IRISH PEACE NEARER

DENEATH the surface of debate and dis
- cussion in the Dublin Parliament, as
well as in the studied quiet at London and
among Ulster leaders, there is a continuing
and growing promise of permanent peace
for Ireland.
Mr.. de Valera occupies for the moment
q position of extraordinary difficulty Like
any other man who tries to steer nation
through great crisis, he must contend with
powerful masses of opposed opinion He
must manifest sympathy with all the groups
into which his followers divide and vet let
none of them stampede him. He has to
reconcile many minds that are as stubborn
as his own. His addresses must be read
with this in mind
The people of Southern Ireland have suf-
fered greatly and hoped passionately for
self government. Some are willing to 90 to
the bitter end for sentiments sake. Others
wisely perceive that the terms suggested by
Mr.. Lloyd George easily may be the begin
ming rather than an end Of the Irish dream
OF new and independent national life
Among all classes and groups a return to
the miseries and uncertainty Of the last few
years is unthinkable. And even in the
Dublin Parliament the desire for friendly,
II imperfect. compromise is becoming ap-
parent.

JUDGE JoHNSON'S CASE

TT is never a pleasant task to fight man
i because he is old That. however, is
what the younger, forward minded element
in Chester County is being forced to do in
supporting Senator McDade as a candidate
against Judge Isaac Johnson.
Judge johnson is picturesque figure in
Chester County. He has and deserves a
great many friends. But. should he be
elected again, he will be ninety years old
before his new term expires. He recently
celebrated his eghtieth birthday. He has
the privilege now to retire with a pension
of $4,000 a year.
1t is charged against Judge Johnson that
he has been conspicuously lenient to some
of his friends and alive to the interests Of
the organization which the better dispos
toned voters are determined to put out of
business. The Judge returned friendship
for friendship. And it is not often that II
distinguished friend Of professional bosses
is treated as considerably as Governor
Sprouts Chester Times treats Judge John
son in its appeal for his defeat.
"We,' observes the Times. have moth
ing but kindliness for Judge Johnson but
We confess that we cannot understand his
attitude so often manifested toward those
who seek to bring about better things here.
his leniency toward habtual criminals who
happen to have influence in certain quarters,
and his willingness TO allow the most de-
basing conditions to exist when under
favored patronage"

Mischievous ideas travel fast. The sequel
to the Frelnghuysen fantasy is the sugges-
tion Of bridge of wooden ships across the
Delaware, with one of the termini within

1t has been gayly forecast that the pom

JOHN J. ElCOCk
On Protection Of Citizens

THE Government is ever watchful of the
i food its citizens eat. 1t protects them
in many other ways, according to John j.
Elcock former Assistant United States Dis
trict Attorney.
Mr.. Elcock had charge of the Pure Food
enforcing act here. and in that capacity
represented the Government in several ip-
portant cases before he resigned Monday.
Mr.. Elcock is the son of the late Judge of
Common Pleas Court Thomas X. Elcock.
THE people must be protected he said.
This Is the cardinal purpose for the exist
ence of our governmental forces. We. there
fore. must be on our guard at all times lest
an inferior type of food reaches the ultimate
consumer.
1T is the Governments duty to inspect
the food dispensed. and if the foods are not
in their pure state, to demand that their
cOntainer says so that the user may not be
deceived. The penalty for this type of vio-
lation Is severe and the cases are few where
the same offender comes up twice for pun
ishment.
II had charge also Of the United States
Shipping Board. the Emergency Fleet Cor
poration and the United States Housing Cor
poration cases, and in this capacity have
had opportunities to see just how minutely
the Government does protect its citizens
Prosecutors Work Varied
People would be surprised at the amount
Of litigation which flows through the Federal
attorneys Office. The average citizen looks
upon the United States District Attorney ;
Office as the prosecutor mainly OF criminal
Ofenses
''Of course, the criminal side Of the office
is important. but at times the civil cases
take precedence Cases where thousands
upon thousands of dollars are involved must
be handled.
Take. for instance. the recent tax cases
as brought about by tax legislation. Fabu-
lous sumS Of money were involved.
Another branch OF interesting work is
the admiralty cases This involves techni-
cal skill and the work must be handled with
gloved hands at all times. Suits for damages
to Government property must also be hahdled
With n tedious hand. The slightest breach
may mean hundreds of dollars to the Gov
ernment. and against this the District Attor-
ney must always be on guard.
''The criminal side of the work Is one
that appeals strongly to any one interested

