The Pennsylvania Senatorship.

Government by party and the binding
character of party procedure will be very
much in the picture this year On the
democratic side the question relates TO
party platform: on the republican side
to a party nomination.
All changes will be rung on the Balti-
more deliverance Of two years ago. DID
that, in part or in whole, bind the de-
mocracy? If in part, which part and why
only in part? If in whole, what about the
Presidents reputation Of the canal tolls
law?
In PENNSYLVANIA the republicans Will
wrestle with Mr.. Penrose's nomination
for senator. He won it in walk-away,
without a question as to the integrity OF
the polling. There are no charges of cor
ruption In influencing the vote, or getting
it to the ballot box. There were two
candidates-Mr. Penrose and Mr.. DIM
mick In two-thirds Of the counties OF
the state Mr.. Penrose beat his opponent
nearly three to one.
But the advice comes from certain
quarters now that Mr.. Penrose be re-
jected as the republican nominee, and
Mr.. Pinchot, whose support for the bull
moose nomination was insignificant in
size, be accepted instead. The reason
offered is that Mr.. Penrose is boss,
and the product and legatee of the old
Cameron-Quay machine.
True, but the fact was known while the
campaign for the nomination was in
progress. Republicans had choice be-
tween Mr.. Penrose and Mr.. Dimmick,
and in Overwhelming numbers they de-
clared for the former. Suppose Mr.. Dim
fria Ia
have expected Mr.. Penrose to support
him? And had Mr.. Penrose refused and
called on his followers to support MI.
Pinchot would he not have been de-
nounced by the Dimmick men as a bolter
and unfair fighter?
An amusing feature of the case is that
the manager of Mr.. Pinchots campaign
| will be William Finn, who. along with
| Mr.. Penrose. is a product of the Cameron
Quay machine. He has not won equal
distinction with Mr.. Penrose in politics,
but in a local way has had much success.
In and around Pittsburgh his name Is
known in connection with some clever
machine politics. It Ii not his fault that
he has not Powered into a state boss and
United States senator. He was willing.
but the republicans Of the state de-
INJURED.
It does not seem possible for Mr.. Pin
chot to win in November. Either Mr..
Penrose or Mr.. Palmer will be the sena-
tor for the new term. The one is a pro-
tectionist, with all that that implies to
Pennsylvania The other is free trader,
as the term Is used in our politics. A
renewal Of Mr.. Penrose's commission will
mean a vote for the revision Of the I'm
derwood law in the interests Of more
revenue from customs and more business
for American manufacturers. commits
sion issued to Mr.. Palmer will mean an
other vote in the Senate in favor Of q
tariff for revenue only, even If the rev.
enue falls short of the governments
requirements

very convenient because Of the re-
stricted quarters with lack of pantry
and storage room. in which so many
people are now living, may be found
one of the reasons for the reased
cost of living.
In The Star some time ago was pub
lished an interview with a country
storekeeper. in which the storekeeper
said. or the interviewer wrote. this:
You city ladies. wives of clerks and
other types of dependent men, sit in a
reception hall in an easy chair of ma
hogany and leather, dressed in q morn
ing gown. take up the telephone. call
what you want and expect 1t to be de-
livered by a stylish horse and wagon.
or an automobile. and brought up on
an elevator to the fiat by boy in
ounces at a time. in gilt packages
with art pictures on the boxes. You
want half-pound OF crackers wrapped
up in a package that costs more than
cheese in porcelain jar; you want a
few stalks of asparagus or ripe to-
matoes out of season, the first price
of which has been increased many times
by express charges. packing house
charges. drayage, commissions and
profits to half dozen middlemen. Most
of you people demand the choicest cuts
of the heaviest beef steers: you would
not think of making a beef stew out
of the chuck. rump or flank Of a dairy
cow"
1t is no doubt true that the small
package. the small order. the telephone
call and the stylish delivery are some
of the hume. Gus reasons for the up
ward drift of the family grocery bill.
The weight or volume of the contents
of a package marked plainly on it will
probably impress this fact on many
housekeepers.

he has disappointed the south In some
things, and even injured her in others
In forcing his free sugar views on Con-
gress he dealt Louisiana staggering
blow. And she felt all the more outraged
because of having been led to oeheVe
that the blow would not be delivered.
Some of Mr.. Wilson's friends pleoged MN
in the campaign that sugar had notning

lined up for him at the polls.

Advice.

Advice is something very fine
Most people sometimes need It
Yet as it's passed along the line
There are but few who heed It.
The warrior gets advice in bales.
The statesman always hears 1t.
Whenever any project fails
Tho wise ones show what queers it.
There's many an honest man and true
Who scorne to seem q shirker
And seeks instruction with q view
To be a willing worker.
But lofty analysts Of fate
Will often leave you surely.
Most good advice arrives too late
Or else it lands too early.
And even when 1t seems to touch
Your needs you learn to hate It;
You find they hand you out SO much
You can't accommodate It!

Kalbfus and Oyster.

The District appellate court DECIDES
that the Commissioners neglected 10
observe the law in their attempt 10
create the vacancy in the board OF
assessors. to fill which Mr. Oyster was
afterward appointed. 1t decides that
as a result of this neglect no vacancy
was legally created. and that MI
Oysters appointment was nullity.
The Commissioners We're warned at
the time of the Importance in the pub
lie interest of extreme care in Great
ing this vacancy and of appointing to
fill it an assistant assessor who would
be eligible under the law. Since 1t
had been determined to remove Mr.
Kalbfus and to appoint Mr.. Oyster, 1t
would have been as easy Though not
so rapid to remove in the right way
as in the wrong way. and nothing but
a slight delay would have resulted
from an amicable, judicial determine
ton of Mr. Oysters eligibility under
the law.
The tax assessment and levy raise
the revenue which sustains as its life
blood the municipal body polite. Any
act or neglect which threatens the
citys heart is a vital concern of the
community. The courts, including the
Supreme Court of the United States,
have held those who exercise the tax
ing function to the strictest observ-
ance of every technical requirement of
the law before permitting the property
of the individual to be taken from him
by tax sale.
In view of these considerations affect
ing the community's welfare The Star
urged the Commissioners not to be
preeipitate and inconsiderate in their
action. to observe scrupulously the re-
quirements of the law, and especially
bility as assistant assessor before he
entered upon the work Of actual assess
ment Whether the Commissioners were
wrong or right in their view of the
law, whether they appointed an in
or an eligible to fill vacancy law
fully created, they would obviously
have been wiser to heed The Stars adj
vice-to be careful to do even the right
thing in the right way and to be sure
they were right before going ahead.
The Star has no such disloyal pride
Of opinion as to wish the smallest in
jury to the community in its vindica-
ton as a prophet of evil. 1t warned
in the community's interest at time
when it's warning if needed would have
obviated possible dangers. The Star
hopes with all its heart that Washing
ton will suffer no loss or embarrass-
ment whatever in respect to the col
lection of its tax revenue as a result of
the Commissioners action in the Kalb-
fus-Oyster case.
