young men charged with being
implicated in the murder of OF
Miss Rachel Allen, aged p. on
June 5 last, we're placed on trial
in the Owsley county circuit

lNSOLENCE

MO ONE will be deceived by the mes
~ sage of the former German crown
prince to the President. His offer to sur
render himself to punishment by the
allied governments in place of the large
number of military and naval officers and
politicians demanded is made the me-
dium of an attack upon the allied gov
ernments and of declaration that Ger
many never will surrender the accused.
The message is intended to strengthen
the opposition in Germany to the fulfill
ment of the terms of the peace treaty,
rather than to point a way out. Will
helm has no more belief that his offer to
sacrifice himself vicariously will be ac-
cepted. than he has that he will be ac-
quilted of the charges of inhumanity
that have been lodged against him. His
letter is mere gesture of defiance.

who are forever telling the country how
IT should behave have been able to read
the profound meaning of their impassable
streets. The very snow shouts at them.
1t shouts of the incvitableness of primal
labor, the splendor of pick and shovel
and the destined requirement of work
that is work; of the work that nobody
wanted to do.
New York works, of course. 1t works
with needle and thread, paper and ink,
spotlights and pianos. But it shrank
from the sort Of labor that actually
makes the wheels go round and puts
food on the table and steam in the pipes.
Soap boxers, dreamers and theorists, who
are more plentiful in New York than
they arc elsewhere, have been believing
that hard labor could somehow be
avoided in a perfect world. The snow
came as if it had been sent by an ironic
fate to convince them that labor Of the
sort that brings perspiration, big ap-
petite for food and wholesome fatigue is
still and always will be a necessary ac-
compartment of rational existence,

COULD THEY FORETELL RAIDS?

A PSYCHIC is one who communes with
L the invisible. The term has sue
ceeded to the temporary cminence that
belonged in successive years to "pre-
paredness," Reconstruction" and like ex-
pressions of variable national taste.
The growing army of psychics is the
visible result of the new interest in spirit
ism, the veiled promises of Sir Oliver
Lodge and the shrewd activity of COM
mercial mediums" who, having no in
terest in the scientific aspects of this
modern question, have been quick to
capitalize the faith of multitudes. They
are class apart from those who believe
too sincerely in spiritualism to accept
fourth-rate vaudeville stunts as mani
festations of the higher and invisible life.
One of these days the police in this
city will check a cruel fraud that is being
perpetrated on countless credulous peo-
pie at shabby and theatrical seances.

A LITTLE NEARER THE GOAL

THE suffragists in the New Jersey
= House seemed to be determined to
ratify the constitutional amendment,
even if it took all night
1t did not take quite all night, but the
amendment was ratified.
New Jersey is the twenty state
to fall in line. The area covered by the
states that have not yet ratified the
amendment is so small that a suffrage
map of the country shows virtually all
white save in the Southeast. Washing
ton, Idaho, Nevada, Arizona and New
Mexico have not yet acted, but they are
likely to favor suffrage. The amendment
has been rejected in Mississippi and
South Carolina, where no one expected
it to be approved.

BROTHERS ALL!

WITH the exception of the Irish ques-
w tion, the subjects discussed by King
George in his address at the opening of
the British Parliament might have been
discussed by the President of the United
States in an annual message to Con-
gress.
He urged the adjustment of coal-min-
ing controversies on an enduring basis,
the regulation of the liquor traffic and
measures stimulating the production of
foodstuffs.
These are the common problems of all
nations at the present time. France and
Russia and Germany and Italy are strug-
Cling with them just as the United States
is seeking way out. They relate to the
great fundamental struggle for existence
in which all living creatures are engaged.
They are not affected by the shape of
the head or by the language spoken or
by the kind of political institutions
which organized society has set up.
If while we are considering them we
can remember that men of other climes
and other languages are also thinking of
the same things we may get better
appreciation of the solidarity of the
human race and deeper sympathy with
the common problems of all nations, and
thus lay the foundations on which alone
a successful League of Nations can rest.

PHIL JoHNSoN'S CONTRACT

MAYOR MOORE very properly wants
A'A to know whether the director of
health is required to employ Philip H..
Johnson to design all the buildings to be
erected by his department.
johnson was architect for the old De-
Spartment of Health and Charities under
a continuing contract made on March 80,
1908, Under Mayor Ashbridgc. He has
received large sums in fees from the city
and the attempt to get rid of him per-
manently has not yet succeeded, though
it has been made more than once.
Mayor Weaver gave the contract for
designing the contagious disease hos
pital to different architect and johnson
accepted the situation. Mayor Blanken-
burg tried to get rid of johnson, but did
not succeed, and Mayor Smith threatened
to disregard him, but Johnson continued
to be employed.
Johnson is a brother-in-law of the late
Israel W. Durham. When Durham died,
Charles Seger, lifelong friend, in
herited his leadership of the Seventh
ward and assumed many of his political
obligations. So long as Durham's
brother-in-law wished to remain archi-
tect of the Department of Health and
Charities Seger supported him with his
influence. This is a matter of political
history. But Seger himself is now dead,
and the obligation of loyalty to Dur
hams friends has not been bequeathed to
any one seriously interested in the mat
ter.
Whatever City Solicitor Smyth may
report to the Mayor on the legal validity
of Johnson's contract, the political va
lidity of it has ceased to exist.

UNAPPREcIATED SERVICE

WHEN successive gusts of the recent
" blizzard were making life hardship
all along the Atlantic coast there were
few men who could not hurry home to
the warm fires that awaited most of US
as compensation for the difficulties and
delays of the journey. They were the
police, and particularly the men Of the
traffic squad, who had to stick to their
posts through the worst of it without
even an interval in which to get the chill
out of their blood.
Matthew Herman, the traffic man who
remained on duty at Broad street and
Lehigh avenue until pneumonia struck
him down, was as much martyr to the
public service as if he had been killed in
battle.
Mayor Moore did a gracious thing
yesterday when he appeared as one of
the first callers at the home of the dead
policeman. He will do an even more
gracious service by pressing, with all the
energy at his command, the plan of which
he spoke to provide something better
than kind words for men like Herman and
their families. The pension awards are
at best niggardy.
81 want to make this a public uues-
tion," said the Mayor. That is what it
ought to be. Mr.. Moore has the gift of
expression. If he will make the cause of
the police his own and lose no oppor-
tunty to advertise the injustices heaped
upon the men in uniform it will not be
long before better general understand
ing of the service is followed by better
pay, better working conditions and more
money for pensions.
