W0n[h Of
PHILADELPHIA
By Prudence Manner.

In quiet, said, precedent-loving
Philadelphia, the women are in
politics up to their elbows.
They are SO aroused in the battle
against political corruption and
graft that they are willing to stand
shoulder to shoulder with the men
and FIGHT.
PRECEDENT MAY GO HANG.
1t is a grand good thing to see
them come out of their moss-grown,
sheltered" life, and put their
shoulders to the wheel in aiding
the accomplishment of the downfall
of the public evils that have been
made apparent in their city.
1t required nerve for the first
woman to act. Formerly people
didn't admire nerve in a woman.
THEY DO NOW.
The old manner of sitting back
and waiting to be protected" is
gradually disappearing possibly
because there were not enough pro-
tectors to go around; possibly be-
cause they didn't want the job.
In every city a halt has been
called on the ancient way, wherein
the woman's head grew frantic over
its dull routine, her brain rusted
from disuse, and her mentality
shrunk from the compression Of the
sheltered life"
Now, she breathes comparatively
untrammeled, the atmosphere of the
whole world, and rejoices in the
use of all that is in her. Her pent-
up activities have leaped the bar
rier, and she is, FIRST OF ALL. A
HUMAN, with humanity's interests
at heart.

POWER FOR GOOD IN GRAFT

President of the American Fedora
ton of Labor.

Written expressly for The Press.
Why am | opposed to the en-
ployment of coolie labor on the
Panama canal? Because it will be
constructed by American labor!
The belief that American labor
will not go to Panama is not we'll
grounded. Americans will go -
American negroes to perform the
unskilled labor, American whites to
perform the skilled labor. All that
will be necessary to attract them
or at least not TO deter them -
will be to devise proper conditions.
They must receive good wages,
assurances of good, nutritious food
and habitable lodgings, with fair
surroundings when not at work and
innocent and pleasurable amuse-
ments to divert them.
] am further opposed to import
ing Chinese labor to soil controlled
by the United States. The United
States can do almost anything that
any other country can do-physic
ally. materially, morally and polit
ically.
But there are some things that II
can not do and ought not attempt
TO do. One is TO change the essen

Once They Understand They are Victims
of a Merciess Band of PoltiCa| Vu|tures
the Cyclone Fo|oWs---T The Middle Class
the True RefOrmerS.
BY Jos. w. Folk,
Governor of the State of Missouri

Written especial for The Press.
Most of the municipalities of the
country are governed by the politi-
cal bosses and not by the people.
Whenever the bosses are dethrOned
and the people enthroned then the
question of good government will
be solved, and not until then.
We have seen the fruits of boss
ism in St. Louis as we have never
seen it in any other city, for the
reason that in three and one-half
years more corruption was exposed
in that city than ever before in
the entire country And it was done
in spite of the lethargy of the peo-
pie, in spite of the threats of the
bosses, and in spite of the obstacles
thrown in the way Of the circuit
attorney by leading citizens.
No crusade against bossism can
succeed until the people realize the
situation and understand their
power 1t is only by the aggressive
ness of good citizens-by their ac-
tive interest in public affairs-by
putting the welfare of the city and
state above mere party success
that the train of evils following in
the wake of political bOssism can
be eradicated. The leader who can
not see the bad element in his own
party and fails to condemn it, can
not hope to successfully lead a re-
form movement.
A fight against bossism, to sue
coed, must be led by fearless man.
who is willing to stand up and be
denounced by the politicians. He
must have a singleness of purpose
he must press onward in spite of
threats to destroy him politically.
He cannot turn aside for a moment
to answer the attacks-if he does
he is lost. He will be criticised
by people who demand that he do
certain things-not because they
want to aid in the cause of reform
but because they want to discredit
what has been done.
am glad to see that President
Roosevelt has denounced "pra ctical
politics" and that he has been ably
seconded by Secretary Taft. With
two such eminent American citi,
Zens crying for more independence
in municipal political affairs, and
rebuking the unclean politicians
whose corrupttng hands destroy the
very purposes of government, the
reform movement will gain strength
with every passing day.
The demand now is for leaders,
strong men-good men-courageous
men-to fight the political bosses

1t should be humiliating to the

True reform can never come
through the politicians. 1t must
come through the freely expressed
conviction of the people whose con-
sciences have been awakened by d
knowledge of the wrongs they have
endured When they once know
that they have been the victims OF
a merciless gang of political bosses
when they are confronted with the
plain, undeniable facts, then they
will rise in their might and strike
down the unworthy leaders. If
they do not, then their cause is
well nigh helpless.

sition, and knowing no surrender,
