A DIFFERENCE I r fP YOU drive a motorcar with nn open cut -out or if, driving, an nutomobile muted, you sound n danger slgnnl too in sistently, you will be summoned by tbo po lice and fined. There is a way, however, by which it N possible to do tlioxe things and yet escnpc fines or punishment. Carry n gun in your motorcar and hold somebody tip, and you will be sate. This simple deduction is not inspired by any lack of appreciation for the work done by the traffic squad or the policemen on other posts. They nre capable men who reem to do their best with poor facilities. They work under haphazard rules that are always chnnging. The city needs a btnnd nrdiied system of traffic control, such as might be formulated quickly by a commission of traffic engineers. It needs, too, some 1 fast motorcars and good drivers in the serv ice of the Police Department. These ma chines should b on regulnr patrol at night to eliminate motor yeggs, even if thnt work necessitated n few healthy machine guns mounted conveniently on the hoods. There is n simple caitse for motorcar ban ditry. A policeman on foot has small chances against armed thugs in a fast nutomobile. PARKS THAT PLEASE THE various city "squares" and open spaces under the control of the Fair mount Park Commission have, in the main, been taken careof so admirably that the Mayor's program for curbing this jurisdic tion Is somewhat surprising. Certainly the major squares in the "old town," Klttcn bousc, Franklin, Independence aud Wash- '"'Tngton, have not in years been so admirably kept as nt the present time. Paris and Washington can boast of no prettier diminu tive parks. If the Council, at the Mayor's suggestion, sees fit to. rearrange certain details of police authority In these recreation grounds, Fome needless confusion may be eliminated. But it Is to be hoped that such action will not be n prelude to any sweeping change. Fair mount Park and its satellites in the built-up portions of the city are physically trim and successfully ndminUtered. The operntion of the park commission has the respect of the community, nnd the glades anil greenswards of this otherwise rather monotonously constructed town nre among its chief causes for legitimate pride. As matters now stand, n let-nlone policy, if not too rigidly applied, commends itself to .-tpopuljir approval. A SHEEP IN WOLF'S GUISE WE MAY be said to be getting into the last lap of the national campaign. Mr. liar ding has been accused of going too cnu tjously amid the new nnd stupendous isanes created by the war and the war's after math. There are times when caution pays, and this ix one of them. Mr. Cox is not cautious. He speaks bravely of International affairs because he does not understand them. He is silent or evasive in the presence of every question related to issues that demand frank and ekplicit utterance. In "wet" territory, for """example, Mr. Cox is a "wet." In "dry" ter ritory he is a "dry." Thn delusion that tho Democratic candidate will force a modifi cation of the Volstend net has been care fully built up by Ills campafgn managers In regions where they think it will do the most good. The fact of the matter is that Cox is not a "wet." He knows thnt ultimate decisions relating to the prohibition net will be made by Congress nnd the general public. He has not said this in any speech. Ho will not say it. lie prefers to talk of things that, being further away, may easily be discussed in picturesque generalities. MUSIC AT ITS BEST mllAT the nrtistic enterprise of the Phila- delphia Orchestra is fully consonant with its present gratifying financial vigor is indicated by the ambitious and interesting program outlined for the new season. Fur ther details will, of course, be forthcoming when Mr. Stokowskl returns from his first European visit since the outbreak of the .world war. Among the new offerings some may be confidently expected from Italy, which has of late experienced a healthy revival of purely instrumental music. Mallplero, who has nlready figured on Philadelphia Orchestra piograms, has been hulled as a leader of nn Italian .reaction against opera. New sym phonists nre arising and the land of song In plainly competing for position with mod ern France in the orchestral field. The movement is especially welcome ninco nothing can be expected at present fiom Russia, nnd inspiration in contemporary Germany i at low ebb. The older Herman masterpieces will, of course, be ployed this year, and it is not presumptions to forecast the revival of all-Wncner concerts. ,Apart from Sir. Htokowskl's discoveries severnl attractive newcomerB will strengthen tho nlrendy brilliant standard list of soloists. Cyril Scott, the noted English pianist and composer, will be.n stellar feature. Homo Iftknt of conspicuous quality will be repro- , MAted ib Cnrlton Cooley, violinist nnd win i' ir'ot, tho Stokowski medal last year, in nd ,vKien 'tojhose gifted members of tho or- (A4Mff! Tr? " aoiuiai. iuuug iuo major productions of the season will be the Uccthoven ninth symphony, the llrahms requiem and the Mahler1 second symphony, nil entailing the services of n chorus. The