AFTER you have listened for days to the
"A discussion attending this unparalleled
crisis 1t begins to appear that the Senate
is ready to defy even the forces OF evolu-
tiop--since it is the evolution in arma-
ments on the one hand and inhuman rea-
soning on the other that has brought about
the conflicts of peoples with their govern
ment and their familiar social order.
The Senate seemed, during the last week,
to move on q higher plane, Cily aoof from
all the familiar concerns of common men,
there TO deal with forms and farmulac
from day to day Oh u comfortable oasis in
a world of aspiration and torment. There
is no parliament In the world where the
actualities of life and labor seem to receive
so little attention.
Each orator who has discussed the league
of nations invariably ends with a paean
to the boys" abroad. And then the Senate
resumes its filibuster to stop appropriations
for the federal employment service, the
one agency that befriends the returning
soldiers and tries 10 find him job
It is impossible to avoid the impression
after few days of the press gallery that
it is the Senators who arc the misguided
Missionaries and that the President is In
this instance the practical realst. Even
though clauses in the Representations
covenant may be subject 10 revision, the
unexpected force of the attack now made
upon 1t carries a suggestion OF tragedy.
Because in the chill atmosphere of the
Senate 1t seems one OF the few real things
in the world-a thing warmed and living
through its very coseness to the unpro-
tected lives of which its critics never seem
to think.

NEVER in any of these addresses was
there a suggestion of what the speak
ers must have known TO be truc--that it is
only the prospect of a league of nations
that SO far has restrained the forces Of
destructive radicalism and destructive inl-
perialism from further wild adventures
over all the length and breadth OF pros
trate Europe. Nor was 1t hinted that there
are already sketchcd out largely in Europe
schemes of empire that will inevitably split
the world about evenly into two armed
camps.
Every statesman worth his salt knows
that the root of war Is not with kings
bu. in tho ambitions of invisible govern
ncnts everywhere for control of the uneX-
plotted areas of the earth, and that the
scheme of mandatorics embodied in the
league of nations covenant represents the
most effective plan ever devised to dsarm
the Hindenburgs of international finance
and trade and give the nations an oppor
tunity to live in peace
OF all this, of the artificial hatred that
the Paris conference is trying to eliminate.
of the incredible disaster that will afilict
start "A new delirium of competitive arma-
ments, no Senator said word. Plainly
they do not yet know that a great change
came over tho world when war was
made so horrible that men ceased hating
their enemies and began to pity them. No
echo of the passionate inquiry that the
great majoritcs are putting to their lead
crs seems to have reached the floor ma
iorty in the United States Senate. They
do not know what every one who has been
in Europe has seen very plainly, that no
government and no social order reconciod
to a repetition Of war can continue to
survive
Mr.. Knox even suggested limited "alli-
ances," but hc carefully refrained from
telling what these alliances should be for
Nor did he take the trouble to inform his
hearers that if there arc to be new rival
alliances after this, one-half of the world
must be ranged and armed against the
other and that no nation will be able to
escape in the disaster that then will be
inevitable.

Looked at sordidly, the political leaders

twenty -one $1,000 jobs.

Tho contract Cvil is met by a provision
which gives absolute home rule to the
city in the matter. II is specifically ordered

but IT is recognized that conditions may
arise under which it will be cNpedicut to

tracts may be awarded on the consent OF

tho Council, supplemented by the ap
proyal Of the Mayor.

TO that system. II can make a contract
without asking the consent of the Legis.
lature in Harrisburg. The possibility of
such condition arising Is recognized by
further provisions which empower the city
to award contracts for three years. This
period Is long enough to insure gen
