enthusiasm with which il was greeted
last Thursday. Despite their original
indifference as to parading and notwith-
standing their long and arduous march,
the men as a whole admitted having had
a great time. To resist the spirit of the
occasion was impossible.
Philadelphians, of course, have no wish
to impose upon the defenders of their
country who richly deserve a rest. But
it is highly probable that if the Seventy
ninth could be assembled for short
march here they would feel well repaid
for the effort
The gala attire of our principal streets

Hush me and heal me when I am very

In a flare of crimson by the frost newly

And am thirsty for the spring in the valley
As for kiss ungiven and long desired.
I know white world of snowy hills at
Boonton.
blue and white dazzling light on every

Ihe larches and hemlocks and naples sparkle,
Their ice sheathed branches tinkle in the
sharp thin breeze,
And iridescent crystals fall and crackle on
the snow crust
With the winter sun drawing cold blue
shadows from the trees.
Violet now. in veil on veil of evening,
The hills across from Cromwell grow
dreamy and far;
wood thrush is singing soft as viol
In the heart of the hollow where the
dark pools are;
The primrose has opened her pale yellow
flowers
And heaven is lighting star after star.
Places I love come back to me like music

Seems like souls of people who were

PARADES AND THEIR WARRANTY

p ESPECT and admiration triumphed so
~ completely over mere vulgar curiosity
when the keystone Division men marched
through ek city last week that PhiladeI-
phians need not hesitate to regret that
their opportunity formally to welcome
other home troops now seems slim.
The chance for parade by the old
Second Regiment, now the 108th Field
Artillery, has apparently passed. Most
of the officers are not yet in America
and, moreover, the plans for immediate
Rehabilitation of the men have already
been completed. 1t is likely that the
Seventy-ninth Division, a large part of
which is now on the ocean, will be dis
tributed in various camps, thus render
ing pageant plans difficult to execute.
This is unfortunate. The city would
delight to honor these drafted men, who
brilliantly exemplifed how land devoted
so largely to civilian interest could spring
30 efficiently to arms.
The sensitiveress of good many citi-
zens as TO their warranty in asking for
narsdes by returned soldiers seems not to
have been wholly justified. 1t is incon-
c<ivable that the Twenty-eighth Division
nid not enjoy the sincere and rapturous

TT THE object of the Mangan bill now
pending in Harrisburg is to enable the
coal retailers to cut the weight dispropor-
tionately to the cut in price, any prizes
for subt.ety in legislation should be with
held 1t is transparently obvious that
standardization of ton of coal at
200O instead of 224O pounds will enable
the coal dealer to juggle prices in his
favor.
Mrs. William B. Derr, heading the
Philadelphia branch of the National
Housewives League, calls the bill a
"gouge." So it would, of course, prove
to be if short ton of coal is to he offered
for more than that quantity is really
worth on the present price scale. Trick
cry of that sort is shallow, but for all
that it may be potent. Intrinsically, a
revision of weights or measures may be
harmless enough. 1t is the way in which
possible cXtortionists may capitalize it
that should be watched.
The coal men can justify their position
by being honest; the consumers theirs
by being vigilant. Should the bill be
passed and gouging prevail it will be so
plain that a child could comprehend it.
Therein lies the weakness of the plot
ting, if it exists.
