PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY. OCTODER II, HIS.
If "only the steel spur would make a child
learn as it tclll make a horse do,
the problem of education
would be solved.
OVER IN JERSEY
SUFFRAGISTS in Pennsylvania will un
doubtedly bo affected by the result of
tomorrow's balloting across the Delaware
If suffrage, with the help of Mr. Woodrow
Wilson, acting as a prlvato citizen, be car
ried, Fcnnsylvanlans will take It as an omen
of good fortune for themselves. If It un
happily falls, they will know that they must
work harder still for their own victory.
Both sides are hopeful. Both sides, on this
bank of tho river, send best wishes. The
suffragists in New Jersey, as everywhere else,
have put up a good, clean fight, and they
ought to win. The antls have fought back
so straight and so deftly that they have al
most proved their opponents" contentions.
Those who have been bo capable In tho heat
of battle are certainly capable of the sec
ondary struggle of an ordinary election.
THE BIGGER LEAGUE ISLAND
THERE should be no objection anywhere
to the proposed enlargement of tho facili
ties of tho League Island Navy Yard so that
battleships can be built there.
There are more expert shipbuilders In and
around Philadelphia than in any other simi
lar territory in the United States. And there
is no other navy yard which occupies such
a strong strategic position. The naval ex
perts have long been aware of these facts;
but they have not been able to persuade tho
lay powers that be to make us,e of the facili
ties that can easily be assembled here for
building the biggest fighting machines.
If Secretary Daniels can persuade Con
gress to adopt his League Island plans as
part of the general program of naval expan
sion he will deserve well of his country, for
the development of the navy yard here Is
not a local but a national issue.
ANOTHER CENSORSHIP FARCE
FOU the fourth time In recent months the
courts have reversed the photoplay cen
sorship and have permitted plays to bo
shown which the board had refused to pass.
The most recent and most notorious case
is that of a film adaptation of a story and
opera. Merimee and Bizet, and with them
the hundreds of thousands who have read or
seen their work, would have been put under
a moral ban were It not for the sane dis
crimination of tho Judges called upon to re
view the work of the Board of Censors.
In this case, at least, there was some talk
by producers of all or nothing. In other re
cent cases tho board has wilfully and arbi
trarily refused permission to exhibitors with
out even fully admitting the possibility of
cutting. In these very cases the board was
overruled.
Decidedly it is now the duty of the Board
of Censors to prove by facts and figures that
tho moral tone of Philadelphia has deterio
rated since these films were shown. If it
cannot prove that Philadelphia has been de
graded and demoralized by these Alms, tho
board will establish Its right to be consid
ered a fit companion for the Ohio Board,
widely known as tho stupidest film censors
In tho country.
SIGNS OF PROGRESS
PIEItS five hundred and fifty feet long are
all very well In their way, but if the port
of Philadelphia Is to take the place which
Its ship channel will soon Justify It in ex-
pectlng to hold among the ports of the world
longer piers will have to be built. Seattle
already has a pier half a mile long, and New
York Is constantly lengthening its piers to
j0 accommodate the new steamships. One of
the great passenger ships would extend out
Into tho stream a couple of hundred feet If
It were docked at the new Southwark plera
turned over to the city on Saturday, The
city has made a good beginning, however, In
providing modern accommodations for ships.
But we must all admit that it Is only a be
I ginning. More and larger piers must follow
t until we can offer dockage facilities unsur
passed, in any other port.
AT THE MERCY OF JAPAN
TiHB Japanese Government subsidizes the
Japanese-owned steamships in the Pacific
trade. Of 490,000 tons or shipping available
for transpacific business, United States Con
' ul General Anderson, of Hongkong, reports
Mutt 430,000 tons are owned In Japan. When
be. last of the ships of the Pacific Moll
IReamahtp Company was transferred from
American to Japanese entry, because under
tfte pondltlons of the neamen'a Jaw it could
not he operated profitably, tho Japanese
Government ordered tho Japanese ship, now
monopolizing the trade, to raise the freight
ritem on all 'goods from American PacMo
irctifrt ports to Japan and China, The Eat
mm r(ht rates are unchanged.
Tlw tocreased freight rates act a a pro
tMtfew to on Japanese good. They make

enough of them to provide competition and
to keep freights at a reasonable figure. But
tho bunglers In Washington havo In A single
year transformed the great western ocean
Into n Japanese lako and havo put tho whole
western coast of the continent at the mercy
of the ablo and alert Orientals, who havo
long been planning to dominate that ocean
as the British now dominate tho Atlantic.
It Is difficult to understand how even the
Democrats can look on this achievement of
their leaders with any degree of satisfaction.
