The IUv. 1.. W. Mushnll. of Philadelphia,

States wants today Is not moro army, hut
more rlffhteouanens.
"dive us that," tho llilladelphlati
shouted, "and we'll lick any nation In cre
ation. I have heard that a man high In
.National Guard circles In Pennsylvania a
erted that an army of 60,000 Herman
eo'uld land on the Atlantic coast and march
right across to. San Tranclsco. That man
didn't take the New Jersey Conference Into
consideration. And If they couldn't stop
them, we'd call out tho Hoys' llrlKiulu of
Pennsylvania and whip them heforo they
reached Altoona, '
"Herlously, Germany hasn't 60.000 men
to spare to send across the sea, and It hasn't
any reason to tend them.
"In the next place we han a, navy that
can lick tho Herman navy any day, mid If
we are righteous we have no reason to fear
anything. If President Wilson had turned
the Mexican problem over to me I'd have
hanged Villa Ions ago nnd saved the coun

vently declared the time has come for
Methodism to .rise ri ml rescue tho old-time
"Palllne, Wcsleyan doctrine of salvation,"
which, he maintained, the ministry largely
abandoned years'ago through fear that the
clergy would be regarded us cranks be
cause some of their leadcrH were fanatics
"It Is not hui prising," ho said, "that camp
meetings turn to those who preach the old
time gospel, for we're not preaching It. Wo
need to gd back to the old doctrine and
appropriate It to ourselves, for It Is our
heritage." He said that conferemes of
f hlladelphla, Wllm'ngton and New Jersey
are "typical" and should lead In tho move
ment, "Any man, up matter how poo- a
stick he is as a preacher, can be a good
pastor If ho Is lovable and has a winsome
personality," tho Illshop declared

"We must stop quarreling over tho doc

assertion of the llev. Albert K. flay, pas
tor of the Church of the Tledemptlon, who
spoke at the noon-day Lenten nenlces in
the Garrlck Theatre today.
Doctor Clay took as his subject. "The
Tower of Concentration," Ho declared It
was Impossible for us to reform others un
til we ourselves have been thoroughly re
formed. This reformation, ho said, can
only be hrought about by the concentration
of our efforts along ono line, and not
through a constant quarreling over tho doc

There were 2213 second-class offices, tho

The statement of Mr. Taylor, which
called forth the reply of tho department
olllclals, follows, In pari :
It Is dinlriill to HVnlcl the rnnclimlnn
Hint the Director bna Intended to convey
to Ihe publln the Impression Hint nn
artusl estimate of cost was revised In
erclei- to mke thn proposition nppesr
more pnlntnhle to the voters and lo bring
the tolnl rout, within the borrowing
capacity nf the clly. Therefore 1 ennnnt
permit Hie statement to pass unchal
lenged. Tho fnct Is that tho engineers of tho
department furnished a rough outside
estimate without taking Into account the
' actual prices at which the department
had been aldo tn let work In and prior
lo November, 1915. nnd the only revision
of that ertlmatn that was made by tho
engineers was to maba their prices con
form with the bld.e which had been nnd
were being taken.
Kvcry one Iiiimwh that prices tndny nre
nt nn ulilirnrd.iif level, bnlh for labor
nod imiftf-rlnl. N'n one belleTea that these
high prices can continue for nny con
siderable length nf lime,
I would be the last peison to advlso a
delay In the letting ot any necessary con
tracts by reason of tho fact that prices
are abnormally high, for I am convinced
that the city of Philadelphia needs Its
transit development at the earliest possi
ble moment, and that It can afford to pay
for II
Hut it wiiuld be nhvlnuslj- ngnlnst the
public Interest (n let contracts nt these
price for thnse pnrtlnns of the A.rstem
".hlrh can tie finished In n ahnrter lime
Ibnn the cejitral pnrllnm, which central
portions nrc absolutely essential to their
operation
Kvery engineer knows that It will tako

and Locust street, and to build the central
portion of the Broad street line from
Spring Garden street to Spruco street
where the depth Is very great than It
will to build the outlying portions and
main portions of the nroad street sub
way and the rarkway-northwest line.
Yet' the outlying nnd main portions of
the nroad street nnd tho Parkway-northwest
lino will bo of no service to the pub
lic until tho structures around the City
Hall nnd tho delivery loop are ready fjr
operation In connection with them.
Therefore, any one desiring o conserve
the city's resl Interests and nt the sams
time to hasten the transit development
will let even nt the present liigli prices
the work for the delivery lonp and fnr
the central aertlon of the nroad Nlreet
8nbnny from Spruce street to Spring
Garden street, and will defer enntrsctlng
for the main pnrtlnns nf the nroad Street
Subway and the ParUwiiy-nnrthweil line
until tho central work has progressed to
such nn extent that nil tho system can
he completed at the same time, - Thil
will not only save In tho cost of con
struction, but will save a year's Interest
and Blnklng fund payments on those por
tions of the system.
Tlic principal parts of the Frankford
Elevated are already let at low prices,
nnd within the department's estimates.
The Darby Elevated will use tho Market
Street Subway If the present proposed
equitable arrangement wjth tho Rapid
Transit Company Is entered Into, nnd,
therefore. It may be placed under contract-forthwith,
as Its terminal Is now
ready to recelveTlt.
The city has already provided $7,000,
000 In excess of the department's esti
mates made under Mr. Twlnlng's super
vision In November, 1915, If the con
servative business course here pointed
nut Is followed, the taxpayer need not
fear Hint Ihe original amount provided,
namely, $63,100,000, will be exceeded
If at all tn nny 'nlarmlng extent,
. In this connection let me warn the
penple Against being misled by the hadf
trulhs contained In these construction
estimates and by the dellba-ate misrepre
sentation which have been frequently
publicly made hb to the terms and con
ditions of tho proposed contract between
the city nnd tiro Philadelphia Rapid Tran
sit Company, especially Ip connection
with the burdens which It Is falsely al
leged will be Imposed thereby upon Ui
city, upon the car-riders and upon tho
taxpayers.
As I havo already pointed out, this Is
not an offer made by the Rapid Transit
Company as a basis for negotiations. It
