THE CASE OF Mcc0Ach

WHEN you sit down to consider the pos
w sible general effect of the state Supreme
Court decision giving power to the Director
Of Public Safety to denote an officer OF
CAPTAIN McCoach's rank. and to denote
him without making his reasons public, you
will realize again the hopelessness OF al
the efforts commonly made to insure nom
est, efficient and decent public adminis-
tration by special laws. In the right hands
the authority guaranteed to police directors
by this decision would operate for great
good. In the hands Of unprincipled or cor.
rupt men it could be q force for disinte.
grafton and evil.
Thus a Director of Public Safety who
for one reason or another wished to be
terrorist could now work without danger
or fear Of exposure. If he wished to pro-
tect privileged vice he could do so by merely
making his wishes known to his subordi-
mates and holding over them the threat OF
official discipline of most unpleasant sort.
He could retire into the background and
into places Of obscurity police officials who
refused to do his bidding and he would
not have to make any explanation to the
men 10 eliminated or to the public. He
could be a Gar Of sorts and a Court from
which there would be no appeal.
Yet, upon the other hand. It now lies
in the power of an honest Director to deal
directly and efficiently for the good Of the
service and the community at large with
police captains and lieutenants who, under
the protection Of Civil Service rules, have
continued to take orders from irresponsible
politicians instead of from their superiors.
Everything depends upon the personal equa-
tion.
It ar,ears in the final analysis that cen.
tralized authority Is. after all. the only
opfo Nf n honest and efficient nOliCe
seryice. With centralized authority goes
centralized responsibility. Under the new
ruling. it will be proper for the public to
20 beyond suspected minor police officials
and put full blame for the failure or the
misuse Of police power fatty upon the
shoulders of the Director of Public Safety
and the Mayor. These officials will not
be able to blame "meddling politicians for
such inefhciency or crookedness as may be
revealed in the mechanism of the Depart
ment Of Public Safety. From now on they
will have a right to choose their own men for
important official posts.
Captain McCoach was suspected Of di-
vided allegiance. He was charged with a
desire to serve his political friends by the
misuse of his official power. That is q
bad habit of good many police officials and
Cne which has been forced upon them in
the past by the powers higher up. 1t used
to be fashionable to blame "the bosses
for anything that went wrong in the Po.
lice Department. Now 1t will be necessary
to blame the Mayor and the Director Of
the Department Of Public Safety. And, of
course, ii crooked politicians get into these
Offices they will not mind being blamed or
criticized. They never do, SO long as the
public refrains from making its resentment
apparent at the polls.

clubs Of the state Of New York feel justified
in making determined protests against Fred
erick MacMonnies' newest creation, q marble
group Of heroic size, which Is soon to be un-
yelled in City Hall Park, Manhattan.
MacMonnics chiselcd q youth Of muscular
build and fascinated upward gaze and called
him Civic Virtue. Under the feet OF tue
marble man are two beautiful ladies', un.
clothed and spurned. They are, respectively,
Vice and Temptation. Why, nngrily ask the
sculptor's feminine critics, should the nasty
figures Of alegory be forever represented as
women? What, for example, have women
done to weaken the moral consciousness OF
American voters? Why shouldn't Mac
Monnies spirit Of enlightened citizenship be
shown spurning a gentleman In the white
vest and the top hat Of the political bossism!
Mr.. MacAIonnies, cornercd in his studio,
does not know. The thought came to him,
and there It is. Take it or leave It. 1t Is
good group! THE sirens were always women,
weren't they?" cries the artist testify. lie
might have added that, m the eyes OF
sculptor who is n son of Adam, women seem
little more interesting when they are being
spurned. And yet 1t will not do TO assume
that the artists have been In general con-
spiracy of anti feminine propaganda. The
sirens of art always have oecn women. But
Fame in the pictures and sculpturcd groups
Is n woman. So are the Three Graces, ana
so are Poetry. Victory and Herosm. Inc

ever masculine to the artists.
When women become little more al.
vanced when they begin to make the most
conspicuous pictures and sculpture. they may

