this country, according to Mr.. Finck finds its way
into cold storage where it is kept for months often
for years. The meat he thinks, becomes tainted.
No doubt in the big cities most Of the poultry
used comes out of cold storage, but Mr.. Finck's
figures referring to the country at large are too
high.
The New York Press has a remedy for the foul
fowl" The parcels post would bring the consumer
and the poultry producer in close touch with each
other. If the limit of packages carried by post, it
says could be increased to eleven pounds, the in
ternational standard, fresh chicken could be
shipped every day with only the cost of postage
added TO the price Of the chicken at the farm.
The Press hopefully adds that the parcels post
would bring US an appetite and good digestion

THURSDAY. NOV. 9. 1911
IN PHILADELPHIA.

THAT veteran fighter for good government,
4 Rudolph Blankenburg, won a remarkable vic
tory in Philadelphia on Tuesday when he was
chosen Mayor by a small majority on the face Of
the returns. Mr. Blankenburgs real majority was
probably much greater than that returned. But
the machine missed it. They could not manipulate
the returns fast enough or skilfully enough TO
bring about the defeat of Blankenburg,
The returns from some of the districts down
town were ridiculous. Hundreds of votes we're
recorded as cast for Earle, and in some instances
NONE and in others very few for Blankenburg.
IN the uptown and reform wards the story was
different The sentiment was so strong for Blank
enburg that il could not be overcome
No doubt the fight among 4he leaders of the
machine had much to do with the defeat of Earle.
The clash between Earle and Ware for the nomi-
nation left many wounds that could not be healed
and although Ware as an organization prob
ably worked personally for the success of the ticket
it was evident that many of his followers did not.
The people at large we're so disgusted with the
disclosures of political rottenness in Philadelphia
that even so good man as Mr. Earle could not
stem the tide. To a visitor in Philadelphia there
was some wonder from what sources Earle got his
VofcS. The great crowds about the newspaper
Offices with one exception were Blankenbure
crowds Pictures of Penrose and the other organ
izaton leaders we're Kissed whenever displayed
Public sentiment as found in the streets was over
whelmingIy for Blankenburg
The result in Philadelphia is a tremendous vic
tory for good government and crownng achieve
ment in the career Of Mr.. Blankenburg of which he
may we'll feel proud.

FOR VETERAN
Committee Being Appointed
From all Railroad As
SOCiotiOnS

Plans for the home for members Of
the various veteran employees associa-
tions on the Pennsylvania Railroad
lines east of Pittsburgh and Erie are
being taken up by the different asso-
Citations and committees appointed.
A meeting was held in Williamsport
on Saturday by the officers of the
Williamsport, Sunbury and Susque-
hanna divisions to talk over the plans
In behalf of the associations of those
divisions.
The home for the veterans is being
fathered by the association of the
schuylkill division. Committees are
now being appointed by the eight as
sociations and as soon as these are
complete there will be a joint meet
ing. Committees have been appointed
from the Middle Philadelphia and
Washington divisions.
Many of the veterans have been
retired from the railroad service and
have no homes. This home, it is be-
lieved, could be self-sustaining as the
men would all draw pensions and
would be able TO pay small board.
1t is said that there are a number
Of railroad men in Wilmington and
on the divisions centering here who
could use such home.

MIR. McCREA AN OPTIMIST.

ONCERNlNG industrial conditions President
- MeCres of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany is an optimist There is no wall of woe from
him, no talk about business marking time" no
doleful dirge, and he is right.
In an interview the other day he declared that
the talk about hard times and industrial depression
is mistake The country is prosperous, and al
though there is a shrnkage of business in some
quarters, those who are predicting hard times GER
tainly do not know the general conditions that pre-
vail throughout the country The crops are fair
ly good and there is only a slackness of business
in some regions.
The suit against the United States Steel Cor
poration, Mr.. McCrea added, will not affect the
placing of orders by the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company or by other large buyers.
This is the right kind of talk. Instead Of be-
wailing hard times, wake up and make times
better.

WAR ON TIPS.

TT HERE are signs Of revolt against the tip
Il ping practice The Commercial Travellers
League is becoming aroused. The members have
started a campaign against tipping in hotels, res
taurants and other public places. An ultimatum
has been issued by the League to the effect that
support will be withdrawn from hotels where there
is tipping.
The members of the League are weary of pay
ing the usual charges and then being gouged IN
tips The employees at hotels are poorly paid by
the proprietors.
The campaign Of the commercial travellers will
be watched with sympathetic interest. At present
in many of the big city hotels guest is looked
upon as something merely to be pucked The old
air Of hospitality has in many instances passed
away
When a man enters some hotels those in charge
seem to wonder what he is doing there and they
proceed to get everything they can from him and
to give as little possible in return. 1t he moves
in one direction or another the itching palm IS eX-
tended There is no end TO 1t.
The commercial travellers must be very great
sufferers Even the worm will turn, and it is pos
sbe thst the travellers may be able TO work re-
form which will prevent them from feeling that
when they enter a hotel they must throw up both
hands and stand and deliver.
But while they are protesting against the hotel
tips they might continue their crusade into the
barber shops where the hold-up, stand and deliver
process is carried on to perfection, and to the
detriment of the shops as the increase in the use
of the safety razor testihes. The drummers may
also 20 for the Pullman porters who are more
strongly entrenched behind wall of tips thar
any other class. And the porters do less for theiI
tips than any other receivers Altogether the trav
elers have a very wide field for operations

NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY.

II He Republicans regained control of the New
i York Legislature as we'll as that Of New Jer-
sey, on Tuesday, and this is a check to the Demo
cratic movement in those states which will have
considerable bearing on the battle of next year.
In New York the people soon wearied of Murphy
control Of the state The Tammany leader had
a splendid chance to make good" but that was
expecting too much Of him. He used his victory
at the last election simply to attempt TO fasten
Tammany methods the entire state. He had
learned nothing by experience. and naturally he
ignored the cry for good government in New
York The defeat Of Murphy on its face means
the return of the Barnes element among the Re-
publicans, and there is little difference be-
tween the two crowds.
In New Jersey the Republican victory was ex-
pected. While Governor Wilson was advocating
Progressive measures, he arrayed against him
with great bitterness the machine Democrats Of
the state and they knitted the ticket with effect on
Tuesday. The Democratic machine element in New
Jersey is very strong, and it would have been ex-
traordinary if the Democrats had won in face of
the detection in their own party.
1t is not probable that the Democratic defeat
will very seriously impair the chances of Governor
Wilson for the Democratic presidential nomina-
