THE IDEAL SITE

60 SUPERIOR are the merits of the
- Fnirmount Park Parkway site for the
fair that its Endorsement by the commit.
tees Of the Engineers Club the philadel.
phia Chapter of the American Institute of
Architects and the Real Estate Board has
come without surprise to those who have
been giving thought to the matter.
The site is easily accessible from all the
railroad terminals. II Is in the heart of the
city and is connected with all sections by
street cars. 1t is near the existing hotels
and in such a convenient location that new
hotels to accommodate the visitors can be
erected prodtably with the certainty that
after the fair is over they will be in de.
mand as apartment houses or Office build.
ings IL the need for them as hotels should
cease. 1t includes both banks of the
Schuylkill River and thus affords opportuni-
ties for picturesque development and water
pleasures that were not offered by some of
the other sites.
Beyond all other proposed sites it justi-
fes the expenditure by the city, the State
and the Nation Of large sums for the ercc-
ton of permanent buildings that can be
used for public purposes after the fair is
over. Not only can permanent structures
be erected, but the long talked-of and long
delayed improvement Of the banks of the
Schuylkill from the entrance Of Fairmount
Park to Arch street can be carried out
after the manner of the improvements to
the banks of the Seine in Paris in 1900.
Under the circumstances two or three
times az much can prudently be appro.
prated for the fair as would be wise il It
were all to go for structures that would be
torn down after serving their purpose for
one summer.
Congress can be asked to authorize the
erection of new Federal Building on the
Parkway in addition to making an appro-
priation for the fair itself.
The State can be asked to erect a build
ing for the accommodation of its officials
who are compelled to have Offices here, even
if it iS.not thought wise for it to put up a
building for the accommodation of the Su-
preme Court. This. too, in addition to an
appropriation for the general expenses of
making ready for the fair.
The city itself can rush construction on
the Soldiers Memorial or Convention Hall
and on the Schuylkil embankments and
bridges, improvements which can be paid
for by the issue Of bonds, willie it spends
such sums as are necessary on the tenn
porary structures.
Still further the plans can be so made
that the buildings put up by foreign Gov,
rrnmcnts shall be Of permanent construc-
tion and adapted to uses of one kind or an
other that when the fair is over they could
be sold for sums which would almost recover
the original expenditure.
The site is such that the setting of the
fair can be made as attractive as that of
any other fair ever held. Definite adoption
Of it by the committee will prepare the way
for an active campaign in behalf Of funds.

A TRAFFlc-RElIEF IDEA

SUGGESTIONS for traffic arteries in
- Philadelphia are irrepressibl". The
latest, which has been made TO Mayor
Moore by Miers Busch. representing the
Board of Trade. contains practical features
which are decidedly worth consideration.
The proposal to relieve the increasing jam
on Market, Chestnut and Walnut streets
involves n plan for the widening Of Locust
street from Fifteenth street to Washington
Square. On the north side of the east md
west thoroughfare there are comparatively
few important structures to complcate the
execution of the project. The Philadelphia
Library would be affected. but the Free
Library at Thirteenth and Locust streets is
not an obstacle, since within about two
years it will be removed to its new home on
the Parkway.
Mr.. Busch proposes the passage Of an
ordinance giving notice OF municipal inten-
tions in order that building construction
should not interfere with carrying out the
program at some future date.
This is not an extravagant initial step.
II would be calculated to allay fears Of the
immediate embarkation of the city on some
new and costly public enterprise and it
would lay the groundwork Of eventual I'M
provement.
In considering the traffic problem it is
well to look ahead. Otherwise. the time
will come when the call for relief is sharp.
impatient and mandatory.

THE earth, according to the early Japa-
l. ncsc cosmographcrs, rests on the back
of giant turtle. The ancient Greeks said
that the sky was held up by Atlas, giant
standing in Northern Africa.

cnt knowledge Of the fundamentals Of Anglo.
Saxon justice. She blithely reversed the
age-old rule established to guard what
blackstone calls ''thc inalienable rights OF
man. and wrote an act which declared that
a suspected person, might be denied trial by
jury and was to be presumed guilty until
he could prove himself innocent. Thus
any one caught selling or transporting
whisky or other alcoholic beverages In New
Jersey was to be denied rights which the
law continues to extend even to muvderers.
IT was clear from the beginning that the
law could not stand. Now the State is
without nny enforcement system OF It's own.
The Anti Saloon League Is credited with
having done most to assure the passage of
the Van Ness act. But It is easy to be.
lcvc the truth Of persistent rumors which
imply that the lava law far more rigor-
GUS than the Federal dry laws-was secretly
supported by wet leaders, who desired to
dscredlt In the eyes Of the public the whole
prohibition theory and the organizations
which support It. Certainly the attempts
to enforce the Van Ness law tended con.
stantly to hurt the dry cause in Jersey.
Those who are sincerely anxious to bring
about the elimination Of the liquor traffic
ought to applaud the decision of the Court
Of Errors. Prohibition is not dead and it Is
not dying. The country at large is deter.
mined to see it tested thoroughly. But the
dry cause cannot be expected to survive
enforcement legislation conceived in spirit
Of fanaticism rather than in spirit Of rea-
sonabcness and fair play.

MAIL-TUBE PROSPECTS

NNHE congressional Postal Committee,
i which will meet next week. Is expected
to inauguratc departmental action toward
the restoration of the pneumatic mail tube
service in Philadelphia. Local delegations
which have recently visited the capital re-
port approval by many postal officials Of Il
rehabilitation of the service.
1t has never been explained why the tubes
were abandoned under Mr.. Burleson nor
why even under the new Administration an
obviously practical method Of eHpedting
the urban mail deliveries was not speedily
adopted.
II the pneumatic system IS in some fea-
lures out Of date, modernization is in order.
It Is generally admitted that n real need
exists for laying additional tubes to out
lying districts.
City mail deliveries in America have long
compared unfavorably with those of London
and Paris. In the latter capital. the tubes in
which ''petits bleus" are dispatched are ad-
mirable time savers.
The system has previously demonstrated
its worth in Philadelphia. which is among
the reasons why the ban against making
use Of 1t has seemed so unnecessary,

JERSEYS FUTILE DRY LAW

Tn THE New Jersey Court OF Errors and
J. Appeals yesterday the over ardent advo.
Gates of prohibition learned lesson which
they ought to take 10 heart in the interest
Of fair play and their own cause. The Van
Ness act for dry enforcement, an almost
medieval law passed by an obcdont I.cgis-
lature under pressure from various sources,
was summarily wiped off the statute books
and declared unconstitutional.
The decision will be welcomed by all citi-
zens, wet or dry, who are not convinced
that bone dry prohibition is Of more i'm
portance TO the country and to humanity
than the essential protective principles of
common law which, though they urc the
chief supports Of our system of social rca-
soning and the basis OF all modern legal
thought, were set aside to make an air.
