An appropriation of $-00,000 was recommended, but action of a practical, en ergetic kind has net been taken. Mr. Gruenberg's organization does net exaggerate the crisis. The water problem is fully realized by Chief Davis, but without large-scale aid his bureau can indulge In little mere than tinkering te tide ever emer gencies ns they occur. If the Fnlrmnunt Dam situation is ignored by Council it will berieusly imperil the city's growth and prove a Itment.iblf embarrassment te the Scsqul-l'entennial program.

THE MAYOR AND THE FAIR By GEORGIS NOX McCAIN TIIKRli was published en Tuesday last In the Evemiyu Punue Ledeeb an article under the writer's signature containing an outline of the proceedings nt n recent meet ing of the Heard of Directors of the Scsqui Ccntennlnl Association. In that article it was stated, In a general way, that Mayer ,T. Hampton Moero had attacked. Edward W. Rek, a member of the beard, who was then absent from the city. Mr. llek, it will be recalled, had some weeks previously offered personally te pny n salary of $50,000 a year te Secretary Her bert Hoever if he would accept the position of director general of the Sciqul-Centennial exposition. The meetings of the Beard of Directors of the Sesqui-Centennlal are held behind closed doers. Neither Is a stenographer em ployed te report the addresses of the various members. The remarks of Mayer Moere en the occasion In question were given In substance and from memory by theso present. Exact verbiage was net contemplated. The trend of thought behind the words was fully indi cated. The facts were correct. Mayer Moere has fice taken occasion te Issue a statement declariug the entire article te be untrue. His exact language was, "False from start te finish." "He denied flatly that he had ever criti cized Mr. Uok or cast any aspersions en his offer te pay for n director for the 101.0 exposition," the reporter's statement says. It is unfortunate for Mayer Moere that he Is the victim of a treacherous memory, or he might have recalled certain things which would have modified his vehement disavowal of any criticism of Mr. Bek in this con nection. The purpose of the article in question, as well as of the preliminary publication of March 20, criticizing the Mayer and a little coterie of the Sesqui-Centennlal directors, was te call attention te the fact that this vast project of international scope and na tional pride was In danger of failure be cause of the manifestly dilatory methods of Mayer Moere and a few of his friends. The improper reference te Mr. IJek, net even veneered with parliamentary geed judgment, was net the first time that Mayer Moere, despite his denial of the fact, had made resentful or satirical references te this member of his beard. At a Liens' Club luncheon at the Adelphia the Mayer aimed this shaft, which wsls clearly understood te be Intended for Mt Bek: "Many suggestions have come from abroad and from thene who sojourn In Maine iu the summer and Flerida in the winter." On another and later occasion lie said : "I am tired of getting letters from Maine te Flerida from people who oie trying te show me hew te de things. Why don't they come here and de some w;erk thcpisclves?" Frem the very Inception of the Idea of obtaining a man of national prominence te head the Scsqul-Centennial Mnjer Moere has displayed an almost childish objection. He hns denounced the suggestion and nt- tacked it from various angles. His first objection was that stud, an offi cial was net needed ; second, that it might be possible te secure a man of International prominence who would undertake the re sponsibilities of the position for 1 a jcar; finally, he insisted that the great enterprise could be brought te successful completion through governing committees. Frem the beginning all these objections were apparently intended te delay, te divert discussion, te keep the problem of selecting a directing head in abeyance. It was understood that Majer Moere was a candidate presumptive for the director generalship. With the expiration of his term, but a little mere than n jear and a half distant, delay would facilitate the plans of his immediate friends in his behalf. Mayer Moere's attitude concerning this accepted ambition festered the impression. On February 17, when the Bolt-Hoever offer was finally uncovered, Mr. Moere was asked, becaune of the curious irritation he then betrayed, If it was true that he aspired te be the directing bend of the exposition. "I have absolutely nothing te say en that point," he declared. Te another reporter who nppreached him en the same subject the Mayer replied sneer- ingly : "Is it possible that we have men in Phila delphia capable of undertaking 50 vast an enterprise? Would it be possible, according te some of our spindle-backed critics, te find any one in Philadelphia who could de any thing as well ns it might be done by some one from Idaho or Arizona?" This outburst was delivered at a time when Muyer Moere was privately dickering with Victer Resewatcr, of Nebraska, te be come publicity agent. Mr. Resewatcr was net acceptable te the beard and was then designated "assistant te President" Moere, ut n salary of $7.V)0 and no definite duties lu sight. I'nder the circumstances it was net te be expected that Mayer Moero would receUe with equanimity or illlght the suggested offer of Mr. Bek te pay Herbert Hoever $00,000 a year. The above may also explain another lapse of memory en the part of the Mayer. Has he forgotten thnt after Mr. Bek wrote te him last December as chairman of the beard offering te pay Herbert Hoever $.,0,000 that he, Mayer Moere, pigeon holed the letter for weeks? It was for the same reason, doubtless, that Mayer Moern again pigeonholed .Mr. Belt's latest offer te puy a salary of 50,000 n ear te Charlej M, Schwab if he could he Induced te dcwite his great and varied talents and superb executive ability te the Sesqul-Ceutennlal project. With the Bek-Schwab offer in his desk for weeks, Mnyer Sfpere replied evasively fojJiei.

