Dependence en state aid nr the generosity of individual benefactors is net enough. An endowment fund obtained through u freperly erganised campaign is the obvious remedy. The Pennsylvania fiasette in a recent issue pertinently suggests that action rather than debate is In order, and calls at tention te the fact that the nucleus of an alumni fund was started in 1B17. But "no publicity was given te it and even the donor forget about it." There is no reason te believe that if a reully enterprising htart were made the graduates or former matriculates of the Uni versity would be less responsive than these f .similar institutions. Once n drhe for Pennvylvanla acquired a little momentum, the chunces of its failure would be exceed ingly remote. At present, promptness in practically realizing demand of a palpable case ia due. A SHRINE'S BIRTHDAY AIniOUOH Christ Church is antedated " by .several ether religious structures in this city, notably the venerable Gleria Del t Weccacee and Trinity Church, Oxford, it yields te few in traditions and historical dis tinction. The week of exerc!scn that bes;an in the gruvely beautiful old edlhce en Second street yesterday is, therefore, worthy of mere than passing recognition. There is inspiration for a variety of temperaments within the shadow of the building where "Washington wewhlped. The anniversary new being eWrved marks the beginning of the l'retestant Episcopal Church in the original city of Penn. Twe hundred and twenty-five years age a modest wooden structure was erected en Second street above Market. The present church was begun in 1727, and It--, spire, long the pride of the city, wui completed in 17M. Fittingly enough, modern progress hns net entirely encreuched upon the undent tower's claims te picturesque dominance. Viewed from the Delaware river, the quaint steeple still exerts Its effective influence en the sky line. The charm of Christ Church is far mere than merely academic or untiquari.m. It is among the prime factors in the intrin sically Intimate appeal of Philadelphia.

Much of the discontent of labor has arisen because employers in tee many instances have regarded a man as merely a tool te be used and cast aside without any retard te hlx rights as a human being. It was in order te pretest against that sort of thing that Congress was Induced te put in a re cent law the explicit declaration that labor i net a commodity. The expression would have been mere precise if it had been said that labor is net merely a commodity, for it is well -known that the pdcc.ef labor fluc tuates with supply and demand just ns the price of wheat fluctuates. The word in the law mean that werhingmen must net be treated ns wheat or ptgiren or brick is treated. The remarks of Mr. Oempers may be re garded as a plea for the establishment of mere humane relations between employers and empleyes, te the end that they may mere intelligently work together te increase production and te ndept improved methods of manufacture. It Industrial friction Is te be decreased it must be by the adoption 'of oeinp auch plan. NEW YORK'S CRAFT MANIA AS A NATIONAL SYMPTOM Te Knew What la the, Matter With the Country, Read the Repert of the Lc-ckwoed Committee Inquiry TN NEW YOnK they are trying once again te find out who runs the town. That is an old, vain quest of the cliff dweller. Hut it haa been given a wider scope for this occasion. It is being carried en te determine whether cities in the United States are capable of self-government or whether they must submit quietly te en slavement by secret tongs erganised vari ously by politicians, profiteers, speculators and labor leadens wiC perverted notions' of the purposes of trades unionism and op erating Independently or In blissful harmony as occasion demand. Fer that purpose the Lockwood commit tee of the New Yerk legislature was or ganized, and for that reason Samuel Untcr rayer volunteered te -erre as champion of the seemingly friendless general public. The sessions of the Ixckwoed committee have net been reassuring. The most recent of them was ut times thrlllingly like a lively afternoon at Smelney Institute and at ether times wildly suggestive of the vust, dark nebulae et a musical comedy, with undrilled and unquiet choruwes'ef labor men, commis sioners, deputy commissioners, lawyers, plumbers, contractors, speculators, grafter, mayors, Tnmmanylten and net -se-merry villagers. There were great moments when the commission seemed te be getting some where. There were ether moments, many of them, when it was impes-lble net te feel that the show should be moved uptown from the City Hall te the Hippodrome nud set te music. Mayer Hylan, a passionate witness, trem bled. He shook. He waved his fists while the crowd murmured thunderously. Mr. Untcrmyer pounded the table and cried that the mayor was necking te make the hearing seem like a beer garden. It wns at that Instant that W. J. Bryan strode in. The not-se-mcrry villagers ap plauded Mr. Bryan. Prohibition is yet afar! These who had been reading the news papers felt sure that the great Chautauquan had come te suggest that Mr. Hylan resign at once in the interest of the peace that was he close te his heart. He did