THE SOUTH PENN,s OWNERS,

The confirmation of THE DIsPATCH's ex-
elusive news as to the seizure and manipula-
tion of the South Penn Railroad by the
Pennsylvania Railroad comes from various
quarters. In Philadelphia one OF the Off
GERS OF the latter railroad has stated without
reserve that the Pennsylvania has possession
of the South Penn, although it has no desire
to operate it until it "is out of the courts, 4"
whenever that shall be. But still stronger
affirmation of the statements already made
In these columns comes from New
York. A gentleman who is in the
counsels of the Vanderbilts makes no
secret of their intention to complete
the South Penn for the specific purpose of
turning it over when completed to the Penn
sylvsuia Railroad. That is to say the
latter corporation, under the cover of
sham directorate constructed to suggest the
dominance of the Vanderbilt and Reading
Railroad interests, is about to build the
South Penn Railroad for its own use. Fur
ther comment on these facts is unnecessary.
The public can draw its own conclusions as
to how much respect for the laws and Con-
stitution of this State this proceeding shows.

Byron and His Immortal Work.

merit given by Mr.. Leon H. Vincent, who
displayed originality and tact in the treatment
of his subject. His '.His Battle of Waterloo"
last to cantos of 'Childe Harold" "Apostrophe
to the Ocean, and "Poem Upon the Roman
Pantheon are sublime. Byron, though bad
enough, was maliIned and abused as no man
has ever been. His immortal poems were re-
ceived with enthusiasm, but he was afterward
universally hissed. Few men have played as
many-sided role as Byron. Byron's work
In freeing Greece was the final act of his life.
He was brave and persistent, and showed good
sense in conducting affairs in that country,
but utterly reckless of the care of his own
body. Recklessness and dissipation caused
his death in 1923
1t was truly said that Greece trembled at the
shock when Byron died. Westminster Abbey
refused his body 1t was carried to the church
OF Hucknell and there buried. Byron was
great poet, but there is no poet of the century
whose loss could be so easily borne. Read
Byron and wonder at his brilliant genius. but

AGITAToRs AND IGNORANCE.

The New York papers are at present en-
gagged in enlarging upon the ignorance and
yiciousness of the cloakmakers recently en-
slavish obedience to orders of their leader
Barondess. There is no doubt that they are,
as rnle, an ignorant class, with little COM
prehension of the rights of citizenship; and
their fulfllment of their leaders orders is a
remarkable commentary on the class of
people that are crowded in our cities.
Nevertheless, as the result Of Barondess'
leadership was to secure them an advance
of wages, it may be a reasonable inference
that their abject loyalty to his rule was not
the most striking display of their ignor-
anoe.
But the fact being admitted, it becomes
vital question who irresponsible both for the
abject condition of these workingmen and
for heirldiscovery that it is for their inter-
est to be the slaves of a demagogic and
exotic sgitator of an utterly foreign stamp
rather than the slaves of the manufactur-
ers? We have here an industry in which
it is notoriously the fact that the wages
were insufficient to support life even in city
slums and garrets. Nothing but the most
abject poverty can exist where such wages
are paid; nothing but abject ignorance will
accept such conditions of life without an
effort to throw them of. If the effort is
blind and stupid, is it not the result of the
system which establishes industries on
plan that makes blindness and stupidity
essential characteristics of the laborer?
One commentary on the affair says that
when Barondess fully demonstrates his
power, he will be plscsted with q city Office
and lose his dangerous qualities. II he
does SO he will also lose his power over his
followers, who will transfer their allegiance
to some other agitator. Aslong as ignorant
and ill-paid laborers can see q hope of bet
tering their condition by fealty to the agi-
tators, they will yield that allegiance. Per
contra, when it is made clearly their best
interest to give their loyalty to their en-
ployers, the agitators' function will be
ended. Until that time it can hardly be
affirmed with absolute certainty that the
agitator, even of the Barondess stamp, has
not his positive value in the social system.

AT N0RvIN GREENS SUGGESTION
An Important Proviso is Stricken from the
Postal Telegraph Bill.

POstHl Telegraph BILL
WASHINGTON. July 2.-At the meeting Of
the Senate Committe on Postoftices and Post
roads to-day, the postal telegraph bill prepared
at the Postofice Department, was again con-
sidered. The proviso to the eleventh section
was stricken out. 1t reads as follows:
provided, however. that It shall not be law
full for the contracting telegraph company or
companies during the term of any contract pro-
vided for therein, to engage directly, or indi-
rectly in the sale of press reports, election re-
ports, market quotations or general news, or be
interested in the sale Of such reports quota
tions or news. by reason of the owner
ship as q company or stock, bonds,
or securities. or by or through any
contract or arrangement with any individual,
firm, company or association engaged in such
sale, beyond the service of transmitting such
reports, quotations or news in the form of
kilograms, at rates which shall be uniform to
all who may send such kilograms over the lines
of the said company or companies"
It was asserted by DIR. Green, president of
the Western Union Company, in his argument
before the House committee, that the proviso
recited would operate to shut out his company
from the bidding for the Government business,
and upon this being shown to the committee
to-day it was voted that the proyiso be stricken

A STAB AT THE SOUTH.
such II Governor TayIor's Opinion of the
Force Bill.

Force Bill.
NASHVILLE. July 2s.-To-day, in an inter-
view with an American reporter concerning
the Federal election bill. Governor r. L. Tay-
lor, of Tennessee, said: The force bill Is an
envious stab at the prospering South. There
is no need in any State for legislation that is
designed to foment strife. murder and riot.
Even If it were legitimate and constitutional
legislation there is no need for it in Tennessee.
1t is based on the false assumption that all ne
groes always vote the Republican ticket. If
there Is State where bribery, intimidation
and false counting are resorted to- this bill will
not cure 1t because the people are persuaded
that it is an unconstitutional interference with
the right to elect their own representatives; is
designed to disrupt the peaceful relation of the
races; to clan the negroes and reinaugurate
the atrocities that characterized reconstruc-
ton times; to stem the tide of prosperity and
development that is now sweeping the South
to the front-a reasonable, contemplate,
atrocious. assassinating attempt to perpetuate
Republican rule at the expense of the peace
and prosperity of both the white and black
people Of the South.

1T is satisfactory to observe that while
the boycott lunacy finds food for its growth in
the South, there is such progress of sound,
solid sense that it is rejected by the reason and
judgment of the best people of that section.
The boycott foolishness by its izzle is likely to
be of real value to the South by proving that
1t has become superior to such sectional sllli'
ness.
