seem like an altogether unnecessary luxury.
Old times returned to City Hall. where
more than 100 applicants sought the right
TO conduct saloons. The lawyers made
cautious jokes about the Nolstcad Act. The
Federal officials in the prohibition enforce
nent Office were sadly humorous Those who
applied for saloon licenses had friends and
acQuaintances to testify to their good citi-
senship and their consistent obedience to
the law.
Unless there is a change in the status and
character of saloons there ought to be a new
sort of examination provided by the Com
monwealth for the licensees who are making
the most money. These arc the folk who
continue to sell imitation whisky. Testi-
mony as to their personal character, such as
is given cheerfully and voluminously in the
courts, is no longer of much Importance.
If half that we hear is true, they ought to
be examined by pharmacists or a commits
sion of chemists or board composed Of the
directing engineers at gas plants and chemi-
cal works. Then their fitness to stay in
their accustomed business might be wisely
decided.

FRANKLIN AND LANES PLAN

rTNHIS country is so big and tho activities
J. of its citizens varied that the late
Franklin X. Lane can be partoned for not
knowing exactly what the Franklin Insti-
tutc of this city was founded TO do and is
doing.
If Mr. Lane had known it is not likely
that he would have suggested few days
before his death the establishment of what
he called q super university to duplicate its
work
MY thought is he wrote. that there
should be established somewhere Place of
Exchange for the New Ideas that the world
evolves each year, q central spot where all
that is new in science. philosophy, practical
political machinery and all else Of the
worlds mind products shall be placed on
exhibition where those interested may see. y
The form Of exhibitions which he had in
mind was statement by the scientific in
vestigators of what they have accomplished.
They would be invited to explain in n lecture
the progress which they had made toward
the solution of scientific problems.
Well, this is what the Franklin Institute
has been doing for many years. 1t was
founded as an appropriate memorial to
Franklin and nlso rs a means Of continuing
the work in which he was interested through
out his life-that Is, the discovery Of physi-
cal laws and their application to the we'll
being and comfort of mankind. It's annual
course of lectures. delivered by specialists
from all parts of the world, is known wher-
ever men are interested in scientific progress
1t annually awards four medals to men who
have increased the store of human knowl-
edge.
On Wednesday Of this week Ambassador
Jusserand came here from Washington to
accept in behalf of Prof. Charles Fabry, Of
the University Of Paris, n medal conferred
in recognition of his discoveries in connec-
tion with light; and Frank ]. Sprague, Of
New York, came here to accept in person
another medal awarded to him for his cleo
trical inventions.
All that the Franklin Institute would
have to do to become the kind Of super.
university that Mr.. Lane had in mind would
be to broaden out little aud to include in
its activities all the multitude of subjects
in which Franklin himself was interested.
1t has the prestige of Franklins name, a
name known wherever men of science gather,
as well ms wherever any group of men of
average intelligence discuss the progress OF
invention and the pursuit of knowledge. It
will be 100 years old in two or three years.
1t could do no finer thing for itself or for
Philadelphia than to begin at once making
plans to start it's second century of life
with program of expansion and populari-
zation that would make it and its work
known as widely as the name which it bears.

NEWS" FROM RUSSIA

TITLE news comes out of Russia save
IL that which the men in charge of the
Government wish to become public. Con-
sequently no one knows what to believe
For instance, it has been reported from
various sources within a week that Trotzky
is seriously i'll with cancer in a sanatorium
near Moscow. Yesterday n report came by
way Of Helsingfors that Lenine and Trotzky
had sharp difference of opinion at this
weeks meeting of the Soviet Council
Lenine advocated the inclusion in the Gov
ernment of men who are not Bolshevists,
and Trotzky opposed any such concession to
their political opponents, and, according to
the report, requested an adjournment be-
fore any decision was reached.
The chances are that neither the report
OF Trotzky's Illness nor the report of his dis
agreement with Lenine is true. We have
had detailed reports of the destruction of
Russian warships in battle with insurgents,
when those who knew all about the Russian
navy have told us that the ships were not
in commission and had not been in commits
sion for years. The Russian news factory is
working overtime, and it seems to be manu-
featuring stuff out of the imagination of the
workers

ANOTHER MIDDLE FOR HOOVER

IIERBERT HOOVER is recognized
II master hand at untanglng delicate
problems. and hence it is good news that
he is now engaged in investigating the diff
cultcs involved in the complete execution of
the Jones Shipping Act.
Rigid enforcement of this law would mean
the abrogation of treaties preventing the
imposition of discriminatory duties on goods
carried by American ships. Mr.. Wilson
refused to annuI these pacts, holding that
Congress had no directing authority in the
matter.
Senator Jones, despite the congressional
orders. which he was instrumental in for
mulating. now insists that the case is, after
ALL one for the executive branch. The
buck which is thus plainly passed is typical
of the history of most snarls in which Con-
gress finds itself.
The Merchant Marine Act was laudable in
its aim. which was to safeguard the immense
new volume OF native shipping. Foreign
competition Is strong and there Is no doubt
that every effort is now being made to
squeeze our mercantile marine interests into
positions Of the most extreme Inconvenience.
But subsidies would have given protection

"a number of former members now at

of the Chicago Boys Club. Through Mr..
Dana Howe, of the Young Mems Christian
Association ut the University OF Pennsyi-
vania, we have been fortunate in securing
some of our best workers. The most sue
ccssfu method has been to have one OF the
childrcn's librarians take charge of the club
for the first year and gradually, without
losing her own interest, turn 1t over to
volunteer. At present there are sixteen
clubs with a membership of $50.

among the boys clubs. a preliminary con-
test is held in each club and the speakers
chosen. Medals are the prizes for the com
petitions, and there is challenge cup which
must be won three times before 1t remains

HUMANISMS
BY WILLIAM ATHERTON DU PUY

THERE are only four persons of the name
L of Mellon in all the United States who
have gained such distinction that they are
set down in Who's Who. All four live in
them is Andrew w. Mellon, who recently
became Secretary of the Treasury and moved
to Washington. Two others urc his brothers
and one Is his son.
The fact that these four men are what
they are Is probably due to father having
taken thought in their behalf.
Away back in those days which followed
the Civil War the original Mellon, grown
to prominence from an Irish immigrant boy,
sat on the judicial bench of Pittsburgh. He
had accumulated wealth and he saw his five
sons growing up around him. He opened
each son in lieu of salary. That institu-
tion has developed into one Of the strongest
in all the nation and the Melons rank
close to the RocEefellers in wealth.
