Republicans paid war taxes. They are still bending under the burden. They .nt tlu.lr sons to war and they endured snow.. .. "i - " ,"''"",." 01 rn.incing eienis in r.urnp nu 111 are revealed. He probnblv renlir.es In all sincerity thnt whnt might bo good policy for the United States today might, because of some enormous shift of events relnted to the present crisis, be bad policv tomorrow. This certainly Is not a time for rigid formulas. It will bo timo enough for a formula and time enough for the defini tion of n foreign policy when we are ablo to measure anew the forces with which we shall hnve to deal. But tho new foreign policy of the Unlied States Is nnd will and ought to he the most Important concern of parties nnd candi dates. Most of what we hope for may denend upon it, ccn though there are still many people who regard nny for eign policy ns a superfluous luxury of government in America. Mr Harding and his friends nro aware of this. But meanwhile they ought to know what Pennsylvania and I'enusjlvaninns think nnd feel. Tho state should be more than a spectator at so great an event as a presidential elec tion. Unless our democracy is a dismal pre tense polltlrs should not ho the exclu sive affair of party leaders. Nor should it be for those who like to parade them selves as the intelligentsia or the illu minati of editorial and party councils. Politics In Its relation to the life of the country is something thnt every one should understand, especially now. If the people will not take the trouble to do uny thinking in hot weather, then by till means tho major candidates Ought to be introduced in tho bhrlstmr sea-' son, For ono rcanon or another the state is drifting Mr. HprouH who rather than Senator Penrose ought to be the spokeHinnn for Pennsylvania opinion, has not madiv,n speech since Harding was nominated. Neither has any other Pennsylvanlai! whose opinion might greatly matter. And when Senator Penrose speaks he has the air of a man whose appeal is flung straight at un discriminating minds.'" And yet the principles nnd issues In volved in the present campaign might easily bo defined, nnd from sich defini tions rules might be made to guide not only voters but a candidate as well. Certainly a return to the congres sional system of government is deslr able. Mr. Wilson, who drew us away from that rule, Is forever recommending It to other nations. There will have to he in Washington a consciousness of the effects, Illimitable and measureless, that the new govern mental hnblts In Europe will have upon the life nnd affairs of America. No candidate, no pnrty and no po litical leoder who wishes to retain a reputation for sound mind can Ignore thnt requirement. It Is imperative that the people of the United States do all that Is in their power to nvert new wars not only In Kurope but ou this continent n,s well, and that the few per sistent jingoes who occupy plnees of advantage in the Senate be permanently curbed. The foreign policy of the new ndmln 1st ml Inn should nnd must rcrngnlie the necessity for a Icaguo of Nntions or some similar plan that will unite civil l7rd peoples and gnrrnmrnts In n part to eliminate wars, to facilitate interna tional understandings 'and to bring rest to a tired world. Wo should hove friendly understandings with all na tions. Europe may be unrecognizable in five years. And the time may come when we shrill need the co-operation of all strong and virile peoples to keep Iproce and to save civilization by tho example or sirengrn, nign purposes ana decent common alms. If we keep these purposes in mind the high cost of living will toko care of Itself. Otherwise it certainly will not. THE TRANSIT FAMILY ROW STREET-CAIt riders nnd citizens genernlly should not become unduly excited over the Infest developments in the locnl transit situation. There Is no need to get heated up over it fti this hot weather. It Is still purely n family row- between the P. It. T., headed by Mr. Mitten, on one side, nnd the various holding and subsidiary companies on the other. Like all fnpiily rows, this one Is a good one for the public to Keep out of, and this includes Major Moore as well as the people at large. Examined closely, Mr. Mitten's pro posal to the Union Trnction nnd other lease -holding companies, which at first blush looked like n carefully prepared plan to cut $4,000,000 or $.",000,000 off the nnnunl charges of the P. It. T., op pears In Its true light as nothing of the sort. In Mr. Mitten's statement rearrang ing the enpitnl of the new holding cor poration there is n serious omission. While It Indicates thnt the total amount of dividends to be paid would be only S0.HSf,000, it says nothing whatever about the rentals of the old horse-car companies which would 811 have to be paid as at present. Thebc amount to nenrlj fc'I.OOO.OOO and are by for the mot excessive In percentage on capital invested. Adding this sum nnd the other capital charges, including interest on bonds of the P. R. T. nnd under ljing companies, the total amount, in stead of being less than at present, would probably be several hundred thousand dollars larger. So far as relieving the public, there is nothing nt all to It. It may be asked why, then, Mr, Mit ten wns so eager to have this plan adopted? The obvious answer is thnt it would place the P. R. T. in yhose interest he is pnmnrlly concerned on a more ecn footing with other lease holding concerns. Instcud of Union Traction, People's Traction, Electric Traction and Philadelphia Traction having their dividends ou n guaranteed bnsis as at present, they would go on the snme basis ns the P. It. T. divi dends, which are not guaranteed al though cumulative. To this extent it wotild be relieving the P. R. T. of' such dividends ns "fixed charges." Actually, though, these dividends would have to be paid out of the Income of the compnny, which of course means