WHY PINCHOT IS THE BEST MAN FOR THE JOB He Is PledRcd te a Program of Better ment and Delenns te the Party With out Whose Legislative Support It Cannet He Carried Out QNE week from today the voters will Indicate the kind of government they wish te have In Pennsylvania In the im mediate future. Part of them Indicated what the wished when they went te the polls in sufficient numbers nt the primaries te nominate (Mfferd Pinchot en the Itepublicaii ticket for the governorship. Most of these who pre ferred another candidate hove accepted the result and nre working te bring about the election of Mr. Pinchot. There nre rumblings of discontent, how ever. In certain districts. The bootleggers anil their friends arc disgruntled because Mr. Pinchot lia announced that he would enforce the law and because he has snld that the law which jcnr.lts the licensing of saloons should he repealed. Se far as the bootlegger opposition is con cen crtud, il should be welcomed, lr is oppo sition based en a desire that the etlieers of the law should wink nt Its violation. Mr. Pinchot has snid that he expected this op position and wan glad that it had come into the open. On the moral side his position is absolutely Found. And It Is also wise when viewed from the point of view of political expediency, for It has brought te his support the large number of citizens who believe In law enforcement, n number much larger than that of the citizens who favor permitting the bootleggers te continue te deal in the concoctions which they sell as whisky and gin. Hut the Issue is larger than the tolera tion of the purveers of flavored alcohol. It is the indersement by the people of the Commonwealth of the Harrlbur? house cleaning program of Mr. Plmhet. If the eter;. give te the candidate for the governorship an enormous majority the prospect is that bis majority will be larger than that of nnj ether candidate en the ticket the tellticians who have accepted his candidacy reluctantly and for the reason tint il,) ether course "vas epm te them If they wished te retain their party regularity v id liinl tiielr 'power te b'etk his plans weakened If net destroyed altogether.

Thinking Au.erii mis who are, however, none tee abundant in times of hnued po litical controversy, can hardly fail te echo this sentiment or te admire the as-uriinee and skill with which Mr Hughes ni handled some extremely knett.v problem. With pardonable prUb . the Secretin- dveli In some detail upon the notab'e achievement n( the Washington Cenferencii, referring Figniticantly te the rat'.lieatien of all the treaties by the. Culled States, Great Ilrltnin and Jnpan, and rightly suvgentlng that, with se -(lll,l n Ktnrt" disruption of this new Htructute of peace is virtually out of the mtestlnii. It was time that beiup one In authority should make this tereenst In answer te skepllcnl crltlcitra of the super acini alarmist type. After rccallluf the establishment of peace with the Central Powers, Mr. Hughes ex pressed hat appears from the record te be the sentiment nf the American people In his defense of the Administration's policy of abstention from peculiarly Kurepean dis putes and imbroglios, including also these of the Near Knst. On the ether hand, the consistent effort te develop a new spirit of harmony, progress and helpful eo-epcratlou in the New World Is a program of un questioned popularity. This general policy has been observed in flip settlement of the toy war between Ceslu llica and Panama, the first foreign problem of the linrdliig Administration; in the plans for Central, American conference te be held In Washington m December, In the adjust ment of chaotic conditions In Haiti and Sante Dominge, in the reorganization of Cuban finances and in the establishment of machinery for settling the Tncnn-Atica dis pute by arbitration. This is indeed a noteworthy record of Pan American pregresf, although Mexico, owing te speciul conditions, remains outside the picture. Mr. llughe.s is entitled te be proud of the showing in which his hand was se conspicuous. Although the League of Nations received no specific mention in the survey, it is in rerestlng te note that the spirit animating the international court of justice is net re garded as contrary te that of the Adminis tration. Mr. Hughes is of the opinion that suitable arrangements can be made for the participation by this tlevernment in the election of Judges of the court," n view which Is confirmed by the fact that members of the court nre net required te nccept membership in the League. It may be added that If there was mere of Mr. Hughes than of Mr. Ledge in this "report." tin's may have resulted from the rin't that the talents of the Secretary of Stale nre mainly constructive nud that Ik; has everted them with success in the treat ment of delicate and vital problems in twenty months of the Harding Administration. WHAT'S UP IN ITALY rnHU Tascistl movement In Italy, which X has just culminated in a governmental change net unlike that brought about In England by the forced resignation of Llevd C.eerge. began n few months nfter the nrmistice as n reaction of conservative and property