Hemes te accommedati the population DEADLOCK AGAIN rnHE bisis of the bickering which resulted A In tne postpeneinciit of the election of superintendent of public schools by the Beard of Educutiep yesterday can bnrdly be called germane te n fair consideration of the subject in hand. The Iwanl split upon the question of whether or net the head of the school sjstem here should he n ITiIladelpliian, the special committee having recommended Dr. Harry I'.ruce Wilsen, of Berkeley, Calif. During the mouth that will iutervene before another meetitig is held, the public will have an opportunity te ponder en the part intrinsic merit should piny in the nomi nation. In theory nt least that is the prime qnallflcatlen. .Should the beard decide te Bwkc It secondary te facts of residence, the taxpayer will be helpless, hut he will at least have a clear Insight into the tnelhnda of a body which is rapidly losing its claim en popular favor. Regarding the salary for such a highly (responsible pest as that of chief educational executive here, it is fortunate that the heard bU decided that it shall be $12,000 a year. DANGEROUS PRECEDENT 4tfSCE it is asNtired that any cause which meets with the sympathy of Council can be aided by the city's money, there will be no end te the demands made upon the treasury." This is the root of Councilman Develln's objection te the expenditure by the city of $15,000 te defray the expenses of the Philadelphia nthletcs at the Olyinpic tames. That the logic displayed is sound cannot be fairly denied. Sentiment, which seems te have he strongly functioned in the passage of the appropriation bill, has nothing ut all te i de with the principle invuhed. The oflleiel debts of the Philadelphia dele gations at Antwerp should, of ceutm', hne been settled. Mr. Develin, in his letter urging Controller Undley net te pay out the money, offers te be one of 100 persons te gire 5100 each te make up the dcficii'ujy. If some such movement hud been duly launched earlier Council would have been saved from trying te establish a dnngrreus precedent. Up te tills point the tuxpuyers were protected by the decisions against de frayment by the muuicipulitj of the fumeus Uammcrsteln dinner and the hi-tericnl pageant some years age in Pnirrneuiit Park. Beth these cnuw's weic admirable in them selves, but net lawfully objects of council -manic appropriation. If the courts should lake up the present ease it is difficult te see hew a reiteration of former opinions could be avoided. Tin Issue is net between niggardliness nnd gen gen ereslty. but supposed public safeguards and leflslativc recklessness. RIVER FRONT NECESSITIES EXPERTS in any field ere seldom back ward in the nrt of special pleading. In fala zeal for the improvement of file protec tion along the river front, Lieutenant Jeseph P. Rewc, of the flrebeat Htuart, has con sequently outlined a highly elaborate pro pre grant of reform. His requests include the purchase of submarine-chaser tvpe craft for patrol service, nn auxiliary high pressure station, the equipment of all police beats With fire equipment and the placing of all peltce and fire beats under one head. Obviously net all of these relief incisures Oan be Instantaneously applied, but en the Whole It is u geed thing for u case te be billy stated. It Is net te be disputed that river-front Are protection here is incommensurate with Ue vastly increased uctlvlties of this pert &r that a season of geed luck has diverted attention from the needs of the situation. The Mayer nnd Director Rpreule, who are new considering the Howe suggestions, con tained in a letter presented by Councilman Cans, have, of course, been aware of the facts. Of the changes recommended one of the rnest appealing is the placing of the police tnd Arc beats under single command It would seem that the fusion of authority would net be difficult te work out. Berne ether Inuovutlens must wait en seuncllmanic appropriations. At any rate, Ova public may rest assured that Mr. Moere, tt sptcialist himself in harbor and waterway fcubjects, will de bis utmost te rectify inade quacies te which Lieutenant Howe has called timely attention, AN ATROCIOUS CRIME TTIE'W deliberate homicides huve involved se eV, many shocking details as the murder hf the bank messenger Paul in Camden. And It is net surprising te find thut the rwllce have established a connection between t crime of almost unexampled brutality and no grubby "bungalows" that have beeU in the past matters of concern te thp police and be general public In some of the obscure narte of New Jersey. An extraordinarily Slcleua sort of underworld life, vvuieh Is all the mere revolting because It has been made inviting te boys and girls of respectable fam jiim flourishes at Intervals In hut colonies S'"'.. t.a (. mm) nart bv teuah yeumr letaim eav i,.ftv.eiwl resorts reasonably BO DW,'n.