I'hlhilrMiU. Mndd. M.rtli 10. 1 THE SULWEH'ft JOH TT HAS been apparent from tin; first that there was a tinge of hysteriu in trihe prophecies of extensive unemploy ment in the United States. Europe will be prostrate for a lone time. That is not a condition by which we would gladly prosper. Hut it is a condition, nevertheless, which, if It does no more, will compel the United States to create in its own Industries mant of the com modities which formerly came from the other side. The later investigations of the Federal Employment Service appear to explain "the real beginning of those depressing rumors relative to jobless soldiers, and the explanation is cheering in many " ways. Soldiers it appears, aren't satisfied always to return to their own old jobs, for the simple reason that the discipline and training of the aimy has given them new ambitions and new desires. Many ,were made skillful in arious trades for merly unfamiliar. Others' weie taught to read and write English and still oth ers were started in lines of work that they wish to continue. Almost nil of them came out of the service with cleaner views and more resolute spirits. There is a likelihood that the quicken ing industry of the United States will And places for all these men before long. We shall have need of skill and ambition and intelligence for 'he great tasks that are now opening up before the business men of the country. ? OUR GOVERNMENT ABROAD f F CONGRESS were in session now there would be ominous rumblings .'because in April virtually all the active Tiead3 of the American Government will be in Europe. Secretary Lansing is already there waiting to be joined by the President. Secretary Baker and Secre tary Daniels are now arranging to go abroad to look into the affairs connected with their two departments. . Washington will be vacant. And yet, as matters are developing in Europe, it finust appear to every thoughtful person that we cannot have too many represent atives there to keep an eye on t'; Out of the present turmoil vnlUadjjPrf?W schemes and programs and processes. There are to be strange new develop ments in atmament and in the methods of warfare unless peace is made perma nent. It is rather comforting to feel that w e ,re not to be left in ignorance of these things. Knowledge must be the first stential of our own future prepared ness. 'i ! YOU CAN'T EAT PAPER TDECAUSE some retailers compel the " purchaser to pay from forty to sixty cents a pound for certain prepared meats, including the paper WTapped about them by the packers, the consumer pays the price of meat for paper which he cannot eat. There is about half a pound of this stuff on a ten-pound ham, which at cur rent prices costs the consumer about twenty cents. When the purchaser protests the re tailer says that he has to pay for the wrappings at the price of meat and must - vrrap them or lose money. the Bureau of Weights and Meas ures can persuade the Legislature to pass a bill which it has drafted making " if an offense to include the wrappings in i .& tWlrrVlf nf tllA man, tliA liM,aAls.T4ae irill rise Un and call it blessed. It is th lwrdensome enough to pay forty cents a -ivpeund for ham and fifty or sixty cents ffl a pound for bacon without being com pelled to pay at the same rate for a lot ef paper which must be thrown away. v WAGES THAT SELDOM RISE fPHE intention of the Presbyterians in 'America to use $1,000,000 of a fund , aw K f no1 amtfrTlf. in (niraacji in ualavlaa ? , ot ministers reflects an interesting side oZ the general wage question. A million JWlars will not go far among needy jTBien. kers of all sorts have had a share t ia usually called war prosperity. ytktMlonal men earn and spend more they used to. uiergymen and teachers have had most difficulty Hg the pressure of high prices tkelr general waffe has remained 1 I lalffwUniry, It is signiflcantthat HMftv i K.WkI tfKw' employments in n time when the value of a man's services was measured by the extent of his contribution to the destruc tive work of war. Tenchers nnd minis ters have a merely constructive mission in life, and for that reason they now range among the lowest-paid workers. Those who direct the public education system say with truth that they hnven't money to raise teachers' salaries. But the statement has a ring of complacency. Church organizations show little sign of distress because of their inability to pay the ministers a living wage. These aren't encouraging signs in a time when the world is hoping to find an answer to its riddles in the spirits of men and when all sorts of people are beginning to real ize that only knowledge can sustain the piescnt order of civilization. WHY' CAN HE DONE WHEN VOL' WANT 10 DO IT Detroit Hh. SIkihii the VTa in Uiirh We Can Follow if We lime tin- Nersr lo Scrap Outgrown 'lliinp ".