plcasuro which Philadelphia takes in one of the foremost orchestrns of the world is certain to be intensified by the new season scheduled to begin on October 15. Tho re stored Academy will also contribute Its share toward the popular satisfaction. PUTTING RESPONSIBILITY WHERE IT REALLY BELONGS The Adoption of the Home Rule Amend ment to the Constitution Will Stop the Practice of Passing the Buck to Harrlsburg pYltt'S E. WOODS, ' secretary of the - commonwealth, in obedience to the com mand of tho constitution, is publishing in every county tho text of six proposed amend ments to that document adopted by the gen eral assembly nt its last session. The constitution requires tho publication of the text of proposed amendments adopted by one general assembly in order that the voters may give a mandate on thc subject to the members of thq next general assembly. If the amendments ar$ ratified by two suc cessive general assemblies then they are'sub. mltted directly to the voters for their ap proval. The publication of the air nrnnnsori amendments in the newspapers of the state Is for the Information of the voters. But, notwithstanding the theory of the constitu tion, it is doubtful If any member of the general assembly will be elected or defeated because of his support of or opposition to any or all of the amendments. Neverthe less, it is prudent to assume that the voters arc interested in propositions to change the fundamental law, for you never con tell when that interest will not become acute. Four of the' six proposed changes are of vital Interest to Philadelphia. That one officially designated as Number 4A will, if adopted, pave the way for freeing this city from its dependence on Harrlsburg. It changes Section 1 of Article XV of tho constitution so as to read : Section 1. Cities may be chartered when ever a majority of the electors of any town or borough having n, population of at least ten thousand shall by vote at any general or municipal election In favor of the same. Cities, or cities of nny particular class, may bo given tho rlsht and power to frame and adopt their own charter? and to ex orcise the powers and authority of local (clf-eovernment, subject, however, to such testrlctlons. limitations and regulations as may be Imposed by the Legislature. Laws nUo may be enacted affecting the organ ization nnd government of cities and bor oughs, which shall become effective In any city or borough only when submitted to tin electors theteof nnd approved by a ma jority of those voting thereon. The incorporation of this amendment into the constitution would open the way to real home rule for all the cities of the state. It does not go so far as many advocates of municipal autonomy would like, nnd it stops short of the point reached in other states. It merely permits the Legislature to pass laws giving the cities the right to frame their own charters. The Michigan constitution provides that "the Legislature shall provide by n general law for the incorporation of cities and by a general lnw for the Incorporation of vil lages," and that "under such general laws the electors of each city and village shall have power and authority to frame, adopt and amend its charter and to amend any existing charter of the city or village here tofore granted." This Is an actual home rule provision. It leaves nothing to the discretion of the Leg islature, save the limitations under which tho cities may exercise their powers. It is evident that Pennsylvania is not ready to go as far as Michigan or nny of the other western states which have freed their cities from continual interference by the Legislatures. Hut it is n -sign of progress when the general assembly can be induced to approve so mild and experimental a change as that, embodied in the proposed amendment. A careful rVidlng of the text will show that the way is opened to making the ex periment with any group of classified cities or with nil, as the judgment of the legis lators dictates. The language, "cities, or 'cities of any particular class, may be given the right and power to frame nnd ndopt their own charters," leaves a very wide dis cretion to legislative judgment. That there may be no doubt of the power of the Legislature to legislate for special classes of cities another amendment is pro posed which declares that while the Legis lature may divide counties, cities nnd school districts into not more than seven classes, laws relating to any class Fhall b'c deemed "general legislation" within the meaning of the constitution. The purpose of this is to nullify the existing prohibition against special legislation nffecting cities and counties. These two amendments ought to be passed by the next Legislature nnd then submitted to the voters at the next succeeding general election. And then the Legislature should pass a law giving to the first-class cities, nt least, the right to do what they will with their charters. When this is done the woy v.ill,be open for the people of Philadelphia to put back into their charter those provisions which had to be eliminated in Harrlsburg in order to secure the approval of the attorney