Oddly enough, n material nnd practical aspect of the Lusltanln outrage Is revived almost contemporaneously with Its anniver sary. The Appellate Division of the .Su preme Court of New Yerk ruled last week that the $150,000 Insurance claimed by the estate of Alfred 0. Vanderbllt. who was lest en the Cunardcr, is net payable by the com pany granting the policy. Hundreds of him liar claims will doubtless be affected by this decision. The United States Government has as yet collected nothing In partial compensation, although It has been understood, ever since the separate treaty was negotiated, that an additional pact covering the claims of na tionals will be made. Financial Indemnity for an Infamous net can never be adequate. But no weak-mindedness en the Indemnity subject can Justify Indifference te this par ticular outstanding obligation.

"THE ORGANIZATION" OBJECTS TO CHANGE IN HARRISBURG This la Why the Contractor Combination Dragooned Alter In the Race for the Governorship AS WE have entered en theJast week of the primary campaign It Is worth while reminding ourselves of what Is Involved in the contest. Stripped te the bones, the question is whether there Is te be a betisccletinliig In Ilnrrihbtirg, with new men in charge, or whether the same old gang Is te remain In control of the executive departments and continue te de business In the same old way. G Iff en! Plnchet pledges hlinelf "te clenn tip the mess" If he Is nominated and elected. Geerge E. Alter does net admit there Is any mess te he rleancd up. He cannot ndtnlt It without damning the men who pnt him In n buck room en the night before the lust day for tiling nomination papcri nnd forced him te consent te become a candidate. He did net want te run. He had paid se many times. He told his friends se and they believed him. But he could net resist the pressure that was brought te bear. And who were the men who selected him? They were Senater Vnrc, who had been sending Harry Mackey about the State te boom his own candidacy. And Senater Eyre, one of the shining lights of the State machine, and Senater Leslie, who repre sents the machine in Pittsburgh. These men, who are contractors every day In the year and politicians en the side, de sired te have as candidate a man en whom they could depend. They thought that Alter, personally irreproachable, would serve their purposes better than any one else In sight, for If elected they assumed that loyalty te the men who had boosted him te the high office would prevent him from making trouble for them. He would play the game of poli tics with them In the same old way. Governer Sproul hlmelf wns for Alter because Alter was one of his own appointees, and because he would rather have for n suc cessor a man tinder obligation te him than some one under obligation only te Senater Vare, for example. But when it was announced that Alter had been selected as the candidate of "The Organization" no one wns pleased save the men who had selected him. There were quiet grumblings wherever two or three politicians gathered together. But the men said little in public. They were tee well disciplined for that. They knew they would have te swallow their dis gust and support him. Mrs. Harmen, however, net yet accus tomed te the lash of the big leaders, pro tested. She was quoted as saying that no woman leader had been consulted nnd that she could net approve the selection for that reason. But she has been whipped into line. She was allowed te preside at the Alter meet ing In the Metropolitan Opera Heuse en Friday night when both Pepper and Ileed bowed their necks beneath the eke and hitched themselves te the Varc-Eyre-I.eslie chariot. That meeting was u "great demonstra tion." Adfierents of the Vnrc machine were carried te it In provided automobiles. Street-car tickets were given te hundreds of little fellows in order te insure their at tendance. And the office-holders were or dered te turn out. "Brether BUI" Vare was se confident thut the preparations made would attwet thousands mere than the Opera Heuse would held that In his speech he talked of the crowded hall and the thou sands outside who could net get in, when there were hundreds of vacant seats Inside and no one outside save the usual small handful of loiterers who always hang around u public hall when n meeting Is tn progress. Of course there was applause. The office holders'' had te applaud If they wanted te keep their jobs. These who went there en free trolley tickets had te applaud te pay for their free ride. But the applauce meant nothing. It was Senater Vare saying te himself: "Geed hey, Ed. Yeu did u geed job when you get Alter under obligations te jeu." And it was nothing else. And when Senater Pepper nnd Majer Keed protested against criticism of the organization candidate en the ground that It might supply ammunition te the Democrats they spoke In the language of the organiza tion. They seemed te regard the triumph of Alter ns of mere