When and if Mr. Hepburn cleaves his job in the Bureau of Street Cleaning to assume larger responsibili ties with the State Highway Department he will leave with the people of this city i "a lot of astonishing information that ought to be of inestimable value to Phila delphia. The challenge flung at '.he street cleaning contractors cannot be ignored by ranking politicians now or in the 'future. Mr. Hepburn talks in figures. Figures are easily remembered. The exposure of exorbitant profits in the street-cleaning business leaves a big task for Mr. Winston and Mr. Moore. The people have heard the beginning of the (Story. They will want to hear the end (Of it. Mr. Hepburn's manner and his method ""show how necessary it is to have neu trals in office. Gentlemen's agreements, friendship, political affiliations or social relationships, such as often hinder even well-intentioned officials, didn't servo to divert him after his sense of order and decency had been affronted by what he found in the records of the Department Of Public Works. He may not be able to ' finish what he started. But somebody else will have to finish it. It isn't too inuch to say, therefore, that in his short 'term of office Mr. Hepburn has earned a Vear's salary or more. THE LEAGUE AT WORK TT WAS obvious from the outset that - without practical machinery the cove pliant of the League of Nations was pverely a proclamation of amiable princi ples. Fortunately, however, there aie 'Borne energetic reconstructors who are well aware of the danger of such critis cism and are prompt to forestall it. Article XIV has begun to live. This clause provides that "the council shall """"" Submit to the members of the league for adoption plans for the establishment of a Court of International Justice." This tribunal shall be competent to hear dis putes between the nations and may give n advisory opinion to the council or as sembly of the league. According to Mr. Balfour, Ehhu Root has been honored -with an invitation to contribute his learn ing and ability to those of a distinguished group of British, French, Italian, Bel gian, Norwegian, Serbian, Japanese, Spanish and Brazilian statesmen and gavants commissioned to devise the or ganization of the court. The preliminary conference will open in The Hague on Monday. "' This is the sort of hustling which ,BhouId immensely strengthen the cause of the league in America. Facts are now supporting faith. That we arc privi leged beyond other nations to profit by the transmutation of dreams into reali ties is surely an ironical reward for our delinquency. LAST SUFFRAGE CONVENTION rpHE National American Woman Suf- frage Association hails death with glee. Not since the extinction of the American Anti-Slavery Society in 1863 has any reform organization in this country anticipated its imminent pass ing so cheerfully. The "cause" is dying because it is vir tually won. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt predicts that New Mexico and Oklahoma will ratify the suffrage amendment be fore the convention closes. The assent of but three states will then be necessary to complete the necessary three-quarters of the Union. Hopes are reasonably pinned on Delaware, West Virginia and Connecticut. When they fall in line the half century of national conventions on behalf of equal political rights for women will be ended. Thcfuture holds problems utterly differ ent in nature from those which such un daunted champions of political justice as Susan B. Anthony, Lucretia Mott, Eliza beth Cady Stanton, Doctor Shaw and Mrs. Catt had to face,. The merger of the historic National Association with the National League of "Women Voters, which is to open its first '(convention today, is suggested. The prospect of harmony in the sessions is dubious. Party feeling, legitimate and inevitable consequence of the balm of franchise, has become piquantly asser tive. The situation recalls the youth of the nation. The first President was amazed sit the difficulty of presiding over a cabi net of variegated political complexities. 'he constitution makers, airily imagined that tho government could be peacefully headed by aPresidcnt and Vice President of contrasting political shading. The re vision both of public opinion and of our (fundamental national charter was swift. There is no reason to believe that the Vojnen will differ in political conduct Strom their male ancestors. It is healthier Xt tho nation for the League of Women Vetera to bo a bit tempestuous than Wkndly colorless, lut tho auguries of normal, lively jfkrife doea not detract a whit from the aptendor: of the almost accomplished emancipation., Tho chapter of liberty which tho women of America have writ ten will soon be accepted among tho com monplaces of established civilized free dom. We are apt at times to forget ideals which have been attained the abolitipn of imprisonment for debt, of the slave trade, of slavery. What tho women hnve wrought is akin in spirit to these reforms. That is why this fifty-first convention of suffragists is extinguished in glory. INDUSTRY'S STAKE IN HIGHER EDUCATION One Way to Help the University Is to Interest Big Business In What It Is Doing pONSIDERATION of the importance of providing a proper honorarium