Apart from the perils of undigested art, the theme Itself will not bo fixed in meaning without tho passage of considerable time. When It is shown that the war, as the allied peoples who waged It devoutly wish, has made for durable peace and for recon struction marking" n higher civilization, the sculptor's spur to Inspiration will be multiplied.

NO SERIOUS OBSTACLES TO CITY STREET CLEANING Money Can Be Readily Made Avail able by Council Mayor Moore Holds Whlphand In Situation WHKN Mayor Moore follows out his commendable plan to. inquire into the availability and rost of plant nnd equipment for municipal street elennlnir Information will be obtained on the most Important consideration in this par ticular Issue. There are two soifrces from which to obtain a plant to do street-cleaning work by municipal forces the present contractors and the manufacturers. The first provides tho morn ncccsslble supply, but involves difficulty in setting prices on second-hand articles; while the other may Involve certain delay In de livery, although furnishing brand-new equipment. But certnlnly both of these sources of supply must be drnwn upon to obtain the desired equipment for 1021, nnd for certain reasons It may bo politic for the city to buy out the present con tractors. Even If the city should purchase from the present contractors all of their serviceable equipment, there would still be a need for new equipment to replnce. that which has become useless during the year. We want cleaner streets next year, nnd that purpose requires addi tional equipment. Once the present contractors realize that the city means business they should be only too glad to talk sale prices. Since they hold the most accessible sup ply, they will naturally expect to ob tain top prices for It. However, this condition is encountered every day by business men nnd not Infrequently In municipal affairs when land nnd sup plies are purchased. The situation calls for shrewdness on the part of Mayor Moore and Director Cnvcn. It is very important, of course, thnt the appraisers selected by the city should be capable of recognizing true vnlues and standing by their judgment, and It Is essential for the city to know accurately the status of the material market to determine the best course in dealing with the contractors. While the task of definitely lining up plant nnd equipment will Involve much labor and difficulty, more important problems will arise. Money must be made available. Hut raising funds for capital Invest ment in street -cleaning plant nnd equip ment should not offer any scrioua ob stacle. The city has a total borrowing capacity now of nearly $50,000,000 which can be used on a favorable vote of the people, while Council can still authorize the issuance of $.1,000,000 worth of bonds without the approval of the peoplb, in addition to an emergency borrowing capacity of $2,000,000. A councilmauic loan provides the more Immediate source of money. Funds from n popular loon would not be avail able until after the November election. unless a special election were held, which is decidedly improbable and, be cause of the cost, not to be urged ex cept as an extreme resort. ' Iu the case of a couucilmanic loan the money Is actually available for use, under the law, as soon as the ordinance authorizing the issuance of bonds is signed by the Mayor or passed over his veto. Likewise money would be avail able from n popular loan as soon as the vote had been officially recorded. The availability of the money even before the bonds hnvo been sold Is pro vided for by law. This fuct Is Impor tant in this case because purchases of street-cleaning equipment will he ex pedited thereby, and if Council fails to provide money by councllmanic loan the people can vote it at the November election iu time to be used this year. While no figures have been given out nt City Hall to Indicate the probable extent of the capital outlay involved, and definite amounts will not be avail able until after the Mayor's proposed inquiry hns been completed, it Is safe to estimate that the amount needed will fall well within the existing council- manic borrowing capacity of $2,000,000. Authorization of such a loan iu Coun cil may be opposed by the couti actor Interests, but If the Mayor stands firmly for municipal work he should win. Even before the problem has been officially referred to tho Council by the Mayor for action several of the councllmen have expressed a determination to carry out the mandate of the charter for mu nicipal street cleaning. In this issue the Mayor holds the whlphand. W.iilc Council must vote definitely to substi tute contract performance if the charter Is not obeyed, such notion must he ap proved by the Mayor, and under the circumstauces the Mayor can unques tionably put over his own program for 11121, if it Is a reasonable compliance with the terms of the charter and pro tects the public interest. Opposition may be raised to the pur ehuse ut this time of street-cleaning equipment