STANDING BY PHILADELPHIA
TO those of us who appreciate the
entity of this great Common
wealth of ours, the "getting to
gether" down In Philadelphia
Cor the Improvement of Pennsylvania's
glorious old metropolis Is Indeed good
bews.
For a long time tho Blankenburg
administration and the lawmaking
l>odi«a have been out of harmony. The
battle has at times gone to ridiculous
extremes. It has reminded us of the
two quarreling Parts cabmen who
vented their spleen and completely
satisfied honor by each hitting the
other's passenger over the head with
the handle of his whip.
First, councils struck at Blanken
burg by withholding appropriations
for the salaries of several of his as
sistant directors. Whereupon, the
mayor retaliated by whacking off the
heads of dozens of city employes who
were alleged to be in cahoots with the
Republican organization. This slaugh
ter of the innocents continued for sev
eral days, but now we are glad to note
that a truce has been declared, and
that both factions of the municipal
government have joined hands for a
greater Philadelphia.
With all Its politics and with all Its
ambitious politicians, Philadelphia has
ever been, and still is, the ideal Amer
ican city. It is the pride of the Com
monwealth which bears the name of
Its founder. As the only seaport In
Pennsylvania, it is our gateway and
our commercial hope. Whatever af
fects it, affects the State at large. Its
battles are our battles; its triumphs
are our triumphs; its disappointments
" are our disappointments.
The apparent failure of the drydock
light for League Island is as much
regretted in Harrisburg, In Scranton,
or in Erie, as it is within the confines
of the Quaker City.
We follow with interest the plans
for amalgamation of the commercial
organizations of Philadelphia. Wo are
proud of its public men and Its ster
ling citizenship. We weep with it for
those who disgrace its reputation for
nanlty and common sense, and almost
as one man the six and one-half mil
lions outside of Philadelphia support
fcnd applaud the efforts of the one and
one-half million inside to improve and
advance our metropolis in every way
possible— by developing its Delaware
river front —by deepening the channel
through which the great ocean liners
come in from the sea—by extending
Its system of parkways and subways
■—by the Issuance of bonds which It is
said will make $20,000,000 available
for public work by next Spring—by
whatever plans it may devise to make
Philadelphia bigger, better and more
competent to play the great and vital
part that must be assigned to It In the
life of Pennsylvania.
Literally and figuratively, Pennsyl
vania stands behind Philadelphia.
The fact that there is said to be seven
per cent, of alcohol in grape juice will
not prompt anybody to try to get drunk
on it.
ADVANTAGE I ROM MISFORTUNE
MEMPHIS newspapers print the
story of Connie Sullivan, who
has made the misfortune that
would havo driven many an
other into the depths of poverty yield
him an independent business and
earnings three times as great as he
had ever before received.
Sullivan was a trainhand. He lost
his right arm in an accident in the
yards. When he came out of the hos
pital the railroad company offered
him a "crossing to watch" at $35 a
month. Connie had always made good
wages and he did not think much of
a $35 Job. So he took account of
stock. He had been of a saving dis
position and he found that after all
expenses of his illness had been paid
he had left in bank $125.
Against the advice of his friends he
eut loose from the railroad and pur
chased a fruit and news stand witl
the money in bank. The stand ha
■ince grown to a prosperous store.
Connie is 30 years of age, has a per
manent business and hiu earnings are
triple what, they were as a trai iiniau.
The lesson in this is Dial Sullivan
■a.ved and practiced thrift in his ija.\s
of plenty. He laid something by for
that "rainy day" that is bound to

