Philadelphia, Sept. 1.-Of ma
tional interest is the fight now on
in this city for the Republican may
orally nomination at the primary to
be held September 3. When VIII
liam S. Ware announced his candi-
daCy "the Republican machine i'm
mediately assumed the aspect of an
automobile stranded ten miles from
a garage" In other words, Mr..
Ware split thinge wide open. The
noted f%nancier George H. Earle,
Wares opponent, is supported by
United States Senator Boies Penrose,
while Mayor Reyburn is for Ware.
Penrose is fighting for his own pOltt-

be thrown into the dark of
Philadelphia machine politics than
has been shed by any other political
struggle in the history Of the city.
A factor in the fight is Edwin H.
Ware, millionaire brother Of the can
didate. Edwin is a contractor and
has the Job of cleaning the streets.
William S. Ware declares that he has
nothing to do with his brothers
business, and the latter has an
nounced that in the event of the
election of Brother BIZ he will
Immediately give up his street clean
ing contract. Jim McNichol, So
called boss Is another factor to be
reckoned with. Mr.. Earle has chal-
lenged Mr.. Ware to a speechmaking
duel in each of the city wards.

MEETING IS ENuVENED
BY HEATED DISCUSSION
President of Citizens ,ASsocia-
+, ton Makes Charge of
''F0W-Man" Rule.

At the December meeting of the East
Washington Citizens Association last
evening at 314 Pennsylvania avenue south
est William M. Potter, the recently
elected president, made an effort to have
the constitution of the organization
amended so that the question of suffrage
for the District might be discussed. the
constitution containing clause prohibit
ing discussions respecting the form of To-
cal government.
Can't Potter succeeded in getting vote
of II to in favor Of making the change.
but Thomas w. Smith, former president
of the association and leader of the OPP
position, cited a provision Of the consti-
tuition requiring two-thirds vote for such
change, so the presidents efforts were
defeated.
INDUCES in Criticism.
During the discussion President Potter
charged that the association had been
run" by four men, and that they al
lowed "the chicanery and connivance Of
the District Commissioners" to go on, and
declared that representatives of the as
ISOLATION had sold out to them.
This association he said, Ought to
have the right to discuss every public
question. Other ASSOCIATIONS DISCUS tnem
The District committee OF the House OF
Representatives favors suffrage, and why
cannot we discuss it?'
A. Schulties. chairman OF the committee
on schools. presented resolution favor
ing unqualified Endorsement OF tne meas
ure pending in Congress providing for
the retirement of school teachers. The
measure. he said, has the Endorsement Of

H P. Blair. member OF the board OF
education. offered q brief explanation of
the bill The measure. he said. contains
the best features of similar provisions In
other cities. In some municipalities, Mr..
Blair explained, teachers are required to
contribute to the fund, while IN others the
city pays the entire sum.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1911-12-19

1t would not cost the government one
penny the first year, as the teachers would
contribute that amount, which, he
thought, would be about $500
Capt. Potter offered q resolution provid-
ing for the appointment of a committee
to appear before the House District COM
mittee and explain matters relating to the
construction of the street sweeping de-
partment's stables and also to discuss
street sweeping generally. The resolution
was referred to the executive committee.

association, presented q resolution urging
that reservation Is. the site of the jail,
workhouse and other buildings, be con-
verted into q park. He thinks the jail
should become a public gymnasium and

Vice of Hypocrisy.

TO the Editor Of the Evening Star:
Every person who has been on this
good old earth of ours for any length
OF years and who has Travelled some
what from his native heath must be
pleased over the fact that the "wets,
or anti-prohibitionists. have apparent
ly won out at last in Maine. 1t is to
be hoped hat later dispatches will
confirm the news of The complete de-
feat of the ''drys.'
While | am not interested in the
liquor business, directly or indirectly, l
am a thorough hater of hypocrisy in
all its guises, Everybody knows
that prohibition breeds hat sin, and
those who know human nature at all
know that man. who is supposed to
want but little here below. invariably
wants most what is most difficult to
get.
Those who can recall the attempts
to revive the ancient blue laws in

REGISTRATION MAKES TROUBLE.

TN RON all parts of the State come accounts of the difficulties
and embarIassnents Of he registration under the provisions
of the Geran election law. The extraordinary interrogation
10 which applicants for registry were subjected caused exasperation,
which. with the long delays at the registry places, drove many
Disguised voters away. Election officers appointed by the method
prescribed by the law proved utterly incompetent in not a few
eases or failed 10 perform their duties. The inquRtorial exami
nation under the law is well calculated to offend the foreignborn
citizen and 10 alarm the timid and suspicious among them, for it
Iartakes of the character of Russian police methods. Men who in
Europe witnessed these methods in police usage can hardly be
blamed If they shrink from what appears TO be a reproduction
of them in New Jersey. IT has been said that when the people shall
have become better used to the new kind of registration they will
be reconcled 10 il, but that promise may well be doubted. 1t has
been the boast of he American citizen that the exercise of manhood
suffrage in his State and country has no restrictions, limitations or
disabilities for the legal voter. That boast is not made good under
the drastic election laws that have been imposed on this State.

