A Hard Road to Travel
Reform in ph;Ia adoInbia ;S .e 1,o

Reform in Philadelphia is as hard
road to travel as Jordan. With
the beginning Of the year new city
administration came in, pledged to
abolish the rule of the contractor
bosses. Mr.. j. Hampton Moore,
heading a revolt of Republicans
against the party machine, was
elected Mayor, and Councils devoted
to the same cause by majority Of
one accompanied him into Office.
There was to be great purifica-
ton; Philadelphia was no longer to
be corrupt and contented." Yet
with the ending OF the year the fat
is in the fire again. There have
been deserters in the Councils. The
mayoral veto Of a padded budget has
been overridden and a reorganized
machine is ready to do business
again.
Mayor Moore, picking up the gage

to finish. There are those who
think that he is a trihe too bellig-
erent. If the Mayor gets rid of
capable officials, as ne is doing, on
the ground that they have not given
him the backing he expected his
critics will argue that his temper has
got the better Of his judgment.
Whatever policy he follows, his
course is certain to be difficult.
Ephraim is Joined to his idols. 1t is
to be feared the remaining three
years of Mr.. Moore's term will be
bedeviled and made futile by inter-
necine strife in which even the re-
formers themselves will take oppos-
ing sides.

The Theory of Gardening
o tho Editor of The Tribune

~ LILO EultOr OF l ne Tribune.
Sir: read with considerable interest
the letter Of George G. Wise, which you
published on December 81, regarding tho
demonstration garden at Bryant Park,
which is to bo destroyed because Of its
being within tho route limo Of the
Qucensborough tunnel extension.
] wish to take this opportunity to
give expression TO tho keen satisfaction
which have derived during the last few
years in seeing and hearing the theory
of gardening capably expressed by the
competent instructor In attendance and
by the successful demonstration Of the
workings Of tho theories as manifested
by the growth Of products in the garden
If it is true that this useful activity
IS to be discontinued at Bryant Park,
may l not suggest that the gurdenluc
idea, which has been illustrated at
Bryant Park, be removed to larger
space, preferably in Union Square,
where the city gardening idea was first
demonstrated and at the sxme timo be
expanded both quanttatively and quail
itatively so that the knowledge which it
dissemnates may find wider scope In
its application? LEO FIEBEL.
