NEWARK MAN WRITES
 FROM PARIS ISLAND

Editor Journal.-Please give me just little corner, as 1 would like to drop my many friends in and around Newark a few lines.
 1 am a marine soldier at Paris Island, s. C. 1 enlisted in March IT, 1918, and was sent here, where l took two months training. Instead of sending me across to France, they kept me here and assigned me to job as deck hand on a passenger boat. 1 worked at that about six weeks and went from there to the wheel (pilot) and have been at that job for some time.
 So you see that 1 don't know so much about the war. 1 have a brother over there that hope will get back to tell us boys that didn't get to go, something about war, and we can tell them something about work, for we surely know.
 I feel safe in saying that out of the 30 thousand men we have here Cor have had) that there was not a dozen who did n't want to go across. But the war is now over and there is many happy boy returning home.
 Don't know just when I will get out myself, but don't think it can be so very long. l have the pleasure of reading The Journal each Monday, and want to thank my uncle, El- mer Mayhan, many times for it.
 We'll, l have told you all  about myself, and my work, so about the weather. The wea- ther is certainly fine. Never gets very cold. We had ice only one night this winter. We have lots of good heavy cloth es, and have no use for them. It rains lots here, but is usually warm, and the heavy rains never bother here; never caus- es any overflows. All the ov- erflows we have is the tide which comes every 12 hours. It is like the moon; it is lit- tie later each day. Full moon we have full tides. It comes up six hours and goes down six hours, so you see we have

OSCAR HAMMERSTElN

II HAMMERSTElN was a genius. He
got money, vast quantities of money,
by humoring the tired business man Of
Broadway, through royalties on his in
ventlons, in real estate speculations and
in divers other grubby ways. And he
used it all to take millions of people with
him on magnificent voyages of discovery
to new worlds of poetry and music.
In every college, in every business in
stitution there ought to be one uncon-
ventional and exploring mind, disdainful
of rules and precedents. Hammerstein
was such a man in the realm of opera.
He quickened musical appreciation in
America, and millions of people had to
thank him for first introduction to the
rich literature of the operate stage. In
this city there are countless men and
women who, remembering the glamourous
adventure at Broad and Poplar streets,
will feel sense of loss and personal
grief at the passing of the little man
in the odd silk hat whom nobody was ever
able fully to understand.

THE REAL ISSUE

INhERE are signs, omens. portents that
the authorities in Washington are
inclining toward familiar species of
compromise to meet the demands of the
railway workers who have gone on strike
for more pay to meet the high cost Of
living.
This would take the form of granting
a substantial increase in wages.
RecolIections of President Wilson'S ac-
quescence in the matter of the Adamson
law during the presidential campaign of
1916 come vividly to mind.
More pay would be very fine for the
railway men. 1t might temporarily dis
pose of a politically dangerous situation.
These brotherhoods represent much COM
pact voting strength.
But it would not satisfactorily solve
the situation for millions of other work
ers who cannot so readily bring pressure
to bear on the government. On the con-
trary, it would merely increase the cost
Of living for them in the well-understood
working of the vicious circle.
Neither the President nor Congress
nor the Democratic or Republican leaders
can dodge the issue so easily.
The only relief must come from a re-
duction of the prices for food and other
necessities of life, and truly courageous
officials in the administration and Con-
gress will bend their efforts toward find
ing a way to this end.

dom and perfect equality in production
and consumption and offering combined
resistance to all existing forms of social
order. And the fourth would have all
social order of whatever kind destroyed
by fair means or foul, without regard to
what was to take its place. The bomb
throwers hold this theory.
Every theorist admits that the ideal
government would be government which
did not govern at all because the people
under it lived in perfect order and har-
mony. Such government would be
anarchistic. Thomas Jefferson said that
that government is the best which gov
erns the least, which, carried to its logi-
cal conclusion, means that that govern
ment which does not govern at all would
be better than government which gov
erns. This would also be anarchistic.
1t is evident that the jury which must
decide whether Henry Ford was libeled
when he was called an anarchist has
most perplexing question to answer.

WHAT is AN ANARCHIST?

