BUCKET-SHOP SCENERY ' A N OIL company that went, an they Fay, A bloeey net long age and left many small Investors waiting nnd wringing their hands lid business for a long time under thp name of an old Philadelphia family which, for rcnuy generations, had, ben honorably asso ciated with financial affairs of tarleus sorts in this and ether cities. It was found after the failure that no one of this name was at any time associated with the stock-jobbing concern. A man cannot copyright his name. This Is somehow regrettable in the present btate of affairs. Tew of the people "who (succumb te the propaganda of contemporary Walling fords knew that Geerge W. Perkins died i few years age. The firm that operated under Mr. Perkins name and led a let of people te speculate rather wildly in (icrman markb before It collapfced doubtless found that the pound of a name te which it had no moral right exercised drawing power with a public "which once knew Mr. PerkinH as a financier of high btnnding and great influence. FOOLING THEMSELVES? IK ORDER te meet the criticism of Secre tary Mellen, the Ways and Means Com mittee has amended ita Benus Bill by pro pre r riding that the leans made by the banks en the bonus certificates may be rcdUceunted ut ether banks of the same class. Mr. Mellen had pointed out that the leans, which would be for three years or there abouts, would tie up the available assets of the banks because tbey could net be redis redis ceunted. Every one was agreed that they should net be redlsceunted at the Federal Reserve Banka. Se in order te make it ap ', 'pear that the charge of freezing credits wax unfounded the committee has arranged that Ihe frozen credits mny be (.blfti-d about nmeng the banks which hnve mnde the leans as though that would thaw them out. , Ne matter hew the leans may b shifted about from bank te bank the nhlfting will net decrease by a dollar the amount leaned. If each bank lends all that it can afford en the certificates, then no bauk will be willing te rediscount the leann of another bank, and the remedy becomes futile. It would be curious te knew whether the members of the committee are feeling them selves or whether they are trying te feel the service men. THE OLD FIGHT AGAINST BABEL THE restoration of the study of German te the cuiricuium of the Philadelphia V'jbllc schools was inevitable.

It Is, however, an equally Indisputable (act that the German language is an exUtlng medium for the expres.iien of human thought and that It has been developed Jn literary and scientific productions of signal value. And en the materialistic side German Is one of the foremebt idioms of trade.

NATIONAL ISSUES MUST WAIT WHILE POLITICIANS DICKER State Republican Leadera Seam te Think It Mere Important te Make Their Own Oeala Than te Give Harding Anether Vete In the Senate SENATOR CKOW'H announcement through hid friends Uiat he uill net seek re election does net go far enough, The reasons en which this decision is based are Htreng enough te induce the Sen Sen aeor te resign at enec In order that the Governer maj appoint u nun phytlcnlly able te lake bis cnt In Washington nnd co-operate Willi his fellow Republicans In supporting the policies of thp Administra tion. The appointment of Mr. Crew wag n mis take in the first place. It as made by Governer Hpreul ngainbt his better judg ment en the demand of thi practical poll pell poll ticlane. wlie wanted another Senater who talked their language and was In sympathy with their hunger for patronage. "Crew Is a i'oed fellow nnd the h think he ought te hate the 30b," ! what uas said te the Governer. Senater Penrose was then alive nnd Senater Knox, uhe had ,iut died, had net interested himself in helping the county lenders ictaitt their power through the dis tribution of patronage. It was known at the time that Mr. Crew was ill and the date of his prebablp recovery uncertain. The nature of his ailment is such that it was definitely known, however, that recovery would be delayed a long time. But the appointment vfas made, and then Senater Penrose died. The Governer did his best te atone for the first blunder by naming Mr. Pepper te the new vacancy. 