But, If the women are fair, they will have

TO A PHILADELPHIA HERO
DENNsYLvANIANs in general and Ph,

DENNSYLVANIANS in general and Phil.
= adelphians In particular may take pride
in the memorial tribute to George Gordon
Meade. for which ground will be broken in
Washington on March 2s.
BY training, education and residence,
General Meade was Philadelphian, the
most conspicuous figure from this commun-
ity In the military history Of the Civil War.
Philadelphia artistry has been invoked in
the work Of Charles Crafty, sculptor
ct the monument. and Simon & Simon,
architects. responsible for the base, setting
end decorative environment in a handsome
new avenue.
Times have changed since recourse was
had TO Paris and Berlin, the latter repre.
sented in Siemmering's Enthusiastically Teu-
tonic Warrington In Fairnount Park. OF
tAIg stoiid work II has been said that il Is
convincing bronze embodiment of Freder.
tck the Great In Continental uniform.
But, in addition to tine fitness Of its
origin, the Meade memorial has other claims
TO distinction. 1t is q daring and impressive
essay in allegorical sculpture, combining
dignity with grace and deep spiritual values.
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has
nce spared expense in honoring one Of its
mast valprous and gifted sons, victor az

UNDERMINING THE FERRIES

Ifctcntious new train terminal and ferry
house for the Reading Railway in Camden
50 reassuring evidence that the bridge pro-
ject has not been permitted to obstruct

Interstate communication.
In many respects the Delaware span will
revolutionize transportation conditions, but
it will not take care of all the traffic. I'm
provement Of the ferry service and Of ac-
commodation for passengers and freight Is
seill essential.
Il is planned that the Readings Camden
station shall provide room for ten sets Of
tracks for seashore and New Jersey subur.
ban traffic. The ferry house will be de-
signed to permit the use Of double deck
boats. with ample provision both for vehicles
and passengers.
The $500, 900 which the structure will
cost is fully commensurate with the needs
Of the service. The vacation time jam on
the ferries has rapidly grown worse.
The Pennsylvania is preparing to build an
additional ferry slip at Market street and
corresponding quarters on the east bank
1t the river. New steamers, also with
double decks, will be placed on this brief
but busy run" The immense growth OF
the Philadelphia Camden metropolitan area
clearly demands such expansion and mod.

DISCOVERIES OF HUMANITY

YOUNG MIR. DODGE, one of the sons
L Of the millionaire motor manufacturer,
went joyriding in the environs Of Detroit.
He speeded. He contributed to circum.
stances which caused the injury Of a girl
who rode in his machine. He was arrested
and sent to cell, where he spent five days,
and he was liberated yesterday.
Reading of all this, one would be led to
suppose that young Mr.. Dodge is merely
another OF the silded set. But he seems to
be little more than that. He has written
an article for the prison paper in Detroit.
and 1t is no ordinary article. 1t is not an
expose. Mr.. Dodge has discovered hu.
manity. He Is eager to tell the world about
1t. Thus he reports that it is wrong for
people TO believe that all jailers are brutes.
that Courts are cruel places where tyrants
preside and watch for unfortunates whom
they can make miserable, and that all DO.
licemen are brutes with badges on and that
the jails are filled with depraved criminals.
Jailers, says Mr.. Dodge, are human and
kindly, and Judges seem sorry rather than
glad when they have to visit punishment
on an offender against the law. Police.
men aren't ugly-tempered and intent merely
on showing their authority. Most wonder.
full OF all things to young Mr.. Dodge was
the discovery that the people who live IN
cells are not different essentially from
other people Most of them. he believes
ore unfortunate or luckless, rather than
bad at heart. 'N
A few days in a cell seem to have done
more for young Mr.. Dodge than years In
college do for a great many young men of
his age and generation. OF course, police
men are good-humored and tolerant, and
even kind to their prisoners. when the pris-
oners are half decent. A great deal of un.
advertised charity is dispensed in police
stations. Judges don't like to send people
to jail. And most of the people who 60 to
Jail are in no way different at heart from
those who don't.
Young Mr. Dodge is typical represents. .
tive Of that Iart of the world which Is dis
covering the Other Half. Everywhere all
sorts of fortunate people are beginning ia
r,slize with something of astonishment that
moor and rich, ins and outs, ups and down,
ave alike under their skins; that all OF
them sre human, alike susceptible to the
same hurts, the same passions and pains and
desires and hopes and fears. Why must
some men live to be old before they realize
ali this? And why Is it that an American
youth of fortune must 90 to Jail 70 eomplst,
