Beginning of New Era in Municipal
Progress

! TNHE Public Service Commission, acting in
l. the best interests of the people of Phils-
dciphla, promptly and unanimously has
Issued the necessary certificates OF public
convenience preliminary to the beginning Of
actual construction work
Tho commission refused to countenance
tho protest that Philadelphia was a collec-
ton OF villages. destined to remain a collec-
tion Of villages for all time. and likewise
ignored other objections as puerile in char
aoter and as reckless In statements Of fact
The project has passed through the tor
tuous lane of red tape There remains no
barrier except taxpayers suit, which
brings forth legal objections which Director
Taylor anticipated. and which, there is every
reason to believe, are without substantial
merit. Certainly the best LAWYERS of the
Commonwealth are unacquninted with the
proper methods OF procedure If there is any
flaw in the legality of the program. More
over, the approval of the Public Service
Commission has strengthened greatly the
cltys position.
~ ~ TedSOndDly certain, therefore, that the
obstructlonists have been definitely defeated
and new era of municipal development is
at hand The victory will encourage the
public to go ahead to compel other public
improvements which too long have been de-
layed' and to insist on the achievement of
those other programs which are requisite II
the city Is to attain the metropolitan great
neas to which II Is destined. Not only must
Philadelphia have the best transit facilities,
but 1t must have the best water-fr front facli-
ties and tho best housing, and the best sew
erage system, and the best streets, and the
best organizations for conserving the public
health and giving to childhood the proper
chance to develop into sturdy manhood.
Transit is the first great victory, the fore
runner of the others, which are as certain
eventually as transit was and as sure to be
productive of dividends in cash and other
wise.
Let the dirt fly.

american Review Of ReYieWs.)
II is true as Mr. Lansing stated in
his recent address before the Amherst
alumni, that lt is obliged TO deal
with the questions Of international
law and usage, which are arising eV-
cry day in our relations with other
countries This does not mean, how
ever, that Mr.. Lansngs decision is
final. The secretary of state assumes
the responsibility for the actions OF
the department Of state, and in con-
junction with the president deter
mines the policy OF the government
in International matters. 1t is, how
ever. of the greatest importance to
the secretary of state that the coun-
sellor, who is the second official Of
the department and who in the ab-
sence of Mr.. Bryan is acting score
tary, should be, not only Well in
formed on the questions that arise,
but hroadminded and sober Of judg
ment in matters Of policy
The experience which Mr. Lansing
has had is a guarantee Of hroadmind-
edness, and it is safe TO assume that
he would not have filed with dis
tincuon the many posts and positions
he has held. if his judgment were
not sound and to be relied upon. But
more eXacting qualities are required
in counselor He should be a diplo-
mat as well as an expert in interna-
tional law Mr. Lansing has associat-
ed with diplomats both at home and
abroad, and he has the advantage of
looking the part as we'll He is "A man
