THAT IMAGINARY MANDATE

THAT group of ro-league Republicans
i who have written to Lord Robert Cecil.
Of the League of Nations Union, protesting
against statements that the election OF
President Harding was a mandate against
the league, have done only what was ex-
pected.
1t is notorious that Il large number Of
influential Republicans voted for Mr.. Hard
ing because they believed that the entrance
OF the United States into the league would
follow his election. Hundreds of thousands
Of plain citizens. with 10 influence beyond
their vote, supported Mr. Harding-or voted
the Republican ticket-for the reason that
they were convinced that it would be i'm
possible for any Democratic President TO
persuade the Senate TO ratify the league
covenant in any form, and that with
Republican President. confronted BY the
necessity of adjusting the relations Of the
United States to the rest OF the world, the
covenant would be ratified in some form.
These citizens resent Colonel Harvey j
assumption that when the nation gave Mr.
Harding a plurality of 1000, 900 votes 1t
rejected the league. 1t did no such thing.
The foreign observers who have visited this
country in recent months have returned
home with the report that there is very
Otrong sentiment here in favor of league
condition which is patent to the most
casual listener TO the remarks Of his fellow
citizens

the execution of the policy must be central
ized in the hands of the executive. the Gov
ernor. There must be a real budget installed.
And there should be plenty of publicity,
information both for the State agcn-
cies so that they shall net from scientific
knowledge, and for the public so that they
may have a real basis for holding the Gov
ernor responsible to them.
"If such a system is to be installed in
Pennsylvania the preliminary study must be
thorough and expert. Any ex oficio com
mission must work under handicaps that
should not mar the results Of the invcstiga-
ton. Furthermore, the partial revisions that
have occurred from time to time-as for in
stance, the establishment Of Public Wei
fare Dcpartmcnt-are apt to hinder the final
outcome, unless there is first a complete
plan Of reorganization on which to model the
specific piecemeal changes Finally, there
should be established a bureau Of admins
tration, as was recommended in New York.
This bureau would be staff organiza-
ton, ready at all times to investigate the
workings Of the line departments and to
suggest notifications. This, together with
q provision in the Constitution that new
activities Of the Government shall be as
signed to existing agencies. would serve to
maintain the organization of the State Ad-
ministratiOn on a level where productive
service was continuously attained efficiently
and economically, for the profit of the
citizen stockholder.'

COUNClLMANlC PIFFLING

UyHE interest of the members of the City
J. Council in street improvements in their
districts is understandable. They wish 70
remind the voters at the next election of the
amount of public money which they have
diverted TO new pavements and new sewers
for the benefit of the district. Instead OF
taking a comprehensive view of the needs of
the whole city, they concentrate their atten.
ton on their own little bailtwick.
While their attitude is comprehensive,
II Is not defensible. The same sort of thing
is the curse of Congress, where the atten.
tion of Representatives is directed toward
getting as many new postoffr-es and court
houses as possible and q big appropriation
for the deepening Of little rivers of no i'm
portance to commerce. Enough money has
been wasted in this way to have completed
the great Mississippi River scheme Of i'm
proyements and to deepen the Delaware for
the accommodation Of ocean going ships OF
the largest size.
1t Is proper that the program for street
improvements should be made after consul
tation with members of Council. They are
supposed to know as much as any one about
the needs of the parts Of the city in which
they live. But when the streets of the
whole city need attention, public money
ought to be spent first on those streets which
will serve the greatest number of persons.
The main arteries of travel must be put in
good repair before the feeders receive atten-
tion, and the little streets that serve only
neighborhood convenience must wait until
after the moro important work is done.
Certain members of the Council, however,
have begun to interfere with the admirable
program OF the Bureau of Highways and
they are pursuing piffing policy unworthy
Of broad minded men. exactly the kind Of
policy which if persisted in will lead TO a
demand that the charter be so changed as
to provide that the Councilmen shall be
chosen Mt large on general ticket voted for
by all the electors in the city. Such a plan
would remove the incentive to log rolling for
local improvements TO make the politicians
solid with the voters.

HUMANISMS

HERBERT COREY. the war correspond
IL ent, used to be just an everyday re
porter out in Ohio and was quite well
acquainted with young Harry Daugherty,
an energetic politician of the great state
even a quarter of century ago. Corey
came down to Washington the other day TO
talk to his old friend.
"Daugherty," he said, summing the man
up in sentence, never won political
fight luntil last fall and never lost a
friend
Corey met the people who are around the
attorney general today, associated with him
in his work. They are the same men, he
says. who were with him twenty years ago.
There was the time back about 1898 when
Daugherty was candidate for the Repub
liCan nomination for Governor of Ohio.
Everything looked bright for him the day
before the convention. newspapcrman,
who was an old friend was talking to him,
was saying that his nomination was in
evitable. 1t was a big help to Daugherty
to have the newspapers take this attitude
on the eve of the convention.
But Daugherty knew they We're wrong.
He knew that Hanna had him marked for
sacrifice. So he led this newspaperman
aside and said to him.
"You have a reputation as political
prophet. 1t will help me it you say that
am to get the nomination, 1t viii hurt
your reputation, however, because it will
not happen You better say ] am to be

NEW STRENGTH IN THE ENTENTE

DARTISANS Of Aristide BRAND and
David Lloyd George respectively may
be expected to explore in detail the question
Of victory in the Silesian controversy, which
for brief space threatened to mar the
processes Of reconstruction In Europe.
This point is, on the whole, more interest
ing than important. Pledging renewed
fidelity TO the Treaty Of Versailles, the
British Prime Minister stood intrenched be-
hind Gibraltar of sound argument. This
fact has somewhat obscured the fantastic
suggestion that his nation might be forced
to sanction the use of German troops to
suppress the disorders.
IL was this proposal which primarily en-
ragged NJ. BRAND, prompting him to language
which paralleled Mr.. Lloyd Georges in ex-
travagance. Both leaders, lavish in their
reliance upon conditional clauses and nu
merous ifs were equally moved to con-
slider political prestige at home. g.
In the meantime, Great Britain, realizing
her obligations, has dispatched troops to the
disaffected territory. DR.. Wirth's Govern
ment in Berlin has promised to close the
frontier between Germany and the plebiscitc
district and to disarm German bands now
in Silesia. Korfanty, the Polish insurrec-
zionist, has fallen back upon the guarantees
Of the Versailles pact and agreed to with
ui"", tue lUJerhllleu SoulIhlSslOu
attends to its responsibilities.
These are the aspects Of the situation
which are really significant. All forecast a
rational and authoritative settlement Of the
dispute.
Whether Lloyd George intimidated Nj.
BRAND or vice versa is different and less
vital matter. The French Premier, chal-
Longing the imperialists, who have been
urging invasion of the Ruhr and open sup
port Of Polish ambitions in Silesia has
cmphntically announced his loyalty to the
general peace treaty. This is a gratifying
swing toward the Georgian program. The
British statesman has maintained silence
on the question of employing German troops.
BRAND point Is scored here.
The recession from impossible positions
on both sides presages new acquisition of
strength and harmony for the Entente.
There is a general impression that the new
German Ministry intends to play the game
squarely and frankly.
Hopes of genuine reconstruction are at
last sighted. History is certain to take
more account of this circumstance than of
the heated charges and counter charges of
two political leaders, each partly intent on
the complexities Of domestic politics.
The next STEP which must soon be made
unless oil these auspicious preliminaries are
to go for naught is decision by the Inter
allied Commission on the results of the
Silesian plebiscite. 1t was procrastination
here which permitted the German Polish
tension to develop into a crisis
