Member of the Associated Press
MOORE IN COMMAND

MO ONE can mistake the significance
= of the remarks made by Congress
man Moore at the opening Of the head
quarters of his mayoralty campaign COM
mittee.
The campaign is to be conducted from
those offices and not from the Republican
city committee rooms at Eleventh and
Chestnut streets. Mr. Moore invites the
city committee to send representatives to
confer with him, and he also asks the
Town Meeting party and the Republican
Alliance to do likewise.
During the primary campaign Mr..
Moore announced that if he were nomi-
mated there would be a new leadership in
the party. He is nominated. The off
cial count just announced has confirmed
the verdict Of the unofficial count and he
is now the regular Republican nominee
by grace of the vote of a majority of the
men who went to the polls. He is as
suming the leadership to which he be-
lieves he has been promoted, and it is
apparent that he purposes to exercise it's
functions for the next four years.
Every believer in the real traditions of
the Republican party will wish him a
clear head, a sense of humor and the
power of lusty wallop in his good right
arm

New York, which it resembled in archi-
lecture, had to give way to more modern
hostelries. In its prime the Continental
was one of the finest hotels in the United
States, but that was at time when the
country was smaller and not so rich as
it is today.
Cities no larger than Philadelphia was
when it was built now have finer hotels
than the Continental ever was. They are
larger and more sumptuously furnished,
with eonvenences which the travelling
public in the sixties never expected to
find in any place of public entertainment.
Yet the old hotel served its generation
well and gave distinction to this city.
The plan to replace it by lofty busi-
ness building is sign of confidence in
the future of Chestnut street between the
postoffice and the Delaware river.

AN AERIAL SANTA MARIA

IF THE navy could advertise as well as
= it can fight, the recruiting mission of
the NC4, the plane in which Commander
Read made the first successful air fight
to Europe, would have had a different
aspect.
The big machine has been lying off
Vine street for days, yet she received
only casual attention because there was
no organized effort to find audiences or
to show her off. Yet some day in the
far future she will have a place of honor
in the Smithsonian Institution. She will
be as wonderful in the time to come as
the Santa Maria would be today if she
had been preserved after the first voyage
of Columbus to survive the later CEN
turies.
Fortunately for the navy. its practical
work advertises it, and any one who gets
in the air service with the sea-goers may
properly feel that he is up at the front in
the march of aviation progress.

Ninth and Chestnut streets, has been
sold to syndicate which will tear it
down and put twenty story Office build

HADLEY COMES TO LIFE

60 LITTLE has been heard of Herbert
= S. Hadley, the great trust-buster, of
Missouri, since the Republican national
convention of 1912 that many persons
had begun to wonder whether he was
still alive. There was a moment during
the convention when it was believed that
if Hadley were nominated instead of
Taft the progressive movement, headed
by Colonel Roosevelt would be aban-
doned. He was then regarded as of
presidential size and availability.
A statement from him indorsing the
peace treaty discloses the fact that he is
professor in the University of Col
orado. The text of the statement indi-
Gates that while he has been in obscurity
he has not forgotten how to do some
straight thinking, for he remarks that if
the Republican senator's oppose the prin-
ciple of international cooperation and
arbitration as embodied in the treaty,
the Splendid idealism which has char
acterized Republican leadership since the
organization of the party will now be re-
pudiated."
We do not know what Mr.. Hadley's
ambitions are or whether he thinks that
precedent has proved that a professor
ship is as good stepping stone to the
presidency as govenorship, but we
commend the professor for his belated

LoUe's Secret Revealed

WHEN we two kissed, o maiden,
w Twas night with none to see:
The night and the dawn saw only
The stars and thee and me,
But the morning star descending
Has told it to the sea.
And the sea with her hundred voices
Whispered it to the oar;
The oar blade told the mariner,
And when he came to shore
He sang the secret openly
At his beloveds door.

In Days Of Yore

TN DAYS Of yore they were discreet.
l. Those modest, shy, retiring feet!
Dainty shoes that showed, at best,
Their soles the uppers were but guess'd
Beneath their crinoline retreat!
With grace and coquetry replete,
Like maiden secrets, half confessed.-
They quickened many beau heart beat
In days Of yore
But now they boldly throng the street,
And modesty grows obsolete;
The "uppers" give the eye no rest!
To see the souls, ah, that's the quest!
To think this surfeit was treat

And left my soul unsatisfied-

And the rowan trees that trembled there
Have gone with the turf to town.

