Send a Missionary.


(Girard in Phila. Press)
What do you think Of this for an
example Of business wit and econo.
my:
A has a telephone In his apart
ment. B has a telephone in his apart
ment.
B moves to California and A rents
BIS apartment A informs the tele-
phone company that he wishes to
continue the telephone service in his
new apartment which he has rented
from B.
What does the wise telephone COM
pany do? Sends a man who cuts the
wires and carries off the telephone
instrument from BIS apartment.
Then A is informed that because
of a lack of labor it will take ten
days to reconnect his telephone SER
vice. On top of that A is charged
$3.50 because he changes from one
phone to another-a tax of $3.50 for
the promise of continuing his BUSH
ness with the company.
If that happened in China we
should be asked to chip in money to
send missionaries to the benighted
heather.
But it didn't happen in China and
does happen in Philadelphia.

OF our hats to the sentiment
feiicitously expressed In this cables

Honor to the statesmen who had
the courage to assume the RESPONSE
bility Of that decision. Honor to the
British millions who, with valor un-
surpassed and hearts Of oak, executed
that decision on Britain's many
fronts. When we contemplate what
would have been the state of affairs
in the world today had not Britain
acted as she did and when she did.
the trials and difficulties Of the pres

seem now to be, sink into comparative
insignifcance.
United States forces have had the
privilege Of service on land and sea

memories Of the associations of those
great days will never perish. They
will perpetuate themselves in our
hearts and thus serve to perpetuate
the indissoluble friendship Of the
British and American peoples"

Disturbing to Democrat,

The president Of the National
Woman Suffrage Association informs
Messrs Harding and Cox that there
exists "a very real and threatened
danger" to ratification by the Tennes
see legislature. The mornings des-
patches do not reveal in just what
this danger consists, but from other
sources it is learned that the anti
suffragists are arousing Southern
preJudices respecting color, alleging
that the comforting of the right to
vote on the colored women will en-
courage intermarriage of the races.
in support of which Mrs. Gait is
quoted as saying: Suffrage democ-
racy knows no bias Of race, color,
creed or SEX
Evidently there is something more
than this in the minds of the obiec-
tors, for male suffrage democracy is
presumed to know no bias of race.
color or creed. 1t is fair to infer that
this something is the fear that when
the colored vote has been increased
by the addition of female suffrage its
volume will be such that suppression
OF it. as is now done in many in
stances with the colored male vote,
will be no longer possible.
Notwithstanding all the force bills
which have been introduced the four
teenth and fifteenth amendments in
many of the southern states have been
in large measure disregarded and the
force bills have come to naught be-
cause Of lack of sufficient support
throughout the country. Now the op-
ponents Of woman suffrage in the
South are said to complain that the
sunragists are militantly in favor of
pushing through force bill.
All this may be disconcerting to Mr..
Cox but surely should not perturb the
Republican party or those Of us who
believe that constitutional laws
should be enforced.

Agatha, for the illegal possession of
a jacklight, or light fitted to hunt
deer at night.
Much credit is due the wardens for
their apprehension of these defend
ants. The case was taken before
Trial Justice John NJ. Brown of
Eagle Lake, and the defendants were
convicted and sentenced to pay
fine of 500 each and costs taxed at
SIS, from which sentence an appeal
was entered.
From a detailed report of this case
made to the Department of Inland
Fisheries and Game, it is noted that
on Friday night, July %, these war
dens arrived at the mouth Of Long
Lake ,Thoroughfare, about 1880
o'clock, where they secreted them
selves with a view of experimenting
any parties who might be attempting
to jack deer. 1t was nearly an hour
before q light was seen which ap-
Brook. The moon was still up, so
the wardens decided not to go any
farther for fear the parties carrying
the light would see them. so they re-
NAMED at the Thoroughfare, plan
Mag to apprehend the parties on
their return home. From II p. NJ.
until dawn the wardens waited for
the expected appearance of the par
ties they were looking for.
They did not dare to go to sleep
their report indicates that the flies
helped to some extent in keeping
them awake-did not even dare 10
light a pipe to keep the flies away
for fear the parties out on the lake
would detect the light of the match
At last the parties on the lake made
their appearance in their canoe. One
OF the wardens was sent down Il tote
road D order to intercept any of the
party should they leave the canoe
and attempt to go by the tote ro& d.
but they all stayed in the canoe with
their light in a knapsack, thinking
themselves perfectly safe.
Not word was spoken by any of
them. and not sound did they
make. When coming around bend
in the 1horoughfare. they were COR
fronted by Chief Warden Franck
who pulled his canoe along side, laid
hold of their canoe a. told them
to stop. BY that time the assistant
warden. James Franck. had arrived
The knapsack was investigated, and
the jacklight transferred to Warden
Franck's canoe. The men were per-
mitted to continue their journey
home. and arrangements were made
for their appearance at court. The
wardens report that there were two
rifles in the canoe which they did
not seize. After the parties appre-
hended left the wardens. they fired
rifle twice in the air, either as a
signal to others or to show their
dissatisfaction at the turn events had
taken.

