advantage in having Senator CLAPP as
temporary president of the Republican
National convention. Some weeks ago
he was appointed chairman of a com-
mittee to investigate the expenses of the
last two Presidential campaigns and has
never told the public anything about it.
As temporary president of the conven-
tion he would have a rare chance of tell
ing about the deal between ROOSEVELT
and the late Mr. HARRIMAN.
—The coming Republican National
convention promises to be a great, double,
mammoth affair with two Uncle Toms
and two little Evas. Already the TAFT
forces have asked ELIHU ROOT to act as
temporary chairman and the Colonel has
just sent an invitation to Governor HaAp-
LEY, of Missouri, to act in the same ca-
pacity. Which one of them will finally
land in the chair depends entirely upon
which side will control the convention,
but the incident serves to show that
neither side proposes a middle ground on
which a harmony platform might be
built.

What do the so-called Progressives
complain of?
They say that the constitution is not
adapted for government under present
conditions. In what respect is it defec-
tive? When it was adopted the United
States consisted of thirteen States with
an aggregate population of less than
4,000,000. Now we have forty-nine States
with a total population ot upward of 95,-
000,000. Then the wealth of the country
was a negligible sum. Now it is more
than $123,000,000,000. We have developed
resources with marvelous rapidity. We
have made splendid progress in educa-
tion, art and morality. We have grown
faster and better in every respect than
any other country in the world since the
beginning of civilization.
All these results have been achieved
under the preseat constitution and
through the agency of our present form
of government in so far as government
has anything to do with the matter.
It is true that the industrial and com-
mercial life of the country has been ex-
cessively taxed as the result of profligacy
of administration and inordinate ambi-
tion to figure in world affairs.
But these evils have not been because
of the constitution or by reason of our
form of government. On the contrary
they have been in spite of both and are
attributable mainly to failure to adhere
to the provisions of the constitution and
the requirements of our form of govern.
ment.
If we had been faithful to both there
would be nothing to complain of in these
respects.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT appears to be the
principal protagonist of the theory that
our form of government is defective or
inefficient. He has been disappointed in
his ambitions and wants to do away with
what he imagines is the cause of his dis-
appointment.
In this State BILL FLINN and WILLIAM
T. CREASY appear to be the leaders in the
movement to abolish the constitution and
alter our form of government. Both are
discredited politicians. So long as the
Democratic leaders paid CREASY for re-
maining in office after paying his ex-
penses in getting elected to office he was
a very docile and placid party man. But
the moment they left him to his own re-
sources he failed of election and turned
reformer.
——After all a good deal depends upon
the nerve of the Republican National
committeemen. If ROOSEVELT can brow.
beat them TAFT’S cake is dough.
Rough House Probable.
Really the prospects for “a rough
house” at the Republican National con-
vention are growing beautifully bright.
As long as the talk was simply of contest-
ing delegations and bolting candidates
little interest was taken by the average
citizen. Those things are tame and un-
exciting. But when the managers of one
faction talk of overthrowing the action
of the National committee in the per-
formance of its usual work, by force, and
those of the other declare that they “will
put their backs against the wall and
fight to a finish,” we have no alternative
except to “sit up and take notice.” If
such talk means anything it implies a
physical encounter between the forces.
The National committe has selected
Senator Root of New York as tempor-
ary chairman of the convention. Almost
since time out of mind the National com-
mittee has exercised this power. In fact
the rules provide for such a disposition
of the question. But Mr. Root is not
agreeable to THEODORE ROOSEVELT. The
“Coinel” once said that he “would crawl
from the White House to the Peace
Monument on his hands and knees if he
could thereby make RoOT his successor
in the Presidency.” Later on he changed
his mind about ROOT because that gentle-
man wouldn't give approval to some of
ROOSEVELT’S absurd caprices and now he
will convert a National convention into a
mob in order to show his antipathy to
Roor.
Of course these things are disgraceful.
They indicate a complete abandonment
of all ideas of propriety and decency
which brings the blush of shame to every
sane citizen of the country. But what
else can be expected when a man, drunk
with ambition, is put up on a pedestal
and fairly worshipped by millions of men
who either do not understand or don't
care for the consequences. The most
avaricious grafter who has ever polluted
the public, THEODORE ROOSEVELT ought
to be held up to public execration instead
of being supported for President, in con-
tempt of the admonition of WASHINGTON
and the traditions of the country. Itis
lamentable.

