A, resolution was adopted by the United
fiualnoM Men's Association asking thnt a
plan bo developed by which exchango tick
ets ahnll be abolished Immediately and
transfers granted on a B-cent-faro basis at
Intersections of the surface lines. News
report.
DESPITE the fact that, transit has been
n. leading Issuo In Philadelphia for
months, an Issuo concerning which columns
of matter havo been printed In ovory city
nowspaper, it Is obvious thnt tho Mayor, as
he himself ndmlts, Is poorly Informed con
corning tho situation, and Is In dense Ig
nornnco of many of tho most Important
features of tho comprehensive plan pro
posed by Mr. Taylor.
This Ignorance exposes Itsolf In such re
marks as "It Is my purposo to bco that tho
company gets a squaro deal."
Ono of the most admirable features of Mr.
Taylor's work was tho spirit of falrnoss
which dominated his endeavor. Nover was a
fairer, squarcr plan offered an operating
company than that related In tho tontatlvo
ngrecmont entered Into by tho P. R. T. with
tho city. An amazing fenturo of tho entlro
transit campaign, In fact, was that no com
plaint aroso from tho pcoplo over tho liberal
treatment nrrorded tho company.
Tho P. It T. Is offorcd $36,000,000 worth of
subway nnd olovated lines for nothing. All
It has to do Is to proldo equipment and
oporato tho system, from which It Is to
dcrlvo a rovenuo before the city gets a
penny. In nddltlon, Its present lncomo Is to
bo protected, under specific guarantees.
What, thon, does tho Mayor mean when
ho talks about seeing that tho company gets
a squaro deal? Thoro Is nn ominous sound
to tho words. Is It In his mind to ropu
dlato tho tontatlvo agreement, which pro
vides for universal froo transfers, and ontcr
Into somo now ngrcoment which also pro
vides for such frco transfers, but supplies
tho P. R. T. with even moro llbcrni terms
than those already offered It?
Or docs he propose to arrango for the
oporntlon ol 10 Broad Street Subway nnd
tho Frankfo Elevated only, under a par
ticular contra t which Ignores tho operation
of tho contemplated system ns a wholo?
If tho latter Is his purpose, let tho pcoplo
understand now that tho $56,000,000 they pro
poso to spend to frco thomBolvcs from pres
ent Intolerable transit conditions will simply
tighten tho chains about them and hand
them over for a llfetlmo"to tho P. R. T.
Tho transit problem must vo considered as
a wholo, and It must bo aolvod as a whole.
Agreement for operation muBt bo an ngroo
mont for tho operation of tho whole, not of
a part. Tho tentatlvo agreement already
proposed nnd agreed to by tho P. R. T. as
cqultablo and Just, is so obviously tho right
sort of an agreement that any nttempt to
supplant It must nnd ought to nrouso suspi
cion at once.
Thero Is but ono way to solvo this transit
mnttcr, and that Is tho right way. And woe
bo to nny man or set of men who through
Ignorance or otherwlso permit tho subordina
tion of tho Interests of tho city to thoso of
tho transit company and betray In this wise
the great public.
The Stato has authorized tho raising of
tho amount necessary for the entlro Taylor
sytem. Lot the system in Its ontlrety, there
fore, bo built.
A tentative ngreoment for operation of tho
wholo system hns been entered Into. Lot
the city tlnd out whether or not the P. R. T.
Intends to stand by that agreement, without
modification of its essentials. To make an
agreement for operation of a part of tho
system only, not embracing tho several links
as thoy aro completed, would bo a communal
calamity.
Tho Evenino Ledger pointed out during
the recent campaign that thero wero two
great essentials: first, that the system In all
Its parts be completed, becauso Its success
was based on an lnterfeedlng, which mutual
Biistenanco would bo a prerequisite to tho
quick earning of Interest and operating
charges; secondly, that the now system gavo
the city tho whlphand over the transit com
pany, for tho first and last time, on which
account the operating agreement was of
primary Importance, and that In many re
spects the city's vast investment would be
wasted If an operating agreement unfair to
tho city wore entered Into.
The Mayor thrust tho transit Issue aside
with 17 words in his inaugural address, Ho
will discover soon enough that it Is the most
important Issue he has to handle. Tho pub
lic Is mildly Interested In the matter-of-fact
announcement that the two projects under
way must be rushed to completion. It Is
vitally Interested In knowing whether or not
the Mayor Intends to support the Taylor
plan as a whole, with' the operating agree
ment Included.
LET THERE BE LIGHT
THE Evenino Ledoer has had the un
usual experience of translating a picture
Into a fact.
