PENROSE AND THE PRIMARY
SENATOR PENROSE'S formal
declaration of his purpose to
make another race for the Sen
ate gave him a fine opportunity
to discuss the popular primary and
the flagrant violations of its letter and
spirit by the leaders of the Democratic
and Washington parties in this State.
Most observant persons will agree
with him that there has not been In
the political history of Pennsylvania
Buch arrant and arbitrary exhibitions
of bossism as those of the fwo parties
which have so vehemently denounced
that sort of thing in the Republican
organization. President Wilson se
lected the candidates of the dominant
taction of the Democratic party and
immediately issued orders from the
"W liite House that all other aspirants
should get out of the way of the steam
roller. But the Wilson hypnotism has
about lost its effectiveness and the
Democrats all over the State are coin
ing out of their trance. Similar causes
have produced similar results in the
Washington party and thousands of
■well-meaning Republicans who sup
ported Colonel Roosevelt are tired of
the first-aid-to-the-Democracy policy
of tiic leaders of the third party move
ment.
Fearful of the back-to-the-party
trend among those who refused to
support Mr. Taft, the Democratic or
gans of the Wilson faction are openly
advising Washington party voters to
register this year as Democrats. Hav
ing failed to accomplish fusion the
bosses of the Democracy are now des
perately trying to achieve their object
in another way.
But the utter indifference of the
anti-Republican forces to the primary
law for which they clamored so loudly
two years ago, as demonstrated in the
elating of the tickets of the Demo
cratic and Washington parties, has
awakened the honest voter to the real
situation and there is certain to be a
tremendous drift toward the Republi
can lines. It was certain to come and
even the baiting of Senator Penrose
could not much longer have prevented
the inevitable return of Republicans
to their natural fighting ground. We
cihall not be greatly surprised to see in
the next few weeks a rapid breaking
up of the opposition to the Republican
party. It does not follow, of course,
that there is to be a return to old
■party methods and the arbitrary rule
that is now causing the disruption of
the Democracy, but the Republican
•party having taken a position on
higher ground with the colors well ad
vanced there is now no reason or jus
tification for the honest Voters of the
party of protection und prosperity who
were for a time constrained to fight
•under another ling to remain outside
the breastworks.
Senator Penrose has submitted his
candidacy squarely to the voters and
on the proposition that the'popular
primary "has come to stay and should
he cheerfully acquiesced in by every
one as the final decision of a majority
of the people." He invites a full dis
cussion of his record covering a period
of eighteen years in the United States
Senate and upon that record is willing
to leave his candidacy to the electors
for their decision. No man could do
more, and whatever the opposition to
the Senator it will be conceded by all
fair-minded persons that he has rec
ognized the spirit of the primary law
in thus submitting his public service
for the consideration of the voters.
Two other Republicans have entered
the arena and it will hardly bo argued
that Senator Penroso is the only
choice; that he has in some occult
way possessed the whole field. He
has simply observed the spirit of the
primary law and in compliance with
Its provisions asks the people to de
termine whether he shall longer serve
the State in the most important leg
islative body in the world.
It will not do for the opponents of
Senator Penrose to throw dust In the
eyes of the people by declaring that
his platform of protection to Ameri
can industry and his insistence upon
a. real American policy with respect
to international affairs, instead of the
"watchful waiting" program of' Hie
Wilson administration, is out of joint
with present-day ideals and the atti
tude of the country on these questions.
TUESDAY EVENING,
On the contrary the people who think
for themselves—and the number Is
Increasing by thousands dally—aria
beginning to understand that Senator
Penrose and those who like him are
standing firmly for the ideals of the
founders of the Republic are the
statesmen to whom the eyes of an
awakened people will surely turn
when the present era of hysteria and
impractical theory shall have passed,
and It is now passing.
| Senator Penrose has violent and re
lentless opposition. No man who has
been so long in public life is able to
i escape it, but under existing circum
stances he should be judged upon his
I record us a member of the United
States Senate. Has he represented
this Commonwealth and its interests
with devotion to the welfare of the
people? Has he stood at all times
for that which was best for his im
portant constituency and the great in
terests and industries of an imperial
jCommonwealth? These are the ques
. tions which every voter must deter
mine for himself and Senator Penrose
is entirely willing that his candidacy
shall be considered on this basis. It
matters little who shall lead a party,
but it does matter that Pennsylvania
shall be properly represented at Wash
j ington.
