SIDELIGHTS INTO ACTIVITIES
OF PENNSYLVANIA'S GOVERNOR
Mr. Pennypacker Recounts Several Incidents
Which Relieved the Strain of the Regular

rnilB Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amend-
ments to tho Constitution proved to be
boomerangs. They were Intended, at
least Incidentally, to mako the South open
political territory. What they did do was
to give tho dominant faction a battlcery
and slogan which hod only to be yelled
often enough to assure handsome ma
jorities. The South got rid of the negro
voto by one devlco or another, but the
politicians never let the South get rid of
tho fear of a return of that negro vote.
"If wo have two political parties down
hero." runs the argument, "sooner or
later one or tho other of them will begin
voting negroes," and It Is an argument
which In that section of the country no
body attempts to answer.
Tomorrow tho suffrage amendment
comes before tho House for a vote. There
are some violent Southern members who
expect to voto against It, their plea being
that they do not want "to doublo tho dis
franchisement problem." Maybe not, but
why bring up a bugaboo of that sort7 If
tho electoral qualifications now required
are Just and honest, they will still be
Just and honest after tho suffrage amend
ment Is parsed. Tho amendment does not
say that n State must glvo every woman
,a vote; It simply requires that no person
shall be deprived of a vote Just because
she Is u woman. There Is no proposal to
deprlvo tho State of the right to deter
mine their own franchlso qualifications,
along feailbto lines, but only to add "shes"
to tho '"heV In tho definitions of citizen
ship and remove the Intolerable burdenB
and Inhibitions placed on women solely
on account of sex.
As Southern Congressmen cannot hold
their Jobs unless they are shrewd poli
ticians, wo more than suspect that a goodly
number of them will get Into the band
wagon while tho getting In Is still good.
THE CRUCIAL FRONT
rpiIU only front on which a decision tan
--be reached Is the western front. Cap
turo of Venice, occupation of Greece, re
capture of Jerusalem or Ilagi'ad would bo
temporarily exhilarating to Germans, but
Inconclusive. It Is only In Franco and
Uelgium that defeat for the Allies or Cen
tral Towers would bo real defeat. This Is
the ground for the belief that the blow
Germany will Btrlko with the re-enforcements
gained by tho nonrcslstanco of Rus
sia will bo struck In tho west.
It would be remarkable If Secretary Baker,
In his weekly report on military operations,
based his warnings about a great battle In
tho west solely on tho thcattlcal German
announcements of that event. Hut it Is not
remarkable that ho make1, his pred'ctlons
coincide with Berlin's, because all the
world knows the Germans have no other
place to strike. Their only hope of throw
ing tho Allies off tholr guntd was to tc'.t
tho truth for once, because It would be so
hard to bellevo that a. general would an
nounce his plans to tho enemy beforehand.
Mr. Baker reminds the public that
"through sixteen successive battles of
groat magnitude In Flanders the British
have every time como out tlctorlous and
pushed stadlly ahead." German gains may
be mado and tho cost of resistance, may
mount Into hundreds of thousands of
lives, but there Is absolutely no teason to
bellevo that tho encn J can break through.
JOHN' DOE MUST INITIATE
PROGRESS
GOVERNOR EDOE, in his nitssjgo to
the Now Jersey Legislature, urges tho
Immediate building of tho Philadelphia
Camden bildge. President Wilson, in his
latest address, as In many other of his
Hpeech-e. calls attention to tho enviable
efficiency of the German people. Wo would
rather be Chinamen than Prussian?. Nev
ertheless, wo have to admit that the
Prussians would havo built that brldgo
years ago.
Are we forever to add a "but" to every
word of praise wo give our democracy?
Ts It not berlously debatable whether de
mocracy will sunlve In Its age-long conflict
with autocracy If It Is content to pigeon
hole every progressive plan until Eorne
masterful personality, a Cassatt or a J. J,
2111, comes along to ret,cuo It from
oblivion? If we are to preserve our democ
racy tho people must Initiate Industrially
and economically as well as politically. It
Is time for the people to bo In on even'
deal, big or little, John Doe must glvo up
his anonymous charactor.

