management concerning the league of
nations. "Marse Henry's" pen is still
brilliant, but it is old. 1t writes phrases
that are as archaic today as would be
any brief in support of the exploded
southern doctrine of state rights.
The situation is Illuminating not so
much for its exhibition of the truism that
wise men grow old as for its emphasis on
the heartening that the vital spirit of
any period is ever young. Ideas march
when even distinguished men stand still.
The real reason why Colonel Watterson
will not continue to write for the paper
in which for more than half a century he
addressed thousands of persons is that
the majority of his readers do not care
to hear him when he opposes world
league covenant.
Objections to details of the pact
abound, but antipathy to its general
principle is exceedingly faint.

A Printers Love Song


THE first time that met my wife
l. I simply could not keep from limiting
l had not seen in all my life !
Such an example of fine printing.
Her type is not some bold face font,
Set solid. Nay. And I will say oGt
That no typographer could want
To see a better balanced lay out.
A nice proportion of white space
There is for brown eyes to look large in
And not feature on her face
Comes anywhere too near the margin.
Her nose, in fine ITALIC CAPS,
Too lovely to describe by penpont:
Her mouth is set in pearl perhaps,
Her chin is comely Caslon ten-point.
Each ear, pink parenthesis,
Makes my heart come to heel and stay SO:
For such Typography as this
Is easy reading: well, I'll say so.
Of all typefounders I have met
Her fathers best. in my opinion:
She is my NONPAREIL, you bet,
And /, in lower case. her minion!

WOMEN AND HOME RULE

WHEN people begin to talk IN the
w churches on Sunday about the need
of charter revision it is time that those
who say no one is interested in the sub
iect should look about them.
They may say that the meeting in the
Uniyersalist Church of the Restoration
was "only woman's gathering" ad-
dressed by women, but their memories
cannot be so short that they have for
gotten how the women of the city inter
fered in a mayoraty campaign few
years ago with disastrous effect to the
plans of the politicians.
The address by Mrs. Nichols, president
of the New Century Club, was an ad-
mirable summary of the arguments for
the revision plan of the citizens COM
mittee. 1t is as difficult for woman to
understand why a city of about two
million people should have to go to the
state capital for permission to do things
as for her to understand why it should
be necessary for householder in West
Philade ,phia to ask householder in Ger
mantown for permission to change the
heating system of his house from hot
air to steam. Home rule is what every
woman believes in, both for her own
home and for her own city.
The women are demanding an i'm
provement in local conditions and they
will make their influence felt before the
business is ended.

determined to endure the catastrophe
and live it down in the long years ahead.
When Mr.. Wilson and the other dele
gates firmly crowded some of the
shiftier statesmen Of Europe and con.
tnued to crowd them in order that they
might not violate solemn pledges made
to this nation and to the rest of civilized
mankind in the most perilous days Of
the war, all snobdom in the United
States endured actual pain.
How crude it all was! How raw and
unconventional!
When the plain people of Europe rose
and did homage and applauded the sort
of Americanism which our peace delega-
tion represents the snobs on this side of
the world didn't understand the phe-
nomenon. They never will understand
it. They do not understand the sort Of
peace that America is endeavoring to
make, and they wouldn't like it If they
did understand it. The American theory
provides justice and consideration for
inferior and helpless people. The snob
can find no world complete that isn't
filled with people whom he can patronize
and offend for his own pleasure.
Arts and letters, politics and literature
and even the pulpits of the United States
have their sprinkling of snobs. These
are the Americans who have come
through the last few years without per-
ceiving the light. The magnificence of
our aims means nothing to them. They
do not know that we have done our ut
most not only to win the war but to
save the world from the utter ruin in
vited by the men and women of their
worship. They do not know that we
have actually supported rational phi
losophy as a novelty in the science of
government.
Perhaps the snob is himself helpless
He inherits his mind. He is made as he
is and in the final analysis may be
blameless, and even pitiful. In heaven
doubtless, he will lift nimble eyebrow
and assume cool and superior manner,
and do his utmost to make it appear that
he doesn't reside there-that he has just
dropped in for short stay during his
travels.

