SOME TRANSIT SPLENDORS , linllE lmnginntixe powers of Council have X been spiritedly dlHplned in the sudden ; call for incrctised tirbnn tninport(Ulen faeil itles en u innRnitii-cnt senle. Ainenc the allmlntr conception, none tee detlnitely outlined, are u widened truffle north-aml-eeuth boulevard, with n four-track elevated , railway, nnd a new trallie thoreugbfare be tween Itread street and tlie Schuylkill us . substitutes for the I'.toad clrret subway. This laxt mere f'imilinr project, however, ! by no means bhelvrd. since the resolutions calliiiK for a broadside of inforinetlon from the Departments of Transit nnd Public Works include the call for further detnils concerning the underground line from the ,Clty Hall te Olney uenu Philadelphia is no stranger te phantom ubwnys and elevated reads. In its mind's "" eye it has beheld nNe t raffle arteries run ning toward nil the principal points of the compass. Nevertheless, the unexpected stir- ' rings in Council nt this time are by no means te be deplored. In addition te existing needs. It is imperative that prai-tieal consideration be accorded the serious problem of transpor tation during the Sesqui-Centennial period. As the situation stands new, the community Is incapable of handling biich immense crowds of visitors as are forecast. Out of the somewhat vague welter of proposals it is necessary, however, that some definite measures of relief should be adopted. N But whether the fundamentals of the old comprehensive plans should be airily dis missed is a mbject that demands the most arnest study. There can be no question that the most rerieus need of the city is rapid and elll- ,elent north-nnd-senlh transit. The Drend street subway would mpply this. A costly station already has been erected under nnd near the City Hall. Is it wise te ignore this fact and all its correlated features in a wave of enthusiasm for nlternate proposals nebu lously advanced V , ' THE URBAN NIGHT HIDEOUS JLk CCOKDINCS te the tenor of a petition Kt. presented te Council by residents of Spruce street, the ease with which the inno cent sleep knits up the raveled sleeve of care fats been exaggerated. Heavy motertruck traffic, shrieking sirens ud rattling chussls nre. according te this plaint, making night hideous In a distinctly residential neighborhood, and the city legis lators are asked te supply a remedy. It is suggested that the huge cress-town commercial vehicles be barred from Spruce street between the hours of S I. M. and 8 A. M. Whether this traffic, which has J Ttstly increased in this neighborhood within the last five years, could conveniently be di Terted elsewhere is a problem of some mo ment. It is indisputable that the nuisance is aeute, and is aggravated by almost incessant nnd largely needless horn -tooting In the hours supposedly allocated te slumber It is beginning te be demonstrated that the surest way for Philadelphia!) te attain . rest at night is te abandon the center of iv town, fcave ler nparrment-neuHe iiwcuts, this exodus is undoubtedly under way. The combination of enormous commercial meter traffic nnd narrow streets is formidable and distressing. SPEEDERS IN THE PARK THE courts seem determined te applv thfl State meter-vehicle laws te untile In Fairmount Park. Since the laws apply there, the courts can fellow no ether course. It was only a fes weeks age that the right of the Park Commission te exclude motorcars with smoking engines was denied fudge Hegers has just held that the methods of timing speeders In the Parle de net con form te the State law, anil h remitted the fines of two nutomenile drivers. This decision mu-c nut be taken n n license te speed up the enrs in the Park. It may make it a little mere difficult for the guards te get evidence, but it eug'it te be possible te get proof enough te satisfy any Judge, provided the x'utien c.f what the inoterists are went te call "speed traps" is concealed from these inclined te run tee fast.

