Mr.. Elsick. formerly with the

work of national and State Gov

veloped with adequate capital un-

SETTLE THE TEXTILE STRIKE!

ANY ONE who looks twice at the tex
{ 4 tile strike in kensington must real
ize that it has grown to be grievous
labor disturbance. AS it stands it sug-
pests that human reason is futile, that
we in this city are not observing right
ideals of industrial cooperation and that,
while force and attrition have been
utterly discredited everywhere else in
the world as means to rational end.
force and attrition still are to prevail in
labor disputes in America,
Unreasonable hardship and endless
loss have resulted so far from the dead
lock created between the mill owners
and their employees. Each side is being
accused by the other of being stiff
necked irreconclable and unfair. The
faith of many thousands of people in our
native ability to live and work in amity
and good will is being shaken and de-
stroyed, and there is a sense of bitter
ness and despair not only among those
who are participants in the dispute, but
among many who are merely thoughtful
observers of the situation.
The strike has gone too far.
Those who may be responsible for it.,
whether on one side or the other or on
both sides, are doing a great deal of
harm beyond the circle of their own in
terests. The agencies of mediation pro-
vided by the federal government have
been disregarded. The trouble, what
ever it actually is, should be brought out
into the light and discussed and ad-
justed without any further delay in the
interest of the community, the workers
and the business men themselves, and,
above all, for the good name of this great
Industrial city.

present business is liable at any time to
be interrupted by strikes of the men
operating the water craft, and in cold
winter the ice blocks the river to such an
extent that the operation Of the craft is
seriously interrupted, if not suspended
altogether.
Because of these pleas the New York
Senate has appropriated S1,000,OO0 as
the states share for preliminary work
on the tunnel. The lower house is OK
pected to agree to the appropriation. The
New Jersey Legislature has set aside
similar sum for its share Of the prelim-
mary work.
The port of Philadelphia suffers under
no such handicap. There is room on the
Philadelphia side of the Delaware for
more piers than have been built, and
those that we now have are easily ac-
cessibe from every business house in the
city.
When New York admits its disadvan-
tages is the time for Philadelphia to ex-
plot its advantages so that every ship
per in the country may be aware of them.

WHAT THE POLL SHOWED

OUCH opposition as there is in America
~ to the league-of- plan was
strongest in the East. The poll just
completed by this newspaper indicates
that in this typical eastern community
the people are two to one in favor of
modernizing the system of international
relationships in the manner proposed by
the American delegates at Paris.
The peace treaty will be ratified by
the Senate.
Ours is still a government of the
people.
Collective opinion in the United States
Z has never been founded on mistaken
judgments of men or issues.
Bigots, cliques, political mandarins
and the ivied mind are given plenty of
freedom because we are a liberal
minded people.
y But they never prevail in crisis.

SAFEGUARD THE PEDESTRIAN

THE swinging-sign menace worked its
= ineXcusable and familiar havoc during
last weeks destructive gale. The pedes-
trians who were injured by these excres-
cences We're not directly victims of an
"act of God" but an act of man, dan
gerous act which has long lacked ade-
quate regulation in this city. The heavy
projecting signs which so disfgure many
of our streets that they look like thor
oughfares in "rube town" are always
likely to come crashing to the pavement
when a severe wind blows,
The fact is perfectly well known, and
yet the abuse continues. If the esthetic
reason for removing these blatant perils
is regarded as insufficient, surely the
harm that they work ought to be enough
to condemn them. Respect for the
"safety-first' principle may be helpful
to the citizen in some instances. 1t may
teach him to avoid. recklessness with re-
gard to autos and trolley cars, but he
hasn't. chance when the wind rips
heavy metal signs from their moorings.
Artistic and personal security on our
streets will both be enhanced if ban on
the overhead disfgurements is effec-
lively enforced.

Criminal Thriftlessness

From the Thrift Magazine
NNE million pounds of onions recently
Owere found rotting on a pier in New
York.
An official who made the discovery said
that in his opinion the onions had been left
to rot in this manner in order to cause a
scarcity in the market and keepsup prices
Cases such as this should be investigated
TO the limit, and If the charges are found
to be true the guilty persons should be pun
ished to the fullest extent possible withln
the law.
These are not the days to be gentle
hearted in such matters.
Thriftlessness always Is inexcusable 1t
becomes the most dangerous form of crimi-
nallty when applied to food.
There is too much Bolshevism and social
unrest in the air TO make any form of food
waste tolerable.
Let the gentlemen who are trying to
manipulate the food market by destroying
edible products be brought to realize fhat
they are shaking dice with volcanic forces

tics have gone blunderingly at times and
at times they have been futile and naive.
But they have been experimenting with
an unfamiliar method and they have
been hampered oy very great virtue of
their own--a habit of thinking in funda-
mcntals. Thus the sages at Washington
smiled charitably when Miss jeanette
Rankin, the Representative from Mon
tana, broke into tears as she voted for
American participation in the war. But
what is modern war that a people
should engage in it without bitter re-
gret? The lady from Montana wept,
doubtless, because some ancient instinct
told her war was infinitely cruel and
wrong and wasteful and, above all, in
conclusive.
Would mankind be poorer or richer if,
elsewhere and in other governments,
there had been statesmen who could feel
similarly about it before they issued
their edicts and doomed millions through
secret orders to their vassals in the Dip
lomatic madhouses?
Miss Rankin tears were mucn VIII
ten about, and it is probable that they
served to end her political career And
yet her instructive judgment and her re-
vulsion from the hideous prospect of
war like the last one may, in the end,
have been founded in a sort of sanity
that long ago departed from great
many statesmen who still can think of
war without any sense of its essential
barbarity.
The worst that men can say about
suffrage represents an extraordinarily
sweeping indictment of men themselves.
Women almost any jmmovabIe
party politician will tell you, "wll
always vote as their husbands tell them
to- If they don't vote as their husbands
tell them to vote they will vote the way
they think the men will vote. So they
shouldn't have the BALLOT
The hope of the world nowadays is
that women will not vote always as
their husbands vote. And it isn't likely
that they will. For women are being
educated not only in the colleges, but in
shops and factories in their struggle for
a living. They seem to know a great
deal more than they used to about the
maladjustments and the faults of modern
politics and modern society. And they
have gone about their fight for the fran
chise as if they mean to set some of
these things right-or die.

The New York business men said that

CONGRESSMAN MOORES
LETTER
The Pension Committees and the
Multitude OF Youthful "Tet-
erans"-U. S. Employment
Service in Distaror
Washington, March 81.

60 MANY new war associations are being
~ formed that the term veteran" Is
coming to be susceptible Of analysis The
younger generation, accustomed to apply
the term to the disappearing members OF
the Grand Army of the Republic, almost
hesitate to regard the boys on crutches
who come back from the French trenches
as veterans. And Colonel ]. Campbell
Gilmore comes along with plans for the
fifty-eighth anniversary of the veteran
corps" of the First Regiment Infantry.
Think of ii! Veterans of the Grand Army
of the Republic, veterans OF the Spanish
American War, veterans of the war In
Europe-all veterans now, from the eight.
cenyear-od youngster OF today to the oc'
togenarian who fought under Grant. There
are two committees in the House of Rep.
resentatives which look after the veterans,
the Committee on Invalid Pensions, which
has jurisdiction over the cases of Civil War
veterans, and the Committee on Pensions,
which cares for those who engaged in sub
sequent wars. New members of Congress-
given a choice between these two commit
tees, prefer the Pensions over that of In
valid Pensions. It emphasizes the sad
fact that the veteran of the Civil War has
been very generally cared for, or that his
influence is passing away.
