THE FIRST SHADFLY

vrTE flicked a shadfly from the
Wv back of our editorial neck
and it fluttered down into a
plate of soup at luncheon yesterday
Did we rave and call down male
dictions on the head of the untortu-
nate intruding insect? No, indeed
by no means. We fished him from
his precarious footing on a hall-
submerged noodle, placed him on a
napkin. tenderly divested him OIL
such particles of consomme as was
possible, addressed him in kindly
fashion, apologized for unintentional
rough treatment and sent him limp
ingly on his way with benediction
and best wishes for a pleasant jour-
ney.
And why. you ask. all this con-
sideration for a humble shadtiy'
Well, maybe it was bit overdone
and perhaps we shall not be SO
benefcently inclined another time.
But that shadfly meant a lot to U.S.
You see, he was the first we had
seen this season. He wasn't just
plain shadfly. He was a harbinger
of spring. He brought with him
such prospectus of outdoor de-
lights and diversions as would put
the most gorgeous seed catalog or
summer resort circular to shame.
First the shadfly, and after him
the robins and the bluebirds and
the blackbirds And then it will
be time to rake the lawn and spade
the garden, turning up the seeded
and wrecking the peace of mind Oh
countless fishing worms. Ha! Now
you're talking! Fishing worms.
You said a mouthful that time, boy.
Chuck the rake back of the porch,
leave the spade in the furrow, grab
your rod and line and run. Make
for the nearest creek, for the suck
ers are running and nothing else on
earth matters. Down by the big
eddy and UP stream a little farther,
where the brook comes tumbling in,
big, fat, black suckers are lined up
in rows like soldiers at drill await
ing your tempting red worm. The
sun is warm overhead, the grass has
a "springy' smell, the swamp
cabbage is beginning to show signs
of life, a baby garter snake pauses
to study with beady eyes the white,
fleecy clouds in the sunny blue sky
overhead, and you and your soul are
at peace again in the great outdoors.
There. That's what one shadfly
will do for a fellow. Do you Won
der now why we fshed him out of
the soup?

Il Word to Heroes
FROM LIFE.

uation you had to meet, and you
reached for it and put it on like u
garment.
1t is a good garment Keep it on!
1t is becoming. You know the war
is not yet over. Peace is not signed
yet, but even when peace is signed
the war will not be over. 1t will
hardly be over in your lifetime. The
war has shaken all the habits and
all the old arrangements of this
world. There is ahead an immense
readjustment. All you heroes feel,
one hears, that your old jobs are
not good enough for you. Probably
they are not. If you got out of the
war what there was in it for you,
you are much bigger men than when
you went in, and would probably
find your old jobs a tight fit. But
when a mans job becomes a tight
fit it cracks down the back and he
usually gets one that is more COM
modious.
You are not the same as you were
before the war, neither are jobs the
same. They have changed as much
as the heroes have changed who
used to fill them. Finding a job
that will fit will be to many heroes
a good deal like going over the top,
but the spirit that went over the
top will find the job and stretch it
to hero size

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT

According to the reports of off,
cials of the War Trade Board, 5,00O,-
900 immigrants wish to return to
Europe as soon as they can obtain
transportation. Since the war broke
out such immigrants have saved
$1,500,000 which they have been
unable to remit to their native lands
according to their local custom. Be-
fore the war these workers sent
home about $4O0. 100000 a year. SO
the estimated total now in their
hands seems to be conservative.
They have been earning more than
usual during the last four years.
These aliens are ignortant of the
English language when they arrive
and most of them learn little of it
while here. When they try to in
vest money in America they are too
often exploited and swindled. They
distrust the country and the peo-
pie from whom they gain a liv-
ing. 1t is common to find an alien
laborer with several thousand dol
lars on his person. Private bank
ers and steamship agents do a large
business in remitting their money
to their native countries and also
encourage them to go. back. This
drains America of cash and valuable
labor. Something should be done
to encourage such men to stay and
to invest their savings here. The
first step is to inspire them with
confidence and to protect them
against swindlers.

