WHO BENEFITED BY JUGGLE OF THE STATE'S BIG FUNDS? That'a the Real Question Raised by Latest Scandal, and It Cannet Be Dodged by the Capitel Hill Outfit lY GGOItC.E XOX McCALN rpilK remarkable discrepancies between 1 he hooks of former State Treasurer Har Har eon M. Kephaft nnd .eme of the hanks and trust companies designated as State dcposl dcpesl dcposl terles, ns reported by Main & Ce., account ants, te Auditor General Lewis, may pos sibly account for the refusal of these direct ing the affairs of the last legislature te pnfs what was known as the Lewis bill. At the time I directed attention te this bill, which hid been prepared by Samuel S. Lewis, present Auditor General, then chief clerk of the Pnrenu of Corporations, in the office of Auditor General Charles A. Snyder. The purpose of the hill was forever te put nn end te the nefarious practices that, had prevailed in connection with the exploita tion of State Treasury funds by political besset and unscrupulous State officials. Seme months nge State Treasurer Snvder, former Auditor General, shortly after the discovery of the embezzlement by II. L. Tlrlndlc of $S000 from the Auditor Geneial's office, made the public declaration tliat half a million dollars had been taken, at one time nnd another, from the State Treasury, but that it lind all been repaid and the State "had net lest a cent." Dispatches from Hnrrlsburp last week, in connection with the lntest Treasury scan dal, quote former State Treasurer Kephart as denying the correctness of Main le Ce.'s statement and giving assurance that the State "would net lesc n penny " It is te be noted that Mr. Kephart'" re mark that the Stale would net suffer finan cially is almost identical with a similar statement made b .Mr. Snder months before.

Lewis and designed te frustrate conditions mch as have been disclosed, never saw the light of day en the read te enactment. It was uncere moniously ruled off the legislative track The bosses wanted neue of Lewi-' trea-ur reforming bills. The pertinent query is, in view of the-e latest exposures, Were State officials ether than Mr. Kephart nnd his mibordinutc miberdinutc aware at that time of the jugglery which 1ms just come te light after three or four year and which the bill was designed te prevent in the future? As prepared by Mr. Lewis this bill pre Wiled that Htate depoiterlvs be limited in number: that State funds, divided into two classes, as at present, active and inactive, be placed only in selected hanks and trust companies which offered te the State, accom panied by sufficient bend, the highest rate of interest en deposits These latest revelations cenrernlng cendi tlens in the Stnte Treasurer's office and the examination Is net nearly concluded de mand the enactment of the Lewis law or a similar statute by the coming Legislature of 1023.

It is noto rious that Quay's dominance of the Repub lican Party in the Commonwealth was main tained for years solely by his manipulation of State Treasury funds.

ACRES OF DIAMONDS JOHN II. PATTERSON, who died en a train while en the way te Atlantic City, differed from many ether successful Amer icans in that he wen hU success in the snuie part of the country in which he was born. his father lived en a farm near Dayrbn, O., where the hey was born. The son worked In his father's saw and erlst mill until he went te college. When he was graduated from Dartmouth he went back te Dayton nnd was occupied with one thing and another until he became interested- in ,the development of the cash register. Be business there, with agencies tin all parts of the country. When he began Dayton wni n small city, and it still has less than 100,000 popula tion. But Mr. Patterson evidently decided that it was as geed n place as any for his business. There were ns ninny acres of diamonds, ns Dr. Cenwcll would say, In the Dayton backyards as there were In the backyards of any ether community. Any man who knew diamonds could find them If he persisted in his search. Of course, Mr. Patterson was net unique. There are nntlve citizens in every con siderable city who have wen fortune In the town in which they were born. But there nre mere successful men in the big cities who have migrated from less favernbic sur roundings te surroundings that were mere favorable te their business. Sometimes the Inciting enue was the possibility of doing business mere cheaply in the city te which they transferred their activities. Then again, the opportunities for a young man have always seemed mere brilliant in n large community than In a small one, nnd this is why the rurnl communities nre drained of their alert young men te the advantage of the cities. This is also why the cities grew nnd why se many rural towns stagnate. But new nnd then there is a man like Mr. Patterson, who stays at home and makes his own