Byron. "Wilson money" is plentiful at lost now that tho odds are two to ono on Jlughcs. The young woman who thinks that she ought to get a man's pay can do It if sho will only marry one. When It Is disclosed that attempts fcave been made to bring political pressuro io bear upon tho movie censors to Induce ihem to reconsider their decisions, another treason for abolishing tho censors is found. Montlcello, where Jefferson lived, feas not quite so ornate a residence as Shadow Lawn, but then tho country was not so big In Jefferson's day, even if Jefferson were a man almost as great as fcla latest successor. Congressman Italney, who says that free trade is dead, does not seem to be aware that it died from Republican assaults or that it will bo prevented from haunting the halls of Congress by the ac tivity of Republican legislators. Premier Kalgeropoulos has an hounced that the new Greek Ministry 'will follow a very benevolent noutrallty toward the Entente," thereby Indicating that King Constantino's German wife Will be compelled to go way back and sit gown. transportation company's twines by keeping rnen and women from going to work. If thesa mea and women decide pot to go to work anyhow during a. car strike, that would seem to be an added reason for tho company's holding out. Why run cars if nobody wants to rldoT It is dimcult enough for union labor to find food for thousands of striking car men, but how much more difficult to find food In addition for striking garment workers! No doubt several hundred thousand men, women and girls out of work would ndfl to the revolutionary ten sion. Dut everything must ultimately be financed, even revolution, as Robort Morris knew to his cost a century ago. The. gravest feature of tho situation is not the immediate strike, but the fact that in Now York so many thousands of workers, especially women, are con stantly looking for any pretext to strike. As yet there seems to bo no practicable remedy for their distress except that alow process of directing surplus population to other centers of industry in need of labor. So many parts of the country need development that metropolis-crowding would seem to mean defects in our labor-distributing agencies. THE NATIONAL JOY RIDE PAYS ITS WAY LIQUOR, perfumes, autos nnd pearls are ' still put Into tho samo category by a number of persons who accept surface values as final. These things are called luxuries. Automobllo has been another word for oxpcnslve pleasure, and tho notion has been that the outlay on swift cars is comparable to tho financing of American heiresses, who tako millions out of tho country to pay tho debts and refurbish tho manors of foreign noblo men. Motorboat, by the samo token, has meant to many merely that tho speed mania had reached tho water. From tlmo to time wo hear of another kind of Joy ride. A wealthy young man charters a railroad train out West and breaks nil records for speed and money spending to como East to keep a dinner appointment or comfort a sick person. Yet no ono calls tho railroads a luxury. Thero aro 250,000 miles of railroad in theso 3,000,000 square miles of United States. That is one mile of railroad to every twelve squaro miles. Roughly, that means eleven squaro miles badly served by rail to every square mile well served. That means eleven squaro miles of land of Inferior development, value, comfort and resources to one square mllo of superior conditions. It means congestion in cities and towns on rail roads and the poverty of congestion, and In unserved rural districts a thinning population and the poverty of lack of labor and subnormal enterprise. Summed up, it is the evil of badly balanced, un- I equalized and unfair transportation, the After taking time enough to reach lts of wn,ch aro M lnovltable to a sauna conclusion, me jt'resoytenan Tom Daly's Column Oil, BOTBt Long before tho clqcte ttriket ten itv detlre goes leaping To the quiet of a den Where I mav be steeping All my mini and toul again In the popples seeping Through the wide-flung windows, when Frosty alrt are creeping Round the pillow's toothing glen Where tweet dreamt are keeping Soothing solitude for men Till the tun comet peeping O'er the window till and then Well, then, oht then, most of all, when the alarm clock tin at and the led it warmest and the drowsiness most de licious wo realise that these are splen did nights for sleeping. Is it not beginning to dawn upon pa trons of baseball that there's no depend ence to be placed on the "form" of clubs so long as Inflated players care nothing for the club or town they play for and little for tho game Itself so long as they get the money? Would it not be a good Idea for cities that want ball clubs to havo no professional encaged on their team unless ho has been a resident voting taxpayer of tho town for at least five years? The game of baseball In tho pro fessional line would be much better played If there were more local patriot Ism In It and less pecuniary profit There In too much playing of the game for the player's own hand. Thus speaks William Marion Reedy in tho St. Louis Mirror, and thero aro thoso who Jump up and yell '"At-a-boy" to that Wo call upon Chan Rlchter to supply to this column within ono week the llno-up for tho Native Philadelphia B B. C. ministers voted at their first fall meeting that the Tenderloin raid of last July was without results and merely spectacular. Thus is tho opinion of the secular ob servers, expressed at the time, confirmed. The campaign against "dope" made tt big