1T is UP TO THE MAYOR

COUNCILMAN HALL has perceived the
~ weakness of his gas ordinance increas-
ing the price ten cents a thousand feet to
the consumer, for he has announced that If
It should be vetoed by Mayor Moore no
effort would be made to pass it over the
veto.
This puts the responsibility for construc-
tive action straight up to the Mayor.
One strategcally wise course for him to
pursue now will be to ask Council to recall
the ordinance. This will save the face of
the men who voted for it. Then he could
renew his request that Council appoint
committee TO join with the City Solicitor
and the Gas Commission in comforting with
the L. G.. |. over new lease which shall
make a permanent settlement of the Qucs-
tions at issue.
As a preliminary to the negotiations It
would be expedient for Council to authorize
the postponement of the July payment due
from the gas company pending revision Of
the lease. This would relieve the immediate
financial necessities Of the company. 1t
wosbd exhibit to the managers of the L.
G.. I. disposition on the part Of the city
officials TO deal fairly with them and it would
pave the way for an understanding that
would be fair to every one.
II the lease should contain the provision
for a periodic readjustment of the price of
gas, as recommended by the commission,
the way would be smoothed for gas at
seventy five cents a thousand cubic feet or
less eventually as the cost of raw materials
falls and as methods of manufacture are
improved.
The matter is now In the hands of the
Mayor and It looks as If he could do with It
what he wills.

VACATION BY CANhlBOAT

EDWARD Nj. MULHEARN, Il Carbon
IL County lawyer. who is planning n vaca-
tion trip on the Lehigh and Delaware canals
from Mauch Chunk to Bristol. will utilize
one Of the unapYeciatcd resources of the
country.
The canals once were used for passenger
travel. but since the railroads were built
they have carried little but freight. Yet
they run through picturesque country. pass
ing towns and cutting through meadows and
pasture land.
A generation ago company Of young
artists hired grain boat, fitted the hold
with cots and, curtains and the deck with
awnings and spent two or three weeks on
the Delaware and Raritan and the Morris
and Essex canals, and one Of them wrote
about it later in one of the magazines. But
their example has not been generally fol
lowed
The canals Of the eastern part of the State
and of New Jersey are still filled with water,
and the Erie canal. connecting the Hudson
River with Lake Erie, is wide and deep
enough for boats which would run aground
In the canals in this vicinity. These water
ways are awaiting the vacation parties, and
they can give 10 them glimpse Of a kind
of life with which few are familiar.

HARDING WINS ON OIL

TNHE Presidents letter to Chairman Ford.
l. ney, of the Ways and Means Committee,
vas u suggestion that Congress take a
broad rather than a narrow view of the OF,
situation.
Certain independent domestic producers of
oil have been complaining that they cannot
compete with the Mexican producers so long
as Mexican oil is allowed to come in free
of duty. 1t was in response to these com
plants that the Ways and Means Commit
tee put an oil duty in its draft of the
Tariff Bill.
The President reminded Mr.. Fordney tha:
the Administration is seeking to protect
American rights to oil in the undevelopeh
oil regions of the world. lie asked that
the oil provision of the Tariff Law be so
drafted as to permit him to bargain with
other Powers on the oil question.
Mr.. Hardng's reasons were SO potent
that the House Of Representatives sitting as
a committee of the whole at once removed
the oil duty paragraphs from the bill yes
trrday. This leaves the way open to re.
draft the paragraphs in the way indicated
by the President Then the negotiations of
Secretary Hughes over Mcsopotamian oil can
proceed as conditions justify. In the mean
time the domestic producers will be pro-
tected TO certain degree by the export tax
on oil levied by Mexico.

LEGISLATIVE FOOLS

WHILE a vast and bcnrfcent gulf sep
w aratcs legislative measures proposed
from legislative measures enacted the former
are often worth attention as indices of the
autocratic temperament.
An extreme manifestation of this kind is
now recorded in the French Chamber of
Deputies in bill aiming at the suppression
of what is described as 'anti- militarist
propaganda Presumably the Junkers aud
Chauvnists and Jingocs will be privileged
to proselytize and campaign ms much as they
please. 1t is their critics for whom the gag
is planned.
While it is hardly conceivable that such
a measure will actually be adopted in the
republic which formulated the Rights o.
Man." the situation is serious enough to
have alarmed Anntole France, the ironist,
and Henri BHrbusse, the denunciator, of
modern civilization,
Tie spiritual kinship Of these eminent
writer's Is probably by no means deep and
certainly their literary methods are utterly
dissimilar, They speak, however, a common
tongue in their signatures affixed to tho
manifesto protesting against barefaccd
attempt at tyranny.
Judging from the character of the bill AMI
viewing II from safe distance, 1t seems
that fools are miFchieyously active In
France. But for individuals Of like type,
1t is hardly necessary TO look across the
ocean.

