OUT of the money paid by the street car riders the sum of SS.CS7,72r.oO was paid last year to private citlzcus trho own the privilege of operating cars. Thcso citizens do not operate any ran. They do not do anything but accept the money paid t them for the use of the franchises which they own. What ever sum was originall invested has been, paid back by car riders many times over. The sum mentioned is taken from the annnal receipts of tho P. R. T. to meet the rentals paid to the underlying com panies. These companies do not own a ainglo car. They got their franchises years ago for nothing and they still own them. One-fourth of every fare paid by every passenger goes to tho private citizens who now own these franchises. It is not fair to the car riders or to the P. R. T. So long as this condition continues tie ownership of the streets will be nested, not in the people of the city, but in the companies to which they were turned over as n free gift. The, most'lnlportant" question before the Mayor's transit committee is how to -.restore to the people the title to the streets which an -unenlightened govern ment made over, years ago, to railroad, corporations In perpetuity. i "COMMUNISM" IN SCHOOLS H. ,,,,,, , ARRY D. -LSCOTT, who asserts that our public school children from thirteen to eighteen aic infected with communistic priuciples nnd that this iradicalism constitutes a new (lun ger, nnd Superintendent Garbor, who Jcalls the whole iden preposterous, are both partly mistaken. 2 Communism, n community of hope, Sdoes exist in our schools, but there is ; nothing new in the sentiment nnd the Imeans of combating it arc pretty well established. j Tho program is o open and un ashamed that it can hardly be called Snsidlous. Karl Marx is not respon sible for it, though he probably Mib jicribcd to it in his vouth Kropotkin, JCdjasalle, Rebel. I.iebknecht, Dehs and JTrotzky very likely pleaded for tho Jiime cause. : The communism of school children is jTJfclnllizcd in a passionate, persistent Jtnd unified desire for longer vacations bd more holidays. Not even Mr. WeH- 5tt or any other champion of 100-per rent Americanism can stomp out this Jonging, although Mr. Garbcr and his Subordinates know a trick or two to Tender it ineffective j HOW DETROIT DOES IT jpvETROIT has just voted lo bond i-' itself for 515.000.000 to begin puilding a street railwar srstem to t'ompcte with the privateh owned svs ' jem which the voters decided pot to buy a few months ago Tho street railways bnie been an Issuo in Detroit politics for a long time. The people rejected the plan to buj the existing lines because the pnce'fiied was too high. They seem now to have decided to build their own lines nnd let the private company get nlong as best It can. Now wc bball see whether a city tan gled up in a mess of private finnchiscs can extricate iteelf. WAY OUT OF CHAOS IN MAKING an nppeal for money to keep tho League of Nations alive, Lloyd George remarked that without tho money the league would die, nnd "If the league should die, God help our children, for no human agency can safe them from calamities to winch those of the late war will appear as the perest trifle." This Is the view of a man who is closer to the European chaos than wc arc, yet it ia a forcible expression of the view of all those Americans who have been demanding Hint the Svuate ratify the peace treaty with the leuguc covenant. Its accuracy will be made increas ingly manifest as tbo months go by. Only those who willfully blind their yes fail to perceive it now.