for Provost Smith, of the University of Pennsylvania, when he retires next June should occupy tho minds of the friends of the institution along with many larger questions cf future policy to be carried out by his successor. Prdvost Smith should be taken care of by the University. He has devoted his life to the work of one of the poorest paid professions in the country. The value of the services that he has rendered to the world cannot be measured by dollars. We say the world because the Univer sity is not merely a local institution. It has attracted to it between two and three hundred students every year from for eign countries as well as other hundreds from other states than Pennsylvania. The man who has directed its scho lastic functions and grown old in the harness must not be cast aside like a worn-out machine. The remaining years of the life of Provost Smith and every one hopes that they may be many can be made pleasant for him and profitable to the community if the trustees pay to him dividends on that which he has con tributed to its maintenance in the way of devoted service during more than a generation. It is unthinkable that they will not do this. But the trustees must keep their c'y'es on the future and prepare for the work that is to be done. An example of one way by which they can serve the Uni versity now and qualify themselves to give better service to it in the coming years is afforded by what happened at Brown University yesterday. This prosperous Rhode Island college is doing its best to increase its endow ment by $3,000,000. In order to get the benefit of the advice of the leading men of the state on the best way to increase the usefulness of the institution to its constituency, a dinner was given yester day to 150 distinguished men living within its .territory. Formal speeches were made by three of them and there was an informal discussion afterward. It is certain that the trustees and faculty know more today about the attitude of these men toward higher education than they knew yesterday, for they have taken the college out of its cloistered seclusion and brought it into contact with the cur rents of contemporary thinking. The University of Pennsylvania, in spite of its magnificent work and in spite of its great growth in the last twenty five years, "nas been handicapped because of the failure to make a concerted and delibeiate effort to interest in it all the men controlling the great industries in this commonwealth. Its endowment is inadequate. It has to look to the state treasury every two years for an appro priation to assist it in meeting its annual deficit. There is wealth enough here to free the University from the need of appeal ing to politicians who control the Legis lature biennially and to endow it so amply that the threat of cutting off its income can never be made. And there are other than political reasons for an adequate endowment. The money is needed to enable the University to carry on its work in all departments, whether they be affected by a relation to politics, to art or science or literature. The first step toward articulating the life of the University with the life of the commonwealth would be taken if a meet ing of professional and industrial leaders connected with its business life should be invited to a dinner in one of the buildings on the campus to discuss its future in connection with the selection of a new provost. Governor Sproul and Mayor Moore should be among the guests. Others should be men like John Wanamaker and Ellis Gimbel, E. T. Stotesbury and John Mason, L. L. Rue and Charles S. Calwell, merchants and bankers; Samuel Vau clain, of Baldwin's; Joseph McCall, of the Philadelphia Electric Company; Sam uel T. Bodine, of the United Gas Im provement Company; J. Howell Cum mings, of the John B, Stetson Company; Samuel Rea, of the Pennsylvania Rail road, are others whose names will occur to any one making out a list of the kind of guests to be invited. Then Charles M. Schwab, of the Bethlehem Steel Com pany, and E. H. Gary, Percival Rob erts, Jr., and Thomas Morrison, of the United States Steel Corporation, who? have increased their wealth because of the productivity of Pennsylvania, ought to be included. And the committee in charge should not forget men like T. De Witt Cuyler, S. D. Warriner, A. C. Dinkey and W. W. Atterbury. It is not necessary to particularize further. This column could be filled with the names of men who, whether they know it or not, are vitally interested in the unshackling of the University and in equipping it so that it can expand to meet the growing needs of the future. On the merely technical side it would be a good investment for these men to pro vide for the training of experts needed in their business. In science, for exam ple, a representative of tho du Ponts told a congressional committee the other day that it was Impossible to get chem ists enough to do the work which they wanted done. The war has demonstrated to manufacturers the value of both chem ists and physicists in industry. But we can't get these men unless the colleges are prepared to train them. On the selfish side, it is of the first im portance that the salt of sanity in eco nomic thinking bo preserved 