HE SAYS ny THOMAS Philadelphia as a boom city, with .west public works under way at the in tf :i1(Ann HJ ...111 , public works under way at the expenditure of millions, and with the ground literally bursting under the assaultB of steam. shovels and thousands of husky workmen, waB pictured vividly today by Mayer Moere. He declared that the municipality was gradually but surely breaking the stranglehold of profiteering financial interests which for years have sailed under the name of "pull backs." "Despite opposition of hamstring ing tactics," said the Mayer, "Phil adelphia is going ahead as never before. The 'System,' the combination of big financial interests with con tractor politics, is being smashed right and left. Philadelphia is ris , lng up, throwing off the yoke and emerging into the light of a new and freater era. Heal Werk Being Dene "Werk is being done streets opened sewers laid construction i3 actually under way. It is net paper work. Men are being employed se is capital. As a result Philadelphia hai no unemployment problem in the seme that such a problem lies heav ily ever ether cities." As the Mayer sketched the con struction being carried en by the several city departments, he pointed out that the only danger ahead was in the attitude of the Combine-controlled Council, with its control of the city purse. Threats have been conveyed pri vafely te the Mayer that his Ad ministration would receive no mere funds for new construction. Such a threat, fully carried out, would halt the forward march. That such a threat' leeks like "business" is borne out, in the' Mayer's opinion, by the action of the Combine in killing the proposed $19,000,000 mu nicipal lean for public improvements "Such a move "en the part of the I opposition," said the Mayer, "would be a knife thrust in the dark a terrible blew at the progress of Philadelphia." Commission Plan Suggested Incidentally, Mayer Moero is giv ing thought te the advisability of a commission form of government for Philadelphia, te replace the present system of a Council and a Mayer. This would eliminate the present deadly and deadlocking conflict be tween the City Administration and Council. "I am beginning te think," cora cera taented the Mayer, "that Mayer Don Den nelly, of Trenten, Is rigTit; that the commission form of government Is but for a modern municipality. As it i new there is a usurpation of the executive authority by the legislative branch. This was strikingly illustrated when Council Insisted that we buy the Vtre stables en Seuth Bread street in Place of the one picked out by Direc tor Caven. "I am net sure but that Council has weeded Ita authority under the City Charter, However, It is plnln that the Combine plans te use Ita power of the Pume te the limit in nn effort te side track the Administration. New In a eommisMen of four or five men, who could be elected en the same basis as the Mayer Is new, these men would levy the taxes and spend them. There Would be nene of this double-decking, e te speak, and of course, the com cem com tnlsslencrs would net try te hamstring themselves. This is a business propo rtion, the running of a city, and It heuld be se considered." Mayer Is Suspicious In throwing out the suggestion of the rommisslen form of government the Mayer haa Ip mind the opposition te "la Administration of Big Finance and "Is Politics. It Is believed he is bus bus Pldem of the apparent harmonleua re lation at present between the Morgan Mergan Morgan Btettabury Interests, with nil their lines into Philadelphia's big business, nd the City Council and City Con Cen Con 'fellcr Hartley. .JiIr;i.8lS,,MburJ and Mr- Hartley con cen L?iithe !Reurrt of Sinking Fund Com Cem ft2i0n.erH. &ttfi Mr Steteebury is be 'wed te be Ifi ympathy with the or- Frem Control of "Meney J.

The Mayer thinks it significant thnt the Combine control of Council began te develop mere fully when the city Administration began te sheet boldly nt the big flnuncinl Interests. It was re cnllcd in this connection that Mr. Stetcsbury unsuccessfully urged the Mayer te sign the Hall gas ordinance.

Religious Instruc tion has no place in the public schools. If T can leave thnt one message with J en, I nm content. Speaking before the regular weekly meeting of the Philadelphia Presby terian Ministers' Association. Super intendent of Schools Broeme, himself n PrcHbyterlnn elder, chose ns his sub ject the matter of religious nnd mernl education of children. Starting with the premise that n spiritual belief ls csscnlinl te the hap piness of mankind. Dr. Broeme at tacked the problem of instilling that be lief in the coming generation. His firM statement denied the public schools te such instruction, and he explained Hint it-is extremely vitnl thnt nil questions of denomination or sect be kept nway from public-school instruction. He ndded that competent teachers for such religious training could net be had in proper numbers te care for the large student body in the public schools, nnd pointed out that the support of (lie schools rests upon a large and varied citizenry which would nut permit the sectarian form which any such re ligious teaching would necessarily linve te take. "The home is the strategic point of attack in our problem." said Dr. Broeme, "because nineteen out of every twenty-four hours of the pupils' time nre spent in or about It. The home and the Sunday "-clioel have lite grcncst opportunities te give the child the proper training in such matter". "There is room for much improve ment in the tcchnlc of religious instruc tion today. There hns been tee much attempt te impress truths by argu ment en minds net yet fitted te grasp fhe processes of thought. Let there lie mera decision and finality in stating the truisms of religion nnd Christian thought. Afterward the child may grasp for himself the logical aspects of the nintter." -He nlse made an appenl te lessen In some measure the ndminKtwitive duties of ministers In order thnt they inn have mere time te carry their work into the home nnd spread ChrlMlnuity te thee whose absence from church would pre vent their receiving It otherwise.

I might para phrase and extend the epigram about Lloyd Geerge "He will be the most useful mnn nt the arras conference. He has no principles" and say "He Jg the hope of the world. He has no princi ples." t ETery one leeks forward te the Brlt-"-h Premier's coming here with the ut ut mest interest. "What will he de?" P"ople ask. The compromise in which the assembly will result will be Llevd Geerge s compromise, working prebablv outside the Pnn-Amerienn Building with President Harding. He Is the next friend of both the Japanese and the Americans. ijp h thc ,argMt an( most available trading stakes of all the intornntiennl bargainers who will gather here. Mr. Lloyd Geerge is n symptom of the disease of our times. H0 ewes "s power In England te the fact that lie has no principles.

It desires te be ready for the turn of events. Given a man with an idea, like President Wilsen, it sftys-, "but perhaps his idea is wrong." It wants te wait and see. Sometimes thc light seems te be in one direction nnd sometimes in another. And the mnn whose eye searches ths horizon, who turns faster thuii any one else can turn, is the man en whom it pins Its hopes. The sun. let us say, has suddenly stepped rising. Every, body hopes it will begin rising ugain. But no one knows in what quarter. One man keeps his eyes en the East; it has always risen there, and It al ways will, he says. Bether with the old feel, say the masses, it may ris In the West, nnd he'll miss it." Air. Lloyd Geerge lias eyes In all sides of his iicad. He will see it rise wherever it rises. He bes no principles, he is the hepe of the world. We arc nil mere or less in that mood. We all uncon sciously envy England her Lloyd Geerge.
