The banks and trust com panies are reluctant to tie up n large rjart of their resourcco in real estate mortgages for the reason that such se curities arc not quick assets. Present conditions, however, justify a temporary modification of old finan cial practices. There is money enough here to build all the houses thnt we need. And there are tenants for as many houses as can be erected for a long tlmo to come. Under these cir cumstances building ceases to be specu lative, for there is virtually no risk in It. As soon as the houses are ready for occupancy they will be occupied if the builders will rent them. And ten ants arc so eager to get n house that they will pay any reuonablo rental. If the presidents of, the financial in- stltutions can be persuaded that it is their patriotic duty to come to the relief of the builders an early improvement in conditions is likely. The Autocar Company of Ardmorc Is etting a good example to other em ployers of labor by arranging to build n. large number of houses in that sub urb for the accommodation of its hands. If private employers within the city limits should engage in n similar under taking they would find it profitable and they would not In nny way interfere with the other builders who are seeking to supply the demand for houses. WOOD'S CHANCES LEONARD WOOD will apparently hnve the delegates from South Da kota, where he led nil the other candi dates In tho presidential preference primary. Ills committee is picking up delegates wherever It can find them, and it bus been so successful that It has already secured about 225. On the basis of the representation In the 1010 convention it will need 403 votes to nominate. Gen eral Wood will have to get not quite 275 more dblegates before be is assured of nominution on the first ballot. The friends of the other candidates urc con fident that ho cannot get them. But Judge Hughes did not have a majority on the first ballot in 1016. He entered the convention with 2.VI dele gates pledged to him, and this number voted for him on the first ballot. The candidate with the next highest number of delegates was John W. Weeks, of Massachusetts. Judge Hughes received 828 votes on the second ballot, nud on the third all but thirty-eight of the dele gates voted for him and be was nomi nated. It is likely thnt Genorul Wood will enter (he convention with a larger num ber of delegates than nny other candi date, unless there shall be a sudden de velopment of strength by some one else. But it is by no moans certain that the candidate with the mot delegates at the start will gpt the nomination. Champ Clark had 110 more votes than Governor Wilson on the first ballot in the Demo cratic convention in 1012 anH i,i wit. boji for a long time, but Wilson won. It Innlrq trulnv ua it l. .ii .

HUMPHRYWARD IP IS unlikely that the death of Mrs. Humphry Ward will Inspire a "Ilobert Elsmero" rcvhal. Thnt novel, orico tho talk of the Anglo-Saxon world, has, however, like its author, a distinct place in the social nnd intel lectual history of n vanished epoch. ''Analyst of the late Victorian period will turn to Its pages us mirrors of thousht and reflectors of a "radicalism" which now seems tame. It Is hard to realise the furorr created br that bulky thesis novel of 1888, diffi ralt to recall the eagerness with which attcli successors ns "David Grieve" and "Marcella" were awaited. The efforts ef4 Mrs. Ward to adjust herself to a H ordor of high seasoning in fiction usjjl rash virtuosity in grappling with ' tfc weightiest problems were visible in later performances. But sbo had ' the native talent to fire character Uftitoa with Jifo, although "I.ady if Ham's Ptughter" did attain a certahi vhMajMM In a carefully contrived war. leejs or.-MMmsw Arnold, the .swr.nw, JWKPf. 'Arnold,, first memorable flash, evoked ns a tale teller moro respect than enthusiasm. In English literature she Is a figure of dignity nnd, to be frank, of the sort of sober restraint which passes for dull ness today. Her endowment of tho creative gift was not large, while her sincerity nnd intellectual conservatism forbade flirtation with tho sensational and specious. If her fame Is not large, her notoriety is even less. Nevertheless her appeal In certain loyal circles endured for considerably more than n generation. It was some thing to have published nn anonymous work, which Glndstono was suspected of having written, even though "Robert Elsmerc" mny appear today as a labored nnd perhaps ponderous discus sion of religious problems in which tho general public has lost interest. Wells, Chesterton nnd the other playboys of propnganda fiction have set n new pace In their craft. Mrs. Ward had neither the genius nor tho bold egoism to imi tate their weather-cock methods. A MONKEY WRENCH IN THE NATION'S CLOCK New York's Daylight-Saving Legis lature and the Problem It Cre ated for Philadelphia AFTER next Sunday the clocks, the banks, the theatres, the business or ganizations und the whole general rou tine of exlstcnco