general, provisions most carefully drafted by experts, but rejected because a man who is not nn expert in munlcipnl government could not see their pertinence. We shnll have this power, for the permission to frame a charter inevitably carries with it tho provision to amend it. One of the other proposed changes in the constitution opens the way for the city of Philadelphia to "acquire by contract or con demnation the franchises and property of any company owning or operating transit facilities, or nny part thereof, within its corporate limits, or the shares of stock of the corporation owning or operating the same, or nny part thereof." The adoption of this amendment, followed by the necessary legislation, would put the city In n position to solve tho problem of the underlying companies If It chose to cxercUc the power conferred. There can be no objection to freeing tho hands of the city. When it is enabled to do what it will with the transit companies then it must bo de cided in the light of existing circumstances what it wishes to do. Another proposed change in the constitu tion provides for the consolidation of the numbered Courts of Common Pleas in Phlln- delphia nnd Allegheny counties into a single court in each county with a presiding judge, and for an increase in the number of Judges by law from time to time as the busluess seems to warrant. This chango has been urged by lawyers for years. They will be gratified that it is in a fair woy of being made within a year or two. The home rule amendment, however, is the most vital, for It marks tho beginning- of a cLroge In the policy of the state toward the cities. It is In line wltb the best thought on municipal government, which is based on, the assumption that people in the cities nro just as good as pcoplo in tho country and can be trusted to manage their own affairs without undue Interference. MILITANCY REVIVED VOTES havo been achieved by women, yet it appears that the militants who march under tho banners of Miss Alice Paul nnd Mrs. O. II. P. Belmont still feel that they must be tireless and sleepless In a 1ioly war for further guarantees of equal rights. "Tho fight," cried Miss Paul at a meeting where it was decided to continue the Notional Woman's party as a thing apart, aggressive and exclusive, "is just begun l" The fight for what? Militant leaders, who have begun to talk with the ardor of re vivalists, do not say in explicit terms. The world had come to suppose that tho fight had ended. But Miss Paul' and licr friends have a new set of grievances. They nre unhappy because women were not appointed to membership in the Federal Coal Commis sion, because women have no scats on the Ballnny Labor Board nnd because men still continue to fill "all the high-salarlcii posi tions iu public life." Are we, then, on tho eve of nn agitation for women senators, women representatives nnd a President whom the country would have to address as Her Excellency? Or have the militant suffragists been bo long jn the field that the prospect of pence and warm firesides is in tolerable to tbem? Life moves in cycles. Certainly the male of the human species cultivated habits of tyranny in the days of his undisputed politi cal authority. But he has never ceased to be naive. He was never the power that ho Imagined himself to be. If he ever began n passionate agitation for equal rights on his own account women of nil lands might have reasons for long regret. We can tell Miss Paul something. We can tell her why the President didn't ask women to serve on his various federal commissions. Work done or attempted by these boards is gruelling hard aud thankless. It is wearing. Mr. Wllsou did not ask women to serve because of the habit of mind that would make it im possible for him to ask a woman to change a flat tire or stoke n furnace. The feminine militants are not frank. If they yearn to f-hjiro the rough work of the world they should say so explicitly. 'One may doubt that they want to share tho stresses that men bear without complaint or questioning. Life, as we sold a moment ago, moves Iu cycles. Biologists say that war Is inter minable beneath all the surfaces of existence. Here and there in the feminist world there appears to be a dawning desire for ven geance ngainst that half of tho human race which for a while was lu some ways domi nant. Once, it is said, iu the very early twilight of creation, women ruled. Do they wish to rule again with the authority said to havo been snatched from them nt the be ginning of things to be-magistrates, judges, senators, bosses, presidents, miners, public executioners? If some such hope stirs In the mind of any feminist then there Is trouble ahead for the Indies. For they may lose heavily, even while they appenr to win. They will lose the numberless advantages that have been theirs through all generations as the unquestioned rulers of a subject world of men. The subjects of womcu do their fight ing for them nnd benr the wounds. They go out and limit food nnd dig coal and bring back the fruits of their labors in all the various forms that range betweeu food nnd diamonds. Lie the serfs of old, they must