THE NEWBERRY CASE'AND
THE SALE OF PUBLIC OFFICE
Day la Coming When Effert9 te Buy a
Nomination Will Mean the De
feat of a Candidate
IT MAY be nssumed that the Senate will
act In accordance with the evidence
when it votes en the right of Truman H.
Newberry te his seat as a Senater from
Michigan.
Mr. Nenbery was convicted In Michigan
of the iluirr if using money illegally In the
primnrle-. The United States Supreme
Court, however, reversed the conviction en
(lie ground that the 1'edcral lnw limiting
the ue of money in primary elections was
Invalid, ns the prevision of the Constitu
tion giving te each house of Congress power
te "judge of the elections, qualifications nnd
returns of Its own members" was net bread
enough te cover the proceeding" In nominat
ing conventions or primary elections.
Thus Mr. Newberry was cleared of viola
tion of the Federal law. life accusers, how
ever, insist that he violated a State law.
He has net been tried en this charge and no
effort hns been made te try him.
The Senate Committee en Elections, after
a long inquiry, has reported that his elec
tion was legal ; that is, the Republican
members of the committee agreed that the
charges against him had net been sustained.
The Democratic minority Insisted that the
charge that he violated the Stale laws had
been sustained nnd that he wa net enlitled
te his spur. 15ut the whole committee ng.-eed
that Henry Ferd had net been elected.
These reports were filed en September 20.
They have been debated nl tutorials since
that date and an nrrangement has been
reached te lote en th" question next month.
In the meantime tevcral Republican Sena
tors belonging te the agricultural bloc are
saying that unices Mr. Newberry shall ap
pear in the Senate and defend himself they
will vete with the Democrats against ac
ceptance of the fnverable report.
The offense of Mr. Newberrv is that large
sums of money were spent te secure his
nomination and election. The public fe net
particularly Interested In knowing whether
this was an offense again! the lnv or net.
It Is an offense ngainst public opinion.
'Whatever political practices mnj have
been tolerated in the past, the time is
approaching when the man who Is known
te he extravagantly lavish in his election
expenditures' will be turned down. 1'ublic
office should net be for Kile even when
the purchase money is spent within the- four
corners of the law.
This was demonstrated last jenr when
the presidential booms of (Jetieral Leenard
Weed and CJoverner I.ewden ce!l.iped as
seen as it was known thnl Sl.fiOrt.Oiift or
thereabouts hpd been spent in behalf of each
in an attempt te securp delegates fuernble
te their nomination. It was net "barged
that the money had been spent corruptly,
but that it had been ueil te create favorable
sentiment where it did net eit before.
These nien might net have been iiomi iiemi
nateil anjway, even if the expenditures in
their behalf had been mere modest, lnit their
nomination became impessih'e n.s semi 11s the
amounts spent were published.
The Instinct which turned these ien down
was sn'ind. It was based en 11 solidly
grounded determination thai the 1'nlted
Stales shmibl net become a plutei-rnc , with
its efiires open only te men who had the
command of vast sums of money
This Instinct ! especially active in the
iltural Slntes and among the ni'-nbers
' c farmers' bloc in the Senate, who are
11'klng of etltig against Newberry Mew
they will really (ete when the tune muiPK
is net yet certain They are all geed enough
nieric,ins le knew tha! it is dangerous te
depart from the established custom of en
forcing (lie law and of acquitting a mnn
I against whom no violation of law lir.s been
1 established. They knew that Inflicting n
I peunl'y becnifee of a prejudice, no matter
; hew commendable the prejudiie niny be.
, p'rihiiihf an unsafe president.
The seating of Mr. Vewberry. assuming
! tnnt the majority report is adopted, will
I pet vindicate him. lie will smII remain
' guilty of Inning offended public sentiment
by spending fitnnagant -ums te secure his
e'ectlen. just ns William A Clarke, of