I "Mexican money in sad muddle," says
! newspaper headline. Naturally, in
Mexico.
JUDGE KUNKEL'S POPULARITY j
THE first petition naming Presi
dent Judge George Kunkel as
candidate for Justice of the
Supreme Court conies from
Blair county. It is signed by many
prominent citizens, irrespective of
party, including the county sheriff, the
piayor and city commissioners of Al
toona.
It is to be remembered that Judge
ICuukel's candidacy was not formally
announced until Saturday, and it was
only two days later that his petition
arrived here from a county in a distant
part of the State. It is easy to under
stand the popularity of a candidate
of Judge Kunkel's qualifications in
his home district and the counties
'roundabout, but spontaneous response
from faraway districts can mean but
one thing—that Judge Kunkel is as
well and as favorably known over the
State as he is in Dauphin county.
This is not due alone to his personal
popularity, although he has the re
spect and admiration of every lawyer
that has ever practiced before him,
but to the splendid record he made
for himself in the Capitol cases and
the many important State suits that
have been tried before him.
The United States Senate has voted
that there shall be no more smoking
on the floor of the chamber. But It is
hardly to be expected that this will
either clear the Senate atmosphere or
prevent the usual number of "roasts."
ELECTRIFYING THE PENNSY
DISPATCHES from Philadelphia
announce that plans are afoot
for the electrifying of the Pitts
burgh division of the Pennsyl
vania Railroad. While the project is
vast in its extent and costly beyond
the means of a corporation less
wealthy than that operating the great
Pennsylvania system, the truth of the
report is well within the bounds of
likelihood.
Years hence financiers doubtless will
wonder why such astute managers as
those at the head of the State's largest
industry permitted the immense
energy of the Juniata and Susque
hanna rivers to go to waste, while at
immense cost and frightful waste they
operated their railway with coal-burn
ing, steam-driven engines. Electricity
is the motive power of the future and
our rivers a never-failing source of
supply.
Scientists have been giving us chills
for years by predicting the early ex
haustion of our coal deposits, but with
the rivers harnessed and working not
only will our coal be greatly conserved
for uses to which electricity cannot
be put, but its price will be main
tained at a comparatively low level.
For ages the Susquehanna and the
Juniata have been sweeping -onward
to the sea, spending wastefully a
power that if properly controlled
would drive the traffic of a great rail
road from one end of the State to the
other. What Is more reasonable than
that this vast energy should be turned
to use?
No, Maude, the man who said "figures j
do not lie" did not refer to women.
WILSON AND THE PLATFORM
WHEN the suffragists asked 1
President Wilson to recom
mend to Congress a "votes
for women" amendment to
the national Constitution, he replied
that he is merely the spokesman of
the Democratic party, and as such he
declined to advocate anything not set
forth in the Baltimore platform—ini-!
plying that he is guided as President
by the planks of that remarkable
document.
Now we find him advocating the
adoption of a law by Congress pro
viding that American ships be required
to pay tolls for the use of the Panama
Canal —this in direct violation of a
Democratic platform pledge.
Is it a mistake to assume that the
President used the poor old platform
merely as an excuse to dodge the suf
frage question?
Eighty thousand rabbit skins have
been shipped from the United States to
I Paris. They will come back as Persian
lamb, Siberian lynx and those other
animals we never hear about outside of
a fur dealer's advertisements.
Our idea of a reckless man is one
who buys his wife the new Spring
fashion magazines.
CLUB IOR LABOR UNIONS
II T is reported that President Wilson
would like lo have Congress com
ijine all of the Five-Brothers anti
: trust bills in one measure. in
whatever foun he forces them
II hrough, the President Will not be able
to avoid the consequences of antago
nizing the labor unions, the agricul
tural associations and the national and
State granges If he permits one clause
to stand unchanged.
