Postmaster General Burleson is Willing that Dallas should have pneu matic tubes, but Philadelphia and Chi cago are too small to npeii any such ex pcduiuus method of ti unsporting tho mall. It begins to look, howover, as If Congress had a llttlo common sense and "would voto to keep tho tubes In tho cities that really need them. Three hundred joars ago Beau tnont and Fletcher wrote: Corruption U like a tree whose branches are Uf an unincnsurablo length: they spread V 'ry where; and the dew that drops from tlicnco Hath Infected some chairs and stools of uuthorlty Is it possible that tho sumo dew has touched tho executive chair of ono Sir.

Hut it is not the use of money that sts wealthy culprits free end punishes tho poor It la tomethlng far more sinister the instinctive respect paid to wealth which unconsciously warps the sense of Justice It is humiliating- to admit It, but It ie haul to believe that two wealthy lad would haxe had so hard b. flght for leniency. THE questions put to Frank Ilagerman, of Kansas Ct, by the Supieme Court Justices in the course uf his urgu nisnt in defense of the Adamsoi) wage Increase law Indicated that they think bis knowledge of the Constitution i about as aeaurata as libs knowledge uf hymnology.

This Is to nold embittering the Vnre fac tion to a point where "hatmony" in 1913 would bp Impossible. Hut tho fear Is not thnt h Tlimocintle regime will bo established. What Pen rose tenia is the nomination of an, inde pendent Itepubllcnn for Governor whom the Vare cohorts might support If driven to desperation, as the weio dilven In this city In 1911, when they prefeired Blank- enburg to n Penrose Mayor, llnth the Vnro nnd Penrose factions would prefer a Democratic to an independent ttepubll can Ooornor.

We must look far ahead, Tho I'enroso crowd Is considering a progressive program of legislation to placato labor. It must bo remembered that legislation Is only one-third of gov ernment. Theto Is exeunt ho administra tion; thero Is tho judicial y. Progressive laws administered by Oiganlzatlon exec utives and olllclals and interpreted by 'Oiganlzatlon Judges can bo easily emas culated. Tho test Is a slmplo ono.

IS IT tho Man In tho Street, meaning the averago citizen, who Is con uptlug tho language or Is it somo one else? The New Yoik Tiibuno, In an attempt to answer the question, has asked twelve of thu policemen who aio consenting to eat food that cobts only twenty live cents a day what they think of their meul-i. It assumes that tho policeman is both litei ally and figuratively tho man In the street. Two of Vho men leplied that tho meals weie "Kino and daud." The ie matnder said that they weie "Veiy good, indeed," "Kvei lastingly good," or "Excep tionally good." The Kvenlng Post, which uses mora slang on its editorial page thun nny other Now York paper, vent men tho opinion that if tho Tiibuno had asked n group of Yale piofessois, a company of Piiuceton undergraduates or inembeisuf tho Authois' Club, the answers would havo been: "A pippin." "All to the mils- J larq, - -way, ,ooy. nnu tno nue, thereuy justifying its piactlce of writing its cdi to i laid in tho language understandable by the class of people who read them. This oxperiment recalls tho uttempt of the Chicago Trihuno to learn whether Its readers liked spotting news wtitten in elang or in pure English. It discovered that the college professor preferred slangy reports of baseball games nnd that tho ball lil.ijors piefeued Addisonian English. Hut neither Investigation takes us very fur towurd the discuveiy of the real fortes that aio conunting the springs of English, pme mid undented. PHILADELPHIA DOESN'T WANT A DIVOHCB COLONY TTNDEU existing law ft New York bus!- u nesg man can come over to this city, rent a room nnd claim tt as hla residence.

He can serve nutico of suit on her by publication in an obscuro newsiMper, which the wife ipoy neer see, and then secure tho illvorco by de fault becauke of hur nonappearance In court. This is poMible because the General Assembly of 1913 permitted tint urantinK of dUorces after one j ear's residence and tlie tifiienil Assembly of 191S permitted the korvio) of notice by publication.
