'A SOUND principle Is behind the clt . -movement to puicha'-p the? Holmes burs, Dlstou and Philadelphia Water Company. The incorporation of its plant in the municipal supply system will end an inequitable arrangement under which residents in the northern section of Phila delphia have ions suffered. All citizens, and emphatically the tax payers, are logically entitled to enjoy iden tical water rights. In certain outlying dis tricts the supply and mains have been con trolled by private companies, with a marked tendency to charge higher rates than the municipal bureau. The cit.'s remedy has been the authority, after an appraisement and a survey by tho Public Service Commlsulon. to purchase tho prl ate concerns, establish uniform rates and link up the mains with the greater 55 stem, but the application of the curs has been rather belated. Xow that action has begun it should not top with the Holmes.'ourg case. Parts of Overbrook and Oak l.ane l ing within the city limits should hit in the progress of equity. It is indisputable that inhabitants of theft- suburbs hae been overcharged b private concerns controlling water mams distinct from the citj 's. The conncctliig process Is simple and the citj 's pjrehas ing privilege legally valid. Rectifying tho Holmesburg situation should be tho signal for a reform that should b? operatho until the city owns and th water bureau op erates all the mains in Philadelphia County. A condition permitting liigh-r water rat"S to be charged In one part of the town than in another Is both clumsy and onerous. That John Bull will follmv Uncle Sam Into the dry coluir.n :s eNper'ed.

THn Impression, '.or;; prevalent and per slstent, that the Peace Confetence) would Ml In Versailles, lias been ausruttly dissipated by 1 Ho formal opening of the. sessions in the foreign Oilb e on the batiUn of th'' J-'elnr. Tin change has Imasinath e stimulus. Versailles is traditionally a atase for "set pieces." Ii is the shrine of scheduled historic event- of which un equivocal forecast co i!d e made. The well-oiled wheels of l,ouU XlV's autocratic machinery ieo'ed there with authoritative prevision Tho carefully pre. pared debut of the German empiro was made there with time clock rigidity tn H7I. Its bow was expected If was spectacular but not Inherently sarprislng. With the implacability of a tax collector tho Su preme War Council drafted tho urtnistlce terms hard by the famous cnatea:. The.' were forecast as drastic. Advance nolne proved fully justified. So do they at Versailles almost invaria bly. When events of the French devolu tion outran tho pace of prophetic assur. ance and no man could foresee the pranHi of destiny, the whole sceno Ehifted to tho French capital. The character of national or international dramas at Versailles is evei established at the outset. Chance often pulls the, strings nt Pat Is. The action may be comic, tragic. Ironic, sentimental, salutary, malign, vivid or merely nebulous, but progianimlng defi nitely ahead is traditionally of experimen tal value only.

