is equality of regulation. This has been at

by public officials who were freed from the
necessity Of running the ships so as to
make profit. IL we are to pay any
deficits, there are many persons who are
convinccththat IL would be more economical
for the government frankly to adopt the
subsidy policy and pay fixed sums directly
to private owners Of vessels than to meet
the indefinite deficits which would certainly
arise from the management of steamship
lines by public officials.
The solving Of this problem is of vital
concern TO Philadelphia, for the greatest
shipyards in the country. IL not In the world,

pandcd under the impetus to shipbulding
given by the war. Unless tho building Of
ships is to continue shipbuilding will sink
back to the state in which it found itself
when the war began, and when another war
breaks out we shall find ourselves dependent
on the ships of other nations to handle our
trade. 1t is certainly not beyond the power
OF our lawmakers to frame n statute which
will keep the merchant fleet on the seas.
There should be moral courage enough in
congress to pass such n statute after it has
been framed, regardless of the mouthings of
the dcmagogucs

THE LEGlON'S VICTORY

TINE pride which Commander D'Olicr ex-
pressed in tho American Legion now
holding its second annual convention in
Cleveland. inevitably finds an echo through
out the nation.
The legion has been n great success. In
the material sense this was. of course to
have been anticipated. An organization of
American participants in the world war was
certain to become impressive in point of
fanumbers. But it j.. before all else. the spirit
: of this society of young veterans" its sane
patriotism and keen sense of values which
so thoroughly commend it to public appro-
baton.
r Despite historical traditions and analogous
precedents. the legion has not played politcs
1t has, as Mr.. D'Olicr emphasizes with par
donable satisfaction made n "virilo stand for
the maintenance of law and order" has
spurned frcaliish radicalism or rcaCtonary
militarism. II has kept its head and the
public's confidence. The test of character
has been magrifcCntIy mot in the avoidance
of political pitfalls, and. while the interests
of the survivors of the largest American
army ever raised have been Safeguarded,
the legion has not been stained by greed or
the self seeking common to specially or
ganized groups.
Not the least Of the interesting features
Of Commander D'Olier's remarks was his
reference to the lrgion's Gown league of ma
tions. n proposed amalGamation toSnclude
the soldiers organizations Of the United
States, the Great War Veteran Association
of Great Britain and the Union Of Fighters
of France"
So far as the Europeans are concerned
It is not likely that this fusion will be ad-
Enthusiastically deep. But the conception is
inspirational, worthy Of the ideals which,

court must go through the formality OF
asking the assessors to list them. IL these
requests are made thirty days before the
November election and are refused, appeal to
the Judiciary may then be made setting forth
the circumstances of these attempts. The
court is then entitled to act in each case
separately or in a group of cases having the
same facts.
In this manner a possible escape from the
disfranchiscment resulting from failure to
be listed by the assessors sixty days before
the election is provided. The act suggesting
the way out was passed in 1895. Why ref.
crCnce was not made to il earlier is puzzling.
As it il, the belatcd course of relief out
lined calls for speed and energy on the part
of women electors. Those who are really
desirous of securing the right to register
this fall have only until October to pre-
sent their petitions in proper form.
II the court is considCrate of exceptional
conditions the petitioners will not have
lahcred in vain. Sympathy for the women
who are genuinely anxious for recognition
is. however. hard to extend to their sister
citizens Quicsccnt regarding their assess
mput opportunities or lax in registering. The
original. wrongly framed petitions, which
were thrown out amounted only to 1000.
Out Of about 45O. 600 women electors in this
CITY only 90 600 have thus far registered,
and several hundred thousand have made no
effort whatever to repair the assessment
omissions.
Undoubtedly. the case Of the petitioners
would be more impressive were it repre-
sentative Of the great numbers of the newly
cnfranchised class destined to lose their
votes on November ..

LUMBER lakes A DROP

2S PER CENT cut in the wholesale rate
"A Of rough lumber is a symptom of a highly
important sort. The announcement by the
Wholesale Lumber Association is pretty sure

building supply trade. If the groups who
influence or make prices in the cement and
hardware market can follow the lead of the
lumber men we may be said to be approach
ing a rational solution of the whole ques-
tion of housing in this country as well as
stPadCr condition in the world of labor
For once talk has proved to be- of some
use. Talk about housing has filled the air
for months, and for some weeks most of it
has been unfavorable to lumber producers
and distributors. At a convention of archi-
tccts and building engineers in Atlantic City
the ruling powers in the building supply
trade were called profteers and gougcrs
4 few days ago Governor Smith of New
York, formally demanded legislative probe
TO determine whether tho costs of lumber
and other building materials were being held
up by artificial methods. The charge that
a combine had been formed to maintain war
prices in the building material markets was
first made voluntarily by Samuel Inter
meyer.