in the state of New York will be an hour ahead of the rest of the country. Unlike Congress, the Legislature nt Albany refused to be bossed by the fnrmcrs. It refused to inflict on cities a condition of government which hap pens to be of advautago in agricultural areas exclusively, 'the effort to repeal the daylight-saving law failed. Few people even in New York thought it would fail. The state was .preparing to go along on the conventional time sched ule without tho long day that brightened life for the people in American cities during tho war period. Congress hnd withdrawn the one good thing that the war left in its wake. Most of the states followed me example of Washington. There seemed nothing else to do. But the New York Legisla ture turned in sudden irritation and said that the daylight lnw must stay. The vote was close, but ibe thing is done. The gcnewl result ought to be divert ing and picturesque. The New rk Stock Exchange would have begun its toil nnd thrown down Its tools nn hour earlier than tho stock exchange in this city if the local exchange officials had not hurriedly arranged todny to estab lish a 0 to 2 schedule. Bankers in Manhattan will be nt their labors an hour before bnnks in Philadelphia are opened, for business. They will be n-flivvlng in the green country or star ing into lemonade nt the golf clubs while the brethren elsewhere nre still wearily balancing their books. What the railroads will do it is not easy to say. At the moment most of them nre graying for guidance in their matchless dilemma. The bard, grim and immediate fact is that there may be an hour in the morning and an hour in the afternoon when the banks in I'hiladelpnia and in New York as well as business houses will be unable to communicate or transact business. The wires, the railways and the mail tybtcm knit all sections of the country into n closely co-ordlnnted whole, and a dislocation in one quarter is sure to bo felt disastrously In every part of the sensitive fubric. It is needless to say hat the daylight-saving law was a wise and benefi cent thing and that it should have been retniued by act of Congress. But since Congress preferred to do the wrong thing there was little that states or com munities could do for themselves. And it remains to be seen whether New York acted wisely in bucking the traffic. If quick readjustments aren't made in the working schedule of this and other cities, life here and elsewhere will be a difficult and confusing business before we arc many weeks older. Tho farmers of th country, when they were fighting the daylight-saving law in Congress, offered some vulid objections that nre not always clearly understood l by those who know nothing of the tech nique of farming. They bad to consider perishable crops and tho disasters that I may attend so gentle a thing ns dew if it is permitted to huv its way with I newly hurvestPd and unsheltered grain. Animals will not change the.r habits in ! obedience to an act of Congress nor will the processes of nature cnange ut the suggestion of the Senate. The farmers could never understand why pfople in the cities shouldn't arrange their working days to suit them selves and save their daylight without changing the laws of the land. This question was often flung out angrily on the floor of the Ilnuso. It has recently been unsworn! in I'hil delphis. The people needed the word of Con gress to advance working hoars, be cause people like to drift and almost invariably drift when there is no word of authority to guide them. There I no earthly reason why the business day in American communities should not be between 8 o'clock and 4 instead of between 0 o fk and fi. But that reform would necessitate concerted action by forces at present unorganized iu the business world. It was suggested when the daylight law was rppealed by Congress that this simple expedient be ndopted to restore the luag bummer days in cities. Everybody admitted that the hugges tion was a good one ami then ceased to think about it. Now, however, if the whc.c system of commercial and financial intercourse between cities in Pennsylvania nnd New York Is not to be upset and confused, some one will have to find u way to meet the peculiar situation created at Albany. Siucc the banks ami the stock ex change and the big inductrial establish ments are Immediately ooiicv. ed, they ought to take the lead as propagandists for a rational system of daylight-saving, that would enable t u to operato on a schedule similar to the one 'orced upon New York. It would only be necessary to clip an hour from the nfternoon and add it to tho morning. A general meeting of business men and bankers to act In co-operation with tho Mayor and tho Chamber of Com merce ought to bo called at once In support of this plan. Little more would be necessary. Where big business leads, little business will 'follow. Some changes In railway schedules would b necessary. They Blight easily be .made. without any ylo ltttloo, oJjfce Uot congressional (lmc. the