from cither contractors or manufacturers because of prevailing high prices. This fact, unhappily, meets business men nt every turn in public nnd private business. In some instances it is of Hufflr'ent importance to compel hesitation, nnd occasionally to delay purchose In the hope of secur ing lower prices. Rut who will predict how long we shall hovo to wait for lower prices, and then how much lower they will be? In certain cases, therefore, expe diency overrules this argument about high prices nnd the city must go ahead with its projects. This decision has been made in many lines of public Im provement work. Construction of sew ers, grading and paving highways, lay ing water mains and even buying new pumps for the water plants and putting in pew filter beds, are followed as un hesitatingly today as before, the war. And only on, July 13 Council voted a J?CI,000,000 loan or these purposes, a sum 6eTeral:titnca the amount needed for L Improvements In spite of high prices, It can avoid Investment In strcct'-clcanlug plant and equipment because contracts may bo made until lower prices prevail. On the surface that appears an excel ent argument, but it docs not bear close Inspection. . Municipal street cleaning was) written Into the new charter because' the public had tried contract street cleaning for many years and found it wanting. Tho public desires clean streets and knows hat municipal operation will give direct control over tho work, making clean street, possible. Therefore wo should be only chcntlng ourselves to speak of continuing contract work to avoid cap ital outlay. And the amount of contractors' profit eliminated by municipal work will offset these Inflated purchase priced In a very short timet THE RATE. INCREASE , THE Interstate Commerce- Commis sion has acted with commendable expedition in handing down Its decision on the petition of the railroads for an Increase in rates. It grants such Increases as will pro vide $1,400,000,000 additional income and assure a return of 0 per cent on the investment. The railroads had asked for an In crease of $1,000,000,000 before tho Labor Hoard mndc a wage award which will cost $000,000,000 to meet. Then the roads 'asked for an additional sum .sufficient to meet this increased expense. The commission comes within $200,- 000,000 of granting nil that wns nsked. The new rates are to go Into effect as soon as the railroads can make the nec essary arrangements. Tli ere will be no dclny, for tlie roads need the money nt once. Home com plaint over the Increased passenger and freight rates is likely to be heard, but those who take a broad view of the sub ject will accept the situation. Tlrcy know thnt the railrnnds have been so pinched for money that they could not buy new cars or new locomotives to accommodate the business offered. Ah n result all forms of business have suf fered from lack of transportation facili ties. Wc may now expect tlie railroads to prepare themselves to handle the traffic which they have been compelled to refuse In the Immediate past, and wc may also expect conditions In nil forms of business to Improve with the im provement in the railroad service which must follow the increased income of the roads. PALMER IS STILL SORE THE interview which Attorney Gen eral Palmer gave to a representative of this newspaper nt his home In Stroudsburg Indicates that he still Is nursing the bruises thnt he received In San Francisco. It is evident thnt he Is struggling to prevent his personal in clinations from lending him to prevent party hnrmony. The national committee has announced that all of the asplraut.s for the nomi nation will take the stump for Cox. With this report in mind, the newspaper-mnn asked the attorney general if he would take any part In the cam paign. "I expect I may," he replied list lessly, and then after a pause he added, "make a few speeches." I'nless he can work up n little more enthusiasm about the matter the speeches which he may make will not help Cox very much. In spltc.of all thnt has been said to the contrary, some pretty hard feelings hnve survived the San Francisco con vention. Mr. Palmer's boast that he is a "game loser" does not conceal his bitterness toward the men who failed to support him. And his mental attitude is such that, although he denies the rumors that he intends to resign, no one need bo surprised if he should sever his connection with the national ad ministration in the near future and devote himself to his law practice. This would give him an excuse for refraining from making nny campaign speeches. PERVERSION OF THE STRIKE THERE arc many disagreeable trav elers on trains nnd ships. There is also a cheering proportion of pleasant folk. "Some like drink," declared Stevenson, "In a pint pot. Some like to think. Some not." He did not live to add that "some whom workers do not like give no vnlld right to strike." Members of the crew of the White Star liner Ilaltic evidently thought otherwise on Saturday, however, when n perfectly