Oougers have been gouging and spec ulators have been maneuvering to squeeze tha last possible cent out of unfortunate tenants, but none of them is being permitted to work in peace or with a sense of security. A mayor s committee has harassed the profiteers and hearings were arranged in the state Legislature for a plan advanced to limit speculative transfers of real estate and keep profits within decent bounds. The sharks are being identified, ex posed and tagged, though it is as dilli cult in New York as it is Jiere to curb them by any law now in existence. Meanwhile, us you may have ob served, all is quiet nt City Hall and in Harrisburg. WILLFUL WASTE ANA rv be ADMINISTRATION can usually counted upon to find excuses for extravagance.

ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF ANTHRACITE The Fuel Problems of the Present and Those of the Past and tho Future FOLLOWING the recommendation of the coal commission of an average lnerrap of i!7 per cent in the pay of bituminous coal miners, the President has ordered that government control over the maximum price of coal cease on April 1. 'ITic effect of this order is to open the way for the mine operators to pass on to the consumer the increased cost in niining coal incidental to the increase In the pay. of the miners. It Is evident that Mr. Wilson does not believe that the operators have been making exorbitant profits running ns high as 'J00O per cent, as asserted by Mr. McAdoo some time ago. If he had agreed with Mr. McAdoo, hu would have insisted thnt the operators pay the in crease in wages out of their profits. The coal commission did not discover any such margin of profits as Mr. Mc Adoo professed to find. The talk in the wiuter about the operators agreeing not to pass on to tho public any increase in wages was interesting, but no one with any knowl edge of business methods expected any thing to come of it. If the President's order is inclusive I enough to deprive the fuel administrator of his power to divert coal from the in dustries which have ordered it to indus , tries which he thinks are in greater need of it, the normal processes of distribu tion will be restored and the business men with foresight will be. allowed tj profit by their wisdom, while the busi ness man who has been trusting to luck will not be nblo to summon the govern ment to his relief. The fuel problem today is tied up with the mining nnd distribution of coal. What will be its state in another hun- 1 dred .wars no man enn foretell. It may be that we shall bo troubled with the I production and distribution of elec tricity, or we may have discovered a I way to get heat from the sun and shall i ! be troubled over means to store sun- I I power from cloudless days to last through n week of rain. Or some ex- . pert physicist may discover how to gather the heat generated by the passage of sound waves through the ntmosphere so that a railroad train may be op- I erated by the power derive?, from the noise that it makes while passing over j the rails. Every physicist knows that i heat is generated in this way. just as a , hundred years ago very physicist knew that there was such a force as elec tricity. But until the latter quarter of the last century an electric motor was nothing but a laboratory toy. It now I draws heavily lnden trains over tho Kocky Mountains and is used instead of a steam locomotive for drnwing traius through tunnels into the great cities. The steam engine was in its infanc a hundred years ago and its use wa limited because of the lack of suitable fuel. Wood was burned in houses and factories. Wood was used for smelting ores. No steamship could be built big enough to carry sufficient fuel to enable it to make a trip across the ocean. Modern transportation dates from the beginning of the use of coal. 1t ,. n .. fhl.