out of the pock ets of the cor riders ns at present. One other advantngo which might nppenl to the Union nnd nfflliated lease holding Interests, if it were not offset by the loss of tho guarantees and the necessity of a Union stock assessment sm n ,hnre. is the fact thnt the re " -"" down federal income tax payments by nearly three-quarters of a million dollars. f But as stated in the beginning, the matter is one for settlement between tho companies nnd does not yet touch the vital question of how to cut down the enormous underlying rentals, unless Mr. Mitten is willing to admit that the dividends now guaranteed would surely be eliminated, like the P. It. T.'s last one, nnd that would be a far worse blow to the Union nnd other holding groups thnn the equitable readjustment of rentals on the basis of valuation be fore the State Public Service Commis sion. Mayor Moore ought not to lose hope so soon. His statement of yesterday indicating thnt he is thinking about in creased fares is premature whilo his ad ministration, under the direction of bis official counsel, City Solicitor Smyth, is still preparing Its cube on behalf of the car riders before the state commission. Nothing deflnlto nnd permnnent can be accomplished until tho enscs now pend ing before the commission nnd the stnto courts are finally determined, unless the underlying companies see tho hand writing on tho wall and tnke steps to avert the coming acute crisis In their affairs, as well us those of the P. II. T., by ugrcclng to a hcuslble rental compromise. THE EIOHtIhOUR DAY V i ' i Ben Franklin Advocated and Pig Iron Kelley Was Later Its Defonder Democrats and Ructions iiy oKoitm: nox McCain W, ILLIAM -D. ("PIU IRON") KELTiEV. of Phllndelnhln. wns n member ofCongrcss for twenty -eight years, lie was n great protectionist and friend of labor. The present universal 'demand of Inbor unions for nn eight-hour working day is looked npori as a modern effort of or ganized labor to secure a shorter work ing day without proportionate reduction in pay. Hut it isn't modern nt all. The proposition is sixty-six years old, nnd "Pig Iron" Kelley, then a young jew eler's apprentice nnd a member of a labor union, wns perhnps Ihe second man in the United States to advocate the plan, Ren Franklin declared that the day of the workingmnn should- be divided Into three parts of .eight hours each eight for work, eight for recreation nnd eight for sleep. THERE lies before me ns' I write n letter, dated May 10. 1S011. to the operatives in the workshops nnd fac tories of the Fourth Congressional dis trict of Penusvlvnnln from Kelley. . George W. Edmonds Is the present congressman from thnt district. A delegntlon of workers had written Congressman Kelley asking if he was in fnvor of the eight-hour svstem. He replied in the affirmative. In addition to the cntcgoricnl question lie ndded : "It is more than thirty-five jears since I united with journeymen of the jewelry nnd other trades in promoting the recognition of the ten -hour system. There are some of my rolnborers -who at this distant day can testify thnt in support of the reform we then proposed I then nsscrtcd that the laborer s day should be divided into three, equal divi sions. innsmucb as he could by eight hours of honest labor produce enough to entitle him to eight hours for rest ami eight hours for recreation and study. While thcro were labor unions in existence In this country ns early as the cloie of the war of the Revolution, the attempt of young William D. Kcl'cy to bring about a recognition of tho eight-hour day as far back s 18.11 Is, I believe, tho first of its kind In this country. . , . 4 . Eight hours a day Is growing, to be pretty generally universal except for doctors nnd newspaper men. WHY do practical politicians May in the game long after they have no finnnclnl need for it? . , "Time nnd ngnin I've been on the point of quitting," snld n widely known political leader.

I hove enough to maintain me cnmfortnbly for the restl of mv life, but it's no eonsoinumi in bo nble to sit around in an easy chair and twiddle your thumbs and look up artho blue, sky. T "I've been in the game too long. I can't quit now, anil I'm not going to quit until the last bell rings." And thut, 1 think, is the ingrnlned sentiment of every mini who bus at tained even a transln.t leadership In the age-old gome of political manipu lation. WHATEVER may be said against th unterrified Democracy, it is cer tainly consistent in the mnnner in which it starts a rpctionv nnd then keeps It going. It is stiong for "fighting It out on the floor of the convention." This alternative, though, is always the last resource of a minority that knows it is due for n sound walloping. T hi. Hon vrnnclsco convention, wnerc Hrynn made his last grandstand piny as n door fighter, only followed precedent in thus disposing ol douDtnu nnu od jectlpnnble issues. The Democratic convention of 1H0O nt St. Louis was, one conspicuous excep tion. t The 10-to-l issue would have been laid out cold as !t Norwav herring hnd not Colonel Jnmes M. Ouffey nnd Rich ard Croker, of New York, forced the plank into the platform without per mitting it to go before tho convention. It wns one of the cleverest strokes delivered by Colonel Ciiiffey, the lender of the Democrats in this stnte. Early in the game both (iiiffcjy and Croker' used the unit rule as a club to beat national delegates into line. There was a very strong sentiment against Hryan's crazy theory. He cnlled its objectors gold bugs, or "yellow bellies." Hut the unit rule triumphed nnd Rrynn for once snw the achievement of his' henrt's desire in the ndoptlon of his silver scheme ns n supposed panacea for the finnnclnl ills of the country. It is one instance where the old-time prnetice of mauling nn opponent around on the floor of ft convention worked against Democratic interests in a enmv paign.