MORTGAGING THE CANAL
(TUIERE seems to bo no Immediate way
--out of mortgaging tho Panama Canal to
ralso money for national defense. The Gov
ernment closed tho last fiscal year with a
deficit of about $70,000,000. Plans nro under
way for Increasing the appropriations for
the army and navy by $140,000,000, malting a
total of $400,000,000, and no new sources of
revenue havo been found.
The situation Is so exigent that it has al
ready been announced that tho free sugar
sections of tho tariff law are to bo repealed
and that the temporary war tax Is to be
continued. But moro must bo done If the
Government Is to close the next fiscal year
with a deficit under $160,000,000 or $200,000,000.
Tho easiest thing to do Is to hock tho
canal. When tho construction of that great
waterway was authorized Congress provided
for tho lssuo of bonds to pay for tho work.
But under n Republican Administration and
under Republican taxation laws there was
surplus enough above the ordinary expenses
of government to pay for about alt tho dig
ging on the Isthmus as it went along. A few
bonds were Issued, but not many.
It Is as though a business man enlarged
his factory and arranged to mortgage it to
ralso tho money, but found that business
was so good that ho could pay for the build
ing out of current profits. But he put a new
manager in charge, who was not only unable
to meet current expenses, but found It nec
essary to mortgago tho building paid for out
of previous profits to get money to keep the
business moving.
Tho Administration cannot get away from
this Indictment of Its financial efficiency. It
has failed, and failed miserably. Of course
the war has had something to do with tho
case; but the efficient manager would havo
provided last winter against the contingen
cies of tho war. Tho failure to make ade
quate provision then Is only another item in
the indictment.
While the leaders In Washington are
making their plans for national defense the
hard-headed voters throughout the country
are making their plans. They know that
borrowing money on long-term bonds to pay
for warships Is as stupid as putting a ten
year mortgage on a farm to buy a mowing
machine. Maintenance of tho army and
navy is properly a charge on current rev
enues. Tho Importance of putting' men in
power in Washington who are able to frame
laws that will raise needed revenues, and at
tho same time protect the Industries of tho
nation, Is so great that it cannot be ignored.
The Democracy which slipped into power by
accident has failed again, and all Its floun
dering about in an attempted mastery of
problems too big for it for the next year
will only make its incompetence moro and
more evident.
OF THE FOREIGN LEGION
DEFINITE news has come of the death, in
the Foreign Legion fighting for Franco,
of an American poet, Alan Scegar. His death
came almost simultaneously with the pub
lication of his first poem In a major maga
zine. Previous to that time he had written
a prose article, "As a Soldier Thinks of
War," which Is one of the most penetratlvo
studies of soldier-psychology ever penned by
one engaged In actual warfare.
For the rest, Alan Scegar's name was un
known. As an undergraduate at Harvard he
was a familiar figure. His poetry had a pas
sion and a delicacy which are rare enough
in the work of young men. But his pre
occupation with blue roses could hardly have
been chosen as a guarantee of his military
efficiency. By practical standards he was a
failure.
Yet tho young man who dreamed his days
away gave himself freely to tho country he
loved, and was a good soldier. Of such a
soldier, dying In action, ho wrote:
For his comfort Is the sense of his life's
blood flowing close to the heart of that
cosmic entity of which he feels himself a
fraction, and In whose movements It Is the
measure of his life's success to play the
most essential, the most Intimate part.
It is not often that a soldier becomes a
man and remains a poet.

TO THE SHOP IN
WEST THIRD STREET
Thither Orvillo Wright Returns to
Devote His Genius to Further
Conquests in tho Science of
Human Flight
By HENRI BAZIN
ORVILLE WRIGHT, rcllovcd from every
posslblo material enro nt 44, will devote
his llfo to scientific research In developing
an absolutely safe aeroplane. Tho recent
sale of tho Wright Company to a group of
New York capitalists
for $1,500,000 is rela
tively an unimpor
tant thing to thts
staid, modest, retir
ing citizen of Day
ton, who has literally
worked his passago
and hewn his way to
the undying plnnaclo
ho occupies. Rather,
to uso his own
words:
"It will give me
time to think, to
studyr to experiment,
to take up the work
again In that Uttlo
shop over In West 3d
street that the world
onviLLE umaiiT
has kept mo from, there to devote tho rest
of my llfo to the thing dearest to my soul
scientific research."
In tho big plant that will bo erected in
Dayton Orvillo Wright will retain a finan
cial Interest, and to Its trained forco act in
an ndvlsory capacity; but It will be over
"In the little shop In West 3d street," where
his heart Is, that will be evolved from his
lnventlvo and scientific genius a flying ma
chine that will bo absolutely safe for whom
soever may wish to run one.
