Providing for Governors Secretaries. © Brumbaugws Buttiog In. || Tent legates mm Fate, Buying Postofices. The nomination of WALTER H. GAITH- | ER, Secretary of the Governor, to the important office of member of the Board of Public Utilities, has provoked a good deal of criticism throughout the State. The office is one of vast influence upon the affairs of the Commonwealth. The salary was fixed upon a high basis with the view of alluring the ablest men to the service. high either in experience or ability. His public life has been limited to eight. years in the personal service of Mr. TENER as his Secretary. While in Wash- ington he was paid fifteen hundred dol- lars a year. Since he has been in Har- risburg his compensation was increased from $3000 to $5000 a year. The salary of a commissioner on the Board of Pub- lic Utilities will be $10,000 a year. It has become a custom of retiring Governors to provide snug places for their Secretaries. The duties of the office of Secretary are onerous and pecul- iar. A story told by one who served “befo’ the war,” illustrates the point. “Jim,” said a friend who noticed an im- provement in his apparel, “what are you ; House of Representatives. As the dis- | doing now?” * “I am private Secretary to the Governor,” was the reply. Mr. GAITHER is not rated Republican members of the Legislature who favored other candidates for Speak- er have just cause of complaint against the Governor elect for taking part in the contest in favor of Mr. AMBLER. Some of the other candidates had expended much time and labor in soliciting sup- port. One of them, Mr. BALDWIN, of Delaware county, had made a canvass of the State and secured the personal pledges of enough, or nearly a sufficient number of members, to nominate him. But the declaration of Dr. BRUMBAUGH in favor of his antagonist, the candidate ; of the VAREs, has upset all his expecta- , tions. Promises made in good faith are , broken for personal advantage in the distribution of spoils. Under our system of government the | legislative and executive departments | are separate and distinct and the en- , croachment of one upon the prerogatives of the other is forbidden. It has been (alleged, and we believe accurately, that i no Governor or Governor-elect has hith- | erto participated, directly or indirectly, lin a contest for the speakership of the | pensor of the patronage of his office his The UNDERWOOD law may not be per- fect, scientifically, and between the en- acting clause and the end there may be imperfections of other kinds. But it is easily the best piece of tariff legislation ever enacted by the Congress of the United States and is entitled to a fair test of its merits. Thus far it has not had that test. Within a few days of its approval the European war, which Dun’s Review declares was the most “overwhelming convulsion of the mar. ket” which has occurred “since the be ginning of the modern system of credits in the middle of the seventeenth cen- tury,” begun, and tariff laws and all other commercial systems were literally smashed into fragments. When commercial conditions have ad- justed themselves and the provisions of the UNDERWOOD law are put in operation whatever defects there are in the meas- ure will reveal themselves and may be corrected. Possibly the tax rate upon . Some common article of commerce may | not be exactly right or entirely just to 'the buyer or seller. More likely the schedule on articles of little use and in- | frequent purchase will not be just what “What preference operates as a command upon it ought to be. Butone after another of are the duties of the private Secretary | the members and his power of control these defects in the law can be corrected to the Governor?” continued his inquisi- tive friend. “Well,” said Jim, “I write his messages and black his boots.” ROOSEVELT while President imposed another duty upon his Secretary. He made him assume responsibility for all the blunders of the administration ard do a good deal of the lying. Recent Governors of Pennsylvania have follow- ed that example. Like most of the bad customs now in vogue in this State with respect to this matter, PENNYPACKER introduced the practice of providing an office for his Sec- retary. . Just before the expiration of his term he nominated BROMLEY WHARTON to be Secretary of the Board of Public Charities and Mr. WHARTON being both popular and fit, was unanimously con- firmed: When Governor STUART'S term was drawing to a_close he nominated ¢ ARCHIBALD B. MILLER to for the same sufficient reason. But these were offices of secretarial size and sal- ary. TENER raises his Secretary to the highest plane and puts him in an office intended for the ablest men. But his Secretary must have had an awful job. —1It may be set down as a certainty that Speaker CHAMP CLARK has neither part in nor sympathy with the move ment to run him for the Presidential nomination against WooDROW WILSON. Governor Tener’s Last Message. The last message of Governor TENER was just such a paper as the president of a corporation might submit to the stock- holders at the annual meeting. It gives a statement of the assets and obligations in a practical way and recites the opera- tions of each départment of the business during the year. That the Governor ex- presses pride in the achievements of his administration was to be expected. Most men are satisfied with their own work as administrators and some good has been accomplished within the period of four years. But his praise of the Highway Department will not incline public senti- ment to confidence in his judgment. Governor TENER will hardly be classed among the illustrious chief magistrates of Pennsylvania. He has allowed things to drift along in the ruts made by his predecessors and the best that can be said of his service is that it was free from scandal. Coming“to the office at a time when the public mind was alert to criticism he inaugurated few reforms and permitted no outrages. Considering that his nomination was a reward for personal service rather than a recom- pense for civic achievement, probably there is no just ground for complaint that little improvement in public life fol- lowed his inauguration. In his last message Governor TENER wisely left the matter of recommenda- tions to his successor. As ithe first act of the Senate was to “table” all his re- cess appointments, he may have had a “hunch” that his advice would receive little attention. But BRUMBAUGH. is bet. ter fitted to discuss such questions any- way and will be compelled to execute the laws whether they be good or bad. But the retiring Governor is entirely correct in his view that there is little present need for