PhUidelphU, fdnrdir. !tptembrr 20, K1 EVIDENCE OF BETTER TIMES T11K significance of the fiiumclal report of the Rapid Transit Company extends beyond the immediate business of that cor poration. - It Is encouraging te unto that the deficit of $70,"S.v;?S in net Income for August of last yenr has been turned intw a surplus of $4185.4!) for Int Augut. nnd thnt the net Income for tlic first eight months of the year Is $.17.S,.".j1.:S7 greater than for the corre sponding period of last yenr. But this In crease in Income could net hnve come nbeut solely through the efforts et tbe management of the company. Mere persons ued the street cars this summer thnn last summer, doubtless he cause mere persons were employed nnd had te use the cars te go te work. The in crease began In May and has continued since that time until in August there were 1,787,000 mere riders thnn In August of last j ear. With the end of the vacation season and with the increased activity In various kinds of business the Rapid Transit Company will Inexltnbly profit further through the in crease In the use of its cars Its net income alrendj is sufficient te Insure the continued payment of dividends and te justify the confident hope of Mr. Mitten thnt it vUtl be able In the future te raise all the money it nerds for Its further financial operations. LIMITATIONS ON THE TURK R WORTS from the chancelleries of Western llurepe disclose nothing which en the surface resembles a mncrrted policy of the former Allies toward the resuscitated ml at present victorious Turk (Jrent Britain, it Is said, intends, eemn what may. defending the Dardanelles with naval and. If necessary, milltar force. The Italian Government Is considering withdrawing Its contingent of troops from the neutral zone around the Straits, nnd the French are cnunclntlng "pacific" measures with a view te promoting pnrlejs nnd conferences. It is questionable, however, whether all these npparent divergencies of opinion are accurate indices of the sltuntien. ttenernl relic, the French Commissioner, has gene te Smyrna te consult with Mestapha Keiiml, and Is' said te have been Instructed by the Allied High Command te warn the lender of the Turkish Nntlena'lsts that nn encroach ment upon the neutral xene will be resisted with decisive action by France and Itnl as well ns Crent Britain This report may be token te mean tint while the latter Governments de net pro pose making war upon the Turks, the.v will help. In company with Knglnnd. te defend and retain Constantinople, the chief prize which the Kemallsts ceiet. It Is hnrdly te be doubted thnt the great Beet new being assembled In the narrow wnters between Kurepe nnd Asia csn prevent a cresslnp; by the Ottomans. If Kurepe Is net Invaded, the British threat of Inde pendent inl'itary action hues Its practical bearing en the eaae. Obviously It will net matter greatlj if France and Italy, with their present re pugnance te the adoption of mllltarj meas ures, are nt odds with a British policy ap plied only te n sltuntien which hns net vet risen and which In all likelihood will net ccur. The possibility thnt Great Britain would consider undertaking te drive the Turks from their conquests In Asia Miner is extremely j'lin. It Is the danger of conflagration In Beiit'henstern F.urejje that Is new the pri mary concern of Downing Street. If such a perli can be avoided there remains a chnnce that, notwithstanding M Pelncnre's pleas for peace and Winsten Churchill's nlleRed rail for nn assertion of the dignity of the empire, -eme accord imij centunlly be reached. Se long ns the Turk is kept In Asia hope CTlsts for a settlement, since Willi that Ilmi ration ''Is field of conquest is serleuly confined. With nil tie friendship which he lias iven from the directors of French fnreisn peliej, It Is extremelv improbable that this sf.iti. Went could hp converted Inte sanctioning a Kernnllst onslaught en Stria, new under n tnnndnte government b France. Should Rhodes or the Dedecanesiis be Imperiled h Otteman adventures it is inevitable that Italian diplomatists would experience .1 change of heart. Such factors deserve consideration in n crisis the true inwardness of which is net eempletelv reflected hv the semewhnt frnntlc bulletins from the foreign offices of Londen, Paris nnd Reme There Is net one of the three Powers which enn nffnrcl sanctioning entire freedom for Kernnllst ambitions AN UNWRITTEN MOVIE DRAMA IN JAPAN nn extrnerdlnnry nnd signifi cant nnd grimly funny thing hns bepn happening te a moving-picture ncter. Al Al meat every one in the Cnlted States Is familiar w'ith the- countenance of Sessue Hayaknwn, the Japanese stnr made famous by one of the Holljweod producers of film melodrama. Bessue could art. He has appeared re peatedly as a dark and mjsterlnus Oriental ipy, who moved malignantly through plnja Uggesllve of Japanese enmity te the; Cnlted Btates and the Japanese Will te Conquer. New Sessue, who returned te Jnpnn te re tiw and live in peace. Is hiding from his own people. He expected te be received with acclaim, as Chnrley Chaplin was received en bis travels. "It was net the Rotary Club that met him." says a cnhle, "but a sort of Japemc Ku Kliix Klnn." It is charged by the qiceple in Jnpnn that Sessue has blackened their fueei and misrepresented thfP In the eyes of the American people, and that he has set up me grnunuwern ter nil aerts of hales and suspicions in the minds of millions of people overseas. , Sometimes It appears, that the crowd has latter wnse thnn the mlnurltj thnt con cen dtttcenOa Jelerantly te lead it.

