In WtoMw4n ho. has met the chnl'enge bt tho Democracy that h dare net urge tha repeal of a single one of the laws which It hai enacted by char acterising the shipping law ns a menace to the merchant marine which could not be repealed too soon, and by declaring that 'the Underwood tariff law "must bo Undone It we are to have a sure basis of prosperity In this country." This is thj kind ot talk that makes votes. THAT TRANSIT TAX BOGEY A man who is broadest at tho top that la, the man with a brain in his skull Is like a wedge. The more pressure r to applied from tho sides the higher he rises. It looks as it the riso in tho price ef sauerkraut were a campaign device to solidify the German voto against the party which promised to reduce the high eoat of living. The Prohibitionists are denounc ing Wilson becauso he does not ngroo with them; but if they denounce Mm hard enough they may draw from him tho same kind of a statement that ho Bsade to tho suffragists at Atlantic City. A man at the Franktord Arsonal Bos invented a bomb which explodes into S18 "serviceable fragments,", effective within COO feet, or anywhere within a circle 1200 feet in diameter. Thus doo the work of preparing Uncle 8am for emergencies "go on. Mr. Wilson boasted in his speech of acceptance that the Democracy had exempted "labor organizations from the processes of the courts." The courts. However, do not agree with him, for tho United States Circuit Court of Appoali In the Eighth District has just decided that labor unions can bo held liable in -fictions to recover damages arising from strikes. What young rodman and chalnman on the Pennsylvania Railroad is looking forward to becoming the president of tho system in twenty-five or thirty years? Samuel Ilea, who celebrated his sixty, first birthday yesterday, and his fourth year as president of the road, began his service as a rodman when ho was six teen years old and rose to tho top by the operation of the law of the survival Of the fittest. Twenty-cent bread is threatened "if something doesn't happen." Not many weeks ago there was a great fuss among the brokers because It seemed that Rui- i oia might soon have an outlet for her I grain ships through tho Dardanelles. That would bring competition for Amerl- 1 can wheat, and our market broke I sharply. Now the bakers are asking for I on embargo on the exportation of wheat from this country. The bakers would evidently welcome the opening of the I Dardanelles to relieve the situation. The l brokers do not express themselves on , the subject, probably because they arc too busy congratulating themselves that they are not bakers. One of the surest ways to ruin a I Boy is to give him $10,000 a year to spend -4 while he is in college. The president of Leland Stanford University has Just de ' aided that if parents do not know better I than to grease the way to ruin for their oons he will not be a party to the trans. oetlon. He has announced that no etu ' stent will be allowed to keep an automo loile and that the squandering of money 1 on social pleasures will be prohibited. lie .Baa called on parents to assist him In ooneerving the youth by telling them I that if their sons do not conform to the t rules they are likely to And themselves I hi trouble before they hae been long In oetlego.

Tho Record's non understanding ot the most elementary prlhclples ot political economy and finance Is too pronounced for the public to ex pect from it a glimmer of Intelligence In so simple a matter as rapid transit. There Is not any citizen, wo surmise, who is such a fool as "to swallow tho talk about a ruinous tax rate to pay for transit development. No cttlecn, if he wanted to, could possibly pay a cent In taxes tor rapid transit for somo years to tome. There cannot bo any deficit until the lines have been completed and In operation ono year. The two lines that will bo finished first are the Franktord I., and tho Broad street subway. Nobody yet has advanced the supposition that tho Trankford L. will not pay Its way virtually from tho bo ginning. It will earn money the second year It Is operated, and every year there after, and everybody knows It So from this line thcro is no possibility ot a deficit. Almost as certain of producing revenuo is tho Broad street subway. Just Imagine a high-speed line cutting tho hcait of Philadelphia from north to south and ndt paying Its wayl Why, the present subway-elevated, a dead line though It Is at one end, Is a good enough rovenue producer to make that forthcoming P. R. T. dividend feasible. Put it down ns a fact that tho Broad street subway will be earning money after operation for a few years, and long before that before, In tact, it is completed the enhancement in realty values Induced by it will bring to the city mora money than any deficit that can possibly accrue. This Increased revenue will be coming in to tho munici pal treasury for three years before the line itself is In operation. A great public utility such as rapid tran sit never ultimately costs any money. Millions have been spent for automobiles, but, as was stated in this newspaper re cently, for every dollar spent for a motor car there has been a corresponding In crease In land or other values In the na tion. Service creates values Just as cer tainly as a factory creates values when it changes raw material Into a finished form. We have heard all this talk ot In tolerable taxes btfore. It Is the usual bogey. The municipal gas works were to be a burden to tho taxpayer. They never, as a matter of fact, cost the tax payer one dollar, and they yield the city annually two millions of dollars. The waterworks were to bo a burden to taxpayers. They are not, in fact, cost ing the taxpayers one single dollar, and they are yielding to the city treasury net not less than one million dollars annually. The two great public utilities which the city now owns earn net for the city every year not less than three millions of dollars, or more than one-sixth of what is yielded by the tax levy on real estate. For every six dollars the real-estate owner pays for taxes .now he would be paying seven dollars were it not that the city owns tho water and gas works. Perhaps- tho Record can understand that. Certainly the people understand that their transit lines (and their municipal piers) are going to be revenue-producers instead ot revenue-consumers, and their only ultimate cost to cttltens Is going to be the fares they pay to ride.

