ROMA PULLED
OFF THE ROCKS
Big Italian Boat, After Terrible
Experience. Arrived Safely
in Port

Providence, r. l.. Feb. 1S.-The
Fabre Line passenger steamer Roma,
which freed herself from a ledge off
No Mans Land on which she struck
during a blizzard, arrived at quaran-
tine yesterday afternoon listing aesv-
lily 10 port
The Roma got off the rocks under
her own steam after being fast for
six hours. The vessel pounded heav-
lily but this helped her release her
self. When the steamer slid off the
ledge into deep water her stern
struck another submerged rock.
At the time the Roma freed her
self the revenue cutter Itasca was
nearby and the steamers Carmania
and Stephano and the revenue cutter
Acushnet were offering their services
by wireless.
The Roma carried 275 passengers,
Of whom eighty were women and
twenty four children.
Officers of the steamer sail that
the passengers behaved splendidly
and that the discipline OF the crew
was excellent.

A Really RESPONSIVE Government

VITHEN. in l775 and thereabouts. a goodly
w proportion of the Inhabitants OF the
Thirteen Colonies threw off the yoke OF Brit
ish bondage they thought, and their descend
ants after them, that they had acquired
considerable superiority over the rest of the
Anglo Saxon people. 1t seems, however, that
IN political matters the English trust them
selves much more implicitly than Americans
do. Their Constitution varies according to
the will OF Parliament
1t was proposed yesterday in the House OF
Commons that the duration of the present
Parliament be extended to 1917, and it is
quite likely that the several parties will agree
TO such continuance. The Government Of
Ireland act and the Welsh Church act ac-
cordns 10 the probable arrangement. will
be simply relegated TO the future. and all at
tempts 10 force a general election on domestic
issues will he aba ndoned
After the "Pensionary Parliament had sat
from 1860 10 1877 and lost all touch with the
country another Parliament limited the life
Of each assembly to three years. Then the
Septennial act prolonged its possible life to
seven years and by tho fvs-year clause OF
the Parliament act OF 1911 the term was
reduced. Parliament rarely dies a nat
ural death, and now comes the generally IA
vored proposal to prolonG the present one.
which has been in session since 1910 TO 1917.
That means, of course, the extension OF the
Cabinet tenure for one year over the statu-
tory limit. Where. except IN England,
can be found governmental system so
quickly adjustable TO the needs and exigen-
cies OF the time? No slow moving machinery

Real Penrose Win the Nation

AIR. PENRosE could not be elected United
1N1 states Senator from Illinois In Califor-
mia his candidacy would be ridiculed. In
Maine not a corporals guard would rally to
his support. In Ohio he would be treated as
his prototype. Foraker. was treated. In Mis-
souri, it would not take 20 minutes TO count
the votes he could get. In Maryland, another
doubtful state. it would be Penrose last with
none Of the other candidates in sight. So
cialst would poll more votes than he in Wis
consin and Iowa. In Washington there would
be an avalanche of women's ballots polled
against him. Where East West, in any
doubtful state, could Penrose command
following?
Yet this is the man who. pleading for pro-
lection refuses to step aside and permit some
other man who could really do something for
protection to go to Washington. It is mock
cry Of reason to assume that the rest Of the
nation would follow PENNSYLVANIA in devotion
to such leader. 1t is sheer madness to sup
pose that there can he any rehabilitation of
the Republican party so long as he is one
OF its accredited leaders. It is proper for men
whose business is threatened TO dedicate their
work and influence TO the restoration of Re-
publican policy in Washington, but every ef-
fort they make will be futile il they insist
upon using as their representative man
whose name is identified with the most thor
ouEhly discredited and hated system Of poll
tics in America.
The national Republican party has many
enemies and Mr.. Penrose is the greatest Of
them all In his own state and in his own
town he has alienated the Independent Re-
publican press In no other Commonwealth
is there any Republican newspaper with any
pretentions whatever 10 independence that
would even consider apoog2ing for or ad-
vocatine Penrosesm. They know it for what
it is They have no doubts about the cuckoo
being in the robins nest. Only in Pennsylva-
MIA is the party expected 10 be Little Red
Riding Hood Elsewhere and here too the
alluring front of the house OF Penroseism
does not deceive observers, They have also

