believed, however, that in the matter Of

War on Pennypacker.

Funny Governor Pennypacker of Penn
lsylvania has, tho no reformer himself,
stirred his phlegmatic. easy-going old
state UP to a temper Of revolt that can
not but work good. His signature on May

most infamous measure for the suppress
sion of freedom of the press passed by an
American commonwealth since the eigh-
teentht century, has aroused the righteous
Indignation of the newspapers of Pennsyl-
vania and of a large part Of the people
gans have joined the angry chorus of con-
domination the governor has called down
on himself The papers are exerting them
selves to the utmost to outdo all former
records in the bitterness and ridicule of
their cartoons, and the editorial blasts
now daily discharged at the governor
are many times as violent as anything he
bill became law.
The papers openly defy the tyrannical
law, and have served notice that none Of
the servie Legislators who voted for it
shall ever again receive their support. The
most aggressive of the papers participant
ing in the war on Pennypacker is the Phil
adelphia North American, which the gov:
ernor is talking Of suppressing. Instead Of
one cartoon day, the North American is
now running two and three, and each Of
them ridicules and lambastes the governor.
On the North Americans editorial pages
the governors mental and moral compo-s
sition is picked to pieces, dissected and

Grady bill compares with that he now
gets daily. The papers supplement their
fierce attacks with verse and prose in
lighter vein. The sporting editor writes

such ardor as it now shows in the merry
war on funny Pennypacker can hardly
fail to stir the state.

A Lesson From Australia.

The strike on the state railways in Aus
tralia and the severe measures introduced
into the parliament of Victoria, with 6
view to preventing strikes on state rail
ways, are reminders Of some of the practi.
cal difficulties of state socialism. The bill
provides that strikers shall be fined anc
imprisoned and forever buacklisted by the
government All persons concerned In the
publication of printed matter encouraging
a strike are subject to arrest and all meet
ings at which more than four strikers are
present are declared to be unlawful-and
Australia is the paradise Of unionism
While our postofhce and other government
employees have never struck, 1t is certain
that If the government conducted the rail-
ways. for instance, 1t would be certain to
be confronted by strikes. But the stops
page of a publicly owned service by a
strike is something vastly different from
that of privately owned service. The
public would never tolerate interference
with the mails by employees ofsthe govern
ment and no administration would dare
to daily with strike Of Its own employees.
The regulars would be called out In short
order if there were violence and congress
would soon be passing laws like the one
proposed in Victoria. The men might
well have assmuch cause for complaint of
treatment by the government as by pri-
vate managers, but because they would
not dare to strike, they would be deprived
Of powerful means of getting a hearing.
A leaning towards government owner
ship is often to be accounted for by the
shortcomings Of private management of
the great public services. Somebody suf-
fers from an unjust freight rate and be-
gins to think that there is no remedy ex-
cept In government ownership. But the
great question is whether the evils of such
ownership would not be worse than those
Of private ownership, watered stock and
all other iniquities. Freight rates on the
Australian state railways are so high that
freighting teams compete with them. No
such low freight rates as those Of the
United States. And as for government
control Of the vast and intricate business
of the railways, with their million en-
ployes, the postoffice scandal is enough to
show that we want none Of it in our times.
The Australian state railways are de-
scribed by John Graham Brooks to be
sunken into a debauchery Of politics. And
then think Of the sectional luminosity that
would be stirred up by government rate
making. Localities would exert their
pulls at Washington to satisfy their own
selfish interests, and the present rate con-
fusion would be nothing to what would
come Even our privately owned and OBJ
Grated street railways, tho in quite a diff
ferent class from steam railways, are
generally superior to those municipallv
owned in any part of the world And the
prospect of giving certain class Of alder
men a whack at street railway patronage
is one of dismay, tho such ownership NAV

The Decline of Prohibition.

In the Review of Legislation. 1902. -
Just issued by the university Of the state
OF New York, the portion relating to LIQUOR
legislation is written by Russell Headlev.
Of the New York state department Of ex-
else. He regards the liquor problem as far
from a satisfactory solution, but he finds
thru careful investigation that the licuor
evil Is dealt with on far more intelligent
lines than foremrly, promising better
results In the future. It is definitely es-
tabl1shed and recognized that the excessive
use Of alcoholic drinks is a great moving
cause in the degeneration Of the human
race and the shortening Of life It has
been found that prohibition does not pro-
hfb1t liquor consumption, while the evil
effects may be minimized by restricting.
q restraining and closely controlling the
business in as contracted area as possible.
Experience has proved that a high license
system reduces the number Of drinking
places one half and intemperance is cor
respondingly reduced in volume. Vermont
long prohibition state, has recently voted
for high license as more effective for the
cause OF temperance. Prohibition has had
full swing in Vermont for fifty years the
legislature at intervals having added more
stringent laws, but only failure is recorded
and the consumption Of liquor steadily in
creased and the law was constantly
evaded. Vermont has substituted local
option and high license for prohibition.
The state legislation in 1902 was mainly
devoted to local option laws and strength
ening license laws, and making the control
OF the liquor traffic more effective Mr..
Headley takes the view that from present
indications prohibition is being steadily
froced from the field, while the temper
ance movement has come to stay.
This conclusion will probably be re-
garded as heretica1 by prohibitionists: but
1t is better to be guided by actual re-
suits of laws than by theories about laws.
There is every reason to believe Mr.. Head
ley,s statement about the weakness of
prohibition as q solvent of the liquor prob
lem. 1t is very certain that since legisla-
ton has been addressed on practical re-
formatory lines more directly to restriction
and control of the liquor traffic by state
and municipality and minimizing the ia
cilities for getting liquor. there has been
decidedly temperance sentiment intro

company can defect to Canadian ports.
or course, as has been pointed out at
ottawa, the shipper can route his goods
to suit himself, but the railway company
always has a great influence in deter
mining the route.
1t does not appear that the promise to
use a Canadian port for transcontinental
business in any way affects the use Of
Portland for the business of the Grand
Trunk proper. If it did. there might be
cause for retaliation Of some kind. But
the Canadians are only acting in their own
interests in legitimate way when they
insist that the new transcmtinental must
have a Canadian Atlantic terminus. If it
were a mere question of granting a char
ter they might not insist on an agreement
to that effect, but it is well known that
after the. charter is secured subsidy will
be asked for and that the road will never
be built till assistance is forthcoming.
The Canadian government would be fool