1'nlcss Senater Crew TelgiM it N morally certain that Senater Pepper will hue te de nil the work until after the November elec tion, and It Is certain aKe that the Repub licans will be short a vote In the Senate which they will need very much before the summer is err. National lnteie$ts arc being sacrificed te State politics The anneiinci-nient of the withdiawal of Senater Crew from the raie for nomination in the printnrles has been delayed without any doubt in order te gle the leaders an opportunity te come te emc ort of an agreement en the man who ir. te become a candidate te succeed Senater Knox. It leeks as if tentative agreement hail been reached en Jehn A. Bell, of Pittsburgh. Mr. Bell, who is sixty-nine years old, has a dsire te "round out hi' career.'' as the politicians say. with n term in the United States Senate. He began life with nothing. By diligence and economy he accumulated a little money nnd went into the banking business, and through the opportunities thus wen he has accumulated n large fortune. He is respected by his business associates and has an unlarnUUed reputation for honesty. He has never been a practical pelltlclRn, but for emc years lie. has been iutciestcd in politic in a large way. It was this in terest which led him last year te become the financial backer of Mr. Magee in the cam paign for the mayoralty of Pittsburgh, lie believed that Mr. Mage would de all in his power te improve the government of the city and that some of the men opposing him did net want any betterment. Se he spent his money nnd Mr. Magee was elected. There is no suggestion fhnt any of the money was lived improperly and Mr. Bll has net been unduly criticized for opening his purse, for they knew in Pittsburgh that a political campaign cannot be carried en without money for advertising and printing and for hiring balls and for innumerable ether legitimate purposes. As a Senater, assuming that he is te be nominated and elected, Mr. Bell would be a representative of the sentiment of which Pittsburgh is the center, just as Senater Knox was a representative of that senti ment, and as Senater Penrose waB the rep resentative of similar sentiment In this end of the State. This ij one of the greatest Industrial Commonwealths In the I'nien, and it has been represented In the Senate for years by men who believed that it whs their duty te defend the State's industrial Interests. They were convinced that was the host way te serve the whole State, for if the industries were prosperous they argued that the work ing men and women dependent for their living en the. waes paid by the Industries would alie be prosperous. Mr. Bell as a candidate would net plearc thn little politician for they will net feel frce te go te his office und say: "See here, Jlmmlc. there are two or three men I've get te teke care of. What can you de for me? Isn't there a nice job down in Wash ington you can get for them?" Because .Mr. Crew was the kind of man who devoted himself te finding Jobs, he was the kind of Senater the Uttle fellows would have ULed. Other things being equal, they would rather have a Senater like Ciew than ltke Bell. But the friends of Mr. Bell are likely te pass the word along that "the old man has a big barrel nnd jeu can tap It if y0u go about It in the right way" ; and this an nouncement, made in the right querlers, will have considerable effect. But the nomination of Mr. Bell Is net assured until the people who are insisting that the political rights of the working man should be considered have been appeased. William J. Burke, of Pittsburgh, Cen-grcssman-at-Large, has ambitions wlilch he thinks can be rved by becoming a can didate for the botiatersblp. He in n labor leader with a following, and with a dispo sition te magnify his claims te further honors. It Is conceivable, however, that he Is merely seeking assurance that he will be sent back te the Heuse, and If he can get that he will net content with Mr. Bell or Mr. Pepper a nomination for the Senate. A FAVORITE SON IMPERILED BATTLING for the people's rights, elms lifting the Southern Pacific Railroad and tending heroically for the dignity of several i.-.illiens of the white nice menaced in Ihe nun-kissed State by n horde of perhaps n hundred thousand Asiatic, Hiram Jehnsen was an Ingratiating figure, California adored him.

But despite what some persons have considered ctldcnccs te the contrary, California Is'penetrable by thought. Seme of Senater Jehnsen's former constit uents hnve been thinking. Among these Is n considerable group who did net quite ie gnrd the Lcague-of-Nntlens idea ns the in famy envisaged by their legnte In Washing ton. Ner did they dlcevcr in Mr. Hearst tl'tt repository of virtues which Mr. John Jehn John Hen. since bccemlnz his attorney, seems te hnve found. Qualms nt home have lately been accentu ated by Mr. JohiiBeu'H belligerent attitude upon ihe Four-Power Treaty. Recalci trancy, it appears, can be overdone. Mr. Jehnsen opposed the Democratic program of international stability. He is equally in tended eer the Republican proposals. What, outside of political preferment, does he want? The Inability of numbers of Ca'ifernlans te answer tills question ntlsfncterlly ha (ibvleucly prompted n movement once unim aginable. A rival Republican candidate for the Senate has been suggested. He Is nn individual of some distinction j In fact, none ether than Herbert Hoever, who happens just new te be Investigating water conserva tion and distribution possibilities in the ex treme Southwest.