IENRY FORD thinks that when the
- Chicago Tribune called him an anar-
chist it injured him to the extent of
81 100000. His own idea of an anarchist
il an opponent of government who throws
bombs. His attorneys have put on the
stand number of experts to prove that
many worthy men from Plato to modern
Christian clergymen have held views
similar to those which he has expressed
Each expert has a definition of ANARCHY
of his own.
The Interpretation by the United States
courts of the term anarchist in the immi-
grafton laws has not yet been cited in
the courtroom, but it might be interesting
to the judge and the jury. A few years
ago an English anarchist came to this
country to lecture on his creed. His right
: to enter was disputed. He hired lawyer
and it was pleaded in his defense that he
was what is known as an academic anar-
chist, that he did not believe in violence
Of any kind, but was convinced that we
had too much government The courts,
however, ordered his deportation, as the
evidence showed that he believed in

The word anarchy means merely alb
sence Of government, as monarchy means
government by single ruler. There
are at least four different applications of
the anarchistic theory to practical affairs.
One would have community in which
there is absolute freedom of the indi-
vidual in thought as well as in social ac.
flvity. Another, elaborated by Proudhon
French workingman, provides for a
social system in which the individual is

{ ZONE FARES IN JERSEY

IF A zone system of street railway fares
= were to be established in Philadelphia
on basis similar to that which has just
been approved by the Public Utilities
Commission in New Jersey most Of those
who rely upon the P. R. T. would have
to pay nine cents for their usual ride to
or from work. A trip in a trolley from
Market street to the city line at Oak
Lane, say, would cost seventeen cents if
itwere paid for at the rate Of three cents
for the first mile and two cents for each
additional mile-the toll which trolley
conductors in New Jersey will collect
after September IA unless the decree of
the utilities commission is changed under
pressure in the meantime. The fare from
the Sixty-ninth street elevated terminal
to City Hall would be eleven cents. 1t is
not strange that the people in New Jersey
are organizing for a fight to finish.
Yet it is by some such system of zone
fares as that now proposed that painful
process of readjustment must begin to
equalize the general burden of trolley
, upkeep. The fare rates announced in
New Jersey seem grotesquely excessive,
but the principle involved is declared
sound by those who have been making
impartial studies of the whole question
OF street railway transportation. Un-
questionably the Short rider" who pays
flat fve-cent fare to be transported
over few squares, has been sharing
some of the cost of the eight or ten mile
ride which the suburbanite enjoys for the
same sum. The P. r. T., like all other
street railway corporations operating in
large cities, carries a vast number of
"short riders" 1t has not to contend
with difficulties of the sort encountered
by the suburban lines in New Jersey
Suburban communities will suffer most
by the new zone rate wherever it is
applied. In Camden, for example, those
who will benefit by the new rate are few.
The great majority of trolley riders
travel for three or four miles and thus
will have to pay seven or nine cent
fares. The rule made by the Public Utili-
ties Commission represents a general in
crease over the seven-cent rate now being
charged. That rate was regarded as ex-
cessive. A general outburst of complaint
is expected because of the new schedule,
and it will be justified.

ance by his department in the case Of
banks accidentally in minor troubles that
can best be adjusted in privacy for the
protection of stockholders and depositors.
The North Penn Bank was not an acci-
dental wreck. 1t was criminally plum
dered, raided with deliberation, looted by
men who knew they were looting it be-
yond all hope of rehabilitation. Secrecy
cannot help the depositors now and it
cannot help the bank. Nor can pro-
longed investigation, paid for out of the
remaining assets of the institution, seem
other than a futile and perverse and
foolish waste of time and money. 1t
would be as logical to investigate a mur-
der when the victim is in plain sight,
with the man who did the killing pocket
ing a smoking pistol.
There are few Meyers in the banking
business, fewer Strangs. The banks in
Pennsylvania have a magnificent record
of stability and conservative manage
ment 1t is for this reason that financial
institutions of all sorts should have a
peculiar interest in the affair of the
North Penn Bank. The sort of hesitant
quibbling that has characterized the in
vestigation up to now isn't the sort Of
thing that will increase popular faith in
the State Department of Banking. Nor
will it encourage those who are poor or
the uninformed in the banking habit. 1t
will not be easy to convince a man who
was jobbed by the management of the
North Penn Bank that bank is in real
ity the safest place in the world for his

INTERPRETATIONS

NHE protocol to the peace treaty which
the President sent to the Senate con-
sts of interpretations for the benefit of
ermany.
Germany wished to understand defin-
ely what certain provisions meant, and
he peace commissioners told it in a sepa-
ate document.
If they could tell Germany the meaning
OF certain sections there does not seem
to be any reason why the United States
Senate cannot tell the other parties to
the treaty what in its opinion certain
other sections mean, so long as it does
not propose to change the meaning of the
sections.
