checks and counter checks provided for

been virtually impossible. Accusations are

GETTING Att

TUE need for concerted and Organized
= action IT shipping is to be attracted to
this port has impressed itself upon a lot Of
business men. They have met and M.
pointed a committee to recommend a plan.
Their purpose, as we understand 1t. IS to
make some arrangements by which cargoes
will be gathered for ships sailing to various
parts Of the world and by which ships to
carry the cargoes will be brought TO the
Delaware River piers.
& At present ships come here for cargoes
and sail away without them, and freight
Tor distant ports lies on the wharves for
weeks because no ship for the port of desti-
nation has appeared. There Is freight
enough originating in the territory tributary
to this port to fill twice as many ships as
call here, but there has never been anv
concerted effort to bring 1t here.
Mr.. Sproule, the Director OF the De.
partment of Wharves. Docks and Ferries.
~ chairman of the new committee. lie is
familiar with the problem. Under his di :
rcction something progressive is likely to
be done.

Mr.. BOX HAS PAVED THE WAY

gTHE announcement by the Mayor that
i Edward W. BOX has offered to provide
go, 600 a year for five years tn be paid as
salary to Mr.. Hoover us Director General of
the fair calls attention TO the most i'm
porrant development in connection with the
project since it was definitely entered on.
Mr.. Box is an enthusiastic hacker of the
project. He believes that it can be carried
through successfully and he has been giving
considerable attention to 1t. Something
needed to be done TO arouse a greater In.
terest in IL and to set an example TO the
rest of us. This Mr.. Box has done by his
public spirited and generous offer. 1t is a
challenge to others to prove that they also
are interested in the success of the fair.
Nothing definite has been done and one
Of the reasons urged in explanation is that
no money has been available. Mr.. Box now
says in effect: Here is $3.50. 900 to be used
In paying Mr.. Hoovcrs salary. Ask him
without delay to take the place and to get
on the job as soon as he can close up the
work in which he is engaged in Washing
ton
Lack Of funds can no longer DO used as an
excuse for postponing action. The impor-
tance of having the Director General on the
job as early as possible is so clear to every
thinking person that with the money to pay
him provided it is impossible to Imagine any
reasonable excuse for trying TO make the
preliminary arrangements for the fair under
the direction Of men who have other i'm.
portant interests absorbing the greater Part
Of their time

GET THE CARS RUNNING

MAYOR MOORE'S solicitude over the
AVA protection Of the public investment In
the Frankford elevated line is commendable.
It Is his duty to use all his influence to get
the greatest possible return on the cost Of
the line.
But it is also his duty to exert himself
to get the line in operation in such a way
as to serve the greatest possible number OF
people
II any reasonable arrangement can be
made with the =. X. r. Company to oper.
ate the line in connection with the Market
street line that arrangement should be ac-
cepted.
A proposition has been made by the tram
sit company to connect the Market street
line with the Frnnkford line and to give
free transfers from the intcrsccting surface
lines to the Frankford elevated as they are
given in West Philadelphia to the Market
street elevated. and to pay the city pro-
gressively increasing rate OF interest on its
investment until s per cent is reached
Mayor Moore. however, is insisting that
the transit company shall pay per cent
on the Frankford investment from the
beginning. But there is no indication at
the present time that the p. II. T. Com
pany can be persuaded to agree to pay 8
per cent from the beginning neither is there
"is inuiCu'iou tndJ tne Nlty COUNCIL VIII
insist on It, And there is an undoubted
demand that some arrangement he made at
once for putting the Frankford line at the
service of the people.
Tho Mayor has announced that he in
tends to go out among the people to tell them
why tho city should insist on ) per cent
from the beginning. He is likely to discover
that the people are more deeply interested in
the operation Of the cars than In the details
of the terms of operation. They have waited
for the fulhllment Of promises made many
times and broken as often. and they are In
no mood for further delay.
They know that the city Is getting no
return now on the investment in the Frank
ford line, and has been getting none, and
that the longer the line is allowed to remain
unused the longer will the date Of earnings
be postponed. Between the two plans, the
people would a thousand times rather have
the cars running on tho line with no earn.
inss to pay the interest on the bonds than
to have the line unused with the city in
the same financial condition.
The campaign of education for the people
which the Mayor is proposing may prove to
be a campaign which will educate the Mayor
himself
