Youth fade; love droop; the leave

A mother' secret hop outlive them

The Democrats are welcome to all
the Moose who showed their heads above
the trenches In New York on Tuesday
26,000 left at the polls out of Roosevelt's
1912 army of 390,000.
From the difficulty encountered In
getting It done. It may be supposed that
It Is a terrific feat to sprinkle the streets
before sweeping: them. But, as a matter
of fact, other cities do it and are not made
bankrupt thereby.
The more jobs In a city, the better
city It Is to live In; the better the trade
or a, community, the better the life of that
community. In a business way, every cltl
en, live he In a village or In a metropolis,
should be a booster.
The Administration has Just de
cided to give the employes on the Government-owned
Canal Zone railroad an
eight-hour day. Society, as Interpreted
by Mr. Wilson, evidently had not decided
on the eight-hour day as a natural right
until quite recently.
torlHtn in which the reduction treatment
couW be given to sufferers and, as
strongly as it could, pointed out that
dng restriction without this humane fea
ture would be barbarous.
Word comes from Shadow Lawn
that the subjects which demand most at
tention from the defenders of the Admin
istration are Its tariff and Mexican poli
cies and Its railroad wage Increase law,
falsely called an eight-hour law. Caught
with the goods!
Sending an ultimatum Is all right,
but Greece Is something more than a year
late. Greek troops assisting the Serbians
would have done fan more good than an
ultimatum asking the Kaiser to send back
Greek soldiers that surrendered without
being able to fight.
Senators Vare and, McNlchol are as
ne In declaring their intention to sup
port legislation looking toward the sup-.
presslon of the traffic in narcotic drugs
and the construction of a Jiospital for the
treatment of addicts. We have no doubt
that their example will be followed by
other legislators and that the relief antici
pated will be got.
The situation so far as China Is
concerned is presented In vivid form In
the Sykes cartoon today. The door Is open
all right, but there is about as much
chance for the United States to get
tlirough It as there Is for the proverbial
camel to get through the eye of a peedle.
While our diplomacy busies itself In fran
tic efforts to solve the Mexican situation
or keep out of war In Europe, the great
est field for trade development that there
is Is calmly closed as if It were of no
importance at all. Gome of us suspect
tha the European war Is after all a, war
for trade, but Russia and Japan do not
have to fight to take trade from this
country; they just take it and laugh.
, The declaration of a dividend by the
Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company is
' highly gratifying. It has been known for
some time that the affairs of the company
were responding to wise management, as
exemplified largely in the betterment of
the service offered to the public As was
pointed out in this newspaper yesterday,
efficient service, despite its cost, Is always
a paying Investment. It must be some
thing of a blow to pessimists that the
company is doing so well, and also to
other persons who have talked of some
wonderful plan to Increase 'fares on the
proposed new lines in order to avoid some
exaggerated defteita resulting from opera
ation. When high-speed lines do not earn
their way It w4U be time to write new
books on economics, and the Taylor plan
already provides for payments to the
company to compensate for any diversion
of traAo. from tbe surface to the new
lines. Rapid transit will be for Phila
delphia, and tbe company a gold mine,
net a gold Mek.
