A vast majority of the citizens of Phila
delphia want certain things done by the
polio,. Their efforts are thwarted by
the pernicious but highly organised ac
tivities of a few. As a result the raters
who will elect a President next Novem
ber are not even able to control their
police department. The Incongruity Is In
tolerable and needs only to be exposed
for a change to come. The Grand Jury
now In session and the August Grand
Jury, which will form presently, are the
agencies of citizen-control over the police
department, sad so directly over the vice
situation. Jt Is to be hoped that every
name will be named, that every reeora

CONSCIENTIOUS CONSTITU
TIONALISTS Tun child labor bill as proposed In
Washington Is In many respects a
measure to protect manufacturers In ad
vanced States from the ruthless compe
tition of manufacturers In those Common
wealths which permit the exploitation of
child labor and sanction the transmuta
Hon of tho health and blood of Innocents
Into dividends for tho elect.
The two Senators from Pennsylvania do
not want such a law on the statute books.
Thev tremble lest tho sanctity of the Con
stitution should be outraged, as If the
whole process of social development In
tho United States had not been aided by
tho elasticity of that Instrument. Into
which, at different times, has been read a
constructive authorization for such Fed
eral legislation as seemed requisite to
give expression to the deliberate wishes
of the nation as a whole. Why should
either Senator be horrified at the possi
bility of violating the Constitution? There
! a Supreme Court to guard It. and here
tofore It has done so admirably well.
The proposed law does not prohibit
child labor. It merely provides that
goods manufactured by child labor shall
be excluded from Interstate commerce.
They would not come Into such commerce
with clean hands, so to say. wherefore.
being adulterated, or stained with chil
dren's sweat and blood, or otherwise con
taminated, let manufacturers who want
to make such goods mako them; but the
best placo to sell them, and the only
place to sell them, would be within the
territory of the State allowing such meth
od of manufacture. That seems reason
able, doesn't It? It removes from the
decent manufacturer the burden of unfair
competition, doesn't It? There Is noth
ing In It to which n Christian gentleman
who wants to bo fair and square could
object, is there?
But a Senator from North Carolina,
who agrees with the two Senators from
Pennsylvania, tearfully and In great sor
row explains that to put children to work
In factories keeps them out of Jail. It
also keeps them out of school, nnd, mnr
vclons though it may be,-the fact Is that
there are more children In school than In
Jail, even In States which do not have
child labor. It Is conceUable. too, that
some children would prefer Jail to the
kind of work to which they are hand
cuffed by an execrable economic system.
It makes no difference to either of the
Pennsylvania Senators, we surmise, that
Pennsjlvanla has by statute expressed
Itself as hostile to child labor, wherefore
In opposing the Federal statute both of
the gentlemen In question misrepre
sented the sentiment of the Common
wealth. What do they care? One is not
going back to Washington nnd the other
has Just been returned for six ears. We
suspect that if either one of them dis
cussed the matter with child-labor ex
ploiters "back home" he would find that
the said exploiter was m favor of such
labor for other people's children, but
never for his own. Who ever met an ad
vocate of child labor who wanted to put
his own young offspring In a cotton mill?
Industrially this Is a man's country,
or almost a man's and woman's country,
and not a child's country. Americanism,
If it means an thing, means the right of
a" child to his youth, tho right of his
parents to earn enough to guarantee that
child rtn education or the right of govern
mental authority to see that the child
gets an education no matter what the cun
dltlon of Its parents. The industrial ef
ficiency for which we strive Is an adult
efficiency, not a mere profit efficiency that
finds Its source In child or pauper labor.
A purpose of a protective tariff Is to as
sure such wages for adults that the labor
of children in factories will not be re
quired. In voting against the bill in
Washington tho two Senators from this
State essentially voted against protection
nnd most emphatically they voted against
Americanism, in so far as Americanism
.means a system of Industrial independ
ence that parallels the political Independ
ence on which the nation was founded.