WHAT WILL BANKERS BUILD OVER THE RUINS OF GENOA? Financiers as Statesmen and the First Open Conference In European History of Real Powers TT SIIOl'LD surprise no one if the Inter--- nntinnnl bnnkers sitting In conference with J. P. Morgan as American representa tive nt Paris are able te propose and actually establish a peace plan better than Lloyd Geerge nnd his colleagues could achieve In the wild wrnngle at Genea. Such Is the nature of the time we live in that clear thinking and rational action are Increasingly difficult In a political atmos phere. Statesmen nre tee often spellbound nt the tombs of their political ancestors. Political superstition and sentlmentallsm did as much as organized greed nnd diplo matic opportunism te make Genea nn even sorrier spectnele than Versailles. Hankers de net react te the superstitions that nllllct most statesmen. And, whether you like te admit It or net, they are the mere efficient for that. Internationalism is net n new and terrible word te flnenciers of Mr. Morgan's type. Pinancc was Internationalized long age. It moves In accordance with a philosophy of unvnrySng realism. It reserves its rever ence for facts rather than for memories. Your diplomatist fellows a different course. And it is nppalling te observe hew little re re lntlen there Is, In consequence, between the needs of men and their accepted political doctrines. Political thinking In Trance, for example, continues te rest upon fenr and hatred of the Minished Germany of 1014. In England it is guided by the pleasant but misleading legend of Ilritannia as the Huler of the Waves. In the United States it is directed by our Inherited preference for national Iso lation. Yet, since these formulae first ap peared the whole earth and its requirements have changed. Se the statesmen who have been doing our thinking for us continue te repeat aphorisms and cedes devised for an agricultural and self-contained America. The British adhere te ways of thought suited te en empire in the full swing of expansion, unchallenged by any external force or circumstance. In Krnnce the politicians seem te believe that the spiritual inheritances of 1S71 and 1914 are adequate te meet the challenger of thwarted, bewildered and angry mankind. Unlike these statesmen, bankers of the international sort cannot afford te behave as if life were nothing mere thnn a his torical costume play and nn occasion for the repetition of sounding legends of the past. Under the pressure of necessity their think ing must keep in step with the times. Their policies are grounded upon cold nctunlities. Lloyd Geerge cannot safely enture te recommend a policy of empire that would be likely te displease the crowd. French statesmen who take a rational view of the European emergency often have te conceal their thoughts because of a fear of the fear which, previously, they deliberately planted in the minds of their people. Your international banker is under no such restrnint. lie inn't elected te office He hns no sentimentnl fallacies te perpetuate for the tempernry spiritual comfort of his people. He is free te think, act nnd speak as he will without fear of n constituency less able or less willing te leek unpleasant truths In the eye. If men of Mr. Morgan's sort seem te have tee much power It is because the people who complain stubbornly continue te prefer fiction te fact even in a national crisis, and by the force of their will impose a similar hnbit of mind upon their elected leaders, (jankers de nothing of the sort They are net se rec-kss. It may be seriously doubted, even white radicals sneer nt the part that International financiers hnxe come te play openly in the European situation, whether bankers if they had their own way, wouldn't be pacif ists of the most robust sort. Fer they must knew new ex en if they never knew before, that wnr doesn't pa . It was Or Simen Patten, of the Univer sity of Pennsylvania, one of tie ablest and leasr generally appreciated of modem econo mists, wlm said long age that if the bankers of the world could be converted te the idea of peace there could be no mere wsr Simi larly, if bankers are converted te the idea of war there can be no mere peace. Se a conference of international financiers in the open Is a spectacle of i .,, Mignift eance. It may even be n cans.. ier hope. Fer if the bankers can adjusr t li'-ir own colossal differences peacefully, little will be left te fight ever in Europe in Paris at this moment the real powers of Europe nre in open conference- for the t.r&t time in history ' A DRAMA WITHOUT FINALES TF GENOA succeeds," explnimd Lloyd X Geerge In the ceuise of his lengthy justification speech befeie the Heuse of Commens, "n great thing will he accom plished for tlie peace of Europe ' At this point it is conceivable that the opposition, which could inarshnl no mere than twemv six votes against the Prune Minister, ex perienced n peculiar sense of bewilderment. It had been expected by his political fees that tlie Prime Minister would present a picture of embarrassment in the effort te give a plausibly favorable accounting of Ins stewardship at an inconclusive conference. Hut the Georgian sjstem of strategy hud, perhaps, been forgotten. Hud emphatic success been uchieved at Genea, Mr. Llejd Geerge would undoubtedly have consented te legurd the meeting Us duly adjourned. As it is, t.y the emplej ment of cemenient "ifs," he is enabled te con sider the conference ns unfinished until the returns nre In from The Hague. It Is bad statesmanship, even for the bitterest opposition, te defent nn adminis tration in the midst of its program. In thla flew, one of tks reasons for Lleyil Geerge's extended tenirii of office tuuredlv lies. TTTTT11 Tl?TriTT TTTTT A TtnT TlTTT A' C A mTTBTk A V 1VT A "V Ot "IftOO ?

