annual session here Saturday, came
al the last moment before adjourn
ment. when the committee on resoiu-
tions presents the following strong
resolutions on negro education. whicn
we're adopted unanimously:
I'VE endorse the accepted poiicy Oh

topics. On account of economic and
phi, siological difference in the two
races we believe that there should be
difference in cou ses of study and
methods of teaching. and that there
should be such an adjustment of school
curricula as shall laeet the evident
ncAds of negro youth. We insist upon
such an equitable distribution of the
school funds that all the youth of the
negro race shall have at least an OPP
portunity to receive elementary edu-
cation provided by the state and in
the administration of state laws and
in the execution OF this educational
policy we urge patience, tolerance and
Justice"

LAWYERS AFTER COURT.

The Pennsylvania State Bar AS,
sociation, at its session, took a pos
tive position in reference to the
superior court, decla ing that that
body was unnecessary and that the
enactment creating it should be re-
pealed. Who are better quail fed
to judge of necessity than lawyers
When the superior court was Gre
ated there was hue and a cry that
1t was to give berths to political
supernumeraries to whom polite
ians were in debt. A virtue was
made of necessity, however, ard it
was accepted, and the layman has
by slow degrees been induced to
believe that it had earned right to
existence by enabling prompt ad-
judication of long standing litiga-
ton.
Lawyers are particularly con-
cerned that cases on appeal shall be
disposed of quickly and they would
be slow to condemn the superior
court were there any danger that
the calendar of the supreme court
would be glutted with untried cases,
condition which does not exist.
We doubt not that there are good
and sufficient reasons back of the
demand for the abolition of the su-
perior court, and when lawyers say
that it is not necessary we are pre-
pared to take them at their word.
How the legislature will view the
matter is another question. 1t is a
difficult matter to uproot establish
ed institutions, particularly when
there are comfortable salaries clus-
tering about the roots.

GUFFEY SOLD OUT.
Greasy Says He Dealt With Penrose in sO6
to Defeat Emery.

Hon. William T. Greasy, the
leading Democratic legislator of the
State, tells how he discovered in
1906 that Colonel James M. Guffey,
State Democratic boss and fnan-
cier, met Senator Boise Penrose,
the Pennsylvania Republican boss,
in New York during the last men,
orable Gubernatorial campaign, ap-
parently to arrange finally for the
defeat of Lewis Emery, Jr,, and the
election of the Republican nominee
for Governor in 1906.
Mr.. Greasy practically charges
that there and then Colonel Guffey
sold out the Democratic nominee
for Governor and gave Senator Pen
rose assurance of delivery of the
goods.
Here is the story as Mr.. Greasy
tells it, for publication. up to date:
II had an engagement to address
a grange picnic in New Jersey on
August I6, 1906. and on my way
there on August IS, 1 stopped over
in New York to meet Colonel Cuff

of rooms on the second floor.
II was there with him through
out the day, and when the tele.
phone rang in one of the rooms
upon the occasion in question
answered it. The telephone opera,
tor at the hotel exchange, in re,
sponse to my query, said: Senator
Penrose Is down here

her who wanted Colonel Guffey,
and again she replied: Senator
Penrose.