('E more commend to the atten- ticn of erj one inteiested in the I heUciment of Philadelphia the serifs of urticles appearing on this page in which Mayor Coirens, of Detroit, describe. the successful housti'lenning methods of that city. It took Detroit only three years to wipe out the old-abuios and make a new start. It refoimed thn election laws under which the coiiupt politicians had been defeating the will of the majority It secured a change in the statute per mitting the election of a charter revision commission by wards b inducing the Legislature to authorise the election of a commission of nine on a general ticket; and it forced the old Boaid of Aldermen to put the subject of charter revision up to the voter). The voters decided they wiintfil the chatter revised. They elected the commission of nine. The commission drafted a modern charter und the voters ratified it. Tiie new charter provides for a City Council of nine members, not elected by wards nor by districts, but on a general ticket. This Council takes the place of the old Board of Aldermen of forty-two members, chosen two from each ward. And the Councilmen receive a salary of $6000 and meet eveiy day. Besides the Councilmen, only three officers are elected. They aie (he Mayor, the City Clerk und the City Treasurer. All the others aie appointed by the Mayor, and all except the heads of departments, their deputies and confidential secretaries are appointed from an eligible list piepared by the Civil Service Commission. A complete revolution in the manage ment of the affairs of the city has taken place in an incredibly short time. The city is alert ami facing the future. It has nearly doubled in size in the last eight years and now has an estimated population of 850,000. The 400,000 new citizens who have taken up their resi dence theie are not bound by any sort of ties to the old forces which hae been dethroned. They wanted better things and the did not care what became of the political leaders who had built up an organization through jears of arduous effort. And the political leaders could not go to them and demand support on the score of past favors. The whole subject was considered on its merits, without regard to the effect upon any thing except the good of the whole com munity. This is what happens in a young and growing city facing the future. The at tention of Detroit is concentrated on the great things that it is to do instead of on the great things which it has done. The complacency of the old man who devotes his time to pleasant contempla tion of the obstacles he has overcome and to amiable chatter about his achieve ments is fatal to growth. Such a man has passed beyond the period of accom plishment. And any city which gets into a similar mental stale win stagnate, while its more alert rivals will get the population and business which properly belong to it. Philadelphia has for years been in the state of the old man proud of his past. There are encouraging symptoms now manifest that it is renewing its youth. The leaven of a wholesome discontent is at work. We are beginning to perceive things that must be done and wo are beginning to believe that they can bo done. It has taken twenty years or more to bring Fairmount Park by way of the Parkway into the heart of the city, and because of the delay tho cost has been more than doubled. But within the last two or three years the enterprise has been pushed, until the roadway is nearly completed. It is still to be adorned with dignified public buildings. Plans have been drawn for a splendid art museum to contain large collections and for a smaller museum to house the Johnson paintings. The free public library build ing will soon be under way. A conven tion hall must be erected. These struc tures will set the pattern for others that will ultimately make the Parkway one of the finest boulevards in the world. This thing was conceived and executed here and shows what we can do when we set about it. But it is only the beginning of greater things. Artists and architects are dreaming of a boulevard along the hanks of the Schuylkill River which shall bring the delightful river driveway in the park down into the city as far as League Island, connecting the League Island Park with the greater pleasure ground. This dream will some day become a reality and the bridges and driveways of the Schuylkill will become in time as famous as those of the Seine in Paris. I The opportunity for beautiflcation Is here, and we all know it, but we have hesi tated for yenrs to take advantage of the facilities with which nature has gener ously supplied us. Some day we shnll have n great union railroad station, which will bring the through trains into the heart of the city and disclose to the traveler from the West and the East something more than a passing glimpse of the outskirts of the town. In some of the western cities great hotels are made a part of the union railroad station in order to make it more convenient for the business man who comes to) town. They are courting trnde and use all the arts that their ingenuity can suggest. And some day, too, our subway sys tem, now woefully inadequate to accom modate the people who use it, will be rxpandei. and developed until all parts of the city aie linked with all other parts by rapidly moving trains acting us shut tles to weave the fabric of civic unity. We could continue almost indefinitely