While the green of barley or wheat, perhaps,
Shall grow where the Wee Folk played.
Maybe the grain shall yet be good,
But l would rather be fed on whins;
And as for fire of rowan wood,
I'd rather have frosty shins.

Are forever planted with phantom rows
OF ghostly rowans, trembling where

health requires them to seek hospital
bed. 1t is for everybody without any
exception. It is their own hospital,
just as though they had built it them
selves without aid or help from any
one else.
When the hospital has been opened
to the public, you will have the same
rights and privileges for care and
treatment as will any millionaire. 1t
makes no difference whether you have
a dollar or just penny, or as to
whether you belong to church or to
no church. If you do belong to a
church the creed of that church makes
no difference as your admission to

where you or any friend expressing
doubt, can read it. There is nothing
more to be said on this point, except
to repeat what has already appeared

Rev. w. R. Blachford, Rector of the
Episcopal Church of Owosso, in con-
nection with his services on Sunday
morning last, in the interest of che
hospital project Of Shiawassee County,
made the following remarks:
"The public ought to be interested
in such work as the hospital work,
for the reason that it is the gospel that
has inspired the humanitarian work
in the world. III no other country is
there to be found hospital or any
such large work except where the
Christian gospel is preached so that
the hospital work and all humanitar-
ian work is the result of the gospel.
1t seems to me that the Christian
church ought to inspire all such work
but not be required to carry it on ex-
cept beyond the initial movement. If
the church has inspired the public with
the need, and demonstrated that need
by the initiation Of the work, then the
public ought to take over the hospital
work. This humanitarian work such
as hospital work, is extensively car
ried on throughout the country and
now we want to carry it on intensively
in Shiawassee county,"

WHY
Music Is Essential Feature of
Soldiers Life

The association of musical sounds
and cOlOrs is usually rated thing for
people whose hyper-aestheticism
ranges toward the elevation Of crank
dom. This, we discover, is a grave err
ror. Color music finds champions in
not merely the healthy but in the very
keepers Of health, the men of medi-
cine. We have the following from the
editorial typewriter Of the Medical
Record:
During the war. the psychological
Importance of music has been demon
strated, and 1t Is now recognized as
an essential feature in the soldiers
life. 1t 10 therefore of particular in
terest just now to note what may be
termed new departure in music (;
though the idea may not be new, 1t
has never been put to any extensive
practical use, and color music is still
more or less an unknown quantity.
"Cases are cited of planists who had
been unable to memorize and who
therefore could not appear in public,
but who by means Of color music COM
mitted to memory and played most ad-
vanced and difficult compositions after
q few hours study Of the manuscript.
An interesting story is recorded Of
young girl who naturally associated
music and color and when asking for
a particular piece would say that
pink tune or that red tune
ut is thought that children with
their receptive minds will be able cas-
lily to assimilate this new teaching ba-
sis. IT might even prove a means of
,levating the race by increasing the
perception and love of music"

and others had crutches. Still 9TH
.ers leaned on the arms of stronger
comrades.
It was weak, slow procession.
There were cheers and tears from the
crowd.
Fifty-four years ago it took the
Army two days for review. In 1915 it
took less than four hours. Several
sections gave their battle cries as they
passed the president; cries that were
hollow and lacking In volume. Others
sang the war songs of so years ago
In quavering voices. One section
sang marching Through Georgia"
with brave show Of spirit. They
were Sherman's men.
A fife and drum corps passed
playing "Rally Round the Flag, Boys"
and many Of those in the presidents
stand joined In the chorus. The vet
Grams cheered again. AS each contin-
gent came along there would be a
burst Of applause.
1t was a tired pageant by the time
the presidents reviewing stand was
reached after q march of mile from
the capitol to the White House. The
men appeared exhausted when they
passed The president stood through
out the entire review, removing his
hat whenever the American flag
passed.
The president stood on the same
spot from which President Johnson
viewed the mighty host. A chilly wind
tempered the sun and the sky was
cloudless. 1t was the last Grand Re-
view.