importance than the cleansing of the State capital. "Hush ! Don't say anything about the Harrlsburg scandals, for if jeu de the Democrats will iienefit hy it," wus wbut their words meant. They were willing that the State should seffcr se long ns the organization could re main in control. They did net have te de this. They could have kept out of the contest for the nomi nation for the governorship just as President Harding kept out of It by announcing after Mr. Alter bad called en him in Washington that he was net interfering in anj primary contest In any State and he wanted It un derstood by every one. But Pepper nnd Iteed want etes, Pepper especially, who has heaid the report that the organization is planning te trade Pepper votes for Burke for the senntershlp in re. turn for Burke votes for Alter for the gov ernorship. Every device nnd trick tlt.it long experi ence In the game has tuught them will h used by the organization leaders this week te get votes for Alter and te belittle the candidacy of Plnchet. But most of the tricks will be as shallow as that of the stage manager in tbt theatre who produces tha Wu Illusion of a large army by marching his ir trnpers across the' Mage and back behind tf scenes te Jein these, In sight again until eacn man has appeared a dozen times, I The Hepubllcan voters who de net depend en the organization for thejr bread and butter can 'nominate Plnchet by nn over whelming majority If they will go te the primaries en Tuesday of next week. They knew that Plnchet Is pledged te de his utmost te bring te an end the scandalous conditions In Harrlsburg, and they knew that he 16 mero interested in doing It than preventing the Democrats from getting any ammunition with which te attack the Re publicans. Indeed, Plnchet himself knows thnt the best w-ay te make the Democratic uttacks futile Is for the Republicans te concentrate all their efforts en works 6f purification In stead of en hiding foulness under a blanket of smug complacency. Plnchet stands for whnt every one save the men implicated admits must be done sooner or Inter. The Vare-Ejrc-Lcsllc combination, back ing Alter, docs net want It done at all. THE PLOT THICKENS PROHIBITION DIRECTOR DAVIS may be an nrdent dry, n determined advocate of the Velstead principle and in nil general wnys-an efficient officer. But it is beginning te nppenr that his judgment is net always what It should be. Net long age prohibition advocates in this roxlen were excited by ths news that Geerge Stinger, formerly n police lieuten ant, had been given the Jeb of a prohibi tion Held agent. Mr. Stinger's nnme had been connected with thnt of his father in the report of n raid en a farm In Seuth Philadelphia, owned by Stinger, Sr., where nbeut n cnr age large quantities of liquor were found by Federal agents. Mr. Davis withdrew the appointment. New the Law Enforcement League Is raising n rumpus in print hecau'-e of n similar appointment extended te Henry S. Fitch. The League has sent a complaint te Commissioner Ilnynes, and charges that Sir. Fitch owns n drug store "known ns u bootleggers' hangout." The Law Enforcement League contends that n druggist is net the sort of person who Mieuld he asked te check up en ether drug-store keepers suspected of leIating the Velstead law. Since it has become apparent thnt much of the illicit whisky trade is being carried en by pcople who use "drug fronts' ns n blind, ene can only wonder why it should have been necessary te remind Sir. Davis of the unwisdem of the Pitch appointment. Thp director's own sponsors, including Senater Pepper, demnndud thnt he be given his present office because he was in sympathy with the Dry Law. Naturally it is te be expected that the appointment of lesser ngents be made hy Sir. DavK himself in accordance with the rule enunciated by his friends when be was seeking his job. HENRY P. DAVISON THE less which the Notion has suffered In the death of Henry P. Davisen Is lieth deep and Bhecklngly sudden. Sir. Davisen wns only fifty-five jears of age, en the crest of a career of fine Inspirational value and of distinguished public and pri vate service. In this unlovely nge, when the nftermatb of war Is fast dimming Its putative glories, Sir. Davisen's magnificent achievement as a high executive of the Red Cress, notably ns chairman of the War Council of that organization, has been untouched by the critical reactions. In n tragic International emergency his remarkable organizing rapacity nnd brilliant grasp of high responsibilities brought order and superb efficiency te a monumental enterprise. Werk such ns Mr. Davisen performed during the war was of a JJnd te restore something of the shattered self-respect of (ivlllzntlen. The high financial circles In vvhkh this admirable worker wns conspicu ous, as senior partner In the Slergnn linn, gained, moreover, a new prestige In his un selfish labors. Sir. Davisen swiftly dcmentrated te the public his fitness for n position of