When Mr. Bryan, amateur reporter,
In search of Information In Chicago re
marked to a regular, reporter that ho
did not know whether to believe what ho
was told or to use his own Judgment, the
regular reporter was unkind enough to
say that both were a little unreliable.
The Poor Richard Club lias dis
covered that only 6500 visitors can bo ac-
commodates In the hotel- within three
quarters of a mile of tho City Hall. This
number will have to be largely increased
before the new C&nv6ntIon Hall can at
tract to It the,eeat gatherings for which
it is to be built.
fTUIB Interest of Pnnnnvlvntitn Is In
principles and not In personalities.
It Is not apparent that In Chicago there
Is any marked divergence between the
two .conventions rclatlvo to tho things
to bo fought for. The I'rocrcsslvea hnvn
virtually abandoned Utoplanlsm ' and
havo made preparedness their big Issue.
They demand a protective tariff, regu
lated and adjusted by a tariff commission,
and they stand squarely and wholly for
tho very things Republicans demand.
The remarkable spectacle Is presented,
therefore, of two great bodies of mon
dedicated to the furtherance of an Iden
tical program, but held at arm's length
by tho Injection of personality Into
the situation. Indeed, tho sole purpose
of the Progressive convention seems to
bo to force Theodorn Ttnnnnv.lt ilntvn
the throats of the Republicans, whether
they want him or not.
It Is plain that the country either Is or
Is not In tho throes of a great crisis. If
It Is not, the meetings In Chicago nro
virtually without meaning. If It Is, It is a
tlmo when tho patriotism of men should
assert Itself, when selfish lust for office
should bo frowned on, when all alike,
inspired by tho solo purpose of rehabili
tating the prestige of the nation, should
sacrlflco their personal ambitions to tho
cause nnd fight shoulder to shoulder for
tho great principles they espouse.
, Tho Republican convention has shown
tho utmost consideration for Theodoro
Roosevelt. The delegates, through their
leaders, havo been engaged nil week In a
strenuous effort to meet him halfway
for the sake of harmony. His service
In arousing tho nation to a realization
of the situation has been abundantly
recognized. His support of a candidate
would mean that candidate's nomination.
But this does not satisfy tho gentleman.
In his opinion there Is no other man.
He alono of nil the millions of Amor!-
canals tho ono true American. Ho alono
Is able to forge tho lightning which Is
to purge the country off Its alns. He and
he only has tho ability, the courage, tho
vision and tho strength to lead. Let the
others bo' swept aside. "Rule or ruin"
Is tho slogan.
There Is no question of the ability of
tho man. It and his sturdlness havo been
proved over and over again. But with
all his strength ho has tho Achilles heel
and he cannot hide. It. Fortune has not
flipped him In a third-term river. Had

The average American sticks to
the belief that good English is in enemy
of the Constitution and a well-turned

of the "wcaselest" word's spoken In Con

he stood for the nomination In tho prl

have gone down In defeat. How, then,
can tho delegates at Chicago be expected
to drive behind him now? They love
him for his aggressiveness, admire him
for his patriotism, glory In him as an
American and wlthdrajv from him In his
ambition. For the service which his
country expects of Theodore Roosevelt
now Is not that he serve it agaln as
resident, but that he put his mighty
shoulder to tho wheel to restore the
Republican party to the high prestige
and dominance which It enjoyed prior
to tho revolt.
We do not know that Mr. Hughes will
be nominated. Porhaps It would be bet
ter If a dark horse could be found. But
whoever is the nominee, it .In nhvinna

THE JUNE DRIVE
THE lesson of Germany's early set
back at the gates of Verdun was
simple. In this war no operation of any
magnitude can be won by a Blngle push,
and none can be successful so long as
the enemy can repeatedly bring ud its
reserves. Tha Allies recognized this from
their own resistance at Verdun, and it
must have delayed, if other reasons did
not, the sorlne offensive Jn oironai...
could ba effective unless simultaneously
directed on several fronts. The Germans
could not h beaten back If, as in the
campaign of 1915, they could shift their
forces from east to west.
The situation now developing depends
for Its great Importance on a drive on
the western front. With the Crown Prince
pledged to assault Verdun, England must
drive from Solesons to tha sea while
Russia and Italy prosecute their offen-
uives. Russia nas started. Th tu.

POLITICS AND BUSINESS
To the: Editor of livening Ledger:
Sir At tho beginning of the presidential
campaign, when every one Is thinking of
politics, tho Bureau of Municipal Research
hns seen fit to remind us that government
IS nnt fill nnllHno T7i.nt. T7t.lfn.1nl..Uf
should read the following extract from tho
bureau's latest bulletin:
"Wo must not forget that the political
aspect of Rovecnment Is not tlio only ono
that Is Important. Only that portion of
government Is political which concerns Itself
with the determination of public policy.
Once a definite policy has been settled
upon, tho problem becomes purely adminis
trative and loses its political character.
".Vow, did It ever occur to you that tho
I uiultu'js nr.r ivirfta nr r..w mimfltnn h. in
which a veritablo army of men and women
aro employed in the main represent settled
policies, and therefore require administra

you ever stop to think that In conducting
the affairs of tho city our public officials
find It necessary to devote at least nlno
tenths of their time to actually doing what
the public long ngo hns decided to havo
done, and only one-tenth of their time to
questions of public policy?
"It follows from this that any clvlo
program which alms to Improve tho effect-

THE ENDLESS MOUNTAINS
To the Editor of Evening Ledger:
Sir An article on John Rartram In the
Evenino LsnoEn states that "In Bertram's
time the Alleghenles were mapped as the
'Endless Mountains.' "
In a historical account of the Pocono'
Region of Pennsylvania, by Henry Pleas
ants, 1913, occurs the following: "Tho
nnmn 'Piwnnft' ni 'PAtnnn ..., .
Indian equivalent, 'a stream between moun
tains,' is the designation applied to the
second range of mountains substantially
parallel with tha Ktttatinny or Blue Moun
tains (called In Indian deeds 'Endless
Mountains') and ahmit nina mil., .!.
the same."
From this statement I understand that
the name "Endless Mountains" was applied
to the Blue Ridge In the Indian deeds.
A map In the possession of the Historical
Society of Pennsylvania, without date, re
