LUNATICS AT LARGE

DEBS in his cell, Haywood and Near
- ing happily at large and all other
propagandists of hatred and delusion
were permitted to view the inevitable
reactions of their doctrines yesterday
when seventeen Internal machines, ad-
dressed to men whose prominence in
affairs offended minds obviously de-
ranged, were found in the New York
Postoffice.
To encourage the malcvolence of a mad
dog in isolated groups of men, to send
towards and sreakS out to do murder, to
make the illiterate and the base a little
more stupid and little more detestablc
these are the methods of your up-to
preachers of unrest who are the cause
of bitterness and despair in all men who
have tie Interest of the country and all
its people sincerely at heart.
- An opponent stopped in the course of
an admirable argument against the pro-
posed sedition bill at Harrisburg to sug
gest that bombs found in this city not
long ago were placed by disgruntled de-
tectives out of jobs. This is unsound
reasoning. The bombs were placed by
idiots made dangerous with Exaggerated
notions of their wrongs.
Governor Sproul, Mayor Hylan and all
the other men for whom yesterdays
bombs were made cannot be charged in
the slightest degree with any offense that
would warrant this sort of attack.
1t will not do to befoul Legislation in
America with ideas borrowed from Rus
sia and Germany 20 deal with handful
of lunatics. But if !! W S. oud be pro-
posed to blow up every bomb assassin in
the country with his own machines there
would be no objection anywhere.

BANDS

PANDS that make the windows rattle
- with military music are everywhere
in the streets these days. Soldiers and
sailors play with quickened tempo, a
sharpened and truer rhythm. No paci-
fist, though he be ever so earnest phi
losopher and humanitarian, can remain
quite himself as they go by and fill the
air with the music of glory and defiance.
Twenty yelling trombones can drown the
voice of reason with wild call to action
and aggression.
Even after war is outlawed and when
the world is at peace, good brass band
will always bring curious urge and a
troubling remembrance of flying ban
ners and polished steel, of rumbling lor-
ries and victorious guns and the lines Of
men who through all the years have
marched to the heights from which the
songs OF triumph have descended.
Must we reform music, too, before war
is done with?

JIMMY

THEY used to say that Jimmy couldn't
get away with it-that the thing was
too wonderful to believe. There were
times when Jimmy himself must have
felt that he was lost in an effulgent
dream. But he stands today a reality,
with about 100000 in fees safely in his
pocket, darling of the fates, cnvied by
al. the pop-eyed politicos within radius
of thousand miles, facing a life of
limousines and cushioned ease, while the
bill that will limit every future Register
of Wills to his $4,000 salary moves along
on creased ways at Harrisburg. Jimmy
is not bad sort as they go. If some
body had to grow suddenly and unbe-
lievably rich at the expense of the COM
munity it might as well be he.
But this child of fortune ought not to
spend all the money in easy living. He
should spare enough to buy himself
medal, gorgeous medal with ribbons
on it. Then some bright and sunny day
there should be a great assemblage on
Broad street south of City Hall. There
should be bands and silk-hatted commit
tees and loud speeding, and at the right
moment Jimmy should advance into the
: focus of the moving picture cameras and
proudly bestow this medal on himself
The inscription should be simple and di-
rect, and it might run thus:
presented to Jimmy Sheehan, politi-
clan and philosopher, by himself, in
recognition of his fortitude and gallantry
in insisting, against the combined opin-
ion Of the world, that good thing can
never be bad"

Some one in sadness turns to pray.
Recedes the awful battle wrath
Before the glory and acclaim

Along the corridors of fame:
Yet one who kept the torch ablaze.
In poppy fields far distant sleeps
Now some one walks the lonely ways
And, broken hearted, softly weeps.
Yet through the heavy clouds of gloom

Whose joys seem buried in tomb
Enshrined on some embattled knoll.

For just beyond the Stygian stream

Well walk the cleaning hillside and We'll

And bask within the sunlight till the jolly

Come, pal. we'll go abroad today, to note

The maids perambuating with policemen on
the string:
The peanut venders opened up with fresh
display of wares;
And advertisements telling of the nearer
county fairs.
Wen gaze upon the baseball scores that filter
from the South,
And tread the grassy woodland which the