TUESDAY the Eve.vino ledger
declared that a good slogan for Phil
adelphia to adopt would be, "The magis
trates must go."
The revelations made before the Grand
Jury Wednesday show conclusively that
whether all the magistrates go or not.
there Is certainly one of the tribe who
ought to be catapulted out of his Job
with maximum initial acceleration. This
man by some Action of the law presuma
bly dispenses justice. That, at least. Is
what he is paid for doing. But if Justice
came marching down the street with
drums beating and banners flying this
magistrate's court would never recognize
her. It would think. Instead, that it was
a Tenderloin parade celebrating the good
deeds of straw-ball givers and grafting
clerks. One notorious politician used to
boast that when he was a magistrate he
never made less than $12,000 a year out
of his Job, although the maximum to be
made from It with legal honesty amounts
to about a third of that. We suspect
that his earning power is being; emulated
by his successors.

a man, for a price, can go bail for as
many women of the street as he pleases,
even though ho owns no property what

that a moneyless stranger to the court
would never have been indulged In the
practice of such a profession. It ap
pears, too, that If a woman who has been

"I WASN'T A PROMISE, MR. PRESIDENT; I
WHEN HUGHES MET THE OLD GUARD
Samuel G. Blythe Explains How the Candidate Told Penrose,
Barnes, Crane et al. to Take a Back Seat Details
Imaginary, But the Facts Are Straight
I
T WAS approximately hlch noon on
June 10 when the Republicans nomi
nated Mr. Hughes and' announced they
would begin an active campaign Imme
diately. The Republican idea of an active
campaign, for the space of 30 days, so far
as could bo discerned, consisted In the
appolntmont of Mr. WIllcox as chairman
and the entertainment of Colonel Roose
velt at luncheon by Mr. Hughes, the one
function being about as exciting as the
other, but both well calculated to have
their effect on the needed Progressives;
for Mr. WIllcox Is a nice, amiable, sub
dued person, who had no part In the
foul crime of preventing the nomination
of Mr. Roosevelt by the Republicans In
1912, and It was plainly apparent that
Mr. Hughes did not hae poison put in
Mr. Roosevelt's soup. The Colonel came
away in his usual buoyant health, which
showed that these two strong men stood
again shoulder to shoulder In the great
work of keeping their Ideals herded in
one place.
This was what we learned for 30 days.
this and the Important facts that Mr.
Hughes allowed jwo men to sit in his
drawing-room in a train and smoke; that
he likes apple pie, and that the Demo
cratic story that he trims his own beard
is a canard. But it is not what we might
have learned had there been full access
to the Interior proceedings. Oh. it is a
sad. sad s'tory. mates, the tearful tale of
the agony of strong men, the slaughter of
ambitions, the sobs of Boles Penrose
could anything be sadder than the Bobs
of Boies Penrose? The answer is. "Noth
ing could be."
Picture to yourselves, If you care to,
that eager and enthusiastic little com
pany of Old Guardsters hurrying from
Chicago to congratulate the candidate,
confer with him and do a modicum of
innocent conniving on the side. They
were in high and happy spirits, a merry
little party, consisting of Murray Crane,
who softly hummed to himself those Im
mortal lines about the fierce Ingratitude
of forgetting auld acquaintance. Boies
Penrose, who Joined his deep and resonant
bass with tha murmuring tenor of Mr.
Crane. Reed Smoot. who as befits his
apostolic position smiled sedately; James
Hemenway, all aglow with enthusiasm;
BUI Barnes, blissfully letting bygones be
bygones, and others all lit up with the
extreme pleasure of the glad occasion.
Merrily they rolled along, rolled along,
rolled along, and all waa halcyon.
"You see," said Boles Penrose, 'well
get there first, and now that we have
nominated him we'll Just take hold of
things and run the campaign in tha good
old way,"
"Hear! Hear!" shouted Bill Barnes.
"Well run the campaign in the good old
way,"
And so it went, the tight-hearted com
mitteemen Joking and Jestipg one with
another and recounting the bountiful
olden times when they put it over so ex
