SUMMER TRAVEL TUB summer which begins today be tween noon and 1 o'clock Is the first in six years In whleh American Tacatlonlsts of roving propensities are ble, at least In part, to grntlfy their desires. The rush to Europe has olreody begun despite passport formalities, whleh. though comparatively mild, are still Irritating, and notwithstanding the fact that conditions abroad are far from normal. Insufficient steamship accom modations, however, still mean that the alleged wholesome effec's of "seeing your own country first" will be largely operative. Some of our citizens, above draft age, formerly luoculated with the Euro pean habit, learned n good deal about their own country and Its inhabitants Tvhlle the war was on. Numbers of tbem will see not only a changed Old World, but will behold It with more acute and intelligent eyes. If the visitatiou begets thoughtful Bees rather than conceit and self-satisfaction, the attempt to regain some thing of the recreativp pleasures pro curable before the world agony will be Justified.

Are fleet has long been inadequate and its increase will meet with public ap- prdTal. The Edwin S. Stuart, the only boat Designed as a fire-fighter, is twenty-five years old. The other boats of the city fleet, the Samuel ! King, the William S. Stokley. the Ashbridge and the Hey burn, are equipped with pumps, but are not fircboats iu the full ;ene of the word. To this small fleet has been assigned " the duty of protecting a billion dollars' worth of property within the harbor of Philadelphia, not to mention tho visit -ins steamships with their costly car goes. The amount asked for the protection of this property seems small indeed. It it entirely conceivable that n fire once T well started on the waterfront might X destroy in a few hours many times the cost of the new boat A stitch In time may save nine and sometimes a good many more. HOPE FOR A SAFE FOURTH TIE expectation that Council will speedily pass Director Cortelyou's ordinance making it unlawful to sill the dangerous fireworks toy called "sparklers" promises for the first time genuine security on Independence Day By far the best way of settling all arguments concerning alleged "harm less" methods of celebrating the Fourth of July Is to ban any upon which the least doubt exists. It N the spiritual meaning of the national holiday too often obscured which is of paramount importance, even if John Adams in n moment of reckless enthusiasm did ad vocate a noisy and perilous celebration, most of the factors of which were ad judged illegal long before attention was focused upon toys which sometimes "worked" and sometimes dealt death. THE CITY'S MONEY ONE of the most important public hearings, the outcome of which will touch the pocketbook of every taxpayer in Philadelphia, is sihedulnl to take place in the near future nt City Hall. It is on the ordinance now pending in Coun cil to raise the rate of interest on city do posits from -,,' per cent to 3 per cent and to provide security for Mich de posits, so that if a depository should fail the city would not lose heavily, as it has two or three times in the past. VNew York, Chicago, Cleveland, JHtaburgh and other progressive com munities have well-developed ways of handling the question, r.nd in such a 'BUaner that full justice is done both to tie city and the bunks. A couucil manic committee might do well to in vestigate the methods employed to such i good advantage in these other com munities. Itlcht here in Philadelphia, the Hoard ef Education has an admirable way of San-ling its finances. Indeed, it blazed the trail, for It tins received interest at the rate ot -M per cent on both its active and inactive deposits for the last tix years, beginning at a time when the city was r-ceivlng S per cent on iu inactive deposits and nothing at all on ih active ones. From 1010 to ,1010 'Inclusive the average daily balance of ft Mta t it depoaitorl-9 was abput W.W if-. ' - $14,000,000, io that 1,4 per cent a year interest represents a very tidy sum. The pending Ordinance In uuqueatlon nbly a step In the right direction, but n prqpoal recently urged by the Iturenu of Municipal Research in ono of its weekly pamphlets, auggestlnR bids by the banks for the city deposits, Is cer tainly worth careful consideration by Council, in that It protects the city, makes certain a return to the city on Its deposits and is absolutely fair to thq bnnkn. Keeping huge bank balances and going out into the market to borrow money is a procedure no business organization would erer follow. Here again the city might profitably take a leaf from the book of the Hoard of Education and keep only working balances in bank, floating Its bonds as cash is required, but not tying up large sums in deposits. In the pat there has usually been a net loss of not less than - per cent per annum every time the city has bor rowed money and let it He Idle in the banks, and this loss will continue until the present methods are changed. THE WORLD ORDER IS THREATENED BY HATRED Disaster Sure to Follow Unless American Statesmen 8trlve to Remove the Causes of Discontent POLITICIANS the world over are more Interested In carrying the next