A Monumental Fake.
tn
The extra session of the Legislature bas
adjonmed and it may be aptly observed
that “‘the mountain labored and brought
forth a mouse.” In other words, after a
session of exactly a month, at'an expense to
the taxpayers of nearly a quarter million
of dollars, afew measures of innocuous leg-
islation have been enacted, nearly all of
which is likely to be repealed before be-
coming effective. Senatorial and repre-
sentative apportionments have been adopt.
ed, it is true, and the mandates of the con-
stitution to that extent fulfilled. But at
an expense of a greater infraction of the
fundamental law. It divides Lancaster
county, when the constitution expressly
prohibits the division of a county unless it
bas sufficient population tojbe entitled to
two senators. Its political unfairness,
and the general gerrymandering resorted
to, is shown by the fact that 400,000 Dem-
oorats are assured of but five districts
while 500,000 Republicans are given lorty-
five.
The Greater Pittsburg bill was enacted
aod a new source of litigation opened up.
It is of interest to the people of that oity,
no doubt, but without any concern out-
side. The Philadelphia ‘‘ripper”’ has
likewise been repealed but it wouldn't
have gone into effect until alter the next
regular session so that there was neither
necessity nor expediency in considering it
at this time. The bills fixing the salaries
of the Secretary of the Commonwezlth and
the Insurance Commissioner are of doubt-
ful merit because of questionable validity.
In any evens they can’t take effect nntil
the expiration of the terme of the present
incumbents and the regular session could
have disposed of them by that time.
There may be ample reasons for a uni-
form primary election law and a well con
sidered measure on that subject would
have promoted political morality no doubt,
But the bill adopted is absolutely without
merit aud if it is not repealed by unani-
mous consent at the next session we shall
be greatly surprised. Its effect will be to
stifle the voice of independent voters en-
tirely and vastly asgment the power of
party machines. That result was not de-
sired by the sponsers for the measure and
they may be surprised that it is achieved.
Bat as a matter of fact, the law as enact.
ed excludes from the primary ballot all
names except such as represent the rega-
lar party or else those who bave been put
on at the instance of the fellow who is a
persistent office seeker.
The State civil service law was defeated
in the House and it deserved no better
fate, having been made unconstitutional
by absurd amendments. The Philadelphia
civil service bill, like the Greater Pitte-
burg bill, is of local interest, and doubtful
valae. The civil service of the city has
been classified and subject to examination
for years and might have continued so
without impairment of public interests fo
another year when the Legislature in reg.
ular seseion could have taken the subject
up in deliberate mauner and made the
needed improvements. The legislation on
the subject of bridge building is deleotive
if not actually vicious. It provides for the
expenditure of a given sum avoually and
the aathorities may be depended upon to
spend the amount, whether needed or not.
The corrupt practices bill might bave
heen made to serve a good purpose if it had
been carefully considered and wisely di-
gested. But it is deficient in various par-
ticulare. For example, it leaves loop holes
for all sorts of cortuption in the provision
which exempts the candidate or committee
from making public expenditures in sums
of less than $10. Thousands of dollars can
ba disbursed to purcbasable voters and it
may be said that the bulk of the bribery
complained of is effected in small sums,
while all sorts of iniquities are possible
with the “blocks of five’ system in vogue
and the “‘orisp $2 bills” in abundance.
But such transactions are made secure by
the bill which falsely assumes to prevent
just such things.
The personal registration bill is partisan
and practically worthless, moreover, while
that for the regulation of the deposit of
State funds is positively vicious. It sob-
veris the constitution in vesting in an ex-
tra-conatitutional commission the duties of
the State Treasurer and perpetuates the
evil system of favoritism by authorizing
the noconstitutional body to award the fa-
| vors, not according to the strength of she
hank or the value of the securities it offers
but in obedience to the inclination of the
members of the commission. The existing
law is infinitely safer and better for io ad”
dition to quite as ample securities there is
aguarautee in the personal respousibility
of the State Treasurer and the security of
kis bondsmen which is absent from the new