A French Toy
"Will be," It U here written; for if this
man's life is spared, it will as surely como
as tomorrow's dawn. Before tho original
flight of their power-driven, heavler-than-alr
machlno upon the sandy shoro at Kitty
Hawk,. North Carolina, on December 17, 1903,
Orvillo and his brother Wilbur knew the ma
chlno would fly; know It positively as a
proved scientific fact. "It had to fly," they
said; "wo havo worked out our formula for
tho actions of tho air, verified them by ro
peated experiments that have shown tho
same results under Identical conditions, and
built the machlno accordingly. It must fly;
and It will." Which it did, with the in
ventors aboard, a distance of 800 feet at an
elevation of 100 feet, for a period of five min
utes, before three members of tho Kill Devil
Life-saving Station and two citizens of tho
nearby town of Manteo.
Orvillo and Wilbur were th"o younger of
four brothers, who, with their sister, wore
the children of Bishop Wright, of tho United
Brethren Church, and his wife, who was a
college graduate, then a rare distinction for
a woman. Bishop Wright was an educator
and editor of a religious paper, who, in tho
course of tho pursuit of his profession, had
traveled In many parts of tho 'world. The
boys did not go to college, llko their elder
brothers, tho early death of their mother ne
cessitating a change in the plans theii father
had for them. They hod the advantage of
access to their father's library of more than
2000 volumes.whlch included many works upqp."
science and art. Late in the autumn of 1878,
when Wilbur was 11 and Orville 7 years of
age, their father brought homo one evening
a French toy, a hellcoptcrc, which when
thrown In the air flew of its own accord
across the room and fluttered like a wounded
bird at the celling for a mlnuto cro It sank
Blowly to tho floor. It did not last long,
being of frail and delicate construction; but
It left an abiding memory with Orvillo and
his brother; it was tho sun that generated
into life tho germ of science within their
souls. So from tiny acorns do great oaks
grow. In tho scientific books In tho family
library tho boys read of tho experiments of
Otto Lillenthal with a glider of his own in
vention; going to school meanwhile, playing,
skating, fishing and bicycling with the boys
of their neighborhood. When they left school
they went Into the printing business to
gether, and very shortly afterward into tho
blcyclo business.
In the meantime, quietly, unostentatiously,
they wcro experimenting with air gliders and
flying machines, basing their efforts upon
scientific deduction. They sought and found
the scientific reasons for tho failures of LU
Icnthn and others. They experimented with
little curved sheets of steel of different sizes
and shapes, which they suspended In delicate
balance within tubes, through which steady
currents of air were blown, changing tho
angles of the Btecl sheets and tho speed of
the air, noting, comparing, studying, until
they had perfected an apparatus that re
peatedly gave Identical results. They then
''plotted" the shape of their plane accord
ingly: and the results wcro that scientifically
the machlno had to fly, which, practically,
It did. With the plane .perfected, they
brought their genius to bear upon a pro
peller, solving a problem that had previously
baffled all marine and aeronautical engi
neers. Then, and not until then, they Inquired of
the United States Weather Bureau where
upon the Eastern coast tho winds blew
strongest and steadiest, and wcro Informed,
"Kitty Hawk, North Carolina." Thence they
went, built a shack upon the beach, living
in it while putting1 their aeroplane together
and tuning It to perfection. "It Just had to
fly": and It did.
These men of genius, tho elder of whom,
Wilbur, died of typhoid fover In 1912, worked
out their problem with little capital, In an
Industrial town far from any scientific cen
tre, in the upper story of a little building,
their bicycle shop, in "West 3d street,"
bringing to birth without tho knowledge of
their townsmen a now wonder of the world.
Presently, as time goes by, the world will
be modestly Informed that Orville Wright,
scientist and Inventor, has perfected In the
"little shop in West 3d street" on absolutely
safe aeroplane, that will bo controllable in
nil conditions of wind and weather, without
danger to the Jlfe of the driver. It will be
constructed scientifically; and It will do
everything claimed for It, becaute it "will
Just have to,"

PHILADELPHIA,
MEDICAL CAPITAL
Its History Has Justified Title De
mand That Only Trained Sur
geons Should Do the Cut
ting Originated Here
By EDWARD R. BUSHNELL
PHILADELPHIA docs not require a
merger of tho medical department of tho
University of Pennsylvania and tho Medico
Chlrurglcal College to make thts city the hub
of America's medical learning and research.
