II, 19:2 THREE NEEDS FOR THE FAIR ' rplIK World's Tnlr project mny be called - definitely launched when the munici pality untlci Its ptine strings, when it "Ite has been selected and a director general has been appointed. On nt luait two of the pieieipiisllcs le tangible progress there i nnt excuse for delay. A ceuncilmanic committee has urged the appropriation of S3.000.UOO. It Is ni turned that the city legislature will comply with the rennet. Action should lie prompt. Once there Is evidence of substantial munici pal backing appeals with no taint of men dicancy can be made at Washington nnd Uarrlsburg. It was the practical enthusiasm displayed In Philadelphia itself for its own com memorative undertaking which se speedily nreuscd congressional Intercut in the Cen tennial when Its preliminaries were under way some fifty cars nge. Tfhe enterprise passed from the local le the national sphere, ami with that transfer its sttccss was virtually assured. There Is every roat-en te believe that history will repeat itself as seen as Council has shown 'that it Is actually in earnest. As for the site of the fair, it is no secret that the Cret Parkway plan possesses nd yantages that cannot be countered by the Bnest fervent parochial ambition. Among the most obvious merits arc the availability of the location for permanent structures, the scenic charms of the lower end of Fairmount Park, the premised co operation of the Park Commissioners, transportation possibilities, accessibility of the-- proposed grounds and the opportunity e redeem and beautify both banks of the Schuylkill below Spring Garden Street Bridge. It Is Indeed doubtful If any great city In the country could accommodate n world's exposition physically se close te Its metro politan heart ns can Philadelphia in in dorsing the most reasonable of all the pro pre crams submitted. "-"Mere delicate problems arc connected with the choice of a director general than with wither the bite or the financial support. Xcgitlmate eagerness te secure n man of the Hoever type resulted some weeks age in 'a public-spirited offer te the Secretary of Commerce. Mr. Hoever declined the invi tation, but it Is new hinted that his re fusal may net have been Irrcfragably final. In that case there should be further solici tation. Should that fall, the name of Cha'rles M. Schwab appears especially attractive. Mr. Schwab is a Pennsylvanian and also, In a sense, a world citizen. His qualifications for the pest, his undisputed abilities as an administrator admit of no adven-e argument. He ebeilld, if possible, be persuaded te as ume the new role In which his dynamic gifts would be -accorded magnificent waj . It is time for the Scse,uI -Centennial Asso Asse elation te embrace realities. The public weujd gratefully welcome a concentration of leadership of tlic fair in tome vigorous, magnetic and Inspiring personality. The undertaking cannot advance much further until the questions of menev. ,te and captaincy hove been reduced te' 'cur, i Interest whetting terms. REV. DR.