pensive failare for which the Governor and

bus to deceive the people by false pretenses
and placate public indignation which bad
been aroused hy the exposures during the
recent campaign. Whether the people
have been fooled remains to be seen but it
is certain that in sofar as it was possible
the majority in the General Assembly has

last November.
And for this kind of work the tax-payers
are robbed to the extent of a quarter of a
million of dollars.
The
Governor is Thankfal
Governor PENNYPACKER has forwarded
to every Senator and Representative in the
Legislature an epistolary [elicitation on
the reszls of the special session. ‘‘I want
to express to you,’’ he has written to them
severally, “‘my very high appreciation of
the meritorious work accomplished by the
Legislature at the recent extraordinary
session, and to thank you for the part you
took in making it a success, The fact,”
he continued, ‘“‘that you participated ina
session of such importance, I am sure, will
ever be a satisfaction to yon.” This is
both interesting and unusual. It indicates
that the Governor imagines that he is *‘the
whole thing’’ and that the Legislature was
simply serving him.
The Governor stops short of his full du-
ty, however, in that he fails to indicate
what constitutes ‘‘the meritorious work"
of the Legislature. There is a good dea! of
uncertainty on that point now that the
people bave had time toanalyze the legis-
lation of the session in question. For ex-
ample, we leara from the Philadelphia pa-
pers that the atrocious machine of that
city bas built upon the SHERN bill which
prohibits political activity on the part of
municipal officials, a lively hope of its res.
toration to power. Is that what makes
the Governor grateful, or ia it the fact the
corrupt practices bill was not passed in
time to stop boodling in Pittshurg at Tues:
day's election ? The Governor ought to
have been more specific.
OI all she bills passed ‘‘at the recent ex-
traordinary session’’ we have the cpinion
of an eminent lawyer, less than a half doz-
en will stand the constitutional test under
jodicial examination. If that is true,
what is there to be proud of in ‘‘the work
accomplished.” Every Senator and Rep-
resentative who participated was under
sworn obligation ‘‘to support, obey and de-
fend the constitution.” Are they to be
proud of the fact that this obligation was
interpreted in a Pickwickian sense and
thas there is merit in perjury ? It isn’t
the fashion among honest men to so treat
sach questions and congratulating men for
doing so is to insnlt their intelligence and
asperse their morals.
Uncle Joe Cannon's Error.
The Hon. Joseri G. CANNON, Speaker
of the House of Representatives at Wash-
ington, is becoming alarmed as the present
tendency toward centralization. “If the
Federal government contioues to cen-
tralize,’’ he declared in a speech before the
Union Leagueol Philadelphia, the other
evening, ‘‘we will soon find that we will
have a vast bureanciatic government,
which will prove inefficient if not corrupt.”
The Speaker is forced to this forbiddirg
apprehension hy recent incidents. The
tendency of the citizens ‘‘of the respective
States’’ to look, not to the state govern-
ments but to the federal government for
redress for all evils, is the basis of his
fears.
“Uncle JOE" ie only partially right.
The danger which he apprehends is pres-
ent, beyond question, and it has been with
us for some years. When labor troubles
assume unosual proportions the President
iatervenes and when ‘‘a son of a distin.
guished sire’ bad his nose broken in a foot
ball game a few weeks ago, the Prerident
undertook to lay down rales for the con-
duct of that exhilerating pastime. But it is
bardly the fault of the people, as Speaker
CANNON alleges. It is the weakness of the
Presidents. That extraordinary and miost
reprehensible lust for power which has
characterized THEODORE ROOSEVELT
through his whole life is to blame and that
alone. :
“Uncle Jog" is equally at fanls in his in-
ferential suggestion thas the citizen should
go to the State government with every triv-
ial grievance he may bave. That is pater.
nalism,another and equally obnoxious form
of centralization. The tribunal which every
citizen ought to keep constantly in mind is
common sense, an essential feature of which
is exact justice. The citizen should cultivate
sell-reliance instead of dependence on gov
ernment, state or federal, and when public
constituents, they will be rendering better
service than in mouthing insincere plati-
todes which bave no meaning.

