Suffrage statesmanship

THToMEN are amply proving that they
w can deal with large questions In a large
way. The National American Woman suf-
Krage Association has decided to petition
congress against State denial OF the rights
Of citizens OF the United States who vote
for members OF Congress, Presidential Elec-
tors and United States Senators In the states
where they reside. by making Federal laws
in pursuance Of that clause Of the Four
teenth Amendment OF the Federal Consti-
tuition which says that "no State shall make
or enforce any law which shall abridge the
privilege or immunities OF citizens OF the
United States"
In other words. the women OF America
insist upon having the rights 10 which they
are entitled under the Constitution. They
are not beggins as suppliants. but claiming
es citizens. Undoubtedly the Pennsylvania
State Convention, about to open in Scranton,
NiH take up the question in the same
pasquivoeal manner. II women continue
e base their claims upon their indubitabls
cltizenahip. spurning patronage and eschew-
ing sentiment. they are bound to win their
ease.

Philadelphia, November IS,
Bobs" and America

From the Boston Transcript.
There is parallellsm between Lord Roberts
later career and that of most American military
men. Here today, as in Great Britain before
the war; the trouble Is with the audience, not
with the lecturer The audience is tolerably
prosperous; few OF its members have any per-
sOna recollection of a war deserving to be
called great; most possessed by the old
fashioned belief which Lord Rosebery has de-
scribed the Anglo-SaXon conviction that the
race can "mudde through crises" as fast as
they arise. When Congressman Gardner seeks
10 have a military and naval stock-taIng he Is
sneered at from the White House. When Cen
eral Wood reminds his hearers that war comes
like an avalanche not like a glacier, he gets
but scanty attention Yet in preparedness the
United States is far behind that Great Britain
which Lord Roberts adjured to make itself
ready for the fray that has come.

The housing law was approved by the
Governor July 22 1918
TO put it into effect requires an appropria-
ton by Councils This appropriation Coun-
ellis has consistently and persistently refused
TO make
On April 16 in desperation. 25 civic bet
terment organizations appealed to Councils
TO take action but without result
once more the vitalization OF the housing
law will come before Councils Every ten
ant in Philadelphia has supreme interest
in It's action. Particularly must poorer peo-
pie, who live in crowded sections, call on
their representatives to be true to them and
their interests
The law is being nullified by starvation.
The right of women and children to clean
surroundings is being taken from them.
They are being deprived of ordinary health
guarantees. They are assailed in the very
citadel of their hopes, their homes.
The best politics Councils play in this |
,ase is to play straight. A political organ
zation that alienates the tenants in Phila- |
ielphia is an organization certain to be repu-
lated utterly.
Councils will be watched.

Commuters Must Smash the Program

FTHERE is an implied contract between
u every Philadelphia who has built a
home In the suburbs and the railroad on
which he depends for transportation. Sub
urban realty values depend on the COM
inuting rate. Radically to raise that rate
amounts @ practical con1scation of part of
She capital of the commuter
Tho Interstate Commerce Commission
splitting hairs in Washington, has no Iuris-
dictlon over Communication rates between
Philadelphia and adjoining suburbs in Penn
Hylvania, except by an implication so refined
that 1t becomes usurpation pure and simple.
This colossus of obstruction has made itself
ridiculous by it's sophistical decisions and
ITS inability to countenance elementary pre-
Foquisites to the resumption of prosperity
But this does not excuse the railroads
They have jumped at the Commissions
Recommendation that life in the suburbs be
penalized. They have taken this Government
creature at it's word, although there is prob
ably not capable railroad man i'm the
country who believes in the argument which
fhe Commission advanced.
There is one way out and 1t behooves civic
Bodies representing commuters to take It,
They should present their case to the Public
Service Commission, which is clothed with
full authority finally to prevent this unwar-
Fanted tax; for tax 1t is, and levied without
the consent of those embarrassed by it. At
least.let Pennsylvania find out whether it Is
in control Of its own immediate intrastate
traffic or is subject there also to the
encroachments Of Federal control.
Public opinion has softened toward the
railroads. They are entitled to and must /
have fair treatment. It seems to be the
Interstate Commerce Commission only that |
Is still inspired by the exaggerated radical
ism OF few years ago. Yet the railroads
may make themselves as we'll as the Com
mission odious by being too enthusiastic and |
energetic in accepting the Commissions |
advice. The commuter is in a special class
He pays his way and returns a profit, di-
rectIy and indirectly. The roads must play |
fair with the public whether the Commission
plays fair with them or not and 100 per cent.
Increases are not fair.
The burden is on the roads to prove that
their communication service does not yield an
adequate profit. Unless they can establish
that fact, and until they establish it, every
legal device should be exhausted to prevent
the imposition of the proposed new tariffs

Organizing Philadelphia,s Charity
'Tis true, 'tis pity;
And pity 'tis tits true.

THE charities movement inaugurated this
i week through the efforts of the leading
citizens of Philadelphia is one of rare
promise.
The initial meeting voiced something of
this sentiment:
There is more need for charity than be-
fore. There Is no city in the civilized world
ready to respond as Philadelphia You will find
hospitals and various other charities within
squares of each other In this city. and COM
mttees OF every sort. but what must do Is
to get all these various committees to come to-
gether and form one central organization that
will do the work that must be done.
The object is apparently twofold: to stir
Philadelphia to even greater charitable. Civ
ing than in It's worthy past. and to CO.
ordinate the work of the various organiza-
tions so that the reproach may not be fung
at charity in Philadelphia, has been done
elsewhere OF spending 75 cents of every
dollar collected In getting the remaining
quarter to the sufferer
The means to be chosen is not yet clear.
The work may extend far into the disposal
of funds collected. It may do simply what
the united charitable organizations Of New
Orleans have accomplished by collecting all
contributions through a single body. The
field for better organization is large the
work that may be accomplished is of enor-
rnous

Smaller Councils, But Bigger CounseIors


MO BUSINESS can be expeditiously and
IN effectively administered by board of
directors that has the form and size Of a
Parliament. A city is only cooperative
business enterprise. in which the property of
the citizens is the capital. while the taxes
are subscribed operating expenses, for the
purpose OF making their original investment
more valuable.
The small Council idea, now being exten-
elyely worked throughout the country, is in
harmony with the new conception of a
municipality as business entity When the
directors are fewer in number they can be
chosen for their experience and capacity,
regardless OF the ward in which they may
reside. With the reduction in size a higher
type OF man is required. and is usually
obtainable. Log rolling becomes a thing of
the past, because each member of Council
represents the city as a whole and is respon-
sible to the whole of the city 1t Injuries
rather than helps him to concentrate on one
locality at the expense of others.