not sit while any representative of the ruling class stands. They get out nnd get under while their rulers gaze in royal abstraction at the landscnpe. They take the blows, pay the bills, run the locomotives nnd dig in the mines. Do Miss Paul and Mrs. Belmont intend to picket nnd demonstrate some more for the right to share these labors? When the suffrage amendment wns passed women were accorded recognition thnt was their right. It was n formal sort of recog nition. They were given an instrument with which they may work out nil their purposes, and yet they were not asked to share the routine hardships of political responsibility. More could uot well be asked. And, be sides, if ever there was u dumluant sex that sex wns feminine. The cruder mind of the male has always manifested a sort of pride in its chains. If women nre wise they will not try further to change n condition thnt, as it stands, 1b almost wholly to their ad vantage. If the National Woman's party continues to wage the "war" of which Miss Paul speaks it will not fight upward. It will fight downward to a place nmid the obedient slaves of tho sex it represents down to levels from which, iu the future, it may not easily escape. THE OLYMPIANS KICK IT IS idle to deny that the showing made By Americans in the Olympic games was in some ways disappointing The return of the teams nnd the statement Issued in behalf of the athletes bj Earl Eby, Peun runner, may explain tho failure of some of our men to llvo up fully to Jhe hopes of the country nnd the expectations of their friends. "We were eighteen days in the hold of n ship," said Eby, "and we lived on poor food nnd in inadequate quarters while we wore abroad. The men had no opportunity for exercise on tho wny over. No wonder some of them got slow and fat." Newspaper readers will remember the wireless reports of a strike of the athletes declared a few days after their ship had left New York because of poor food and poorer quarters. What is to be said of tho com mittee in charge of the Americans? By what rule of reasoning can it be innde to appenr that athletes trained to a hair for competition in the world's greatest contests, can safely be shipped about the world in quarters of the sort usually reserved for ani mals. Here Is a lead for a sure-enough muckraker who wnnts to do" some good. A WASTEFUL MOTOR RULE FItOM the extreme of allowing motorists to do pretty much ns they pleased, the police now seem in danger of going to the opposite extreme of enforcing new rules nnd regulations in such nn obnoxious manner thnt the use of motorcars In tho city may soon be intolerably discouraged. The latest idea requiring thnt front and rear lights be kept burning even when cars are parked together in rows, end to end, or side by side, along the streets, oftentimes under the full glare of street arc-lights, is absurd ; and can be helpful only to the battery-charging stations, by inerenslng their business. Leaving cars standing along the streets in dark places without lights certainly was wrong. But to overcome this abuse it surely ought not to have been necessary to apply a rule universally even where the streets were plainly lighted. Only a blind man could foil to see a car standing by the curb under a street lamp or in front of stores where shop windows nro lighted, as in many of tho outlying shipping centers where cars are parked by shoppers or patrons of the movies. The rule should be modified because it can only result in waste of battery current aud useless expense to car owners. DON'T NEED PLUMB PLAN Expert Tells How Employes May Own - Railroads Without Govern mental Disturbance EMINENT economists havo from time to time suggested many plans for tho elimination of dtTfercnccs between, capital nnd labor, nnd many employers, actuated by sentiments not, perhaps, wholly altru istic, for contented workmen mean moro efficient workmen, have tried them out. Working conditions hnvc been improved; means have been sought to bring about n return of tho personal touch common be tween employer nnd employe before busi ness grew to Its present enormous propor tions! profit-sharing lias ecu trlebd out, and, here nnd there, this last has been car ried to its logical conclusion shareholding. Several Philadelphia firms, Including tho Stetson Hnt Co., encourage their employes to hold stock. Approaching the matter from n slightly different angle. President Mitten, of the. P. It. T.. urged employes to start a saving fund, which they did, nnd the moncv they have accumulated now runs Into millions. Tho good feeling existing between employers nnd employes m this concern recently evi denced itself in ii striking manner, as nil Philadclphlans remember. Now both shareholding and saving have n distinct bearing on the suggestion mado by n writer In the current issue of tho Hallway Age. That the wage problem solves itself when the woge-earncr becomes also n wnge-pnycr is a delightfully simple economic pronouncement yhlch has never been presented more entertainingly than iu the article here appended. '"tXTHY do not the railway employes buy W the railroads of the I'tilted States?" asks tho