A DIRECTOR of Public Welfare such as

rcauS.
Housing and sanitation, public health.
clean streets and the like are provided
for under existing ordinances which re-
late to divisions Of the municipal gov
ernments long established, But since no
department ever seems to have time to
look after all the details of its work, a
functionary especially appointed to su-
pervise those municipal activities that
most intimately touch the crowds might
be useful.
A woman in such position would be a
novelty, and yet it is not strange to hear
that Mrs. Jane D. Rippin is being con-
sidered for the place. Mrs. Rippin has
energy and originality, qualities that are
not too conspicuous in the public service.

FOOTBALLS RENAISSANCE

UCPORTING Extras" mean something
~ this fall.
For two years the battlefield super
seeded the gridron. Baseball rather mi
rdculously weathcrcd the blight of world
strife, but hiatus in football annals
was inevitable. The general statrs in
every nation called for youth. 1t was in
the last analysis youth that won the
war" Pigskin battles by college lads
could not be contemporaneously waged.
The present revival of interest in grid
iron combatS is most reassuring index
of the return of peace. Even the finality
of presidential proclamation will hardly
be a more convincing proof that the Bit
ter business is over than is the stimu-
lating renaissance of healthy athletic
rivalry among the universities.
Naturally, in a new world there must
be new sensations in football. One of
the most conspicuous of them is the sud
den dominance of Colgate, which reioces
in a team of major caliber.
There was, moreover. feeling until
Saturday afternoon that Pennsylvania
had recovered her former football cmi-
nence. Hopes have been dashed, but in
terest remains whetted Strikes and the
peace treaty are no longer the sole argu-
mentative topics of the hour.

AT THE PENITENTIARY

IF ALL the high aims and hard work
of prison reformers have served only
TO inspire arrogance and hypercriticism
in felons. then millions of well-intentioned
people will feel that they are hopelessly
astray amid conflicting theories in a
contrary world. Yet something very

Of dealing with iails and the jailed is
apparent at the Eastern Penitentiary.
which is to be investigated largely be-
cause of the uproar created by the in
mates.
In the early years Of his adminstra-
tion Warden McKenty was blamed for
too much kindness. He reorganized the
penitentiary, removed many of the harsh
restraints of an earlier period and en-
deavored to revive the confidence and
latent good in his charges by giving them
a system of sclf-govelnment. Hard work
was impossible in the prison because of
the restrictions of labor laws. The place
was scientifically managed and there
were times when it appeared that con-
victs had a far better time of it after
they were sentenced than the hardwork-
ing taxpayers who paid for their keep.
Those who were disposed to criticize
Mr.. McKenty for his humanitaranism
will listen with mingled feelings to the
E charges of cruelty now made against him
and to the tales of poor food and "pooi
housing" and the plants about discrimi
nation that come from behind the peni
Steatiary walls. Something is radically
wrong somewhere. A great many of tho

A WAY OUT

ONLY by prompt return to work and
~ the abandonment of their warlike' at
titude can the coal men emerge safely
from the present crisis and restore any
semblance of validity to their cause.
Their leaders are in way to do irrep-
arabic harm to all trades unions. They
have invited the suspicion and the ill
will Of the country not only for them
selves, but for the movement which they
msrcprescnt. 1t is for that reason that
extraordinary responsibilities now rest
with the more conservative labor leaders
who have managed to keep their heads in
these days of frantic opportunism and
reckless agitation.
If organizations like the railway
brotherhoods have retained their usual
shrewdness and good sense they will in
tewene at once to counsel reversal of
policy among the miners and the sort of
patience and tolerance that all people
have had to cultivate in these unsettled
times. This conviction will occur natu
rally to any one who has rational con-
cern for organized labor and faith in its
legitimate purposes.

The merits of the miners case are
aside. Their claims are now ancient his
tory. The strike is for something else
altogether. The people, outraged by the
demands and the methods of the coal
unions. should not be further prejudiced
against a movement that involves mil
lions of reasonable and loyal citizens.
The more conservative unions owe it to
themselves to urge or compel the miners
to do what they should have done in the
beginning-to go to work, to share some
of tho stresses that are common to all
people at the moment, to inform public
opinion ntelligently of their troubles and
to he content with decisions rendered dis
passionately and fairly. Violence and
elaborate gestures Of belligerent self
interest will get the strikers nowhere.
The time for that sort of thing is past.
The world is sick Of it.

A CONTRAST

DELEGATES from every country in
the world sitting in at the intelna-
tional labor conference at Washington
represent the enlightened labor opinion
of the world. They know what is what
in economics and in the laws of indus
trial progression. They speak for gov
ernments, for public opinion and for for
ward-looking industrial leadership in all
civilized countries.
A universal eight-hour day represents
to them rational goal that ought to
content everybody, keen the world going
in comfort and benefit humanity at large.
1t is interesting to contrast their be-
liefs with the demands of the striking
soft-coal men.

FRENCH PRoFlTEERS AT BAY

OTHER countries, other customs.
" With characteristic vigor in a crisis,
the French have sifted salient facts and
definitely lodged charges against their
war profteers. The commissions of the
Senate and the Chamber of Deputies
have deposited specific findings against
the offenders. One firm alone is called
upon to return 2,5O00O0 francs to the
state.
According to American standards this
sum is not precisely immense. 1t is. how
ever, the emphatic manner in which the
guilty parties are brought to book which
commands the admiration and interest of
outsiders. The Gallo spirit which mobil-
ized the taXicab army has a way of en-
tering into a good many phases of
French public life.

Arise they will although their graves he

We cannot tell when they will wake from
sleep,
These haunting memories of joy or woe.
And it is we'll they leave MS not in life,-
Thoughts of past sins, of happiness or
pain
Since by experience we wisdom gain
And sympathy and strength for present strife.
The oceans treasures lie the wave beneath
So deep within the heart of you, of me
Our treasures. lic,--our love. our memory
And lacking these, this life would be as
death.
So slight Il thing memory can wake;
TO roll away the stone the weak are

And feel the old time joy the old time ache.