WHO'LL BE THE SETH LOW
OP PHILADELPHIA?
rnniRTT-SIX years ago Seth Low, then
thirty years old, was known only as
the son of a rich man who had received
a' liberal education and had lived a clean
life. lie did not hang around the stage
entrances of the theaters or spend his
evenings in the gilded restaurants or the
cafes of the fashionable hotels. Ills
amusements were those of the conserva
tive church-going mass of the community,
lie had organized a bureau of charities
when he was twenty-eight In order to co
ordinate the charitable work of Brooklyn,
where he lived, and had taken some part
In the political life of his ward.
But this young man had a vision and
ideals. When Garfield was nominated he
organized the Young Republican Club to
assist in his election. lie put so much
Intelligent energy Into the work that the
public began to take notice of htm. The
next year, 1881, he was nominated for
Mayor by the reform element in Brook
lyn, which looked to him as the man to
deal a telling blow to the McLaughlin
machine, which cont-olled the city as
the Tammany machine controlled New
York. lie was elected and served two
terms. Whtlo ho was still In his early
thirties 'he was the leading exponent of
municipal reform on this continent and
was so recognized. '
He ran the government for the benefit
of the people of Brooklyn Instead of for
the benefit of any political organization.
Ho appointed the best men obtainable to
take charge of the different departments,
regardless of their views on national poli
tics. Nineteen years after he had been
elected as Mayor of Brooklyn he was
made Mayor of New York when the two
cities had been consolfdated, because all
the opponents of the Tammany system
agreed that ha was the kind of man
needed to administer the affairs of the
greater municipality. Now that he Is
dead, every tribute to his work places
first his contribution to the solution of
the vexod problem of how to govern the
cities.
Mr. Low was able to accomplish so
much largely because he was financially
independent. He would doubtless havo
agreed with Colonel Roosevelt in advising
that no young man should seek a political
career if he had to make his living that
way. The 'man who controls your purse
controls your conscience. The political
machine which has It in its power to re
duce a public servant to poverty unless he
does its bidding prefers Impecunious but
brilliant young men or rich but spineless
old men.
Those reforms for which all forward
looking persons are looking will be has
tened when more young men of independ
ent fortune and high Ideals follow the
example of Seth Low and devote them
selves to the service of the city and the
State. There are such young men In
Philadelphia, Just graduated from the Uni
versity or amusing themselves by pre
tending to practice law in order to give
themselves the show of an occupation. If
they do not feel their blood boll as they
contemplate the spectacle of a city con
trolled by a group of contractors, able to
dictate the nomination of the men who
are to award to them the contracts for
public work, they are lacking in those
virtues which have always been the glory
of youth.
Which of them feels moved to be the
Seth Low of Philadelphia? What twenty
of them are Impelled to combine to rescue
this city from the slough In which it Is
wallowing and lift It to the firm ground
on which it can stand upright and ulti
mately raise Its head as the best gov
erned municipality In America? The door
Is open for whomsoever wills to enter it,
and there Is no better occasion than the
present for a young man to start in the
right direction, as Seth Low did .in the
Garfield campaign thirty-six years ago.

