He can praise men on both sides of a question to the satisfaction of all. gle for existence; ethically speaking there Is always a war between good and evil, using the terms in their broadest sense. It is this which makes for progress, since by struggle alone has man risen from the brute level.

Progress comes from within and it is dominated by the human mind. This is why Taft desires a dual political, condition in every section. Xo man is strong enough to have too much power. ZS'o party is wise enough. If the South will take the lesson to heart and promote a public attitude of mind which will permit of a strong minority party, which is ever to be feared, it will grow in national political importance whether a single Republican is ever elected or not.

But as long as the South regulates all its actions with reference to the fear of political ghosts it will continue inert as far as its national influence is of the EagleIs Far Seeing PUBLISHED EVERY DAT IX THE YEAR BY THE INQUIRER COMPANY JAMES ELVERSON Editor and Publisher JAMES ELVERSON, Secretary and Treasurer Address all remittances and othpr business communications to The Philadelphia Inauirer.

At today's session of the Lake Mohonk Conference on International Arbitration, Dr. Wu Ting Fang, Chinese Minister to the United States, who 6poke on "China's Attitude Toward Arbitration." reminded the conference that the art of war was one that had been much practiced in China, and that from a time H. H. Rogers' estate is estimated at from $50,000,000 to $200,000,000 in value. Even the lesser sum is an amount which is beyond comprehension and the earnings of which no man could spend on himself.

Taxed to Keep Men From Starving Says a misguided Democratic contemporary: "England, which depends upon an income tax, has only a revenue tariff, and the people are not taxed on the consumption of every article between Acorns and No. but England is taxed severely on the necessities of the breakfast table and is forced to raise a greater income to provide old age pensions and keep from the poor-house some hundreds of thousands of unfortunate work-ingmen who cannot find employment.

More Abominable Parkway Delay While Councils have paved the way for expending the $1,000,000 available for the Parkway they have again neglected to advance the ordinance fixing the Tarkway lines. There is no excuse, no semblance of an excuse, for this abominable delay.

There is some reason for the lack of enterprise displayed by Councils in this matter, and it must be based upon a deliberate determination to hamper the great project. Some interest is blocking the way, and perhaps it would not take a very energetic search to discover just what that personal Councilmanic interest is. For it is personal and it is Councilmanic and it is wholly selfish. One thing is certain, it will not be permitted to go on much longer. At least the people shall know just what Councilman is stronger than the Mayor, stronger than the Fairmount Park Art Association, stronger than a project that has the indorsement of almost every progressive and enlightened citizen of Philadelphia.

For months the Parkway had been shelved. Now that it has been reported favorably from committee, the same eld inaction is again apparent. It is an outrageous proceeding. The ordinance should have been passed yesterday. Instead, it went over, necessitating more delay, leaving everything in doubt, hampering -building operations and annoying property owners who are barred from making improvements because of the existing uncertainty.

We repeat, that the non-action of Councils is an outrage, and one that righteous indignation cannot stand much longer. M. Buman-Yarilla insists that if the lock-type canal succeeds it will be "A veritable miracle of nature." The expression needs more elucidation than the canal itself.

'Notwithstanding all he continued, "one may agree with such eminent sinologues as Mr. E. P. Parker, when they state that Tmr people have none of the characteristics of a warlike race, and that our triumphs over less cultivated peoples who lived in our neighborhood have been gained by peaceful means than by force of arms.

Cites Confnclni' Tearhingii "How do we account for this absence of warlike spirit in our people? I believe it due in a large part to the teachings of our sages. Whatever might be the shortcomings of our old system of education, it cannot be gainsaid that it insisted upon a thorough study of the ethics of Confucius and Mencius, with the result that their teachings were firmly implanted in the hearts of our ieo-ple. essence of the Confucian svs-tem was that right and not might is king.

The kind portion is as free from military display as is the water portion from naval show. One might almost trael from end to end of it without seeing a single soldier in uniform on either side of the line. What an object both on land and water for those nations at present so heavily cursed and burdened with militarism." Arraigns the thnreli Makeshift Playgrounds A number of misguided philanthropists in New York recently proposed to convert certain streets into playgrounds for the children during a portion of each day.

The plan was to shut off these avenues for a number of hours, prohibit traffic and give tbem over entirely to the use of the children. The proposition is not a new one aud the reasons that have always previously been urged against it are still good today. One objection alone, however, should be enough to condemn the idea. The street as a playground is unhealthy. With all its accumulation of disease iorms.

its nlthiness. its artificial flooring, it could scarcely lie otherwise. The only kind of playground that will not defeat its own object is that established where fresh air can be obtained, warm sunlight that is not reflected from hot asphalt and where the child may rest upon the bosom of the earth itself. A makeshift playground is worse than none at all. Delaware has at last entered the Union on a plane of perfect equality.

How- is he going to put in the time for the next ten months? Training Wireless Operators Recognizing the fact that wireless telegraphy is going to develop a vast field of usefulness the engineering department of the Ohio State University has made arrangements for its study.

An equipment is to be in-si ailed at the University capable of communicating with the stations now being erected at Cleveland, Detroit and various points on the Great Lakes. Expert operators will be turned out. and apparently there will be plenty opportunity for them. Chief McLaughlin, of the Electrical Bureau of this city, recently made a suggestion to Director Clay concerning wireless, and while we do not know that it is so ihe probability is that the Ohio university got its ideas from Philadelphia. It was widely published that Mr.

