THE DEMOCRATIC FIAsCO.

When the delegates to the Demo-
cratic state convention turned their
faces toward Allentown the fore part
of last week there was little thought
that anyone but G. L. Munson, the
Williamsport lawyer who made such
good run for supreme court judge
last fall, would be named for gov
ernor. But the fates are not often
kind to the Democrats in Pennsyl-
vania, and at the eleventh hour Mr..
Munson wrote letter withdrawing
as a candidate, and the convention
because it had to name someone
went on and nominated Senator
Webster T. Grim of Bucks county,
whom no one expects to be elected.
The feeling among Democrats is that
in some way or other they have been
governor, and they are mad and
disgusted. Munson has given no
satisfactory explanation of it and up
to date his friends and his party are
in the dark concerning it.
Munson was without doubt the
strongest man the Democrats could
have named. Berry had quite a fol-
lowing, but not, it seems, sufficient
to nominate him after the Williams
port man had withdrawn. The Dem
ocrats were preparing to put up un-
der Munson's lead the hardest fight
in years and were loud in their claims
that if they didn't land their man
in the governors chair they would
at least keep us stepping" They
were probably claiming too much,
but it would undoubtedly have been
harder to beat Munson than anyone
else. However, we are not here
to sympathize with our enemies and
they may straighten out their wrang-
gle and get out of their trouble as
best they can. The next governor
of Pennsylvania will be, as usual, a
Republican.
There is another sure thing in
connection with Munsons with
drawal-it will have a markedly de-
pressing effect on Democratic chances
in the congressional elections
throughout the state. There were a
few districts in which the Democrat
ic nominees were counting on the
popularity and well known running
qualities of Mr.. Munson to carry
them through to victory. In this
district one of Mr.. Kipp's most sub
stantial aids would have been the
fact that he had on the ticket with
him the supreme court candidate of
last fall who reversed the heavy
Republican majority in Bradford
and carried the county by more than
500 votes. 1t would have been a
big help indeed. The Democratic
nominee for congress would be de-
feated even had he been fortunate
enough to have Mr.. Munson for a
running mate. Without him, with
the Democrats of the county and
state chagrinned and disgusted by
the developments at Allentown, Mr..
Kipp's defeat is surer than ever

Young man, when you go to
Wilkes-Barre keep a tight lid on
your lips and don't spit on the side
walk. The anti-spitting law is 60
ing to be enforced, says the mayor
and the chief of police. A Wilkes
Barre citizen, fairly prominent, was
pulled and fined the other day be-
cause he inadvertently expectorated
on the pavement of East Market
street, and there are bound to follow
other violations, arrests, prosecutions
and fines; but let the native talent
have the monopoly of law-breaking
and fine-paying this trip. Homes

that way will save the dollar for

tarily and settled for it must not be

Reasons to Suit Evervbodv

From the Providence Journal: At

Republican majority of the Lodge
committee of inquiry has discovered
it. So has the Democratic minority.

ed on the committee we should
doubtless be informed that rum did
it," However, a choice of two is

The increased cost of living is Civ
en- as a reason for the proposed in
crease of physicians fees. The min
imum rate to be adopted by the
physicians trust would appear to be
stiff enough without considering
maximum charges. The outcome of
increased fees will probably be that
families will use more patent medi-
cines, home remedies, suffer longer,
or worry along without the physi-
clans or surgeons aid as long as
possible. We doubt If any class of
professional or business men have
more outstanding accounts or who
have more difficulty in securing pay
ment for honest, efficient and care
full work than physicians, and that
is one of the main reasons why prac-
titioners with few exceptions are not
men of means or what may be term
ed wealthy or well-to-do. If the
greater part of the people paid their
doctor bills promptly, there would
be no occasion for the proposed in
crease of fees.-Scranton Times.
