EDITORIAL OPINION

reforms which will strike at the very
root OF the abuses wrought by those
whom he has so long defended. 1t would
be easy to sneer at Governor Penny
packers conversion as a mere politi-
clans trimming OF his sails in the face
of a storm; but such sneer would
do injustice to him and miss the true
significance OF his action. Governor
Pennypacker was never charged with
being a politician. much less a corrup-
ZIONIST. His trouble was not Of the
heart. but of the mind, He has a
medieval intelligence. He has been the
Pobiedonostseff OF Pennsylvania. He is
learned austere, high minded, but has
been welded to a theory OF politics. as
the only safe and sound method OF con-
ductlng government. under which all
the abuses OF Quay and Durham
flourished. If he saw those abuses at
all, they seemed as nothing to him
beside the duty of maintaining the
established order OF affairs. In France
he would have been a Legltimist. In
Russia he would have stood for
bureaucracy and the orthodox Church
in the face of any exposure OF official
speculation or priestly crime, and he
would have thought he was doing his
duty.
When therefore, Governor Penny
packer calls an extra session Of the
Legislature to give Pennsylvania what
is I'm effect new charter of freedom,
II means something more than the
abandonment of the bosses, whoaccord-
ing to his old creed, could do no wrong.
1t means the acceptance in measure
at least OF new standards of popular
rights and 1t suggests the dawn of a
new day in the history of self-govern-
lment. Governor Pennypacker presents
1.-THE externals OF bourbonism in some
what exaggerated form, owing to his
rugged and stubborn personality; but
essentially he is a typical figure among
good men who are the bulwarlSs OF
a doomed political order. With the
evolution OF party government these
men have come to be loyal to names
lrather than to realities. They shouted
honestly and heartily for Republican.

Incentive FOR persons to improve their
minds and perhaps to increase their
earning capacity.
We have no sympathy with the idea
that every minute spent IN rest or in
is wasted. but we do know
that many seek amusement so sedu-
lously that it pals and loses its flavor.
An occasional evening spent at the
theatre. even to witness mere foolish
ness, is often mental and physical
tonic; and we would not advise people
to become absorbed in study to such
an extent that they are obliged to give
up their friends.
But there are persons who from any
rational point Of view absolutely
waste every evening Of the winter,
and emerge from It with a bad taste in
the mouth.
II one wants to enlarge his intellect
ual horizon there are schools OF all
sorts whose courses are practically free,
and the libraries are crammed with
books that the Librarians are begging
you to read. II nothing better offers,
an evening spent IN discussing points
of history biography or the events Of
the day is not prohtless.
The general lack Of desire for intel
lectual improvement on the part Of
our young men and women may be
charged in large measure to parents.
The trend Of ones mind is due largely
to habit. and habits are formed early
in life. When the family topics are
items OF gossip or details of the shop
no wonder that tastes are formed that
preclude intellectual progress.

WHAT A DIFFERENCE

All these things come from lack Of

Canada I began to run down and a

Theatrical Notes

Frank Eldredge business manager Of

yesterday in this city arranging for the
presentation Of the opera at the Grand
Opera House on next Tuesday night
by the Aborn Production Company. The
show opened for the season at Troy, n.
Y. on last Monday night. In its notice,
the New York Morning Telegraph said:
Robin Hood under the management
of the Aborn Production Company was
produced at the Troy Opera House to-
might. Robin Hood, true to tradition.

round after round of applause. The
opera was exceedingly we'll staged and