THE coMMoNEST LANGUAGE

EVERY indolent American will indorse
- the proposition of Arthur Elliot
Sproul made before the Poor Richard
Club, that English be adopted as the in
ternational language.
1t is much easier to ask foreigners to
learn to speak English than for Ameri-
cans to get a speaking knowledge of
foreign language. Mr.. Sproul has been
in Russia, where he discovered that
Americans equipped with only one Ian
guage had difficulty in making them
selves understood.
Every American soldier in France
would have been delighted if he could
have talked to the French in English,
and now that our soldiers are in Ger
many they are regretting that the Ger
mans speak German.
The way to solve the language prob
lem is for Americans to learn other
languages. Even our diplomatists go
abroad without knowledge of the coun-
try to which they are accredited.
The late Curtis Guild, that distin-
guished linguist of Boston, apologized to
the Gear for his inability to speak Rus
sian when he was sent to St. Petersburg
as the A-'erican ambassador. but he
offered to talk with Nicholas in French
or Spanish or Italian or German. The
Car, however, solved the problem by
remarking, Lets talk in English"
President Wilson himself knows so
little French that he has to speak to the
Frenchmen through an interpreter at the
Peace Conference. But the Chinese,
Japanese, French, German and Italian
diplomatic representatives to this coun-
try and to England speak English with
fuency.
Yet, after all, English is the prevailing
language of the western world and is
spoken by more than 150,000,000 people.
German comes next with 120,000,000. 1t
| is followed in this order by Russian,
French, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese.
Persons who can understand English can
be found in every corner of the globe, SO
that even the indolent Americans, who
will not take the trouble to learn an
other language, can find some one who
can understand them.

APRIL AuCuRlES

= ALMOST any festivities in April can
readily be, made commemorative if
the history book is consulted The choice
of the nineteenth day of this month for
the opening of the Victory Loan cam
paign may not, for instance, have been
consciously made with regard to the one
hundred and forty-fourth anniversary of
the battle of Lexington, yet there is
fruitful patriotic stimulus in the thought.
Philadelphia's picturesque mummers,
who will turn out in much greater force
than on last New Years Day, have an
excellent opportunity to revive Paul
Revere. His resuscitation for pageant
purposes would be entirely in keeping
with the spirit of the occasion.
Other anniversaries abound. The
Spanish War began in April and the
American civil conflict opened and closed
in that month. Shakespeare was born
On April 20 and he and his great con-
Temporary, Cervantes, died on the same
date in 1916. The United States en-
tered the titanic world conflict on April
4 S. 1917.
There is nothing sluggish about April
Even the weather, with its assortment OF
sunshine and rain, is apt to be lively.
There is, then, full precedent for ami,
nation in the loan drive. 1t is histori.
ca'iy seasonable. So also would be a
really decisive peace drive in Paris. Ir
fs.s piidst of alarms the calendar at leas,
backs she optimist.

Walt Whitman Gossip

WE HAD the pleasure of call from
w David H. Wright, the lawyer, who knew
Walt Whitman and Is thoroughly in accord
with our hope that Philadelphia will do
something to celebrate the centennial of its
greatest poet.
Mr.. Wright was schoolboy when he
first met Walt. in 1875. They happened to
be standing side by side at the gate of the
Camden ferry. waiting for boat. Young
David. WHO was on his way home to River
ton, had his books under his arm and the
bearded poet asked him, with twinkle,
, "What is a noun?'' THE name of per-
son, place or thing replied the hoy
promptly. They had friendly chat on the
ferry and David was much impressed by
the dignifed bearing of the PHILOSOPHER.
When he got home he told his. parents in
excitement that he had met an immensely
wealthy man. who would probably leave him
a million dollars in his will. Instead OF
which, says Mr.. Wright ''he left me
number of ideas which are always interest
ing
ALITTLE later the boy and the poet met
n again on the ferry. Walt had burnt his
hand poaching an egg and the boy expressed
polite sympathy. He told Walt about lit
tie play that had been given out in Riverton
in which four of Shakespeare's heroines
were represented-Juliet Ophelia, Rosalind
and a cordial friendship grew UP between
them. Young Wright used to visit the lit
tle house on Mickle street where Walt lived
in placid simplicity. surrounded by his
papers and books. They used to have tea
together under the wisteria vine in the back
ward. "Walt was always calm, digniied
and clean,' says Mr.. Wright. II never
hoard him swear or use a word that might
not have been uttered in Friends meeting
For seven years 1 had charge of the Quak<r
Mission st Beach and Fairmount, and
walt used to enjoy hearing the details of
NV work there among the drunks. l re-
member his giving me his stage ticket to
hear Sir Edwin Arnold speak in Camden.
/ was over at Mickle street just after Vic
tor Hugo's death, when Walt had Hugo s
picture pasted up in the window with a
little wreath around IT, Walt was a great
admrer of Hugo. He was huge like his
name" he said. Huge like the ocean. y
The other evening / heard Ilya Tolstoi
sneak. and il seems to me that he and
Risbop Leighton Coleman, of Delaware, and
Walt were three of kind-big, elemental
| men.

