',
the implied powers of the Constitution, new
grown te rastj'propertlons, were first fortl fertl
lied by the weight of judicial utterance.
Rilling after ruling imparted elements of
cohesion te the Natien, effacing the nssumed
paradoxes existing in the scope et State and
national authority. Taney, his successor,
wns avowedly a "strict constructionist" of
(he Constitution, and yet, except for the
famous Drcd Scott decision, a new ndmittnd
blunder, the reasoned and closely consid
ered judgments of the court were often dis
tinctly in line with the Marshall tradition.
Since the Civil War, shortly after which
Chief .Tustire Chase made the memorable
declaration that this Natien was nn "hide
structlbK Union, composed of Indestructible
States," the basic nature of the Republic
has net been a subject for definition by the
Supreme Court. Its functions, hewever, as
a constitutional interpreter, as the ultimate
authority upon legislation, as the arbiter
in causes between States and as the final
veice in matters of national moment have
steadily broadened.
Through nil this process of adjustment
public respect has gene hand In hand. The
Supreme Court may be nugust, but it is net
old-fegey, nnd though it be in a sense- the
embodiment of restraint, it has continued te
dlsplny an elasticity and a sense of values
which is n salient cause of its vitality.
The average citizen, net Involved in some
cause befere its bar, is net accustomed te
dwelling deeply upon the province and per
formances of the highest Instrument of
appeal in the land. The position, integrity,
wisdom and authority of, this court nre au
tomatically accepted.
The formalities In the presence of Chief
Justice Taft in the charming old building
yesterday serve, among ether things, as a
tonic and wholesome reminder that there is
at least one institution which Americans are
both bound nnd voluntarily happy te re
THE BACK-ROOM CANDIDATE
INDORSED IN OPEN MEETING
Mr. Vare's Personally Conducted City
Committee Saya Mr. Vara Did Right
In Hand-Picking Alter
TV ANY ONE expected the Republican City
Committee te keep its hands off the con
test in the primaries he has discovered that
he did net knew of what sort of stuff the
committee is composed.
Plnchet nnd Alter are contending for the
Republican nomination for the governorship
nnd Pepper and Burke nre contending for
the senatorial nomination. Theoretically,
the function of the committee is te see that
the voters of the party hae aii opportunity
te express their preferences at the pri
maries nnd then le cxeit itself te bring
nbeut the election of the candidates nomi
nated. But this committee is net new nnd never
has beeu impartial in a contest for n nomi
nation. It has always bceji for or against
some one, nnd It has exercised all the power
it possesses te bring about the ends which
it sought.
It is net necessary te go any further back
than the mayoralty campaign of 15)10 te find
it committed te the candidacy of Judge Pat
terson. It fought Mr. Moere and came
within 1300 votes of defeating him. This
Is what Ed Vnre and Dave Lune think the
committee should de. It Is what Jim Mc Mc
Nichel and Is Durham and Dave Martin
nnd Bill Leeds and Jim McManes did before
them. Even If there were no formal Indorse Inderse
ment of candidates such ns was given en
Monday afternoon, the party workers were
quietly ordered by the committee te light for
the nomination of certnin candidates.
All this has been done en the theory that
it is the way te keep "The Organization"
Intact and te retain its held en the offices,
without which its power would decline. The
committee has responded te the Instinct of
self-preservation. It knows that it Is net
a representative body, no matter what It
pretends te be. When wnrds elert members
out of sympathy with the group In control,
seuts in the committee are often denied te
the opposition members and rump ward or
ganizations aie set up te elect men who will
te as they are told.
Therefore the indersement of Mr. Alter
Is net an indersement of his candidacy by
the Republicans of Philadelphia. It Is noth
ing bur a renewal of the Indersement of him
by Senater Vare, who waB one of the men
who selected htm In the first place. Vare
pulled the strings and the dummies danced.
The action of the committee has net made
Alter stronger by a single vote, while the
chances ure that it has added te the strength
of Plnchet. The independents will see in
It justification for their opposition te a can
didate selected In a prhatc room by a group
of contractors who happen te control the
party machinery in their cities and ere in
politics for their private profit.
