on other wars, on other eternal enmities of the

commission, with some great names attached
to It, TO do what?
why, to give the Mayor some excuse FOR
holding matters up; to find, If possible, some
reason to paliate the extraordinary conduct of
the city administration, some chance to justify
this monstrous prevention of the peoples de-
sires.
There is no evidence to prove that the
Mayor, before election, entered into an under
standing not to retain in office A. Merritt Tay-
lor but the Mayor, having determined in its
essentials what his course would be, did delay
appointing Director of City Transit until he
was assured that the appointee would obey
orders and not interfere with his the Mayor's)
design to rip the Taylor plan wide open.
AS a result there is not in the city adminis-
tration or in the Department Of City Transit
any responsible officer who is protecting the
interests of the people or has any enthusiasm
for so doing. The sentiment is anti-transit and
obstructionary.
The present status was foretold in the
EVENING LEDGER of November 1, the day
before election, when the people of Phadel-
phia were solemnly warned of the intentions
of MIR. Smith.
Mr.. Twining is among the most eminent
engineers in the country He has, however,
entered office under an agreement not to per-
form some of the functions heretofore con.
sdered essential to the occupation of the posi-.
tion. He has been trapped beyond hope of
extrication. He should be the peoples cham
pion; he is content to be merely an engineer
1t is an unfortunate situation for him to
occupy, unfortunate alike for himself and for
the city, and even, we believe, untenable.
But the high priest Of the obstructonsts is
actually the Mayor of Philadelphia.

AS long as the Carranzstas and the Wills
tas meet in battle and fire shots at each other
there is some ground for believing that all is
not as bad as it might be down in Mexico.
The mischievous report that the President
is purposely delaying activity in the bandit
hunt for political reasons is of a piece with
wild rumors Of Carranzas activity against the
United States. II is slander on the Presi.
dent, who is a politi al leader, unfortunately,
well as a nations head. But it is also
wanton outrage against General Pershing and
against the United States Army units under
his command.

The tuition fee at the University goes up
next year to 1920 year. To a number of
students the increase will be a hardship. but
it has proved necessary and they will meet
this obligation as they meet the many others
of college life. The startling thing about this
is the fact that $3.50 should ever have been
considered enough. The University, in COM