wealth and power of which his associates had been long convinced. His rise, through energy, Integrity, bruins and breadth of vision, fur nishes n repetition of n favorite American anecdote the truth of which Is, however, net compromised by Its elements of the mar velous. Davisen was the peer boy nf what Is sometimes superficially deemed legend. His career wns a' contest with, n victory ever, obstacles bespeaking native courage und keen Intelligence. His entry into the upper strntn of world finance was gained without "pull" or spetlul privilege ether than these merits Intrinsic in his virile character. REWARDS OF VIRTUE "TJORSES will be no mere," murmured XT. nwed multitudes who steed by the reatlMdes te see the first automobiles clat ter along en their single cylinders. When the dngucrx.cet.vpe wns exhibited It was generally supposed that portrait painters were deemed te instant extinction. But photography, Instead of hindering the development of pictorial art, has helped te make all the world better acquainted with studio painting And the horse is In no mero danger of extinction than the famllj deg. Why the her.'e will always remain nnd why machinery has been geed instead of bad for liini is suggested in the circumstance nnd pomp attending the visit of the eldest horse in the world te New Yerk. Clever the Venerable is fifty. one years old. It used te be buppescd that no horse could live te he mere than thirty-five or forty. But if a geed disposition und the honorable labor that usmitcs an easy con science help toward long life Clever ought te llve.'te he u hundred. He has been the lifetime companion nnd aide of a clergy man in Catawlssa, Pu. He must have trotted many thousands nf miles ln winter nnd summer te carry consolation te the sick and te de ills little share In the spreading of the Werd. He and his master subsisted for generations en tl.e tiny salary of n country minister. And nt last, when some one said that Clever was tee old te work any mere nnd that he ought te be shot te save expense, the Rev. Dr. Slycrs, his owner, said quite simply that any ene who shot his horse would first have te sheet hlra, and that his pension would be evenly di vided if neccfsery between Clever and him self. One cannot feel that wuy about any automobile ever made. What the meter did for the horse was merely te lighten his almost intolerable labor. It set him free from slavery. In dnys te come he can afford te Iip himself nnd te he an ornament te the community and a useful and most agreeable part of the civilized order. Horses will be plentiful nlwavs where'ver inen arc. They will per sist by the very grace of their fundamental cnaracter even after men have learned te muke machinery de all the hard labor of the world. . , Senater SleCumhcr snv The I sual Tiling Senators will discuss the , , Hiriff until the get tlicd of hearing their own voices' nnd hefoie they have considered a third of the hill they will be icaily te swallow It nil.

LOWRIE THE difference between the successful wan and the failure Is that the one refuses te accept the hundred chances te call his job an Impossible ene nnd accepts the hundred nnd first us his turning point te succeed, while the ether leeks nt his first obstacle as a sign from heaven te give up trying. There was n time early this winter when the Welfare Federation could have closed its books and said: ... "Philadelphia evidently does net like te fedcrnte its charities, for, barring seme miner mistakes, we've given' It n royal rhance. te give, and the response has been less than half what It should have been, se we ere, justified in dividing up what we re ceived en n percentage basis and letting go our held !" If it had published that bit of news ninny of us would have felt sorry, chagrined even, but net critical. 1 confess that I thought it had failed one day when I viewed the situation up ln a sky-parlor of the Bcllevuc-Strntferdi when some of us were asked te take cards and go nt it again, nnd most of us faded nway down the elevators shaking our heads ever the sorry ending of a geed Idea. , But thanks te Judge Martin nnd Mr. Ar thur Sevvall, and Sir. Clarence Warden nnd Sir. Elklns and sundry ether "never-sey-dlc" men, the enterprise refused te be a hns-bcen or a present failure or n future warning. It struggled tn its feet, stumbled once or twice, concluded it was nllvc nnd wnntcd te live nnd has sent out word thnt next October It will be back nt Its old stand, hat In hand with everything te show that Its lnauguraters and backers and benefi ciaries feel It te have been worth doing and te be worth repeating. AND the general public, especially the Philadelphia public, which always likes n thing the second time better than the first, will acknowledge its right te live nnd flour ish nnd their responsibility te keep It alive unil even boastful. Having refused te die. It will new net be permitted te die. Its chief difficulty seen will be te keep from growing