When Councilman Wcglein asked nt the
committee meeting "Who In hell presented
Plnchet's nameV" he reliected the feeling of
the men In control. Whut right has any
body te presume te question tin- wisdom of
the oiguuizatleu leaders und run a candidate
In opposition te the one the leaders hae
picked V Because Mr. Plnchet was asked by
a large group of representative Republicans
te be'enip a candidate without first nsklng
the City Committee whether they might de
it, Mr. Plnchet Is an outlaw in the opinion
of these who train with Vare.
The situation of Senater Pepper is dif
ferent from that of Mr. Plnchet. Just what
inliueines brought about his appointment 10
the Semite by the Governer has net been
dlseleicd. He is new a tandldate for the
nomination by general consent of the or
ganization, while Representative Burke, of
Pittsburgh, is contesting It with him.
The committee has given its Indersement
te the Senater and he has au opted it with
gratitude and gracleusness. lie wants the,
nomination and he wants the support from
all sorts of Interests, and he U willing te
accept whatever support lie tan get. He
might hae told the committee that it was
going be nnd Its proper function in indorsing
him, but he is n practical man and he knows
that whatever ether vices the leaders of the
committee may have, they de net practice
the vice of hpecrlsy. If they ure Indi
vidually for Pepper, they are net going te
pretend te be Impartial In their official
capacity. Pepper knows they are for him
and he Is perfectly willing that they should
say se. In return for this declaration he
has told them that he is a strong "oiganiza "eiganiza "oiganiza
Hen man."
What effect this declaiutlen will have
upon the esteem In which he Is held In the
community does net et nppear. It Is te be
hoped that It may have no serious effect
upon his primary etc, for between Pepper
und Burke every geed cltlcn uwuic of the
record of the two men must cheese Pepper.
. Te return te Alter, it is worthy of note
'that 710 one mwtlened Governer Sproul at
EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER-PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, MAY 8.
was an apparently deliberate attempt te
ignore the part which he had in bringing
Alter te the attention of the contractor,
bosses who selected him. They were afraid
if they said anything about Sproul and Alter
that Plnchet would remind the voters that
he Is pledced "te clean up the mess" in
Harrisburg that lias become disgraceful dur
ing the Sproul Administration nnd that Alter
is saying Httle about it. Indeed, Alter Is
still drawing his salary as part of the Sproul
Administration, while Plnchet resigned as
Forestry Commissioner as seen as he defi
nitely entered the race, in order that he
might be free te tell what he believed te be
the truth about conditions in the State
capital.
PUT-AND-TAKE
IjlAR mere significant nnd enlightening
JD than a yard "long official cemmunique
from any diplomatist at Genea was the
sudden rumor of a British triumph in the
general scuffle for exclusive oil concessions in
Russia. All Russia's oil may have been
bartered away by the Soviets. The rumor
et a sweeping grant te British capitalists
may be without foundation in truth. But
the announcement of a British victory wns
needed te remlnd the world that a war Is
en and that It is net being fought without
intense energy merely becnuse it is being
directed in silence.
The conference at Genea is, In fact, an
economic conference directed only en fhe
surface by statesmen. European captains
of finance have had mere te de with it than
any Government, new or old. And it re
mains te be seen whether IJeyd Geerge nnd
his associates were unaware of the enormous
coup which the British and allied oil men
have been trying te consummate under their
eyes. It is seriously te be questioned, tee,
whether business men may safely assume
te be dominant factors ever the represent
atives of government in any great affair of
international diplomacy. Fer, even while
the leaders of the most pewe,rtul European
oil combine were congratulating themselves
upon what seemed like an unprecedented
achievement at Genea, Leen Tretzky was
making nn ominous speech at Moscow. He
was addressing a part of the Russian Army,
which Is at the present time the most power
ful and spirited army in the world.
