The Mayor made this statement this morning at his t Qlenslde home before starting for a morning on the golf links with a party of friends. The Mayor was unperturbed by tho attack made upon him by Senator Penrose and apparently considered It not worth a reply, "No one will be deceived by any of these declarations," Bald Senator Vare.

"I have never known Mr. Brown to attempt to use mo or any other members of the commission for political or professional purposes," ho said, Mr. Monaghan refused to comment further until he had a chance to read nnd digest tho Senator's speech. Tho natlonnt Issue, said Senator Pen rose, '"Involves tho Wilson Administra tion rnthcr than tho Democratic party." Ho declared that tho Wilson Administra tion has been "verging on socialism."

The Influence of contractors, or con tractor government In Philadelphia has long been n subject of repronrh among It ep u b 1 loans of Pennsylvania and throughout the United Htates. It hns constituted a detriment to tho develop ment of tho city nnd a handicap to tho Republican party In tho State and our Influence In tho nation. This condition has gradually arisen from a number of causes which It Is needless togo Into now. Perhaps It Is mifllcletit to say that this Is a condition thnt does not exist in any other Commonwealth. We do not hear of garbage collectors and street cleaning contractors ruling pol itics In Massachusetts or In New York, or In any other Stnte that I can recall, , Abuses and corruption may occur In oilier States which require prompt cor rection, hut Pennsylvania stnnds nlone bearing the commercial brand of con tractor Influence largely nn account tif the situation In Philadelphia with Its large population and Brent Itepulillcnn majorities and consequent Influence In tho parly nfTalrs of the Hlale. This Ignominious conn it Ion has reached Its culmination in the effort re ferred to of a street-cleaning firm to control the Stnte and city administra tions. Tho situation has become intol erable and I declare my readiness to co-operate with both stalwart nnd Inde pendent Republicans In making the gov ernment of Philadelphia worthy of tho city und tho party. The important task In hand Is the elimination of tho par ticular Influence already described, and 1 emphatically declare my opposition to the practice of Btrect-olcanlng contractor rule In particular, nnd to contractor- domination In general. My chief offense In the eyes of tho Vare contracting firm Is that five yenrs ago 1 wns unwilling to support the candidacy of tho brother of the prin cipal street-cleaning contractor for tho odlco of Mayor of Philadelphia, OPPOSED VARE NOMINATION. I opposed tho effort to nominate tho brother of tho principal street-cleaning contractor of Philadelphia for the office of Mayor of Philadelphia with the re sults well known, althdugh my course was not understood In some quarters nnd not appreciated In others. This opposition has constituted my .lilef offense In the ees of this con tending element In Philadelphia, and It Is een now openly announced that the suinr Vare candidacy for the odlce of Mayor of Philadelphia N to be pressed at tho close o? the present Mayor's administration, nnd It Is even quite lews a FARMER SMITH.

The temptation seems to be Insur mountable to use the aulce of Mayor for purposes of personal nggrnndliement or political Interference, Unless drnstlo and stringent legal remedies shall be applied, or unless the powers of the ofTlco shall be divided, this condition will continue There Is no reason why tho Police nnd Plro Departments should hnve any connection with the direction of public works. For various reasons Mayors havo under this law, with some exceptions, proved Incompetent or else factional partisans. The clly bus not niuilo the progress which wos rxpecled under It, and the system has certainly fulled In the pri mary abject of good cm eminent and the elimination of municipal oulcehold- ers from politics. Some change In the municipal form of government of Phila delphia must be made, whether It shall be u commission form of government or some other modification. Of this I am convinced, that from now on tho nttcntlon of tho people should bo devoted to tho limiting of such n change. The next Legislature should be called upon by nn over whelming public, sentiment n udopt sumoplnn of government which will take Iho municipal nfTalrs of our clly entirely out of 'politics. It should no longer be possible to witness the ridicu lous spectacle of a Major of Philadel phia running for President or spoiling his whole administration by desiring to bo a United States Senator through the ucttvlly of n few municipal ofllce holders or of outraging the sterling Re publicanism of the rest of the State by attempting to name 11 candidate for a Stnte odlce through the same methods, unfair and oppressive.

Once there was a b.oy named Harry and he had an India-rubber ball and he always wanted to know what made this ball bounce. So one day, after he had thought and thought, he, went to his Uncle James and aeked him what made his ball bounce, and his uncle said, "Do you not know that there's a fairy In the" ball and every time the fairy struggles to get out It makes the ball bounce." Harry laughed at this, but the next night be took his pen knife and cut a hole in the ball; then he was no wiser than before. But, tbat night when ha went to bed he Baw a lovely little fairy sitting on the end of his pillow. "The sweetest voice in the world spoke to him. "Thank you," It tinkled, "for letting me out A witch shut me in the ball and I have a million, patera shut up in balls, too. and every tune they struggle ta get out it make tbe ball bounce."

