IS HE PnesIpgNr oR PAPAY

Is HE PRESIDENT OR PAPAf
The friends Of President Harrison
deny that he is open to the charge of
usurpation Of power made in con-
nection with bis hssty admission
of Montana Immediately after the
Presidents course in regard to
Malone in Virginia on the plea that
he did not know Mahone's character, and
taking into consideration Russell Har-
risons interest in having Republican
judges in Montana and the Presidents
inclination to and practice Of gratifying
Russell in making appointments,
this denial is not sufficient
The facts in the case bear too strongly
the other way. Russell Harrison is seek
ting to control the patronage of Montana
He is candidate for Senator. If the
disputed, election returns are received
the Legislature win be Democratic and
Russell Harrison cannot be candidate
Delay in receiving the credentials Of the
state, or even worse than that, if there is
not great haste in accepting the creden-
tials Of the state and great haste in issu.
ing the proclamation, Republican success
and Russell Harrison's chances would be
in jeopardy. The President made great
haste. He could not await the meeting of
the Cabinet. When the Cabinet met two
members deprecated the action and now
the Presidents friends are ION the de-
fensive." They say that upon the in
formation furnished him by the Attor
ney General he was bound by the terms
Of the enabling act TO issue his procla
nation. It was only necessary, they
say, for him to have the certificate that
the Constitution had been adopted, the
form Of government being republican.
It IS evident, however, that something
more was made necessary to the admis.
sion Of the state. The paragraph In sec
tion Of the enabling act is as follows:
And if the constitution and govern
ment Of said proposed states are republi-
can in form, and if all the provisions of
this act have been COMPLIED with in the
form thereof, it shall be the duty Of the
President to issue his proclamation an
uOuuCluB tue Lhsuib oi tub titcblbn IN
each, and thereupon the proposed
states, which have adopted constitutions
aud formed state governments as herein
provided shall be deemed admitted by
Congress in the Union.
The President issued his proclamation
while the Supreme Court was considering
the disputed case Of Silver Bow precinct.
That alone should have made the Presi-
dent defer his action. But when the in.
terest of his party and the interest Of his
son were involved he should have had the
grace and the courtesy to have awaited a |
meeting Of the Cabinet and asked them
to relieve him Of the whole burden Of |
action in which he had such direct in
terest. Does the action Of the President |
In this matter show what kind Of man

The Republican party, always eager to
protect home industry and especially the
labor OF coupon clipping, promptly re-.
pealed the income tax soon after the war
and left the burden Of our debts expenses
and pensions resting on the 'mudsills'
Of society. The incomes thus protected
have since fallen into the very bad habit
Of going to Europe to be expended But
the Republican party could not be in
duced to keep part of these incomes at
hon by means Of an income tax. Like
the whiskey tax, an income tax would
help to enlighten the taxation which alb
serbs much Of the purchasing power of
the laboring mans wages, and the Re.
publican doctrine is that such absorption
Is protection to labor.

You are of course deeply in
terested in the visit of the In
ternational American Congress
to our city.
This country is striving to
show our fellow Americans the
greatness of its industrial, agri-
cultural, and mineral resources.
Doubtless our visitors eyes are
strained with gazing at our big
ness, and their ears deafened a
little by the loud screams of
the American Eagle.
But they are teaching us that
America is bigger than these
United States, and that
the nations to the south are, as
Americans, our equals. There
fore this American unity is
something to be pleased with,
and out of it we may hope will
grow comfy, fraternity, and
commerce.
1t rests upon Philadelphia to
crown the tour with happy ex-
periences for our Nations
guests. We accept 0ar share
of the responsibility. We
have ideas to illustrate, things
to show. Here are some Of
them:
FaySt-The relation of the
Retail Merchant to the
business system of the
period.
See0na-The applied Science
of Retailing.
Third-The possibility of a
great Retailing House sup
plying amusement, inspira-
ton, convenience, and
some degree of culture
to the community.
What we have done for
Philadelphia may be done in
some degree in every prosper
Gus city everywhere. Is not
this house a good object lesson2
Are not these worthy lessons
to teach2
We are striving to make
things pleasant for the city's
guests. The store is bright
with goods and decorations,
chrysanthemums and palms, all
in beautiful harmony.
The Chestnut street entrance
and the Transept are gay with
the ensigns of all the Nations
represented. They are:
Argentine Republic
Bolivia
Brazil
Chill
United States of Columbia
Costa Rica
Ecuador
Guatemala
Mexico
Honduras
Nicaragua
Peru
Salvador
Uruguay
Venezuela
United States Of America
All through the store goods
made in this country have
been brought forward, and
more especially goods made
in Philadelphia. The variety
of local products will surprise
-astonish you.
The special features of in
tereSt are:
The Main Chestnut Street
Entrance with display of rare
goods in cases, various Ma
tional colors and enSignS,
The Centre Aisle with Amer
ican Dress Goods, Sewing
Silks, and other things dis