MAKING READING EASY

HUMAN eyes are too valuable to be
~ imperiled. Thus preach the advo-
Gates of safety first in factory and work
shop. The fact is indisputable.
The EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER has sub
scribed heartily to this and many other
precepts of the newer ideas in scientific
efficiency. We believe in practicng what
we preach.
All of which is preliminary to an ex-
preston of thanks to the many discern
iAg and observant readers who were
kind enough to congratulate US upon the
ilew type dress in which the paper ap-
peaEed for the first time yesterday We
appreciate the quickness with which our
readers appreciated the change and said
so in pleasant messages of encouraging
Strain.
The larger, clearer type in which al
solid text will be printed hereafter was
adopted after careful study and expert
ment. We are convinced that it will
meet unanimous approval by our read
ers since it will facilitate reading under
all changing conditions of lighting-in
street cars, on trains, in the home Or
now that the outdoor season is near
on the front porch.
Somebody with a turn for figures has
declared the American>1people rapidly
are becoming nation half-blind in the
physical sense, however far-seeing we
may be mentally, and the EVENING PUB.
IdC LEDGER intends to do its best in the
future to avoid responsibility for foster.

NATIONAL RIVALRY AT ITS BEST

AN ECHO from a distant era rever-
"A berates through the current rumor
that the Olympic games will be revived
next year. Few more cheerful sounds
have been heard since the whistles blew
on November II.
A revival of the great international
contests would mean that the world had
really returned to civilization and it was
fit once more to express national rival
ries in terms neither military nor naval
Fears that league of nations will make
patriotism obsolete would quickly van
ish if the series of brilliant athletic car
nivals is resumed.
There was time, be it remembered,
when Italy thought more of Dorando
than she did of Fiume and when Greece
exulted almost as proudly over her vic
tory in the Marathon race as she did
more than two millenniums ago over the
original battle
A sane and normal reconstruction of
affairs on this planet will be appreciably
stimulated by the revival of competi-
tions involving skill and Drawn by the
sort of clean and wholesome contests on
which a really healthy civilization
thrives.
Another lively race for the America s
cup should contribute to the recovery of
the worlds sense of proportion, SO
manned and distorted by the war; The
Olympic games would be an additional
potent factor. Antwerp is said to be
most favorably considered as the seat of
the carnival in 1920. There could be
genuine pride in peace pointing to such
a reassuring accomplishment.

THE LLNDENS

THE lindens step so gently up the hill,
L Like leisured, stately danes of long

For perfumes which he lavished on a

Trills love songs to the pink or daffodil.
And when the silver moon slips slowly by
To keep hoe tryst with some awaiting

And when it grows too dark to spy or peep
Inc lindens softly yawn and so to sleep.

THE CHAFFZINC DISH

better than we do. Those to whom Waits
poems would mean most very often can't
afford to pay a dollar for a book
MIR. WRIGHT is happy in having been
AY1 able to be of considerable service to the
young French newspaperman who trans
lated the French edition of Leaves of
Grass He met him in Paris some years
ago when the Frenchman was working on
the translation and was able to explain many
of Waits colloQuial Americanisms which
puzzled the foreigner greatly in his search
for the corresponding French word.
Mr.. Wright's own plan for celebrating
the centennial of his boyhood friend shows,
how well he has absorbed Waits kindly, all
embracing philosophy. He has just written
to Warden Mckenty, at the Eastern Peni-
tentiary, offering to give reading of Waits
poems to the prisoners on May 81, Walt S
Tooth birthday. 1t seems to us that this
would have pleased Walt more than any plan
we have heard.
We suggested year ago that a pleasant
memorial for Walt Whitman would be to
have one of the Camden ferry boats named
after him. Another idea has occurred to
us. Name a hotel for him. This is
practice that is already begun. The leading
hotel at Hannibal. Mo-, is the Mark Twain
and Greensboro, y. c., is now erecting the
Hotel O. Henry