holding classes against Socialists, Communists ami ether radicals. These elements were nt that time actively under the influence of emissaries from Lenine. They were frankly intent upon com cem munizing Italian industries. They actually seized the pert nf Genea after a bitter strike of deck workers. They took a number of important manufacturing industries out of the hands of the owners and attempted te work them after the manner of Kussian Communists and failed. The Pnscisti came into being as an or ganization of fervice men newly returned fietn the front. The term by which they designate themchcs is derived from the Italian word "fascie" which, broadly in terpreted, mean' a gathering together! The full name of the order translated into Lng'.isb would mean "the gathering of the comrades of battle." Different as the origin and mood of (he I'ascisti nre from the ancient spirit of Hritish Te""jis!n, the result of the labors of the comrades (,f battle is in many ways -i-gestive of the achievements of the group that ousted Llejtl Geerge. It leprevnts, or was intended by its lmders ie represent, a return te elder fashioned notions of gov ernment, te normalcy, and a di parture from the liber?! tleerles of political and cconemli; adien brought into being after the war. Thus the Piiscisti n:e morally opposed te political radicalism because nf the efforts of radical leaders t bring teligi.n into con- i tempt. I In ir p.iirnitim i- e.pr,se, usually i in a reived spirit of eelii-.ie nationalism. I Seme of their activities wire reminiscent of the activities of aggressive groups of the j American service men who raided what they deemed radical meetings and opposed ' radical manifestations by organized labor and its leaders. A the beginning, the Fa'cNtl were tacitlv encouraged by the Italiun Govern ment and by employing ginups threatened with spellatlnii by powerful labor organiza tions of a communistic turn of mind. It has been demonstrated that the "radical enseivativis," new under Mussolini's !c.i(h rdnp. were financed bv the ship ship owners when they tool; the pert of Genea out of the Lands of tin e .munis,: Latter!, however, .fierding te the most authentic accounts, an unexpected change has taken place in the coniplexiei of the organisatien. vv inn n ue.iu m ui.,ij.i. controlling power m Italy vast numbers of we-kmgmen joined ' It absorbed many of the labor unions and very large classes of the radicals wh.'in it had formerly op posed.

Ter the present, however, it demands from the rest of Kurepe many of the things which D'Annunzie wished te obtain. It is uet content te abide bv political decisions upon which Europe a 1 .rge has been tr.ving te achieve a new bulan.c. It w.ui's new understanding"-, new awards of termer new niiiieunl advantages which the ether Powers are net willing te give and which the mere eperieiic"d sttitei.rr.pu in Italy have net seen ..; in demand.

MADE THEIR "GETAWAY" Notorious Crimes Whose Perpetrators Were Nerer Apprehended The Mysterious Cases of Majer Wilsen and Willltm Martin Vy GEORGE NOX McCAIN IT IS regrettnble but true that homicide are uppermost in the news of the day. Equally regrettable Is the fact that se many of the perpetrators escape and the crimes remain unavenged. The susceptibility of the average venire man te the sob-stuff of clever attorneys re ceived a merited and vitriolic rebuke from a New Yerk judge in a murder case last week. The culprit w.ih freed by the verdict. He had nssnsslnated in cold bleed a man who bad warned him te stay away from bis home. .ludge Alfred J. Taller, addressing the jury after its verdict, said: "Ne ether country In the world haa a record for such t hocking lawlessness, and the reason vp held the world's record in crime, mid particularly in murder, la -e-cause juries render verdicts of this kind.'' rpiIK proportion of murders thnt are never A solved or the criminals npprebended Is larger than might be supposed. Lieutenant Helshnw, In charge of the murder squad. say that of 101 murders from January 1 te October 1 this year, only four remain unsolved. This, I think, is a low average. Hew does it usually come about? A homicide is committed veiled In mya tery. There nre no claes. The detectlven mill around for a few weeks, and finally the search Is abandoned. There's nothing te work en. and another murder gees into the record of the unsolved and uuselvable. Or, as in the Mills-Hall case, the most dramatic episodes surround the crime. Hut these clues alto dissolve after a while, the public loses i,. rest, the story disap pears from the first pnge cf the newspapers and the police drop the hunt. There have been scores of uch cases in the police annals of this city. rpIIERD la a long list of murders un- avenged in Philadelphia in the last two score years. On the night of November 11. 1884. James !'