within two months It will surprise every one
familiar with their previous careers. The
refusal OF the Senate caucus to make party
issue Of n cloture resolution and its decision
to kill the matter by putting It up to the
whole Senate was patriotic and statesman
like. But the very reasons which impelled
the caucus TO turn the plan down are those
which will separate the majority Senators
into fighting factions. The Senators with
positive convictions on national defense and
the ways to rehabilitate the merchant ma
rine refused to agree to surrender their
Judgment TO the orders Of any caucus. They
are determined to be free to fight the Presi-
dents program II they think best.
Whatever else happens the country Is ex-
pecting the President to use all his power
to persuade Congress to adopt an intelli-
gent national defense program, even IL he
has to split his party by doing it, and TO for
felt whatevt.' chances he may have for
election. And Il expects Congress to pro-
vide enough revenue to meet the new as
well as the old expenses. The Republicans
are Ekely to cooperate on the great ma
tional and non-partsan work OF prepared
ness. But when II comes TO revenue leRisla-
ton, they will let the Democrats continue
their bunicring policy and prove once more
their financial incfticency.

A GOOD BEGINNING

! THREE Of the five appointments to the
i Cabinet of the Mayor-elcct are non-polltl-
cal in character. Considering the result OF
the recent campaign, which was absolutely an
Organization victory, Mr.. Smith must be
commended for having so far ignored political
workers and secured the services of men
whose chief recommendations are their ability
to do things and do them well.
II is. on the whole a better Cabinet than
might reasonably have been expected. There
Is, for instance, assurance of expert direction
of port development, in which project millions
Of the public money will be expended and on
the success of which will depend the future
prosperity of the city. So. too, in the Depart
mcnt Of Public Works there must be every
confidence in the efficiency and good purpose
of Mr.. Datesman. In these two departments
where political appointments would have been
q calamity, Mr.. Smith has met the situation
satisfactorily by the appointment of capable
men.
II is clear, nevertheless, that the Cabinet
would be strengthened greatly by the ad-
dition Of Mr.. Taylor as Director of City
Transit. His appointment would Mt once
end any opposition to the huge transit loan
1t is well known that Mr.. Taylor is 10th
to accept further service, but the Mayor
elect, in spite Of previous announcements
could do nothing better than tender him
the appointment and depend on public senti-
ment to compel its acceptance.
The Cabinet is not by any means the
strongest the city has ever had, as Con-
gresham Ware AYERS. but It is certainly one
of the best Cabinets ever offered the city
under Organization rule. There is much
cause for graduation in that, the more so
because the next four years will form one
of the most important periods in the de-
velopment OF the city.

WHAT is EXPECTED OF CONGRESS

THREE great questions are to be consid-
Il cred by the Congress which meets in
Washington today. They are preparedness
for national defense, the raising OF revenue
TO meet the cost OF the additional expense
OF the preparedness program. together with
the ordinary expenses of Government, and,
last, plan for rehabiltating the merchant
marine by Government money
The Democracy, however, Is not agreed on
any one OF these questions. The men well
srounded In political economy are opposed
10 The merchant shipbullding program. There
are almost many views on the best way
Of Increasing the revenues as there are
Democrats in both branches OF Congress,
and the opposition to an increase in the
army and navy is SO strong among the mem-
beFs OF the party in power that there Is no
hone Of doiag ans thing without the assist
anee of the Republicans.
President Wilson succeeded in holding the
last Congress together and in driving his
program through largely because he had a
program and because his party. newly
trusted wlt responsibility, was too dazed

GOOD LUCK TO THE DREAMERs

1NHE Ford expedition is chimerical; in the
i light of public knowledge 1t even borders
on stupidity. Yet sympathy with the aims
of that white party of 2ealots is we'll nigh
universal If by some miracle its dream
might be translated into achievement those
who ridicule would be first and most loyal
in shouting their hosannas. But the miracles
now being performed are the miracles Of
the fight, the prodigies of heroism which
have become daily occurrences on a dozen
different fronts the wonders of the airmen,
the surgeons, the commissary and the NUM-
ton n-providers at home.
1t is a double miracle which is required
of the Ford party, for its object must be
certainly not the achievement Of peace only,
but the achievement of that sort of peace
which would free Europe forever from the
military heel. Any other kind of peace
would be a tragedy more terrible than the
conflict which RACES.
To Europe, torn by battle and burden Mr..
Ford is likely to appear more as the per-
nicious meddler than as a prophet of peace.
If will be fortunate, indeed, if his voyage
does not bring rldicule down on his own
country. That heretofore has been Mr..
Bryan's peculiar privilege
But good luck to the crusader and may
he, his friends and all the newspaper men
get safely home again!

