MEMBERS of the Operative Builders
Az Association who told Mayor Moore
that the Camden bridge will interfere
with the development of the northeastern
section of this city must have been well
versed in the warnings of the past.
Doubtless the series of switchbacks to
Columbia were rendered useless when the
parent of the present Pennsylvania Rail
road was built to Harrisburg. Every
body knows how superhuous the Ninth
and Green streets terminal became when
the Reading station was erected at
Twelfth and Market streets.
What happened to the pony express
when the last spike was driven in the
Union Central Pacific? And, to be more
up to date, what does Punta Arenas in
southernmost continental Cltile think of
that time -annihilating short cut, tn =
Panama canal?
1t is on record that the proposal to es-
tablish trolley lines to take the place of
the old horse-drawn street cars was bit
terly opposed in this city.

the P. R. T. what il has to do and the
P. r. 7. will do as it is told.
1t would be better to call out the re-
serves to compel people to walk than to
let them crowd in street cars that ac-
tually are dangerous to the general
health. Unless we have aswrong notion
of Doctor Furbush's character and
method, he would do that very thing if
he deemed it advisable.
If you persist in thinking of ghosts you
will see one-or your overweight senses
will tell you that you see one. The rela-
tion between physical and mental proc
esses is undeniable. Doctors cannot ex-
plain it. But it is revealed to them in
astonishing ways every day. That is why
idle talk about "hu" epidemic will con-
tinue to be regrettable until there is bet
ter evidence of danger than the health
authorities have yet been able to per-
ceive.
If you "catch cold" go at once to a
physician or call one in without delay.
Take the doctors advice and his medicine.
But if you regularly follow ordinary rules
of health you probably will not be trou-
bled at all. You will ward off flu, even
if it is in the air, without knowing that
it was anywhere about.

THE sENATE's FINAL TEST

THE foreshadowed senatorial "ulti-
= matum" on the peace treaty will at
least be guide to public opinion.
A beated national cheer will go up if
workable agreement of the factions is
reached. If anything so senSeless as a
final failure to compromise is recorded
the incompetence of the Senate will be as
palpable as the recent folly of the Presi-
dent. In that case the referendum by
presidential election, which scarcely any
one save Mr.. Lodge and Mr.. Wilson have
ever seriously urged, will be the unes-
capable calamity.
In the brief time that seems to be left
for judgment there is still opportunity
for the hard-shell senators to disdain the
cup of bitter paradox which would be
theirs if they continue obdurate. The
spectacle of the Senate, which has been
rated as the Presidents foe, taking step
that would make his proposal inevitable
would be one difficult to surpass in the
annals of iFonV

THE SPRoUL BOOM

TN THIS last week of January the race
for the Republican presidential nom-
nation is among the favorite sons of the
various states. What it will be in the
last week in February or March is still
concealed in the mists of the future.
Consequently the friends of the favorite
sons are justifiably active. 1t is the gen.
eral impression at the present time that
Governor Sprou will be presented to the
convention as the candidate of Pennsyl-
vania, backed by the delegation from this
state, just as Governor Coolidge, of Mas
sachusetts, will go to Chicago with the
united support of the Bay State delega-
tion.
The dinner to Governor Sproul in Wash
ington last night was arranged to bring
his candidacy to the attention of the Re-
publican politicians in that city. His
friends believe that all that is necessary
to secure support for him is to allow him
to be seen and heard, so that it may be
known what manner of man he is.
Their confidence that he can be nom-
mated is not without historical founda-
tions. One has only to review the pro-
.ceedings of conventions in the past to dis
cover the basis Of their hopes. Since 1896
there has been no really serious contest
in the conventions, as the political man.
ayers had succeeded in arranging before
hand who was to be nominated. This is
true even of the convention of 1912, when
Taft was named for the second time. The
leaders had decided to name Mr.. Taft and
he was nominated.
But in 1888, when Harrison was nomi-
mated for the first time, in favorite-son
convention, he had only eight votes on the
first ballot, Chauncey NJ. Depew, of New
York, had ninety-nine. Blaine received
thirty-five and Mayor Filter, of this city,
polled twentyfour. 1t was not until the
eighth ballot that Harrison was nomi-
mated. In 1880 it took thirty-six ballots
to make a nomination, with Grant and
Blaine leading on the first without sim
gle vote cast for Garfield, who was conf
mitted to the support of John Sherman,
of his own state. Pennsylvania went to
the convention in 1876 committed to Gov
ernor Hartranft who polled fifty-eight
votes on the first ballot, while Hayes, who
was finally nominated, had only sixty
one. Blaine started with 285 in a conven-
tion in which only 379 votes were required
to make a nomination. On the seventh
ballot, as result of compromises, Hayes
won the nomination. These were all
favorite-son conventions, with the race
open to any one when the delegates met
If there should fail to be agreement on
any one before next June that man would
be rash indeed who should make any
prophecy, and the friends of the various
candidates would be extremely foolish if
they did not stand by their man and work
for him with all their might. A compro-
mise on any of them would then be pos
sible. 1t is because of this condition that
the Sproul workers are coming out into
the open just now.