It Is that already, and has been from tho
very beginnings of medical science on this
continent. What tho merger will do will be
to give Philadelphia a post-gradHato school,
where advanced Instruction may be obtained
and research work prosecuted on a scalo
that only European schools havo offered In
the past. To accomplish this tho educational
and scientific bodies of tho city hope tho
trustees of tho two institutions will succeed.
Philadelphia may bo pardoned If It seems
a triflo boastful of the many Institutions it
hus originated for the advancement of learn
ing. The University of Pennsylvania Med
ical School, founded In 1765, was the first
medical school In North America. Here also
was founded In 1751 by Benjamin Franklin
the Pennsylvania Hospital, likewise the first "
instjjutlon of Its kind in America. This city
also had tho distinction of f'ouhdlng Amer
ica's first medical school for women, In 1850.
Tho medical school of tho University of
Pennsylvania was tho first to establish Its
own hospital, with a school for the Instruc
tion of nurses. Today Philadelphia is tho
only city In America all of whoso medical
schools have their own hospitals. In 1786
was established tho Philadelphia Dispensary,
tho first of Its kind In America, and now lo
cated at 125 South 5th street.
In view of Philadelphia's pioneer relation
to medical science it is not surprising that
Its history Is in many respects also tho na
tional medical history, Tho University Med
ical School became to America what Edin
burgh's famous medical school was to Eu
rope Its professors have written virtually
one-half of tho textbooks which aro standard
In medical colleges throughout the United
States, and Its graduates have been promi
nent on other medical faculties. Likewise
the leading physicians and surgeons of this
city havo been famous throughout tho nation
and even In Europe.
In Colonial Days
Dr. John Morgan was the man who
founded po University Medical School in
1765. His influence In the teaching of medl-'
clno has been far reaching. Not only was
he one of tho pioneers In his Insistence upon
a thorough preparation for the practice of
medicine, but he was the first to emphaslzo
tho essential dlfferenco between medicine and
surgery. Ho declared that the two required
different types of men and that a man should
specialize In one or the other.
Tho WIstar Institute of Anatomy, now a
part of tho University, was named after Dr.
Caspar WIstar, whoso work on anatomy in
1811 was ono of tho first medical textbooks
In America. An nssoclate of Doctor WIstar,
Dr. Nathanlol Chapman, was tho originator
of the present quiz system in our medical
schools. Doctor Chapman also established
the first permanent medical Journal In
America,
It was in Philadelphia, on the Initiative of
our own University, that the first definite
step was taken to raise the educational re
quirements of medical schqols. That was in
1848, when the representatives of 28 medical
colleges and 40 medical societies met hero to
consider medical ethics. Doctor Chapman
was tho first president and Dr. Alfred Stlllo
ono of the secretaries of the association.
Probably tho city's most famous physician
after Doctor Morgan and Doctor Rush was
Doctor Joseph Leldy. This man was so bril
liant that no single field of activity could
contain him. As a boy ho was wonderfuly
fond of natural history, and in later life de
veloped remarkable skill In drawing. Al
though ho graduated from the University
Medical School in 1644, ho did not seriously
practice medicine. He was world-famous for
his contributions to scientific literature, as
anatomist, geologist, zoologist asd botanist.
His greatest achievement and the greatest
boon ho gave to humanUy was his discovery
In 1847 of the hoc trkbtaa and his preof that
man could become infected by mUhs; 'in
fected meat.
One of the greatest of Philadelphia's swr
eos was Dr. 8. D. Gross, a graduate of
Jeftersos College, founded In 1824. JCa,
0UB(i4 ana k, th North American
.Modlce-CWrUrgleal Review ana wrote etn
alvcly on surgery. Je also t eu!ed the Aeadf
emy of ahirjrery of I'hUaAelavhla in l7f, and
a year later the American. Surgical Associa
tion. In 1ST he was chose, president ot the.
International Medical Cortgreas. Blnce his

Hayes Agnew, ono of the consulting physi
cians who were called upon whon President
Garfield was shot, and Dr. Alfred Stllle, a
linguist as well as a surgeon and head of
tho University's Medical School.
Ono thing that has distinguished Philadel
phia's medical men has been their broad cul
ture. Such men as Dr. Benjamin Rush, Dr.
Joseph Leldy and Dr. John Kcarslcy in tho
early days wero qulto as remarkable for
their literary and administrative ability as
for-thelr medical attainments. In later years
tholr mantles fell on Dr. William Pepper,
Dr. William Osier and Dr. S. Weir Mitchell.
Doctor Pepper has left his mark on many
Philadelphia institutions. As Provost of tho
University, he raised tho standards of med
ical education In America.
