Destroying the Constitution.

The first objective of this class, now
become dangerously numerous in this
country, is to destroy the system of
constitutional government az ogether.
Its vulnerable point is the provision
for constitutional amendment. When
the barriers to facile change are once
swept away, the process of demolition
will be very simple and very rapid.
As a paper seized in one of the
schools of communism reads ut is
hoped that the proletariat will con
quer his enemy the capitalist class,
with as little bloodshed as possible"
If the guarantees of the Constitution
can be gradually destroyed, the revo-
luton will be readily accomplished
whenever an active and persistent
minority chooses to impose it. If
there is not in the American people
enough perception to these designs
and courage to resist them in their
beginnings, the last acts of intimida-
ton promise to be very summary

MR.. LODGE OPENS ERE

THE central contention made in Mr..
L Lodges speech yesterday was that
the United States cannot afford to med
die in the affairs of Europe.
This conviction has come TO the Mas
sachusetts senator rather late.
Mr.. Lodge, if memory serves, was one
of the earliest advocates Of our war upon
Germany.
The league of nations is the one
method that can re-establish order and
q sense of security and hope of stable
peace in Europe. If the United States
refuses it's cooperation our honor the
lives We spent, the billions that the war
cost US and, perhaps, the ten billions
which Europe still owes US, may 90 to-
gether to the limbo of things hopelessly
lost
New times demand new methods. Mr..
Lodges mind dwells in the past. If it is
wrong for US to meddle in Europe now
why was it right for US to NEEDLE in the
beginning?

TRAVELS OF TWO PRINCES

THE visit to America of Albert Ed
L ward in 1860 created a furore. The
arrival of Albert Edward in 1919 is
hailed with warm interest, but without
the slightest tensity of excitement. This
does not mean indifference to Great
Britain and her relationship to this coun-
try, but actually the exact opposite.
The prospective Edward VII was first
of all a curiosity, representative of a
country regarded as having long played
role of enmity or envy toward our own.
! The prospective Edward VIII symbolizes
a national companion in arms, a friend
and enlightened coworker in behalf of
peace and the best interests of civliza-
tion.
Possibly George Windsor himself
J could not arouse on a journey here any
thing like the unwonted emotionalsm
that accompanied his fathers visit. The
two allies are no longer misunderstood
oddities toward each other. Their har-
mony of purpose and comprehension
make less for sensationalism and more
for sanity and steady world progress.

-. HIGH COST IN CONGRESS

TROUBLE was never thicker about the
= heads of the British Government than
1t is at this moment, yet Parliament, sit
ting in the midst of political turmoil, has
found it possible to start a swift and
effective movement of sort that is GER
tain to bring down the cost of living in
England and the neighboring isles.
The British have a talent for getting
into trouble. They have a greater talent
for getting out of it. Statesmen of the
first class in Britain refuse to meddle
with the little protiteers. They are after
the big ones and they aren't afraid to
name names and pass laws that will cut
to the root of the matter
There are signs in Washington that
Congress is preparing to adopt another
course. In the House and Senate there
are omens of a further period of argu-
ment and oratory.
There are a good many men in Wash
-ington who know how to eat their own
words and thrive on the diet But the
rest of the country hasn't that knack.
1t wants more nOurishing food and it
wants it at fair price, and the sooner
Congress realizes this the better it will
be for everybody.

certain quarters for new deal. The
outcome will depend on the extent Of the
interest and its genuineness. There is
not the slightest doubt that we can have
here exactly the kind of government we
desire, any more than there is that we
have had the kind of government in the
past that we have desired-and de-
served.
1t is eternally true that when real
issue is presented to the people they
make their voice heard in no uncertain
way. But they cannot be fooled into
believing that the issue is real when it is
only cooked up as pretext to assist one
group of ofiice-hungry men to GUST an
other group of the same kind or to keep
in office one set Of men which another
set of men is seeking to oust for selfish
reasons.
The mass Of the voters take no serious
interest in such contests. They are
"really interested" to use Mr.. Carnegie's
phrase, only when there is a real issue.

MYSTERY OF THE TRoLLEys

A THOUGH the new pay -as-you-
: leave" trolleys, with their facilities
for loading and unloading simulta-
neously, display the march of ingenuity,
they none the less indicate the mys-
terious and growing penchant of the
transit company for taciturnty. Just
why placarded information concerning
the routes of Us cars should be so ieal-
ously withheld is not clear Perhaps
fashion rules in the transportation world
as elsewhere, and the present mode is
simplicity-so economical that it is con-
fusing.
Back in the frank old proclamatory
days cars were distinguishable both by
the colors of the vehicles and by ample
and explicit signs concerning their es-
tablished courses. Then the hue key van
ished and the explanations became more
sneager The number system was excel
lent, but its virtue lay partly in the fact
that an inside card answered all ques-
lions.
Health advice replaced chat lucid resi-
due. There still remained the terse
terminus sign on the front and few ad-
flitional words of information on the
side. These last have now vanished in

TWO WOMEN

D1TY her not who at the bright days close
l. Weeps Ger the petals of long dead rose,
A rose that in some treasured volume lies
Faded, but precious for It's memories. -.
Gently her tears fall on the petals pale
That in the past such fragrance did exhale.
Her youth is gone, and Love will ne,er
return
To lips where unforgotten kisses burn.
Nay, pity her who in a chamber dim
Sits desolate, and listening to no hymn
OF love from out the long dead bygone years,
Who hath no token to bedew with tears,
To whom the perfume of faded flower
Returns not ghostlike in the twilight hour,
All pity her whose sad lips pale and cold
Warm to no memory of love long told.

wandered about with us and listened kindly
to all our spasms of reminiscence. We both
agreed that the old mill, doing in the sun
light, with the pale and tremulous simmer
of blue light in the porch where Mr.. Floun-
ders was working, was a fit subject for some
artists brush.
MTE DID not fail to admire the remark
w able old house across the road, where
Mr.. Founders lives. 1t is built in three
portions: a wooden lean to, a very ancient
section of whitewashed logs (Which must be
some 200 years old and then the largest
part, of the dappled stone of various colors
so familiar to Pennsylvania rambers.
Nothing can be more delightful in the rich
tint OF afternoon light than that medley OF
brown, gray, yellow and ochre stonework.
We pointed out the little side road that we
were to follow, running up the valley of
the creek, past reddening apple orchards and
along the meadows past the swimming pool.
And then the Soothsayer paid us genuine
compliment. Lets take down the top"

way to learn whittier the car is going
