STREET-SIGN REFORM PHILADELPHIA is one of tlme eitirs planned with n xlmpllrlty tlm to a stranger is nlmost eonfnsduR. Uldgo avenue, the city's Sam llrowne belt, as it lias boon called, is eonsuk'iimi in Us nonconformity. A solid foundation f native instinct x necessary to infallible accuracy in identifying nil the checker Imurd tlioroiiglifnrcs without guide labels. The old sjstem of blue and white street signs on the buililiiii: walls wits considered excellent. It originated in I'aris, presumably a worthy municipal model. I The new arrangement, however, in stallation of which has begun nu Wal nut street, is u decided improvement. The lettering is to be larger and more legible and the frames attached to elec tric lamp-poles, substantial enough to prevent the signs from falling down, as was so often the case wheu th(v were tacked in the corner walls. It is to be hoped that eventually the whole city will be equipped with new devices. They are probably the best of those in use iu other large cities. One would be inclined to give the palm to Duluth, wiiere the street names are i-et in tiles on the corner pavements. were it not that blizzards are apt to make identification somewhat dillicult. A TARIFF TURNOVER IN UEKI'KING to nccep; ti place on the Tariff Commission to which he was appointed the other day by Presi dent Wilson. Theodore K. ICiirlnn mm- have beeu moved by logical antipathy to a Democratic administration or per- . haps by a disinclination to re-enter public life. Whatever Ills reasons, protectionists are losing the services of a good friend who is a recognized authority in im post legislation. The ex-senator from Ohio is a master of the complexities of the tariff question. He is a protec tionist not merely from partisanship, hut because of scientifically evolved convictions. That lie wns named bytlie President to fill a post recently vacated by the erudite free trader. Prof. F. W. Tails- sig. is significant. Has Mr. Wilson ' hanged his mind about the tariff as he lias concerning so many subject's since he entered office? In any event, the old -line Jefferson -inn Democrats, if auy such there be. will be spared the workings of a keen mind on the tariff, even though they nre still puiued by the President's bummous to a wise man.

Gossips in Washington are talking of a Knox nnd Jolmsou ticket, indeterred by its incongruity. Johnson is a radical. He bolted the artj in 1012 and said tunny hard things iiiiout the Old Guard Knox Is ono ot the Old Guard, proud tf the distinction. Hut both Knox nnd Johnson nre op posed to the treaty and to the League r( Nations. Jobnsou attacked the phm outright. Kuor attacked it by resolu tions making a separate peace with Germany, anil formulated what had for fweuty-four hours tho distinction of icinjr known ns the Knox doctrine, which Senator Penrose remarked In an unguarded moment was likely to be as sjlntlngulfhcil as tho AJanroc Doctrine. Now if the progressives and stand -tiattera can be united on one ticket. rh , politicians will sec elements of strencth in It, ! BuUa shrewder political move wjtilil be to cet a ticket Vtch -would tlso appeal to the friends arid enemies of the League. o( Nations Hoover and Lodgc( for example, linking the two coasts 'of the continent as well as two antago nlstlc ideas. And would not the well known Iodge intimacy with Roosevelt make the Massachusetts senator as available as Johnson to pull the pro gressive vote? This suggestion is made 'or what it Is worth, in order t it there may be an alternative to the Knox-Johnson ticket to be considered by the gossips before the convention begins the serious work of knocking ell ;ircconvcntion slates into a cocked hat and making the best ticket ilch the combined flsdotu of the delegates can produce. AMERICAN CHURCHMEN AND THE MOST ANCIENT QUEST Through All Stress and All Darkness Humanity Continues to Seek the Ideal of Brotherhood ALMOST since the first dawn of rea son, men of knowledge have been burning themselves out in the effort to establish as a reality the brotherhood of peoples and to demonstrate the fun damental sameness of nil human aims iwd hopes. William lllake. Walt Whitman and even Nietzsche were among the moderns who served a religious Ideal In irreli gious wnys. They reinterpreted proph ecies thnt are as old as the- world. "All men," say the earliest of philoso phers, "are brothers!" Lao Tze held that conviction to be the beginning of knowledge. And Lao Tze was a Chin ese who, almost .'.000 years ago, died insisting that nil the evil iu the world, I all the paiu and all the violence, was ' due either. to ignorance or to accidental circumstances which the mind of man should ami would control. Young Mr. lloekefeller and hi asso- eintes iu the great new movement In i behalf of organized Christianity are, I therefore, uot moving in a way that is I new. The path into which they have I ventured is worn deep by the feet of passionate believers whose words arc still the most enduring part of all written literature. i Princes and vricsts these men were: I philosophers and beggars. Ttrabmin and I Christian. Jew and Gentile, old and young. In grandeur or on their knees the. went, moved by the marvelous hopj of t lie peace of universal understanding. They pass through history like a dim prniession out of the twilight of the world. Wars and martyrdoms have i been us nothing to them. They have seemed to know. They have gone pa tiently even when they were aware that life was far too short to carry them to the end of the quest. And nil that these ' pilgrims dimly felt had culminating and perfect expression in the Man of Naza reth and corroboration in a life that, wheu it went nut, lit the world with a permanent light. It was in the East thousands of years ago that a king first wept at the sight ' of people he had couuuered and knew I that victory can be. and almost always ' r. iu niu 1, p., 11 u hiiiui.- -ii-Hi. To the scholars of India and China even now the war just ended does not seem like a conflict between natural ' enemies. To them it is "the pitiful and., !.Cr,i"':, ,T" "',?., .''"" ?y will not be convinced that different peo pies, taken as a whole, have different needs or. n.t heart, different desires. To this day they depend greatly upon culture in the East and regard it as an indispensable attribute of eminence. And culture of this ancient sort is to be achieved with difficulty. It is a train ing of the spirit by which a man may be turned away from reliance on ma terial tilings. "There is no pence amid great possessions." suy tl.e Hindus, "and uo joyousuess." Peace and hap piness can ;ome. we niv told, onlv through the contemplation or peace and happiness in other' It is Lao Tze who provides the most eloquent characterization of the super man of an aucieut ideal. "Jn action," said the sage to pupils sitting under a plum tree, "he is without anxiety. He forgives all errors but his own. Com passion resides iu him. "For himself he desires nothing. Ho does not know right and wrong. He knows only knowledge nnd ignorance. Within the Four Sens do others pros per, that is his happiness. Are others happy, that is his repose. Men cling ,0 hint like children who have lost their mothers, nnd people rally nbout him like wayfarers who have missed their road !"