MAINE KEEPS DRY AND HYPOCRI7ICAL.

I'D EI4ATED returns from the Maine backwoods serve to over
IIO come the majority poHed in the cities and towns in Mon.
days election Oh the proposition taking prohibition out of
the State Constitution. On the face of the returns prohibition wins
by Il few hundred votes. The uninteligent part Of the electorate,
living inslemote and isolated settlements and having no compre-
hension of the sentiment and customs and wants of urban life,
turned the scale against Il genuine reform that would have lifted
from Maine the reproach of notorious hypocrisy and redeemed it
from The sin of habitnal law breaking. Maine remains in the prohi-
biton column of States with three other Northern States and four
States of the South. Recently Texas. Alabama, Florida and Ken
lucky voted against prohibition. The argument that is held in
the Southern States for prohibition is the necessity of keeping
liquor from the negroes. In all of the prohibitory States there is
no restriction ON the whites. In their private clubs and in their
homes and social gatherings it is as if there were no prohibition
law. In Maine even less respect is shown for the law, as the
numerous saloons in Maine cities bear witness. The triumph of
the "drAs" in Maine is a victory for the Keepers of those places.
They have no large license 10 pay under Il prohibitory law and they
can sell the worst kind of spriuous liquors.

Time for Action.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Don't you thank ii is about time that
the Federal authorities took up the
matter of that local alleged bankruptcy
combine in which the senator from the
state of Essex Harry V. osborne,
and the senator from Warren, Johnston
Cornish, are so vitality interested?
Why. it is common talk among the
members of the legal profession that
they hate to bring bankruptcy cases
into the court that appears to be I'M
der the control of these two men.
r heard a lawyer say the other day
that no member of the bar cares about
that sort OF business any more for the
reason named. 1t is always a case OF
not knowing where they are at ex-
cept in a general way that the COM
bine will get the fat.
By the way, II the Federal authori-
ties can't get busy on something that
is wholly illegal. why does not, at least,
the committee on ethics of the Law
yers' Club do something Is the COM
mittee afraid? Surely the proceedings
published lately about this court have
transcribed the bounds of ethics.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star.
The plan Of placing the roofs of our
public schools at the disposal of the
young ok of our city for dancing, as
advocated by one Of your correspond
ents recently. is an excellent one. The
Board OF Education should take the
matter up with other city officials and
strive to see the plan executed.
The ideagoriginated in Jersey City,
or at least 1t was first put into prac-
tise there, and the reports of the sue
cess of the plan in our sister city is
incentive enough to urge h local au-
thorities to try it. If put into execG-
ton properly there is very little chance
Of the scheme falling, and every oppor-
tunfty for its success is offered.
Its success means a decided decrease
in the number of dance hall nhabit-
ants, whose morals would be better off
in another atmosphere. The city owes
this opportunity to its young men and
women who want clean, wholesome
fun. but cannot afford To spend their
whole salary for il. b. l.. I.

POLITICS IN THE GRAND JURY.

cH HE grand jury is again TO play its part in politics, this time
in Camden. Ten months have elapsed since the November
election last year, and there were charges and countercharges
III Camden county of crookedness i'm that election. None of these
charges materialized and successive grand juries took no notice
of them. Elections are now impending and there is ii bitter fractional
quarrel in the Republican leadership. and resort i%had to the grand
jury as Il weapon in the quarrel Whatever reason may now exist
for grand jury action has existed for ten months, and without any
initiative for such action from any quarter. so it is apparent that
partisan and factional politics alone has inspired the newborn
desire at this late day for a grand jury probe of what was alleged
to have been done ten months ago.

A REDUCED VOTE PREFIGURED.

tt T is now very probable that the vote in the November election,
instead of being swollen 20 per cent. by the new election laws,
will fall much below the figures OF tn" last election. The
slump may be extraordinary. Ingenuity could not have devised IN
4 law more discouragements for voting tban are offered in the
acts passed by the Legislature last winter. These acts constitute Il
series of minute requirements, prohibitions aad penalties, and their
ogoN sions are so involved that they are now matters NC dispute
even by welIinformed lawyers and politicians. II is an axiom that
thai State is governed hest that is governed least. Elections con
oacted under simple forms and by simple processes are the best.
The new laws fill the path to the ballotboX with Instructions and
siifals. 1t is essential for good government that there should
b, y scrupulons exercise of The right 10 vote and whatever inter
fertSt with that principle is fundamentally wrong aad vicious. =

AGE.

How old may Phillis be, you ask,
Whose beauty thus all hearts en-
cages?
To answer is no easy task:
For she has really two ages.
Stiff in brocade and pineh'd in stays,
Hell patches, paint and jewels on;
All day let envy view her face,
And Phillis is but t~wenty-one.
Paint. patches. jewels laid aside.
At night astronomers agree.
The evening has the day belied:
And Phillis is some forty-three.