wonder will have reason to change
his mind before many months.
Eminent engineers have expressed
the opinion that the proposed canal
ization of the river is practical from
every standpoint. Indeed. so attrac-
tive is the proposition that some
men of big vision in New York city
have been investigating 1t with a
view to making some proposition
looking to utilizing the river as a
corporate enterprise with promise
of big financial returns.
OF course, it is desirable to give
the people of Pennsylvania the bene-
fit of any economies which may be
effected through an improvement or
public transportation facilities. The
Susquehanna River will be made
navigable and just as the skepuc
laughed at the aeroplane, the tele-
phone and other great inventions
of recent years, so they Will laugh
at the making of the most import
ant river on the Atlantic seaboard
navigable until it is done.

POSt-BeHun, Patriotism
GFrom the Iron Age. ]

No feature of the recent banquet
York was so significant or encour-
aging as the appearance of the new
Governor of Pennsylvania, the Hon.
William C. Sproul, a manufacturer
of iron and steel, builder of ships,
a man of large affairs of a type too
seldom seen in legislative halls or
in executive positions in State or
Nation. The Governor, in straight
forward, earnest speech summoned
the people of his great Common
wealth to perform the duties and
meet the problems which now con-
front them. He said the eXaltation
of patriotism makes all tasks easy,
and the severe test comes after war
ends, when extravaganza and inetfi-
cheney must be abandoned and
things must be gotten down to a
workaday basis. He expressed his
conviction that the people would do
this, in spite of any unwise legis-
lation that might delay but could not
stop their progress.
Will there be any dollar a year
patriots now? 1t is announced at
Washington, in phrases that are
really funny, that movement is
under way to get the ablest busi-
ness men to contribute year wholly
to the service of the government,
and this effort may take practical
form, but whether it does or not,
there is everywhere an urgent de-
mand for unselfish, enlightened and
untiring service from every man
who served his country in any way
during the war. Men like Governor
Sproul are entitled to loyal and
enthusiastic support in all worthy
efforts, and more men of that type
must be elevated to high official
positions. Certainly it does seem
that our various war boards could
have been made to function for the
period of readjustment, but plans
to operate in the large war time
way were apparently not considered
feasible and many of the personnel
felt they were sorely needed at their
accustomed places in finance. busi-
ness and industry. 1t is to be hoped
that those remaining will not allow
themselves to be demobilized from
public service when there Is urgent
demand for their help.

National HighWdgs

General du Pont, who is chair
man of the Board of National Coun-
cilors of the National Highways AS
soiation in a New York good roadz
conference this week, began by say
ing that the people of the United
States are just waking up to the i'm
portance of good. roads as the basis
of national highways.
"The efficiency of the political units
now in general charge of the work"
said General du Pont, "as the states.
towns and counties, can only be syn
chronized through an organization
that is national, and such a federal
organization should have the power
to correlate the work of political d.
visions to the end that hereafter we
may have a system of national high
ways intelligently laid out and main
tanned in the most economical man
ner. If federal aid is given to road
building, regardless of whether such
roads are a part of the national sys
tenn of highways, it is not good
political economy.
THE most essential item of road
engineering is location. 1t is the only
thing about a road that can be abso-
luteiy permanent. All Americans
who got to France and beyond a
port of embarkation will. I am sure.
be the strongest advocates OF GOOD
roads when they set home"

