SELF-SEEKING IS A FAILURE
Mushroom Parties Have Come and
Gone With Great Regularity to Sat
Isfy Personal Greed and Grievances
Senator Oliver Announces For Re
election. John K. Tener wa3 elected Governor
of Pennsylvania by a plurality of 33,
4S4 votes. John M. Reynolds, the Re
publican lieutenant governor-elect, had
a plurality of 122,018, and Henry
Houck was re-elected secretary of In
ternal affairs by a plurality of 175,-
892 votes. The mendacious raid niadt
upon Mr. Tener at the wind-up of the
contest reduced his plurality consider
ably, but the votes given to the othei
candidates on the Republican Sta!
ticket established beyond question that
the fight was personal and in no sense
political. The principles and policies
of the regular Republican organization
In Pennsylvania was approved In a
substantial way. The leadership ol
the Republican party In the State wa
given a clear bill of health and In the
reduced plurality given to Mr. Tenet
the voters were given an exhibition
of what threatens when the self-seekers
unlimber their mud batteries tc
clear the way for their own advance
ment. In the entire State the of
ficial figures show that Mr. Tener re
ceived 415,611 votes. Edwin S. Stu
art, four years ago received 506,415
votes, or 90,807 votes more than were
cast for Mr. Tener. Four years age
Lewis Emery, Jr., a frantic reformet
and the accepted leader of the politi
cal discontents of the State, polled
458,0.14 votes, or 75,927 more votes
than were polled for W. H. Berry at
the recent State contest. John M
Reynolds, the lieutenant governor-
elect, received a total of 429,874 votes,
while D. Clarence Gibbony, the per
petual place-hunter who has been
whipped for every place from ward
constable to the office to which he last
aspired, received 307,856 votes, or a
difference of 122,018 in favor of Mr
Reynolds. Hardly sufficient margin oi
Justification for the wrecking of the
Democracy of the State.
There are Indications, however, that
the Democracy will refuse to stay
wrecked. That ancient organization
really fattens on defeat and political
parties have come and gone with great
regularity ever since the voters of the
State refused to send John Wan.i
maker to the United States Senate
With Mr! Wanamaker In the United
States Senate the now discontents
would have been the regular organiza
tion and until that wonderful feat is
In some way accomplished political
parties must be expected to come and
go just so long as the voters are will
ing to be fooled and tricked Into fol
lowing the false pretenders. The
floating of new political parties In
Pennsylvania became a fine art away
back In 1898. Before that time there
had been the Greenback party, the
Prohibition party and the Republican
and Democratic parties. The Green
backers retired that year and In their
stead came the Peoples party, the Lib
erty party, the Honest Government
party and the Socialist-Labor party.
The several new parties died during
the next four years and In their stead
came the Anti-Machine party, the Citi
zens party, the Ballot Reform party
and the Socialists party without the
Labor contingent. During the next
four yeari a majority of these mush
room parties gave up the ghost and
were followed by the Commonwealth
party, the Lincoln party, the Referen
dum party and the Union Labor party
And now, at the present moment, or
at least at the recent State contest.
we find that several of the political
Isms have passed to eternal rest and
In their stead we have the Keystone
party, the Industrialists party and the
Worklngmen's League party with tli
Republican party, the Democratic
party, the Prohibition party and the
Socialists still alive and kicking and
likely to be In that position after the
organized discontents have shifted

HILPRECHT MAKES CHARGES
Former Professor Says His Office at
U. of P. Was Broken Open.
Philadelphia. Nov. 22. Dr. Herman
V. Hilprecht, who tes'gned two days
ago as head of the department of as
syriology and Semitic philology and
archaeology at the University of Petin-
sllvanla, in his letter of resisnatlou,
openly charges that, while he was
away on his vacation, last summer, hU
office was broken Into, his desk wa!
ransacked and many valuable papers
were stolen.
Tho hardest blow of all, he declared,
was that he discovered that tho an
cient tablets he had excavated from
the mounds at Babylon and deposited
la the university museum, the tablets
with the inscriptions upon which he
had based his most famous theories,
had been mutilated, defaced and In
some cases stolen.
The charges of Dr. Hilprecht havo
mused a furore among the university
trustees. They have taken ides, and
Samuel F. Houston, one of the most in
fluential members of that body, has re
signed. In sympathy with Dr. Hil
precht. Dr. Houston, who Is a member
of the class of '87, has always taken
a keen Interest In archaeological mat
ters, and the splendid building at the
university devoted to the collections
possessed by this department was
erected largely through his eiforts and
contributions.

ford, Conn.
Stamford, Conn.. Nov. 22. Mrs.
William Bowie disappeared from
Scranton, Pa., forty years ago, leaving
behind her four children, three boys

been living In Stamford with her third
husband, Samuel Totter, and her son,
John C. jJowle of 611 Adams avenue,
Scranton, found her here. A desire Ui
atone for the wrong she was led to
do 40 years ago Is behind yesterday's
reunion.
Of the children, the only one to re
tain the name Bowie was the son
John. He became a blacksmith, estab
lished a business of bis own and pros
pered. A month or to ago his mother
became ill. Fearing that fcbe was about
to die she wrote a letter to John
Bowie, Scranton, Pa., told him who
the was and asked him to come to see
her.
In the course of time the letter was
delivered to John C. l-owle. He wrote
to the mayor of Stamford, and learned
that there was a Mrs. Pamuil Potter
at the address g.ven. After further
investigation he and Ms wife cama
here.

Reading, Pa., Nov. 22. Unless there
Is a big drop In the price of turkeys,
the fowl will bo missing from many
tables on Thanksgiving day. Turkeys
are quoted at 40 cents a pound dressed
for the choicest and the live ones
bring from 2S to 30 cents a pound.
In the larger cities they are much
cheaper, and yet Reading 1r In the
heart of tho rural district whore thous
ands of the turkeys are raised annual
ly. Housekeepers here are satisfied
that the Berks farmers have formed a
"trust," and will use every enort to
make them come down In their prices.
Several enterprising dealers have ar
ranged for large shipments from other
states, which they tay they will sell
at 20 cents a pound. In this event tho
"trust" will be broken and farmers
will be glad to get rid of their birds
it any fair price.
