Won't tho Vuro "boys" foel at home up theie'.' Mayor Curlcy, of Boston, distressed nt tho sight of elderly women scrubbing tho City Hall Hours on their knees, has provided them with patent mops, which thoy uso standing. This is a good exam ple to follow, not only in City Halls, but In tho big skyscrapers all over tho wholo country. Tho value of Philadelphia's textile output during 1910 was ?U8,00O,OO0. It's "dollars to doughnuts" that less than eighty per cont of tho ultimate consum ers know tho fabric over saw this city.

Tho fight will bo continued within the party lLivt, until tho 1 Old Guard either surrenders or is licked, Once more Philadelphia has arisen superior to its climate and staged a mum ' mere' parade on January 1, which for ' varied picturesqueness and charm can be compared only with the New Orleans Mardl Graa Carnival. When 230,000 peo ple will stand on Broad street for hours, as they did yesterday, to watch tho parade, no better tribute to its attractions Is needed. Society spelled with a capital letter may have its fancy balls, but they are pale shadows of the moonlight when considered along with this great pageant of the democracy. Director Datesman promises that the current year will seo tho beginning of worH on the new Convention Hall and the new Free Library on tho Parkway, the completion of the South Broad Street plaza and the building of bridges to cost $1,000,000, including the new bascule bridge at South street. These improve ments are part of the new Philadelphia that is to be. Buildings in the line of the Parkway, where it starts from Broad street, will be torn down before the spring, opening the vista from City Hall to Logan Square and beyond. When work is begun on the Convention Hall and the ITree Library we shall begin.. to get some Idea of how the thoroughfare will look. While the city itself Is making great Improvements, citizens are engaged in rebuilding the older part of the town by displacing low brick building with tall EUel-framed structures. The district from the Delaware to the Schuylkill, between Baca aod Pine street, is rapidly chang ing h response to the demand of the enlarging life of the community.

HOLY WORDS IN UNHOLY MOUTHS 0 N SATtntUAY, nt tho Inattention of trlots do luxe, these words w'.-io put Into tho mouth of Governor Brumbaugh: Tho speakership contest Is of more slRnineanco than the selection of a pre sldlnif ofllcer for the House. In Its Inception nnd In Its development any thoughtful. iinL.ased citizen can discern buck of Mr. Baldwin tho samo rcnc llonary Influences that made Ponnsyl vnnla politically a reproach and that led directly to two surcrtslve defeats to tho National ltcptiMlcnn party. Hoclal Justice and humane government are nrraynd ngalnst special privilege and seciet Intrigue-. Hnd this tftrte hoen wisely treated In tho recent election thoro would bo no discs islon of tho party majority In the National Homo of Representatives. Tho Itniiso would be Republican. Pennsylvania Itcpub llcans so called wrecked our party's opportunity. Tho same forces nro menacing It today. They nro not for tho people, nnd no party can survUo that Is not openly, honestly and heartily dovoted to scrvlnff tho who'3 peoplo. Wo shall hero steadily mntlmtc to promoto unselllih and frco rtuvernmont. Wo shall resist all who oppose such government. Jtr. Baldwin is reactionary, It ho may properly bo called anything nt nil. As n rubber stamp ho has mot tho require ments whenovor called on. That Is what machlno politicians nro supponcd to do obey orders nnd get tho pnp. Tho Governor's denunciation of Pen roselsm reads like a IjCtionn editorial of two years ago. The Governor deplores events which tho Ikdoiiu nought to pre vent. Tho Governor deplores them bo catiso tho Votes want to alt in tho Pen- ioso seat. Tho lAivar.u raised Its warn ing cry becauso it had ut heart tho In terests of tho Commonwealth, which weio being placed In Jeopardy. Tho Lr.tianrt's light for good government was sincere, ns it Is now, but tho high senti ments from Scott which illtcr through Brumbaugh chill rather than ole-ate the soul. Tho holy words of tho language aro being used to clothe tho most sinister and heinous political plots. "Honesty" nnd "unselfishness" and "freo govern ment" aro expressions which havo boon wont to stir men's souls and Hro their blood and urgo them to groat deeds. But theso gamblers In government ueo tho words to gatb subtlo tricks, to hide leprous spots, to make black sheep white. Not content with pillaging tho offices, they would pillage tho language, steal from words their meaning nnd weaken tho very thunder of reform by theft ot Its paraphernalia. Tho man from whoso mouth used to flow sweet platitudes for tho edification ot tho young, who voiced lofty sentiments to influence for good tho children of tho Commonwealth, has been snatched from tho pedestal on which ho stood, nnd his vocabulary of sweetness capitalized by tho bandits who control him to lure others Into tho trnp Into which ho himself has fallen. IET tho public be not deceived. There J nover was uny good in Penrosolsm und there is none In Varelsm. Consider tho personnel of this new "reform" band. Can any mnn who knows the record of John R. K. Scott look him In tho fnco while ho poses as an angel and not laugh? There comes to mind that other "reform" movement of last summer, when those other Vaieltcs, tho Mayor and Director Wilson, ordered a raid of thoso parts of tho Tenderloin which wero neither "loyal" nor "truo." But It must bo admitted that any cause in which John It. K. Scott is a leader carrlos tho pres tige ot success In tho district which wakes only at night. Not even Penroselsm, with its slush funds. Its corruption and flinty opposition to good government, ever sought to Illtor tho spiritual drink of the people through dralnlng-beds of filth. Pathetic as Is tho Govcrnor'a absolute surrender to tho garbage can. It merely emphasizes, tho well-known fact that whom the machine embraces It renders gangrenous nnd carious. Its odors are everlasting. What is true of tho ma chine as a whole Is truo of either faction. The touch of either Is pollution. TTOW much longer will the State en dure these conditions? Are men, astute In tho conduct of their own busi ness, so careless 'of tho good name of Pennsylvania, so negligent of tho sur roundings under which their wives and children must exist, that they will con tinue to condone tho mockery of high principle, of decency and of morality which has become the custom among our statesmen? A bunch of pirates have pos session of a magnificent ship, but they are maltreating the machinery. We say in all seriousness that the big issue in Pennsylvania is a moral Issue, as It was in the campaign of 1911. It is the Issue of forwardness, of progress, of cutting loose from spotted idols and getting into the free al One clean, straight man, honest In thought and pur pose, can bring about a revolution, in this Commonwealth and drive the whole bunch ot political parasites and pap hunters Jnto the oblivion where they be long. Tho thing la to find that man. We are much mistaken if he does not find himself. If the moral crisis does not bring him forth, even as the war crisis in Bu rope has towed to the top the strong men of tha era and sucked Into obscurity the little fellows whom peace had clothed with Umfforary greatness.

