OF THE EXECUTIVE
(New York SUM


The Sun has printed letters enough
from it's readers to show the wide
spread and intelligent interest which
our fellow citizens are taking in the
proposition that the particular kind of
regulation most needed by our afflicted
republic is the regulation of the Fed
eral Executive.
We quite agree with those of our
correspondents who describe this as
the greatest present issue.
Few of the evils now retarding the
national development and obstructing
the return of prosperity for the people
and clouding the future of business,
big and little, may not be traced di-
rectly or indirectly to the unwarranted
assumption by the Executive of pow-
ers and functions not entrusted to it
by the Constitution. Nowhere else is
there under way at this time so revo-
lutionary and swiftly progressive and
deflnantly audacious a change in the
framework of our Government 1t Is
time that Americans who think beyond
six o'clock tomorrow morning should
consider soberly and justly the certain
consequences of failure to check the
aggression begun unGer Roosevelt, ar
rested to some extent during the years
of Taft, and continued with acceler-
ated vigor and momentum, almost in
the geometrical ratio, during the first
fifteen months of Wilson and Bryan.
Executive power now SO eager to
attempt the regulation of about every
thing else in the world, is itself the
thing which of all things most urgently
calls for Federal regulation.
BY the regulation of the Federal
Executive the Sun means the limita-
tion of executive activities to the con-
stitutional functions, and the restora-
tion of that balance of power among
the three coordinate departments of
the Federal Government on which de-
pends the life of our institutions.

PALMER's ELOQUENT SILENCE
philadelphia Inquirer. |


Mr.. Palmer has given out lengthy
statement concerning the campaign in
Pennsylvania, but singularly enough
he fails to make any comment on the
high price of Democratic politics in
this State. This is a pity, because
there is no doubt that he could give
the people some interesting informa-
tion if he felt so disposed.
A rereading of the returns filed in
the office of the Secretary of the Com
monwealth discloses some facts that
are Illuminating and others that are
puZzling. For instance, it is stated
that the Palmer and Mccormick
League, in addition to it's other activi-
ties, found it desirable to raise $12, 900
on a note, which had among it's in
dorserS one James l. Blakslee. The
severely businesslike statement does
not tell us the identity of the generous
Mr.. Blakslee, but there is person by
that name who occupies the position
of Assistant Postmaster General in the
administration of the Honorable Wood
row Wilson, and it would not. perhaps,
be bad guess to assume that the two
Blakslees are one and the same man.
This may be severe shock to those
persons who have supposed that all of
the men connected with the Wilson
regime were dreamers. The President
may live in the clouds and most of the
members of his Cabinet may reside in
Dreamland, but we have the satisfac-
ton of knowing that at least one of
the officeholders is a practical man,
and that he comes from Pennsylvania.
But IL that Is clear, there are some
other things that are not so self
evident. For example, dispatch from
Harrisburg states that in Mr.. McCor-
mick's personal account, fled some
time ago, he charges himself with
1900 given to the Palmer and McCor-
mick League, while in the statement
of receipts by the league he is credited
with only $1,000. Which is correct?
might readily straighten out this dis
crepancy. But then what difference
does a measly little thousand dollars
make in a primary campaign where
$500 have been expended?
There are other details that may
prove of absorbing interest to the stu
dent of political economy. Someone
with taste for figures has estimated
that Palmer and Mccormick votes in
Clinton county cost approximately
s1.50 each, while in another county
they cost less than a dollar apiece. 1t
is also shown that one of the most gen.
erous contributors In Clinton county Is
a man who has just been appointed to
a postmastership in that section. This,
of course, Is purely a coincidence but
1t is very interesting and instructive
one.
However. take them In their en-
tirety. the returns made to the Secre-
tary of the Commonwealth prove the
high cost OF securing Democratic nomi-
nations. 1t seems passing strange that
the men who spent the largest sums
of money should have been the candi-
dates of the Wilson administration.
frJN. Il I~I u
horror of campaign contributions. will
puzzle many good citizens who are
anxious to take the statements of the
administration at their face value.