Some of them doubted the evidence of their senses when they saw the black stones burning. They were office buildings. And there was shipped from the anthrncite mines of the state nearlv "0,000,000 tons of coal, for mining which more than S'.'OO.OOO.OOO was puid to the mine workers. William Penn had no (inception of the wealth in the black rock, outcrop pings of which appeared in various places in his great domain. Nor could he have imagined the effpet which the utilization of this stone would have on the progress of the world. He burned wood. He traveled on land in n stngc conch and on sou in a suiliiig shin. The people of the twentieth century travel on land in gasollne-clriven automouiles or steam or electrically driven locomo tives, and on the sea in hteamships and in the air in airplanes We talk across the continent and send messages ncross the ocean with such expedition that Paris is nearer Philadelphia in time thuu Greenwich was to London in the eighteenth century. The next twenty -five years is likely to cc greater adxauces in tny:hanical in vention than the last fifty, for it has been iliM-overed that the chemist and the plnsicist have uses beyond telling the student something about the con stitution of matter and the laws that govern it. The modern man of science is applying his kuow ledge to the dis covery of the methods of applying the hitherto unused forces to the service of humanity. The ;i03 tons of unthracite shipped to Philadelphia in 1820 is merely sugges tive of the possibilities of the future, I when anthracite may be as unprofitable a furl as wood has become today. MR. FRANCE: LIBERAL SENATOR FRANCE has been long In politics long enough, indeed, to know a political fact when he meets it in public. His course hitherto has been such as would suggest better balance and a better understanding of his times than Is revealed in his sudden, startling cry for secession from the Republican .party In the name of "liberalism." 'Liberalism," us a term lu conven- tloual-politicf, is susceptible of a thou EVENING- PUBLIC' cannot agree with the rest of mankind calls himself n liberal and is happy. Wilt the true significance of the word has been understood before now In the party to which the Maryland senator belongs. Ilooscvelt was n liberal In the best sense of tho word. Senator Johnson Is a liberal. So is Hoover. These men didn't experience conversion overnight. They were thinking In progressive terms while Senator France was still run ning comfortnbly with the crowd. If Mr. Fraqce hopes to make himself felt as n reformer and as an exponent of genulno democracy in government, he ought to put aside visions of the guer rilla band which ho talks of leading in the name of righteousness and modern thoiurit, states' rights and all the rest of i Such, adventures are always futile. HARVARD'S EXAMPLE HAItVAItD UMVEUSITY has just set an example which is likely to offect the salary schedule In eery other American university. Encouraged by the success of the campaign for ?l-.-000,000 additional endowment, the gov erniug boards of the tintu-rsity have fixed the minimum salary of a full pro fessor nt $0000 and the maximum at $S0()0. This is said to be equaled only in Columbia University. The associate professors are to receive a minimum of $3000 for live years and $3300 there after, and assistant professors will start ut ?;i."(X) and in six years will receive $-1500. Then if they are retained they will become associate professors at an immediate increase of $300 a year. The pay for the teachers under the rank of full professor Is several hundred dollars higher than the Columbia schedule. The effect of the new schedule w ill be to give to Harvard the pick of Un skilled men in the country, just ns the effect of a minimum wage - to $'! higher than tho amount paid in other department stores gave to a Iloslon men-limit the pick of the young women in the other stores nnd resulted in the weeding out of tiu incompetents. I'uless the University of Peuuh.vlvania Is to suffer It must do something to meet tie Harvard schedule. It has within re cent years lost a number of good men who went to Columbia becuusc It did not have tho money to keep them. It will lose more of them unless its financial resources are enlarged immediately. TRUCE IN WASHINGTON COLBY is secretary of state. There was no reason why he should not have been made secretary of state five weeks ago. There may be some question about Mr. Colby's talents, but thl-re is none about his integrity. Thousands of Americans have been inconvenienced by the vacancy in the State Department. But the Senate, victorious now and breathing hard, had the satisfaction that comes to it when it tints some uew difficulty lu Mr. Wilson's path. The high cost of n political feud lu a presidential year can make the high cost of living seem like u very small thing indeed ! MORCENTHAU AND MEXICO HENRY W. MORCENTHAU has au excellent record us a diplomatist and n public servant. His handling of u difficult situation nt Constantinople just before our entrance