its western side was cut of long age
for a new street. The square has been
rented as a COW pasture, which was cer-
tainly not in the purpose of Penn when
he laid it out for public use. The great
sanitary fsir of 1864 was held within
its limits, Just as the Centennial Exhibi-
tion was held in Fairmount Park in 1876.
1t was not until 1912 that the mounds
on the old graves in Logan Square were
leveled so as to remove all surface
traces of its use as a cemetery.
The layman will be inclined to believe
that If the square could have been used
as cemetery and COW pasture it GER
tainly can be enlarged to make room for
boulevard connecting the City Hall
with Fairmount Park. But we must sus-
pend Judgment until the court speaks.

REFERENpuMs AND LIQUOR

THE attempt of the Ohio wet forces
= to have the date of the enforcement
Of the prohibitory constitutional amend
ment postponed on the ground that when
the secretary of state issued his procla-
nation only thirty-five states had ratified
it is not likely to accomplish much. It
is insisted that the ratification of the
Ohio Legislature was not valid until it
had been affirmed by the voters.
The amendment has been ratified by
forty-five of the forty-eight states. Sew
eral of these states, including Ohio, have
laws which require the submission to the
voters for Endorsement of all such resolu.
ticns as those ratifying constitutional
amendments. The federal constitution,
however, provides that when amendments
are ratified by the Legislatures of three
fourths of the states they shall be
valid. The point at issue is whether
the federal constitution is superior to
state laws. Few lawyers are in any
doubt about what the Supreme Court
Will say about it.

INTO SPACE!

ENMMA GOLDMAN and her associates
- made anarchy pay. They capitalized
and exploited a pretended regard for
the poor and lived fatty With the divi-
dends returned by unruly temperaments
expressed in books, pamphlets andnews-
papers.
But in Russia all temperaments are
unruly. There Miss Goldman and Berk-
man will not have the appeal of novelty.
They will have to compete with the en-
tire population. And so, when they
were ushered from the mainland of the
United States yesterday and interned
at Ellis Island to await deportation,
they faced prospect of real work for
the first time in many long years. 1t
is not surprising that these two anar
chists fought bitterly for the privilege
of remaining in the United States and
shrank in terror from the prospect of
life in country that has come about
to their point of view. Their trade is
gone.
Government bureaus rarely have A
sense of humor. But the immigration
authorities manifested fine irony when
they insisted on paying for the passage
of Miss Goldman and Berkman to So
Wet Russia and refused to depart from
their determination to deposit their
charges in the midst of anarchy and
nowhere else.

RAISING situation, lamely requests the
cardinal to "let bygones be bygones."
The humility was, of course, tempo
rary, but that it was observablesat any
time is proof of the extraordinary ma
ture of the strife. Some of the cardi-
nails victories were scored at the very
moment when the might of the German
power elsewhere was, though transient,
very terrible.
The defeats of the right present the
other and piteous side Of the picture.
Autocratic cruelty in large and petty
forms was consistently practiced in Bel
gium throughout the entire period Of
the occupation.
Unjust arrests and imprisonments pale
the eXcesses of the French revolutionary
terror. Cities destroyed, prosecutions
and tortures, the agonizing deportations
of the industrial population, hideous of
fetal crimes of every description for
ever blacken the record of the insensate
empire.
But, though outwardly MERCER in his
unending resistance might seem to have
failed, the fight for him was never hope
less. For he had hope. 1t burned a
lambent beacon when outrage and defile-
ment wrought their foulest evils.
The pastoral letters, issued on many
such occasions, throbbed with patriotic
eloquence and unshattered faith Albert
was called the king, Belgium was called
free when the tyrant's heel specifically
appeared least vulnerable.
The cardinals ringing address in Ste.
Gudule, Brussels, on the anniversary of
Belgian independence thrilled its audi
tors with its forecast of certain redemp-
tlon. The great organ poured forth the
strains of "La Brabanconne" Cheers
for freedom rang out. And few blocks
away, at the "Kommandatur," was Won
Kissing, so"called ruler of Belgium!
The usual threats of repressive meas
followed this stirring incident. But
those which were executed could not
recall the demonstration. The cardinal
had heartened his flock. No punishment
that Won Bissing could impose could pay
for the spiritual refreshment gained.
Professor Mayence, of Louvain, editor
vi tHe CdIulhdi Dook, declares Cnat the
prelate had zone thing alone in view
to do his duty"
AS the cardinal conceived it, and as it
is revealed in the products of his own
pen, this determination embodies the
whole philosophy of patriotism in its
loftiest sense and simplicity of hero
ism and zeal for justice against which
no ring of steel or might of material
weapons could prevail.

THERE are men who will disagree
= with Senator Ware when he says that
whatever political support Mayor-elect
Moore has must come from the Repub-
lican city committee.
Mr.. Moore was not supported by the
committee in the primary campaign.
He was bitterly opposed. IF the sena-
tors plans carry and the new committee
to be elected in the spring is controlled
by his friends, Mr.. Moore will find little
support there.
The senator's statement is really
threat that unless the Mayor-elect makes
deal with the city committee he will
find himself opposed by that body. And
the machine politicians chuckle when
they think of the charter provisions
which forbid city officeholders from TAX
ing an active part in party affairs. They
think that as the new Mayor cannot use
the officeholders he will be impotent, and
that a combination of outsiders, hungry
for office, can tie his hands so that he
can do nothing.
Well perhaps they can; but the new
city committee has not yet been elected.
And not even Senator Ware is certain
that when elected it will be the kind of
q committee which will do his bidding.
The voters did not do his bidding in the
mayoralty primaries. He has no guar
antee that they will do it in the spring
when the members of the committee
are to be elected.
He regretted that the victory for the
opposition was not more decisive, for he
said that under the circumstances there
would have to be another fight. We
gather from what Mr.. Moore has said
that he is ready for it and that it cannot
begin too soon to suit him. He would
prefer harmony, but he prefers repre-
sentative political organization to a
patched-up peace. And all the signs
lead to the conclusion that he will have
1T even if he has to fight for it.

DAYLIGHT SAVING

TN THE absence of federal law put
ting the clocks back an hour in the
spring, the simplest way for any COM
munity which wishes to save summer
daylight is for its business men to agree
10 start all industries an hour earlier
in the morning and stop work an hour
earlier at night.
This can be done without producing
any confusion of time among neighbor-
ing cities within the same time zone.
And it would save just as much daylight
as if we should try to fool ourselves
by setting the clocks back an hour so
that we should go to work at the same
time as usual.

That wears ilusionmcnt away,

When love within my heart was young
My idol in its shrine
! set. and tribute to it flung
Of all hopes that were mine.
But it was she
Whom I had fancied half divine
Destroyed it carelessly.
The dullness of oppressive years,
The hurt as love expires
The petulance of needless tears.
The dust of old desires
Within my shrine
Lie like the ashes of old fires
Over that dream of mine.
And in my soul sullen smart
Persists. '1is she has wrought
This desolation- in my heart
And yet. n tender thought
Stirs for she who
Has brought my fancied dream 10

May mourn an idol too.
