A Statement to the Public.

In the great fight for the people
of Philadelphia against the Rapid
Transit Company for increasing car
fares in Philadelphia, 20 per cent.
recently, "7He PHILADELPHIA Press"
made the following announcement
in its columns, and which should
be of general interest everywhere:
"7He Press" wants the people of
Philadelphia to know that when
the agreement between the City of
Philadelphia and the Rapid Transit
Company was made. two years ago,
"zAe Press" approved it, believing
it to be in the best interest of the
citizens of the city. AS a part of
that agreement it was specified
there should be no change in rates
of fare without the consent of both
parties. The Rapid Transit Com
pany has broken this agreement by
increasing the fare without the
consent of Councils. We regard
this as breach of faith, and the
imposition of an unwarranted bur-
den upon the public, and we have
advocated the interests of the peo-
pie as against this increased fare.
AS a result of our advocacy of
public rights imperiled by corporate
greed, and of our refusal, under
dictation, to abandon this advocacy,
we have already lost large adver-
iiser. Whilst we regret this action
on the part of this particular adver-
tiser in attempting to punish us for
acting upon our sense of duty, we
have been prepared to meet such a
contingency. A newspaper with
sense of duty so weak as TO permit
its self-interest to pervert it is not
fit to exist. Our advocacy of public
rights will be continued despite any
financial losses which may result to
us therefrom.

Republican Disruption.

Disruption awaits the Republi-
can party if Aldrich succeeds in
jamming through without conces-
sions to the real revisionists of the
West the gold-brick tariff measure
about which the Senate continues
to wrangle. This is the prediction
of conservative observers in Wash
ington, including some of the West
ern Republicans themselves. Ev-
cry day the debate in the Senate
goes on serves to increase the Bit
terness of feeling between the dis
appointed and defeated revision
downward contingent of the par
ty and the reactionaries, wnom Aid
rich is leading.
Former Senator Spooner, of Wis
consin, who is now in Washington,
tells his friends that the situation
of the Republican party in Con-
gress Is the worst he has ever known
it. The feeling that has developed

Duties of Supervisors.

By an act of Assembly approved
by the Governor the 18th day Of
May, 1909. the supervisors OF the
highways in the various townships
in the State required within six
months after the passage Of the act
to measure all public roads in their
respective townships. Such meas
urements shall be made either by
the use of a cyclometer or otherwise
as the board may direct, and the
supervisor shall report the number
of miles of road in each township
to the state highway commissioner.
Another law still in force but
one so universally disregarded as to
lead many to think it obsolete is
that requiring supervisors to erect
and maintain at every crossroad a
sigu board pointing the direction
and distance to the next town or
towns. A penalty is also attached
for failure to keep such signboards
up and in good condition.
Another law of considerable i'm
portance to all drivers of vehicles is
that requiring supervisors during
the months of April, May and June,
and September and October of each
year, to 60 over the roads and rake
or clean of all the loose stone
thereon. This law is only partially
observed, Notwithstanding that a
more than nominal fine is attached
for failure to obey the law.
The above are three duties de-
volviug upon supervisors that
should not be neglected and such
officials in this county who do not
know the law thereon, or knowing
it, disregard it wilfully, would do
well to give due attention to the
matter, as the better roads move
ment is one that is being given
more attention every day, and citi-
zens of the county directly inter
ested will sooner or later demand
that every law regarding the same
be strictly fulfilled.

Counties Must Pay Up or Lose Benefit Of Per
sonal Tax.

Many counties having resisted
all efforts OF the State to collect
their share of the cost of State
Highway construction in their
limits, the State will adopt the
drastic measure of withholding the
amount due from the return of
personal property tax to The coun-
ties in September of this year.
Under the highway act, the State
pays the entire cost of road build
ing, but is to collect one-fourth
from the counties benefited, they
in turn collect one-eighth from the
townships. State Treasurer Sheatz
has received SsS,ooo from number
OF counties on this account, but
there is yet about $3.50, 900 due,

Congressman Must Stay ''on the job

Members of the House are going
TO earn their pay from now until
Congress adjourns, or Serene Z.
Payne, chairman OF the Ways and
Means Committee, will know Why.
From the moment the tariff bill
went to the Senate, members OF the
House have been slipping away from
Washington until it is now found
impossible to get quorum, even If
every representative who remains
in Washington reported at the
House.
The Porto Rico bill, authorizing
e government TO make expendi-
rs IN lieu OF tha appropriation
Is, has been struggling along in
house for two weeks. Some
nes it gets a chance for consider
...ion and sometimes it does not.
Mr.. Payne takes the stand that
as long as members are drawing
81, 500 a year as members of the
House they should remain in Wash
ington while Congress is in session
The absentees are TO be given one
more chance. If quorum is not
present next Monday telegrams will
be sent out ordering all members to
report forthwith.
The telegraphic orders probably
will have good effect, but if there
are still an insufficient number of
members to transact business the
speaker has the power to order the
sergeant-at-arms to place all absent
members under arrest. This has
oeen done in Washington occasion
ally when the House needed a quo.
rum and scores of members were
at a horse race or a baseball game,
but it rarely happens that a.mem-
Der is arrested while in his district.
Mr.. Payne may not resort to
such drastic methods, but he pro-
poses 10 lay down the law at least
to the members of his own party.

NOTES Of THE LABOR WORLD

Labor is on record in favor of a state
pension system for sick and disabled
workers and also recommends that
workers, who can not procure en-
ployment be put to work by the gov
eminent at prevailing union wages.
A new national union of shoe
workers is planned by the Lasters'
union in Lynn, Mass. That organ
ization has sent circular to all the
independent shoe workers unions in
the country, inviting them to send
delegates to meeting in Lynn on
July IL, to discuss the proposition.
This movement is due to dissatisfac-
tion with the policy of the Boot and
Shoe Workers union.
