1t has been demonstrated that the Delaware
River affords one of the best harbors on the

miles of smooth water between us and the
salt seas. Every shipping man understands
what this means. It gives him breathing
time between his battles with the ocean
tempests and the hustle and hurry and stress
of discharging his cargo.
Seventeen lines of transoceanic steamships
already touch here, and If we were prepared
to accommodate more they would come We

We have belt line of railroad for the trans
shipment of freight from the interior to
ocean going vessels, and we have 81 miles of
water front, 20 miles on the Delaware and II
miles on the Schuyl<ill.
Therefore, when you read that the Della
ware channel is not deep enough to accom-
modate big ships, forget it, What Hamburg
has done Philadelphia can surpass. Do not
let anybody convince you that we have not

TETHETHER Philadelphia shall remain a
w city of homes or a community of three
decker" flats. depends upon the quick and sat
isfactory solution of the transit problem The
city is noted throughout the country for its
modest homes for workingmen. At the meet
ing of the National Housing Council in Bos-
ton 1t was held up a model for other cities.
But the small house requires space to hold
1t. Population can be packed into a small
area if it lives in layers, and the transit
problem is then comparatively simple. The
whole of Philadelphia could be crowded into
the district south of Market street between
the two rivers. But Philadelphians do not
wish to live in that way. The city is spread
ing itself rapidly, and every new row of houses
put UP in the outlying regions carries the
worSingman farther from his Job. But fast
cars can annihilate distance: and when com
bined with free transfers. can make every
section of the city equally desirable, far
as proximity to work and economy of travel
are concerned.
The character OF the city. as well as the
comfort of it's people, is involved in the
transit problem.

Councils Futile Grab at the Contracts

THERE was nothing else for City Solicitor
i Ryan to do than to declare the attempt of
Councils to override the charter as futile
and imperative" The charter deprived
Councils of its ancient right to supervise the
awarding of contracts. 1t empowered the
executive branch OF the municipality to have
charge OF all public work because it Is the
better way, both in theory and In practice,
It's purpose was to enable the city to elect
reform Mayor who should have power to pre-
vent a repetition Of the ancient abuses.
Mr., Ryan is too good lawyer TO attempt
to wrest the charter from its plain and
obvious intent. 1t is fortunate, indeed, at
this time, that the city has Mayor who can
be trusted and a group of department. heads
in sympathy with his purposes to give to the
city an honest and efficient administration.
The INSCRIPTIONS attempt of Councils to dis
regard the plain provisions of the law in
order that the members might get their
hands on the contracts in the interest OF the
machine Is proof that the alsrtness OF the
gang must be met by the alertness OF the
good citizens If we are not to lose what has
already been gained.

Playing With a Crisis

VIZ ITH wheat pouring out of our ports and
w the shipping trade demoraiized by an
unprecedented demand for ships to carry It,
the Administration seriously announces that
It will begin an investigation to discover II
the high prices are not due to Corner and
violation of the antitrust laws In this way
1t will be quite possible to delay putting the
lock on the stable until the horse is gone, at
which time, no doubt, with much noise and
ringing Of bells, few scapegoats will be
hailed into court and subjected to much en-
barrassment before acquittal Our Govern
ment seldom acts to prevent an outrage; 1t
prefers to inf1ict punishment afterward.
VIII anybody be fooled2 Hardly for 1t is
too well known that washington has chills
in the spine at the mere thought of doing
anything the wheat growers may not like,
and 1t is jumping at this farcicnl investiga-
tion in the manner of a gold-brick artist
after his victim. The poor want their bread
at q reasonable price in year when there
has been a bumper crop. They cannot eat
platitudes. A little nonsense now and then
is relished by the best of men, but not as
pabulum for the upkeep of the physical being
Why waste money for an investigation?
Everybody knows what the trouble is. The
export record is convincing. Apparently
Washington has theory that Chicago spec
ulators planned the war to boost the wheat
market. The war has boosted 1t, and is
boosting It, but our defense is very simple.
We have merely to conserve our own sup
ply by prohibiting the export of any except
our surplus supply. So simple and sure a
remedy has been resorted to by other nations
not in half so serious dilemma as the
United States. But politics is subordinate to
the public interest just now in other coun-
tries. Their people, therefore, will be pro-
tected in their food supplies, even If the peo-
pie of the United States have to put up with
starvation prices in the meantime.

Not the Road to Peace, But to Folly

INoL 1hOau W CdCCs Dul ~ IOl1Y
ON THE eve of the anniversary OF the
~ birth of Benjamin Franklin. who was
thankful that man was reasoning creature
because he could find reason for anything
that he wanted to think, Mr. Bryan told the
Poor Richard Club that the European war
had exploded for all time "the theory that
battleships and huge fortifcations conserve
peace" Other less prominent men have made
the same statement, But only two or three
years ago some of them were looking in dis
may at the helplessness of Turkey when con-
fronted by the allied Balkan States. They
knew that If the Turkish navy had existed
in fact, instead of merely in name, the Turk
could have defed the Balkan Powers and
could once more have demonstrated that in
controvertibe proposition that the destinies
of nations are decided by their might upon
the sea.
Turkey was not prepared for war, yet war
came. Germany and France and Russia were
prepared for war last summer, yet war came;
and England's preparation for land cam
paign was woefully inadequate, but her un-
preparedness did not hasten nor delay the
great conflict. There Is no one so rash as to
maintain that the great civil conflict in the
United States half century ago was caused
either by military preparedness or unpre-
paredness.
The causes of war have little relation to
Mr.. Bryan's 1battleships and huge fortihca-
tions." They lie in the ambitions of nations
when they are international; and in the de-
termination of large groups of men to live
under conditions agreeable to them, when
the wars are revolutionary. 1t would be the
extreme of folly for any nation, in the
present state of civilization, to adopt Mr.
Bryan's idealstic dream, disband its army
break up its navy and trust to luck
