IA n II. WANAMAKER'S Phil
\I adelphia newspaper is
4 now ready to cry quits
with the Philippines, to
pull up stakes and move on. Listen to
it's wall of woe:
"We shall not be surprised should
many Republicans from now on feel dis
posed to confess that a grave mistake
has been made In taking the Philippines.
1t is probable that there will be a grow
ing demand for a correction of that mis-
take as speedily as possible. for our own
sakes. 1t will be argued that since the
retention of the islands involves us in SO
many difficulties. moral. constitutional
and political. and that as the relinquish-
ment of the islands to their inhabitants
would emanciDate us from all of these
difficulties the strongest self-interest en-
joins the latter course
We doubt that our contemporary has
gauged correctly the temper of the
American people. 1t certainly has not
read understandingly their history If
it imagines that because a duty in
wolves difficulties the American way is
to throw up the sporg and choose
only the easy tasks OF life. 1t is a
degenerate nation which Is afraid of
responsibilities: and while the antics
Of such publications as the North Amer
lean look like symptoms Of degeneracy
we do not credit the disease to a very
! large proportion of the population.
Pull out of the Philippines? Throw
away the work Of Otis and Lawton and
Macarthur? Undo in fear what Dewey
and his sailors did so bravely? Adver-
tise to mankind that the United States
os America is coward among the ma
tions, ready whenever complications
arise to default or their international
obligations? Mr.. Wanamaker would
make fine representative of Pennsyl,
vania in the United States senate Il
these are his views.

1T is SAID that very few women pre-.
j serve their perpendicular carriage
since year of trailing skirts has left
its traces on the form divine and that
one shoulder will be found to have APP
preciably settled because of the con-
tinuous grasp upon the heavy draperies.
In many cases incipient curvature of the
spine may be detected by a specialist,
while the pain in the side of which many
complain after shopping tour may be
directly traced to the necessity for grasp
ing the skirts. Generally speaking 1t Is
the right side which will be found to be
affected as the average woman seems
to use her right hand more for lifting her
gown. The walking skirts for spring
are to be much shorter-hasten the day.

Efficient Representatives.

TWO Of the legislative districts
of this county candidates for the
Il nomination on the Republican
ticket have been announced and
the lines Of battle drawn. In the First
district Speaker Farr is opposed by
Thomas ]. Reynolds and in the Second
Frederick Connell has registered as
candidate in opposition to Reprcsen-
tative John Scheuer.
Neither Mr.. Reynolds nor Mr.. Con-
nell has had experience at Harris
burg: and if the forthcoming census
should result in Scrarton's becoming
second-class city, the election of
these men would mean that the import
ant legislative interests of this third
largest city in the state would be in
absolutely Inexperienced hands. It is
true in all legislative bodies, and es-
pecially at Harrisburg, that the new
member is at a disadvantage, and the
greater the interests of his constitu-
ents the less likely they are to receive
the attention which is their due. In
Philadelphia and Pittsburg this fact is
so we'll understood that the delegations
from these cities are continued with
very few changes session after session,
until they virtually dominate the
house. 1t is high time that Scranton
profited by their example.
II it could honestly be shown that
either Mr.. Farr or Mr.. Scheuer had
broken faith by their actions at Harris
burg. or done that which should for
felt their claim to public confidenc
the case against them would be differ
ent. AS it Is. the only criticism mad,
against them is that they kept step
with the great majority of their party,
were true to its caucus and thereby
won for their constituents the honor
and prestige Of the speakership and
liberal recognition for city and county
interests.
This being the case it is no more
than fair to Messrs Farr and Scheuer
to give them each a handsome re.
election.

election of the slot machines,
~ the gambling fraternity has
exhibited much uneasiness and
threats of political revenge are freely
banded about. We doubt that they
scare the mayor. He is under obliga-
tions. to no class or faction, least Of all
to the men who make their living by
fleeing the unwary.
There is in this city an aroused pub
lie sentiment which demands that the
house-clsaning thus begun be carried
forward until notorious abuses are
abated. The mayor is naturally looked
to for leadership in this direction and
In any Just measures which he may
take for the cleansing of the city he
will have the public's earnest support.
This Is not and should not be a ques-
tion OF factional politics but one of
law-ehforcement and when the mayor
acts courageously for the whole city he
will have ample backing.
The: present executive In party mat
ters has not always been well advised
1t would pay him to take counsel of
men who have no axes to grind. But
the people do not believe that he is dis
honest; they commend him for the
start that he has made in the matter
of the slot machines and they await
the opportunity to commend him still
further. -f
