A "DRlVE" REGULATOR

T IKE so many enterprises of ideal
- istic and unselish origin, 'drives"
have been grievously and materialisti-
cally abused.
That il is better to face the facts than
to permit sentiment 10 stand In the way
Of regulation is evidently the opinion
Of Major Wynne. chief of the district
attorneys detectives. who informed the
Chamber Of Commerce committee on
public welfare and charity the other day
that thousands Of dollars are collected
in this city every day by persons rep
resenting or claiming to represent some
charitable organization.
His suggested remedy is a licensing
system whereby each organization col
lecting from the public must obtain
authority from the city, Application to
be accompanied by statement Of re-
ceipts and expenditures for the preced-
ing year. sources Of the money and the
amounts paid to the promoters.
There is little doubt that council
manic ordinance such as he proposes
could perform real service to a gen
rrous public. besides insuring authentic
protection for "drvc" campaigns that
are really worthy and deserving Of sup
mort.

"NONPARTISAN"

THE nomination Of Samuel W. Nc
l. Call. ex governor Of Massachusetts,
to membership in the United States
tariff commission, sheds an interesting
light on the character Of the President s
"nonpartisan" appointments. Although
nominally Republican, Henry White as
a peace commissioner was not generally
regarded in G. o. p. circles as likely to
be unsympathetic to Mr.. Wilson's in
ternationsl policies.
Mr.. McCall's championship of them
has been emphatic for some time. His
Republicanism on the subject Of the
treaty and the league is very far from
the brand developed by Senator Lodge,
and it is even said that the ex governor
was partly responsible for the defeat
for re- election to the Senate of John
w. Weeks, favored by Mr.. Lodge as a
coadjutor in 1913.
Should this situation result in the
rejection by the Senate Of the Presi-
dents latest appointment the tariff
commission would be deprived Of the
services of an expert. Mr.. Mccall was
long n member of the ways and means
committee during his congressional
period, and there is no question of his
knowledge on the complex subject OF
imposts.
II is customary, however, for the
majority party in the upper house to
turn down nominations distasteful to
it's senator from the state from which
the selection is made. A row would
probably emphasize the fact that the
Presidents 'impartiality" is always
strongly tinctured with practical sym
pathy for his own principles.

WHAT MAKES A RESIDENT?

rTyHE decision by the Board OF Regis
4 Il tration Commissioners that Se te
Senator David Martin, who lives IN
Holmesburg but rents a room at l92o
North Sixth street, has a right to vote
In the Nineteenth ward is an exceed
ingly loose construction Of existing laws.
/: Many of the most distinguished per-
sonai factors In Philadelphia activities
and the development Of the city dwell
IN the suburbs, and there they exercise
their right Of franchise. By the logic
.s pplied in Senator Martins case these
'.men could at least argue that their pos
session of property in town entitled
.ithem to change their political residence
and register as Philadelpbians. 1t is
ilikely, however, that such contentious
would be unheeded. A political boss
enjoys rights which the general public
lis by no means bound to expect.
Y The situation raises the question OF
when is a Philadelphia LIT a Phila-
/; delphian, and the answer is. as usual,
vague. 1t will not be cleared up until
::the law is rewritten in accord with the
\ dictates of common sense.
\. To bar from registration here subur-
ban voters who are Philadelphians in
( fact and in virtually all their interests
Is to be technical at the expense Of
reason. 1t is time such Inconsistencies
were ended and that an act were passed
authorizing the owners of property in
town to vote here il they choose and to
.:exchange country for city franchise.
4. The flaw in the present arrangement
As not so much that Mr.. Martin can
! establish a residence wherever he ap-
!. pears as owner or lessee, but that he
as a professional politician enjoys ex-
elusive privileges. All property hold
ers who would rather be Philadelphians
/ than anything else ought to be recog-
& snized as such.
';i A clear and sensible amendment of
the registration laws by the next Legis-
4 latnre is in order.

He has many imitators there, but the
French have no illusions about the rela-
tive merits of their comedians and the
beloved "Charlot."
And the "Far West" always spelled
with a hyphen, where Douglas Fair
banks has his adventures. is the most
interesting part of America to France.
Every Frenchman will ask you, And
lust where is the Far Vest?
You have difficulty in telling him
just what is the geography of this region
Of marvels.
And it is best to leave him With the
idea that the United States consists OF
two sections. of one of which Chariot
gives faithful representation. while the
other, toward the Pacific coast, Is the
land where Douglas Fairbanks's scenes
are an everyday occurrence.
OF course, there is another part Of
America, where all millionaires' daugh-
ters. enjoying an astonishing degree of
freedom, love and marry poor young
men.
This is the serious side Of America.
Naturally a people so phenomenally
rich as ours could not devote all its time
to falling off cliffs, being held up by
robbers in stage coaches or chasing each
other madly about hotels, bathrooms and
restaurants, colliding msdly with
walters, upsetting tables and trays.
There must be some place for rising
young men to rise in the world by means
of the dot. of course unconventionally
available. otherwise who would believe
t. to be America?

THE GREATEST QUESTION

NOR years the American Academy of
L Political and Social Science, which
has its headquarters in this city, has
contributed as much as any other agency
to the advancement Of social, economic
and political thought in the United
States. II maintains forum in which
the best of enlightened criticism finds
free and complete expression. Art,
science, business, politics and foreign
affairs have been viewed from all angles
at past sessions of the academy.
And 1t Is interesting to observe that
some of the best Informed minds in the
country have been engaged at the pres
ent meeting with questions that remain
unsettled between capital and labor.
The academy's program carries the
tacit admission that these are, for the
time being, the most important ques-
tions in the world.
A summary Of the opinions expressed
by men who are seeking light rather
than pleading in behalf Of any group
would indicate belief among the ablest
and most impartial observers Of eco
nomic trends that labor has not been
getting the squarest Of deals In many
important industries, and that abuses
tolerated by employers have led to
abuses by labor itself 1t is contended
now that some Of the labor organiza-
tions have swung. largely in self de
fense, to the imperial mood. The right
Of labor to organize and to agitate in
its own behalf Is upheld. But the dis
position Of labor leaders to exercise an
authority from which no appeal can be
made In the interest Of Co operating
classes OF society is seriously qucs-
toned. Thus 1t is suggested that public
officials are responsible to the cleo
torate. Business organizations are re-
sponsible to the courts and to public
opinion. Labor in its present mood
acknowledges no power greater than
its own.
The ideal economic state, as It APP
pears to men who. have been discussing
it's causes before the academy, would
be one in which unions would recognize
and bear the responsibilities that &c
with power and authority and submit
their causes for impartial settlement be.

not Of one class but of all classes.
