PENROSE FLAWS WARE
Contractors Candidacy for
Mayor Indefensible, He Says.
fBy Telcgraph 70 The Tribune.


Philadelphia. Aug. 25.-Overshadowing
all other political events of the day In
Philadelphia, United States Senator
Boise Penrose issued his long promised
statement in support of George n. Earle
as candidate for Mayor at the primaries.
Senator Penrose fiays the reign OF con-
tract rule declares Philadelphias poll
tics have been the subject Of much criti-
cism throughout the state for years. and
adds:
Any candidacy which relies on corrup-
ton, fraud. coercion Of oficeholders and
police intimidation IL confessedly weak
and unworthy Of support, and no last
ing party success can be based upon it.
He is specific in his attack on the
Ware brothers. The statement, in part,
is as follows:
The so-called contractor leadership In
the local Republican organization in
philadelphia has for several years been
the subject of criticism and reproach
through the state. Thousands Of intel
ligent voters have undoubtedly voted
against the Republican party on account
Of this condition. The situation becomes
indefens;ble when IL eliminates in the
proposition of contractors candidacy
for the office of Mayor Of this city.
Edwin II. Ware is one Of the largest and
richest contractors in the city. He Is
backing the candidacy of his brother,
William S. Ware, who has grown rich in
association with him.
| am convinced that among all those
who are mentioned George H. Earle is
the most available
There should be a concentration of the
friends of good government and decent
Republcanism upon some one candidate,
and it seems TO me that such concentra
tion should be made Immediately upon
Mr.. Earle.
I shall have more to say later on as
the occasion may arise. but one thing |
desire now 10 say: That any candidacy
which relies on corruption, fraud. coer
cion OF ol,iceholders and police intim-
dation is confessedly weak and unworthy
of support. and no lasting party success
can be based upon It,
1T could not be successful at the
primaries" the Senator adds. and would
end in humiliatng defeat at the polls"

Mail Order House Opposition.

During the morning session William Ro-
senbaum. representing a mail order house
Of this city. came before the commission 10
protest against increase OF second class
mail rates. He said his firm expended
$500, 900 year for mail service, and gave a
business to the express companies amount
ing to 100000 Mr.. Rosenbaum expressed
the opinion that advertising in magazines
brought the great amount Of business 10
his firm, and that an increase in the postal
rate would reduce the mail order business
and the income of the -'ostoffice Depart
ment.
After the appearance Of various publish
ers Of magazines Postmaster General Hitch
cock offered a table showing the increase
IN advertising rates from 1895 TO 1910 This
increase, he said. was so marked that 1t
deserved the consideration Of the commits
sion. "Everybody's." he said, charged in
1925 81 a line. while 1t now commands
g. % a line. and The Saturday Evening
Post" which in 1895 received % cents a

Seeks Better Adjustment of Rates.

Turning to the matter before the Con-
gressional Postal Commission, Mr.. Hitch
cock said the department was not seeking
an increase Of rates, but a better adjust
r,ent of them. He said the government
carried frs. class mail matter at good
profit. but that second class mail was being
carried at loss.
I'm other words. the people are being
taxed the profits of the first class mail in
order TO support the handling Of second
class mail matter" said Mr.. Hitchcock. ut
is the opinion of the department that were
the publishers, of whom there are only
thirty thousand. to pay the cost Of handling
their publications. there could be CORE
spending reduction 10 the public on the
first class or letter mail. The Postoffice
Department is at last upon a self-support-
ing basis. but one class is being unneces-
sarily taxed TO support the other. 1t is
our belief that each class OF mail matter
should be at least self-supporting.
"The additional increase of cent a
pound that the department is seeking on
second class mail would fall but lightly
upon the thirty thousa.d publishers who are
now admittedly earning a good profit upon
their publications. and If recommended by
this commission il would relieve the public
from the present rate on letters, which
could then be reduced"
The commission. composed Of Justice
Hughes. President Lowell of Harvard and
President Wheeler of the Chicago Chamber
OF Commerce, ended its hearings yesterday.
Justice Hughes announced that he would
be glad to receive briefs until the end Of

Postmaster General Frank r.. Hitchcock
said yesterday. after the close OF the near
ings on second class mail rates. that he

volume of parcels post matter into the

II am very much In favor Of parcels

be esta bisbed I'm a way that viii enaole
the Postoffice Department to care FOR II
without Interfering with the great volume
Of other classes of mail matter now SO
necessary and essential to the welfare OF
the commercial public. I should like 10
see an enactment Of Congress for par

first 10 install IT locally on the rural free
delivery systems Then il can he extended

justment Of conditions. then ] would eH-
tend it to the railway mail service and 10
the whole postal system.
But 10 introduce il at once. with the
great volume of parcels post matter that
would be thrown Immediately into the
malls, would result I'm an edless confusion
that would, as ! have outlined. interfere
with the quick and rapid delivery OF the
now existing classes Of mail matter. | am
sure this parcels post would give the gov
eminent a great revenue. Particularly II
would be of vast benefit TO the public ltv-
ing on the present free delivery routes. IL
is there that it can be installed I'm the first
instance without interfering with the now
existing conditions.
Indeed. the parcels post could. with care

Provides Free High School For All

Free high school education for
every child in the state is provided
by the Cambern bill which passed
the Senate yesterday afternoon.
This is perhaps the most important
passed by either house or the Legis-
lature since the Barns law was
passed.
The Cambern bill provides that
every pupil whose parents or
guardian is resident of a school dis
trict which has no high school shall
be entitled to attend any high school
of proper standing in the state at the
expence of the school district in
lives. Any high school to receive
pupils living outside its own district
must maintain at least two years
high school course, meeting such
standard requirements as the state
board of education shall establish.
The pupil whose own district does
not support a high school of its own
is not limited to attending the near
est high school, or even any high
school, in the same county. The
pupil may attend any high school
of proper standing in the state, but
must have completed the grade
school courses and must have certti-
cate from the county superintendent
to that effect.
Every school district, including
cities of the first and second class,
which provides such free high school
education to nonresident pupils
shall receive for each weeks attend
ance by such nonresident pupil an
amount equal to the average cost per
week for maintaing the high school
provided that this amount shall in no
case exceed one dollar per week.
The principal of the high school
shall report the amount due on &C
count of each nonresident pupil to
the county superintendent of the
county from which such pupil comes,
who shall cause the treasurer of the
school district in which such pupils
lives to transmit the proper amount
to the high school authorities
Pupils living in counties which
support county high school avail
themselves of the privileges of this
law.
