T,HE President has apparently reached
L the conclusion that conditions are
such that the wartime prohibition pro-
vided for in the act of November 81 is no
longer necessary. He says that demo
bilization of the military forces of the
country has progressed to such a point
that it seems to be entirely safe now to
remove the ban upon the manufacture
and sale of wines and beers" He asks
that this act be repealed, so far as 1t
applies to these beverages.
There does not seem to be any other
way out of it, if the ban is to be removed
in the near future. The act provides that
"until the conclusion of the present war
and thereafter until the termination of
Rehabilitation" the sale of various alco-
holic beverages shall stop, beginning on
July /.
The President is authorized to deter
mine the date of rehabilitation. He can
say that when the army is on a peace
footing-that is, without the necessary
supplies and equipment for carrying on
hostile operations-it is demobized. if
he chooses so to interpret the word. But
he cannot say when the war ended. We
are at war with Germany until we have
made peace, and peace is not made until
we have ratified peace treaty, and the
Senate must agree to the treaty before it
is ratified.
Therefore, it looks as if wartime pro-
hibition would be enforced until the peace
treaty is ratified, unless Congress modi-
fies the act of November 81. 1t is a very
pretty mix-up as it stands and the con-
gressmen do not seem to know what to
do with the red-hot poker graciously
offered to them.

ON THE LAST LAP

A DISPOSITION to agree to many of
4 the proposed changes in the charter
is manifest. The merit Of the sugges
tions of the committee of citizens is 50
great that it has had to be admitted by
those who at first opposed the whole pro
gram.
What difference of opinion persists is
over the adoption of changes which will
affect the political control of Councils
and will affect the business affairs of
political leaders.
Objection is raised to a Council of
twenty-one members. Mr.. Connolly has
argued in Harrisburg in favor of greater
representation than would be possible
with Council of twenty7pne for the
central district of the city iH which there
is small population, but a great number
of large office buildings, factories, thea
tres and hotels, apparently assuming
that the representation should be based
on the amount of brick and mortar piled
into structures rather than upon voting
population.
Senator Ware argues in favor of
greater representation for the northeast
section of the city, which consists largely
of vacant land, apparently on the theory
that representation should be based on
acreage rather than upon the number of
voters.
Neither objection commends itself to
logic. If any change in the size of the
proposed Council is made it should be
smaller instead of larger.
The contract plan as originally drafted
gives US a certain degree of home rule
and is directed primarily at the evils
that have arisen under the present sys-
ter.
Home rule is what the city needs. If
it were possible for the Legisl slature to
pass an act permitting the city to appoint
commission to draft it's own charter and
then submit the completed document to
the voters for their approval, as is done
in Michigan and other states, all the
questions which are now vexing the
Legislature would be threshed out here
at home, and we should have only our
selves to blame for any abuses which
| developed For under an act which per-
mitted US to make our own charter we
| could also cure the abuses by amending
it without having to go to Harrisburg.
The talk of the metropolitan police
commission will not down. 1t is even
intimated that there are men hoping to
be able to jam through the Legislature a
| bill authorizing the Governor to appoint
police commissioner for this city. The
Governor is on record as opposing such
an interference with our own control
over our own affairs. And there are
citizens of this town alert to the danger
who will oppose the plan to the last
ditch.
The thing to congratulate ourselves on
now is that charter revision, originating
| in suggestions from a committee of rep.
resentative citizens, is morally certain

propaganda, which precedes the newt
able day when Germany must pay the
piper for her mad dance. So wild and
wide of the mark is her present maneu-
vering that she actually calls upon
Americans to reread Secretary Lansings
note of November a, 1918. Once again it
is the easiest thing in the world to oblige
her. 1t calls upon not spark of "cour-

COMMON LAW SENSE

A DECREE entered by Judge Rogers in
4 = the Court of Common Pleas demon
strates an interesting point concerning
tenants and landlords. A tenant rented
an apartment at a sum six hundred dol
lars less than the amount set forth in
the lease, the amount in the lease being
what the other tenants were paying.
Then the owner sold the property and the
new landlord tried to equalize the rents
by making the tenant pay for elevator
and telephone service, the same being
free to other tenants. The tenant re-
fused to pay and he was forbidden the
use of the telephone and the elevator.
Then he entered suit
The decree sets forth that service fur
nished by a landlord in an apartment
house cannot be lawfully denied one
tenant and supplied to others because
that tenant refuses to pay more for the
service than is called for under the lease.
With that decision few will find fault,

cold-storage people it should, of course,
be promptly killed.
On its face there might be good reason
for extending the time limit for holding
foodstuff in storage, and there is argu-
ment in its favor in the suggestion OF its
sternest critic that food that has reached
its storage limit of time, under the pres
ent law, should, if wholesome, be sold
and not destroyed.
There will be general agreement with
the declaration of DR.. Charles H. La Wall,
however, that any cold-storage act that
fails to protect the public by marking
the package with the date on which it
was sealed is feeble and valueless.
Cold storage is an excellent thing in
that it enables producers to keep food
until it is needed. 1t is damnable thing
when it enables profteers to hold food
for rise in price. 1t is the duty of our
legislators to find out where virtue ends
and wickedness begins.

4 VERNAL MORNING

T HAVE in mind n morn in May
L Fit for a rhymer's holiday;
A morning with no cloud to mar
A climbing hill slope near or far,
One sweet with the alluring spell
Of dawn distilled hydromel
On such a morn I'll take my scrip
And staff, and for companionshp
I'll have brook of friendly tone
Until | wish to be alone;
Yet solitude where may one find
When there is company in the wind,
In the clear piping of the quail.
In whispering grass or galingale,
Or any living, growing thing,
In this serene high tide of spring
Then, latterly, path III choose
Still dedicated to the dews
That CLINT on leaf and thin rush blade
Like tiny gobules cut in jade.
And so at last, for my reward,
I'll find n strip of sunny sward
Within a glade deep hidden where
A boulder offers me a chair;
And there I'll sit and wait for Pan,
With all his cloven footed clan,
To come and laugh and shout and sing,
And dance about me in ring.
Aye, there I'll rest, rover free,
And dream I'm back in Already.