"Soldiers," Tretzky said, "be ready t"
Tretzky is net like the amiable Chlchcrln,
who has been putting the natural resources
of Russia up for sale in Europe. He Is net
like Lcnine, who is a thinking machine,
with a habit of surrender and compromise,
Tretzky is the hardest-boiled radical alive.
And he is commander-in-chief of the Rus
sian Army and a man who can de with the
Russians nnd with the ether ruling Bol
shevists nbeut as he pleases. The signifi
cance of Tretzky would net have been lest en
any European diplomatist worthy of his
salt, though the foreign oil barons seem te
be unaware of it. There Is no treaty possi
ble of acceptance at Genea which, if It in
volved Russia, could net be nullified and
scrapped by Tretzky.
Suppose, then, that the Biitlsh oil men
have cornered Russian oil reserves j or
suppose that they may corner them or that
ethers may corner them. And suppose that,
after a great deal of real money had been
expeuded In the development of Russian oil
fields, Tretzky and his disciples were moved
nguln te feel that the only decent thing te de
In this world is te seize private property.
Would the British send an army and a navy
te protect "British interests"? Suppose
the perpetual quarrel between Tretzky and
I.enlne leads te a split and an internal war
in Russia. Te which side must the con
cession holders leek for protection?
The game at which the oil men arc play
ing is but one of hundreds of similar ones
new speeding up at Genea. Russia is be
coming te all of Europe what Mexico was te
the United States until the advent of Mr.
Wilsen nnd Mr. Harding put a check upon
the foreign Invester bred in the belief tiiat
he may take desperate chances with his
money and yell for the army or the navy te
get him out of his scrapes. A weak Gov
ernment with enormous undeveloped re
sources te barter about Is always danger
ous te its own people and te ethers.
Whatever is filched from Russia by head
long opportunists will cot far meie than it
is worth in the end. What Russians and
the outside world need is an open deer in
Russia. If the economic conference cannot
perceive and meet that need.it will be worse
than UReless.
The United States is in a difficult position
with relation te the conference. Secretary
of State Hughes is right in his present
course. Without a Btable and mere or less
representative Government in Russia the
Russians themselves and any one who deals
extensively with them will be in danger.
And Washington, refusing te be tempted
Inte an enormous game of put-and-take,
which jet may lead te gunplay and blood
shed, is doing the rational and decent thing.
A NEW USE FOR OLD CLOTHES
WHAT Belgium was in the war of Ger
many ngalnst the rest of Europe Ar
menia is in the terrific war of national reli
gious and racial Interests in the Near East.
It is the point at which Eastern and West
ern civilisatiens meet and conflict. It has
been trampled by Invasions, swept by famine
nml pestilence. Its people have been mas
sacred, scattered and starved. Its children
are orphaned nnd dependent for life en the
pity of strangers.
Fer the deselate millions of the popula
tion, who will be barefooted and half nuked
when winter conies, Near East Relief, which
Is incorporated by Congress and uctlng in
Armenia for the American Red Cress, wants
jour old clothes nnd shoes, and any ether
warm garments for which jeu have no use.
All the schools are bundle stations today.
Bundle your discarded things nnd take
them te the nearest "bundle stntlen." Yeu,
like the unfortunates for whom such gifts
are iutended, will be happier next winter.
ANOTHER INTERSTATE LINK
INTERSTATE communications evince a
notable development In the preparations,
new virtually completed, for establlshlpg a
frequent ferry service between Tacony and
Palmyra, N. J. Twe double-ended steam
ers have been acquired and will Inaugurate
the new cress-river run en Satutday.
It has been many years since any effective
effort has been made te supply feet passen

for passing the State line in tlilH region.
The Tacony ferry will obvlnte the necessity
for a detour as far north ns Bristel or ns

The new service is net In the least a
makeshift pending the completion of the
bridge. The structure will necommednte
the municipal district nn both banks of the
Delaware, but Increased communications nt
ether points will continue te be deslrublc,

When the bridge Is built it probably will
be found that another span is needed, and
even additional ferry linen north and south

AS ONE WOMAN SEES IT
Bar Yerke Stevenson Made the Let of
Women In Journalism a Pleatanter
One by the Example of Discre
tion and Dignity She Gave
te Her Werk
Uyv8ARAH D. LOWRIE
SOMETIMES I wonder if among all the
activities In which Sara Yerke Steven
son was a moving force any has profited as
much by her connection with it as that of
journalism for women. '
Perhaps better than most of her acquaint
ances I am In a position te judge just what
Mrs. Stevenson has done in that regard, net
only for her day and generation, but for
the generation that will reap the benefit
Without very well sennlnc the source.
