WIN PENNSYLVANIA
NEW JERSEY cannot set back tho clock.
It can no more prevent woman suffrago
tryirj tho secession of whole States was ablo
to prevent abolition. There are some causes
so Inherently Just, bo obviously fair and
right, that no obstacles can hold them from
their final goal. No question Is ever settled
until It Is settled right.
Thero were powerful Interests at work to
drive the women back In New Jersey. Tho
politicians saw In the program the death
knejl of their control. Their only chance
wajt io beat the women when tho women
wero without tho vote, for they realized that
tlioy could never defeat them when they did
ha,ve tho vote. Wherever there was organ
ized graft or disreputable business, there was
anti-suffrage sentiment strong. Yet, In spite
of everything, the women polled for their
cause an enormous voto and proved beyond
question their political capacity.
Suffragists in Pennsylvania need not feel
discouraged. Here Is a different battle
ground, ready to be won. That tho State
has a soul-hunger for better things, for
righteous things, was shown by Its avid
reach In 1912 for social Ideals. Extension of
the full powers of citizenship to women Is
the most practical and feasible means of ele
vating the electorate and giving to It a surer
moral vision. It Is certain, therefore, that
thousands of progressive and earnest men
will not let this opportunity pass, but will
rush to the polls to vote a welcome to the
womep. Suffrage may be beaten In Penn
sylvania, but there is no reason now to an
ticipate so unfortunate an outcome of the
persistent, capable and earnest campaign
whfch has been waged.
BRYAN IS STILL IN THE AIR
PROM the moment of his first entrance
Into public life Mr. Bryan has shown a
remarkable capacity for projecting himself
Into the air and talking about things which
do not exist. The world In which he lives
Is unreal and the remedies that he proposes
for evident evils would make the evils worse.
His financial heresies have long since been
exploded, and his latest fad" of disarmament
lrifca. world of wars rests on no firmer foun
dation. Yet It Is doubtful If a movement
more fortunate for the country could be
started than a disarmament propaganda in
the Democratic party. It would split that
organization so effectually that thero would
not be tho least doubt of the election of a
Republican President and a Republican Con
gress next year, committed to a program of
adequate preparation for any eventualities
lrf world Inhabited by men rather than
a fig els.
CAMDEN'S CELEBRATION
ALTHOUGH Camden Is in another State,
-It is part of Philadelphia. It has grown
from a small community to a thriving city
of more than 100,000 population because it
is near this great commercial centre. Phil
adelphia overflows on all sides and .spills
eorao of Its enterprise and energy across the
Delaware Into Camden, JUBt as New York
expands Into Jersey City.
The carnival across the river is, therefore,
of as much interest to Philadelphia as to
Camden. We look with pride upon the ex
hibition of Camden's spirit, its elation at Its
grpwth and its confident belief that what
has already happened Is only a promise of
greater things in store in the future. If
there were no enterprise and Initiative there,
the city would still grow, because Philadel
phia needs that territory for expansion to
the east, but when tho advantage of its lo
cation is Joined with the enthusiasm of its
business men, there is every reason for be
lieving that Us prosperity has only begun.
ENGLAND AT WAR, NOT AT LAW
THE talk of Bonar Law as successor of
Asqulth as British Premier Is due to the
prevalent belief that a great business execu
tive and not a lawyer should be In charge
of the Government In the present crisis.
This feeling has found expression In the
remark that the Ministry does not seem to
realize that Great Britain is at war and not
at-law with Germany.
Oonar Law is, or has been, a great iron
merchant. He is chairman of the Glasgow
Iron Trade Association, and is a business
executive of wide experience. He was not
v briiliaat success as a parliamentary leader
vfcean he displaced Balfour In the premier
ship, hut the British have grown weary of
4(Miw'ntary politics. They are demsnd-
r action In the field and the organization
, ) arla big enough to Insure victory.

