But the human factor aside, the eventual
burning Of timber hostelries is seemingly
inevitable. Scores Of such establishments,
designed mainly for tourists and summer
visitors, have been consumed ut prominent
American resorts within the last twenty
years.
The Western world has outgrown these
once pretentious caravansaries and the
menace Of fire has been materially increased
by the development of electricity. Build.
ings, moreover, age into the sere and yellow
as do members of the human family.
The widespread use Of steel and concrete
has unqucstionably been the salvation Of
many of the leading seaside resorts, where
the peril of antiquated frame establishments
was realized in time.
The menger fire. fighting resources Of the
Bahamas rendered the fashionable Colonial

CONGRESS AND THE PRESIDENT

TT WOULD be interesting TO know whot
President Harding thinks about Rcpre
sentative Mondell's statement that there
has never been a record of finer relations
and more harmonious CO. operation between
the President and Congress than that made
during the last year.
Mr.. Mondell who is the leader of the
republican majority, has apparently per-
ceived that the country is with the Presi-
dent, and he wants the voters who are 70
elect new House in November to think
that the Republican representatives have
been doing their best to carry out the poli.
cies of the President.
Every one who has followed the proceed
inss OF Congress even in casual way knows
that there is large element Of exaggeratio
In Mr.. Mondell's statement.
On three vital matters the House has de-
libcrately ignored the wishes of the exocu
tive department. The most flagrant disrc
gard was in the matter of bonus legislation.
The President urged that sucn legislation be
postponed. but suggested that if Congress
did not wish to postpone it the money needed
to meet its charges should be raised by n
sales tax. Secretary Mellon pointed out the
grave defects of the plan In the bill passed
by the liouse; but his warnings were
ignored, and no attempt was made to adopt
cult to find a more fragrant instance of
hOuting the wishes Of the President.
The Administration desires an army of
from 10000 to 100000 men and n navy
which will keep the sea defenses of the
United States up to the ratio fixed in the
Naval Reduction Treaty just ratified by the
Senate. But the House has passed n hill
reducing the army below the limit fixed by
the Administration and the maximum size
of the navy proposed us also far below that
fixed in the treaty. If the extreme disarm-
ament advocates have their way the navy
will be wrecked.
There is another matter on which Con-
gress has done almost nothing. 1t was
called in special session nearly year ago
to pass Tariff Bill, but no Tariff Bill has
been passed, and no one knows when it will
come to n final vote or on what theory il
will be based.
Mr.. MOndell is talking bunk in the hone
that it will help his colleagues TO be re-
elected just as he and they voted for an
impossible Bonus Bill for the same reason
The intelligent Republicans of the country
will not be fooled by such talk.
The avoidance of an open break between
the President and Congress resulting in yio-
lent denunciation of Congress by the Presi :
dent does not mean that the President is
pleased with what Congress is doing or that
Congress has been seeking to please the
President.
1t is not too late for Congress TO begin
co operating with the President and to make
good Mr.. MOndells premature boast. But
1t will have to take more serious view of
its responsibilities than it has exhibited thus
far.

LEAGUE ISLAND PARK

STNHE removal from League Island Park Of
i the naval warehouses buff during the
war has been delayed too long. They are
not now used, and as the reelection in the
size of the navy is likely to le followed by
q marked reduction in the amount of work
done at the Navy Yard they are certain to
remain unoccupied. They distisnre the park.
The unanimous adoption b. the City
Council of Mr.. Gaffney's resolution asking
that the buildings be removed was an Off
cial expression of the wishes Of every one
familiar with the situation
Mr.. Gaffney's request for IN estimate
from the Department of Public Works Of
the cost of completing the pa3kI is doubtless
preliminary to the introduction Of an ordi-
nance directing that the work be done.
The park ought to be completed. not only
for the benefit Of those who live in the
southern part of the city. but as an attrac.
tion to draw to that district more people.
There is a vast area Of undevsloped land
there within convenient access Of the center
of the city. but for one reason OF another it
has not been built upon. The people down
there hoped that some of this land might be
used as site for the fair, SO that visitors
who have no occasion to go south OF Spruce
street might be induced to explore n region
little known to the people of West Phila-
delphia or North Philadelphia or German
town

COAL STRIKE PRoFITEERINc?