preposterous debate wns held concerning the embarkation of Arch bishop Daniel J. Mannlx, of Australia, for Ireland. The Btntus of this prelate as a trav eler Is just now a matter for determina tion by the Uritish nnd American Gov ernments, and by them alone. The talk of a walkout because of differences of opinion among the Baltic's stewards nnd seamen on the archbishop's views about Irelann insanely distorts the only pos sible valid claim whieli a striking pollcj exerts upon public sympathy. The rectification through strike ol grievances affecting pay and labor con ditions is generally held, despite all tho public hardships that it e, tails, to be a right of working men. They may quit if they are abused. Itut an attempt to pass judgment on the credentials of Individuals who may happen to receive the benefits of their labor is intolerable nonsense. PROGRESS IN NEW JERSEY BEGINNING today licensed barbers will niark the course of the higher civilization In New Jersey. An affi davit must be filed showing how many years the applicaut has been engaged in shaving for compensation and how long he has operated In the state. He must also pass an examination. There, Indeed, is the rub or is it a scrntch? Who are to be the victims under the test? Admittedly the royal taster of old filled a perilous post. The prince's whipping boy, too, had a nasty Job, The patrons reclining under the secure touch of duly documented Jersey bar bers assuredly owe to the individual testers n debt of gratitude. Hut with even tho best intentions, it is hard to see how these fortunate cus tomers can begin to pay It save by the expression of n somewhat futile aynj pathy. Onco upon a time In A Fable n far-off land n en- pablo government, for the sake of efficiency, abolished nil efficiency experts; and everybody Jived happily ever after. Not the least of the evils that will' follow inadequate movement of the wheat crop is tlie financial loss It will mean, to the farmers and their couse 'quent' discouragement. V BISMARCK AND WILSON Striking Parallel Between the Two MenThe Pennsylvania Railroad's 70th Anniversary By GEOKGE NOXMcCAIN THE Itev. Dr. George William Lin , coin, ot the Phlloblblon Club, a dclver Into tho realms of history, biog raphy, church loro and current events, has directed my .attention to n rare .parallel In the lives of two strenuous historical figures, viz., Prince Ilismarck of Germany, dead since 1808 and Woodrow Wilson, very much allvo' at the present time. i nismorck, as his biographer con cede, was selftxentercd, imperious, ob stinate, impatient of restraint, dicta torial and the finest example of ,an nutocrat the modern world has seen. And he was a German. In O. Grant Robertson's authorita tive work on Bismarck,, one ot the volumes in the set of "Makers ot tho Nineteenth Century," the remarkable parallel between Bismarck and Wilson is unintentionally drawn by the author. If the reader can substitute the name of Woodrow Wilson for Prince Bis marck, nnd the period ihVGermnn his tory nenrly sixty yearsuiogo for the United States df.today, ho will scuso the coincidence. Jn 1803 the German emperor-maker faced powerful parliamentary opposi tion In Prussia. The legislature was ucad against mm. r' WAS at this period of his career that Bismarck' devcloned the nuall- ties which led to his being regarded ns the uncrowned king of I'rtissln and the greatest autocrat Europo had known in a thousand years, "Bismarck. In short, used evcrv card to extract the maximum political advan tage from an affair which lie examined with icy impassabiltty." says Robert son. With the Prussian Parliament openly at war with him on his imperious ways nnd tho country behind their represen tatives, Bismarck made open, flagrant nnd unceasing war on the national legislature. Of this Mr. Robertson says: "Interpellations, denunciations of the conventions, resolutions by sweeping (majorities, he brushed nsicle as irrele vant attempts to Interfere with the royal right to conclude treaties by pre rogatives nnd to make the foreign power of rrussia conform to the folly of ig norant Idealists or crazy demagogues. "He told tho lower house roundly thnt the making of war nnd treaties was the right of the crown, and roused Ita fury (the Parliament's) by the em phatic assertion thnt he would make war or abstain from it without their approbation or consent," Think it over. RAILROAD corporations, being im personnl institutions with finnnclal alms, are not given to celebrating his torical events in their career. This is true of the Pennsylvania Rail road particularly, which today is the premier of American railways in point of equipment, financial strength and ef ficiency. Nevertheless, the 18th of next Octo ber will witness tho seventieth anniver sary of Its corporate existence. On that day, In the year 18."0, was celebrated the opening of Its lines or line, .rather, for It was a single track completed from Hnrrlsburg, its theb point of departure, to Altoona. There wns an excursion over the ljne with crowds nt every station greeting the train, and a general period of re. Jolcing throughout the central counties' of the state. It was then known as the Pentisyl-' vnnin Central Railroad, called into ex istence on the 3d of April, 1810, by legislative enactment. Violent nnd acrimonious debates marked the passage of the charter hill by the Legislature. The men behind the project were stigmatized as mad nps. They were looked upon ns wholly Irresponsible because they were willing to engage in such a project. The act required thnt $2.