--;- - M laierierente. euly because of its singular brutality nnd its strangeness, but because it led finally te an almost uncanny demonstration of the law of retribution. If two hunters had net been forced out of all beaten tracks in the weeds of Ilurlingteii county the men guilty of the murder might never have been brought te book. It is hard te believe that a man could be murdered In bread daylight, In a tide of trnluV ami almost under the e.ves of police men in a btis.v stieet. Hut that is hew Paul was klllrd. In the end it probably will be shown that his murderers were cither ihtiiik or under the influence of reiue of the viler substitutes for whisky. A great deal of credit belongs te the Camden county detectives, The case pie sentcd te them when the disappearance of the bank mrsseiijjer was luvt reported cir talnly was as badling as any of the Hys terics that surround the Innumerable un explained homicides in our large cities. The Camden police have nn excellent reason new for cleutiing out tiie isolated hut and boat beat house colonies that lu recent jcuis have be come centers of iiuinernlit) and lawlessness. MAYOR MOORE STANDS FIRM; NO ARMISTICE FOR VARES Se Leng as Contractor Besses Retain a Trace of Power There Can Be Ne Truce In the Fight Against Them rTUIK attention of the Vine and antl-Vare -1- leaders who have been talking about harmony is directed te the exposition of the situation by Colonel McCain, printed in this newspaper .vesterday afternoon. In that article It was announced that "it makes no difference what any political leader or combination of leaders may de, the Moere administration will net enter new, or in the future, into any coalition, dicker or deal with mi) of them." It was further said that "the Ma.ver will net enlj net enter into such un Prraiigement, hut he will net even quietly acquiesce or 'go along' as a silent partner." And when Colonel McCain wrote "I knew this absolutely." these familiar with his ability te get at the facts will accept his statement as an accurate transcript of the mind of the Mayer. The beauty of the situation lies in the logic of the Majer's position. He entered the primary campaign pledged te bring an end te contractor government. He announced time after time that if lie were nominated and elected the seat of citv .. , , . .., Kevcruineiu weuiu ne transierreii irem nn office building in I'enn square te (lie City Hall nnd that citlens who wished te de business with the local administration would discover that it was useless te go anywheic else than te the City Hall itself. On that platform he was nominated in the primaries by the votes of the members of his party, and en that platform he was elected. The public nieinnrj is short, but tin pint form nnd the pledges have net jet been for gotten. If the Majer should new enter into u deal with the contractor faction of the party in order te secure harmony he would forfeit the respect of these who voted for him in the primaries and lese the confidence of tens of thousands of the best citizens. Hut there i8 no evidence that he will betray his supporters quite the ceutrarj . When a candidate was te be nominated last spring te succeed him lu Congress he used nil his influence te secure the nomina tion of u n nnti-Vnre man. The anti-Vare laudidntc was defeated ut the primniies. but by se narrow a margin that the leg.ilitj of the nomination was disputed. The result was a moral victory for the Majer and his friends. When a successor te a Ynre member of the Civ ''euncil wns te be elei led this fall be anil "his friends indorsed the candidacy of a representative citizen of the l-'ir-t dis trict. Their candidate wns defeated, but they wen another moral victerj. for the.v cut down the majority in the pint of the citv where the Vures are the strongest' from the ''!.000 secured bv the Vnre lundidntc last j ear te about 7000 this jear. What thce two inntests meant was evi dent te the Vnrcs They saw their power slipping awaj fiem them, and Ihej have been making disperate efforts te save sonic thing from the wreckage. Their chairman of the Republican cit.v committee began at once te talk about harmenv. This was no time for differences in the pnrtj. lie Kit -neuilied. All dlffciences should be forgot ten, se thut things might vveik snioethlj . Hut all discerning observers knew that I his was like the under deg in a tight saying that the light had Listed lung enough and that it was lime for the upper deg te quit. Hut we gather fnun various indications that the Ma.ver is net .1 quitter, and we knew that he js net the under deg just new. His own success in the primaries hist jear and the drubbing that his fiieinK have given te the Vnrcs in the two contest, this jear justifj him in determining te knp up the lie'ht. He can legicnllv de nothing else. Hut suppose harmony should be arranged ever his head, what could he de then? se one may nkk. It may be well te consider for .1 moment hmv such harmeiij would be brought about. It is a matter of common talk that icrtaui "friends" of the Mayer are dissatisfied because he will net (eusent te the opening of gambling houses, te lie pietected en con dition of generous contributions toward the financial support of the political erguni.a- tieii. The Majer has heard that talk and. if we mistake net, he knows the men who are charged with seeking polite pretei tien for tlie illegal resorts. The