A sample copy of the ‘“Watchman'" will be sent without cost to applicants, Two Things Made Certain. No matter who is nominated for Mayor of Philadelphia or what is the result of the contest between Judge Monahan and Mr. Vare's per- sonal counsel for district attorney the factional war in that city has made two things certain. One is that the Vare machine will be dis- rupted beyond possibility of repair and the other that Governor Pin- chot will become the absolute boss of the Republican party of Pennsyl- vania. And he will not be an “easy boss.” He will be hard-boiled in every sense of the term. Cameron, Quay and Penrose had some of hu- man sympathy in their systems. They could “give and take” in emer- gencies. But Pinchot is uncom- promisingly selfish. He wants every- thing his way. The Vare machine is the rottenest bunch of hijackers that has ever been organized with the possible exception of the “Strip” pirates in Pittsburgh. It has been held to. gether by “the cohesive force of public plunder” for years. But ever since physical infirmities im- paired the energy of Vare, signs of decay have been apparent. Selfish ambitions have caused jealousies which have developed into hatreds, and though Vare seems to have won in the last contest his victory was too expensive. He sacrificed every- thing of value to a party leader and got nothing in return. He enlisted an ally who despises him and will betray him at the first opportunity, as Mackey did before him. But the gain and the glory of the scrimmage goes to Pinchot. It will give him a majority in the Senate, and during the extra session which he will call next Spring such legis- lation as he desires will be enacted. A new Congressional reapportion- ment bill which will guarantee him a substantial majority of the delega- tion to the National convention will be passed, and he will thus be in- vested with power to make what bargains he likes with the Hoover managers. What form his demands will take can only be guesses but they will be ample. It may be that he will want the Vice Presidential nomination or he may only exact a securely endorsed pledge of all Penn- sylvania patronage. ———— Hoover Now Willing to Help. President Hoover “has been en- gaged for three weeks in the study of the unemployment and relief prob. lems, in anticipation of next winter's sufferings,” according to press dis- patches from Washington. For this he deserves commendation. The sub- ject is one of grave importance and the prospects gloomy. The concen- Sus of opinion is that both unem- ployment and suffering will be great. ter next winter than last. It is gratifying, therefore, to learn that the matter of relief is receiving con- sideration in advance. A year ago the spectacle of approaching misery made no impression on the mechan- ical mind of the great engineer. This time last year the Presiden- tial mind was occupied with ques- tions of concern to capitalists in. stead of laborers, of interest to mil- lionaires rather than paupers. At- tempts were made to divert his at- tention toward relief from impend- ing suffering but they were futile. He interpreted any legislation in that direction as a “dole.” But tar. iff taxation seemed to him a benef- icence because it served to reim- burse contributors to his campaign fund and held out inducements for the renewal of that favor next year. | That which is a dole to labor, ac- cording to his reasoning, is a just reward to capital. The color of the paint makes a vast difference in the appearance of a building. The destitution which prostrated millions of men and wo- men of the country last winter fail. ed to inspire even pity from the White House, and the President op- posed every practical form of relief. But now that we are on the eve of a Presidential election he is ready to invoke every conceivable form of relief that is offered. But tkls eagerness to help is not inspired by sympathy for the sufferers. It is the result of an overwhelming anx- ety for votes next year. Mr. Hoover has no system. —————— i ———————————— ——A month old infant son of Mr. and Mrs. William A. Bickle, of Stormstown, was found ‘dead in bed, last Thursday morning. Corner W. R. Heaton investigated and pro. nounced the cause of death as the result of an internal hemorrhage. Coldren, widow of William H.
