BARLEYcoRN ABROAD

A MERICANS, vets and drys alike, like
n to feel that they, in their various ways,
are confronted with the worst aspects of
prohibition. But our difficulties with the
dry laws seem negligible In comparison with
the troubles which are growing between the
vets and drys In Europe.
Norway and Sweden are working them
selves into a fever Of resentment because OF
what they cnll the studied efforts Of France
and Snain to break down their prohibition
laws. France and Spain are wine and
brandy making countries. 1t is alleged in
this instance that in retaliation for the dry
laws in Scandinavia they are operating
rigorous economic boycott against the peo-
ples who have enacted prohibition laws for
their own better welfare. As result OF
all this a new sort Of rift Ia appearing be-
tween some Of the peoples Of Europe.
Barleycorn has taken his place among
the agencies which usually generate intense
national hatreds and the heat that flames
in war.

fame that he even permitted the first edition
OF the "Suwanee River" to be published as
the work of the minstrel Christy, died neg
lected and poor In shabby lodging house
on the Bowery in 1864.
Little can be added to the potency Of his
achievement, but In the way Of respect to
his memory a vast debt IL due, A belated
but eminently fitting tribute is now pro-
posed In the form of monument on the
Bowery to be erected through popular sub
scription. The sum sought is $50,OOO.
The obligation Of Americans to contribute is
profound.
The case Of Beranger is not an exact
parallel. Although Sacha Guitry In recent
drama has touchingly depicted the semi
oblivion which covered the composer Of The
King of Ivetot'' in his old age and the i'm
mortality of his songs still heardsin his old
haunts. Beranger's is lustrous name today
in France. Honor to Beranger " cried
the crowds of Partisan townfolk that walked
in the wake of his funeral cortege.
The honor which the hearts of genera
tions OF Americans have paid to Stephen G..
Foster has been involuntary and in sense
vague. The definition Of these sentiments
in a memorial to genius at once simple,
unaffected and extraordinarily vital will ex-
press the awakened instincts Of duty.

within reach II we only have an airship:
II is not necessary to mount a mile toward
the sun In order to get refreshing breezes,
A half mile would do. At that height one
might still wear Palm Beach suit without
too great discomfort. but the air would be
cool enough to dispel the depression that one
suffers from at the surface OF the earth.
Who knows but that In the future. when
the airship has been perfected, we may have
fleet of such vessels anchored over the
city and that the tired business men may
ascend to them In the evening to spend the
night where they can get refreshing sleepT
Then. too. such floating isles Of comfort may
be utilized by the charitable organizations
for saving the lives Of sick babies In the
summer. many of whom die because OF the
depressing effect of the heat and the impure
air in which they have to live.

SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENTS

CUPERFIClALLI viewed, the destruc-
~ ton by the highway and police bureaus
OF number of front step porchcs on Jack
son street may seem a piece of official small
mindcdness. None the less. the principle
that is upheld is well worth preserving.
The handicap of narrow streets is more
burdensome in Philadelphia than in any
other American city. The sanctioning or
encouragement of encroacbments beyond the
legal building lines would inevitably lead to
abuses seriously encumbering our thorough
fares. There is, of course, no ban whatever
upon verandas or porches erected In con-
eormity with certain definite regulations.
Crowding in the renr Is obviated by the
law compelling that IA square feet Of space
must be left clear in all dwelling lots.
1T is unfortunate that so many residences,
particularly in the older sections of the
town, were originally so constructed as to
deny their occupants veranda privileges.
The municipality, however. looks toward
the convenience of the many. There are few
restrictions devised for the good Of ajori-
ties that do not in some degree vex indi-
vfduals.
The prohibition against the extension Of
signs for more than eighteen inches beyond
the building line on Chestnut street is doubt
less unwelcome to some property holders.
But one of the main arteries Of Philadelphia
is rendered more attractive by the rule. 1t
isi irregular and spasmodic enforcement
which is reprehensible.
The compninants on Jackson street have
an excellent right to demand that applica-
tion Of the front porch regulations should
not be restricted merely to their infringe
mcnts,