4n ade quately endowed colleges where the mem bers of the faculties are not constantly rankling under a sense of injustice when they see mere money grubbers living in comfort while they have barely enough to eat. The seeds of, radicalism germi nate in the soil of Injustice. An intelli EVENING PUBLIC LEDGBK - gent and broad-minded self-interest should Impel the wealth of the country to keep pure the sources of the springs at which the youth get their inspiration. But it is not necessary to ask -any ono for money just now. It will bo enough for a beginning to malic- an attempt to interest the ablest men of the common-' wealth in the future of its greatest edu cational institution and to trust to their patriotism for the rest. LANSING AND THE PRESIDENT PUBLICATION today of the corre- . spondence between President Wilson and Secretary Lansing culminating in the resignation of the head of the De partment of State comes as a distinct shock to the people of the country and forms a disturbing influence which may have, far-reaching results and reactions of greatest importance. The five letters are bound to become historic. They tell as much between the lines as by what they actually state, amazing as the text of the correspond ence is. They show a bitter, irascible, un reasonable and almost malevolent tone and feeling on the part of tho President which will raise grave doubts of the power of judgment he is now able to ex ercise. They bespeak the wormwood and gall of the isolated, hermited but impe rious mind fettered and cramped by phys ical limitations. On the other hand they show a patience and loyalty on the part of the now reviled secretary which ought to have appealed to any but the most tyrannical egotist. This loyalty has been rewarded by the charge of seeking to usurp the presi dential functions during the illness and incapacity of the President! Mr. Lansing very properly denies that there was any usurpation, either intended or accomplished. He and the other mem bers of the cabinet merely met together and consulted in order to keep the ma chinery of the executive departments moving. He has not seen the President since he was taken ill in October. There is every reason to believe that the President was absolutely incapacitated for many weeks. But the government had to go on. Reports from Washington at the time indicated that Secretary Tumulty, during the first weeks of the illness, was really acting as President. If these reports are correct, Mr. Tumulty is a worse offender than Mr. Lansing and his associates in the cabinet, who arranged to consult to gether about the performance of their routine functions. The real offense of Mr. Lansing plainly is that he dared to disagree with the President and had the audacity to per-' sist in his opinions after the President had declined to accept them. It is an offense of which Mr. Lansing may be proud, for it grows out of the theory, that the business of an adviser is to advise, and that a peace commission, consisting of four dummies, who would act only when the fifth pulled the strings, was not fulfilling its proper functions. He goes out of office humiliated as far as it is in the power of the President to humiliate him. But in the process there has been a revelation of the mind and temper of Mr. Wilson which will not sur prise those who have followed his career from the time he became the head of Princeton University till the present. The time for Mr. Lansing to have resigned from the State Department was in the autumn of 1918, when Colonel House was sent to Europe by the Presi dent to represent him in the preliminary armistice negotiations. It was evident then that Mr. Lansing did not have the confidence of the Presi dent, and that, instead of using the instru ments established by law for conducting foreign negotiations Mr. Wilson preferred a private confidential agent with no legal, status whatsoever. If the secretary of state had resigned then he would have commanded the respect that is due to a man who declines to consent to be used as a doormat. But Mr. Lansing suppressed his per sonal feelings and pocketed his pride and remained to be kicked out of office on the most frivolous pretext ever set forth by an executive officer for dismissing a subordinate. Ho was loyal to the cause of peace and preferred to submit to the humiliations which began with the original dispatch of Colonel House to Europe and continued throughout the months when he was in Paris himself as one of the peace com missioners rather than exhibit to the world that there was serious discord be tween the President and his chief official adviser in foreign affairs. Public sympathy undoubtedly belongs to Mr. Lansing, and ho will get it, while the President, by his unjustifiable spleen and petty temper, will shrink accordingly in the estimation of all just men and women. Isn't life the durnedost thing? Just as soon ns we get through with grip the rail roads begin to itch. ltnilrnnd men are bound to discover that the public is vitally interested In the main tenance of ways and the necessity for keep ing them open. A cnal-wogon driver has just been sent to prison for ten days for blocking trolley traffic. Beautiful Snow, however, is still at large.