come to all of us. When It came It
did not find Connie "out In the wet."
Connie had trained himself not only
to save, but to see and take advantage
of Ills opportunities. That Is the rea
son why he Is an Independent business
man to-day Instead of a watchman
eking out a miserable '.lving at $35 a
month, with no prospects for comfort
In his old age.
The advantage of the ability to act
Instantly, decisively and with con
fidence, the habits of self-reliance and
decision developed—these are far
more important ends of economy than
the mere wealth acquired.
You will know what this means If
ypu have had the experience of losing
opportunities and "taking baok seats"
generally by not having a littlo more
money than just enough to live de
cently. How many times have you
hesitated and vacillated about making
a purchase of something which was
really a bargain just because you were
afraid you couldn't make ends meet if
you spent the money?
It is only another confirmation of
the scriptural statement that "To him
that hath shall be given, and from
him that hath not shall be taken away
even that which he hath."
Avoid such situations and enable
yourself to become confident, self
reliant and capable of prompt decision
by building up a reserve fund which
will be a storehouse of power for
future needs.
You can do it if you are a "sticker"
and not a "quitter."
Peter Under, a carpenter, of Spring
field. Ohio, says children were added to
his family faster than he could add
rooms to his house. Gosh! What
would lio have done If ha hadn't been
a carpenter?
News from Kakoshlma again gives
rise to the thought that even with
prlceß high and going higher and the
coal bin low and the temperature
lower, the United States is not such a
bad place in which to live.
DIVISION AND DEMOCRACY
NOTWITHSTANDING the Fiinn
movement in Pennsylvania to
divide and disrupt the Repub-
Mean party, the sentiment
throughout the country is rapidly
crystalizing on the proposition that
under our present system of gov
ernment there can be but two
great political parties. Mr. Flinn and
those associated with him have taken
advantage of the unrest within the
Republican party over old conditions,
which have been largely remedied, to
continue a separate organization. How
long they can persuade any consider
able number of Republicans, however,
to follow them in a course of po
litical conduct thpt in the last analysis
means only Democratic supremacy
will depend upon the attitude of the
Republican leaders more than upon
what the Flinn group may do.
It must be apparent to the average
.observer of political events and the
trend of political sentiment that the
pow-wow here during the last two
days, so far as old-time methods are
concerned, was little different from
the old party caucus.
Two years ago Mr. Flinn's conven
tion in this city demanded State-wide
primaries, direct nominations and all
sorts of electoral reforms. These were
granted by the last Legislature, ap
proved by a Republican Governor,
and are now in force and effect. Even
the United States Senator must now
be nominated in open primaries and
elected by the people in the same
manner as the Governor and other
State officers. But notwithstanding the
writing of these so-called reforms
into tho laws of the State, the Flinn
element still insists that there can be
no return to the Republican party,
knowing as they must that a continu
ance of the third party is equivalent
to being first aid to the Democratic
party. There is nothing else to it,
and Republicans who are still hon
estly of the opinion that the move
ment will have any other result must
soon be disillusioned.
No sane Republican will insist that
his party has made no mistakes. It
has been a party of great achieve
ment, but it has also been guilty of
many errors. These should be the
danger signals for the future. Evils
have existed and have been used by
the demagogue for his own special
purposes; but, as suggested by Henry
L. Stimpson in a recent discussion
of political conditions, "the great
changes of our industrial and social
life have incidentally dislocated our
governmental machinery and made
readjustment inevitable."
There are enough earnest and
brainy Republicans in the country to
raise still higher the party standard
and to energize and emphasize the
party's guiding principles in effecting
such an adjustment.
Notwithstanding the conference
which has just been held in this city
by the group that professes to see no
hope for the Republican party, there
are distinct evidences all over the
country of a disappearance of the 1912
"progressive" movement. Thousands
of followers of Colonel Roosevelt have
already returned to their old alle
giance—not, as suggested by the
Philadelphia Ledger, because they
love progressivism less, but because
they fear Democracy more.
So it is manifestly a fair deduc
tion from the developments of the
last year that there can be only two
great parties. There is no indication
anywhere of the permanency of the
third party movement. But it has
served a purpose in arousing the Re
publican party to its duty in the
matter of reform within the party
itself and to the need of more prompt
response to the demands of the
people.

