mendable energy in planning
the prompt rebuilding of the club
house destroyed by fire few weeks
ago. 1t is an i'll wind that blows
nobody good, and while it is n pity
that a structure so new and so well

the rebuilding of it will furnish
work for many men during what

The determination of the club to

STATE LAW SUPREME

FUDGE KUNKEL struck mighty
Il blow for State rights and the
supremacy of State law within
the Commonwealth yesterday, in de-
Gliding that Postmaster General
Burleson has no legal authority for
upsetting the laws of Pennsylvania
in an effort to advance telephone
rates without appeal to the Public
Service Commission. AS Judge
Kunlel says. if the revenues of the
company were not sufficient to meet
its needs resort TO the commission
no doubt would have resulted in
permission to charge more for the
service. But Mr.. Burleson was not
interested so much in the welfare
OF the company as he was in forcing
his own personal authority upon 4
sovereign State of the union, OF over
turning its laws to demonstrate his
own powers and to concentrate gov
ernmental power at Washington to
an extraordinary degree by robbing
the Commonwealth of a right guar
anteed it under the Federal consti-
tuition. No such barefaced attempt
to override a constitutional guar
antce was ever made in the United
States.
Pennsylvania has a perfect right
to make its own laws, to govern its
own corporations and to enforce
them, and Judge Kunkel takes a
stand that will be supported by all
loyal Pennsylvanians when he up
holds the position of the Common
wealth in maintaining that within
the State of Pennsylvania State laws
regulating purely State matters are
supreme. Otherwise one Of the great
fundamentals under which the Com
monwealths which make up the
Union have been operating would be
overshadowed and a source of con-
slant pickering and quarreling be-
tween State and National Govern
ments would ensue.
incidentally, the way the case has
turned out is a big victory for Gov
ernor Sproul. who was the instigator
of the injunction proceedings which
were begun to test the right of Penn
sylvania to exercise its own police
powers without outside interference.

~ AVS Secretary Wilson. of the
- Department Of Labor:
~ II want to see every wage
worker own his own home"
Says the Philadelphia Public Led
ger:
Good housing plays part in
good living. just as good eating and
good clothing do"
Now, If we can place everybody in
decent homes-each in proportion to
his earning power and ability to pay
and can induce everybody to buy
his home, we shall have gone a
very long way toward stabilizing
government for all time in this
country.
The trouble is that not everybody
wants to own his own home and
that many builders are content to
stick up any kind of ramshackle
houses that will earn for them high
rentals. Both problems require edu-
cation and gislation-education to
teach the renter that his interests
lie in ownership and builders that
it is poor business to put up any but
substantial, sanitary houses; legisla-
ton TO enable the working man to
buy on easy, long-term payments
and to compel INSCRIPTIONS build
ers to erect houses that will pass
muster as real homes.

BolSheUiSm at Close Range
GFrom the Erie Dispatchl

[From the Erie Dispatchl
There are still people in the United
states-not immigrants or aliens
but citizens of good American lineage
who persist in maintaining that
the Bolshevist movement is sound
and worthy, and that Lenine and
Trotzky are doing an admirable work
and paving the way for the civiliza-
ton of the future.
mot to mention the crazy eco
nonics of Bolshevism how any one
with American ideas of decency and
humanity can take this view is GER
tainly beyond the understanding of
ordinary citizens. Here is a little
description of Russian Bolshevism
in operation, as seen by Colonel John
Ward, a radical member of the
British parliament and an executive
officer of the General Federation of
Trades Unions in England. He has
been serving with the British army
on the Omsk front.
For the love of Allah" he says,
never more talk of the glories of
revolution. I am in it here. Friend
strikes down him he thinks his foe
and finds the dead man his brother.
Princes, peasants, plutocrats, work
men, rich and poor, go down to-
gether in one welter of blood and
dirt. The Bolshevik thinks nothing
of standing 500 social revolutionists
against the wall and shooting them
down before breakfast because of
some small petty difference of opin-
ion as to whether the railways should
be national or communal. How
the gods must cry with rage that
men can be so mad. How ever any
of our labor leaders failed to grasp
the Bolshevik creed of blood and
presumed to condone the horrors
committed by this mob of fanatical
maniacs I cannot imagine. Rather
pray heaven to defend our country
from such a calamity"
Among the things he tells of see
ing was the cleaning out of an old
we'll at Ekaterinberg. There was
an occasional grand duke mixed up
with the timber. Then another poor
piece of flesh was recognized as a
grand duchess. Then another as the
foreman of q nearby iron works.
Then few workmen and work
women-all murdered, mutilated.
just to prove the love of humanity
This is one little closeup" of
the Russian regime which certain
perverted idealists insist is destined
to degenerate the world"-an eco
nomic chaos with reign of blood
thirsty cutthroats who murder for
the love of it."

