A Scientific Transit Plan

DTRECTOR a. MERRITT TAYLOR'S sur
~ vey and solution of Philadelphias tran
sit problems is attracting universal attention
The Electric Journal has just given vivid
analysis of it's scope. Philadelphians will be
grateful that the subject has been studied by
scientific methods, from the standpoint of the
municipality rather than of the operating
company and with the object of serving the
future possible development of the city and
suburbs.
If the inevitable conclusions from the sur
vey are carried out, the traction company
must ultimately benefit as much as the COM
munity. The best interests of the stock
holders of public service corporation depend
upon enlightened and faithful service to the
public. Every citizen should make himself

Pinchot Should Retire

DGNCHOT as a picturesque and debonair
i gentleman may interest people whose
heaviest intellectual efforts have been con-
fined to serial fiction, but Pinchot as states
man is only humoresque. Pennsylvania can
not regard him seriously a candidate
But, unfortunately. there are enough whim-
sical citizens IN the population who may vote
for him-as an innocuous way out of their
dilemma-to make the election Of Penrose
possible. Nothing is so important to the
Commonwealth and the nation as the defeat
of Penrose. Unless Pinchot is the vertable
Don Quixote of modern life. he will realize
that chivalry, patriotism and humanitarian
ism dictate his immediate retirement from
the campaign.

1t is altogether human TO admire the effort
rather than the ambition. For, when the
ambition is attained, admiration ceases; that

HUM OF HUMAN CITIES

Only few days ago Philadelphia made
the acquaintance of the Remedial Loan
Company, an organization lending money ION
character" to the temporarily needy. Now
comes news of a venture in Massachusetts
that combines this excellent idea with a
savings organization among the workers
themselves and the administration of the
whole by the men making the deposits.
A pamphlet just issued by the Russell
Sage Foundation gives an account of this
industrial credit union, which Is distn-
guished in two ways. 1t is managed by the
employees themselves without a suspicion of
paternalism, and loans are made with no
other security than the borrowers honesty
as estimated by his associates.
The plan has heen tried out with entire
success among Jewish farmers in New York
New Jersey, Connecticut and Massachusetts,
organized by a real estate firm under the
States banking laws has now membership
of 200 and accumulated assets of $4,000.
The union. which is adapted from the plan
of the European and Canadian cooperative
peoples bank, assumes that the need for
small loans among wage-earners is a symp-
tom OF an underlying need of better savings
facilities. The hours for deposit of savings
therefore, are made TO conform to the wage
earners convenience, the officers and COM
mittees serve gratuitously, i'm order that
without overhead expenses the loans can be
made at low rates, while the near location
of the agency is a constant reminder to the
wage-earne to deposit an extra dollar, so
cents or quarter that might otherwise be
squandered,
The plan in its execution banishes the
loan shark. as testified by the treasurer of
the credit union formed by the employees of
the American Express Company in Boston.
It Is an association of men and not of capi-
tai, each member having but one vote, and
the shares issued are in such small denOmI-
nations TO be within the means of the
humblest. Honesty and industry are the
only qualifications for membership. That II
is a constant spur to the cultivation of these
sterling virtues is shown by the last annual
reports of "a credit unions published by The
Bank Commissioner of Massachusetts, Their
assets are sls5l5l, an increase of s91 OH
over the previous year and their member
ship is 1923. The total receipts last wear
were S3s4rs94, total loans sl4674O.

Conscience Makes Political Divide

THERE are Penrose and anti-Penrose Re-
Il 1publicans, Penrose and anti Penrose DEM
ocrats, Penrose and anti Penrose business
men, Penrose and anti -Penrose lawyers, Pen
rose and anti Penrose protectionists 'enrose
and anti-Penrose this that and tn, other.
But there are no anti Penrose liquor men,
saloon loafers or tax-eatinE ward heelers
The great divide is made by conscience.
How many men are supporting Penrose who
have said: Before God and my conscience
where do stand? When voter gets out OF
the haze Of party subterfuge and stands
alone in the fierce white light of his moral
convictions, he can no more align himself
with Boies Penrose than he could with Tweed.
Penrose has outraged the institutions that
clear thinking and riRht-feeling men rever-
ence. Honorable and righteous instincts are
first debased and then betrayed by associa-
tion with his leadership. What measure for
the alienation of mems burdens, for the cor
rection Of lifes injustices, for fair chance
on behalf of little children, was not frus-
trated at Harrisburg by Penrose's taX-eating
minons? What great dstinterested cause
has Penrose ever championed with passionate
devotion? What has he brought to the Re-
publican party but dishonor, disunion and
defeat?

Criticism of journalistic Fairness

CARCASM easily lends itself to the uses Of
- oratory, and once in a while some public
speaker who probably knows better yields 70
the temptation Of rounding of an eloquent
period with a categorical reference to the
careful, conscientious malefaction" Of the
newspapers in respect 10 the war news.
The newspapers, with a few exceptions
have tried to educate the public in the just
valuation OF dispatches from Europe; and
they make plain the sources of all their news
A rhetorical suggestion that they omit the
war news altogether would doubtless waksn
applause but It Is dreadful 10 think Of the
outcry that would follow its acceptance!

More Precious Than Hearts Blood

MEN know the bestiality and insanity Of
1Nl war, but they know It not truly or so
deeply as the women of the world. Do women
take part in war? Let Olive Schreiner an
swer:
It Is especially in the domain Of that
we, the bearers OF mems bodies. who supply
its most valuable munition who, not amid
the camor and ardor OF battle, but singly
and alone, with a three-in- the-morning
courage, shed our blood and face death that
the battlefield might have its food. a food
more precious TO US than hearts blood;
1t is we especially who, in the domain of
war, have our word TO say, word
can say for us. It is our intention to enter
into the domain of and to labor there
till in the course Of generations we have
extlnguished 1t.
Not on the battlefield will this victory be
won. declares the author Of Woman and
Labor" She believes that war will pass
when intellectual culture and activity have
made possible to the female an equal share
in the control and governance of modern
national life; it will probably not pass away
much sooner; its extinction will not be de-
layed much longer"

OvertAking Penrose

From the New York Evening Mail.
Two months ago the defeat OF Boies Penrose
in Pennsylvania seemed impossible. Today it
seems probable. For the first time in the
campaign there are reliable prophecies that he
will be defeated.
The change in Penroses fortunes is due to
the discovery that the liquor interests had been
assessed by the Penrose machine In the old
time campaign way. The revelation resulted
in an anti saloon movement OF Statewide pro-
portions and increasing intensity. 1t is the
big issue of the campaign and is undoubtedly
cutting deep into the Penrose strength.