. Colgan and James Oerman had words in the fermer'r oyster bar at 320 ine street. German refined te pay for oysters he had ordered. Colgan followed German te the street, where the hitter knocked him down. He died In a few moments. German was never apprehended. A sterv, believed ie be a faltp, was circulated a few Jears Inter that he was dead. Just one month Inter Charles Gibbs killed Albert I.attisel: at .ri()7 North Second street with n hammer during an Itcrcatien. The murderer escaped and was, never henrd of. "Pish Jee's" case was famous at the time because it occurred in Genua ntewn. The crime was committed in Wiml' miirl. Germnntewn, at that time a pluce of ragged ' reputation. ' j a woman, cntlterine Jlnggertv. the third wife of Cluney, was the cause of the crime. t.iuiiey came home one day and found his wife and Jeseph Herden. better known us I ish Jee, drinking together. He seized n butcher knife from the kitchen table and dispatched the intruder. Then he escaped and van never apprehended. JOHN F. SLATER, a member of the Leg- H.ir'H.V'X frera ,he Second District In IMi'.i-HiO.I, better known as "I-id" Slater because of his vust bulk, figured It. a famous downtown case in 1SSS. Slater committed suicide s. couple of years age. He was a special etlicer In Seuth Phila delphia ill 1SSS. It was a labor-union light In which Reece Hemnnelli was charged with reporting Lmilie Nnrdielle, a musen, for working below the scale price. Net long afterward Nnrdielle and Roma Rema nelll met in a cigar shop at Eighth and l.arpenter streets. Nardielle was accompanied by two of bis brother--. A light ensued in which the sti letto was used with deadly efiect en Roma Rema nelli. Special Officer Slater was put en the case, but th murderers get away from the city and were never caught. Slater maintained that the Nnrdiellns es caped te Italy befere he had a chance te nirest them. JOHN Sf HLONE was abuing his wife nt 717 Stafferd street en October 1.0. Lslld. Jehn Smith interfered en bchnlf of the woman and was stabbed t . death by the enraged husband, whft disappeared. It was supposed "that he also went te Italy, as lie was a native of that country. Still another Itnlian murder in which tlt crinunnl is supposed te have tied te his native land was that of Luisi Sicarde. It occurred in July, LSf7, ever a plug of tobacco. The crime was perpetrated in n bakery a- 11 Carpenter street, and the murderer was named Enrice Cerutti. William Hurhe. a convict jnBt released from pri-eu. hulled a brick at Patrick I)e-Jani-y. of L7i:: Fisher street, Pert Richmond, en October II. 1M)1. It caught Delaney under thn eye and he died in a few hours Debinev had upbraided Burke for splllini dirt en the pavement while unloading some weed. Hurke escaped. Patrolman Jehnsen, of the Lancaster avenue station, wns murdered in the early ninetiis by n mysterious man whose Identity was never discovered. He saw- the fellow prowling around the e'd Powelton Avenue Station of the Penn-s.vlvnn-a Railroad and placed him under arrest. The prisoner whipped out n revolver, placed it te the niiicer's abdomen and dis charged it Jehnsen din! nt the Presb.v leriaii Hospital. Cenner, nnethrr officer, started after the man. but he was awed by the criminal's gun and permitted him te escape. Cenner wns dropped from the force. ONI' of the me-it famous of the m.vsterl m.vsterl eus homicides in tills cm- was that of Librarian Majer William C U'lsflM, He wiis 1 eaten Ie death cirlv in the eve ning of August Ki. 1Mi7. nt his book shop mid librar.v, 1117 Walnut stieet.

WARMING UP II Kill it IvKmtSStHKSKtMmlMfJ JS m. TIibbbbbbhHbDsLbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbh NOW MY IDEA IS THIS! Daily Talks With Thinking Philadelphia en Subjects They Knew Best ALBERT KELSEY , On Co-erdinntinK Philadelphia District EVERY reat metropolitan ccntf such as Philadelphia cannot nttuin its highest Ideal alone, but must have the assistance of the lnnny self-governing communities vvlilcli lie nrniind it, according te Albert Kelsey, the nrchltect and chairman of the Metro politan Development Committee of the Art Club. "The Idea of such n development." said Mr. Kelsey, "Is. first of all, te tecesnlr.e the ever-growing interdependence of the clusters of self-governing communities nreund the city itself. It is self-evident that no one or two such communities! can de nearly such effective work toward such tin end as is possible when all of them work In harmony with each ether and with Phil adelphia, the largest of the group. "The next step is te teeluce modern city making te its simplest elements, namely, circulation, hygiene nnd beauty, and te plan for the extension of these three things, bet ter circulation, niore salubrity nnd mere beauty. The Plan for Philadelphia ' New, taking up first the central point in the present plan Philadelphia here nre some, of the things which we hnvp In mind and which wp hope can ultimntely be brought about. One of the fiict things te lie con sidered would be a fine new artery te con nect the Parkway and the Schu.vlkill Valley with New Jersey, b way of the new Del aware bridge. "Next, a girdle boulevard 2M feet wide, from the new Art Museum down the Schul klll, thence up along the Delaware te a point between Sixth nnd Seventh streets, thence te Independence Square, tlun en across Market street te the Delaware bridge. "Then at Independence Square, there should be (in open space of half a bloc k in