chant marine policy at present. 81

finite policy now regarding this mat
ter" said he in a recent interview.

ought to see first how the situation
is going to work out"

lowed and we waited to see how the
situation is going to work out" we
could send our ships to the scrap
heap in year or two, as, in the
meantime, other nations more alive
to their opportunities would have
grabbed all of the world commerce.

How Lloyd George Keeps Fit

Few men have ever had to bear
such a heavy burden as the prime
minister has had to carry during
the last three months A general
election, a peace conference, and in
dustrial trouble-each would have
meant an epoch in the pre-war life
of a premier. How does Lloyd
George manage to keep so CHEEKY
and fit? An interesting insight on
this point is shown by the fact that
recently Mr.. Lloyd George has sew
eral times strolled into a room oc-
cupied by his staff and asked if the
girl secretaries had any amusing
novel there. He has picked up some
light literature and gone of to read
it quietly for half an hour or so
as q distraction from more serious
affairs.-The Edinburgh Scotsman.

three feet of snow on the level in
the woods about Riverhead, where
it could not drift. 1t showed two

UNSOLVED

by LieutCol. John McCrae1
Amid my books I lived the hurry

Disdaining kinship with my fellow
man;
Alike to me were human smiles and
tears,
1 cared not whittier Earth's great
life-stream ran,
Till as 1 knelt before my moldered
shrine,
God made me look into a woman's
eyes;
And I, who thought all earthly wis
dom mine.
Knew in a moment that the etern-
al skies
Were measured but in inches, to the
quest
That lay before me in that mystic
gaze.
Surely I have been errant' it is

That l should tread with men

N EMORIALS are taking the
MI form of substantial things
AVA more and more as the people
realize that the old ideals in this
respect are no longer popular. For
instance, Governor Sproul issued an
Arbor Day proclamation emphasiz-
ing the importance of planting long
lived trees as memorials of the dead
and living soldiers. This is precisely
in line with public sentiment and
ought to mean a real Arbor Day this
year.
Sentiment is also growing in favor
OF building good roads as memorials
to our war heroes and to our former
statesmen. Taxpayers in many cities
and towns have approved the per-
manent highways as a memorial
proposition and in many cases the
names of distinguished soldiers and
statesmen are being given the long
stretches of good roads.
With noble trees and real high
ways as memorials the people are
more likely to be impressed than
by the raising Of granite shafts and
bronze statues. In short, the tax
payers of the country want their
money expended in some useful way,
and Governor Sproul long ago gave
expression to the real thought of the
people when he declared in a public
statement against the alleged artis-
tic creations of sculptors and de-
signers who have no real conception
of the fitness of the memorial which
they have been commissioned to
produce.

gence to go to the bottom of things,
who are honestly attracted by the
theories being spread abroad, and
who, without realizing that they are
aimed to keep the minds of men
from consideration of the facts, see
in the theories only possible means
of value to the human race. Such
people come from all classes, and,
together with the self-seekers, add
the weight OF their influence to that
of the vicious.
Those in control Of Russia are
fully aware of the fact that if the
minds of the peoples of the world
were turned upon their actions in
stead of being centered on the theo-
ries they profess but ignore, and il
all could see that labor under their
regime has no place and no voice,
no work and no food, that democ-
racy is not part OF their plan in
effect, that the opinions of no men
or group of men are allowed to
prevail as against their own, that
their rule is by force and terror,
that right and justice do not exist,
and that life to all within their
power is a misery and a mockery,
