TOO EARLY TO JUr CE

"HE first anniversary OF the inau-
guration of President Wilson has
\ given his admirers occasion for
most uproariously jubilating
over what they regard as the splendid
achievements of the Democratic ad-
ministration of national affairs.
without desire TO minimize any
good thing the President has done or
any reform that he has accomplished,
is II asking too much to be permitted
to withhold judgment until the lapse
of time shall give US better perspec-
tive Of happenings at Washington and
until the results of legislation enacted
during the past year shall have be-
come apparent? There is an old ad-
age that he who laughs last laughs
best, and Republican smile or two
maysnot be so much matter of the
dim and distant future as some of our
Democratic friends seem to imagine.
In the first place. nobody can as yet
foresee the full effects of the Under
wood tariff act. That business has
suffered under 1t is apparent, but
whether or not 1t will be permanently
injured remains to be seen. There are
Indications that in this respect the low
tariff will not be the unlimited bless
ing that its sponsors declare it will be.
At all events, II 1t has not injured us
much, neither has 1t brought about the
sharp and immediate reduction of
prices that the President and his
friends claimed for it when they were
making their election promises. Hav-
ing failed in this respect, where do we
as a people benefit thereby and why
all this rejoicing over the lowering of
the tariff wall?
The income tax law is masterpiece
of confusion. If 1t had been designed
to render its operation difficult and
make possible all manner of court ap-
peals as to legality, the job could not
have been done better. Whether or
not 1t will provide the government
with the revenues necessary for con-
duct of its rapidly increasing expendi-
lures or leave the national treasury to
lace u uSuClt IcIIldluS 10 De seen. III
is too early to judge.
The new bank law seems to be all
right in the main and will doubtless
work out to the benefit of national
banking conditions. but it must not be
forgotten that this bill is not entirely
q Democratic measure. and that had
1t been passed in the form originally
intended the effects would have been
quite as bad as they now appear to be
good.
There Is just one activity of the
President that has not been touched
! upon by his newspaper admirers. They
have had nothing to say concernine
political activities. In this line he has
heen as eminently successful as any
partisan boss ever was. He has reno.

THE MCUAIG LECTURES

HE McCuaig lectures, which came
to a close on Wednesday even
ing have unquestionably made a
deep impression in Harrisburg.
Coming Immediately after the talk on
sex purity by DR.. Howard A. Kelly,
Dr. McCuaig found the ground broken
for him and the people much inter-
ested in the subject he came to dis
cuss. Harrisburg is notoriously neg
lectful OF the speaker who comes with
message" of any sort. Even the
worldfamous Dwight L. Moody, who
drew thousands and tens of thousands
the country over. was permitted to ad-
dress a mere handful of people here.
This is something to be ashamed of.
but 1t is true. All the more notable
is it, then, that DIR. McCuaig' drew so
many to hear him during the nearly
three weeks he was here. Magnetic
speaker that he is. he could not have
held his audiences so unless there was
in the minds of the masses a new and
deep interest in the subject matter of
his lectures.

If Republican newspaper were
to print an appeal to Bull Moosers to
return to the Republican ranks on en-

papers would declare it was violating
the principals of the primary law.
Senator Penrose said yesterday
that all O'Neil was after was to catch
votes.
-Bonniwell should not be so severe
on the game of using patronage to
catch votes for the White House
ticket. Charging misuse of power is a
method reserved only for Democratic
reorganizers before they get in.

SAVING THE susQUEHANNA

~ 9TH the Wilkes Barre Times
X Leader and Scranton Tribune
IL Republican discuss very Cerious-
ly Congressman Moore's recent
speech In Congress In behalf of a
navigable Susquehanna river. They
put it on a purely economical basis
and attempt to show that not only is
the improvement feasible but that
millions of dollars would be saved
yearly to Central Pennsylvania by
opening the river to shipping as far
north as Wilkes Barre.
The Times-Leader quotes authori-
ties to prove that 1915, 100000 a year
In transportation of anthracite coal
would be saved if the river could be
made navigable" from that city to the
Chesapeake Bay. The writer ex-
presses the belief that the numerous
plans for deepening the stream that
have marked the years have been
blocked by Hobbies at Washington
whose interests lie in preventing the
use of the river for navigation on a
large scale.
1t is unquestionably true that If
the Susquehanna could be opened even
to boats of only medium size as far
north as Wilkes Barre, and the old
North Branch canal reopened between
that city and Sayre. hundreds of thou
sands of tons of coal that are now
transported to the seacoast by rail
would be brought down the river in
boats, at a great saving of transpor-
tation charges.
The Tribune Republican, which has
not the same dollar and cent interest
in the project as has the Wilkes Barre
newspaper, nevertheless expresses the
belief that in any event something
ought to be done to rescue the beauti-
full stream, which, from Pittston down,
has become practically a sewer, and
State pride, if nothing else, should be
Interested in saving the Susquehanna.

NEWS

Did you ever stop to consider
that the letters in the word
NEWS stand for the initials of
the four points of the compass.
What the news does is liter
ally to put you in touch with
the four quarters of the whole
world every day in the year and
almost every hour of the day.
The advertising has come to
be an essential part of the news.
1t covers the entire compass of
the business world.
1t tells of the currents of
trade.
1t tells where things are made,
what they are for. and what
they cost.
1t deals with facts-facts that
concern the well being OF the
people.
Take 1t from tho standpoint
of actual helpfulness-and there
is, on the whole, little news in
the newspaper that is as impor-
tant as the advertising.