width, in fient of th- Independence Hall group of buildings. While we de net tin dere.stir.inte the gieat cost nor the diifieiilly ii earning out ibis plan, still it would be well worth nil that it would cost, for It would net only serve as a titling telling for the shrine of American Illicit, perhaps the most precious national heritage In the I'lilted States and the one most intimately associated with the Revolution and Its splendid histei. but ii would have an im portant practical bearing In reducing the fire liiirard te the Independence Hall group of buildings, a very important matter, as the inside of these buildings is nlmest entirely of weed, which would o'er little resistance against n big lire. Extending the Ru!cvard "The ether element nf this plan, ns out lined. Is the extension of the Roosevelt Hijiilevnrd te Trenten. "The benefits, nt these things te the City nf Philadelphia alone are se obvious as te need no comment. The girdle boulevard would de wonders for Southeastern Phil adelphia, and nil of the projects would play a leading part In the general development of the city along artistic as well as practical "The metropolitan district of Philadelphia mnv be roughly considered te be all that land and all 'he communities within a radius of thlrtv miles et me cny proper, n is the Idea', after having a movement for this development of this dbfrlct along general lines established In Philadelphia, te take ., U ill iiiiigueus communities, within this thirtv-iiille radius; nnd study their needs nnd their possibilities in it similar manner. Ne leadership Intended "Hut first of nil, it must be distinctly understood that all the Improvements which anv of these communities hnve under way or' which they contemplate making ai-e te 1. Included in thin general plan. It ,v no means our intention nor our desire te act as leaders, but simply te fellow wheie eiitemtiliitecl Impieveinents am concerned ' I te work In entire harmony with all of he cemmiinltleH in the hope that together '.,. lBy achieve- a Inrger measure of metro metre metro pelltau development for the district as a W iVi" ulinrt. the ulan which we have In mind Is one of co-ordination and encourage. cut. and net one of trying te revolutionize or disturb in any manner the plans of ether cities or towns. All we nie aiming at Is tjiu Idea of mutual beneflt, by working liarmoal liarmeal liarmoal euslv together for the best Interests nf un all, "There is plenty of work te be done In the matter. There are insanitnry districts te be improved, such ns the banks of the Schuylkill River; there are unsuspected beauty spots like the Wlssahlcken Drive te be made acceshible te many communities unci there nip direct, wider and better lines of communication needed between most of the towns and cities within the thirty-mile radius of Philadelphia. Lines of Communication "The matter of better communication Is one of the most important in its relation te the better development of the district. Il gees without saying that it should be an easy matter for a person te get from his own town or city te any ether within the radius, but ibis is net always the case at the present time nor will It he until there is some comprehensive plan developed by nil the communities working together te this common end. "There arc thousands of beauty spots which should be easily reached by all, and their location nnd the way te get te them should be known by ever resident of the district. These spots nie by no means nil in the Park, but are scattered throughout the whole district, ami each Is known te a comparatively small iiumlei- of the popula tion of the district, if the could be co ordinated in some such mniiuer as this plan contemplates. It would be a trcmeudeu-. asset for the community in which it stands, for tlie district as a whole and for the per per per sonste whom they nie made easily accessible. "Tlie lines of communication could be im proved by the making of new reads, by having all tlie reads of the same kind anil width throughout the disnlet nml in many ether ways, all a benefit for the cora cera iniiiiit.v, the district and the individual who uses them. Werk lu the .Schools "The schools also offer opportunities for work, by arranging for a better distribu tion of them and by ireviding ample .vards for pluj. There are In thii district certain schools, ami I might almost hii there are certain sections, wheie the plnjgniund space is i rii"tli"ti) un. ether nations have placed this mailer upon a scientific basis and we should de the same thing here. The dis tribution of tlie schools should, of course, be based upon the matter of relative popu lation, se that each child has its educa tional facilities within lis ntvi ss nil the time. "All that we ask is the co-operation of the various communities in helping te cairy out this general plan. I cannot make it tee clear that our iittltu Ie N te accept what thev have and cheerfully ie indorse all their plans for improvement. All that we want Is te knew hew te get te these places and te enjoy them, "The originator of this plan, se far as the Art Club is concerned, was lir. Themas 11.
