TTTB BIG ISSUE
"Ty&TXD TRAlfOl'l1 in Pbfladslphln Is gravely
' fiiiiiuiBeiL Bo, too, Is ths future of the
city, wMA dapenda obviously on the correo
ttoa of rtBttng transit toeqntUKlea and the
eoniNiiiiiniitlua of 4m oomptete Taylor Plan.
IjMUJfr-UHlOr tbat no oandldate or set of
eaedMaten opener boatlle to a universal
reoent fern tn the city of Philadelphia
tooM hop to triumph at the polla, The
greet popular npheaval of last winter and
TOrtBfT, which finally drove the obstruotlon
ltu to oarer and oompelled Oonnolls to pro
vldo Cor at least the beginning of the Taylor
program, ws a warning to every doubls
nttflded politician In the ertty. There was not
ene willing at the last to stand up and be
counted ao against the Improvement.
To accomplish by Indirection what could
not be achieved directly, to oheat the people
now of their victory, to nullify all the mag
nificent work heretofore accomplished and
arrange for the institution of an Administra
tion friendly, not to the masses, but to cer
tain special Interests, became therefore the
purpose last spring of the obstructionist in
chief and his subordinates.
"lONSIDEU the situation, Mr. Taxpayer.
Of all the enemies of transit, none has
been so bitter, none so obstinate, none so
narrow-minded, as "Dave" Lane. To him,
therefore, was intrusted the duty of select
ing a "harmony" candidate. It may be that
In his search he took care to get a wooden
raman whom the Vares oould be charmed Into
swallowing; but who is so gullible as to
doubt that a chief requisite of the candidato
In Mr. Lane's eyes was a person who could
be depended on to protect the watered shares
of the Union Traction Company and ham
shackle the entire transit program? And, as
If the very selection of a candidate by Mr.
Lane was not sufficient in itself to convince
the community of the main and sinister pur
pose in view, that other arch foe of transit,
John P. Connelly, was put on the ticket for
City Solicitor, an office of scarcely less Im
portance than that of the Mayor, because
through It must pass all contracts before the
Mayor oaa sign them. This is the John P.
Connelly who has been openly oharged on
the stump with receiving money from the
Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company while
aotlng as chairman of the Finance Commit
tee of Councils. No man can serve two mas
ten. No man has ever done so with Justice
to both, and who is there who can read the'
record for the past year of John P. Connelly
a transit legislation and believe that his
eye was ahigle to the Interests of the
people
rtWJB town has been plundered and pll--MagelJ
as few towns have been, through
rho barter and sale of trolley franchises. So
rotten waa the series of transactions that
nly the powerful hand of Mr, Stotesbury
was able finally to save the day at an. He
put real money Into the situation and res
cued the city frem a transit famine. When
the politicians got through, they had to call
in a financier. Thereafter conditions im
proved, and months ago the present man
agement of the P. It. T. agreed In principle
with Mr. Taylor on the whole plan which has
come to bear the Director's name and Is
known as the Taylor plan. There was no In
dication during the transit fight last winter
that the company was doing anything to
further the plan In which It had acquiesced,
there being a technical point In Its favor
owing to the failure of the Union Traction
Company to undortake Its part of the pro
gram. BUT the P. R. T. stands dedicated today to
the Taylor plan, not part of it, but all of
It, and it may be stated on an absolute fact
that there would be no question now of the
atjNpllshment of the entire program were
tK a that a poterle of politicians believe
thV time la ripe to make a killing and con
laplate putting into pfllce a set of men who
will capitalize the situation for their own
boqeOt. Put it down that every dollar they
would get would bo at tho cost of the' pub
lic. These political adventurers do not get
oomeaJaln for nothing. They give value re-
. cwtved Tfer writ the public interests, for
jr hv only fha public (nterests to sell.
Tb vrty mljfht survive the Joss of roll-
iu uvetebarawi f of construct!! work,
heinous as such a thing would be, but the
city could not endure any more franchise
thefts. It could not endure an agreement
for the operation of tho new lines that
would hand tho city over tied and bound to
any corporation. The now lines, Indeed, are
the one lever with which to compel a uni
versal five-cent fare. Once tliat lever Is
lost It cannot be recovered.
TT IS easy for any man to say he is for
rapid transit. But the time hns come for
tho public to protect ltsolf. To do so It must
demand absolute pledges, not generalities.
Tho peoplo must know where every candi
date stands, not only on the construction of
new linos, but also on tho arrangement for
their operation. Tho public has a right to
demand, and must demand, of overy candi
date a deflnlto and absolute pledge For the
one thing moit vital to Philadelphia, the one
thing that must not be lost In tho Novem
ber election, Is tho transit program.
