PAY TIE POLICE

THERE should be no need to argue
L the Justice Of raising the pay of the
Philadelphia police. Should any ele-
ments in the community, however, still
be unconvinced, reference to the appeal
which our civic guardians have issued
should be sufficient. The logic is unan-
swerable.
The police and the tiremen as we'll
can no longer equitably be considered
as apart from the new economic struc-
ture Their loyalty and fidelity to their
posts amid the allurements of wartime
wages in a host of industries is incon-
testable and eminently commendable.
The city must answer their plea-a
modest one for a $500 annual increase
IF it is TO maintain its self-respect and
to honor servants which honor it. II
must not be said that towns like Pat
erson and Elizabeth have shamed

the circles move in spirals and each

tie higher than the last We see the

SO on this day set apart for thanks

take firm grip on ourselves, buttress
our hope with confidence and express
our gratitude to the God of Things as
They Are that He has given us faith to
believe that He is also the God of Things
as They Will Be and that He has seen
the end from the beginning. And we

TALK IS CHEAPER

RECENT surveys of Bell telephone
earnings in Pennsylvania indicated
that the returns upon the corporations
capital were in excess of the rate of
interest that utilities are supposed to
pay when they are administered with A
falr regard for the public as well as for
investors. 1t has been pretty apparent,
too, that reorganization is possible in
some details of the telephone system to
distribute more evenly the costs of the
service among the company's subscrib-
ers, and thus bring the rate for private
use down to new level.
Yesterdays order of the Public Serv-
ice Commission for return to the pre-
war telephone rate is therefore alto
gether just. 1t puts no burden on the
telephone company and it should have
no influence on present or future rates
OF wages made necessary by rising living
costs
The example of the Service Commits
sion will have a good effect beyond the
confines of the telephone business. II
suggests that all great utilities will
have to prepare for readjustments of
costs downward whenever this is nos
sible, and without waiting for interfer-
ence from Washington.
Talk, at least, will be cheaper, and
that means something. The news has a
hopeful sound. 1t indicates that if the
tlde has not turned it may turn before
long.

THE DRAMA AT CHIHUAHUA

GENERAL FELIPE ANGELES. who
~ was executed at Chihuahua yester-
day. was a Mexican who turned ravolu-
zionist when the government, which he
Loyalty sought to support. had ceased to
exist. Had Madero not been weak and
visionary, Angeles might have succeeded
in saving him.
As it was, a brilliant officer and a
statesman Of discemment, who had
hoped that the overthrow of Porfiro
Diaz might inaugurate a new era Of
liberty in Mexico, saw his cause be-
trayed by conspirators and his country
turned over to the brutality of the in
sensate Huerta.
Angeles mistrusted Carran2a. who APP
peared to him as the wrong instrument
for reforming the nation and quelling
the forces Of anarchy. There are OBJ
servers Of the Mexican chaos who sub
scribe to this view.

SONS. Felipe Angeles was loyal to his
principles. He was a military leader.
not road agent. He understood the
American aspect of the Mexican prob
lem and the delusions concerning it which
are so prevalent among his countrymen.
His execution was doubtless intended
to serve as an impressive exhibit of the
Carranza power History is replete with
instances Of snowy eleventh-hour dis
plays of deSpotic authority by govern
ments on the verge of fall. The strength
Of Caesar was his clemency.
The impression that Angeles was de-
Iiberately railroaded to his death is not
easy to dispeI.' Carranza could easily
have saved him. Under the circum-
stances punishment may have been need
full but not the staging of a malodrama
That is what the shooting at Chihuahua
seems to have been so far as the gov
ernment of Mexico City is involved.
The inspiring figure in the scene was
unquestionably Angeles, who died with
fine courage. 1t is conceivable that the
Mexican people may link his manly con-
duct with certain of the sane and patri-
otlc tenets which he championed.
If reaction. inspired by the memory
OF the death Of Angeles, should set in,
recollection Of his attitude toward Amer
lea and his contempt for banditry may
accompany it, 1t may pertinently be
asked whether Mexico has lost another
Juarez or Morelos. They, too, were rev.

True Story of the shrlIl and the FaIsetto


Our cheerful client Arthur Crabb tells us
little tale about the distribution of two
morning papers out in Bryn Mawr. For
purposes of etiquette we will call these pa
pers the ShriH and the Falsetto.
1t seems that our friend Mr. Crabb hadn't
been getting his customary copy of the ShrW
in the mornings. To his great disgust the
FaIsetto had been coming to him, and he
complained TO the newsdealer. The news
dealer explained that the boy on the route
was i'll in a hospital and that he had had
TO 20 the round himself. No one but the
boy knew which houses on that circuit had
papers delivered and which paper each one
took. So the unfortunate newsdealer thought
that in the emergency the only thing to do
was to rely on the sagacity of the horse He
set out, allowing his stcnd to wander where
he pleased
Unfortunately, the animal seemed to go
round in circles, contradictng all the stories
of equine sagacity However, the hopeful
dealer determined to do the best he could.
Every time the horse stopped he threw a
paper on the porch of the nearest house, al
ternating copies of the ShriH and the Fal-
settO.
There is probably a moral to the tale, il
we can worm it out. Perhaps all the people
on that route Immediately put in subscrip-
tions for the Morning Squeak.

And roamed in rich Cathay:

Where craggy dragons play:

DO you remember the blue stream
The bridge of pale bamboo;
The path that seemed twisted dream
Where everything came true;
The purple cherry trees; the house
With jutting caves below the boughs;
The mandarins in blue,
With tiny, tapping, tilted toes
And curious curved mustachios?
All. let us follow, follow far
Beyond the purple seas:
Beyond the rosy foaming bar,
The coral reef. the trees,
The land of parrots, and the wild
That rolls before the fearless child
Its ancient mysteries;
Onward and onward. if we can:
