HERE COMES LIE RnGlE MAN

To the taxpayer It makes little diff
ference whether the Street and Sewer
Department or City Council pays the
salary Of the plumbing inspector. All
the money comes out Of his pocket
anyway, and the manner Of its appor-
tionment is wholly immaterial
so long as proper returns are received
for its expenditure. Neither does Il
make any difference, we imagine. to
the plumbing inspector. SO long as he
gets his money he doesn't care from
what fund Il comes. The issue is be-
tween the Street and Sewer Depart
ment and City Council. The former
wants all the money 1t can get TO en-
able it to do its work properly, and an
item Of Sl.50O for the salary Of the
plumbing inspector is material City
Council. on the other hand, is in a hole.
IL has managed the finances Of the city
in such an unbusiness-lilxe manner that
there already is a large deficit. which
Will be doubled or trebled at the end of
the current fiscal year because of its
failure to meet a condition known to
exist
The Democratic majority Of City
Council is trimming sail to meet the
storm next year when a city election
will be on. IL is endeavoring to un-
load every item OF expense possible ON
the departments to make the deficit as
small as possible. Too late to rectify
their blunder the Democratic members
realize that It would have been the
part of political wisdom to have raised
the tax rate in the on year. instead OF
facing the voters with an enormous
and ineXcusable deficit in the city cleo
tion year. The Street and Sewer De-
partment must bear the burden OF a
get-from-undor policy to the extent OF
81, 500.
Now let the other departments be-
ware, for the chairman OF the Finance
Committee has become a great politi-
cal economist in the eleventh hour OF
Democratic distress, and the impe-
cunious bogie man is abroad In the
land with his pruning shears in one
hand and a deficit in the other.

HE CHuRCH AND POLITICS

One of the blessings which have for
lowed our American institutions has
been the unimportant part that relig-
ion,from a sectarian and denomination
al point Of view. has played in our pub
lie Affairs. While this is a Christian ma
ton, giving asylum and encouragement
to all, or nearly all. forms of religion,
the policy Of keeping the church and
the state separate. has been adhered to
with great strictness, the found
ers Of this new nation having learned
a lesson from the bitter experience
Of the nations OF the old world in max
ing, or attempting 10 make, this or
that creed the national belief. These
thoughts are prompted by the following
dispatch which comes from Pittsburg
A federation OF Catholic societies for
political purposes was urged at to-day's
session of the Young Mems Institute
5 In advocacy of such a step President
p Immekus said I'VE want an affilla-
r ton OF all Catholic voters so strong
n that when we go to a politician or Z
legislator with a request, we will b,
in a position 10 enforce 1t with an enor
u nous vote. Let us stand for our rights
n regardless OF our different nationali
e ties or political views. The present ad
n ministratlon has at times shown a hos
n tility to Catholic interests Let US max
ourselves so strong that no admins
tration will dare override our right
ie with impunity"
We cannot conceive that such apollo
or viii be eountenanced by the intelligeI
ne clergy and laymen Of the Roman Catl
l Ole Church In this country. In OF
opinion they have a better understan'
IN ing Of the public feeling in this r
" spect In other words, if the membe
W Of the Catholic Church were to line I
'e and present a solid front for polite
" purposes, the next and most natur
TOT step would be for the various Pr

PULL THEM DOWN

Addicks has done what he threatened
to do-blocked harmony on the state
ticket He accepted the Republican
electors, It is true. but he had TO do
that. for he had promised the national
organization that he woulS do so. But
by his action yesterday he practically
said to the Democrats:
Il intend to give you the governor.
representative in Congress for the long
term, the auditor Of accounts, the state
treasurer and the state insurance com
missioner With the governor will go
about 300 appointive offices, including
the election commissioners, the regis
tration and election officers. / will
teach these Republicans that ] am the
Republican party and that they must
do as ! dictate or suffer defeat"
Addicks refused Martin B. Burris for
governor, although he had nominated
him for state treasurer. His refusal to
substitute Mr.. Burris for Dr. George
w. Marshall clearly demonstrates that
he wants a political creature, and not
q man, in the executive chair.
He declined to endorse the nomina-
Non Of Jonathan S. willis for repre-
sentative in Congress for the Ions
term, seemingly forgetful that Mr.
Willis was his candidate on two occa
sions. on one Of which the Republican
assisted in his election The refusa
OF Addicks to substitute Mr.. Willis 70
DR.. Caleb r. Layton is an insult to hi

publican, he has been nominated fC

nominated DR.. L. H. Ball for the OFF,

Commenting on the whipping-post
the Chester Times says: "The action
.of theDelaware County Magistrate's S AS
sociation in urging the passage Of a bill
at the next session OF the Legislature
to establish the whipping post in this
slate, has caused no little comment
among the state papers and the gener-
al opinion is that such a law would be
a correct one to incorporate for the
punishment of certain grades of crimi-
nails. A few days ago a brutal woman
living in the Sixth ward in this city
beat a child until the little one fell in
faint upon the ground and remained
unconscious for some time. In such
a case as that the whipping post would
be the only adequate punishment for
the brute who fioged the helpless vic
time We would remind the Chester
Times that even here in Delaware
where the whipping-post is peculiarly a
penal institution, the stripping and
whipping OF women was abandoned
many years ago, Julian Ralph and
writers OF his ilk to the contrary not
withstanding One OF the surest ways
to make the whipping-post unpopular
In Pennsylvania would be to subject
women to its torture and ignominy nc
