J . 1H1 BRIDGE PROSPECTS RECOGNITION of the city's interest in the Delaware bridge undertaking is ap propriately made by Governor Sprout in hi appointment of the President of Council, Richard Weglein, to the commission. Thomas J. Jeffries and Samuel M. Vau daln, tho other two new additional mem bers. ,are high-type men, although in the easo of the latter he approaches the ques tion of the bridge's location with .irccon celred and fixed opinions. Coming at this time, however, the nomi nations are likely to exert little effect upon recommendations of tho bridge engineers concerning cither the character of tho tructurc or the sito to be favored. SpcciSc raggestions on these points are said to have beenaalrcady decided upon and will be for mally made to the commission one week from today. Public hearings on the program proposed will follow. This is the right way to approach this Important project. Special pleaders aro often narrow in their vision, but in a matter of such general interest tliey have a full right to explain and to justify as much as possible their particular outlooks. Speed in the bridge work is desirable, but 'equally needed is a careful balancing of values to the end that the mutual interests of two States and two cities will be moat equitably and proportionately served. PUBLIC SPIRIT AT ITS BEST CIVIC consciousness can hardly fail to be stimulated by the recognition of service which is the admirable prlnclplo underlying Edward Bok's generous gift to Philadelphia. The broad basis on which the 10,000 prize award Is to bo made annually altogether eliminates any suggestion of materialistic competition. The Nobel Prize rules have been similarly elastic, with the consequence that civilization has inspiringly been en abled to take stock of those human factors which do it the moU honor. Mr. Bok makes the discreet stipulation that in case no signal service during the year has been noted, no award will be made and the money will be devoted toward free scholarships In ten educational institutions la the metropolitan or suburban area. The Philadelphia Award, as it is called, is an exhibition of the kind of public spirit which no community can have in excess. Tho need now is for Phlladelphians to measure up to the high standard set by one of the city's most tireless benefactors. GETTING NERVOUS TtHE remarks of Frank C. Hccse, n coal JL expert of Pottsville, indicate that tho mine owners are beginning to feel the effects of the widespread dissatisfaction with coal prices. Representatives of the owners have been In Pottsville looking over the situation. Just what they concluded after their in quiries has not been announced, but it is admitted that they arc disturbed by the outlook. They have reason to be nervous. The people aro in no mood to continue to pay $15 a ton for coal. If that price is not reduced they will demand drastic measures of same kind. The situation is becoming almost as grave as that which existed when President Roosevelt interfered through his commission. The trouble now is not a strike and the cessation of mining. It is prohibitive prices. - x IN PRISON AT LAST PERSONS impatient with the law's delay will read with aatisfaction that William 8. Lelb, former political boss of Schuylkill County, has at last been put inside the walls of the Eastern Penitentiary after conviction of the charge of forging State tax receipts. The attempt to keep I.cib out of prison has been going on successfully since Decern - f-v-ber, 1010. After his conviction an appeal was taken, but it was denied by an the courts in the State. I.cib's lawyers then sought to get the United States Supreme Court to intervene. The prosecuting attor ney objected vigorously to any further delay in tho execution of the sentence, and Judge Smtb, of the Quarter Sessions Court, prop erly refused a stay, with the result noted above. A Jury of bis peers found I.eib guilty. Tho higher courts have refused- to set aside the verdict. Under the circumstances prison is the proper place for him.