(100,000 should be subscribed before letters pat ent should be iued, and of this tntm S2."i0.000 should be tiald in cash. In view of the magnitude nnd pros pects of the undertaking, It might be presumed thnt the cash was forthcoming in a jiffy. Not a bit of it. T.he efforw to raise this sum were harder than trying to collect money for Armenian child relict sixteen months after the close of the world war. r1 Wi sylvi WAS a crucial period for the Penn- ania Central Railroad. For a time the scheme threatened to go the way of the recent Interchurch Move ment. Town meetings were held nnd "block" committees were appointed to beg citi zens to subscribe on the bnsls of the public-spirited character of the venture. Even draymen nnd porters were con voked In meetings, where they were shown that If each were to take a share it would not only help the enterprise, but, If the road should prove a success, they would get good Interest on their money nnd a great increase in their business. It was not until the 30th of Mnrch, 1847, three days less than one yenr after the enabling act, that the insig nificant sum was obtained, n charter issued and a beard of directors or ganized. It was three years and six months later, In October, 18.V), thnt this link in the now mighty,, system known as the Pennsylvania Railroad was completed and eelehrnted by the people with ora tory, feasting and rejoicing. If the members of the Legislature of 1840 who so reluctantly granted the charter could rehabilitate their astral personalities long enough to return and view the tindrenmed-of result of their work, they doubtless would dematerlnl Ize so rapidly from mere shame of their short-sightedness that to the finest spiritual medium they would appear like a streak of heat lightning on a sultry night. PROTHONOTARY HENRY F. WALTON is nresident of the hnnrtt of trustees of the State Hospital for the Insane at Falrvicw. He has watched Us growth, nnd, In a way, directed Its development from its Inception. It Is the one thing about which he Is ready to talk upon nny and nil occasions. He hns a direct, personal and Intimate pride in the in stitution, which Is regarded as tho finest Institution of its kind not only in the T'nlted States, but possibly in the entire world. Director of Public Welfare TiiBtin was one of the party, consisting of Mayor Moore, President Wegleln, of City Council, nnd Councilman W. W. Roper, who recently made a pilgrimage to Falrview. It was in connection with tho Idea of transferring some of Philadelphia's criminal insane to the hospital. Di rector Tttstln pays this remarkable tribute to Fnlrvlew: "The institution nt "Falrvicw devel oped by President Walton, Superinten dent Lynch and the board of trustees is one of the marvels of the age. ' Hun dreds of criminal insane of all degrees quietly walking into Uio dormitories, joining In the Lord's prayer and then1 retiring to sleep under tho supervision of a couple of guards presents a sight that U almost incredible." imp 1 1 ' '! i The oldest trunk mystery is, how' on earth she, ever got it shut.

The crew of. the Baltic seems to ln slst on n man's right to strike when ever he is hot under the collar. Ono can't expect much speed from tho Cox chariot with Burleson and Palmer ns brakes on the wheels. If Cox were elected Tammany as suredly would work Its little card index system to remind him of favors done. The views of the chairman of the Democratic nntlonal committee appear to be not White, but n muddy gray. Ponzl has apparently not yet got all the easy money. Financiers, It Is said, have offered him $10,000,000 for bis secret. It may be authoritatively slated that no "Wlshjyou-wcrc-hcre" post cards are being sent out from the White House. The man who first spoke of South Philadelphia ns Hell's Halt Acre is perhaps more expert as a psychologist than ns n surveyor. Whnt the railroads will eventually learn is that Increased passenger rates arc not only nn error In economics, but an error In psychology. In view of possible extradition pro ceedings, Villa at peace with his coun try may be a greater menace to it than when he was In rebellion. In the matter of good publicity employes of the P. R.

A million dollars n time is too much for Philadelphia to pay to get on the front page of the country's newspapers.

As nn issue Governor Cox would be more than willing to swnp the League for a labor union ; which doesn't nt nil mean that it would be an act of wisdom.