IIo breaks out In such unexpected ways nnd em barrasses one bo. Tho other day, to save leg wear, we bought him a little motorcar. When he saw it he behaved most outrageously. lie began to tear It took It numy and We to Dlcces showed him other cars, but either tho tires or the cylinders or .somo other fcaturo always stirred him to terrific growling. Fearing ho'd offend our ad vertisers wo locked him up and hastily bought him a little conveyance which matfo no great claim for itself nnd was thoreforo not pen to h criticism. Have you Seen him on it? A young woman watching him yesterday remaiked: "Isn't ho Just tho dearest, cutest thing In tho world? I Just adore him!" For tunately he didn't hear her.

NOLAN, who for flfty-flvo years has served as secretary of the Academy of Natural Sciences, tells n good Whitman story.

He was especially struck by tho saying, "Stranger, if you passing meet me and desire to speak to me, why should you not speak 'to me and why (should I not speak to you." Accidentally meeting Walt Whitman on tho Atlantic City Boardwalk one day tho doctor extended a nand and said, "Mr. Whitman, I'm delighted to have tho pleasure of meeting a man ot whom my friend John Boyle O'Reilly speaks so highly." "John Boyle O'Reilly is a gen tleman," said Whitman, and stalked on. J. POD.

Every fam ily Is therefore intensely interested, whether it knows it or not, In the ap proaching orgumont before the Inter state Commerce Commission for a reduc tion In freight rates on milk by the rail roads entering this city. The demand was originally made by the Philadelphia Milk Exchange It is indorsed by the Chamber of Commerce. To discover that the existing rates are unjust one lias only to compare them with the rates which' now provall in New Kngland. For less than carload lots the local rate Is 0 cents for each forty quart can shipped thirty rallea or less. In New England the rate Is 11,4 cents for tiyenty miles or less and 13.9 cents for distance between twtnty-one and thirty miles. Boston can get its mliic from farms 130, inilrs away for 21.3 oonto, while it oeota 80.6 eenta to bring tt that otetanoe to this olty.

DISAGREES WITH HAWKINS To the Editor of the Evening Ledger: Sir It is a matter for regret to any sensible person to read tho very silly and imnr,Mhln auccestlons of my fellow Eng lishman (If ho Is an Englishman), Bruce Hawkins, In the Evening LEDQEn of the onih it in dimcult to comment seriously on them, for they are nolthcr altruistic nor practical politics. Britain Is pot asking for - a il .a t tit a nAllnn'a any sucn ansura aunesunuii ui n" ii.iw imini rlcht as to forego her national Independence and play second fiddle to her In world politics, we, on una muc, tuuw not entertain such a monstrous proposition. Both nations can be friendly to each other, and while thslr highest aspirations aro mu tually shared, each must and will live Its own separate life to the legitimate profit of each and to the advantage of tho rest of mankind. I question If In any of the speeches or writings of Bufus Choate, James M. Beck or others quoted by Mr. Hawkins any such propositions have ever been formulated by any of them. And some of his claims are too glaringly false for any fair-minded man to Indorse) for Instance, "That for more than 100 years the Independence of this land has been safe guarded by CJrcat Britain" (there are other expressions equally unwise, distorted and uncalled for). It Is not worth while to refute them. I regret that history would say some things of the past of an entirely HlrfArnnt maracier. And why shouio not me unuea uiaies in crease V.s navy In size, numbers, speed and efficiency! To call such ft right In questldn by an outsider partakes somewhat of Im pertinence; the United States Is the beat and only allowable judge ot such a policy, Us wisdom and propriety, and I for one would be'glad to see It carried out fully and effectively. I am foreign born, but have been a cltl sen of tho United States for nearly fifty years, and I try to fairly visualize the In ternational sltuntlon as between Great Brit ain and the United States. An ounce of common sense is north a ton of gush and n manly recognition of equality greater than any amount of assumed patronage. Don't count me In as ono who Indorses the hyster ical nonsense of your correspondent. There Is too much lofty condescension on the one hand and too much sugar candy on the other. Let us keep our sanity while wo may. No one Is more glad than I of the better feeling between the two countries today. None moro appreciative of the moral, finan cial and Intellectual, generous aid ot the American people to the cause of the Allies, but It Is not desirable to get "nutty" over It or fall Into hysterics oer possible polit ical ties or affiliations ot our kindred coun tries in the future.

Do not those who aro mak ing the demand know that a man who lays himself liable to prosecution under the act is a tempting- victim for the blackmailers, even If there were no Mann act? It might be well th find out what the Attorney General thinks ot tho subject In his last annual report he said that there had been 486 Indictments and 802 convic tions under the law during the fiscal yea, and that there had been 1203 convictions since the law was passed. He suggested .that It should be repealed. It ought to be about as easy to create sympathy for the man who la blackmailed because of his violation of the act as for the countrymen who goes to a town and Is swindled out ot f 100 which he has paid for what he thinks Is 210,000 worth of counterfeit money, that turns out to be nothing but green paper, O.
