Fair Play for the Bosses.

We are so accustomed to abuse OF
politicians from journals processing Il
represent the higher culture and
thought of the day that it comes as i
surprise when one of these journals has
word to saw from another stand
point. The Citizen, published in Phil
ad-!phia, is the organ of the tniver-
SHY Extension movement. and pub
lication al all times worth reading. In
it's December issue it prints thought
ful editorial study of contemporary po-
litical phases, and lays down the sensi-
bile proposition that the so-called ma
chimes" or "oligarchies" which are
nowadays so powerful in politics are
really the victims instead of the op-
pressors Of the people.
I'VE refuse" il continues, ''to take
the niative in making nominations. and
we decline the drudgery that belongs
to running party. Yet, If we want
a protective tariff or are earnest about
having good money, highly organized
and efficient party is Indispensable and
there is much necessary work to be
done. If there is no one to do ii for
love. it naturall:' falls TO those who
see in it an opportunity. When they
undertake the citizens task. which he
cannot be driven 10 perform. is it fair
to cry thief because they want COM
pensation for labor so irksome and so
poorly paid on the whole that il Is
avoided by the shrewd and even by the
good?"
There is an easy remedy when abuses
become unbearable. But it is rarely
called into use. IF, ordinarily" the
Citizen adds, "onlY ten or twelve per
cent of the total number of voters go
to primary elections. and about that
number have some sort of profitable
connection with party. the tempta-
ton must be irresistible for, say, q SEN
ator or contractor with taste for pol
itics to take possession of SO simple a
machine and run 1t for all it is worth.
If we find anything out of the way in
this, We must remember that We made
the situation ourselves"
This has been said before, but it is
none the less true. The singular thing
is that the numerous fault finders do
not appear to remember it..

IDEALS OLD AND NEW,

Tonight beside the lambent blaze
That leaps within my lurid crate,
l dream of Greece-her vanished days.
Her glorious and lost estate:
OF ancient times and scenes remote
Where SapphO sung her songs of love
And echo chimes the softest note
From verdant vale to hills above.
Where Zephyrus for Flora seeks.
In grove and myrtled wilderness.
Beneath the pink, pellucid peaks
Red with ATrora's warm caress.
And where Diana gazed upon
And kissed with sleep the starry eyes
OF her beloved Endymion
Until he dreamed of paradise.
hear ADollo's tuneful harp
Awake Olympian melodies
And then hear sound more sharp
That breaks the rhythmic reveries.
1t thrills Olympus to its base
And makes my Grecian rapture flee
The dream departs and In its place
My baby shrinks upon my knee.

New Liquor Law.


There have been reports from time
to time of intended moves at Harris
burg this winter to amend the Brooks
| law, but we are indebted to a Pittsburg
contemporary for the first detailed OUT
line of the slated" plan. According
to this authority the friends of Senat-
or Quay in the legislature will take
the initiative, and their programme will
be as follows:
A measure will be passed providing
department by the governor. The de-
partment will be somewhat after the
fashion of the pure food commission.
The state commissioner will be empOw-
cred to appoint sufficient number
of deputies to look after the enforce
ment of the excise laws. All the licens-
es will be granted by the commission
and it will have full power to regulate
the sale of all intoxicants. The duties
Of the deputies will be prescribed. too.
They will see that no one without a IL
cense shall sell liquor. Their particu-
lar duties will be to prosecute propri-
etors of speakeasies and disreputa BILE
houses. Quay's friends say that this Is
the only possible manner to subjugate
the social evil and exterminate the
speakeasy. Licenses will be granted to
every one who may have the necessary
fee and can furnish ten good character
Wit This xxtl n,
sible necessity for speakeasies. and the
state and county revenues will be
greatly increased. 1t Is not the spirit
of the repeating bill that any of the
vigor of the Brooks license law shall be
dispensed with. IT is the intention to
keep the liquor traffic as well as ever in
hand, hut the Quayites say they want
the granting of licenses taken out Of
politics. They claim the judges all over
the state are favorable to the excise
measure; that the retail liquor dealers
association has already endorsed this
propositions; and that little opposition
has developed.
We do not know what truth there is
in the assertion that the foregoing pro-
gramme is Quay programme. and SO
far as the merits of the proposition are
concerned II does not matter The
change in our opinion would be advan-
tageous. 1t would strengthen the law
in its weak places and open up no new
dangers provided there is equally faith
full enforcement.
Rev. DIR. Parkhurst's arraignment of
women shoppers for preferring bar
gains" which they must know involve
starvation wages to the makers of the
women either to penury or prostitution
had justice back of It, but he was not
very fortunate in his location of the
blame. If every bargain" were doubled
in price it would not necessarily follow
that wages would rise in proportion.
The sweat shop evil must be reached
by direct state intervention. Society
has right to protect itself against
such sources of evil. When it does this,
the women who shop will gladly bear
their share of the increased cost.
The appointment of Nelson Dingley
as secretary of the treasury is said to
have been decided upon by the presi-
dent-elect. Such choice would prove
eminently satisfactory to the country.