tee big and powerful. Eventually people will pull wires te lie en Us Beard et Slauagers. BUT again I remark tbnt'lt It had net been for (be disciplined determination of n few persons net te sec defeat in ap parent failure, Philadelphia would have had no Welfare Federation by new. But after all, these men have only hnd te work one year te prove their point. I am always impressed by the idenllsm of the people who accept temporary failure ns part of their let and pled along with nn undying enthusiasm year after year for a future that recedes as they progress. There wus u time, for instance, when the settle ment Idea was believed te be about te solve the problem of the ills the peer arc born te, especially the Immigrant peer. That Is, it was thought that if enough well-Informed nnd well-disciplined nnd well-nurtured per sons would consent te live in the neighbor hoods where the ignorant nnd tiic undis ciplined nnd the poorly nurtured citizens lived the neighbors would find n common ground of citizenship and break down social barriers nnd mnkc common cause of geed government, geed streets, geed schools and geed housing. The educated comer te the slums was supposed te get ns well us give by his sojourn there. It was calculated that it there could only be enough settlements there would eventually be no blums. THE up HE se-called college settlements sprang here almost simultaneously, line1 they were followed by religious or church settlements und Inter by university settlements for the study of sociology nnd the practice of philan thropy in the form of nelghberllness, Thnt was twenty-five ears age, and only this 5 ear have the settlements grown te such proportions that they have felt justified In federating here. Until new they have been smull eases in a great center of humanity humanity, tee, for the most part unaware of their existence nnd unaffected by their na tivities. Hull Heuse in Chicago was known because of Slis.s Addams; the Lighthouse Settlement up in Kensington was known be cause of the Bradfenls ; St. .Martha's HetibO in Seuth Philadelphia was known because of Deaconess Celcslmry ; but all these or ganizations depended en the personality of the persons who hnd Invented them. The settlement idea of nelghberllness line existed, but has barely held Its own here for n quarter of a century. Settlements bnve net done nway with slums nor changed even their immediate neighborhoods In a way te be apparent te the ordinary passerby. About the College Settlement when I knew It first was a dense Negro quarter mixed with very peer whites. That quarter has moved west and the original site has been mnde into a playground. That change is apparent, but the College Settlement itself moved south many yenrs age. nnd the streets about It Catharine und Christian streets near Fourth swarm with the same tide of guttural foreigners and the gutters still accommodate refuse nnd children, dogs and curb venders; n picturesque, soclnhle neighborhood, but eutwurdly nn untouched one by the mere restrained habits of civilization. The. .Lighthouse Settlement belongs te a different type of sociological experiment fur removed from the slum. Yet even Kensing ton Is the same respectable, rather dour, unresponsive-looking quarter It nhvnjs wrfs te the outward eye. t The Lighthouse, has changed mnny in dividual lives, but net the character of the mill district In Its relation te the employer class, or the relation of the cmplejer clastt te it. As Individuals the residents of the Light house are greatly trusted, but as represen tatives of a class they niwuvs seemed te me te he discounted by the dwellers nbeut them, ns though they were neither fish. Hc.su nor fowl. ADSIIRABLE neighbors, Ideal citizens, very logical Christians, but net te be found anywhere else, would be Kensington's verdict. Te be sure, Deaconess Celesbury, nt St. Slartha's Heuse, Is the mother and sister und friend of the whole district, but she does net represent it class or even n church te her neighbors, try as she will te point that way; she just stands for herself. Se when I go back te the College Settle ment, as I did the ether day, and find some twenty women of all ages from sixty te twenty engineering children in and out of play and occupations, and advising mothers uud conferring with like-minded workers us te methods and practice und cuscs and theories, I am amazed that the Idea of that particular form of nelghbeiilucss htlll finds recruits und still finds support. It seems nrtiticlal te me ns a program for slum betterment or even neighborhood bet bet termenteor all settlements are net in slums. But I realize thnt no idea could exist, much less gnthcr recruits and Inter est support, thut wiib artificial und no mere There must he u veritnlilc step upward and onward In it, and thut being se, one honors the men and women who have de voted their lives te proving their idea of nelghberllness hy leading Uvea us unnatural us they arc arduous.