Walnut Street Association, sug gested not long ago thnt tho aid of the National Chamber of Commerce be en listed In the effort to mako such a scheme of daylight-saving permanent in all cities for the summer period. Tho Philadelphia chamber was asked to start tho movemont. The wisdom of the sug gestion is now apparent. Tho fnrmcrs, when they arctted in all sincerity ngalnst the doyllght law, either misunderstood the fundamental isnie, as It appears in the cities, or preferred to ignoro it. It Is not only nn extra hour of day light thnt Is in question. It is tho health nnd the well-being nnd the gen eral contentment of those who do the nntion's work In mills, offices and fac tories. Thcro wns little general com plaint when the daylight law was re pealed. That will come later, when the warm weather arrives and the people find themselves deprived of opportuni ties that meant much to them during the last few summers. Nobody lost anything by tv dnylight snving system and everybody gained. Nothing but nn orgnnlzcd effort Is needed to restore the hour of nfternoon leisure that used to seem ns If It hnd been added to the twenty-four by n miracle of some sort to lengthen life nnd make trying labor easier to perform. The Legislature in New York will have done the country n service If It stimulates business and financial inter ests to tho sort of action which would give the people all the benefits of the daylight law nnd still leave the fnrmcrs with no ground for complaint. Because of the close relationship between tho commerce of New York nnd thnt of this city, Philadelphia ought to be first in the movement for n ratiouol summer schedule of business hours. JUSTICE FOR THE POOR DIRECTOR TUSTIN'S announce ment that a legal aid bureau will be established iu the Department of Pub lic Welfare .early in the summer is formal nnd oflieial recognition of the importance of such work ns has hith erto been done by private philanthropic agencies. It is not easy for the poor man, un familiar with legal processes, to get justice when be is brought up against wily and unscrupulous men. This has not been due to the failure of the courts to administer justice. When a case is properly before the courts jus tice is done so far us it is humanly nossible. But the noor -man nnd the mnn of foreign birth with only n slight knowledge of English nnd with no un derstanding of American Institutions have been the prey of swindlers nud uncrupulous pettifogging lawyers. They have submitted to Injustice because they have not known how to resist. The privately maintained legal aid societies in Philadelphia nnd in many other large cities have done some thing to relieve the situation, but they have been unable to cover tho ground. The purpose of the new bureau will be to provide without charge prelimi nary legal advice to men and women who feel themselves unjustly dealt with. These persons will be told what tlieir rights are. If necessary a law yer will be provided to assist them, or they will be recommended to a lawyer who will take their case and prosecute it for n reasonable fee. Detniled plans for the operation of the bureau hnve not been worked out, but It is likely thnt a lawjer representing it will be stationed in all the minor courts prepared to asist all of the unfortunate who find themselves bewildered by the predicament into which they have fallen. And we buppose the minbr magistrates will co-operate with these lawyers anil do their best to prevent the litigants from bciug-bled by the un scrupulous men who fatten on the mis fortunes of the poor.

Types of Democracy Vary With the Years and Lloyd George Has Chosen tils Own Brand When I was a young girl, remarks a character In a recent book, democ racy meant tho Liberal majority, nnd was chiefly mentioned In the IIouBe of Lords. Then the Labor party dis covered tho word nnd It came to mean the poor. Now It stands for any thing which nny speaker likes nnd agrees with. If wo had .como in, we should have been triumphant democ racy J as it is we are effete aristocrats whom tho democrats of Carlton House Terrace and Ecclcston Square aro golbg to slay. TT 18 one of this kind of democracy that Mr. Lloyd George represents in his new National Democratic party, which Is not democratic enough for Lord Robert Cecil nnd his brother, the Mar quis of Salisbury, two members of the Cecil family, one of the oldest nnd most persistently ruling class families in England. i q LLOYD GEORGE hns gone conserva tive, ns all liberal leaders do In the end; as Wilson did at Paris nnd since his return from Paris; as Roosevelt did during the war j as CIcmcnceau did after being n radical most of his life ; as Briand, the real master of France now, did, after starting out in life a Social ist; ns Lenine nnd Trotzky will If the world will only give them n chance; Indeed, recent observers In Russia say tlicy hnve already begun td do so. Lloyd George has more of the dema gogue's arts than nny or these, except perhaps the Russians, nbout whom