SHOTGUN BANDITS PATI10LMAN MITCHELL nnd William Uolllndeff, a bank detective, deserve high commendation for the effective protec tion of two bank messengers carrying .'I'J, 000 of payroll money when attacked by six shotgun bandits yesterday who were wait ing for them with nn automobile in which te escape. The money was protected, but the bandits fet nwny. The real test of the elliclency of the police will come in tbe pursuit anil arrest of the held-up men. One of them - was wounded. It should net be Impossible for capable detectives te trace him te his place of concealment, especially ns the au tomobile Jn which the men were trying te escape hud te be abandoned nnd he' had te go afoot through the streets. The Incident should make evpry bank 'which has te tend money through the streets by messenger nnd every cmpleer who gets , his payroll money in cash from his hank take such precautions ns te make It impos sible for held-up men te succeed In robbing the messengers. With a sufficient guard it could net only be made impeslbIp for any oneite get the money, but these who make ne attempt could be arrested before they . bad an opportunity te escape. yr The quick frustration of their efforts nnd their summary punishment would tend te discourage the further development of the business of robbing money -carrying mes V sengers In this city, which has already be ' , come tee flourishing.

NO, CHARLEY; WE REGRET THAT J. VERNE IS DEAD Mr. Hall's Inquiry In Council Reminds Us That a Jules Is Needed te Write of a World Going Mentally Blind TS JULES VEHXE In the house?" said JL Charley Hall brightly when Mayer Moere, having come un ngnln for air, cnsunlly Informed the City Council thnt $110,000,000 would be needed for odds and ends of public work preliminary te the fair. Of course, Councilman Charley knew that Jules was dead. Charley Is no dummy. He wished merely Id show the fellows that, ghen the proper background, he could swing devastating pcrsiflitrc with anybody. It might be a geed thing for the world if Jules were alive. Fer he had Imagination and n sense of humor rare qualities of mind that mlsht yet save these natlennl nnd International situations In which the mere reason and logic of less gifted men seem utterly futile. Hp might write n terrifying romance of n generation of men gene spir itually blind and tearing nt each ether's threats In the darkness, and mistaking geed for bad and friends for enemies nnd lies for the truth and defeat for victory. This, for example, Is the 1st of July, nnd hnlf the country is packing for expensive acntIens while the ether half Insists that it hnsn't the means te live snfely or In de cency. And the thing thnt would interest M. Verne the most distinguished hunter of romantic contrasts thnt ever lived is that none of the people who are In such a hurry te get away from home pause te consider that they may have te walk back! They may have te walk back If there Is n railroad strike. And there will be n railroad strike If all the people who have te deal with the new crisis en the railroads are as lacking In tact as T. I)e Witt Cuylcr, spokesman for the railroad executives. Let us admit that the attitude of the shepmen Is wreng-hpaded nnd thnt their threats are of a sort te Irritate the public's neres. Even then Mr. Cuylcr's lecture en patriotism, Indicting the union men ns near traitors because tliey ignore the authority of the Itallread Laber Heard, sounds u lift hollow, it happens that tbe Pennsylvania Ilnllread Company was the first te question the authority of the beard. It said nt the outset, through General Atterbury, that it would retain the right te run its own uf falrs In n pinch. Mr. Cujler wrote nothing publicly en the subject of patriotism te General Atterbury. Jules Verne, n student always of the phe nomenal and the perverse In nature and humanity, would be surp te put Mr. Cuyler In his book just as be would put the equally significant Mr. (Jempcrs In. He would be sure te snatch nt Charley Hall and Mayer Moere and all such people. They would be a sort of Greek Chorus In the background of a drama in which most of the ruling statesmen would appear as blind men light ing among themselves for the right te lend the world further en a downhill read. Jules would try te show that a Governing Idea, founded In justice, is what civilization lacks. He could prete, If he were as clever ns he used te be, that an idea of thnt sort Is ns far from the economic field in the United States as It Is from Europe, as fur from Mr. Cuyler as it is from Mr. Gompers and the radical shepmen. And he might find bitter amusement In demonstrating that there are as many ruling cliques warring for control nnd prestige In Philadelphia as there are In the political riots that continue te leave