a addition, there Is a growing; feeling that
rf Jjave been too many bossesnot only
InMat Tlrltcfn hut In Va rviiinMla nf thn
Allies. If they are to win there must b
greater unity of purpose and ot; action.
The British doubtless know, as w kJw In
uuerlra, that men without business train
ing Lav, dexsiopes great sxeouUvs tUMim
when, confronted by a crisis. Wneo'n was a
lawyer and not a business man. Grant was
a business failure and would not have been
selected to manage a corner grocery store
when the war broke out; but events proved
that he was a military genius) and Llncotn,
when put to the test, proved his capacity to
steer the Government wisely through a most
trying period and his ability to know a great
soldier when he found one,
Asqulth has failed In this crisis, not be
cause he Is a lawyer, but because his abilities
nre not of the kind needed. If Bonar Law
should take his place nnd succeed It would
be for tho reason that ho has tho qualities
needed and not primarily because he Is ft
business man turned politician.
SIDESTEPPING
CANDIDATE SMITH took tho Transit
Pledge under consideration more than a
week ago. He promised a quick answer.
Ever since he has been sidestepping and
dodging. Why? Perhaps the answer can be
read In the statements of William N. Lo
Glcrso, Organization candidate for Common
Council In the 4(th Ward:
I am In favor of transit, but I won't sign
anything or pledge m self that's something
thn Organization has not naked me to do.
I wouldn't dn.ro sign It. The Gang's got
seven divisions out here and they can do
me more harm than your paper can good.
They'd knife mo and I wouldn't have a
chance. I am going to see the leader to
night nnd will let you know, but I won't
sign anything now.
Evidently Mr. LeGlcrae saw tho leader, for
the next day he telephoned: "Nothing doing;
can't sign anything."
There Is but one chance for this city to
have adequato transit facilities and be put
on an equality with other great cities In this
respect, and that Is by tho defeat of candi
dates who sidestep or are Insincere and by
the election of men who are enthusiastically
devoted to this great public enterprise.
THE FABLE OF THE FAGOTS
THE plans of the Chamber of Commerce
to become a federation of commercial or
ganizations are working out satisfactorily,
for tho neighborhood business men's asso
ciations are showing a disposition to afllllate
themselves with the central body.
The advantages of this arrangement are
so great that it has met with no opposition.
Under It, when tho Logan Improvement As
sociation seeks better Arc service, Improved
pavements or lighting, or any of the other
benefits that the district deserves, It can
swing the influence of tho business Interests
of the whole city Into line for the changes.
It has taken a long time for tho business
men of tho city to learn the lesson of tho
old fable about the bundle of fagots, but
they know It now.
THE COLLEGE ATHLETE
THE Ave men who have, apparently of
their own volition, dropped from Yale's In
tercollegiate athletics, have done a double
service to tho cause of the amateur player. If
their resignation was not forced, they again
demonstrate the growing honesty of Inter
collegiate encounters. They have even pro
vided an opportunity for generosity on the
part of other colleges, and a rumor has It
that Harvard will take advantage of this,
asking, unofficially, for the reinstatement of
Legore and his associates.
A still greater service Is that to a clearer
understanding of the amateur status. Tho
Ave men were playing on an amateur base
ball team during the summer. The team
never paid salaries to Its players, but In tho
case of the Ave men was willing to give them
free board. On finding that this was a vio
lation of tho intercollegiate rules, the ath
letes refused further support. They are now
disqualified in the very crisis of Yale's ac
tivity. It seems that the players and the govern
ing board are equally at fault. The board
acknowledges that It was remiss: It Implies
that tho rules had not been enforced. The
players have done the one thing possible.
Wouldn't it bo ndvlsable to revise the laws
bo that they might be understood and be
sensible?
