What the Mayor said on March 22
"Mr. Scgcr is actuated by tho

Mr. Scffcr is only seeking to
emphasize what I pointed out in

Director Twining work his report
over so that when he gives it out

"When I have decided, I am
pretty sure of myself."
"Only fools make up their minds
never to change them. I would
rather be classed with tho wise
men,"
What Hie Mayor said on March 24
"Neither Mr. ScRcr nor Mr.
Trainer know any more about the
tax rate than a child."
"It's the same old crowd trying
iu mm uiu peopic in mc same old
way."
"The fuss in the Finance Com
mittee over the tax rate is nothing
but politics."
"I consider the action of these
men in the committer as an attack
upon this administration nnd I
mean to fight it."
"Any one who attacks the loan
or fights the administration will
have to fiftht mo and light some."
"Soger knows that ho can't fool

CLYDE RING LECTURES
ON "PUBLIC OPINION"
f
I
Says Factional Fights in Po-
l litical Parties Help So
cial Protrress
, ,
iPublic opinion Is rapidly becoming tho
tee vrhlch vvellds tho scepter of umoc
itcy. according to Clydo L. King, nsslst-
ut professor of political science at tho
Wrenlty of Pennsylvania, wno delivered
u address thbi afternon at Houston Hall
a' "Public Opinions as Viewed by Eml
nt Tolltlcal Theorists."
VPubllo opinion is no longer tho mob
wrllng in the street," ho said. "It is
tot merely a people Indignant; It Is not
fticlle, shallow, popular Impression ot
Hi moment; It is something more than a
Keponderant opinion, or a general opln-
ta, or a public Judgment. It Is a mature
todal Judgment reached after experiences
ttre ben recounted, hopes and fears ex
pressed and results weighted."
Th8 merits of public opinion were said
w the lecturer to lie in the fact that It
m a w)do gamut ot sanction, is flexible,
Utetratlsg, prompt and cheap. "Its de
Itds,'' he said, "are Its Indeflnlteness. Its
pusional character, itfc short memory, its
tWded urlsdlctlon, its frequent Impotence
ltd Its want of ndenuntA tenhiilnue.
fcTbef concentration of power and inllu-
occause ot the oligarchical tendencies
,(ur political leaders gives to new and
Jwnger leaders an opportunity to over-
lecepUble to tho public. Thin is a

BYBERRY LINE ROUTE
INSPECTION TODAY
Councils' Committees Will
Make Trip Transit Plan for
the 35th Ward
One phase of the complicated transit
question was considered by members of
Councils today when the Finance Com
mittee and the Street Hallway Committee
Inspected the rnuto ot the proposed high
speed surface lino from Bridge street and
Frankford avenue to the City farms at
Byberry. This line, estimated by Director
Taylor to cost $1,100,000 for construction
alone, will acne the 35th Ward, which Is
now practically without tianslt facilities
of any kind.
A 1)111 calling for n spcclnl loan or
$1,500,000 for the Hue was Introduced nt
the last session of Councils by Select
Councilman Georgo Mitchell, of tho 35th
Ward. The bill was referred to tho
Finance Committee nnd early this week It
was decided to go over tho route to de
termine tho advisability of Its construc
tion.
Under the plan of former Director Tay
lor property owners In the ward wero
to give the land free, so that tho only
cost to tho city would be the actual con
struction Item. The line as proposed
would connect with the Frnnkford ele
vated at Bridge street and Frankford ave
nue. It was announced definitely today that
report of the commission, almoin "d by
Mayor Smith to recommend the best type
of construction for the llroad street sub
way under City Hall, will not be com
pletcd until next week. Tho commission,
Director Webster, chairman, paid will
moet again on Monday nnd complete the
report at that time.
Tho report will probably bo made
public simultaneously with the revised
roport from Transit Dlroctor Twining
covering the entire transit plan. Under
the contract with tho Dunlap Printing
company the first .copies of tho direc
tor report will be completed late todav.
Tho Transit Department, however, will
not make them public until next week.
Tho commission of engineers nnd de
partment heads considering tho City Hall
changes met for a short conference this
morning, but It was found impossible to
complete the report -and an adjournment
until Monday was arranged nccordlnclv.
Until the report Is given to tho Mayor no
ateps will be taken to reach an agreement
with the Keystone State Constiuctlon
Company to make the changes proposed.
The Philadelphia Rapid Transit Com
pany, It was announced today, will In tho
near future establish another free transfer
point In West Philadelphia. It will be at
the 40th street station of tho Market
street elovated, and the free transfers will
be given to all westbound passengers go
ing north on the 44th street and Park
side avenue line.
$86,800,000 LOAN
WILL BE PARED; VARES
TO LOSE BY CHANGES
Provisions for Extra Police nnd
Old Bill of South Philadel-
phians for $210,000
to Be Canceled
PLAN PUBLIC MEETING
A reconstruction of the $58,000,000 loan
bill Is promised by Chairman flaffney. of
Councils" Finance Committee, and other
members, Imprcowl with the strength of
the opposition that has nrlren to certain
Items In the bill ns framed nnd now under
consideration.
Important change.. Including the can
celling of the provision for an increase
in me ponce rorco and to eliminate an
old bill of the Vnrea for $2t0,000 work
done nt League Island Park arc pre
dicted. A revision downward of manv of the
piesent Items Is not Improbable while
member"! of the Finance Committee freely
admit that nt Monday's meeting serious
consideration must be given to the de
mnniH of the 22 Cnuncllmen west of the
Sehii!klll ttier. That they will get nt
lenst a pnrt of their $2,020,000 demniul
for Improvements Is a foregone conclusion,
fin without tho votes of these members tho
loan bill, In Its present Fhapc. would facu
defeat.
TO CAM. PUUI.IC MI3KTINCJ
What Items will stand "paring" have
not yet been decided, but whatever Is done
In this, direction will be done nt a public
meeting so that arguments both ways can
bo heard by all Interested. The question
of tho cost of the cat lying rhniges of the
lonn Is expected to preclpitnto n hot de
bate, but Ii likely to HliiM- In prominence
with tho question of the llnal make-up ot
tho lonn.
Tho cutting out of the Item for extra
police Is a direct loss to the Vnres, who
,lirunilscil through Director Wilson that
tho lncrenso In the forco Would certainly
come this year. In tho event of the cut
ting out of the Item providing for the
payment of Senator Varo for work done
at League Island nnd Ciovcrnmont avenue
a second victory will have been scored
by the I'eniopo-McN'Ichol forces, who aio
using every pretext to retard the progress
of the legislation, according to Mayor
Smith.
ItKAt. CIIANOKS CintTAI.W
If the Mayor finally decides to take tha
floor In defense of the loan on Monday he
will ngree to the cutting out of tho pollco
Item, nnd should tho opposition prove
strong he will most probably not insist on
tho Inclusion of tho Item providing for
work heretofore done by tho Vnres. Tho
Mayor recently has had a number ot con
ferences on this subject, but has not mado
public what stand ho will Anally take.
That material changes will bo mado In
the loan beforo It Is Anally reported is
now certain. Pending tho publication of
the Twining transit plans, tho question of
transit will bo Ignored by both political
factions. It will probably bo taken up
by the mlddlo of next week at a special
session called for tho purpose. Special
sessions of both Councils and tho Finance
Commlttco will have to bo held during
the next two weeks if tho loan bill Is to
be whipped into shape for placing beforo
the people at tho presidential primaries on
May 10.
In tho event of further delay over the
loan a special election, nt a cost of ap
proximately $100,000. will havo to bo held.
If Mio loan Is placed before tho peoplo nt
the Presidential primaries the cost will
merely involvo tho printing ot ballots,
which Is estlmnted at $15,000.

