Wedding Out Unfit Senators

One wholesome result of the cam
paign against graft, which seems to
run like an infection from state to
state throughout the union, is
prospective improvement in the
quality of the membership of the
United States Senate. Knox has
already taken the seat Of Quay from
Pennsylvania, and Penrose has
made himself future impossibility.
Platt and Depew, OF New York,
and Dryden, of New Jersey by
curious turn Of events, have been
made to stand up and under oath
testify their own unhtness. They
may not resign, but their day of
influence and usefulness is past.
Other and better men are sure to
succeed them.
Death and the process of the
courts have removed Mitchell, Of
Oregon and Burton, of Kansas.
There are 80 senators whose
terms expire in 1907. This gives
to the awakened conscience of the
country an immediate opportunity
of making itself felt, both in the
reward of faithful service and the
rebuke of demerit. Senator Alice,
of Delaware, is in this list, as we'll
as Dryden, of New Jersey.
There is a sting of truth in the
declaration that the United States
Senate has become "a club of mil
lionaires. Of late years the SEN
atorial millionaires have steadily
legislated IN the interest of million
aires and monopolies. 1t is time
that the states-not the corpora.
tions-shall have representatives to
speak for them on the floor of the
United States Senate. The weed
ing out process already so effective
ly begun, should be pushed until
the Senate is restored to its time
vigor and repute. -Ee.

Fei,z Shows How townships Can Acquire
Their Road Tax From Slate

Deputy Attorney General Fleitz
decides, in an official opinion de.iv-
cred TO State Commissioner Hunter
that all townships in Pennsylvania
desiring to receive IS per cent. Of
OF the amouut of their road tax
iiom the state next year must vote
athrmatively on this proposition at
the coming February election, Mr..
Fleitz decides also that under the
general supervisor act, passed by
the last legislature, the supervisors
must serve without compensation,
bat may be reimbursed for travel
ing expenses; that 10 supervisor
can act as road master, and that
the act is general III its terms, ap.
plies to all second class townships
in the state, and all local or special
laws relating to the management
and control Of township roads i'll
conflict with this act are repealed
by it.
The Deputy Attorney General
has also advised Commissioner
Hun,er that, in building roads with
state money, he need not conhne
himself to using any one county's
appropriation for the year only.
The money appropriated by the
legislature was for a period OF four
years, and Deputy Fleitz says that
to facilitate matters, Commissioner
Hunter may use county's entire
appropriation at once, i'll his discre-
ton, but that he must allow no
county more than its pro rata share
OF all the money. 1t will b. recall
ed that Dauphin county lost its
share because of objections to pro
posed improvements in Swatara,
and Lower Paxton townships.

CORRUPT AND COMMENTED"

In the January LibbintoHs there
is all arrestive paper OH present-day
Finance by well-known capitalist
who hides under the mem de gHerre
w L." In this the author speaks
as follows
The investigation of several great
Life Insurance Companies has be-
come matter of universal interest,
for the revelations point to germane
conditions in other financial organi-
cations as well The public is mani
festly am zed BY the, to them, as
founding abuses of the resources of
these great corporations to the ad-
vantage of those i'll positions OF
trust connected Herewith but do
the fnanciers of the age share this
surprise? Probably not, for their
intimate association with the
sources from which large sums of
money are constantly derived has
familiarized them with the abuses
that pervade the financial manage
ment of many OF our great corpora
tions. This does not imply neces-
sarily that funds are stolen, or that
the courses adopted must be con-
strued as criminal, but, as evinccd
in the development incidental to
the investigation of the affairs of
the Insurance Companies referred
to, the interests of the real gamers of
these great properties have been
disregarded i'll a shameful manner.
With a full knowledge of such
facts. the average stockholder does
not make the least effort to rectify
the evil. Recently the writer had
a discussion with friend regard
ing the relative merits OF the man
agement of two great Railroad Com
panies, and conteuded that the com
pany III which he was interested
was managed with scrupulous
honesty, while the company in
which his friend had holding of
thousands of shares was conducted
notoriously to the advantage of the
chiefs of its departments. The
friend admitted the facts, but said /:
" You have your company man
aged honestly and have not had
dividend for years, while we have
never failed to receive dividends
annually. Now l should rather be
robbed and get a dividend, than
have your honest management and
get nothing"
This one sentence presents the
view of very many stockholders
they are satisfied so long as they
receive q fair return for their in
vestment, and do not bother them
selves about details of management
forgetting that some day their
neglect may result in loss or even
ruin. This so long .as-I I-get.a-
share feeling of contentmept Oh
the part of the stockholders helps
largely to encourage carlessness III

COMPULSORY VACCINATION.

Benton, R. +. D. No. I =,
Dec. 2I, 1905.
We have been asked the question
several times since we have taken
such a pronounced staud against
compulsory vaccination, whether
1--WE believe that vaccination is
wrong" By no means is vaccina-
tion wrong. But compulsory vacci-
nation is. We were vaccinated when
a boy. My wife was vaccinaled
when girl, but not successfully,
She was again vaccinated when we
had our children vaccinated years
ago, and got very sore arm. We
were brought up under the principle
that self preservation is the first
law of nature; and that it is just as
necessary to take precautionary
measures to protect ourselves
against contagious epidemics, as
against accidents, or any other
dangers. That all such precautions
are part and parcel of the general
household economy, as in providing
fuel, clothing and all other neces-
saly things, for the comfort, health
and happiness of the home. All
these are things that enter into the
economy of reason and common
sense and should be lett free for
every person, or home circle to deal
with as his, or their best judgment
may dictate. The idea of compul-
sorry and despotic measures is so
repugnant that if people submit to
it at all, it is under great protest
We also believe that if campaign
Of persuasion had been waged in
every community and the people
brought TO see the desirability and
necessity of such a measure for the
public need before the schools
commenced in the fall, that nearly
all the children would have been
vaccinated without protest. There
is a right way of doing things as
we'll as wrong way. The people
always protest when, forced under
the yoke of tyranny.