CRIPPLED WATER SYSTEM

THE bursting of important water mains in
L several sections Of Philadelphia yesterday
cannot be dismissed as exceptional. II is
needless to disguise the fact that only i'm
provements on a comprehensive scale will
be sufficient to reduce the frequency Of such
accidents.
Central Philadelphia especially is af-
ficted with q water distribution system
Anticipated in equipment and unequal to the
great demands upon it. Chief Davis repeat
edly has pointed out the necessity of gen
erous appropriations for the betterment of
the municipal water supply, which is hand-
capped not only by decrepit pipes, but by a
reservoir system which regularly breaks
down in times of prolonged drought.
The process of patching has been severely
strained. Expenditures for water supply
lack ornamental appeal. Clamor for mod
ernizing the system seldom arises until the
damage is done. OF late years mshaps. ac-
companied by specific dangers, have occurred
80 often that postponlng large scale reform
becomes peculiarly dangerous sort of
trifiing.

SAFEGUARDED AT LAST

TT is welcome news that the preservation
l. Of the old City Hall and Supreme Court
Building at Fifth and Chestnut streets will
no longer be left to the somewhat uncertain
mercies Of chance. The contract for restora-
tion work. which has just been awarded by
Director CavPn. calls for an expenditure of
S47. .945 in safeguarding the structure. rem
dering it habitabe and placing it as nearly
as possible in conformity with its original
appearance.
II is worth noting that the previous Ad-
ministration paid its respects to the shrine
chiefly by futile discussion. Meanwhile the
building suffered increasingly rapid degen-
Grafton until it's condition today constitutes
a serious shadow upon the historic self
respect of the community.
Fortunately. the work so long overdue
will be started not only at once, but under
the direction Of experts competent to revive
the charm of the structure and at the same
time to Offset the blight of anachronsms.
The plans have been prepared by the Phila-
delphia Chapter Of the American Institute
OF Architects, which has previously displayed
Its protective hand in Independence Hall.
When the repairs have been completed the
most historic block Of buildings in the Ma
tion will be worthy of It's patriotic inheri-
tance and will, in addition, be memorable
ms an exhibit of Colonial architectural beau
ties in their finest flower.

A COUNCILMAN BLUNDERS

TOUNCILMAN HALLS abilities as a
~ political leader fail to shine conspicu-
ously In the dispute that has arisen con-
cerning the naming Of the city's new recre
alton grounds at Tenth and Rodman streets.
Representatives of nine leading Negro
church congregations already have taken the
Ware henchman Of the Seventh Ward
severely to task for his opposition to COM
memorating the fame and inspira tional career
of Phillis Wheatley, the first American poet
Of the colored race, by giving her name to
this playground.
The movement is likely to grow. It's fit-
ness was promptly realized by Mayor Moore
who dedicated the center to the memory of
the remarkable slave poet Of Colonial times
one day last week.
Mr.. Hall asserts that the matter Of nomen-
clature is for City Council alone to decide
and somewhat heatedly insists that Charles
Seger' shall be the designation of the play
ground. His efforts to perpetuate the mem
ory Of a gang ward boss has aroused the
force Of sentiment, which is sometimes sutfi :
ciently potent to destroy even the most
strongly intrenchcd political traditions.
The Negro citizens of Philadelphia are
offended by Halls tactics, and their gricv-
ance is justified. Council will reflect public
sentiment by lending it's official sanction to
"Phillis Wheatley Center" though tinhorn
politicians may sorrow over n tribute to n
vanished brother.
Occasionally there is more in a name than
u dreamed of in Ware philosophy.

GOLDEN RULE IN POLITICS

WHEN Mrs Barclay Warburton told the
w members Of the WOmen's Republican
Club. the organization Of which was per-
fected yesterday, that there could be nothing
better than the golden rule in politics. she
was, perhaps, little wiser than some Of the
women who heard her.
The purpose of the club Of Republican
women is TO interest the newly cnfranchiscd
voters in politics and to teach them how 10
make their wishes effective. II is to in
clude as many women in all parts of the
state as can be induced TO take part in its
work.
IL the women take Mrs. Warburton's $ ad-
vice and do unto others In politics what they
would have others DO unto them the men
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1921-07-19

will discover In the course Of year or two
that there is a powerful new force at work
with which they will have to reckon.
Although IL mo- not have occurred to
them, every successful political leader who
has retained his power has followed the rule
to which Mrs. Warburton has called at
tention. Every boss takes care Of bis fol-
lowers because he knows that IL he does not
they will not take care of him And the
followers fight for the boss because they
know that IL they do not he will not fight
for 'hem. In this way political orsaniza-
tions are built up.
The theoretical reformers may say that
the organization is held together by the
cohesive power Of a common appetite and
that the golden rule has nothing to do with
1t. IL they refer to the high spiritual quali-
ties of that famous formula they are prob
ably right, but the practical virtues OF 1t,
as used by the politicians, are what make
the task Of the reformers difficult.
The mutual determination Of the members
OF any group Of persons to stand by one
another for a common purpose is what makes
organization effective. 1t concentrates at
tention on the objective and thus reduces
friction to a minimum. s..
