator Frank A. Smith,
of this county, was among those who
cast their votes against the measl. re.

at would be better if no memo
rials were erected until fifteen years
after the close of the war" said
Mr.. Moore. "By that time the Ma
ton will have begun to get a per-
spective of the war and history will
have passed unbiased judgment on
the men who took part in it.
THE Washington Monument,
most impressive of all our memorial
structures, was not completed until
the first President had been dead
more than seventy-five years. The
great Lincoln memorial is not vet
finished and Lincoln has been in his
grave more than half century. The
same is true in the case of John
Paul Jones, Admiral Barry and
others.
mo statue or other memorial
should be erected in Washington
unless it is a distinct contribution
to the adornment of the city. Memo
rials on public grounds should be
erected confined to persons who
have rendered conspicuous service
to the Nation, and a permanent
board of historians should pass up
on qualifications for sculptural inn
m ortality."
Fountains, Bridges. Gates, Better
Not only the Fine Arts Commits
sion, but other organizations of ar
lists in New York Chicago and else
where are using their best efforts
to dissuade public commissions and
patriotic individuals from putting up
bronze or marble statues and to
erect instead, memorial fountain,
buildings, bridges, fiagstaffs, gate
wavs or tablets.
Because of the temperate climate
artists agree that fountains make
particularly appropriate memorials
in Washington. and several notable
examples of this are already in evil
dence. The chief drawback is that
scarcity of water results in their
being turned off much of the time,
but this may be remedied by INSTALL
ing motor driven pumps to keep
the water circulating. as has been
done in front of the Union Station.
The cost of this according to Mr..
Moore. is negligible.
LET us hope that whatever Is
done, the distressing circumstances
attending the erection of the Wash
ington Monument may not be re-
peated." concluded Mr.. Moore. For
years the half completed monument
was an eyesore and a reproach and
the name of the father of his coun-
try became Jest.
"To guide those looking for the
hest in historical art an exhibit of
the great monum ents. from the days
of ancient Greece until the present,
has been arranged in the Congress
sional Library. and suggestions for
memorials fitting for the expendi-
ture and site available may he had
from the most competent artists in
America"

Condemning Useless Noises

IFrom the Scranton Republican.
Harrisburg has begun a campaign
similar to those conducted in Scran-
ten from time to time, aimed at
unnecessary and annoying noises
which become common in all cities
where systematic effort is not made
to suppress them.
Whistles and gongs sometimes
awake the echoes when it is not
necessary to blow them at all. Street
venders cry their wares in stem
torian tones. Small boys make the
day and the early evening hideous
with boisterous shouting while at
play. Screaming sirens. shrieking
locom otives and the open cut-outs
of automobiles also come in for
condemnation.
All leading cities now have regu-
lations covering such matters, but
difficulty is experienced in enforcing
them. In particular, the violation
of the anti cut-out ordinance is al
most universal.
Citizens will bear patiently with
noises that are necessary and un-
avoidable. Other kinds of noises
can be minimized by determined ac-
ton by the authorities. In the case
of Harrisburg 1t is the Rotary Club
which has decreed that the useless
noises must go.

COMMUNITY SERVICE

THE WAR Camp Community
Service is doirg quiet but eff
fective work in this city, arous-
ing the interest of citizens and
groups of citizens in each other and
in the activities of the municipality.
For Illustration, there is the colored
chorus of 1000 voices which will
sing at Island Park Thursday even
ing for the benefit of the public. The
negro voice lends itself to chorus
work in a most effective way. 1t is
far richer in tone than the singing
voice of any other race and in the
rendition of the classic airs and
songs of the old South, as the pro-
gram for the community sing" pro-
vides. it will be heard to rare ad-
vantage Thursday evering.
But, merit aside, it is well worth
while to bring a thousand people
together at any time to act in unison.
Many new acquaintances are thus
formed, mountaineering begets
friendship and friendship promotes
trust in ones fellows and happiness,
and these twain in turn make for
better citizenship. Community spirit
thus aroused is back of every local
improvement in living conditions.
Community spirit is only another
name for patriotism. We have not
given the War Camp Community
Service the credit it deserves. At
great effort and expense it is de-
veloping in Harrisburg an intangible
something that in years to come will
be of inestimable value in the growth
and development of the city.

FALSE PREMISES

"HE recent speech of Senator
Walsh, of Montana, in support
of the League of Nations, de-
votes considerable space to the fact
that the United States guarantees
to protect Panama, and thereby the
Canal Zone, and that is cited as a
precedent for the guarantee of this
country, under the League of Ma
tions, to protect all other countries;
while Senator Williams, of Missis-
frage being extended to colored
women, but who champions the
league covenant, which would permit
colored and backward nations to
fecting our sovereignty, calls atten-
ton to our guarantee of Cuban in
dependence, and cites that as a
precedent.
from false premises There is wide
distinction between these two in
stances and the league proposal.
The United States delegated neither
to Panama nor to Cuba the right
to decide what action we should
take in protecting them, nor the
right to declare war for the United
States. We adhered to the right to
decide those matters for ourselves.
Under the League of Nations an at
tempt is made to wrest from us that
right by inducing us to delegate to
the league all power of decisions
with respect to territorial guaran-
tees and our actions Hereunder.

Cuba were the logical outgrowths OF

Seas must be for this country a
dream which never can return. But
between this Republic of North
America and the republics of South
America we can and must maintain
supremacy over all other sea pow
ers. Chairman Hurley has his mind
fixed on this great and necessary
project. There is no question that
with the proper government backing
he can put our South American fleet
