their legielative representives is to be
determined by the amount of the ap-
propriations which they secure for the
local charities, Reinforced by this
sentiment back home the legislator ls
forced to submit to the will of the boss
who controls these charity appropria-
tions,
‘* I'he existing methods of making
appropriations to the charitable instil
tutions of the state is responsible for
the fact that our government has be-
come a government of the special in-
tereste, by the bosses and for the
spolle.”
“If these appropriations are justi-
fled they are matters of right and not
favor. Our proposition as embodied
in this bill 1s that the right should be
recognized, that the poor, the mained
and the stricken should be treated and
cared for and that the state should
psy the expense thereof, We would
recognize right of the unfortunate to
treatment and the right of the hosepi-
tal to reimbursement. We deny the
right of a political boss to distribute
millions of dollars of public funds as a
favor to the recipient for the purpose
of creating a debt to him who collect-
ed through the ballot box.

for the benefit of the people and pre-
vent its capitalization #9 an asset of a

Rarely has Pennsylvania’s govern-
ment, crippled by self-seeking politi-
cians tho it be, presented 8a more piti-
able spectacle than the quarrel over
the “spolle” which started last week
between the legislative-created Com-
mission of Public Bafety and Defense
and the gubernatorial 2reated Commit.
tee on Pablic Bafety.
Pennsylvania's course in public de-
feose matiers since war on Germany
was declared by congre's hes been, at
best, lamentable. Bupport of the nat-
ional administration has been confin-
ed mainly to worde—snd many of
these words were resolutions by the
legislatare, produced by Democrats
who, hamstrung by Republican fact-
foaniismo, were unable to go farther
than words. The only exception to
Penvsylvania’s dawdling wes the man-
per in which National Guard units re-
sponded to President Wilson's call for
police duty ; there wa" no opportun-
ity for pettiness,
The Legislature haggled for weeks
over the method by which the $2,000,
000 public defense appropriation ear-
ried in the Woodward-Puckman bill
should be spent. Governor Brum
baugh, baviog consented to a ** wer
board’ headed by himself, allowed
the bill to lie on his desk for days
without action,
No sooner was the money made
available by his signatare than a quar
rel broke out between the commission
snd the committee, Unfortunately,
nobody has been able to flud at the
bottom of the differency the slightest
trace of patriotism. It «imply has
gotten down to the usual quarrel over
the spolle.

British Sea Food.
Whatever may come to Great Brit
ain in the way of high prices for meats
she still will have a limitless supply
of fish, a food supply denied to Ger
many and her allies. The London
market quotes a good demand at fair
prices for turbot, brill, halibut, soles,
plaice, whiting, hake, gurnet, skate,
live cod, red mullet, dories, haddock,
lire and dead eels, ete. English mack-
erel are quoted at four shillings, about
a dollar, for twenty, and dead cod at
seven shillings six pence a stone, that
is $1.87 for 14 pounds. Four boats at
Yarmouth landed, in spite of rough
weather, 180 barrels of fresh fish. The
price of herring went up from 80 shil-
lings to 120 shillings a can-——that is, a
barrel. Along the coast of Scotland
many vessels were out. At Aberdeen
16 vesels, all trawlers, landed a total
of 63 tons. These with one exception
