Likens Him to Old Fox Who May
Loso His Hair, but Not
Hi3 Tricks
CAN'T FOOL PEOPLE, HE SAYS
i
"An old fox may lose hi linir, but
he doesn't loe hii tricki."
This, In a nutshell, l the git of Sen
ator Edwin H. Vnro'- comment on nn
article prepared by Sennlnr lenrnc nn
"Municipal Iteform in rinl.-ulelphi.i."
which has been xxiilcl circulated liere
and in other lnrge citie. partirulnrlj
In Washington. In the nrtule Senator
Penrose, bitterly availed rontrni-tor-controllcd
politics bore and lil.imril it
for many of the municipal evlN which,
he bclicxcs, will now be eon n ted bj
application of the ne v. i Ity charter.
Statement bx Varo
Senator Vaie's statement follow
"Citizen", xxho have the interest of j
the city nt heart will do well to con-
sidcr the latest 'reform declaration hv j
Senator Penrose in the light of his pnt '
record and performance. I
"Yesterday's Philadelphia newpnpeis
carried a statement bv Penrose on 'Mil
nicipal Reform in Philadelphia ' lie
is, he explains, somewhat peeved be
cause the Lesislatim- failed to im nrpo
rate in the new (barter a prnimn
giving Philadelphia nonpartisan mu
nicipal elections. '
"'Municipal govei timer', the news
papers quote Penrose as sax ing. 'in
creases efficiency in the exact ratio in
which it is divorced from partisan poli
tics. The new Philadelphia charter
fails to take a lnrge step in this til-'
lection and is, therefore, not all xvhati
it ought to be.' ,
Checked by Governor
"How does this statement cnnrcin-,
ing nonpartisan municipal government
tit with his performance in the matter?
ast month when he was m Harris
burs, 'taking charge' of the Legislature,
on the same day that he gave out a
statement advocating nonpartisan go;
ernment for Philadelphia, his followers
in the Legislatuie. under his direction,
passed a law whnh destrnjed non
partisan government m tent -eight or
thirtv third-class cities m this stnte
Furthermore, if (toxernm Sprout had
not put his foot down. Penrose would
haxe done the same thing for Pitts
bmgh and Pcranton.
'An old fov ma lose his hair, but
he doesn't lose his tiicks Penrose,
who no longer has anj standing with
the Republican puitx in this citj . is
pla.xing the reform game in I lie hope
that he can fool tne people.
Brought Defeat of Party
"Taxpayers will well lemember that
Penrose nnd his friends a few jears ago
tried to take the gus woiks away fiom
them and sell it to the United (las I in
provement Companx, nnd the attempt
resulted in the defeat of the Kcpuhlnnn
ticket in this city and state
'So one in Philadelphia whn is fa
miliar with his record will be fooled
by his present attitude. .lust now he is
posing as a veformer because he has
lost standing with the Republican paitj
in this city. There is an old adage
which fits his case. 'When the devil
was sick, the devil a monk would be,
when the devil was will, the devil a
monk was he.'

WANT PRINCE HERE
Governor Thinks It Fitting Wales
Should Visit City
Governor Sproul expressed his regret
toduy upon learning that the itinerary
of the Prince of Wales does not in
clude u visit to this city.
"It seems to me that the historic
citv in xvhich the nation xvns born
should be one of the particular places
that our distinguished visitor .should
be shown." said the Governor.
While the tentative program for the
prince's visit to this country in Oc
tober includes a visit to New York and
Washington, no mention is mnde of a
stop at Philadelphia.
Vice Consul Ford, of the Britisli con
sulate here, said it was unlikely the
prince would come to Philadelphia on
account of the shoituess of his stay in
the I'nited Stutes.
Goxernor Sproul, who is in Wash
ington, will make inquiries there to as
certain definitely whether or not this
city may expect to receive the prince.

AIR-MAIL SERVICE
E
Lacking a Suitablo Landing
Place, City C&ases to Be a
r Station of Call
ORDER WAS UNEXPECTED
This city is no Jonger a "port of
cnll" for the airplanes carrying the
mail between Washington nnd New
York.
The service, discontinued temporarily
because of the lack of a suitable land
lug field nearer the center of the city,
xvns suspended this xveek. Cancellation
of the service from this city xx-as ordered
by Second Assistant Postmaster General
Otto Prncger.
The landing field nt Ilustlcton, where
nlr mall from this city xvas loaded 'oaV
the plnucs from Washington and Nexv
York, is now held only for emergency i
uses. It Is a desolate spot these days
instead of a field of activity, as for
merly, xvhen txvico a day the mail planes
alighted and arose on their interrupted
flights. ,
Failure to obtain permission to us '
llelmont Plnteau, in Fairmount Park,
as a landing place for the planes is at
tributed as reason for the discontinu
ance of the air mail service from this
city by Superintendent of Malls T. P.
Johnson. Th6 notification that the '
service xvould be discontinued came to
the local officials- without warning.
The order read : ,
"Effective Monday, July 21, 1019,
exchanges of mail nt Philadelphia from
airplanes operating betxveen Washing
ton and New York will be discontinued,
and planes flown through.
"The time of departure of planes
from Washington will be nt 10:30 a.
m. instead of at 11:00 a. m."
xx nen tne air man service was first
Parted, the into of postage xx-as fixed
i tlrrai,.fm t, nn ,, T.tf.,.
xvere immediately delivered to the ner-
sons or firms to whom they were ad-
dressed, as if special delivery stamps
had been affixed.
When the airplanes stopped at Bus--tlcton
the mall carried by them from i
Philadelphia went to Bustleton by a
circuitous route. The Postoffice Depart
ment transported it to Broad Street
Station nnd delivered it by train at the
North Philadelphia station.
There the mail xvas turned over to
representatives of the air mall service
nnd transported to the flying field at
Bustleton by motorcar. The same
route xx as followed in the case of malL
arriving by airplane for Philadelphia.
