johnson, superintendent Of mails, ex-
plains that the letter boxes are in for
their spring renovation and repainting
and that the old and soiled cards are to
be replaced in three weeks by new ones.
Nevertheless, mere mortals can't help
wondering why useful and confidence
breeding guides, however shabby, had to
be removed before the substitutes were
ready. But the Burlesonian empire
moves in a mysterious way its blunders
to perform. And perhaps, after all, the
inculcation of mistrust in letter boxes
accords with the policy which continues
to shake public faith in the mail service
itself. In all that relates to the wrong
way Of doing things. the present admin
istraton of the Postoffice Department is
beautifully logical.

DOMESTIC POLITICS AT PARIS

or ALL ne forces which beset and be-
~ devil the delegates in Paris, home
politics is perhaps the most potent.
Every statesman has been plagued by it,
and whether the attacks have been war
ranted or undeserved there can be no
question that they have hampered har-
mony and progress at the peace table.
Just now it seems to be Lloyd Georges
turn to be embarrassed. The chicks
hatched by his fervid oratory during the
British general election last December
roost. The premier, speaking for his
Coalition party, which carried the coun.
try, categorically promised that Germany
would be made to pay the entire cost of
the war.
The pledge was demagogic and, on
analysis, quite incredible. England, by
a large majority. however, was in the
mood to fool itself into believing it, The
opposition carefully pigeon-holed the
rash blunder for use at politically op-
perfume moment. That time has now
arisen, for, of course, the imposition of
any such indemnity is impossible.
Mr.. Lloyd George is thereupon exhib-
tied by one faction in the role Of
promise-breaker. His supporters, by in
nuendo, and lately by some direct utter
ances, are pointing to Mr.. Wilson as the
obstacle. English enthusiasm for the
President is said to be waning. This is
inevitable in circles seeking to justify
the British premier.
Naturally the infusion of domestic pol
itics into an international situation sim
ply piles on the agony. To large extent
it missed fire when American factional-
ism sought to becloud the league-of-
nations issue. But Lloyd George is a
more vulnerable target, placed in the
unenviable position of pleasing neither
those who tried to credit what he prom
ised or those who have been fighting him
right along.

HOW CHILDREN ARE KILLED

IN is difficult for small boy to resist
the temptation to steal ride on the
rear of truck when it is going his way.
Il is difficult for the driver of any
vehicle following the truck to stop in
time to keep from running over the boy
when he jumps down at the end of his
ride.
A large proportion of the serious acci-
dents in the streets arise from the boys
custom Of stealing rides.
Councils is considering bill to make
e unlawful for boys of school age to
climb on the rear of vehicles. A fine of
$26 is provided for the offenders and
fine of 500 for the truck driver who
permits the boys to ride.
This bill may not be in the proper
form, but some legislation is necessary
that will empower the police to prevent
the boys from risking their lives for the
sake of ride. Then the police must en-
force the law.

CONSIDER THE sCHUYLKILL

sT TNKEMPT banks, shabby wharves,
dump heaps, stockyards, unsightly
industrial plants between League Island
and Valley Forge all vanish in the pic
ture Of the bcautiied Schuylkll as drawn
w the Fairmount Park Art Association
Z in its recommendation for war memo
rial parkway.
The conception is rather breath
taking. The sprightly Joseph Pennell,
who is championing the much longer
commemorative highway--one across the
sentiment. in fact-calls it ''the grossest
foolishness." Nevertheless, it is stimu-
1ating to consider large-scale improve
ments. Often they are accomplished in
part and occasionally a really monu-
mental project gets executed.
Moreover, anything which directs at
xention to the artistic possibilities of the
6chuylkill is commendable. Nature has
been lavish with the historic stream, but
man, especially of late years, has failed
TO make the most of it's charms. N
The Chicago river is no more depress-
J Ing sight than the Schuylkiil south Of
the Fairmount waterworks. The stock
yards are only one Of it's disfgurements
Even in the park, needed embankment
work, notably on the east shore above
Eirard avenue bridge, has hung fire for
years. Railroads and huge ironworks
tr1ey havoc with the scene at the "Falls. /"
II may be years, if ever, before the
<tfemely comprehensive scheme of the
Ant Association takes completed form,
bit In the meantime any suggestion is
6etter than lack of interest in scenic
x>&sure. There are stretches where the
Ehrk itself has not treated it too re.
epectfulIy. They would be appropriate
places in which to begin the reform.

Arid Vest Virginia

WEST VIRGINIA statesmen have an in
w genuity, subtlety and humor that
make limited "dryness" almost Bacchic.
The Legislature has passed a bill restrict
ing to twenty-five gallons the wine that
any one person may make for himself in
year. Much, little enough, too much,
twill serve. The same bill makes 1t an
offense for a nonresident dealer In intoxi-
cants to sell any of them that he knows
are to be carried into West Virginia How
West Virginia is going to punish resi-
dents, how she is to prove that the nom
resident vender of sin knows whittier 1t is
to be directed-who knows?
The romantic charm of the measure,
however, is the provision giving state,
county and city officers authority to con-
fiscate all aircraft used for the purpose of
transporting liquor into the state or from
one place to another within the state"