net de that thing. He smiled en through the tumult. And the curtain of night fell while news papers denounced Brlndell, the labor leader, the limestone ring, the plumbers' bund, the Lockwood commission everybody. Alene in a stately way the revered Times gave itself te grief. Ita head was bowed in Its hands. "New Yerk." said the Timri in accent wild, "is humiliated by the humiliation of its mayor. Such a man at the head of edr greutest city ! It did indeed elect htm with full knowledge of hi3 disqualiucatiens, but no one could have expected 1" Such is life in the United States! Mr. Untermycr, an avowed friend of the friendless who could find in New Yerk no adequate shelter, set out te prove that spec ulators and profiteers In the building ma terial market had erganised a corner te keep prices permanently near tbe moon. His first questions, directed at witnesses sum moned by the Lockwood committee, brought down a landslide of testimony that has hid den, perhaps for all time, the original pur pose of the inquiry. Members of the chorus have besought these in front of them te give wnj in order that they mlht "smash Mr. L'ntermyer en the nose." Mr. Hylan arrived with certificates et character. Much of the testimony has been passionately declaimed like n speech. But the case has rumbled en and in the very middle of it, as the most significant figure of all, looms a man named Brlndell. Brlndell was the man te see if you had a construction job en hand. He hud a magic wuv of starting and stepping strikes. It was Brlndell who could give you peace, If you were a builder. And it was Brlndell who gave workmen permission te work. If you didn't see Brlndell your men might quit at any time. If you did see him, ether union men discriminated against by Brlndell might make serious trouble. One i...ii,i..- feititied that in1 paid Brlndell .,'12,000 as part of a $.10,000 fee demanded fr strike insurance. That didn't greatly matter. The contract was being carried out en the cost-plus system rind the money was written down with preliminary expenses. Brindell was net alone. Plumbers could net plumb in New Yerk unless they diverted neme et their profits te ether plumbers in the contracting business, who steed aside as spectators and as units in n system devised secretly te eliminate competitive bids. And there was a limi stone ring that hus made endless trouble for Mr. riyian. A great many school buildings are in course' of erection in New Yerk, nnd they were te have been built with tcrru-cetU. Limestone was substituted after tbe limo lime limo steue ring had directed n terrific drive at the mayor. In this drive stonecutters, con tractors, sculptors, bricklayers and ethers v.ere actively interested. The substitution rout the city $250,000. Mr Hylan waved a letter which, he said, proved 'that he had ordered the change en th advice of an expert The expert was culled and questioned He suld he was net an expert en llniertein- ny one who is interested in the progress of American cities toward the far-distant enl of real self-government ought te find the reports of the Lockwood committee hear ings enlightening.

Workmen, who knew nothing of the way in which they and their organisatiens were being used, could net work Until Brlndell issued orders. Builders could net build in n geed many Instances without consulting ether builders. Contractors were forced by threats from ether contractors nnd from ft few labor leaders into monopolistic rings te limit bidding and boost profits te the sky. The newspapers in New Yerk have been weeping in print because the mayor was made, the unconscious tool of this general system en mere thun one occasion. Se the question ns it finally must affect the public is ene et administrative honesty and skill in depart ments of government established te protect the people against limitless exploitation. Mr. Untermycr has said mere than once that he has only touched the surface et an entirely new field. But he has gene far enough in New Yerk te prove again and in a new way the appalling inefficiency of mu nicipal government in areas under the con trol of political cliques. Because Hylan was inefficient, because conventional lawa against bribery and the restraint et trade and dangerous conspiracy were systemati cally violated under the noses of officials, men who wanted te work were prevented from working and people who needed houses te lire in could net have houses built. The worst of the situation which the Lockwood committee has exposed is that it is quite as destructive te legitimate industry nnd business as it is te the integrity and reputation et trades unionism. The unions themselves were net involved. The blame rests solely en labor leaders who made dishonest and selfish uses et their authority. Honest contractors who fought the system of which Brindell was a part were threatened with ruin by less henest1 men in the same business. Before the Lock Leck Lock weed hearings were started the building trades of New Yerk were threatened with complete control by nn interlocking system of contractor-labor-speculator groups. Monopolistic control has been such In this new field as te limit or prevent millions of dollars' worth