And so docs a mu nicipality unable to peifoim its functions or even to pay its legitimate bills. Mayor-elect Moore has a keen sense of relative values and ho is unafraid to ad vocate an unpopular policy as an offset to something much more distasteful that is likely to result from blinking the facts. His plain speaking to the members of the new Council of twenty-one was a recognition of the truth that the ptoseiit Mayor's budget is not big enough to run the city as it should be run. Responsibility for the foreshadowed embarrassments does not rest upon the new Council. The Varc-controlled body would naturally delight in the favor which comes to any legislature which keeps down the tax rate. Such a course makes for friends and Votes. By the time tho disastrous effects that sort of demogogy is manifest 19 blame lodges on the now administra- ion, seldom on its alleged kindly and considerate predecessor. Mr. Moore knows all about these per sistent legends. He is also acquainted with the susceptibility of "job cowaids." That is what makes his expressed inton ation to reduce the ranks of ofliceholders at City Hall, in case the old taxes can not meet the municipal expenses, so pointed. It bids fair, too, to be effective and in the best interests of tho com munity. The veil over the old Vare machine bluffs, is becoming thinner and thinner. THE HIGH COST OF MAYORING fyySNT surprising that Mrs. Blanken- . . .(ourg, Mrs. Weaver and Mrs. Smith ,6uld be the first to offer valiant sup- LVp,f)ort to the suggestion of an increase in thfj. Mayor s salary. Women know ,brtter than men the harsh lealities of living- costs, They nave to make ends xnee.t and they have an unerring and instinctive sense of the value of appear nnces. It is odd that tho city has to be reminded that its Mayors, because of its stinginess, are in actual danger of hav ing to wear shabby clothes. Mr. Moore is one of the few men who have entered the Mayor's office with little beyond their salaries to depend upon. A. Mayor, as Mrs. Blankenburg has sug gested, must keep up appearances and preserve a careful regard for the social conventionalities. The gleaming top hat now staggering in cost, we art? in formed and the taped cutaway are frip peries without which au ordinary citi zen may struggle along. A Mayor has to have them. He has to give enter tainments and he has to travel occa sionally. Even if the salary of tho office were to be increased from $12,000 to $18,000 a year, no Mayor of Philadelphia will have an easy time of it unless he hap- tpens to have private means. PRINCETON AS AN INVESTMENT PRINCETON UNIVERSITY belongs as much to Pennsylvania as to-New Jersey. There are about 350 students from each state studying there. Prince ton is only about an liour'n ride from Philadelphia by train. It is at our doors. The Princeton Club in this city is one of the most flourishing institutions of ts kind. So when Philadelphia is asked to con tribute of her wealth towaid the fund of $14,325,000 needed to carry on the vork of education at Princeton it is merely asked to do her share toward sustaining the university that serves her. Princeton needs thp money. There is So doubt about it. Her annual budget as increased from $157,000 in 18!)5 to 847,000 in 1915. A dollar today will "jiot buy what it would five years ago. Ihe university has had to abandon some bf Its work because of lack of money. It has lost good professors because other institutions with more money could pay to them a living wage. It needs money now, not only to incieasc the pay of the "profei3or, but to enable it to carry on jhc work in winch it is engaged with tsunauiu jjjuvidiuii iui us expansion tor ftnext ten years. 'Jtf'nnd every othei university seeking ,jrCr endowment can ash. tor lunus now better nope ol getting tnein than t any previous time. The war has cmonstrated the value of tho institu tions of higher education with their body tjf trained expeits in various subjects. 'J he chemists and the physicists and the taiheniaticiaiis proved that there was rjicticul value in their knowledge. 1 hey Iped win the war. mcyvjiavc shown in en&aced in business that scientific xpVta are worth hiring and that they tlaijpe SuppilVU 11 wr me w jjci. me st. results .I'on, our exertions. t :oM8eauently. when the men in charge f tber MUiversitles say that if they aie eepptlntM to do ttieir wont eiucieiuiy $ nftttt l W: to eoinnnathe serv. tTtVNfNiM VeMtr, - nicy cannot do this without larger endow ments they are making their plea to u public that wiil receive their appeals with gi eater confidence than at any other time.- The Princeton graduates will undoubt edly contribute generously to tho new fund. But broad-minded men who are graduates of no college will doubtless also invest their wealth in the insti tution, confident that it will yield gi cater icturns for tho country than if put in lailroad bonds. THE PRESIDENT CAN BREAK THE TREATY DEADLOCK There Can Be No Ratification Unless He Will Meet the Senate Halfway rpHE first thing to bo noted in any con- - sideration of the present sums oi the peace treaty is that tho nation de mands its ratification. There is no doubt whatsoever about this. We wont to war with (ieiinany in conjunction witli the other nations of the civilized world. Our representatives, se lected in the constitutional manner, join ed with the representatives of more than twenty other nations in lr.jing down the teims under which Germany could have peace. It took many months for tho confetcncc to come to an agreement. There was concession after concession and compromise after compiomisc until the minds of tho delegates came