AS TO SEGER
r' WOULD not do the 7th Ward any harm
to defeat Chariot) Soger,
Mr. Soger, of course. Is not responsible for
the high death rote in the ward, or for tho
ahameful mortality among Infants, or for tho
fact that tuberculosis Is more prevalent In
the Seventh than in any other ward in the
city. But Mr. Seger Is In very large moasuro
responsible for the lack of adequate housing
laws and for underdralnod alleys and open
vaults and other things that aro a mennco
to health. Persistently and consistently ho
has dono what he could to prevent modern
sanitation In his own ward. lie is "too
busy" to worry about tho death rate.
Perhaps the voters of the ward, those of
them who do not want to dlo for Soger, will
vote for health and life and a representative
in Select Councils who will bo busy in their
Interests Instead of his own.
THE QUESTION UNANSWERED
WHY Berlin should have gone to tho
trouble of repudiating Robert Fay, who
claims ho was sent hero by tho Imperial
Secret Service, is hard to understand. No
one expected that Berlin would admit Its
connection with the man. National sulcldo
Is not an everyday occurrence and it Is a
tradition that spies when caught aro to bo
disowned. It remulns for tho courts to de
termine whether Hobert Fay or Baron
Mumm von Schwarzenstein is telling tho
truth.
If Robert Kay was not sent hero with
criminal Intent by the Secret Service of tho
German Foreign Office which may. on tho
whole, bo assumed by whom was ho sent?
Ho had a certain command of money. Ho
was better Informed than any one man or
any small group of men could be without a
large nnd powerful assistance. Who sup
plied that money and that information? If
this Is not a case of international injury. Is
It a case of treachery at home?
RECOGNIZED!
MR. EDISON, by declaring for a naval ex
perimental station to be situated In
Philadelphia, makes it unanimous. Here in
Philadelphia there will bo no objections.
The advantages of Philadelphia ace so out
standing that any doubt on tho matter seems
to smack of local pride alone. The necessity
of placing the naval laboratory on Atlantic
deep water is evident, and tho Naval Board
does not propose to build a testing station on
waters that are not capable of receiving tho
very highest typo of battleship under con
struction. The extension of the League
Island Yard, where Government land Is al
ready available, where wharves and docks
are prepared for tho reception of dread
noughts, is a desirable thing. Tho city can
offer In return for the advantages It gets a
supply of labor and a combination of land
and water transportation facilities which aro
truly remarkable. In tho eyes of Philadel
phia Mr. Edison Is Justifying the trust
placed In him by the good Judgment he
shows.
THE CABINET CRISES
POR the second time within a month tho
strategic history of the Great War has
been dwarfed by tho Intensity of a dlplo
Vatio crisis, Tho resolution of tho Balkan
Juration was not completed with tho dec
nratlon of Bulgaria and the postponement
has been as Ineffective as choking llro with
jlndllng Yesterday the whole structure of
Allied diplomacy seemed destined to ruin.
The change from Vlvlanl to Brland would
be almost without significance If It did not
Involve a readjustment of military relations
among the Allies. M. Vlvlanl' resignation
was i-evltable from the moment when It be
came f Icar England either could not or would
not ta' " the burden of the Serbian campaign
upen cnrelf, The failure of M. Vlvlanl's
colic v U13 In Greece and Rumania U not
definite, but Is sufficiently marked to ag
gravate a situation already Intolerable. At
the same time, the strategic situation in the
west In favorable only if France can rely
upon an unbroken line and Inexhaustible re
bout etr. Both of these are threatened by
the Balkan campaign.
In thnt vicious circle of argument France
clearly sees that a new attitude toward Eng
land must bo found. Rustilu Is a defeated
nation Italy Is prooocupled with her own
struggle Ergland, despite the overwhelm
Jng service she has given on the sea, has
neither been so affected nor so Imperiled as
her two major Allies. Now for tho first time
Egypt and India are threatened and the Ger
man drive toward the Dardanelles may
strike England at the end. In tho face of
that disaster the British Cabinet, already
riddled by criticism to whleh It cannot pre
sent a unanimous answer, will not persist.