new legislation. We have laws in abundance and ‘a movement in the direction of improving some of them and abolishing others would be welcomed by the people of the State. ——One source of comfort lies in the fact that within a short time Governor TENER will be at liberty to devote all his time to base ball. | becomes absolute. This is an encroach- | of Representatives. exercising control of the Legislature by the executive. That Mr. AMBLER will make a capable Speaker may be admitted. His legisla- tive experience is ample and his capabil- ity unquestioned. But the same can be said of those who competed with him for the honor. Mr. BALDWIN has had the same length of service and has been much more active in legislation. The only reason Dr. BRUMBAUGH can give for declaring his preference for AMBLER, therefore, is that BALDWIN is not fit and such an aspersion is likely to be resented by the friends of the gentleman from Delaware county. Aside from this mat- ter, however, the interference by the "ship of the House is a dangerous innova- tion which may work evil. discovered a movement in Mexico to extend the term of the Presidency to six weeks. It is to be hoped that the change will not be made until a fitter man than either of those recently elected has been discovered. Friendly but Firm Warning. Having passed the scrutiny of Presi- dent WILSON, the most accomplished phrase maker in public life it is not sur- prising that the protest of the American government against British interference with commerce among neutral nations should be “firm but friendly.” country wants war with nobody and is United States will endure no unwarranted commerce of the country and it was eminently proper that the government of Great Britain should be admonished of the fact, through the proper sources, in a protest couched in firm but friendly Since the beginning of the European war American ships have been frequent- ly overhauled and searched on the high seas and in some cases taken into British ports and detained to the injury of perishable cargoes. Under the provisions of international law this practice is al- lowable where there are ample grounds traband or are destined to belligerent ports. But in some cases the liberty was usurped where such grounds for sus- picion were entirely absent and the pro- test was against such incidents. It is gratifying to learn that the British gov- ernment is rikely to accept the warning in the spirit expressed by its language and correct the evil of which it com- plains. For more than a century the relations between the United States and Great Britain have been not only amicable but turb this prolonged era of peace at a time when so large a part of the world isinvolved in war. But Great Britain is inclined to arrogance and the people of the United States will not patiently sub- mit to ‘wanton injury no matter whence it comes or who is responsible for it. Our friends can be as funny as they like and enjoy themselves to the full measure of their inclinations but they must not get gay or rough house matters too strong. The President's warning was simply a wholesome admonition along these lines. ————r————_—— ——As a matter of fact there is no more reason why the government should guarantee a profit to one man than to another. ——An esteemed contemporary has This | especially averse to armed conflict with i Great Britain.

Bt his friendship for the individuals whose integrity has been impugned should not restrain him from demanding the most rigid investigation of charges which have been bruited about for several months. .. If any man or set.of men have been illegally trafficking in public office, they should be exposed to the public, that they may suffer the just contempt of honest Democrats as well as men of all parties. The Democracy does not con- done such offences, and it is unfortunate that there are a few grasping, greedy leaders who are willing to sacrifice the party’s interests to their own cupidity. Congressman Palmer loudly protests | that such charges are inspired by par- tisanism, but this is not sufficient answer. an investigation would : establish the fact, to the advantage of | the Democracy and the discomfiture of {its detractors. On the other hand, if | they were proven true, the guilty persons i could be removed from the party coun- ‘sels and every honest man would re- | spect the Democracy for purging its | ranks of the unfit and unclean. | If Senator Penrose is playing politics — { mean, dirty politics—he should be ex- posed.

No# that they are no. longer of use to! press of Great Britain aig the Uy by the that nation, but also by the British gov- | ernment toward the protest of the Unit- ed States concerning delays to American commerce due to search of vessels by the British fleet, removes all cause for un- easiness lest any permanent misunder- standing can result from the ‘situation brought about by President Wilson’s firm and well-timed action. | All the British appear to be giving that serious consideration to America’s de- mand which it merits. They are not belittling the importance of the protest ' either from the British or the American point of view. They, both officially and unofficially, are exhibiting a disposition to give due and fair consideration to the | representations of this government and, what is best of all, are manifesting no resentment at the stand taken by this ‘country in its candid yet friendly note. | One of the most encouraging things , about the attitude being manifested by . Great Britain is that the British govern- | ment shows no disposition to quibble i over technicalities. It has been contend- ed that under the terms of The Hague agreement Great Britain would be en- titled to take one year in determining her course with regard to the protest, but it is evident that the British War Office, recognizing that such a delay | would result in prolonging the conditions complained of to the continued detri- ment of American shipping interests, has no intention of exercising its technical , right under international law to postpone adjustment of America’s grievance for such an unnecessarily long period. re ei——— ae On the Job. From the Philadelphia Evening Ledger. The American protest to Great Britain is honey dripping from the honeycomb. It is saturated with the milk of human | kindness. There is the scent of Nebraska prairies about it. One can almost see the peaceful cows chewing the cud under the blooming trees by the side of. the irrigation ditch. If Lloyds could get 15 shillings per cent. as a premium for in- surance against war on the basis of that ‘ kind of document, it is apparent that taking candy from children is not a lost art.