election than In assisting in the progress of civilization. They cannot sec around the edges of the ballot which they seek to induce the voters to put in the box, and their backs are turned to the past no that they are unable to profit by Its lessons. There are exceptions now and then. Mr Hoover, if he can be called a poli tician. Is a notable instance of a public man with knowledge and vision. In the course of an address on the perils of the present and the causes which had pro duced disaster in the past he told a Hutgers College audience the other day that If there had been no foolish men in llabylon that empire would not be a heap of ruins. The Babylonian poli ticians failed to read the signs of tho times aud they led n great empire to destruction. There are terrible portents in the world today, the significance of which politicians in Europe and America are falling to appreciate. Gilbert Murray, a distinguished Uritlsh scholar, con tributes an article to the Century Mag azine for Jul) in which, in the course of a discussion of "Satanism and the World Order." he calls attention to some of these portents. Ills opinions deserve the serious attention of all thinking men in public office and out of it. He tells us that "the war has filled not only Itussia but most of eastern Europe and western Asia with the spirit which I have called Satanism the spirit which hates the world order wherever it exists and seeks to vent its hate without further plnn." nut. Fays he. this spirit would not have got nbroad had not the world order betrayed itself and been false to its principles and acted toward enemies and subjects In ways which seem to them what the ways of Nero or Domitian seemed to St. John on l'atmos. There Is no hope for salvation without repentance. Mr. Murray sees no sign of repentance In places of power, but he is convinced that there is a relil de sire for a change of heart in the minds of millions. He is confident that unless the world order is chnnged by this change of heart the world order is doomed. "I'nless it abstains utterly from war and the causes ofjwar," be says, "the next war will destroy it. I'nless It can seek earnestly the spirit of brotherhood and sobriety at home, bolshevism will destroy it. Pules it can keep its rule over subject peoples quite free from the spirit of commercial exploitation and the spirit of slavery it will be shattered by the widespread hatred of those whom it rules." Mr. Murray does not content himself with pointing out the dangers. He re minds us that the world order, if it sur vives the present economic crisis, has such nu opportunity as has never been granted to any previous order. We have whut no previous empire or collec tion of ruling states ever had dear schemes set before us of the road ahead which will lead out of these dangers into regions of safety : the League of Nations with the spirit which it im plies; the reconcilement and economic reintegration of European society ; and the sjstem of mandates for the admin istration of backward territories. We hove been given everything, he says, except a certain necessary great ness of character. He concludes that if we do not recover greatness of char acter, and if for any reason the great democracies permanently prefer to fol low low motives and to be governed by inferior men, it looks as if not the British empire only but the whole world order established by the eud of the war and summarized by the League of Na tions may pass from history under the mme fatnl sentence as the great em pires of the past. These are solemn words from a man whose knowledge qualifies him to speak. There has been some disposition here to think because we are separnteu from Europe by .'5000 miles of ocean we are not at all Interested in what goes on there. Yet it is only a little more than three years since we were drawn Into a European conflict which has ended with Russin, most of eastern Europe and western Asia filled with the spirit of hatred against the world order of which wo are a part. Unless we and the other nations have the greatness of character to devote ourselves to the righteous task of re moving the grounds for the hatred thot is now threatening the world if we take the parochial view and forget the teachings of experience; if the counsels of the same kind of folly to which Mr. Hoover referred are allowed to prevail we are certain to find ourselves once mote involved in a still greater conflict. But Mr. Hoover nnd Mr. Murray nre not the only men who perceive the duty of the present. Mr. McAdoo rose splendidly to the occasion when in his statement refusing to permit his name to go before the Democratic convention he said that "the times are not pro pitious for equivocation or for appeals to blind passion or to doctrines of hate, or for reactionaries and those who would shut their ears to the great and swelling voice of humanity which cries nloud for the restoration of peace nnd good will at home and in the world and for the opportunity to live in an at mosphere of Justice, progress and pros perity." The swelling voice of humanity not only in America but on the other side of the ocean is demanding that the politicians stop