'- HOW TO MAKE A DOLLAR GET BACK ITS OLD VAi-UE As Soon as More Work la Done for a Hundred Cents on the Railroads and Elsewhere Business Will Improve TUIEItB is more involved in the reduction JL of tile wages of railroad men than a saving of 1400,000,000 a year to the rail roads. That saving is considerable, but the rail road presidents say that it is not enough. Wages were raised 1000,000,000 a year ago. The roads win be required to continue to pay 1200,000,000 of this amount under the new award. They will bo relieved on July 1, however, of the burden of the so-called national agree ments, under which unskilled labor has in some instances been drawing 997 a week and under which the aums pajd to me chanics have been doubled and trebled and even quadrupled under the operation of a. nils which required threo men to do what under the old rulo one man was accustomed to do. There will be immense savings when the old custom is restored. These savings, com bined with the reduction in the rate of pay, will relieve the railroads. But whether they will relieve them to such an extent that there can be a reduction in freight and pas senger rates is not yet known. It is a reduction in rates which the public wants and should get as soon as possible with safoty to the stability of the roads. The abrogation of the national agreements and the reduction in wages are tho result of an effort to adjust the railroads to the changed economic condition of the country. Money was plentiful and prices were high during the war. It was necessary to raise the wages of tho railroad men in order to enable them to live according to their usual standard, and it was necessary to increase the freight nnd passenger rates to enable tho roads to pay the Increased wages. But the rotes were not raised cnongh to meet the Increased wage bill. Yet the high rates arc. one of the many influences that are discouraging business at the present time. The demand for com modities is slack because there is widespread unemployment. The cost of shipment is ono factor so affecting prices that merchants are buying only what they need to supply tho immediate demands of their customers. Although the freight on a suit of clothes or bn a pair of shoes is not large, wbon it is known that freight has to be paid on every articlo that enters into the manufacture of a pair of shoes and a suit of clothes, as well as heavily increased railroad fares for the salesman who travels about the country sell ing the goods and for the buyer who pur chases the raw materials, it will be seen that the railroad bill paid by every consumer is a considerable item in the ultimate cost. The railroad bill is a large item in the cost of the heavier commodities. On hard coal, for example, the freight from the mines in this State to Maine is more than ?G a ton. The freight on a motorcar from De troit to Seattle is $200. The freight on steel from Pittsburgh to this city adds so much to the cost of a building that men contem plating enlarging, their planta or putting up new structures to be rented have been post poning their enterprises. All this keeps men out of work and reacts unfavorably upon every business man en gaged in meeting the demands of the people for food and clothing and household furnish ings and all the many articles which people in ordinary times are in the habit of buying. If the railroad workers consider only themselves they will object to the reduction in their wages. If they take a larger view they will accept. They will conclude that it Is better for them to have work at any wage than to be thrown out of employment, which already has befallen many railroad employes. The owners of the railroads have accepted reduced dividends on their holdings. They have reduced the pay of the high officials and they have been making such economics as were possible in order to be able to con tinue the operation of trains. They have thus shown their willingness to do their part toward tho necessary readjustment of business conditions to the changed economic condition of the country. But restoration of business activity will lag if 'labor in the mass insists on the con tinuance in any form of the conditions which were brought about by the national agree ments on the railroads. Those agreements ncre made without proper consideration for economy. Such a policy reacts upou the men who follow it. Only by a concerted effort to make a dollar buy more than it is now buying can normal conditions return. A dollar will buy more as soon as men do more work for a hundred cents, whether they be executives of the railroads or engine drivers or shop workers. TULSA, THE MAD NONE of the most abhorrent features of rnce-rioting seems to have been absent uhen the town of Tulsa, Okla , slipped back into barbarism. The original causes of tho hysteria, re sulting in the slaughter of 100 persons, appear to have been slmilnr to those which have before divorced reason from the minds of Americans, Bat no crime, however foul, can Justify such shocking defiance of the sane principles of law and order. Tulsa is stained, American civilization Is stained, by a display of passions that are close indeed to those of primitive savagery. The pandemonium, the mobs, the madness, the shootings, the burnings, the panics, the bestialities involved in the tragedy reveal the tenuity of the line of restraint distin guishing