Hallway Age. "The propaganda fur the Plumb railroad plan, which Is but a pnrt of the Bolshevistic crusade for the de struction of 'cntiltnllsm' nnd the establish ment of the political and economic rule of tho proletariat, still goes on. If the em ployes of railways, foal mines and other industries really believe that those who own them derive immense profits from exploiting their employes, why do not the workers buy the industries iu which they nre employed und get the' profits for themselves? . "This question hns been given increased pertinency," continues the Hallway Age, "by the advances in the wages of railway employes which recently hnve been made. The wages now being paid to them amount to nbout $3,000,000,000 n year. The ad vances iu thoir wages granted iu tho recent award of tho Hailrond Labor Board amount to $02000,000 a year. They easily could and should snve this pnrt of their nnmml incomes. Why do they not do this nnd ndopt, say, n co-operative plan, through their labor organizations or otherwise, for acquiring the: ownership of the railroads? They could easily save enough money to do this. rpiIE total par value of railroad stocks -- outstanding lu the hninls tft the public on December 31, 1017, as reported by tho Interstate Commerce Commission, was S()..mi,000,000. The saving by the railway employes of the recent advance iu their wages would give them $U2..000,000 an nually for investment. On this bnsls. if they bought at par they could, by investing all their snvings and their dividends' on their savings in rnihvay stocks, become owners of $:i,4l(0,000,000, or n substantial majority of all the stock outstanding within live years. "But they would not hnvc to pay par. The averago price nt which the stocks of twenty-five large railroad systems were bought and sold in the open market last week wns $,"8.50. Taking this ns the aver age market price at present of the railway stocks outstanding, all the stock could be bought for $:i.851.n0fl.0n0. nnd one-half of it. or enough to give absolute control, could be bought for $1.1)2(1,(100,000. On this basis the railway employes, by saving and invest ing their recent Increngi- iu wages in rnil road stocks, could acquire ownership of a majority of the stock of all the railroads within three years. TF THE co-opcrntue organization which a. we have suggested the employes might form did not wish to invest iu the stocks of nil the railways simultaneously, it could acquire first one railway nnd then another. Tin combined outstanding stocks nt the New York Central uud t!i Pcnnyj Ivimia in the East, nnd the Atchison. Tupeka A Himta Fo nnd the I'nlon Pacific lu the West amount to less than $1 ,-117,000,000. If the employes desired to hcquire control first of thu ownership ami management of only these four great propeitirs they could buj o ma jority of the stoics of all of them at pur with their remit inoicass In wages iu four teen months. "The financial power of the employes of the railways wov'd he enormous if they would but snve a nimpitratlvely smiil! part of their wages ami inc-t them insei-urities. The sume thlnt Is true of the. workers in all other lines of industry. Why should they carry on propaganda to get the public to tax itself to bi,y and turn over to wot king men the management of the industries lu which thev nre engaged whei. it would be easily within the power of the working men to acquire both the ownership and manage ment of nil th industries they nre engaged in if they would oul practice the thrift in their expenditures upon which hus been iMginnlly foutnl the fortune of every man who ever advanced from wnge-earner to capitalist, (ir fiom farmhnud to fanner? If thn opportunities for profit aie so great and woiking men nre so sure that their management of industry would lie n,on efficient thin, that of the capitalists, they , should feel sure thnt if they saved their money nnd bought the capitalists out th-v would have just ns goodn chance of making large profits m the fntute as the t-apltullti would hove. "tVTEVEH was there u time in the history L i of the 1'ulted States when the wages of railway employes nud other woikers were so large in proportion to the prices of rail way arid other sicuritics as they nre now. Never, therefore, were conditions so fuvor nhle for the workers to, acquire llnuni-Iul control of the industries in which thov work, atid show how well thev could manage them. "Of one thing we warn the workers now however. This is, that if they do snve their wnges and invest ns suggested, they will soon find thnt the difficulty of making profits in business nnd the ease of incurring l.,-ies ore much i.rcr.ter than they wow'd ever mis, pect from rending the literature of the Plumb Plnn League nud other Bolshevistic organizations." The two soldiers who were assigned to guitrd Grover Bei-gdoll were swiftly ncqultte' at a court-martial. That Is an it ought to be It wouldn't be pleasant to see enlisted men with 1-lenn records of ninny years in the army subjected to punishment while the people who jobbed them esenped. You have to put two nnd two together nowadays tn get nt the truth. Six months ago Emma Goldman sent secretly to this country n scathing denouncement of the Hussion Bolshevist regime. And now the cables -tell us that on her arrival in Itiissla Miss Goldman wns promptly put to work lu a railway repair gong. Tho Sennte committee cannot be bhuni for refusing to cnll Mr. Cox. The Demo cratic candidate would like nothing better than nn opportunity to make a speech In Washington, where all the reporters would gather to listen. Considering the prospects, it doesn't seem to mnho n great deal of difference how Governor Cox answers those three questions concerning what he would do ns President, Inquiring when the P It.