It is this: "Any two or more persons
in the United States who make any
agreement, into any agreement,
or arrive at any understanding by
which they, directly or indirectly, un
dertake to prevent a free and unre
stricted competition among themselves,
or among any purchasers or consum
ers in the sale, production or trans
portation of any produce, article or
c&mnodity, shall be deemed guilty
of a misdemeanor and be punished by
a fine not exceeding five thousand dol
lars or imprisonment not exceeding
one year, or both."
This will unquestionably apply to
labor unions and societies of the
character of the Grange. Under the
pretense of striking a blow at "big
business" the administration is putting
a club into the hands of employers
that will enable them to send to jail
every labor union member In the
United States.
Perhaps the President may say that
he will not permit the law to apply
to either farmers or laborers. Very
well, then, how is he going to enforce
it on anybody?
leYeraofr c&arl
j
It is only when the list of things
which John Y. Boyd did or helped to
do in Harrisburg is published that
people here realize the part he played
in affairs ol' the State's capital. Mr.
Boyd was in the forefront of religious
movements for years and after his
retirement from the coal business so
long' identified with the family he gave
freely of his time to civic, charitable
and public duties. There are few
charities in the city which have not
been aided by him and the two Chris
tian associations were probably more
directly benefited by his active Interest
than that of any other resident of the
city. In fact, the Young Men's Chris
tian Association at Second and Locust
streets was practically built by him.
He was the chairman of the building
committee and literally "camped on"
the operation after lie had given of
his time, means and influence to raise
the funds to make the construction
possible. He followed the building
from the foundation up and took con
siderable pride in its equipment, al
though by reason of health and ab
sence from the city he did not take
an active part in its management in
recent years. When the Young
Women's Christian Association build
ing was projected Mr. Boyd took hold
of tlie campaign for raising the funds
and to use his own words "ran a race"
with some other projects which he
had helped work up. Another move
nient which he fostered und which for
a time worked substantial assistance
to juveniles was the Big Brother As
sociation. This was an organization
ot young men whose duty it became,
because of connection with the organ
ization, to keep an eye on the voung
sters who got into trouble. Literallv
it meant to play the part of an elder
brother and for a time the work of
probation officers was lessened because
some practical work was done. He
was long one of the active managers
of the Harrisburg Hospital and had
sketched in. his mind's eye the de
velopment of that institution which
will come before many years, his plans
being for a great institution for the
whole district round about. 1
Few are aware that Air. Boyd had
been for some time thinking about (he
erection of a modern hotel for this
city and had he lived it is possible that
it might have come about. He was
convinced that a first-class hotel, a
sort of apartment hotel, could be made
to pay in Harrisburg without a license
and that a cafe conducted upon those
lines and with moderate prices was
something that the city needed as
much as it needed a new hotel on an
up-to-date scale. To friends he men
tioned this project from time to time
and once said that he had an Idea that
the buildings now occupied by the
temporary post office would afford an
admirable site. This would have given
a hotel at Third and Locust streets in
a commanding place and had the
project matured it would have been
something of which the city could
have been proud.
Mr. Boyd encouraged golfing in Har
risburg as much as any man. An ex
pert player himself, he delighted in
matches, and would enter the tourna
ments and start scratch to "get him
self chased," as he used to s?iy. Bon
nymeads, the Boyd estate place just
beyond Paxtang, has the only private
links in this section, and Mr. Boyd fre
quently played on it up to a few years
ago, once having the deciding match
between the Country Club and Reser
voir teams played on the nine-hole
course. He supervised the laying out
of the links at the Country Club of
Harrisburg, the first club links here
abouts, and was chairman of a com
mittee which was planning improve
ment of the Lucknow course. He had
gi\en numerous cups for matches at
the club and was looking forward to
the opening of this season's playing.
one in Harrisburg has brought
as many noted religious workers to
Harrisburg as Mr. Boyd. He said one
time that the way to organize work
was to study the field and then iind
out what was done in places where ef
forts had been successful. He went
about the city, literally studying the
opportunities for home mission work
and secured the services of men who
had gotten results. On one occasion
Mr. Boyd disputed a statement re
garding conditions In a certain part
of the city with a friend, and after
the conversation started out to get
some firsthand information. He got
more than he bargained for, but he
furnished the funds to clean up the
neighborhood. On several occasions
Mr. Boyd secured the services of men
who had won fame as evangelists in
places where they were given severe
trials, one of those who is well re
membered being the "Lumber Jack."
