TOLL THE BELLS FOR BAILEY

TNHERE is no political party in the
world suited to Uncle Joe Bailey, of
Texas, who has Jared forth into spi-
ritual no mans land after publicly re-
nouncing the Democratic brethren who
were accustomed to send him to the
United States Senate.
Everybody will admit that the Demo-
cratic party is a pretty good party to
get out of. 1t shines only by the re-
lected glory of one man. Its errors of
judgment and administration in various
parts of the country have been such that
even Mr.. Wilson's extraordinary appeal
was inadequate to save it at the last
elections. But Uncle Joe has not quit
the Democracy because of its sins of
omission He has gone into exile as a
man Nout a party chiefly because the
Democ ats have been favoring suffrage
and prohibition
In what place can Mr.. Bailey find COM
fort and sympathy? Governments and
peoples everywhere are now facing an
accumulation of the errors piled up by
wrong-thinking generations and by po-
litcal parties that were stff-necked and
narrow-minded enough to seem ideal to
Uncle Joe.
The average statesman is trying hard
to catch up with the times.
But this distinguished Texas poiti-
clan has other notions. Because he dis
trusts new things he would have progress
and progressive thinking cease. Occa-
sionally it seems that there are many
like him among the Democrats. The
Republican party has among it's leaders
some men equally backward minded. But
the Republican party manifests healthy
independence and an ability to transcend
its leaders when they are in error. This
is trait Unknown to the party that
formerly sheltered Mr. Bailey, of Texas.

Member Of the Associated Press
MR.. BECK AND OTHERS

TT is being pretty clearly demonstrated
by the canvass in Philadelphia that
men and women who labor are over
whelmingly in sympathy with the league
of nations plan.
In one manufacturing establishment
in Kensington 1885 Of the workers voted
for the league Of nations and Gel voted
against 1t in the poll being conducted
by this newspaper.
People VINO work for living are not
confused by a devotion to abstract the
cries, nor are they swayed by special
interest in affairs far removed from the
common life of the country.
Meanwhile James M. Beck and the
other liveler opponents of the league
of-nations principle continue to quote
George Washington.
One of these days some one will make
Mr.. Beck uncomfortable by interrupting
one of his speeches to remind him that
the American army didn't fight with the
methods applied during the Revolution
ary War and that Washington, when
the time came for great decisions, didn't
hesitate and wonder what William Penn
would have done under the circumstances.

the purpose OF the broad new thorough
fare leading to Fairmount Park, but the
title is fatty conventional and devoid Of
commemorative appeal. What is now the
Roosevelt Boulevard was not even Off
cially labeled Northeast" On the city
plan it was simply "The Boulevard
about as feeble an essay in nomenclature
as could be conceived
Tradition .and associations naturally
impart value to the names Of old and
well-known streets, originally without
special distinction. 1t would be confus-
ing to change the designations now. The
new municipal highways, however, should
be colorfully and carefully christened.
There is much virtue in fitting name.
The Moonlight Sonata" and the "Pa-
thetique Symphony" have undoubtedly
both profted in popularity because they
were familarly known by such labels
rather than merely as "opus so-and-so.'
Roosevelt Boulevard has flavor Of pride
and patriotism. 1t is a good beginning
in a needed reform.

INCREASING DIVORCE

DIVORCE records in the United States,
- when studied in comparison with
those of other countries, have always
been startling. The most recent general
estimates made by the federal Director
Of the Census indicate that for every
nine marriages in the United States
there is one divorce. No other nation
presents such an astonishing record In
France, which is usually supposed to be
easy-going in relation to the marriage
obligation, there is only one divorce for
every fifty marriages. There is a much
smaller percentage of divorces in Eng
land. The case appears a little less
hopeless from our own point of view
when it is remembered that a great
many separations take place in Europe
without the formality of legal divorce.
But it still appears that families break
up oftener in this country than anywhere
else in the world.
The general elasticity of the divorce
laws in the United States and the fash
ionable craving for independence" doubt
less are to blame. Divorce in this coun-
try has been the cause of great deal
of worry in the past. And it seems de-
stined to cost moralists and judges and
lawmakers some more sleep in the fu-
ture.

ACOLOR" in STREET NAMES

WITH the authorization by Councils,
given yesterday, and with the ex-
pected sanction Of the Fairmount Park
commissioners, Philadelphia ceases to
have Northeast Boulevard and that
fine stretch Of asphalt, tributary to the
upper reaches of Broad street, pays re-
spects to the memory of Theodore Roose-
Welt. The new name is well chosen and
Suggestive of an extension of taste in
street nomenclature hitherto but scantily
consiGered mere.
Penn's arboresl thoroughfares was
pretty conceit, but, owing possibly to
the early growth Of the city in separate
ninicipalities, the scheme was imper-
feetly executed. Much of our street
naming has been haphazard, and even the
eISning of new avenues in recent years
~ inspired but little scxercise of the
&einntion.

