An Unique Housing Situation.

Philadelphia's unique housing situa
ton does not blind her social workers
to the existence of grave conditions.
1t is true that more than a million per-
sons live in small houses, scattered
over a wide area, that the factories are
well distributed, the transportation
Hines well placed. and that there are
relatively few tenements. On the
other hand. the cellar is oft en- used for
living purposes in non-tenenent hous-
es, and to some extent there is over
crowding both of buildings and occu-
pants The surface drainage also is
criticized, and so is the water supply.

| for the interests of the rum trust.
| Admitting all the charges of fraut
in the name of the law, and all the
| other charges against it, which have
been built up by the paid agents OF
| the liquor interests. to be true, we are
still ready to claim and able to show
that no other system of so-called
regulation of liquor selling has been
less productive of fraud and cheating
and deception, while at the same time
they have brought about immeasur-
ably more crime and suffering and
immortality than it is possible to con-
ceive under the most deplorable en-
forcement of prohibitory law.
Mr. Gardner says the law has been
violated since the day of the begin
ming and that he knows of saloons that
have been conducted in the same
premises and under the same manages
ment for the past % years. Further
says that he has taught his sons the
evils of intemperance and that they
are now teetotallers. Mr.. Gardner
seems to rest in the self -satisfaction
that he has saved his sons from pur-
gatory but is perfectly willing for
other mems sons. having not the ad
vantage of his wise instruction and
preeepts, to go to perdition as rapidly
as they may. Otherwise as law
abiding citizen Gas far as any other
law is concerned) he would have taken
some action to bring about the closing
of these saloons of which he has
known for % years.
We should hardly expect to hear Mr..
Gardner confess that he had known
for Is years or five years or even five
days that one of his neighbors was
giving slow poison to his wife. We
imagine that Mr. Gardner would be
one of the first to hasten to the au-
thorities to bring about an end to
such violation of the law. Yet Mr..
Gardner frankly admits that he has
which were. contrary to the laws of
his State, poisoning the morals of his
community. bringing disgrace to his
people and impoverishing the homes OF
those who should be recipients of his
wiser council and loyal protection
Knowing of these constant violations
| of law and attempting no support. he
brazenly abuses the law for what ii
cannot automatically accomplish.
Mr.. Gardner says that he is further
opposed to prohibitory law because a
police regulation has no place in the
organic law of the State. In the same
breath he declares for local option
and local recognition of an evil which
he recognizes and has taught his sons
against, but which he would permit in
any section of the State which unfor-
tunately does not recognize the null
danger. to indulge in to any limit.
Mr.. Gardner worries about the per
nicious specific effect of violation OF
statutary law but he does not worry
about his own ground in opposition to
the law in which he has been aiding
violation for 25 years. And he would
nave us believe that there would be
no violation under any other method
OF controlling the liquor business.
In closing, Mr.. Gardner says:

We are glad to notice that Mr..
Gardner recognizes that the people
can be trusted. even though he is
abusing with every breath the product
of an institution which they estab-
lished half century ago. The people
were trusted at that time with the
building of a law which has stood all
these years and has been confirmed
by them by being placed in the con-
stitution. And Mr.. Gardner may rest
assured that on September II. they
may be trusted to so overwhelmingly
reaffirm the prohibitory amendment
that he and his liquor trust allies will
be forever relegated to the back
