STATE EMPLOYMENT BUREAU

7 ABOR in Pennsylvania at the
II time is in the happy position of
being able to select it's own job.
That there is more work than workers
is evident from the report of the State
Bureau of Employment for the past
month. More employers than place
hunters sought the services of the
bureau.
In Harrisburg, for example, 437 en-
ployers asked to be directed to men to
fill the positions they had to offer,
while the number of applications for
work totaled only 317. In other words,
there were 120 more jobs open than
there were men to fill them. This pro-
portion is maintained throughout the
State.
Just now the Employment Bureau is
serving the employer to a greater eX-
tent than the employe, but nobody can
tell how soon this may be reversed.
In times of industrial depression it will
be of invaluable assistance to the man
looking for work and great aid in
keeping check on unemployment
There are few more important func-
tions of government than that of
bringing jobless man and the manless
Job together. The wonder is it took
Pennsylvania so long to put this very
plain truth into practice.

OUR CANAL PROBLEM

WlImnIaAnMAa manAat,an a, MAdEns MAG 1ss recon recon
ture institute an investigation
into the possibility of rehabilitating
the old canal systems of Eastern
Pennsylvania for the purpose of re-
ducing freight-carrying charges on
anthracite from the mines to Phila-
dephia, is not new, but it will receive
$ more than ordinary consideration for
several reasons. aside from the popu-
lar interest attaching to the subject.
Mr.. MageeN, has been prominently
identified with coal transportation by
water in Western Pennsylvania and
with all manner of canal projects on
the Allegheny water shed. Besides,
the fact that he Is member of the
Public Service Commission gives in
creased weight to his reference to
State law and the canals. He can
mean nothing more or less than that
Magee, Public Service Commissioner
would compel the canal companies, If
a legislative committee recommended
1t, to make such expenditures as would
be necessary to transform the canals
into waterways, capable of carrying
all the coal that might be offered from
the mines to tidewater. This would
work complete revolution in the
transportation methods OF Pennsylva-
MIA and restore an industry, the doom
of which. it had been thought, was
sealed definitely when steam came
into general use as a freight-hauling
agency.
Mr.. Magee's remarks refer especially
to the Lehigh and Delaware canals
still in operation to a limited degree.
It would be next to impossible to re-
store the long since abandoned Penn
sylvania canal which in many places
has been filled up and turned into
roadbed for railroad or State Highway
purposes, as north of Harrisburg for
example.
Opinion is inclined, first off, to de-
eide that it was short-sighted policy,
indeed, which prompted the railroads
when they came into possession of the
old canal properties, which they dis
placed as common carriers, to let them
deteriorate and finally fall into disuse
entirely. Viewed from present day
car shortages and freight embargoes
it was, indeed, poor business to aban-
don these waterways, which just now
would be so helpful both in the hand
ling of ''slow" freight and in keeping
down traffic charges on coal. But con-
ditions were different then.
1t requires study of the canal his
tory of Pennsylvania to give one a
proper understanding of the attitude
of the early railroad managers toward
the canals.
In the first pleace, the railroads did
not rush in and gobble up the canals.
willy nilly, with the purpose of killing
competition. Records in the Depart
ment of Internal Affairs show that the
State repeatedly urged the PennsyIva-
MIA Railroad Company-or anybody
else with the money-to take the
Pennsylvania canal system off its
hands. The canal was losing money

Abraham Greenberg, as referee, Off
cially reported to the surrogates' court
that Miss Wallace cannot possibly get
along on less than $10,500 year and

n TOVING picture producers who
lVI have been telling the public that
there is no need for public cen
sorship have something to explain.
The censors to-day made public
list of the films condemned in recent
months. Here are few samples of
the rejected titles, selected at random:
"Black Nissen, the Human Beast"
THE Flame of Passion" "The Brides
maids Secret" Governor Slaton and
Leo Frank" Harry Thaw's Fight for
Life" "The Life of Evelyn Thaw,"
Leading Lizzie Astray," "The Horrors
of White Slavery" "The Sewer" "The
She-Devir' and scores of others like
them.
The producers are convicted out of
their own mouths. If they are capable
of censoring their own productions so
as to protect the public from such
degrading spectacles as those indicated
by the titles of the rejected films. why
do they not do it? The subjects alone
are sufficient to condemn every one of
the productions named without ex-
animation. So long as the censors
stand between the people and films of
this nature the movie" man cannot
expect the public to get excited over
the injustice of State censorship.

German submarine sinks, without
warning, merchant vessel carrying
Americans.
The Marina, we are told, was mis-
taken for an army transport. So the
German submarine commander fired a
torpedo at her without taking time to
make sure and then let go another to
be certain that as few of the passengers
as possible should escape. 1t would be
funny if it were not so tragic.
Doubtless the wise statesman at

Maybe, sometime, he will get up
courage enough to tell Germany it is
high time to stop making the little

Maybe he will; and then again, maybe
he won't. At least he should keep up

WHY FOLWELL WON

DOB FOLWELL, miracle man of
ID Pennsylvania" is what the
sporting writer's call him, now
that his football methods at Penn
have been vindicated by a triumphant
victory over Cornell at the close of the
most successful season the red and
blue eleven has had in years.
But there is nothing miraculous
about either Folwell or his coaching.
When he took hold of the Penn eleven
he found the merit system overrun by
social favoritism. Too many men
made the team" because of family.
Blue blood played on the eleven, while
red blood stood jersey-clad on the
sidelines.
Folwell changed all this. The men
he assigned to the first team" were
there because they had earned their
positions in fair and open competi-
ton. He played brains and Drawn
against favoritism, and they won, as
they always do.

and the railroad didn't want 1t. 1t
was only after much dickering by the
State and much hesitation on the part
of the railroad that the transfer fin
ally was made. and it is of official rec
ord that those who engineered the
deal for the State thought they had
put one over" on the railroad cor
poration.
Once in possession of the canals, 1t
should throttle them. In those days
1t was not a question of too much
freight, but how to get enough traffic
to pay interest charges and dividends.
The great four and six-track systems
of to-day were beyond the dreams of
the most imaginative.
Let us not blame the railroads more
than the State for conditions as they
exist with relation to the canals of
Pennsylvania. Both were to blame.
Both were short sighted to an excus-
able degree. AS well look back half
century hence and blame us of to-day
for not reserving certain sky fran

planists. The transportation needs of
to-day were far less apparent a half
century or more ago than are now
those that will trouble Pennsylvanians
fifty years hence. We know now that
they will need aeroplanes then, but
few in 1860 imagined that in the
twentieth century Pennsylvania peo-
pie would have use for any such slow
going, cumbersome vehicle as a canal
boat.
