anybodys election it is good time to line up with the
people who are being abused and vifed They undoub

Governor West because of the unfairness of the fight
waged against them by the Oregonan and Telegram and

Rev. Father Molloy, an American priest Of evident
Irish descent and who has for years been stationed in
New Zealand gives the lie to statements of German cruel
ty and pays glowing tribute to their tender and humane
treatment of British prisoners which was better even
than the treatment given their own wounded Among the
charges and counter charges of interested parties the
statement of an unpreudced onlooker must carry great
weight and be practically convincing The truth no doubt
is that outside of few isolated cases. the present war Is
as humane as other wars and perhaps as humane as hu
man butchery can be made Solicous crpplng and af-
feconate assassination are sentimentaly beautiful but
practically impossible.

HIS MASTERS W0'

Our old friend Bill has woke np from his letlrargy. It is supposed that g voice was heard few days ago that sounded to Bill like the voice of his master. William evidently has seen his master hold up his finger, and barks accordingly. In Q large long editorial i'll his famous paper Will evidently would like to convey th e impression that Il ( speaks for an immense proportion of tue population o this district, when i Il fact an immense proportion of the population of this district looks upon Bills paper as represent the x. (. Co. and consider able portion of the dead line. Ii no doabt true that ths district attornev's $ office, conducted as it i $ at present, is a menace to corportions that tries to es- cape from paying their lawful taxes and also to those debased and degenerate characters who are engaged in the illicit sale of hooch and the debauching of nat i've girls. That portion of the Grand Jury report asking that the charge be reduced would if carried out result in allowing these moral lepers to ply their nefarious trade more freely.

Rxum, Philapthropist, Sh1tins |: These are the men who walked ORt OG th9 hall at Valdez and held 8 Enmp coa. vention m Moose Hall The dslegates elected by them to go to Baltimore were:
 John H. Cobb of Juneau,
 Al Daily of Seattle,
 I'd Dunn of California,
 ia, Smith of Seattle,
 I. F. Strong then of Europe
 l.. I Erwin of Fairbanks.
 They ~ere seaseEi by Murphy under a pledge to support Parker than Bryan for temporary chairman, Snd the delegates
  elected by the fifty-seven Democrats who remained in the hall at the Valdez con- vention were refused seats in the Bait imore convention because they were uu- animously in favor of William Jennings Bryan for temporary chairman of the convention. Al Daly, formerly of New York, and member of the Tammany Club, was sent to Alaska to see that tue Murphy delegates were elected to attend the Baltimore convention, iu order that thesparty organisation might be co&stroll- ed by Murphy.
 The men whose names are at the head of this article and the delegates they sent to Baltimore were engaged in the same seryile work that the Murphy members of the New York Legislature were engaged in when they removed Sulzer because Murphy told them to- The AlasAa delegation voted with Mur- phy ou every ballot thr0ughe4t the en- tire session s4 the Baltimore convention.
 The so-called split" Il the Valdez convention was II ot local question, or a personal difference between members of the convention. Bayan requested that Al Daly be not returned as National committeeman from Alaska and that the delegates to the Baltimore convention be progressives who would vote for pro- gressive for temporary chairman of the convention, while MuEphy commanded Al Daly, his representative, to see that men were sent who would do as he, Murphy, told them. Daily made a pitiful failure i Il the Valdez convention, but Murphy owned the National committee AS dOoOlOGCIN dS IIC ONuCu LIlC 4NGW I GOIk k legislature, and defeated Bryan for tem- porary chairman, with and by the help of the Alaska delegation.
 Now the question arises, will tn C Democrats o f Alaska rid themselves of the Murphy Democracy. as the New York Democrats rid themselves of Aur- phyism i'll that state at the last election, or will they submit 10 gang of office seeking politicians, lawyers, and men of other shady associations Of tue thirty four Democrats who stood for the i'm peachment of Sulzer because Murphy told them to, twenty nine of them were defeated for Ee-eleGtion. Alaska ought to make 1t unanimous n the externliu- ation of this bunch of Nnrphyites that are trying to bring Alaska under the yoke of the ''boss.''

INSPECTION TRIPS

~ DETERMINATION of the City
Commissioners to take frequent
IL inspection trips in and about
Harrisburg by auto is one OF
the most sensible decisions the council
of five has reached since taking yer
the governmental reins of the city.
In no other way could the commits
sioners get as adequate an idea of the
needs of the various parts of the city.
Opportunities and ideas for neighbor-
hood development will doubtless thus
occur to the body which ordinarily
never would. In little jaunts over
Harrisburg streets and parks the five
can doubtless get their heads together
better over knotty questions then they
can in their formal Tuesday afternoon
meetings. No five men can be bumped
around over the roads long without
becoming just a bit more friendly and
just a bit closer to each other.
In short, the spirit of teamwork
spirit as necessary to the smoothness
of governmental machinery as ever ii
is for the making of a pennant-win-
ming baseball machine-wilI doubtless
be more strongly developed by such
trips. Take them often, o, Ye Five,
take them often!