plan could lint safely he put ever without the lensent of tin- politicians who are milked as the enemies of the Majer. It is conceivable that these "friends" and his enemies may combine against the Majer in an effort te force him Id come te terms with them. Thej control votes in the Cilj Ceuncil: and with that contiel could ble k the plans of the administration, if their plans should carry. Hut the Mayer has a weapon mere power ful than any which n corrupt combination can use against him. It is the weapon of pub licitj , as we have remarked en a previous occasion. A union ever his head of the fac- lienalihta of the opposition and th miner- cialists among his "fiiends" would be held together by a rope of sand. All he would have te de would be te say thai so-and-se eud so-and-se, naming the men had thient eued te obstruct everything he wns trj I in to de if he did net come le terms with them, naming the terms. The moment he did this the guiltj conspiruteis would run te cover s0 quickly that sharp ejes would be needed te see their tails as they scuniid into their holes. The puniest heart, defjing such cioolied cieolied cioelied ncss, is stronger than till the kings, as some one has said in 11 diffeienl 1 ounectieii. The people have confidence lu I he hene.ty of Ma.ver Moere. They willl'iick him in cverj light ugalnst the forces of evil Ne Lombinatlen against him cnu be made strong enough te defeat Ills purposes in the long run, be long 113 110 remains true u tne pledges he itulile tqltlie people, He will net tsfiscnt te a partnership EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER between protected vice nnd the police, nnd he has set his face against any dealings with these political forces here which sus tained' tlie system under which fnvercd con tractors made exorbitant profits through their control of the appointment of the men who inspected their work. He still has the confidence of the men who rallied te his support because they wanted te put nn end te the scandalous practices of past administrations, practices which culminated in the election of n mayor who profited bj the dealings of his own firm with the city and with men who did bus iness with the "J!y. It was te destiny this system root and Diancli flint the people levelted last year. Its reliitroductlen in anj form and under tin j pretext Is intolerable. It would be better for the Majer te cut loose from men who have been posing as his friends than te retain their support nt the price of con senting te their plans. Prem the mere selfish pelilitul point of view it would be the wisest thing he could de. There are 110 rewards in the gift of the people tee great for them le confer en a man who makes a heroic fight against the crookedness, and self-seeking of practicnl politicians. Hut t lie Majer is expected te continue in the course en which he hns begun, net be cause it iimj menu political advancement, but because it is right. DOCTORED HISTORY "COMPLAINT about real or imagined de- feels iu written history is net n new tiling. People who believe that they have discovered it new attempt te introduce n pre- Iritiih note into Ameiiceu school books and efforts te put 11 new complcien en the gen eral narrative of the Revolution have only touched the surface of a linger question that in late j cars has interested and disturbed tunny minds. v Historians of all sorts nud of all lauds are blamed prepeily enough for much of the artlilclally created hatred and many of the deep-rooted misunderstandings that lead te wars, l'ew men writing with and for the mind of 11 particular country or even n par ticular section of a country lire able te be without bias, and net n few of the historians whose names nre household words in Kurepe and America have net hesitated te write of the exploits of their own people without any effort te de justice te ethers. If the American child in school believes that Americans alone arc brave, chivalrous and patrietic: if the Hnglish child believes that only Englishmen knew hew te light and nile; if the western world has grown up with the delusion that Orientals are barbaiians fitted enlj te serve the white mnn : if Un peoples of various lands learn in their ten derest youth te hate and suspect ether na tions of people who, In fact, are quite with out blame, it is largely because of the habit of men te write their own prejudices into the narrative of human endeavor which Is printed histerj. Whoever tries te locate the sources of jingoism mid of war fever and the passions that send nations groping for each ether's threats cannot long overlook these history books which have a conven tional appeal te 1111ti011.il vanity and a trick of gleilfymg only what their writers think ought te be glorious. The great defect of almost all historical writing springs from tne in lect In the human mind which makes impartial judgment dif ficult in nay period of bent and crisis. There is no icasen why nations should consecrate themselves te hatred iiewadajs because of the cruelties, the stupidities and the errors of gevcriiinnts nnd kings that have been dust for WO jcais or mete.

