State League Progress.

One of the expectations Of those who
advocated Major Warren's promotion
to the presidency Of the Pennsylvania
league Of Republican clubs, If not one
of their formal promises, was that his
selection would put an end to the util-
ization of the league organization for
spectacular purposes, rather than for
the serious purposes for which the
league was formed. This expectation
is being fulfilled.
Whenever the league is heard Of, to-
day, in a public manner, 1t is heard
of as an organization that is steadily

enlarging its membership, increasing
the range of its usefulness and not
making unnecessary hullabaloo. The
torch-light captain role is dlscarde in
favor of diligent executive labor and
practical and studious effort; and by
the substitution, if the league has lost
in beautyit has gained in good, horse
sense.
Republicans throughout the state
who are forming campaign clubs will
do well to seek permanent alliance
with the state league; put themselves

The Supreme State Issue.

The Democrats OF Pennsylvania VINO,
for one reason or another, yet cling to
the party of "perfdy and dishonor,"
boiling down all its incongruities and
swallowing all its scandals, continue
to exhibit uneasiness every time Gen.
eral Hastings talks tariff. They af-
ford, by that very fact, a splendid rea-
son why the Republican candidate for
governor should pursue his line Of at
tack until every protection Democrat
is smoked out of his hole and carried
bodily over to the camp where he be-
longs. Mr.. Singerly has called snch
Democrats "frauds," and the classif-
cation of "frauds" is of wholesome
benefit to the community-even of
political frauds"
General Hastings put the case none
too strongly at Pittsburg when he said
"The new tariff law Is sectional and
therefore un-American. The South
was in command and protected itself:
1t imposed duty of 80 per cent on
rice and took protection from wool; it
placed a duty on peanuts and removed
the duty from lumber. Pennsylvania
had no voice or vote that was potent
for her own interests. Her great in
dustries and energies and workshops.
people and homes, cities and towns,
mines and mills and furnaces did not
receive as much consideration as
southern peanuts; and this when, ac-
according to the census Of 1890, the
total Of the manufacturing products of
the entire south, including Virginia,
West Virginia, Kentucky, Florida and
the two Carolinas and Maryland added
all together, fall more than $l2s, ,0OO,O 900
short Of the manufactured products of
the state of Pennsylvania. Let Penn
sylvania by her vote rise in her might
and demand that no un-American dis
elimination shall strike down her i'm
perial interests and energies"
1t is the duty of every American,
whether resident in Pennsylvania or
not, to vote against policy which
would invite foreign nations to profit
at our expense. But it is especially
the duty of Pennsylvania to indicate,
at the ballot box, their unalterable and
practically unanimous opposition to
the spoliation of Pennsylvania indus

gogues and chevaliers. Nothing that
q governor could do would beImore ap-
propriate and more clearly in the line Of
his highest duty than toprotest, with all
emphasis, against the wanton crippline
of Pennsylvania, by political adventur
ers clothed in the dangerous garb of 9
little brief authority; and in making
such a protest In advance of his cleo
tion, General Hastings gives the peo-
pie Of his imperilled state a chance
to 'Join in the chorus"

Give All q Chance.

There is world of wisdom in the
advice which Abraham Lincoln,
quoted Saturday by General Harrison,
once gave to a delegation of working
men: "If another man has a house
and you haven't any, don't pull down
the other mans house, but build one
for yourself" 1t is the proud boast of
America that here, of all places in the
world, the houseless man may, If he
wish. own a home of his own. The
government, to be sure, does not make
every citizen the present of palace.
But it does present to every honest
citizen an honest chance. Some gov
ernments don't do this. No other gov
ernment; no other civilization, makes
its chance so big and so absolutely free
as does our own.
The question before the people today
is whether or not this chance shall be
abridged. 1t may not be the purpose,
but if results mean anything it has
been the achievement of the Demo-
cratic party to abridge that chance.
When it came into power, it is true,
there were some honest men who
seemed to have very poor chance.
There always are, always have been,
and, until paradise is realized on earth,
always will be such unfortunates. But
the Democratic party was not content
with this small percentage. 1t imme-
dlately set to work to increase it. We
dare say it meant to do just the oppo-
site. One finds it impossible to believe
that a body of Americans enrolling
nearly one-half our population would
wish to work deliberate harm either to
themselves or to their fellow-citizens.
The Democratic masses were honest in
their opinions and honest IN their
votes. The trouble was that they We're
not wise in their beliefs nor honest in
their leadership. These leaders were
unfit to lead. Their lead was q lead to
misfortune; a lead to stagnation: lead
to individual loss and to national hu.
initiation.
Looking back over the past two
years OF Democratic experiment we
perceive that the chance which is every
American citizens birthright has been
very materially abridged. If the Re.
publican party was responsible for the
industrial misfortunes of our citizen.
ship prior to 1924 charge which has
been made by every Democratic orator,
by every Democratic newspaper since
reconstruction days-then the Demo
cratic party, by Its own standard Of
criticism, must be directly charged
with the responsibility for the incon.
ceivably more painful and more gen
eral misfortunes of the people of this
country during the time that theil
governmental affairs have been in its
inexperienced and incompetent keep
ing. Itmust stand or fall by the same
gauge of fitness that it insisted should
be used, two years ago, when Repub-
lican administration reported progres:
to its constituents.
There never was in an history, {
permanently successful building up O
one mans house by the tearing dowr
of anothers. If we, in America, with
all our advantages, cannot do bettel
for our people than to pull them dowr
to the economic level of continenta
Europe, what is America for? Wha
does America mean?

THEATRICAL MANAGERS of the city
are just now slightly worried over an
ordinance that has passed one reading
in the common council, which if it be-
comes law will close every house of
amusement in Scranton. The ordi.
nance would impose tax of
SIS upon each theater for every per-
formance given in the house in addi.
ton to the heavy licenses that are al
ready necessary in order that one NAV
engage in the show business. AS our
councilmen as usually so liberal in the
way of granting railroad franchises
privileges that will allow Tom, Dick
or Harry to tear up the streets of the
city, obstruct sidewalks and endanger
life and property, this war upon tho
play houses at time when business
at the best is not very encouraging, is
rather puzzling. 1t is doubtful if
enough councilmen can be rallied to
the support of such measure t. pass
it and theatrical people are recon-
mended to not lose any sleep over the
threatened catastrophe.
