WILSON'S PLANS
PRESIDENT WILSON and the
Democratic leaders in Congress
are nearing the point where
there Is likely to be a breaking
down of the surface harmony which
now prevails at Washington. Repre
sentative Oscar W. Underwood, whose
name will always be associated with
the free trade tariff law that has sent
the prosperity of the United States
upon the rocks, declares in a letter
to the Philadelphia Public Ledger that
Congress cannot adjourn until the ap
propriation bills are passed. He
states as his own view of the situa
tion, however, that these bills should
be expedited and that Congress should
then adjourn "as soon as possible and
nllow the members to go to their dis
tricts and return here (Washington)
In November and take up pending leg
islation at that time."
Mr. Underwood, as chairman of the
committee on ways and means and the
Senator-elect from Alabama, thus
places himself In direct opposition to
the policy of President Wilson, who
wants to jam through a lot more un
digested and theoretical legislation di
rected against the business of the
country before adjournment. It Is the
opinion of Representative Underwood
that the course he proposes would be
«.dvls&ble "as most of the members of
Congress are worn out with the long
session and strenuous work of more
than a year." He adds:
It would give the Senate commit
tee ample time to consider and di
gest the pending trust legislation
and an adjournment now would, I
believe, expedite t lie passage of
good legislation along that line
lather than hinder it.
But what Underwood and the other
Democratic leaders may think will cut
no figure with the gentleman In the
White House. He is the incarnate
wisdom of the ages and opposition
from any source, even of his own
party, simply stimulates in him the
ever-present thought that the opposi
tion Is simply conspiracy against him
and contrary to all the rules of tho
game as he sees it.
It is clearly the purpose of the
President to compel the members of
Congress who have subserviently done
his bidding from the start to remain
In Washington until he shall have ac
complished his alleged program. It
will not do for the members to go
home; they might hear from their
constituents and come back with more
red blood in their veins and more
stiffening in their back bones. Never
before In the history of the United
States have there been so many mere
puppets assembled under the dome of
the Capitol. They Jump when the
President says jump and they sneeze
when he takes snuff.
As suggested by one of the clearest
headed newspapermen in Washington,
the President "wants to get through
with the whole job of reforming the
country once and is so intent upon
his work that he does not count the
cost to himself or his party, nor
reckon with the ill effects upon the
business interests of the country,
which, in his opinion, can be only tem
porary."
We are passing through a joyful
era and the theorist and demagogue
and the opportunist are In the saddle,
but November is not far away and the
people know now what is the matter
•with the country.
PLATFORMS AND CANDIDATES
UNDER the present primary sys
tem in this State platform dec
larations are more academic,
than practical as pronounce
ments of individuals and parties. In
fact, platforms are no longer given
the serious consideration which was
once accorded party statements.
President Wilson is the most con-
eplcuous violator of platform planks.
, Other eminent officeholders have like
wise discarded the planks of the party
or parties which have supported them,
but no recent example of this sort
has been quite so flagrant as that of
the President in the matter of the
Panama Canal tolls and the woman
eultrage question.
Owing to the fact that candidates
are now nominated in Pennsylvania by
the peopl direct for all important
offices their personalities and fit
ness for the discharge of the duties
of the offices which they seek cut more

figure than r.mounding phrases incor
porated in alleged platforms and party
affirmations.
However, whatever the party action,
it should have some regard for con
sistency and sincerity.
Just now there Is considerable hul
labaloo about what Is to be done In
the framing of a platform for the Re
publican party in this State. The
whole matter has been referred to a
committee with sufficient experience
in public life to gl% r e due consideration
to the matters and things which should
be covered in a formal party declara
tion. But this committee is now seek
ing advice as to whether its conclu
sions on the various Issues of the day
should be promulgated early in July
or late in August. There ought to be
little doubt on this point. While it
makes comparatively little difference
whether it is sent forth on its mis
sion at one time or another, so far
as the average voter is concerned, any
apparent hesitation on the part of
Republican leaders to give the public
the r atform which they are incubat
ing will probably be grasped by the
opposition and used as an evidence of
party indecision and fear to meet the
alleged issues of the campaign.
Of course, in the present hysterical
jumble of what some of the people
believe to be important questions, it is
an easy matter to color party action
to suit the vision of those who would
twist public statements and interpret
the language of platforms to meet their
own views. It still remains, however,
that whatever the Republican party is
going to issue as a> concrete expression
of party principles might Just as well
go out without unnecessary delay.
