FRIDAY. JUNE 10. 1904.
The Choice of Knox,

Pennsylvania frankly indorses the
choice of Philander c Knox, the
present Attorney General OF the
United States, as Matthew S. Quays
successor in the National Senate,
and, indeed. the State is to be con-
graduated on so honorable an end to
a controversy that promised to de
velop numerous embarrassing and
some humiliating complications.
1t does not speak any too highly Of
the dignity of a great State that half
a dozen politicians, with no power
except that which the Indifference Of
the people and their assumption Of
authority has given them, should get
together, and without even a pretext
Of Difference calmly dictate TO the
Governor of the State. the chosen
representative of the people who
alone has the power to appoint, whom
he shall name to represent the State
il the highest legislative body in the
land
Of course, this effrontery of party
control is more or less practiced in
every State. but in no other State
and with no other governor would
there have been so apparent an alb
sence Of executive initiative or so
complete a resigning of constitutions
ally imposed duties. Seated on the
wall like Humpty-Dumpty, Penny
packer has been content to wait TIL
the string was pulled.
Possibly these men, missing the
presence of the leader who had so
long bent their wills and the will of
the entire Commonwealth to his. felt
the inherent anomaly OF their posi-
ton, and did not dare risk choosing
between the little men scrambling for
a big place lest the wrath of the
domineered public finally burst upon
them. Whatever was their motive
they have honored themselves and
their State by sending the name Of
Mr.. Knox to Governor Pennypacker
for appointment
How well their action will please
that element Of the Republican party
in Pennsylvania which has been ac-
customed to the dictatorship of Quay
and the methods of Quay. is some
what doubtful MIR. Knox is not that
sort Of a politician. lie is not accus-
toned 20 following any lead except
that dictated by his own convictions
He will be a novel force in Penn
sylvaDia politics, but if he is not a
force for good his many friends will
be grieyously disappointed.
Mr.. Knox will serve until March 4
as Mr.. Quay's successor, and then II
AL goes as planned, he viii be elected
to the full Senatorial term by the
Legislature Of the State It is not
improbable that during the next two
years much constructive Legislation
on the subject OF trusts and combina-
lions Of capital viii come before
Congress, in which case Mr.. Knox's
value to the country at large Will be
inestimable.