Four years of incredibly difficult sailing are ahead of him; four years of perils and opportuni ties equally great. The new Governor will have to make his own course among new issues and he may have to adventure far into new ways of thought. The charts left by his predecessors will serve him little or not at all. For, even though many political leaders have not yet realized it, we actually are approaching a turning point in politics. Astonishing revisions in political philosophy and great changes in the relation of economics and industry to government are inevitable. Pennsylva nia cannot remain an island isolated in a world of aspiration and change. We are facing a creative era and minds that are not creative will soon be over whelmed and discredited. The times are fluid. People are rest less, dissatisfied, eager for new leader ship. Their minds are inquiring and receptive. They arc in a mood to recog nize their man whenever he happens along. And in Pennsylvania their lives aro closely bound up wi,th immense opposing forces that will have to be con trolled and reconciled and made co operative in the approaching period of readjustment and settling down. Governor Sproul, facing this situation, will be hedged about with the usual diffi culties. To tho east of him will be the ivied minds in politics and journalism consecrated to the belief that whatever h is right. To tho west will bo unstable radicalism, energetic nnd uninfoimed. Upon the north will be a backward minded Legislature and on the south will be the bosses moved, as usual, by foio cious greed. Rarely will there be any one with a wise realization of the great sood that may come with wisdom or the confusion that may follow upon mistakes or a lack of constructive vision. It is an axiom of Pennsylvania poli tics, for instance, that a Governor can never rise above the I.cgislatuie unless he happens to have qualities of mind that approximate genius. For the peo ple who expect groat things from the State's executive usually begin, with characteristic perversity, by tying his hands through the election of Represent atives and Senators committed to the? selfish Cfped of bossism. Rut in tho present case the Governor will have unusual advantages. He is free from entangling alliances. Ho was selected without a surrender to any of tho fac tions. He is courageous. And If he will follow a method recently tried out with brilliant success in the larger field of national politics he will realize that when he mounts to his new office he ascends to one of the great forums of thr world. From this on he will always be able to get an audience. He will always be listened to. The people will believe him. And he can go to them whenever he wishes to make war fo" wht.t is ricbt witn the assurance the per-pie are alvva.vs upon the side of faiiv.es, ar.d decency when they arc given the opportunity to 1 judge aquaroly between right nnd wrong. 1 Tho criticism that begins to beat upon ' a man in the Governor's chair almost I immediately after he enters office is at times a little wearying. Almost all men go to the governorship with high inten tion und an eagerness to do great things. They fail and fall into oblivion not be cause thoy didn't mean well, but because they do not know how to lealize their hopes or because they luck "strength to fight tho sinister elements that always crowd about the places of authoritj. The factionalism of Philadelphia, which represents merely a fraternal or ganization of jobholders and spoilsmen, eldom hah had any concern or any in telligent conception of the problems of State government. Vet it lias been a constant source of confusion and a means of obstruction at Harrisburg. It has power to wield through tho State Legislature which often has been sulll eient to baffle a conscientious Governor. It wan Mr. Sproul's good fortune to bo elected without bargalri-for help from that quarter and to have been independ ent always of tho men who have applied Fifth Ward methods to the affairs of the State. Will he find means to control those who have been accustomed to uo it? Ho will have to do this, by one method or another, if he doesn't wish to havo his work hampered, confused and misrepresented at the ery outset. The Philadelphia organization, liko many of tho others in tho Stato, is in u bad way. It has floundered too far. It is too recklesi, it has piled up too many errors. It is shameless. It is waiting only for a competent wrecker. Mr. Sproul may find comfort in this knowl edge whenever he it liatassed by men who call themselves the I'oweis. Almost all of the Pennsylvania machines aro the weaker nowadays because they aro 'of the model of 1880. N'othing of the newer molality has penetrated into these organizations to give them force or an ability to meet tho demands of people who, everywhere in the State, are for- mulatinrr n new challenge, for political leailcrs, It may be taken for granted that the .how Governor will give the State a Rood business administration. That is n fundamental lrquircment. But if Mr. Sproul wishes to make the best of n inuRiiificent opportunity he will give the State n Rood business administration and something more. He will try to put a conscience into State politics and into the machinery of Stnto government. He will concern himself with the moral forces which must operate more dofi tiitcly under mi enlightened government for tho welfare of all the people and he will find ways to keep in view the Inter ests of the vast mass of inarticulate citizens who aren't accustomed to ex pecting attention from their government. Thus the welfare of our industries nnd industrial workers, the schools and school teachers, good roads, sanitation and health, better economic conditions on the farms and progress in public works generally are matters of vital in terest to the .'ate and to the people. Theie is still a great need for progres sive thinking and humane interpretation in relation to qucstk ch as these that might attract an original-minded Governor. Mr. Sproul's long business, experience his independence and his record as pio neer advocate of good roads inspire con fidence, He is an infinitely likable man, 1 fearless and honest. There is no reason j why the governorship should bo the cul mination ot his political career; no tea son why it should not be a new begin ning. Everybody will wish him luck for his own sake and for the sake of the State. feminism is 11 self-settler as well as a sclf-slnrter Woman l foreer finding a new job- and forewr returning to the old cne. EH II TIDE OF HOLSHEVHSM "D Eci'JCTI.Y In these columns, when Sen ' ator Borah nnd Senator Kcnjon were so.emnly warning the I'nltcd Stales of "tne menace of liolshevism," we rev lewed the evidence, which shows plainly that the wave of tillr.i-radit'ulism is already teced it.g even In Hussla. Since then I.enlno and Trotsky have sought confeiencea with Allied represen tatives. They express a willingness to cea-o their propaganda. Liebknecht has been killed In Bciiln. Germans In other cities are making war on the Rolshevlst". Leaders of the troublesome cult are con fessing despair. Passion Is tinnsient. It Is upon the passion of crowds that the ilolshevlki lead ers depend, nnd sooner or later reason and a desire for peace must bring peace. Those who talk of a spread of Bolshe vism have been talking rather wildly. And It would be better if.

People talk of what "vVll son will do and they talk of what England will do. They do not talk of what the tinted States will do nor of what l.loyd Ueorfio will do. The United States, whether It flatters our national pride or not, owes much of present prestige to Wilson; to the power of his ideas; to tho fact that ho Is the only .single International flguro in the Peace Conference. AVe think of our feats of arms, our vast credit, our loans to the Allioj. our coming navy and merchant marine, our control of .raw nmterlnls. our tremendous national prospects. Hut Europe thinks of the Ideas tho President stands for and of the courage nnd sin cerity of the man who stands for them. They aro things which tu the opinion of Europe make the United States great to day, and which will probably result in Its having its way in the Pence Conference. T5UT just as big as nil this stands Eng land, ns matters ate at the beginning of the conference, the controlling factor In the conference.

Lord Nouhcliffo gave 11 little ie ceptlon to the piess, the American press, at the Tiits:, He Is the only person who has done so, n fact not without significance.

An up-to-date nation miy be Judged by its talent for pub liclty. Publicity vvns an American Inven tion. When the Peace Conference diew nenr, some one In Washington happily thought that there must be provkion for publicllj. President Wilson's trip to Paris was a great publicity feat. Put for per fect publicity there must be repot ters. Two or threo days before tho time to start a ship was provided to take the American prets to Europe. The party landed in the mud at llrest.
