- THOSE EXCITABLE FRENCH!
A MEHICANS engrossed in luml mid eucr-
J.X. gene work, strong, tlrelws spocinll.sts
in the intricacies of business, trading,
finance nnd the grueling pursuit of wealth;
Americans, emotionally well balanced, free
from those mercurial flashes of "tempera
ment" which niUlct the Latin races; Ameri
cans, with their "shoulders to the wheel";
Americans, such as have conquered a con
tinent and by mighty concentration of pur
pose have fashioned the most powerful nnd
richest Nation upon the earth, will proceed
.to their accustomed tasks today with their
accustomed mentnl poise.
This nil must be true, or else the conven
tional description of American character is
at fault.
In France, of course, it may be otherwise.
The French are avid of glory. In defeat
or victory they arc notoriously prone to
reveal their inmost feelings.
Sentiment appeals to these Latins. Amoils
. them excitement is easily invoked. Even n
fistic contest for the championship of the
world might conceivably pluncc them into
astatcapproachlnc hysteria.
Were the boxing affair billed for Jersey
City today scheduled to take place in Paris
perhaps frenzy would ensue. As it is well,
pjery one sees just how it is.
MOTOR REGULATION
WK WHO live in Philadelphia hear more
from olliciai sources about motor acci
dents and see less of the well -organized pre
' ventivo effort than there oucht to be.
Superintendent Mills has told the motor
triide organizations of a new and mmnrn-
h4nslve Hystem of tralfie regulation designed
tnc police department to make the street
fcr and more convenient for those who
ive cars and those who go afoot. The
perintendent wants "new traflic lanes
lleling Broad street. Such lanes are
ed. But a prior and pressing need is
tern of street signals less reminiscent
ic suburbs nnd the small towns than
that which is supposed to regulate the tides
of traflic in central and crowded thorough
fares. Other cities are adopting the system
nndcr which all traflic over important high
ways is stopped and started by signals
flashed from central tower. Thus time' is
saved on central and right-angle streets
alike.
Superintendent Hills is justified in seeking
ways to deal with the reckless drivers who
take all sorts of risks because they feel will
ing to let the insurnnce compauies foot the
bills. Those drivers who prove themselves
negligent or unlit by becoming involved in
successive serious nccidents should have
their licenses revoked. That method would
be surer nnd more painful for the guilty
persons than the system of informal es
pionage which the police talk of establishing
with thejiid of citizens nnd "report cards."
The latter method might be an encourage
ment -to mnliciouiJ and bad-tempered people
who nre happiest when they are making
trouble for others.
A FESTAL FOURTH
THE fortuuutc juxtaposition of Sunday
and the Fourth of .July appreciably
heightens the recreative aspects of the na
tional holidny tnis year.
For approximately three days the Nation
will-adopt a fe.stnl mood ndmirablv in keep
ing with the meaning of the birthday of
independence. Even in mere joy6usnes,
free from serious reflection upon the signifi
cance of the anniversary, there is propriety.
It would, of course, be grntifyins could
.Anerieaus rise to the full dignity of the
occasion and. bring to the resumption of
their ordlua'ry tasks of life an appreciation
4 of the responsibilities of the Nation, of their
own personal share in its destinies nnd of
the inspiration of the past ns a guide to
the future.
Hut Americans, after oil, are human
beings and serious reflection is often painful
to them. If the holidny is observed gajlj
nnd spiritedly nnd, above all, not burhar
ouslj, us sometimes in the past, it vi ill in
a large degree be justified.
Tho birth of the Nation is worth smiles
nnd laughter and good times generally,
though philosophy and introspection be ie
ducrd to an imperceptible minimum.
Furthermore, be it remembered thnt the
plane of exaltation reached in the average
stilted conventional Fourth of July oration
of old was, on the whole, specious nnd arti
ficial. It can be spared without regret.
l Genuinely fine things arc not done after that
ENEMIES OF GOV 'RNMENT
GltADL'ALLY It is becomAg clear even
to platitude worshipers that the real
enemies of order and government in the
United Stntes are nut only the unshnved
and untutored propagandists of political
radicalism, but also the smooth, hard indi
viduals who, from the vantage point of
eminence in practical politics, manifest u
complete disregard of the principles which
they and we nro supposed to live by.
Tho bipartisan maneuvering of Governor
Donney nnd a majority in the Senate of
Delaware comes pretty close to beins a
dlsgraeo to the State and n uegatiou of the
rules ,if popular government
.Governor Denney, representative in office
of a powerful nnd heavily endowed machine,
is eajer to sntlsfj some of his Mipporters
who desire to tee one of their number in
tho United States Senate. Not bug ago the
Governor, a Uepubllcun, offered to appoint
United Stntes Senator Wnlcott, n Demo
crat, to the post. of Chancellor. Wnlcott
accepted the offer nnd thus opened a way
"" to n vncaney In Washington which it would