COAL operators and distributors may have
~ been entirely sincere when they prom.
ised that coal strike would not lead to
higher prices in the retail market. But It
ought to be remembered that the strike has
lndehnitely postponed a reduction in coal
prices which anthracite and bituminous pro.
ducers were about ready to announce when
the new controversy with the unions arose.
Moreover, there are in tho coal mems asso-
ciation some profitcers who will almost cer-
tainly take advantage of any opportunity for
additional profits which an extraordinary
emergency may present.
Secretary Davis Of the Federal Depart
ment of Labor, In n statement which, by
inference, puts the blame for the miners
walkout upon the shoulders of few irrecon-
cilable mine owners who refused to live up
10 agreements and confer with the unions,
said that there Is no need at present for an
advance in coal prices, and that any such
ADVANCE or any attempt at one should be
reported at once to Washington. This
suggestion is IN intimation Of emergency
action by the Attorney Generals office, and
al people who have to buy coal should keep
1t in mind.

trntion and the coal strike of 1902. The
nature of that crisis and the manner in

elsewhere in this newspaper today.

Approximately 600. 900 coal miners will
be idle when the national strike is under
way. And at least 1,OOO. 900 women and
children are dependent for shelter and food
upon these men.

NOT AN ATTACK

nR. BROOAlE, superintendent Of schools,
- mistakes the purpose Of Dr Fincgan's 8
survey il he regards it as an attack on the
school system of this city.
As we understand the surv9}, 1t was un-
dertaken in order to discover tue merits and
defects of the system so thai it might be
improved. TO say that the physical equip
ment Of the schools Is deploraGe Is to state
IN admitted fact. The children themselves
criticize the schoolhouses. In one district
they speak Of the building in which they are
taught as 'the COW STABLE
The only way to get popular support for
betterment is through an exhibition Of the
need of it. The people ought to be aroused
to point where they will not tolerate the
use Of such buildings as some Of those which
the School Board has continucd to keep
open.
We should like to see little more evi
dencc that the School Board itself is in
mood to cooperate with Dr. Finegan in
bettering conditions and little less evil
dence Of soreness over the exhibition of con-
ditions which have continued TOO long.

OUR TURN TO WAIT

HyHERE Is q not uncommon impression in
i this country that when the United States
has ratified n treaty it is as good as adopted.
In the main. this view is justified, although
occasional shocks to public opinion resulted
in the case of Colombia and the Panama
Canal pact and in the protracted haggling
by Denmark over the price of the Virgin
Islands. But as n rule the break down Of
treaty opposition in the Senate has meant
the removal of the chief obstacle TO agree
ment.
No alarm need therefore be entertained
regarding the fate of compacts framed in
the Washington Conference, although action
upon them has not been started by u single
foreign nation. Overseas Governments have
waited to see whether the United States
would indorse policies of its own initiation.
Now that doubt on that score has happily
been effaced early activity on the part Of
the legislative assemblies of Great Britain,
France, Japan, Italy, China, Portugal, Bel
gum and the Netherlands may be expected.
The French are limiting at reservations.
! It Is at least courteous to refrain from harsh
criticism on this subject, even though the
Senate may feel that some of It's most
precious privileges are encrOached upon.
M But 1t Is admitted that France, being
s'foreign" herself, is not desperately afraid
Of foreigners or of participating in internn-
tional affairs. Possibly some refinement Of
Interpretation will be attached to one or
more Of the pacts, but it is unlikely that the
work of the Conference will be seriously
endangered In Paris.
n More realistic argument on the program
may be anticipated in Pekin. The most
sfoniperate statesmen of the divided Chinese
Eapublic, however, undoubtedly understand
that the new and increased recognition of