into the wur was resourceful and sincere. There is no evidence, however, thnt he is better fitted for his new post of ambassador to Mexico than was his predecessor. Henry P. Fletcher was thoroughly versed in Mexican affairs. He differed with an administration which had no policy rcgardiug our un easy southern neighbor. The chances that Mr. Morganthau will accomplish anything constructive are slim. Any attempt by him to bring rtrder out of chaos would be downright iconoclastic, sure of earning veto by the White House. SWAT THE SKEETERS IN SPRIGHTLY spring prepare for sultry summer. This is the senti ment of Herman Hornig, the city's en tomologist, who announces thnt hatch ing conditions of mosquito eggs are this year exceptionally favorable for their occupants. As n result of heavy rains last fall, the pest eggs which were deposited in South Philadelphia swamps are non left on dry ground nnd will thrive of fensively when the season warms up. The city is already draining the land below Oregon avenue and will oil the ditches nnd sewer inlets. Co-nperatlon hv householders is rightly urged. Stagnnnt water, no mat ter how small the quantity. Is a mos quito breeder. If the public is prompt to prevent such accumulation some mil lions of anopheles xv ill be disappointed nnd their dog-davs campaign will be thrown into confusion before even a start is made. Mosquito warfare is now reduced to simple, prnctical terms, A watchful and energetic public can aid materially In terminating the reproach thnt Phila delphia lags fur behind Havana in hy gienic safeguards. Railroad workers recently de manded ndditlonnl put amounting to $1,100,000,000. If t!ie get it the amount will be added to the freight rates, which will be added to the price of commodities, whiili will necessitate nuother increase in pin And by and by it will be forced upon us that we had better revise our currencv. mnking ten dollars the unit and abolishing nickels. Not. of course, that it will make any difference. Nothing ever does. Deepsea longshoremen in NVw York are striking for more pay and shorter hours. Deepsea shipmen arc. therefore, short of longshoremen nnd longshoremen ashore will see themselves grow short If the strike lasts long enough. And that's the long and short of It. The reduction in the number of deaths from typhoid fever in this city Is gratifying, but there is still no rea son why we should lag behind Chicago, New York. Iloston nnd Cleelund. With a reassessment bill, n bridge bill, a school code and u suffrage amend ment ull demanding instant attention, legislators nt Dover are in severe straits. So wags the world.

I shouldn't much enre what college. 1 wunt the Pjensurc, once in my life, of unylug No.' " "And why?" for this wns what the cynic wns waiting for. "I should decline, sir, with the stated reason thnt I dnrc not risk tho con sequent moral deterioration." Now, this is n libel on the college president, refuted In Innumerable hon orable examples best of all by tho honored heads of the two great univer sities. Cornell uud Penusvlvnnln, both of whom hnve recently declared their determination to retire nfter years of unselfish nnd useful activity. But the cynic's remark senses a real danger In the small, the Insufficient man, dressed lu u little brief authority, the man who acquires honor by his post iustend of bestowing honor In fillltig it. THE Gownsman can cay, wltjt his hand on his heart, that he has no candldntc for cither the presidency of Cornell or the provostship of Penn sylvania. Wherefore, he jnny express himself the more freely nnd take his leaders into his confidence. Possibly we may proceed together in this search for the hypothetical best by way of ex clusion. And. first of nil, your Gownsmnn would exclude the business man. There ure enough of him ordlnnrlly in any board of trustees adequately to transact that Important but subsidiary part of the university's affairs, the handling of its finances: nnd such services, even if fully performed, are no more thnn n quid pro quo for the honor of such an association. When one is once n mil lionaire, it is n great advantage not to be an indistinguishable millionaire. As a university is nil educatiounl institution, not a financial one. ithc expert wanted in this instance Is nn educational expert, not u financial ex pert. This last is readily procurable In the markets of the world for jibe commodity which he handles. A college president is not n money proposition : for in him is needed, besides specific training, more than money can procure devotion, the souse of service, a high loyalty, vision, idealism and the other qualities of disinterested leadership. WITH the utmost respect to bench nnd in linr. vnur Gownsman, in this hypothetical search aftej- the ideal col 1 lege president, would, secondly, exclude I this learned profession. He entertnins in notion, already broached in these col umns, thnt many of our difficulties, po litical nnd social, are referable to the enormous preponderance of the legal type of mind in our affairs of state. The