no one knows enough; to mnke comparisons'. It will be interesting to sec how he makes out as the head of what is left of the old Tory party in England. He nppears to have been more or less forced to lead the dukes, by slang -whauglng whom a few years ago be first became famous. He .maneuvered to create a middle party out of the more liberal Unionists, what was left of the Liberals nnd the more moderate Labor men. But Labor held together, Lord Rob ert Cecil would not follow tlm and Mr. Asquith came back. So Lloyd George had .10 real choice hut to lead the Unionists and the more conservative Liberals who were drifting toward Unionism. However, It remains to be seen whether or not the nntl-bolshevlsm issue will not prove ns effectivj f-r him ns it has for various people in this country.- q q q ONE democratic movement in England which has met with a severe check is that for giving Parliament authority over foreign relations. During the wnr there . s a strong sentiment for this ns a means of pre venting secret treaties and the European entanglements which led to the war. But what has happened to the treaty in our Senate gives Englaud pause. A country whose foreign relations are important cannot conduct its business that way. English comment on our failure is, democratic control of treaty making is desirable, but It must be practicable. The American constitution's require ment of u two-thirds majority is not practicable. AVhat has happen " - the Senate looks like a party quarrel i topping pub lic business. It is the nbsurd necessity of obtaining n two-thirds majority of the Senate to approve n treaty that stopped public business. q q THE same thing has happened when the President and the Senate have been of one nnd the same party, even of the highly efficient Hepiibl.cnn partv. Read "The Education of Henry Adams" and you will find what John Hay thought of the two-thirds rule in the constitution. Hny was a Republican, one of the greatest secretaries of stnte the country I has ever had. rnjojing enormous pres- tige. on Intimate .elation with Henry Cabot Lodge and other Republican mem- hers of the Senate, yet he could not get i his treaties through, and In the end the Sennte broke his heart, q a q rpHK provision requiring a two-thirds I majority In order to ratify is not a democratic provision. It places control of foreign relations in the hands of a minority. The fathers of the constitution nut it in for tiic same reason that Washington uttered his warning against entangling nlliances. We were n weak, young country, nnd might become the tail to .orue European kite. Moreover, the fathers of tl.o consti tution were only experimenting w'th democracy. They did not know whether it would work or not. Many of them felt Mire it would not work. So they ndopted an elaborate system of checks to prevent the country from losing its head and acting on sudden impulses. The inoit drastic check of all was the two-thirds majority requirement-regard ing foreign relations. The result of it has been n break down in our government. On the one hide has been the Presi dent nnd on the other a handful of sena tors iretenting action. The constitution ought to be amended. q q q FRANK A. VANDERLIP is not a Bolshevik. He belongs to the most conservative class and the mo-t conservative political party in the world. lie is a banker and n Republican. He sold the other day in New York that the makers of the treaty of Ver sailles hnd cut up Europe into an "economic picture puzzle," whose pnrts nn one could fit together. Germany hah 70.000.000 or more of the most highly trained industrial popu lation In the world cut off from the natural resources which furnished work for their hands to do. Russia has the largest supply (f natural resources in Europe, without the skill to develop them. Both were left by the peace "with out benefit of clergy." Russia lion successfully defied the Allies for n year. Germany is preparing to profit by her example. Hoover is admittedly no orator but isn't that uti asset?

Virginia know Just what they think about said Vir ginia. But let me tell you this true tale which came to my ears of late. It's a wonder. There was n house party down In one of the old Virginia houses and there being more guests thnn the rooms would ordinarily hold. It wns proposed to give the women of the party the second floor and the men were to sleep any where dawn stairs. Well, Sunday morning the men de cided to take n conveyance to one of the clubs and one called up to his wifo " . dear, won't you bring me my suit case to the top of the stairs, we want to catch the bus." "Sorry, dear," came thcunswer, "but I'm dressing for church." Then he called to his sister-in-law, "That's n good girl; won't you get my suit case and hand it to me, you know rl can't come up." And a voice an swered "Deed I can t, I in nbout to dress for church." Finally our hero got u bit out of pa tience nnd said "Coin' to church nre you, nice" Christians you ure, won't help me to catch mv bus."
