UNIFORM wEARERs

TO BE PROSECUTED
Wearers of parts of the army
uniform who are neither in the mil
itary service nor discharged SOL
diers are to be prosecuted.
Attention to the fact that there
has been gradually increasing
practice among discharged soldiers
to sell or give away parts of their
uniform to men who never have
seen service, has been, called to the
attention of the federal authorities
with information that men thus using
the uniform can be fined and inn
prisoned on conviction.
Authorities at Camp Dodge state
that several medicines have been
called to their attention already.
In one case a man wearing a dirty
army overcoat minus buttons, was
seen sitting ashes. Another case
of a fruit peddler with a push cart
on the street wearing a part of the
uniform has been cited.
In both these cases the wearers
were not discharged soldiers or in
any way entitled to the use of the
uniform.
The federal statutes state clearly
that any military equipment fur
nished by the United States to any
soldier shall not be sold or given
away" Ind that "whosover shall
receive such property may be pun
ished by fine of not more than
$500 or six months Imprisonment
or both"
The practice, it is said, interferes
with the discipline of men still in
the service and detracts from the
reverence with which all soldiers
were taught to hold the uniform.

CAMDEN GOES A-TRoLLEylNo

TT WAS sadder and wiser trolley cor
poration that established its service on
new basis in Camden today and began
the difficult task of woong back a vast
patronage flung over to the railway lines
and jitney busses few weeks ago with
a proud gesture that said zone fares or
nothing.
The foolishness, impracticability and
general injustice of the zone-fare scheme
were discuss ed for the first time in these
columns. The people were advised to
fight. The trolley company lost, as it
had to lose, and it is starting anew.
The people of Camden will be wise,
therefore, to remember that grudges
never did anybody any good For the
time at least bygones ought to be by
cones.
The street-car company appears now
to be making a sincere effort to put upon
an acceptable basis. a service that the
city cannot do without. The new fare
system is essentially reasonable and it
meets virtually all the demands made
on behalf of the general public The
trolley people have at least found that
they cannot get along without the CO.
operation of the riding public and they
have made their confession in print. The
public, likewise, has reason to know that
railways and jitneys cannot meet the
needs of the city for safe and efficient
passenger transport service nor provide
the stimulus which good street RAILWAYS
bring to the business life of any COM
munity. Camden will be wise to give
its trolleys another trial even if, in the
meantime, it keeps one alert eye on the
street-car company and another on the
Public Utilities Commission.

THE tIlCCINSON INHERITANCE

THE debt which music in America owes
L to the late Major Henry L. Higginson
is incalculabe. He gave a fortune to
foster both the art and appreciation of it,
but the esthetic and spiritualizing forces
which he thereby set in motion cannot
be measured in terms of money. Major
Higginson with his bounty, Theodore
Thomas with his genius and enthusiasm
were architects of the now refining
structure of American musical taste.
The misfortunes of the Boston Sym
phony at the outbreak of the war pro-
foundly shocked its idealistc patron.
Karl Muck was but a temporary stain.
He could not overturn Major Higginson's
monument, reared not only in Boston but
in Philadelphia, New York, Chicago,
Cincinnati, Detroit San Francisco-in
every large city which developed noble
orchestra.
Philadelphia is justly proud of its fine
organization. The men who have made
it are among the inheritors of the Hig-
gnson inspiration. How invigoratingly
different it all was from the testamentary
munificence of the "my-name-on-every
brick" variety!

THE MINORITY LEADERSHIP

WASHINGTON gossips are speculat-
w ing about who is to succeed the late
Thomas S. Martin, of Virginia, as the
Democratic leader of the Senate. Three
men are mentioned as in the running
They are Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska;
Senator Simmons, of North Carolina and
Senator Underwood, of Alabama.
Senator Hitchcock has been temporary
leader during the illness of Senator Mar
tin. 1t must be admitted that he has not
been brilliantly successful. Aside from
the questions of temperament and ability,
it is said that the majority of the Demo-
cratic senator's, who represent southern
states, do not like to follow the lead of a
northern Democrat. We do not know
how much truth there is in this view, but
we are inclined to the opinion that if
Senator Hitchcock had manifested COM
manding abilities the southern as we'll
as the northern Democratic senators
would have been willing to follow him.
Both Simmons and Underwood are
much ADLER men than Hitchcock. Under
wood has had experience as the leader
of the House. He is a skilled parlia-
mentarian and he has a broad knowledge
of public questions Simmons is doubt
less as able as Underwood. If either, of
these men were chosen to succeed the late
Senator Martin the minority would be in
good hands.
The choice of leader is not matter
in which the Democrats of the Senate
alone are concerned. The whole country
is interested, because it is important that
the opposition shall be able to oppose in
telligently and well if the Republican
majority is to be held up to the best
traditions of the party.

EXPLAINING JAY-cRosSERS

A NYBODY with half an eye can see
1 L that since Mr.. Mitten and Captain
Mills and the business associations began
to tell of the perils of crossing street
at the middle of a block the number of
jay-crossers has actually tended to in
crease. They will get over the habit, of
course, and in time all absent minded
folk will learn to follow safe routes from
pavement to pavement. Meanwhile it is
clear that lot of people who usually
crossed at crossings are trying the more
dangerous method. They want to see
how it feels
The moral in this instance is simple.
II you want thing done, prohibit it.
Tell how awful the consequences are sure
to be. Life is an experiment. A great
many people who ordinarily follow
ordered ways of life actually ache at
times for the pang of dangerous adven-
ture. That is why the police always have
to fight crowds back from big fires.
Crowds have great curiosity about
forbidden things. Yet it would not have
been wise to beseech them not to cross
at crossings. They would have tried the
opposite way for little while and, when
they decided for themselves, would have
returned to the rational method-as thew
always do in the end

fnements of mind and spirit. We take
them for granted.
NO proof is necessary to convince us
that the colleges should be equipped to
train young men and young women, not
to become money makers primarily, but
to have an appreciation and understand
ing of those things without which the
life of a nation becomes sordid and barren
of the finer things.
The work of the churches is its own
vndication and we know that it cannot
be carried on without money. That is

And music, which has the power to
draw a man out of himself and transport

refining influences to which one can be