The February Election.

Speaking generally, the spring
in Pennsylvania, are of
far more immediate importance to
the people than the general election
in November. As President Roose-
welt said in his Little Rock speech
last summer. 1t makes very little
difference in the end whether the
president of the United States is a
Republican or Democrat" but it
makes every difference that all
public officials shall be clean and
honest.
AS rule, votes cast at the Feb
ruary election are much fewer than
those polled in November.
There should be equal interest in
the election next February when we
are to choose borough and town,
ship officers. 1t is OF far greater
moment to the citizens of Blooms.
burg that they shall send the right
kind of men to council and to school,
board to fix our tax rates and to ex.
pend the money raised by taxation
than that this or that man shall be

wants the business of the publ,

Washington d. c. Dec. 81, 1905.
There is going to be a fight on
the Panama Canal as soon as Con-
gress gets to work after the holi-
days. The trouble has come from
the Presidents determination tn
retain Mr.. J. B. Bishop, the much
discussed press agent" not in the
service of the Commission, but as
member of that body. Worse even
than his appointment on the COM
mission in place of the late and un-
merted engineer Wallace, is the
t that his salary is to be 1890
commissioner and that he will
&c an extra 81. 500 for some
ccial secretarial work, thus max
his salary $40, 900, just what
~ was gettirg as press agent"
There is going to be warm fight
on this nomination and several of
the senators prcphesy that it will
Oe defeated.

The scheme for 'ederal control of
insurance which was going forward
with such vim in Congress has
been brought to a sudden halt by
some of the older members who be-
came suspicious of the alacrity
with which the insurance colnpan-
les themselves have been agreeing
to the plan. IT is said that they
would not be SO willing to be con-
trolled if they did not see some dis.
tinct advantages in It for them
selves. The senators and represen-
tatives who recently were foremost
in advancing the plan, are now
stopping to take another look at it.
1t is pointed out that federal con-
troll would put the companies much
in the same relation to the govern,
ment as the National Banks and
while the banks are supposed to be
under the strictest governmental
supervision, it does not prevent
their failing for large sums with
alarming frequency. Federal control
would certainly be an advantage to
the companies in their in
terstate business and it would give
them a national standing very
beneficial abroad, which they do
not now have, though they really
almost control the life insurance
business both in Great Britain and
III Germany. Federal control is
likely to come in the end. Some
sort Of control is very necessary in
the light Of the recent disclosures
III New York. But it is a safe
guess that any bill to this end will
be carefully scanned before It pass
es Congress to see that there is not
a joker concealed in it somewhere
that will play into the hands of the
insurance managers.

The Secretary of the Navy says
that he can control The hazing and
fighting tendencies of the Naval
Academy if he is given the power
Of summary dismissal over the ca
diets which according to strict in
depreciation of the law he does not
now have. Cadets are rated as
line officers of the Navy and as such
they cannot be dismissed except by
court martial. But Secretary Bona
parte is a rude person with little
respect for brass clothes" and
none whatever fr the so called
"code of honor" that has been un-
earthed in the Academy. His fin
gers are itching to get hold of a
cadet who daTes defy the power oI

the authorities and if he does, with
the authority to carry out his wish
es, Secretary Bonaparte will i'll all
probability make such an example
of him as will materially discourage
the ambitious young men who are
now living up to the sacred tradi
tions of black eyes and missing
teeth inculcated ct the Naval school
The Foss bill, if it is passed, will
give the Secretary such power, and
it looks now as though the bill
would be passed, the disciplining Of
cadets left TO the Secretary instead
o. turning the purging of the
Academy over to a congressional
investigating committee.

The American residents of the
Isle of Pines have been severely
criticised by one Of their number
now in Washington for their at
tempt to organize a territorial gov
ernnent and to send a delegate to
Congress. The critic, Col. 7. J.
keenan,, President OF the American
Society of the Isle of Pines says
that while he is in general sympa-
thy with the residents in their dis
taste for Cuban rule, he thinks
they have acted very unwisely in
the way they have forced the issue
and run the risk of e,nbroiling this
government with Cuba without any
ultimate good to themselves.

There are indications that Con-
gress, through the Senate is dis.
posed to practice canal building
itself for little while and take the
matter out of the hands of the
President. The literary secretary
or press agent of the Canal as Mr..
Bishop has been called, appears to
have been the straw that has tipped
the scale and changed the Canal
status. Mr.. Bishop, it will be re-
membered. as a journalist on the
editorial staff of Republican paper
had given the Canal question much
study, had written much about it,
and was considered by the President
mainly on account of his thorough
acquaintance with the Canal enter
prise. His salary was $40, 900,
much more than that of any Sena
tor or Member of Congress, but not
more than Mr.. Bishop had been
getting in New York. Doubtless
number of Senators are more or
less angry with the President for
reasons or preJudices quite unre.
lated to the Canal, as for example
Railroad Rate Legislation, and for
various requests and favors never
granted. Senators are only human
and when one Of them going from
an executive committee of the Sen
ate said, "The President will find
that he cannot build the Panama
Canal by reciting the Ten Com
mandments," it is not impossible
that he may have found the Presi-
dents too strict adherence to these
Commandments in the way of his
own schemes and those of his
clients.
