REvITALIzlNG BROAD STREET

VTNO ALL the people who live north Of
l. Market street. and especially 10 those
who reside in areas adjacent to Rr"nd
street. the definite news of moving plans for
north and south subway ought - be-
stimulating. For Broad street, cnIivoncd
as it has been in recent years by the motor
industry, still has an odd aspect Of arrested
development. All it has ever needed was
some sort of transit system. BusSes would
have been almost enough 10 make 1t bloom
with light and stir with the movement of
the sort Of life that is drawn to hotels,
theatres, restaurants and pretentious shops.
Mayor Reyburn once said fondly that the
greatest street in Philadelphia should be
kept clear for parades." But parades con-
tribute little 70 the JOY of life or to the gen.
eral welfare of the city Because of the dis.
position at City Hall to preserve Broad
street for them a great deal of business de-
velopment that naturally would have tended
northward from the center uE the city
moved outward toward the Schuylkill and
beyond
The experiences OF PhilHd"IphlanS with
modern systems of rapid transit have been
so fortunate that IL is u wonder that they
heSitated to provide financial encouragement
for the extension of subways. West Phila-
delph!a was totally changed by the elevated.
The Northeast will be similarly changed
with the opening of the Frankford line.
The Broad street area, already built up and
waiting only for the lifting of the barrier
Of space that now shuts il off from the
center of activity, will hardly be recognizable
to the Philadelphian who might return a
year after the newest subway is opened.

A few weeks ago the resort, the comple-

threatened By the announcements that, owing
70 the neglect Of Council, no money was
available for the payment Of guards ana

That lamentable situation has now been

that this public improvement cannot be

THE SUMNER SCHOOL SUCCESS

i riel OUT this year was designed pri-
narily for the general Improvement of "du-

however, is more than counterbaianced BY
the $3.50, 900 wh!cE will be saved because
1000 students who have attended summer
school will be enabled TO skip a grade and
as result will be graduated six months
ahead Of the regularly scheduled time.
Naturally, the marked success OF this de-

shadows expansion OF the enterprise. 1t is
promised that there will be increased faciIi-
ties next season. and it is almost inevitable
that advantage of these will be taken by in

a ROAD WAR LOOMS

NIlLL il be necessary to appoint n COM
w mission to negotiate peace between the
highway authorities in New Jersey and
Pennsylvania and establish II grandly at
The Hague, with orders to find a way by
which two adjoining American States may
seem less like enemy countries?
The proposal formulated by the Free
holders in Jersey to tax 'foreign'' motor
owners % month for the use Of the
States roads has a peculiarly European
sound. 1t would appear at first glance Ike
return 70 the exclusion codes of Colonial
days. Yet il is not without some basis In
reason.
Clearly the scheme represents a mood Of
irritation and growing resentment Of the
FreehOlders not against passenger carrying
motorcars especially, but against those truck
users who persiStently abuse the privileges
Of their road licenses by dsregarding laws
made for the conservation of new highway
systems.
The plan is unscicntifc. 1t will be-. If it
Is carried into practice, rcgrettablo re-
vcrsal from the principle Of motor reciproc-
ity now firmly established between vr-
tually all the States. But such schemes will
be heard of again and again until there is
a hetter organized and more broadly appl,ed
code for the protection Of the road SYSTEMS
now being constructed at enormous cost all
through the East.
What Jersey seems to seek Is means
for tho better regulation OF high speed
heavyweight trucks of the sort which, when
they are overloaded and rcCklcsSly driven,
do enormous damage to costly road surfaces.
There is n minority of shippers who hav"
not vet nerce!vcd that they defeat their own
ends by failure or refusal 10 observe rules
established for load and speed regulation for

established limits tends 70 make continuing
efficient use of the motortruck difficult and
costly through damage 10 highways devised
for quick and easy transportation Of nor
nal loads.
When the strikes are over and talk OF
war has ceased. and we are able AT least 70
think nationally about rational things. II
might be worth while to call n National
Roads Congress TO deal constructively, in
rho interest of taxpayers and motor own
crs alike. with the looming problem Of high
way conservation. Every motor owner
knows that good roads reduce the costs Of
transportation. They make passage easier
oud thev enormously reduce the wear and
tcnr on valuable equipment. The few un'
thinking truck owners who overload their
vehicles and send drivers out to pound good

vast majority Of shippers and property own

ment of the motor industry itself.

WHY MARRIAGES ARE FEWER

TNHE picturesque bur futile campaign Of a
l. marriage promotion organization at
Hammonton, y. j., follows upon cries Of
alarm raised in other South Jersey towns
about the decline in the marriage rate.
But Jersey Is not the only State in which
weddings have grown fewer during the last
two years. In this city there has been IA
constant downward movement of statistics
at the Marriage License Bureau. In 1920
q, ,5S7 marriage licenses were Issued. In
1921 the number dropped to lI,sOG. APP
rJcations made in the present year at the
Marriage Bureau show plainly that there
will be n further falling off for 1872,
1t is foolish TO try TO read any sermon on
social cynicism into these figures. The de-
cline Of marriage statistics follows now, as
Il always does, upon industrial or economic
depression. In every period of uncertainty
or scarce employment or abnOrmally high
prices weddings are delayed or, what Is
worse, postponed indefinitely. 1t is in good
times that the wedding bells ring loudest
and most persistently,

ENTER SENATOR REED

DEMOCRATIC campaign managers put
- what old fashioned stump orators used
to call "the brand Of the corporations on
Major Reed before he was appointed to the
United states Senate as the successor to
the late Mr.. Grow. Mr. Reed actually was
and is a member Of the most influential firm
of corporation lawyers in Pittsburgh. Pre-
sumably his philosophy of politics has ad-
ranced with the times. He cannot be
blamed upon any ground for recognizing the
corporations as institutions necessary to the
well being of the State and the strength Of
the country, and even the comfort of many
of the people who say the bitterest things
about them. But the new Senator is a
young man and modern enough in mind to
have realized by this time that there are
degrees of power to which no corporation
privately controlled may aspire.
Thus it is folly for any captain of indus
try or any group of captains to suppose. as
some of them have in the past, that they
have any right to dictate political courses
or social standards in the areas where they
dominate. Corporations must always re-
main the servants of society and not its
masters. II Is when they have presumed to
fcudal powers and 10 rival the Government
itself in influence that they come into con.
ict with public opinion.
II is possible to recognize fully the great
rotentiality of the modern industrial cor
poration for good without losing sight OF
the fact that it should not be permitted to
exercise, even In a limited area, the powers
OF local or general government. 1t would
be uncompllmentary to Major Reed to as
sumo that he is not aware Of this. He has
seen n great deal Of life within a few years.
and we venture to believe that his social
vision is not limited by the smokestacks and
the dust clouds of Pittsburgh.