Mr. Boyd said upon the occasion of
the recent anniversary of Pine Street
Sunday school that he was glad to an
nounce that It had the largest enroll
ment of any school In the city. "But,"
he added to some Sunday school work
ers, "It's not the enrollment, but the
number that we get every Sunday into
the classes.' He had plans under way
to Increase the average attendance
when lie died.

Tried to Have Philadelphia City
Democratic Committee En
dorse Harrisburger
COMMITTEE BOOMED RYAN
Penrose Will Be Boosted by
Friends Who Have Formed
Strong Union For Him
I An attempt to have the Pliiladel
i phia Democratic city committee en
dorse Vance C. McCormlcU for the
Democratic nomination for governor
last night, ended in the committee
voting 39 to 7 to endorse Michael J.
Ryan.
The boomerang was the worst that
lias happened to the Jersey slate since
the Democratic Club of Philadelphia,
a reorganization stronghold, voted not
to endorse anyone in advance ofr the
primary election. The motion to en
dorse McCormick was tabled when
sprung by a friend of the candidate
and the committee showed its resent
ment by immediately going on record
for Rvan.
The Philadelphia Ledger, indepen
dent, lias this to say about the meet
ing and its surprising windup:
"A dramatic episode last night
brought a routine, dry-as-dust meet
ing of the Democratic city committee
to a close. A supporter of Vance Mc-
Cormick, reorganizers' candidate for
governor, attempted to force through
an indorsement of him. It was like
touching a torch to a powder barrel.
When the smoke had cleared it was
ascertained that the committee had
endorsed City Solicitor Ryan's guber
natorial candidacy by a vote of 39 to 7.
The action was so unexpected, so con
trary to the procedure which had been
decided upon, which was to keep hands
off, observe the spirit o£ the primary
law and let the voters make their
choice, unswayed by action by any
official party organization, that after
it had been done both sides appeared
dazed, the one by victory, the other
by defeat. There was a scurrying l'or
telephones and a quick spreading ol'
the information among Democratic
leaders. It was a regular meeting,
and almost the entire night had been
consumed in preparing for the May
primary. There was no Intention to
indorse anyone, but toward the close
of the meeting the committeemen
were surprised to hear a motion of
fered to have the city committee in
dorse McCormick's candidacy."
Harrisburgers were much interested
yesterday by the filing of the nomi
nating petition for Frederick E. Gelser,
member of the last
House from Northamp
ton county, who aspires Goiser Will
to renoininatlon on tho Stand for
Democratic ticket in House Again
his district. Geiser is
well known here be
cause of his activities against dual
office holding, which caused him to be
known as "Pure Pay Roll" Geiser. He
is a Democratic. lawyer in Easton and
feave the Republican members of the
House plenty of bother during the
session. As his renomination is
clnclied, it is likely that he will stand
a good show in Democratic Northamp
ton, and if he should conio back to
the House lie will probably be heard
from considerably on the Democratic
side. In addition to Geiser it is prob
able that Representatives Trach and
Benninger will be candidates again.
Acting promptly upon tho an
nouncement of Senator Penrose that
he would be a candidate for re-elec
tion, a number of
men prominently
Committee identified with the
Will Boost manufacturing and
Penrose Hard business interests of
the State, organized
the Pennsylvania
Protective Union yesterday. This new
organization, it was stated, will help
the campaign along vigorously. Head
quarters for this body have been ready
for some time, with furniture and full
office equipment at Philadelphia, and
all that was wanting for their opening
was word from the Senator that he
was ready to take his stand on the
firing line.
At the meeting held yesterday aft
ernoon James Dobson was elected
president: Charlemagne Tower, Na
than T. Folwell, William M. Coates,
John Pitcairn, Robert Dornan and J.
H. Schwacke, vice-presidents, and ex-
Collector of the Port Chester W. Hill,
secretary. The executive committee
will include well-known men. The
Senator will speak to-morrow in Phila
delphia and visit the western counties
later on.