organized modern communities from those of the darkest ages. Eulogies of our progress and superiority halt in tho throat when such hideousness is remembered. WHAT WE DID FOR BULGARIA CURIOSITY is piqued by the announce ment that King Boris npd Premier Stambullwaki, of Bulgaria, are to visit the United States in the autumn to thank us for what we have done for their country. We know what Bulgaria did In the war and where her sympathies were. The United States did not declare war against her any more than it declared war against the Turks. We were at war only with Austria and Germany. , Now what have wo done for Bulgaria? We helped to defeat her, ve know, along with Germany and Austria. Gratitude for that service would be unusual, though It was a genuine benefit to the Bulgarians. They remain an independent nation. If Germany bad won It would not have been long before their conBtry would have become a German province goyerned from Berlin. When one looks at it in this way the Bul garians have real cause for gratitude. It is likely, however, that their thanks are to be given for the relief work done since tho war has ended. We have been splendidly Impartial in our generosity, for we hare been feeding the hungry in Europe regardless of the aide on which their na tions fought. THE IRREPRESSIBLE IDEA e-roVEN if this edifice which so many JL States have helped to build were des tined to collapse an Impossible hypothesis which I must apologize for advancing the foundations would still remain and the very ruins would cry aloud and summon new workmen to the task of rebuilding." It was the vitality of an idea rather than the enduring qualities of a particular ma chine which former President Motta, of Switzerland, extolled in the above language at the opening session of the Assembly of the League of Nations last autumn in Geneva. The gesture of shrinking from the hy pothesis of failure for the League that Is linked with the Versailles Treaty may 6e regarded as courteous. The fate of the Peace Conference League is uncertain. If it is less easy to kill than the Senate undertakers would care to believe, its per sistence thus far is not a guarantee of im mortality for its provisions in their present form. A league by any other namo may function better or function differently. Mr. Borah has raged at the pact which Woodrow Wilson brought home with him, and yet the Senator from Idaho is a fervid exponent of tho principles of international partnership, as illustrated in his resolution on behalf of a disarmament conference. President Harding, judging by his words, goes further. Peaceful co-operation of Gov ernments Is Implied in his "association of nations" vaguely yet earnestly outlined during tho late campaign. Tb'at he may bo one of the "new workmen" pictured by Mr. Motta is suggested bv the reports from Washington that the President is consider ing feeling his way toward a policy of mu tual service and amity based on the Supreme Council of the Entente and United States and linked with the operation of an inter national court of justice. The plan involves labors no lighter than those indispensable to the development of any machinery for international peace. Every such program ever suggested Nicho las the Second's, Mr. Wilson's, General Smuts's. Senator Borah's has necessarily sought to achieve the delicate balance of the materialistic and the ideal. There Is new hope, however, today in the intense practical reality of the need for some working scheme of international rela tions. A variety of methods is championed and denounced, but the fundamental idea is Irrepressible. HOW TO RUN A CAR THERE is in circulation what purports to be an English translation of the Japa nese rules of the road for motoroars posted in the contral police station of Tokio for the benefit of English -speaking visitors to the city. It deserves the widest possible publicity, for it is couched in such language as will impress it on -the memory of all motorcar drivers. Here it is: First.

We suggest that drivers inclined to be careletrs cut this out and paste it on the windshield where they can see it all the time. Says Alderman Scott M.

It gives us pleasure to meet a gentleman of whom wo heard much in the discourses of Mr. Dooley with Mr. Hcnnessy. And in this particular instance he will receive the sincere, nnd hearty felicitations of every small boy In the country. Life is but a span to a bridge commis- "Well, I'll bo switched!" said the railroad man. Russia may find cnpital then it gets down to labor. What the sales tax appears to need is an active minority. Tho new reading is, "The Old Guard plays possum wheu It Beems to Mirreuder." The Boy Orator of the Platte now be comes the Grapejulce Orator of the Ever glades.

