The action i commend able, altheuirh the tlantrer i liicrea.mr that lepeated dematvla fT reform may have a tendency te irdute in the public a sense of weaimess. Nejrleet of a notable hiteiic and scientific shrine is accepted emewhat a. a conentien. Philadelphia seems, unfortunately, te rcR.'ird the persistent llaprancy of thpir dereliction , condenation of the etFene. The ob ions way te put an end t 'boredom engendered when the state of Jehn Iai tram's pioneer horticultural laboratory is mentioned i? te make 'effective and prompt reparation. The Beard of Trade requests the restoration 'of the irardtn a an arboretum under the custody of the Fairmount Park Commis-iener?. This program should, of course, include the reconditioning of the chaiming old Colonial mansion. '1 he um necessary for the work is net large. It is particularly modest in comparison with th appropriations sought te inlay with jasper, chalcedony or their equivalent.- m the Art Museum or the Convention Hall. Council would net be crippled by voting the money requited and the public would be spared fuither hearings of a dismal and monotonous but authentic tale. THE HITLER FIZZLE TT'RO.M the amount of noi-e made by the objectors te the appointment of Pierce I'.jtijr te the Supreme Court bench the uninitiated might hav been led te bihec that theie was censn'.eiable doubt about his confirmation by the Senate. But when the Senate acted there were only eight negative vote- cast, three of them by Republicans and five by South ern Demeciats. Forty Republicans and twentj -one lArr.ecrats eted for confir mation. It was a foregone conclusion from the moment the name of Mr. Rutler was sent te the Si rate that the appointment would be confirmed. He is a lawyer of experi ence and J.igh -'.and ng and of unim peached mtegiity. But he has had rail roads for hi.-, clur.t.-. The opportunity for the demagegue- te seek a little pepulant. among the unthinking by at- tacking h.n. was tee geed te be mis-td. Hence the hul.abaloe. U .t .t ameunti'd te nothing. M.

It is plain that Pre-' lent Harding is laboring toward an a Iju-tment of the case between France and Germany by means of an American commi-sien. By such roundabout methods must the mat ter of reduced armaments be tippreached. NOT VET THE report that President Harding intended te release twentj -eight su called pe'itii'iil pn.-enert en Chiistmas Day prove- te have been prematuie. He will paiden only tlnee, and they were net guilty of political offenses. He does net seem te have been moved by the agitation for a general pardon.

WAR AGAINST CHRISTMAS IS WASTED HUMAN EFFORT Here Are Days Which Prove the Inabil ity of Kealits te (Jie Men All They Need te I.he T EARNED men in this generation have - been mak ng many wonderful dis coveries. But their stiangest discovery i- the one that they ay least about. They are finding, te their great distress and bewilderment, that the sum of human happiness seems te decrease steadily as the accumulation of human knowledge is enlnrgcd. Science can de almost anything with material force. It can mee mountains and prolong life and give light and speed and color beyond measure te the ex ternal prece.-sr nf ex's'eiHP. It cm almost rai-e the de.id Hvt it cannot givi? peace te your heart. It cannot make you happy. It cannot even make you con tent. At bc-t it ptevides only thin imi tations of the thing which men need most. It is er interesting te watch the advances of sen nt. fie thinking ever the world. It mees forward with the effect of a stupendous roller, leveling fears and delu-iens nnd -upeistitiens. It broad ens the horizon by destroying many beautiful beliefs and the ruins of many beautiful beliefs raised ages age out of human trust and hope and need. One thing remain- immovable and indestructible in the path of realistic science, and that is the institution of Christmas, which might seem, if you i closed your eyes an 1 thought of it deeply, like a dim tower ith bells that ring faintly and yet are heard in the farthest places of the earth. "Myth!" say the realists. "A taga. Down with it for the glory of truth!" Yet the bells nnd the thing that is Christmas remain after all the artillery of the higher criti cism ha3 been worn out against it, after the tanks of the professeriate have lunged ever its very foundations. Or. v a vcar mank.rd tui'se- 'n the light that erne- from that piace and miracles happen. Men ii ag ti" .-.se'vcs up out of the'r ager.ri'ig vilter a,f ecu- ' diet and distinction, and bitterne-.- g'K- i out of them. In Russia tedc.v the little ' children are wiser than I.eiiine. In ' France the;, are wiser thai. Clemenceau. Fer they can see life and ;h" world i binutifully, vith gracieu.- an.l fa thf'.l hearts. They alone have net been de spuiied of the hopes that surely come 1 true if .'oil but l'.eep and c'nris!i and j honor them. They haven't been made blind by tee much of what v e call , knowledge. Other people stumble te the I great dicecy and knew for a 'lay that . liapp ne-- w only f tho-e who give ,t. The war en Chn-tmas will go en until we are e'.de in v.i.dem. It ii 'n;ng pres-ed particularly hard in Russia if half that we hear is true.

In the end men f science may a:".rm .a. hat many un-cientitic minds have begun te suspect that ultimate truth lannet ever be expre.-sed in words or cen.ined within the limit- of rea-eni-ai formula. A fnct is net necessarily a truth. It can be the reverse of true. Great truth, when it is feji. 1, will answer every demand and nee 1 of the human spa it. It will be beyond argu ment or question.

FALL'S RESIGNATION A LI- Cabinet member-, nhe resign go j x out of office te the great regiet of ' Presidint. Washing-en 1- a tactful I place. The President la always reported te be reluctant and sorrowful when one j of hi- department brads quits the work and gees home with a besom aflame with ' anger or a spirit i-mbittei.fi by hop.'-s defcired. The number of Cabin'-t officers who feel that they should have complete con trol of the President's mind is larger than you would suppose. Every man I who ever occupied the White Heuse has had his Bryan and his Daniels, his Fall or his Daugherty, Albert B. Fall, Secretary of the Intel ier, is .-aid te be ready te quit Mr. Harding's Cabinet. The report limy well be believed. Nene of Mr. Fall's dreams has come true. He was one of these who wanted te "cleun up Mexico" and he never could understand the hesitancy of the Administration te go te war for the whims of a few property holders in New Mexico, his own State. The most EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER recent achievement of the Interior Department was the new notorious Bur Hum bill. Thin hill, presented In Con gress at the suggestion of Mr. Fall and described at "an Administration mean tire," theuRh Mr. Harding seems te have known little, If anything, about It, would have led the Governmont te the lefral betrayal and despoliation of the Pueblo Indians. Thu Pueblos aie in New Mexico. They live under treaties thnt have been made and renewed mid honored ever since the days of the first conquerors. Lincoln, Roosevelt nnd many ether Presidents honored them In turn and paid eloquent tributes te their culture, their art and their fine system of peaceful internnl government. They are the ardent cus todian of all that remains alive from the ancient civilization thnt preceded us en thi- continent. Seme white men wanted their land and their water rights, and, but for an accident, the Bursuin bill would hpve virtually wiped them out. Incidentally, it would have involved the Government of the United States in something very much like dishonorable trickery. The Hursuni bill has been held up for further consideration in the Senate. It is noticeable that Mr. Harding himself has manifested a desire te knew mere about it. AX EDUCATIONAL POLICY "j'T DOES net yet appear what is hehmd the inquiry into educational appro priations instituted by the Governor Gevernor Governer e'ec!.