Already a most unfair and unrea
sonable position has been taken by one
of the officials of the State Anti-
Saloon League. He declares that It Is
unsafe to elect Dr. Brumbaugh gov
ernor on the same ticket with Mayor
Frank McClain, of Lancaster, who as
lieutenant-governor and president ex
officlo of the State" Senate might be
opposed to the measure which the
league would support; that while "we
believe and have utmost confidence
in Dr. Brumbaugh as a man" and "be
lieve him to be in hearty sympathy
with that (local option) movement and
to be honestly in favor of it so far as
his personal influence is concerned,"
yet if McClain should be elected lieu
tenant-governor on the same ticket
with Dr. Brumbaugh the local option
cause would suffer. In short, Dr.
Brumbaugh should be defeated be
cause the people in an open primary
nominated Mayor McClain on the
same ticket.
If tho gentlemen who are conduct
ing the fight for local option are as
illogical and unfair in all their propa
ganda as in this particular instance,
then it would seem to be about time
for the real friends of local option to
consider whether a little common
•sense should not be injected into those
at the head of the league.
It is well, porhaps, for hl3 own
reputation that the responsible offi
cial of the Anti-Saloon League con
cludes "that it is too early to express
any unchangeable opinion." Might it
not have been better for the cause
he represents and which this newspa
per favors, for the official in question
to have reserved his comment, espe
cially as he says he believes "In Dr.
Brumbaugh's integrity," and who rep
resents, as he admits, "the highest
type of manhood and citizenship in
this Commonwealth." He has not
heard even a rumor of a thing against
his character, honesty and integrity.
Nor does the official of the league who
has indulged in this remarkable bit of
inconsistency "question the honesty"
of Dr. Brumbaugh's statement that
"he would use every honest effort to
secure the passage of a county option
bill," but "believes him to be in hearty
sympathy with that movement and to
be honestly in favor of it so far as
his personal influence is concerned."
Having taken the absurd position
that Dr. Brumbaugh is not safe be
cause certain other candidates have
been nominated on the same ticket
and that the thing to do is for the
Democratic and Washington parties to
enter into a fusion scheme, the lame
conclusion is reached by the league
official that "it is too early to express
any unchangeable opinion."
It ought to be apparent to our local
option friends that all the nominees
for governor, including Dr. Brum
baugh, having declared in favor of the
proposition to submit the whole mat
ter to the people, it is their business to
elect a Senate and House which will
pass the bill, instead of alienating
those who advocate Its passage by un
fair and covert attacks upon the Re
publican party. This is not a parti
san question and ought not to be made
one at this late day.
TIIE STOUGII CAMPAIGN
THE coming visit of Evangelist
Stough and his party casts its
shadow before. As the time
draws each day nearer the
shadow looms larger, and already it is
discernible as that of a big man, and
one who is destined to wield consider
able Influence in Harrisburg. What
ever be the attitude of either the
church-going laity or the clergy in re
gard to such evangelistic campaigns, it
must be admitted that the personality
of Dr. Stoufeh and of every member of
his party is exceptional. Several of
them are businessmen of wide experi
ence who have given up lucrative em
ployment or commercial affairs of
some magnitude in order to enter on
this crusade to reach the common
people.
That is primarily the purpose of the
campaign—to reach the "man in the
street." This mystical person is, like
the "man about town" and the "aver
ago man," an illusive quantity—but he
nevertheless exists in numbers, even
if it is not possible to lay one's finger
on him.
It is admitted that the church does
not reach him, largely because the
church does not talk to him In his own
language. Such is the seoret of the
success of Stough, Billy Sunday and
other evangelists of that type. They
address the man of the street in £he
language of the street. They are
frankly sensational. They speak In
flaming language that Is sometimes of
a plcturesqueness that would not be
out of place In one of the old-time
Western mining camp dramas. But
they do the work. They sow the seed.
They awaken the sleeping conscience.
It is asserted that conversions based
on emotionalism are not permanent.
Of that we know not. Certainly, how
ever, it is good occasionally to have
our faults drawn to, our attention in
a manner that ma.ces us resolve to
do better.
PA AND HIS DAY
RISE, somebody, and hit on the
head this drivel about Father's
Day. Stand, Spartans, and rout
this squashy sentimentality. The
average father, it is safe to say, wants
no such celebration. The dwty that he
does as a man and as a citizen is suffi
cient praise; and If, when the day's
work is done, Annabel shall bring his
slippers. Ma have the supper ready
and Jimmy show some mark of re
spect, It is sufficient.
By all means let us have celebra
tions; but let us find some better ex
cuse than this. Divide the calendar
into ribboned festivals, but don't drag
father in with a wreath of red and
white roses. He wants it not. On he
half of our fathers we raise a protest
ing hand.
Mothers' Day was a very beautiful
and very appropriate observance, and
it deserves to be perpetuated. But
now to come along with a Father's
Day is a sort of travesty on that.
