WHEN FALL BEGINS

A III. summer long
n My world was wrapped away
In leafy folds of living green,
Which way you looked no house was seen,
No glimpse OF curvfng gray
Where winds the road.
All summer long
The valley seemed we'll
OF seething green and depth untold,
Where sunbeams sunk their shafts Of gold
And not bird would tell
What lay below!
Now thinning boughs
Reveal a hidden wall
peering chimney -top-sa roof
No longer can live aloof:
My neighbor's nearness calls,
And / must heed.
Through bronzing boughs
The chill white mists arise,
And soon from every chimney throat
The smoke from evening hearths will float
And I will turn my eyes
To watch the roadsa

JOBS AND JUDGE BROWN
Next Legislature ought to curtaIi the
One Man Political Power Of the
Municipal Court President

Municipal Court President
GOVERNOR sPROUL and Mayor Moore.
~ in their consideration of a legislative
program for Philadelphia might we'll direct
attention to the autocratic power Of
appointing employees which the act of AS
sembly Of 1913 placed in the hands of the
president judge of the Municipal Court.
This court. as an intermediate branch of
the state judiciary, is most useful institu-
tion when its activities are devoted to the
alleviation of harsh social conditions and the
speedy settlement Of lawsuits comparatively
minor.
But those who are best qualified to appre-
ciate the intensive kind of social service
which the Municipal Court can render have
long been alarmed at the growing Importance
of the president judge as a political power.
From time to time. therefore, it has been
suggested that the Legislature modify the
provision of the act which gives the prcsi-
dent judge the sole appointing power. Presi-
dent Judge Brown controls absolutely the
large and expanding patronage.
1t is urged, therefore, by many students
of the situation that the power of appoint
ment be vested in the whole board of judges.
Political commentators see a deplorably sig
nificant and close relationship between this
power of appointment and such bits of cur
rent news as these:
Judge Brown appoints Ware man."
President Judge Brown rides with Sena.
tor Penrose."
Judge Brown confers with Mayor Moore
on loan bill.
In view of these facts Of common knowl-
edge. il would - surprising IL a general
feeling did not Exist that Judge Browns

Of patronage as the result Of the inclusion
of an item Of 81 600 for one minor
ing loan ordinance And naturally the
conclusion suggests itself that the judge ex
poets substantial political support when his
ten year term expires and he is up for
election three years hence.
As things stand now, Judge Brown occu
pies the paradoxica position of being
CLOSE" to both United States Senator Pen =
rose and State Senator Ware. and as events
indicate, Mayor Moore is obliged to yield
him full consideration just because the Judge
has at least one loyal ally in City Council
Perhaps the friendly relations between
Judge Brown and Council explain why both
Ware and administration leaders in Council
joined to raise the sum in the loan ordi
nance to be allotted to the Municipal Court
from $500. 900 to 81, 900. .OOO-the first step

A revision of the legislation governing the
Municipal Court, which in practice as well
as in theory would remove this branch o!
the judiciary from the soilod arena Of fac
tional politics. would help to develop
healthier political conditions in this city.