Seating Newbet y It Has Reaffir , the Right of a Legally Elected Candidate tc .told Office NOW that there has come n lull In t storm of demagogic nnd partisan ilet doodle about the Newberry case there I11 be en attempt te revive It in the approach ing congressional campaign it may be worth while considering what has been es tablished by it. In the first place. It has been demon strated once mere that the Senate will net unseat a Senater in response te popular clamor. Mr. Newberry was legally elected by the voters of Michigan. He took with him te Washington :i alhl certificate of election. The Senate was asked te go behind the certificate and unseat him because n large sum of money wa spent in bringing about the nomination nnd election. The legality of the expenditure has been sus tained !i the Supreme Court. e thnt the only thing thnt remained for the Senate le consider was whether ti Senater should be unseated because mere money had been spent in his behalf than people thought should have been spent. A dangerous precedent would have been set up if Mr. Newberry had been unseated for aiij such reason. Quay, one of the most influential leaders of the Itepublicnn Party nt the time, was denied admission te the Senate en appointment by the i.ovcmer of Pennsylvania after the Legislature had re fused te elect him. There were sound con stitutional reasons for this course. The party friends and nssnriatc of Quay were lined up- ngainst him in the ere. They acted as capable judges of the law and the facts. Again. William I.erlmcr. of Illinois, was unseated because it was indisputably proved that lie obtained his scat as the re sult of the bribery of the Legislature. The fraud invalidate:! the election. Hepiiblicnus and Democrats alike joined ill declaring ills seat vacant. It is of j e great importance whether Mr. Newberry sits in the Senate or net, but It is of the highest importance that the Senate should set its face against the establishment of any precedent which will permit a tyran nous majority le unseat a legally elected representnthe of a State merely because there is widespread disapproval of the methods of his campaign committee, methods that may have been objectionable, but ct were within the law. The attack upon Mr. Newherrj's title te his scat has been almost cnllrel partisan. The Democrat, were "aggrieved because his election made it Impossible for them te control tlie organization of the Senate. Their partisan organs hne gene te great extremes in their criticism. The New Yerk World nnd t he New Yerk Times, both Dem ocratic newspapers, have even charged that he was allowed te take his eat ns t he re sult of a deal with the opponents .f the WlNen policies under which the Foreign Kelatiens Committee was te h" packed with opponents of the League of Nations. As a matter " fact, the bitterest oppo nents of Mr. Newberry in the contest lune been IJerah, Kcnyen and N'erris, of his own party, who were also the bitterest opponents of the Wilsen policies nnd who would have had te be a party te the deal.Thi whole ileal theory is an insult te the intelligence. There Is this much gained by thr wide spread discussion of the case; Ii hns con centrated attention en the cxtnmignnt ex penditure of menej in political campaigns. Candidates for office ami their friends are likely hereafter te be much mere economical. Hut most of the honor cxpretei bv the Senators ever t lie amount of the Newberry campaign fund was hj pecr.ticil. Then, is net a Senater who docs net knew that il is impossible te ram a hotly contested pri mary election without the expenditure of money. The legitimate expenses of such n campaign are heavy because the cost of a lanvass of the voters has te be paid for, much money has te be paid for advertising nnd mm h for traveling expenses. Many of ne Senators who .jted for and against the seating of Newberry knew that as much or mere money ,ins spent in support of their landiuVles than 'he sum nnmed in the lnw which the, Suprune Court has Invalidated, and that e long ns conditions remain ns i hey nre it will continue te be spent. Hut this Is a rnnditlen which rvVry pa triotic American must reyret. It makes It impossible in many instances for any one except n man who can remmnud large sums te run for efliie If he has net the money himself, he must be se satisfactory te ihe party organization ihai ir can raise the money for him. The Senate has ery properly condemned such use of menej. It should nei slop with a resolution of dlsappreMil. If it wislic, le de something it should find a contiiu centiiu contiiu tiennl way te limit campaign expenditures nnd te preUde a penalty for these who ex ceed Ihe limit. Then the ifext time It Is shown that large bums hae been spent in securing nn clcrtinn there will be valid tea sons for unseating the victor, icasens rest ing in law and net m parfNau ilnmer nml disappointment eier ilefcnl.

NEW LIGHT IN A LABYRINTH THE dismal round of check nnd counter check in the transit situation has been broken by tlf Public Service Commission en the generous infraction of one of its own rulis. .Heretofore It has been the practice of the Stati- Commission te deny consideration in advance of any public lease .or agreement between municipalities tnd public service corporations. The custom Is admirable In principle, but there are instances in which it ma make for exasperating delays. If Ihe Frankfurt! "h" lease which the city and the P. K. T. nt Inst give, signs of ccnttin!lv favoring should be overthrown by the public -erwre authorities this transit problem weull be niire nunc overcome with confusion. Anether period of jenrs might conceivably Inter enc before a new rap prochement could be achicM-tl. As the case new stands the Commission will inspect the compact and appraise mooted points before the interested parties lune afhvcd their signetirts. Such nn ar rangement is breail-miuiii'il. Intelligent ami cnlculated te spate the public a new session of vexation anil discouragement. It Is worth noting, moreover, that the Interest of both i'h Knpld Transit Company and miinicipalliy in n.r Commission's opin ion of the lease lends substantial color te the hope that a pnu tienl agreement, author izing the operation of the Frankford cle vutetl, Is in slglii. If Pliiladiphian-. are net entirely jaded by the protracted wrangling they may take heart In the present prospect Something xery much like a solution lias been accorded the Irish preuli-m. Is it tee fantastic te linngine thut transit diffii ullies will seen be repaired' In any eienl the Public Service Commis sion Is te be complimented en its readiness te help.

At the same lime the situation is net one linn mil be mastered simply, bj geed intentions. nnd there nre practical obstacles in the way of a per formance that is ndmittedlv desirable. Dr. Martin.