He will, however, be visited in Phoenix today by a repretrn inflve delegation from men nnd wemc.i throughout California, im hiding bankers, newspaper uioprleter". nmtufnctirerH and farmers. The revolt against Jehnsen is ns Miming rea'istic proportions. It is beginning te leek nH if Mr. IIoecr mi3ht win the toga, if his Inclinations are In that direction. It Ih putting it mildly, although pcrhapr with M-nnt regard for the freuslbillttes of Callfernians of the ballyhoo tjpe. te suggest that the presence of Herbert Hoever in the Senate and especially as the rcpresentativu of the Gelden State would he little tdiert of a national benefaction. MITTEN WINS MR. MITTEN, his 11.000 empleyes and hi theory of co-operative management of great utilities wen with astonishing ense jicstcrday in the meeting of P. R. T. stock holder.. The question before this meeting was whether the theory of profits first or the progressive and mere or less experimental administrative system created through the co-operation of men nnd their bosses, and nltlmnte profit-sharing, tdieuld govern the affairs of tbe trolley corporation in the future. The TCpenslbll!tIe. that pe with victory ami they nre lmnrlably heavy and compli cated lie new upon Mitten and his men. Few people will immediately renlie the significance of the departure from preredent which the outcome of yesterday's meeting represents. The P. R. T. enters automati cally into a new and mere hopeful phase of pxi-tenee. Jehn W. McElroy. an energetic representative of the working personnel, sits upon the Beard of Directors, and virtually every man and woman en the company's ' payrolls owns at least a share of the com pany's hteck. nnd Is assured, moreover, of shnrlng In "ueh profits ns efficient nnd eco nomical operation of the lines makes possi ble. The V. R. T. is no longer in danger of being gobbled up, by absentee financiers vthe have been dreaming of a vast airtight monopoly of Eastern trolley lines, modeled after the Public Service Corporation of New Jersey, and a universal ten-rent fare. Ce-operative management In industries Is net nc-v. Ce-operative management of pub lic utilities in the form contemplated by Mitten Is unique. It emerges from the welter of economic theory 11s an Institution peculiar te Philadelphia. Much of the suc cess or failure of the nrrangement will be due te the empleyes themselves. They have been guided and inspired by Mitten, nnd they seem te have Infinite trust in him. They may have te exercise the virtues of patience nnd great Industry in order te reallze the best that is In the co-epei-ntive plan, and they may have te absorb much of the Mlttcn philosophy of fair play and square dealing. Mitten himself will have a freer hand than he has had thus far, partly because he has achieved a sort of Independence for his company and partly because of the corpora tion's new prosperity. The city, the P. R. T. stockholders nnd the transit empleyes are fortunate In having the terviccs of a man who, being rich in his own right, can nfferd te labor for the fun lie gets out of it. Thnt Is about what Mitten bus been doing. He has stnrfed an experiment which may yet indicate a palnles and universally sat isfactory way of escape fiem the labor com plications of these times. He will still hr.ve te pay cnoimeus tells te the franchise-grabbers who nre the ex acting landlords of Philadclphla'.s streets, with power te collect enormous tributes from the P. R. T. In return for the rights frf operate trolley cars. But he seems te feel that with the aid of his empleyes he can sn strengthen his corporation ps te make It stronger than its parasites. Te de this he should have the co-operation of the City Administration. Therefore there should be n speedy compromise at City Hall, se that the company can begin speedily te operate the I'rnnkferd elevated under reasonable terms. The ceutse of affairs en the trolley lines for the next few years will have an aspect of something like romance. It iU show whether scientific and conscientious man agement and a willingness te co-operate te thn fullest extent wiih labor in the operation of utilities can be made te pay, whether the strangle-held which co-operating political and financial groups cel en American street ear lines in the past can actually be broken and whether strikes are unnecessary te in dustrial safety and progress.