To this end tho Evening LEDocn will pre
sent tomorrow a scries of questions, consti
tuting what will be known as tho Transit
Pledge. Cut It out and ask your enndtdato
for Councilman to pledge himself on each
question. Find out whore ho stands. Dis
cover If he Is a good enough friend to give
you a flvo-ccnt faro. The Transit Pledge Is
the poople's platform: make your candidate
stand on It.
"QEFORE Mr. Smith can be Mayor he must
-' show that he repudiates utterly the Lane
attitudo on transit.
Before Mr. Connelly can be City Solicitor
he must provo that ho will bo a different
Connelly from tho Connelly who Indorsed the
fake transit ordinance of last March.
Before any man can be a Councilman, by
vote of tho people In November, he must
have written down his transit pledge and
have let his constituents know definitely and
surely how ho will vote on transit matters.
The kind of protection that Is an Issue In
this municipal campaign Is tho protection of
tho transit Interests of tho whole people.
APPOINT THE BEST MAN
THE duty of the School Board In the mat
ter of the prlnclpalshlp of the Southern
High School Is clear. It is to select the best
man avallablo for the place, oven though he
bo a woman. It will make a mistake If It
chooses a principal because she Is a woman
or because ho Is a man. The 'scholastic,
temperamental and administrative qualifica
tions are all that need be considered. The
sex of tho candidates should be Ignored, for
it has nothing to do with the case.
25 YEARS OF HISTORY STUDY
WITH the formation of the Society of the
Cincinnati by the officers of tho Revo
lutionary Army and the Tammany Society
by the private soldiers the country had to
be content for nearly a hundred years. The
Tammany Society has so far departed from
Its original purpose as to become' an organi
zation known solely because It has given Its
name to a political party In New York de
Voted to the exploitation of government for
the benefit of the governors. The Society of
the Cincinnati Is hardly known at all except
by name, though It continues to maintain Its
organization.
Tho women descendants of Revolutionary
patriots about a quarter of a century ago
decided that the men had had things their
own way long enough, and some of them
organized the Daughters of the American
Revolution. They are celebrating today the
silver anniversary of their order with such
exercises as seem to them appropriate. They
have developed an Interest In American his
tory where It did not exist before, and de
serve that commendation which Is bestowed
on all who have broadened the horizon of
any group of citizens.
GOOD SPORTS FROM BOSTON
THE game went their way Saturday, so
the Royal Rooters, who Imported Tessle
for Philadelphia's delectation, could afford
to be generous. Yet they did not know until
the fatal ninth that they were not to be
routed and dispersed, and they were good
sports all the way through. Play for play,
they applauded the Phillies and the Red Sox
when applause was due, and they mado no
demonstration at errors and mishaps, even
when Boston gained by them. It was the
right sort of sportsmanship, shown in the
right way. It added a gracious touch to a
splendid game a game In which there was
only one flaw. It was won by the enemy..
Good Americans who remember Lafayette
do not forget Von Steuben.
Alexander did not weep. He knew that
there are more games to win.
Servla, having started the war, may now

BALDWIN'S AND
HOW IT GREW UP
Every Big Business Has n Personal
History, Which in This Caso
Began With n Jeweler
and an Idea
By EDWARD R. BUSHNELL
PHILADELPHIA Is the Hub tho Hub, of
Industrial America. It Is, in a sense, the
originator of that wondrous transportation
system which unites tho country and is the
admiration and marvel of tho world. The
names of John Fitch and Robert Fulton,
pioneers In the history of tho steamboat, are
closely associated "With this city. Here have
been developed great railroad lines. Here Is
tho homo of tho Baldwin Locomotive Works,
which turns out 40 per cent, of all tho loco
motives used In America and supplies Its
product to every country on tho globe.
"Baldwin's" Is known everywhere, and It
figures prominently In current financial and'
Industrial history as affected by tho mighty
war In Europe.
Oenoral terms fall to give one a true con
ception of tho magnitude of this company's
business and the part It plays In the llfo of
Philadelphia. For a period of 84 years It
has been turning out nn avernge of 609 loco
motives annually. It took 80 years to manu
facture the first 1000, but In the groat rail
road expansion during and following the
Civil War, from 1861 to 1869, the second
thousand was turned out. Tho 10,000 mark
was reached In 1889, the 20,000 mark In 1902,
the 30,000 mark In 1907, and today the 43,000
mark Is near.