If Lloyd-George, or a man of his energy,
liould emerge os Brland has emerged, the
diplomatic rehabilitation of the Allies might
successfully be accomplished It Is too early
to call the French -drama a victory for the
Central Fmpires It is a turning point in
T war as auicly as wp the battle on the
ft But It is so fir without Issue
if these spcillr raws which engross
t of the world there Is a principle
still to bo determined. Sinco tho war began
Germany and Austria have been, unham
pered by ministerial dtaaensions. chiefly
through the dominance of Germany's cen
tralized command The democratic countries,
Kngktnd and France, and the Imperfect au
tocracy of Uuixila, have liewn compHlad to
weaken themselves with Internal trtl;,I
when the jrxeat duty lay abroad. It Kevins
to point, at the present moment, to the Im
)on1blltty of democratic control of diplo
macy. It points to -the necessity of central
lt1 and almost unresiionslble. powers for the.
conduct of foreign affairs. V assume, In
thl country, that a demoerat' self-govein-mettt
Is a iwfwlblll. It Is for us to watch
with anxious eyes to determine, whether a
democracy -an deal effectively with a power
Immune from the control of the people.
DO YOU GOT IT, MR. CONNELLY?
JOHN t. CONNBLIA Is hard to please If
" he is not more than satisfied with Mr
Porter's explanation or he use made of the
fund rateod to pay for an Investigation Into
the way the city haw ween run.
Porter owed 110 accounting to Conncllv, for
Connelly was not one of the contributors
But Connelly said ho wanto.d to know, .mil
Porter has been watting for Jum such a
chance to tell him.
It was used, first, to find out how "Jim"
McNIchol'a ward was run, and the Investi
gators discovered that thero were forged
names on McNlehoVs own nomination papers
tor tho Senate 600 of them, all told, on tho
papers of three candidates.
Connelly mwt bo glad to know this.
They found out also that thero were 3S,0o0
fraudulent names on tho registration rolls
In tho city, put thero by tho men who know
that If thero wore a fair -olo tho; could not
contlnuo In control.
Connelly must bo glad to know tlila also.
Porter has only Just begun to tell what ha
found out. If Connelly Is not satisfied with
tho answer thus far before Porter gets
through ho will discover that Porter spent
tho money without wasting a single dollar.
THE RIGHT KIND OF A PARK
IF LEAGUE ISLAND PARK la dovclopcd
In accordance with tho plans made public
yesterday, South Philadelphia will have a
breathing placo unsurpassed of Its kind. Tho
great recreation Hold of thlrty-nvo acres,
with spneo for football games, military man
euvers and aviation, could not bo moro ud
mlrably located. Besides this, there will bo
a large playstoad for boys, a great meadow,
two lakes, groves?, walks, drives, a swimming
pool and all tho attractions of a modern
park.
Whllo tho park must bo built, the. city has
no money to wnsto on It, for it needs Its re
sources for developing Its water front, its
transit system and its parkway and for
erecting tho needed public buildings. It is
Important, therefore, that for the next four
years tho city business bo in tho hands of
men who will think first of tho city nnd will
not uso tho contracts for Improving tho
League Island tract merely as opportunities
for loot.
WHAT SCHOOLS ARE FOR
We hope to et the teacher and parent to
gether in one common object that the wel
faro of the child will be the first considera
tion Mrs. Schoff to the Pennsylvania Con
gress of Mothers and Parent-Teacher Asso
ciations. THAT any ono should think It necessary
to mako such n statement is a sad com
mentary on our system of public behoof edu
cation. What aro tho schools for If tho wel
fare of tho children Is not put before every
thing else?
Many parents, however, have discovered
that when thero must bo a choico between
whut is best for an individual child and a
modification of a system the child must
suffer instead of tho system Then, thero are
educators who seem to regard children as
tho raw material for pedagogical experi
mentation and aro Indifferent to the effect on
the children when tho experiments fall.
Before Ideal conditions prevail thero must
bo many compromises between tho anxious
mothers and the system-bound teachers. Tho
mother thinks too much of tho Idlosyncra
cles of her little boy and tho teacher Is too
much absorbed In working tho educational
machine. Tho activities of tho few associa
tions of parents, already formed, nro bene
fiting tho schools by giving tho teachers,
most of whom aro young, unmarried women,
a new point of view. The wlso teachers nre
welcoming nil such help In their work, when
It la help and not merely meddling by idlers.
WHERE DOES SLANG "GET OFF"?
THE ways of slang are devious and strange
and no man can say what It is going to do
nojU. It Is tho "yellow kid" of language, or
was some twelve yoars ago. The professor
hears It on the street and Indulge) In It, and
tho street boy hears It no one knows wher
and picks It up and U happy.
Tho other day a sales agent, protesting
against unfair treatment, demanded to know
where he "got off at." "Getting off at" any
thing or anywhere appears to tho simple
mind as sometnlng of a triumph of acro
batics. You can, of course, get off the train
at the station, but to get off at simply to
be off at gives you the Imp reunion of re
maining somehow In a state of animated sus
pension In mld-alr. The Congressman who
awoke In the midst of a debate on Internal
waterway or was It the tariff? nnd cried
out, "Where am I at?" was not more classic
than this sales agent.