I have been nwny for n few days and don't knew what is en my desk. I wish you wouldn't nsk me about thnt new," he said. The Bek offer with the name of Charles M. Schwab attached was smothered in City Hall by Mayer Moere until this week, when the fact was forced out in Washington In connection with the threat of Congressman Mndden te withheld Federal old for the project unless a big man were selected te head the exposition. It was with 11 full knowledge of these facts, and the fear that the puttering delay and piddling tactics of the Mayer and n little handful of satellites would endanger the project that will mark a great mllcstone in Philadelphia's progress, that the articles were written which have caused such per turbation and Indignant denial en the part of .'Majer Moere. It was necessary for somebody, by telling the real facts of the situation, te jolt the stiaiiglcheld of n llttle self-seeking cabal en the project. It was In the hope of doing this that the articles in question, and particularly the one of Tuesday evening last, were written. They seem te nave accomplished this purpose. JOFFRE AFTER FIVE YEARS JOSEPH CESAIRE JOFFRE, tourist, is W back in Washington under conditions differing rndically from these of his raptur ous American visit. Historical proportions novo been undergoing considerable changes since 1017. The valuable asset of hind sight hns been steadily accumulated. The sense of perspective has altered numerous appraisements of personalities and events. On the whole, however, "envious and calumlnating time" has dealt considerately with the dominating figure of victory at the epochal first battle of the Marne. The process of muck-raking the war has been almost as busily carried en in France as in vanquished Germany. Fictitious reputa tions have been shattered. Martyrs te po litical mnchlnntiens or incompetence In ad ministration have been abundantly revealed. If Marshal Jeffro has emerged from these retrespects shorn of the nura of the super man, he gains In stature by his dissimi larity te the somewhat impossible creature of overheated American Imaginations. There was n tendency In this country In 1017 te regard the first of 'the new tnnrshals of Frnnce ns a kind of Santa Clans in uni form. The endearing epithet "Papa Jeffre" doubtless helped te fester this legend. As a matter of fact, records new available exhibit the distinguished commander as n rugged and obstinate campaigner, ripened with colonial experience, intolerant of the highly rarefied pedantry with which the two scientific schools of French strategy were impregnated, often intolerant of suggestions, but determined net te be beaten. It was iger of personality that wen the day for Jeffre. Historians will continue te nrgue upon the accidental aspects of the first Marne, hew much of the French retreat, which In the end reacted se unfavorably against the fee, was deliberately planned and te what extent the prompt resourcefulness of Gal licni, Military Governer of Paris, con tributed te the final success. There will be debate also concerning Jeffre's abrupt dismissal of Lanzerac, whose victory at Guise was nt once se boldly achieved and se barren. Perhaps it was humanly impossible for Jeffre te capitalize this unique counter-blew. Here is feed for the experts qjiitc ns rich as the campaigns of McClellan. But criticism, although it may disparage the Marshal's judgment, as in the case of the preparations for the Verdun drive, can not deprive .leffre of his authentic place in history. In the campaign en which his fame will rest he wen because of tempera mental, basaltic, patriotic ebstinney. This transcended the efficacy of conscious Fcicncc. Je-eph Jeffre, traveling unofficially, has been cordially greeted in Washington. The plaudits are deserved, though their recipient differs essentially from the myth once te rhaped!cally accepted. -rue- tiAiiu -..- 1 iiuimvi LOUHrtS, I THE first land attack ever made upon the entire naval defensive forces of a first- ciass rower nas tailed. The members of the Heuse of Representatives appear te have decided that the safety of the country Is mere important than the political career of an occasional politician whose chatter about governmental economy might have assured his re-election te Cengies from one or an other of the Middle-West districts. The Heuse has voted as a whole te sup port President HurdlnR's demand for a naval enlisted personnel of net less than S0.000. Representative Patrick II. Kclley, of Michigan, generalissimo of the navy wreckers, had almost convinced the Heuse that 01,000 fwlers would he mere than enough for us. Even with a personnel of 80,000 men, the American Navy will be at a disadvan tage. Great Britain will maintain a