What’s the Matter with tha Government? |
Prostitution of the Press.
The new scandal in Pittsburgh promis-
es to surpass in sensationalism anything
of the sort which has preceded it, and
that is saying much. Some years ago a
considerable number, if not a majority of
the members of council of the city, were
indicted and half a dozen of them sent
to the penitentiary. A number of bank-
ers were also involved in that corruption
and convicted. But the present scandal
leads closer to the seat of power. Two
members of the Mayor's cabinet are di-
rectly accused of crime and the Mayor is
involved to an extent. But the gravest
of all the charges, made by those claim-
ing to have investigated the matter, is
that all the newspapers of the city have
been muzzled in order to conceal the in-
iquities of the municipal mal-administra-
tion.
The Pittsburgh Post, which is general-
ly known, and announces itself, as a
Democratic newspaper, is among the
publications thus aspersed. For more
than sixty years our Pittsburgh contem-
porary was an honored leader of thought
in western Pennsylvania. For more than
half that span of time it was edited by
that sterling Democratic philosopher and
statesman, Hon. JAMES P. BARR. During
the period of his management of the
property the finger of suspicion was
never pointed toward the Pittsburgh Post.
It was not only reliably Democratic but
it was earnest, honest and able. It was
as fearless as it was earnest, efficient
and faithful.
But according to the evidence, said to
be at the command of the Voters’ League,
an organization created for civic better
ment in the community, this organ of
PAs
Democracy has been prostituted. Ever
since the death of the lamented Colonel |
BARR it has been degenerating in its po-
litical principles, and within the last few
years following false doctrines and polit-
ical heresies of the most absurd sort.
We are not surprised at the aspersion |
against the other Pittsburgh papers.
Most of them are controlled by Senator |
OLIVER and some of them by "BLL"
FLINN, one a pensioner of privilege and |
the other a beneficiary of graft. But the |
alleged prostitution. of the Pittsburgh |
Post is a subject both of great surprise |
and deep regret. We earnestly hope it
may be able to save itself from sucha
fate, as proof of this allegation would
justly bring upon it.
——Of course it is impossible to have
any real sympathy for TAFT. A selfish |
pleasure seeker he has never cared enough
for the welfare of others to enlist a
kindly sentiment. But one cdn readily
excuse his resentment of ROOSEVELT'S
vituperation. That traducer of men is
absolutely unendurable.
True, But Also Applicable to Others.
The insolence of someof the representatives of
the Pennsylvania Roosevelt Machine is well
illustrated by a part of them who claim Dauphin
county as their home. Recently the Republican
county committee held its annual meeting, when
the members elected at the late primaries or.
ganized the body and elected officers, including a
county chairman. The leaders of the Roosevelt
movement were not satisfied with the selections
made by the majority, and have organized anoth-
er committee for which they make the claim that
it is entitled to be recognized as the regular or
ganization. This is typical of many of the “holier-
than-thou" breed of politicians who have sprung
into prominence under the Roosevelt banner’
They demand all of the rights of party when they
win a popular verdict, no matter how small the
percentage of those who attend the primaries, bug
whenever they lose what they want under their
party rules they demand it shall be turned over
to them. They seem to think that they can
bulldoze their opponents into giving up under the
threat if they do not they will call Mr. Roosevelt
or ex-Senator Flinn or both to help them take it.
The above we get from the Philadel
phia Record. While there are “lots and
gobs” of truth in its criticism of ROOSE-
vELT Republicans down in Dauphin coun-
ty, it looks to us more like an exposition
of the doings of certain Democratic State
the party organization, in the regular
way, at its last meeting, “organized
another committee” and have since, and
still are, claiming to be the only simon—
pure Democratic State committee in
Perinsylvania. And this, notwithstanding
the fact that the election of a chairman
and the reorganization of that body will
phia contemporary must have had in
mind the work of the “holier-than-thou”
politicians in our own party, whose “in-
solence” has disorganized and disrupted
the Democracy of the State to such an
extent, that with all the opportunities for
success the Republicans are giving us, the
chances are ten to one, that we will get
a worse “lickin,” in the Congressional,
Senatorial and Representative elections
in November next, than has been admin-
istered to us in the last century.
But if the Record did mean the tri.
umvirate of Democratic disorganizers it de-
| vention and the disgusted Republicans

tion of TAPT impossible, either, if he is,
foolish enough to take it. But it makes |
the election of either TAFT or ROOSEVELT |
out of the question. Both together scarce- |
ly polled more than half the Republican
vote of the State. The difference be- |
tween the aggregate vote polled and the |
full poll represents those who are dis- |
gusted with both candidates and refrain
ed from votingon that account. If there
had been an opportunity to vote for any |
candidate of the type of Justice HUGHES |
or Bos LiNcoLN both ROOSEVELT and
TAFT would have been “snowed under.”
The present situation is anomalous. If
TAFT withdraws from the field the
chances are ten to one that the Southern
delegates will be bought up for RoOSE-
VELT and his nomination will thus be
made certain. If TAFT remains in the
running, on the other hand, it is equally
certain that ROOSEVELT will bolt and
justify the actby claiming that the South-
ern delegates are held to the President
through the cohesive force of public pa-
hopelessly split and inevitably beaten. It
is impossible to reconcile parties to such
a quarrel. Every man of decent impuls-
es whether the friend of one or the other
would be disgusted with such an exhibi-
tion of criminal commercialism.