of new construction work. It remains te be seen new whether the legislative commission, the labor organixa erganixa organixa tiens and tbe builders who seek te keep their business en a legitimate footing can find a way back te normal conditions. Tbe Fed eration of Laber will have te be Brlndell Brlndell Brlndell proef if it wishes te retain the public sym pathy, without which it cannot cxlet. New Yerk and ether cities like it will have ie be Hylaii-proef if graft of new and old sorts, possible under deficient administrative sys tems, Is net te continue te, make life hard or intolerable for the masses of the people. WHAT IS MONEY tyORTH? s HEItlFF LAMBEItTON'S suggestion thnt the law be amended Ke as te permit money-lenders te charge K per cent interest for leans en real estate mortgages need net be dismissed with contempt. The sheriff has sensed the fact that there is a market value for money just as there is for every ether commodity. Its price varies with the fluctuation of the supply and of the demand. But In Pennsylvania we have a law which arbitrarily fixes the maximum price which may be charged. Everybody knows, however, that the law Is evaded. At the present lime it ia understood that the usual fee charged for securing mortgage money is 10 per cent. This amount paid for securing a five-year lean at (J per cent will bring the annual interest charge up te 8 per cent, tbe figure which the sheriff sug gests shall be fixed by law as the maximum. His preposition opens up the question of the wisdom of fixing any arbitrary price for the use of money. There are theorists who Insist that it is a mistake, and they argue that the interest laws, no matter what pen alties may be fixed for their violation, de net prevent men with money from getting for its use such a price ns the demand for it Justifies them In charging. In all but ten of the states the fluctuating value of money Is recognized in the Interest laws. A "legal" rate is fixed and a con tract rate Is provided for, in some cases double the legal rate. In Ohie, for example, lenders may charge 8 per cent by contract, whereus If no Tate is specified in a mort gage or in a note the rate is 0 per cent. In Minnesota the contract rate is 10 per cent, and in Idaho and New Mexico, Seuth Da kota, Utah, Washlngteu and Wyoming it Is 12 per cent. In seven btatcs, including California, Massachusetts and Hhede Island, there is no limit en the rate which may be paid by agreement between the lender and the borrower. New Yerk nnd Pennsylvania are among the states which permit no rate higher than 0 per cent te be charged, forcing the lender te resort te the subterfuge of asking a com mission for obtaining the money when the market price is higher than the legal rate. In New Yerk, however, there is a special prevision made for the convenience of the stock exchange which permits the lender te charge any rate he pleases for call leans in excels of 95000 when secured by collateral. The lack of such a law in P.nnsylvan a work, te the detriment et the UdalphU Stock Exchange and the local brokers, and tends te draw local money te New Yerk -v- .W. 1. a brisk demand for cash there. The Pennsylvania law, however, was nassed after consideration of the arguments for "ad against permitting a higher rate of Merest b, contract. If tfc argument, which convinced the legislature are .til Regarded as valid, the sheriff's euggestlen of nn 8 per cent rate will be thrown out. But ?f the preposition ia presented te it in due form it is kely hBt- w" bc,R IT condcratien et the whole question in the light of the knowledge new available.

By BAItAH D. LOWItlE I WAS listening ie n very interesting Socialist Rpeech the ether day"at-of all places in the world the ballroom of the Acorn Club I Naturally, it was het made te the Acorn Club, but te a group et persons who had rented the rooms for a luncheon; and as a .guest I sat back and "took notice." The speaker reeled off a list of some score of organisatiens nd businesses new run by private corporations (that 'the Beclnllst party planned should Boeneror later ie taken ever by the state. ' X wondered hew the stntfc could -eveT be get te realize the .necessity for certain 'in stitutions without tbe enlightening 'process of private experimentation 'and investment. After all, the state cannot move any futter than its slowest constituent parts. Yeu have te prove te tbe' state a thing is necessary or will pay before tbe state will feet the bill for it. And hew-can you de that unless you have tried 'it and made it Py? THERE is the great matter of .Secial serv ice i Fer years, for generations, the state or the city has provided 'funds te nin the hospitals, insane wards, asylums',' the houses of correction or detention or protection with out seeing the necessity et fellow-up work for discharged patients or prisoners, or 'for supervising work in the homes te which these wards of the city 'return when 'they are discharged, or from which they come when they bTeak down morally or physically or both. Private hospitals, net state, invented and tried out social service, viz., visiting the homes of patients and visiting discharged patletftSi Private funds were invested te