Journalism has long been an honorable
calling for women, thanks te these who have
shone In its ranks, but te ignorant and
therefore prejudiced onlookers it has net
always seemed a gracious or worth-while
position of power.
Many persons ielt that they were within
bounds if they thwarted the getting and
the giving of news. And many persons felt
that they were quite within bounds if in the
company of journalists they assumed that
nothing could be left te the discretion of the
journalist and almost nothing left te her
honor.
MRS. STEVENSON, who was Peggy
Shlppen of the Ptri.ue liKner.n, swept
nwny that Ignorance nnd therefore much of
that prejudlpe, and only the indiscretions of
the women who are her successors can undo
the work she se ably and quietly performed.
It never occurred te the many persons
who talked things ever with her, nnd most
persons who had news prlvnte or public that
nffect the welfare of this town were went te
talk things ever with her it never occurred
te them te say : "This must net be written
up!"
On the contrary, her word was waited for
whether a thing should be made public and
hew and when.
She wns inundated with Items that per
sons wished her te consider news; and that
she accepted se much speaks volumes for
her real kindness of heart, for she knew
without the lifting of her hand enough te
fill her space twenty times ever. And she
was given mere liberty than any Journalist
befere her day te write what she pleased.
Out of the long experience of her life anil
the varied personal experience of her davs
she had "copy" and te spare concerning
things that belonged te her life, but she
allowed ether Interests nnd ether persons
te use her ns a mouthpiece te a most gen
erous deeree.
I think this wns due te a perennial veuth
in her that would net permit her te stag
nate or lag en the forward march.
Her acceptance of se much news gave
muny really timid souls courage te ask her
te accept mere, and In the end she get her
whole great community of mere than a mll
1 en souls accustomed te the Idea of sending
their news little or big te the newspaper.
,.f erhnps the "space manager" sighs ever
'""sjdee fixe ns 1111 inheritance he would
gladly forge, but te the gatherers of news
it is really a godsend. Fer thev meet a
response te their peifectly reasonable in
terest which actually gees mere than half
wny. That is, If they are known te be ready
and able te publish news, the news is
vouchsafed with a very generous gesture of
trust nnd gratification. .
EVERY new nnd then one meets nn old
timer who has a lefrain of cautionary
expurgations; every new and then one is
bored by a sort of bantering taking for
granted that nothing is safe when a news
paper representative is within earshot, but
what used te be the rule among women is
new the exception where Mrs. Stevenson
wns known.
I. for one, nm immensely grateful te her,
and I wish with all my heart thut I could
tell her se face te face.
I suppose the secret of her discretion was
net only personal dignity and what is called
worldly wisdom, but an instinctive sense of
what would help and what would hinder a
geed cause or a geed person or a geed Idea.
Te make much of differences, te ncccnt
temporary maladjustments, and te tell tins
story in the exact words without the per
vadlng utmespherc te be, in fact, a mis
chief maker instead of a constructive oh eh
server In the end shuts the doers in the face
of that particular nevvsgetter. People may
Lei, , Vi1"' bu',Bl'e hns ' kucss her facts or
what she sends in as facts, and in the end
she loses her usefulness, no matter hew well
sne writes.