legal mind is trained to precc- dent ami represents in the common i wealth the force of gravity. The sci entific type of mind is eeqiiisitivc and i hospitable to new Ideas and represents the force of progress among us. There are virtues and limitations in each ; but the first, acting alone, would keep us etemallv exactly where we are. and as this will happen to our bodies nt the least nfter death, why not keep moving I while we live nnd n little more speedily than from precedent to precedent? I In these days of growth and onward movement a university does not want to bo maintained lu the traditions of the I past or even kept contented with today; j it needs leadership for tomorrow, u.i openness of spirit thnt will seek out the best, courage to make precedents. not contentment to lag In indistinguisli- able respectability with the pnst. AND again, it hns proved more thnn once a dangerous experiment to en trust a great university, with its varied organism, to any man who is narrow in his technical or scientific training. uuless he has continued, as so eminent ly hns been the case in Provost Smith, of Pennsylvania, to have preserved the larger reaches of his outlook on tne world with all his eminence in 'his own subject. There is either the danger besetti.ig the technician who feels the pulses of the world in the pulses of his particular machine, or there is that strange aloof ness nnd misunderstanding of the actual relations of things which makes Frank lin's "Society for the Promotion of Useful Knowledge" look askant upo.i historians and investigators into litera ture ns practitioners in a something in ferior. Nor will your Gownsmnn be so unfair us to denv that nnrrowness of spirit may be found among such as should be most liberal: for, however dis avowed, there is a sustaining sense of superiority In the Nntionnl Academy and Institute of Arts nnd LetterR, how soever modestly we pit our 200 mortals against the forty immortals of France. TO LEAVE negation, it would seem to the Gownsmnn thnt the head of a great university should lie a scholar, a Immar.ist, an educator in n broad sense of that word, not in the narrow sense of one who tells others how to do n numbr of little things in seveinl of which hp has notably failed himself. The leader of an hono'-able institu tion of learning should be n man of such note, if not celebrity, that he con fers an honor on the college or uni versltv which he consents to bend ; he should emphatically not be one who. whatever his nmiahlliM. his wealth or his success in something wholly alien to education, is raised out of obscurity to a post wliich he has to be educated to fill. A wag once 'aid that the difficulties attending any attempt to educate any body began with undergraduates, where the going wns already hard; that the said difficulties increased into the com parative with the alumni, where the go ing was harder: that they wnfe hard est with trustees; but that with col lege presidents there wns no going at all. History does not disclose the basis of these observations. IT MAY be that the specific needs or may we sny, inadequacies of a given board of trustees, in New York or else, where may demand thot the scholarly guidance of one or other of these great universities be sot aside for the getting of money. And it mav be that in some other case similar impiyntivo needs may demand a similar sacrifice under duress to those legal qualifications which can -opo best with our legally minded legis lators. Rut this will not alter the esjpntlnl truth that a scholar, skilled in the prob lems nnd difficulties ot education, is the only really fit head for u grent institu tion of learning. And we shall remain in the ynrd. shunting from track to track, not ptoceedlng on our journev until the dny when we shall resume traffic under such n choice.

Across the Dutch border he can almost see the throne thnt once was his, and from which he hoped to rule the world. Nevertheless it is as much out of his rench lis if bo were like his piototjpc in St. Helena. Whisp-jrs come to him from Ger many. He doubtless knows the secret plans of every opern-boufTe Pau-Geiiiinn revolutionist. As n monarch he dies a thousand deaths when plots fail and hopes dis nppoint. Suspense is the nrt of fiction, drninn and torture. TV savnges knew this, They never killed a man forthwith when they wanted him to suffer. Tliev would cut off an ear. And about the time ho had begun to think thnt this wns all the harm they meant to do him, they would appropri ate bis nosp for some injstb- rite which they would pcrfoun effectively under his eye's. And when he built hopes on their further inaction they would pull out n toe nnil or two, as an offering to some god or other. After hopes departed and the gradual loss of members made him finally in different to what they did with the rest of him, they would tl row him Into the fire, always taking pains that he would still be quite conscious and able to up pieciate their final disposition of him. i q q THE kaiser's suspense is really im aginary.