to enumerate the improvements which the people are thinking of, but nre slow to force to completion. But it is unnec rssarj . There are plans enough. Every one agre"S Unit they ought to be carried out. And they will be if the men whose minds arc concentrated on the future continue in the course in which they have begun. SPRING AND GASOLINE An I UTOMOBILE salons such as that hich is revealing its glamours in Philadelphia this week nre usually timed to the advent of spring, the season of hope. For every one who doesn't already riile on rubber tires yearns to do so and probably will. The motorcar industry is not troubled by the stresses and confusions precedent to peace. It is transcendent. And that is because it gives a man an amazing lot of happiness and satisfaction for his money and contributes vnstly to tho health of his spirit. The miraculous vogue of automobiles is easily explained. An automobile renews wonder. It gives a man something to play with and thereby renews his youth. Ail planes will never displace motorcar.-, because an air machine is tricky and treacherous, while a motor on wheels is the embodiment of gracious obedience. And it is more faithful than a dog. Most di iters wonder why their machines go at all. The everyday automobile is a mira cle of consistency. It i3 neglected, mis used under inexpert hands, joy-ridden, bumped against telegraph poles and trolley cars, and yet it rises up fresh each morning and proceeds nimbly to the day's work. Those who cuise the. devil-wagon do it a great injustice. They should curse the perversity of hu man nature, because a motorcar left to itself will stand forever at a curb and huit no one. If it speeds and does dam age, it is only because it is being domi nated by defective human intelligence. Any old devil-wagon gives stimulus to the imagination of the man who drives it because there isn't one driver in a thousand who can sit down and tell you why the thing goes. Most of the persons who ride in automobiles have, therefore, the happy sense of -moving always in the arms of mystery. They otvn all out doors. Naturally, the motor fanatic holds his car in affection and lies shame lessly about its prowess, its elan and its burly defiance of hills. N'o' driver of an automobile ever tells all the truth about his car. His sense of gratitude is too great. The mascot of the Idaho will, of course, be Dolly Daydreams. If a small Council is a good idej, why not a small Congress? A meeting of "Iliini" Lewis and l'iej oURhl to provide food for thought. liven with increased rates WMtPr will remain the cheapest and best beverage. Food prices and taxes are alike suffer ing from bad attacks of the "Jumps." Much of the reconstruction and read justment necessary these da.yn is in tho mind. Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Idaho may now "point with pride" to the new battleship. If we really need the 14,000 volunteer police now belntr commissioned ours is in deed a parlous state The Kovernments of the world after squandering their dollars will by and by get down to counting their pennies asain. One thing that makes Rolshevism im possible in this country Is that bondhold ers are too common to be railed against. There are some things the war has not changed. Handkerchiefs are smaller, but noses remain tho hiimc size as for merly. It will now bo the dream of Inventors to build a battleship that can sink tho Idaho without giving her a chance to use her guns. Hearing on the Itorke bill in City Hall today. It may be accepted at read that the white light of truth will be turned on the bluo laws. Three cheers, etc. One thing the war proved: Wealth or lack of It had nothing to do with pa triotism. Itlch and poor alike were for the most part 100 per cent American. If Silas Wegg's taxidermist friend chanced to be a member of the Town Meeting party h would doubtless describe conditions In Philadelphia as "Politics, Vare-lous." The coming generation will probably gee tho extremes meet In the development of the fastest method of transportation and the slowest the airship and the Inland waterway. - 1 REFORM IN DETROIT The Election Laws Had lo Be He vised Before It Was Possible to Get the Riht Kind of a . Charter By JAMES COUZESS Mayor oj Detroit Mayor Couttni, of Detroit, explains today or f)ir benefit nf the Kvcntna Public Ledger reader hoin the clly derurrd a new charter which made it possible to net rid of the fitnara which had yrown up unrfri" the old fashioned partisan political siilom. n TROIT'S drat step lonard a better -' gov trolt Citizens League and other nonparti san elements undertook to have tho elec tion laws revised. This was In 10IS and Detroit at that time knew the "controlled precinct" so prevalent In other municipali ties These civic Interests were aroused by the exposure of a number of aldermen of the fortv-two-man Council for their ton nectlon with graft, alleged to hnvn been paid In a railroad street-closing deal An amendment was secured to the state election law permitting volunteer organiza tions to place challengers In the booths. Thereupon ensued a bitter struggle