COAL AND Mr.. PALMER

rNIIE sudden exposure, through Soloh'i
l. McCain's dispatches to this newspaper,
of unbridlcd profiteering in the hard coa'
industry had one happy and lmmeuia'e
result. You hear less cheerful talk OF tur-
thor advances from anthracite producers
and distributors.
II is highly improbable that the price o,
hard coal will be increased, though goou
many operators seem to have been thinklns
of higher prices. Lower rates, when cleari9
are warranted, may be announced II Az
torney General Palmer can be persuaded u
use the power of his Office and OF existing
laws in the interest Of the general puDilc.
Mr.. Palmer had good reason to know whae
was going on in the anthracite industry
He had the example of the bituminous pro-
duccrs always before him. Many OF the
conditions that made extorton the rule LOT
n time in the soft coal markets are duph-
cated in the anthracite fields of production
and distribution. But 1t happens that the
large purchasers Of soft coal are big ana
efficient industrial organizations whose man
ayers know how to look after their own
interests They compelled showdown
when IL was apparent that they were Delng
bled by the middlemen and gamblers, ana
they compelled Mr.. Palmer to direct gen
eral houscclcaning. Bituminous coal dropped
So n ton within few months 1t Is
greatly to the credit of some of the larger
producers and distributors that they fought
the sharks in the soft coal business
as dctcrmincdly as the attorney general
fought them after he had been driven into
action. They sought to keep their business
respectable.
The organized strength which big business
organizations brought to the fight against
bitumnous profteers cannot be counted
upon in the campaign for reasonable anthra-
cite prices. Hard coal Is bought directly
by individual consumers, who cannot or.
ganize if they would. Between them and
the robber barons stands the attorney gene
raj. Thanks to one newspaperman, who
could not be bluffed or bullied detailed
information relative to the conditions which
have made almost national scandal of the
anthracite business is now in Mr.. Palmer
possession. And we shall see what we shall

Another is the mental side as brought out in

phrase, but it comes back to the same old
story of individuality, and the study of diff
ferent cases so that no square pegs will be
fitted into round Enles.

WILLIAMS TOWER

: GONE courageous friend of humanity
: ~ eager to do service for his kind ought
:. to hustle up through the City Hall tower and
bore a little hole in the statue of William
Penn to learn whether that massive figure is
. made Of metal or plaster of Paris, of bronze
or putty.
People who pass in and out of the court
, yard of the public building every day will
read with mingled feelings of the fifteen tons
of rusted iron bolts and jutting ornaments
recently removed from the upper sections of
the tower. Great masses Of these iron pro-
jections were rotted through and ready to
fall. These same bolts and cutting Orna-
ments' were supposed to be bronze. because
bronze is not weakened or destroyed by the
. action of the elements. And. since bronze
was provided for in the specifications.
!. study of the records probably would show
that the city paid for it.
The City Hall always was and always will
be white elephant of large dimensions. The
actual cost of its upkeep is appalling. Work
was started on the building in 1871. There
are parts of the interior that are not yet
finished. If the time is coming when, be-
cause of the sins of vanished politicians, the
tower will have to be braccd up with poles
we might as we'll get rid of it ut once. For
there is one great disadvantage about the
City Hall. 1t will not make even a pictur
esuue ruin.

HOOVER, THE REAlIST

HERBERT HOOVER'S assertion. madc
IL at the Lafayette -Marne Day exercises
at West Point, that both of the great politi-
ical parties favored the principle of common
action underlying the League Of Nations is
typical OF a mentality unclouded by narrow
rartisanshiD.
r Vast numbers Of Americans amid the heat
: OF political campaign lack such posc of
thought.
The result is that for several months the
league principle has been obscured by a
smoke screen composed of delusory elements
The argument has often departed from essen
t;als and has had It's roots in political sensi-
tiveness.
AS an issue, therefore, the League of
Nations is by all odds the most unsuitable
that has ever entered into presidential
Y battle. In the idea back of co operative
y scheme on behalf of world peace there is
nothing either exclusively Republican or
exclusively Democratic. It is on points of

NEW RULE IN MEXICO
GENERAL ALvARO OBREGON, r

GENERAL ALVARO OBREGON, re-
VI gardcd is 1, 'strong man" and as a
friend of the United States was elected
president of Mexico on Sunday. His vic.
tory at the polls was expected, for 1t is his
faction, to which de Ia Huerta belongs, that
now controls the southern republic. The
rival candidates were Dominguez, represent
ing, it is said, the conservative element, and
Miranda, whose sanity Is suspected.
Whether these men were victims of new
machinery of dictatorship cannot of course
be proved conclusively until detained accounts
of the election are available But prece-
dents in Mexican politics are ominous.
It is unfair to Central and South Amer
ican character to regard it rs hopelessly in
capable of political reformation. Civil war
has rcigned in Mexico since 1913. There
have been heartening evidences lately that
disturbance had about reached the point Of
exhaustion.
That the administration of Obregon, no
matter under what auspices installed, will
succeed in preserving order and restoring
nrogress to Mexico is the genuine wish of
all North American friends of the ncighbor
rcuuhlir.
What we have right to demand Of
Mexico is decent, civilized relations. If
Oregon can restore them on the basis al
ready obvious in the excellent work of de la
Huerta the chances that something like real
democracy will emerge from the new presi-
dents rule will be appreciably enhanced.

FACTIONALlSM IN LOAN BILLS

INDICATIONS have not been wanting
i that the Ware forces proposed to swing
a club over the administration program
for popular loan. The first display OF
tactics in this mancuvering of city finances
appears in Councilman Gaffney's sudden
introduction of $50 900, 900 loan bill yes
terday. The Mayor regards this action as
an attempt to embarrass him and to force
IDEAL for the purpose of obtaining the
two thirds vote required for the passage Of
q loan ordinance. Councilman Gaffney
blandly maintains that the bill is offered
IN the ordinary course of legislation.
The situation provides a test of the SIN
eerity of the so o-called Ware members of
City Council. They can either discuss the
items for the loan bill in the light of the
public interest or they can stand pat on
factionalism and wreck all plans for public
improvements.

0LoUcESTER'S WoEFUL FERRY

WTIIEN the directors of the Philadelphia
w Gloucester ferry announced that they
would abandon their business rather than try
10 meet demand for wage increase fOrmu
lated by their employees they announced what
is in effect strike of employers. 1t is one
of the first strikes of the kind to be declared
IN this part of the country and, on the
whole, it is difficult to quarrel with the
strikers. There appears to be good ground
for their assertion that any attempt to meet
the proposed wage schedule out of present
revenues would lead them straight to bank
p, ruptcy.
The Gloucester ferry has long hauls and
. relatively slim patronage. The Camden bOats
take all the profitable business. Indeed. the
! two big companies which operate from
Chestnut and Market streets could divide
+, literally with thCir poor relation farther
! south and still not go to the wall.
= II the Gloucester ferry is actually aban-
doped. it will be because very important
utility is still unrcgulated. The Gloucester
lines might be lkcncd to strcct-car route
through a thnly populated city area. Yet
the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company
could not operate many of its suburban lines
without the revenues that reach it. from the
profitable short hauls in crowded sections.
Y The ferry service ought properly to be
organized under central direction, with a
ID view to efficient service.
But Deltcr Icn,uy will be found, Of
. course, in a bridge.