A Bad Precedent.

The chief executive Of the United
States is to have the chief executive
Of federated labor in consultation as
to what shall be done in the manage
ment Of the United States postal at
fairs. When President Wilson calls
in Mr.. Gompers to adjust postal af-
fairs that Postmaster General Burle-
son has made a mess Of and still re-
tains Burleson in his cabinet the oc-
casion is worthy of more than pass
ing notice.
Burleson has all along been opposed
to the interference of labor unions in
postal affairs and in recent order
forbid active interference by en-
ployes in political matters. an atti-
tude in support of the proper civil
service regulations. So far so good
but not good enough. Long before
this he should have set about i'm
provement of the notorious conditions
to which those employees have been
subjected. This he has not done.
Some will attribute this to obsti-
macy others to incompetency, but
either way leads to the conclusion
that Burleson is not the man for his
job. Furthermore If President Will
son establishes the precedent Of hav-
ing the head Of federated labor as an
unofficial regulator Of governmental
affairs the conclusion long since
reached by many that he is not the
man for the job. nor competent to
name his successor, will be amply
verified.
Gompers is on record as favoring
the Democratic party. of seeking
through the vote of labor to assist
that party. and he is also known to
hold that the interests of labor unions
are superior to the interests Of the
public in the operation Of public
utilities. But Secretary Tumulty has
promised him a conference with the
President ito discuss conditions in the
Post Office Department" All of which
is Illuminating.

Mr.. Roots Work.

It was a foregone conclusion that
the success of Elihu Root. the dis
tinguished castigator of the Wilson
League. in rehabilitating the Hague
Tribunal and establishing as its COM
plement an International Court of
Justice would not please the Wilson
CovenanterS. Sure enough the New
York World "opens up" today on Mr..
Root. attacks him because he is the
author of the Covenant plank in
the Republican platform and one of
the twelve jurists invited by the Su-
preme Council of the Wilson League
to formulate plan for the new court.
Says the World:
1T is impossible that Mr.. Root did
not know on what GRAND he went to
the Hague, or at whose invitation he
had accepted 4 place on the commit
tee of twelve juris,s who were to
plan an International Court of Jus
tice. AS the author of the Republican
plank on the League he could not
have been ignorant Of his duties at
the Hague"
What the World forgets. or elects to
ignore, is the fact that Mr.! Root has
made the Hague Tribunal the spon-
sor and supporters of the proposed
International Court of Justice: that
the Hague Tribunal will in the first
instance make the nominations for
the Court: that Mr.. Root will preside
over the September session of the
Hague Tribunal. which will take up
it's work where it was forced to leave
off in August, 1914; and that the re-
habiiitated and reinforced Hague
Tribunal and it's new complement. the
International Court Of Justice. are
precisely the sort of an agreement to
preserve the peace Of the world
through justice that is pledged in the
plank in the Republican platform.
whose authorship our New York con-
temporary rightly attributes to Mr..
Root.

Liberty-which shall restore popu-

power and from regulation against
the consent of the governed"
With such a choice of slogans one
may not doubt which will prove the
popular one.

America Still the Land Of opportun-

Not many jobs are more humble
than that of printers devil" The
boy who fills this position is kind
of scullery maid. The most mental
and the dirtiest work around a print
ing plant falls to his lot-and print
ing plants are rarely models Of spick
and spanness, with their oceans Of
ink and smelly connections for clean
ing type. The men in a printing
plant usually put the newest
printers devil" through a course of
discipline not exactly of the kid glove
variety. The pay, too, is about as
meager as pays ever go.
Both Presidential nominees began
as printers devils" Neither had
parental wealth or influence behind
them. Nor did either graduate from
college with any letters after their
names. They started life in no tenn
ing metropolis amid innumerable
opportunities for gaining distinction.
They were country boys" Yet from
such humble beginnings and from
such circumscribed environment they
have risen to such place and repu-
tation that they have received the
highest honor in the gift of
Americas two great political parties,
and one of them is destined to ele-
walton to the rulership of the great
est country in the world, exercising
power and influence equalled by few,
if any, crowned or uncrowned heads
in the Old World.
Is there not inspiration in this for
every boy, youth and man in this re-
public? Does it not demonstrate
afresh that America is still the land
of unequalled opportunity? Does it
not prove that neither birth nor
wealth, neither environment nor oc-
cupation, need constitute a handicap
to any young American who has
sufficient ambition and willpower to
develop his talents conscientiously,
industriously, intelligently. persever-
ingly? Not even the most ardent
supporters Of Senator Harding or
Governor Cox claim that either is a
born genius or has accomplished
anything beyond the reach of the
normal American youth.
