GAS COMPANY SEES THE LIGHT

THE United Gas Improvement Company
L seems to be accepting the logic of the
situation.
The announcement by its president that
unless 1t got relief 1t would not make the
payment due to the city has been with
drawn. a little reflection must have con-
vinced the L. g. l. people that default on
this payment would open the way for a
petition by the city for the appointment OF
a receiver Now it Is announced that the
payment will be made.
And still more important, George Whsr-
ton Pepper. representing himself as Il citizen
who has been in consultation with the
officers of the L. G. l.. has told the Mayor
that the company is ready to confer with
the City Solicitor and n committee of Coun-
cN and such other persons rs may be called
In for the purpose Of agreeing on the terms
Of a new lease which shall settle the gas
problems.
This is the plan which the Mayor recon-
mended to the Council before that body
passed the Hall ordinance increasing for a
year the price of gas to $1.10 q thousand
cubic feet. Consequently the Mayor is ex-
pected to veto this ordinance, notwith-
standing the pressure that has been brought
to bear upon him by representatives Of large
6nancial interests. Then he can renew his
recommendation that the Council arrange to
participate in the negotiation Of new
lease which shall make a permanent and
scientific and busiuessike settlement of the
issue

REMAKING THE PARK APPROACH

CASUAL snap judgment critics, Of whom
~ there is no impoverishment in Philadel
phia as elscwhere, will be obliged to dry
some i'll considered tears when they find out
that the present unsymmetrical twists and
turns of the Parkway near Spring Garden
street are not permanent.
Even to some more charitable observers,
however, conditions at this end of the thor
oughfare have been puzzling. and it is con-
soling to record that the Mayor has signed
the ordinance for raising the northwestern
level of the Parkway as high as eighteen
feet in certain places to provide fitting
approach to the new Art Museum. The
work will involve strengthening the roadway
as well, and when all the grading has been
done the Washington Monument is expected
to receive a new setting.
The operations are on so considerable
scale that it is not easy to visualize the
transformation. The contemplated plan
calls for an easy incline of a straight, wide
avenue to what remains of the old reser-
voir hill.
In this elaborate process of municipal re-
construction beauty has undoubtedly seemed
elusive aud remote Patience" is still
good counsel. A large scale program of
civic adornment is taking shape in way
at the Park entrance that will soon carry n
definite meaning. The end is worth wait
ing for

RESPECT FOR ANTIQUITY

DROGRESS and respect for history, ira
i dition and art are appropriately COM
bined in the program to reconstruct the
Pennsylvania Hospital. Rebuilding is a
somewhat harsh, not to say shocking, word
in this connection, and It is gratifying to
note that the project as announced by the
Board of Managers clearly specifies that the
mother structure Of the group, one Of the
most admirable pieces of Colonial architec
ture extant. will be allowed to stand.
Philadelphia could III afford to spare this
gracious and dignifed ediice. whose appeal
is not merely attributable to age, but to
absolute charm and beauty as well. AL
though the famous Greenwich Hospital in
that unique borough where longitude is GER
tilted antedates the most notable building on
Pine street by about half a century, the
esthetic similaritiCs Of the two structures
are striking.
Visitors who are fond Of drawing par
allels between the architecture Of eighteenth
century London and that of old Philadelphia
habitually rely upon the Pennsylvania Hos
pital as evidence. The nelghboring build
ings Of the institution are in general void
Of historical associations and are, indeed,
rather fumbling limitations of the Georgian
style.
The intention Of the management to re-
place them with cdifces representing the
latest developments in hospital equipment is
as commendab'e MS is its consideration for
what actually amounts to shrine.

KING OF ILLINOIS?

CINCE the piping times of George F.
~ Baer the venerable doctrine of the
divine right of kings has been infrequently
adduced in this country as defense.
Its attempted resusctation today by the
counsel for Governor Small. of Illinois, ac-
cused of cmbezzlement during his occupation
of the Office of State Treasurer, has aroused
the fcrvcnt democratic indignation of the
Sangamon County Circuit Court. Judge
Smith spiritedly proclaims that there Is
no such thing as the divine right of kings
in Illinois and that the king has no coun-
trrpurt in Illinois
But is this last fiery assertion really true ?
Granted that the regal divinity" which
implied immunity from punishment for
crimes is n fantastic and untenable hy-
pothcsis so far as American law is con-
crrned, are the offcnscs of which Governor
Small is accused actually so unkingly?
According to a celebrated unlettered but
acute philosopher of certain veracious
fiction. the moral obliquity of some spurious
kings is such that YOU can't tell them from
real ones. If Governor Small'S lawyers are
wise they will refrain from drawing mon
archical parallels. The historic weight of
rogucry is too damning for comfort.

Mr.. MOORE ON JAZZ

WHEN men in official positions begin to
w discuss the subtleties of mass psychol-
ogy it is always interesting to listen and to
try to determine how far purely political
experience can carry one toward an under
standing of the origin of social impulses.
Away" said Mayor Moore Yesterday
with jazz. Let us be done with the
wrctChed tunes and the wretChcd songs Of
which jazz Is made" Later in his address
the Mayor implied that the music which he
dislikcs is a bad thing for society. He
shares a belief that is surprisingly general.
And yet it is necessary to ask whether the
jazz Of the hour is the product of n state
Of mind or whether the state Of mind of the
public, which reformers lament, Is in fact
a product of jazz.
Would the mere elimination of jungle
rhythms restore the folk Of today to better
spiritual equilibrium and endow them with
better taste and higher desires? Is dance
music alone responsible for the new impu-
dcnce of children. the dizzicr bathing suits,
the smoking cars for women that have ap-
pcared on one of the Western railroads and
the moral laxity" of which reformers talk
50 earnestly?
Jazz in the final analysis must be ac-
ccpted as an effect rather than cause.
In music written in broken rhythms there
is no inherent evil. The work of almost
every great composer reveals examples of
elaborate syncopation. You will not be able
to bring about n social millennium by
merely writing all music in strictly con-
ventional tempo. The trouble, such as it
is, is not wholly with jazz. 1t is with the
jazzers. What has been the matter with
people who seem disposed to throw many
of the accepted ethical restraints to the
winds? They are the folk who made jazz
what 1t Is.

"THE LITTLE FELLOWS"

Of the war period and the interval of high
and low finance that followed the signing

+ The little fellows were the amateurs
in the stock market--the men and women
who were led by the prospect of quick and
easy money to take long hiers with small
capital. They made n great deal of money
They walked in cloudlnnd They lived
through months that seemed too good to be
true. For there was time when any one
with a little ready money could plunge with
relative safety. All stocks were up and
going higher and the margin gamblers were
in clover. The ''littlc fellows' bought their
first motorCars and dreamed Of houses in the
country and buffers and seats in the dia-
mond horseshoe. Many of them had gone

could they know how thin the ice was under
their wandering feet? Walters in the