their bickering and cease their struggle for the flesh pots of office and combine to lead the world forward out of the morass into which it is plunged.. No nation can lire to itself 4 'EyEK'-tJpLIC alone today Xo nation can hate an other nation with a blind hatred with out suffering for it. No political party can wage a campaign based on the gospel of hate without sowing dragon's teeth that will germinate and yield a pestiferous ''crop to trouble it for a generation, We are all Americans, loyal to what seems to us to be the best thing for the nation. If we can engage in a rivalry based on a desire that the United States shall fulfill its destiny by as sisting the world in solving tho prob lems common to every member of the family of nations, we can lift the cam paign from the slough of denunciation on to the broad highway ofra con structive program for the benefit of nh mankind. MR. McADOO'S "NO" ALTHOUGH Mr. McAdoo's refusal to run for the presidency lacks what the dramatist would call "motiva tion," there is no uncertainty in his language, Repudiation later of a decision which Mr. Wilson's son-in-law has called "irrevocable" would be an unwholesome novelty In American politics. Asplr ants for the chief magistracy there have been who were ostensl'ol; shy or silent, but virtually none of them ever went to the extreme o. obstructing the loop hole of acceptance. It is highly prob able, therefore, that Mr. McAdoo's "no" does not mean "yes" under over whelming pressure. The mystery lies in his confession of relative poverty, at least sufficiently acute to bar him from politics in favor of business. And yet many men pos sessed of far less worldly goods than Mr. McAdoo notably Grant, Garfield and McKlnley have in the past en tered the presidential race, If they were unafraid of the financin! I sacrifices, perhaps the reason for Mr McAdoo's declination lies deeper. In this connection it Is Interesting to recall a fairly well authenticated rumor that the former secretary of the treasury had little zeal for challenging his political opponents unless he were decidedly cer tain of victory. There is implied cheer for "the Ite publlcan8 in this view, as there is also In the elimination of n personal factor once of considerable potential strength to the Democracy. Mr. McAdoo's abilities have been admitted even by his foes. His weakness lay in family affiliation with the present occupant of the White House a connection which inevitably has fortified Republican cam paign arguments concerning attempted dynastic succession aud has furnished some heavy ammunition for discharge from the political platform. Hut if the Democratic camp will be free from such blows in the future its present state is one of eleventh -hour confusion. 5Ir. McAdoo stood an ex cellent chnnce of winning in the con vention. His retirement presages a complicated, not to say hectic, battle In San Francisco, and mostly with em phatically second-rate material. The painful choice would ucw seem to lie between candidat s who are well known but hardly favorable and those whose merits, however alld, have en joyed scant publicity. Tbut a lively comedy is impending on the Pacific slope is scarcely disputable. WORK IS THE ANSWER CHARLES M. SCHWAH is always an optimist, and it is to be hoped that his address before the Pennsyl vania State Rankers' Association, which was full of his customary cheer, will prove to be n true prophecy. There was one sentence of his address which both sums up the country's present diffi culty and gives its solution. "With less talking nnd more work," said Mr. Schwab, "we will all reach satisfactory results." This is emi nently true. Lack of production Is the cause of most of our economic evils today as well as the principal reason for the existing high prices. Work is the only thing which will end this con dition of affairs. If every American would take Mr Schwab's advice and work more, whether or not he does less talking, mo of our troubles would s.oou be over. The steelmaster is undoubtedly right when he says that we may all have con fidence in the future of the country. America has the fundamentals for pros perity to an extent not possessed by any other nation on earth, nnd there can be no doubt of our ultimate triumph over the evils which now nssail us. The aggravating part of it all is that totally unnecessary stumbling blocks are being thrown In the way of our Immediate progress to this desired end. THE MET'S NEW LEASE EVER, resident of Philadelphia will he glad to hear of the leasing of the Metropolitan Opera House by the officers and trustees of Lu Lit Temple, with the result that the building will still be available as a place of amuse ment for such organizations as may need it Mr link and his associates, by gain ing control of the Academy, have set tled matters happily so far as the Phil adelphia Orchestra and the opera are concerned, but Philadelphia Is too large a city to be dependent upon a single large amusement auditorium. The Shriners' lease, which is for ten years, Includes a purchase option, so thnt the Metropolitan Opera House, like the Academy, is at least for an appreciable period saved to Philadel phia.

