Where Reform rlust Begin.

Apropos of the agitation for the pop
ular election of United states senators
the Philadelphia Record makes the
suggestion that the constitution be so
amended as to give to each state the
right to choose it's senators in its own
way This. if we mistake not, is a
new idea and it would have the ad-
vantage of leaving a door open to es-
cape in case the radical plan of a
popular election amendment should in
operation result unsatisfactory.
The trouble with the sentiment for
direct election is that it lacks discrim-
ination. 1t perceives that there are
gross scandals attending the present
method of choosing senators but 1t falls
TO see that direct election would in all
probability leave those scandals or sim
liar ones uncured. SO long as the party
primaries are run by professionals or
so befogged by hocus-pocus that the
honest voter is frightened out of his
rights. it will matter little whether
senators are elected by Doodle legisla-
lures or put in the way of election by
purchased nominations at Sldle COllNS Gil
tions. The moral difference between
the two systems is not more than the
difference between tweedle dun and
tweedle dee. In other words, so long
as the good citizen shirks or neglects
his civic duty the results in our pol
itics will be unsatsfa actory, whether
this System" or that System" this
reform" or that reform" be nomin-
ally entered upon the statute books.
The only argument in favor of pop
ular election which impresses us as
valid is that it would take out of our
state legislatures a disturbing factor.
Men chosen to make the laws of the
state ought not to be asked to wallow
through the distractions of a heated
senatorial campaign, which usually
leaves them with their usefulness to
the people shriveled up. On the other
hand, if fit men were chosen as state
legislators, this would not need to be
So the argument is as broad as it is
long; and no matter which side we
take, we are brought face to face with
the foundation fact that it is not sc
| much the method as it is the man that
| needs reformation. You can change
| the direction of the outflow, but you
cannot make the political fountain rise
higher than its source.

estimation of some, but not OF all men,
is not only high, but an impracticable
Ideal. Tolerance Is demanded Of one
sex which is not extended to the other.
But what is said of the young man, upon
the eve of marriage, may with equal
truth and force be said of all men, mar
ried or single, throughout their lives.
our laws are founded upon the presump-
tion Of chastity among men as well as
women. They affix n penalty to the vio-
lation of 1t. They institute no discrimi-
nation between the sexes but In effect
declare that it is as vicious and dis
reputable for men as for women to be
false to the great underlying law OF So
cial purity. In this matter as in other
ethical considerations the standard can
not be placed too high or be too clearly
or positively defined. For all who are
guilty of violation of 1t, but not for
one sex more than for the other, that
charity which 'suffereth long and is
kind may be exercised when the condi-
tions and circumstances call for 1t, but
II is cowardly and mean as well as un-
just to permit 1t to cover multitude of
sins in one case and leave the culprit in
another exposed to scorn, shame and
legal penalty.

THE GOSPEL OF COMMON SENSE


From a Letter by James Russell Lowell
The longer l live the more am I con-
WINGED that the world must be healed by
degrees. I see why Jesus came eating
meat and drinking wine and keeping
company with publicans and sinners.
He preached the highest doctrine, but
He lived the life of men. And was it
not in order that His personality might
be bridge between their lower natures
and His higher ideas? Let us SOW the
best seed We have, and convert other
men by our crops, not by drubbing them
with our hoes, or putting them under
our harrows. Above all, let us not
preach about the bright side of human
nature and look always at the dark.
Heaven help us! We all revolve around
God with larger or less orbits, but we
all likewise turn upon our own axes. and
sometimes one-half of us is in the light
sometimes the other. I have felt as If
were all black sometimes, but it was
only because my diseased consciousness
had absconded into my aesthetic hem

History Repeating Itself.

Reports from ulllerent sections OF the
state continue to indicate that the
tactics by which the nomination of
George Wallace Delamater was forced
upon the Republicans of Pennsylvania
eight years ago. chiefly through the
work and counsel of William H. An
drews, are being repeated with little
difference or variation, by the same
agent or agencies, and we have no
doubt for similar purpose.
At the time of the memorable state
convention of $780, there was among
the Republican masses no particular
| ly. Subsequent revelations as to his
weak character in business dealings
We're then known only to a few. The
| opposition to him arose solely out of
disreputable methods and influences
surrounding his candidacy, and, so far
as it was personal at all, was person
al rather against Delamater's manager
| than against Delamater himself.
| In this as in other respects, history
is repeating itself with notable accur-
acy. The man whom Senator Andrews
has picked out as his victim this time
| is . much stronger man than ever
| George Wallace Delamater was. He is
a man who, on his own footing and in
contest devoid of unfair features.
would be likely to win a fair measure
of popular sympathy and respect. He
has had much larger experience in
public affairs than Delamater had. He
has performed services for his country
on battle fields and in congress which
ertitle him TO the personal good will
of his fellow citizens generally, with
out regard to party. Under better
auspices he might be welcomed as a
gubernatorial candidate with some
thing Of Difference If not with enthus-
iasm.
But in politics a man must be judged
by the company he keeps and by the
practices which he knowingly sane
tions. Colonel William A. Stone must
have knowledge of the methods which
are making his candidacy under the
management of William II. Andrews
increasingly odious to a growing num-
ber of Republican voters in every part
of the commonwealth: and it is to be
inferred from his silence that know
ingly he sanctions them. Those meth

As an individual Republican Hon.
John p. Elltin has a perfect right to
hope for the nomination of Colonel
Stone for governor If such be his pref
erence and desire; but as state chair
man of the Republican organization we
should think he would be eager to deny
the numerous assertions by seemingly
reputable witnesses that he is using
his official prestige and opportunities
to further the interests of the Allie
gheny candidate five months in ad-
vance of the nominating convention.