Denney nnd his friends. Tho Governor nnd
Senator Wnlcott eloquently defended them
selves. Hut tho sltuntlon on Its face
Is Infinitely repellent nnd broadly suggestive
of the worst sort of politicnl practice.
The typical agitator often tells his fol
lowers that a vote nowadays means little.
It Is seldom, of course, that such a chnrge
may be sustained. Hut the present state of
affairs in Delaware goes far to sustain that
precise indictment of the 'prnctlcal politicians."
RIGHTS OF THE CAR RIDERS, '
MUST BE CONSIDERED FIRST
y
Supreme Court Seems to Hold That
They Take Precedence Over Divi
dends on Watered Stock
rpHE decision of the Supreme Court on
the right of the Public Service Com
mission to compel the underlying tran
sit companies in this cltv to submit to It for
examination the leases with the I. 11. T.
is n substantial victory for the people.
It sustains the contention of the under
lying companies that thev are .not subject
to the supervision of the Public Service
Commission, and oerrules the Superior
Court decision that these companies, which
were chartered as public service corpora
tions, must remain public service corpora
tions so long as they continue in existence
and must submit to the jurisdiction of the
State commission.
It, however, sustains the right of the Pub
lic Service Commission to fix n reasonable
rate of fare to be charged by the P. U. T.
This fare must in equity be such ns to pro
line a reasonable return on the value of the
property under the control of the P. It. T.
There is nothing in the decision which will
compel the Public Service Commission to
consider the rentals paid to the owners of
the unlrrl.ing companies ms affecting the
value of the property rented.
If the "reasonable rate of fare" does not
produce sufficient rienue to enable the
P. H. T. to pay the rentals and to pay
dividends on its capital stock, then It is up
to the owners of the property to mnke such
readjustments as the conditions require.
If the bankruptcy of the P. It. T. is in
volved in this readjustment, that is one of
the risks its owners took when they made
the original contracts. And then the next
company in line must undertake the opera
tion of the rars at the prese'ribed rate of fare,
and so on until the omelet i.s unscrambled
or until the water is' squeezed out of thu
capitalization or until some chartered com
pany is reached which can operate the car
and meet the reasonable and necessarj fixed
charges.
If this is what the decision means, nnd it
is difficult to rend any other meaning into
its rather indefinite wording, then the point
for which the advocates of n rewriting of the
underbills leases have been contending is
sustained. The result for which they have
been hoping can he braught about by in
direction, nnd the people can be relieved of
the exorbitant and burdensome charges that
have been laid upon them for years because
greedy men over -reached themselves in an
attempt to secure themselves and their heirs
and assigns lu the enjoyment of illegitimate
profits.
The effect of the decision will be the same
as that of decisions of the United States
Supreme Court in sustaining the rate-making
power of the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion. In the early days of that Commission
rates were tied which the niilmaih Insisted
were too low to enable them to meet the
charges laid upon them by long-standing
contracts, The Court held that the public
should not be burdened bv charges involved
in fiillHling the terms of inequitable con
tracts and that the rates fixed by the Inter
state Commerce Commission, winch jieldcd
a fair return on capital legitimately in
vested, should stand.
This i.s in line with the nims for which
the critics of the underbills lene have
been contending in this cltv. It does not
matter how it is brought about, whether
by n revision of the terms of the leases or
by the successive bankruptcy of operating
companies until the fixed charges are reduced
to such a figure that there will he a surplus
above operating expenses tn pay dividends
nnd to establish the credit of the company
so it can raise capital for needed extensions.
The valuation of the property operated bv
the P. It. T. is now in progress It will
be completed in a few months. Then the
Public Service Commission will havn before
It for tho first time all the data needed to
guide it in fixing a reas mnhlc rale of fare.
It knows now from the reports nf the
operating cnmpan wlint the operation
charges are and what is the number of
passengers carried. Put it does not know
what the total gross income should he be
cause it does not kno.w what a fair return
on the value of the property is.
The decision seems to point out the way
to relieve the cur riders of the neossitv of
paying sin h a rate of fare as will leM to
the holders of the securities of the underly
ing companies from 10 to TO per. rent (,n the
capital ime-ted