Tho hostile attitude, he said, Is re flected in tho Japanese press nnd is growing throughout the country. Mr. Gimbcl was abroad for four months. He particularly was Impressed with tho friendliness, chivalry and sin cerity of the Chinese. Ho said: "Japan gives one tho impression of n thoroughly militarized country, a Germany in tho Fnr East, where the military power is sunreme in nil things," the young Philadelphlan said. Rail Scrvlco Good "The military is In chnrge of the railroads, and tho urrivnl of n train is marked by a ceremonious Hnng up of guards nnd ofilelnls to salute the sta tion master. Yet the service Is good, with satisfactory rolling stock nnd ex cellent schedules. This Is especially true of the lino through Korea. "In Toklo and elsewhere In Japan I found n firmly Intrenched feeling among tho people thnt the mikado's forces will and should stay in Siberia. Japan Is nn overpopulated country and needs more room for Its people. A tenndous disposition to acquire it is rcllcetcd in tho seizures of Korea and Formosa and the way they were holding to their vantage in Siberln. The fact is that Japan has spent huge sums unon Its Siberian expedition and is making large expenditures upon the navy nnd its forces elsewhere. "Japan, to my mind, Is short of nearly everything Jn the way of raw materials, except, perhaps, coal. Un less she cnu ncquire theso materials In Siberia or elsewhere her development is going to bo hampered. Without them Japan would be In no position to make war upon ourselves or any other nation unless she has Inrge accumula tions in reserve Jealously guarded. Content Not Real "As to this a foreigner there could get no Information if lie would. The Impression ouo is given is thnt he sees or is shown only whnt Is desired he should see. Korea's apparent content and prosperity was said to be 'only railroad deep' in Tslngtnu, China, where there is no apparent disposition on the part of the Japanese to with draw, their flng Is displayed In tho railroad stations nnd their soldiers are everywhere." The most pretentious store Mr. dim. bol found In Japan is that conducted by the Mitsikoshi Co., in Toklo. It Is a four-story structure containing about 15,000 square feet of floor space, planned by Englishmen nnd very ef ficiently conducted. Practically nil of tho wares on sale aro of Japanese pro duction. Japan has little uso for any thing wo might send her In the way of wearing apparel. Sho does not want our shoes or clothing. Mr. Gimbcl wns not inclined to shnrr the opinion of some of the Amerlcnns nnd Europeans ho met In Japan that the country will make nn nttempt to adopt a democratic form of government when the present emperor dies. He questioned from his brief experience, whether such a form of envernmnnt I, would bo any more successful thero than the republic has been up to this time in umnu. ue was impressed by Indi cations of growing resentment in snnio Japanese circles that Great Britain has no iurtner use tor .inpan as a fighting ally, a tendency attributed to America In part. Impressions In Clilnu "There are uo stores to speak of Jn Pekin. but I found In tho Grand lintel one of the best hotels I ever have visited," Mr. Glmbel continued. "It Is conducted by nwJss and the service, is nenrly perfect. Pekin otherwlsn In nothing but diplomacy nnd history.

An exceptionally fine ono, onernted br tho i.nvorntnnnf tn Hnniit Korea, is said to be run nt n loss for governmental reasons. Tho Grand Hotel nt Yokohama Is nn American house and first class. Another success ful hotel Is thnt which Japanese have established nn American Ideas In Myanoshltn. Virtually all of tho hotels ore "American plan." A good room with bath costs from $10 to $12 a day. Japan recently appropriated 100,000, 000 yen for the establishment of hotcjs and the building of roads to encourage travel." , Blorrls Well Thought Of Roland S. Morris, the American am bassador, n Philadelphlan, 1s highly regarded by the Janaucsc, Mr. Glinbol said. In Toklo he met Benjamin Flelsher, member of n well-known Philadelphia family, who ia conducting a newspaper there. Excepting tho celebrated Satsumn wnre, practically all of Japanese arts nro of Chinese derivation, tho Phila delphlan continued. China's artisans nro turning out today all manner of nrtlstlc products equal to anything their country ever produced, and Mr. Glmbel believes that the creation of n demand for It In this country will strengthen tho bond between tho two nntlous. There are few automobiles In China except in tlie cities because outslrio of them there nro no roads to speak of, The waterways arc first class but tho travel is wearisomely slow. In the city of Canton much of the ojd town. Is being torn out nnd rebuilt with a wid ening of streets to let In the sun which hna been shut out for centuries.

Mr. Glmbel found considerable dis satisfaction in tho Philippines on the part of Americans becaustf the natives hnvo been given too much niithdrlty nnd on the part of tho Filipinos because complete Independence urllt is with hold. He docs not believe tho ruco Is ready for the latter boou. lie bnokc. highly of the management of tho Jap anese steamship lines.