town crew along with his own business by attracting te it workers in his own factories, A DARING GERMAN GAME AS A sample of frustrated imperialist am bitions It would be difficult te match the Involved nnd murky tale of former Ger man designs in the Americas, details et which nre only Intermittently brought te light. The latest piecemeal contribution te a historical subject of Intimate Interest is furnished by Hebert Lansing, in n letter written te Senater McCermlclc defining, ex plaining nnd justifying the status of the United States in Haiti. Among ether things, the former Secretary of Stnte for the first time makes public nn incident from which immediate and dramatic results might have flowed had net the World War startllngly Intervened. On the night of July 31, 1014, only a few hours before the mine of world cntas cntas trephe was sprung, the German cruiser Karlsruhe, In the harbor of Pert-nu-Prliicc, according te Mr. Lansing, "changed her po sition in order te screen the movements of her crew, and 11 number of boatloads of German sailors, with small arms nnd ma chine guns, left the Karlsruhe nnd pro ceeded te the wharf, where they landed." A few minutes later the "invnsien" was called off and the vessel steamed away te begin her commerce-raiding adventures. Mr. Lansing believes that the German Minister in Haiti, in touch with the inter national situation, was responsible for this veltefnce. Knowledge of the event was withheld from the public of the United States, as acquaintance with the facts might seriously have compromised the policy of neutrality which the Government then chose te upheld. Hut the Stnte Department did net relax Its vigilance, some of the fruits of which were garneied two cnrs later, when the Virgin Islands were puichused from Den mark at a price then deemed exceedingly stiff. Immediately prier te this -ale the Hamburg-American Line had obtained! Danish concession for n coaling ha-e at 1. Themas, nnd preparation- for a German wireless plant and ler an airplane lauding pi. ice were under waj. Necessity for our control of the Vligln group was decidedly mere vital than haggling ever the high price which Denmark, profiting by extrnenllnary cir cumstances, was enabled te iix. The -nle, which put an end te German opportunity in the Caribbean, was nego tiated a little mere than n year after the treaty for the rc-e-tnblishment of order and pregre-s In Haiti, te which certain Senators new object and which was mani festly nt complete variance with Teutonic ambitions in this hemisphere. What the Imperial Government sought in Haiti was n coaling station at the strategically valua ble Mele St. Nicholas and exclusive control of the customs of the" anarchic republic. But for the declaration of war against Kussla en August 1 of the niestrnglc year in world annuls the Htute Department) would probably net havn vithhcld announce ment of what happened in Pert-au-Prince, and the warning of the American Govern ment would perhaps have been ns tart as I anything Dewey tuld te Diedrlchs nt ! Manila. JITNEYS FOR FAIRMOUNT WITH a new bus system just established New Yorkers will he able te go te almost any part of Central Peck for five cent. If the experiment i9 successful it will lead naturally enough te .1 demand for n somewhat similar service for Fnlrmeunt Park. There are two wa.vn in which you may see and enjoy the Park If jeu have no motorcar. Yeu may walk or use the Park trolley. In either case you will miss much. That fact, however, would net justify the use of lumbering and ugly and overloaded sight-seeing cars en all the Fnlrmeunt driveways. But it might inspire the Park Commission te sanction the use 'of Park buses properly designed and managed, and net se heavy as te injure the reads. If such vehicles were brightly colored they would add te the general picture. And, of course, they would be a comfort and a con venience for multitudes. THE FAIR CAN BE "DIFFERENT" ANXIttTY lest the fair of 1020 should suffer from lack of stimulating ideas differentiating it from expositions of the past denotes a lamentable poverty of imagi nation. It is, of course, impossible te an nounce offhand the full U-t of attractions, but that by no means precludes the possi bility of exploiting u profusion of original features. Practical progress of the exhibition pro gram grows in n seuse by what it feeds en. It Is n chain of development, net an imme diate leap te finished conceptions that must be expected. The movement for nn educational con ference hiunehed by the Pennsylvania Mili tary College and the Swnrtbmeru Prepara tory Scheel has, for instance, been promptly expanded by the support of Acting ProveBt Penniman, of the University of Pennsylva nia, who admits that he has been working for some time en plans for n world educa tional meeting house in n great