evening cbdr
There was somothing very much out
of the ordinary In the conference of
the Progressives yesterday. Folks
here a#e accustomed to cut-and-drled
conventions and really like to see the
jy..? e .' s KO ar ound. Some elegant ex
hibitions of that kind have been given
in years gone by, but yesterday's dis
play was unique. It has been much
heralded that there are no orders
given and that there is no slate or
program In Progressive gatherings.
Even Mitchell did not have a
schedule of what to do. This is all
very true, but the fact Is that the
whole thing was so well In the hands
of the men who are running the party
organization that it did not matter
what anyone did. Consequently, they
just let things go. Witness the rising
of "Uncle Bob" Kdmiston to protest
on behalf of the farmers. They made
a show of letting him have his own
way, but In getting it there was a
grand exhibition of leaders lying down
to let the embattled farmer march in.
Tho real display of the grip came
when a Pittsburgher offered that reso
lution about confining primary can
didates to one party column. Mr,
Flinn just said it was not needed.
Everything else was as smooth as the
conventions complained of by the peo
ple who met here yesterday. Chair
man Mitchell has a keen eye for tho
dramatic and every move yesterday
was made for the maximum effect. It.
was a very pretty exhibition of how to
run a convention, under the name of a
conference, and to adopt a platform,
styled resolutions, and to let the peo
ple rule. The men in charge are to
be congratulated upon the discretion
with which they managed it. The
conference added much to the long
and Interesting political history of
Harrisburg.
Speaking of the conference, it has
been a long time (since anyone has
heard at a political gathering here
who possesses the clearness of enun
ciation oT William Draper Lewis. Mr.
Lewis. who was chairman of the reso
lutions committee, is dean of the law
school of the University of Pennsvl
vania and a master of the English
language. Every word he uttered yes
terday fitted in. Ho was never at a
loss and added to the charm of his
remarks was a distinction that carried
to the ends of the hall and which
pronounced every syllable. The dean's
enunciation fairly shone amid the re
marks yesterday. The nearest ap
proach to him was Congressman
Temple, who is also a college pro
fessor. Even Gifford Plnchot, with all
his culture, did not compare in dic
tion with the scholarly Philadelphian,
and perhaps he is too vigorous to give
the care that has become a habit with
Dean Lewis in speaking.
They style Commissioner Bowman
the machinist of the city. This does
not apply to his knowledge of govern
mental affairs, which is more or less
extensive, but owing to the fact that
he is a machinist by vocation, and a
good onp at that. Mr. BAwman waa
for a long time connected with tho
Harrisburg Foundry and Machine
Works and he is being asked every
day questions about appliances which
are connected with the city govern
ment from pumping engines to auto
mobiles.
The humor of the weather waa
illustrated yesterday when a man
walked down Market street with a
stack of straw hats on his arm. He
was a salesman getting in his orders,
but the sight of the hats made folks
shiver. On Wednesday when the city
shivered a man walked into one of the
big stores with a bundle of blazers
and talked business while hovering
over a radiator.
County Controller H. W. Gough is
having troubles of his own with his
new job, especially during the present
week's session of criminal* court. By
tho provisions of tho new law the
Count3 r Controller is required to enact
an oath from each claimant for wit
ness fees to the effect that he Is not
indebted to the county for taxes or
fines or costs. And therein lies a
portion of the trouble of the Con
troller.
The other day a man called 'round
for his witness fees.
"Owe the county any , taxes or
fines?" inquired the Controller.
"No, sir."
"Any back costs?"
"N—no. sir."
The Controller was about to "O. Iv."
tho warrant when a thought occurred
to him. "By the way." he asked sud
denly, 'what about the present? Do
you happen to owe any costs for the
present term of court?"
"Why, yes, sir, I got half the costs
of a case put on me," sir," replied the
caller, "and that's what I—ah wanted
to see you about."
ui T ! 1 f., 54 ; 5U t ee was char sed against
his bill of costs.
"NUMBER, PLEASE"
By Wing Dinger.
The proper caper, nowadays,
When to the phone you go, .
Is to give numbers to the girl
In "Phoney" talk quite slow.
Just as in life your ps and qs
Are foremost in your mind,
In phoning, watch your fives and threes,
The times, don't be behind.
For instance, if you want to call
Five-five-flve-five P. Q.,
To say "Fife-flfe-fife-fife," take note,
Is quite the thing to do.
ith threes, however, you must roll
The rs in Southern style,
Which you will find quite easy if
You'll practice for a while.
So, if in calling three-three-three, |
Prompt service is your wish.
Begin at once, and learn to give
Your tongue the proper swish.