LAUGHING GAS THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE Germany, the United States and the Submarine Question. The Patient Fireman A GERMAN VIEW OF THE WAR To tha V.dllor of the Evening Ledger: Sir Thoro has been much argument on how tho EUbmarlno should bo used. Wo havo not as yet boon enlightened upon tho subject. Thero Is no doubt that Germany Is handicapped upon tho sea. Tho cry is, Why does sho not como out nnd give battle? She would bo a fool If sho did. as sho would not only have tho nnglish navy to contend with, but perhaps tho French, Russian, Italian and tho Japanese. If llnplnnd nnd Germany wero nt It alono they would bo singing "God Help tho King" In placu of "Clod Havo tho King." Wo know that England ono year ngo offered a prlco to every Rngllsh captain who could sink a German submarine, nnd today wo icad that England Is going to nt in all merchant and passenger vessels. Tho question Is this: Who la going to bo sunk first? If tho submarino halts a verse I nnd this votscl has a gun on It, la the vessel going to halt, or Is It going to flro Into tho submarine nnd try to tend It to tho bottom? Aro tho Germans supposed to heavo to llko a lot of foolH and let tho vessel sink them? Wo also nro nwaro of tho fact that tho Allies, ez-peclally Rnglnnd, try to keep all supplies from getting to Germany, bo why, In tho namo of common sense, has not Ger many tho right to do llkovvtso? Thero aro somo of tho most silly arguments put up in tho causo of tho Allies I ever heard of. England also tells us sho Is lighting to maintain civilization. What a dismal out look for tho world at latgo It wo havo to bo civilized with tho cannon, although leaders of English history will agreo with mo that this has been England's policy In all her history, to clvlllzo with tho cannon and then send missionaries to convert what la left of tho population, if tho American peoplo will only uso common senso and not bo guided by pro-Ally sentiment, and look at this war as purely n commercial war, perhaps lots ot us can arguo with somo common senso. Wo nil know that slnco Bismarck united tho German peoplo and mado them what thoy nro today, tho greatest power In Europe, tho lest of tho nations havo been sitting on a keg of powder waiting for somo overt act of Germany to have an oxcuse lo Jump her. I givo Germany a great deal of pralso for preparing for what tho know was coming. 1 feel sorry for poor Belgium, I nm extremely borry becauco sho was such an nss as to rely upon tho Allied nations. I only hope President Wilson will uso his own Judgment In tho submarine question, aUo tho peace question, nnd tell England to keep her hands out of American diplo macy, and God speed the day when Amer icans rule this land and not tho English.