Father does not want to be gushed
over—at least not in public. The sen
timent he will appreciate are such
little acts as cited above. Let us dis
tinguish between setfment and senti
mentality. Father's Day is Pay Day.
i EVENING CHATI
Veterans and many visitors to the
Capitol rotunda are complaining that
the arrangement of the battle Hags in
the cases in the niches of the marble
rotunda is not such as to enable good
displays to be made of any but the
fiags in the front rows of the six cases.
It is pointed out that the fiags are
bunched in the three rows of stand
ards and that it is almost impossible
to pick out the flags, the labels giving
the names ol' the regiments being hid
den by the staffs and the folds of those
in the front rows. As a matter of
tact, the complaints are well grounded
and there are already being considered
ways and means to make a better dis
play. Nine-tenths of the persons who
visit the rotunda want to see some par
ticular flag, veterans and families of
veterans have a natural interest in a
certain standard, and when they can
not see it, much less identify it, there
is bound to be some criticism. Offi
cials have been wondering how the
matter can be arranged and various
suggestions are being made, one being
that some of the flags be placed in
niches along the great marble stairway
or at the second floor, which is visited
by almost as many people as the first
floor. Unfortunately, the cases for the
flags are expensive and involve much
time and It may be a considerable
lapse of weeks before this could be
done. Something, however, will be
worked out to overcome the objections
now being voiced.
Speaking of the flags recalls the
afiecting: scenes of last Monday when
the veterans saw their flags again.
Last Monday was really a day of inci
dents which will never efface them
selves from the minds of those who
saw them. When the veterans received
their flags in the Museum there were
joyful reunions and men, gray-haired
and tottering, hugged and even kissed
the flags which they had followed in
the Civil War. Along the line of pa
rode many a man had tear-filled eyes
as he saw his standard go by. But the
most affecting scenes of all were whet*
the flags were carried through the
great bronze doorway of the Capitol
with the rays of the setting sun falling
on the silken covers. Those who saw
that sißht will never forget how it
moved their hearts to see the veterans
on their last march with the colors
So that everything would be handled
systematically, the veterans turned
over the flags to a squad of men from
the state arsenal who had been drilled
in the placing of the flags in order.
T. hen the scenes of the Museum were
r u pe i lted " one man stood at.salute as
the flag he had handed over was borne
away, while many wept as they saw
the flags for probably the last time.
One man threw his arms about his flag
as he passed it over and exclaiming,
Good-by, old flag," kissed it and
walked away, the tears running down
his face.
It is remarkable the interest shown
in the event of last week. Ordinarily
such an occasion is soon forgotten in
the stress of life. But people are writ
ing here for newspapers giving ac
counts of the unique ceremonies of tht
day and those who attended have writ
ten here telling of how the folks at
home have shown an eagerness for the
details. The crowd that went to see
the movies of the flag transfer ves
terday indicates how the feelings of
the people were stirred.
When Frank H. Bethell, the presi
dent of the Bell telephone companies
w ? s on the stan <l before
the Public Service Commission in the
rate inquiry a few days ago he im
pressed everyone by his remarkable
grasp of the business and its manifold
details. When he had stated his offi
cial relation to the companies an at
torney took him in hand.
r \.^L etheU * you are President of
the Bell Telephone Company of Penn
sylvania?"
"Yes, sir."
This went on with each of the com.
panies under his charge and then the
lawyer broke out:
"And you get a salary from each of
them?" •
"Why. certainly," said the Bell ex
ecutive with the utmost surprise
It happens that Mr. Bethell is an
executive of recognized pre-eminenc<s
and gets a salary that is away up
that is, when the aggregate is consid
ered.
Tha lawyer evidently thought ho
was gong to turn something up, but
he did not get very far.
The death of William B. Horn
blower, the famous New York lawyer
the other day brings to mind his api
quotation during an address at Dick
inson law school in 1898. The story
was told by a Capitol Hill official yes
terday. It seems that three members
of the class of 1898 were In the Na
tional Guard, which, when commence
ment took place, was in camp at
Mount Gretna awaiting muster Into
the United States service. It was ar
ranged that the three should be grad
uated and that they should sit with
their class. They could not reach Car
lisle until evening, but were told to
go right in no matter what time they
arrived. Now it happened that when
they reached the hall Mr. Hornblower
was speaking. The three soldiers, uni
formed, marched up the aisle and the
audience began to applaud with vigor
Mr. Hornblower paused in his address
to allow the ovation to go on and when
the three had been seated and quiet
reigned he said: "Inter armea legls
silent."

