K VERY victory for decency and
IL good government IN any state
or municipality is victory for the
people Of every state and municipality.
BY reason Of the great newspapers
which are published In New York,
Philadelphia. Chicago and other great
cities the people Of remote districts
are made acquainted with the condi-
tions IN these centers. They set the
pace in fashions, business, and, in a
measure. in politics.
The little machines in the little cit
les are quick to initiate the great rings
which infest the metropolitan centers.
When crime and loot become rampant
In New York. Philadelphia or Chicago,
the people Of the smaller cities must
be alert. And when their machines
are overthrown. the lesser machines
operate less obtrusively.
Il is known that the grafters Of one
city as part of their business study
the methods which have proved sue
cessful IN looting the treasury of a
neighborlng municipality. For instance,
the ST. Louis thieves frequently sent
men to Chicago and Philadelphia TO
study new methods Of reducing the
surplus in the public treasury.
Victory over one Of these conscience
less gangs thens risaa national victory
Il puts spirit into honest men, nerves
their arms and restores confidence IN
popular government The blow that
makes one CRATER blanch brings Sc
rious look to the faces Of other graft

HEAD AND BERRY NOMINATED

Harrisburg. Pa, May 25.-William
II Berry the reform mayor Of Ches.
ter. was nominated for state treasurer.
and John B Head. of Greensburg. for
Judge Of the superior court by the
Democratic state convention on a
platform confined to state issues. with
particular reference to existing politi-
cal conditions In Philadelphia growing
out Of the gas lease agitation.
Mr.. Berry was nominated by accla-
nation following sharp contest over
the selection of the nominee for Judge.
although II was conceded from the
start that Mr. Head would be nomi-
mated. Berks county started the STAN
pede for Mr. Head on the second bal
lot by breaking away from DeWalt
and voting for the Greensburg candi-
date. Philadelphia then clinched his
nomination by dropping Ward and
casting its so votes for Head
The platform in part is as follows:
I'VE need not again rehearse the ir-
REPUTABLE indictments of our recent
platform convicting the dominant
party of the absolute prostitution Of
every function of government to cor
rupt debased personal partisanship
Fair-minded citizens of the state ad-
NIT the truth of these indictments,
deplore existing political conditions.
and yet heretofore have failed to ex-
ercise their power to reform them.
"The last session of the legislature
was worse than all its predecessors,
disappointed every hope of the people.
and responded with alacrity to every
command of the machine. Extravagant
appropriations were made aggregating
millions of dollars beyond the revenues
of the state. and leaving only the veto
power of the governor to save the
treasury from bankruptcy.
"The demand of the people Of all
political parties for a fair ballot law
was houted The established form OF
government Of the chief city of our
state was overturned so as to bring its
powers more completely under the
control of the corrupt and unscrupu-
lous men who have so long domi-
mated it.
"The appalling condition of public
affairs in that city has long been
matter of wonder TO the people of the
entire country, and Philadelphia is
spoken Of with contempt and scorn
wherever municipal government is
discussed. The people of our state
have been amazed at the apparent
subserviency Of that city to a corrupt
machine. Public sentiment seemed to
be paralyzed and civic pride dead, as
at each succeeding election by enor-
mour majorities the people of Phila-
delphia voted to continue their own
debasement.
Now as the crowning outrages are
about TO be hoaped upon her and she
finds herself bereft of her franchises
and property she cries for help. There
is no hope for Philadelphia except in
the union of god citizens with the
Democratic organization to overthrow
her machine government
"To the redemption Of Philadelphia
this convention hereby pledges the
power Of the Democratic Organization
In the state, acting through its legis-
lators. and of the Democratic organiza-
ton in Philadelphia, with all the votes
and power It can command"

weller reported to the officers Of the
cork works, who agreed to send $50
extra heavy blocks to mix with the
lighter blocks. Kahnweiler said he
was suspicious and opened one Of the
blocks and found inside a piece OF bar
iron. He then telephoned the cork
works, and was told by Stone that they
had filled the contract by sending
heavy blocks, but did not guarantee
what they would put into them.
