NO JOB FOR WOMEN

0NE or perhaps two women are pretty
~ sure, after all. to be elected to the
office of city magistrate. The orders are
out and the bosses are eager to recognize
the women vote and to hold it in line with
a few scraps of patronage. This sort of
appeal to the newly enfranchsed voters is
characteristic of the men who have made
it. Were they more sincere than they are
they would have refused to help in electing
women magistrates.
AS we have said before, magistrates 8
court is no place in which a woman may
preside with comfort or dignity. 1t is a
vcstibule to the underworld and. in, too
many cases. vestibule to the gehenns of
gang politics \ magistrate who does not
wish to be n disappointment to political
friends cannot do full justice in his court.
Women ought not to sit in magistrates
courts for the same reason that they should
not be permitted to mine coal or dig bitches
or do other dirty work which men have
always done, and because of an instructive
feeling that women should be spared its
rigors. The experience of the first women
magistrates will be enlightening. at least.
But they probably will not be such as to
tempt other women to seek the Office in
the future. The present system ought to
be abolished.

WOMEN AND The FIGHT

TT OUGHT to be a matter Of interest to
i the women of Philadelphia to observe
that the plans of The Fifty Fifty campaign
are being laid and perfected without any
apparent thought of them.
There are enough women voters in Phia-
delphia to turn the tide against the two-
headed gang even il no help was offered by
the unattached men voters. But the Fifty
Fifty leaders seem to feel assured that
women will not take the trouble to exercise
their right at the polls.
All factions and parties in the present
election preliminarics have found that the
woman vote cannot be Systematically or
ganized. The Wares. the independents and
the Penrose leaders have failed in the effort
to mobilize feminine sentiment We shall
see what we shall see. But it is necessary
to admit that equal rights mean equal re-
sponsibilities. In the future the women
voters of the city will have to share part
of the blame when municipal affairs are mis-
handled and when the municipal Govern
ment is GcbasPd to serve the interests Of
looterS

LUNATlC FINANCE

TT Is fashionable to suppose that frenzicd
/ finance had its origin in the United
States. That delusion is due TO the work
Of the early muckrakers. French fnanciers
in Turkey and Russia, the British Walling-
fords in Africa. German oppOrtunists in the
Balkan countries of the pre-war period
made the work of the shady American
munger seem relatively tame and harmless.
FrcnZied finance, as we know it in this
country and even as it appears in the cul-
minating efforts of the Missionaries who, with
LeoL0uartcrs in Chicago. were preparing
iran Of international scope for greedy and
uninforIncd investors, never led to war and
international cOntiagratOns. You cannot
sov AS much for the frenzed finance of
prc-wa Europe,
II Is mistake to suppose that the worst
aspect of the art Of Walingford is reflected
in the current exposures at Chicago. More
dangerous by far than the occasional big
,cbnmcr are the schools of lesser sharks
which continue to prey on the ignorant in
yn,tor in almost every American city, de-
.r,itc all that reputable bankers and brokers
can spv or do. These people manage to
l.,r inst within the law. They hold out in
i,oro.jnv offices. frequently enough. Their
odyrrtisiug is rejected by reputable news

REGISTER TOMORROW

CITIZENS weary of the repetition of in
~ functions to register voters have
the remedy in their own hands When the
public is fully aroused to the necessity Of
enrolment clamor upon this theme will i'm
mediatey subside.
Electors entertaining the faintcst interest
In national affairs seldom need to be in
structed concerning the date on which
presidential contest is settled. The intor-
nation is subconsciously absorbed and it
sticks. Interest in the registration dates
ought to be equally inevitable. Franchise
temporarily lapses unless the simple act of
formally qualifying for voting is performed
once a year.
Need it be repeated that the first of the
three registration days on which members
of this community are privileged to confirm
their right to participate in the November
election occurs tomorrow? Unhappily. yes.
Experience has shown that thousands OF
citizens arc disfranChsPd annually through
Indifference to a simple preliminary duty.
The other two days fixed for registration
this year are September 6 and 10. The
hours of business in the division polling
places are from to 10 in the morning and
from in the afternoon until 10 nt night.
Tomorrow will be an index of the in
terest which the forthcoming contests, mostly
local but of prime importance. have aroused.
The influential politicians. of course. are
never Indifferent to registration. That Is
one of the reasons why they are influential.

the board should provide enough ground to
have large Fairgrounds, leaving room for
the addition of wings as the school popula-
tion grows.
But If these sections need new schools
how about some of the others which now
have none? Roxborough, for instance, Is
-in this position. Boys and girls in this
section now have to go to Germantown, and
there is not even room for all of them there.
Logan faces the same condition, as do
Fern Rock. Fox Chase, Ryers and several
other sections.
1T seems to me, then. even though some
may differ with me- that the practical thing
Is to satisfy the people who pay the taxes by
giving them what they want and need
rather than just pleasing ourselves.
Il have also consistently held that the
time to erect buildings and make improve
ments. whether it be the Board of Educa-
tion, the Nation, the State or the city, is
when people are out of work and need en-
ploymcnt. 1t is a bad thing for the public
morale for large numbers of persons to be
out Of employment. When at work people
are happy. but W hen they are idle in this
way their brains become devils workshops.
THE Board of Education has authorized
the floating of loans amounting to So, ,000. 900
to build new schools. Now is the time to
think of this matter. We simply must have
more schoolhouses. If the public will not
take the bonds at per cent. which l Ques
ton, we should not hesitate. in view of
present conditions, to raise the rate of in
terest, even if we have to go as high as Q
per cent.
1--WE should keep on building schoolhouses
as fast as we can eSXpend the money to ad-
vantage until we have enough to satisfy
the requirements of the city.
Many point to the fact that New York
and other cities have large school buildings.
But they forget that Philadelphia covers
more ground for large city than most any
of the others Therefore, on the principle
of the greatest good to the greatest number,
we should solve this problem of housing ali
the children adequately ms soon as possible.
This tan best be done. in my judgment, by
building smaller schoolhouses and more of
them. y

