Mr.. WILSON IN COLUMBUS

"WHEN this treaty is accepted, and
say when it is accepted because it
will be accepted" is what the President
said to his audience in Columbus yester-
day, and thus verified the conclusions of
observers far from Washington
Mr.. Wilson, however. seemed to be
anxious to remove any misunderstanding
about the nature of the treaty, and it is
evident that he intends to devote ,eonsid-
cradle time to this effort while on his
tour. 1t is true, as he said, that many of
the criticisms of it have been made by
people who apparently had not read it.
If they had read the document they could
not be so mistaken about its provisions.
But the Presidents confidence in its
ratification is reassuring. He knows as
much about the situation as any. one and
the rest of US can be content in the same
confidence which he shows

nouncement that the picturesque col
onnaded Roberts house in Rittenhouse
square will soon make way for huge
apartment hotel is followed by the news
that the spacious old Norris residence at
Sixteenth and Locust streets is to meet
the same fate.
The charming Wilstach mansion at
Eighteenth and Walnut streets vanished
some years ago. The Lippincott house
and garden at Broad and Walnut sue
cumbed to modern enterprise at an ear
ler date.
While it is idle to resent these ,adieus,
which are so plainly an index of metro
politan development they are hard upon
the sentimentalist and the sincere ad-
mirer of gracious architectural survivals.
The physical aspects of Philadelphia
have been slow to change, but in the CEN
tral part of the city at least the trans
formation has now become swift. Ger
mantOwn is still fascinating museum of
eighteenth and early nineteenth century
places" The Friends meeting houses
still strike significant atmospheric"
notes even within the original metropoli-
tan boundaries. The State House, Car
penters' Hall and Christ Church are
rightly inviolate.
But whether it hurts the artistic sensi-
bilities or not, the metamorphosis of the
town cannot be stayed. Pride and re-
grets Struggle for position in the shifting
scene

THE HEATLEss MELTING POT

WE HAVE set up melting pot and
w have neglected to build a fire under
it. This is what Judge Page, president
of the American Bar Association, told the
members of the association in his open
ing speech at its annual convention in
Boston. He was discussing the perils of
/ American democracy. The immigrants
have not been absorbed into our social
and political system. They do not un-
derstand the genius of our institutions.
They are the people who are making the
most trouble and it is they who are hos
pitable to the ideas of the Bolshevists.
Judge Page remarked that to make a
real democracy there must be surrender,
compromise and service. He said that
the golden rule is an absolutely and i'm
peratively necessary rule of conduct in
democracy" There is nothing new in all
this, but we need to remind ourselves of
it periodically lest we forget it.
The few persons who are talking about
revolution do not understand the nature
of our institutions. We live under the
rule Of the majority. Whatever the ma
jority wants it can get. 1t is a dissatis-
fed and ignorant small minority that
talks revolution. 1t wishes to force its
ideas upon the rest of the people whether
they will or not, forgetting that if the
majority wants anything it can get it.
No reform" that can stand up under
examination and public discussion is ever
rejected. All that is needed is patience
and perseverance.
But it must be admitted that the neg
lect to apply the golden rule in business
has provoked and is provoking unrest.
Far-seeing men are already engaged in
the effort to bring about a better under
standing between the workers and those
who hire them in order that the ground
for complaint may be removed. The more
intelligent leaders of both sides are ad-
mitting that they have made mistakes
and have not done as they would be done
by. They admit that they have tried to
do the other fellow and do him first. But
the trouble here is industrial and not
political. 1t would arise under any form
of government. 1t is merely a phase in
the progress of humanity toward enlight-
enment, but the dissatisfaction with it is
bright with the promise of better day.
If we can Americanize the immigrant,
and teach him what the right to life and
liberty and the pursuit Of happiness
means, we can make easier the solution
of both the political and industrial prob
lens.

WISE CoUNSELoRS AT WORK

IL Is reassuringly evident that leader
snip in the Republican party is not held
exclusively by senatorial offceholders.
Otherwise the threatened trailing of the
Presidents tour by the treaty obstruc-
tionists would now be conforming to
schedule. 1t isn't. The bitter-enders on
behalf of treaty smashing will confne
their nagging to congressional oratory.
Hiram Johnson hardly counts. 1t is
limited that he is courting the nomination
for the presidency. Considered with his
record, no fact could more successfully
minimize the significance of his lone
swing around the circle
What is of real importance both for the
nation and the Republican party is the
attitude of such men as Taft, Root.
Hughes and Hays. For months it has
been apparent that they have had scant
sympathy with the antics of the marplots
in the Senate. Mr.. Taft, for example,
holds something more influential at this
time than an Office in the party. I<e COM
mands the respect and confidence of the
bulk of its members.
The dropping of the pursuit" is clear
and wholesome evidence of the force of
this sentiment. The situation is an
augury that the Republican party will
become stronger than ever for causes
that are just and that the season of wild
fiouEdering in opposition to its best coun
selors and the pervadng spirit of the
nation is nearing a close.

A CARNIVAL OF CONTRADICTION

IN THE French Chamber of Deputies.
= M. FranklinS Bouillon has announced
that he will vote against the treaty be-
cause the functioning of the league-of-
nations pact is too greatly dependent on
decision by the Congress of the United
States. The treaty smashers in Wash
ington bitterly complain that America
under the covenant is virtually at the
mercy of the European powers and that
the position of Congress is ignored.
Both of these interpretations cannot be
true. Furthermore, a covenant so equiv
ocally wOrded as to permit in honesty of
such variant readings. would be little
short of idiotic. Its real meaning is quite
as clear as any broad working formula
for so great project as a fellowship of
nations can well be. The obligations and
duties under the pact are interlocking. re-
ciprocal. 1t erects no monopoly of power
Tor any particular country.
Those persons who contend that it does
are lined up on the same side, no matter
how divergent their interpretations are.
Borah, Brandegee, Knox and Johnson are
nctually lined up with Deputy Franklin
Bouillon. They are all simply "agin" the
government.
The fact that this attitude in America
and in France compels its champions
fatty TO contradict each other IN their
aotions of what the treaty means is plain
proof of the desperate folly of such
lamentations.

BY FORCE OF EXAMPLE

CHARGES are made that men have
obeen registered in the Ware wards from
lodging houses where they do not live
and that names have been put on the
assessors lists not represented by any
living person.
But why should this be surprising?
Ii Senator Ware can register from
house that has not been occupied for two
years or more, why may not a lesser man
register from a house in which he does
not live?
The force of example has inspired phi
losophers and preachers to many a homily
intended for our good. Why should it not
inspire politicians to deeds intended for
our undoing?