It may be that McAdoo Is also out

The talo that American dyes would

ON TUB way home from Somerset, n town
among the mountains, where the first
Blblo was printed nest of tho Alleghenlcs,
whero George V. User, the wonderfully able
president of the Philadelphia and Reading
Railway Company, was born and which has
tho most elevated courthouse In tho State,
Mrs. Pennypacker and I were taken In
chargo by Colonel Samuel Moody, a high
official of the Pennsylvania Railroad at
Pittsburgh. Ho was very droll, agreoable
and entertaining. Ills Infiuenco with his
road was great and ho was ready to show
It to us. Somerset was the terminus of n
llttlo single-track railroad which branched
off from tho main line. IIo had a car ready
at Somerset but behold. It had not been
dusted for a month. He kept us outside on
some pretext while he swore at the man In
chargo and had It cleaned. Then we went
by rail to the station on the main lino and
there waited. Presently we heard the
Chicago Express, which never stopped
there, thundering In the distance, but was
to stop for us because of the Infiuenco of
Moody.
"Now," said Moody, "come outside and
all be ready to get on."
Stopping the "Flyer"
In an Instant the train was there atid In
an Instant later beyond the station and
rushing to tho far-away East. Then I
roared, and Moody, seldom crestfallen, was
In h state of confusion. Presently, how
ever, came tho second section, which
stopped, and all was well.
Just at this Juncture Judge Henry J.
McCanhy died and thU made a vacancy In
tho Philadelphia Court of Common Plas
No. 3. The leaders of the Republican party
In that city asked for the appointment of
Robert von Moschilsker, a. bright young
lawyer, formerly an assistant In the offlco
of the District Attorney, but lacking both
yeajs and legal experience, who had made
himself useful and agreeable to Durham.
I appointed George Tucker Blspham, the
author of our leading woilt upon equity
and a lawyer of long and varied practice.
IIo was then In Europe, but he had at one
tlmo mado an earnest effoit to teach the
bench, nnd nftor consultation with Mr.
Brinton In his office and with Lyman D.
Gilbert, a friend and assoilato in many
cases, who thought he would accept, I
mado tho venture. My hope was by a dis
tinguished appointment, to benefit .h pro
fession, and that ho, with such on oppor
tunity, would feel It to be his duly to his
profession to see that It was utilized. He
failed me, and much to my disgust and
with very poor taste, telegraphed his declin
ation not to me, but to tho Press.
One of tho experiences which come often
to those having responsibility and seeking
to do decent things Is tha llttlo assistance
given by men who ore ever complaining
about existing condition. On ono occasion
at Harrlsburg I was called up by long dis
tance telephone from Washington, and
Penrose at tho other end Inquired :
"When are you going to moke out the
appointment of Doctor Shoemaker ni sur
geon general?"
Shoemaker was a political doctor, con
tinually mingling the two professions, which
did not well fit, and I had no confidence
In him whatever. So I answered: "I do not
think of appointing him at all."
"Damn It to hell!" I ovcrhcaid upon tho
wire.
I had written to Dr. S. Weir Mitchell and
Charles C. Harrison to suggest to me a
suitable and competent physician for this
position. They recommended Dr. Robert
G. Le Coutc, a man of professional attain
ment and now ono of tho trustees of the
University of Pennsylvania, and I appointed
him. Ho remained long enough to secure
his title or colonel, but with the first en
LAST OF THE BONNERS
David, Brother of Robert, Comaker With
Him of New York Ledger
JOURNALS devoted to horses and racing,
particularly those with a special flair
for trotting, wilt have much to say of David
Bonner, gentleman driver, who died on New
Year's Eve at the age of eighty; but few
If any, perhaps, will lay stress upon his
exploits as circulation manager of the week
ly paper edited by his more Illustrious
brother, Robert, which made the name Bon
ner famous and laid the corner-stone of the
family fortunes half a century ago.
Robert Bonner, the head of the family in
this country, was the maker of the family
fortune and David was his able lieutenant;
and It would be Interesting to inquire how
much he contributed. Probably even he for
got, when his head became full of horses,
but the Journal that knew him as circula
tion manacer was the first In this country
to reach the sales mark of 2(0,000 copies
per week. Yet the "Bonner of tho New York
Ledger" of course was Robert. Ha was
the pioneer.
Robert Bonner was born in the north of
Ireland In 1821 and David In 1837. There
were several other brothers, too, and the
whole family lost nc time In translating
themselves to these shores when Robert be
gan to make his way here, which he did
ery shortly after his arrival In 1889. At
the age of fifteen he was sticking type as
an apprentice In the office of the Hartford
Courant, and he was so quick at it that
fifty years later he declared proudly ho had
neer known more than one man who could
beat htm.
When he was twenty he went to New
York as assistant foreman and proofreader
on the Evening Mirror, which was first
timidly held up to Nature one year before
by the poet, N. P. Willis, and Oeorce P
Morris, Just sprung in to fame through ad
juring a woodman "to eparo that tree."
But Bonner only heattated there. His ca
reer carried him shortly Into the office of
the Merchant's Ledger, a weekly financial
Journal, whose owners had been attracted
to htm by his novel ways of setting the few
advertisements reflected In the Mirror, In
a few years the date was 18(1, to be exact
he bought out his employers for a paltry
1,000, and the Ledger was his, with its debts
and crodlts.
Robert Bonner began at once to do things,
and David was with him. His first move
was to add, as rapidly as he could afford
It, various taking literature features, which
were quite unlike anything the town had
ever before had servsd to It. One of his
earliest and happiest ventures was the en
gagement of Sarah P. Willis, sister of his
former employer, who was the most popular
writer of the day. Our grandmothers knew
and loved her as "Fanny Ftrn." Robert
Bonner believed In her, and although It may
be presumed be had little enough capital
In 1(( when be engaged her o furnish a
story a week, as spread an advertisement
ibettt her aad his payer ever sight full pages

