THE CHARTER UPHELD

THE language of the charter regarding
= political contributions by policemen or
Hremen Is definite and emphatic. The pro
hibitory clause rating the practice as n mis-.
demeanor was devised to end. without rcscr-
walton or amendment. n long standing abuse
and specific agency of political corruption.
Mayor Moore's support Of this reform has
been consistently uneQuivoral and sincere.
As the current political campaign draws to
a close he has reiterated his previous warn
ings, pcrtincrtly pointing ont that the law
is in reality n protection Of the city ON
ployes. who frequently wore bull"d into
parting with some of their hard earned pay.
The Mayors stand is indeed the most
convincing proof that the charter is not
merely a collection of amiGblc sentiments,
but vital instrument of good government
and clean politics. and that the executive
will do his utmost to have the offenders
punished should the corrosive practice be
covertly revived. That his firm attitude en-
joys popular support is unQuostionablc.

FUSION CONFIRMED

PROSPECTS for a hcartening novelty in
l. councimanic contests are increased by
the court rejection of petition fled against
the Democratic nomination of James Gal
lagher. candidate for the First district seat
left vacant by the death Of William r.
Finley. Mr.. Gallagher Is n fusion cnndi-
date. sponsored by the Moore forces organ
lied as the South Philadelphia party and
Democrats other than those who serve as
masks for the Ware machine.
Naturally, the protest against his nomi-
nation came from such n source. for the
sham Democrats in this city have long been
zealots in the service Of the most unsnvory
political interests. In consequence balance
of parties, obviously conducive to good gov
ernment has often been lacking here.
The Gallagher candidacy suggests a vel
come change. Charles J. Pommcr. on the
Ware ticket. may conccivably BE- defeated by
the combined votes Of the decent Democrats
and the Moore electors His record a. Il
petty politician is typical Of the machine
which named him. Mr.. Gallagher Is a bust
ness man, heretofore little identified with
politics. though recently n warm supporter
Of Mayor Moore.
The election of this fusion candidate would
deal a very emphatic blow to Ware control
IN the Council. His nomination. now thor
oughly authorized, is highly significant in
principle and it Is possible that out Of n
contest rated ms minor there NAV be revived
n broader policy Of fusion capable Of trans
forming political Conditiona in this city.

SO far as possible. they should be made to
encourage business rather than to penalize
It. The Democratic policy has been to pun
ish business wherever II raises its head The
Democratic statesmen have devoted them
selves for years to denouncing every enter
prise which was successful. They have
talked Of railroad trusts and money trusts
and the bedcvilmcnt OF the country by Wall
street. The legitimate child Of this sort Of
talk was the bomb which was exploded in
Wall street last month.
When business bears It's fair share Of tho
burdens of government we all prosper.
Prices then adjust themselves to wages and
wages and salaries are large enough to enable
the men receiving them to support their
families in comfort.
We should have had relief from the present
oppressive taxes long ago II the Democrats.
while they were In control OF Congress, had
not fastened them on the country for two
years. The determination Of the Repub-
lican leaders is to revise the laws before the
beginning Of the next fiscal year, no that
consumer and producer alike may be relieved
at the earliest possible date.

JUDGE BROWN: SPENDER

CLEARLY il will not do to let Judge
~ Brown carry his plan for $4,000, 900
palace Of justice much further. The aston
ishing budget OF the Municipal Court pub
lished yesterday after II had been submitted
Mt Council session makes II apparent that
even 80 rich n city as Philadelphia could not
afford the sort Of tribunal de luxe that Judge
Brown has In mind.
The palace on tho Parkway would be a
strange place, indeed. II it were to be ad
ministered on the scale suggested by the
Municipal Court payroll There are now
nearly ten stanographcrs for each judge. II
justice were 10 be dolcd out in a palace
charged with regal atmosphere there would
have to be twenty or thirty. The whole list
Of jobs would be expanded, Of course. and at
future sessions Council would be asked to
appropriate for some hundreds Of wipers and
assistant wipers of the judicial pens and n
few score Of shouters and assistant shouters
for the judicial taxicab.
The Municipal Court. though now only
In Its beginning. appears to spend more
than twice as much money as is required for
all the other city courts. Enlarged and
glorified, Il would be place worth travelling
many miles to see. Unless those who run 1t
change their minds and abandon the i'm
perinl mood. there would have to be cham
berlains and assistant chambcrlains, euuer
ries and first. second and third guardians
Of the magisterial inkwcll and polishcrs and
assistant polishcrs Of the judic'al sprctacles.
There are eighty s,cnoGraphers now en-
ploycd, or at least drawing pay. in the now
court. In the palace Of Justice there would
have to be at least 800. What clatter they
would make! But what a marvellous place
of refuge the beautiful building would be for
the faithful from all tho wards

QUARRY DANGERS

THE danger Of abandoned quarries within
L the city limits is once more brought to
official attention by the appeal of the Had
dngton Taxpayers Association to the Fair
mount Park Commission. The demand in
this instance is specific-for tho filling up Of
the deep pool existing within the Cohbs
Creek Park area-but the principle deserves
general application
The quarry menace, especially nerilous to
children. is to be found in many sections Of
PHILADELPHIA. often in the outskirts. As
these districts are built UP the posS blitics
of drowning accidents are obviously increased.
The remedy, as municipal undertakings go
nowadays. is not nmbarrassngly costly. The
Mayor has already promised his support Of
the movement TO end one particular death
trap caused by neglect. His interest could
be proitably extended to the general sttua-
tion.
Abandoned quarrics. like grade crossings.
are tragically out Of place in a progressive
city

"The pathological work here at present is

formerly one Of the most virulent diseases

II am and always have been. however. an
exponent Of natural care of animals rather
than medicinal. | mean by that. the neces-
sity of good food, plenty of sunlight, chances
for play among the animals so inclined, and
good. clean air. Such conditions often act
to prevent the beasts from ever requiring
medical treatment. Just recently the Phila
delphia Zoo has been testing another plan
that of keeping the animals out of doors as
much as possible. Instead Of close stuffy
buildings, we let them enjoy unlimited air,
and even in the winter time we have sue
ceeded in keeping many tropical animals,
such as monkeys in outside cages.

NU31E days since a distinguished educator

adjunct of teaching methods in every up to-
date public school in the country.
Heretofore lantern slides have been used
in many schools, public and private. in con
nection with instruction in geography, his

The growing popularity of motion pictures
in the same connection has led to the i'm

supplant the lantern slide as q method Of

The evidence is quite to the contrary.
