PENROSE AS A REFoRMER
Pertinent Comment by the New York
Evening Post on the Inter.
estine Spectacle

The toloTmG interesting remarks nbo"f
the IocGI poliiicdi situation appeared in INC
Ncw York Ercning Post Of Saturday:
SENATOR pENROSE on the side of the
~ rcformrrs is no now spectacle, but some
how ii never loses its riQuancy. Now he
goes to Harrisburg to lead in person the
fight for new charter for Philadelphia.
The bill containing the proposed revision
is far from being as advanced rs the Senator
would prefer. 1t may satisfy ordinary re
formers. but not Il super rcformcr. SO he
proposes to have amendments offered, all in
the name of ''thC attainment of municipal
good governments
Yet hc cannot conceal his fears that
bill which has received the Endorsement
of the Cty's principal business and civic
organizations. of church. labor and fra

mental change in the city charter would give
now opportunity for PcnroSc. who thus
far, like Quay before him. has had to be
content with the ovrrlordShip Of tho state

In the face Of these unctuous professions
il is painful to see Philadelphia newspapers
suggesting that the senator show his zeal
for better city government by doing what

proposing. for instance. that the city be

come, but they have absolutely no voice
in the expenditure of the money and alb
solutely no say as to the conduct of the
men who get the money. This is un-
American and undemocratc
We do not believe that the Legislature
of Pennsylvania will consent to foist any
such system upon Philadelphia, because it
cannot be defended an instant before the
bar of reason and common sense. But as
we have already intimated. it is a plan
which would encourage the local faction
alists to carry their quarrels to Harris
burg, as they have done this winter, and
it would gum the wheels of the legsa-
tive machinery until all motion was
stopped.
Now is the accepted time for giving
home rule to this city, and now is the day
of salvation for the Legislature. which
wishes to be free to pass bills for the
good of the state at large.

AN OVERDUE EXTlNGUISHER

TT is safe to assume that the few ac-
tors here and there who have been
fishing for absent t-minded laughs with
shabby badinage at the expense of the
Y. NJ. c. A. were not among the men
who fought or labored in France. The
manager of the Philadelphia theatre who
ordered that sort of thing off his pro-
gram has set a good example to theatri-
cal men everywhere.
The Y. M. C. A. wasn't perfect. Moth
ing in France was. The organization
assumed stupendous burdens, and the
very magnitude and complcxity of its
task made friction and faults inevitable.
Stage folk themselves, who worked
tirelessly in behalf of the men in the
service, have been the first to object to
the practice just halted in this city. No
man who is not ignorant or worse will
speak lightly of things done or left un-
done in period of confusion and strain
that tried to the limits of human endur-
ance the hearts and souls of every one
concerned

THE IRON DIVISION

MO CONTINGENTS in the great war
had a record nobler than that Of the
Iron Division whose advance guard ar
rived in this country yesterday under
Colonel Edward c. Shannon. These
Pennsylvanians lived up to all the mag
nifcent implications of their namc.
Their casualties in the various actions
totaled 60 per cent. And they never
turned back.
Nothing that Philadelphia may do in
the way of a welcome will be quite
enough to express what any Pennsylva-
nian must feel at the thought or men
tion of these soldiers. 1t is odd to think
that they return to an atmosphere trou-
bled with the squalid pickering and fur
tive meanness of those who are waging
war upon the men appointed to make the
fruits of the.r matchless sacrifice en-
during

THE DOCK FOR WILLIAM

NAPOLEON, pursued by both Prus-
SLAMS and Bourbons, fed for his life
on board the British man-of-war Beller-
ophon on July Is, 1915. His act elimi-
mated host of complexities in intcrna-
tional jurisprudence, He was virtually
prisoner of war.
By his escape into Dutch territory the
ex-kaiser destroyed any legal analogy
between his status in defeat and that of
the French emperor. The sentiment of
an outraged civilization in this instance,
however, chafes at technicalities. Un-
precedented as the proposed plan is, the
foreshadowed trial of William Hohen-
zollern is the procedure most satisfying
to those who fought his mad dynasty.
Stern justice, not blind revenge, is
what civilization seeks in this unparal-
leled case, and that is what the defend
ant will get if he is called upon to face
the international tribunal.
A fair trial of Napoleon would have
spared the world much falsified and SEN
timentalzed history. A trial of the eX-
kaiser would be a most effective anti
dote for any future commentators de-
sirous of handling the whitewash brush.

retaliation on truck owners and other
motor drivers from the other side of the
river.
Jersey is nice place. 1t is hard to
Keep away from. The state has a great
and costly system of roads. The income
from native motorists, says the Jersey
Legislature, is not adequate for the
maintenance of the highway system. But
what of the money-laden plutocrats who
haunt the Jersey roads? Are they not
worth welcoming? Roads can be paid
for in other ways than by direct taxa
ton. Unless the Jersey folk can realize
this they ought to be willing to take a
bit of the medicine that their justices of
the peace administer so freely to others.
If they insist on collecting from every
user Of their highways, then they should
contribute in a like manner elsewhere.
We in Pennsylvania have some good and
expensive roads--evon if we haven't an
ocean-and we could use to good advan-
tage the money paid by Jersey motor
license holders

AN INTERSTATE MOTOR WAR?

TN THE good old days before bread and
u gasoline, the two essentials of modern
existence, took unto themselves wings of
price, life was less of a strain than it is
now. The roads of Pennsylvania were
wide open to any one with any sort of an
automobile tag. There was and still is
happy reciprocal agreement between
most of the states by which motor drivers
are made free as the air all the year
round on highways in far places to whose
people similar courtesies are granted by
the state that the visiting motorist calls
home.
New Jersey is one of the few states
that have maintained the right of inde-
pendent action in this respect. 1t grants
only fifteen days of grace to visitors in
deyilwagons with foreign tags. After
fifteen days the intruding machine must
sport Jersey license plate unless the
owner is willing to risk a session with
squire. 1t was natural that a great many
owners of automobiles in this state,
which in the past was not accustomed to
quibble about its roads, came, in the
course of time, to believe that money
spent on Pennsylvania registry was
wasted They obtained Jersey licenses
and were free to go where they would at
al times in their own state without fear
OF fine. arrest or interrogation. A good
deal of money was thus diverted from the