campment, when thero was work to do, he
resigned, and that plan failed. I then
appointed Dr. Joseph K. Weaver, much
less showy, but moro stablo and useful, and
he proved to be entirely acceptable.
There had been much adverse comment
upon nffalrs at tho Eastern Penitentiary,
and I put at the head of It a penal expert
from without the State, of wide reputation.
He remained a few months, and, Instead
of improving that Institution, used It as a
means of getting a. larger salary elsewhere
and departed. Such Instances, of course,
went a long way to Justify tho position of
the politician.
The "Keystone Navy"
Theoretically the State had a navy, but
It never owned a vessel until ut this tlmo a
quarantine cutter waB built for It by Neafle
A Levy, The boat was launched September
17, named the Governor Pennypacker and
wan christened by my daughter Anna, who
broko a bottlo of wine oer the bow.
On the 22d of September, along with
Elkln, I mado u speech at Wllkcs-Rarro
before tho League of Republican Clubs,
reviewing what had been accomplished, In
cluding the newspaper act. Tho resolutions
adopted declared that I had proved to be "a
wisi prudent, firm nnd conscientious cxecu.
tlve." On the Invitation of "Undo Jerri-"
Roth, an enterprising Pennsylvania Dutch
man, I saw the Allentown Fair, gen
erally regarded as the most successful agri
cultural fair In the State, and found 30,000
people there. Colonel Henry C. Trexler, of
my staff, a comparatively young man, who
made a great fortune In tho manufacture
of cement, having tho largest cement works
In Allentown, drove me through the coun
try to see his large unfenced farms, and
he entertained me at supper, where, In a
stately home, his agreeable wlfo dispensed
hospitality.
On the 2tli, Major General Charles
Miller, In command of the National Guard,
gave an entertainment at Franklin to the
Governor and his staff. Miller, a poor boy, I
born In Alsace, came over to this country I
anu nine oy nine, uy energy, activity and
business sense, combined with a canny, 1
worldly wisdom, he got alongside of the
Standard Oil Company, was one of Its meg.
nates and secured an Immense fortune. Sel
dom are the fates altogether kindly to nn
man. with all his success there was much
unhapplness In his life. He was a captain
on tho staff of one of tho brigadier.-), was
ambitious, made large conli (buttons in the
political campaign nnd was put In corn
inand of the guard, over the heads of his
general und many other ofllcirs. Elevations
so obtained are ever moro or less tottering.
At Mount Gretna he said to mo in tho
presence of Stewart, after exhibiting to us
tho antics of his beautiful and trained rid
ing horse:
"Governor, I am going to hend down to
our homo ono of the finest pairs of horses
to be found in tho State."
I told him this' story:
'General, when I was a boy I went to
school among tho Irish on Tunnel Hill, in
the town where I was born, and had ihr
flstflghts with a boy named Bradley. Many
j. -am hot we Dotn drifted to Philadelphia,
and I becamo a Judgo and ho became a
bartender In n liquor saloon. Much to his
surprko nnd pleasure, he, on ono occasion,
received a license to conduct an establish
ment of his own. Later, he ono day came
to me and sold ho was about to send a pair
of horses to my summer homo at Mooro
Hall, and I said to him that if ho did I
should go Into court on tho following Sat
urday and revoke that liquor license."
Neither of those pairs of horses was over
received.

