elect and instruct their delegates in
the several States and no delegate will
be seated in the national convention
who does not bear the credentials of a
regularly constituted officer of the law
In his home district.
Thus it will be seen that there can
be no interference by the national
committee or anybody else, There will
be no possibility of contests. The voice
of the voter will be the voice of the
convention. ~.
If, therefore, the Progressives, who
are for the most part merely Roose-
Welt Republicans, are earnestly and
honestly desirous of submitting Colonel
Roosevelt to the people again in 1916.
they will do the logical thing and
make their fight through the medium
of the Republican party. OF course,
the Pinchots and other opportunists
of the sort will not agree in this,
but they have been using Roosevelt
simply as means of furthering their
own desires for political power and
would desert him as quickly as they
did the Republican party If they
thought they could profit thereby.
They are not the rank and file of the
Progressive party. and their little day
of leadership is well nigh done.
The big thing in the adoption of the
new Republican rules is that the Re-
publican party has removed the last
bar to the return of those who bolted
in 1912. There can be no possible
further excuse for Progressive party.

WILSON'S MEXICAN POLICY
{ From the Philadelphia Public Ledge

TFrom the Philadelphia Public Ledger. /
Our relationship to Mexico is rapidly
becoming scandal. and no one can
foretell what our superfine dalliance
may cost us In lives and money during
the next three years. The trust ~ues-
tiop is as chaotic as 1t has ever been,
and the admin istration has given us
nothing but haZy hints of it's possible
lines of action. An indiscretion at this
time may dislocate business and plunge
our Industries into long period of de-
preston. Our relationship with Japan
In the matter of the treaty is still pre-
carious. Various extensions of govern
mental action. of socialistic or semi
socialistic type, like the Alaskan rail-
road scheme, may carry us far beyond
the recognized limits of the Constitu
tion. And with the President compelled
order to hold the Western Congressman
In line, no one can say what policies
will be forced upon Mr. Wilson.

THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL
HARRISBURG's FIREMEN

IN the inelegant but expressive Ian
guage of the street, you've got to
1 hand it, to the Harrisburg Fire
Department.
Seldom have firemen been called
upon to fight flames under more ad-
verse conditions than in the case of
the old State Printery blaze last night.
Between high buildings, in narrow,
smoke-filled streets, and facing a
sharp breeze. they confined the fire
to the building in which it started
and that was all any fire department
could have accomplished under the
circumstances. The wonder is that
they did SO well. They scarcely could
have been blamed il the fire had swept
over and destroyed some Of the ad-
jacent property. That it did not is
due wholly to the splendid work of
the volunteers who manned the en-
Sines and the hose lines.
So long as fire fighting is as we'll
done as it was last night, Harrisburg is
not in serious need of paid depart
ment, in the sense that the volunteers
arc not capable of coping with the
situation, but 1t is not fair to ask men
to risk health and life without pay
to save property in which they have
no financial interest, no matter how
willing they are to give their services.
The death of William II. Harris is
an example of this. Harris was a fine
type of the volunteer fireman. Reck-
less of self, he rushed to the fire last
night and gave up his life for the
work. The point we wish to make is
this--that the city has reached a point
where 1t ought not to ask men to
take the risk Harris ran unless they
are paid and their services come with
in their regular lines of daily occupa-
tion.
So far as actual efficiency is con-
cerned we doubt if there is o better
volunteer department in the country.
Certainly none could have done more
than the Harrisburg firemen did last
night.

THE PORTS OF PEACE

Now what care / what woe may be
So long as Dreams remain?
The days of Youth that used to be
In Dreams come back again.
The voices that | used to hear
In hours now long gone by
Re-echo through those visions clear
AS bird-notes in the sky.
The high hopes of the days of Youth
Now shattered past repair ..
A sorry wreck are they, In truth,
All buried deep In care
In Dreams-ah, they are realized
In measure running DER,
And |, the failure, the despised,
Hold close to them once morei
And then the Love my heart doth hold
A secret sweet from all!
Ungratifed forever, cold,
Gone ever past recall.
When stars are whispering above
My cot, stark and alone,
dream, and dreaming find my love
Hath come to be mine own!
Ah, blessed Dreams! Gods kindly
gifts
To ease the heart and soul!
Mid clouds of disappointment, riffs
That open to the goalt
Gases they In desert hopes;
Sweet harbors of release
Where for the lost the gateway opes
Into the ports of peace!

EASTER NAZARETH

Little town of Nazareth
On the hillsides Galilean,
Oh, your name is like a pecan
Rising over dole and death
can see your domes and towers
Dazzle underneath the noon,
And your drowsy poppy flowers
In the breezes sway and swoon.
I can see your olives quiver
With their opalescent sheen.
Like the ripples of river
Gliding grassy banks between.
can see your graceful daughters
Poise their slim -necked drinking Jars
With their hair like twilight waters,
And their eyes like Syrian stars.
can see your narrow byways
Where the folk go sandal -shod--
All your din bazars and highways,
Every path that once He trod.
And know that waking, sleeping,
Until time has ceased to be,
You will hold fast in your keeping
His beloved memory
Little town of Nazareth
On the hillsides Galilean,
oh, your name Is like a pecan
Rising over dole and death!"

THE NEW RIFLES

f1E EUJlauelplld Z inquirer, In an
editorial on the new rules of the
- Republican party, promulgated
yesterday. and which beyond
question will be adopted by the party
organizations of all the States, points
out that the one hope of those Pro-
gressives who want to see Colonel
Roosevelt reelected to the presidency
is to return at once to the Republican
party
The Progressive party was formed
by Roosevelt and has depended upon
his personality for its existence. II
has been demonstrated conclusively
that the third party can never be more
than an aid to Democracy and that It
is becoming weaker with each cam
paign
The point the Inquirer makes is this
that the new rules of the Repub-
lican party grant every one of the
changes for which Roosevelt and his
friends contended in the Chicago con-
vention. With the new regulations in
force 1t will be impossible to have the
national committee play the dominant
part 1t did when Colonel Roosevelt
used his road-roller methods to nomi-
nate Taft in 1908 or four years later
when Roosevelt himself complained so
bitterly against those very same
methods.
There will be no possibility of ques-
tioning the next Republican nomi-
ration. 1t will be made by the rank
and file of the party without the posi-
bility of outside influence. The next
national convention will be no more
than the voice OF a majority of the
members of the party speaking their
minds as to the best man for the
presidency Republican voters will

slump this year in the attendance at
the fall fairs. On the contrary the
state fair, the Valley fair and varicns
other exhibitions report record

in the attendance at fairs. On the sec

That the nations of Europe that are

unique and notable compliment by
trying TO Justify themselves in the

by the New York Evening Post in the
following:
"What clearer example could we
have Of the power of n moral idea
IN the midst Of Armageddon the con
testants turn aside to ask Of us what
our army, our fleets? Not at all;
they seek the approval OF the Ameri-
can conscience for their undertaking.
We may surely draw n devout cour-
age today from this demonstration of
world-power resting not upon battle
lines or battleships. Our dominant
moral position in the world today is in
no way influenced by the fact that
we have IS Or b battleships. 1t has
nothing to do with It. AS the honest
and just man in the White House has
stated it, Europe turrs to us because
this country loves justice, seeks the
true paths Of progress and has n
passionate regard for the rights OF
humanity; and today this country
as strongly loves peace and abhors this
human war.