and the volunteers bad to keep their places In the booths with the aid of their fists. A roass of evidence was offered to the Council, but this body took no action and the nld of the newspapers was secured for the pur pose of forcing an Issue on the matter. Finally, after a bitter controversy a char ter amendment was framed by a committee of citizens appointed by the Mayor. This amendment created an election commis sion. The Council fought this amendment, but the citizens' body secured a petition signed by 10,000 voters and the legislative body was beaten. Thereupon the corrupt board members In the precincts were weeded out. One of the lust acts of the old boards was to pad the registration rolls at tho General registration In tho fall of 1916. It was the Intention of the unsciupulous ones to mark ballots for the thousands of fraudu lent names. A citizen body began a house to-house canvass on the registration and unearthed KUfllcIent evidence to arouse the prosecutor's oftlco to action and the entire registration was checked and the rolls veri fied. This work insured honest elections, but Detroit still had much work to do before she had an efficiently organized govern mental system. "PVETROIT'S conscience was beginning to --' awaken. Men who had never voted before, began to do bo, whereupon there nroso a demand for a new city charter, concise and simple, to replace the old ono of 800 odd pages, grown contradictory be cause of its many and varied amendments. The state home rule act, however, provided for the election of charter commissioners by wards. The wide-awake members of the citizens' organization saw the dangers hero and began to work upon an amend ment to be presented to the legislature, substituting for the partisan ward-elected commission a jionpartlsan body of nlno members elected from the city at large. This matter was passed by the, state Legis lature, but the forty-two aldermen from the twentj-one wards had yet to see the light. The citizens had to circulate initiative pe titions to gain their point, and the ques tion tas forced upon the ballot. TX NOVEMBER, 1917, tha proposal to revise tho charter was passed and a commission of nine nonpartisans set to worl: to write the new Instrument. It was completed and submitted to the people on June 25, 1918. The newspapers were unani mous in Its support and the only opposi tion came from the members of the forty-two-man Council which Its provisions would reduce to nine men, elected at large. So aroused had public sentiment become that the aldermen did not dare oppose the pas sage openly. Tho new code carried by a vote, of nearly eight to one. This charter provides for a nonpartisan government of ten men, nine Councilmen and the Mayor. Such a government was elected on November C, 1918. No faction or district obtained a preponderance of representation. The members were fairly divided between the east and west sides of the city and the men elected aro for tho most part business men. Five members of the old Council were elected, men who represented the best of tho old body. The election plainly Indicated that once the electorate Is aroused to the duty of taking advantage of Its franchise. Its Judgment Is exceedingly discriminating. The council meets dally In commltteo of the whole and on Tuesday evening. Its members are expected to devote all the time necessary to their duties and receive $5000 a year as a salary. One member Is a steamboat man, one a real estate man, one a lumberman, one a manufacturer of ginger nle, one a tax expert, one a lawyer and a welfare director, one a labor man, one an Insurance man and alderman in tho old body for ten years and the ninth an ex street car employe, as well as a business man In a real estate way. The large Jew ish and Polish populations are botn idiiv sented. The voters picked these men from sixty odd candidates. My own campaign was conducted without the use of campaign cards or banners and the expenditure was less than $2000. I did use newspaper ad vertisements, i The charter adoption was assured by pood sensible advertising copy, appealing to the pride of the electorate In good gov ernment. The advertisements were pala for by subscriptions of representative citi zens. On election day the Detroit Citizens' League supplied tags reading: "I Voted I Am an American Did You?" The Councilman who was elected as a representative of the laboring men was not npproved by the so-called "labor" class. He was not on the Vslate," but won the votes of both union and non-union men, again showing the fine discrimination which an aroused electorate may show. My own campaign was directed more to getting men to vote and In attacks upon the man who votes selfishly for the grind ing of his own ax than to arguing with my opponents. In fact, I did not enter n single argument with my opponents. f Tomorrow Mayor Ooun tcrtll eonclad hts ejotfe A OttroU Hi .j WHEN irj iAjeRe YbifA ggg ; A ml TrHMrfltfC ABOUT LOHcrJl MAxf YOO TAXEP ATHt-eTlC T THOU6HT j (yj Goods? do.