THE GAS HEARING

THE Mayor is to give those interested an
l. opportunity tomorrow to explain why
the Hall ordinance should be passed.
The ordinance raises the price Of gas to
81 10 thousand cubic feet and permits the
gas company to retain 81 Of this amount.
The company Is getting seventy five cents
at present The other twenty five cents OF
the dollar collected is paid into the City
Treasury. The increase in the amount
which the company may retain will give 1t
an additional revenue of 81, 900. 900 for the
year. Part of this sum viii have to be used
to pay for raising the standard from $50
British thermal units to 600. Unless the
price Of oil falls considerably the net revenue
will be increased by between $4,000, 900 and
$3,OO0,O00.
The hearing should be largely attended by
representatives Of an the organisations In
the city interested in protecting the pocket
books Of the people. These organizations are
not likely to defend the ordinance. It has
thus far been defended BY no one but the
Councilmen who voted for It and BY other
spokesmen for the gas company.
The opponents Of the ordinance will have
an opportunity to be heard on Wednesday.
Their case Is so strong that IL cannot sue
cessfully be assailed. 1t rests on the recon-
mendations Of the Gas Commission, a body
created under the authority of the Council
to study the whole subject and to make a
report on what should be done. The mem
bers of the Commission are experts. Their
disinterestedness is admitted by every one,
even by the gas company. Their recommen-
dations go to the bottom Of the subject and
provide for workable arrangement The
Mayor himself has urged the Council to
adopt the plan proposed by appointing a
committee to confer with the Gas Commits
sion, the City Solicitor and representatives
Of the gas company for the purpose Of nego-
tiatng n new lease.
1t would be very easy to make such an
arrangement as would overcome all the en-
barrassments from which the gas company
Ia suffering pending the completion Of the
lease. And when the lease was drafted and
agreed to the gas problem would be settled
without any makeshifts or evasions Of the
issues and without any guesswork.
The representatives Of the various or
ganizations who should attend the hearing
tomorrow to learn what can be said In favor
Of the Hall ordinance will fail In their duty

day prepared to demand that the gas problem
be settled right while we about It,

SENATE ShADOW-BOxlNO

LNISTS are often shaken on the floors Of
i Congress. Not In many, many years
have members put them to n more drastic
use. In the course OF debates certain to
be followed with avid interest by the folks
at home many Senators and Representatives
rise to wave Iron Mikes at one another In
order that their constituents In the far
places may be convinced Of their sincerity
and led finally to believe that they are ever
ready to bleed for a truth or endure the
rigors Of physical combat for the sake Of a
principle.
Old observers in the galleries know, how
ever, that when Honorable Members ap-
proach each other aggressively from oppo-
site sides Of the House or Senate Chamber
and clamor for fght--as Senator Reed and
Senator McCumber did In the course of the
closing debate on the Soldier Bonus Bill
other Honorable Members will spring from
all sides and intervene to prevent colli-
sion. That service Is one that every Con-
gressman Is ready to perform for another,
since no Senator or Representative cnn tell
when he himself may require It. An un-
written Inv compels intervention in every
such crisis So II is always safe to challenge
an opposition member to bloody combat In
the course Of a heated fight over a bill.
The combat viii be stopped before II be-
gins.
Mr.. McCuplber and Mr.. Reed were in
no danger, though they seemed ON the verge
Of n real scufle. For ourselves we hope
that the rule may be changed. Gentlemen

Jobless Turn to Crime
''The wave of unusually desperate crimes
which overlook Philadelphia several months
ago, but which, I am glad to say, Is now
receding, and which impelled the imposing
of heavy sentences, even on first offenders,
was brought about by the breaking of the
forced prosperity. Thousands came here for
war work, impelled by large salaries, and
when their wonderful jobs were gone turned
to crime to procure the accustomed big
money.
"The war had something to do with the
matter also, as it seems that many young
men were inspired by desperate and reck-
less sort Of spirit which would balk at
nothing. That accounts for the unusually
daring and bold crimes which were COM
mitted here. However, those conditions are
dying out, and right now there is much less
crime than in New York, Chicago and other
big Cities