OUT FOR A KILLING
AN evening contemporary announces that
."the effort to make a campaign Issue
out of the extension of rapid transit lines
Is futile and Impotent," and two or three
paragraphs further on declares that "next to
the question of the tax rate, and possibly
80-cent gas, the question of universal free
transfers comes nearer tho individual citizen
than .any issue put forward In this cam
paign." Our contemporary Is right the second time.
How really big this issue of the operation
of the new lines is may be gathered from
the obstinate refusal of Smith and Connelly
to do anything but sidestep. The Gang Is
out for a killing at the expense of citizens
who use street cars.

THE ATTORNEY
FOR THE DEFENSE
Some Cases From tho Two Years'
Record of the "Public Defender,?
Who Looks Out for the
Penniless
By SAMUEL HARRIS
CALIFORNIA has a good-slzed reputation
as a melting-pot of political and govern
mental Ideas. Thoso that aro put Into prac
tlco teach the people of tho country many
valuablo lessons. The county of Los Angeles
has a "public de
fender." The second
anniversary of tho
establishment of tho
office Is near at hand,
and facts relative to
tho success of the
oxperlment In the
two-year period aro
now available At
the recent session of
the State Legislature
a "public defender
bill" failed to become
law becauso the Gov
ernor did not sign It
within the required
tlmo; but the meas
ure received In hnth
WALTON J WOOD houeca a tollU of m
votes, as ngalnst nlno Jn tho negative, an
Indication, it seems, of public approval.
Tho aim In establishing the ofllco In Los
Angeles was to place tho penniless defendant
on an equal footing with tho accuser, the
State. It Is tho theory of Anglo-Saxon Juris
prudonco that among the duties of tho public
prosecutor shall bo Included tho duty of de
fense; but It Is common knowledgo that prac
tice has deviated far from this theoretical re
lation between prosecutor and defendant. Tho
Job of tho District Attorney, theoretically
Judicial, Is political, nnd his record In office
Is Judged by tho number of convictions ho
has been ablo to secure. Tho situation Is
natural, Inevitable, lndeod, but It hardly
gives the accused tho opportunity to which
ho is entitled. Tho law prescribes, of course,
that every defendant, however poor or Ig
norant, may have counsel, and the usual
method Is tho appointment by tho Court of
nn attorney to represent him. This method,
though It must bo said that thousands of
lawyers have as much public spirit as the
thousands of public-spirited physicians, does
not lnsuro In all cases tho faithfulness of
service and tho ability found on tho prose
cutor's side of the fence. The public prose
cutor of Los Angeles, however, employs In
the defense of an accused person the same
activity which the District Attorney em
ploys In his prosecution, and ho has behind
him the same wealth and machinery that of
the county of which he Is an officer. It Is
constructive work that Walton J. Wood Is
doing In the "Legal County Hospital," of Los
Angeles, as a few instances will suffice to
show.
The Story of a Thief
Here Is the story of a recent caso described
under tho title of "People vs. Black": "Black,
a stranger In California, had no work. He
lived on nothing at all some days, and little
enough at best. Finally he entered a build
ing, stole some tools, sold them and spent the
money at an employment office. Ho was ar
rested and confessed. Tho Court hesitated
to grant probation, because the man, with
neither friends nor employment, was likely
to have Increasing difficulty In keeping
straight, and would undoubtedly have sent
him to Jail had not the public defender f jund
compatriots of the prisoner who promised to
employ htm, and thus persuaded the Judge to
release tho man on probation."
Here is another Instance of the service
performed by tho public defender. It was
brought out In court that two men accused
of burglary were starving when the offense
was committed.
The Judge placed little reliance on the story
when it was related by tho men themselves,
but tho public defender proved that they
had made sincere and earnest efforts to se
euro work and food. After tho facts had
been presented In full one man was released
and the other let off with a light sentence.
Had the case been conducted In tho usual
manner, It Is highly probable that no rigid
Investigation would have been made for lack
of funds.