pertly. At last their Journey cams to an end.
and entering the room where their candi
date stood waiting to receive them they
Joyously overwhelmed him with congrat
ulations, which he. discarding for the
nonce his cold and reserved and dignified
judicial manner, received as Joyously,
and a pleasant time was had by all.
-"Now. then, Mr. Hughes." said Bill
Barnes, clapping the candidate heartily
on the back. "Ist's gst down to business."
"Business?" suke4 tha candidate, in a
W&m A'.sjan&giiJBBa, "SOatt fcaafawjaf
1916
Somewhat taken aback by the tone In
which tho candidate made this inquiry,
Mr. Barnes endea-ored to appear at ease,
none the less, and said familiarly: "Why,
the business of running tho campaign, old
top. You understand what I mean, of
course?"
Whereat Uncle Murray Crane and Boles
Penrose winked In unison, n very difficult
feat, for Mr. Penrose is six feet three
and Mr. Crane three feet six. or some
such stature, and it is almost Impossible
to wink In unison when there Is such
aisparity of visional range.
Straightening himself to his full height,
and stroking his carefully combed whisk
ers, the candidate replied: "J trust I may
be believed, gentlemen, when I say to you
that I positively do not understand."
There was a chill, almost a finality, in
these words that sent a shudder through
the assembled committeemen.
"Don't understand?" repeated Reed
Smoot in his most unctuou-j manner.
"Why. Mr. President-to.be. it Is very sim
pie nnd regular, quite regular. We are
here prepared to take the burdens of the
campaign from your shoulders conduct
it for you, you know and all at your
most loyal service."
"Exactly so." whispered Murray Crane.
The candidate looked slowly round. The
temperature of the room fell rapidly.
"But. gentlemen," he said, "there are
the Progressives to consider."
"The Progressives.- shouted Bill
Barnes. "Great heavens, you are Pro
gresslva enough to suit them, I dare say."
"It may be so, gentlemen; it may be so.
But I fear that you are not,"
It was as if two tons of Ice had been
unloaded In the room.
"We arc not?" gasped Boles Penrose.
"Why. Mr Hughes, what do you mean?"
"I regret that my words have been sus
ceptlble of misinterpretation. It means
that you Are not Progressive enough to
run my campaign. It Is our duty to pre
serve our Ideals and conserve the Ideals
of the others. I trust I make myself
cleat? We must have Progresslvea on
our committee, and men not hitherto
identified with the practices that. I re
gret to say. have brought our Grand Old
Idealistic Party somewhat Into disrepute,"
"But we nominated you," walled Bill
Barnes.
"I didn't ask; you to," responded Mr.
Hughes in hU calmest and moat Judicial
manner,
Twas even so. and 'twas even so much
more so than Mr. Hughes surmised, that
the Old Guard were aghast. All merri
ment had left their hearts. Here, appar
ently, was a person who had the Pro
gressive vote in mind.
"It must be apparent to you," said the
candidate, each word having an Icicle on
it, "that unless we secure the return, of
the Progressives to the Republican party
we cannot hope to win. It has appealed
to me. in my consideration of this matter,
that victory la the object for which we
shall laudably strive. For whatever you
gentlemen have done for me I em duly
grateful, but I must ask you to divorce
yourselves from the open conduct of my
campaign. Inasmuch as there would cer
tainly bo Progressive protest against
you."
WtU. speaking In broad and general
terms, that is about the Way It happened
not precisely, of course, but with
enough of the high llgnU shown to make

note by the Indefatigable De Qulncy, may
sere you: "June 1, 1675 Drlnke part of 3
boules of punch (a liquor very strange to
nie)" say3 the Rev Mr. Henry Teonge, In
his dlarx lately published. In a note on
this passage a reference Is made to Fryer's
"Travels to the East IndleV 1678, who
speaks of "that enervating liquor called
Paunch (which is Hindustan for five), from
five Ingredients." Made thus it seems the
medical men call It Diapente; If with four
only. DIatesseron. No doubt It was Its
Evangelical name that recommended It to
the Rev. Mr. Teonge. The "HlndosUnee"
goes back to the Sanscrit "Pancan" mean
Ing five. Of the reported sayings in tan.
rooms, you must be the sole Judge.
