1T seems incredible that what has long
been known as the Quaystone State
should be showing progressive tenden-
cies, but Pennsylvania seems to be actu-
ally for political reform. Roosevelt knock
ed out the Standpatters last Saturday by
an overwhelming majority, while that
prince of Democratic progressives, Wood
row Wilson, had even greater victory.
II is truly encouraging when both parties
in such great State stand for progress

WHAT a costly price we haye to pay for
luxuries The great ship Titanic was
built for qualification OF those who desire
elegance and luxury and comfort. The
space that should have been used for
life-6oats and safety appliances was given
over to palm rooms and theatre and ball.
room and similar appointments, and when
the ship struck the iceberg, although
there was time to have taken all OF the
passengers and crew off, only about one
third of the boats necessary TO carry them
were found. Thirteen hundred lives and
many millions of property was the price
paid for this economical error.

THE Taft administration got an awful
jolt in Pennsylvania last Saturday, when
at the primary election the Republican
voters of that State declared overwhelm-
ingly in favor Of Roosevelt as their pref
erence for President OF the 76 dele
gates to the national convention, Roose-
welt captured 81, leaving | for President
Taft-and several of these are not certain
that they will be for Mr.. Taft.
The election was complete rout for
the machine organization that has had
Pennsylvania in its grip for so long. Sem
ator Penrose, leader OF the Republican
majority in the Senate and principal boos-
ter of the President, was utterly repudi-
ated by the voters, and he will most GER
tainly be deposed as party boss. Even
Philadelphia, his home and stronghold,
went against him, while Senator Oliver,
OF PittSburg, didn't get single delegate
from his end of the State. Both Senators
are likely to lose their seats as result OF
this political revolution.

1T is an undisputed fact that the people
of this country are genuinely tired of the
standpat policy that has held the Repub-
lican party together for so many years.
They are sick OF the outrageously high
tariff, OF the domination by corporations,
of the way that the federal bench has
been packed with judges selected by the
big interests. President Taft has blocked
every attempt to reform the tariff, he has
done nothing to restrain the corporations,
time after time he has named as federal
judges men VIGOROUSLY unfit for such
positions. The people know these things,
so every chance they get they express
their disapprobation OF the President and
his policies. This is good for the coun-
try, however unpleasant ii may be for
