A Magnificent Report

WHAT is the outstanding thing in Dl-
wv rector Cookies magnificent report? Is II
the Si.0Oo,OOO saved in 1914 over 1911? Is it
the s4.200,OOO that he expects to see saved
by the time his administration is over? Is
It the revolutionary introduction Of scientific
management into the business OF a city? Is
It dollars worth of street work for every
dollar expended7 Is It the considerable total
OF such small but significant things as
routing the mosquito through a campaign Of
education by motion pictures? Is it the stu
pendous fact that 1000 city employees a good
sized town in themselves, have had the
spending of S34,267,OOO in three years, and
have spent It at every point to the utmost
public advantage? Is it the realization that
all this has been done in the face Of that
condition which has shaped itself into a
Philadelphia proverb, the antagonism of
an unfriendly Councils?
No. the outstanding fact is no one of these
things. not even the fine total of them all.
1t is the assertion ringing through the whole
report of that new ideal of communal serv-
fee which the Blankenburg Administration
has brought to Philadelphia. Men like Di-
rector Cooke and his associates even down
to the last of that 1000. are doing a new
work in new spirit. They are working for
the common veal of the city. Militantly,
they are putting into their work something
of that purpose which animated the greatest
city Of all time. Athens, They are working
for the common good and achieving for them
selves and for every citizen some new benefit
Of civilized life.
What does the gang think today when it
reads that report? Is 1t struck with some
divine envy of such work? Or does anger
surge within it, and drive it forward to new
plans OF iobbery and fraud next fall?
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1915-07-12
Go Ahead and Win

THERE are two ways to go about getting
i the Republican National Convention. One
is TO sit complacently by and wait to see
whether Councils will let the Convention
Hall be built. The other is to go ahead and
invite the convention here The first course
means certain failure; the second means
probable success. 1t is, therefore, the course
which the Chamber of Commerce will
adopt.
Philadelphia is facing new era. The
time has past for business men to twirl
their thumbs while waiting for Councils to
perform its obvious duty. Now business men
are prepared to take the issue into their
own hands. to go ahead militantly, to force
Councils hand and compel that body to fall
into line.
The Chamber of Commerce need have no
fear. Councils meets in September It will
have before 1t the specific question: Shall
Philadelphia have the Republican National
Convention? Its vote on the convention hall
project will be its answer. There is not
enough spine in Common and Select Coun-
ellis together to turn the program down.
The way to get the convention is to get
the convention hall, and the way to get
the convention hall is to make it the test
Of getting the convention.