MERCY ANNE PERKINS DECIDEDLY something was tho matter at "Miss Stone's School for Girls." Jerry Pntton nnd Kathleen Rourke, who should havo been practicing nt the 1 p. m. period, were perched boldly up on the gray stone coping religiously scuflllng their shoes ngnlnst Its rocky surface. Tubby Miller, who never t.at up when she could lie down, was stretched out lazily on the new spring grnss. and Mary Develle, due In tho dining roor at Just this minute to take tho fifth pint of her milk "diet," was lunching on nothing more nutritious than the stem of nn early violet. Jerry gave nn upwind Jerk to tho black ribbon that Insisted on sliding down her brown curl. I for one," she was Baying, "will not treat May Belle Smith any different Just' because her uncle 'left her JGOO.OOO. Money won't make " "Why'd you skip practice to watch for her, then?" Interrupted Tubby, lazily. The reply was a little delayed "I 1 wanted to see If she looked any differ ent, and, besides, there's the new girl from Illinois." "Glrly" Mary jumped up excitedly, "I heur v es," and, sure enough, shrill tones, which had ever foretold the np proach of May Belle Smith, came spas, modlcally through the green trees and announced her return from the momentous Easter vacation.

"Hello, May Belle," ventured Kathleen who always managed to sjy the right thing at the right time. "Did you have a good time?" May Belle had be. 1 preparing herself for this question all the way oh the trip from her home In Chicago. "Time," she cried; "well, I should (say. Of course, you all read In the paper about the $500,000 my uncle left me. I went to his funeral. It was awfully sad; I cried really more than any one else there ,' May Belle paused to let her words sink In. A small, quaint flgute dressed In brown stood uncertainly by, not knowing whether to proceed up the steps or wait for the superior creature who had been a fellow-traveler since she had left the Peaceful Valley local for the Chicago-New York express. Miss Sharpen settled the question. "Come, Miss Mercy Anne Perkins," she bow Glut THE. BEST DRAWINGS OF THE WEEK t-eV CjS.d' 'JIoS- ' COSH! i WISH-r MA poy So J Ccil,!)

Ti HE Year'3 at the Spring! A BOARDING SCHOOL said not unkindly, "you must be tired, I'll take you to your room. Mny Belle, you may stay with the glrln a few minutes." That was 'exactly what Slay Belle In tended to do. She had never been very well liked among her schoolmates, and now she vvas counting on her new role of helre.ss to win for her the popularity she so mvsivcrav.cd. "Oi.. ' sho exclaimed, "Isn't she the funniest .thing with nil that red hair and those freckles? Say, she vvas on the train with me and. oh, I've got the funniest thing to tell you hhe fell out of an upper berth." On went May Belle and soon she had unraveled the story of Mercy Anne's mishap, Tho laughs that followed were not as hearty as she had expected ; but before nny ono had u chance to speak she con. tlnued, enthusiastically: "Girls, I've got the grandest things In my suitcase. I'm going to have a spread tonight." A chorus of "ohs" Interrupted her. Spread was n magic word at Miss Stone's school. It meant mysterious tapping on the wall, excited ,'ttealing up and down stairs, breathless moments of listening, and last, but not least, delicious eatables not to be found on the dining-room table. "Listen," continued May Belle, dropping her shrill tones to almost a w.ilsper "I know the grandest tcheme ; let's haze to new girl tonight!" Tubby's face fell j way back In ' v 'nd t!:e was thn'WnK ' 'be her flrst nlgnt at schooI, t. jtnv ntl'H mli thinking of the lonesjnr 'W of But May Belle's mischievous spirits were not to be downed She argued and set forth such delicious tales of hazing parties that one by one the little flrls were caught by the fun of the thing, and soon they were all giggling and planning as eagerly as she was. When the dress gong sounded they had just come to a tlnal agreement. They were to meet In May Belle's room at 10 o'clock with wet sponges, pocket flashlights and a sheet apiece. In the meantime up In a little room whose windows overlooked the peaceful Hudson sat the "small brown figure." On the bed Jay the brown hat with the green quill; on the floor stood the suitcase marked "Peaceful Valley." Large gray eyes traveled from one to the other. Those things meant home! A small red mouth quivered tremulously then, suddenly a firm, white chin shot determinedly up.