larger force. Moreover, her fleets, like the fleets of the Japanese, are manned by veterans and managed with a Wew te constantly in creasing efficiency. Congressional naval es timates have been based en ship weights nnd numbers. But no one in Washington seems te see anything te worry about in the fact that the large majority of our own bluejackets are serving first enlistments and arc, therefeie, less expert than the sea soned crews found erdinnrlly en naval ves sels of ether countries. JERSEY'S JITNEYS EXPERIENCE with the new jitney serv ire organizations has been teaching the people in New Jersey that the day of the railroad tialn and the trolley car hns net jet jia-sed, and that reformers in Industry, liku these In politics, seldom need anything mete than time and opportunity te become geed reactionaries. Fer a time it seemed that the Jitney would bring u shining millennium for tne strap-hanger In Jersey it was hailed as a deliverance and an assurance of comfort able trniiblt and low fares. In these days tlii jlinej wits a modest deviie and its owner wui eager te get along. Since then the jitney men have organized and merged and merged again, and they have developed nmbitien and 11 (orperatlon conscience. Fares are going up. And when the resi dents of Bungalow Park, an Atlantic City suburb, "ought te obtain legulnr jitney service they were told thut they would he assured of the convenience if they were willing te pay thlrtj -cent fares. The distance from Atlantic City te Bungalow Park Is net great. Even the roundly abused trolley lines of Jersey carry passengers farther for ten cents. Samuel t'enilcy, a seashore lefermer, is threatening te show the jitney capitalists up. But that will de little geed. What Jersey needs is net a showing up of Jltnej combines, but n, well-behaved Public Utilities Commission which will net weaken nnd demoralize the utilities corporations by ever-petting and eyer-feeding them.

LOWRIE ON A dining car the ether day our oppo site neighbor started the casual conver sational bnll rolling by producing n handful pf paper-shelled pecan nuts nt dessert and, cracking them with n quick pressure, he presented them te the three diners of our party. He announced cheerfully that he was re turning from New Yerk, where he had just sold this coming year's crop te a well-known grocery firm Held it en the trees down en his Georgia plantation and he mentioned n big sum even te our ears, though it was considerably under a dollar n pound, where as we pny retail considerably ever. He confessed that pecans were a surer and ensier crop than cotton, and that he had departed from the traditions of four gener ations en his family plantation and gene into their culture, dropping cotton com pletely. He spoke of the county scat near his place and described It as having taken n new lease In life politically and socially with the change in markets. Apparently most of his neighbors had followed suit as te their crops. Curiously enough, no local growers hnd been the originators of the Idea. Seme Chicago speculators had come 'down and made the experiment, proved their point nnd eventually gained the local producers ever te seeing thnt there was an even better market for eatables in this country than for wearables. I ASKED him hew the rise In prosperity hnd made itself felt politically. "Well," he sold, "just about the time that we began te feel the wur Inflation and the nut success the women get the vetel Well, they certainly took an awful interest In politics in my town. Members of two historic sects belonged te the let that run things pretty much te please themselves they were the original old families there abouts nnd accustomed te saying what of fices they wanted nnd what they wouldn't care te undertake, and the newcomers could hove. Seme of the newcomers had been there fifty, seventy-five, maybe n hundred years, but they were members of ether de nominations, and, of course, some had come in since the Civil War te work at one thing or another. Well, sir, these joined together and fought the women of the elder sects. Why, I tell you It was het in that town round election, and especially In the churches nnd en the steps after (service. The women sort of put the ruction up at fever heat. "In the end t,he newcomers beat us te a frazzle; they had always had the numbers, but had never fought it en these lines before. I had te laugh at one old cousin of mine who was se nngry that she said she would move out of the county where Interlopers were permitted te wrest the gov ernment from the rightful owners becnuse tbey were able te poll a few mere votes!" And his memory of it made hlra laugh again as he told it te us. I WAS Interested later te have a Southern editor