the allied countries despalilng and desperate and nctually weaker In the assets that count thnn the people they defeated In the bloodiest of wnrs. Jules might finally make clear what Imaginative minds already hove perceived, that there can be no unity of humnn pur poses, no great works, no real progress se long ns the world continues te be half mad with selfishness. We don't knew where the Mnyer expects te get that $110,000,000 or whether he really expects or hopes te get It at all, or whether he had In the back of his mind n desire te slunk the community by creating nn exaggerated Impression of the fair's cost. He talked for a moment enough like .Tides Verne te justify Charley Hall's bhlulug retort. Of course, his figures were out of nil pro portion te rational needs. Hut the Majer Is a hard man te understand these days. He doesn't tnlk for publication ns he used once te de. He keeps us guessing. And he him self appears te be guessing most of the time. One cannot but wish thnt when Charley Hall rose and put his Irenic query n voice had answered nnd said "Hete!" There might have been n debate. We knew nbeut what Jules, talking te Charley but nddrcss lng himself te the entire world of public and semi-public men, would have said. He would have tnlked Ukn nn imaginative per son, n person with the long view. And he would have begged bis hearers te quit sham ming nnd posing and plntltudlnizing nnd cheating nnd four-flushing nnd te abandon nil the madness of opportunism that tends te'mnkc life n burden te majorities every where. He would say thnt lies, official and otherwise, get the world into Its present plight nnd that only the truth, courageously faced and spoken, can get it out aguin. THE SOVIET MIND MTJUHKAII!" cried Jehn Tanner In XI "Man and Superman," "he Isn't going te live up te his principles." If jc. Lltvlneff, head of the Husslan delegation nt The Hague, entertained the Idea thnt the jubilation expressed by Shaw's Iconoclastic here would be re-echoed nt the European finnnelnl conference he was deemed te dls dls llluslenment. French, Helglan nnd Itnllnn delegates lecelved with mnrked'dlsfnver the Soviet reptesentutlve s suggestion that his Government was ready te recognize (he pil pil vete property claims of foreigners purely ns a matter of expediency te gain credits, net as a matter of right nnd justice, M, Lltvlneff appears te have been nston nsten ished at the sensation caused by his remark. Could anything be franker than that pro pre posed separation of principles and practice for the sake of a trade? De ll e capitnlUtlc erlVv? This 1.Z crisj? Ihfc Is cencelv emniunistlt view of the i nations prefer nypeerisy xi ably the Russian communist! PUBLIC LEDGER-PHILADELPHIA, situation, It represents a process of rea soning revealed at Hrest-Lltevsk during the pence negotiations with Germany. The Soviet envoys were able te ollege nt home thnt they had signed under duress a Teuten treaty practically damaging te their prin ciples but in theory leaving them'unteuched, It Is net entirely easy for se-called West ern minds te grasp this species of logic. Little confidence enn be placed In a suppliant for n contract who preclnitns his rcpudia-. Hen of that principle of exchange and barter known ns geed fufth. ' Moscow may be pleased te assume thnt Lltvlneff's candor lenves the communistic principle Inviolate. Westerners have net yet caught dp with the new day In Itusslu. Consequently they mny be pardoned for their bewilderment. A cede of morals which safeguards prin ciples by breaking them represents n devel opment of ultra-opportunism. The fact that Lltvlneff Is apparently unashamed of the affront both te bis own faith and te the contrary opinion held outside Kttssla simply ndds te the difficulties nt The Hague. Ne gotiations en such a basis would be n per version of common sense nnd fundamental standards of honesty. McCUMBER'S DEFEAT THE defent of Senater McCumbcr for re re re nominntlen In North Dakota ought te mark the beginning of the end of the soldiers' bonus ngltntlen In Congress. McCumbcr was pushing his Honus Bill because he thought there were votes In it for him nt home. There Is no doubt of this whatsoever. He knew he needed te strengthen himself, nnd he was confident that the te-culled soldier vote would be with him If he fought hard enough for the bonus. The result hns demonstrated thnt there nrc no votes te be wen by nny such inenns. It is becoming mere evident every month that Iho soldiers nrc. first of nil. self respecting nnd public-spirited citizens. They are nwnre thnt the country Is bur dened with tnxatlen levied for the purpose of carrying the war debt nnd paying tbe extraordinary expenses of government which have net yet been reduced te n pence basis. They nre nwnrc thnt