DON'T BUY A LITTLE COT WHEN A BIG BED IS NEEDED Makeshift Plans for Enlarging Postal Facilities Are Foolish In View of the Certainty of the Continued Rapid Expansion of Business A MAN with a family of small children Is 'rv justified In buying a cot for n baby thnt had outgrown Its crib only If he i's unable te ttffnrd n bed. The cot Is but a makeshift which the child will outgrew just as he outgrew the crih. The report of the Joint Pestnl Commis sion of Congress en cnndltlens In this city, notwithstanding its many merits, suggests the recommendation of 11 well-to-de mnn te his wife that they buy a cot for Johnnie. The postal business of the city has out grown Its crib, jet the Joint Commission suggests that nn nddltleu be built cm one side of the crib se that it can stretch out one leg nt it time. What the situation demands Is a thorough survey, net enlj of the postal needs for the next twentj-fhe or fifty jenrs. but of the railroad terminal problem and its solution. The recommendation th.w n new branch I'osleffiie he built In Market street nenr the Brend Street Station is based en the n.ssumptlen thnt the station Is te remain permanently where It new K yet there are thousands of Phlladelphlnns who are hoping thnt the directors of the railroad will con sider the importance of bringing their through trains Inte the heart of the city and will locate the new station, when It Is built, at some point northwest of its present site. The city suffers In reputation because the through trains discharge their passen gers a lenj wny from the business center of the town, nnd Phllndelphinns who wNh te take a through train are Inconvenienced by the necessity of going te West Philadelphia or te North Philadelphia te heard It A union station te which the trains of all the lines entering the city would come maj be Impracticable, though that I bj no ne:i certain; yet the Pcnnsjhania sjstem 1 an he'p the city nnd help Itse'f by plan ning its new station in such a way as 10 make it the stepping point of Its trains te the West ami the Seuth. This station would put the proposed Market street Posleflice almost a- far away from the mail trains ns the present Po-t-effice at Xiuth street new Is. What would seem te be the beginning of the solution of the problem would be the adoption of the plan suggested bj Mr Hoexcr In connection with n Federal build ing for the Scsqul-Centcnninl. The present I'osteflVe accommodates the Federal courts, with the I nitre! States p- 1 trlct Attorney, the Cnlted States Marshal, the Cnlted States Commissioners and the Internal Rexenue Collector. When Presi dent Harding appoints the new Federal Judges which Congress has authorized it will he necessary te provide accommodations for a third Judge The quarters for the two Judges new sitting here nre Inadequate, New. Mr Hoever suggested that the Government erect en the Parkway a ells- nified building te be used, first, for the ! natlennl exhibit at the Sesqul-Centennial Fair, and then te he used as the head- quarters for the Federal courts nnd the J oilier Federal departments, snve the Pest- I office. This plan would xncnte all Ihe space in the present Postetlicc net urd for handling the mails. It would make It esib!e te rearrange the interior of that bul'dlng In such n way ns better te accom modate the business done there, a business Increasing ccrj jear and bound te increase with much greater rapidity in the future than it lias in the pact. Mnnj large office buildings and hotels are going up in the heart of the lt When thej nre occupied the business population of the district in which they are located will be much greater thnn it Is new. nnd the handling of the mall of this population will r empel the appointment of many eitm car riers and will demand greater space for their accommodation. Whnt Is going en new will go en for the next twenty-the or llftj jenrs. Plans should take Inte account the probable growth of business for the net twentj -five j ears at least. Iti expansion mav be se "rear that a new central posteftVe will haxe te be built, while the present Postellice will become a downtown branch. Ne site for that Posteflice should he selected until It Is known definitely whnt the solution of the railroad terminal problem Is te be. And then the building should be for pesinl pur poses alone The courts ought te have a building of such proportions and of such dignity as te comport with the administration of justice in n rich nntlen of mere than 100,000,000 population. A s-Ue for it could readily be found en the Parkway, which it Ih hoped will be lined with monumental structures of a public character. Th. rncommendatlens of the Joint Cem mission hnve, unfortunately, net gene be be jend the immediate and pressing needs. It mn be necessary te adept some makeshifts until comprehensive plans can he prepared, but the Importance of pluns looking te the future expansion of the pestnl business must net be overlooked. KLUXERS MEET THEIR MATCH WU.Ii the Ku Klux Klnn prepare tur and feuthers for Judge David, of the Su perior Court In Chicago? The general discussion of the Klnn wns moved forward te n new and sUnllicniii phase yestcrdiij when this courageous jurist uiiiietinced that no member of the