MO ONE but the contractors will regret
IN the decision OF Mayor Moore to abandon
altogether the letting Of contracts for clean
ing the streets.
Since January 1 the city has been clean
ing the streets in two of the thirteen dis
tricts IL bought the equipment and It
hired the men, and IL has been doing the
work so satisfactorily that the wisdom OF
the charter trainers is indicated.
1t has been said that il will cost the city
500, 900 less than the amount OF the lowest
contractors bid to do the work in the two
districts. This will go long way toward
paying for the equipment used.
Fortunately. the charter provisions are
unchanged and the Mayor has all the power
which was originally conferred on him. He
is empowered to have streets cleaned by
the city itself and he may use his discretion
about asking for bids to guide him in est
mating the cost of the work. Tho attempt
to compel him by legislative enactment to
ask for bids every year and thus to keep
the question of contract work open, failed
when its purpose was disclosed.
But II guardians Of the public welfare
had not been nlert the proposed amendment
to the Charter would have been sneaked
through the Legislature. The contractor
influences were back of it, but when those
influences discovered that there were
stronger forces opposed to it they abandoned
the bill.
The contracts in the eleven districts con
tain provision that they NAV be voided
on October / at the discretion Of the city.
1t has not been definitely announced whether
the city is to exercise this discretion OH
October l or not but there is general
expectation that IL will do so. 1t will then
nave the unexpended balance Of the appro
pr1ation to carry It through until January l.
1t will be foolish and futile for any one to
start backfre against the plan by objecting
to the entrance of the city into this form
OF public work. The issue in Philadelphia
is not what has been loosely called public
ownership. 1t has been the issue of the
domination of the city by politicians who
secured contracts from it and who used
their political power to increase their con
tract profits. Any expedient which would
break the hold Of the contractors would
have been justi6able.
The men who dra fled the amended Charter
provided for the simplest way out Of the
dilemma. They argued that the wav to get
rid Of the contractors was TO get rid of the
contracts. The experiment has not been in
progress long enough or on broad enough
scale to justify any conclusions about it's
effect upon the contractors. But it has
demonstrated that the city can do the work
better and more cheaply than it was don"
under the old system.

WHY Mr.. HUGHES DECLINES

N matter of purely European concern,
Secretary Hughes informs the Poles who
had solicited American interference that
such action would be contrary to our tradi

winch Governments Of the Old World are
either loath or chroncaly unable TO com

There is another reason for our aloofness
from the Silesian dispute upon which Mr..
Hughes said nothing. The disposition of
the trouble making territory is intrusted by
the Versailles Treaty TO an Interallied Com
mission, from which we are excluded because
of the very simple fact that we are not n

ernment desired to share in determining the
fate of Silesia. il could not officially do so.

FRANCE AND MIlITARlSM

A L1HOtG statisticians are admittedly
n clever chaps, it has been wisely OBJ
served that their juggling with figures is
occasionally productive of curious perver-
sions of the truth.
At the present moment. when French
Imperialism is the favorite bogy of the
alarmists, the adaptablitr Of the obliging
statistical experts to the alleged needs of the
situation is manifest Imposing columns
of figures of British origin have been sent out
from Washington showing that Europenu
armies of 5000. 600 men are controlled by
the Paris Government
Until related with facts. this disclosure
10 shocking. 1t appears, however. that the
sum total is reached By including the mill
tary establishments of Belgium. Czecho.
Slovakia. Poland, Rumana and Jugo-
Slavia, with which France is said to have
concluded agreements
Upon n similar basis of reasoning it can
speedily be proved that the armies of the
United States far exceed the limits set down
by Congress. The majority of South and
Central American republics hastcned to co
operate with their Northern neighbor in the
world conflict, and it is not inconceivabie
that in another great crisis like sympathies
would be displayed.
Ordinarily however the most lnmboyant
boosters among us refrain from bolstering
up our military strength with the Brazilian
Peruvian or Uruguayan armies.
French imperialism is undoubtedly an un
pleasant reaction of the war. But it cannot

was the inspiring lesson that a number OF
new citizens learned recently at an i'm
pressive ceremony in the Mayors office.
when some Of the foremost people of the
city not only welcomed them fittingly, but
took them by the hands and made them feel
that they were one Of them. Edward Box

hand experiences of the possibilities that
the country offers the desirable alien.

bring additional laxity. but that the re-
quirements may be made higher. We should
stir up and awaken the minds OF our new
citizens to preparation for citizenship
Schools and other agencies should give them
sense of the dignity and Importance Of
Americanism and fill them with wholesome
desire to become citizens.
"Amercanzation should not be regarded
in the spirit OF a fad or revival, but
should be treated consistently and compre-
hensively. The ceremony of becoming a
citizen as a critical moment in the life of
the alien should be invested with as much
dignity and impressveness as possible.

BELATED LIGHT SAVING

THE request of the railroads for time to
i adjust and publish new timetables in
accordance with daylight saving is justified
by special circumstances.
, 1t should be emphasized. however, that
June or even Nay is not the right month
for setting the clock ahead. The change
should be made hereafter either in late
March or early April in fact, as soon as
possible after the vernal equinox, and the
system should be maintained until equality
OF astronomical days and nights ensues
toward the end of September.
The late start in prospect this year is
infinitely better than none at ALL but 1t
saould not be accepted as a precedent.
The Federal Light Saving Law capital
lied to the best advantage the long days OF
most of spring and all of summer. The
rescinded act is well worthy of imitation in
the voluntary plan favored by Council.

DISSECTION has been raised by the Fur

of this city to the 10 per cent luxury tax

BIoNESS Is NOT GREATNESS

DHILADELPHIANS interested in main
l. taining the medical prestige of this city
need not be disturbed because of the arrange
ments in New York for uniting the Pros

mcnt Of Columbia University.
This concentration of effort will not Of
itself add to the facilities for medical educa
ton or for hospital treatment in New York
1t is merely a rcadjustment of organization
and administration.
The failure of the proposed merger of the
Jefferson College here with the University
Of Pennsylvania did not decrease in any
particular the ability Of the institutions Of
this city to care for the sick or 10 train
physicians and surgeons.
There are certain advantages to be gained
by combination Of effort, but they are chiefly
administrative. The greatness Of a medical
school and n hospital does not depend on its
size, but rather on the ability Of the specia-
lists attached to its staff The attention Of
the managers of such IN institution properly
conducted is concentrated on the kind of
service which it offers and not op its size

size will take care of itself.