THE HARDING TACT AGAIN THE acute sense of the dramatic and pii -luresque which is a iniishleialile pint of the ihuru'ter endowment of the Amer ican people eicasiiinally serves In becloud some extremely simple truths. Hence the tale that Senater Harding's vacation near the Mcxiian frentn r is te be enlivened with an interview with ileiieriiL, Ohrcgen. speculations as le what the pre jeeted Piimiuia trip "means" and the 1 tip of rumors 1 unci ruing imagined leiifennces in the near flltllie between the sue. cssful Republican candidate and feieign emissaries. As :i mnller of fuct, the President te-be has earned a vacation nnd intend,, te take one. It is guileful evidence of hi.i tact and tested uihmlty that he contend d hlliielf vestcidaj with the statement that lie hail iiiiule no ariangenienls for discussing new policies with diplomatists.

His generosity and practical Ideals have added greatly In pnst years te the hupp! ness nud pleasure of thousands. Am president of the Art Alliance he is just new devoted te arousing a greater pub lic Interest in the drama, whose educational vnlue he believes Is net appreciated as it slieuld be. A kindred organization te the Art Alli ance is the Plays mid I'lnjers, of which Mrs. Hll. K. Price Is president. Within the next few days the two or ganizations will meet nt a luncheon for mu tual interchange of ideas and the advance ment of suggestions along lines in which both organizations arc interested. 0NK of the subjects te be discussed will be that of 11 municipal theatre. The basic idea, Dr. Woodward tells me. Is net se much te secure co-operative aid from the city ns te secure recognition of plans that exist new only in a tentative way in the minds of n number of well-to-de citizens who arc interested in the subject and who, doubtless, will be willing te lend substantial aid toward the establishment of such an institution. Music, ns Dr. Woodward jmlnts out, hns secured a permanent recognition In this city te nn extent that places Philadelphia in the front rank as 11 musical center. On the ether hand, se far as the theatre and drama are concerned, Philadelphia stands en the same dead level as ether great cities. The community theatre. Dr. Woodward believes, is destined te become one of the conspicuous features of city life in the course of a generntleu. Its educational power, when directed into proper channels, iq being recognized mere nnd mere each year. The drawback beie beie beie tofere in nttempts te establish a municipal theatre, most of which projects have failed, hns been due te a combinetiftn of circum stances, the leading ones being failure of proper financial support and lack of popular Intel est because of misunderstanding. Dr. Woodwind believes that the oppor tunity new presents itself te 1'hilndclphians le take the lead in demonstrating te the country that a municipal theatre is net only fensible.but eminently practical and worthy of the indersement and encouragement of municipal authorities. ClIDVAUKU C. C. A. P.AI.DI, who has recently returned from one of his peri odical visits te his bojheod home in Italy, is quite optimistic ever conditions in the beautiful peninsula. The romance of the chevalier's life is jet te be told. Viewing .Italy though Amciicnn ejes, .Air. ISiilili is inclined te icgiird recent events thut have followed in the vt drill war's train in a hopeful light. "While I cannot say (hat there has been exaggeration abroad of prevailing condi tions, there is a tendency te view them with a gloomy outlook ou the part of the Italian people. "It is meiely the icsult of Italy's effort te icadjiisl herself te changed conditions that followed the war. Every European na tion is experiencing .flu- same unpleasant but mere or les unavoidable state of affairs. "Italy is passing through the fire new and in the end will eineige.
