Get BUSY and Authorize Digging

When the city Of New York determined
to establish adequate rapid transit faoIlI.
ties for public service the existing COM
panles procrastinated and withheld their
cooperation. The city, however, pro-
eeeded to design the lines and actually to
let contracts for their construction before
any provision for the equipment and opera.
tlon thereof was made. The result was
that the existing companies Joined with the
city and entered Into contract for the
equipment and operation OF the city owned
lines, for they could not have survived the
Inevitable competition which would have
resulted from their equipment and opera.
ton by competitive company.-DIrector
Taylor.
TNHE way to get rapid transit is to get It.
i The people have voted, ny an over
whelming majority. the sum of s6,OOo,oOO
with which to begin work. Not dollar of
that amount is authorized for any subway
or elevated that is not constituent part
of the comprehensive Taylor plans. To OBJ
ject that no work should be begun until
provision is made for the construction of
the entire system is, in the existing clrcum-
stances. to obstruct rapid transit as such
interests which, for one reason or another
are resorting to any subtle plan which is
likely to induce delay.
Councils, which is the Organization, is
in n peculiar position. BY the broad mind
edness of Director Taylor in accepting
proposal different from his own. since 1T
offered the only chance of beginning work
promptly and did not nullify his own COM
prehensive plans, the immediate projects for
consideration are Councils own projects, to
which it is dedicated by the obligation of
paternity and against which 1t cannot turn
without pillorying itself before this com
munity as a body which trifed with pub
lie purpose and proposed its own modus
operandi as n red herring and without any
expectation whatever of ever putting 1t into
1t wrapped itself up in this S6OOOOOO loan
originally and offered it as it's own. 1t can
not repudiate it's own proposals without ad-
mtting treachery. The Organization does
not usually play the game so poorly as to
permit Councils so to brand itself in the
open.
BY tomorrow night the city will have an
inkling of where it stands and how it is to
be treated. If the Organization wants to
make it's fight in November on platform,
the principal plank of which would be this
betrayal of public interests, be it. It is
the kind of challenge any respecting
community knows how to meet.

There Is No Need for More Commissions

THERE are commissions enough already
i without creating any more. This is true
whether the municipal investigating COM
mission proposed by Representative Wilson
is intended as a Ware and McNichol club
TO be used on the independents in the
mayoralty campaign or is to secure infor-
nation for the guidance of the General As
sembly in future legislation.
The resolution calling for the appointment
of the commission provides for a blanket
grant of power to make Investigations not
only In Philadelphia, but in every city In
the Commonwealth. No community would
be safe from its visits and no political
leader not in sympathy with the powers in
control Of the commission could escape the
inquisitorial examination of hostile men,
It is easy TO argue that an investigation
of many cities is needed for the good of the
public but no one has any confidence that
that would be the purpose of this inquiry
We have had some experience with mu-
nicpal investigating committee, and every
one knows that as soon the latest one
began to get near real disclosures II was
called off and shipped out of town between
days.
The Governor must veto the bill. His un-
prejudiced friends feel that If he consults
his own hest interests he will not tie him
self up with any permanent inquisitorial
body capable of great mischief.

IF KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backache is sign you
have been eating too
much meat.

When EOu wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region it
generally means you have been eating
too much meat, says a welI-known au-
thOrity. Meat forms uric acid which
Overworks the kidneys in their effort
10 filter it from the blood and they
become sort Of paraIyzed and lOggy-
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them, like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
backache. sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
ana when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, channels often
get sore, water scalds and you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult a good, reliable nhysi-
clan at once or get from your pEarma-
cist about four ounces Of Jad Salts;
take q tablespoonful in a glass Of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid Of grapes and lemon juice, com
biued with lithia, and has been used
for generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize
acids in the urine so it no longer irrl-
tates. thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is a life saver for regular
meat eaters. Tt is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes a delightful, effer-
vescent lithia-water drink.-Adv.

could have been saved from ever be-
coming criminals. In the first place,
their pride and self respect would have
been saved even in the school, for very
often people who have little intellectu-
ality have a strong mechanical sense.
The boy who can never learn the names
of all the presidents may be able to do
things with his hands that will redeem
his scholarship in the sight Of his fell
lows, and thus keep hi minterested and
eager to go to school, instead Of making
him a truant.
Nor should we forget this most i'm
portant fact that the habits that we
form in childhood are practically I'M
breakable They follow us as long as
We live, and it is a safe assertion that
no child who has the habit OF indus
try, of doing some sort Of particular
work accurately, and efficiently, in
grained in him or her, will ever develop
into an idler and loafer.
It is perfectly possible to teach every
girl and boy a good trade, to turn them
into expert workers capable OF earning
a living wage by the time they are old
enough to take out their working pa
pers. If we did this we should remove
temptation to a large extent from their
pathway We would have formed the
habit of industry in them, we would
have taught them the joy there is IN
doing good work, in being efficient, and
that is about the best thing that any
human being can know.
The real reason UnaU most people nate
to work is because they are bunglers
at their jobs, and they are ashamed OF
the results they turn out They have
never been taught scientific manage
ment or how to DO their work artistic
ally.
Women hate to cook. because they
don't know the first principles of cook
cry, and the results If their labor ere
adamantine breaI and watery vege-
tables, and leathery meat that would
kill an ostrich. But find woman who
is an expert cook, and whose pies and
cakes and sauce are celebrated among
all who know her, and you'll find q
woman who delights in cooking.
Work Fills Man With Joy.
The jackleg carpenter, whose work
is clumsy and i'll done, hates hls JoD
and lays Off as often as possible, but
the expert carpenter, the real mechanic
whose work is joy to behold thinks
carpentering the finest occupation on
earth. and wonders why everybody
doesn't follow it.
For good work of whatever kind Is
artistry, and it commands recognition
and pay. and it fills the one who does
It with the sacred joy Of achievement.
The way to stop crimina3ity IS with
work, and the place to begin Is in the
first grade of the public school

Keep Your Lungs Strong

This advice IS doubly important with
the knowledge that every three minutes
some one in the United States succumbs
TO consumption and many refuse to
realize they are afflicted until tits too late.
It is after colds or sickness, from over
work, couining duties or when general
weakness exists that tubercular germs
thrive because the resistive powers of
the body are weakened.
Only with fresh air, sunshine and
abundant rich blood can one hope to
arrest their progress, and the concen-
trated fats in SCOTS Emulsion furnish
fuel for rich blood, and its rare nourish-
ment helps strengthen the lungs while
it builds up the forces.
If you work indoors, tire easily, feel
languid or rundown SCOTS Emulsion is
the most strengthening food-medicine
known and is free from alcohol or stupe-
flying drugs. Avoid substitutes.

TENRY FORD'S assertion that he

turning him into first class mechanic,
capable of earning good pay, is the
most sensible reform propaganda that

Satan finds work for idle hands to do,

OF course, there are some unfortun-
ats who are born physically and NOR
ally deformed, and who would be GRIM
lnals under any circumstances, but the
great majority of those who become
criminals are more weak than vicious.
They are simply those without much
intelligence, without any initiative of
their own, who follow the line of least
resistance, and go in any direction in
which they are pushed.
Boys and girls Of this type do not do

they fall behind in their studies. The

These boys and girls have not been

which they can earn a decent living.
They have to take the lowest paid