telj me very gravly that that town was no exception, nnd thnt throughout Georgia and Alabama nnd Mississippi and even Louisiana the rallying places politi cally for the women were their church or ganizations in the matter of local candi dates. He said It never occurred te the churches net te come out strongly for one or another candidate, nnd he remarked that it was part of their strength. Of course, I hnd been brought up en just the opposite theory, viz., that it would be n point of weakness and prebnbiy ruin if n clergyman nnd his congregation came out en masisc for any one candidate or any spe cific lecnl or even State measure. "Mixing religion with politics" hns'becn frowned upon by my generation ns mixing business with plcnsure was taboo in the so ciety of our grandparcutb. Since women get the vote they have even achieved a greater fent of slnglemlndcdncss. In certain avowedly political clubs and or ganizations they have refused te mix politics with partisanship. That is, they teach their members te think and te act politically, but they de net allow them te act collectively politically by Indorsing candidates or party treasures. A.s 11 consequence, ull during the J ear between elections they ere building u machine which during elections cannot func tion. Many of the women who were political before the franchise nnd, indeed, who worked strenuously nnd successfully te get the francfiise, have in this curious wny dis franchised themselves by lopping themselves of nil value politically until the morning when as private citizens, net ns leaders of their political, nen-pnrtlsan organization, they secretly shed their vote. Fer the very fact that one Is a leader mnkes pnrtisanship of an effective "dare te be n Daniel sort" ngainst the rules in these "between-elec-tiens political bodies." THEY remind me of a very learned and dignified professor who undertook te saw the limb off n tree in his front jard while his daughter steed nt first admiring, later adjuring, and still later pitying him. Te all her wurnings he continued te say: "Marlen, I knew what I am about." until he had quite sawed himself nnd the end of the branch upon which he was poised with such assurance onto the lawn nt her feet. "Fellow citiens, we knew what we are about," Is the dignified announcement of the non-partisan political lady lenders of clubs nnd federations nnd leagues that were organized te move mountains of political reform by a minimum of partisanship. Well, who cares what they knew if they de net intend te use their knowledge until It is tee lute te nffect a single vote. I am net bure that the Southern way of unmuzzling the churches is .net better lu the end for the churches and the country. New, ns It Is up here, If n minister preaches n partisan sermon, calling bad names like contractors, and machines, and bosses nnd such nnd urging his fleck net te s.ell their votes either for five dollars or five hundred thousand dollars, or for n thou-sand-dollar appointment or a million-dollar rake-off, he has te place the scene nnd ac tion somewhere in Patagonia, or he will be blamed for being tee realistic and knocking some pcwhelders' pet political aspirant. He hns, lu fact, te be ns general na the Com mandments, and name no names and cite no proofs nnd leave his hearers just as wise ns lie found them nnd no mere repentant nbeve all, uet angry.' ' YET we none of us cautions ein deny that all our religions sects at one time and nt the time they can were were strongest political as well Us educntlnnnl or philanthropic, or .sacerdotal. In fact, it was net until you came down te the Ethical Culture movements .and the Christian Sci ence and the New Thought that men did net builil their religious sects en some great political burning question of right or wrong. Se If It wants Brecedent the church has the strongest kind of precedent te be actively political. When its rounder was asked te express political opinions, he gave it as his judgment that the Jews owed a tax te Caesar as well ns te Ged. He said : "Ge tell Hered, that fox !" He culled the political parties of his own people by iTnmes that would lese n modern pastor his charge. Calvin and Luther and Crnnmcr and Huss nnd Knox nnd Fex and Penu were cry specific In their politics; se were the Wcs lejs and Bishop White and Carrell; se were' St. Benedict and St. Francis nnd Lojela. The one thing that seems net te have gene with the Christians from St. Jehn's day te the close of our Civil War was lukewnrm ncsti or hiding epe s light under uny kind of u bushel. And be I nm wondering If the Southern women, with their religion nnd polities, may net hnvc get n mere worknbte combination than our political non-partisanship or our non-political religion.