German Learns War Lesson
By BRIGGS
New York Times


That at least one German has
learned at least one thing from the
war is shown by the fact that Emil
zimmerman of the Lokal-Anzeiger
has lost his confidence in u large
and long-trained standing army as
an. implement for the enforcement
of a nations will. Both Great
Britain and the United States, he
writes, have proved the possibility
of creating big and efficient armies
out of nothing"
That the British and American
armies were made out of nothing"
is a statment amusingly incorrect,
if it be taken literally, but it Is
easy enough to catch the German
editors meaning. What he has dis
covered and confesses, of course, is
that armies as good as the best can
be made in a good many years less
than forty, or twenty, or even five.
Our own Mr.. Bryan once thought
or at any rate said. that it could be
done in half a day, but he was
not much more wrong when he
talked about a million freemen
leaping to arms over night than
were the military experts of most
countries, and especially those of
Germany, when they used to tell us
what a long process was the turning
of civilian into a soldier. They
forgot the difference between men
who go into uniform as q last and
rather desperate resort, and those
who do it for the attainment of ends
vehemently desired and warmly ap-
proved. In those conditions the time
required for training to high effici-
ency is vastly shortened.

.HONORING JOYCE KILMER

The first tree in honor of Joyce
kilmer, who wrote the famous poem
Trees" is to be planted at Trenton,
n. j., says a report TO the American
Forestry Association. The tree, an
oak, will be planted by the pupils
of the State Normal School. under
the direction of DIR. j. j. Savitz. the
principal, along with one in honor
of Russell Terradell, former stu
dent who was killed in action in
France.
Kilmer, too, was killed in France
and many critics agree that his
fame will rest upon this poems
/ think that 1 shall never see
A poem lovely as tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing
breast;
A tree that looks at God all day
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain,
Who intimately lives with rain.
s..
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
The suggestion of the American
Forestry Association that memorial
trees be planted in honor of the
soldiers and sailors in connection
with any memorial plans is being
taken up all over the country, and
the association will try to register
all such trees for a permanent re-
cord. In many states organization
by counties is being effected for
the planting work.

For once great party has put it's
best foot forward in the nomination
of a candidate for one of the nations
highest offices. Frederick II. Gill
lett, who will be the next Speaker, is
not only a good man or the right
man to elect, but he is conspicu-
ously fitted for the place above all
his competitors. That seldom hap
pens, in a country where comprom-
ises so often rule elections and NOM
nations. Usually, as between the
best and the worst, the parties COM
promise by choosing somebody
neither very good nor very bad.
But Gillett, able, experienced, broad
minded, and yet no mugwump, but
a vigorous honest partisan stood out
over all the others. and even. it may
be said, over those who might have
been put forward but were not.
The Republican party, in it's first
effort toward 1920, has acted with a
wisdom surprising and unexpected; /;
for although it had been evident
that Mr.. MannS candidacy was
doomed and that Mr.. Campbell's
appearance as a stalking horse at
the eleventh hour was not likely to
be successful. still the pronounced
majority for Gillett over all candi-
dates had not been looked for in the
country at large.
The Speakership result in all it's
brilliancy, was largely brought about
by Chairman Hays of the National
Committee and Senator Penrose of

SdDe ShipbuiIding Industry
[From the PHILADELPHIA Inquire

lFrom the Philadelphia Inquirer1
Whatever else Congress neglects,
it should see to it that the Sundry
CivilAppropriation bill gets through,
for this measure contains an item
of something over six hundred mil
lion dollars for the continuation of
ship-building under the auspices of
the Emergency Fleet Corporation,
which is the Federal board.
Does Congress realize what would
happen If this bill should fail and
the President should refuse-and he
has refused-to call an extra ses-
sion? Thousands, tens of thou
sands, scores of thousands of
workers in the shipyards of the
country would soon find themselves
out of employment, and at time
when the munition plants have dis
gorged their multitudes and our
troops tare coming home from
abroad seeking employment.
The ships scheduled for construc-
tion in the Emergency Fleet pro-
gram are badly needed and just as
badly there is need to provide work,
for the army of the unemployed is
growing. That army must be re-
duced. not increased, and failure to
pass the bill referred to would in
few weeks add enormously to 1T.
The banks of the Delaware, to give
only one instance, now hives of in
dustry. would become almost desert
places.
Congress cannot take the re-
sponsibility of depicting the great
yards of their tens of thousands and
turning these men adrift. Surely 1t
must recognize the Importance of
pushing the Sundry Civil bill to the
front.