Thousands Built Since the "Last"
If all tho locomotives this company has
turned out could bo placed end to end thoy
would stretch from Now York to San Fran
cisco and nearly half way back again. And
today thoy are pulling virtually 40 per cent,
of the passenger nnd freight traffic of this
of overy giant industry of this kind
Is a very human story of struggle, disap
pointment and ultlmato success. Matthias
Baldwin, who established tho works In 1831,
tasted bitterness and disappointment beforo
ho finally succeeded. And even after he had
constructed his first locomotive, Old Iron
sides, he was so disheartened that ho
was ready to give up. Only his lnventivo
genius and the Iron will which urged him
on gave us the Baldwin works. After Old
Ironsides had been built and tested tho
Philadelphia, Germantown and Norrlstown
Railroad Company, for which It was
constructed for a contract price of $4000,
refused to pay this amount because of
certain defects. These were remedied and
a compromise price fixed at $3500. All tho
trouble Baldwin encountered over this first
locomotive moved him to say to a friend In
disgust:
"That Is our last locomotive."
But 42,488 have been built by his company
since then.
When Matthias Baldwin started his career
the building of locomotives waa the last
thought In his mind. Ho learned tho trade
of a Jeweler, and after working In the shop
of a Jewelry firm for a few years opened a
shop of his own In the same trade. It was
tho failure In the demand for his wares that
led him to chango his occupation and even
tually to take up the construction of loco
motives. '
From the Jewelry trade young Baldwin
itook up -.the manufacture of bookbinders'
tools 'and cylinders for calico printing. The
demand fqr these was so great that the
young mechanic determined to Install a
stationary steam engine, steam power Just
then becoming practical. Tho machine Bald
win and his partner had purchased for this
purpose proved unsatisfactory, and Baldwin
determined to design and construct one es
pecially adapted to his work. It was a suc
cess, and the new Ideas It Introduced imme
diately wero adopted by other constructors.
This original stationary engine, built before
1830, Is still In working order, and has been
used to furnish the power in opening six
new departments at Baldwin's.
Jeweler Makes Engines
It was the Interest which the construction
of this first stationary steam engine aroused
In him that led Baldwin to take up locomo
tive building. In 1829-30 the first steam loco
motives were imported to this country from
England. They nttracted so much attention
that Franklin Peale, the proprietor of the
Philadelphia Museum, determined to have
ono for exhibition purposes If he could find
a man who could construct one. He asked
Mr. Baldwin to undertake the work. With
out having seen a locomotive and with the
aid only of the Imperfect descriptions that
had been published of the competition at
Ralnhlll, England, Mr. Baldwin began opera
tions. On April 25, 1831, the miniature loco
motive was put In operation on a pine board
track In the museum. The locomotive
burned both anthracite and pine knot coal,
and the exhaust steam waa discharged into
the chimney. Two cars were attached, and
big crowds went to see the novel spectacle.
That was the real beginning of the Bald
win Locomotive Works. The success of Mr.
Baldwin's model was such that the Phila
delphia, Germantown and Norrlstown Rail
road Company, whose cars were then oper
ated by horsepower, gave Mr. Baldwin an
order, Tho difficulties were enormous, be
cause the young mechanic had no plans by
which to work. The Camden and Amboy
Railroad Company had only recently im
ported a locomotive from England, and it
was then stored in a shed at Bordentown,
its parts unassembled. Mr, Baldwin exam
ined the detached parts, and with tho aid of
a few notes and what he had learned from
the model he had constructed for the Phila
delphia Museum, started in on his work.
Most of the work Mr. Baldwin had to do
with his own hands, for in that day there
were few mechanics competent to do this
sort of work and the proper tools were still
more difficult to get. On November 23, 1832,
Old Ironsides, as the first locomotive was
named, received Its first test.
One of the things of which Baldwin's is
proud is the feat of building a complete lo
comotive from the raw material in Just eight
days. The test was made in 1889, when the
entire locomotive, boiler and tender, and all,
was turned out between June 25 and July 2.
Wonder what the time would be now!

MODERN ROMANCES OF "GETTING ON"
A Few of the Many Instances of the Struggle Up to Fame and
Fortune Show That the Old Tales of Success Under
Difficulties Are Still New
By CHARLES H. BIGELOW
THERE'S no doubt about It. America Is
still a land whero famo or fortuno or
both reward the ambitious boy. The hero
tales of a generation ago aro being repeated
In actual strife for success. Tho romance
of getting on In tho world Is by no means
dead.
In tho early part of tho year a young
woman who speculated in stocks had In her
possession 1000 shares of Baldwin Locomotive
common stock. On March 3 she needed
money badly. The situation was bo serious
that she could not wait longer, though It was
plain that the stock would rlso In value. Sho
could have obtained a loan from her bank
on the stock, but sho knew that sho could
not secure Its full current value Finally
sho asked a very prosperous young man of
her acquaintance to take It off her hands
at 27.
He hesitated, for he saw only a fair Invest
ment. He figured, however, that he wouldn't
lose, and saw an opportunity to be a Good
Samaritan.
Shortly after ho bought tho shares they
began to rise In value, and when the big war
orders started to pour In the stock rose by
leaps and bounds. Tho holder of tho thou
sand shares of Baldwin clung to them until
a few days ago, when he sold them at 124.
