agreement would provide for the i'm

LET EN- TALK

GOVERNOR SMALL. Of Illinois. evi.
" emily believes that democratic institu.
tions are in no serious danger from anything
that agitators may say. His pardon OF
William Bross Lloyd. a rich Chicago radi-
cal. after the man had been imprisoned
only n few days, proves this.
Lloyd is Communist. who was convicted
under an Illinois statute aimed ut the propa.
CATION OF syndicnlism. The conviction
occurred little more than n year ago, and
it was not until it was affirmed by the
higher courts that the man was sent to jnil.
The Nation was not Mt war. and neither
Lloyd nor the men convicted with him were
accused of giving aid and comfort to
national enemy. They were speaking their
minds in time Of peace, and they were guilty
of no overt acts subversive Of government.
If their conviction had taken place while
we were Mt war there might have been justi.
fication for it. Under such circumstances
frec,lonl of speech that is allowable in
time of peace may become dangerous. If
individuals either attack the war aims OF
the Government or attempt in other ways
10 interfere with the prosecution Of the
war they must be restrained. But in time
of peace the widest liberty OF speech must
be allowed. 1t is no crime for man to
argue in favor Of the establishment of
monarchy here, nor Is it crime for an.
other man TO insist that the establishment
OF Soviet republic will bring to the people
greater happiness and freedom than they
now enjoy. But II they conspire to over.
turn the existing Government outside the
methods for reform provided by the Consti.
tuition. and are guilty of nets intended to
overturn it. then they become amenable
to the laws and must be punished.
Governor Small knows that Lloyd was
guilty Of no overt acts aimed Mt the Govern.
ment, and he knows also that the way to
make such propaganda rs he was engaged
in harmless is to give il the widest latitude.
II may be that the Governor smiled cyn.
cay to himself as he signed the pardon
while he reflected that Lloyd, in spite of the
fact that he processes to be Communist,
retains possession of his own great for
| tune. Such q Communist lives 30 far
, removed from the nctualities that he Is
! harmless, however much he may talk

QUARTERLY TAX PAYMENTS

COUNCIL is facing in the right direction
~ when 1t begins to consider proposition
permitting the payment of tax bills In semi
annual installments.
II It would adopt the rule governing the
payment Of the Federal income tax it would
relieve the small householder and at the
same time provide current revenues as they
are needed. The income tax may be paid in
quarterly installments, or it may be paid
all ut once. or at any quarter the balance
due may be paid.
Under the rule now prevailing small
rebate is allowed to those who pay their
taxes early IN the year and penalties for
non. pay ment do not begin to run until Sep
tember I. Very few taxpayers pay their
bills at the beginning Of the year. The
while In August. the last month before the
penalties began to run, the collections we're
S1S. .O00, 900.
It would be much easier for a small
householder to pay tax bill OF 500 in
installments Of $25 every three months than
to pay the full amount at once.
The subject was raised by request from
the Receiver of Taxes that the date on
which the penalty for non payment should
become effective should be changed from
September l to August 1. This was very
properly opposed by some of the leading
Counclmen. and the six months install.
ment plan suggested. The quarterly pay.
ment plan would solve many problems. If
the city asks for it the Legislature will
doubtless grant it.

THE RED.cROSS OBLIGATION

A CCORDING to the official schedule, the
"A Red Cross rollcall began on November
IL and ended yesterday. In this southeast.
srn district Of Pennsylvania. however, the
house. house campaign and the canvass
OF industrial and business organizations are
not vet completed, condition leaving a
margin Of grace to the public to send the
drive we'll over the top.
Another week will be devoted to this
work. which it is hoped will result in sub.
stantial appreciation of the magnificent ac.
tivities Of the Red Cross, especially in the
home field.
Here in Pennsylvania there are thousands
Of ex-service men awaiting light on the
complicated question Of adjustment of their
compensation claims by the Government.
Even assuming that all the Federal ma.
chinery is in perfect operation. there are
cases Of distress and suffering lying outside
the scope of governmental relief. The Red
Cross extends its ministratons not only to
the veterans in their plight but to their
families.
1t is mistake to regard the Red Cross
as humanitarian agency with exclusive
concern for catastrophe conditions abroad
for misery resulting from famine, food.
earthquake, wars or political upheavals. All
these tragedies exercise calls upon the as.
siduity. generosity and efficiency of the or.
ganizat!on. but not to the subordination Of
domestic woes
AT the present moment much of its &C.
tivities is directed toward soldier relief.
The responsibilities Of the public are here
conspicuously evident.
1t is now predicted that 200, 900 new
members, each contributing 81 for enroll
ment, will be drawn from this district.
The original program provided for 5O, 900
more enlistments. This community and ad
Joining regions cannot morally afford to
make n showing less than that outlined in
the original specifications.
The current week furnishes the oppor.
tunity to repair lapses and deficiencies. In.
cidcntally. it may be noted that Detroit
produced its quota of new members in three
days.

WOMEN'S RIGHTS

the same rights that men enjoy under the
law. The Woman's Party is asking tha,

The Consumers League favors the -.
moyal of the disabilities Of women bv tho
passage OF separate bills directed at snecial
disabilities for the reason that the blanket
bill would create confusion that could not
be removed for years.
For example, the blanket bill provide, TINT
"No disabilities or inequalities on sccoun,
of marriage shall exist unless they apply to
both sexes" The Consumers League asks
whether under such n provision women
would have legal claim to support from
their husbands and whether a desertin.
husband could be brought back and com .
PEELED to support his wife. It asks also
whethsr laws granting pensions to wives
or widows will become invalid, or whether

DRY AND DELIGHTED

THE Turks celebrated their occupat,on Of
Adrianoplc with a Dry dinner at
which pilaf was perhaps substituted for
combustible plum pudding, and loukoumi
(almond pastel with draft of Thracian
water possibly took the place OF cocktails
and caviar. The banquet. moreover. was
not the only evtden' of spirituous absti.
nence. General TaL.- Bey, the new Gov.
ernor Of the town, promptly promulgated
an order closing all liquor shops and bars
Ut which alcoholic refreshment had been
sold. Judging from reports of the Greek
exodus from Adrianople, not enough Hell.
lsnes remained there to support any effec.
tive protest on behalf Of their favorite and
b the uninitiated, unpalatable beverage,
Sesinatc! wine.
Prohibition among the Moslems is NOT n
fiction or pharisaical fancy. Alcoholic in :.
dulgence is displeasing to Allah and among
self.respecting followers of the prophet il
10 accounted not only disgrace but n
religious heresy. 1t must be remembered
that Omar, who sang Of wine. was Per.
sian whose "liberal" views are deemed dis.
creditable and shocking by the Sunnitc sec,

have been made within the last thirty or
thirty five years furnish hopeful signs that
the reform can be made complete.
Half n century ago the surface railway
situation in Philadelphia was probably as
pressing as in any other large American
city. In the early days surface lines were
recklessly located on the surface Of main
thoroughfares. Even Market street was
thus dsfigured and rendered dangerous.
The process of betterment has been con-
sistently supported with impressive results.
Virtually the only express line now threat

branch OF the Reading, of which reconstruct

far. it is logical to urge reform until Phila'

times before the war. He wants to re.

these bonds ever were severed. Americans
who disagree with French policy do not dis.