to gether. Theie was agi cement not only on the teims on which Cemiany could hac peace, but also on the constitution of a league of nations, the purpose of which was to make it difficult for any nation in the futuic to bicak the peace of the world. No one i cached out into the upper air, diew down the terms of the covenant and imposed them upon an astonished Peace Conference. Agreements are not come to in that way. As Governor Coolidgc, of Massachu set.s, has remarked, "Men do not make laws; they only discover them." The conferees in Paris sought to dis cover how far the world was ready to go in the direction of a combination to pre vefit future wars. The covenant is mere ly a foi mutation of the state of opinion of the nations represented. They were ready to go so far and no further. They put its various sections in such form as would make it possible for each nation to act in accordance with its constitutional icstiictions in order that tho agreement might be workable. This is the document which was sub mitted to tho Senate by the President in July. The Senate, which is half of the treaty-making power of one of the scores of nations affected, set out to re write certain sections of tho treaty and to make its interpretations of certain other sections. It has a perfect right to do this. It has a perfect right to lewrite the whole treaty from beginning to end and send it back to the President. And the President has an equal right to refuse to submit a rewritten treaty to the other contracting powers. The Senate in the past has rewritten treaties and the President in the past has put the treaty so changed into a pigeon hole and forgotten it. The minds of tho Senate and of the President must come together before any treaty can be put into effect. The action on Wednesday night has produced a deadlock between the Presi dent and the Senate. The responsibility for this situation Is divided. The President himself cannot escape his share of the blame. He did not take the Senate into his confidence in the first place. He did not put on tho peace com mission any distinguished representative of the majority party in the Senate, neither a senator nor a party leader out of office. This ,was a tactical blunder of the worst kind as events have proved. As a result the Senate has been resent ful. It has tried to put the President in a hole. The spokesmen of his own party have blundered continually because tho Presi dent has not taken them into his confi dence. For weeks Senator Hitchcock was backing and filling without knowing in which direction he was expected to move. He could not get any guidance from the White H6usc. While the Republicans were trying to prove that Wilson had blundered in Paris, tho Democrats were floundering in despair. There was no lead ership on either side worthy of the name. No ono lose to the occasion and demanded that all personal and partisan feeling be 'gnored while the grave issues involved in bringing a world peace be considered on their merits. And thus the United States is humili ated in the eyes of the world today. Theie is only one way out. and that is the vuy of compromise. The Senate has refused to ratify the treaty with the Lodge preamble, with the fifteen amendments and reservations at tached to it. It has also refused to latify the treaty without reservation or amendments-. That is, it will not have the treaty I without some explanation of what tho United States understands it to mean, and it will not hac it with the kind of explanations contained in the rejected resolution. It lomains to discover what kind of explanations both the Senate and the Piesident will consent to, for it is evident that there must be some interpretative resolutions adopted if the treaty is to go through. Senator Lodge has remarked that tho treaty is dead unless the President can find some way to circumvent the Senate rules. But the country is not going to consent to the slaughter of the treaty. Senator Lodge and the lest of them will discover this before many days. And wo are of tho opinion that the President will discover it also. Each must come down from his high horse, get his feet on the ground and face the situation. The technical procedure for getting the treaty before the Senate again is of less than little consequence. It can be sub mitted again as though it were new mat tor if there is any disposition so to do. The disposition iri the only thing that needs to be considered. The President 5s tho one rrrw In Wash ington whose loyalty to r treaty is undoubted,. le assisted h'Mrafting' it, and ho is gruvely concerned with Its ratification. 11 is evident to tho most in different that it cannot bo latlfied with out somo explanatory resolutions. If tho President seeks again to give orders to L the Senate, us the opposition senators assumed ho did in the letter which Senator Hitchcock read on Tuesday, he will make a grue mistake. What is needed most of all just now is u manifestation by the President of a dis position to meet the Senate halfway, to make concessions, to consider the human susceptibilities of men just as patriotic and as able as he. He is not the whole show, us he very well knows. No one understands the constitutional functions of the Senate belter than he. The dead lock has come because lie has disregarded these functions and sotrght to impose his will upon ninet,v-si able and patriotic men. Whether his will was light or wrong in the abstract is not the question at issue jusUiow. It may bo that the treaty ought to be ratified without the dotting of an "i" or the crossing of a "I." That is beside the question today because