TRANSIT REFORMS

MIR. M1TTEN'S proposals to the city
Az are so comprehensive and some of
them are so novel that the most careful
scrutiny on the part of Councils is obliga-
tory. In particular the financial provi-
sions, involving the abolition of exchange
tickets and the remission by the munich
pality of payments amounting annually
to $785,000, call for sincere and fair
minded examination.
Happily, the general tone of the transit
companys suggestions is frank and ex-
hibitive of a concern for the public in
terest. Notably is this true of the simple
and sensible plans for obviating traffic
delays. These solutions stand quite apart
from the financial problems and there is
no reason why Mr.. Mitten should not put
them in force, regardless of what sort Of
bargain his company and the city may
make.
The relocation of the tracks around
the City Hall is so logical remedy of
the motorcar blockade that one is moved
to wonder why something of the sort
was not considered earlier. Naturally,
the laying of the rails close to the plaza
pavement will prevent much of the pres
ent congestion by autos which now cross
and recross the centered tracks.
The contemplated diversion of the
North Eighteenth and Twentieth street
cars out Filbert street will also decidedly
clarity the situation at the south side of
Broad Street Station. Other interest
ingly outlined reforms are the equipment
of the Germantown line with modern
green cars, the use of Tenth and Elev-
enth streets as express routes and the
establishment of one-way traffic rules
throughout the city.
Councils should pass an ordinance au-
thorizing this improvement, no matter
what its opinion may be about the
weighty and complicated financial issues

Great Russia must be friendly to permit
of such speedy marches by the rescuing
army. Within the last month an advance
of 100 miles from south to north has
been made.
The difficulty of foretellng events in
Russia has given pause even to the rash
est prophets. Nevertheless, nobody save
infatuated reds, has ever entertained the
thought that the Bolshevist rule could
be permanent. Where the forecasters
differed was in consideration of the in
struments capable of delivering the
death-blow.
Similar perplexity embarrassed the
champions of civilization, who wondered
by what means the convention would be
overthrown in the French Revolution.
When the Reign of Terror began Ma
poeon Bonaparte was virtually unknown.
Yet it was his privilege with that epochal
whit of graposhot" on the 18th Vende-
maire to blow the French Revolution into
"a thing that was" Its superb accom-
pishments for liberty were, of course,
invUlncrable. 1t was its madness and
excesses which were hurled into the past
by that vigorous suppression of the Paris
mob in October, 1895.
While there is not the slightest cvi-
dence that Denikm is a Napoleon, it
may be his mission to be just as service
able in this particular instance. If the
sanity of Russia, to which czarism and
Leninism are alike abhorrent, support
him in winning Petrograd or Moscow
mankind's obligations to him will be pro-
found.

ENHANCING THE PARKS APPEAL

THE tak of installing an elaborately
L equipped modern restaurant on Bel
mont Hill calls to mind one respect in
which Fairmount Park has long Jagged
behind the Bois dc Boulognc and other
celebrated foreign pleasure grounds. A
splendid park as large as ours ought to
be conveniently appointed with we'll
conducted, attractive cafes.
AS it is, the places of entertainment
are few and far between and, although
some of them are delightfully."- quaint,
they are quite incapable of filling all the
needs of the population of the Fairmount
domain on a fine day. Moreover, now
that prohibition is in force, the restau
rants of the Park will not suffer by COM
parison with those beyond its jurisdic-
ton
The Park Commissioners and the Park
art jury, which supervise the erection Of
any new buildings in the recreation area,
may be expected to protect historic land
marks, such as many of the fine old man
sions are, and at the same time to heed
the claims of good taste regarding new
structures.
Innovations, however, that will en-
hance the appeal of one of the loveiiest
pleasure grounds possessed by any city
should be cordially welcomed.

FLoURIsHING TIMES FOR MUSIC

MUSIC lovers of philosophic bent
AiA should be able TO derive considerable
satisfaction by a comparison of the con-
ditions attending the inaugural of the
Philadelphia Orchestra's season this year
with those which prevailed year ago.
When Mr.. Stokowski raises his baton
at the Academy today he will signal
/. jze the opening of musical term favored
with exceptional possibilities. Last
October the Influenza occasoned three
weeks postponement of the first pair of
concerts. With the war in progress it
was, moreover, doubtful that the per-
sonnel of the fine artistic organization
could be for any length of time pre-
served intact.
Of all the arts, music, because of its
spiritual refreshment, suffered least by
the universal conflict, and yet impair
ment of its vitality was alarmingly fore
cast.
The worst forebodings We're happily
unrealized. A prosperous season ensued,
but, owing to its inauspicious start, it s
likely that its accomplishments will not
be comparable with the fine things now
in store fer music patrons.
Of the sound and vigorous taste for
good music in Philadelphia there is no
longer any question. Entertainments,
both of high grade and otherwise, are
flourishing conspicuously just now. Mr..
Stokowski, with his loyal clientele and
his admirable ambitions, will be enabled
to profit splendidly by the prevailing
popular mood. The season which be-
gins this afternoon has unquestionably
the best wishes of the best elements OF
the public.
