A CONTEST OF INTELLECTS TO BE STAGED THIS FALL The Debates Between English and American Students Leas Exciting but Mere Significant Than Intercollegiate Sports TT liens without saying that the Inter- collegiate football games this fall will attract mere attention thnn the debates be tween a, team from the Oxford 1 nien and teams from Swaithmerc nnd from various ether American colleges and universities. Football is spectacular. It is played in the open nir with the accompaniment of music and cheering. A football game In the stadium en Franklin Field is a spectacle whiih iiistiiies the attention ITint it receives The spectators are part of the spectne'e, although thej probably de net realize it. Ker one gees te see the enthusiasm of the crowd of which he is part. Tins pleasure in seeing a multi'mle con centrating its attention en an athletic con test is iiluuist ns great ns the pleasure de riied from watching the contest itself. The pt ((portion between these interested in the spectacle and these interested in the nieo niee iiis of the ;,uiif is abe it as live te 'lie. An imenellegiate debate makes no Midi appeal le the imagination or te the nppeti'e of excitement. Yet it !s n contest just the same. Rut it is a contest without the primitive appeal that gees with a test of physical prewes Small boys who nre primitive In their instincts never engage In Intellectual con tests of their own will.

Indifference te future problems hns cost an Indulgent nnd geed-natured public millions In reconstruc tion work which, in many lnstnnces, would have been unnecessary had some compre hensive) plan of improvement been followed from the outset. It Is net easy te convince the Individual citieii, nor the legislative bodies which rcpiesent him, that an ounce of prevention Is a primary need. With a cheerfulness which is positively reprehensible he will pa for he pound of cure. Seme .vears age the grade-crossing dan ger nt Ninth and Columbia avenue was lemeved bv raising the street level nnd build ing a bridge ever the track. Scant con sideration was given te the prospect of elevating the Reading Railway through the iltv. Within n comparatively few years this operation was completed nnd Columbia avenue nt Ninth street was depressed under the tracks. While this may be deemed a miner in stance of extravagance, it Is assuredly tvpical. With a modicum of foresight In the' beginning the street would hnve been lowered in anticipation of the railway Im provement. The comprehensive program Is Intended te mitigate the expensive undoing of errors mid the wasteful rebuilding in which se many Ameiicnn cities indulge te repair initial blunders. Rven n slight attention te the principle of intelligent co-operation nnd nn occasional glance at the future would be u distinct gain. DOPE AND C0UNCILMEN Till' tone and inler of statements issued informally by Mr. Weglein, Mr. Lime burner and ether members of City Council indicate that iliese gentlemen were actually shocked te leuin. tllleugll the records of Judge Metiaghan s tour! and the Police Ru roan, of the extent and recent growth of the lllidt drug tiallic in Philadelphia. Se we have the pieniUe of nn appropriation te aid lu the suppression of the traffic and the de struction of the system of distribution which makes It dnily mere prelltnble. This is welcome news, for the root of the drug question Is political. It is held in tome quarters that the spreading use of narcotic drugs is related te the strictures of the prohibition law. This may be true In some miner degree. Rut as every one who knows anything of the gen eral problem rcali7es, the psveholegy et the driitikai'l nnd the psychology of the drug addict are fundamentally different. It may be assumed that heavy drinkers, no longer able te obtain ted liquor, may experiment occasional! with the far mere dangerous narcotics. Su h a person, however, would never become the typical "fiend" of the gut ters and th" police courts. Drug peddlers seek their victims among paitl'ular and well-defined classes thru never were familiar in the saloons- chil dren of school age. jeung cirls, out lis of all son- in the undis. iplined groups of the si reels and men and women of the sort who-e mera! resistance is obvleubly a little below normal. They nppeal te sensation hunters of every class and kind. And lu ebseiving In City Council the growth of a ieali-tic Interest in the problem of illicit drugs, u is interesting le remember that the peddlers and the managers of drug syndi cates almost invariably work in co-operation with the baser sort of political heelers or '.nder the protection of the system which these heeleis maintain. Te get nt the root of the drug traffic in this ci'y it would be nei esary mil le raid and wipe out of existence forever the in numerable obscure dies nnd clubs nnd gath ering places wbidi exist if net with the help nt least with the sanction of ward workers In peme areas. Whether such a " lean-up" is centdiiplufd in statements new bdrij 1-siied from Citv Hull remains te be seen.

NOW MY IDEA IS THIS! Daily Talks With Thinking Philadclphiuns en Subjects They Kneiv Best WILLIAM F. JAMES On Constructive Planning for the Future TWO things aie vitally neecssnry for the development of n mere dependable and permanent prosperity for Philadelphia nnd vicinity, according te William F. James, of the Westinghouse F.'.eetric nnd Manufac turing Company. One of these is neccslty for careful constructive planning for the future of the various municipal elements of the district, and the ether Is for a better relationship between employers and Iheir workers. "In the Industrial Relations Committee of the Chamber of Commerce." said Mr. James, "we have been nt work for seveiul jeurs te clear up some of the differences existing In certain industries in the city itself, with the idea of developing conditions se thnt the emplevers and their men might get together naturally rather than by organization meth ods. "Rut as we have gene along we found that while we had accomplished a geed deal In cases where a third party i.eemed te be needed. If we were ever te accomplish any thing permanent, we would have te get, down te fundamentals, te the differences en which the present difficulties rest. Several Things Needed "In tills stage of development we see that several things ure needed. One of the most impertnnt of these is te spread the gospel of mutual understanding between employers nnd empleyes, se thnt they will net between themselves without resorting te outside con tacts, whether these outside elements be in the form of labor unions or In the necessity for the employed .s te form an organization umeng themselves. "There is In Philadelphia any number of mutually satirfactery arrangements existing between employers and emplees, arrange ments which bave been tested by time and difficulties, il list of which is being prepared for circulation by the Industrial Relations Committee. 1 believe that when these are universally known much of the industrial troubles of the last few years will be elimi nated.
