Italians Welcome in South.

Southern cotton growNrs are en-
courasinS Italians and other i'm
migrants to locate in the south, and
especially to take up share cropping"
said J. D. Ewing, of Memphis, at the
Raleigh. They find that the Italian
especially is a much greater pro-
Queer than the colored share cropper
and is more dependable. The shortage
| of COlored labor. too. has proved a
serious problem the last two years.
The war took a great many colored
men from the south, and many of
them on returning to the United
States preferred the high wages paid
in northern factories and the attrac-
tons of city life to the farm
Wages were high enough in the
south last year and are still higher
this year." Mr.. Ewing continued

the Arkansas and mississippi cotton

colored family of five to make, $50 q

operation with the schools, finding out just
how much schooling each child has had, and,
after we accept the care Of the mother, just
what marks are made by her children.
''We tell the latter that their schooling is
their job, and that it is up to them to
pass their work, just as it would be to do
satisfactory work in position. We try to
impress them with the fact that the state is
not giving them charity, but is being repaid
by the work they do in their classes. AS
n result we find that the marks Of such chill

the city as n whole.

A TRIBUTE TO PHILADELPHIA

THE approaching transfer from New York
- to Philadelphia Of the headquarters Of
the Railway Business Association is a trib-
ute to the strategic position which this city
occupies
The association. composed of manufactur-
ers. merchants and engineers selling goods
or services to the railroads. finds it conven-
lent to have its chief Office within easy reach
Of Washington ard also in a great city in
touch with the railroad headquarters Phil
adelphia is two hours nearer to Washington
than is New York Two great railrnad SyS-
TENS have their main Offices here and we are
only two hours from the Offices Of other ma.
tional railroad systems in New York.
The national shipping board discovered
the advantages Of this city before they were
discovered by the Railway Business ASso-
citation. Its Offices were first in Washing
ton. But although it was building ships in
various parts of the country, it removed its
Offices to Philadelphia because it could be- in
more direct contact with all the shipyards
and because the chief shipyard in which its
work was going on was here.
When all the great manufacturers here
follow the example Of some Of the mos, en-
terprising and have their chief selling Offices
in their home city the whole community will
begin to reap all the advantages that can
accrue to it from the industries in which the
working people earn their living

A CHOCOLATE SOLDIER

A NET of some sort has closed suddenly
"A on young Felix Daz, and so another
firebrand that might have inf1amed Mexico
and troubled the United States seems to
have been permanently extinguished.
The arrest of Felix, nephew of Porfiro
the Terrible, announced recently by the
federal generals at Vera Cruz. is culmi-
mating incident in one Of the wild melo-
dramas that crowd each other on every page
of Mexican history. And it ought to draw
attention again TO the manner In which
revolutions are made and continued south
Of the border. The wars you hear 80 much
about seldom begin on Mexican territory.
They are hatched in Paris, as rule, or in
Buenos Aires, in London or in downtown
New York.
Felix Diaz was taking his ease in Europe
and he enjoyed some fame as a bouevardier
in Paris when Huerta's government fell
upon evil days. Until then Felix had no in
tention of returning to the land which his
uncle once ruled with an iron rod. He was
neither good soldier nor n good statesman.
But he had his name, and it was a name
that frightened and fascinated every Mcxi-
can 1t was reminiscent of power and
cruelty, of immeasurable strength ruthlessy
applied in the old days. Say 'Daz' to any
Mexican and you move him to something like
superstitious reverence and awe.
When Huerta seemed about to fall it was
announced that Felix Diaz was on his way
from Europe and that he would land in
state to greet powerful group of partisans.
The government at Mexico City took ex-
traordinary pains to keep him out of the
country. But Felix got to Cuba and one
day he landed suddenly on the west coast Of
Mexico. He wore a uniform and he was
met BY a good many of Huerta's enemies,
and in a day he became the hope of all the
opportunists of various climes who sit in
Dolitical anterooms waiting like buzzards for
what they can snatch out Of one national
disaster or another.
Who brought Diaz from Europe, who paid
for the ship that took him to Mexico from
Cuba, who put up the money that bought
arms and uniforms for his aides and his fol-
lowers no one seemed TO know. But the ad-
venture led to nothing. Felix got nowhere
with his war. He lived In state with clan.
Successive cabinets hesitated TO order his
arrest. and since it became apparent that he
could not seize the government he has been
irving to sell his name and his good will to
the new regime.
villa was a brute of sorts, but he was
consistent bandit. He was not afraid Of u
fight When II seemed to him that the new
government was willing and able to do half
right by the poems he retired with a flourish
like a stage villain. Between Villa and
FELIX Diaz there was an immense difference.
Villas followers were the ragged and illit-
crate hordes.

vide the sort Of protection which the public
expects and receives from other utilities OF
n similar nature. Thus II Is necessary that
those who own and operate taxis be bonded
in order that their patrons may be safe
guarded against the results of negligence or
other faults in the service. The larger taxi
companies provide this protection. Many
independent operators do not. 1t is the duty
of the police and the Service Commission TO
see that provision is made to compensate
users of taxis in cases of accident and that
no part Of the business in question is left in
the hands of privatccrs of doubtful char
acter.
But if il is the intention to lessen com

city those who might improve taxi service

companies that now monopolizc most Of the
traffic the commissioners will be in the midst
of an unpleasant uproar before many days.

TAXI REGULATION

ID EGULATION Of the cabs called taxi,
~ now proposed by the Public Service
Commission after a long survey in Philadel-
phia, will not be SO easy matter as il may
appear. That part Of the public which, be-
cause Of necessity choice or good luck rides
in taxicabs has been squeezed in the past by
monopolies on one hand and independent
Saxicabbies on the other.
There is ground for the belief that there
Is need for reforms at the top of the business
ss well as at the bottom And it Is hard to
zoe how the mere restriction of licenses will
do any good. Rates for taxi service have
always been high in this city. What Is
ussded Is more competition and not less of it.

GOOD AS FAR AS IT GOES

nIRECTOR CAVEN announces that hs
has made arrangements to buy fifty six
pieces of street cleaning apparatus and 100
horses as soon as the City Council appro-
PIRATES the necessary money.
The apparatus will be used for cleaning
the streets between South street and Colum
bia avenue and the Delaware and Schuylkill
rivers.
The iirector estimates TINT it will cost the
city $3.50. 600 less to do the work in this
district than the lowest bidder offered to do
II for. And he nlso estimates that S400, 900
will pay for the equipment needed. At the
end Of the year the city will have the equip
ment. so that next year il will begin to
profit by the great economics in doing its
own street cleaning.
These figures justify tho estimates made
by those who have been asking that the city
clean all the streets and collect the garbage
and ashes and all other rubbish instead of
letting out the work on contract. And it
makes it difficult to understand the reasons
which have led the administration to post
pone carrying ont the plain intent OF the
charter. No adequate explanation has been
offered. We have neither been told that II
was enthusiastically inexpedicnt nor have
we been assured that il was financially i'm
possible.
Director Cavens estimate of the saving in
the central part of the city seems to indicate
that the financial part Of it would have been
most profitable to the city. Under the ar
rnngement the contractors are to get the
profits in other parts Of the city and the
date when the city itself VII take over all
the work is to be left indefinite
Meantime. City Council which must act
positively in favor of the contract system to
permit Director Cnvcn to carry out these
piecemeal plans is still debating whether or
not to take the step allowed under the
charter