if from $3,000,000,000 te $.",000,000,000 mere is te be collected te pay bonuses it will be necessnry te levy heavier taxes. While ns soldiers they might be pjensed te rccchc it few hundred dollars nplece ns n bonus, ns citizens they object te burdening business by heavier taxes in order te raise the money te pay the bonus. Candidates for the Senate and the Heuse who have opposed the bonus have been nominated and several of the most netlvc advocates of the bonus, McCumbcr chief among them, have been defeated for nomi nation. This is n result which Is reassur ing te these who hnvc confidence in the ability of the people te think straight en n clearly defined Issue. The ether Implications of the McCumber defent are interesting, but of less lmpor lmper tnnce. Lynn J. Frnzler, who receives the Republican nomination, Is the Nen-Pnrtlsan League Governer who was recalled last Oc tober, lie is the spokesman of the discon tent in the Stnte ever the disregard of the railroads for the rights of the farmers in the shipment of their grain. McCumbcr supported the Esch-Cuinmlns Itntlread Law, which Is supposed in certain quar ters te contain previsions mere favorable te the railroads than te the shippers. The North Dakota formers apparently preferred te hnvc In the Senate an nntl-rnilrend man, rather thnn McCumber. There have been suggestions thnt the nntl Frazler Republicans, the men who forced the recall of the Governer last year, will join with the opposition nnd vote for the Demo cratic candidate for the Senate. This sag-, gchtiett, however, wns mnde during the heat of the primary canvnss and may be regarded at present ns nothing mere thnn n form of campaign argument intended te sttcngthen McCumber. COMMON SENSE IN COUNCIL THE common practice of bedevllment of the executive power by the legislative does net seem te hnvc been Illustrated in Council by the unanimous passage of two entirely unobjectionable ordinances ever the Majer's ete. One of these measures sanctions the lay ing of two steam pipes under n street by an Industrial firm, nnd the ether ennbles a baking cempnny te build a bridge be tween two of Its buildings at Hancock nnd Chancellor streets. These grants de net In nny sense jeepard the public welfare. Council Is te lie con gratulated for Its common-sense view of the subject. .The unanimity of the vote precludes the suspicion of petty partisan factionalism. BOB MAXWELL TTE IN this office, knowing Heb Maxwell as we did, were jet surprised te learn hew universally be was liked and hew mnny people of nil sorts, little nnd big, obscure nnd exalted, felt a pang, of genuine grief at the news of his unexpected death yesterday.

Hut when he tiled there enme te the surface In n hundred plnces evidences of secret kindnesses done by him for In numerable people nnd of n gentleness thnt, seen In retrospect, contrasts all the mere finely with his magnificent strength. There was only one Heb. lie wrote from n mind that seemed Heeded with sunlight nnd clenn nlrs. There Is net n man nmnng these who were his associates who does net feel n sense of profound nnd personal less. Shank's mnre newndnvs seeks few long-distance records.

This fact nnd net pure altruism Is probably back of the rnso rnse rnso lutlen passed by the State Moter Federa tion at Syracuse, N.

M' -JfT- Mi , LOW-GRADE POLITICS Deeadea of Enslavement .efytha R , publican Vetera by the Party Organization Bring InevU ' tabje Decadence, Dy GEORGE NOX MeCAIN THE outstanding feature of Pennsylva nia's polltlcalisjstcm.nslde from its low grade morals, is its reactionary tenilentles. Its standards have always; been destructive and retrogressive. ' This condition ,1s undeniably the result of decodes of cnsln'vcmcnt of the Itcpuhlicnii voters by the party organization, Ahd "the Voters hnvc been willing slaves except when some recrudescence of morality nnd self nss,ertlvcness developed, as In the, recent prl mnry- election which resulted in the noirii neirii noirii natien of Gilferd Plnchet for Governer. A suinple of Jjjls retrogression, paraded for decades befere th. eyes of every Stnte In the Union, wns the humiliating failure of the voters te demand n progressive 'public school system. Organization bosses were satisfied thnt Pennsylvania, in the matter of educational advantages for its children, should rank with communities south of Mnsen nnd Dixen's line; should stand twenty-first among the States in point of education. The reason wns always apparent.' There wns "nothing In It" for the machine, neither offices nor coin. Why worry? t The yime was true of our highways. New Yerk nnd Maryland had inaugurated a com-' prehenslve system of rends long before Pennsylvania took belated action. THE election "of Willlnm C. Sproul ns Governer worked n clinngc In