Fortunately, assurances arc already forthcoming-

Indications of n cohesion In Central America

MUCKRAKING THE ARMY
THUS far the record of thn Senate com
mittee appointed nt the behest of Tem
Watsen te leek Inte the continuing allega
tions of amateur Prusslanlsm In the A. 13. V.
hns been inconclusive and depressing. The
air Is filled with rumen und the minds of
u great many people hove been filled with
misgivings, yel nothing in the testimony
presented by witnesses justifies the Impres
sion, which Sennter Watsen sought te
create, that tyranny nnd brutality were
neeepted things in the tinny eversena.
In an army of hastily trained and newly
commissioned military officers there had te
be an occasional cur, an occasional brute,
a sprinkling of chumps nnd infrequent
manifestations of green egotism. And in
the mass of a military force as large as
ours there had te be a few skulkers and a
feu- ethers no mere willing te respect, mili
tary law than they were te respect the civil
laws at home.
Hut the record and achievements of the
army in France, its freedom from rewdyism
ami its extraordinary geed behavior under
all conditions In a time of unexampled
license and confusion must indicate te any
one in Id senses that the enlisted nnd
commissioned men were, as a rule, wonder
fully sound in the aggregate.
.If jeu were te assemble L'.IMlO.OOO chilinns
in a community of their own in this country
there would be far mere eidenccs of crime
or criminal tendencies nineng them thnn the
harshest critics of the army and its com
mand have even suggested.
Military laws are rigorous in times of
war. They have te he rlgoreu?. And t he
naturp and circumstances of the army's
mission in France made it peculiarly de
sirable that there be as few as possible of
the abuses which usually occur in populated
areas into which great nruilp pptiPtrate for
one reason or another. That was the desire
of the President and the commanding offi
cers. It was te th- interest of the army
nnd each soldier in its ranks thnl. this
should be.
It happened a a mailer of routine that
a few men incapable of heurl'ig any consid
erable responsibility were given ihe right te
excrelsi great nutheritv. and doubtless there
were soldiers here nnd tier" who suffered
through ice stnpidltj, ignorance and de
testable vanity of miner officers. There
were, for ciniiiple, tlip I la-d- Hoped Smiths

It is most unjust te nsn.icc that they vere

eers in generul. They were no me.-e like
th'1 men in general command than the un
disciplined and unwilling soldier was like
the men whoce tine temper nnd brilliant
lighting were matters of extraordinary pride
te the whole country.
What the Senate committee needs in de
is te be explicit and te force Its witnesses
le lie explicit. It ought te learn once for
all whether the stones of official outrage
that crop out new- and then are true or
fllse. Doubtless some of them are true.
Knewing this, it is the duty of the Scnnte

PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, HEOEMBEK
AS ONE WOMAN SEES IT
Why Are Net Certified Waists Made
as Attractive as Yliese Uncertified.
Seme Facts Concerning the Em
ployment of Women
Hy SAItAII O. I.OWRIE
T WAS buying some silk shirtwaists for
Christmas and I was puzzled at the dif
ference in prices. Seme that were mere ex
pensive were net pe attractive cither In de
tdgn or color as these of a lesser price. The
quality of 'the ellk seemed about the same.
I asked the saleswoman about It and fehe
said:
"Oh. well, perhaps thetc expensive one
are mere carefully made than the ethers."
There wnw u faint something In her voice
that arrested my attention for a second, and
later in the tiny I temembered it nnd won
dered vaguely what she had meant. It wat
net until I looked ever the three wntst3 that
I had chosen, after they en me home nnd
examined thera attentively, that 1 under under
Floed. 1 had bought one of the mero ex
'pensivu nnd Bllghtly less pretty waists and
two of the very smart ones. The smart
ones had no labels en them, but the mere ex
pensive one had a small three-cornered one
stating that: "This wnlnt has been made
under proper conditions both in the work
shop and as te hours of labor, wages,' e'e,
or words te thnt effect.
In the silk-waist trade and indeed, in
most of the garment trades for women's
wear, there arc model shop conditions where
all the State lnws are strictly adhered te as
te ventilation, sanitation, hours of work,
conditions of work, etc. ; nnd mere than
that where by agreement between the shop
owners nnd the workers certain ether condi
tions are ndhered te regarding the machine.!
used, the accessories supplied, the pay ter
extra time, the enlra pay for variations in
patterns, etc. Sheps where there is this
mnxlmum of geed conditions for the workers
have a right te a label luting the fact.
WHAT interested me was that the added
cost in this case was about .fa for the
certified waist, nltheugh It was less smart
nnd et no better material nnd en tie whole
net se salable as the ethers.
Thore was no reason why the ctrtlOea
wnlst should net have been made in no at
tractive pattern as the uncertified one; in
any oase it was unmistnkablc that the geed

