The difference between the wage

Gas is a great convenience; it Is
the twenty-five per cent tax on the use of

As Mr. Wilson contemplates the
Mexican situation ho must be longing
that It were posslblo to unscramble an
omelet.
There Is no reason to be surprised
that the per capita consumption of
water In Philadelphia is larger than that
of other great communities. Doubtless
the bathtub was invented here.
It Is reasonable to suppose that
rapid transit Is more Important than a
new street, even though tho failure to
provide that street Indicates rank in
justice on the part of somebody. But
there is no need to worry too much.
When a people vote for something by
the Immense majority given the Taylor
plan they aro going to get It no matter
who objects.
Ten thousand more National
Guardsmen are to have an opportunity
to see actual field service on the Mexican
border under conditions which will test
thejr readiness for emergencies. Among
the organizations ordered to the front Is
the Third Pennsylvania Artillery. If
nothing else comes of this Mexican ad
venture, the number of citizen soldiers
quipped with sufficient training and ex
perience to serve as lieutenants and cap
tains In a great volunteer army will have
been Increased considerably.
There is wealth enough In Penn
sylvania to put the University on an
equality with the best endowed Institu
tions In the country. It suffers now In
many ways because of Its small endow
ment. Within a year it has lost two or
three of its best professors because it
could not pay the salaries offered by
other universities. The example which
the late Eckley B. Coxe, Jr., is under
stood to have set In bequeathing between
half a million and a million to the Uni
versity Museum is likely to be followed
by other men of means, for there Is no
lack of faith in the future of the rapidly
expanding group of schools in West
Philadelphia.

TF THE Mayor Is In need of any expert
advice relative to the transit agree
ment he does not have to go to San
Francisco or Timbuctoo to get It, Tho
bcBt expert to serve the peopte of Phila
delphia happens to be a Phlladelphlan;
and more than that, a Phlladelphlan In
whom tho publto have, as they ought to
have, completo and assured confidence
The Mayor, of courso, during his cam
paign for election was entirely devoted
to the proposition that experts from tho
outsldo wore a nutsanco and on Instilt.
Let there be none of them. Wo tako it,
therefore, that he is not now considering
seriously any proposal to summon from
another community some person to toll
him what tho peoplo of Philadelphia
ought to get In tho way of a transit
agreement Mr. Taylor has already told
them. They voted for what ho said they
ought to have. The P. R, T., in tho co
operative agreement of May, 1914, agreed
also that the people were entitled to Just
what Mr. Taylor said they woro entitled.
Tho Mayor, therefore, Is facing no dlm
cult task. All ho has to do Is Insist on
the carrying out of that co-operative
agreement. If any modification at all Is
necessary, It Is outlined In tho unpub
lished 1915 report of the Department of
City Transit, to which tho Mayor has ac
cess. Talk of anything clso is abortive;
and there would not be such talk were it
not forUhe fact that, with Mr. Taylor out
of the way, there Is a feeling In certain
circles that a contract less advanta
geous to the city can be put over.
This Is a great aommunlty, and there
Is no man In It who has studied so thor
oughly or knows so well Its transit prob
lems as Mr. Taylor. In comparison with
him any outside export would assume the
proportions of a pigmy. For,, be It re
membered, no engineering questions are
at Issue. It Is tho operating agreement
alone which is up for consideration.
CAMDEN'S LOST DEMOCRATS
JOHN W. WESCOTT nominated Mr.
Wilson at the St. Louis convention at
the desire of tho President, who decided
that his claim to that honor was weight
ier than Governor Fielder's. There were
still other reasons for the Administration
to back Wescott against Martlne. Before
he becamo Governor Mr. Wilson admitted
to "Jim" Smith that Martine was not of
senatorial caliber, but backed htm be
cause he was the people's choice in the
preferential primary. In the Senate Mar
tine has shown more Independence than
was pleasing to the White House. But
Martlne Is the choice of the New Jersey
Democrats, who aro evidently In no mood
to give the Administration carte blanche.
Mr. Wilson once remarked that "Jim"
Smith and Nugent represented an Insig
nificant faction in the New Jersey Democ
racy "hardly more than 1000 persons."
The returns show that many more Demo
crats than that aro disaffected. There
seems to have been a paralysis of interest
among Democrats. In the senatorial
fights there was a total of 9305 Repub
lican votes and of 1617 Democratlo votes
In Camden, a ratio of about six to one.
The ratio sbould have been more like one
and one-half to one on the basis of past
performances. Are Camden Democrats
becoming extinct?
THOSE PHILLIES
r1 THERE were no difference of opin
ion there could be no horse races, It
Is true. But It Is not true of baseball.
A million or two persons are convinced,
man, woman and child, that tho Phillies
are going to win the pennant, because
they are going at an .800 clip (whatever
that means) and Brooklyn Isn't. The city
Is in a holy unanimity on that point and
its enthusiasm Is so pure that It has bo
come spiritualized away above the betting
point. The scrambling after a few mean
dollars, bet this way or that, Is a vulgar
thing compared with the rare beauty of
the breathless drama on the broad velvet
green. There, when the falling light of
late afternoon gilds field and white-clod
figure In tense poise, no matter who loses.
something always wins nature, which
baseball was made to celebrate.
Brooklyn greets us today for the death
throe series. They are to be beaten.
though luckily they don't know It. As a
conquering army the city tightens its
nerve strings with the muscles of Alec's
arm, and renews Its vision of heroic
things in the effort of its champion.