Fireworks themselves, as every one knows, are of the utmost antiquity; in fact, they are so old thnt their origin Is In doubt. They were first used in what is now the United States as a means of celebrating great national oc currences such as military victories, and their first use in the celebration of a definite holiday in this country was in the South, where claboroto pieces were set off at Christmas time each year, a custom which is still followed in cer tain bections of the South. It had its origin here in the earliest colonial days. THIS custom thus far antedated the Revolution, but fireworks in the North were by no means unknown, and in Philadelphia they were so popular that they were displayed regularly on n HmaU -!,., admission being chnrged, as in the case of any other amusement. One of the earliest of the really great displays in this city was in 1758, when the Delaware river was the Bceno of a wonderful pyrotechnlcal exhibition in honor of the capture of Fort Breton by General Amherst. A unique point in tho history of fire works in Philadelphia wns the official suppression of them in 1774, two years before the signing ot the Declaration of Independence. Thus a law against squibs preceded the grand cannonade of the Revolution. With the predilection for pyrotochni cal displays which at that time extended all over the colonies, it is not strange that eyen during the Revolution Itself the feeliugs of the people should have found vent in fireworks and noise. This truly American custom appears to be a legitimate Inheritance from tho founders of the country. FIREWORKS appeared in the first congressional celebration of Inde pendence Day iu 1777, when they were shown in the streets of Philadelphia nnd in the following year, when, ac cording to the description of Richnrd Henry Lee, "haudsome fireworks" were set off in the evening. The custom does not seem to have become gcntral throughout the country, however, until some years later. Bonfires nnd the firing of salutes of thirteen guns, pre sumably thirteen in honor of the num ber of colonics, were used from the very first as n means of celebrating the Fourth in every colony. Philadelphia did not confine the use of fireworks to the celebration of na tional holidays, and they were still used as a means of commercial profit. Thus in October, 17S1. there wns nn exhibi tion naively described as "a very grand firework by n girl eleven years old, con sisting of two English men-of-war fighting two Americans in full force and the battle shall be given to the AnierlcniiS." A few years later Bush Hill was established and fireworks were exhibited with great success , in 1700 a "pyro technist from France nnd Germany" giving on exhibition for which $1 ad mission wns charged, a very large sum In those days. The show was appar ently bucce-sful fiom all standpoints. A T THIS time. howeer, the displays t of fireworks on all occasions con sisted nlmost altogether of set pieces, aud these weie handled by experts. The smaller pieces were not unknown, but nearly all of them had to be Imported nnd the expense kept them away from the public at large. It was not until some yenrs after 1S00 thnt the custom of setting off smaller pieces in the streets by any one who cared to buy them and fire them off became fully established From this time on the use of fire works in the United Stttes became al most excliisiel a Fourth of July ad juuet. although they wero and' nre still used iu oilier countries to celebrate na tional occurrences of import, especially those of n military character. How ever, there is no nntinu on eurth where the free nnd unrestricted public use of p)rotechniis is permitted by the au thorities to anything like the extent that it is in the United States. The movement by the authorities to restrict the use of them on the Fourth is, there fore, simply one which has been taken vears befoie hy those in control of all forejgn municipalities. IT IS generally believed thnt fireworks had their origin in China, but this Is not certainly known. It is certain thnt the existed long before the inven tion of gunpowder, nnd it is equally certain that they were used In the days of the Roman circus, although the first unimpeachable description of a set piece was not given until the fourth century. Affei thi there is no trace of them until the Crusaders brought back with them to Europe n knowledge of the In cemliury compounds of the East and gunpowder made its nppenrnnce. Finm this time on the evolution of fireworks wns rapid, and for several centuries the Italians held supremacy in their manufacture. By 1550 they were known all over Europe. The original step in their manufacture was military, llko their origin, but It rap id!) progressed to the point where the rtiewoi'ker became something of n scenic artist who could devise a romantic back ground nnd fill it with shapes bizarre, beautiful or terrifying. THESE grotesque Ideas in time gave place to something more delicate, nnd it more refined taste rejected the hlznrre features of the old displays, artistic merit began to creep Into the designs nnd. nhovc all. efforts wero made to introduce something appropriate to the occasion to be celebrated. A Fourth of July display without the American flag In some of the set pieces would now he considered lacking, and yet this ele ment of appropriateness was one of the last to come into the making of pyro technics.