Whnt ever history mny say se runs the defense the curtain did net fall nt Genea. The Prime Minister Is ready te prove that the much -heralded International cenclnvc, which was te have established decisions In realities, was only a prologue. Against this species of maneuvering his political nntngenlsts hnve been powerless te organize effectively. They are confuted at this time by the lure of progress at The Hngue Who would hnve the henrt te halt se fascinating n serial story previous te the grand finnlcV Certainly net the Heuse of Commens, still obviously In the spell of the most adroit statesman In Europe. Naturally, therefore, Mr. Lloyd Geerge deals but scantily In political conclusions. In the bright lexicon of his skillful opti mism there Is always mere te come. He has argued nnd apparently sustained the propo prepo sition that there was no last act at Genea. The artistry of such stage management is quite without modern parallel. OUR WET OCEAN THE terrible news Is out in Washington. Alt the world outside of the United States, mariners en deep waters and the very gulls of the air, knew It long age, but the mere whisper of its significance has shocked the Senate nnd awakened emotions that can have an outlet only in an earth quake of oratory. High wines and beers and, for all we knew, ether beverages of greater potentiality and dynamic power are being sold nnd nctunlly drunk upon essels owned by the United Stntes Government nnd operated by the Shipping Heard! New It Is up te Mr. Velstead te demand that nil these sinful ships be sunk nnd Mr. Hrynn must mourn In public. It Is time for Hilly Sunday te prophesy wrath te be visited upon our ships in the forms of lightning nnd hurricane nnd renring, destructive sens. Evidence te prove what the gulls nnd mari ners nnd travelers knew befere Is being gathered, according te the current news re ports, for the Dry Hlec In Congress. And, perhaps, for Mr. Andersen, of the Antt Antt Saleen League. We are In n bad way. New and then word would come into the country thut when a Shipping Heard ship get beyond the three mile limit ice might sometimes be henrd tinkling In glasses. Stewards moved around freely with bottles and glasses, quite un afraid of raiders or an onslaught from what the dry advocates jej fully call "the licet vessels of the dry navy." Tire Shipping Heard, when asked about these shocking rumors, was reticent and, new that one may remember nil, slightly uncomfortable. It gave no definite answer. Seme of the be'ird officials expressed a de sire te operate passenger ships in fair com petition with ether lines. It was said, tee, thnt for a lenj time, while the dry Ideal wns maintained in the fleets (lf the new Ameri can merchant marine, the ships went back and forward ncress the ecenns empty of pasengeis. One mny only suppose thnt. rather thnn ditch all the ships and take the American flag off the ocean once ngnln. the Shipping Heard succumbed weakly te temptation. New the Government of the United States is techni cally guilty of violating Its own most-talked-of law and Ignoring the most famous amend ment te the Constitution. There may be a way of escape. If Mr. Velstead can tell the Shipping Heard hew te get travelers te travel en dry ships all will be well. The Shipping Beard will cer tainly be glad te pay him largely for a workable suggestion. THE MINERS' SIDE MUCH of what the anthracite miners' committee contended in the open state ment that led te another deadlock and an other temporary adjournment of the confer ence called with the operators in New Yerk for discussion of terms for a settlement of the general coal strike has been charged in Bucccsshe Investigations of the fuel trade. Thus, the miners charge that operators manage te control prices in the retail murket through n system of subsidies for distribu tors has been made before. Tlie allegation that coal companies mnintnin semi-secret ngrerments with allied rail lines te prevent anything like free shipment and an open market has been repeated at various times and places with monotonous persistence. One assertion of the miners' committee is unanswerable. The present labor cost of n ten of coal is S3.."0 A 1.1 per cent wage cut, such as the operators propose, would mean a decrease of only seventy-five cents en n ten of coal. Is that nil that the public can expect from the coal men in these days of falling prices and general readjustment? WHAT BECAME OF THE MONEY? THE