permanent auditorium. Dr. Cenwcll, of Temple Uni versity, seconds the interesting proposal, in which there are inspiring possibilities. Mere picturesque, If no mere Important, ii the suggestion of O. Kmcrsen Brown, di rector of the Zoological Gardens, In regard te an exhibit of llfe-slze reproductions of prehistoric animals. It in his idea that they might be effectively placed in alleged convincing attitudes along the banks et the Schuylkill. The nlbertesaunis would be forty feet in length a unique decoration Indeed. Doubtless there will be mere suggestions of commensurate novelty as the fair emerges from the domain of generalities into the enlivening region of realistic details and ubatantlal, acccuupUibauat, v A CHEVALIER OF THE CROSS A Circuit Rider Within Forty Mllea of City Hall The Recerd' of Rev. Mr. Lutz Twe 8ervlcee Missed In Nineteen Years .- By GEORGE NOX MeCAIN ROUGH RIDERS, riders of the lonely trail, riders of the long frontier, mean ing, of course, the famous Texas Rangers, and all the rest of that Interesting caval cade of comrades of the saddle have been immortalized in poetry and prose. Zane Grey's "Riders of the Purple Sage" is the latest contribution te this literature in book nnd movie. There is one class of riders, however, te whom scant attention has been paid by fie fie tienists and dabblers in vcrsp. A few years nge a serial in the Saturday Evening Pest worthily and appeallngly told of one of these unsung heroes, I refer te circuit riders. Seme one somewhere In my hearing years age referred te them ns "Christ's couriers along the byways of civilization." I still recall stories told ma In boyhood of the strange adventures of a circuit-riding great-grandfather, whose congregations nmeng the mountains of Western Pcnnsl vanla gathered in leg schoolhouses or in some mountain home. ARCHDEACON STUCK occasionally comes down from Alaska te tell about congregations hundreds of miles apart that are reached by beat in summer and deg sled in winter. Dr. Grenfell breezes in from Labrador every few years wUh thrilling stories of church gatherings that are reached only by fishing smacks or missionary launches. All along the frontiers of the West and the lines nre shortening every year there arc hundreds of these soldiers of the Cress who ride or drive from remete Tillage te hamlet Sunday after Sunday, year after year. I heard a story the ether day of a circuit rider within forty miles of. Philadelphia that is ns unusual as Is the fact that there nre circuit riders within that distance of the metropolis. , It is a story of devotion te duty and self sacrifice rnrcly equaled. It only lacks the background of the wilder ness, the mountain trail or far distances te lift it from the prosaic te the romantic. FROM these distant days, when the first of the Palatinate Germans nnd these from ether parts of Germany emigrated te Eastern nnd Northeastern Pennsylvania they were builders of churches. In faith they were principally Lutheran nnd German Reformed; nnd they were of one tongue. In their poverty the scattered communi cants of each tet found It impossible te erect separate church buildings, se they combined te build one church te be used jointly en alternate Sundays by each con gregation. All through Berks County, upper Mont gomery, portions of Bucks and wherever the earliest German immigrants settled nre te be" found these two-denomination edifices. As n rule they nre of stone, beautiful specimens of prc-Colenial architecture. One of the finest is the fnmeus Old Gosh Gesh Gosh enheppen Church thnt crowns n hillside about a mile from Hendrlck's Station, in upper Montgomery County. FROM the beginning it has been the cus tom for these scattered hamlets te com bine their contributions for the support of one minister. Kncli community would name a sum which it felt it, could pay annually, nnd with three or four hamlets peeling their resources they were enabled te secure a minister whose time would he divided among the congre gations. This system has prevailed for n hundred nnd fifty jears. Seme villages grown populous and rich new have their own pastors. Others, satis tied with 11 sermon twice or three times 11 month and communion at intervals, still cling te the ancient plan. There Is also combined with this the ele ment of German thrift. If n congregation gets the ministration of n pastor only twice n month its members contribute in proportion. It's a mighty small proportion that some of them pay their minister, tee. Well-to-de men in some communities feel they have fulfilled their duty te the cause of the Lord when they contribute as much as $12 a year te the Church, with $8 additional for education, charity and missions. Tlicy would spend that much in the up keep of their automobile for n month, or for a trip te the Reading or Allentown Fair. Yet they