Black Sheep.

From their folded mates they wander
far.
Their ways seem harsh and wild,
They follow the beck of baleful
star
Their paths are dream beguiled.
Yet haply they sought but wider
range,
Some loftier mountain slope,
And little rocked of the country
strange
Beyond the gates of hope.
And haply bell with Turing call
Summoned their feet to tread
Midst the cruel rocks where the deep
pitfall
And the Turing snare are spread
Maybe in spite of their tameless days
OF outcast liberty
They're sick at heart for the homely
ways
Where their gathered brothers be,
And oft at night when the plains fall
dark
And the hills loom large and dim
For the shepherds voice they mutely
bark,
And their souls go out to him.
Meanwhile "Black sheep! Black
Sheep we cry,
Safe in the inner fold,
And maybe they hear and wonder why
And marvel in the cold.
Richard Burton.

confined themselves to announcing formally
that Japan has agreed to "renounce oil
preferential rights with regard to foreign
assistance in persons. capital and material
stipulated in the Sino German Treaty OF
March 6. 1903, and to reporting what ap-
pears to be progress in adjusting the prob
lem of maritime customs of the port OF
Tsngtao."
Mr.. l1anihara, of the japanese delegation,
obligcs, however, with some interesting per
sonal and supplementary comment, in which
he emphasizes the willingness of Japan to
withdraw from the 200 square miles OF the
leased territory of Kiao- Chau wrcsted from
Germany providing China will establish the
commercial open door policy along the rail-
way through the Shantung Peninsula.
Without indulging in undue optimism, 1t
may be said that the whole Shantung qucs-
tion appears to have been carried closer to
n settlement than any observers Of the Jap
aneSe attitude at Paris in 1919 would have
deemed possible.
The direct treatment method is probably
largely responsible for this presumed prog
rcss. 1t is the signal virtue Of the Wash
ington Conference that it has not been afraid
of its difficulties nor of placing discussions
of them promptly in the hands Of the parties
most closely involved

THE PACKERS STRIKE

TNHE failure of the expected number of
J. men to 60 out on strike Mt the Chicago
packing houses on Monday, when only about
100 instead of -, 600 obeyed the orders of
the labor leaders, was not n surprise The
encouraging fcatur" of il was the fact that
the workingmen arc showing decided tend
cncy 10 do their own thinking and are not
following orders blindly.
The present il a particularly inOppOrtunc
moment for a great strike, from the point Of
view of nll of the parties concerned There
are TOO many men out Of work for any tyne
of worker except those Of the most highly
skilled kind TO be able to win. The en-
ploycrs are now engaged in a reedjustmcnt
of their businesses after the appalling eco
nomic effects of the war and they need
every effort Of their men as we'll as of them
selves.
The public. too, which is always the last
considered and is always ground between
the two millstones in the case Of pro-
tracted strike, especially where the manu-
facture Of foodstuf or other necessary
article is concerned, has its reasons for not
countenancing strike at this time. Strikes
always advance the cost of the article in
the production Of which the strike occurs,
and the cost Of necessities has not yct
reached the point of chrapnesS after the war
where the public will tolernntly bear an
additional burden.

THE OLDEST DEADLOCK

TNTERNATIONALp progress in Washing
l. ton and the Irish decision suggest that
deadlocks are friablc. In the consequent
heartening of human hopes it is well, how
ever, to inquire into the Ngc of each vcxN-
tious impasse.
Anteduting the war out Of which the ses-
sions in the capital grow, older than the
effective renaissance of the nationalistic Irish
program is transit qualification in Philodel-
phia.
Perhaps Richard Weglcin, who will offer
a resolution in Council tomorrow with view
to removing obstacles to the operation of the
Frankford elevated by the l.. II. T., has
been cogtatng on recent world events.
Perhaps. on the other hand, holdup
tactics are worn thrcadbare and the Mayor
promise of municipal control of the line is
serving what conccivably may have been one
of it's purposes.
At any rate the Chinese puzzle of urban
transit is about to undergo new process
Of political publicity.
The average citizen declines, as Is natural.
to be ca jCIed into the Crudity of revived
hopefulness. Nevertheless he will note
new performance by Council with some in
terest.
, In the most politically benighted commu-
mites there is always the chance that games
destructive of public interest will eventually
be over played.

ADDITIONAL POLICEMEN

MAYOR MOORE has scored Il decided
ll victory and the Combine Councilrncn
executed prompt about face just in time
TO snvc their faces in the matter Of adding
$50 policemen to the regular force. This
number. with those who will be added to
the pntromcn by the new order forbidding
policemen to do clerical duty at City Hall,
will give Director Cortryou II total addition
Of 255 men to the force after the first of the
year.
The figures Mayor Moore recently brought
forward showed that relatively the city is
far below the average big city in the num-
Der of patrolmcn employed. The Mayor has
been right in this matter from the start. and
probably some of the opposition which hr
encountered was the result of partisan poll
tics on the part of the objectors rather than
any feeling that the increase should not be
granted.
The Combine Councilmcn saw the light
but just in time. Preserving the public
safety is one of the principal duties of a
municipality, and it might have proved an
inconvcncnt thing for some Of the recall
citrant Councilmen to 60 before their con-
stituents for reelection with record be-
hind them Of having opposed the Mayor on
so important a matter.

THE TAX RATE

TvHERE will be a net reduction in the tax
J. rate for next year of twenty Ave cents,
according to the announcement of Council
man Wcglein.
This will come about through reduction
of forty cents in the tax rate for the support
of the City Government, offset by an in
crease of fifteen cents in the tax rate for
school purposes.
Now We may expect the spokcsmcn for the
Job Combine to tell the voters that If it had
not been for their insstCnce on n reduction
the people would still be burdcncd by n tax
beyond all reason. And, sad to say, there
will be people so foolish as to believe them,
in spite of the fact that great reductions
were made by the department heads in the
sums which they asked-reductions insisted
on by Mayor Moore himself

Lockwood Committee in New York. Hogan,
he says, has been making a lot of money
illegitimately. One unusual way, it is al

union and to make non union workers pay
high prices for permits to work on union
Jobs. Out of evil good frequently comes.

covered many evils and may eventually
xtamn them out forever.