Social Chat May we not say how delightful It Is to find that there Is at least one other fellow who doesn't answer letters any more promptly than we do? Doctor Kruaen, step out and receive this respectful cita tion! Wo know now wliy Mr. Wilson was so eager to seek the seclusion that a cabin grants. He wanted to be left alone wkh that income tax blank for a while. The complexities of the league covenant are child's play by comparison. We sometimes wonder how many Presi dents of the United States were able to sing the "Star Spangled Banner" and hit both the high and low notes without a vocal blow-out. According to one biog rapher, Thomas W. Wilson can do It nd: mlrably, and his associates on the Univer sity of Virginia Glee Club still remember "the thrilling effect with which he usually achieved the high note near the end of the Star Spangled Banner.' " While exulting over the presence of Woodrow's grandson In this city, let's not forget that Mr. Wilson's grandfather was a citizen of this town for some years. James Wilson, who thought so well of the printing business that he brought up all his seven sons as printers, came over from the north of Ireland In 1807 and got a job on u well-known Philadelphia paper of that time. The Aurora. He lived for several months at 4S Gaskill street, and In 1808 murrled and moved to Tenth and Spruce either the northeast or northwest corner, we don't know which. Perhaps eome one can enlighten us on this point. Still brooding over the Wilson clan, we are Informed that when Woodrow first went to Bryn Mawr College as a pro.'essor (In '85) he was adorned with a flowing mustache. Are there any of his former pupils who recall the aspect and architec ture of that whisker? We would like to know more about It. It Is always curious to find out just what aspect of Philadelphia has made an Im pression on those who have never "visited here. We were privileged to give Mr. and Mrs. John Galsworthy a fh-st glimpse of the city the other day, and we found that the thing that had been lurking In Mr. Galsworthy's mind was that Joe Merge thelmer Uvea near here. "One of your best novelists," said Mr. Galsworthy, speaking of Herseahelmer. We auwnt with seal One ft our, regrets is that 3t Mrta far e' '". . i A FELLER NEEDS A out In the placid dales of West Chester and rarely exhibits himself to his humblo admirers along Chestnut street. Mr. Galsworthy, by tho way, has a crisp word to say to those who blubber about the war's supposed "brutallzatlon" of the men who did tho, fighting. "Editors, jour nalists, old gentlemen and women will be brutalized In larger numbers thanour sol diers," he says. The work of rehabilitating those whose bodies were maimed In tho war Is urgent and magnificent, but how about the Btay-at-homes whose minds were crippled? Is there no surgery that can cure them? Mrs. Breshkovskaya, grandmother of tho Russlaih Revolution, Is here tonight to tell the Contemporary Club what Lenlne and Trotzky have dono to her grandchild. Wo trust the 'Contemporary will not decide to do anything drastic. The Chaffing Dish today traveled to a well-known Island in the Hudson River to act as orderly and batman for Philip Glbbs, -who comes to town tonight. Read the Dish, always first with the news that really matters. (Advt.) If they really want to punish the Kaiser, why not send him a few Incomo tax blanks to fill out? Or perhaps that was what he was doing when he was reported to be writing against time, hour after hour and day after day. We learned many things of Interest from Mr. Galsworthy, but (and we speak In all humility) he learned one thing from us. Happening to say that a certain statesman had got the goat of a certain treaty ratifying assembly, he was greatly inter-' ested. "Got their goat?" he queried. "What do you mean?" Wo explained that when A so conducts himself toward B as to cause B to lose his equanimity, B is said to forfeit his goat. Mr. Galsworthy was delighted with this figure of speech, and we look forward confidently to seeing It In his next book 'of literary essays. Wharton Stork complains that we have misquoted him in regard to his magazine, Contemporary Verse. nVhat we should have said was that Wharton is getting so much good poetry submitted for his maga zine that he Is continually exacerbated by having to return a great deal that he hasn't room for. These were not Wharton's exact words, so again we lay ourselves open to a mild blond rebuke. We wrote Wharton's utterance down carefully pn paper, but In the No Man's Land of our rolltop that paper has disappeared. -. Mrs. Galsworthy said, without .any prompting ,on our partt that she had seen "some qUIte nice little things" In Contem porary Verse. r Some day we hope to persuado Wharton that the real way to encourage ppets is .to be cruel to them. And as an evidence of our sincerity In this matter we shall-shortly send him a copy of our new book of verses. Senator Lodge is cooling off already. He now says that all he wanted was to have the league of nations project "care fully considered." Mr. Lodge, being a lit erary man, must have recalled a certain statement to the effect, "Heat not a fur nace for your foe so hot that.lt do singe XOWTMlt."'
