GERMANY'S NEW WAR

OUT of the obscurities of the Baltic
" situation two facts stand out unpleas-
antly clear The Germans in the Riga
region have repudiated the peace treaty
and the Entente has failed to adopt suffi-
GENTLY forcible methods to bring the
Berlin government to its senses.
The immediate recall of General Won
der Goltz, whose troops, acting in con-
cert with alleged Russians" have i'm
periled the existence of the Lettish and
Esthonian republics, is not enough. War
is revived along the Baltic shores in
fragrant mockery of the judgments of
Paris.
The indications that junker elements
in Germany are resolved to Offset with
force in the east what they have lost in
the west are profoundly disturbing.
More than week ago the Entente
threatened to restore the blockade of
Germany unless the armistice and treaty
conditions regarding Courland were OBJ
served. 1t is stated now that the "entire
Baltic coast is virtually blockaded." The
inadequacy of this measure is revealed in
the continuance of the dishonorable fight
ing.
Are the victors in the world war afraid
of Germany in her present condition or
are the Paris diplomatsts waiting for
Mr.. Hoover to appear and tell them what
to do, as in the case of the Hapsburg
manifestation in Hungary?
To the lay mind it seems that the en-
forcement of IA drastic blockade against
Germany would solve the problem forth
with.
Merely to talk about it without acting
is to coddle German duplicity

A WoMAN'S COLLEGE AT PENN

THE promise of fully equipped col
= lege for women under the direction of
the University of Pennsylvania is en-
couragingly stimulated in the plans for
new buildings which Paul Cret has been
commissioned to draw. Moreover, prac-
tical realization of the ambitious project
need not be far off, since the Charles
Bennett foundation fund has now in
creased to more than $1,000,000 and the
Irvine bequest amounts to 100000 more.
The three structures contempated-a
woman's dormitory, home for nurses
of the University Hospital and an audi
torium--should serve to coordinate the
interests of the women students at Penn
along the lines worked out successfully
at Barnard and Radcliffe.
At the present the position of the
"co-eds" is somewhat il-defned. They
are admitted to certain courses in the
University and barred from others. They
deserve a college of their own, at once
part Of the University and yet sufficiently
distinct from it for efficient operation.

VALIDITY OF EXCHANGE TICKETS

THE decision of the Public Service
= Commission that the use of exchange
tickets by the P. R. T., for which three
cents is charged, does not involve dis
elimination against particular sections
of the city thus served apparently vail
dates the legality of the exchange sys-
tenn.
1t thus confirms the position of the
P. r. T. and enables it to bargain with
the city for the abolition of the ex-
changes. The company has offered to
abolish them if the city will in return
give up the sums annually paid to it for
street repairs and for the sinking fund,
The proposition will come before Coun-
ellis for decision in formal shape this

to consider the matter in all its bearings

LIMITING RENTS BY LAW

AN INTERESTING contribution to the
a discussion of the ways for prevent
ing rent profiteering has been made by
K. Clinton Rhoads, of the local bar, in
the suggestion that the principles laid
down by the Supreme Court in the deci-
sions on the granger cases in 1876 apply
to the present situation.
The granger cases, so called by Justice
Field, grew out of the efforts of various
states to regulate railroad rates and
prain-elevator charges. The railroads
had Heretofore charged what they
pleased for carrying freight and passen-
gers, and the grain elevators had exer-
eised similar discretion.
The general principle laid down by the
court was that whenever any person pur-
sues public calling and sustains such
relations to the public that the people
must deal with him. and are under moral
duress To submit to his terms If he is
nnrestrained by law, then in order to
ry&ventf extortiop the price he may
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1919-10-15

charge for his services or for the use OF
his property may be regulated by law.
Since these decisions were handed
down it has become the custom for the
state Legislatures to regulate railroad
rates, street-car fares, the price of gas
and electric light and telephone charges
The principle has been applied in many
states to other enterprises affected by
relation to the public In Maine, for eX-
ample, the consttutionality of law
fixing the maximum fees to be charged
by the owner of grist mill was sus-
tanned. The Maine courts held that a
man might maintain private grist mill
for grinding his own grain without IN
reference, but if he opened his mill to
the public "he dedicated it to public use"
and "became subject to public regulation
and control"
Mr.. Rhoads insists that this principle
can be applied to houses offered for rent.
He would doubtless argue that as soon as
a house is put on the market it is "dedi-
Gated to public use,' as it is necessary
for the public to have shelter just as in
Maine it was necessary for the farmers
to have access to a grist mill, and that
when house is dedicated to public use
in this way at becomes subject to public
regulation and control"
Whether Mr.. Rhoades is right will not
appear finally until a case has been made
and submitted to the courts. If the
courts should sustain his view, then the
way would be opened for restrictive
legislation. Then would come the bigger
problem of finding the proper basis or
standard scale for fixing rents.