McLaughlin had advised that apparatus be installed far up on the City Hall toAver. and that some of the higher schools, such as the manual training institutions, be supplied with their own paraphernalia in order that instruc-lion in its use might be given. The proposition was of wider scope than this, for it included placing the police department in touch with the police departments of other cities, also with ships at sea. It was found that the expense to the city would be slight. During the administration of Director Clay and of Chief McLaughlin many progressive reforms have been instituted.

From an old and practically worthless plant, i he equipment of the Electrical Bureau has become a model for every other city in the United States. While ihe entire police department has been" placed on a footing more substantial than ever before, the changes in the electrical end of the Department of Public Safety have amounted to revolution. If the chief of the bureau, because of his intelligent work, finds a positive advantage in taking up the subject of wireless his opinion ought to carry great weight. The height of the tower is such that a station, invisible from the street, could be created that would become the most important in the United States. It could sweep The seas and much of the continent.

There might be something to boast of in that the city possessed such a plant. There certainly would be an opening for instrue-lion in a new field. If the curriculum of the manual training schools could be extended so as to include the study of wireless. Philadelphia boys might lie perfecting themselves in "lectricity and in the operation of wireless plants and eventually find ready employment. It is to be hoped that Director Clay will take up the proposition of Chief McLaughlin seriously.

Poinls in Life Insurance Law Two interesting points in life insurance law have lately been decided by the courts. In one case the question presented was whether the amount of a policy could be collected by the designated beneficiary when the person insured had been killed in a duel. It seems as though the preponderance of reason and of precedent favored the affirmative contention. Suicide in the absence of fraud is not a bar to recovery. Fraud vitiates everything it touches, and where it is proved that the policy upon which recovery is sought was taken out with suicide in view, payment cannot be enforced.

Should the suicide occur within a year after the insurance has been issued a presumption of fraud strong as to be virtually conclusive arises, Jrtit wiiere th policy is more than a year old it is not voided by lfic fact of suicide alone. There must be evidence, and it lias to be very convincing evidence, that the deceased was intending to kill himself sooner or later when the policy was applied for. But if a policy is not necessarily voided by suicide there appears to be no good and sufficient reason why an insured person should forfeit the protection for which he has paid by becoming party to a duel. He does not engage in the duel with the expectation of losing his life. As a matter of fact, most duels are harmless if not bloodless.

It is the exception when one'ends fatally and if there is any killing to be done each of the combatants counts upon killing the other fellow. It is true that when a policyholder participates in such a contest he subjects himself to an extraordinary risk such as was not contemplated in the original contract. It would be easy to understand why this action should be adjudged to work a cancellation of the policy if it were not for the rule which has been established in suicide cases. There is an imaginable distinction in this respect that suicide may be held and is largely held to imply insanity. Anyhow, in the case under consideration the company won out.

Another case just adjudicated involved the liability of a life insurance corporation on a policy whose subject was put to death by process of law. Here the policyholder was hanged for wife murder and as the company refused to pay the amount of the policy the dead man's heirs brought suit. After a litigation extending over several years they have obtained a decision from the United States Court of Appeals, which will compel the company to pay a claim of $20,000. It is not easy to reconcile the two adjudications. If the man who fought a duel exposed himself wantonly to a risk which had not been contemplated in the contract, surely the man who murdered his wife did the same thing in a much more flagrant form.

Or, is the risk which a murderer double standard ot ethics the kingdom of God an ethic for individuals and another for groups. If a Christian man insists on taking his case to the bar of reason and using all mercy compatible with justice, the Christian nation will insist on arbitrating its The possibility of the adoption tomorrow of a platform favoring a limitation of armaments among the nations is believed to be indicated by the conversation of leaders of the conference.

(Second I'loor, Market Street) Taft in the South President Taft has been in office such a short time that he has not made many public speeches and it has so hap-p( ned that up to date most of them have been in the South or have had reference to the South, as was notably the case in his speech at the Union League in this city last month. Two speeches in Virginia and one in North Carolina have brought out the measure of the President's mind in a peculiar manner. They show surprising psychological qualities. They are plain and direct and yet have a quality which is indescribable, but which is not lost even in cold type, while reports indicate that the audiences have been affected to an unusual decree. The sectional question has been fought out by militant orators, by ambitious politicians and local demagogues.

It has been wept over and. if we may be allowed the term, 'slobbered'' over by emotional writers, and there has been much slop-over at postprandial speeches when conditions are ripe for sentiment of a vaporing kind. All these factors have been prominent for some years without greatly changing the situation. Time and practical considerations have done much, but it has been left to President Taft to deal with the matter in a direct manner with a delicacy that has not only opened no old wounds, but lias cemented the two sections. Suits True to Color And Serg To Throw Out the Water Meters In Chicago the Council Committee on Water has just recommended for passage by unanimity an ordinance providing for the abolition of the three thousand water meters which that city now has in use.

This action was taken on the recommendation of the superintendent of the water department who reported that these meters cost the city money, inasmuch as it was so expensive to keep them clean and in repair. Yet it is not so long' ago, although it seems quite a while, since the people of Philadelphia were being told that the water supply problem of this city could only be solved by putting a. water meter in every house and making people fill their bath tubs at so much a pint. It was the opposition of The Inquirer that defeated that precious scheme and now every household enjoys an unlimited supply: of pure filtered water at the same old rate. Some men have cause to-be thankful that the public memory is short and that any one who drops out of sight is quickly forgotten.

Those were great times of their kind when squads of school boys were kept busy spying on people who used the hose too freely in watering the lawn or wiiose spigots permitted a drop or so to escape!
