SOME WOKE UP.

After their expulsion from the Balti-
more the smokers found quarters in st.
Mary's alley and along Stockton and
Pacific streets, on the fringe of China
town. Few lived along Barbary Coast
the life was too strenuous and they
voyaged there only after the lights had
dimmed and revelers had reached an
advanced stage of intoxication. Then
in the gray dawn they would stink
back to their dens as do predatory
animals after the nights raid. They
were holed up at 5:13 o'clock on the
morning of April 18th. Long nailed
yellow fingers had exchanged dope"
for the coin they had brought home
they had crawled to their hunks, and
from there had drifted away on a pur-
Pile cloud to fields Elysan, where
Nymphs wove garlands and danced
along river banks, where Bacchanals
turned on fountains of sparkling vim
tage in every shady dell and where
every lofty tree was an aeolian for the
play of soft zephyrs-and it didn't cost
cent. Then they woke up-some of
them did. The breeching broke, a
drawhead pulled out, a cylinder head
blew off, or something-anyway their
cloud burst and they awoke to look
out on Chaos and

of the dreamers that did awake had no
thought of their personal effects they
thought only of the days that might
pass i'm which they would be obliged to
think, of the days and nights in which
their memories might be compelled to
work and they be without the means of
securing forgetfulness. With this
thought they raided the stocks of their
landlords, secured what they could,
and thus armed went to meet their fate.

ORDER OF SUSPENSION.
Action Of Public Printer in Case Of
Bindery Employee.

Public Printer Stillings today announced
the suspension for thirty days Of Fred
]. Schlick. an employe Of the bindery OF
the government printing Office. who was
charged with misconduct" The suspen-
sion dates from August H. when Schlick
was relieved from duty pending an inves-
tigation of charges preferred against him
by Acting Foreman Ashton Of the bindery.
1t was alleged that he had interferred with
another employe and had abused him for
working at faster rate than had been
customary up to that time among the book
binders. The communication notifying
Schick Of the final decision In the case
informed him that he might report for duty
September II.
It was stated at the printing Office this
afternoon that the case Of Alvin ]. Tan
ner, who was temporarily relieved from
ing the suspension Of schlick, is still UNI
der investigation The charges against
the two men. 1t is-stated. differed mate
which were connected with the order of
Acting Foreman Ashton for larger vol
ume or daily work In the bindery. which
order occasioned protests from the en-
ployes and action on the part OF the Book
binders Union.
1t is said the charge against schlick was
that he vigorously demonstrated with
fellow workman concerning the amount Of
work he was doing and later refused to
make a public apology for the terms he
had applied to the other in the quarrel
IhaC LOOK y ace between tnem. AT nTSt the
affair was simply reported to the foreman
Immediately in charge Of the work on
which the two men were engaged, and he
directed Schlick to make retraction on
pain Of having the case reported to the
higher officials. The latter declined, 1t is
stated. to make the apology before the
other men, and the alleged misconduct
was reported to Mr.. Ashton, who, in turn,
laid it before the public printer
The suspension OF Tanner, It Is stated,
was directly due to alleged failure on
his part to comply with the order of the
acting foreman for an increased amount
Of work. No statement to this effect has
been made public at the printing office. but
that cause was ascribed by his fellow en-
ployes. His name was at once placed on
the pay roll of the union so that he would
not lose financially on account Of the in
terruption in his salary. 1t was largely due
to his case 1t Is stated, that the Bookbind-
ers' Union determined upon more active
measures in the presentation of the protest
of the employees against the methods of fas
ter work, etc, adopted under the direction
of Acting Foreman Ashton. The bookbind-
ers have, as before stated, deferred fur
ther steps in the matter until the decision
of the public printer in Tanners case is an
nounced.
AS in the case of Schlick, the temporary
removal of Tanner from duty was stated at
the printery to be for cause"

method by which they could beat Penrose
and his machine. they ind that mixing Is
awkward. When they are told that the
Wanamaker faction will be tbs beneficfa-
ries of victory over Penrose they vince
II they could see new leaders coming to
the front In this movement they would
feel that In the scramble for mastery that
is sure to follow victory of this kind
over the machine they would have q
chance to make substantial gains and
would be more reconciled to the result.
Hard to Get Together.
All of this baking was only to be expect
ed In getting together the forces that have
one purpose in common-that Is, to rebuke
Penrose and his machine. Democrats. Lin
coin republicans. the Wanamaker faction
and regular republicans who have been dis
satisfied with Penrose find It pretty hard to
fall into common traces and pull with
will Many of them don't like their COM
pany, and 1t Is only by keeping their minds
upon their common purpose that they will
be able to stay together. Every one agrees
that while such combination could not
have been thought OF in Pennsylvania few
years ago. the breaking down Of party lines
that has taken place here recently. and
which Is increasing constantly. makes 1t
possible.
Those who have faith In this movement
declare that as all of the minor features
of fusion are settled and the people have
few weeks in which to recover from disap-
pOluCmeuLS ana To get Their uAcu oh
their common purpose, they will sweep the
state. The campaign has not fully opened,
stump speakers are only beginning to try
their voices. They are helped by the fact
that Penrose Is Immensely unpopular with
a very considerable portion Of republicans
who propose to vote for the regular repub-
lican state ticket and to confine their oppo-
sition to him by voting against his friends
who are candidates for election to the state
senate which will choose his successor.
The Penrose leadership Is not character
lied by the political sagacity In which Quay
was an adept But It is a great machine
which Quay built UP. with Penrose as his
lieutenant for more than ten years. The
machine has vitality. 1t is not being ina
proved by Penrose; indeed, 1t Is not being
kept up to its old standard. Changes that
take place In 1t tend to deterioration. but It
Is still potent. 1t is working now all over
the state.
The fight against the machine is to put
out of Office men who are charged with
many political crimes. Unlike the great cat
aclysm that swept away the boodlers In
when their hands had. grasped.. valuable
municipal franchises. there is no immediate
cause for indignation to give impetus to
whirlwind campaign, and the machine men
declare that they cannot be very bad while
they have the stamp of approval Of Theo-
dore Roosevelt. the reformer.
Two months of a campaign that will be
warmly contested are before the people OF
Pennsylvania. It will be a struggle long to
be remembered. 1t will either intrench the
machine for years to come or 1t will throw
the political game open for a new align
ment Of leadership. c. e. K.