State Boss A Mitchell Palmer, Can

Engineer Roland S. Morris, of the
State machine, will meet In Philadel
phia on Monday to apportion more
slices of federal patronage pie. Those
who have not renewed and reinforced
their applications had better get busy.
The meeting is not announced In the
machine newspapers and when In
formation was asked about it It was
stated that matters pertaining to the
Fall campaign were to be discussed.
As the financing of the Fall cam
paign Is a very simple matter with
McCormlck as a candidate, only pat
ronage remains to be discussed.
Yesterday it was announced tha*
Robert M. Foster, former legislator,
had been given the post office at State
College; M. E. Brown, once candidate
for State Treasurer and lately a re
organlzer, the Blalrsvllle office; John
A. Stief, well known in Schuylkill af

Hartman, reorganization shouter, the
place at Bentleyville, Washington
county; B. N. Defrance, one of the
Mercer machine men, Ellwood City,
and B. W. McCracken, prominent in
Democratic factional fights, the job at
Mehaffey, In Clearfield county. Con
gressman Palmer finally put over the
appointment of Charley Knecht for
Nazareth. Each one of these appoint
ments means some sore Democratic
patriots.
There are some federal jobs around
here hanging fire and Herr Moeslein
and President-Chairman Jones will
submit a list of eliglbles to the Little
Boss.
Dean William Draper Lewis yester
day resigned as dean of the law school
of the University of Pennsylvania so
that he can devote all of
his time to the strenu-
osltles of the campuign, l.nvis Gets
which, owing to the Ready for
Colonel's larynx and the Hard Work
idiosyncracies of the
Plnchot brothers, is go
ing to be very severe on him. The
dean plans a short rest and will then
undertake his speaking tour. He in
tends to speak here and to devote some
time to western counties after the
Progressive conference at Pittsburgh
on June 30.
When asked regarding the propo
sition to postpone the meeting of the
Republican State committee until Au
gust 2G Senator Penrose
yesterday said:
Penrose "I was not consulted in
Talks On the matter, but possibly a
Campaign deferring of the framing
of the platform until the
latter part of August may
be a good Idea. The campaign will
not open before September 1, although
the Republican party organization
through the State will be busy mean
while preparing for the contest in ar
ranging for the qualification of the
voters and In other ways actively lin
ing up tho forces In the various
counties.
"It would appear that the State
committee intends that the party plat
form shall be the result of careful
thought and an exchange of views of
representative Republicans of the en
tire State. As far as I can learn there
has been no agreement upon any par
ticular plank, nor will there be until
the subcommittee of which former
Lieutenant-Governor Walter Lyon is
chairman shall submit its report to
the general committee.
'At Sunbury yesterday, where there
was probably the largest crowd that
has assembled there In recent years, 1
heard on every hand predictions of a
sweeping Republican victory in the
Fall. Many Democrats are publicly
announcing their determination to vote
tho Republican ticket, as they are sick
and tired of tho Wilson-Palmer free
trade tactics and the disastrous indus
trial and business depression resulting
therefrom."
Gilford Pinchot, who is campaigning
In Philadelphia, refuses to believe that
the Colonel will not make speeches in
this State and declares
he will talk in Pitts-
burgh and throughout G. Pinchot
the campaign. In Phila- Will Not Be
delphia yesterday Mr. Comforted
Pinchot upheld the con
tention of his brother.
Amos Pinchot, that the Progressives
of New York should drop George W.
Perkins.
"My brother is right," declared Mr.
Pinchot. "I am in hearty agreement
with his desire that the Progressive
party should be free from the burden
of Perkins' chairmanship. Perkins has
had and will have nothing whatever
to do with my fight against Penrose in
Pennsylvania. In general the people
of our State appear to take little in
terest in Perkins."
There is fun ahead in the Diffen
derfer-Grim congressional nomination
row and Bucks Democrats are up in
the air. At Doylestown
yesterday Judge Kvan
Democrats made an order directing
Warring in the county commissioners
Old Bucks to open the ballot box of
Trumbauersville on June
29 and recount the votes
cast by members of the Democratic
party for the nomination of repre
sentative in Congress. Signers of the
Trumbauersville petition allege that at
least three men not enrolled as mem
bers of the Democratic party in that
district were allowed to vote. It is
alleged by the Diffenderfer supporters
that the election generally in upper
Bucks county was conducted in a loose
manner. It is alleged that no fewer
than twenty Democrats voted in Sel
lersville who were not entitled under
the law.
Senator Grim, however, smiles over
the situation and says he knows a dis
trict where ten votes were cast with
out authority and that his brother
Harry only received six votes in the
whole district, so that not all the
illegal votes could have been cast for
him, but that DlfTenderfer also must
have aome.