Daily Talks With Thinking Philadelphia-its on Subjects They Know Best MATTHEW C. BRUSH On Qualities for Leadership"' GOUHAGE, willingness to shoulder re sponsibility nnd n feeling of confidence in himself nre the prime qualities for a suc cessful leadership as seen by Matthew. U Brush, president of the American Interna tional Shipbuilding Corporation, -which made such n wonderful record nt Hog Island during the war. Ability to co-ordinate with his subordinates and to secure teamwork by making them feci that they arc nn important nnd respected part of the general machine arc other important requi sites that he names. "Tho greatest single requisite, in inv opinion, for n mrfn to be o leader," declared Mr. Brush, "is Vie willingness on his part to take responsibility nnd to have confidence in Ills judgment. He must, above all things, be able to handle men successfully, nnd to do this ho must hnve the pow'cr and faculty of compelling their confidence in him. "Successful leadership consists todny in perfect teamwork, and the most successful lender is he who con. with tho power of nnalvsls of men, surround himself with nn organization where there is, between him self nud his associates, a perfect exchange of Ideas, comments nud suggestions, with flic nbilitv on" his part of inviting fice and frank discussion or criticism by the mem bers of his team and then nrrivlug nt n decision which the entire team will under take to carry to a successful issue. "No one man can by himself be a suc cessful chief executive of a large institu tion. He must pick men for their respec tive duties who themselves will create in their divisions n 'subdivision of the team and who must have the confidence of their subordinates as ho has the confidence of his chief executives. "lie must pick men who ore not afraid of responsibility and who have for him not only tremendous respect nnd confidence in his' judgment, but who hold for him also a feeling of affection. He must he able to create an atmosphere of close, Intimate as sociation, where the men nre not only not ufrald or reluctant to come to him. hut feel free to discuss any matters with him frankly expressing their opinion and in tensely nnd earnestly carrjlng out his de cisions. Must Know What to Do "Ho must have for his team men who nre big enough, stroug enough, loyal enough, nblo enough nnd earnest enough to tackle their problems with the ultimate good of the, team ns n whole ns their goul. He must pick men who .work together, who do not think they know it all, and who ore willing at all times to take counsel and advice from thoir associates and subordinates. Above all things, he must pick men who run their jobs nud who come to him with definite, crisp, constructive, well thought out and well explained matters of importance, nnd under no circumstances at any time ever come to him aud ask what thej shall do without a definite idea of their own of whnt should he done. "Leadership today In any large institu tion requires intense application, complete control of one's feelings, the power of analysis of Individuals and, nbov all, the power to moke tho membuis of his team feel nt such ease and feel in such u way toward him thnt they are thoroughly com fortable and frank in their discussion of problems with which they nre confronted. "The greatest leader of men would be he who could succeed without having to issue instructions or orders, but who, in general discussion with the members of his teum us to policy and procedure, could convey to Ills men the genurn"schcme of operation, as well as the specific result to be obtained, aud then have tile respective members of the team carry out the scheme according to their best judgment, coming to him for advice, Counsel or help. "In other words, the successful leader is he who puts himself in a position of en deavoring to help his heads of divisions nud his heads of departments run their jobs in stead of their helping him to run his job. "I have in mind very clearly nn instance of my own experience, where my predeces sor hod so Impressed his subordinates with their subserviency that iu my first inter view with one of them ho spent all his time, all his thought nnd nil his energy thinking on how he should net lu the office and conduct himself to show proper respect to fi superior olllicr, und how he could snv things which would most plcuse mo, witii the result that he had left no thought, time or energy for consideration of the question we were discussing.
