\HE NONllNAllON OF ROBERT
T.. Pattison. at Erie, shows
Il that the Democratic party in
Pennsylvania, although pro-
fife in the rhetoric of reform, is pain
fully poor in reform candidates. Mr..
Pattison seems to be about the only
sure and certain reformer that they
have got; and there are some who
think that he is more of a reformer by
word of mouth than by official or po-
ltical action.
Robert r.. Pattison is cultured and
charming gentleman, of considerable
ability, possessing dignified carriage
and magnetic influence over men.
and impressed with the idea that fate
mas singled him out as parsonage of
destiny. Upon the two occasions in
which Republican discomfort sufliced
to place him IN the gubernatorial chair
he conducted himself circumspectly,
but exhibited no remarkable difference
in political methods from the methods
which he had criticised and pledged
himself to overthrow. The most no
ticeable difference was that he turned
out Republican office holders and in
stalled Democrats in their places a
proper enough thing to do considering
his politics, but not especially demon
strative of extraordinary quality as a
reformer. Those who want Republic
cans ousted at Harrisburg and Den-
ocrats installed will make no mistake
in SuDOOrtjno Mr. pntticon 1Nhoco who
wish for an era of purity and reform
in the politics and government of our
comuonwealth may we'll hesitate to
prefer this professional and disap-
pointing reformer to man of clean
antecedtEts and not effusive promises
like Judge Pennypacker
The nomination of Mr.. Pattison, of
course is bid for disaffected Republic
can votes. The campaign as it de-
Nclops will show whether Boss Guffey,
Pattlson's sponsor and manager, in
tends to try seriously to elect Pattison
or to use him simply as a tradable
commodity in Guffey's ambition to be
a United States senator. Should the
latter prove to be the purpose behind
Pattison's nomination Republicans,
however displeased with conditions at
Harrisburg, will experience no relief
through the support of Pattison, but
would in reality assist in sandbagging
their own party at Washington. On
the other hand, should the effort to
elect Pattison governor look to be sin
cere, it would have as it's objective
point not reform at the state capital
but the nomination of Pattison for
president two years hence and would
involve an additional danger to Re-
publican national supremacy
Republican stalwarts. who have the
kcenest reason to resent the methods
Whereby their candidate for the guber-
material nomination was dfeated in the
recent convention of their party, are
going to support Judge Pennypacker
Loyalty in every county in the state.
Those who assume to speak for the
Independent or Insurgent Republicans
have pledged their support to Judge
Pennypacker, also. That leaves for
Mr. .Pattison only the Democrats, a
small minority; and it is plain from
the attitude of the Kerr Gordon wing
OF the unterrifed that Pattlson is not
safe in counting upon the whole of
them. The man of destiny, therefore,
seems destined to undergo trouncing.

ROUMAN|A RESENTFUL
Takes Ofense at Secretary Hays
Note Through One of Her
Newspapers.
LEoTURBD BY A GERMAN EDITOR
Who Tells Her 1t Is Not Her Time to
Talk Criticism of the
Secretary's Note.

Berlin, Sept. 24.-The Vossische
Zeitung prints the following special
dispatch from Bucharest apropos of
Jewish prosecutions: The official In
dependence Roumaine, after asserting
that the new law contains no provision
not already in the existing trade law,
calls on the Roumanian press to make
an energetic protest against foreign in
reference in a ROumanian trade law
controversy" Referring to the above
dispatch the VoSsische Zeitung re-
marks: The matter cannot be disposed
of so simply. Every other state can
justly object to a foreign state mixing
in its affairs; but Roumania cannot,
since its independence was made, by
the Berlin treaty, dependent on series
of conditions-like no discrimination
between religions in determining the
political, social and trade rights of
citizens.
Uncle Sam Not Talking to Roumania.
Can the ROumanian officials seri-
ously assert, in view of this provision.
that no foreign state has the right to
trouble itself about ROumanian inter-
nal affairs? The only question that
could be raised is whether the United
States, being a non-signatory, has the
formal right TO mix in the affairs of
the Roumanian Jews. But Secretary
Hays note was not addressed to ROu-
mania. but to the SignatorieS of the
Berlin treaty, in order to call the lat
ters attention to the evils which arise
for the United States from conditions
incompatible with the Berlin treaty
So 1t Is Not Roumania's "Put In."
Let the Roumanian statesmen leave
the powers to protest against Mr.. Hays
note, provided these want to deny the
United States right TO call attention to
paragraph XLIV of the treaty. We
regard it as highly probable that the
signatories will exchange views in or
der to reach common action. That this
action will not consist in simple rejec-
tion of the American note cannot be
doubted, in view of the obligations
which the powers undertook in the
treaty"

The announcement was as a thunder
clap out of clear sky. The president
is in such good health otherwise that
it was hard to believe he was about to
submit to an operation. He had deliv-
cred an address earlier in the day be-
fore the Spanis5-American war veter
ans, and also had addressed the citizens
of indianapolis from the balcony of
the Columbia club. He was the pict.
ure of health, and many comments
were made during the early part of the
trip upon how well he looked. 1t was
noticed, however, that he walked with
a slight limp.
The president was driven from the
club house to St Vincent hospital
0here he was taken to private op-
Grating room. He was accompanied by

ries Loeb and Barnes, Governor Dur
