ular orator or leader+ one who en-

The Philadelphia Public Ledger,

whether Senatsc France is n dema-
gogue or not obviously depends or
whether no docs or does not really
believe what he says for public con-
sumption. Between the "unprincipled
political ngimtor" and the dangerously
misinformed dreamer there may be
only the difference between sincerity
and insincerity.

NOT AN ASSURING PROJECT.

Senator Walsh OF Massachusetts
has introduced In tho Senate a Joint
resolution authorizing tho President
to take over the coal mines of the
country and operating them under
tho auspices of the government, with
an appropriation OF n billion dollars
to enable him to start upon the gi-
gantic task. 1t Is not likely this reso-
luton will secure tho favor OF ma
jority OF the members of Congress.
Congress has been shamefully dila-
tory In giving attention to tho serious
coal situation. 1t wasted months OF
valuable time over a Tariff measure
which few people wanted. and entirely
disregarded the coal crisis, which was
becoming more imminent day by day
Only recently 1t proposed tho unprom-
Using expedient OF an investigation
by a commission, and now We have
the disturbing proposition OF making
tho coal mines national property.
It is apparent the people can ex-
pect no relief from Congress. and a,

sonable supply OF heating coal fol
next winter Is very gloomy. tn,
only hope is for an agreement by
miners and operators which would
put an end to tho strike.

NEW SENATOR STARTING RIGHT

Senator Reed OF Pennsylvania, an
ex-service man, just appointed TO the
Senate, made a speech in the Sem
ate yesterday afternoon In opposition
TO the bonus. He said that while he
sympa;hized with the soldiers with
whom he served in France he did not
believe the country Was In position
TO stand for a bonus al this time. He
has been counted for the bonus right
along.
Senator Reed closed by saying that
he Was unwilling 10 pass the buck TO
President Harding and therefore took
occasion to say at this time that he
desired 10 announce his position OF
the measure without waiting for any
action on the part of the President.
This new Senator from Pennsylva.

BONUS BILL DOOMED.

Although tho passage of tho Sol
diers' Bonus bill by tho Senate at this
session OF Congress seems assured,
there is almost equal assurance Il
VIII DO vetoed by President Harding.
That In, provided ne does not change
his mind, which, I. must be admitted,
he is prone to do.
President Harding has taken the
rightful view OF tho bonus PROPOSE
ton by insisting It would be folly TO
enact II without making specific plans
for meeting the enormous expenditure
It would impose. But this important
matter is entirely ignored by Repre-
sentatives and Senators. II Is really
surprising they should so insistenth
adhere TO suoh an impracticable and
unbusineselike attitude. II stands
forth as almost imbecfle from busi-
ness point OF view, and surely those
who are the supposed benerciaries
viii not be deceived by the hollowness
OF such a proffered favor-a bonus
without any satisfactory provision for
It's payment.
While there are votes enough ir
the Senate to pass this foolish mea-
sure, II Is said a canvass shows lack
of votes suficient TO pass It over the
Presidents veto. 1t IS hoped, there
fore. Mr.. Harding will resolutely ad
here TO his wise intention not TO make
the bill q law by his official approval
In this manner he Will best serve th'
interests Of the people, to which man,

COLLECT THE CARRIAGE.

The situation IN respect OF garbage
collection in this city Is becoming
more and more aggravated. Daily the
complaints Of non-removal received
by the Board Of Health are increas-
ing, and many householders are suf-
fering from the consequent nuisance.
Tho Board Of Health seems to think
It Is helpless and passes the buck"
to City Council, which body II asked
TO grant the collectors request for
increased compensation. on the ground
that his duties hays been Increased
beyond contract warrant by the en-
nctment by City Council OF an ordi-
nance requiring all garbage TO be
wrapped in paper before being placed
out for collection.
There has been a great deal of
discussion over this feature OF the
situation, but II does not heip the
people who are suffering. from a fall
ing down OF the service. This is a
matter that should claim the prompt
attention Of the Board Of Health, and
there il q practical element in the sug-
gestion Of Councilman Johnson thai

forming the work and deducting the
cost from the contractors allowance

great religious observance OF the col

rounding country, and the entire Della

Il will draw TO our city many visitors,
and the religious exercises Will be OF
special interest and fervor.
Big Quarterly" WAS inaugurated
more than a century ago, about the
year 1872. The old Negro Methodist
Church in Wilmington had Its regular
quarterly meetings. and soon began
to mako the fourth quarterly meeting
OF the year the occasion OF a reunion
Of all the people OF its faith from the
surrounding country. Year after year
the occasion grew in interest and the
attendance increased.
Big Quarterly" reached its zenith
during the decade of 1s65-75. the pc
Rod Immediately following the Cvi
War. During those years the attend
ance swelled to large proportions, visi'
tors coming by steamboats, and rail
roads from all available connected
points. Special trains were run on al
the railroads TO accommodate the pa
irons. In those halcyon days tn
number OF visitors rose to at leas
ten thousand, and Wilmington was