COMPETITION AND CHEAPER SHIPS

TT is not of Areat Importance at this time
Il whether the bid" of the League Island
Navy Yard for building a warship was only
an estimate or whether 1t was higher than
the bids of the private shipbuilders. as the
representative of n private company charges.
What is of Importance is the development
of the League Island yard until it can build
battleships as well they can be built any
where There some officials in Washing
ton who would like to have all the warships
built in Government yards; but that would
be as great n mistake having all the bat
tleships built in private yards 1t has usually
cost more for the Government to build a
an-of-war than the private corporations
have charged for constructing similar ves-
sells; but If it were not possible for the
Brooklyn Navy Yard to turn out a ship of
any kind, it is likely that all warships would
cost more than they do today.
SO long the Government can check off
bids by estimates from it's own working ship
builders it will profit by the competition be-
tween the public and private shipyards. No
better thing could happen to the shipbuilding
industry on the Delaware than the establish
ment of great rival plant at League Island.

PEACE OF MIND

NOBODY is quite sure when the "Do-your-
IN Christmas s-shopping-early" slogan began
to be POPULAR. By this time we are so fed
up with it that 1t has ceased to have any
effect whatever Sometimes we pass IL ab
sent -mindedly with an affirmative nod. Some
times we resent its urgency. Rarely do we
heed II.
If we are to do Christmas shopping at
all-ar.d wise Providence sees to II that
Just at this time of year we are suffused
with a desire to buy and are comfortably
disposed fnanclally-the chief reason for
buying early is that 1t will be done when
tits done The willing and hard-worked men
and women who sell TO us have a claim on
our solicitude which we seldom recognize,
at Chrisnmas or at any other time We are
not, as race, capable OF hurrying ourselves
because OF the certainty that II we do not a
wan, weary girl whom we do not know may
drag herself home at IL at night and be ex-
peeted back at work at s the next morning
We admit it is terrible when told OF II.
But we go on.
So Christmas shopping must be put on a
selfish basis. You will never have peace of
mind until you have conquered your shop
ping list. You viii not sleep o. nights until
Uncle Harry's speckled mufler is wrapped.
Counting today, there are II days Have you
thought OF the great-nieee of the unele's
sister-in-law?

THE SHOOTERS

THE tiff between Shooters and Councils
4 has been blown away in the wind of COM
mon sense. The Shooters know that New
Years Day just wouldn't be right and like
home without them, and they are going to
play.
Just why the city turns out on the night
of December 81 and crowds and jostles until
1t reaches a vantage point in the neighbor-
hood of City Hall is real municipal mys-
terry. The thrill of seeing the lights go out
and come again is not the real secret
The secret is more likely to be found in the
human sympathy which binds together all
those who come under the spell of Philadel-
phia. which has a character and a disposi-
tion of it's own.
For the same reason the city returns to
Broad street on the first day of the year and
watches the mummers. 1t is a tradition
with us that they are to be bright and fam
tastic and wonderful. So the city. while IL
conGratulates the Shooters on their good
sense, pats itself on the back little for its
good fortune.

Tom Daly's Column

IETE WE'RE waiting all last week-the
w Electrical Prosperity Week, you'll re-
member-for some one to call attention to
the fact that It was only 33 years ago that
Chestnut street was first electrically illumi-
mated. The Brush Electric Light Company
turned on the new glimmer at midnight of
october 23 1882, as a fitting inauguration of
the bicentennial of the city's founding. 1t
was matter Of frequent comment on the
street the next morning that It had been
possible to read a newspaper almost any
where on Chestnut street under the new
light Then, too. there is food for thought
and much moralizing in the further recol-
lection that only six years before that event
the great Centennial Exposition in Fair
mount Park was absolutely dark after night
fall because of the impossibilty Of adequately
lighting the buildings.

Hughes. Their true meaning is found in the
combination.
After graduation from the Columbia Law
School he passed the best examination in
the history of the New York bar, with a
rating of 997s, and entered the office of Wal
ter S. Carter, of whom he afterward became
the partner and then the son-in-law. For q
few years he withdrew from the firm and
taught law in Cornell University President
Schurman, of Cornell, has said of his lee
lures: Hughes would lecture for three hours,
always without note, citing perhaps hun
dred cases and quoting the opinion verbatim
1t is a matter of record, too that his pupils
did not cut his lectures. Nor should one
miss the human note amidst all this labor.
Apart from his regular hours Professor
Hughes gave up his own time, his own recre-
alton periods to help the less brilliant, to
coach the less proficient among his pupils
Students who marveled at his scholarship
were still able to profit by his friendship"
Whence the Justice Relaxes
Reserved he has been called all his life,
but "I am no wooden Indian" he has said
on occasion. "I hope" he once said that
if an autopsy is ever performed upon me
you will find something besides sawdust and
useful information" He has few intimates,
pacity for friendship, delights in story-tell-
ing, in good books and good music. His
principal relaXations are Dumas, Balzac,
golf, camping. European travel and noun