expect te be eulogized for an hour as philanthropic citizens and liberal' sup porters of the cause of religion in n sermon by their pastor preached akve their coffin lid. THERE is-a circuit of three churches of . the German Reformed denomination in Northern Montgomery County thnt has been ridden for nearly twenty years by one de voted mlsslener. They are leented nt Pennsburg, Sassa manbville and Nlantlc. The Rev. Geerge W. Lutz is the circuit rider who for nineteen yenrs has ministered te theHO congregations. In the early days he rode horseback. Later he employed a team. In tTie Inst few years he Ikih used an automobile. His circuit covers a distance of nineteen miles ever all sorts of reads, I N FACT, the circuit is mero nearly tvvent.v-five miles, for when nreaehtner at Nlnntic or Sassamunsville. accerdine te im memorial custom, the pastor takes dinner with n member of the congregation, who fre quently lives three or four miles from the cbuich. When preaching nt Nlantle Mr. Lutz hns dinner with 11 parishioner, then drives te Sassamansvllle, where services are held in the afternoon, nnd then the return Journey is made te the parsennge in Penns burg in the evening or at night. Where two services a day arc held at Nlantlc and Sassamansvllle no services are held In Pennsburg. The following Sunday morning and eve ning services are held in the church at Pennsburg. THE remurkable feature of this circuit rider's history is that in nineteen years only two services have been missed by him. Then it wab because of blizzards or snows, which tied up the reads and blocked traffic. Fer the rest of this period, through cold and storm, ever reads often well-nigh im passable, the Rev. Geerge W. Lutz has maintained his missien: held the banner of his Master high nbove the inconsequential things of this world. He has been subject te instant call any where through thu region contiguous te his three charges, in sickness, necldeut and dls tress. Fer this work, at n salary possibly less than any clergyman of the weakest congrer cengrer congrer gatlen in Philadelphia receives, Mr. Lutz prepared himself for years nt college and divinity school, with such success that he wears the .coveted key of the Phi Beta Kappa. During the war period he worked in a shipyard te contribute his mite and con tinued ids circuit-riding work without in termission. FOR years he has been associate editor and principal editorial writer en Town and Country, one of the most prosperous and ably edited newspapers In the region. He has been a member of the faculty of Pcrkiemen Selioel, that unusually excellent preparatory Institution at Pennsburg. Ite has been called upon te substitute for teachers in the higher brunches In the public scIioeIh. He Is 011c of the lending figures in every public movement for the advancement of his community. , Above all oIfe, though, the things that are parnmeunt in his life are the well-known reads, the trim farm houses and the recur rent church services en his circuit among his own people. He is.tne ieeai circuit riaer or e twea. t v t. s 'Vl.lZ'nptff 1 x'F:u!l,J!!3!luliB45r:flEa i ifj8tM tCfT JH X ilILxttff ftRl n,Ty fP.fT TrrtffrTrTiaBlalayf BalnaaaaaaaaaaaaalaaaaaaaaaBUlnr W "iLwitl ff rM A "iirfhv r!iTy rfri f iT7W?UrtngiFiiaB F ibf tliHHtliJLiir ti t -1 HW ivJEnBaaVrTTa J CsbbbbWKmPTm?bbP T . aBBBBBBBBBBWBBatfalsBBWBBHfABM tl3rl.lrV " Tr" AfaWsBaaT' M ! cFHLBBwS' 3bbV4i4'1bbbbbbbbWbHiJH eaHfaH effeTO aagaiJyii I eaa- BaBBBBHaMaVvfaaT aLLLLLrTMK '" V?s,s, r. .-.. j'C -. 1 -"'"A NOW MY IDEA IS THIS! Daily Talksy With Thinking Philadelphia en Subjects They Kneiv Best FREDERICK P. GRUENBERG On the Bureau of. Municipal Research PUBLIC opinion is regarded as the highest legislative authority and us the court of last resort In n democracy. As one means of securing n public opinion based en facts instead of en guesses, various bureaus of municipal research were founded in a number of American nnd Canadian cities, according te Frederick P. Grucnbcrg, director of the Philadelphia Bureau of Municipal Research. "In the first place. It is a citizens' ngency," said Mr. Grucnbcrg, "net a branch of the official government. It is a civic organization founded en the principle that under our institutions the citizen is ultimately responsible for the results of government. In Philadelphia the Bureau of Municipal Research was founded" in 1008, incorporated in 1000, and Is governed by 11 beard of twenty-five trustees, consisting of men nnd women representative of diverse business nnd professional elements. This beard employs a technical staff of specialists in various fields te analyze and interpret technical problems of government. "Its work is done en a fact basis, in co-operation with officials and citizens. While a large part of its energies is directed toward the solution of