The Republican platform Is a rough draft which the campaign will elaborate and develop. And now it looks ns If the Board of Education needed to be pushed rather than "shown."

The New York Tribune suggests that President Wilson run again so ns to make the issue on the League of Nntiona clear-cut. Hardly n fair test. The third-term bogie would be a handi cap. Senator Hnrdlng's acceptance of the President's challenge for a referen dum on the question of the foreign rela tionship of the republic doubtless pre Rages a declaration that the platform sidesteps. "If the labor board can go off for a vacation we can, too," said the rail road men. nnd Immediately "resigned." Which would nppear to be another in stance of petty irrltatjons bringing about serious results. As It would nppear from the news thnt there ore fewer burglars hit by householders than friends and relations mistaken for burglars, it might be the pnrt of wisdom to lock the family re volver in the safe with the family plate.

The admin istration hns heen warned not to "bnck water" from the stand outlined by Con gress in the shipping law, in face of the representations that nre being nnd will be made by tho foreign powers. In n statement today by Senntor Jones, of Washington, chnirman of tho Senate commerce committee, the declaration is made that the shipping bill wns framed to aid merchent marine nnd in its con sideration Congress had not sought to bring comfort ,to our foreign competi tors. "The merchant marine act," says the senator, "maps out an uncharted sea for us upon n matter of supreme impor tance, nnd as time goes on, nnd our mer chant marine is built up, It will be real ized what a great thing has been done. "Other nations nre beginning to awake to the fact thnt we nie going to innke n determined effort to engage in the world's carrying trade.

These cnu nnd should be used now for commercial purposes nnd In aid of our merchant marine. American Mail If. American Ships "American mail should be carried in American ships if nt nil practicable. Of the moro than .$3,000,000 pnid every venr for carrying our mail overseas, about $'..r)00,000 is paid to foreign ships This Is so much aid or subsidy to them. This we want stopped. We need especittll.v in the Pacific nnd South American trades, new nnd up to-dnte passenger nnd combination passenger and cargo ships of high speed and large tonnage. We must get them or our competitors will take and hold these "British Lloyds is one of the greatest factors In maintaining n British mer chant murine.

Most of our Insurance Is done by alien companies. This gives them a power which they use to the advantage of their country In mnny ways. This must be changed. We seek to do this nnd hope to hnve the greater part of our marine insurance done in American companies. Trade With Philippines "The trade between the Philippine Islands nnd the United States is of the value of about 1,00,000,000 a year. It ought to be carried iu American ships. The shipping act extends our coastwise laws to the Philippine Islands with provisions fully protecting their jnteret by insuring them adequate serv ice when these Inws go into effect. "Our people must become financially interested in shipping. Investments should be made In ships and shipping se curities. Before n man will invest his money, however, he must feel sure that he will get it bnck. There Is no security to mortgages on ships under the law ns it has been. We have attempted to chnnge this. Mortgages are made secure against subsequent claims except those of n certain special character. If the courts hold the law to be as the frnmers of the mortgage provision believe It to be ship mortgages wilj be secure, aud if they hold the contrary the law boon will be viiauged. "Not n Sunday School Picnic" "Commercial relations have been turned upside down by the war ; nations are abrogating treaties thnt are contrary to their interests. European powers are freeing themselves from treaty provi sions thnt will hinder them in the strug gle for the world's trade. We have been prevented from doing what mnny thought would be done to aid our merchant ma rine by treaties entered into many ears ago. "This Is n splendid time to unshackle oursehes and put ourselves In a posi tion to make such treaties, to enter into such commercial relations nnd to enact such laws us we think will promote our welfare in the woild's readjustment. Other nations will look ufter their In terests. We must look nfter ours. "Wo nre entering no biotherly love Sunday school picnic in seeking our part of the world's currying trade. Fair means nnd foul will be used to defeat us. Fierce assaults will be made upon us from every angle. No meek turning of the cheek will win. We must fight bnck and fight hard to maintain our selves and every honorable means must be used to ndvnnce. Other nations will make concessions to nttnin certnln ad vantages. We hnve It in our power to secure concessions that wc should have. We must use this power wisely, justly nnd for our good, und nowhere can It be used to greater advantagu than lu connection with our merchnnt murine.
