Loss of Appetite.

AS a general rule there is nothing
serious about a loss of appetite. and
if you skip a meal or only eat two
meals a day for a few days you will
soon have a relish for your meals
when meal time comes. Bear in mind
that at least five hours should always
elapse between meals SO as to give
the food ample time to digest and the
stomach a period of rest before a
second meal is taken. Then II you eat
no more than you crave and take a
reasonable amount of outdoor exer-
else every day you will not need to
worry about your appetite. When
the loss of appetite is caused by con-
stipation as is often the case. that
should be corrected at once. A dose
of ChamberIain's Tablets will do it.

AN ARMY WITH BANNERS

WE DO not suppose that the eighty
w thousand shipworkcrs who parade
today expect that the Delaware river
shipyards will continue to be as busy in
peace times as they have been in war
times.
They are too intelligent and too rea-
sonable to expect any such thing.
1t is not unreasonable, however, for
them and for the rest of US to expect that
Congress will take such action as will
keep the shipyards busy for long years
in the future.
The nation wishes the revival of its
merchant marine. 1t cannot be revived
without the cooperation of Congress
Men differ about what Congress should
do but they do not differ on the necessity
of action of some kind.
The men paradng today are primarily
interested in keeping at work in their
present jobs. By marching with bands
and banners setting forth their wishes
they have adopted a plan which will i'm
press Congress with the urgent nature
of the problem before it.

There are Republican machinists and
Democratic machnists and Socialist ma
chinists, and there are members of all
parties working as carpenters and brick
layers and tailors and printers and steel
rollers. They are Americans first OF all,
which means that they believe that one
man is as good as any other man, and
that it is as wrong to organize party OF

party exclusively of lawyers, or clergy
men, or millionaires, or rcl-haired men,
or men with warts on their noses.
The present active leaders of the state
federation may succeed in creating the
shell of labor party, but unless all
precedents fail their attempt will either
disrupt the federation or the plan will
be scrapped before it goes much further.

HEROISM AND MODESTY

A HERO is soldier who has been found
~ out.
Modesty is ones ability to conceal ones
own opinion of oneself,
We are as pleased to find hero as we
are to find an honest man. Both are as
common as the occasions that give them
proof
"'rhe heroes" we read of in the public
prints "were as modest as heroes usually
are" Bless their hearts, that's the way
we want EN-! But why should they be
otherwise? Their deeds speak for them
The thing they did are the dandiest
little press agents that ever happened.
A star baseball player doesn't have to
brag-but did you ever notice any modest
reticence about a golf player who has
gone over the course by his little lone

IF additional arguments Were needed to
convince the Legislature Of the need
for changing the present fiscal system of
the city they would be furnished by the
proposed $l475O000 municipal loan bill
just approved by Councils.
More than a fifth of this sum is to pay
for items which ought to be covered by
current revenue. They include repairs to
streets, fire houses and police stations
and mandamuses like those issued to pay
salaries in the Municipal Court, over
which Councils have no jurisdiction.
They would saddle debt of some three
million dollars on the taxpayers for fifty
years, requiring nine million dollars
eventually to liquidate interest and amor
tization charges.
What .'ould any business man say
about railroad board which sought
fifty-year bond issue to pay for coal con-
sumed in firing locomotives or of mer-
chant who capitalized a debt for mer-
chandise stock in such way? Yet that
is comparatively the same resort as the
councilmanic fnanciers are forced willy
nilly to adopt under the present anti
qiated system.
The worst of it is that such condition
is entirely unnecessary in city so well
off as this. We have plenty of money to
pay our debts, but we don't properly man
age. The charter-revision plan would do
the trick.
Isn't it high time for a change in this
doddering, mossback, penny-in-a- pig
bank policy?

and towns of the great Philadelphia dis
trict compose an Industrial and CONNER
cial unit the bridge must be one of the
most powerful.
The surcease from ferry charges and
the inmeasurable convenience of trans
portation without change between this
city and Camden will be superlatively
gratifying. But, in addition to these
potent material gains, there is psychic
aspect to the work more valuable than
tons of documentary testimony as to the
intrinsic solidarity of this popuous do
main. A bridge will compel the inhabi.
tants of this region to think straight.
The blow to medievalism, surviving
from the days when neighbor cities re-
garded themselves both as self-sufficient
and as natural enemies, will be final.
The old wars between municipalities so
near together, for instance, as Pisa and
Florence, seem almost ludicrous now and
scarcely comprehensive. The claims of
corporations virtues appear incontro-
vertibly valid.
Yet in different form, but based upon
the same false premise, is the fallacy
that the thriving towns in this vicinity
are to some extent rivals rather than
partners. "Annexation' plans have moth
ing to do with the question. Perhaps
Philadelphia county needs an extension
of boundary lines. The subject is com
pleX and will, in the course of time work
itself out just as did the consolidation
plan of 1854.
But the necessity for union in the
broader and even more significant sense
is simple. Any stranger could easily
sense the fact that the Delaware river
community is homogeneous. 1t is the
home folks who require illumination.
The bridge will cast the requisite efful-
gcnCe almost before we are aware of the
spiritual change. Thinking in formulas
of partnership may have certain piquant
results, but they will be harmless and
amusing, rather than subversive of the
prime accomplishment.
Nobody really minds if the commuter
from Newark calls himself a New Yorker.
1t merely accentuates the majesty and
comprehensiveness of that first popula-
tion and industrial center of the union.
Philadelphia is the handiest name in
use here. "Philadelphians" from Chester
or Camden would have a warlantable
title. The bridge will demolish many
other things besides the Wenonah and
Beverly. And in the near future in which
the span must be flung across the Della
ware, let it be said of carnival-seeking
"Philadelphians" from another state that
they merely walked up the street to see
the show.

A MISTAKEN LABOR PLAN

IF 1T had been possible to consult Ter
renee V. Powderly it is not likely that
the convention of the Pennsylvania Fed
Grafton of Labor would have adopted
resolution calling for the creation of a
labor party. Powderly could have told the
delegates what happens to a great labor
organization when it NEEDLES with
politics.
The Knights of Labor, of which Pow
derly was long the head, was organ
lied by some Philadelphia tailors about
fifty years ago. The association grew
until it had a million members and it's
leaders began to think of the political
possibilities that lay in swinging the
votes of so many men. They did their
best to develop the feeling of class con-
sciousness and to arraign the members
of their organization against their en-
ployers. They tied themselves up with
the Farmers Alliance and tried to unite
the farmers and the mechanics.
They discovered that the political opin-
ions of mechanics varies as widely as the
political opinions of church members and
hat il is as hopeless to create a solid
labor block as everybody knows it is to
create a solid church-member political
block. American society is not fixed in
geological or sociological strata. The
Knights. of Labor began to lose their
membership and their influence as soon
as their leaders attempted to make the
ofeanizstion political party. Labor
