IN PRISON AT LAST

DERSONS impatient with the laws delay
L will read with satisfaction that William
8. Leib, former political boss Of Schuylkill
County, has at last been put inside the
walls of the Eastern Penitentiary after
conviction Of the charge of forging State
tax receipts.
The attempt to keep Leib out of prison
has been going on successfully since Decem-
ber, 1915. After his conviction an appeal
was taken, but it was denied by ali the
courts in the State. Leibs lawyers then
sought to get the United States Supreme
Court to intervene. The prosecuting attor-
ney objected vigorously to any further delay
in the execution of the sentence. and Judge
Smith, OF the Quarter Sessions Court, prop.
erly refused a stay, with the result noted
above.
A jury of his peers found Leib guilty.
The higher courts have refused to set aside
the verdict. Under the circumstances prison
is the proper place for him.

WHAT WE DID FOR BULGARIA

- ment that King Boris apd Premier
stambuliwSki, of Bulgaria, are to visit the
United States in the autumn to thank us
for what we have done for their country
We know what Bulgaria did In the war
and where her sympathies were. The
United States did not declare war against
her any more than II declared war against
the Turks. We were at war only with
Austria and Germany.
Now what have We done for Bulgaria I?
We helped to defeat her, We know, along
with Germany and Austria. Gratitude for
that service would be unusual, though il
was a genuine benefit to the Bulsarians

is often cited as the reason for this
new attitude. "The women demand
the vote and the right to take part
in business" say the a%pologists for
the, sitting male. "Let them take
their chances with all others in the
public conveyanees. They cannot
have their cake and eat it, too" But
that quite misses the point Of the
matter. It is not a question of wheth-
er the women are entitled to seats
occupied by men, It is whether the
men should forget their manners.
and good manners requires consider.
alton for women, whatever may be
their status in political or business
affairs.