STUART OR KUIUKEL
FOR GOVERNORSHIP
Republican Leaders Discuss the
Dauphin County Jurist
For the Honor
According to statements made in
Philadelphia last night and to-day by
prominent Republicans, either ex-Gov
ernor Edwin S. Stuart or President
.Judge Kunkel will be favored by the
loaders for the Republican nomina
tion for Governor this year. Ex- Auditor
General A. K. Sisson will be urged for
Lieutenant-Governor; Secretary of In
ternal Affairs Henry HouOk will be a
candidate to succeed himself, and
Judge Robert S. Frazer, of Pittsburgh,
will be advocated for the nonpartisan
nomination for Supreme Court.
No end of political talk followed a
luncheon at Philadelphia yesterday
attended by Senators Penrose and Oli
ver, Governor Tener and prominent
Republicans from all parts of the
State.
Senator Penrose will announce his
candidacy to succeed himself and call
upon his friends to get busy.
While the ex-Governor is the man
most talked of for the nomination, he
has declined to say whether he Will
be a candidate or not. He has said
repeatedly that he desires quiet and
does not want to go through a cam
paign again. Judge Kunkel has been
mentioned for Supreme Court many
times and four years ago was brought
forward as good gubernatorial timber.
He is recognized all over the State as
one of the strongest men who could
be put up.
Democrats here were bending their
ears to the ground to-day In the hope
that some word might come out of
the east that would tell
them that their agony
over their candidates for Democrats
Governor was needless Awaiting
by the positive decla- tlie Word
ration that the bosses
were going to favor
some one man. The candidacy of
Michael J. Ryan has been making
such headway and the friends of Berry
are becoming so perniciously noisy
that the bosses have been at their
wits' end. Secretary Wilson spoke last
night at a banquet, but thus far no
words indicating that he was willing
to be a sacrifice for the sake of the
bosses are forthcoming. Congress
man Palmer is still under the silent
spell.
Samuel Bryan Scott, member from
Germantown in the laat four Houses
of Representatives, wants to be pro
moted to the Senate, and
while here yesterday
Sam Scott voiced very definite as-
Wauts to pirations in that direc-
Go Higher tion. Mr. Scott started
in as a rear row insur
gent, but in a session be
came, under the tutelage of the vet
eran R. R. Dearden, one of the Inde
pendent chiefs. He would like to suc
ceed Francis S. Mcllhenny, who has
declared that he does not want to run
again. T. Henry Walnut, another in
dependent, wants to go to the Senate
as successor to John O. Sheatz.
Sheatz may not be willing.
The part played In the Progressive
conference by the Dauphin and Cum
berland representatives was hardly
what some of the
rank and file ex
pected from the Representative
number of voters of Home Folks
they are supposed Not In Evidence
to stand for. None
of the Dauphin men
spoke a word and the only time Cum
berland was heard from, aside from
the outpouring by Congressman Rup
ley, when he and other congressmen
spoke, was by Colonel Pascoe. The
colonel made a point of order, which
was rolled over. The State commit
teemen and chairmen from the two
counties and a number of the rank
Rnd file, including Colonel H. C. Dem
niing, were present. W. 11. Sponsler,
of Perry, was very much there with a
speech.
! A LITTLE
"I'm • puzzled about this custom of
eating to music."
"How's that?"
"I can't understand whether the food
is intended to keep your mind off the
music or the music is intended to keep
your mind off the food."—Musician.
"What are you fussing about there?"
"I found a pearl in my oysters."
"I have found many a pearl in a
mass of oysters, but I never found one
big enough to pay for the oysters."

—Wonder If the turndown given to
Democratic overtures for fusion had

given to the Bull Moose conference by
an esteemed morning contemporary.'
—Governor Tener said last night in
Philadelphia when asked about the

—There is talk of John Gribbel for
Congress in the Montgomery district.
—Very few of the Bull Moosers re
mained for the night trains.
—Dr. J. M. Martin, of Mercer, Is

—State Chairman Wasson was not

—There if? talk of Munson for Su
preme Court again, say Philadelphia
newspapers.
—The Philadelphia Inquirer says
there is reported a growing popular
demand for Stuart.
—Here's hoping no more members
of the Central Democratic Club re
sign.
—Congressman ,T. V. Uesher, of
Sunbury, Democrat, is out for re
election. He also has a few post office
appointments to plague him.
—A new fee bill is being urged at