LINQELBACH On Hew Philadelphia Trains Her Girls THE Philadelphia public schools train the girls of the city ln several cspecinl things for the home, for their proper place In commercial life, te properly care for their health and clvlcally in such e manner that they may best fulfill their duties us citizens, snya Sirs. Anna L. Lingclbneh, the only woman member of the Philadelphia Beard et Education. "Twenty-five years nge," said Mrs. Lingelbnch, "the emphasis In education was laid entirely upon the mental training, nnd a diploma from the high school meant mere than the completion of courses In liatln, or English, or similar subjects. But new thj- is completely chnnged nnd today stress Is laid upon a well -balanced education, both m body and ln mind, nnd hence one which will permit girls te live their lives nnd fulfill their destinies te the best advantage. Sound Bodies Needed "The education of former times took no cognizance whatever of the importance of a sound body, but for the last four or five jears this feature of education has been stiessed ln the public schools. Ibc girls are taught the vital importance of keeping themselves In the best possible physical con-, ditlen in order that they may de whatever work they elect te better advantuge. "Te this end they nre taught hygiene and hew te develop nnd safeguard their health in vnrlens ways, and are given in struction ln gyinnnsties and in rhythmic nnd folk-dancing. Their sports are carefully supervised, the principal eues being hockey, basketball and tennis, all of which arc thoroughly bcnlthful and net tee violent. But most of all, they are taught the extreme Importance of maintaining their health at any cost of time nnd exercise, as without it little can be accomplished ln the world. "Anether equally Important branch of modern education Is the training which the girls get ter the home. This was formerly left te the mothers, and the girls received such education as the nbilltv of the mother and the willingness of the girl te learn dic tated. But new this is done in the schools, where the studies along these lines arc standardized and each girl receives the same thorough Instruction, which Is of inestimable value te her In the future when she be comes the mistress nf a home of her own. Heme Training Complete "Thus the school has taken ever much of the work which was formerly done In the home, and it is systematically nnd thor oughly taught, se that when the courses me completed the girl 1h an accomplished house keeper and hemcinuker. The domestic science course embraces sewing, coeklns and the serving of meals, which shall be lieth por table and wholesome. Much of the values of the various kinds of feed is taught thorn se that they may provide n balanced ration of the esseutlal requirements of the body at each tnenl. "An interesting pert of this work is the furnishing of n home. At the William Penn Scheel there Is a little flat, and one of the great stores of the city leaned furniture, which was selected by the pupils and plncee by them according te the ethics of geed taste, under supervision, of course, se that they might learn where certain pieces should go te uppcar te the best advantage. The curtains nnd similar Inside furnishings were made by the girls themselves, nnd they hed nn afternoon tea there one dny. which they conducted entirely by themselves. They furnished their own entertainment, this bclnc nlse a part of the course. "The teaching of the proper care et babies bus net yet been undertaken In our schools, but will he ndded te the curriculum before very long. Seme cities have it already, and we realize Its Importance. All this Instruction Is given In order te lit the girls for the care of their own homes und none of It contemplates any professional use. The importance of the American home Is such that tee much time cannot be expended upon this branch of education. Gead Manners Alse Taught "The manners of the girl arc lv a subject for educational endeavor. A little hook entitled M.verjduv .Manner' msl t ' compiled at the Seuth Philadelphia Uigi, Scheel for GlrK under the direction of l)r Lucy Dj W.

An enormous amount of work along then lines has been done by the fir '-iriammW'pm Seuth Philadelphia High Scheel for Girls, of which Dr. Wilsen ,1s the principal.

As the book by Dr. Wilsen says, the endeavor is te teach the 'kind of mVnncrs which will make ethers mere comfortable nnd happy.' TIie Professional Training "In the field of training girls for pro fessional work later in life the Philadel p.!2 K,,l0"ls aw doing their utmost ene with excellent results. The first thing Is 'V..'.11'.0 slr'8 t0 'fln'l themselves,' nnd when this is once nccempllshed the teacher hns a definite basis upon which te work and something definite te develop. The voca veca t enal courses embrace teaching, for a long time considered as the only 'genteel' field for women te occupy In business; nnd the com mercial courses tench stenography, book Keeping, typewriting nnd secretarial work. 'J"', ir?CH seuel nre badly over crowded. The present building holds about .1..0 students, but the needs of the city nre for ii building holding from 1000 te 1200 pupils.