condi tions have arisen under which such rati fication is impossible. The news fioni Washington indicates that there arc at least seventy-six senators who wish the treaty ratified. It ought not to be beyond the powers of the President and the leaders of these men to find a way to bting this about within a few days after the Senate reconvenes a week from Monday. A FLAW IN THERESOLUTION rpHE impression that the latification of -- the tieaty by three of the princi pal allied and associated powers and Germany establishes a state of peace between Geimany and all the other na tions arrayed against her in the war is picvalent in many quarters. This view is recognized in the Lodge icsolulion submitted at the hectic clos ing session of the Senate on Wednesday. According to the text, which was re ferred back to the foreign relations com mittee, "Whereas, by the terms of the treaty of Versailles, Germany is to be at peace with all the nations engaged in the war against her whenever three governments designated therein have ratified said treaty; now, theieforc, be it resolved by the Senate (the House of Repiesentatives concurring) that the said state of war between Geimany and the United States is hereby declared to bo at an end." The only flaw in this resolution is its complete misstatement of fact. Three of our former allies cannot ratify the treaty for the United States. They have no power to establish a state of peace be tween our.ielves and Germany. The treaty explicitly declares that Germany shall begin to fulfill certain obligations when three of the principal powers have deposited a record of their ratifications and she herself has signed it. In that sense the treaty comes into force on a particular date "between the high con tracting powers who have ratified it." "In all other respects," proclaims the mooted document, "the tieaty will enter into force for each power on tho date of the deposit of its ratification." In other words, this country cannot have its peace made for it by other nations. That seems to bo a wise ar rangement, respectful of our national initiative. In considering the peace declaration resolution the foreign relations commit tee may perhaps find time to examine the actual text of the peace' treaty. There it will find that as legards ratification the rights of the United States and its integrity as a nation arc acknowledged in a way which Mr. Lodge seems to hav e ovci looked. Many lives wcie lost Inconclusive m the war that would not lmvc been lost If the American army had bcru properly t mined before it went iuto uctiou, and the fact is used as au argument for compulbory universal military training. Entirely apart from tho merits or demerits of the suggested plan, it may be noted that tho training Uic men got eventually was one possible only In actual warfare, and the penalty paid was nlso paid by every other participating nation, each in its turn. ' New Voik is purging Question! its schools of Bolshev ist U acliers. Arc other cities more fortunate than New Tork in that they have no Bolshevists in their schools or simply more careless than New York in that they have not discovered them? While, operators and miners are trying to reach an agreement the public is "holding the bag" which , would be no hardship at nil if there wbh likelihood of coal dropping iuto it. Theatrical note The Senate production will have a distinct bearing on the next Ilepiiblicnn convention drama, but tho show vi ill probably have an entirely new cast. It's a slitoen-to-one shot that 'William Jennings Brjan wished his open question to financiers to be as disagreeable as possible. The peace treaty not dead, but gone be fore the court of public opinion. Not It. I. P., but RIP! With 50,000 men at his back, D'An-nun-tlo is in a position to brave any pub lisher. Would it 1m impolite to characterize Washington gossipas Babble from Babble-on? It isn't the end of the peace treaty; it is merely the end of tho 'steenth chapter. Since the P. It. T. is out of favor, Ger manlown thinks itself entitled to a bus. The countrj's most important slogan continues to be "Uaek to the inlues!" Colonel Groome's reticence may imply that he believes in safety first. New York's milk strike ought to la crease tho butter business.

Berkman in pnrtlrulnr has a criminal record that In Itself should be sufficient to return Mm to IiIh native Bus sin. No other oountrj under the sun would have wuslcd so much time and money In attempting (o prove Hint this mad-dog of civilization was, unworthy of an ns.ilum. An aggravating feature of the proceeding to every right-minded American In this con nection is the publication of excerpts from Berkmau's egotistical and blnlaut account of his exploits ngnlnst Individuals and lnv, and order since he tlr.sl lauded in this country. Particularly offensive is his self-glorification in connection with his attempt to as sassinate II. O. Flick in Pittsburgh during the llumcstead riots or 1S112. It is the at tempt of a would-be murderer to justify and excuse his. crime : to place upon record, nrrogantly uni! boustfullj , the details of an attempted honiliiilc for which he deservtdly spent ears in prison. But Berkiiuin's cpcricmv within prison walls failed to straighten the kinks in his disordered brain. Ever since his release froii. the Western Peii!tii)tlar. his handjias been against the government and soclejj. lie euileitv fired in every possible way to foment sedition during the recent win- and as a result he again donned the stripes for the period of a sentence all too short. rpHE only wonder is that Berkman has not 1 while nt liberty, in the ii.lervening