THE WHITE PEACE

nAWN on the nights horizon-day Of
~ the unmailed hand!
Thrill of the unspoiled ages in the youth
Of the uptorn land!
A call from the sacred silence, from
smitten soul and soil:
Bow ye in consecration-set ye your
hands to toll"
seven times seventy ages haze smttten
the earth to pain!
Yea, and tHI sepen times seventy ths
earth has buried her slain,
And, SCARED 1oith death-flled trenches,
and choEed 1OIth blood of men,
ForgiuinOs has smiled her harrests, and
yielded her trust again.
Tramp Of the living heroes, where the
warning heroes trod!
A million low. white crosses, singing the
ancient Word:
"Go beat your swords into plowshares!
Go forge your tools and live
Till Love and Justice conquer-till God
and the dead forgive!"
Seuen times seventy ages the tale has
been the same:
GLORY of victor and Uanqutshed, honor
and 0rtet and shame.
But neuer such griet, so costly, such
scenes as souls dbhor,
And meuer such glory as ours, naming the
Final War!'

Times.

THE LEAGUES PRESIDENT

TT is probable that several eminent
statesmen will be mentioned in turn
Tor the presidency of the league of ma
tons before that great Office is filled for
the first time.
The suggestion of Mr.. Asquith as
first president of the world league that
is sure to be may represent nothing but
an effort further to distinguish favor
lite son. And it may be a bit of subtle
propaganda intended to cool the enthu-
siasm of those Americans who like to
fancy an American as the moving spirit
IN the new order.
Mr.. Asquith is not likely to be the
first president of the league of nations.
The former British Premier is a superb
politician, but was not resourcefuI
enough to control the enemies in his
camp. He is great-but not quite great
enough. But the mere mention of his
name suggests the rarity of minds great
enough to preside at the councils of a
world still divided.

MAKE THE CAMPAIGN JOYOUS

TSHE local campaign committee of the
= Victory Loan has adopted an admir-
able slogan in Smile and pay the bill"
Its spirit should be needed both by those
who solicit contributions and those who
make them. Neither parties are exempt
from payment. The campaigners owe to
the public display of good humor and
friendly exhortation from which diver
gence was occasionally made in previous
drives.
When the perils Of civilization were
at the peak and American lives were.
making the sacrifice on the fields of
Champagne and Picardy it was some
times difficult for the loan speakers to
preserve all the temperamental graces.
Patriotic earnestness had tendency to
become minatory. Inevitably the need
for unloosening purse strings was en-
phasized by depressing pictures of the
worlds woes. The loan meetings were
not entirely pleasant affairs, for the
times in which we lived were tragic and
bitter.
But the cheer of victory should per-
wade the rostrum of the campagners
now, and the public, too, should be good
hunnored while it pays, for it will not be
asked to invest in a scheme for which
\ success is merely hopefully forecast, but
in an enterprise that has tangibly tri-
umphed. Surely the motive for discharg-
ing debt was never so stimulating as
now. Even before we finish paying the
piper he is playing his blithe airs. The
coming campaign should be rousing, ring
ing and invigorating. This time we are
underwriting not death, but life.

Greetings, Edgar!

LNDGAR GUEST, Detroit's most popular
" poet, Is to be in town on Monday, so this
seems to us an appropriate ime to comply
with a request Miss Bessie Graham has
made several times, viz, that We reprint
our perversion of Eds best.krown poem.
This may seem a discourteous gesture
toward our honored Guest: but he will be
consoled by the thought that only the very
best poets are ever paroded And by the
way, it is only fair to say that when we
wrote the parody, last December, we didn't
know that Ed was the author of the origi-
nal poem. We were inspired to the feat
by the fact that some woman took the we'll
known verses. altered word or two, and
sold them to Life as her own.
Eds poem begins thus:
Somebody said that 1t couldn't be done.
But he, with chucltle, replied,
That maybe 1t couldn't, but he would be
Who wouldn't say 50 till he tried.
So he buclkled right In with trace Of
grin
On his face. II he worried he hid it;
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done-and he did it.
And here is our own version:
The Truth at Last
UCOMEBODY said that it couldn't be
~ done,
But he with a lchuckle replied
That maybe it couldn't, but he would be
one
Who wouldn't say so till he tried
He tackled the job and endeuuored his. best,
Saying Fame Is for those aoho pursue
it,;
The upshot. of course, is much better sup
pressed:
He tailed-the poor fish didn't do 1t!
"CoMEBoDY scoffed, oh, you'll "ever
~ do that,
Or, at least no one ever has done it;
But he only laughed while his enemies
chaffed,
And the first thing they knew, he'd begun
it," ...
He ,uorled like slave, aoith unlimited grit,
When discourd0ement came. he'd pooh
pooh It.;
But, though 1t gives Orison Marden a fit,
The fact is--the Boob didn't do It!
t01NHoUsANDs will tell you it cannot be
l. done:
Thousands of friends, too, will fail you;
Thousands will argue, enjoying the fun,
The dangers that wait to assail you
Maybe they're right, and this doctrine OF

ideals.
The industrial and vocational aspects
of education are also receiving much at
tention here; but in order to save waste
of money and the precious time of the
young the state needs intelligent leader
ship and guidance, the sort of guidance
that will not permit the sacrifice Of

for which the vocational schools have
prepared them.

whole state in all these four phases of

ideals, with men and with money to
influence every part of the common
wealth so that the coming generation
may be better equipped for living rich,
full and useful life than the preceding
generation.

should refuse to provide the money for
the increase in teachers pay, it is within
the power of the Governor to appoint as
superintendent man with imagination
and inspiration enough"to convince the
teachers that they are doing patriotic
service and hold them to their jobs with
a new spirit until such time as financial
justice can be done to. them.