was, of course, the chance that Jidin-on, of
California; ISornli, of Idaho; Wat-oii, of
Georgia, and Ln V dlctie of Wisconsin,
would blight thf event with their votes.
It is not calming to i onsuler that this
possibility once theoretically existed. Were
William Hohenzollern to declare that thi
Allies upheld the right side of the late con-
flict. serious doubts of the ju-ti f that

the svstem would he well worth a rigid
examination.
Suppose even for a moment that Hiram
Johnson had foimalb registered his approval
of a man who once de- rihed the California
Senator and his familiars a- unfit to be
trusted overnight, what would the Nation
which now so unaffectedly rciotrcs in the

Su-picion of Mr. Taft would h.v-o been

EVENING PUBLIC 'LEDGER' PHILADELPHIA,'
by the attitude of the nntlvcs townrd nn
Administration that ou tho wholo 1ms been
beneficent and constructive. Hctween
friends much can be arranged.
THE ENGLISH WASHINGTON
IT IS as "oue of the greatest Englishmen
who ever lived" thnt Gcorgo Washington,
perpetuated In marble, Invndes tho sacred
purlieus of Trafalgar Squaro and divides
honors with the elllgtes of Nelson, Napier,
Ilavclock and Gordon. Lord Curzon, speak
ing nt the unveiling of a replica of the
lloudou statue In Loudon, Is responsible for
the rating.
"The English," observed Mark Twain,
"nro mentioned In the Bible: 'Messed are
the meek, for they shall Inherit the earth.' "
Narrowing this deduction to personalities,
It mny confidently bo maintained that the
llrlfish Foreign Secretary strove earnestly
to disport himself ns a symbol of the na
tional humility nnd deferential generosity.
He even apologized for nn ancient war
"thnt none of us nrd proud of."
Lord Curzon's eulogy sonrcd high with
winged words of praise for the most power
ful and successful rebel with whom the em
pire ever hnd to contend, reaching Its cllmnx
In n magnificently acquisitive national seal
of approval. If England cannot extol the
English Washington, who indeed can?
The new privilege ncqulrcd across the sens
warrants tint the least resentment from
Americans, inclined perhaps, to dispute nt
least one of Earl Curzon's statements.
Compliments between nations" nt once so
friendly nnd so intensely critical of each other
ns the United Stntes nnd Grcnt Britain are
charged with subtleties into which, nt times,
it Is ns well not to inquire too curiously.
A sense of humor, in which the' "na
tionals" of neither of the two countries are
deficient, will serve to adjust the present
situation.
Enrl Curzon unquestionably meant well.
So do we in Inudiug Jock Hutchison, a
native of Scotland, ns n product of American
dexterity in golf. That which is our own
or claimed ns such i.s good nnd great.
This Is the world's way. Germany an
nexed not only East Africa, but Shakes
peare. Columbus Is the proud possession of
Spain. His nshes repose in the Cathedral
of Seville. He is glorious in Itnly ns n
native of thnt land. Nnpolcon is n French-,
man. nn Italian, n Corsicnn, according ns
one considers his achievements, his llnenge,
his birthplace.
Adopting tho classification applied by the
British stntcsmnn to Washington, whose
great-grandfather came to this country in
H!."7, all the Presidents of the United Stntes
have been "foreigners." For that mntter,
so I.s the present King of England, with the
blood of mnny of the leading European races
in his veins.
The general theme is fnscinnting. but
hardly vital. It behooves us to thank Enrl
Curzon for a British compliment paid in a
characteristically British way. So long as
we are not compelled to return It by pro
claiming George III as an American there
is small cause for complaint. On the con
trary, we should hail the development of
gracious, if nmusing. international amenities.