specific problems, the importance of disseminating information te citizens and of turning the spotlight of publicity en public questions is never over looked. At the same time the bureau has kept absolutely free from participation of any kind in partisan politics. "Thcre are research bureaus of this kind In some thirty cities, including New Yerk, Chicago, Detroit, Clcvclnnd. Terente, San Francisce, Rochester and ethers, and while their programs vary in certain details, their fundamental policies and principles are virtually uniform. What the Bureau Has Accomplished "The Philadelphia bureau has been steadily at work en various kinds of prob lems for fourteen years, and se quiet are its methods that its contribution te the civic life of the community is often net realized by even well-informed citizens. The latest completed study of magnitude is nn inclusive survey of the government of Lewer Merlen Township, which is an im portant unit in the natural mctrbpelitun district of our city. The study was under taken nt the request of the governlng body of 'the township, nnd the final report was an exhaustive picture af the administra tion, finances, etc., of the township gov ernment. "This document enebles the Commis sioners te see their problem objectively nnd as a whole. Wasting no, time en mere ad verse criticisms, the report makes con structive recommendations te aid the Com missioners te improve their service, nnd commendation for things well done is just as freelv given as is condemnation for prac tices which ought tn be changed. "Going back a year or two, citizens will recall the efforts te substitute municipal street cleaning for the contract method new everywhere discarded. The new City Chnrter of 1010 had made it possible te, substitute the better municipal method for the con tract method, but the Charter was net automatic. With characteristic American faith in legislation, there wus a perceptible let-down in civic effort once the new Char ter was achieved, and se, the bureau found it necessary te keep citizens stirred up en the street-cleaning issue in order te pre vent it dying because of public inertia. A vigorous series et pamphlets, articles, public addresses all predicated en careful engi neering study was largely instrumental in the final adoption of municipal cleaning and waste disposal throughout the city. "The large amount of work contributed! by the bureau te the drafting of the newi Charter, the preparation for the State Con stitutional Revision Commission of its basis for a State budget system new beginning te bear fruit are lllustrntlve of nn impor tant though undrumatic side of the bureau's work. Specialized studies in pliOBes of law, engineering, finance and personnel admin istration, either in Ce-operation with public officials or in the interest of citizens und taxpayers, are always going en. And the end sought is net primarily lower taxes or mere money economies, but fuller, better, mete effective public service. By-Products u "It Is also Important net te overlook one or two of the incidental actlvltle nf h bureau, One of the' roost Important' of feUT IT WOJW STICK tlen service, by means of which public offi cials nnd empleyes, teachers, students, citi zens and taxpayers secure in ever-growing numbers dependable information en govern mental nnd community matters. Anether is the weekly pamphlet, 'Citizens' Busi ness,' which has been published uninter ruptedly each week for mere than clsjit years. "These pamphlets are subscribed for ty libraries, universities and public bodies all ever the country nnd in foreign countries as well but their mnin function is te serve as a civic educational force in Philadelphia. "The question is often asked of bureau workers, What of the bureau's future? As a rule these men nnd women have been tee busy doing the worth-while tasks at hand te speculate very much In the realm of the unknowable but In order thnt their work may be guided by n sense of direction they often step te think of hew their pregrnm fits the tendencies and the needs of the times. "Conscious of the growing complexity of government, they nre aware" of the increas ing difficulty af renlizlng the great ideal of a form of government that shall be demo cratic nnd humnn and which shnll yet be effective, serviceable, flexible, responsive. Te contribute toward the realization of se splendid an ideal is the constant inspiration) of the bureau's staff and the central thought of its trustees and members." ., ., , We cannot believe that ise Alarm In the bootleggers nre 1111 Evidcnce duly agitated ever the ,. , ... , declaration of Attorney General Alter that if he is elected Governer he will put an end te their illegal activities. l we m8y ill(l'lre in passing, nre the official acts of a bootlegger that may be classed ns ether than lllegul?
