Quaker City Desperation.

From the Detroit Free Press.
The seriousness of the moral situa ton in
Philadelphia is adequately exemplified by
the desperate remedy to which the right
minded people of that ancient city have
resorted for aid in their distress. They
are praying for 1.-The civic betterment of the
city and of those In authority" This APP
peal is bound to excite much sympathy for
the forces of righteousness. Instead of adj
dressing petitions to the real above, they
should organize for an onslaught In which
ballots, instead of words, shall be the
weapons and the hope of victory can be
reduced to actual achievements. What the
good people Of Philadelphia should do is
vote more and vote Inherently.