How They Will Observo tho

By GEORGE NOX McCAJN
ABE we becoming a Nation dt holiday
makers?
Pennsylvania comes pretty nearly de
serving thnt title.
It may nstouish some people to know that
In reality this Stnte has no fewer thnu
eighty-nine holidays.
Some of them might be termed gala days,
which they really are.
Hero Is the, formldnblc list:
There are ordinarily fifty-two Sundays
every year.
, n addition, there are fifty-two Saturday
half holidays in all banks nnd a ranjorlty of
the crafts and Industries.
lhls represents twenty-six full days more.
Then there arc eleven legal holidays;
some of which nre, however, only partly or
perfunctorily recognized by the people as
a whole. . .
Unnkjng establishments, though, go ln for
nil of them. Interest mounts up on holidays
nB well n on week days.
This is tho list of legal holidays observed
in this State:
New Year's, Lincoln's Birthday, Wnsh
jnKto" s. Birthday, municipal election dny,
Good irlday, Memorlnl Dny, November
election day, Thanksgiving nnd Christmas.
NATIONAL holidays, Instituted in com-'
.momorntlon of grcnt events In n-Nn-t
on s history, nre a comparatively recent
thing.
They arc peculiarly associated with n
democratic form of government.
Formerly, holidays, or feast days, as they
were known, hnd wmie. peculiar religious
significance.
They were saints' days or church calendar
3 .or ri;IRlos celebrations of some kind.
This is still true of most of the mon
archical countries of Europe today.
France nnd the United States, mid in
later jcars the Latin -Amerlcnu" republics,
hnvc taken up the celebration of great civic
events in which the whole people partici
pated or had u peculiar Interest.
Guy Fnwkcs Day and the King's Birthday
are. or have been, the almost sole anniver
saries commemorated by the Uritlsh. And
Guy Fnwkcs Day is gradunlly dying out'.
trance has experienced a good ninrir
vicissitudes in the observance of her great
iiituunui nonuay, .itiiy a-i, or Bastille Day,
ns it is popularly called.
The fourth of July in the United Stntes
hns been consistently observed since its first
anniversary.
IT WILL surprise a large number of peo
ple who have never considered tho sub
ject to learn thnt nearly one-fourth of everv
calendar jenr is given over by the American
people to rc-t, rccrcntiou, religious observ
ance or idleness.
There are countries ln Europe thnt far
exceed .this, but their holidays nre connected
with religious observances or ordinances.
Certain States in the Union have other
holidays in addition to the ones I have
enumerated.

CIIBLSTMAS ond the Fourth of July
stand conspicuously, with Thanksgiving
Dnj, as the great American holidays.
Fourth of July has gradually developed
from the "bonfires and illifmluations" of the
earlier days Into a day of disaster.
Phlladelphlans will experience a new sen
sation, though, on Mondnv next.
It will be the first Fourth of July on
which the indiscriminate use of fireworks
lias been forbidden by law.
The annual toll of death from explosives
on the Fourth has been growing steadily
every jear.
Instead of a day of rejoicing, it has de
veloped into a day of calamity,
i
THE country nt large is coming to its
senses on tills subject.
Celebrations of the day or night with
fireworks are all right, with the proviso
however, that the display is under compe
tent and careful direction.
Communities everywhere nre arriving at
the coiiclu-ion that there are scores of other
safer and just ns interesting wnys of honor
ing the day ns h. killing people with
exploding cannon and blinding or maiming
little chilili'eii with- firecrackers, sparklers
and torpedoes.
pAROLINE LOC'KHABT. who some years
W ago was a Philadelphia newspaper
writer, but who is now n successful novelist
and rancher in W.omlng, is an ardent ad
vocate of "an American Fourth."
And an "American Fourth" in the West
means just that thing, ns I happen to know
from re-idence there nnd from experience
along that line.
The celebration, of which Miss Loekhart
is president, is to be held at Cody, Wjo.
"Buffnlo Bill's Home Town," ns the posters
read.
And Mondnv next will be "some" day In
Codj . for the motto of the rodeo, or round
up. op.Fointh of Julv celebration Is:
"We'll nut 'er on wild."
Willi a warning to "limber up" for the
men's relay ( races), the program pro
ceeds :
"Come out of the Chutes Scratching 'em
in the Neck In the Brouc Hilling. Cowboy'
"Take a Shot nt the Bull-Dogging' and
Dust their Backs for them!
"Lap jour String on the Long-Horns and
get in on the Goat Hoping, Old-Timer !
"Bring jour Fast Ones nnd Take Our
Money in the Races!
"If von can't do anything else Buv n
Seat and Holler!"
BHONCHO "bustin! " nnd rough riding
are not the only attractions, for this
Wj oining Fourth of Julv is to cover three
days. Sure! It's a real American old
fashioned Fourth.
And then the program shrieks;
"Tallow "Jour boots for the dances at
Wolfvllle eery evening.
"Mu-le bv the Treasure Cltv Jnzz Or
chestra of Bed Lodge, and the Onlv Mnrv