We continue to follow Mr. LINCOLN
STEFFENS with increasing interest and—
disgusi. In his syndicated article in the
papers of last Sunday he continues his
justification of President ROOSEVELT for
precisely what be condemns in others. He
shows clearly that legislation is purchased
by appropriations for public buildings and
other official favors within the gilt of the
Speaker of the House or the President, aod
confesses that it is the most reprehensible
misuse of power. He proves that such
misase of power is the essence of bossism.
But he protests that the President is no
boss. He “bas elected to go along’ with
the system ‘“‘as far as he can,’”’ hut Mr.
STEFFENS expects him to stop at the right
moment,
The facts in the case may be briefly
stated. The President wants certain legis.
lation. He has certain patronage and the
Speaker of the House has vast power over
legislation. No appropriation for public
improvements can ge through without his
consent. Therefore the President and the
Speaker of the House get together and
subsequently the hint ie dropped that votes
against the President's legislation will cut
off executive and legislative favors, while
sapport of them will secure all that is
wanted. In this way the majorities against
the Philippine tanfl bill, the omnibus
stateliood bill and the railroad rate bill
‘was ‘‘converted into a minoiity,”’ over
night, and the opponents of thore measures
never found out what mystericus influence
produced the result.
We cordially agree that such things in
New Jersey, Pennsylvania avd Ohio are
iniquitous. But why aren’s they equally
abhorrent in Washington? Boss Coxe, of
Cincinnati, Boss Durnay,of Philadelphia,
and other bosses in \arious cities perpe-
trated the same crimes against popular
government and jost administration and
we all rejoiced last fall at their overthrow,
In fact most of us freely gave Mr. LINCOLN
STEFFENS a good share of credit for his ad-
mirable work. But what is the difference
between a President who does such things
and a Governor or municipal official or
boss? It is the system that is to be repro-
‘bated rather than the individual and to
our mind greater harm results from such
conduct in the President than if a less im-
portant official is responsible.

" Absurdly Falsome Praise,
The fulsome praise which has been he-
stowed on Governor PENNYPACKER by the
newspapers of the State on account of what
they are pleased to call the saccess of the
extra session, would be interesting if they
were not so inconceivably -absurd. The
tone of these sycophantic writers implies
first that the measures enacted by the Leg-
islature are the perfection of reform and
that the public is indebted for their pas-
sage entirely to the Governor. As we have
shown in another article, the measures are
not reformative in the least and it can be
positively asserted that Governor PENNY-
PACKER had listle influence in procuring
their passage. ‘That result, wise or other-
wise, was due almost entirely to the efforts
of the Democratic minority in both cham-
bers.
That Governor PENNYPACKER had
neither expectation. of nor desire for re-
form in calling the extra session is clearly
proved by his actions before, during and
since the extra session. He assembled a
notoriously corrupt Legislature to make
such changes in sertain laws as might ap-
pease public indignation and take the con-
tention over them out of the campaign
next fall. After it was shown that he had
failed to include in the subjects for consid-
eration the most urgent measures of re.
form,—the correction of our present infa- | nalisical activity, The corruption of na-
mous election laws,—he issued a supple- | tional politics will only proceed on a grand-
mental call, not to correct his fault, bus to | er scale. A president and a commission
cover legislation intended to hamper State rail
Treasurer-elect BERRY in certain reform
plans which he bad adopted.
In other words, the second call was to
prevent rather than promote reform.
The most meritorious bill enacted dur-
ing the extra session is that known as the
Corrupt Practices act, and the value of
that measure is in the opportunity it af- ||
forded to prevent the outrageous bribery | the
of voters known to have been in progress
at the time in the municipal contest in