O. P. for that sort of candidate, and there may he none later on. Michigan is significant. It is think iug in terms that are common through all the WcsV nnd Middle West. And where were the icgulnrs in Michigan? You cannot elect a President without .ie am ol uic interior, wncrc i.owacn and Hnrdins seem to be about ns MD- umr ns .ur miuki' m mi- iuiiui-uai. i for the moment the race for the He- publican nomination has narrowed down to Wood, Hoover nnd Senator I Hi Johnson, nnd none of these gen I tlemcn may be said to meet the sped ' fications which Mr. Penrose laid down I with iron firmness just before- his dc i parturc for Florida. Certainly General Wood does not. General Wood is campaigning frankly as the di'ciplc of Colonel Hoosevclt, who was one of the bitterest enemies xthat the old guardsmen ever had. it is true mat tnc gencrni ana nis enndidney take on different aspects nnd different colors in different latitudes. The AVest is asked to regard him ns n great liberal of the original type. The Hast is being told that he is quite safe for some people Yet he is the heir to a tradition that Mr Penrose frankly loathed. If General Wood is not pre tending. Senator Penrose cannot vote for him without a tremendous change of heart. There remains for the time being Senator Hi Johnson a tragic choice, surely ! The newly, vitalized candidacy of this Johnson is something that Mr. Penrose and like-minded men cannot but view with the sense of a world reeling in sudden chaos. No one expected Sena tor Hi to cut a swath ; at lenst no one in eastern party caucuses did. And, viewed in relation to Senator Johnson, Mr. Hoover is a regular of regulars. In the Penrose philosophy there can be no room for Johnson, who wns dis tressingly irregular in 1012, when lie did more than Roosevelt to split the Republican party wide open. It was Jobnsou who snubbed nughct in Cali fornia in 101G and remained a Pro- ressive wncn even uoionci nooseveit insisted on being something else. Daily, I almost hourly, iu the succeeding in I terval the headlong Cnllfornian has comc less and less regular. In tlio Senate he has been a thorn, a tribuia- tinn, a disquieting noise, n Rig Gloom, He hns been the Isaiah of his nnrtv a ..tern, nloof bnwler-out of the estnh- lished political order, who sat darkly in the outer circles nnd implored the skies to fall on Mr. Penrose. The digestion, the peace of mind, the spiritual equanimity of the Republican leaders in tho Senate have been woe fully impaired by this clamorous in vader. And it is too much to expect Hint Senator Penrose would ote for a ninn who goes wild and breaks into new eruptions ot the very name, of Penrose. There cems to emain for Mr. Pen rose only the choire between noover nnd the Democratic candidate, nnd it will not be strange if the senator feels, when he returns from Florida this week, that he is entering a now world. As a matter of fact he is entering n new world, and it is for that reason that Hoover, who never wrecked the Republican party and never snubbed a presidential candidate and never im plored the heavens to fall on the gen tlemen who compose the old guard, may appear more regular to thoso in au thority as the days go by. even though lie does insist on doing uis own think ing nnd even though he prefers to listen to the voice of his conscience rather than to the voice of party autocrats. In the new world that is presenting itself to Mr. Penrose a great dcai has been said in praise of the principle of self-determination, and if the primaries" in Michigan meant anything they meant that there is an increasing multitude in America disposed to feel that relf determination ought to prevail among voters nnd that the principle is indis pensable in n presidential candidate. If the people thought as tho elder statesmen in the East would havo them thluk, they would send Mr. Penrose nnd a few of his friends to the White House and let it go at that.' But they don't. Tho political lenders in both parties will have to change their views and their tactics. Mr. Johnson was on the ticket with Itoosevelt when Roosevelt swept Penn sjlvanta in 1012. Is Mr. Penrose will ing to contend that nil the Republicans who voted for him were inegulor and that they nie still irregular? Would he prefer to have them go over to some other party? One hesitates to suppose that i-o astute a man as Mr. Penrose has let his times run away from him. Unless he has suffered that calamity he will not eipert voters, even the voters in I'ennsjlvanin. to think now of party regularity and nothing else. Hnbits of thought are actually changing, and tho time is coming when it is men like Mr. Penrose who will be called irregular. Tho elder statesmen may reject Mr. Ifoovcf1 because ho re fuses to surrender his mind or sac rifice his political morality. Rut how far can they get the people to follow them in this day and generation? That question again directs attention to the lesults of the primaries in Mich igan. Johnson end Hoover nttract different types of .ninds, but they are alike in the appeal to liberal and iu - EVENING TOBLIO tclllgcnt sentiment. If tho 'votes cast for thc.se two men were pooled, hardly n trace of tho Wood candidacy would have been npparcnt In the landslide. What Mr. I'cnrosc thinks of General Wood is not clear. But other con servative leaders hose minds usually go along with the Pennsylvania sena tor's have shown that they regard the general as regular enough. Mr. Pen rose may cpre&s a similar conviction. Itrgulars of the type formerly ac cepted without question aro plentiful enough, but they aren't in favor with the masses who vote. And the news from Michigan and elsewhere makes It pluln that n man who is merely regular in the sense implied by Mr. Penrose cannot get within seeing distanco of the White House. Unless there is a vast and sudden change in nationnl sentiment, Mr. Pen rose and his friends ultimately will have to back cither Johnson or Hoover, since Wood's chances grow constantly more uncertalu.

