And the money appropriated for the schools, for forestry and for increasing the pay of various offi cials has been wisely appropriated While defending the course of ihe men whom he has appointed, the. Governer de nies that he has any authority mrr the State Treasurer, and sajs that "criticism of the State Treasurer Is net an honest lampaigu argument against the Attorney (Ieneral any mere than it is against tbe Commissioner of Perestrj."

It Is the total lack of the most ordinary conveniences for comfort and privacy where women serving en n jury nre compelled te lemnln out overnight in the discharge of their duty as citizens. In the vast majority of rural courthouses accommodations for men jurors, hung up from dark till dawn, nre of the most primi tive character. They are forced te doze en chairs, sleep en the fleer, or snatch u few winks stretched out en u tabic. The object seems te be te make their period of jury duty as barren of comfort ns possible. Presuninbly, the scheme is te hurry their deliberations and compel xerdlct in the shortest space of time. The idea is monstrous.

Daily Talks ll itli Thinking Philadelphians en Subjects They Knew Best DAVID KIRSCHBAUM On Philadelphia's Traffic Problems THERE arc three condole things which must be done if the traffic problems of Philadelphia nre te he satisfactorily solved, ai cording te David Kirsehbnum, one of the most profound students of this complicated question in the city. "First of all." said Mr. Kirsehbnum. "there should b- no parking allowed en Chest nut or Walnut sircet between Seventh find Klghteenth streets, between the hours of S:,'!0 A. M. and 0 P. M. Next, a co ordinated system of electric semaphores en ltread street north nud south of the City Hall must be Installed: and. third, all turns should be eliminated at l'rend and Chestnut. Rread ami Walnut, Twelfth and Muikcr and five or six ether equally danger ous points. Three Different Phases "The subject of street traffic must be divided Inte three jihases; First, things which can be done immediately without any legislation or expendituie of meney: second, things which can be done with little legisla tion and a small expenditure of money, and third, these things of a larger natuie which require considerable legislation, the expendi ture of a considerable sum of money and a carefully engineiietl program in order te meet the demnnds of the Sesqui-Centennial and the etlier problems of the futtiic. "Confining eurselws te ihe present emergency that is. t lie need for immediate lelief In a few highly congested sections the amended Yen Tagen ordinance is a step forward, but the step Is nel long enough nor the xlewpeint sufficiently comprehensive. "If Philadelphia is te get immediate relief from the inesL pressing of her traffic evils, some of ihe pmUsietis. of that ordinance must be changed. Fer instance, the one hour parking puwlege in the shopping dis tricts of Chestnut and Walnut streets, while giving a convenience te a comparatively few persons, would imeuvenlence n great many mere, for ii will unquestionably cause even greater congestion both le meters nnd street ears than we arc new experiencing. Fifteen Minutes Suggested "There should be absolutely no parking en these streets between Seventh and Lightcetith streets between the hours of S:!tO A. M. nnd (1 P. M. If. htiwcwr, there must be some yielding te pressure, l l us confine that park ing le fifteen minutes at the most. "Anether serious objictien is the irservn- tlen of enlj fin iv feel for the aulval and departure of automobiles in the above shop ping dlbtrict. lr is easy te see what will happen when there' nie three, four or live cars trying te use this space al once, The middle of the slieet will be blocked, hecausn of the many siren cais buck of tltcpe meters. The minimum permitted should be eight; feet. "The prevision that a iliiver who wishes te change his direction or te step must signify his Intention ten fed before tbe point is reached is ridiculously inadequate. The average length of n motorcar Is thirteen feel. Going at ten or twelve miles nn hour, one can see that the minimum length should be fifty feet ami really should be 100 feel when the driver should indicate a change of direction or a wish te step. Going nine miles an hour an automobile travels eighteen and two-thirds feet n second, or 800 feet a minute, almost two oily blocks, nnd the pro posed ordinance allows len feet for a change. Cemment en this .s superfluous Relief en ltread .Street "Rut there is absolutely no piovisieu ier the relief of the i (ingestion en Rread street. Superintendent Mills has made a curpful study of the subject, and se have n number of our committees In the Chamber of Com merce, and nil knew that the sjstcm em em plejed se successfully en Fifth avenue. In New Yerk Is absolutely ninetlcnhle nnd can be used in Philadelphia. Thai system, or something like it must be used if we are te have any relief. "The situation today en Rread street is deplorable. As an illustration, coining south or going north en Rrend street when truffle Is most congested, traffic is held up every block und sometimes at the half-blocks, such as ut Fall-mount iivenueniul again at Rldgu avenue. New, with Weed, Cherry nnd n number of ether miner streets used ns one ene way traffic streets for the purpose of relieving the next parallel main street, is It net easy te see that traffic en Rread street will he further interrupted because of mew frequent inter sections? 'In tome cities in the TTest no truffle i. permitted from there smslr ttrettt except at mk . Vs. pfflL . yli ' r'iiAM.. H &&. - - r - ,,,,M ',-1 such times ns traffic is going tlneiigh and then vehicles may only enter tbe main streets te join the traffic: they may net cress. New a word ns le the lack of co-operation between the various branches of the police service. We have been given te understand by Super intendent Mills that patrolmen de net make geed traffic officers and vice versa. Therefore, ihev are net walled upon te repeit every violation of the lnw, even though the thing happens, under their very eyes, i An Auxiliary Sen ice "If such a condition is te continue, then (he system employed with such marked suc cess in some of (he huge cities of the Middle West, notably Cleveland. Detroit nnd Cin cinnati, should be used bete. This is an auxiliary committee of tiOO citizens of the highest tjpe, who net only have a deep Interest in the subject bur nie willing te inconvenience themselves te a great extent In order te assist the public welfare. "A great majority of the serious automo autemo autome bile accidents de net occur in the congested districts- there is tee much supervision there. The speed fiends, net seeing a blueceal in sight in ihe less-frefjuented streets, drive recklessly in every diicctien. paying little or no lieed le the law as regards one-way streets, ihe speed limit, anil every ether automobile font tire which Is the subject of legal regulations. The icsult is seen In Hie huge accident list every dnj . "'nie ps.wholegioai value of such a coin mill ee as the Western cities have found le be se efficacious would be very great and have a most beneficial effect in Philadelphia, be cause gradually the speed fiends would begin te learn that they were being watched and reported by men who have no selfish Interest . and who will inconvenience themselves sufficiently te appear in the iraffic.i eurt, if need be. te give the necessary evidence te convict them in tbe event of serious neci Mlents and penalize them with fines or ether punishments for iufrarllnns of the law or for accidents of a miner natuie. 'Ihe Semaphore System "There si ems te be a difference of opinion as te the semaphore system. Mr. von Tagen says that (lie co-erdinated electric svstein is impracticable In Philadelphia, 'while Superintendent Mills says that It is abso lutely practicable en Rrend street. Practic ally nil these who have made u study of the whole subject agree with the superintendent. "The nciessiiy for this system or some seme Villi8 "k '!
