A GREAT EVENT WELL MANAGED

PHILADELPHIA was a credit to the
parade. The day after the event
brings that reflection, not in boastful-
ness, but in valid appreciation of an ad-
mrable accomplishment.
On the crest of excitement, with the
majestic pageant the prime object of
emotional concentration, it is likely
enough that the thrilled multitudes were
not thinking deeply about how little they
were inconvenienced in abnormal condi-
tions, how smooth was the administra-
tion of the whole affair, how fitting was
the frame for the impressive military
picture. But the realization is due now.
Both the municipal government as rep
resented by Mayor Smith and the well
come home committee, and the citizens
generally are richly entitled to credit.
The vast crowds were orderly. They
were admirably handled The police
regulations and their execution combined
authority with discretion and good judg-
ment. No spectacle in this city was ever
better managed.
The traffic arrangements had been de-
vised with foresight. The whole COM
munity took on a new and exceptional
character, achieving the change as easily
as though the gorgeous scene had been
subjected to long rehearsal.
The weather was patriotically inclined,
and this evidence of sympathy naturally
reduced the hardships attendant upon hu-
manity when it is closely packed. Never
theless, mismanagement might have re-
suited in the conventional crop Of parade
accidents. AS it was, bitches in the pro-
ceedings were inconsequential.
Art as well as efficiency graced the day
Never perhaps in its history has the old
| town looked so resplendent and SO pic
| turesque. The blue battle standards OF
| Chestnut street. the cluster of columns
on the plaza, the triumphal architectural
| scheme in front of Independence Hall
| with the Liberty Bell as the precious
| cynosure; the decorative bunting, kalei
doscopic in its hues; the .colorful anG
| elaborate displays made by the business
| houses and public buildings achieved 6
| feat in transformation virtually without
precedent here.
The aspect of the procession was sober
| The thrill was in the heart. The con
trast between the solid dignity Of th'
parade and the brilliancy of its setting
was precisely what was needed to giv'
vivid objective beauty to the display
Comfort, manifested among other way
by the excellent food-service plan
artistry and security were in unique
fusion.
The city had grand, good time. l
is neither unbecoming nor unwarrantabl.
vain to consider how this was so and t.
express congratulations in which every
body is entitled to share, not forgetting
the street-cleaning department, whicl
tidied up the Uttered thoroughfares wit
record breaking speed.

THERE is nothing the matter with
- Scranton. Five hundred citizens of
that city wished to see the parade of the
Twenty-eighth Division and to welcome
home the Lackawanna county men in
line. When they reached this city they
learned that there was no room for them
in any of the grand stands. So they
built grand stand for themselves in the
night and took their places on it in time
to see the soldiers go marching by.
This is the kind of enterprise that has
made Scranton one of the most thriving
cities in the commonwealth and keeps it
moving forward.

Were Not 81 were trihe exorbi-
tant, but it is crafty
ing to know that Uncle Sam is to be benefited
thereby. A war tax of 10 per cent on the
price of every seat sold is to be collected by
the Internal Revenue Office. The fact is all
the more interesting because of its unex-
pectedness in some quarters.

will not brace up and toll for purpose.
That being SO, they miss the joy of achieve