MR. FRAZIER'S REJOINDER
To the Editor of the Evening Ledger:
Sir Tn his letter accepting the Demo
cratic nomination for tho presidency, at
Shadow Lawn, Mr. Wilson gave us a num
ber of elusive epigrams he Is a past master
In the making of pithy phrases this be
ing one of them: "Wo must assess the past
In order to correctly Judge the future." In
his appraisal of the past President Wilson
feebly endeavored to show that the Demo
cratic party especially under the Wilson
Administration was a party of "construc
tive action" and that the Republican party
was one of "destructive comment and
action."
I felt that It was my duty to show that
this particular epigram was false In theory,
false In fact a shadowy vision a phan
tasm, and I cited the historic testimony of
three Presidents, Buchanan, Cleveland and
Wilson, to corroborate my statement that
the Democratlo party was the party of "de
structive comment and action." Hence I did
not refer to the "panics and business de
pressions" mentioned by "S." In his letter of
criticism of September 25, for the reason
that they were soap bubbles In comparson
with tho Buchanan and Cleveland panics,
and there was no thought in the minds of
Republican Presidents of bringing those
baby panics to the consideration of Con
gress as Presidents Buchanan, Cleveland
and Wilson were compelled to do. Neither
was there any such frantic cry for help dur
ing those "depressions" mentioned by "S."
as that made by the Farmers' Alliance of
the State of New York during the winter
of 1014 In its appeal to the farmers of the
West, In which It Bald:
A cry of hunger and starvation comes
up from the heart of the great me
tropolis New York city. It comes
from the throats of tens of thousands
of American citizens who are without
bread. It ascends to heaven and Is In
tensified by the tears and moans of
starving mothers and famishing chil
dren! men are becoming desperate as
the gaunt specter of famine stalks
abroad unheeded by the pillage of labor
and the ravishing of Industry.
Nor waa any editorial published during
those casual Republican "depressions" as
was published by the New York Evening
Post, which supported Cleveland for the
presidency, which said:
We must do today what we have
never had to do before call attention
to the appalling distress which prevails
among the employed poor of this city.
Thousands of persons who have always
hitherto earned a decent livelihood are
sinking down Into blank destitution,
from which recovery with broken health
and spirits will be difficult
"S." says the surplus In the treasury on
July 1, 1U, waa UWOO.OOO, Will "S."

AN ANGLO-AMERICAN ALLIANCE
To the Editor of Evening Ledger:
Slr I heartily Indorse the sentiments ex
pressed In the letter of Mr. Bruce Haw
kins of the 20th Inst With that keen
Insight and wisdom which have become
synonymous with English, Mr. Hawkins
points out to loyal Americans the path of
duty and gratitude, and I am deeply dis
appointed to learn that some of our fellow
Britons have been so false to tho mother
country as to call Mr. Hawkins to task
for his patriotism, while one of them, a
Mr, S. C. Collins, has been so unwise as
to say that "he regrets that history would
say somo things of the past of an en
tirely different character." Mr. Collins
probably refers to the Rebellion of 1776
when he regrets the past for many of us
regret that the tie which bound England
and America was permitted to be severed.
I regret It as well as Mr. Collins does, but
I deem it extremely unwise for any one,
especially an Englishman, who naturally
should know better, to remind the Amer
ican people of either 177S or 1812 or 1880
or 1898, for at this time when England
Is fighting to save the world from the Ger
man's dream of world conquest, the memory
of these four quarrels with America should
be banished Into oblivion. Let no one who
glories In the honor and valor of our mighty
legions or our supreme navy presume to
censure Mr. .Hawkins for his belief that
the American navy should be added to our
own. It would be friendliness on our part
and loyalty on the part of America, Let
us remember that the time Is close at hand
(and I am generous enough not to deny It)
when the United States will be placed on
an equality with the mother country and
consequently there la no lowering of British
Ideals by the formation of an Anglo-American
alliance. Personally, I think that our
American friends would bo delighted to add
their warships to those of the Mistress of
the Seas, for It would not only Insure, Amer
ican rights and "gfve America a share la
the. glory of Britannia's battles," but It
would be a step toward the consolidation
of the two Governments, as' well as the
death knell to the ambition of the bar
barous Hun. Why should not such a plan
be effected? For my own part (and t knovf
that I am speaking for all loyal English
men) I would suggest that It would not be J
lMMA.MnK .111 a milk in..,.n M.nl. . . . 1
side by side with the unconquered Great
Britain, while I am certain that many mil.
lions of American would Joyfully welom
the day when all differences between our
kindred lands would be obliterated and wi
would work for a common heritage under
a common flag and a common ruler.
Congratulations, then, iMr. Hawklnsl I
as an. American epealt fer all A,mr(eau