these de partments. The outstanding achievements of Mr. Sprout's administration have been the reorganization of the public schools under Dr. Themas E. Flncgnn, nnd the Inaugura tion of n comprehensive highway system under the late Commissioner Lewis S. Sadler. These hnvc gene far toward redeeming the Commonwealth in the eyes of the coun try nnd of Its own people. The management of our fiscal Bffnlrs for half a century has been a joke. Since tbe time of Rebert W. Mnckey, Stnte Treas-tirj-' resources hnvc been the plaything of whntever boss, or coterie of bosses, hap pened te be In control. There wns no secret nbeut it. Every poli tician knew that the funds of the Stnte deposited In favored banks nnd trust com panies enrned neinterest, but thnt Instead hundreds of thousands of dollars were poured annually Inte the coffers of the State Organization by these favored bank ing institutions. It was their tribute of corruption for the purpose of controlling elections, purchasing votes nnd enabling th'e bosses te "shake the plum tree." At rare Intervals sporadic attempts were mnde by conscientious men te correct these nbuscs. Hut the public conscience wns calloused, nnd it wns net until within the Inst few jears thnt Inws were enncted com pelling depositories te pay Interest upon Stnte funds intrusted te their enrc. During the interim the obsolete nnd un trustworthy rulc-ef-thumb method of roughly gauging up the State's appropria tions te the estimated amount of Its In come went en ns usual. There was neither system nor efficiency in the nrrnngement. ' At every session of the Lcglslnturc the members have voted appropriations, often with n recklessness; that wns appalling, nwnrc thnt they were exceeding the Income of tbe Stnte. The Governer wns nlwnys the goat. Tite Legislature "passed the buck." It was up te the Chief Executive te cut the appropriations te conform te the rev enues, nnd assume all the obloquy nnd pop pep ulnr condemnation for bis supposed pnrsi pnrsi meny. THE reckless prodigality of the Legislature of 1021 was n blessing in disguise. It aroused tbe thinking members of the Ilepub-' llenn Partv. It did net matter the excuse that n misleading report of the Auditor Gen eral en tbe State's Income wns responsible for this fiannclal debauch. The fact remained thnt the people bad te feet the bill. The menev te pay the piper had te come from the pockets of the citizens. It was this as much ns the rcvclntlens of gross mlnnnnngement in the offices of the Auditor General nnd Stnte Trensurer that rallied the voters te the gonfalon of Gifferd Plnchet. One of the greatest evils of our financial sjstem hns been the curse of the contingent fund. It is n lump sum set nslde te pny tbe Lord knows what. It Is nn official grab-bag, a teniptntlen constantly presented te every head of n department, nn invitntlen te graft, an encouragement te increase the payroll unnecessarily. Every past suggestion for regulating tbe Commonwealth's expenditures hns been do de cried by the Organization. Tbe scheme of a budget wns ptepostereus! Fer years the bosses scoffed at tbe idea of compelling banks te pay interest en the State's deposits. Hut the interest system was introduced, and the budget system will ultimately come. THE business men of the Stnte, Its man nfneturers, merchants nnd grent corpora tions that bear the buidcn of tnxatlen, nre meused. They arc demanding n complete reorganization of etir finances, the mainte nance of n budget. At the nnnunl convention of the State Chamber of Commerce labt October the following was unanimously adopted ; Whereas, The Fefleral Government and all of the States, except Pennsylvania and ene ether State, liave followed nppreed business practice by Installing n permanent budget procedure ; therefore, be it Resolved. That the Pennsylvania State Chamber of Commerce strongly urge the Installation of a lmaget system In our State government te expedite the creation of a balanced relationship between revenues and expenditures, nnd the adoption of a work program through correlated nnd prcpor prcper prcpor tienul appropriations te Stnte services and institutions. The appointment of n Citizens' Committee en Revenues nnd Appropriations by Gifferd Plnchet n few dnys after his nomination was bis respenhe te thnt call. He hns pledged himself te n reorgnnizatlen of our fiscal nffnlrs nnd a budget it budget, as stated in the nbove resolution, "te expedite the creation of a balanced relationship be tween revenues nnd expenditures." With cenciete knowledge of the sum. re quired te conduct the Stnte government, mid n conservative estltnnte of the State's revenues, presented te each recurrent Legls Inturc. there never ngnln will be presented stich disclosures as have disgraced the State in the past.

