"PAY THE DEBT IN CASH,IKS MEEK Democratic Editor Recommends That Wilson Thus Wipe Out His Indebtedness to Palmer P. Gray Meek, for many years sec retary of the Democratic State Com mittee, and one of the best known newspapermen In Pennsylvania, is re ceiving many letters of felicitation on an editorial in his newspaper, the Democratic Watchman. Thta fulsilnation against the leader ship of A. Mitchell Palmer seems to have accentuated the factional differ ences in the State Democracy. "Pay the Bill in Cash" is the head line of ths editorial which is supposed to voice the feelings of the "Old Guard" against the leader of the "re organizem." This it what Editor Meek, who was Surveyo* of the Port of Philadelphia daring Cleveland's second term wrote: "Something ought to be done by the Dsmocrats of Pennsylvania to * dischaige the obligations of President Wilsor to A. Mitchell Palmer. The t'requait references to them In the public prints is scandalous. The pay ment of personal debts with public patratege is abhorrent to political morals and yet whenever a vacancy occirs in tho public service Mr. Painer sets up an unsatisfied claim. F<r example, the other day, according to Washington dispatches, the Presi d/nt indicated a purpose to appoint l>r Comptroller of the Currency, a recommended by the Sec retary of the Treasury. • "It seems that Mr. Palmer had a Candidate for the office as usual, and .upon the announcement that the President had determined to follow the advice of the gentleman respons ible for the administration of the of fice, Mr. Palmer's friends set up the howl that the oblfgations to him were being repudiated. "This sounds bad in the public ear and looks worse in the public eye. That public office is a public trust is nn unwritten law in the Democratic party. Therefore the use of public patronage to pay the personal or po litical debts of the President to Mr. Palmer or anyone else is an infrac tion of moral and political ethics. Rut in the case In question Republi can papers in Philadelphia and else where in Pennsylvania, obviously in spired. declared that an injustice had been done to Mr. Palmer. "But for him. these newspapers de clared. Mr. Wilson would not have been nominated and in that event would have had no patronage to dis pose of. 'Why,' they add, substan tially, "during the balloting in the Bal timore convention, when a majority • it" the delegates had voted for Champ Clark. Wilson telegraphed to his party manager. Mr. McCombs, asking that his name be withdrawn. But when Mr. Palmer saw the telegram he tore it up and on one of the subsequent ballots Mr. Wilson was nominated. "The friends of Mr. Bryan boldly claim that the nomination of Mr. Wilson was the result of the Nebras kan's masterly management of the convention and they are justified in some measure because when Champ i'lark's vote reached the proportions of a majority Mr. Bryan, though in structed for Sir. Clark, deserted him and started the tide in favor of Wil son. The friends of Mr. McCouibs in sist that Mr. Wilson's nomination was the fruit of his splendid management of the primary campaign and Mr. Wilson has given encouragement to this claim by calling Mr. McCombs to the management of the final contest and praising his ability and fidelity at every opportunity. "Other claims have been set up. more or less well supported anrl all the several claimants have received some consideration. But we don't know of anyone who has been as glutinous in his demands for recom pense or as unwise in the distribution of the favors which have been be stowed upon him as Mr. Palmer. "For the sake of argument, how ever, we will admit that President Wilson is under some obligation to I Mr. Palmer. Pennsylvania gave him no electoral votes, it is true, and If the party in other States had slumped ss it did in this State, the nomination would have been of little benefit to Mr. Wilson. But 'the laborer is worthy of his hire" and whether Mr. Palmer appeared in the campaign as lawyer, lobbyist or simply camp-fol lower, he is entitled to his fee. "But the fee should be paid in cash. <inly petty-foggers engage in litiga tion on the basis of contingencies, and Mr. Palmer doesn't want to be put in that class. For that reason he ought to be paid a round sum and the Democrats of Pennsylvania should pass around the hat and collect the amount needed to discharge the debt. Thia constant repetition of an unset tled claim is unfair to the President, humiliating to the party and demoral izing to the country."

Whether this unstinted patronage was due en tirely to the Turkish dancer or not would be pretty hard to say, for aside from this graceful and clever miss there is much to commend in the Or pheum bill this week. Fatlma danced her way Into favor and did all that the Orpheum management .said she would do. Her four dances were all cleverly T, xe S? fe J w,th as m »ny stage settings, light effects and costume changes. Re ferring to the advance advertising that was given Fatima, one of the local newspapers took occasion to say that If she ll"ed up to all that was said for her. she would probably offer a pretty •risque attraction. In defense of this. Manager Hopkins said yesterday that nothing more was said for her than that she wasn't a clgaret and that he hoped she wasn't.—Advertisement.
