TRANSIT

struction, the letting of contracts with
prices at their pinnacle would be dsas-
trous to the ultimate solvency of the pro-
posed system and would be pronigacv Of
the worst sort. The Frankford /, must
be rushed to completion, and it is possible
that the central subway sections for
which bids have already been received
should be begun, but no sane man would
advocate going ahead with the whole con-
struction program under present condi-
tions. To do so would offer a possible
excess profit Of millions to contractors,
due to later drop i'm prices.
The comprehensive transit system Is
perfectly feasible financially under normal
conditions. as citizens overwhelmingly de-
cided in two open elections; but to build
under abnormal conditions when the sys-
tenn is to be operated under normal con-
ditions would be suicidal. 1t is on a par
with the misrepresentation Of the Record,
which persists in declaring that the sys-
TEN never was feasible. our contempo-
rary doubtless is convinced a fve-cent
loaf Of bread was always an economic
monstrosity simply because it is an eco
nomlc impossibility now.

CLEANING UP SOUTH 4TH STREET

To the Editor Of the Eucning Ledger!
Sr-Knowing we'll the EVENING LEDGER
as the newspaper which takes up heartily
all civic questions at a moments notice
/ inclose an article concerning such a ques'
tion.
Let It be known that an era of cleanll-
ness was inaugurated the other day in
part Of South Fourth street. Thence the
move will spread TO other streets similar in
condition. There is hope that no longer
will one need II hold his nose in passing
there and view with keenest displeasure the
filth and IT'S prOduCt-myrads of flies. IL
was with great enthusiasm that the work
was commenced in South Fourth street be-
tween Fitzwater and Monroe by the push
cart owners. 1t Is perfectly clear that they
are more than eager to see that the saying,
ut was ever So" shall no longer be applic-
able to them. What they wanted so far was
helping hand, suggestions and initiative
on a small scale Hereafter there can be
seen bag hanging on every other pushcart
There they must place all paper and gar
bage in the course Of the day; then, before
quitting time, dump 1t into a barrel placed
for them on the corner. This arrangement
is temporary, of course. The advantage in
bags Is that they close by sheer weight of
contents, thus keeping flies out As the
idea of keeping cutters clean will become
familiar to Them the work will be most
vigorous and thorough. The storekeepers
along there are glad to cooperate and will
see that no waste leaves their stores that
is not placed in receptacles, The street.
cleaning department will surely respond
and do its best. And then what appeared
heretofore unattainable will take place in
a short time. Here is an illustration Of the
eagerness on the part of the vendors TO
clean up:
One woman, unaware that a barrel stood
nearby for garbage collection, had taken
her more than half-filed bag with garbage
some ten blocks to home so as TO make
sure It would be removed. With pushcart
men and women realizing their duty and
Fastening to do their bits, the work will un-
doubtedly prove to be a great and perma-
ment success. II is most gratifying to learn
that at last the grave menace TO health is TO
be removed before the hot weather arrives,

FEDERALIzING THE WORLD

MANY publiclsts of this and other coun-
A'A tries have suggested that the future
federation OF the Powers, which will be
formed to insure lasting peace, should
rest upon the principle which binds the
American States together. 1t is in no
boastful spirit that Americans have de.
clared that the Governments Of the world
might well become n new and comprehen.
sive United States" They have seen a
United States OF Europe formed to re.
press Germany. They have seen this
Union" adopt a written Constitution"
rudmentary, TO be sure, pedglng its
members merely 90 cooperate and TO re-
ject proffers OF n separate peace. but for
all that n real federation, with separate
selfgoverninR States united by a prin.
ciple in set terms. The word rebellion"
has even been used to describe the act
Of an Entente Power which might make
peace and break the Union and there
has been high talk Of coercing such a
rebel, just as there was here in Civil War
days.
The two greatest contributions Of
America 70 the world have been this
principle Of federation and the Supreme
Court Foreigners are amazed at the al.
most complete sovereignty and sef.sum-
cheney Of our Commonwoalths. They re.
mark that Pennsylvania is as independent
Of America as Holland is of Europe and
that II II were not for the letter boxes
and the coins one would hardly ever have
visible evidence that there is a Federal
Government. But there are postal and
monetary unions abroad, we can reply,
which promise TO become universal.
What, then, Is distinctive about the Amer
lean Union Of self.governing States which
has not been to some extent adopted or
considered by other countries? How have
the States been kept together with the
visible ties so slight?
Surely the invention Of the supreme
Court accomplished this miracle. The
basic law was carefully enough written
to insure both State sovereignty and fed.

CRITICISM OF GOVERNMENT

10 the Editor OF the EueniHg Ledger:
Sir-If assume that you are a laborins
man with six children, have also a right
10 suppose that you are busy. Even should
you not have the six children, it would GER
tainly be impossible for you to make anv
complete analysis of all of the actions Of
our Government during these trying times
Certainly, newspaper discussion and intel
ligent editorials help the man in the street
10 make up his mind. The influence of a
great daily paper is tremendous and may
nave It's results for generations,
My plea is, then, to you to protect the
laooring man, the man who is too busy
working for us all to be able to look fter
MS own interests in governmental matters
You are his champion-his voice.
Criticism Of public men-unfavorabIe
criticism, II necessary-will prevent hun
ders and mistakes which our common peopIe
must pay for with their blood on the irinS
line The gun which clogs during = charge
clogs because somebody made a mistake
Let's know who makes the mistakes in order
that they may be few.