This may be Jeffersonlan sim plicity Or It may bo appreciation of the fitness of thlnns. Dr. Shapley says the universe is bigger than we hove thought it. Perhaps. But It has never been so big as on the day wc first wore long pants. Commercial travelers from the T'nited States in South American countries might well take a tip from American theatrical managers and "give 'em what they want." The size of thu mortgage to be placed on German wealth by tile German Govern ment helps us to the knowledge that Germnns are now 20 per cent norry they started the war. What the average citizen would favor, if it were brought to his attention often enough, is a bonus for dlnnMed boldicrs sub stantial enough to give them proper care and free tbem from the danger of nnt. The inhabitants of Oppcln, Silesia, arc said to have been transported with joy when" they heard the skirl of the bagpipes ploveil by members of the Rlnck Wntcli. This shows us what a terrible thine war may be. The complex qualities of tho new immi gration law, remarked the Solemn Sneezer (whose orotund discourse is occasionally redeemed by an accidental gleam of common sense), Is Illustrated by its quantitative complexities. Forty of the nation's sixty-seven multi. millionaires live In New York, we learn from Federal Income statistics. Which goes to show that there are at least forty men in New York who have more trooMe with their Income tax schedules than most of us. A CHANCE FOR BOYS V ; . The State Waiting to Educate Free of Cost Ten Drlght Chaps Old Estates Being Cut Up A Court Without Appeal By GEORGE NOX McCAlN EA. 55IEGLER, of Mont Alto, should be a very popular citizen about this time. Ho is disseminating information to young men telling them how to get something for nothing from tho State of Pennsylvania, . There have been hundreds of men in the past who havo got something for nothing from the State. It was graft. This Is n legitimate scheme. Mr. Zieglcr confines his attention to young men only.ihnpn between the ages of eight een and twenty -five years. Moreover, they must have completed a high school courso and have experience in farming, lumbering, surveying or other forms of outdoor work. Other bright young men are not barred, but tho above-named requisites are de sirable. Here's tho schemol MR. ZIEGLER is director of the Penn sylvania State Forest Academy at Mont Alto. There are hundreds of thousands of peoplo in Pennsylvania who never heard of tho place. Olfford Pinchot put the academy in the list of educational institutions. There arc ten scholarships to be awarded to ten young men, West Point and Annapolis have nothing on this proposition, as tho scholarships are free, and they provide tuition, board, room and laundry. At the completion of a course In forestry a degree will be awarded. Next September is the time set for the lucky ten to begin their Htudles. They will be selected after n competitive examination on June 10 and 17. A test will be given each man for six weeks to decide If he is fit for the work andnf he, In turn, likes it. It means that these joung men will be the special wards of tho State. It'll be a pick-up for Borne bright boy. TWO lines of on old, old poem. "Death and change arc busy, ever Man decays and ages move, come to me every time I stroll along beside the decaying walls and fences that inclose the beautiful Clarke estate. In its perfection It occupied the entire square bounded by Forty-second, Spruce, Forty -third nnd Locust streets. It was the beatify spot of that part of West Philadelphia, and the fine old mansion heightened the effect. Today nothing remains but the crumbling foundations of tho residence, while the once beautiful park that surrounded it is a wilderness. It has gone the way of nearly all old city estates, WILLIAM UHLER 'HENSEL, former State Attorney General, had, twenty years ago, a beautiful country place just cast of Lancaster, but it has passed Into other hands and only lc;cnds of its former owner remain. The beautiful demesne of Cbauncey For ward Black, also a Lieutenant Governor, near York, has been cut up Into small forms. The Governor Pennypacker estate at Pen nypacker's Mills Is for sain and will soon become, with all its historic memories, a thing of the past. Tho old home of Justus M. Temple, former Auditor General, out In Washington County, passed into the hands of strangers years ago. The Governor Daniel H. Hastings farms have been subdivided, and now, I under stand, tho beautiful estate at Huntingdon of President Judge George B. Orlndy, of tho Superior Court, is offered for sale. One might carry on the list Indefinitely. THE Supreme Court of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Is a court of last resort. Once it has rendered a decision, there can be no appeal from its finding. Unless, of course, the rlglits of the Indi vidual have, in somo way, been infringed in manner contrary to Federal law. In such case there is recourse to the Su preme Court of the United States. If Governor Sproul had Mgucd a certain bill that was passed by the last Legislature the above would have been a misstatement. There would have been one court from whose decisions there would have been no appeal, even to the Supreme Court of tho United States. If $1,000,000 had been involved In n case In which the Commonwealth was the de fendant, and the Attorney General knew that the State bad adequate grounds for appeal, he would have had no recourse and could have made no appeal. The verdicts and decisions of this par ticular court would have been ns the decrees of the Medcs and the Persians. IT WAS to bo known as the Board of Claims. Its proper title would hne been "A Court of Claims Without Appeal " It was to pass upon certain completed and uncompleted contracts In which State con tractors had lost money owing to the rise in prices of labor ami material. They were railed "moral and equitable claims," and $50,000 was appropriated for the salaries and expenses of this court, other wise known as tho "Board." Tho