It seoms that "getting off" la not a pleas
ant thing. One Iw advised to acquire spec
tacles. Why? To see where you get off. It
sounds unpleasant. Add an "at" and It
sounds Impossible. Where does slang get
off at?
It Smith is a mask, he Is a transparent ono.
It Is a good thing that Ford talked before
talk of Ford for the Presidency amounted to

This talk of Ambasaasar Page resigning Is
all foollshnosM. The Zeppollns have not been
near his residence.
Hhaklng up their Cabinets may be a good
thing; but after all, what the Allies have
to do Is shako up the Germans.
Why does the Organisation want to win?
Well, there was a balanee of Jll, 677,914,16 In
the city treasury Wednesday night.
Yes, Senator Penrose Is for rapid transit,
Including the loop, but that Is all the good

FRANCE'S NEW
PRIME MINISTER
Brland the Brilliant Once Mora
llends French Cabinet A Man
Whose Partisanship Became
Lost in Patriotism
By ELLIS RANDALL
BKIAND the Brilliant has come baok. A.
return In French polities Is not like a re
turn In American politics. Thero are few
Salt Creek.. In Fiance. The fall of a FreHOh
mlnlplr sNdm denotes anything oomserntn
memlier.
Brland was Presi
dent Polnenre's first
Premier. He Is Ilia
latest and perhaps
the last. When ha
was Premier under
the presidency of
Fnllleres ho liad two
great problems to
handle, ono of them
rising out of the
strike of employes of
tho State railways,
the other being the
administration of tho
UlAND
Church nnd State separation act. In dealing
with these iuestlims ho pleaxcd neither tho
Clericals nor the Radicals, who formed one of
those unnatural combinations for purpose
of obstruction which nro the bono of French
politics. Then came that familiar occurrcnco
known as a "Cabinet crisis." Then tho fall
of the Brland Government. It was only a
check. Observers In Franco nnd In other
countries had discovered an Important fact.
Brland In tho premiership hnd graduated
from tho ranks of political partisans Into tho
smaller group of statesmen. Ho hnd dis
played large-nilmlodncss, breadth of vlow,
courage truo statesmanlike qualities; henco
his defeat could bo only a temporary check.
Not tho least Interesting fact nbout Brland
Is his striking resemblance, In certain par
ticulars, to tho Englishman, Lloyd-George.
Onco he remarked to a friend that tho two
men ho was most desirous of meeting woro
Andrew Fisher, workingman Premier of Aus
tralia, and David Lloyd-George.
No Fortune Maker
There is a story of tho days when ho was
a lawyer and n loader of the revolutionary
Sorialists, ns follows: "Fifteen years had ho
spent In a sort of nomadic life, as barrister,
as Journalist, as trade unionist orator, polit
ical organizer, congressman, general secre
tary to the French Socialist party. 'In spite
of his splendid gifts,' his comrades used to
say, 'Arlstldo will never mako his fortuno
at tho bar." "Why?" 'Because tho only
clients ho cares for aro tho proletarian vic
tims of our economic anarchy, whoso grati
tude Is his reward. Optimist though ho is.
ho feels acutely tho lnjustlco of the social
state. "Gentlemen of tho Jury," Arlstldo has
been heard to exclaim, "In defending my
client I am defending myself." ' "
When tho United Socialist party was
formed. Its members bound by International
agreement not to accept ofilco In "bourgeois"
governments, Brland, like Vlvlanl, stayed
outside. From Pnrrien ho received tho port
folio of Public Instruction and from Clemon
coau tho portfolio of Juhtlco. To Jaures and
his followers Brland seemed a traitor nnd
a renegade. Their scorn rose almost to fury
when ho adopted tho rigorous measures by
which tho great railway strike was settled.
Llko Vlvlanl again, and llko Mlllorand, ho
still gives his allegiance to Socialism, tho
Socialism of Proudhon, but not of Knrl
Marx. It Is a Socialism not widely different
In spirit from that of Lloyd-George, which
Is well off without tho capital letter.
Brland was born at Nantes, where his pa
rents kept a small hotel. Ho found his path
from tho elementary school to tho university
beset with dlfllcultlos, but surmounted them
all. On completing his legal studies ho estab.