MRS. STEVENSON wns sometimes curl curl
eusly absent-minded about dates and
data concerning coming events, but she was
te be trusted up te the hilt in the matter
of atmosphere what lay back of an event
nnd constituted the reason for it. Her train
ing in society and life in general made her
wary of Interpretations offhand. She might
have been racy she and her set knew mere
racy thugs about the people that make up
the world than the professional gossip jour

DR. WILLIAM C. BRAISTED
On Combined Curative Research Werk
RESEARCH work and the co-ordination
of all the healing ngencies will be one
of the greatest works of the present century;
according te .Dr. William C. Braisted, presi
dent of the Philadelphia College of Phar
macy and Science, and in this great work
for the benefit of humanity Philadelphia will
play a leading part.
"The work which we have In mind,"
said Dr. Braisted, "will begin at the very
beginning, that is, with the lalsing of our
own medicinal herbs und plants. In this
branch, ns well as in the later ones, the most
exhaustive research will be conducted. e
plan te experiment with all the new knevvn
medicinal plants nnd te experiment net only
with these and with combinations of them,
but also te raise many plants the medicinal
value of which is as yet net definitely known,
und. in short, te make a thoieugh and prac
tical survey of the entire botanical field.
The Physicians' Part
"When we have discovered drugs which
appear te bn of value in the science of heal
ing, the next step will be te have them
thoroughly tested. This we shall de our
selves in our own laboratories, up te a cer
tain point, and then we shall have them
thoroughly tested by the best physicians in
the country, many of whom have already
signified their willingness te co-operate with
us.
"When the time nrrives that these great
physicians nre convinced that ceitaln drugs
will always have certain effects, then we
shall give the formulae te the manufacturers.
We shall net de any of the manufacturing
ourselves, as it is essentinl for us te keep
ourselves entirely away from the commercial
slde; we are simply doing the work of dis
covery thieugh lesearch und experimenta
tion. "We ulrcadv have two ncrcs of ground
under cultivation, nnd there are 'J00 acres
at our disposal near Philadelphia upon which
w'e shall place our experimental botanical
gardens. Frem the work which is te be
denp en this land we have high hopes of
making soma important medical discoveries.
Combining the Factors
"Our plan contemplates the working to
gether in a closer manner than ever before,
since medicine nnd pharmacy separated
nbeut n century uge, en these two great
agencies, and te them will be added the
work of the chemists, bacteriologist,, and all
ether agencies which are new working mere
or less separately toward the samu end,
"A nrnetical demonstration of the value
of an institution of this kind was given in
11 notable way at the American University
Experiment Station In Washington during
the war. Amazing results followed the labor
of the experts In the various lines, nmeng
them being chemists, phslcists, biologists,
pharmacolegists and pathologists from many
sections of the country und all working
under 0110 reef in close co-operation und in
conference almost hourly.
"This ib wimt we hope te establish as a
permanent tiling, nnd if the work is carried
out along the lines new planned, as there
sceliis te be every likelihood tltat it will be,
It will constitute one of the great move
ments of the present century. Thousands
and hundreds of thousands of lives are new
being lest needlessly becatise of Insufficient
knowledge concerning chemical, physical und
biological changes.
Higher Standard of Drugs
"With all these agencies working to
gether, it will be quite possible, te obtain
new und higher standards of drugs. Re.
search and experimentation alone wUPde
much, but we plan also te have the co
operation of many of the largest nnd most
responsible chemical and drug houses and te
take full advantage of their practical knowl
edge, "Together we shall approach the prob preb prob
lems which constantly beset the plusiclan
nnd the pharmacist; problems rclntliis te
the Brlablllty of drugs, their pathological
action and the results of combining them

Philadelphia will play a lending jiart, and
the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and
Science will be the vehicle for the move
ment. We have thus fur received "the heart
iest co-operation which could be asked from
1 t ,,v, wl' ,,ave ljeCM "PPrenchcd, and all
the allied branches of medicine have ex
pressed hearty approval of the idea. This
has been the casu with the manufacturing
houses ns well as with the scientists. It is
no part of the program te interfere in any
"ay with private enterprise. Our work
will In u measure be te stand as a sort of
clearing house between the medical arts and
sciences and the manufacturers. The prob
lems of the former will come te us, we shall
solve them if possible, and turn ever the
results, after they have been thoroughly
tested and approved both by us and by the
physicluna te the manufacturers.
