Member of the Associated Press
WOOD, PROVOST OR GOVERNOR?

WHArEVER comes of tn" reported s"I"r-
w tion of Major General Leonard Wood
as Governor Gcucra Of tn" Philippines. it
is hardly to be- questioned that his nrrupHnry
of the post would be- tu th" SUlis(Ur, 6u vi
the present Administration in Wa>hiuGton.
General Wood Is u veteran in PniIippln"
affairs, and his a"VuWintaur" with lhNm has
been intimately renewed in tho current tour
Of inspection to which No has been assigned
In association with W. Cameron Forbes.
But General Wood acceptance Of tn"
provostship of the University Of Pcnnsyl-
vania, to take effect after the conclusion
of the island survey. was, 50 far as is
known, explicit.
The situation is in some respects unusual.
Robert +. Lee assumed the presidency Of
the then rather obscure Washington col
lege, in Lexington. Va. when his military
career was AT an end, and there was scaul
possibility of political prcfrrmcnt.
But while pleased tn honor General Wood.
the trustees of the University "f pcnu>yl-
rania were avow"dIy reckoning with his
reputation ns an executive. Th" Govern .
ment, If il has mad" tn" reported offer
may be regarded Gs emphasizing these quail
ifcations in n disparatc field. with which
he has been chiefly a.Soratrd.
Should this much sought after official
decide to remain in tho Scrvic" Of the Nation
the University will resume contact with Il
problem that has given it much concern since
the retirement Of DR.. Smith That the
leading institution Of higher learning de-
serves the most competent rSc"utvr oh.
tainabe is fact that should be- inspira.

MORE HAoGLlNG OVER GAS

MO SUGGESTION for solving the gas
problem Is better than that made by
tho Mayor II Is that there be- a confer
cncc between the gas company on tho one
hand, and the City Solicitor, representing
the Mayor. a committee of the City Council
and the Gas Commission on the other hand.
The Weglcin plan for the appointment Of
committee of the Council to prepare a
plan and policy for developing the gas
works. approved by the Committee on Pub
lie Utilities yesterday, is defective in tha,
it is based on the assumption that the
Council can do the work without assistance.
If the committee were directed TO enter
into conference with all the parties involved
tho Wcglcin plan would be so much like the
Mayors plan that it would not be easy
to distinguish between them.
Three other gas ordinances considered by
the Committee on Public Utilities were re-
ported without recommendations. One was
Mr. Wcglein's proposition to keep the price
of gas ut 81 n thousand cubic feet and give
to tn" gas company eighty seven and
half cents of this amount instead of seventy
five. which it now receives This plan is
indrfcuSiblc because it is based on nothing
better than guess.
The second ordinance, proposed by Coun-
Gilman DrvCin. directs the Mayor tO engage
the Gas Commission to prepare n now form
nf contract with the gas company. This is
Just ns dcfCrtiv" as the Wcgcin proposal
that a commttc" Of tn" Council shall settle
tn" gas policy for the city.
Councilman Rop"r's ordinance. the third
reported without recommendation, merely
extends the period during which the l"O
British thermal unit is to bc used aS the
standard of quality. There is justification
for this. as compromise to continue until
the larger issues involved in the relation Of
the gas company to the city have been
settled.
The way out Of the whole mess is so
simple that it is difficult to understand why
the Council hpsitatcs to take it. All that
is necessary is for the parties in interest
to get together and agree on what is To b"
done. The gas company is willing Tn"
Gas Commission stands ready to do any
thing asked of it. the city Solicitor will
enter the conference as tn" representative
of the Mayor. The Council alone holds out.

'Fhrrc is one consideration that makes

be provided for him and should be his by