support the nurses who went te conva lescents, the visitors who kept track of help less nttie famines wneae breadwinner was laid up," and the agents who re-established the crinnle in a new trade or the discharged criminal in a new life ,or the broken-down "has-been" into n'lesa strenuous lob. Philadelphia is a geed deal made fun of for being se philanthropic. The truth is, if the government were mere patcrhal'the pri vate citizen would net have te be se ma ternal. But even go, the government would never have instituted any real social service anywhere in its public institutions unless the despised philanthropists had proved that it actually saved public money in the end te save convalescents from, becoming chronic invalids and delinquent boys and girls from becoming confirmed criminals and fever pa tients from worrying about home troubles and paroled psychopathic patients from run ning amuck and relapsing into insanity. I SAW last year an Interesting and In structive experiment tried out by private philanthropy te prove te1 the Department of Health that the discharged patients from the psychopathic wards of the Philadelphia General Hospital could be immensely bene fited and in many cases permanently bene fited by judicious nfte'r-cnre, such 'as the hospital ut present lias no means of pro viding. This experiment was tried out at the re quest of the then director of public health, Dr. Krusen. and of the alienist in charge of the psychopathic divisions of the Phila delphia Hospital, Ir. Jacksen, and It was continued with the approbation of Dr. Fur bush until, te the minds of the' experts con cerned, the case was well proved. A patient who has been mentally ill and consigned te Bleckley, and who recovers sufficiently te warruut discharge from the wards, is paroled for 120 days, returning te the hospital for observation at set intervals. 'After that period the case wus practically lest sight of until a relapse brought the sub ject back te tbe hospital. After a certain number of relapses the patient would prob ably be tee irresponsible te be allowed any intervals of freedom and would be assigned te the chronic wards for the hopelessly In sane. That, ut least, was the history of hun dreds of casTs 'in the course of years which was why the siatc insane asylums were se overcrowded and why the psychopathic wards at A place like Bleckley were te a painful extent feeders of the insane wnrds. fTtflE Farmington Clinic u psychopathic X clinic which Is supported by the alumnae of the Farmington Scheel and Is under the supervision et alienists of high standing aud wide experience undertook from November 1 of last year te April 1 of this year te visit and generally keep under supervision the discharged patients from the psycho pathic wards of the Philadelphia General Hospital, familiarly known a. Bleckley. This supervision was te begin after the 120 days the patient had been paroled, when under normal circumstances he .would be discharged ns cured. Of the US cases whose names were given by the hospital te the clinic, only a pertl.m needed constant supervision. One hundred and fifty visits were paid te the homes of these ceftvnlesclpg patients, however, and In many instances, owing te the quick recogni tion of the trained worker, dangerous re lapses were forestalled by prompt measures te relieve the patient from overstrain cither in his surroundings or his occupation or his physical complications. In some cases his complete recovery would have been im possible under his surrounding circum stances. In ether cases instruction in simple proc esses of psychiatric home nursing by the clinic seclaj service secretary changed the unfavorable conditions completely. MISS JATHO, who, under Dr. Seymour Ludlum, carries out the clinic regimen for patients In their homes, Is a woman of experience in the treatment of mental defec tives both as a teacher and as an inves tigator. ' She was one of these employed by the . nt Indiana te make a survey for the government of the state defectives. She was also laboratory assistant in the Ylneland Scheel for Defectives In tbe state of New Her'werk, of course, for the Farmlnxten clinic under the expert direction that hns, been available there has tremendously widened her experience. Cases from mere than seventy sources schools, hospitals, in stitutions, physicians come te the clinic for Last year the clinic treated 420 cases of mental or nerve diseases. There are listed en the files 020 office calls for the year and 801 visits te patients In their homes. Of tbe 115 of these which were cases in vestigated at the request of the Philadelphia General Hospital after the parole was ever, the following table gives nn account which throws an interesting light en the whole subject. The cost of maintaining the clinic for all the year brings each patient's cost te about $1 n visit. This, of course, does net include the diagnosis of the doctor, all suVh service being a gift te the clinic as well as te the patient. The point Is, without pri vate aid this particular clinical social service te tbe state could net have been Initiated yet new that it Is proved practical could well be taken ever by the city for the hospital.