For this old Colonial highway is not important merely as tho street of Gilbert Stuart, Louisa Aleott and George Washington, but 'it is dynamic and vibrant today with a struggle more important than a hundred pitched battles, and just as thrill ing to gaze at.. Of all the old-fnshioncd sections of Amer ica, this one il7 perhaps, the last that pre serves unimpaired all of Its fighting spirit. Elsewhere, oh' In lower New York or down town Philadelphia, the eviction of the past has been achieved without any memVnble struggle. Old families have declined and o!() homesteads been reluctantly but firmly aban doned before the relentless advances of ware house and tenement. In Germantown this Is not true. The great houses of.Klng George's time arc still the great houses of Woodrow Wilson's time. Their old brown chimney pots are still smok ing, their Rilver knockers still rattling nt the touch of delicate hands; the old clean dainti ness of the past Is still starchy in the point- lace behind those violet windows; nnd yet,' up nnd down by those tranquil doors, charge and scream nnd grind endless processions of motortrucks and saffron trolley cars, nnd when the wind comes up briskly from tho southwurd the tall cliimiie.s of Midvalo lend the tang of their hot breath to the cool Colo nial air. AS la S ONE comes on Main street up Queen nc he is conscious at once of the clash of warring traditions. All about one on each side of the little street stand the quiet door ways of n country town ; tall trees rise every where, half hiding, even in midwinter, the broken lines of yellow chimne.is and tho broad, gray, rough -cast of old walls veined with ivy, Back of the houses are glimpses of long yards with cvcigreens, spikes of juccn sharp nbove the snow and little straw stacks piled up; about precious biennials. The milk mnn drives by with a lively jingle of sleigh -bells, nnd as two neighbors come out to look nt the weather there is hearty talking across the street from doorwny to doorway. Ahead of me looms up the old Wister house knt the end of the lane. On the left looms Trinity Church, with its graceful white wooden spire nnd its calm hedged graveyard where a score of small American flngs flutter over the bodies of old soldiers. Across the street extend the long signs of n brisk garage, and on the boarding beside it the posters of n nearby theatre, with pleasing detail of a fashion show on living models bathing suits, laces, lingerie . . . All this so close to the house of John Watson could not but bring up n smile. "The ladies," says that excellent chroni cler, writing of the Cape May of 1840 "the ladies at appointed hours go into the surf, nt which times gentlemen do not walk on the banks. The ladies wear flannel nnd other woolen .dresses none go out above half their depth." rTlHR shops and picture shows of German- town avenue seem invested with a pecu liar garishness, ns though conscious of the struggle that lies before them. Klsewherc their reign is uneliallenged ; here they seem spurred to the utmost extremity of glitter and flash. At the corner of Cheltcn avenue nnd Main street the present nnd the past seem to have locked arms in their deata grips. It is n tumultuous crossing prodigal of gilt letter ings and resounding with the crash of the traffic and the high calls of the newsboy. But as one pauses there to take stock of it all he conies to realize that much of this pinchbeck of flaming signs will peel off in a little while the permanent things in Ger mantown ore still those fine old houses up and down Main street, and you can bet they know it. A CROSS Cheltcn nvenu'e is one plot of ground where I supposed the past was triumphant the broad, pleasant, tree-grown ncres of Center Square, that rise in a gentle slope to the museum of the Site nnd Relic Society. Three little grammar-school girls were tripping ahead of me up the path, and T followed them into the building. It was a very entertaining place, crammed to the doors with nn immense variety of curious old-fashioned things. The long, gnlieried hall has in itself a charm and beauty that is almost wholly absent from the exhibits it houses. But the place has atmosphere. It seems to mean business. When I went in the caretaker gave me a hasty greeting and pointed to tho register. I set my name down. The three little girls also desired to set their names down, but the pen was brushed from their fingers. "We don't register children here !" cried the old gentleman. At that I began to perceive that a Rite had been performed by my irreverent hands. I regretted that I hud so abominably scrawled my name, for I am afraid that posterity will never find me there. As I walked around the nisles, gazed into the packed cases of relics nnd beard all the while the breathless comments of the little girls from the gram mar school, I began to understand something of the spirit of old Germantown, of its pas sionate and complete devotion to the things of the days gone by, I paused to read nn entertaining old pos ter of Philosophical Kxperiments With explanations adapted to the capacity of all. A nOY will be lifted by KLECTUIO POWER. A SMALL CANNON" will be loaded with WATER and fired off with an ICICLE. - This entertainment will conclude with a beautiful Balloon Ascension with net and car attached. I had hardly turned from this poster to an other one advertising The Great Athletic Troupe: Professor Bootlie with his during feats on tjip Velocipede, the Champion of the World, when suddenly I became conscious of the fact that one of the little grammar school girls was repeating over nnd over again in searching, nwe-struek whispers the name of Henjamin Char. 