CITY OFFICERS IN POLITICS

Certain reform elements IN Philadelphia seem
70 mink that reform was somewhat overdone
at the recent extra session OF the Pennsylvania
Legislature. One measure in particular, rigidly
restricting the political activities of city en-
ployes. has been criticised as handicapping the
Weaver administration and throwing the doors
open again TO the election frauds TO which the
Durham-McNichol organization owed its su-
premacy. The act complained OF is, indeed
drastic. IL eliminates the city oficeholder a
political worker, and in so doing effects ire
mendous revolution in Philadelphia customs and
practices. No officer, clerk or employee of the
city is 10 be permitted TO attend any convention,
10 serve as a member OF any committee of any
political party or 10 take any active part in the
management Of political campaign. Except
10 cast his vote, no such employee is to be al
lowed within fifty feet OF any polling place from
an hour before the polls open until the election
officers have completed the count This prohibi-
ton applies 10 the police. except that police
man may enter polling place ito arrest any
person. other than election officer guilty of
treason. felony or breach OF the peace; 10 arrest
IAN election officer on the warrant Of court of
record. or. when requested TO do so by an cleo
"fiop officer. for the purpose of preserving
order"
Hitherto The police have dominated Philadel-
pbia elections. Their power was exercised in
every WAX 10 sustain the Republican machine
which they were forced 10 serve. and their will
was usually law at the polls. Without the eff
feetive use Of the police force a weapon. the
reform victory OF last November would prob
ably never have been accomplished. The Police
Department cleared the assessors lists of fifty
thousand or sixty thousand bogus names and
drove the repeaters out OF business. Fear is
now expressed by some timid reformers that
with the iron hand OF the Commissioner of Pub
lie SAFETY lifted and his agents barred from the
polls The machine forces will be encouraged Ia
renew their election stealing tactics. II seems

The civil war in France which Count Albert
de Nun declared to exist the other day and
which others have declared would soon pre-
vail and would be justifia bIe has not vet come
into being, and does not now seem likely to
do so. There have been some ~deplorabIe Incl
dents marked with violence and attempts ar
rioung, in Paris and in some provincial cities
and towns. but these have been even further
removed from the proportions of civil war than
were the disturbances over the suppression of
unauthorized congregations and much further
than the miners strikes and other industrial
ana social disturbances of recent years They
have not, at their worst. seriously disturbed or
menaced public order and there appears TO be
no reason whatever for expecting their renewal
or maintenance. They were not authorized nor
sanctioned 10y the Roman Catholic Church as
a body, but were the work of irresponsible in
dlviduals. and We're inspired partly by ignor-
aEce or misapprehensOn and partly by that
mlschievous impulse. which has been potent in
many other cases. which moves some people to
make causeless trouble just for the sake of max
ing trouble.
The trouble was over the taking of inventories
or Church property. That procedure was or
deTeG 10y The law separating church and state
ana WAS obviously necessary and as much to
the interest Of the church itself as to that of

AN IMPRESSIVE LESSON.

The death of John A. Mccall must inevita-
bly, excite a general feeling Of profound regret
that a career which exemplifed many adm1ra-
BILE qualities should have closed in gloom and
discredit. It IS Just and right to remember that
in his management Of the great company which
he resuscitated and rebuilt on solid founda-
ton of prosperity Mr.. Mccall was not actuated
by sordid ambitions. He did not seek personal
ACKNOWLEDGMENT All his strength Of purpose
and all his ability were devoted to its interests.
as he had come to understand them, and when
he had been officially and popularity arraigned
for applying immoral and mischievous methods
TO secure the company against ignorant or ma
licious legislation he voluntarily restored to It's
treasury out of fortune not believed to be
large a considerable part of the money which
those methods had cost A few days before his
death. when he knew that he could not survive,
he deliberately asserted his own integrity. 1t is
impossible to doubt the sincerity Of that per-
sonal Judgment and the sincerity of it is ex-
ceedingly impressive, for it reveals the degree
TO which an honest mind had been warped and
betrayed into false views of duty or privilege.
1t is an undeniable fact that Mr.. Mccall was
long an exponent, and at last one Of the victims,
of vicious system, which became established
through slow gradatons, and which, therefore,
never fully impressed its ugly features on those
who grew up with it He would probably have
acknowledged that II was not 1ntrlnslcalIy Deau-
tiful and excellent, but he would have main
tanned that it was necessary. But the melan-
choly reflection which the whole history of the
cases In which 1t was employed suggests Is that
1t was not necessary. The men who made use
Of 1t were deceived by the traditions which
some at least of them inherited, by the environ
ment in which they existed and by the instrl-
ments they used. The exposure Of wrongdoing
In the insurance world has been accompanied
by tragedies which 1t is painful to contemplate,
but it is not unreasonable 70 hope that the
truths which they illustrate have been effect
ually taught.

the state Tn nrtvate life and business life,
whenever property passes from tne possession
and control of one party to anotner, an 1hVeh-
tory is made of It. That is desirable Tor the
sake OF both parties. Precisely tnat Is wna'
has just been done in the case or the churches.
By virtue of the separation law the vaiuaoie
works of art and other property in the churches
pass from the old control or state-aioeo
churches to new organizatons-"assoclat
cultuelles." Therefore, 1t is necessary that IN
yentories shall be made. There Is or course
no confiscatton Of property, nor any dlsturDance
Of 1t, but simply a cataloguing or II, Tor pur-
poses of formal record. This Is recognized ny
the major part Of the Church, and Is acQu-
esced In as fitting and proper. Indeed there
are those in the Church who would prooaoiy
have suggested and requested it If the govern
ment had not taken the initiative. But a few
probably imagined there was to be conhscaton
and few more saw chance to make trouble,
and so there were q few broken heads ana
splintered doors and windows.
Civil war there was not, and 1t Is safe to as
sumo there will be none. The great mass OF
Frenchmen In and out Of the Roman Cathohc
Church will not be stampeded by any cry SO
baseless and artificial as that which was raised
against the taking of the inventories. What the
Chamber Of Deputies thinks Of the matter was
plainly shown by an incident which occurred
at the very climax of the disturbances. Word
came that there was rioting at some OF the
Paris churches. 1t was during discussion OF
the inventory law. Some Of the Clerical Depu-
ties cried out while you are talking blood Is
being shed at Ste. C1otilde!" and great excite
nent arose in the Chamber. few minutes
later a resolution was proposed approving the
application of the inventory law and express
ing confidence in the government, and it was
adopted by a vote of S4S to 166. The law itself
had been enacted by a vote of only BAL. so
that the majority of the Chamber in support
of the governments free church, free state"
policy is not only unimpaired. but actually
stronger than it was. In the face Of such con-
ditions talk Of civil war is vain The policy es-
tablished by NJ. Waldeck-Rousseau and devel-
oped by Dr. Combes will be completely executed
nv NJ Rouyier without serious trouble, and 1t
will be for the great good of all France.
