THE RAILROADS, TOO

DUBLIC sentiment for daylight
saving" as expressed through
ordinances passed by the gov
erning bodies of New York, Balti-
more, Philadelphia, Harrisburg and
other important cities of the east,
has brought the railroads to the
point of adopting passenger schedules
to conform. More than 800 COM
munities in New Jersey have gone
on record as favoring the plan and
bill is to be presented in the
Legislature to make the change of
time statewide. Practically every
city and town in Pennsylvania has
expressed preference for the day
light-saving' schedule and the rail-
roads will be comforting a great
favor upon the public by complying
with popular desire in this respect.
It becomes more and more evident
that the people of the cities and
towns do not mean to be cheated
out of the extra hour of light, and
the sooner Congress wakes up to
the error of its judgment in this
matter the better.

AT LAST!

liam is to be tried along with his
infamous father in connection with
the crime of German invasion and
its attendant outrages against help
less humanity.
The ex-Crown Prince is to be
brought before the bar of justice
as a common thief, which about fits
his character. Born of less power
full parents he would have been in
Jail long since. But mere thievery
Is too light a charge. The honor
of French and Belgian girls, whom
he treated so lightly, demands the
extreme penalty Degenerate by ma
ture, criminaI-b by instinct. Frederick
william should be put where he will
do no more harm. 1t may be safely
left to the French to see that he

ing to them.

Public BenefdctorS

[From the Wilkes-Barre Record
For generations to come the public
will be benefited by the munificent be-
quests contained in the will of Henry
C. Frick. In the pleasure to be given
to admirers of art, in the help to be
rendered by increased educational
facilities, in the comfort to be
afforded to the people of Pittsburgh
by additional park and recreation
advantages, the millions set aside
for the public will yield results the
scope of which cannot be estimated.
So many persons of wealth are
distributing large parts of their for
tunes for public uses either during
their lifetime or in the form of post
mortem bequests that it is evident
that they are impressed with a sense
of responsibility towards the public
that makes selfishness appear all the
more as a personal reproach. 1t is
the privilege of every person of
wealth to tie up his millions in
family inheritance, but when that
is done the public is plainly disap-
pointed because of the contrast The
person who piles up tens OF millions
may be particularly capable or par
ticular1y fortunate, yet in q sense it
is wealth that others have helped to
create, and it is a recognition of this
partnership, that undoubtedly i'm
presses those who remember the
public.

Europe Goes On

From the New York Evening Sum-
The speeches of King George v of
England, of his Premier, Lloyd
George, and of the French Premier,
Clemenceau, have expressed three
practically simultaneous views of in
ternational affairs. All three speak
ers coincide in Offering us u picture
of the British and French nations
moving Systematically together to
put the Old World in order.
Clemenceau informed the French
Chamber, for instance, that it was
intended to sustain systematically
the buffer states on the borders OF
Bolshevik Russia, notably Poland
and Rumania- He gave assurance
that French and British diplomacy
were at work to settle the disposal
OF Fiume, less vast but nearer
source of possible future trouble for
the leading parts of Europe. The
King expressed his expectation that
the cooperation now going on in
Europe would be long continued.
In none of the speeches appeared
any suggestion that could be turned
into warrant for a belief that the
affairs of Europe had suffered ma
terially by the ahstention of the
United States from the League of
Nations. The policy of Britain and
France, on the contrary, is seen to
take its course much as it must have
with the United States as a League
member.
AS between the statesmen's and
rulers declarations of to-day and
those of a few months ago, one diff
ference deserves note. No one now
speaks of the finality OF each mo-
ment's arrangements. The period
for negotiating permanent treaties
draws toward its close. It leaves
the leaders abroad with a growing
sense of the need for continuing
activity to settle matters that elude
summary treatment and call for
gradual action. This is quite con-
trary to the tendency OF a League
of Nations, which literally construed
would have removed the powers of
continuing action largely from the
leading nations to put it into the
hands of synthetic political crea-
tons such it sought to bring into
being.

A WISE YOUNG MAN

THE country will applaud Lieut..

nation to leave the service of

even while regretting the loss to the
Nation of such gallant officer.
Lieutenant Maynard freely admits
that he is getting out while the get
ting is good; that he is retiring un-
der the belief that like the pitcher
that goes too often to the well, the
aviator who flies once too often
loses his life, and Maynard is young.
with a family and with honor
enough to satisfy any man. He has
proved his courage and skill in a
manner that has aroused the ad-
miration of his countrymen. He has
played the part of a patriot, risking
his life for his country, and no.
body will do other than approve
when now he chooses the safer
courses of travel and goes back to
his chosen work, with money
enough to insure him a livelihood
If properly invested and a COM
petence for his old age.
Mr.. Maynard is a wise young
man. He has lived to learn that
there is more than IL mere plati-
tude in the old saying that some
times discretion is the better part
of valor.

SOMETHING TO CORRECT

rT SEEMS almost incredible that
differences of inches should exist
in the diameter and in other es-
&ential details of such emergency ap-
bliances as fire hose in towns WITHIN
II comparatively short distance OF
bach other. And yet the statements
BIZ experts of the State Fire PreVen-
hon Bureau indicate that not many
4 the more than 700 cities and bor-
ughs surveyed have the same types
h couplings. Scarcely a week goes
by but what some community is not
kalled upon to speed aid to another,
Ind the statement that firemen were
.hampered by hose" is familiar
statement in the news columns.
And the most remarkable thing
bout it is that there has been
tandard recommended by the hre
xperts, the insurance men and oth-
rs whose business it is to fight fires
Ind that efforts have been made to
have it adopted. Thousands and
thousands of dollars are being spent
5y municipalities for modern auto
4nobile fire apparatus and yet fire.
uent sales of hose are being made
Eithout regard to whether the
souplings are in accord with the
proposed standard. The trouble ap-
hears to be that manufacturers are
making their own patterns, and as
or the man whose business it is to
ell hose, there are few to compare
Eith him in enterprise.
State officials can help meet this
ituation by getting the firemen' the
municipal officers and the manufac-
urers on better basis of under
Handing.