The sages whose voices still come out of the graves of the centuries could not convince the world, they could not even convince tneir own peoples, that "hu miinity hath many miuds nnd but one heart."

"All men nre brothers nnd the long ing of their hearts is for brotherhood." The human ipiest for proof of this has been forgotten for centuries at a time. Wars and cntaclysms interrupt the or dained pilgrimage. Hut it is always resumed. Men struggle up from tbc wreckage that they have made and try again. The journey will not he easy this time for those who, in the name of Christianity or otherwise, resume the ancient search. It is almost appalling to realize after the last few years that those who have known most about hu manity insisted that the unity and har mony of all life should be the ends of civilization and thut nny code which has not that objective represents a treml backward to disaster. I'nity nnd the peace of understand ing arc pussinnnte uesires of unnura- bered multitudes. Whcreyer leaders of men are free and wise they have a sinillnrynini lint who is brave enough m&is&a- .pu'jiue! now to say that humanity "hatli but one heart"? Abysses and chasms have been de liberately created between nations, and even the nations themselves arc divided by fresh and unjustifiable hatreds. Five unthinkable years have left walls and tcrriblo barriers to keep mankind di vided. Enormous energies and vnst re sources are behind the present great church movemeut In America. If the method appears Intensely practical, It ought to he remembered thnt it Is de vised for an Intensely practical time. If It Is possible to express through hos pitals, through schools, by a multitude of general works, the charity and for bearance and compassion without which the world cannot move, n very great work will be done. Hut If there is not behind the new church movement nnd dominating it a spirit tempered by simple nnd sincere beliefs, by the knowl edge that "all men nre brothers and carry in their hearts the same desire," that "there is no joy In possessions alone." the expected revival of faith and courage will not be accomplished. To clear away the debris and tho wreckage thnt the war has left In men's minds, to dissipate tho darkness that was created for their eyes, Is In Itself a stupendous task. The desire for light, the wish to see, harass mankind like a troubling pain. We have been deafened with lies about all sorts of things, and particularly with lies about other peo ple. If understanding is lieccssary to peace, then wo are far from peace. Truth is a light that the world needs now. All manner of men without ex ception need to be made nwarc that all humanity is croping arninst terrific obstacles toward a common end. Can the church spread that news? It can if all Its lenders, creat and small, will remember thnt one who wishes to con vince others must be himself convinced.

The trouble with all of them is that they do tint solve. Now ami then an .opinion from an expert is voiced. J. 8. Crutchllcld. vice food adminis trator for Pennsylvania during the war, has decided views upon the subject. "The American people should wnke up to the fact that legislation Is not going to solve the problem of high prices," says Mr. Crutehficld. "It was possible to do so during the war, but even then It would have been im possible ihnd we not had behind us the patriotic spirit, and the wllllugness to sncrllice, of the American people." "There nre just three ways to bring prices down to a normal level f Increased production, elimination of waste, nnd greater discrimination In the purchase and use of food. "The American people have been ac customed to getting whnt they want nnd when they want it hi the way of food, regardless of its seasonable character. The scarcer a certain article Is the greater the demand for It. And this is true of all classes. "A striking Instance of this was shown during the world war in UU8.

' Men who never until recently knew the pleasure of paying more than $20 a suit for clothing now enjoy the rap ture of paying ten times thnt nflieh. . They enter the tailor's shop. He at tempts to show them cloth for a gar ment at .585 to $100. ' ' As soon as they learn the prices their fnces grow cold. They think they have entered' by mistake a cheap, shop. They ask. "Haven't you anything better thnn that?" And they finally select four suits at .$1."0 a suit. A tailor must know his customer well not to fear to give offense by offering anything as cheap as a suit for less than $100. A wealthy man like Senator Under wood may wear a pair of overalls. Some of the established classes, like the young men at Yale, may wear an old coat and old trousers that don't match. Hut a man who has just arrived can not be too particular not to wear any thing that costs less than $150. (Jive those to whom money came during the war a chance. Prices must stay up until b.v con spicuous expenditure their social posi tion has been made secure. Again there is every indication thnt something exciting is going to hnppcn in the fair-price commission duckpoud. But nothing ever linppens. The presumption is that the en gineers who went out at Chester didn't know the strike wns practically over. Counsel for the Los Angeles man held on n charge of having twenty-five wives ought to have no difficulty in provinc the insanity ot his client.
