WHEN the Governor, says the Phlia-
delphia Herald issued his proclamation
calling an extra session OF the Senate to
investigate the charges against the state
Treasurer and the Auditor General the
Republican papers at once proclaimed IT
an effort 10 make pofcical capital a
strong and united effort was made to
decry the extra session las upcalled for
and to arrange for policy of obstruc-
ton. But when II was found that pub
lie sentiment was strongly With the Gov
ernor the policy OF obstruction was
abandoned, and for it was substituted a
united effort 10 make it appear that the
charges preferred by the Governor had
not been substantiated-
The case against State Treasurer Boy
er has been closed. All the evidence is
in. and despite the Republican efforts
to belittle it, the testimony has disclosed
that Mr.. Boyer's recklessness and de-
sire TO favor Bardsley in direct violation
of the laws is responsible for the loss OF
1920. 600. 1t has also been disclosed
that the law which compels County
Treasurers to make quarterly returns IS
not enforced, and that Livsey and not
Boyer was the practical boss of the State
Treasury.
The Governor did not charge Mr..
Boyer with personal dishonesty. All
the charges advanced have been substan-
tiated by Mr.. Boyer's own testimony.
The latter has admitted that he know
ingly and purposly violated the law.
Even his warmest supporters will not
dare to claim that he has not been in
different and careless. Instead of trying
to live up to the law he has shown a
studied effort to disregard it. All that
the Governor has advanced against the
State Treasurer he has confessed to.
This alone justifies the extra session, and
although both the State Treasurer and
the Auditor General may be white
washed by a Republican Senate, the
people will heartily support the Govern
or in his effort to break up the reckless
and pernicious system which has so long
prevailed in both departments.

the headquarters of the Dealers Protec-

to merchants throughout the State. 1t
calls on them to support the Republican
candidates because they represent the
party that favors the repeal of the mer-
camille tax laws. The fact of the mat
ter is Governor Pattison in two messages
to the Republican legislature of 1885 and
1887 declared for the repeal of these
laws, but his suggestions were entirely
ignored.

THERE IL no doubt about the money
being stolen from the state treasury,
but Boyer and..McCamant expect to get off
from their responsibility on the plea of

When it becomes custom" to hold

people seems to be that the Constitution
al convention, if held, would be costly
affair while its capacity for doing good

Its observance, but as long as Boss Quay
rules the roost there is not much likeli-

heavy gales, continue to do great
amount of damage. The river Thames,
for instance, in some places extends for
mile or so beyond its banks The
town of Eton and many of the streets of

Street Railway Veto.

In another column can be found the com
munication of the Mayor, yetoing the street
railway franchise. 1t is worthy of careful
study, not merely because it is an able
statement of the case from the Mayors
standpoint, but also because the whole
matter is one of vital interest to the city. II
we are to have railway it should be con-
'structed under such regulations and restric-
tons as will serve the city's welfare in the
future as well as in the present.
We believe that there is little opposition
? on the part of our citizens to the railway,
:. providing the charter of the road secures to
the city all the rights and privileges that can
bs fairly asked. 1t will be noticed that the
Mayor does not veto the ordinance by reason
.sof opposition to the railroad itself, but by
reason of the anam0lous condition of grant
ing franchise to corporation not yet incor-
porated. The legal status of the question
we leave to the lawyers.
Hasty legislation has involved Detroit in
an almost perpetual controversy with their
street railway company. The company is
able to control the streets, provide slow
transportation, own the common council
and at the same time escape taxation. A
franchise hastily enacted was the cause.
Have such contingencies as these been pro-
syided for, viz: Are the shops and principal
: terminus of the road to be located in this
city; has the city right to designate the
means of propulsion-whether horse, cleo
trio or motor cars shall be ussd; does the
company pay percentage of income, or
tax on cost value of plant; does the increase
of business inure to the city or the company
solely, ETC., etc.?

of sufficient evidence to demand the pay
ment Of government tax, which never
fail to do, when the opportunity is presented.
The Governor and two of his staff made
some objections to paying, but soon accepted
the situation, and payment Of the U. s. tax
was arranged for, and paid. Now let the
state authorities do their duty as well, and

Perhaps the most important event, so far,
of the present year in this country, was the
dedication of the Bennington monument
and the centennial celebration of the admis-
sion of Vermont to the sisterhood of states,
which occurred on the old battle ground, on
Wednesday. Vermont was the first added to
the historic thirteen and her admission to
the Union took place soon after the four
teenth anniversary of the battle at Benning-
ton, the first in the series of victories over
the British forces, which eliminated in the
surrender of BurgOyne at Saratoga, October
nth, TIT, and the ultimate triumph of the
American forces, and the independence of
the republic. The occasion was a notable
one in the history of the green mountain
state, and was attended by many thousand
people from distant parts of the country,
including the President, members of the
cabinet, judges, governors, congressman
and prominent officers of the army and
navy, with the West Point cadets as an
escort. Vermont has ever been q bright
star in the national galaxy and her people
well deserved the congratulations they re-
ceiyed on the rounding out of a century of
statehood.

The uroeres.ive educational spirit of this

The progressive educational spirit of this
age is perhaps best represented by the vast
extent of the work now being done at Chau-
tauqua and through its influences which
have eliminated In the home education of
the thousands who are yearly receiving its
diplomas. vast numbers of whom have never
seen the shores of that beautiful lake, esti-
mated at between $4,000 and 10000 the cur
rent year, and furnishes most impressive
illustration of what Chautauqua is is doing
for the enlightenment, the elevation and
the broadening of the people of the whole
nation, perhaps we should say OF the whole
human race.

1t is fact worth remembering that in
the good old times, under the tariff for
revenue only, and which tariff had then
been in force thirteen years, that in 1859 the
daily wages of weaver would only buy So
yards of Standard shifting, but in 1887
when the Morrill, protective tariff had been
in force 20 years, the daily wages Of
the weaver would buy 1879 yards of exactly
similar goods, and today under the McKin-
ley bill, the same days work will pay for
20.1 yards, ON the standard of wages paid
in each OF these periods by the Merrimac