HlDE j. washington Dogue,
wv Congressman from Philadel-
Wv phia, may be making COM
paign ammunition when he
suggests that all postal employees, lot
ter carriers included, be given a half
holiday each week during the summer
as Postmaster Frank C. Sites, of this
city, yesterday hinted-nevertheless
Logue's suggestion is one worthy of
thought and consideration.
All other government employees are
given their Saturday afternoons dur
ing the hot summer months, and it is
only fair that the letter men, who
trudge day in and day out over their
tiresome routes, should be allotted
some privileges along with their more
or less fortunate fellows who toll in
the Federal offices.
Certain it is tina the carriers earn
ably no workman is more faithful than
he who daily, brings to your door the
communications of your friends, or
your enemies, as the case may be. If
your wife is at the seashore and writes
to let you know how little money she
has left, who brings you the hint to
send her a bit more Of the stuff that
makes the mare GOETHE letterman!
If your rich uncle in Dakota passes
out of this mundane existence and
thoughtfully leaves behind a million or
so with you az his sole heir, who brings
you the glad word? The letterman!
If the insurance company, or the
butcher, or the goldman, or the doctor
sends you a reminder Of certain little
debts, who is it places the welcome
envelope with the bill under the door?
The letterman!
Probably you think because he is SO
regular and never fails you his job is
roses. If you believe that get him to
let you hike along some warm after
noon and you will find that the bricks
in the city streets resemble roses only
in that they are red.
Perhaps 1t would be a little difficult
to have a uniform postal ~half-holiday,
as Postmaster Sites says, but there is
no reason, as Mr.. Sites further sug-
gests. that each postmaster could not
determine for himself what day would
be best for each city. Here, for in
stance, most of the business places are
closed on Friday afternoons during the
summer months. In Philadelphia Sat-
urday afternoon is the usual half
holiday. In other cities of this State
Thursday is the day assigned for the
weekly lay-of. 1t would, of course.
be logical to let the letter carriers off
on the day when business is nearest a
standstill.
To grant the half-holiday, however.
1t would be necessary hat business
men and private citizens as we'll should
consent to missing the regular deliv-
cries on the afternoon set aside for the
benefit of the carriers

CARRYING WATER ON BOTH sHoUL-
DERS

[From the Philadelphia Inquirer.1
The. great conference between the
men has taken place and a wondering
world is informed that both sides are
entirely satisfied with the results Of
their conversation. The details of the
talk are kept quiet. but the President
permits 1t to be said that che will not
oppose Tammany men who support his
fb Sm1 YisitGrs Iaft tb 1t W Is ,fep 2nT that
dazed condition. And well they might
be, because Mr.. Wilson is such an ex-
pert in the use of the English language
that 1t frequently requires the greatest
mental concentration to discover just
what he means.
In this instance it is stated thai the
President has decided not to interpose
any obstacles to the denomination and
reelection of the New York members
Of Congress who have supported the
policies" of the party, no matter what
their State or local affiliations may be-.
This statement is supplemented by the
following announcement from the
White House:
''The President made it clear that
while his attitude did not necessarily
mean that he would accept the endorse
ments Of partie 1lar members of Con-
whom he does appoint will not be al
lowed to fight loyal Democrats with
the influence of the administration"
Now. If some kind friend will explain
just what this means he will earn the
undying gratitude of several hundred
thousand Democrats in different parts
of this United States. What is a loyal
Democrat?" Is it the man that fol-
lows Mr.. Wilson, right or wrong, or is
it the man that takes the party plat
form as his guide? Will the Demo-
Gratis who were courageous enough to
vote for their own country as against
Great Britain in the matter of the
Panama Canal tolls be regarded as
loyal or disloyal Democrats? And If
Mr.. Wilson helps the Tammany Demo-
Gratis who, proved their loyalty by vot-
ing for all of the administration meas
ures. won't he be the friend and ally
of Tammany to that extent?
All of these questions may be puz-
cling to the man who wishes to believe
in the Presidents sincerity. but they
are easily answered by the unbiased
student of American politics. Mr.. Will
son in this, as in many former in
stances, has placed himself in the posi-
ton of the man who is trying to carry
water on both shoulders.