order would lie permitted te serve as n juror In his court. The derision is solidly grounded In common sense and moral understanding. Fer, as Judge David observed, every mem ber of Wizard Simmons' personally con ducted order hns confirmed opinions relative te many tuntters of seelnl and political Im Im eort, npd therefore a klansman could net be an acceptable juror, s EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER If r man Is unfitted by temperament or belief te exercise one of the essential duties of citizenship, his right te vote may be doubted. Judge David's ruling mentis thnt In the view of one court n kluxer Is net fit te he recognized as a citizen. When men aren't fit for citizenship certainly they aren't fit te be permitted te lake the law out of the hnnds of the election authorities and administer It informally according te the dictates of (heir own minds. VETOED pilKSIDBXT HARDING'S veto of the Soldier Benus Bill wns Inevitable. Ne one In Washington, either In the lobby or ganized by Commander MncNIiler or In Con gress, expected 11 different outcome of whnt may justly be called n scandal of political opportunism in the Senate. The Heuse, being even Irss senslihp than the Senate In considerations of lis general respenslbllllj, probably will repass the bill ever the President's ete with 11 hurrah. Such action will he in accord with political science ns it Is understood h the average Representative. The gallery will be pleased. And the Heuse will knew that the bonus measure will die, as It was destined first te die, In the Sennle, where enough etes le carry It exer the ete cannot be mar shaled. A calm and just regard for the mnterlal and moral Interests of the country Is re fleeted In Mr. Harding's message. The politicians in Congress have been thinking only of themselves. Commander MacNIder has been thinking only of the pre-bonus members of the American I.rglen. The President took time le think for the country, and for that he desrnrs the grntitud- of every ratlenal-nilnded cltl7.cn. lie kept his bend and bis courage. In returning the bill unsigned he does little but repent his orlgl erlgl nnl objections nnd remind Congress ngaiu of a condition le which he called Us atten tion at the outset when he Informed the leaders of the bonus movement that he would xete any bonus hilt that did net provide u means of obtaining the necessary revenues. Ne dependable means of obtaining revenues was suggestrd. CengresH could net think of any. It didn't feel in its heart that it needed te think of any, because the men who had most te tny in favor of the bonus knew thnt it bonus wns Impossible. In the present fiscal jear the Government will spend ever half a billion dollars for tbe care of disabled Mildlers. There must never he any limit te the effort which such expenditures represent Next .'car. ns Mr Harding points out, we shall spend virtually ns much. The telal of the awnids made In discharge bonuses wns approximately a quarter of ,1 hl'llen. If the Benus Bill had been signed instead of ve toed we should new have te pre pare te find nbeut four billions mere for further awards te men who served In military organizations during the recent war. Nene of the levenue-raising met beds proposed casuallj during the debate of the li.st six months was practical. Manj of them were fantastic and some of them were nctuallj dangerous, emigre -s compromised In the usual waj. It decided le put the burden of a stupendous debt upon posterity. Doing that, however. It was readj te impair the credit of the ceuntrj permanently. len if its .schemes hail been put Inte practice, service men would ha benefited little. Benus certificates of the sort piopescd as pioinlssery notes issued against future gen erations would almost ertaiuly have been of uncertain value in the present tinauiint state of the country and the world. Specu lators of the far future might have grown rich en bonus paper Almest cverj one in mediately eencernetl would have lest in one way or another. The Senate hated the thought of a bonus from the first. Juste ud of rejecting the s' . gestlen, however, It reseirted te an unex ampled series of pretenses, peises and sub terfiiges. The lebbj that was In part re sponsible for the Senate's plight must share the blame for one of the sorriest games of political evasion ever plnjed out en the lloer of Congress, for Congress, merelj imposed upon the Prcslelent a duty which none of Its leaders had the leurnge te perform. It left in Mr. Harding the dutj of telling the service men that the pujment of the bonus thej demanded was Impossible, that the country, burdened as it l, evmleln't bear the nddltiennl weight, and that n is the duty of the Nntlen te devote its wealth and its thoughts te tbe welfare of sn : 1 1 iHsabled soldiers rather than te nk wh.it is needeel for these helpless veterans In throwing the whole iiiestien of service appropriations info a muddle of crur.j scheme's epice te dis tribute gifts te ahle-beiclleel nen who de net greatlj need them and didn't ask for them until expert propagandists v c re engaged te put the notion into their bends MANIACS AT LARGE unreasoning imun.i's inn 01 ine nerve racked underworld weaklings addicted te It.
