THE PEACE CALL

T AM the voice of the uplands ringing
L from hill to hill,
Calling you back to action; harken, and do
my will.
Put up your spear and saber, smother the
torch and brand, ....
Lay down your weapon Of warfare: come
back for peace is at hand.
Back to your reel<ing workshops, turning
again to toll;
Lift up the horn of plenty out of the tenn
ing soil
Shoulder the pick and shovel. kindle again
the hearth,
Scatter the wheat and barley over the
wasted earth.
For the cannon is hushed in the lowland.
the order has been withdrawn,
And the sound of disbanding armies echoes
from dark to dawn.
Up from the reeking by-ways come the
sons and daughters of men,
Beating their swords and shrapnel back
into p.ows again.
Over the waste of the valley the sound Of
an anvil rings,
And up from the fields Of carnage a blood
red poppy springs
And the shepherd is out on the hillside call
ing again to his sheep;
And the song of the busy sickle awakens
the earth from sleep.
Hark to the voice of the uplands, ringing
from deep to deep,
Calling to peaceful battle ere 1 again turn
to sleep.

SPROUL AS A STATE BOOMER

DENNsYLvANIANs, when they travel
=. over the improved highways, will be
surprised at our natural scenery, said Gov
ernor Sproul at the Terrapin Club dinner,
as well as at many other things of which
they know little.
There is no state which has a greater
diversity Of river and mountain landscape.
The beauty Of II is impressed on the travel.
er from the West. who has passed over
the fat and uninteresting scenery of Min
nesota and Indiana and Ohio before cross
ing the Pennsylvania boundary.
Even from the windows os the railroad
& rs the beauty of the scenery forces
n RI upon the attention. The cars run
through winding valleys between the
townE, with vistas opening into other val.
leys. The rivers ripple over the shadows
and widen into broad reaches Of placid
water. They skirt precipitous mountains
and water fertile plains. Some Of them
carry large volumes of commerce and they
'ali enrich the state in one way or another.
This scenery is not so familiar as It
should be because the roads leading
through 1t have not been easy to travel
Tor the man with a motorcar.
A system of well-made roads running
through the state from east to west and
from north to south will open up this de-
lightful territory TO the tourist and will
certainly attract to it thousands Of pleas
ure seekers who have gone farther in
search Of picturesqueness and Jared much

west Of 1t. The new roads will strengthen
the feeling Of pride in the state and will

SENATOR KNOX REFUTES HIMSELF


CENATOR KNOXS able legal argument
~ against the league-of-nations plan
proves too much.
Behind its technical criticism OF the
covenant drafted by the Paris committee
was a fundamental objection TO the as
sumption by the United States of the OBJ
legations involved in its ratification. It
would impair the sovereignty of the United
States. the Senator told US, and It would
involve us In future wars.
He suggested that instead OF entering
the league Of nations we make an alliance
with two great powers. presumably France
and England, in the interest of world
peace, or that we join in a league which
would include all the nations Of the world.
Now IL an alliance with nine powers
contemplated in the league plan, involves
. surrender of our sovereignty, it il dif-
f1cult to see how an alliance with two
powers or with all the other nations will
not involve the same kind of a surrender.
And IL we are to have an agreement
among the nations to preserve peace, even
though we have to fight for it, we do not
see how 1t is possible to form any kind of
2 league or alliance which will prevent
future wars altogether.

Once upon a time
II Happened at there was n little mice
Oak Park Hospital that lived with a lot
of other little mouses
In Chicago hospital And this little mice
said to his mother: Mother l have found
the incest nest and l think I'll get married
and start housekeeping there" And his
mother said, SHOW me-" And he did. where
upon she said. MY son. this is the bed of a
girl creature who being desperately afraid
of us, is consequently our deadliest enemy.
Choose nest elsewhere" But because the
girl creatures took things to eat TO their
bedrooms, toothsome things beloved OF little
mouses, the little mice and his bride started
housekeeping there and other little mouses
followed their example. And the girl crea-
lures who were nurses, discovered the ro-
dents and, after the manner of their kind,
screamed and fused and complained to the
management and at last went out on strike.
And, as a consequence, the beds were torn
up and the families of the little mouses
scattered; whereupon the mother of the
little mice who discovered the dormltory
said. There, my son. what did 1 tell you?
You may always depend on a woman to make
trouble"

INTERNATIONALISM
AND LABOR

THE most remarkable feature of the Berne
u conference of Socialists is the emphasis
which It places upon the new political situa-
tion In Europe. Responsible Socialism as
opposed to Bolshevism has become the Cen
ter party upon tho Continent, so far have
politics moved toward the left. Perhaps
the most interesting of all the discussions
at the conference was that which occupied
their last debate in which they defined their
attitude to the Bolshevik movement con-
demnlng any dictatorship Of a minority and
asserting that Socialism can only be ef-
fectvely developed under democratic law.
The Bolsheviks themselves would probably
admit as a matter Of principle that Socialism
is founded upon democracy that democracy
involves the representation of the whole peo-
pie and the prevalence of the will of the
majority. Bolshevlsm in practice, both as
IL is understood in Russia and also as it is
seen in Germany has meant the seizure OF
power by a class-conscous minority. who
claim the right TO act on behalf OF far
larger number of those who are not awakened
to their true interests as the Bolsheviks
understand them. Just as Rousseau held
that men might be forced to be Free so, 1t
would seem. the extremer revoutionists
would impose democracy. If necessary, in
opposition to democratic vote. This vio-
lent paradox has its consequences in actual,
or physical, violence.
The extremist on the one side is met by the
extremist on the other, and the moderate man
who wants society TO be maintained. who is
concerned with the immediate satisfaction of
his hunger or the pressing difficulty Of raw
materials. is inclined to drift away from
the reforming movement to which his perma-
nent interests incline him and rally round
any one who will secure the elements Of i'm
mediate order. Hence, as the conference very
we'll sees, the extreme developments in
Socialism play into the hands of reactionary
movements. At the same time the con-
ference addresses warning to the actual gov
ernments of the world. who. II they cannot
give It the assured tranquility for which It
is yearning, leave 1t to n seesaw of demo-
cratic or militarst violence.

Similar obligations devolve upon the

none the less emphatically upon the Phila.