Daily Talks Jfith Thinking Philadelphia en 'Subjects They Knew Best JAMES BOYD On Philadelphia aa a Fletaer Center PHILADELPHIA is probably the leading city In the United Stntes In the mnttei of hertldulturnl Interest, only Hosten being In n position te dispute this leadership, ac cording te Jnmes He.vd, president of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society. "Even with the competition of Hosten ns one of the grent horticultural centers," said Mr. Boyd, "Philadelphia Is getting te the very front In this matter very rapidly'. Net only have we n number of large seed nna nursery estubllshmcuts In and near tbe city, but the Interest of the people us a whole is rapidly awakening te what lleral culture means te them and the geed which they may derive from a horticultural Interest. "The Pcnnsj Ivnnln Horticultural Society Is the eldest one of its kind In the United Stntes, having been organized In this city in 1827; therefore Philadelphia conies fairly by her Multicultural pre-eminence. The Massachusetts Society, however, was or ganized the following year, thnt Is, In 1628, nnd se, from the very first, the largest city In each of the two Commonwealths have been friendly rlvnls for supremacy. Interest in Flowers and Vegetables "It Is n mistake te regard the efforts of the organization ns being restricted entirely te flowers, although these form n very im portant and perhaps the lending clement of. tjie program of each year. Our Interest ex tends te ether brunches of horticulture as well, and every yenr the society offers prizes for fruit nnil vegetables ns well ns tlewcrs. During the war jears the efforts of the or ganizations were almost exclusively confined te vegetables, mid n geed bit of work uleng these Hues was accomplished. "Interest in nil tilings horticultural Is growing rapidly In Philadelphia ami Its Im mediate vicinity, mid this bus been especially the case in the last few years. There has been much mere Interest manifested in tbe home growing of things, nud there has been u much larger attendance numerically mid u higher degree of interest shown, nt the vnrlcms shows where the results of the skilled gardener:) of the city, most of whom nre net professionals, nre exhibited. "The women have contributed te tills In creased Intel est in n large measure by the exceedingly active personal inteicst which many of them arc taking in the raiding of flowers, fruits nnd vegetnbles. They have organized the Women's Heme Garden Club of Ameilcu, n national organization, which is doing wendciful work, net only in tlTc raising of garden stuffs, but also in In creasing the Interest felt in ull horticultural matters. A Great Cultural lnfliience "Flowers nnd music form what scciiib te me te be the two grentest cultural mid re fining influences which It Is possible te bring Inte the lives of people of ull con ditions and grades of society. Beth rich mid peer nre equully sensitive nnd respon sive te the effects of the two great elements for geed. "Te bring this home te the people of the city und the Stnte Is one of our main ob jects. We want te get people up te the point where they will thoroughly appreciate flowers und te tench them hew te use them properly In their homes, nnd te this end we offer prizes ecry jear te the school chil dren for such tilings as the best table decora tions ublng flowers exclusively, etc. "Te show hew the public Interest in "flowers hns increased in the last few jenrs It Is necessary only te note the number of entries for these prizes, which, whlle net large, carry with them considerable honor. When the society first began te offer prizes for the best table decorations, which in clude hall mid library as wcil as dining room tables, tlure were only nbeut lle or six entries In this class. At the last ex hibition there were fifty-five competitors. This shows clearly hew much mere Interest Is, new taken In horticultural matters than there was a few ears age, nnd It all e e deunds te the credit of the Intelligence und the desire fet; knowledge of the liner things, as shown by tlib people of our city and Its vicinity,. Flowers and Everyday Life "If a mere general knowledge of the use nnd appreciation of the beauty of flowers could be brought Inte the life of every person, there would be a great gain imme diately for civilization and fn miis,Mi influences.

"The same Increase of Interest of which I hnvc spoken in Philadelphia extends throughout the Stnte of Pcnnsylvnnin, al though it is perhaps stronger In this city thnn In nny ether. There nrc horticultural societies In mnny of the smaller cities throughout the Stnte nnd they nre doing excellent work in nreuslng nnd maintaining the interest In these things. "At the fpresent time we bold five ex hibitions every yenr In Phllndelpbln nnd Its immediate vicinity, nnd, ns I hnvc snld, they nre each year being .better attended. The summer exhibitions nre held in the suburbs nnd some of them nrc devoted te special kinds of flowers. Thus, the spring exhibi tion is devoted te peonies nnd roses, with spring bulbs nnd flowers, nnd there nrc nlse exhibitions, for sweet peas, dahlias, etc. These afford the persons who arc interested in these especinl kinds of flowers te see the best varieties ej them nnd note the change", which have 'been mnde In raising them nnd the new species which have been brought out. Flower Grewcrs Interested "The person who is renlly Interested In flowers acquires mnnv things which ndil te their nppreelntlen of the henutlful which is denied te these who have net this knowledge. They get u mere thorough understanding of the rcnl benuty of flowers, learn te knew the different species nnd And out what im provements hnvc been made, both In the flowers themselves nnd in the ninnncr of raising tllem. Then they usually apply this knowledge in their own gardens, whether they be lnrge or small. "Hut the rem value of this form of odu edu odu cntlen is cultural. Philadelphia Is In n singularly fortunate position with regard te its floral interests nnd 'by no means nil that is possible hns yet been done.