LOYALTY OF OUR

Skater's Remarks Hellenist
Comments
lo the KMur of tfic Vsennti I'MU l.rthm-:
Sir The American patriot of German birth
knows better than we do why he loves the
liberty of America und will fight for It
and will tolerato no rulershlp of any suih
Kaiser's orders. IIo talks of the fatherUiul.
but sheriff and writ could not get him back
there to live. A German name Is far from a
criterion of dlslovnltv. The bitterest denun
ciations and hntred of Mi KalHer's accursed
brutality and the atrocities of his "Kalwr
ltcs" I have heard from these loyal Ameri
cans of Uerman ancestry, and their tons will
be among our best and ablest fighter m. There
are exceptions and there arc spies aplenty.
German thought and German people of early
days and now are as different as day from
.night; the early Germans and modern Prus
sians or "Kalserltes." Many early Germain
ran away from Just this "glory ff our armies."
The dear old Americanized German people,
loyal to the liberty of their dear old father
land ancestry, are stronger for American
Ideals of liberty than many contemptible
American-born pacifists of other ancestry
and antl-Engllsh, who are shooting our sons
In tho back by their propaganda of pacifism
and English hatred. This Is not n Helping-the-French
war or an English war.
tVere there any Americana of English birth
loyal to America In the Revolutionary War
who fought English brothers and cousins?
There are hundreds of .thousands Just us
loval Americans now of German birth In
this war. There arc exceptions, but some of
our woist spies are paid scoundrels of other
nationalities than German. It Is tlmo and
past time for shooting such Bples for our
own protection and for a certain talutarv
effect. I have twelvo boys In this war whom
I love as sons. And I, like all the other
parents, om out for their protection, ana no
shooting them In the back by tolerating any
thing German, even the language. If for no
other reason than for Its effect on commer
cial Germans at this time. For tho best In
terests of all concerned I think German Is
better out of the schools till tho war Is
over. When the war ceases will be time
enough for restoring German to the schools,
with the Kaleer'B picture In a hangman's
cowl It we so desire. PARENT

AN OLD SKATER SWEARS GENTLY
To the Editor o the Binning PubUo Ledger:
Sir I write this from a btool of repentanca
and of pain, cooing gentle curses at you as
the cause of my present trouble. My right
leg Is stretched out straight upon a chair
and there's a smell of horse liniment In tho
air.
This Is the way of It: Yvur article upon
the Old Skating Ciub stirred my old blood
and moved mo today to take down from an
aula hook and oil up my old rockers, and
later to venture upon the Ice with them, the
first time In ten ears. My age? It doesn't
matter. I'm btlll spry and graceful; and I
am one ot those who contend that the only
real skating Is the long, sweeping, leisurely
roll which It was our wont to practice In
the days when a 2:40 gait was reckoned fast,
oh. long before tho present speed erase
afflicted our country.
Well. I got upon the ice today and found
that my feet had not forgot their cunning;
and I was rolling with grace and rhythmic
precision, when a tad In his teens coming up
behind me, like a .team engine, struck me as
I swung off upon my left foot and sent me
sprawling ome twenty feet before him. As
he helped me to arise, he said, "I didn't ex
pect you to make that .low turve." Of
course, he didn't Young America doesn't
use the outer edge, but plunges straight
ahead to It goal. In some things that's
commenaaore, dui rs it art 7
For you, It, who got me Into this trouble.
I have no grudge. I shall be about again
In a day or so, and while I loaf here I .hall

I have before me at this moment John

ROMANCE
Sometimes when it's n stormy day
And I can't bo outside to play
I like to make believe that I'm
A Princess like in olden time sta
Tlmt's locked up in a lofty tower m
Ana i wm sit thero by tho Hour
And ring my hands and look around'3
To SCO if T p.in hpnr n cmind K
Like some bold hero's charger's feet
Come prancing nearer down the street..
And oftentimes when I have spied 9
A cat or something else outside
I moke believe that it is he,
Tho Prince, that comes to rescue me,
And then I lift the window high
And lean out from the sill nnd cry
"Hist! hist!" nnd mako up talk to say
And plan how I shall get away.
It's lots of fun and yet I know
If I had lived long, long ago
I would not have enjoyed it so
To be a Princess in n tower
And have to sit there by the hour
And wring my fair young hands
grieve,
I much prefer to mako believe.