duty of this court would have been to pass upon claims which Stntc contractors had, rightly or wrongly, against the Com monwealth. The bill was prepared, I am Informed, by nn ex-Attorney General of Pennsylvania. Any contractor whose contract remained uncompleted, or who claimed to have lost money on any contract during 1010 or 1020, could have presented his claim to this board and had it decided No matter what the finding of the board, whether just or unjust, adequate or in adequate, for large amount or small, this remarkable law provided : "The amount so fixed shall be final and conclusive ngnlnst the contractor and the Commonwealth without right of appeal." But it was vetoed West Africans and tho Dictionary Trim tho Manchenter Ounrdlan. The "educated" West African Negro rivals the Bnbu in the artless art of misusing Eng llsb polysyllables. As he uppeurs nlfo to nourish get-rich-quick ideas, he bombards firms whose names ho finds in the directory with proposals to do big busiuess. A Man chester man who collects these epistles has just received one which winds up with "trusting you are in tho same homogeneous cattagorry, yolrs equitably, T. E. Atkins." Mr. Bok's Third-Person Method To tho Editor of the Eirniny I'ublio Ledger; Sir In your editorial, "American Let ters 1020," appearing May 31, you refer to thu award of the Pulitzer Prize of $1000 to Edward Bok for his autobiography, "The Americanization of Edward Holt," and say that his performance "Is Imitative of Henry Adams in the ndoption of tho Caesarian style of speaking In the third person." The adjective "imitative" Is unsuitable in this instance, ns jou will discover by reference to Mr. Bok's foreword to his book, where In the first words he explains that he chose Its title nnd form ns far back ns 1014. four jenrs before tho Adams hook was brought into general circulation. There he snvs: "I had always felt that the most efferthe method of writing un autobiography, for the sake of a better perspective, was mentally to sepnrato the writer from his subject by this device. Moreover, this method came to me very naturally in denllng with the Ed ward Bok, editor and publicist, whom I havo tiled to describe in this book, because, In mnny respects, he has had and hns been u personality apart from my private self," I call your attention to the point onlv to keep" the record straight and because It Is Important to note Mr, Bok's freedom from merely "imitating" the procedure of a work which, with what jou justly call his fasci nating life story, has added new luster to American letters. 8 I). 0.

DAVID D. FORSYTHE On the Church and Human Need ANY Church, regardless of creed or high purpose, fails of Its mission to humanity in bo for ns it fails to keep vltnlly in touch with and serve the need of mankind, both spiritual and material. This Is the belief of Dr. David D. Forsythc, head of the Home Missions Board of the Methodist Episcopal Church, whose central offices aiu in the Wesley Building. "A Church, cither ns a social or religious factor," he sajs, "must serve. That Is the one law of Christianity, the obligation placed upon the Christian man through the spark of the divine that flickers in him. Creed are empty without comfort that sustains in the trlnla that come to the everyday man and woman. "Man cannot live by bread nlonc, nor can he absorb the lesson In the Ten Command ments if by some combination of circum stances, beyond liln control, perhaps, he must sit starving in his church pew. "The poor we have nlwnys with us. nnd it is remarkable how quickly faithful wor shipers become not only poor in the things of material comfort, but poor in spirit, if thpr nrn not trulv shenherded. It bus been and will nlwnys be the task of the Homo Missions Board of the Methodist Episcopal Church to see that what is known nn 'soflnl service' receives the Imprint of spiritual purpose, thnt people arc lifted up, but not fed on pamphlets and exhortations nlonc. Example of Social Service "Philadelphia has, at 1)111 Ridge avenue. a modest example of one branch of social service in which every one ought to bo in terested, for It is of vitnl importance during the present industrial depression. It is tin 'Good Will Industries,' founded on the model of nn institution suceessful in Boston for more than thirty .ears. This is but one expression of the idenl of Christianity, of service, but its prnctlcnl application ought to be worth noting. "Within three squnres of this center twentv-threc nationalities nrc repiesentcd, and less than three blocks away is the locul headquarters of our local 'Bolshevik!. v hat can 'Good Will Industries' do for this and other sections of Philadelphia hnrd lilt by the accident of soclnl misfortune nnd the Inevitable fact of its attendant want" "Throughout tho city some 50,000 'Good AVill Bags' will be placed during a bingle year, nnd perhaps 300,000 articles of wearing apparel, second hand but still usable, will be contributed by those well nblo to give. Many, of course, would never be otherwise used. But there will bo shoes, baby gar ments, women's nnd men's outer garmentH, "These will be turned into presentable appnrel for tho needy, things they mnv not hesitate to wear, jet things which ordinarily would be wasted or thrown away by others Here the handicapped, those not normal and those crippled, are given n chance to cam nnd to work.