testimony before the ieferee by Fred Andrews, former cashier of the defunct firm of E. I. iJler & Ce , must have been mighty interesting reading f-.r the creditors of the firm. Mr. Andrews testified that he entered the emplej of the firm nt S.'O n week and was getting ,300 n week when .r went out of business; thnt he received n ' birthday pres ent" of P 15,000 from hi impleyers; thnt ether brokers gave him presents; that he made out checks for large sums te himself and cashed them, and that he drew ether checks which were cashed b Iier He did net say what was done with the money paid en these checks. As the income of the firm wns only nheut $20,(100, according te the figines of tlie expert accountants, and as Andrews get n salary of 51., 000 and a birthday present of Sl.l.OOO, and as ether sums were paid te ether em em peoj es and te members of the Jinn, it seems te be pretty clear what became of the money intrusted te tin firm for investment. AN AIRPLANE REAWAKENING PROMISE f n passenger air service, starting July 1, between New Yerk nnd Atlantic City represents nt lenst n pnrtlal awakening from the npathv with which Americans hae regarded a mode of transit ulready standardized abroad. Iiesplte a certain proportion of accidents, of which tin collision en the Londen-Paris route Is the most fieaklsh cx.impl), nlr lines in Europe lime become accepted ns among the conventionalities of transportation. Paris-Warsaw airplanes have been for some tlme In service Bookings te n number of Important points can be mnde by lay travel ers In several lending continental cities. Equipment and accommodations have been rapidly lmpmed. , It is curious that Americans, with the pio neering Inspiration of Langley and the Wrights, have been se tardy In opening the resources of nerial navigation te the gen eral public. Even the Government's postal nlr system Is evincing (dements of decay. Airplane travel Is popularly icj nrded us a rash enttire. The possibility of restoring' confidence nnrj eliciting a new Interest lies in the New Yerk-Atlantic City program, providing the mnchines nre thoroughly up te date, the pilots skillful, the prPes fair nnd the pres entation of the service curries the aspect of authority, The sure way te depress the airplane ns a practical factor In transportation Is te emphnslzn it ns n mnrvel, devised exclusively for reckless daredevils. Fer a keynote, the speech of 8euaMfJ Watsen, of Indiana1, wns Jutt a ' "IhTJtery of farquhar "AW, Y'KNOW US, GIFFY!" M He Rede Inte the Enemy's Camp and Rede Out Again With the Pass word A Rare Election Recerd. Beyer's Quiet Life By GEORGE NOX McOAIN AB. FARQUIIAH, of Yerk, new past eighty years of age, has long been a prominent figure and leading Democrat In Southeastern Pennsylvania. My most vivid recollection of Mr. Far quhar was when he was Executive Commis sioner, nppolnted by Gorerner Pottlsen, of Pennsylvania, te the Chicago Columbian Exposition of 1803. He was in absolute charge around the Pennsylvania Building, and there was nobody who ceme In contact with him who was net made aware of the fact. He had a dominant personality. I discovered this en two or three occa sions when for three months after the open lug of the exposition I was In Chicago ns staff correspondent of the Philadelphia Press. Fer a year or se past Mr. Fareuhnr has been engaged In collaboration with Samuel Crewthcr In the preparation of his auto biography. It Is an exceedingly clever book for a man past eighty years; somewhat after the Ed ward Hek style. One of the most Interesting stories he tells Is a Civil War Incident of hew he was really a spy. and ycl was welcomed openly in the Confederate camp. WHEN the Confederates, under General Flt-hugh Lee, started en their raid Inte Pennsylvania, A. B. Farquhar was a mem ber of a local volunteer cavalry company in Yerk. The company started out te reconnelter. The men, unused te riding or discipline, began te grew weary the further they went and dropped out. Finally no one was left but Farquhar. who found himself fifteen miles beyond Hanover, In the vicinity of the rebel forces nnd riding a borrowed horse. "I did net feel thnt I wns in any par ticular danger, and I was net," he says. "I wns net In uniform, nnd anyway our Civil War wns a fight between gentlemen. Moreover, I expected te meet old friends." At length a picket in Southern gray slouched out from the roadside and Inquired ns te his destination. Farquhar fiankly told hlni he was hunt ing for headquarters. The sentry gave him very complete directions and he finally rode te Confederate headquarters nnd entered the tent of General Fitzhugh Lee. fT TOLD him where I had come from and what I had come for," he writes. "Is It true." I asked, "that you're going through Yerk? I'm interested, because I have some property there. " 'Ne.' he answered, without the least hesitation. 