their own forces. Had they been paid
destroyers they could not have done
greater havoc in organized labor.
1t is only necessary to listen to John
H. Maurer, head of the Pennsylvania
State Federation, to perceive that the
confusion in the federation is not due
solely to economic iliterates with long
hair. Mr.. Maurer has also lost his head.
He has been informing the world that
there will be a call for a conference of
trades unionists in this state early In
November, with a view to discussing
general strike and forming a labor party.
Now, if the traditional good sense of
Americans is manifest anywhere it is in
relation to political parties. Every party
ever inspired by class interest of one sort
or another has been sneered out of exist
ence.
What would Mr.. Maurer say if banker
were to call all other bankers together
to establish a political party in the ex-
elusive interest of capitalism
Suppose that all the business men were
to join in a convention and organize a
political party frankly intended to give
business interests the right of way over
all other public concerns?
We're we to have lawyers party or
a doctors party would Mr.. Maurer laugh
derisively or make speeches charging
treason and brutal class selfishness?
Doubtless he would do both
The public interest is above every
other interest in the United States and
that is why no political party can survive
that does not have at least the outward
semblance of a general and patriotic
purpose. Yet Mr.. Maurer has solemnly
expressed n desire for labor party and
he, too, talks in the name of the Fedora
tion of Labor.
Any working man or woman who re-
CARDS the federation as a necessary
agency for economic equilibrium must
look with dismay and despair at the de-
vastation being wrought in the organiza-
tion by ignorant and excited men who
still believe that minority can dictate
to free people.
The disclosures at Gary and evidences
ho" oDCalnaDle Oh every sue make IL
pretty clear that organized labor is fre-
quently misled in local movements by
men whose aim is not better working
conditions but revolution
What will the intelligent and conserva-
tive members of the federation do when
they finally realize that their organiza-
tion is being steered to disgrace and
wreckage by few fanatics who toll only
with CAB?

Member of the Associated Press
MOORE TELLS WHAT'S WHAT
MOORE told the Re

n hooNb lOlN lhS w
- publican city committee yesterday
afternoon just where it must get off.
His speech was a calm, courteous as
sertion of his determination to run his
own campaign with the assistance of the
committees which indorsed him for the
nomination, and it was an invitation to
the city committee to cooperate with
him.
He let the committeeman understand
that he did not intend to submit himself
to the tender mercies of men who tried
to defeat him for the nomination, even
TO the extent of violating the party rules
and disregarding the purpose of the
direct primary laws by formally indors-
ing candidate, when their sole duty was
to secure an open and free primary in
order that the voters themselves might
make their own selection.
Mr.. Moore put his finger on the sore
spot in Republicanism here and made it
clear that he intended to use what power
he has to bring about a change in party
practices.
If the party leaders are loyal to the
ticket that now has the sanction of regu-
larity they can atone for what they did
before the primaries. Mr.. Moore invited
them to display such loyalty, but he let
them know that there were penalties for
disloyalty which it would be in his power
to infict.
If they want a fight he is ready for
them.
II they want peace he is equally ready.
It is up to each man to decide for him
gelf.
Not in many years before has such a
straight-from- shoulder speech been
made to the men who have dictated party
affairs. 1t ought to do them good.

I HAVE MADE SONGS


THOUGH l have made you many golden
song,
Hymning your lovelness in artful rhyme,
No one OF these but does your beauty wrong
And stands libel for all listening time
Dusks, i have said, are clouding through
your hair,
And earth's old twilights linger where
you are,
Dreamss l have said, have made your eyes
lair
For largess brought from some old ruined
star.
Yet, all of this is but a faltering art
OF futile words that strain beyond their
reach;
And still about your image in my heart,
.Trembles the cloistered silence closed to
speech
A tempted shrine, dim and holy place,
Where no least word profanes your lifted
face.

LETTER
Effect on Yachting Of the Free chesa'
peake and Delaware canal--eosslp
About Rabbis Levlnthai and
krauskopf, John c. Bell
and Others
Washington. Oct. 10.


WORD reaches us that the opening of
w the Chesapeake and Delaware canal,
free of tolls, is putting life and spirit into
the yachtsmen who have been accustomed
to use the waters of the Delaware and the
Chesapeake. The barge men and small sail
ing craft owners have already become ac-
quainted with the new order of things and
are using the canal freely. Samuel r. Kent,
of the Union League, who simply cannot
get over the boat habit. tells of schooner
captain who started up the plank with
S4I.16 to pay tolls in the usual way only
to make the startling discovery that Uncle
Sam was doing it and that the Chesapeake
and Delaware Canal Company was out of
business. Rumor has it that the Chesa
peake is likely to become popular sailing
ground for such Philadelphia and Atlantic
City navigators as Senator Penrose Colonel
James Elverson, Jr., and Commodore Louis
ii. Eisenlohr, and that by the same token
the Delaware bay and river are beginning
to look good to some of the big yachtsmen
of Baltimore and points south. Rumors of
this kind make a deep impress upon some
of the modern old sea dogs like District At
torney Samuel =. Rotan and Vice Com
modorc Edward Il. Smith, who recently
made a .pcrilous run from New York around
the Barncgat shoals, and ]. S. Lowering
Wharton. John Kent Kane and Kern
Dodge, who sometimes seek the smooth
waters of the Chesapeake as a soothing sub
stitutc for the rock ribbed harbors of New
England.

Fifth avenue tailor asserts, in the full
ness Of his pride, that "to sell such clothes
as these on Broadway or on side street
would be a mcsallidnoe, because they are
aloof from the mob. There's not trace of
mobbishness about them"
Not trace of mobbishness, perhaps; but
more than trace in the tailor of something
that rhymes very well with mobbishness.
