htalt ('orreHpomlfnt of the- Kvtnlng Public Ideer
Hot Springs, Va., April 21. Legislation designed for the purpose of
ripping the present officials of Philadelphia out of "office land relegating
tho city administratidn to the political ash heap does not appeal to Gov
ernor Sproul.
Pennsylvania's chief executive not only regards such measures as
unfair to the citizens of Philadelphia, but as actually disorderly.
Briefly, the Governor wants the people of Philadelphia to settle thci
own political squabbles and clean the factional household without resor
ing to gubernatorial appointive powers.
He does not anticipate, ripper bills, and rather scouts the idea that
they will be introduced at this session; but as an extra safeguard against.
such steps he .will run down the rumors concerning such bills when he
returns to Harrisburg next week.
"You may say," said" the. Governor today, "that ripper bills will not
get my support or sympathy."
This assertion was emphasized very strongly by Governor Sproul.
'That he has heard the rumblings of ripper legislation he admitted, and in
a frank and compiehcnsive statement made tojthe Evening Public Ledger
he outline'd what his attitude toward such measures will be if they de
velop definite form. s
' -' "' - Hopes" Action Will Not Be Taken
"I have been listening to stories," he began, "in regard to ripper
bills, but am as yet unable to get definite information that such bills are
to be introduced. 1 hope that .such mcasurcssnre not introduced because
they will merely engender a more intense factionalism in Philadelphia,
and might defeat measures that would serve the city's welfare.
"A bill that would rip the Mayor and Councils out of office offers
tempting bait to me, for it would give me an opportunity to appoint the
city's administrators.
"Despite such tempting bait I shall decline to be a party to any such
procedure, because I am opposed to such tactics. Kippers are not in
line with my ideas of government. The people should not be deprived of
their right to elect their officials.
"If the government of Philadelphia is to be changed it must be done
in an orderly manner."
When asked to outline his" attitude toward Senator Penrose and the
latter's visit to Harrisburg, which Senator Penrose asserts is in the in
terests of reform legislation, the Governor replied:
"My attitude toward Mr. Penrose will be no different than it is
toward any well-intentioned man who goes to Harrisburg in the interests
of good legislation.
"I am intensely interested in the welfare of Philadelphia, and will be
glad to co-operate with Senator Penrose, or, in fact, anybody who can
be of real assistance to tho city."
To make himself understood in this particular Governor Sproul
asserted that ho favors a change in the city's system of government as
outlined in his speech at the famous charter dinner.
"I am in favor of a smaller city Council, a measure that will divorce
the police and fire departments from politics and place them on a high
plane of efficiency, some change in the city's, fiscal system, and a greater
degree of home rule for the nation's third largest and richest city.
. ....... . ... v
"Constitutional Changes Would lie Necessary to Accomplish These Latter."
Putting it plainly Governor Sproul wants the warring political fac
tions in Philadelphia and the reformers to stop quibbling, and get to
gether on some common ground so far as charter legislation is concerned.
Personally he will not volunteer to serve as aft arbitrator, for not being
a resident of Philadelphia he feels that it -would be poor taste to inject
himself into the Philadelphia situation.
Interested in Welfare of the City

The police bill is not to be a ripper

to.liclp with legislation that will benefit Philadelphia, and am confident
that out of all this turmoil,-strife and bickering we will get something of

Although ho lacks bis old-time vigor, Governor Sproul Is far from being
a sick man. He is getting the btyst of the fight with Old Man Rheumatism
and in another week, If the sun continues to send focth its wonderful qualities
tor which it is noted in this section, he will be himself again.
He is taking things easy. Now that be is able to leave bis room he spends

him and rout the stiffness in his limbs. v

his sunny disposition, lie Is as amiable ns ever, his smile is just us broad and
his handshake just as firm.
K What Governor Sproul needs is a complete rest, nnd Hot Springs offers
him a golden opportunity to take it. Itemoved from business and political
cares he is not annoyed by trivinl details and is able to enjoy the comforts
of a. well-earned holiday. He attends to n bulk of work- every day, but this
work concerns important state nrfairs. His son ".Inck" is with him and will
probably remain until the Governor returns' to Harrisburg.

But the Governor, being n newspaper publisher, knew the human Bide
of politics, and being a state senator for more than twenty years knew the
practical side of politics. He was confident of winning and made no assertion
in bis inaugural address that he wns not sure of.
Now lie comes forward, nnd drawing ou his first three months' experience
iri the governorship feels that things are coming the way he wants them. In
cidentally, nnd what will bo very refreshing news for Pennsylvania, is the as
sertion thnt he likes his' job and has a true conception of its responsibilities.
