proportion Of the product Of his hands
cannot safely be disregsrded.
Much Of the discomfort Of labor has arisen
because employers In too many instances
have regarded man as merely a tool to be
used and cast aside without any regard to
his rights as a human being. It was In
order to protest against that sort Of thing
that Congress was induced to put in a re-
cent law the explicit declaration that labor
IL not commodity. The expression would
have been more precise IL It had been said
that labor is not merely commodity, for
II Is well known that the price of labor huc-
tuates with supply and demand just as the
price Of wheat Auctuates. The words In the
law mean that workingmen must not be
treated as wheat or pigiron or brick Is
treated.
The remarks Of Mr.. Gompers may be re-
gardcd as a plea for the establishment OF
more humane relations between employers
aud employees, to the end that they may
more intelligently work together to increase
production and to adopt improved methods
Of manufacture. II industrial friction Is to
be decreased 1t must be by the adoption OF
some such plan.

A SkIRlNE'S BIRTHDAY

A LTHOCGH Christ Church is antedatcd

this city. notably the venerable Gloria Del
at Weccacoe aud Trinity Church. Oxford. it
yields to few In traditions and historical dis
tinction. The week of exercises that began
in the gravcly beautiful old edifce on Second
street yesterday is, therefore, worthy OF
more than passing recognition. There is
inspiration for a variety Of tempcraments
within the shadow Of the building where
Washington worshiped.
The anniversary now being observed marks
the beginning of the Protestant Episcopal
Church in the original city of Penn. Two
hundred and twenty Ave years ago a modest
wooden structure was erected on Second
street above Market. The present church
was begun in 1927, and its spire, long the
pride of the city, was completed in 1874.
Fittingly enough, modern progress has not
entirely encroached upon the ancient tower 3

from the Delaware river, the quaint stccple

The charm Of Christ Church is far more
than merely academic or antiquarian. 1t
Is among the prime factors in the intrin-
stcally intimate appeal Of Philadelphia.

ExTINGUISH THIS DEFICIT

IF AT this late day any further proof OF
- the need Of ap endowment fund for the
University of Pennsylvania were needed Il
could be found in the latest financial report
OF that institution.
The year that ended June 30, 1920, was.
eomparativey speaking. a prosperous one.
Yet with huge student attendance, with
gifts amounting to nearly 81 900. 900, with
An appropriation Of about half that sum
from the state, a deficit Of some 500 900 re.
mains. Under conditions Of growth which
attest significantly the high position attained
BY the University in the educational activi-
ties OF the country, the books fail TO balance.
Dependence on state aid or the generosity Of
Individual benefactors is not enough.
An endowment fund obtained through a
properly organised campaign is the obvious
remedy. The Pennsylvania Gazette in a
recent issue pertincntly suggests that action
rather than debate is in order, and calls at
tention to the fact that the nucleus Of an
alumni fund was started in 1917. But mo
publicity was given to it and even the donor
forgot about It."
There Is no reason to believe that If n
eally enterprising start were made the
graduates or former matriculates Of the Uni
~ersity would be less responsive than those
Of similar institutions. Once a drive for
Pennsylvania acquired little momentum,
the chances of its failure would be exceed
ingly remote. At present. promptness in

WHAT IS MONEY WoRTA7

CHER1FF LAMBERION > suggestion
~ that the law be amended 80 as to permit
money lenders TO charge per cent interest
for loans on real estate mortgages need not
be dismissed with contempt.
The sheriff has sensed the fact that there
is a market value for money just as there IL
for every other commodity. Its price varies
with the fuctuation Of the supply and OF the
demand. But in Pennsylvania we have a
law which arbitrarily fxes the maximum
price which may be charged. Everybody
knows, however, that the law Is evaded. AZ
the present time It is understood that tho
usual fee charged for securing mortgage
money is 10 per cent. This amount paid for
securing five- year loan at per cent will
brinR the annual interest charge up to
per cent. the figure which the sheriff sug-
rests shall be fixed by law as the maximum.
His proposition opens up the question OF
the wisdom Of fixing any arbitrary price for
the use Of money. There are theorists VINO
insist that It is q mistake, and they argue
that the interest laws, no matter what pen
alties may be fixed for their violation, do not

value Of money Is recognized In the interest
laws. A legal rate is fixed and con-

CIVILIAN ARMY CONTROL

GOSSIP. which played with the name OF
VI General Leonard Wood in connection
with the secretaryship OF war in Mr.. Hard

Of General Pershing.
Mr.. Harding has not decided who Is to be
his secretary Of war That much can be
taken for granted at this time. When he
comes TO a serious consideration Ot the sub
iect he will doubtless remind himself Of the
fnct that Il has been the almost universal
custom to put civilian at the head OF the
War Department
There has been n persistent objection to
allowing a regular army officer to direct,
under the President, the military policy Of
the nnt;on. Even when We have been at war
we have had a civilian secretary. Edward
NJ, Stanton was IA lawyer. When the war
ended and We had II lot of great generals
available, General Grant served In John
sons cabinet for short time as an ad

n little while by General SchONHld. When

General Sherman AS his secretary of war for
lsss than two months. Every secretary since
then has been civilian. Among them have
been Elihu Root, William II. Taft, Daniel

nothing of the distinguished pacifist, New
