Damon Sproul, PythidS Palmer

Governor Sproul, otherwise Bill"
and United States Attorney General
Palmer, otherwise Mitch" chums
at Swarthmore, hobnobbed at the
commencement exercises of the old
college this week. Here is the way
the president introduced them:
You are favored In having at
your two academic occasions, bacca-
laureate and commencement, the
Governor of Pennsylvania and the
Attorney General of the United
States. 1t would have been a men,
orable event at any commencement
season to have had the Governor of
this State and the Attorney General
of the United States, the one the
most important political officer in
a great Commonwealth of over
seven million, the other holding per-
haps the highest political office
which a lawyer in the United States
can attain.
when we remind ourselves that
these dignitaries Cor distinguished
mem are just plain William and
Mitchell or more Familiarity Bill
and Mitch that they are class
mates who have not allowed politi-
cal differences to interfere with
their fine friendship; that they both
are Swarthmore alumni, who, in
season and out of season, recognize
their debt of gratitude to our college
and are never too busy to give her
and her children a helping hand;
and that they are now giving to the
State and nation by precept and ex-
ample those very ideals of coop
Grafton and service for which
Swarthmore has stood from her
foundation; when we remember
these things. this event stands out
as unique in the history of the col
lege.: 1t should be an inspiration to
you and vitally help you to realize
something of what your opportunity
may be if you each lay out a pro-
gram of life in harmony with the
teaching and training which 1t has
been your privilege to secure at
Swa rthmore"

A P. R. R. PRODUCT

A WRITER. in the New York
II Sun, commenting upon the
election of Samuel NJ. Vau-
CLAIM to the presidency of the Bald
win Locomotive Works, recalls that
not so many years ago Sam" was
sylvania Railroad shops at Altoona.
And so, indeed, he was, as many n
veteran of the Middle division will
tell you, for Vauclain was at one
years later was recognized from
Altoona to Harrisburg as the best
engine mechanic on the division"
AS such he got out of trouble more
than one locomotive manned by
engineers older than himself, most
of whom are now on the retired list.
All of which points anew the les
son that opportunity is not dead in
day may be the corporation presi-
dent of tomorrow, that advance
ment comes as the reward of indi-
vidual effort and ability and that
poverty and riches are next door
neighbors in America. Also. this
phenomenal rise of the former ma
'nist's helper is seriously in con-
with some very popu ar notions
cf compulsory education. for at six
teen. when most of his companions
were at school, Vauclain was clean.

From there to Colum bia, on the Sus-
quehanna. sectional canal-boats and
railway cars were hauled on wheeled
trucks. There the boats were
pinned together and towed up the
Susquehanna and Juniata rivers to
Hollidaysburg. Here they were put
on an inclined railway, dragged up
the mountain by steam winches and
let down by the same method to
Johnstown. From there they pro-
ceeded to Pittsburgh through the
Conemaugh, KiSkiminetas and Allie
gneny rivers.
Waging a Losing Battle
1nadequately constructed to meet
the competition of the railroads, as
the latter transportation facilities
improved and expanded, the canal
system began to fail and now is
practically in ruins. Everywhere
canal-boats, relics of remarkable
era But recently the strain of the
tremendous volume of local and
through traffic is too great, even
for the splendid railroad systems of
the State, and there is a strong
movement to rehabilitate the canal
system and to extend it.
Tentative plans have been formu-
lated to connect Pittsburgh with
Lake Erie by canal which will
touch Ohio at Beaver, enabling the
ores from Minnesota and Michigan
to come into the Pittsburgh district
by water. and the coal from the BIZ
luminous regions to float practically
from the mouth of the mine to the
Northwest. Plans have also been
made to bring Philadelphia into
touch with New York waters by a
canal across Jersey from the Della
ware at Trenton. to Raritan Bay at
South Amboy.
1t is almost impossible for the
layman to realize what vast advan-
tage there is in canal transportation
for heavy and slow freight. 1t costs
but little more to bring ore from
Duluth, at the head of the fresh
water seas, to Erie and Conneaut
and Ashtabula, nearly a thousand
miles, than it costs to haul it from
the Erie ore piles to the Pittsburgh
furnaces, less than 125 miles.
Cutting Down the Disease Harvest
In matters of health Pennsylvania
has always been one of the forward
looking States. 1t long ago came
to realize the Commonwealth which
is willing to give its sanitarians ade-
quate support can go before the
world with a clean health slate. In
1906 the States typhoid death rate
was 56.5 persons for each 100. 900
population. In 1915 it was 1872. Iii
ciher words. Pennsylvania's health
agencies are rescuing 300 people
from typhoid graves every year.
T'ne same situation prevails with
refer ence to tuberculosis. In 1907,
1895 persons died of that disease
n,it of each 100000 population. In
1917 thee were only 97.S such
deaths-a rescue of $500 people
from tIbercular ends each year.