On January 1 the back page of this paper
showed City Hall In all the soft white light
which played upon It when the clock struck
midnight and brought In a New Year. So
great was the appeal of this picture to the
Imagination that thousands of Fhlladel
phlans felt that the scene should be
visible not onco a year, but every night.
Acting on this desire the Evenino Ledoer
suggested and Mayor Smith enthusiastically
Indorsed the idea. City Hall will glow with
light, hereafter, a visible symbol of the life
which centres about it.
The surprising thing Is that it hadn't
been done before. The Bell Telephone
Building, nearby, has for some time out
shone a hundred rivals and been a notable
advertisement. The White Way o( New
York, called gay for some reason, has been
the greatest single piece of publicity which
any city has ever had, but far more re
markable, in New York, are the many
skyscrapers and towers which flame up, in
a cold, steady ifght, to the evening skies.
In Philadelphia a centre from which all
light would radiate has been missing. The
city can congratulate Itself that City Hall
will supply such a centre. It wlU advertise
not an article of commerce, not even the
personality of the figure which will be so
Illumined, but the spirit and the la
VlduaUty which belong ta the city.

The Dnphno Odora
Dear Sir I aw some of the old-fashioned
daphne odora at the Widener Conservatories
recently. What a lovely winter flower it Is,
and bo dellclously fragrant! Easily grown In
a cool conservatory. It was as popular CO years
ago as the Camellia Japontca.
My love aho wears a whits camellia.
Who has not heard that old refrain? Along
about midwinter you can still see a white
camellia In the select flower stores, but a
daphne never! The odora, like the camellia,
halls from the Orient and Is not hardy in the
North, but there Is another daphne; that Is,
the mezereum, of southern Europe; also very
beautiful and fragrant. That's where we got
the name from the Greek mythology. A
poetical story, of course, rich nnd full of fancy,
like most of them pertaining to the origin of
flowers. Daphne, a beautiful nymph beloved
by Apollo, tied for safety to Zeus, but Just
as Apollo had encircled her with his arms
Zeus turned her Into a laurel. (The common
Bpurga laurel ta daphne laureola.) The most
beautiful and fragrant of the hardy daphnes
are mezereum and cneorum, and these are very
suitable for In front of shrubberies and as
rock plants. McTavlsh.

:CUMMINS LOOKS
LIKE A SENATOR
And Is One, Too, Though First He
Was Farmer Boy, Carpenter,
Civil Engineer, Lawyer
and Governor
ONE of tho moat Interesting personalities
in tho public 11 fo of tho nation Is Albert
Bnlrd Cummins, a Ponnsylvnnlnn by birth
and United Statc3 Senator from Iowa. IIo
has been lhtod ns a "presidential posv
slblllty, nnd, ns to thnt, nobody knows
whnt a year may
bring forth. Llko ox
Senn,tor Burton, of
Ohio, a skotch of
whom appeared In
thoso columns tho
other day, Cummins
hns worked hard all
his life, raroly taking
a day off for play or
recreation. Ho Is not
qulto so sorlous-mlnd-cd
as tho Ohloan, but
Is equally dignified in
n rnthor different
wny. He looks the part
finN'ATOK cummins. 0f n United Stntes
Senator to perfection. Not tho Senator of
fat cheeks and globular figure (which Isn't
Burton, cither), but tho Senator of tho
naturally and pleasantly statesmanlike
manner. And back In Iowa a man voted
for him for Governor becauso "ho looks llko
ono." As with Burton, tho dignity of Cum
mins Ii democratic, only moro sd.
Cummins is 61 years old. Ho wns born
on a fnrm near Carmlchacls. His mother
was Scotch-Irish, his father Scotch. Tho
oldor Cummins wns both a farmer and a
carpenter. Young Albert had to go to work
when ho was 10 years old, and his early
schooling was scanty and Intermittent. IIo
learned tho carpenter's trade, and beforo
long was nblo to earn good wages. With
this money and his pay for teaching a few
termi In a country school ho went to collego,
finishing tho course at Wnynesburg In less
than threo years. He was 19 years old when
ho graduated. Then he went West to carvo
out his career.
Ho wanted to bo a lawyer, but ho had to
earn money to pay back what he had
borrowed for educational purposes and for
his traveling expenses. For two years he
practiced carpentry In Iowa. Then he got
a Job on a railroad. At 23 ho resigned as
chief engineer of tho Northern Contral
Michigan road to tako a similar position In
Denvor. Beforo ho loft ho met his future
wife. Also, at the station in Chicago, a few
minutes beforo train time, he met a lawyer,
an old friend of his father, who gave him
his chance to become a lawyer, too. Cum
mins did not go to Denver. He stayed In
Chicago till he was a momber of the bar
of Illinois, then he moved out to Des
Moines and formod a law partnership with
his brother.
