were priests in long black robes
adorned with white crosses, and tall
black caps. Behind them came the
mobiles of the tribe and chief priests,
bearing the newly elected chieftain
upon Il barrow hung with disks of
gold. His naked body was annointed
with resinous gums and covered all
over with gold dust. This was the
gilded man. Arrived at the shore,
the gilded chief and his companions
stepped upon balsa and proceeded
upon it to the middle of the lake.
There the chief plunged into the
water and washed off his metallic
covering, while the assembled COM
pany, with shouts and sound of in
struments, threw in the gold and
jewels brought as offerings. The
ceremony completed, the chief re-
turned to the shore and all went
back to the village to cose the festi-
val with dancing and feasting. Thus
was the occasional ceremonial of n
primitive tribe of Indians the real
basis of a legend which passed from
tongue to tongue until it lured men
from far beyond the seas with the
vain hope OF conquest and of spoils.

that "a chieftain who was gilded for

On this high plain dwelt the agri-
cultural village Indians known as the
Muysca. They wove cotton cloth
mined emeralds, and also salt These
products were exchanged for the gold
of other tribes, and by thrift and in
dustry the precious metal was accu-
mu1ated to superfluity on the table
land of Bogota. On the plateau were
several lakes which were regarded by
the Muyscas as holy places. Each
of them was the supposed seat of a spe-
cial divinity, to which gold and en-
eralds were offered by throwing
them into the water. Among these

walton of the beauty of the city is the
proposed coal wharf from a point
midway between Walnut and Market
streets to a point south of Market.
There is no more necessity for this
wharf than there was for the construc-
ton of the big concrete abutment be-
yond the eastern line of Front street
at Mulberry, but both illustrate the
need of constant watchfulness on the
part of those who have the improve
ment of the city at heart to prevent
return to the days when any old
thing would do in any old place be-
cause it suited the convenience of cor
porations and others out of joint with
the improvement plans.
1t may be too late to correct the
mistake of the giant abutment at
Front and Mulberry streets, but it is
not too late to prevent another coal
wharf at Market street, and we trust
City Council will do so.

"SLUSH" FUNDS

WYE are hearing much from
N/ Washington nowadays re-
" garding the purpose of Dem
ocrats to investigate the alleg-
ed "slush" funds said to have been
used in the primary campaign of Sen
ator Penrose, but 1t would be more in
teresting to the people of Pennsylva-
mia to know how much money was ex-
pended for A. Mitchell Palmer
through the Palmer Mccormick Lea
que and in other ways. Palmer has
not yet made answer to the Pennsyl-
vania Protective Union, which non
partisan organization of manufacture
ers and business men he has accused
of large expenditures in behalf of
Senator Penrose. Richard Campion,
the treasurer of the Union, has made
an answer which will be submitted
to the United States Senate by Sena-
tor Oliver with the request that it be
referred to the same committee that
has under consideration Palmers
loose charges.
Palmer and the little men around
him have mistaken the temper of the
voters of Pennsylvania, as they will
soon discover. Their campaign OF
abuse and misrepresentation and four
flushing is going to return to plague
them.

a RRESPONDENT of the NeN
IN York sun takes President VIII
1 = son sharply to task for his lac
of frankness in addressing Con
gress on the proposed war tax O
500, 100000. He quotes thus from tn
President:
1 need not tell you to what this
falling off is due. 1t is due in chief
part not to the reductions recently
made in the customs duties, but to
the great decrease In importations,
and this is due to the extraordi-
nary extent of the Industrial area
affected by the present war in Eu-
Gnquestionably the falling off
since August is largely due to
that. but to say that war which
tions prior TO July is as absurd
as the complaint of the wolf against
the lamb in Aesop's Fables.
The Treasury report shows that
for the twelve months ended June
80 1913, the total imports of mer-
Chandise were S1,S13, ,00S, ,234. and
that for the twelve months ended
June 30. 1914, they Increased over
account of the decreased duties in
force under the Underwood bill be-
tween October g. 1913, and June so,
1914, the duties collected fell from
30. 1913, to S292, 12S,52S, or a loss of
S26,013Sl6.
President Wilson, in order to ac-
count for this proposed increase in
taxation of 500, O0O, 600. ought also
to have called attention to the fact
that the ordinary disbursements of
the Government had risen under his
adminiStra tion from S6S2.770. T06 in
1913 to $500, ,559.24S in 1914. or an
increase Of S17.75S,542. In other
words. owing to the increased ordi-
nary disbursements for 1914 and
the decreased customs revenues we
had shortage of $43,T72. .35S prior
to July l. 1914. We had absorbed
the entire personal income tax of
about s2S0oO,0O and still were
$4,000 900 short of our financial
situation of 1913
President Wilson. or any ono else,
can readily verify these figures at
the Treasury Department. OF
course, Congress will vote the
President the extra st0O.0 600
that he asks. but It does seem to me
that he owed the country the duty
of ordinary accuracy in statement
even though that accuracy would
have been reflection upon his ad-
ministration.