Mr.. Wilson uniformed

[From the Chicago Tribune.1
If Mr.. Wilson had ever served at
the front in the, war, he would not
have said that our soldiers died for
a cause not strictly their own, but
for the cause of humanity and man
kind. 1t is not that soldiers are less
altruistic than civilians. Indeed, in
the constant presence of death, they
reach a spiritual development that
the civilians perhaps do not attain.
The American infantry did not
charge through the German barrage
to create a mandatory in Armenia.
The artillery did not serve its guns
to the death in lethal gases to obtain
elf-determination for Fiume. Our
soldiers fought and gave their lives
for their own country, for their
America that it might live. Our SOL
diers died for their country. What
the living will do about the peace
treaty is a different subject. To
attach it to our reverence for the
departed smacks of impiety.

"Bleeding Kansas"

[From the. Hartford, Conn. Times ]
Kansas is still bleeding. Latest
bulletins concerning it's condition are
of general interest. Apparently the
Agricultural Departments forecast
of a wheat crop of 1877 million
bushels was not an exaggeration.
A prospect of 400 million dollars
pouring into a State of less than two
million people for wheat alone is
one to move the stoutest heart. The
great soul of the Nation is stirred
for bleeding Kansas. The sympathy
of sellers of tractors and motor
trucks and pleasure cars and air.
planes will be especially excited. A
great multitude of mobile persons
will come from all parts of the
country to aid in staunching the
wounds of Kansas. For that which
exudes from Kansas wounds now
is good, warm cash.

The TUO Fountains

I saw, from yonder silent cave,
Two fountains running hide by
side;
The one was Memory's limpid wave
The other cold Oblivions tide.
20 love" said l, in thoughtless
dream,
Here in this dark and chilly ctream,
Be all my pains forgot at last"
But who could bear that gloomy
blank,
Where joy was lost as well rs
pain?
Quickly of Memory's fount 1 drank,
And brought the past all back
again;
And said, 20 love. what'er my lot
Still let this soul to thee be true
Rather than have one bliss forgot
Be all my pains remembers d,
too!"
Thomas Moore.

LEGISLATORS and the LdW

From Pittsburgh Times
Legislators who hold law in con-
tempt cannot expect the people to
respect either themselves or the laws
they enact. Members of the Penn
sylvania General Assembly would do
we'll to give some thought to that.
Having done so, let them hasten to
provide for enforcement of national
prohibition. The tricks they are
playing with this essential legisla-
ton do them no credit, will bring
the Commonwealth into disrespect
and in invite trouble that should
not be courted.
1t is nothing less than self-stul-
tification for the Legislature which
gave it's approval to the prohibition
amendment to refuse or neglect to
make provision for its enforcement.
In the end, to be sure. 1t will make
little difference, so far as law en-
forcement is concerned, whether the
Pennsylvania lawmakers have acted
as they Should or not. The prohibi-
ton law will be enforced. Tt may
be, and very probably will be, vio-
lated for a period after January 16
next. That, however, will not be the
fault of the amendment. And it will
not convince any sensible persons
that prohibition is unenforcible.
Simply it will create a demand that
cannot be ignored for the perform
ance of duty by the public authori-
ties. The next Legislature will have
to pass an enforcing bill and 1t will
be distinguished for the absence of
anything promotive~ of evasion of
the fundamental law. For one thing,
it is highly probable that the MEM
bers who are now so busy striving
to prevent enforcement of prohibi-
ton will not be permitted to have
hand in the work two years hence.
That also is worthy of consideration
by the gentlemen at Harrisburg. The
present course finally will react most
severely on those responsible for it.

the following prayer, copy of
which was recently sent to Mrs.
Hector Baxter. of Minneapolis,
Mimi. by neighbor of the Roose-
Welt family, was found in private

Teach us, good Lord, to serve
Thee as Thou deservedst, to give and
not to count the cost: to fight and
not to heed the wounds; to toll and
not to seek for rest; to labor and
not to ask for any reward. save that
of knowing that we do Thy will;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen

Continued From Yesterday
The RoIIcaII of Counties


From the Maryland line to the
New York line is 15S miles. while
from the Ohio line to the deepest
salient in the Delaware River sec
tor, between Trenton and Bristol, is
S06 miles. The diversity of physical
aspect, soil, and resource is great.
Southeast of the Blue Ridge Noun
tains lies one of the finest agricul-
tural regions east of the Appalach-
ian chain. Franklin, Adams, Cum
berland, York, Lancaster. Lebanon,
Berks, Bucks, Montgomery. Chester
and Delaware-was there ever a
group of counties with fairer farms
than these possess?
Then come the eastern mountains
and beyond, the wonderful success
sion of ridge and hollow that en-
braces the anthracite mines, the
slate quarries, the cement rock beds,
and so much else of the States re-
sources. Further westward is the
great Allegheny upland region.
whose deposits of bituminous coal
are richer than all the gold mines
of the earth.
4 Canal Equipped With Amphibious
Boats
A high plain. undulating in wide,
low swells and gently descending
southwark and southwestward. this
area comprises more than half of
the territory of the State. Its oil
and its gas have been almost eX-
hausted under the demands of in
dustry, but it's coal mines go on
and on. yielding more fuel in a year
than all the world produced at the
beginning of the American Civil
War.
With its unequaled situation as
respects the navigable waters of the
nation. it was but natural that
Pennsylvania should have early
taken steps to develop her inland
waterways. A hundred million dol
lars were spent in the building of
canals to handle the States COM
merce. Public appropriations and
private funds alike were made
available for the building of a net
work of waterways. AS time went
on, these spread out over the State
like the branches of a tree.
The Schuylkill Navigation Com
pany built a 10S-mile canal up the
Schuylkill river, and at one time
had a thousand boats in operation.
The Union Canal, from Middletown
to Reading by way of Lebanon. was
seventy-sev miles long, with a
twenty -two-mile branch. 1t had
more than a hundred lift-locks
Sixteen of these were in a tunnel
just west of Lebanon, carrying the
canal to Swatara creek. The Mo-
nongahela was canalized by the con-
struction of sixteen dams in order
to form slackwater navigation.
The Main Line Canal. connecting
Philadelphia with Pittsburgh. was
in reality half canal and half rail-
| way. The journey began at Broad
| and Vine streets. PHILADELPHIA

ing fiues and polishing the brass
work on engines in the Altoona
roundhouse. Vauclain, however,
was not an ordinary lad, for after
twelve hours in the shops, he spent
his evenings in study of technical
subjects, so that what he missed OF
common school education he gained
in specialization. That kind of life,
plus brains and energy. will take a
boy anywhere he aspires to so.
But Sam" Vauclain is not the
only captain of industry the Altoona
shops has produced. What a re-
union it would be if they all got
ogether-Major General w. W.
Atterbury. who was a vital factor
in winning the World War while in
charge of all the American railroads
in France; Gen. Sir Henry Worth
Thornton, placed by Great Britain at
the head of the Great Eastern Rail-
way. and another war winner; Sam
uel Rea, president of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, not to mention
Alexander j. Cassatt, former presi-
host of others who have made their
mark and their fortunes in the
railroad world. The "Pennsy" re-
cruits from the ranks and merit is
the watchword of those who are
constantly on the lookout for men
to fill important places. There is
nothing miraculous about Vauclain's s
advance. He is the logical product
of his own industry, ability and
am mbition.

WHY THEY CRITICISE

THE Telegraph is in daily receipt
of letters from its readers favor
- ing or opposing President Will
sons course in the matter of the
League of Nations. One anonymous
writer urges US. to come out strong
against everything Wilsonian.' -
These communications are not al
ways in good temper, but they serve
to demonstrate the interest of the
American public in what is going on
at Paris.
President wilson's apologists are
constantly excusing his weather
vane tactics, but the average Ameri-
can is not going to overlook the
Presidents inconsistencies and his
fragrant disregard of the rights of
the United States Senate, a co-ordin-
ate branch of the Government in the
making of treaties. The people had
a right to expect that his repeated
declarations in favor of open COW
enants openly arrived at would be
observed in the peace negotiations.
but instead of frankly taking the
people into his confidence. he has
been responsible for repeated efforts
to keep his countrymen in the dark.
There are those who will continue
to criticise the attitude of the United
States Senators, but these critics
must remember that a grave obliga-
ton rests upon the upper branch
of Congress and its responsibility
cannot be shifted on the score of
patriotism or any other pretext The
people of the United States have a
right to expect that the Senate will
discharge its full duty in this criti-
cal hour and without reference to
the ruffied feelings of President Will
son or those who believe that he is
a super-man, in spite of his frequent
changes of front on vital features OF
the peace treaty and the incidental
League of Nations.

SPROUL AND ADVICE

~ OVERNOR SPROUL in an ad-
dress at the commencement
exercises at Swarthmore Col
lege declared that he would not
give much advice, because he got
too much of it himself and yet had
none to spare. He suggested as an
American weakness the free distri-
button of advice in large quantities
and significantly observed that every
citizen knows better how to run
the Government than those entrust-
ed with the duty" He thought this
was a good thing, however, as it
showed interest. He told the stu
dents and those gathered for the day
that his daily correspondence was
an instructive lesson in human ma
ture, inasmuch as he got advice up
on every possible subject.
Manifestly, the Governor is find
ing his large experience in public
life on Capitol Hill valuable in
shielding him from the amateur ex-
perts in government and political
reform. In his Swarthmore speech
he urged the people to stand firmly
for the tried and proven American
institutions and not be carried into
the currents of impractical and ut
terly impossible theories of govern
ment. He appealed strongly against
all false teaching and left for the
people this pregnant thought:
Where the spirit of the Lord is,
there is liberty"
