accentuated and stirred by such scene
as has just been enacted in London.
The two peoples--or the one race, ac-
cording as the matter is viewed--cannot
go far wrong with Lincoln as com.
mon ideal; may, indeed, actually become
the co operative and mutually beneficial
saviors Of civilization that they some
times rhapsodlcally picture themselves.
That England has discovered the
true Lincoln" is hardly to be granted.
In our humber moments and in the
light of much conflicting testimony we
are sometimes uncertain whether his
personality is definitely fixed at home.
If the English have in a way Britt
cized him, as they are apt to do with
some of the good things Of this life
which do not happen to be strictly
theirs; IL they have overemphasized
some established traits at the expense
of others. the procedure is typical-and
harmless.
Merge this Lincoln with ours and he
may become the safeguard of two great
nations. For the man who thought and
acted so unselfshly for one people, is
there a nober destiny?

STATE AFTER HIDDEN FUNDS
AudItoro General Wants Unclaimed
Bank Deposits of $2.ooo,ooo

Harrisburg, July 30.-(By A. P,D-
Steps to secure for PENNSYLVANIA prob :
ably 5000. 900 Of unclaimed bank de-
posits and trust funds are now being
taken through the auditor generals de-
partment under the various escheat
acts. Indications are that within a
year approximately S2,00O,OOO will be
obtained.
Collection of the money was started
few years ago under supervision of
Frank NJ. Eastman, special attorney,
and S12S 900 has actually been col .
lected with S12 900 more in process of
settlement. Virtually nothing has been
obtained from Philadelphia but tha,
city will contribute large part of the
$3.50, 900 of unclaimed funds of SIO
or over and of the like sum Of money
in accounts under SO now being ad ;
vertised.

$50 900 advertised last year and, nm :

SIGNS OF PROMISE

of a downward ten
i dency of prices for food and cloth
ing are seen by Charles Calwell and e.
Pusey Passmore, two well-known bank
ers Of this city.
Il They say that the old law Of supply
and demand seems to be operating. The
demand for clothing fell off because of
the high prices. As a result the raw
material of clothing accumulated. Wool
Is selling for much lower price than
at any time since the war. There IS
surplus stock of leather which must b."
sold at lower price If it is to be dis
posed Of. This will mean lower price
, for shoes in time. There is a bumper
crop of wheat, which means cheaper
bread; and the cotton crop IS good
which means lower cotton goods.
It will take a little time, however
for the falling prices on raw materia
to be reflected in the retail prices of tn,
manufactured articles. Present stocks
must be disposed of at the old price:
before low priced new stocks ar,
bought. But the tendency is down
ward. When the transportation facili-
ties are improved so that there can be
. more speedy delivery of goods there
will be a return toward the conditions
which prevailed before the war. and
business then will adjust itself to the
satisfaction of every one, provided, OF
course, the Federal Reserve banks con
tinue the work of defation begun a few
months ago.

TOO MANY EMPLOYEES

WHEN 1t is known that 1876 persons
w who receive nearly $780, 900 a
year are employed in keeping the City
Hall clcan-the Civil Service Commis-
sion has Just disclosed this interesting
wonder that they have to pay $2.S5 on
every 800 of the assessed valuation of
their property.
The City Hall is cleaned as all public
business IS done. The private business
man is compelled to consider every item
Of cost in order to make a profit. If
ho does not make profit he has to go
into the bankruptcy court, But the
public officer never has TO consider n
profit, If there is a deficit at the end
Of the year an appropriation from the
pockets Of the taxpayers covers 1t and
the public officer does not suffer because
Of his wasteful methods.
II is notorious that the City Hall Is
filed with useless employees kept there
for political reasons. The condition
prevails under reform administrations
as well as under administrations which
make no pretensions to reform. No one
has found way to end it.
The Civil Service Commission, under
the authority of the charter, is at pres
ent engaged on survey of the public
offices for the purpose of rPclassifying
the employees and discovering the mum
Der Of men needed to do the work. The
information which 1t will obtain will be
submitted to the Mayor and his asso .
ciates for their guidance. 1t is assumed
that the commission will indicate It's
views regarding the number of employees
needed to do the work, Then it will be
up TO the Mayor to clean out the super
fuous men.
He has been complaining because he
finds it difficult to get rid Of men whom
he wishes to discharge, but if he intends
to reduce the force to the size actually
needed to do the work it Is not likely
that he will find the Civil Service Com
mission standing in his way. A reduc
tion in the force would save the tax
payers hundreds of thousands of dollars
year, or would release money tha,
could be used in employing policemen
enough to cover the city. ).

CET-RICH-QUICK PONZl

THE short and spectacular career of
4 Charles Ponzi, of Boston, an Italian.
who says he has made $4,000 900 for
himself and untold millions for others
since last December by dealing in de .
preciated foreign currency, recalls the
case Of Hundred per cent Miller, Of
Brooklyn, who landed In Sing Sing
prison few years ago.
Ponsi has suspended operations at
the request OF the Massachusetts au
thorities so that they may inquire into
his methods. He promised investors a
\return Of 80 per cent within four
months, and thus far he has kept his
promise but the authorities find It difi
cult to believe that it is possible legally
TO make such profits. Ponzi, however
explains that he buys deprecated cur
rency with currency that has not de
preciated, and then buys postage stamps
with the proceeds and sells the stamps.
When Ponzi was asked why he did
not keep the profit all to himself instead
Of allowing the public to share ii with
him, 1ie Fs@Rens were not convincing.

AN EXPLANATION NEEDED

As THE facts are disclosed, that
"A school bond fiasco seems TO need
more explanation than it has received,
The Board of Public Education could
not sell the bonds for the reason that
there were no bids.
Then Mr.. Gratz suggested that the
public spirited citizens who were in
terested in securing an increase in pay
for the teachers should buy the bonds.
And now George Wharton Pepper,
acting chairman of the committee Of
citizens who interested themselves in
the matter, comes forward with the
statement that the original proposition
of the committee included the under
writing OF the entire loan, but that the
offer to guarantee the floating of the
loan was denied.
Under the circumstances. it Is not
surprising that teachers are asking for
better explanations concerning the fail
ure to float the loan than have yet been
offered.

MORE MONEY FOR MOTHERS

THE women in charge of the admin
L istration of the mothers assistance
fund in this county are convinced that
the policy on which the distribution of
money to women with dependent chill
dren is based is sound. They have seen
II in operation and they know that il
has kept many families together which
would otherwise have been broken up.
But they have been Handicapped by
lack of money. They have had AL
applications for assistance thus far this
year which they were unable to grant.
They are asking for larger nppropria.
ton next year.
The money will not be appropriated
unless they can convince the Legislature
Of the wisdom of continuing the system
of paying the mothers for the care Of
their children who would otherwise have
to be sent to public institution.
The surest way to convince the legis.
lators is to show them what has already
been accomplished and to point out what
happens to the mothers and the chill
dren when they are separated for lack
Of money to maintain a home.
