not emerge fiorn tho sea of reaction
Ism and mcdloval despotism until tho
hl6od of tho Hungarian masncrei had
contaminated his soul beyond ordinary
hopo of cure. Tho Counters Karolyl,
whoso happiness had been devastated by
tho young fcmpcror's cruelties, uttered
hor historic curse: "May heaven and hell
blast his hnpplucssl May his family bo
exterminated! May ho bo smitten In the
persons of those ho loves! May his llfo
bo wiecked, nnd may lih children bi
brought to ruin"' And it seemed as If
Ood, In Ills Inflnllo mercy, prolonged the
man's days that through Horrow tilled on
sorrow and agony succeeding rtgony ho
might cleanse lih spirit and como to tho
eternal Judgment seat lear-wnshed.
Ho died beloved by all tho hctoiogono
ous pcoplo over whom ho hold sway, in

have been tho signal for rox'olutlon, for
tho splitting apart of tho Dual Monaichy.
Hut now war and danger may hold tho

The moral of It will bo preached to end

"THE GREATEST OF THESE
IS CHARITY"
THF3 revised version of tho Blblo trans
lates this, "Tho greatest, of theso Is
lovo," but this only makes tho clauso a
llttlo moro comprehensive without chang
ing Its real moaning.
Tho all-embracing sympathy with
humanity, vhlch Is tolerant with Its
weaknesses and helpful In Its needs, Is
tho thing to which tho tent maker of
Tarsus was referring.
Tho season Is approaching when wo
nro called upon to mensuro ourFolvcs In
dividually and ns a nation by tho tost of
charity. Wo are prosperous. Tho war
has mado demands upon us for our
products. Wo havo sold within tho last
year between a billion and n third and
a billion and a half dollars' worth of
goods to tho belligerents. Tho prosperity
which this demand for ono class of nrtl-
clcs has produced has spread out to
almost every lino of Industry.
Bvon beforo thnt piospcrlty begnn to
manifest Itself wo began to Bond monoy
and food to stricken Belgium and to rav
aged Scibla, Yet tho sum total of nil our
gifts represents but a small fraction of
tho prodts that have boon made from tho
war trndo. England, suffering fiom tho
war Itself, hns beon moro generous than
we.
Out of our abundanco wo havo beon
doling a mere plttanco. Thnnksglvlng Is
at hand and Chiistma.H Is near. Winter
will soon bo wrapping In Its cold ombrnco.
tho starving millions ot stricken Uuiopo.
In Belgium nnd northern Franco ulone,
without Including- Seibln, tlero aro ton
million In need ot food and clothing.
Whether this nation has a politlcnl mis
sion of humanity, ns tho 1'rcsldont Is bo
fond of saying. It coitnlnly has a mission
ot human brotherhood In theso trying
times. Our gifts to the suffering abroad
could bo Increased tenfold without re
turning to them a tenth of vthat they
need or deserve. Tho appeals for help
ought not to fall on deaf eats. . . n.
And while wo hear tho call fiom a dis
tance wo must not forget thu uued at
our own door. Tfioso wounded In tho
battlo ot llfo nro suffering right In our
own city. Deserted wives, with small
children, filondlcss old men and wolnon
who can no longer suppott themselves,
workmen crippled at their tiado or In
capacitated by disease, who can no longer
support thcmsolvus, ull nro as deserving
ns those who havo been dilvrn fiom their
homes by an Invading army, or those
who havo been wounded by an exploding
shell.
JAIL FOR ELECTION CROOKS
EVERY shred of cvldonco of tho goings
on In tho twelfth division of tho
Thirty-ninth Ward on election day should
bo put under tho legul microscope.
Though it took n year and cost tlioUMiuds
of dollars, It would not bo tlmo or money
wasted. If Mr. Qulnn's charges, that
otes for Wilson wero tempered with, Is
well founded, tho yimlnas should receive
the full penalty of three yoara In Jail and
$1000 lino.
The best a lawyer might say for a
man convloted ot such a crime would
ba that Ills tenl for a great oauso had
mado him "do wiong that good might
coma of It." But .(here could be not the
slightest cause fur even this poor excuse
In Pennsylvania. Hera the State was as
certainly Republican ns Texas ,was cer
tainly Democratic. The most extensive
fraud by either Democrats or Republicans
could not have materially changed the
result or sufliolently increased or de
refced tbe majority to mako the com
ment of the nation on the expected Re
publican victory In Pennsylvania any dlf-
ferent fiom what it hus been, .
Division leaders were the only ones
whq could gain by the frauds this year.
They wero put on their mettle by the
ward boss to get out the largest possible
majority, and their Importance In the Or
ganization Is rated according to their
"remits." Minority watohere in divisions
overwhelmingly for the Organisation have
often aided In cheating the party they
are supposed to represent. If gross frauds
.'aro found to have been- perpetrated, legis
lation sbould be .enacted giving the cen
tral eommitteee' of tha parties the right
to appoint additional watchers from the
city at targe to t In suspected nailing
places and watch, both Republican and
Defnacrstle "watchers."