Hshed himself In practice at St. Nazalre. It
was not until 1902, when ho w-as elected
deputy for tho Loire Department, that any
considerable number of people In Franco
knew him from Adam. Tho religious strlfo
was at Its height. Brland drafted tho Church
and State separation bill.
In 1009 ho became Premier, accepting tho
portfolio of tho Ministry of Public Worship.
Tho first thing ho did was to go nnd sea
"my dear old mother." Then ho returned to
Paris. His Radical allies expected that ho
would enforco tho provisions of tho separa
tion law with drastic severity. They would
havo been satisfied with nothing less than
absolute and destructive antagonism to tho
Church. Brland Fought to lay tho founda
tion for a good working relation between tho
Church and State. Ho censed to bo a parti
san. Ho himself called his administration
"Tho Ministry of Republican Conciliation."
But tho real tost of his ability nnd courage
camo at the tlmo of the strike on tho French
railways. Tho country was faced with tho
prospect of a long-continued condition of
dangerous disorder. Ho ceased to be a man
of n class and became a leader of the nation.
Ho suppressed tho strike by summary meth
ods of calling the strikers to tho colors. They
obeyed tho Government. Then ho made a
series of legislative proposals advocating, for
one thing, n system of compulsory arbitra
tion. Part of his program was enacted
Into law, but the Radicals and Conservatives
effected an alliance, nnd a llttlo later Brland
resigned.
"Notre Arlstldo"
Tc hlf oratorical gifts Brland owes much
for his rapid though long-delayod rise to
public prominence. As a boy he delighted
In attending public meetings for the purpose
of hearing tho speakers. With a school. fel
low now a bootmaker at St. Nazalre, and
proud of the now Premier's friendship ho
used to go assiduously to a Catholic church
to profit by the eloquence of the preacher.
On his entry Into the Clomenceau Cabinet,
an Kngllshman wrote of Brland'a voice "A
penetrating voice, audible In its lowest tones
at the remotest corner of the Chamber, It is
what Carlyle would call a 'downy' voice, a
caressing voice, a coaxy voice: since Gam
betta's, tho most seductive heard In tho
Palais Bourbon."
Brland Is somewhat tall for a Frenchman
and has a slight stoop. Ills blaok, straight
hair Is brushed straight back from a square,
massive forehead. His face has usually
a somewhat melancholy expression. His dark
eyes look out with a tranquil, searching gaze.
But the workmen of fet. Etlenne most of
them now gone to the war know his genial,
frank, unassuming manner, and say that
"Notre Arlstlde Is like ourselves."

SPEAKING THE PUBLIC MIND
Letters From Readers on Some of the Vital Political Issues of the
Day in City, State and Nation Expressions of Opinion
on Other Topics of Local and General Interest
To tho Editor 0 Kvcnlng Ledger:
Sir If the present tariff were working per
fectly there nnuld be no Tariff Commission
League In our opinion, howpcr, the proof thnt
tho present tariff, which we believe to lio one of
tho most conscientiously drafted we havo ever
had In this country. Is not working porfectly Is
tho fact thnt the very men who made it mo now
proposing changes In It. From nil over the
country we nro receiving statements of Dem
ocratic members of Congress who havo ono or
moro amendments to propose at tho coming ses
sion. It may ns well be said nt onco thnt the men
who ore giving their time and lnfluenco to tho
work of the Tariff Commission League ale not
so deluded ns to believe thnt the purely political
questions of protection, or tariff for revenue, or
free trade, can ever be so sterilized as to render
them nonpolltlonl. It will always bo tho duty of
tho majority in this country to elect representa
tives In ConRiess pledged to some particular
form of tariff, either high, low or In hctwoon.
Theso aro political questions. Men who hnve
grown up Ill-lit Inn over free trade or protection
aro not going to relinquish their fundamental
beliefs or intrust them to a Government com
mission. When the country has stated its preference,
however, who is olng to carry out this pref
erence according to orders'' The carrying out of
tho deciec of the people Is not a political ques
tion, but a scientific question. Thnt is where
the tariff commission proposition comes In. Sen
ator Owen, who Is n member of tho most Im
portant committees In tho Senate, nnd ono of tho
abloBt Democrats In public life, stated In my hear
ing only a short tlmo ago that It was impossi
ble for a committee of Consress to produce a
really ndequato nnd scientific tariff. The reason
for this is that a Congiessman Is required by
hli duty to Ids constituents to cover an
enormously varied list of subjects, and to per
form nn almost Innumerable variety of unre
lated services. It Is absolutely impossible for
lilm. In tho brief tlmo at his dl&posal nnd on tho
basis of tho often unreliable evidence which Is
presented to him. to work out a fair relation
ship between tlin many thousand Items of duty,
on the one hand, and the commerce, the Indus
try nnd tho Income of tho nation, os a whole,
on the other.