OLD FOES WITH A NEW FACE

DhESlDENT HARDING : suggestion
that the United States in making peace
might engage under the existing treaty
has been variousy interpreted by both the
supporters and opponents of the Versailles
pact. Even hint of outward respect for
the treaty Of 1919 is found dispeasrng by
the irreconci'ables. whose distrust of what
was done in Europe is exceedingly lively.
On the other hand. friends of the psct
Through which all the allied beligCrcnts of
the war, save the United States China and
Russia gained peace, have experienced some
difficulty in imagining the revision of
treaty long since signed by an array of
great nations and for nearly three wears in
force.
But the course which the Administration
seems to be pursuing is one containing seda-
tive possibilities to some extent overlooked
by the spokesmen in both camps. That a
separate treaty OF peace will be concluded
with Germany is now real prospect Re.
ports from Berlin, where discussions are
proceeding with a Quietness in marked con-
trast to the hurry burly Of the Paris con-
ference, indicate that II Is the name rather
than the spirit of the treaty which will be
distinct from that of the Versailles agree
fment.
1t is rumOred that the embryo of the new
treaty begins with the statement that
America shall enjoy all the rights and ben
shts that would otherwise have accrued to
her from the Versailles Treaty. When it
ia remembered that American opposition to
that document was not merely confined to
-distrust of the idealistr League of Nations
but to the product Of alleged European
cynicism and intrigue as a whole, it may
be wondered what the choir of opposition
viii make of an arrangement which takes
Versailles as a basis.
Under the general treaty the United
States was directly concerned in those pro-
visions which referred specifically to her

THE UNBEAUTlFUL ScHUYLKILL

TNEST bOrings for the new masonry dam
i which, it is said, will replace the outmoded
wooden structure across the Schuylkil near
Paramount, give promise of relief from con-
ditions long aggravated by neglect.
Below the dam the Scluylkill has long
been an industrial and upbeautifuI stream,
and although even there some of its most
depressing aspects might have responded to
treatment. the situation has been accepted
without much protest. But the Park river
Is. theoretically, as fair to the eye as Tom
Moore proclaimed its 'fowering banks"
The facts remorseessy counter this
fiction. Above the dam the waters Of the
SChuylkill have grown increasingly turbid.
Mud fats and deposits have alarmingly in
creased, until now the recreation uses of the
river. especially those involving regattas
are seriously menaced.
The proposed new dam can be fitted with
turbines which will create needed new cur
rents and in addition can be devoted to
generating electrical power. There Is some
question about the water flow necessary to
make the Harvesting Of the Schuylkil Of
practical worth. But there Is no doubt Of
the indispensa of new modern style
dam.

A TRIBUTE TO WOOD

IF GENERAL LEONARD WOOD even

Of Pennsylvania he will enjoy at the outset
the sympathetic appreciation of his employ
ers to an extent not often matched in in
stitutionS of higher learning.
The selection of college presidents is al
ways a difficult business, and there are often
marked differences of opinion concerning
whatever choice is made. General Wood
need never fear that he was not wanted by
one Of the leading universities of the land.
The action of the trustees in extending
his leave of absence until September l.,
1922, because Of his prospective Governor
ship of the Philippines is unprecedented as
q mark Of confidence and respect. There
are other men with whom the college au-
thorities might conceivably grow impatient.
