BUSINESS MEN IN POLITICS
New York SUM

(NeW YORK Sun)
Practical men of affairs are going
to have large opportunity for a long
time to come to develop and make eff
fective their qualities of leadership in
the formation of public opinion about
the nature and privileges of business.
Politicians of the sort that has been
shaping popular thought on this sub
ject have tremendous surprise await
ing them in the lessons which the
European war will teach. Events are
already showing that politicians do
not make the safest guides to getting a
living and accommodating a compe-
tence, and there will be further per-
suasive demonstrations of the fact that
the survival of business depends on
the hope of profit and not on fantastic
projects of vote coaxing politics.

"HE HAS A VERY VILE TEMPER

OnuGIs Lue dDONG CdpllOn tie AL
toona Tribune, a newspaper always
fair in political discussion, says:
Thus far the Tribune has said little
derogatory to Vance Mccormick, DEM
ocratic candidate for Governor. 1t
has called attention to the fact that
he spent about $33, 200 himself prior
to the primaries, or within $1,000 or
the entire salary of the Governor of
Pennsylvania for the term. 1t hears
that his agents spent about as much
more, and there has certainly been a
very liberal expenditure since the
nominations were made. While money
is something Mr.. Mccormick has al
ways had in liberal quantities, some
folks believe he has been handing out
entirely too much for reformer. And
then Mr.. Mccormick has devoted
much of his time lately to ferocious
trades against DR.. Brumbaugh and
his hired agents have followed his ex-
ample. 1t makes a very bad showing
for the Democratic standard bearer
that he should have such nasty tenn
per and say such ugly things about
a good man."

EVENING. OCTOBER 20
TREMENDOUS REACTION

nm mec"rne gsnaes Tnss oosses s1S would Rd'%sF nsTe
w said in the event of the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Dimmick as the
Republican candidate for United States
Senator He also ran in an open State
wide primary with Dr. Brumbaugh
and others and it would have been
lust as reasonable to say that the Re-
publican candidate for Governor was
the selection of Dimmick as to insist,
as Mccormick and others are doing,
that he was put on the ticket by Sen
ator Penrose.
DR.. Brumbaugh went squarely and
fairly before the people and was nomi-
mated by more than 250,OO0 voters. 1t
is as absurd as it is silly to say that
Brumbaugh owes his nomination to
Penrose or to anyone else save the
Republican voters.
1t is especially nervy for William
Draper Lewis who was nominated for
Governor by the Washington party, to
desert his followers at the command
of ex-senator Finn and then indulge
in criticism of DIR. Brumbaugh on the
score of bossism. Only a day or two
ago the Public Ledger the independ-
ent Philadelphia newspaper which is
supporting Brumbaugh while opposing
Penrose, called Lewis to account for
having asserted in a speech that DR..
Brumbaugh was elected superintend-
ent of public schools by political
bosses. This is another of the false
hoods which will react in DIR. Brum-
baugh's favor. The allegation is un-
questionably false" says the Ledger
AS a matter of fact, he was elected by
a majority of only one vote against
the opposition of the politicians.
1t has been the studied effort of
Palmer and Mccormick and their
fusion allies to deceive the voters as
to DR.. Brumbaugh's independence by
endeavoring to have it appear that
somehow he is the servant of a po-
litical machine. Their scheming has
utterly failed and the people are show
ing in all parts of the State their re-
sentiment over the unfair and ma
licious ISLANDERS of a malignant and
desperate opposition.
"As Governor" say the Ledger, "he
will display the same firmness, reso-
!uteness, infieXible will and dauntless
courage as he has during his entire
connection with the public schools"
1t has been the hope of the Demo-
cratic machine that misguided preach
ers and temperance leaders, bam-
boozled by designing men, would be
able to create a sort of religious frenzy
throughout the State in the interest
of its ticket, but the strong protest of
able and clear-minded ministers and
others has resulted in. stampede
toward DR.. Brumbaugh instead of
away from him.
Defamation may seem to win for q
little while, but the people are fair
when they learn the facts, and the
outrageous attacks upon the distin-
guished Republican candidate who will
be the next Governor have reacted
with tremendous force.

1t is unfortunate for the Democratic

sympathy with them throughout his
business career. Patrick Gilday, a
well-known official of the United Mine

he strongly condemns Mr.. Mccormick

EDITORIAL COMMENT

We cannot recall campaign in
which the professed reformers of this
State were more malicious. vindictive,
slanderous and false than they have
been this year. Outwardly they are
fair TO look upon, but inwardly they
are as noisome and repulsive as the
ancient epulchres.-Altoona Tribune.
Well. the Long Congress is about to
take a rest. For the sake of every
body's bread and butter, may 1t give
business a permanent one! - New
York Sun.
Mccormick scored the present ad-
ministration because the Legislature
had appropriated $26,OOO,OOO more than
there was revenue, and Governor Tener
for slashing the appropriation. In direct
contrast to this is the action of the
Democratic Congress in spending $780,
900, 900 more than there was revenue
and the fact that President Wilson DID
NOT pare the appropriations to meet
the income, but turned about and levied
an additional war tax.-Sharon Herald.

Baccalaureate Sermon delivered to
the Graduates of Sacred Heart Academy
by Reverend F. H. schribing on Thurs
day, June Is, follows:
My Dear Friends: At last has
dpwned that day towards which all of
you have so anxiously looked forward
for so many weeks and months, yes even
years that day on which you were
graduated from this institutions; receiv-
ing the crown of your diligence and
labor.
| therefore congratulate you one and
all; the graduates, because of their
perseverance and accomplishments, the
teachers because of their noble work
and the ever increasing numbers who
go forth taught and reared by them in
knowledge and virtue especially do /
congratulate that one of your number
who is thrice blessed and happy today,
having received not only the distinction
and honor Of a graduate but the dear
est treasure this world can possess.
Yesterday, after a long and thorough
preparation, her soul was washed i'm
maculately pure by the holy waters of
baptism yesterday the Holy Ghost
descended into her soul and made her
body His living temple. But this is not
all Today Our dear Lord for the first
time held His triumphant march into
this newly consecrated temple, there to
dwell upon the throne of purity and
love. OIL the holiness of this soul Ny
dear child, may your faith ever be in
creased, your hope strengthened and
your love enkindled into a burning
flame and consume your heart until it
rests secure with your Love in heaven.
Ny dear graduates, another year of
preparation for mature life is closing
and it is with mingled feelings of hap
piness and sorrow that you witness the
close.
Happiness because you have com.
pleted the prescribed course and are
conscious of your accomplishments with
a qualification that crowns every sue
cessful labor. Happiness because you
are free again and about to return to
that dearest place on earth-your home,
there to enjoy pleasure not to be found
elsewhere. All these contribute to make
the day a day of happiness. And yet,
like all joys of this world. there is a
tinge of sorrow mingled with your hap
piness. You are leaving something you
have learned to love. You must part,
and perhaps forever, with these sur
roundings which have become second
home to you, you must part with your
dear aequaintances that have grown in
to the warmest friendship; you must
part with your teachers. those patient,
selfsacrifieing women who have spared
no pains in preparing YOU to meet the
duties and trials of life successfully.