Sir I. seo the. hlgh-speid transit Is and
will continue to bo up against It ns o pay
ing or ecn neir-mistalnliig proposition for
nt Icaht twenty yean.. This has been my
argument hefoio thero was a dollar spent.
Mr. Ballard says that tho P. It. T. stands
ready to go Jiint as far in this matter as Its
credit will admit, but falls to state how
much this will bo It may bo neaily one
thousand or nearly ntio million, and tho
other ninety nlno millions to fully equip all
tho branches of this gigantic scheme, to bo
made up by, the taxpayers, which Mr. Twin
ing In his elaborate and comprehensive re
port has mado ery plain would be the case
by incrt.iscd carfares or Increased taxes to
meet dellcleni les You tay the people voted
for It and will havo It. Yes, the people vote
lor a gieat many things for which they
ho causi) to bo sorry. They voted for tho
Parkway, which I contended beforo there
was a single brick of nil that taxable prop
erty cTestrojed that It would cott ?40,
000.000 beforo It was completed and cm,
belllshed Sir Connelly tald two years ago
it hnd then cost twenty millions, and tho
finish is nowhere In sight, and to get an
idea of tho unsightly road along tho whole
lino It Is only necessary to go as far us
Sixteenth and Arch htreets,- Ninety po,r
cent of the entire population will never bo
benefited ten cents worth. I hae yet to
hear the llrst man that voted for the llrst
loan that wasn't borryjSo It will be with
this subway nnd elevated that wll carry
tho .passengers to the end ot the line, then
change by putting them Into a crowded sur
face car and most likely charging them
nuuther fare to destination.
You say the citizens expect the big men
of Philadelphia to co-operate In their inter
est. Well. I haye yet to hear of the first
so-called Mg responsible man or set ot men
wining to invest a ucfllar In this railroad
ochemeVis a successful financial enterprise;
hence, It is clear tbat the little men owning
nothing but their own homes,' with a pos
sible mortgage plaster, or the renter must
pay the bill. I pay taxes on property con
sisting of small houses assessed over flMOO
and I shall promptly add the additional cost
on tho rent, as I am positive that not one of
the tenants had sense enough to know that
when they voted for this scheme they would
have eventually to pay the cost. I am only
sorry for those who have to help pay other
people's carfare without their consent, ana
feel quite sure It the majority of thsse fool
voters had had Mr. Twlnlng's explanation
of tha situation before they voted for that
loan which lacks millions to compute and,
equip it they would have stopped, looked
and listened.
Rut after once thoroughy started, it will
then be In the came fix aa the Parkway, viz.,
Iiave to bo finished regardless of the final
cost, or, as Mr. Twining says, put up a sign
For Rent. Personally, it won't hurt me
worth a cent, but I am sorry for tbe poor
soule who will be hurt Vf a. I