THE STATE CAMPAIGN
Pittsburgh Gazette-Times1

u it'SpurSn GaZette-TimeSl
The tentative decision to defer
Epenins ~ OF the pennsylvania campaign
IN nehalf of the Republican State
icset until August 26, at which time
ana IN Pittsburgh, it is proposed that
the platform shall be promulgated. is
olctated by sound reasons. The hot
season is not propitious for campaign
ing. 100 many people are away on
thelr vacations and those at home do
not care to be bothered by the feverish
demonstrations and utterances of po-
lltical contest. Nothing could be
gained by beginning the battle now
ana noth1ng will be lost by waiting
until TWO months and more later
Beside, the struggle this year in
pennsylvania is peculiar. Two parties
are hghting the Republicans and
neither can succeed, or hope to hand
victory to the other. without drawing
from the Republican strength. The
republican platform, therefore, not
withstanding, that between elections
much is said foolishly of the incon-
sequence of platforms, becomes a
matter of first magnitude. The decla-
ratlons of May are less likely to har-
mon1ze with the conditions or meet
the demands of October than the rec
ommendatins and pledges of late Au-
gust, Speaking nationally, the Re-
publican party is of the minority, as
indeed it was in the State two years
ago. Hence while technically 1t is on
the defensive in the campaign of this
year. and presumably represents a
majority of Pennsylvania voters in the
States. it is necessary that it shall
take an affirmative and aggressive DO
sition, and not be content with mere
negation and denunciation. Having
ticket strong in it's personnel, it is
imperative that the platform shall not
only fit the nominations, but that it
shall be right up with the political
developments of the year and in that
respect commend itself alike to the
Wavering and the regular
The situation calls for prudent
handling and skillful management. To
recover from the misfortunes of 1919
especially with a powerful national
administration operating from the
White House down in the interest of
the ancient enemy, will require hard
work and perfect organization, and
above all there must be no over-confi-
dence or ill-considered commitments
Already the other parties are embar-
rassed by their platforms, and it is
well that the Republicans should pro-
ceed with care and deliberation.

'NtE meetlng OF the RepupllcdI
county committee on Saturday
i should provide the opponents OF
the party in Dauphin county
with food for thought. Not only was
it the largest ever held in the history
of the organization, but it was marked
by good feeling and perfect accord.
Harmony" is often an ill-used and
over-worked word as applied to poll
tics. Very often 1t means simply that
an overwhelming or ruthless majority
has taken everything there is to take
from the minority and then forced the
minority to keep quiet about it. That
was not the case on Saturday, how
ever. The committees deliberations
were harmonious in the best sense of
the word.
william H. Horner, James z. Lentz,
Mark Mumma, AL. S. Cooper and the
remainder of the officers were re-
elected. because they deserved to be
and because the committee desired it
so. They have shown their mettle in
past campaigns, they know the county
better, perhaps, than any other men
who might have been chosen for the
places, and their residences are so well
scattered that every portion of the
county has proper representation.
The election of Frank A. Smith to
succeed the late Charles f. Meyer as
State committeeman takes into the
deliberations of that committee a
staunch and able Republican. Mr..
Smith was county chairman during
the strenuous days of. the Taft cam
paign and the splendid showing he
made under those difficult circum-
stances mark him as a leader who will
give. good account of himself in the
field of State politics.
One of the most encouraging fea-
lures of the meeting was the pres
ence of so many young men. The new
rules, giving fullest freedom of actiyi-
ties and opportunities to anybody hav-
ing party aspirations, are doubtless
responsible for this 1t is a good sign
when the younger men of the party
take such interest in its affairs.
All told, the meeting of Saturday
indicates that the Republicans of
Dauphin county are awake to the i'm
portance of the coming campaign.
They realize that they must stand
shoulder to shoulder, instead of per-
mitting a division of their forces as
they did in 1912, and prospects are
bright for one of the biggest Republi-
can majorities in the history of the
district.

A LAND OF OPPORTUNITY

r Under the title What Italians
Are Doing For the Pennsylvania
Railroad" the publicity de-
partment of that company has
issued an illustrated publication, the
study of which should be an inspira-
ton to any young foreigner coming
to this country in search of an oppor-
tunity for advancement. There are
11,000 Italians employed on the road.
Twenty years ago there were but very
few. There are in all about 100000
employees on the Pennsylvania Rail-
road east of Pittsburgh and Erie.
Italians form more than one-four-
teenth of the total number.
Italy is represented in practically
every department of the railroad, and
each day these men are making their
impression. Twenty years ago all of
the Italians employed by the company
were laborers. To-day many of them
hold positions of trust and RESPONSE
bility, due possibly 20 a great extent
to their learning the English language.
There are at the present time on the
lines east of Pittsburgh seventy-five
Italian track foremen-a position of
much importance in this day of heavy
trains and many Of them; there are
1877 italian assistant foremen, while
many others are making rapid ad-
vancement in the machine shops as
gang leaders and machinists. Promo
ton is always open to the man who
works hard and improves himself.
The company quotes number of
specific instances to show how indi-
yiduals have worked their way from

HURRAH FOR THE RAIN
BY Wing Dinger


It's strange how Nature does her work;
Sometimes 1t rains like sin
Day In day out week after week,
And makes us all stay in.
And other times it seems as though
It's never going to rain;
Ihings get so dry. we'd give up fun
To see it wet again.
Now take this year, with every sign
OF record crops, 1t looked
AS though most everything that grows
Would by the sun be cooked.
But Nature knows what's best, I guess,
And no doubt she was right
In holding off the rain so long,
Then sending us last night
such copious draughts, that am sure
p, The land here'bout was drenched
10 such extent that plants and grain
Had their thirst fully quenched.
So don't let's kick and groan and sigh
BECAUSE tbs dry or wet,
For Nature will work out her plans
TO help her sons, you bet.