HAMPERING THE PosToFFIcE

POSTMASTER THORNTON is asking
for more room to accommodate the
rapidly growing mail business of the city,
He says that the receipts of the postotfice
have doubled during the last seven years
and that they will increase more than
$5,000,000 year before the end of 1922.
Yet the postmaster is compelled to do
this great business in the same quarters
that have been occupied for many years.
He is asking the government to lease for
him 250,000 square feet of floor space for
his immediate needs.
This expansion of the business of the
city is gratifying. The failure of the
government to provide for its accommo-
dation should compel those who wish the
government to extend its business activi-
ties to reconsider their opinions and re-
wise their judgments.
A private enterprise doing business
of seven or, r,eight million dollars year
in one line in 1912 would have made I'M
mediate provision for expansion when it
took on a new line which required great
deal of room for proper handling. But
when the postoffice began to handle large
packages that had formerly been sent by
express the government expected this
bulky mail to be accommodated in the
same quarters that had been used before
the parcel-post system was adopted.
Part of the increased revenues of the
local postoffice come from the natural in
crease in the mail of a growing city, but
a large part of the new revenues I'M
doubtedly come from the parcel post.
Those revenues are to be increased in the
near future when branch of great Chi
cago mail-order house is opened here next
summer. Mr.. Thornton estimates that
this house will pay $1,5OOOOO a year to
the local postoffice. 1t has been known
for many months that this new business
was to come here, yet the government in
Washington has done absolutely nothing
to enable the postoffice to accommo-
date it..
When a governmental department en-
gagged for years in the business of han
ding the mail neglects to provide for ex-
pansion until long after the facilities of
the postotfice have broken down under the
strain, it is difficult to understand how
any one with the slightest appreciation
of the elements of business efficiency can
favor applying these same backward
methods to any other enterprise.
Better accommodations fe@ the local
postoffice will be provided at some time
in the future, but not until we have been
compelled to suffer still greater incon-
Venience.

behalf of residence in the White House.
Governor Coolidge insists that he could
not seek this Office" Mr.. Palmer is de-
voting all his time to anti-sedition. Mr..
Bryan is consciously interested in che
keening of certain Democratic politicians
over the corpse of Mr.. Barleycorn.
Hiram Johnson is fighting the treaty.
The concern of these gentlemen over
problems other than the riddle of the next
presidency qualities them for immediate
membership in the quadrennial league of
modesty. We're not the evanescence of
that now populous body as generally
recognized as its shyness one would be
forced to wonder why anything so dull,
unattractive and inconsequential as
presidential nomination had ever become
a feature of the American political sys-
TEN.

THE THIMBLEBUM TREE
THE Thimblebum Tree grows up high on

TINE Thimblebum Tree grows up high on
l. hill.
But its roots grow far down in the valc
Its branches resemble BilfoliI's bill,
With trunk like a Buddakins tail
1t shivers all over with zephyrs ablow,
But in blizzards it stands just as still
And steady as any old Tiddicumtown
On the banks of the Fillupin Phil
You'd rightly suppose that a Thimblebum
Tree,
Growing high on the hiltops Of Zeer, p
Would bear what the natives would most
like to see
Many crops of gold thimbles each year.
But learn right at once that your thought is
not sound,
That crop such as that could not be;
For thimbles, you know, being hollow and
round,
Could not grow on Thimblebum Tree.
The fruit that it bears, to be strictly cor
rect,
Is the-well, am sure you'll agree,
Its crops are just what you would rightly
expect
-, Would be grown on Thimblebum Tree.
Then why should you wish for its name
when you know;
And, besides, what would gold thimbles BE-
To women of Twippiltin TwippiI, who sew
With the twigs of the Thimblebum Tree.
