JUDGE KUNKEEs CANDIDACY

4 LII Central Pennsylvania and
n some of the outlying counties
1 = were represented at the meet
ing of judges and lawyers in
Harrisburg yesterday at which Judge
Kunkel was endorsed for the State
Supreme Court bench The hundreds
of attorneys who have practiced be-
fore him see in Judge Kunkel a man
fitted by every essential qualification
for the high tribunal of the State. II
is very fitting and should have great
weight with the lay voters that these
men, who know him most Intimately
and are best fitted to judge, should
join together in a public ENDORSEMENT
of his candidacy.
Judge Kunkel's campaign for the
nomination was conducted under ex-
treme difficulty and was beset by MANY
complications of a political nature that
no longer exist His path lies straight
to the Supreme bench. He is we'll
known as the man who tried the Capi-
tol conspiracy cases and his labor
record is clean. He has served the
public as legislator. public prosecutor
and judge. He is experienced in every
branch of the law and an authority
on Pennsylvania legislation of all

NOW A FREIGHT TAX

T il out of the frying pan and into
the fire for the Wilson Administra-
ton nowadays. Every move seems
to involve the unfortunate party OF
negation in a whirlpool of trouble, and
nothing has been more embarrassing
to the President and his party leaders
than the proposed war tax on railroad
freight
Paternalism has run wild since
President Wilson assumed control at
Washington, and the taxing of rail-
road freight is regarded as another
step and a longer one in the direc-
ton of government ownership. 1t is
also pointed out that such tax is un-
equal, because If freight is to be taxed
then water carriers should also share
the burden in common with land car
riers. Otherwise the former would
gain traffic in no small degree at the
expense of the latter.
It is also urged that this tax would
increase the cost of living and the
cost of doing business; that If the prin-
ciple of freight taxation is estab-
lished the taxation of passenger re-
ceipts will inevitably follow; that II
would fasten upon the railroads the
odium of the tax collector, and the
railroads are already loaded with
weighty responsibilities of their own
Another reason urged against the
proposed tax is that it would foster a
sentiment unfavorable to the rail-
roads because the public either will
not or cannot discriminate between
necessary revenue increase and tax
imposition. Developments of the last
few years have shown that the rail-
roads need the good will of the people
as much as the people need the in
valuable services of the railroads.
Business men are already burdened
sufficiently without placing upon them
the additional load of higher freight
rates Consumers must eventually
bear the load which is being imposed
upon the public utilities and, as has
been stated by an expert, business is in
no condition to stand such a strain as
would be put upon 1t.
1t Is IuIIhel pOlHtSu OuI IhaI IL
railroad rates are to be increased al
all, the railroads themselves should
have the money instead of paying il
into a treasury depleted because OF
the ruinous reductions in the tariff
duties by a Congress which seems to
believe it is better for Americans to
be dependent on Europe for what
they use than to produce it them
selves"
Those whom the gods would de-
stroy they first make mad" and the
madness of the theorists who are now
running this government is shown in
one proposal after another for the
destruction of public confidence and
prosperity.

suggestion of the Philadelphia
IL North American that he could
have the support of that news
paper in his campaign for Governor,
II he deserted the other Republican
candidates named on the same ticket
with him at the May primaries, beyond
doubt will win him thousands of
votes of men who admire a candidate
not only honest in his convictions but
courageous enough to stand by them.
The letter is straightforward to the
point OF bluntness and for vigor of ex-
preston and keen grasp of essentials
closely resembles some of the political
utterances of Colonel Roosevelt. Evil
IDENTIFY DR.. Brumbaugh is we'll able to
take care of himself under any cir
cumstances.
DR.. Brumbaugh is correct in his
conclusions. The North American was
in it's offer of support simply seeking
an excuse to hop from the sinking
ship of Progressivism to the scarcely
less wabbly planks of the Mccormick
wing of the Democratic party. Dr.
Brumbaugh would have branded him
self as a traitor to the party that
named him and would have placed
himself in the class with Mccormick
who stands ready to go to any length
to crafty his ambition for public
office. had he yielded to the absurd
proposal of the Philadelphia news
paper that is now trying to square
itself between free trade and pro-
lection.
But whatever attitude the North
American may take. It cannot dodge
the fact that 1t has held up DR.. Brum-
baugh to the voters of the State as
individually the best qualified candi-
date in the field at this time for the
Governorship of Pennsylvania. 1t has
admitted that his natural ability,
training, acquaintance with the needs
and ideals of Pennsylvania and un-
questioned honesty of purpose fit him
as no other before the public at this
. time is fitted for the high office of
chief executive of the State. 1t will
not do, therefore. for that newspaper
to turn its support to a second-rate
simply BECAUSE us puDllSn-
ers have grievance against some
other man on the ticket upon which
DIR. Brumbaugh's name happens to
appear.
DIR. Brumbaugh has been recon-
mended by the North American to its
readers as a personally fit man for
Governor. and therefore honest and
truthful. DIR. Brumbaugh himself has
said that he owes nothing to anybody
that he is his own boss and that he
will strive with all his might for the
passage of local option. child labor
and other important legislation. 1t is
but fair. then, we submit, to take
DR. Brumbaugh at his word, and no
doubt the voters will do it.

DIR. Brumbaugh is increasing in
strength and favor wherever he goes,
and 1t seems to be a foregone conclu-

the indications will SO clearly point to
the tremendous vote of the Republi-

success of his campaign will have dis
appeared. His manly and straight
forward course since he began his
canvass of the State has won over
thousands of voters who were in doubt
as to the sort of man the Republicans
had nominated for Governor. His
strong constructive and optimistic
speeches have impressed the men of
all parties and his honest declarations
| in favor of the important issues of
the present campaign have convinced
voters generally of his eminent fitness
for the great office he seeks.
Even those advocates of local op-