In a letter te Council he points out that the neilheast s-w age-disposal plant, upon which work was started In lfil", is net yet finished nnd that the ambitious original program has lagged because of former war omlitlens and through lack of appropria tions. It will de no harm for the city te be piedded en this subject Nevertheless it is decidedly uiier te disruis municipal funds than te raise them. Philadelphln has n number of important projects en Its hands in addition te the ordinary undertakings c-sentuil t.i the rate and management of a nn tropelis.

Ills peculiar attainments were known le few nnd they were mostly newspapermen of the time. He jiad but n smattering of education nnd his misuse of English just nbeut put one's teeth en edge. "They uscn't te de them there sort of things when I wns n boy," wns one of his characteristic expressions when declaiming against the practices of the rising genera tion. Chnrlcs Sinclair knew mere about old Philadelphia, its legends, Its odd characters, its historic buildings and crimes thou any ether mnn I ever met. Possessed of n keen appreciation of news values, he would, had he possessed the necessary education nnd training, lmvc made n city or mannglng editor of discrimination nnd ability.

TY WHAT menus Charles Sinclair became -- possessed of this knowledge, as I run back ever the incident, is beticthlng of n mj story. 1 fancy It wns through a combination of local tradition and possibly sonic glimpse nt forgotten history, for he was an omnivorous render of newspapers. Talleyrand, otherwise Chnrles Maurice iiilleyrnnil-Pcrigenl. HMiep of Anliin. was nbeut forty .xciirs old when lie came te Phil adelphia. He was conspicuous because of his pecu liar appearance. He had a large body, while his legs were small and his feet deformed, which caused n lameness as he walked. He had very light hair, worn long ami parted in the middle. b Talleyrand came te America te get as far nwuy n.s possible from France. TJ1S first bnnie, ns pointed out 100 jcars -1--- afterwerd, was fn n house at the south east corner of Drinkers alley, en Second street between Hncc and Vine. ' He also' lived for a while in Geddartls alley, which does net new exist, but Is sup posed te. have been n continuation of Weed street. It is a fact attested by historians that while lying here Talleyrand was very peer. All his Income from France was shut oft, arid he was compelled te support himself ns best he could. This doubtless gave rise te the story that he once kept a shop for the sale of buttons. ihe tradition might have been founded en the fact that his rooms at the corner of Sec eiul s(p,.t d Drinkers nllcv were ever n stoic where buttons were sold. TALLEYKAND'S last home while in Phil ndelphln wns at Ocllcr's Hetel. It was afterwanl known as .Jenes' Hetel, located en Chestnut street between Sixth nnd .Seventh streets, adjoining the present I'Uli I'Uli I.ie Lumui Iluildlng. It was a well-known hestelrv nnd wns frequented a great deal by the French who visited Philadelphia. The first demonstration in this citv fol lowing the declaration of the French ie. public was at Ocllcr's Hetel by a number of frenchmen and Americans. The hotel itself xUls tvvo-nnd-n-half-Mery building with a single entrance off Chestnut stieet. Shortly after his nrrlvnl Tallevrand be came nnturnlied as a citizen of this, reuntrv Ills purpose doubtless was In the event t fut ther trouble in France te claim American citizenship.

Hurley, principal of the Philadelphia High Scheel for Girls. "During the few months Hint have clnpsed since 1 became- principal." said Dr. Hurler, "I have been greatly Impressed .with the wide range of opportunity opened up by our style of education. In no branch of edu cation' hns there Been a grenter change in the public attitude of the last three or tour decedes: tliun In that for women. "It is eminently proper that such should be the case. Net enlv does the higher edu cation of women confer many benefits upon these who receive It, but the inlluence which this knowledge and understanding exert upon the coming generations can scarcely be overestimated. The woman who has received a geed education herself is net the one te permit her children te enter the battle of life without the bet education which it is possible for her te obtain for them. In tills manner the spread of knowledge nml the ne cessity for educational opportunities receive nn impetus which could hardly be brought about se thoroughly and efficiently in any ether way.

"This in itself Is nn excellent record, nml one of which net only the faculty of the school but I !' students thcuibclvc.s me proud.

An institu tion which is contributing this great service te the city is surely fulfilling Its mission. "The teaching profession Is one te which women are peculiarly adapted, for mnny rea sons. Their keener sympathies win the con cen lidence of the children quickly nnd effectively, nnd their Inlluence, though gentle, is none the less potent.