'Benjamin Chew!" Three smnll heads crowded together over the breath-fogged glass,, while three pairs of small, rosy lips parted in simultaneous ecstnsies, and then, a moment later: "Oh, girls! Com hete, quick! John ll'nrr.'" So they flained on from cne to cuse, with quaint nwed com ment nnd dninty flutters of surprise: "We must put this in our brains to tell the teacher," or "Oh, look! (Iconic Wanhington once stood on that stone!" Not being a nathc of the Twenty-second word, I am prepared to say frankly that' my emotional outburstsj were milder than those of the little girW and Hint some of the ex hibits hardly stirred me nt all. I must con fess, for instance, that Sjiecimen 172, a pair of Glove Nticks used by Murthn Murplc in 18SG to turn the fingers of Huckskin Gloves, left me rather puzzled. I was Ignorant enough never to have heard of that historic glove turning. I wish there had been more about it whose the gloves were nnd why she turned them but suppose if I had been born In Germantown these questions would never puzzle me, for Germantown, us the little girls showed me, is permeated with the aroma of the past, First or lastythe farmers will settle the railroad strike. iHf5iitMttTiiiacrt3Ci5T(y ...-a- .j- .m n or m. w 's-ti'O FROM DAY rpHE farmers of the City and Countrj Clash Issues Arc Plenty Daylight Saving and War Why Boys Leave the Farm Farmers and Labor Unions Short Hours Hit Crops country met together in Washington the other day and resolved that the cities of tho land must cease from luring or they would starve. Above all, they said "Work or starve." For, said they, if it is all work and no piny on the farms and all piny and no work in 4he cities, soon the ouly , eatiug that will be done will be done in the country. "I'll be dinged," says the farmer, if I will work fourteen hours n day to feed peo ple who work only six!" q q q THERE is n country-aguinst-city issue in these United Stntcs, ind it is a sharp one. . , . It showed itself when the fnmier smote the daylight-saving law last fall; smote it so hard that even the President's veto was overridden. The lure of n long evening to play in was one lure too ninny for the cities, thought the farmer. , , "If men in town may quit Avork at what is really 4 o'clock in the afternoon, where will our hired man go, especially if by stay ing with us he has to begiu work nt what is really H o'clock in the morning with this setback clock?" . So the farmer lopped off the city man s long evening for play. And the cities now ore likely to have one time in summer while the country lias another, showing the issue between the two. q q q MILITARY training i,s another Ksue be tween city nnd country. It is not n question of Eust ngainst West or North against South, but of farmer agaiust urban dweller. Anil it is not Hint the farmer is a pacifist and the urban dweller n mild militarist". The fanner is not thinking of principles. Y He is thinking of his hired mnii and his boy. . We sny, "The war was a gre.it education for the boys who survived it. "They saw tho world. "They had their minds opened." The farmer is not so much iigniust war ns war as lie is against the kind of education that opens his boy's mind to how much more fun there is in the city than in the country. War makes the hired-man problem ten times more difficult than it i. So, thinks the fnrmer, will military train ing. And so in Congress he crushed President Wilson again just ns he did on daylight saving. q q q YOU may tell the city dweller that mili tary training would do a lot for the bojs physically. It may bo to him an open question just' how much real difference four months of phjsical training will make in a man's life. But it is not nn open questioi to the fnrmer. The opportunities for physical training are right at homo on n farm, with the hoe, with the ax, with the pitchfork. You may say to-the city dweller thnt four months' physical training would be just n nice vacation for his boy at tho expense of the government. But the farmer hnsn't thevneation habit. The argument does not flpiBOrt to him, es pecially ns the vacation might take the boy where he would fall a victim to the lure of the city nnd not conic back to work the farm q q q ORGANIZED labor in the person of .Mr. Gompers has just announced that it will vote for its friends in Congress. Organized labor is the city. Tlin countrj, in the person of the organ ized farmers meeting In Washington a few days earlier, said that the nation bad gone ns far as it could in coucessions.to labor. It isn't tbut the farmer is a hard-hearted old reactionary.

But as lie sees it men must work in the cities in order -thnt men may work on the farms. You can't buve a, thirty-hour week in the cities nnd n sixty-hour week on the farms. i If you do, the farmer soon won't have any hired man, q q q milE short-hour day is one of the lures of the city. It is nil very well, says the farmer, to say that a man enn do as much work in the fac tories in six hours ns in eight. lie can't on the farms. Better let him work eight hours in fac tories even if in the last two lie accomplishes nothing, for if you make it a six-hour day there will be no one to work the farms and jou will nil starve. q q q A NO NOTHER lure of the city is high wages. he farmer wonts to see every man gain what he can.

Gompers nt every turn. There is compdtition be tween the country nnd the city nnd the two symbolize that competition. The cities bid, and bid effectively, for the joung men of the farms. If Mr. Gompers should liave his way and cut the working week for union labor to forty hours, thnt would be n new, a formi dable bid, which the farmers will fight just as they fought the competition under the dn light saving of the long, idle evening in the city nguinst the long, laborious morning on the farm, and just as they resisted ex posure of the farm boy to the city's lure under military training, q q q THE farmer cannot permit tc happen to him what happened to the city house holder.

Production is our only salvation !" Yet no one knows how to begin. And the farmer says, "If yo'i are not careful you will even cut off production nt its source." Labor, which has been lessening its pro ductivity for years, on the theory that it has been fooled all along by capital and given of the sweat of its brow too freely, is fu a mood for politics, not for production. Wns tills crisis in the world's production brought on by the war or was It merely re vealed by the war?
