OUT FOR THE COIN"

TNHE Mayor of Philadelphia telegraphs
l. our two well-known political contrac-
tors, who temporarily hold in their hands
the destinies of Pennsylvania, to admon'
ish them that If they do not rush through
the Legislature a bill permitting them to
dip their fingers into the citys sacred
transit and port funds there will be no
money for some time to come for them
to get in the form Of juicy municipal
contracts,
Heretofore these eminent contractors
have been vigilant in watching their own
interests, which they have done pretty
well. 1t is the first time, we believe, that
n Chief Executive Of this city has lent
the prestige of his high office openly to
their purposes and espoused their pro.
gram on the ground that it is in the pub.

In the Long Run

In the long run! The phrase leaps to the
tongue
Heavy with promise Of a brighter day.
When from the years a victory may be
wrung
In the long run.
November mists may melt TO tender MAY,
And from the hostile tides on which we're
dung
We yet may drift into a placid bu
At eve when skies with silver stars are
strung,
Escaping palors of defeat that play
Often on lips when vesper bells are swung
In the long run!

PHOTOGRAPHER OF RUINS

There is the photographer OF Ypres, for
instance In the old days of peace his
photographs were the standard of Ypres
photography; his Views of the Cloth Hall,
the art gallery, and the quaint streets were
those which the tourists bore away with
them. In April Of 1918, before the second
battle OF Hpres, he was still in Ypres
though it had been almost empted of
civilians. With an infinite patience he had
found the exact points Of vantage from
which he had taken photographs of the
famous buildings in peace times and had
turned his camera on the wrecks His
series OF photographs, entitled Before and
AFTER showed TO a mathematical nicety
the ruin that had been done to Ypres He
published them in postcard form, bound
them Into little booklets, and sold them to
the only tourists that ever came to Ypres
the officers and soldiers of England and
Canada. The second battle of Ypres In the
latter part OF April wrought new destruc-
tion and rendered his edition passe. and
the patient photographer, working amid the
explosions of giant German shells, was en-
gagged, with his same loving patience. in
taking new pictures of the new ruins when
the BRUSH officers, to save his life, ordered
him to leave the town.
What would you have called your new
edition OF the photograph book?" | asked
him, as purchased one Of the last comics
of his Before and After"
Il intended to name it Before and After
and After and / hoped to add one new

BLAME COCKTAILS FOR MORE DE.
LAY IN SHIPBUILDING

Washington, July 17-Differences
between Chairman Denman of the
shipping board and Major General
Cocktails, manager of the boards feet
corporation, which have halted the
governments shipbuilding program
apparently were far from a settlement
tonight.
General Goethals, who yesterday
postponed plans for constructing two
great government shipbuilding plants
and for requisitioning ships now build
ing made no move today toward going
ahead with his program. Nor would
he add to his statement of last night
that Mr.. Denman had asked for delay
to give the shipping board time to &c
over his plans.
Chairman Denman put the whole
responsibility for the delay on Gen.
eral Cocktails, who, he charged, was
slow in furnishing information asked
Of him yesterday concerning his plans
At the same time he made it clear
that the shipping board as holder OF
the stock in the Fleet Corporation, will
study the generals program careful
ly before giving 1t approval.