CATTELL On "Philadelphia, a City That la" PHILADELPHIANS are far tee apt te . dwell en the glorious past of their city unil net enough en Its tremendous "pres ent," according te Edward Jnmcs Cattcll, City Statistician. "Out of a rather wide opportunity for observation both nt home and abroad," said Mr. Cnttell, "nnd in nnswer te the Phila delphia traditions which I have inherited from four generations of Philadelphia an cestors, I feel thnt today Philadelphia, ns n net result of her normal life, has developed certain phases of life which must be Imi tated by ether cities in the United States if our country is successfully te lead the world back te the paths of pleasantness and peace. "Franklv, I grew tired of nil the talk of 'Philadelphia firsts.' As un old saying has It. 'The man who talks about his ancestors Is like the potnte: the best part of him Is underground.' I love the dear old Liberty Bell ns well ns nny one, but I feel that we have emphusled our past greatness until people come te regnrd our greatness ns a thing which bus entirely "passed. Leeking Forward, Net Backward "Te be werths, of a great past, we must hove a great present, nnd If we nre pcr petuallv looking backward we cannot be going forward without danger of 'coming n cropper.' I find everywhere u kindly feel ing toward Philadelphia, hut tee often it Is the kindly nnd respectful feeling entertained in the home for the dear old grandfather, who, out of uffectlen, must be given the best scat ncnret the fire nnd out of the draft, but, nevertheless, the grandfather who, when real work Is te be done or im portant mntters discussed, must be ignored nnd left te dreams of whnt once was. "Seme fourteen yeurs age, when I coined the phrase Philadelphia, the world's great est workshop,' it was challenged all ever the country because the gross values of the manufactured product of Chicago nnd New New Yerk were greater than the total of goods produced in Philadelphia. My answer te this was that quality rather than quantity counts most In the measure of the greatness of an lndlvldunl or of n city. "Many men In Pennsylvania weighed twice ns much ns the late Senater Knox, but could scarcely be said te surpass him In grcntness. My claim for Philadelphia Is based en the fact that mere articles made in-Philadclphia are sold lny the open markets of the world, Irrespective of price, than theso made In any ether city In the world. This has been confirmed by actual experi ence In n foreign city, where the lecnl deal ers recommend the purchase of Philadelphia made articles nt an advance of 100 per cent ever the cost of locally mnde articles of the same kind. Lead World In Many Lines "The wide range of nrtlcles made here which have wen world supremacy adds te the strength of the claim. It is n long swing of the pendulum from n battleship te u geld thimble or u wedding ring; from a locomo tive or it giant inuchlne tool te the serums which have saved the lives of millions of persons from death by diphtheria, typhoid fever or tetanus, In the manufacture of which serums we lead the world; from agri cultural implements which go nil ever the world te the publishing of Bibles; from the world largest saw works te u hook and eye; from the building of trucks nnd trolley cars te leadership in the production of jocks. One-half the locks exported from the United States nre made In Philade'phla, All along the Hue we have shown the power te pro duce continuously u quality which holds the confidence of the purehuser. "This is no accident, but the inevitable sequence of a well nnd continuously de veloped policy. Frem Penn's tlme we have held te the idea that man is the child of his environment. Penn came te America and these who came with him or immediately followed him ,came net under the lash of poverty, but urged by n desire for environ ment, bigger opportunity te develop into hiicer men. "They had no special religious beliefs te force en ether people. The underlying prin ciple of their economy was thut, given a normal environment, men would de the right thing nlne times out of ten. leaving aa th mAln fy,"0"0" .f. 8vernment the light task enjeciUing questions concerning which heu- main function of government the light task MaWiiiPiiQ.'

In ether words, it was te be a government of self control, net of State control, and self-control can only be taught In the home, vfhere n child obeys, net because he understands, but because be has love for and faith In the lawgiver. Penn believed in a happy life here as well as hereafter, and he allotted an area for parks and open spaces greater than ever before given te the world in the planning of a city. Following Penn'g Ideas "After 23!) yenrs we stilt maintain the Penn tradition in this, nnd today we have a larger percentage of ground allotted te parks and squares than Penn erlgiunlly save. The home living, money saving nnU wealth through work produced which char acterized the people who founded Philadel phia are dominating factors In the Philadel phia of today, where mere than one-third of the population work for wages and thus crcnte new values.

In this new day which dawned at the Washington Conference I feel thnt Phila delphia must lead, that Philadelphia ideals must be-adeptcd if America Is te lead the world, namely, putting home life above everj thing else and developing self-control in the Individual that we may get rid of the crushing expense of State control.