In a murder caso In Los Angeles an excep
tionally remarkable precedent was set under
the new order of things. Tho mental condi
tion of tho prisoner was In question. Tho
common procedure in such cases Is to array
alienist against alienist, even dozens against
dozens. The prosecutor and the public de
fender, co-operating as agents of the county
government, Joined in asking the Court to
appoint three disinterested physicians. No
other expert witnesses were called.
The two years' experience In Los Angeles
has shown that criminal cases are moro
speedily handled than before the Innovation.
Tho public defender, It should be added, la
a man of at least equal ability with the pub
lic prosecutor, and the time and facilities
at his disposal are the same. So useful has
the "legal hospital" provedthat Mr. Wood
has a staff of eight deputies, beside his In
vestigators and clerks. Yet the county has
saved money. The reduction of litigation
and the efficiency and rapiJIty In handling
cases have brought this result. Though tho
record of the public defender In criminal
cases Is the more spectacular, tho work In
civil cases is no less interesting and helpful.
He has assisted more than a thousand per
sons In civil matters,
A Bit of a Crank
Tho man who holds the unusual title Is a
young man, a graduate of Stanford. His
profile Is keen and a bit masterful, but when
you stand before him you see geniality and
humor In the expression of his face. For
several years he practiced law in the Philip
pines, returning with Innumerable Instances
of Judicial wrong at his tongue's end. He
was appointed a deputy city attorney of Los
Angeles, When the revision of the city char
ter was an Issue in Los Angeles he Joined
another lawyer of that city, David Evans,
"the father of the public-defender Idea,' in
the successful effort to get that Idea Incor
porated Into the new charter. He qualified
for his present posltlori by passing civil
service examinations held for candidates,
"A bit of a crank," some of his townsfolk
call him, adding that "he doesn't believe
thero la such s. thing as a 'criminal class.' "
Mr. Wood is concerned only with courts
of record, but Portland has In Pavld Robin
sob a publlo dsfssr who works In the
poCQ court. One mu(t la PertJand has
been a large reduction of tho number of Ir
responsible arrests.

DIRECTOR DRIPFS AS "MISTER"
Outside of Business Hours and the Time Devoted to Other Civic
Activities, He Is a Collector of Books About Philadelphia.
Some of Them Very Rare
By WILLIAM
THOUGH Mr. Porter has mado public noth
ing that may be in his mind as to the per
sonnel of his cabinet if ho wins In November,
It will surprise no one If Robert Dunning
Drlpps Is continued In tho position he Is now
. - Ailing for tho ro-
raalnder of the
uianKenourg admin
istration. Certainly
no one, not oven
among his political
opponents, doubts
his ability to direct
the affairs of tho De
partment of Public
Safety.
Mr. Drlpps Is not
now to public life,
although but 38 years
old. He has been
prominently Identl
Aed with tho move
ment for the over-
robert D. DniPFS. throw of the contrac
tor bosses Blnce tho great upheaval of 1905,
when he became a member of the old City
party commltteo in the 22d Ward, of which
Mr. Porter was chairman. He Is perhaps best
known now for his work as Aoor leader of
tho Independent forces In Common Council In
the last four years and as executive secre
tary of the Public Charities Association of
Pennsylvania.
In this connection there Is an incident not
heretofore published that throws an Interest
ing light on tho character of the new Direc
tor. Since his appointment by Mayor Blank
enburg ho has been criticised by Organization
followers for dual offlceholdlng. But the fact
Is that at his own request Director Drlpps
ceased to draw any salary from the Publlo
Charities Association when he took charge of
tho Department of Publlo Safety. And he Is
still giving as much time as ho can spare to
tho association without compensation of any
kind.
The Fight for Reform
Director Drlpps has been following Mr.
Porter in various political offices, serving as
chairman of tho campaign committees for
the Independents, as Common Councilman
from the 22d Ward, and now as Director of
Public Safety. But from this it must not be
supposed that the new Director Is not "his
own man." Ho has been In the conference
of the leading Independents for years. He
has proved tlmo and again his value to the
cause of good government by his ability to
see ahead and his capacity for organization.