MONSIG LAX. ONSIGXOR GERALD P. COGII- rector of the Church ot Our I.adr of Mercy, at Broad street and Susquehanna avenue, chnt ting the other day, told of ono of the most famous criminal exploits in local police annals. It concerned the Kensington Rank, a prosperous insti tution in tho northeastern part of the eitv. One afternoon an official-looking man in citizen's clothes called at the i bank nnd requested nn immediate audi- i ence with the president, lie wns usn eicd into the private office of the banker, and. without any picliminancs. said: , . "I nm the new lieutenant of this nltiA .1Uf.t.f nnrl T hnve lust lenmed thnjt n famous bank burglar has imdc j all arrangements to orcnu into your pmre tonight and steal your money and securi ties. He is coming with a single con federate, and there is no reason why he cannot be caught lcd-handed. I came to warn you nnd to say that the police expect to he on the job." The m-esident of the bank was naturally startled at this information, imt nlencerl liernml mensure nt the "I hnve nn important engagement n New York this evening," he said, "and expect to leave on the fi o'clock train thi afternoon. What would 3011 sug gest?" "Leave the whole thing in my hnnds. I will come here with two plain clothes men. and if you will instruct your watchman to admit us I can assure you thnt the thing will be enrried off without a hitch." The watchman was bummoned. intro duced to the visitor nnd told that lie was to co-operate with him in every detail. The thing wns carried off "without a hitch." The visitor of the morning, with two other men. wns given .tdiriit tnncc to the bank shortly before mid night. Their first act was to gag and bind tho watchman, nnd after that they leisurely proceeded to break open the safe, nnd to get nwny with securities and money amounting to more than u hundred thousand dollars.

He was deeply mortified, of, course, but the damage had been done. If memory is not nt fault. Jimmy Loguc was the culprit, but the details of the event ore a trifle hazy at this late day.

The time will come when the violent seeking of office with vast ex penditures will defeat its ovvu cuds. i-criinps this is the time. 1 q TDLT, if we don't like to sec the piesi iJ dency sought this wny wo do like to see the new determination with which poets nttempt to tunnel under nnd blow up Mount Parnassus. instead of climbing it, as of old. Tho advertisement of "Hell and "ing," by Frederirk Fanning Aver, invites you to "reud what the English authorities hnve to say of this mountain nest of verse, these siipemnl flights of song." It's no longer "sing heavenly muse." but sing hqavenly "ad," writes tho ge niiis of the "ad" copj desk; his eye, in fine frenzy rolling, lilts upon such words ns "uioiiutuin nest ot verse," "Mipcrnnl (lights of song" nnd a book with the wido mnigins thnt denote poetry competes with the best seller. i q i WHAT hns happened to cause poetry even to be advertised? Perhaps, modestly, one might read, So and So, n narrative poem bv Wank," tho words "narrative poem" vaguely suggesting a piece of fiction. Hut now in big block tjpc and words usunlly reserved for n triumph of Har old Hell Wiight! Who has done this thing? Was It MiiMiicId. with his "Hcjnard the I'ox nnd his "Everlasting Mercy"? Or was it frco verse writers? Hut this latest is n veritable ninden- ourg drive nt lame. i q q milE coming match between Dempscy .. n,"'L Cnrpentlcr promises to he a roeh-Hindenburg affair. DenipFcy is all drive. Carpentier is nil sidestep, with per haps a timely punch when the openin comes. Weight and strength nrc on the side of the American. Intelligence nnd swiftness on the side of the Frenchman. Corbett revolutionized prize-fighting METROPOLITAN TuC3. Evt? APRIL 13, OPERA HOL'Ht; uca. L.vg., ATa' LAST PERFORMANCE r .

Washington, wc ate given to understand, disapproves of France's de termination to invade German terri tory: but we note no particular excite ment over the news elsewhere iu the country.