NOW MY IDEA IS THIS!
Daily Talks With Thinking Philadclphians en Subjects They
Knew Best
WILLIAM W. ROPER
On Exercise for Business Men
rplIF, old principle of a "sound mind In a
X sound body" has an enthusiastic advo
cate In William W. Ilnper, City Cuuiicll
mun nnd cuach of the I'linceten football
(cam, who believes that it is difficult te find
both uiiles.i In combination.
"The average business man," said Mr.
Ileper, "pays a let of attention te his busi
ness, mere, perhaps, thnn he gives te any
ether half a dozen subjects, and yet he per
sistently neglects one of the main things
which will make that buslne.?s a uueertss
that is. the cenditlun of his physical make
up, 'llie timeunt of time thai American
men give te business ban become a joke, but
ther Inck of attention te their own physical
condition conies nearly te being a tragedy.
"I think It will net he disputed thnt no
one can de Ids best work unless be j physi
cally lit. Te be ut the top of one's abilities
makes demands upon both the physical and
the mental forces which cannot be met unlesw
the worker Is in excellent condition. And
there is only one way te get into this con
dition and remain se, nnd that is te take
some systematic form of cwrclfc.
".lust whiil form thlH exercise shall take
does net materially mailer. Mnnv take
their eicreluc In the form of walking, one
of (be most gentle but nevertheless effica
cious' forms known : ethers play golf or go te
n gymnasium, and n few gn in for the mere
ftrenneiis ami cninpelll,-e forms, such ns
boxing, tennis or rowing. ,
"Much depends upon ihe nature of Ihe
mil n as te the form of ejercl.-e. Most men
nre giegarlnus and prefer tlielr exercise In
cenipain with eihers. There is certainly
morn Pleasure ami hence greater benefit in
n walk taken with ii congenial companion
than iu one taken alone. In tills respect
golf Is one of the best form of exercise, and
I rheiihl net be surprised If it ewes a pait
of lis immense popularity le this clement.
Hegularlty nn Fssenlial
"Hut the main llilug In inking cxen l'e
for the brtu'licliil plivslcal results which It
gives la regularity. Toe much stre.s cannot
be laid upon tills point. A few moment it
day devoted regularly te mine excrci'e will
de a man u let mere geed than a couple of
hours of sever exercise at intermittent
periods and none taken between.
"A in everything else. It is the thing
which 1 done even dny that iu the end
becomes the best thing lli.H u mnn doe, and
It hIse ha u reilex beneficial inlliience upon
him. This principle applies with even mero
force, if possible, le the man who takes
exercise for the physical geed that lie Is
aelng tn derive from it.
"The business man who gees out en Snt
uidiiy afternoon nnd Sunday and pla.w.
thirty holes of gulf, and then waits until the
next Saturday before he plays again, ts
making a serious mistake. Fnless he is in
the best of condition (lie violent und long
sustained esercUe docs him harm instead
of geed.
"And Ihe man who does thi.. in usually
net in geed cenditlun, and tlietefere is mi
prepunsl te stand se much nml such long leng
cnntlnued exeicisc. He tomes back from
his 'sport' feeling mere tired than when he
left hit office. The exercise has done him
injury Instead of geed.
Danger of Otcrdeiug
"Theie is considerable danger of over
doing In the mutter of physical exercise, and
it Is one which should be guarded against.
The man vl.e nines back from tee much
exetcise thoroughly exhausted mnv knew
that it h'ts done hlin no geed, lie should
feel slightly Lred pliyslcallv. bin ids lemper
nnd generul spirits should net be ruffled ur
low pren bv the exeitlens which he lias. made.
If this is the ease, the chances nre thnt he
has overdone and hence gained nothing from
lis work; if. indeed, lie hns net suffered
Injniy.
"In the absence of an expert physical
trainer, which no business mnn iu fenreh
of i ueiigh exercise te keep him nt his best
all the time rcnlli needs, each person is
perfect') competent te murk out a course of
exercbe for himself. The great advantage
of a trainer i that be will see that the
leglme is fellow. d strictly. 'Illls the bu.
pcm man must de for himself, and If he is
in earnest about the matter he will carry
out hi- physical eureise m-ezruni m eon.

nothing Interfere with it. for unlet this is
done th" preliminary work Is wasted, A
number nf business men whom I knew com
bine business with exercls-c by walking all
the way or part of the way te and from
their places of business. This is nn cxceilent
plan and bus worked well in many cases,
where men have net the time nor. perhaps,
the Inclination te take mere rtreiiueiiH forms
of exercise.
Age Is Kclathr
"The matter of the nge of th" pcruen
who Is trying le keep his physical condition
up te the tup mark has something te de
with the amount and the form of exercise
which lie shall take. Hut. after all. age Is
purely relative. Seme men ut fifty or fifty
five can stand a greater nmeunt of violent
exercise thnn ninny it mnn of lliirtv-five.
It all depends upon tin. condition Iu which
lie has kept hlincf ni ( ,. nurse, te some
exlent upon his natural constitution.
"The uverage mini of ferly-five or liflv

rounds Hum lie should attempt te run it fast
MtO. It js ion violent work for one of his
age and probnhle condition. There are ei .
ceptlens, of course, but they are few and