DISGRACE TO THE STATE

To tho Editor Of the EveninG Ledger:
Sir--I am a reader Of the Public Ledger and
have always admired its fearless stand on
questions OF public interest and its inde-
pendence in politics OF late have been in
terested and concerned as to what stand the
Evening Ledger would take edtorially on
the candidacy of Boes Penrose. In view of the
fact that your paper vigorously opposed his
nomination. and editorially declared that PEN
rosesm was a moral issue, rejoice that you
decided to take Il stand against his election in
favor OF Palmer
With the wide circulation which the Evening
Ledger has throughout the State 1t would be
an important factor in bringing about the
defeat of man who is a disgrace to the fair
name Of this Commonwealth.

Transit Juggernaut to Hold.Backs.

Tn THE letter sent out by James G.. Ea H.
1four and John NJ. Fugelsanger, urging the
stockholders OF the Union Traction Company
to protest to the compauy's directorate
against acceptance of the suggestion relative
TO rapid transit made by the Rapid Transit
Company, appears this statement:
"A committee OF the Board Of Directors Of
the Rapid Transit Company has come before
the Board of Directors OF the Union Traction
Company with the proposal that Union Trac-
ton stockholders shall give the Rapid Tran
sit Company financial support to the extent
of supplying funds for the extension and
equipment of existing lines AND FOR THE
EQUIPMENT OF THE Now PROPOSED
CITY BUILT AND OWNED SYSTEM OF
RAPID TRANSIT LINES
The agreement resulting from conferences
between the Department OF city Transit and
the Rapid Transit Company, under the cap
ton. Union Traction Cooperation" says:
"The Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company
will rely upon the Union Traction Company
to aid in securing ONLY SUCH FUNDS AS
WILL BE REQUIRED FOR THE NORMAL
EXTENSION OF THE EXISTING SYSTEM
the requirements for which will be greatly
1essened by the establishment of the new
high speed lines"
The discrepancy between the two utterances
Is obvious ard vital. The Union Traction
Company has not been asked and will not
be asked to provide funds of any sort or in
any amount Tor the proposed new system
The Union Traction Company, OF course, is
at perfect liberty to decline to participate in
the program. 1t may, if it wishes. forego the
guarantees offered by the city against loss
of net income occasioned by diversion OF traf-
fic to the high-speed lines and the abolition
of exchange tickets. But the Union Traction
Company cannot prevent the achievement OF
rapid transit in Philadelphia There is no
company that can do that.
The thousands OF workers, men and women,
who are paying six cents a day more than
they ought to pay for conveyance to and
from their work and the thousands of others
who enjoy a tive-cent fare, but lose pre-
cious minutes daily through slow service.
are not interested in the details Of finance
They only know that the municipality is am
ply rich enough to accomplish the project.
They will sweep politicians or any other set
OF men aside, if necessary, and use their
votes to get what they want. Public opinion

movement has already become Juggernaut

An Ism" That Hamstrings Protection

A DEMOCRAT has been elected Governor
n OF Maine. The wave OF revolt has not
subsided sufficiently to throw this naturally
party column. The Progressive allegiance
proved strong enough, despite tremendous
losses, to prevent Republican success.
The result is typical OF what may be ex-
pected in other States if the party does not
kick out OF leadership the men who were
responsible in the first place for the wrec:
of the institution and who are standing now
in the manner OF dogs in the manger, in
sisting that the wreck and ruin they have
LEFT behind them constitute a reason for
their retention in power. There are thou
sands of Progressives who are stll good Re-
publicans, but they will not come back into
camp until they know that it has been tumi-
gated and cleaned.
The elections in November are merely
preparatory. The real fight will be IN 1915
The Republican party has this year the op-
poYtunity 20 prove its moral competency, its
Independence. it's conValescence. The way to
the White House is straight, not crooked.
and there is not enough argument in the
world 10 convince the people OF other Com
Tnonwealths that Penroseism travels on the

these findings are recorded and are of great
value. They cover the chiids history up to-,

valuable data be turned over to the Juvenile
Court for use in cases OF delinquency occur
