Philadelphia's gas works are now
operated by the United Gas Improve
ment Company under an agreement
which expires in 1926, and provides
that in the meantime the company
shall pay the city about S31 ,000, 600
On the expiration of the lease the
gas works are to revert to their orig
inal operators, the citizens of Phila-
delphia.
The United Gas improvement Com
pany recommended itself to the con

Of the eminent responsibility Of its
membership. That responsibility did
not prevent it, however, from begin

company. Accordingly, the officers

ownership of the gas works after
that time, instead of their reversion
TO the city
The whole history of popular gov
ernment in America offers no other
such spectacle great city supinely
in the hands Of thieves; a great mu-
nicipal government pandering to the
greed of men utterly without shame;
the open violation of trust inyolv-
ing millions of the peoples property.
Yet there is no present ground to
hope that this is the end.
AS there is no election in sight,
Republican papers like the the Press
dare oppose this particular steal
Under the leadership of other papers
like the Ledger, the Record, and the
North American, the people-led by
churchmen, bankers, merchants, and
teachers-are planning to march to-

But all this is merely a single in
stance. Even If the people are able

no good reason to think they can
they will still endure continuously

Il cannot speak for this diocese, but
know that in my diocese in New York
1t is not SO. The poor there are always
welcome just as much as the rich. We
want them to come into our churches,
and when they do we try to make them
feel at home.
The Roman Catholic Church. II seems
to me, has solved the problem more than
we have, by holding 50 many different
services on Sundays. This gives the poor.

Commenting on the Indignation among
citizens over the proposed pawning OF
the city gas works, the bishop said:
1.-The political corruption here seems
to have reached that stage where the
public has been tried beyond endur-
anee The real solution lies in the bal
lot. Yes, I know you will say that the
decent citizens have failed again and
again in that direction. But they must
