PARENTS CAN DO IT

d: DOCTOR CARRIER is appealing to the
~ public school pupils to make the cele-
bration of the Fourth of July safe and
sane.
The boys and girls, however, would re-
spond more quickly if the appeal came
from their parents, not in the form of a
request, but in the form of a command.
If the parents of the children want a
safe and sane Fourth they can have it
by refusing to buy dangerous fireworks
and by forbidding their children to buy
them, and by keeping their children from
places frequented BY irresponsible hood
lums, who will fire off pistols ard throw
firecrackers under horses and at pass
ing automobiles in spite Of all that the
police can do.
There are many parents who take this
course, for they are more anxious to pro-
tect the lives of their children than to
crafty the youthful desire to make
noise. 1t is up to the parents. They can
have pretty much the kind of a Fourth
that they wish.

can symbolic. The bitter cup Of reali-
zation is at her lips. She must drink.
Civilization can comprehend the tan
trum without undue alarm. The con-
demned criminal is up for punishment.
Justice is powerful enough to administer
it and will do so.
The prelude to the treaty signing re-
veals Germany in the most contemplate
of all her roles. Her disgusting frenzy
should arm every element Of decency in
the world to support the scrupulous exc
cuton of the treaty obligations at what
ever cost.
The most heartening feature of the
situation is its exposure of the folly Of
mawkish sentimentalism. Germany, who
hoped to gain by it. has impaired what
ever specious vitality it possessed.

) THE LAST QUESTIONABLE

TT is entirely proper that Philadeiphia's
pride in her service men should be sus-
tanned by an assembly of authentic rec
ords. Mayor Smiths proclamation urg-
ing the Council of National Defense and
the city authorities to obtain the statis-
tics concerning our soldiers, sailors and
marines in the war suggests the most
systematic way of handling the subject.
(. The questionable habit has been reck-
lessly practiced Here is an instance,
however, when its application will be
legitimate. The characteristic modesty
of the average American fighting man is
a fine thing But corporate unit like a
city is entitled to accurate information
concerning the way it's sons have hon
6red it.
Sixty-five thousand Philadeiphians
fought for liberty in the universal con-
flict. The exultation of the municipality
over their achievements is natural. 1t is
to be hoped that considerate attention
! will be given to the last questionnaire.
1t winds up superb chapter in the city
! history.

BERLIN'S BELATED TANTRUMS

GERMAN wrath and indignant dismay
~ concerning the treaty is characteris-
tically belated. Were the practice of the
disastrous art of self-deception not
chronic in the empire of paranoiac ex-
hibit might have followed the signing of
i the armistice. But as the Teutonic ma
tion deluded itself concerning the war
when it was in progress, so was reliance
placed upon extravagant fancies during
the negotiation period.
There is an abundance of evidence that
the Huns considered themselves unde-
feated. The hope of tricking The Allies
4 nourished the vanquished in spite of
facts. These were, as ever, disdainfully
rejected.
But the comfort in establishment has
passed away at last. More than one in
terpretation of the meaning of the pres
!. ent fateful hour is impossible. Germany
Is beaten and disgraced. A sane nation
would have realized that fact in Novem-
Der, 1918. But then sane nation would
never have challenged the whole world.
Her ire today, expressed in the treach-
erous ship scuttling, in the burning of
the French war trophies which the treaty
4 had ordered returned, and in the yellow
j. hedging over the appointment of Ver-
sailles signatories. is bltterer than any
orgy q destruetiysness and dishonesty

sPRoUL. AND THE MUELLER

GOVERNOR SPROUL has made the
~ first big mistake in his administra-
tion.
1t was to force through the vicious and
dangerous so-called "anti-sedition' bill.
He was able to put it across the speak
er's desk in the House only by the utmost
use of whip and spur.
All his gubernatorial power of appoint
ment, protection and favor was brought
into play, even to the extent of sending
his private secretary on the floor of the
House as lobbyist after the measure
had been decisively defeated. With the
aid of county leaders the Governor
scared up enough votes on reconsdera-
ton of the bill to squeeze it through At
that he had only three votes to spare. He
is welcome to whatever prestige he
thinks such maneuvering brings him.
But it is disappointing.
By this wide departure from the course
of dignity and poise Governor Sproul be-
comes a pledge breaker. He breaks SOL
emn pledges voluntarily made to the peo-
pie of the commonwealth in his praise
worthy inaugural address last January.
Declaring that his long service in the
Legislature made him thoroughly appre-
ciative and respectful of the dividing line
between the executive and Legislative
offices, he said:
ut is the duty of the Governor to
recommend such measures as he may
deem necessary or important.
But it was never intended that the politi-
cal power of the executive should be used
to control legislation or to influence or
dominate political action"
Has he forgotten those words already? ?
Is he finding out that he must play the
game like all the gubernatorial failures
that have gone before him?
We thought the Governor was more
courageous than appears, from his evil
| u6TL GTeIllOlS oNCl "lidI ltC diih a lC" Ddu
advisers around him call the Red menace
This hysterical sedition bill shows that
he has lost his nerve.
"The present bill is not intended in the
slightest to curtal the liberty of the
legitimate press glibly explains one of
the Governors spokesman.
What rot! What has intention got to
do with it when nowhere in the bill is to
be found the least qualifying phrase act
ing as restraint upon any mossgrowr
mind on the bench that quails before
every new idea in the world and would
glory in interpreting such law in the
most inclusive terms?
Suppose, for example, it came before
such Judge as the late Samuel W. Pen.
nypacker, with his medieval ideas or
muzzling the press? How would ht
apply the loose and vague phraseology Of
the act?
Moreover, what assurance can Gov
ernor Sproul give concerning the inter
pretations of this act after he is gone
from office? Then how silly it is to tall
about "intentions," especially when there
is nothing in the act to express them.
In the language of the sporting field
our revered Governor has pulled bone
which has materially reduced the odds il
favor of his leaving the office-perhapl
for higher one-with satisfactory ant
frst-class record before the people. T,
become convinced of this fact he nee,
only wait until the public is fully awak

Notes on Mems Wear


A correspondent sends us the following
clipping from the Manchester (Englandl
Guardian:
1t was noted at the Derby that some
dignitaries on the grand stand were wear
ing silk hats of new type. The pre-war
topper curved outwards slightly like an
inverted bell. The toppers at the Derby
we're rather higher in the crown and were
slightly tapering. There is a rumor that
this is to be the fashionable hat for peace.
Our correspondent says, in just indigna
ton:

revolutionary days. II understand the

served that 1t is worn by all the young profit
gates on the screen, and in great many
cigarette ads.
Those who have denied that there is any
thing sinister about white vest margins will
kindly heed that fact that (if we may trust
a photo in much respected Sunday paper
one of the recently deposed German peace
envoys to Versailles wore this illicit adorn
ment.

1t is said that the seals that the Chinese

There are also other portions of the treaty
adorned with figures, including some long
rows of ciphers. which strike the Germans as
so far from quaint as to be positively un-
seemly.