Director Drlpps Arst met Mayor Blanken
burg In tho 1907 Aght of reformers against
the. contract made In that year between the
city and the P. R. T. He served on the Town
Meeting Commltteo or 15, of which the pres
ent Mayor was a member. When the Aght
was ended the "War HPrse of Reform" sent
for Mr. Drlpps, It is related, and said to him:
"Young man, I want to say that one of
my most pleasant experiences with this com
mittee has been meeting you. You will be a
force In tho Aght for reform."
After the Roosevelt sweep of Pennsylvania
in 1912, Mr- Drlpps was a member of the Ex
ecutive and Legislative Committee of the
Republican State Convention, captured by
the Progressives. In that commltteo he
helped draft numerous bills on social legis
lation, some of which were adopted by the
1913 Legislature, and others, with changes,
by the Legislature of this year.
Outside of Philadelphia Mr. Drlpps Is best
known for his exhaustive pamphlet on
methods of municipal taxation. He wrote
this as a member of Mayor Blankenburg'a
Advisory Committee on Finance, studying
the subject In conjunction with Arthur B,
Post, now a member of the Federal Reserve
Board. Copies of this pamphlet are still be
ing sent for by municipal taxation officials.
The Bureau of Assessments at New York,
ordered (00 copies at the time the report
was Issued and th asked for and obtained
permission t use It as an appendix to. Its'
.annual report, It Is said by experts to fee
om e-f the most thorough publications of its
kins in saUtsnce.
In the Publlo Charities Association, Direc
tor Drlpps has paid particular attention to
plans for the Improvement of Institutions for
the lseane to Pennsylvania, H also has
bsi lntwusly Interested In prison reform.
He hekssd secure the improvements that haye

also Is greatly Interested In the city play
grounds. Physically, the new Director Is not unlike
his predecessor. Ho Is of the samo stalwart
build. Ho has the samo healthy glow In his
cheeks and the samo twinkle in his eyes. Ho
Is an exceptionally quick thinker. When ho
is deeply Interested lu a subject he talks so
rapidly that it requires concentration to fol
low him. His qualities of leadership wero
well demonstrated In his councllmanlc work
as personal representative of tho adminis
tration. Collection of "Philadelphiana"
Mr. Drlpps has one fad tho collection of
pamphlets and other publications on Phila
delphia. When he started this, shortly after
his admission to the bar,n 1901, ho confined
It to publications by lawyers. He now has
more than 150 such booklets, most of them
out of print. His recreation Is reading, In
which his taste Is catholic. He has a growing
library of about 3500 volumes in his German
town home. Tho Director Is generally to be
found when not at work prowling around
book counters. His collection of publications
about the city 'Is said to be surpassed only
by that in the great private library of Hamp
ton L. Carson, ex-Attorney General.
Director Drlpps was born In this city and
educated at Lawrencevllle and Princeton,
graduating from tho latter Institution with
the class of 189S. He studied law in the
office of Blddlo & Ward. He is so wrapped
up in his home and work that ho hasn't
much time for cub lifo, but Is a member of
the Princeton and City clubs. He also Is a
trustee of the First Presbyterian Church, of
Germantown. Mrs. Drlpps before her mar
riage was Miss Made Heron. They have two
children, a boy and a girl.
PORTER'S PUBLIC SERVICE
To the Editor of Evening Ledger:
Sir In reply to D. Clarence Qibboney I, as a
reader of tho papers, repudiate the statement
made as to the Inefficiency of George D. Por
ter for Mayor. I take as my standpoint the
way he Ailed the chair of Director of Publlo
Safety, Just vacated by him. What we want
today is an honest, upright, reliable man and
some one tho public can approach personally
and not through the medium of Organization
leaders. Such a man Is George D. Porter.