years since IfiHL', attempted more homicidal acts. That he has not is due to lack of nerve. The will to slay is unquestionably para mount in the creature, but the craven flesh Is weak. Alexander Brkman is a coward. In that respect he is like all anarchists. They kill in the dark, tire from ambush, or shoot un suspecting victims in the back. The latest exhibition was the Ccntralia, Wash., episode, where they killed re turned soldiers while participating in au armistice parade. Before that, there wus the Snn Krancisoo crime which enmeshed Tom Mooncy in its net. The most cowardly of their crimes was the blowing up of eight een miners nt Independence, Col., in 11)0-4 -it 4 o'clock in the morning. No thorough -paced anarchist ever met a man face to face and gave him a fighting chance for Ids life. T KNOW that Alexander Berkman is a -- coward. I saw him at the apex of his criminality, and if ever human being dls plajed the white feather and manifested tho width of the elIow streak that is in him, this Russian outcast did on that occasion. It is interesting to recall the episode In connection with the lecent publication of Berkmau's own account of his attempt on II C. Prick's life, wherein he describes with what purports to be exact detail and with an insanity of egotism how ho en deavored to accomplish his purpose. He is his own hero; the martyr. The facts are that had not Mr. Prick, unarmed, attacked unawares and handicapped by his wounds, grappled with his assailant his life would have been the forfeit. So far as I am aware I am one of the two surviving witnesses of an episode that stamped Berkman not only as a coward but a crnven. It occurred in a police station in Pittsburgh, follow lug the commission of his crime. I had gone to Pittsburgh as a newspaper correspondent shortly nfter the outbreak of the Homestead strike. I was on Fifth ave nue the day when the word flew from lip to lip that II. C. Prick had been assassi nated. Before I could reach the Carnegie building on lower Fifth avenue, where the assault had been committed, the thorough fare was blocked and the police had dif ficulty to restrain the crowd. Berkman, the would -be assassin, had been captured and rushed down to the central police station in Oak alley by policemen and detectives. A BRICK church edifice in Oak alley, once the property of tho Reformed Presby terian Church, hnd been remodeled iuto a police station; the old ccniial station on Diamond alley having been demolished. I hurried down to Oak alley and the guard st the entrance, who knew me, permitted me to pass. I wns'informed that Berkman was being examined In the sergeaut's room, the door of which was locked. Rapping at the door, it was opened barely two inches by Roger O'Mara, then chief of police, with whom 1 was personally ac quainted. I was admitted and the door relockcd. Roger O'Mara was, until his death some time ngo, one of Pittsburgh's most widely known police officials. In his Inter years he was employed by Mrs. William Thaw to look after the interests. of Harry Thaw, mid was subsequently appointed his guar dian and financial adviser. Reserved, ret icent, and, habitually cynical to his per soral friends and acquaintances, O'Mara was an ordinarily good-hearted fellow. Besides O'Mara in Jhc room were two detectives of Mb staff, one of whom was William Shore, tho other I think being Philip Deramel. In the center ofvthe room stood a young man starL naked. Ills clothes were lying on a chair and his shoes and socks on the floor beside them. His skin was a sickly yellow, his legs, arms and neck scrawny almost to the point of emaciation. He was smooth-shaven, bis hair thin, and bandv. his features prominent, especially his lips nnd nose, and be wore eye-glasses. His ps particularly were thick and protruding, the lower one hanging loose, disclosing his teeth. He was the most wretched human object I' have ever Been. He could scarcely hold himself erect.' His sagging lower ijp trembled and his whole body quivered as with a cblll. He was the living embodiment of abject terror. "What do you think of this damn thing?" exclaimed O'Mara, with a sneer as he jerked a thumb In the direction of tho nude. "Is this the fellow that shot Mr. Frlck?" I asked. "That's him," was the reply with un grammatical brevity. The police officials had just concluded their examination of Berkman. They had stripped hlra and gone through his clothes and were noting bodily marks of identifies tion. During tho entire time, they told me, he was too frightened to speak in anything but monosjllables. It seemed to me that tho wretch was on the verge of colUp8e froTO fear. There had been some sort of demon stration against him by" tho crowd outsidti the Carnegie offices and Instantly ai j, bravado bad deserted hlra and left hinj . ,ocd as plln, jordinary craven am THE CHAFFING DISH THEItn was a time when these stales were criticized for their tardintSs In get ting into the wnr; but wo are making up by our reluctance to get out of it.

Gazing at her unall nnd silent form, we are wo.idering whether we did all that we could to make life pleas ant for her. On looking through her casket more care fully we sec the reason for her untimely end. During our recent absence some unfeeling person put into her box a scrap torn from the Congressional Record, containing n sub ordinate clause fiom one of Mr. Lodges speeches. The autopsy gives the cause of decease as dropsy. We don't know just where Warren Per shing has vanishisl to, but vvc can Imagine him, Pcnrod fashion, saying, "Aw, shucks, that's nothin'," when told of the reception given the Prince of Wales.