'We're net going through Yerk. We may go up through the Cumberland alley toward Harrisburg. Yeu are in no danger. "We gossiped a few minutes mere and then I started te go. General Lee gave me the password, but said that I would prob ably have no difficulty getting out the lines." Mr. Farquhar rode te Yerk and gave the people the Interesting news. That night he went te Harrisburg and had an audience with Governer Curtln. He told him just what he had done and received his thanks for the expedition. General Lee had given the young man per mission te make use of the Information he had given him It was an unusual experience and cleverly told. TXR. O. S. KRIEBEL, of Pennsburg, In JUpper Montgomery County, one of the distinguished educators of Eastern Penn sjlvanie, tells me thnt the aftermath of the primary election furnished an almost un precedented record In three districts in Lpper Montgomery County. 1 de net think the "record has been equaled in any three adjacent districts in the State. In the First District of Upper Hanover Township PInchet received seventeen votes te none for Alter. In the Third District of Upper Hanover PInchet received seventy-seven ballets te none for Alter, while in Pennsburg proper, the borough, out of seventy-two votes cast, only one was recorded for Alter. My friend Dr. Krlebel g, I think, per fectly right in his Matement that these three contiguous districts stand unequalcd in the records of the late election. TTENRY IC BOYER, former State Treas A J. urer, twice Speaker of the Pennsylvania Heuse and during the World Wnr "a feed ndmlnlstrnter for Montgomery County, has for j ears resided in Eansburg, en the Ger Ger mantewn pike, about twenty miles from Philadelphia Mr. Bejer, who Is past seventy years of age. resides in the same house which his , parents bought back in 1841, and in which he himself was born. It is n minim two-story plastered stone dwelling. It has a long extension In the rear, and at the end of the large let are the farm buildings, The side jard Is paved with large flag stones set in cement. An ernamentul Iren fence runs next the pavement, while a veranda extends along the entire front of the structure. Beside the entrance and within touch of the passerby en the sidewalk stands one of the finest umbrella trees in this part of the country The former State Treasurer has been living in Ljaiisbuig for the last fifteen years or mere. He takes, he tells me. only a pass ing interest in present-day politics. .Nearly al the men whom he knew in the heyday of his political career are dead. The last te go was Senater Penrose. He could de no greater service te the coming generation than te write a volume of his personal recollections of the famous men he has known in State politics. Seme day, perhaps, he will de be.

Z--. M )rk NOW MY IDEA IS THIS I Daily Talks With Thinking Philadelphians en Subjects They Knew Best REEVES K. JOHNSON On Seuth American Trade Possibilities THE United States has great possibilities In Its trade with Seuth America, accord ing te Reeves K. Jehnsen, Censul for Chile nnd one 'of the best informed men in the country en conditions in the lower half of the Western Hemisphere, "The World Wnr made mere than surface changes In n let of things," said Mr. John John Jehn eon, "and even countries like these of Seuth America, which were untouched physically, were in some respects profoundly affected ey It. All ever Seuth America there Is a much greater rcipect thnn formerly for the United States nnd n correspondingly greater desire en their part te obtain goods from us. There Is an undercurrent of respect and admiration for the pi egress of our country in the arts and the sciences which did net exist before the war. The Matter of Exchange 'Ter years Seuth America has held ns a club ever the heads of the American manu facturer and exporter the question of ex change nnd the matter of German competi tion, and naturally ns keen buyers, which they nre, they wanted te keep down tne prices of the goods they bought.

