Is it a Fake?

Thousands of copies of type
written letter, that with regularity
each campaign is prepared under
the auspices of the Penrose- An
drews Republican headquarters in
Philadelphia, are now being mailed
through Pennsylvania, ostensibly
coming from the "War Veterans
Club" The prettily-worded COM
mnnication appeals to veterans of
Pennsylvania to stand by the Ma
chine State ticket at the coming
election, and Tie Scranton Times
makes timely comment: "If the
War Veterans Club of Philadel.
phia' is in existence at all, it must
be composed of henchmen of Pen
rose, for use by the big boss in
campaigns" That the reputed
club is not a genuine friend of the
veterans is evident from the fact
that Candidate for Auditor General
Sisson (whose election is favored by
the so-called Veterans Club at
the last legislative session voted as
Senator against the bill giving a
State pension of So a month to
Pennsylvania veterans OF the civil
war. He had no use for the old
soldiers then.

THE SEVENTH AMENDMENT.

Among the amendments to the
state constitution that are to be
voted on next month is one at least
that ought to be defeated, 1t is the
seventh, and reads as follows:
District election boards shall consist
Of a judge and two inspectors, who
shall be chosen biennially, by the citi-
zens at the municipal election; but the
General Assembly may require said
boards to be appointed in such manner
rs it may by law provide. Laws regu-
iating the appointment of said boards
may be enacted to apply to cities only:
Provided, That such laws be uniform
for cities of the same class. Each cleo
tor shall have the right to vote for the
Judge and one inspector, and each in
spector shall appoint one clerk The
first election board for any new dis
trict shall be selected, and vacancies in
election boards filled, as shall be pro-
vided by law. Election officers shall be
privileged from arrest upon days OF
election, and while engaged in making
up and transmitting returns, except
upon warrant of court of record, or
Judge thereof, for an election fraud, for
felony. or for wanton breach of the
peace. In cities they may claim eXemp-
ton from jury duty during their terms
of service.
This is the same in substance as
the present section except that
these words have been added: "But
the General Assembly may require
said boards to be appointed in such
manner as it may by law provide.
Laws regulating the appointment
Of said boards may be enacted to
apply to cities only; provided, that
such laws be uniform for cities Of
the same class"
The adoption of this section will
give to the Assembly the power to
take from the people the right to
select their own election officers,
and no one will doubt for a moment
that the boss-governed legislature
OF this state would exercise that
power at the very earliest oppor-
tunity.
How and by whom election Off
GERS shall be appointed would be
left entirely to the will of the law
makers. The adoption of this sec
tion would be a menace to the
rights of the people, and rob them

THE BENCH AND THE MACHINE.

During the discussion OF the iu-
dlcial salary section of the coustitu-
ton of Pennsylvania the very able
gentlemen who composed the con-
vention of 1873 expressed their
opinions of the judges Of the State
with considerable freedom. One
gentleman said Il have seen as
much log-rolling in the Legislature
in regard to increasing the salaries
Of Judges as l have seen with ie-
gard to the increase of the compeu-
sation of any other officer" An
other delegate in the convention
declared that "a judge is subject TO
the inhrmities of human nature
just as much as any other officer,
and would hold him to the same ac-
countability and give him no more
privileges" Still another delegate,
even more candid than his col.
leagues, added: They are the
most importunate beggars to have
their salaries increased that we have
in the Commonwealth. They hard.
ly ever get OIL the bench that they
do not want their salaries increas-
ed. "
In these expressions of expert
enced legislators there is concealed
the reason for one of the most cor
rupting agencies in the political life
of the Commonwealth. This con-
slant importantly for the increase
of judicial salaries has more than
any other one thing IN the affairs
of the State, debauched politics.
The late Senator Quay's mind was
alert enough to discern the advan-
tage of the friendliness of the bench
and his SUCCESSORS in the leadership
of his party have profted by his
practice. The result is that there
has been more strenuous and fire.
quent effort to increase the salaries
of judges than those of any other
office, The judges, on the other
hand, soon learned to appreciate
the liberality OF the machine mana
gers to themselves and in a recipro-
cal spirit prostituted the bench to
serve the machine. These begga-s
may be importunate, as the dele
gate in the constitutional conven-
tion said, but they are not migrate
full.
During the administration of
Governor Beaver bill was passed
through both branches of the Leg
islature increasing the salaries of
judges which was vetoed on the
ground that it was in conflict with
that provision OF the constitution
which forbids the increase or de-
crease OF the salary of any officer
during the period of his tenure in
office. 1t was precisely similar to
the bill enacted during the session
of 1908, approved by Governor
Pennypacker and declared constitu-
tional by Judge Won Moschzisker.
Three or four attempts to retire
judges on full pay at a certain age
have oeen made within the past
twenty years, which, of course, is
another method of increasing judic-
ial salaries and at every session of
the Legislature during a dozen
years or more, efforts have been
made to increase the number of
judges, and the judges have shown
their appreciation of the favors by
helping the Republican machine
whenever it was possible.

School Appropriations.

All of the affidavits which form
the basis for the granting of the
state appropriation TO the schools
of the various townships of the
county having now been received
from the various boards of directors
by County Superintendent Evans
some interesting figures have been
compiled which should serve as a
lesson to the directors of the coun-
ty; lesson which if properly
learned would bring to the schools
of the county between S4, 900 and
S., 900 each year which is due them
but which they do not get owing
to the low grade of teachers en-
ployed i'll many of the townships.
The law governing the appropria-
ton makes the minimum salary of
the teacher with only a provisional
certificate $40 and provides for the
payment of the difference between
that amount and the salary paid i'll
1906 when the law was put into ef-
feet. For the teacher having a per-
maneDt or professional certificate or
those who are graduates of Nor
NAL School and have taught two
years, it makes the minimum salary
$50 and also provides for the pay
ment of the difference between that
amount and that paid III 1906 which
at that time i'll most instances was
S35, making the difference or the
amount paid by the state in the
latter case, SIS per month and in
the former S. per month. BY em-
ploying the former class of teachers,
the directors loose a large amount
of money which they could get by
securing higher class and more ex-
perienCed teachers without costing
them cent more. For instance
Beaver noy gets S3I5 but there is
a possibility of its getting S735.
Benton likewise could get S735;
Centre could get S945; Cleveland
'nd Hemlock, S755; Orange, S425;
Pine, $40; and Madison, S945,
while all of the other schools of the
county with the exception of Mon
tour which is getting its maximum
amount, could get from Sfoo to
$500 more simply by employing
higher class teachers. The county
according to the present basis will |
receive S17,9II which, despite the |
fact that many of the townships are
not getting all that is possible for
them to get, is more than that re-
Ceived by most counties owing to |
the higher class of teachers employ
ed in the county.
The amount received by each |
township is as follows: Beaver, |
S3t5; Benton Boro., 5000; Benton
township, S595; Berwick, 81, PTS; |
Bloomsbury, 81 449; Briar Creek,