DEMOCRATIC DESTRUCTIVE POLI
CIES To the Editor of the Evening Ledger:
Sir In his letter accepting the Demo
cratic nomination for the presidency, with
the "preparedness" characteristic of Presi
dent Wilson the President officially declared
to the American people:
There Is no means of Judging the
future except by assessing the past.
rvinxtrnrtlvH action must be weighed
against destructive comment and ac
tion. The Democrats either have or
have not understood the varied Inter
ests of the country. The test is con
tained In the record.
Mr. Hughes said In one of his recent
speeches:
It is time for assessment, for ap
praisal and candid statement. No one
In this country can object to full and
fair discussion. That Is the very spirit
of our Institutions. What we need Is
fairness and the truth, and then let the
electorate decide. That Is American.
In an article published in the Evening
Ledoek. of September 16 I tried to contrast
the "destructive action" of the Democratlo
party with the "constructive action" of the
Republican party by the "destructive ac
tion" of eleven States seceding from the
Union under a Democratlo administration
with that of those States having been re
turned to their rightful plate In the Union
by the "constructive action" of Abraham
Lincoln and the Republican party.
I now present another phase o "de
structive action," assessing It for the pur
u nf ahowlnir what tho past has been
, .- - . - ....-., , .
under Democratic numniriiuii, u uiu
that fairness and trulh may aid the voter
to decide for or against the "destructive
action" of Democracy, and I .call as my
witnesses In chief James Buchanan, G rover
Cleveland and Woodrow Wilson.
Tho Democratlo National Convention of
1866 met at! Cincinnati and nominated
James Buchanan, of Pennsylvania, for Pres
ident on June 2 and a "progressive free
trade platform" was adopted.
Mr. Buchanan was elected In November,
1856, and on March S, 1857, a "progressive
free trade" act was approved, which made
a twenty-five per cent cut on virtually all
Imported merchandise.
The Democratlo tariff act of July 30, 1846;
had cut Import duties to the lowest point It
was possible tor American manufacturers
to wltnstana, ana wueu hii progressiva
free trade" act went Into effect a financial
panic, followed. So general and disastrous
were the results that In his flrst message to
Congress on December 3, 1867 Just nine
mnnthn after the approval of the act-
President Buchanan was compelled to testify
under the oath of his great offices
It) the midst of unsurpassed plenty In
all the productions of agriculture and
In all tbe elements of national wealth
we find our manufactures, suspended",
our publlo works retarded, our private
enterprises abandoned and thousands
What Do You Know?
of useful laborers thrown out of em
ployment and reduced to want.
That deplorable condition continued dur
ing Buchanan's administration. The de
structive hand of desolation was not stayed
until after the election of the protective
tariff President, Abraham Lincoln, In No
ember, 18C0.
The next great starvation crisis occurred
under tho Cleveland administration, and
continued with ever-Increasing Intensity
throughout his term.
Mr. Cleveland was elected upon a platform
pledging the party to the repeal of the Mc
Klnley tariff law, and entered upon his
duties March 4, 1893. Under the Cleveland
"tariff for revenue only" financial ruin
devastated the whole country, and so alarm
ing was the distress that on June 30, 1893,
only four month from the time of his In
auguration, Cleveland Issued a proclamation
convening Congress In special session on
August 7,
In his message to Congress, when It as
sembled In Bpeclal session1 on August 7,
President Cleveland officially testified under
oath:
With plenteous crops, with abundant
promise of remunerative production and
manufacture, with unusual Invitation to
safe Investment and with satisfactory
assurance to business enterprise, sud
denly financial distrust and fear hae
sprung up on every side. Numerous
moneyed Institutions have suspended
because assets were not available to
meet demands of frightened depositors.
Values supposed to be fixed are fast
becoming conjectural and Idss and fail
ure have Involved every branch of busi
ness. The Wilson-Underwood tariff went into
operation virtually on March 11, 1914, and
on Friday, September 4, 1914, only six
months later. President Wilson appeared In
person before Congress, and, addressing
the House and Senate In Joint session advo
cating the enactment of legislation to ob
tain 1100,000,000 of additional revenue,
said:
During the month of August, 1914,
there was, as compared with the corre
sponding month of last year, a falling
oft of (10,629,638 In the revenue col
lected from customs. A continuation of
tms decrease in the same proportion
throughout the current fiscal year
would mean a loss of customs revenues
of from 50,000,000 to 8100.000,000,
In order to meet every demand upon
the. Treasury, I respectfully urge that
an additional revenue of 1100,000,000,
be raised through Internal taxes.
Read again the messages sent to Con.
gress by Van Buren, Buchanan and Cleve
land as precursors of the desolation that
followed the free trade acts Identified with
their Administrations, and who of us can
escape the direful apprehension that this
message of "President Wilson Is the fore
runner of a period of business depression,
disaster and distress similar to those which
followed so closely upon the enactment ot
the Van Buren, Buchanan and Cleveland
free trade acts unless reversed by the elec
tion of a Republican President, Senate and
House of Representatives at the election In

KILLING THE GOOSE
Today the worst foes of American work
lngmen are of their own household, They
are the men who have persuaded the work
ers in certain trades In New York to go
on a sympathetic strike.
The, whole future of organized working,
men is bound up with, the future of Ameri
can industry, Expanding, industry means
high wages and prosperity, Deaadant in
dustry means a redundant tabor supply,
with stationary or falling wages and dls
tress and want on the margin of the In
dustrial field. If American workmen are
to prosper, more and mors of society's
savings must be lnvU4 In shoes apd ma
eailnary. A, ml the will be so invested ia
proportion aa mm laveotmaat looks safe

The awnpaUre striko means Juat this