THE MAN BEHIND THE LIE

From the Pittsburgh Gazette Times !
Clifford Pinchot, Washington party
candidate for United States Senator
from Pennsylvania, yesterday issued "a
statement in which he said of Senator
Penrose. the Republican nominee for
that office:
''IIe has used the power of his po-
litical organization to defeat good leg
islation sorely needed by the work
ingmen. There has never been a tinre
when he has not favored the special
interests at the expense of labor. No
decent child labor bill has ever been
able to pass through a legislature
controlled by Penrose."
On September 10, 1910, Colonel
Roosevelt, speaking at Exposition
Hall. Pittsburgh, said:
You have some admirable laws on
the statute books here in Pennsylva-
mia. Take the way that you have
cared for your schools-your COM
pulsory law-your appropriations for
the schools--your appropriations for
school books, so that every boy and
girl in Pennsylvania can get an educa-
tion. And now you are administering
that law so that their parents and no
body else can cheat them out of the
education. You have on the statute
books the eight-hour law as regards
the employees of the government You
nave laws prOhibltlnS ch1ld labor and
minimizing the number of hours and
regulating the labor of women-laws
that have not in the past been always
executed as they should be, but which
| think are steadily being better eX-
ecuted, from all that l can hear.
1t is a great sum OF positive achieve
ment of which you should be proud
At an earlier stage in the same
speech Colonel Roosevelt said:
Next to the dishonest man himself
in point of danger to civic morality
comes the untruthful man who, in 8
spirit of wanton levity, or with mere
sour malevolence, or for ire, or fol
sensationalism, or for any other cause
falsely accuses men who are honest OF
things that are dishonest. Between
the two types of public enemies there
may be a difference of infamy, but il
is so small that 1t is safe to disre'
gard it."
Senator Penrose, IL he has been the
dominating influence at Harrisburg tc
the extent that the opposition alleges
must be credited with a voice and par
in securing enactment of the legisla
ton to which Colonel Roosevelt re.
ferred with such emphasis. Mr.. Pin
chot, therefore, as the man behind the
| lie, falls under the Coloners charac
terization of a false accuser.

A MAN WHO is HIS OWN MASTER
(Philadelphia Ledger)

DR.. Martin G. Brumbaugh, in his
address at Williams Grove, got back
very close to the land from which he
sprang. His strong plea for the Ip-
building of agricultural Pennsylvania
transcends in Importance all the in
definite promises and theories of n
weakling opposition,
Here is a candidate who stands
resolutely upon a self-made platform
and sounds an appeal for the actual
and material betterment of his State.
Here is also a candidate who talks
specific things and prescribes specific
remedies. lie deals in no misty doubts,
proclaims no yelled promises and
holds forth no quiXotic reforms inn
possible of accomplishment.
Doctor Brumbaugh talks facts. lie
tells the farmers that he will uphold
a free-school system which, by teach
ing boys and girls how to farm, will
add millions every year to the wealth
of this State. He designates evil con-
ditions, but far more important he
points out the way to correct them.
A doctor who merely lays his finger
upon the sore but is too timid or too
ignorant to apply any remedy takes
fees from his patient under false pre-
tense. Doctor Brumbaugh is no such
physician. Untrammeled by any po
litical boss. he diagnoses the ills of
II commonwealth anu ne pTeSCTlDeS
the medicine to cure them.
The liquor question. taxes, schools,
charities and roads receive from this
gubernatorial candidate square, clean
cut doctrine. 1t is indeed refresh
ing sight in Pennsylvania to behold a
man who is his own master, who pos
sesses the brain to suggest great things
and has the will power, if elected, to
force them into effect.
&c IN
tend that everything in his own party
is right 1t is still easier to denounce
everything in the opposing party as
wrong. What the voter wishes is some
one to CLEAN the right from the wrong
and then step forth with clean, un-
tarnished record to lead straight to
the proper goal.
Doctor Brumbaugh's speeches
show that he has the brains to dis
cover the force of will to lead, and the
independence to put to rout every
trifiing party pullback.