It took tho German Tariff Commission more
than 10 years to go over tho tailff once, nnd
work out a well-organized system on tho basis
of which tho RclchBtng could act. Tho Cham
ber of Commcrco of tho United States, after n
carcrul Investigation of tho matter, has stated
that it considers the well-rounded policy of Ger
many to have contributed very largely toward
German commercial strength.

IRELAND AFTER THE WAR
Tojhc Vdltor nf the Vvening Ledger:
Sir Mr. Glnnell, M. P.. mndo the fol
lowing statement nt a meeting In Mtilllngar re
cently: "Why should Ireland havo any share
In a war or tho cost of a war for which she
Is not in any way responsible nnd by which
British rule foredooms her never to benefit?"
This quotation shows that even tho M. P.s see
tho writing on the wall, nnd will trim their
snlls to withstand the coming elorm. No, there
nre few fools left In Itoland, poor unfortunate
dupes. Tliey met tho fool killer In France,
Flanders nnd tho Dardanelles, nnd they were
Inter described In tho obituary notices as
"bravo Englishmen." Tho people of Ireland
havo higher Ideals than the "compaiatlvo
prosperity" at the expense of other brave but
subject peoples Tho messago of Robert Em
met to the Irish people Is not forgotten, and
before the present conflict is ended wo may
geo a slab made from captured British cannon
on which an Irish sculptor will carve the name
of Robert Emmet. J. M. G.

NOT "I1EHIND THE TIMES"
To the L'dltor 0 the Evening Ledger:
Sir I have had, nd continue to have, so
much annoyance because of .jin article printed
In your paper, that I will have to ask you to
correct it In an eaily Issue.
The personal description of me was very Im
pertinent ; the misstatement of my views on
public questions was erroneous; the Implication
of unwashed windows was highly offensive ; and
the statement about old musty magazines lying
on my display counter calculated to Injure my
business.
The magazines your writer happened to catch
sight of were a special sale of oopleg of "Phy
sical Culture" whleh had been ordered oy a cus
tomer and neer claimed or paid for by him. I,
therefore, rather than be at the loss of them,
and knowing that they contain! aitlcles that
were of perennial Interest, put a low price on
them to clear out the lot.
This displaced for the moment the up-to-date
magazines which I keep id stock. It was
feelzod upon by your writer as a picturesque
touch. But It put mo in the light of u dealer
Uhlnd th times,

HEARD WIRELESS TELEPHONING
To the Editor 0 Uvening Ledger:
Sir Upon reading your article about the ex
perienced operators who receive tho wireless
telephone slgwjla In Philadelphia on doubtless
first-class commercial apparatus, I decided to
try on my ordinary amateur et, consisting of
an ordinary loose coupler, silicon detector, con
denser and phones, to get these signals.
At lt'M on Thursday morning week before
last I tuned In the signals, which perhaps had
gone on for same time. They were very plain
and easily readable. After some little talking
(of an experimental nature. I Judge) tho per
son said "good-by " at li U. according to
my watili, which may have been three mln
m)c off at the most I feel under obligation
to conceal the name of the person to whom
"goad-by" was said.
This oicurrtn-e may be of value In pulllth-
LIGHTENING SHIP
Ing, ns It Is one of maybe tho few Instances
In1 which nn amateur has received these signals
on very ordinary appatatus.
It shows the strides tho work on the tele
phone slgnnls has made lately.
Theso signals are, I understand, sent from
Arlington.
Signals were sent on wave length of about
4000 meters.

VOTERS MEN AND WOMEN
To the Editor 0 the Uvening Ledger:
Sir Tho Evcnino LEnonn today pictures eight
sturdy little fellows whom Mrs. Brinton Coxo
calls "My voters." She Is their grandmother.
What would Mrs. Coxe my If she knew when
these boys should reach the ago of 21 suffrage
would bo denied them by a group of men who
denied their right to vote? Anti-suffrage men
for Instance. Mrs. Coxo would probably say,
what an outrage.
To he personal, my wife and daughter wish
to ote. Mrs. Coxe says they may not. Why
docs she Interfere with women who do so de
sire? She Is under no obligations to voto if
Pennsylvania votes yes! for women, and prob
ably would not. We havo plenty of men who
tlo not; they aro usually dubbed a rather poor
sort of a citizen and they nre.