"Shake hands with Chief PJentlcoos

"Drift in nnd get acquainted. We are nn

There jou have the real Fourth of July

It will be some celebration.

EDWARD A. NOPPEL
On Safe and Sane Fourth
A FOURTH OF JULY celebration In this
city thnt will not only be without serious
accident, so far ns Artworks art? concerned,
hut a more significant nnd better understood
observance of the day by the general public,
Is seen by Edward A. Noppel, Assistant
Director of Public Welfare.
"The recent net of the Stnte Legislature
enabling communities lu the State to prohibit
the sale of fireworks, and the prompt passage
of an ordinance to thnt effect bv City Coun
cil," said Mr. Noppel, "will practically
remove nil danger of serious accident to
children nnd grown folks nllke.
"By this legislation the sale for indi
vidual use of fireworks of any kind, includ
ing the deadly 'harmless sparkler,' Is pro
hibited in this city, although many other
communities in the State have not tnken ad
vantage of the Stnte enabling provision.
Even the discharging of revolvers, sport of
inniiv Irresponsible nud frolicsome youths,
which has resulted in many serious acci
dents In the past, will be punished by nrrcst
and heavy fine.
Shows Holiday's Real .Meaning
"AH this iuevitahly will lead to a more
thoughtful attitude townrd this greatest of
American holidays. Generally speaking,
the child is likely in such matters to do just
exactly what his parents did before him.
It was not so much the holiday that moved
him ns the fnct that on this dny he had a
chance to cut loose, make n noise nnd, above
nil, do something that he was not nllowcd
to do on any other day in the year.
"This inevitably led him Indirectly to
regard the law lightly. 'For,' lie reasoned,
'if it Is wrong to do these tilings on other
dayb ln tho year, It is wrong to do them on
this holiday.' Only he applied his reason
ing with the reverse English, the result
being thnt he unconsciously ncquired a cer
tain contempt of the law.
"Now, with his fireworks privilege taken
away, he is likely to ask why ngnin, and
then 'What does the day mean, anyhow?'
"The parent, realizing that the law was

dren, will be likely to explain nnd Inciden
tally to think seriously about the renl sig
nificance of the dny. It is then that the
child will get the big Idea and make the
holiday a greater and liner one thnn it hns
ever been befote.
To Hear Patriotic Talks
"He then will probnbly be satisfied to go to
a celebration und hear nn inspiring address
that will mean something more thnn the
mere excitement of theilny, but will give
him something to think about during the
other days of, the year.
"But the day ns now worked out will be
by no means an unattractive one. The sec
tional celebrations, the observances in the
playgrounds nud recreation centers will nil
have their appeal even more thnn in previous
yenrs, with their games, music, athletic
events, nddrewcs nnd the general community
spirit that means so much.
"The individual parent who was wont to
bpend a certain amount of money for tho
day, to enable his youngsters to make u few
firecrackers fizz, n few Roman candles or
skyrockets fizzle and otherwise get a mini
mum of satisfaction, not to mention the
risks which tho child took, can now get
ever so much more for his money by con
trlbutiug to one of the sectional celebrations.
Now Is Real Holiday
"Not only docs ho get nil the events of a
delightful morniug mid afternoon with n big
party thrown ln, but ln the evening he may
havo his fireworks display, n real one, bigger
nnd better and more satisfactory thnn any
thnt he could possibly have provided and
with no danger attached.
"For under the law it Is possible for or
ganizations or groups of persons to- get
special permits for such exhiOltlons nnd,
for their safety, the use of an expert to
conduct the. display Is obligatory.
"So a safe and sane Fourth means,
therefore, no personal injury, more fun
nud pleasure, n greater nud deeper appre
ciation of the dny nnd a more wholesome
respect for law and order."