WHAT THE FAIR NEEDS

THE Endorsement Of the Paul Crrt plan
i for the 1926 fair by the Falrmount Busi-
ness Mems Association is probably not corr
daily regarded in bustling RoXbOrough.
The confidence OF that enthusiastic suburb
in the merits of the Wissahickon Valley site
has been registered in a way that justifes
self admiration.
The RoXburgers are propagandi2ing for
dear life and their vision of stately pleasure
domes would run kuba Khan pretty race.
Competing programs are rcckonrd base in
trusons.
There is nothing roprohcnsibIc in such
rapture. What Philadelphia needs however,
is similar fcrvency elsewhere for counter
propositions. There is not the least harm az

Residents Of the Farmount section are

situations might serve to dispcl Sorup Of the

than greved, for he has threatened to swear
out a warrant for the arrest of any man
who says he was in the place.
This is too bad. Why should any one
suspect the Councilman Of visiting place
where liquor was sold illegally? lie has
always insisted that he believes in fair
treatment for every one. lie went so far
a few months ago rs to boast of what he
would do if the police. who, he said, were
not interfering with the rich men who were
able to get a drink when they wished it or
to play game of cards when they were in
the mood, should invade his district and
interfere with the right of the poor to enjoy
the same privileges.
Perhaps when he said this he was just
talking and meant nothing. but he has only
himself to blame if the people in his district
assumed that he was defending their right
to have speak -casieS within convenient ac-
cess of their homes.

AMERICANS ON THE RHINE

THE suggestion from Washington that the
l. Administration may call all United
States troops home from Germany after the
ratification Of the new treaty attracts at
tention once more to an issue of which
American critics of things American have
been making an unwarranted hubbub.
No decent minded man desires to see fric-
tion and hate perpetuated in world that
needs nothing so badly as it needs peace of
mind. But it is a mistake to suppose that
the small American army on the Rhine has
added to the hardships of German non
combatants. Germans themselves would
rather see the doughboys stay than depart.
Our force in the occupied area numbers
approximately $4,000 men and officers.
Americans who profess to see something
cruel and incongruous in the spectacle of
large armies subsisting at the expense Of a
country in which many children are deprived
of necessary food see the question imper-
fectly and in n wrong light when they
shout for the withdrawal of our own small
force I'm the name of dccency.' Through
the force of occupation we have contributed
far more to the welfare of the civil popula-
tion in the occupied areas than we have
taken away. The example of restraint and
forbearance provided by the American troops
has had a steadying effect on the troops of
other countries. Life has been made safer
for German women and children through the
influence of the Americans in the occupied
regions. And the soldiers themselves, with
their usual habit of spending their pay
freely, are about as great a burden on the
Germans rs holiday crowd is to the resi-
dents and business people in summer re-
sort. There may be good political reasons
for ordering the doughboys home. But GER
tainly the circumstances of their stay on the
Rhine suggest anything but tragedy

WHY THE SHIP PROBLEM VExES

"TNlIE United States" declares Charles
J. II. Potter, president of the Ship
Operators Association, lis not willing to
resume its pitful prewar maritime posi-
ton" AS general statement the truth
Of this observation is indisputabe. The
immediate means by which marine degen-
eraCy is to be avoided are, however, less
obvious.
"Do what Napoleon would have done"
is a motto that has found some acceptance
among earnest individuals of the "steps- to-
success school. But some difficulty has
been encountered in determining just what
course the celebrated model would have
taken.
Mr.. Potter. speaking for the private ship
ping interests, would perhaps resent the
charge Of belonging TO the class of magnif-
cent gcncrnlizers. lie has a list of specific
remedies for the present situation which
include speedy establishment of non Gov
ernmcnt ownership the abolition of the
bare boat charter system, elimination of
unnecessary trade routes and of competition
on needed trade routes of Shipping Board
vessels and those controlled by private con
Germs.
But what does this program represent
save aspirations which are generally ad-
mittcd to be worthy Of attainment? The
goal to be achieved does not perplcx the
Shipping Board. The very arrangements
which Mr.. Potter desires are those which
Mr.. Lasker is endcavoring to make possible.
1t is the "how,' not the "why," of his
problem which is so elusive. The long and
painful process of adjustment calls for pa
tienco and hard work and constructive
thinking
Private ship owners would confer a favor
upon Mr. Lasker by informing him Of the
most efficient practical way to achieve re-
suits, tho value of which admits of little
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1921-08-29

ciating with the constables and magistrates
rather than let an impression go abroad
that he has weakened in his belief.
The constables and magistrates object to
any revisions of the Constitution because
they fear that their interests will be ad-
versely affected. They are thinking of their
jobs and not of the broader issues involved,
just as the other politicians who object to
revision are afraid that something may be
done which will make trouble for them
The resignation of Mr.. Pepper will serve
a good end If it calls the attention Of the
disinterested voters to the forces which are
seeking to prevent a correction of the de-
fects in the fundamental law of the state.
There are enough such voters to provide
majority in favor of the convention If they
will only go to the primaries in September
and express their wishes.