D. 1022 tbe mnn responsible for the sterv of Mrs. O'Lcary's cow which started the Chicago Tire In October, 1871, mere than fifty years age. Majer Jehn B. Jeffrey is the man, an upstanding seteran journalist done all in white, who was at that diwtnnt dutc editor of the Chicago -Journal. The Chicago lire had burned the plants of every newspaper in that city, but across the river Majer Jeffrey found nn insignificant press and some mis cellany of type owned by the man who pub lished the city directory. Being urged by .General Philip V. Sheridan, who had taken ecl the city, te print n paper te help the morale of the people, he attempted te get out n sheet in this makeshift plant. With his own hands he set a front page which car ried the scare-heads of the great calamity. When he get down te the details of the fire he had net much mntcrial unen which te go. About that time, however, Dan Heran came into the shop. Dan being nn Irish boy in his employ, at the time considerably under the Influence of liquor. "Dan," said the editor, 'iwhat de you knew nbeut the cause of the fire?" "Faith." said the Irishman, "I knew nil about it." And he proceeded te elucidate the facts. "Yeu see.'' said Dan. "Mrs. O'l.enry was out in th barn milking her cow. The '0w kicked ever the lantern, which set the straw en lire. The wind blew the flames Inte the gas work and from the gas wer';- they spiead te the city, and there you li the whole story of a gteat conflagration. ' Majer Jeffrey set the type for this story with hi6 own hands and his sheet, the first paper lsued in Chicago nftcr the fire, car ried the story te the world. Few newspaper stories hnve ever been printed that becumc mero widely Known. This one hns often been denied and endless contreersles eer It llne lestllted. Thcie could be no better (Uitheiity en the genesis of it than a state ment of the facts as here related te me In Washington by the man responsible for its hnWng been given te the world. "Before the Chicago fire," said Majer Jeffrey, "newspnpers had never used heavy display heads. When I came te get out my Impressed sheet In a ni:ikchltt plant I found little else nvailable but eim cases of heavy tjpe. This I used, net from choice but from nccestltj. Se there appeared aciess the lop of this first newspaper pub llshed lifter the fire the big black seatehend: 'The Calamity of the Ages, h was fol lowed by another line which read: 'Chicago In Ashes.' "Fer several dnys we published a paper with this same type and evirj day It bensted these fluring scareheads. Many edi tors, saw them, were impressed bj the iger with which they flatbed an idea. They fol fel fol lewed suit and began using heavy tjpe n the front pages. Se was a journalistic Idea born which has Miice become a commonplace in American journalism." The week thnt followed the Chicago fire. Majer Jeffrey further statis, (,aw the birth of a new American jnstltutlen, the Wild West Shew, nnd the firet appearance of Buffalo Bill, thut man who, lu bin life time, showed te mere people than un Indi vidual since the world began. Gciurnl Sheridan thought something should be done for the eutcrtninment of the poeplc of the stricken city. He cnlled upon Teny Paster, the circus man; sent te New New Yerk for Ned Buntlin, the writer of Wild West sterlli, nnd called in bin two chief scouts, Buffalo Bill and Texas Jack, both remarkable marksmen, and thus staged and prcss-agcutcd their first public appearance. Albert Jeremiah Beverldge, former Sean ter from Indiana, is again in the spotlight, hnxliig decided te tusnle with Senater Hurry New for his old place in the upper house of Congress. This re-ente of the anther, orator, law yer, statesman, into politics reminds Tem Shlpp, who was once, his tccretnrv and who afterward ran for Cengxesn en his own, of the most trying raemeut In the Beverldge career. A cuntpalgn was nt its height. There were scores of key men from different parts of the State.
