It is strange-passing strange-that
the Democratic and Progressive bosses
will persist in declaring that every
thing done by the Republicans in the
way OF indicating proper candidates and
organizing party machinery is the
very essence OF dictation and arbitrary
rule. while what they themselves do is
political virtue and the very essence of
public righteousness Unfortunately
for this sort of weak pretense they
cant fool all Of the people all of the

THE IMMORAL SHOW

TN HAT Harrisburg ministers were
not far wrong in placing the
L stamp of disapproval on the
moving picture show. THE In
side of the White Slave Traffic" is
shown by the fact that a New York
jury has found the producers of that
film guilty of presenting an indecent
exhibition. The jury was out only
-thirty-f1ve minutes. In addressing the
jurors the judge then said:
You are to be congratulated up

countless plays of doubtful merit, of

across the kaleidoscope screen of the
every growing movies" But there are
signs manifest of a change. The

producers because they were losing

The magazines also are beginning
TO display symptoms of noting a
change in public taste. "Everybody's''
announces in large letters on it's cover
page the fact that it prints no sex
muck and even the chief offenders in
this line are reefing their sails before
what their publishers evidently be-
lieve to be a reaction against the
slush that has disgraced the pages of
even some the best and most conserva-
tive periodicals in the country.
Some editors have excused them
selves and tried to delude their read
ers by giving their filthy stories and
exposures" the mask of social up
lift" endeavor. Few of their readers
have been fooled thereby. A nasty
scene in novel or magazine, on the
stage or the moving picture screen is
inexcusable for any reason. Firsthand
knowledge has little spiritual effect
On the other hand, few can read of or
witness the reproduction of such a
scene without injury to himself. 1t is
a healthful sign when producers and
publishers find the immoral show and
the sex novel Improbable.

magazine endorsing the State con-

and that Of Pennsylvania in particu-
lar. Yet, while Colonel Roosevelt is
held In high respect throughout the
anthracite region as a friend of labor,
the State constabulary is condemned
by mine workers who do not fully un-
derstand' its functions. In this The
Outlook and Colonel Roosevelt are
right. No man who complies with the
laws Of the land need have any fear
OF the State police. Any man who is
antagonistic to them lays himself open
to the suspicion of harboring an inten-
ton TO break the law and escape the
consequences.

Washington Dispatches Say That
Judgeship Tangle Is Growing
Worse Daily

Reports submitted to thegexecutive
committee of the Democratic State
committee at yesterdays special meet
ing at the headquarters for considera-
ton of drafts of rules, showed that
not only will the machine have to face
the bitterest fight of years to put over
the Jersey slate for Pennsylvania Dem
ocrats, but that the Palmer Morris
ring confronts opposition in the State
committee. The dissensions of the
Democrats of the State cropped out so
much during the session that members
went away convinced that the war was
going to be to the finish, and that no
matter who was nominated, his
chances of being knitted were excel
lent. Even during the meeting Chair
man Roland S. Morris had to go out
to meet people from various sections
of the State appealing to him to end
quarrels. Half a dozen men came
from York to beg him to take hand
in the York Post Office row, and he
was given some inside tips on the dis
sensions in Berks, Blair and Lancas-
ter counties.
The committee spent several hours
going over the draft of the State rules
to make them conform to the new
primary law, ana realized that 1t
would have to let the State committee
elected next May elect a State chair
man, and that Morris could not hold
on to the end of the year. When
the county rule drafts came up it was
found there were holes in a number
of them, notably Blair county. and
that they would have to be redrawn.
The Allegheny rules were brought in
tenderly by Joe Guffey and John Mar
tin and approved. The Philadelphia
rules were also approved. Chairman
Morris stated that Dauphin county's
machine had not yet presented it's
draft, it being assumed that Herr
Moeslein Is too busy working for the
State to bother with such details as
rules.