CORNILIU8 WEYQANDT On English Literature of Today IF ALL were as well with the world today in ether th(nffVaatt is-with the English novel, poem and ey there would net be cause for a great deal of concern, accord ing te Dr. Cornelius Weygandt. professor et English literature at the University of ennsylyanla. v v "Ak life present time we have every reason te be well pleased With the literary achieve ments et today' said Dr. Weygandt. "We hare such men as Themas nardy I ana Josepn uesrea icaareg tee novelists. Hardy net only classes as our greatest nov elist at the age of eighty, but is also most universally acclaimed by English scholars an one of our greatest poet. Cenrad s Arrew. of Geld' is a. big a piece of work as any dene In the palmiest days of litera ture. Jehn Masefleld and W. B. Yeates may fairly rank as high as the Chancers and Pecs of ether ages, while W. II. Hud Hud eon, with his out-of-doers essays, will com pare favorably with the great essayists of any ether period. 'Three Masterpieces In Year "Think of last year, for instance, bring ing te the literary world three such master pieces as Cenrad'B 'Arrew of Geld,' Hud Hud eon's 'Far Away and Leng Age' and Mono Meno Mone field's 'Reynard the. Fex.' The latteT, a narrative poem describing an English fox hunt, stands as a symbol of the life of the English countryside. Masefleld has also written 'Right Royal,' a steeplechase poem that is particularly timely in view of the ascendancy of our great racing horse, Man O War. . "Our dramatic achievements have net been en se-high a plane. Fer instance, al though I place Jehn Galsworthy as our first dramatist, that does net necessarily give him unusual credit. The English drama, unfor tunately, has. net reached the heights of the present-day great English novel, poem or essay. i "In fact, in the last decade or se I have failed te note the rise of a- singld great dramatist in English literature. Certainly" we have nobody who begins te approach the heights reached by Ilendrlk Ibsen. Seme may quarrel with me in placing Galsworthy at the top and ignoring Hhuw, But art in playwritlng, as I sec' it, does net He in the field of propaganda, and this is HhawVi weakness. Mr. GalsweTthy conforms te this requirement, as he is new beginning te bdew us life as It is in 'The Skin Game.' He knows the life of the countryside and the English gentlemnn, and he reveals It as it is. Shaw does net reveal life, but tries te make it better, nnd therefore is net a great realist. "But speaking of poets, we cannot afford te neglect Rebert Frest, who, te my mind, is an American lyricist of the first impor tance. I would class him along with Emer Emer eon, Pee, Whitman and Emily Dickinsen as one et our leading poets of all time. Recognition Came Late 'Jit was net until he wrote Mb volume under the title of 'North of Bosten,' which, by the way, was first recognized by a British Eubllsher, that he get the recognition due Im. As an example of perseverance he should be stimulating, when you consider that he wrote from the time he was fifteen years old until he had passed his thirty eighth milestone before any response from the publishers or the public. It also ac centuates the fact that 'a prophet Is net without honor,' as it will be recalled that Thackeray and Curlylc received their first recognition in this country. "There Is a real message In Frest. Hew could one tense that lack of fellowship and understanding that exlsu between many of us better than In his line, 'Something there is that doesn't lack a wall'? Or In his 'Old Man's Winter Tale' : 'Light there was te no one but himself,' probably the most desolate line iu English literature. Hew mere aptly could the making of a man be described than In a recent poem when he sums It up in the line, 'A decent product of life's Ironing out In presenting the life of the New England countryside he has succeeded in presenting the life of all America. "But as I said before, the drama is fe below form. There Is nobody new within hailing distance et Ibsen, Yet we arc all drama crazy. There probably has never been a time when it has been se much the case as new. Nearly every one either gees te the drama or tries te write it, "Te my mind playwrights, just like ether writers, are born, net made, Superior achievements, In literature are the work et Individuals and de uet.deDend Milling j AbTCaitntsv Dstaply hatyetA ths,t one ege XkBSSSSSSSsKalSBSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSv 1 THE LAS?

"Walt Whitman had the right idea when he said in effect thnt it was net se much great artists we were developing as great audiences. The 'colleges are helping consid erably In this work, and it possibly presages n mere comfortable future for writers. -This is the one distinct advance made by English literature. But even at that, every new writer is confronted with the task of creatr ing a taste for tbe enjoyment, of the things which he has done. Bew te Tradition "Treditien'and the past held our enthusi asms and our judgments In check and bring us back te our youth end the youth of the world's achievements. After all, there Is nothing new under the sun. People, despite material changes, arc much the same under neath as they always were. "Hudsen, although new nearly eighty years old, says 'everything that matters te me 'happened before I was fifteen years of age, in his biography published iu 1010. Wordsworth has written, 'Heaven is near est In infancy.' Yeates says, 'When I was n boy I had never a crack in my heart; why can't you take things easy?' which Geerge Meredith has characterised as a real reading et life. Masefleld sas, 'The days that make Us happy ranke:us wise.' "If perhaps 'takes age te sec youth prop erly. As children and young men and women we take life seriously and hard. Somehow we have a hard time in living during that period. But as the days and years go en we sec things mere clearly and take them mere easily. "Tradition, however, always holds us. As I read Masefield I can sec Chaucer. Iu the poetry of W. H. Davles I find Rebert Hcrrlck. Tradition is the great balance wheel of life." What De Yeu Knew?
