Il the seventy-nfth anniversary OF the birth OF the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company
The system today embraces thousands Of miles Of line
II taps thousands Of large and small communities and
constitutes one Of counrys greatest economic and
transportation assets.
Since it founded, seveniy-nye years ago it has
transported billions Of passengers handled billions OF tons
OF freight employed millions OF and women put and
kept billions OF dollars in circulation and through making
possible the development OF agricultural mineral, indus
trial and commercial resources added billions to or
cOunry's wealth.
Promptly at noon today, ali the whistles on all he
locomotives and shops owned and operated by the com
pany blown continuously for thirty seconds in
honor OF the diamond jubilee II far-reaching and
dscordant din but pleasing to the public because 1t stood
for something big In fact the celebration viewed
with such favor by the general public that thousands
whistles not owned by the company also sounded
as part OF the big jubilee.

President HardingS Message
CFrom the New York Herald.

shipping can be bound only for the
junk heap.
II it seems to economic students
and other careful thinkers that the
President hopes for too much when
he expects industry and business to
revive merely by a tightening OF the
nations tax burdens, they can agree
that this will be a great help when
the fundamental trouble is corrected
inflated production costs, caused
by inflated labor costs. II he seems
to lay too much stress on various
other points in his steering away
from this fundamental issue OF hard
work and honest work for a days
wages at a reasonable rate of pay to
permit the public TO buy its neces-
saries OF life with a 100 cent dollar
rather than a 60 or 20 or S0-cent
dollar he is to be warmly indorsed
for his great common sense which
sometimes indicates more than he is
willing to say In so many words.
And It would be poor recognition
indeed of President Harding's very
splendid Americanism not to quote
from his fine words on the nations
foreign policy and relations at least
as much as the following:
I'm the existing League OF Ma
tions, world governing, with its su-
per powers. this Republic will have
no part. There can be no mi5un
derstanding. and there will be no be-
Iayai of the deliberate expression
OF the American people in the recent
election; and. settled in our decis-
ion for ourselves. it is only fair TO
say to the world in general. and TO
our associates in war in particu-
lar that the League government can
have no sanction by us.
'ln rejecting the League covenant
and uttering that rejection to our
own people and to the world, we
make no surrender OF our hopes and
aim for an association to promote
peace. We wish it TO be conceived
IN peace and dedicated TO peace "
President Harding will make a
very strong impression on Congress
and the nation with his message.

Taken by and all President Hard
ing's long message to Congress is
good In respect of several cardinal
issues, national and international. it
lis particularly good. notably his
complete rejection Of the League of
Nations, his demand for national
economy and rational taxation. his
treatment OF the railroad and ship
ping questions and his commitment
TO early treaties with the Central
Powers.
When the President says that the
national expenditures are unbear-
able, it ought to mean that If Con-
gress does not cut out all squander
and waste that can be reached by
the appropriating power his veto
knife will. When he says that the
Treasury should be kept in funds
with tax schedules that will provide
the needed revenue without strang-
ling industry and harassing business
IL ought to mean that the Congress
leaders who have discussed these
serious matters with him are pre-
pared to hasten the legislation he
urges.
When the President says that rail-
road operating costs must come
down so that the transportation
rates can come down and the coun-
try's products move to market il
ought to mean that this very thing
will soon happen. for the whole
matter really lies with the United
States Railroad Labor Bureau. cer-
tainly under his influence and guild
ance, II not under his absolute
power. And when he says that
American shipping should compete
In maritime commerce the world
over II to achieve this end it be-
comes necessary to change our
straightjacket laws and eliminate
other restrictions against live and
successful merchant marine. il ought
to mean that Congress is going TO
back him up with the repeal or
amendment Of the notorious La Fol-
lette statutes. for as long as they are
! in existence American overseas

GROW CROPS ON
LOTS THIS YEAR
Garden Club Ready to Re-
ceive Application For
City Farms"
r. E. DICKEY. in
CHARGE OF WORK

Cultivation Of vacant lots through
out the city will be again carried on
by the Garden Club this summer.
under direction of r. Earl Dickey.
All persons wishing lots or who are
interested in the movement are ask
ed to report to Mr.. Dickey, room 3O4
Church Building, Tenth and Market
streets.
The cultivation Of vacant lots was
started during the World War in
connection with the emergency
movement inaugurated by Herbert
Hoover then food administrator. With
the cessation of hostilities the Spring
Of 1920 found many persons who had
cultivated the vacant lot gardening
habit clamoring for an opportunity
to continue the work.
This year, many workingmen are
out of employment, and there are ex-
pected to be many seekers after va
cant lots to cultivate, in addition to
those who took advantage Of the op-
portunity afforded last year.
Mr.. Dickey would like to get in
touch with all prospective gardeners
as soon as possible, so that plowins
and narrowing Of the lots may begin
at once.
One of the problems confronting
Mr.. Dickey this year, as in previous
years, is the difficulty in securing
plots of ground not too isolated. and
in this matter he soliclts the CO.
operation of owners Of lots not under
cultivation.
Mr.. Dickey will be at his office
on Monday afternoon from noon un-
Ill 6 o'clock, and on Wednesday
morning from o'clock until noon
Appointments may be made by tele-
phone.

THOSE MANDATES

1t is very evident that our govern
merit is aware Of a concerted effort on
the part of it's allies in the war TO
make selfish exploitation in those
countries over which they ingenious
ly contrived to secure mandate.
Not one of these countries could
have been placed under mandate
had not America made victory over
the central powers possible, at least
allies 1t further appears that there
has been concerted effort to exclude
the United States from any ad-
vantage accruing from such man
dates, even to deprive her of certain
those countries were the possession
of Germany. Secretary Colby Of the
unfair condition and spoke out plain
iy about it. Secretary Hughes now
1t seems that the government OF a
people. urged by the desire to placate
or please its people and through them
secure political advantage, drives
sharp bargains, resorts to measures
which the individual would be
ashamed to adopt. The national con-
science is too often conspicuous by
its absence. Sometimes it is revived
when appeal goes over it's head to
the consciences of the people them
selves. We trust it will be thus
stimulated in this controversy over
1t is not enough TO reply that the
United States not having entered the
League of Nations thereby lost it's
right to be considered. much less lost
it's claim on privileges it enjoyed
heretofore. We do not believe the
English or the French people will be-
. lieve that the United States which
made victory over Germany possible
should in consequence be deprived of
cable rights in the island of zap be-
cause the League chose to turn it
over to Japan.
Such a manifestation of greed IS
especially noticeable at this time
when effort is being made to secure
a basis on which our ornaments may
be limited. If the truth of the situa-
ton may be borne in on the minds of
those who actually did the fighting
and sacrificing the leaders in gov
ernmental affairs will have occasion
to pay heed to it. The former recog-
nize the fact so terribly demonstrated
that war is Improbable as well as
unbearable, that any attempt to
profit by means of-making war is the
very seed of war which they abhor
This country has sought for no
mandates. Are the people of France,
England and Italy to favor swindling
America in consequence of such for
bearance" We do not think they
will do so once they are correctly in
formed.