bulge in tho lines of the enemy When it succeeded in closing the "Ar senal.'' Tho Illicit dealers are so firmly Intrenched, however, that no victory can be expected until the guns of new laws ftre brought to the front. Quick lunchers in Chestnut street Who discovered yesterday that six-cent pieces of pie had been raised to eight cents and twelve-cent sandwiches to fourteen cents aro wondering what has become of Mr. Wilson's promise to re duce the high cost of living. The appearance of 222 out-of-town fcandldates and 85 from this city to take the civil service examinations for posi tions in tho Department of City Transit la encouraging. The best technical serv ice obtainable should bo-jsecured, whether the men originally lived hero or not. TThey will live here when they receive the Appointments. That Chicago city employe who jwas retired on pension a few weeks ago et tho ago of olghty-four years and died tho other day of a broken heart because bo had no work to do ought to bo hon ored by a- monument in a public square. A city employe who pines for work is so rare that the sole example on record ought to have his memory kept green. Serbian troops are on Serbian soil the "Balkan Belgium" again, taking their red revenge. Doubtless the caving In of the Bulgar right wing has been largely due to their zeal. Not the least remarkable feature of this precedent breaking war has been that two nations eould be dispossessed of their countries ted still fight on with full confidence in Ultimate victory. city like Philadelphia, with its trolley cars, as they aro to tho whole country, with its railroads. Into this gap leaped tho auto. Sud denly suburban districts were yanked a dozen miles nearer the cities. Farms got into touch with branch railroad lines or oven directly with the towns by auto. Realty values began to be equalized. The eleven square miles began to approach tho advantages of the one square mllo. Tho water auto the motorboat got In its work. Two examples will suffice. Farm land along Chesapeake Bay got a new leoso on life because tho swift and cheap vessels could take tho produce to Baltimore. Islands on the Maine coast that sold for $100 or $150 ten years ago now sell for $1000, because motorboats feed them. So the national Joy ride pays its way. Where one man wastes his substance on five futile racing cars, five hundred men are increasing their work-power, develop ing unimproved realty and opening up long series of eoonomlos and wealth producing sources with small outlay on cars. It is safe to say that for every billion dollars Invested in automobiles, thero has been produced through them a billion dollars' additional wealth. But there is something deeper to bo learned from this than tho value of motors. The whole secret of Investment lies in this rapid history that the initial expense of an Improvement of known serviceability is the least factor to be considered. This applies to municipal investment in port facilities, transit, sewers, housing reform and disease prevention as well as to railroads, steamship lines and motors. .Reading "Ballati JJacaroni Makes the callous heart less ttonv.

For the tendency has been to In crease urban populations at the expenso of rural communities, and it Is the city .'eWths that pull down the average.

LET ENGLAND DEFEND US To the Editor of the Evening Ledger: Sir My earnest congratulations to you for the vigorous and admirable remarks con cerning the war. which make their appear ance dally In your columns. A similar approval, however, cannot be vouchsafed to the nctlons of those who ad vocate a larger navy for tho United States. I And such approval Irreconcilable with all tho patriotism nnd nobility of my nature, not becau$p a substantial Increase, would be an Intrinsic menace to the stability of our mutual Institutions, but rather because Buch a course Is a useless and foolish at tempt to supply a supposed want where. In reality, none exists. There Is, Indeed, no necessity for the United States to build ships of war as long as Great Britain re tains her unchallenged supremacy on the sea, fpr America's safety Is essentially bound un In. and dependent upon an un- conquered English navy. Why Bhould any American desire an enlargement of tho United States navy, when ho Is cognizant that for more than a hundred years the Independence of his land has been safe guarded by Great Britain, over the pro tectress of tho weaker nations ; nay, further, when he knows that It was through English- Intelligence and benignity that his country took her place not far below Eng land among the powers of the earth? A careful student of the history of America and her motherland. It ho be a citizen of the former nnd a loyalist to the latter, has no difficulty In realizing the happy significance ot the words ot Lord Itosebery, the great English statesman, who asserted that he knows of nothing more disheartening that the news that tho United States would Increase the size of her navy, and, while I pretend not to be possessed of keener Insight than our far seeing stateman, I would Improve his statement to the extent of admonishing that it would be the part ot a wise and grateful America financially to support tho English navy and add the American war ships to the galaxy of Britain's Invlnclbles. Here, in truth, would be genuine loyalty and a step toward the union of England and America such as has not been taken since Parliament bestowed freedom upon these colonies. This naval plan could readily bo effected by any