The Gang

tBy James Carroll, in the New York
There's a Boy Scouts bunch on the
corner-aw, geei
An ia think o. the felers that usta
be there:
Brady, Bertoni, Smith an McNair,
Scrup Dolan, Skin Harvey, Tod Heus-
tis-an' me!
Them guys won't be there again,
never no more,
An Mulin, the cop that usta get sore
Cause we couldn't be bullied or
coaxed to keep quiet,
Can salt down his Scatter, Now.
Yez are worse nor a riot"
Brady went first, in the Road O. the
Ladies'
A spectacled Lieut. said that that
place was Hades,
But 1 guess he meant He'll in the
language he spoke.
The Jerrys sent gas to us, then they
came raidin',
But we gave 'em a skinful, our
French allies adm.
We hammered 'em hard till they
staggered an broke
Twas the first chance we'd had at
two-sided bout
But a lungful o. bullets put poor
Brady out!
Dolan went next! Say, that kid was
a dandy!
Gloves or bare knuckles he was ready
an handy
He could hit like the kick o. a mule;
l had height, weight an reach on
him, but even at that,
Whenever we scrapped I played
mouse to his cat
But a shell crossed his guard at Bois
Brule!
Two outa the gang gone, we swore
when we lost 'em-
Well, never mind that, the Jers
know what they cost 'em!
Then we played in good luck till
Marvoisin,
Where we sure gave the Jerry the
rout.
They hit all the high spots leavin'
that place,
An II say they'd "a won If twas
only a race.
I was helpin' to hasten their hurry,
An I'd no time for lookin' about,
So l lost sight o. Harvey, but, after
a while,
We found him an seven good Jers-
in pile!
The rest of us held till the Argonne,
But two days o. that cost us three,
An the pair that was left had TO
fight for the gang
Bertoni an me.
Now 1 amt sayin' much for meself,
but that wop
Was all over the job, an wouldn't
spell stop"
Til a raft of Hun bullets from a
cammif1aged nest
Gave him the nudge twas his turn
to go west.
Seven good guys gone out! an
there's only me KNOWN
That though they wasn't no heroes,
they made a good showin'.
They didn't get no citations nor no
crosses de gare,
But. while they lasted. them fellers
was there!
Seven outa eight-ye can't call that
bad!
They took what was comm and
gave all they had,
An none could do better than that,
you'll agree
Besides, there's left only three-quar-
ters o. me!

IdedliSn1 Run Wild
From the Kansas City star1

GFrom the Kansas City Star1
During the war the War Depart
ment coddled the radicals who not
only refused to fight, but tried in
every way to obstruct military pre-
parations. Secretary Baker wrote
the President that he was doing all
for them that public opinion would
stand" He installed as assistant Mr..
Keppel, who made them his special
charge and virtually destroyed dis
cipline in the prisons where they
were confined. Finally there were
wholesale discharges of these pre-
cious slackers with back pay.
1t was notorious fact that the
war labor board was the refuge of
the lunatic fringe during its exist
ence. Men who were wholly out of
sympathy with American institutions
were certain of being taken care of
at Government expense as investiga-
tors.
Now 1t is disclosed that the Com
missioner of immigration of the port
of New York, +. G. Howe, was the
particular champion of foreign re-
volutionists who, finding 1t too dam
gerous to continue their trade at
home, had taken advantage of the
freedom of America to conduct pro-
paganda for the overthrow of this
Government.
The watchman set to guard the
gate not only threw it open to the
reds who sought to destroy the
Government, but he undertook to
overrule his superiors and prevent
the deportation OF the trouble
makers after they had been found
out.
For the continued policy of sub
ordinates the PRECEDENT cannot es-
cape responsibility. The policy of
tolerance to the revolutionary foes
of all that America stands sor can
be explained only as another example
of that impractical idealism that is
as dangerous to the national life as
the blindest 'bourbonism could pos
sihIy be-

One more jump to Leap Year.
USES FOR BIG FORTUNES

TT WOULD seem, almost, that
there is a providential dispen-
sation in the accumulation of
such large fortunes as those of
Rockefeller and Frick, both of
whom recently have made over to
public uses the bulk of their mil
lions. The Frick bequest and the
Rockefellar Christmas gift of $780,
000.0 to the cause of popular edu-
cation indicate that these very
wealthy men have regarded them
selves more in the light of stewards
of their vast possessions than as
owners. If, as our socialistic friends
would have it, this money had been
divided up pro rata, each man,
woman and child in the country
would have had perhaps as much
as $1.75 more to spend. but it would
have been frittered away to meet
there would have been no great
endowment funds for the future
welfare of society. Perhaps that is
the answer to the so-called swollen
fortunes about which the soapbox
orators rave.
More and more men of wealth are
coming to look upon their accumu-
lated riches in this wise, and all
over the land communities are re-
ceiving gifts of the kind. There
are men in Harrisburg who should
give of their means to the city in
which they have made their money,
ana many are so doing in various
ways. But the practice could be
encouraged by some such
agency as the proposed Harrisburg
now in process of for
nation by committee of the
Chamber of Commerce. The sooner
his foundation is brought into be-
ng the better for the city. A dozen
projects of public welfare nature |

nent.