Then he found that ho was $96,000 In pocket
above his. original Investment. His acci
dental entry Into the stock market brought
him a fortune In about six months.
In Cabinet and Congress
This, of courso, was an accident, albeit one
of those accidents which manifest a remark
able preference for occurring In America, tho
land of opportunity.
Public life yields many examples of the
achievement of success by long and hard
strugglo Buch as you find described In boys'
books designed to show the young reader
what others have done and what he, there
fore, may also accomplish. The President's
Cabinet contains a majority of such exam
ples. Franklin K. Lai.o, Secretary of the In
terior, was a clerk In a California store at
three dollars a week before he got the oppor
tunity of sweeping tho office floor, washing
the Inky rollers and distributing tho typo
of a country newspaper. Getting under the
surface of things has been one of tho char
acteristics of William B. Wilson, Secretary
of Labor. He literally began that excellent
habit when only nine years old, for at that
early age he had the strenuous task of shov
eling coal Into little cars away down In a
mine.
McAdoo, of the Treasury, began his career
selling newspapers. After that he was a
farm laborer. Secretary Redfleld's father
was wealthy until a fire came and mado
it necessary for the young man to shift
for himself. Daniels learned the printing
trade. Bryan thought out his first political
speech while driving a mowing machine.
Oh, but Bryan isn't In the Cabinet. Another
former Secretary of State often went hungry
while studying law. That man waa Elthu
Root.
Congress is full of them. Champ Clark at
one time In his life fed livestock and chopped,
wood to pay for his board. Senator Reed,
of Missouri, worked on a farm as a young
ster and did pretty heavy work for a young
ster of seven. Senator Newlands, of Ne
vada, was forced to the extremity of pawn
ing his watch to meet his board bill. Senator
Smoot, of Utah, was once a woolen mill
worker. Senator N orris, of Nebraska, was
obliged to leave home as a wage-earner at
the age of ten. Senator Sherman, of Illinois,
a "favorite son" among presidential possi
bilities, walked to college with all his money
in his pocket seventeen dollars. Senator
Cummins, of Iowa, earned his college ex
penses by working in a carpenter shop and
on a farm. Senator Vardaman, of Missis
sippi, raised money for studying law by cut
ting ties on a railroad.
A Variety of "First Jobs"
GalUnger, of New Hampshire, was taken
out of school and indentured to a village edi
tor in Canada when he was a small boy. He
earned eight dollars during the first year.
La Folletto began work at the age of four
teen, carried on a farm of 140 acres, taking
care of a large family and providing the ex
penses of a college education. While at col.
legehe was heels over head in work and
almost broke down from the strain. Senator
Briitow, of Kansas, entered upon marrlod
life in a one-room house The list of "up-from-poverty"
Senators might be further ex
tended. Charles Warren Fairbanks, former Vice
Prealdat, eaoe worked as a carpenter at
$1,2-6 a 4y. Myron T. Herrlck, ex-Governor
of Ofet Hi former Minister to France, ped
14 eHniwar palls for farmers, A brick mason
is Mayer ef at Xul. X year Jewish laual-
"OF COURSE, YOU DON'T MIND IP I
ETant he's wealthy now Is Governor of
Idaho.
Tho Governor of Arizona was a restaurant
waiter. Tho Ambassador to Turkey had to
earn for himself and family when he was a
lad In his teens In New York's East Side.
In many other lines of activity besides
politics and government you will find at tho
top many men who began way down at tho
bottom with nothing In prospect except what
thoy could gain by their own effort. Elbert
H. Gary, of tho United States Steel Cor
poration, was once a $12-a-week clerk. Work
ing many hours a day as a telegraph oper
ator was tho way William H. Canniff started
on the path which led to tho presidency of
tho New York, Chicago and St. Louis Rail
road. A much longer road was taken by
William C. Brown, who started as a section
hand and kept on working until he became
the head of the New York Central lines.
Tho arduous task of digging up tree stumps
fell to tho lot of Robert S. Lovctt, but he
flns.'y reached the presidency of the Union
Pa.-fic. Frank A. Vanderlip, president of
the National City Bank of New York, was
employed at 16 In a machlno shop with
wages of 75 cents a day.
Masters of Amusement
Tho late B. F. Keith, a millionaire amuse
ment promoter, started in business by ex
hibiting a freak baby in a Boston storo for
10 cents admission. Later ho acquired a
museum building, and finally a chain of the
atres all over tho country. The humble Job
of waiter In a "loop" eating house In Chicago
was the business beginning of President
Wecghman, of tho Chicago Federal League
baseball club. He now owns 100 prosperous
restaurants.
There aro many Philadelphia instances.
A reward of $1.50 a week was all that
came to J. Fred Zimmerman, Sr., when he