Cummins a Cool, nard Fighter
Cummins went Into politics. Hoxran for a
number of ofllces and captured a few. He
wa a good fighter. Defeat never daunted
hint. It was the same way when Cummins,
as a boy, used to drive Into the town of
Carmichaels with his chums to fight tho
city boys. Nothing pugnacious about him,
then or now, but Just" la, game fighter.
Out In Iowa he won a reputation as one of
the best lawyers anywhere around and as a
dangerous entrant into the politics of a corporation-controlled
State. Cummins was
elected to tho Iowa State Legislature. After
ward ho Berved seven years as Governor,
During that time Iowa adopted a complete
anti-trust program, Cummins secured the
passage of such acts, as a 2-cent fare law,
an antl-pasa law, a primary-election law,
a provision limiting the hours of work fpr
railroad employes, a law to prevent corpora
tions from contributing to campaign funds,
a campaign-publicity law, a pure-food law
and a pure-seed-law. He vetoed a whole lot
'of bills emanating from the railroads. ' Cum
mins had begun his fighting career as a pro
gressive In politics. Today he calls himself
a progressive Republican.
Cummins was a railway attorney when
he began his attempt to rid Iowa of railway
domination. His first campaign for Gov
ernor seemed hopeless nd his success at
that time Is still talk., of as one of the
biggest things that ever happed In the State.
Dons Overalls and Jumper
He had come into notice by his work in
breaking up the barbed-wire trust, This
trust claimed patents on all devices for
making barbed wire. Three men organized
a company and started to manufacture
barbed wire, drawing on themselves, as they
had intended, a suit by the trust for in
fringement of patents. They lost the first
battle, and then engaged Cummin as their

and- Jumper, took a Job in tho factory nnd
In a fow.months know a good deal'about tho
making of barbed wire. After his prepara
tion In tho factory ho went Into court and
won tho second battlo against tho trust.
Hard work and thorough work havo been n
fetish with Cummins from his youth, but ho
also has n mind thnt goes to tho bottom of
a legal tanglo with remarkable quickness
and enso. It has happoned on moro than ono
occasion that othor lawyers havo brought
him tho documonts In somo exceptionally
difficult and puzzling caso thoy had been
working on, and that Cummins, with a rapid
glonco through tho papers, spotted at onco
tho way out of tho confusion.
In 1903 Cummins wns elected United States
Senator, to fill out tho unexpired torm of
Allison, who had beaten him for tho nom
ination six years beforo. Cummins was ro
clcctcd at another primary in tho satno year
and was ro-olectcd last year. In tho Sonato
ho Immediately roso to prominence. His at
tltudo toward tho tariff gavo him special
distinction, and ho was goncrally credited
with fathering tho "Iowa Idea." though tho
originator was really Georgo Roberts. Tho
"Iowa Idea" is this: Tho tariff should equal
tho dlffcrenco botween tho cost of production
at homo and abroad, plus a reasonable mar
gin for the protection of thoso employed in
American Industrie. Cummins had preached
that doctrlno in Iowa ns Governor nnd can
didate for Senator. "No shelter to monopoly"
was his watchword, and when ho camo to
Washington a number of people found It
hard to forget that ho had been himself a
very successful corporation lawyer.
A Progressive Republican
It Is ono of Cummins' propositions that nn
nrbltrary legal limit on tho amount of cap
ital in a corporation In any lino of business
should bo established, so that "no corpora
tion should command an amount of capital
which of itsolf tended to establish n
monopoly." Ills views on several matters
of public Interest nro contained In iho fol
lowing extracts from his speeches;
"Tho Republican party undoubtedly will
win tho Presidency nnd tho House. It will
havo to contend with Woodrow Wilson, who
doubtless will bo the Democratic candtdato.
Tho only great difficulty will bo to win tho
Sonate. If wo fall to gain nlno seats In tho
Sonato, that will bo an obstaclo In our
carrying out tho policy of a Republican
Administration.
"I nm a Progressive Republican. That has
always been my fight. Thero Is no doubt
that tho Progressive party is slowly disinte
grating as a party, but tho question of whero
tho Progressive Influence will go depends
upon the man tho Republicans namo for tho
Presidency.
"I favor national prohibition. I congratu
late tho people of Colorado upon voting
for prohibition. If the prohibition move
ment makes the same relative advance
during ttiQtnext 10 years as it has In the last
10 years, wo wjll have national prohibition
in the United States.
"As to national suffrage. I have Indi
cated by my vote In the United States Sonate
for tho national suffrage movement that I
favor it."