"There nre almost unlimited possibilities In the Seuth American market for the mnn ufacturers nnd the exporters of our own country. The point and the munner of contact Is new the thins which is nien im pertant. There should be n meeting of minds in connection with what both want. Fer a long time it was said thnt the American manufacturer would net give tlu Seuth American purchasers what they wanted In goods, especially us te styles, nnd that was the chief reason why the bulk of the trade went te Euiepe. when wc were perfectly nble te compete with any country in the world for it, Seme coneessi jus must be made en betli sides; we must be mere lenient In our terms and they must be mure 'elerant of our methods. If tnis can be accomplished there is no doubt thet in u few yenrs we shall hnve the bulk of this grent trade. Our Geographical Advantage "We have also a decided go igraphlc.il advantage ever Europe, We havu n con siderably snerter huh, we are getnn faster beats and mere of them, se tha- we shall seen have n lnrte excess tounage which will Insure low freight rates tieni the United States for many years te come. "But In this connection there is one matter which must be taken Inte iorMdern ierMdern iorMdern tlen, and that is that our shipping laws make the cost of shipping operation mure expensive from here than from Europe, We must therefore provide for this lu some ether way. The difference agnlnst us In the costs of operut.en is se great that our rhertcr haul does net compensate fe- It. "I urn net an expert en shipping, but It seems te me Hint our bhlpplug lri'vw shuul ' be modified, If that be at ull possible, te permit our vesst s te compete wi.lt Ihecc of European countries en nn equal feeling. Seme action looking te this end must cer tainly be taken If our merchant marine Is te continue te dcelep, for uh long ui wc nre undersold en transportation costs the American manufacturer will have difficulty In developing and holding his Seuth Ameilcm market, us of ceurse thesH costs must be paid by the ultluiate consumer.

"The war has had the general effect of unifying Ner nnd Seuth America psy chologically. If one may use the term in this sense, ns well ns bringing about a bet ter commercial understanding. Tho6e coun tries are sending official and unofficial dele gations te our country te study out- school system and many ether things in which they admit our leadership. There Is an ad miration for the United States and n feeling of sympathy for our Ideals which have never before been manifested there. It will be te the benefit of both In many ways If this feeling Is festered and reclprecntcd by us. There Is even talk of prohibition in Chile', nnd while It appears te be n long ways off, still It Is one of the btruws which show the attention with which they are watching our great national movements. Enormous Natural Resources "Seuth America net only presents an ex ceedingly rich trade market, but It hns nnt ural resources which have as yet scarcely been scratched. The development of these resources is really a mere natural problem for the United States te solve thnn for any ether country, because this development fol fel lows se closely along the lines of the devel opment of our own resources seventy-five or one hundred years age. Enterprises along the same vast scale as hns been shown in this country will seen be needed In Seuth America. "Still another thing which mny be made te de much te cement the friendship of the northern and southern parts of this hemis phere Is the Brazilian centennial celebra tion, which will take plnce this year. One of the most important considerations Is that American representation there will be con sidered n courtesy te Brazil and hence te all of the Seuth American republics, and courtesy counts for a great deal in dealing with these peoples. The Brazilian Celebration "The celebration Is te commemorate the 100th anniversary of the independence of Brazil from Portugal In 182.!, In a manner it might be said te be unfortunate thut thu exhibition buildings hnve been erected bv a private, corporation nnd that the space, therefore, will be rented, but It will be a graceful thing If n lnrge number of the mnnufnctuiers of our country make exhibits and thus show their sympathy with the movement and the celebration, just us Brazil did bv sending Dem Pedre te our Centennial in 1870. "Any exhibitions which mav be made there by American manufacturers will have a vnlue far beyond that of mere advertising although this element will, by no means, be wasted. But It will serve an an earnest of our Kympnthy and friendship with Brazil and, by implication, with all the Seuth American countries, which will leek upon participation us a broader expression of friendship and which will bring geed results in inore ways than one, "I sincerely hope for these reasons (hut there will be a lnrge number of American nruin reiircweiiieu ac ine iiruziunn exposi tion.