preliminary hout with Mike Malono, at

failed to efface the lure of the prlzerlng
In his 17-year-old brother James,, of 2336
West Oxford street.
James was drawn to tho prizering In
the clubhouse nt Kensington avenue and
Ontario street last night, by that irre
sistible Influence which has been felt by
all "fight fans." He became so Intensely
absorbed In the dodging figures In the
roped arena that, he was not aware what
was going on until a sly hand had nearly
Withdrawn a purse containing $16,65 from
one of his trousers pockets. When at last
he awakened to the consciousness that he
was being robbed, he turned around and
grabbed Reuben Shaeff, 17 years old, of
633 Lombard street. Shaeff eluded him,
nnd started toward the entrance.
"He robbed me," yelled young Crowley,
and the place was in an uproar. "Fight
fans" jumped up from their seats nnd
started toward Shaeff. Policemen Smith
and McCUBter, of the Belgrade and Clear
field streets station, arrested Shaeff, and
hurried him out of the clubhouse. He
was taken to City Hall today for a hearing.

A letter that never came that may

cldo of Earl C. Flegal. 18 years old. n
member of a prominent Clearfield, Pa.,

heart In a room at tho Itittenhouso Hotel
yesterday. Tho mystery may bo cleared

Young Flegal, who left n noto taking
nil responsibility for his act upon himself,
Inquired repeatedly If there was a letter
for him and also telephoned several times
to the offices of tho carpet fifm of John
and James Dobson, Inc., beforo he killed
himself. He wns found late yesterday.
Ho had registered Wednesday, mention
ing tho name of Judge Singleton Bell as
recommending tho hotel, and showed pa

Tho noto left by tho youth read:
To whom It may concern I, Earl
C. Flegal, hereby commit this griev
ous fault. I have taken tho only way
I could see out. of my difficulty with
out dishonor to myself nnd to my
house. Was suddenly unablo to meet
my hotel bill, so I took this step.
Tho pollco do not bellovo that lack of
money caused him to shoot himself, for,
they pointed out, his relatives would have
been glad to pay the bill.

Maybe You
Don't Believe
in Advertising,
But Your
Competitors
Do.
The majority of Americans don't believe in militarism,
but they believe in sufficient armament because woe to the
business or nation that leaves itself open to aggression.
But preparedness, at best, is an expense. It is a tribute
levied by the Great God Mars. We pay lest worse befall us.
Advertising is not an expense. It is an investment. It
is preparedness against invasion by competition. It is also,
and even more so, a conquering force that brings ever
increasing prosperity to the manufacturer who employs it
wisely.
Can any reasoning business man doubt that advertising,
combined with quality and perfect distribution, b.uilt and
maintains great business "empires"?
Can any reasoning business man doubt the value of
well-conducted publicity?
If you are a manufacturer, a jobber or a retailer, you
will find something of absorbing interest to you in a.little
book called, "The ABC of Advertising," Jt will be mailed
to you on request. Address :