Anglo-American treaty, and would give America a share In tho glory ot Britannia's battles, for I have no doubt that the Prime Minister and the Cab inet would permit the Bhlps which America surrendered to retain their Yankee names, or even allow them to be wholly American In their crews, with the probable exception of British officers. This would prevent any repetition of such bungling as has been justly ascribed to the present American ad ministration, due especially to the Incom petency of Hr. Daniels. I do not, of course, wish to censure Professor Wilson, for your Chief Executive's attitude on the war has been satisfactory In the highest degree, and relatives of mine, from whom I receive epistles periodically, are continually urging me to Insist that my American acquaint ances support him for re-election by every means In their power. Come then, American cousins, let us make haste before It Is too late. "Procras tination Is the thief of time," and If Amer ica is dilatory Parliament may refuse to hearken to her pleading but belated cries. What more inspiring In all the world than America, the young and wayward daughter, not only resting again upon the strong arm of England, the motherly, the merciful, tha Ljust, but permitted once more to enter the royal nousenoia, wnere sne win be safe from the winds of adversity, where her weaknets will be shielded by the strength of Britannia's entwining arms I Yes, this is America's opportunity to ob tain protection against tha attacks of (he Huns, (funding beneath the glorious em blem unsullied through a thousand years, he may sneer at the Kaiser and says "Bring on your barbarous horde. I -was weak and you threatened m. Now I am fttreog. I am proWoted by Steglana'a powejr Is lost." Nor will America be compelled to forget her former glories. The memory of tho victories over Mexico nnd the Southland Spain can bo summoned to sustain her when sho Is tempted to despair ot her own Internal strength, 'whllo the unsurpassed history of the motherland affords countless examples for her to emulate and admire. And think not, my readers, that I am tho solitary advocate of such a noble proj ect. Emphatically not The hearts and minds and energies of thoso true loyalists, llufus Choate, JameB Beck, Theodore Roose velt, Ellhu Boot, John Cadwalader and mil lions of Anglo-Americans are with my every word.

Sowden from the prlnclpalshlp of the Edwin IL Fltler School early In this year Is still a matter that engages the earnest attention of the parents of many of the children. Per? haps most of them do not know of the re cent efforts made to have the boar recon sider Its action In this case, or how con tradictory and Inconsistent are their ac tions. Tho school law as amended and approved by Gocrnor Brumbaugh June 4, 1915, pro vided "That no person shall be promoted, or transferred, unless he, or she, Is among the three highest In point of average In his particular class." This "was fair and Just. When thero was a vacancy favoritism or pull was not to bo employed In selecting the person to fill this position. But this Is too fair; politics has no room to move. Its hands are tied by a good law. Some one Is Inspired, Th'ey conceive of a dandy scheme In tho shape of a brand-new rule, elaborately worded and most IngenU ous. When some of the teaching force saw It they gasped and wondered what would happen. What did happen? Tho board adopted It November 9, 1915. It is known as Rule 16. It says that when a principal Is to be pro moted to a higher school he must have an average of 80 In one case and 85 In another, and 90 and 95 to reach the highest Bchools. Do you see what an opportunity Is here opened for favoritism and pull to get In their work? There might be twenty-five persons with an average of 80. Who is to get tne piumT Tne law piainiy provides who. It was not a question of what his average was. It might be 70 or 90, any thing, so long as It was the highest. But what says the rule? Oh, any one of the twenty-five will do. Good) Then I prefer Mr. Jones, who is No. 2S, It Is said that the principal of trie Fltler School did not have the proper aver age according to the rule, hence he Was removed. The rule Is Illegal and certainly does not govern when it contradicts the law. The principal of tho Fltler School has been Illegally removed. The law further provides that no principal shall be removed If he held his position prior to the passage of the school law above referred to. It ex pressly protects cases where schools grow under the wise direction ot a principal and seeks to retain hunt yes, even prohibits his removal. In the face of this the Fltler School prin cipal is removed. An open violation of the law. Then note, if you will, this action of the Board of Education. The principals of the Wayne School, the Wldener School, the Leldy School were all In the same class as the Fltler, These schools grew and more classes were added. The principals were promoted and allowed to remain, though in not a 'single case was the principal among the three highest in his or her particular class of school. It is contrary to the law. but why were they not removed? Oh, they had an average of 85 1 Fltler principal bad only 84. The rule was Invoked to save them. The rule said 85 was all right They were safe. But note what has hap. turned since the Fitter case. The board evi dently thinks it no longer safe to invoke' the rule, as wiinew no mow. recwu trans fer. AH, in fact, slnee the Fltler case.. They are s4rl!y In aeaontaito with the law.