Even metal and concrete construction is not

1t is logical to expect that bricks cement
and similar materials may soon be brought
again within the reach OF builders. The
stuff has to be moved, and it is not moving
now.
Better advice than that just sent out by
the chiefs of the building trades department
of the Federation of Labor was never offered
to any group of wage earncrs in this
country. Members of the building trades
unions are requested to avoid strikes and to
do all that they can to encourage a building
revival by overlooking petty differences
which often in the past have led to costly
breaks with the employers. The public ex
poets the producers and distributors of
building material to be reasonable 1t does

THE NEWEST OF EVILS

MORE than once il has been observed In
AVA these columns that the habit of group
organization for special ends is spreading to
dangerous extremes in this country, and in
each days news there Is some evidence 70
Justify this view. Do YOU fancy yourself
better or more deserving than your neigh.
borE DO you feel neglected? Would Won
attain something that you would not share
with the other fellow or achieve a sort of
power and influence in affairs that isn't to
be attained by plain, every day work and
perseverance? Then organize Hire press
agent. Give Nour group a high sounding
name with flavor of patriotism in II and
you will have temporary advantage of sorts
over tho common crowd. That sort Of thing
tends steadily to breed class consciousness
and class suspicion. and it tends to divide
the people into thousand conflicting groups.
But. is not everybody doing it?
In view of what has been happcning
among workers. business men. politicians,
theorists, writer's actors. artists and n hun
dred other sorts of people. il isn't surprising
to hear that some gentlemen in Washing
ton are preparing TO organize n Union of
the Public. DIR. Henry f. Jackson. who
for some years was associated in the work of
the nited States Bureau Of Education. Is
seemingly the genius Of this new and divert
ing scheme. Here. then. is the organizing
mania carried suddenly to the ultimate
point-to denial. by implication. that the
democratic system is efficient or dependable
For If there is anything of virtue in our
present forms of government the public must
be regarded as organized already, and thor.
oughly organized. 1t is one big union
Mayors, members of municinal councils
county and state officials. the members Of
the Congress, the cabinet and. finally. the
President of the United States are the
officers in n union of the public established
at the beginning and intended to protect
tho rights and privileges of each individual
Has Doctor Jackson something better up his
sleeve? Have the other men who are or
Ganzing and rcorganizing all the various
groups and ClasSiiCatons of citizens some
thing better or more just than the union of
aims and hopes intended by the constitu-
tion of the nation and the constitutions of
the various states? .
If union of the public is necessary, then
something is radically wrong somewhere.
One may suspect that a union of the public
isn't needed and that it is not desirable
If anything is wrong it is with Doctor
Jackson and men of his sort. Keep on
organizing Americans into sections and cross
sections, classes and ciQucs, unions for this
and unions for that. and you will certainly
destroy the national strength that can come
only with real unity. You will have con =
glOmeration Of small nations, separated not
by natural boundaries but by suspicion and
prejudice. You will prove either that you
are too good for democracy or that dcmoc-
raCy is too good for you.

Takes Lessons to Heart
This lesson of restraint, of maintenance
Of our poiSc, our equilibrium over the small
nnnoyanccs of life will not be lost on the
child. who will speedily learn the value or
holding in check his emotions for the really
big moments in life. The child is quick, to
notice, for instance, the slip OF the tcachcr
who loses his control over n comparatively
tritiing annoyance. and the control OF that
teacher over the class is thereafter more or
less lost
''Ihe idea that all the worlds a stage,
where each one in his turn plays many
parts, will also be imprinted on the i'm
preSsionable young mind. and he will learn
the value of doing anything he may attempt,
both large and small. well.
At the present time we are actually
trying to get these results. In one method
the idea is inculcatcd by having an able
reader. probably professional. or at least
ono well equipped, read n play to the chill
drcn with suitable comment. This has
proved a very effective method and one
which many of the children like.
Then there is the plan of having
number of the children read excerpts from
play aloud, with criticism by both teacher
and pupils. The most obvious way, of
course. is to give play in costume, with
the children actually playing the parts. The
results in this way have been quite sur
prising.
I'm the higher schools and to n lesser
degree in the elementary schools the idea
of play construction has been tried with
varying degrees of success. For the most
part they will be asked to dramatizc a short
story or novel, although original work is
not discouraged. Then again to develop
their powers of dramatic criticism they are
encouraged to attend performances of seri-
Gus plays and to write their opinion of
them. Some of the pupils are tempted to
elaborate or try to improve on the criticisms
in the daily papers and with a considerable
degree of clcverncss. but they generally give
themselves away and after few expert
ences try TO think for themselves.
"Thcre is no question that great deal of
attention will be given the appreciative
faculty in the child in the days to come,
because it is obvious that he is not only
raising. the. level of dramatic culture, but
is performing for himself the service of
making of himself a better educated better
balanced, wiser and more effective, we'll
rounded man."