have pointed the way to safety from the

Congress Getting Ready to Adjourn. |
Reports from Washington are to the |
effect that an agreement has been reach- |
ed among Senators to hasten the adjourn- |
ment of Congress. Votes will be allowed
on the various tariff bills without debate
and other necessary legislation will be
“jammed through,” so as to permit ad-
journment before the Republican Na-
tional convention. The touch of thermal
temperature of a week ago probably
worked this result. The Senators have
an aversion to discomfort and Washing-
ton is an exceedingly hot city. But let it si
go at that. It is impolite to “look a gift
horse in the mouth,” and we should be
grateful for the result without inquiring
too closely into the cause.
Some of these tariff bills have been
tied up in the Senate committee on
Finance for four months. During that
time the people of the country were being
robbed of a million dollars a day by the
excessive rates of the PAYNE-ALDRICH
tariff law. During the late winter and
early spring months thousands of chil-
dren were infected with tubercular mala-
dies because of insufficiency of woolen
clothing on account of excessive tariff
taxes. But these facts made no impres-
sion upon the minds of the Republican
Senators who controlled the action of the
committee. It was the tired feeling which | to
comes with the advent of torrid weather
that worked the determination to do |
factionists, who, failing to get control of | things.
Yet there was another cause which had
its influencing effect. The predatory
barons who have been taking the toll
from this harvest of death and distress
have come to realize that political ex-
igencies require action on the tariff bills
by the Senate. It is no longer possible
to fool even a majority of the people all
the time and the suffering voters are be-
coming incensed against a policy which
works evil all the time and good never
Therefore inthe hope of saving the party
they have concluded to allow their Sena-
torial servants to act for the public good
now rather than a few months later when
tariff reform would become as certain as
the change of the seasons.

vester trust will get the worth of his

from him. No word ever came and the
Harvester trust was not prosecuted.
George W. Perkins, who organized this
t in violation of the law and who
might be in the penitentiary if the crim-
inal provision of the anti-trust law had
been enforced against him, is now con-
tributing the money bei by Roose-
velt to secure a renomination.
If all this is true, it might be asked,
why is Roosevelt so popular in many
sections of the country? The answer is
because not one out of athousand knows
about the action of Roosevelt in giving
Perkins and the Harvester trust immunity
from prosecution. Education of the pub-
Vein a matter like this is slow and diffi-
cult.
Lewis Against Wilson.
From the Harrisburg Star-Independent.
Mr. Alfred Henry Lewis, who has writ-
ten much that is good, much that is
easing, and much that is remarkable,
s come to the assault of Woodrow Wil-
son at the behest of William Randolph
Hearst, who, having decided that he is a
Democrat this year, is hitting Democratic
heads that are carried too high to please
him. In lending himself to this service
Mr. Lewis, who has had many admiring
friends, cuts a sorry figure. It is to be
that the man who censures Mr.
Wilson for applying for a Carnegie pen-
on, because the Carnegie gi is
“tainted,” could himself to write a
denunciatory article for Mr. Hearst.
In that article Mr. Lewis condemns
Mr. Wilson for everything he did and for
everything he omitted doing. The Gov-
ernor's intentions and motives are twisted
and distorted to fit the pu of Mr.
Lewis, and some of this gentleman's state
ments are almost childish. In the mat-
ter of this Carnegie ion, for which
Professor Wilson applied when he retired
from the presidency of Princeton, Mr.
Lewis says: "No two men, as to any
subject, are ever found to think alike,
and all depends upon a point of view. For
myself, I do not q n the purity of
Mr. Wilson's motives.” And then he
proceeds to flay him for applying for the
pension, and that: "I confess that I
cannot see how he brought himself to do
it.” Itis hardly worth while to pursue
the subject further after that.

all dogs to wear a collar to be provided by the
owner, together with a tag to be attached thereto
showing payment of tax, which tag must be sup-
plied by the County Commissioners. It is the
duty of constables to look after such dogs as have
not been tagged or on which there has been no
tax paid, and if the tax collector cannot collect
the dog tax then he must inform the constable of
the district, who shall get out his trustv gun and
shoot the untagged dog and the owner has no
redress.
