House, is the real inventor of the pres
ent brand of Democracy in Pennsyl-
vania, must chuckle when the door of
his room is closed over the way he has
succeeded in having certain wealthy
persons finance his ambitions from
time to time. He has doubtless been
promised something in the way of a
consolation prize for standing against
Senator Penrose. and can afford to be
more or less Indifferent regarding the
outcome of the election mex Fall.
From all parts of the Common
wealth come reports of increasing dis
satisfaction with the Democratic outfit
in the State and nation. Thousands
of men who have been voting the
ticket and who supported President
Wilson two years ago are off the reser-
walton and are emitting frequent blood
curdling yells of defiance, threatening
to join forces with all the other parties
in ar anti-Democratic campaign. g,
Instead of an aggressive and har-
monious organization, such as had
the Democracy of this State is in revolt
against the little bosses who assumed
leadership and then failed to make
good. 1t is no wonder the party
representatives in committee assem-
bled find little of encouragement in
present conditions. They face defeat
and make no effort to conceal their
sentiments when the bosses are not
around.

TREAT EVERYBODY FAIRLY

IT H respect to the elimination
wv of the "Hardscrabble" district
w there is no occasion for un-
reasonable criticism. For
years it has been a foregone conclu-
sion hat the dwellings along this
stretch would be removed when the
final improvement of the River Front
vas undertaken.
There is no reason why the propo-
sition should involve any serious hard
ship to property owners or tenants. AS
was indicated by the resolution of the
Chamber of Commerce, that body sim
ply proposes that what is obviously
necessary to be done shall be done
without further delay and with justice
and equity to all concerned.
No important public improvement is
made without some discomfort TO
somebody, but there is apparently no
excuse for believing that the dwellers
in the section affected will be treated
otherwise than fairly by the city in
the proposed improvement.

E1 IL ERAL BELL
~ placed the responsibility for the
4 = present deplorable condition of
many highways of the State
squarely upon the shoulders of the
fiscal officers of the Commonwealth
when he charged in court yesterday
during the hearing on the proposition
to make the appeal of Auditor General
Powell and State Treasurer Young a
supersedeas in the matter of utilizing
the automobile license funds for road
maintenance-that the refusal of the
fiscal officers to honor the warrants of
State Highway Commissioner Biselow
for the maintenance of the roads was
directly responsible for the intolerable
and almost impossible condition of
great stretches of the States system
of highways.
The Attorney General minced no
words in discussing h situation. He
declared that the Highway Commits
sioner has been hailed into the courts
of the State fol neglect to repair the
highways while those in charge of the
funds refuse to honor his warrants for
maintenance; that the fiscal officers
a blocked the determination of the
questions they had raised and that
their conduct ~"bordered on official
contumacy." He stated further that
the application to make the appeal
from the decision of the Dauphin
County Court, which was in favor of
the State Highway Commissioners
contention, a supersedeas vas IAN in
suit to the intelligence, dignity and
orderly administration of the affairs of
the people of the State"
1t was also charged by the law
officer of the Commonwealth that the
fiscal officers had chosen a time when
the Supreme Court had adjourned for
the summer to institute an appeal
which could not be argued before the
Fall, when the highways that are bad
now will be infinitely worse.
Over a million dollars lies in the
State Treasury waiting a final deter
mination of the squabble over the
meaning of a law whose intent and
purpose were so plain that nobody
ever had a doubt hat the funds would
be available during the present veal
for road-building purposes. Highway
Commissioner Bigelow had organized
his forces, prepared his plans and was
ready for an energetic program of
bodybuilding this year when his hands
were tied through this litigation.
If it is possible to have a special
sitting of the higher court to determine
a question of such vital importance to
the people of the State, then this extra
ordinary step should be taken. Where
the comfort of thousands of people is
involved there ought to be found some
way to determine the points at issue
before next October.

BACK TO THE r.
New York SUM-

In its appraisal of prospects for the
Congress election next November the
Republican congressional committee
relies on the figures of last years regis
trations and elections from Maine to
California. In almost every case, the
committee points out, the results
favored the Republican party. The
members believe hat the condition
which caused the election of Wilson is
wiped out and the readjustment is in
their W favor. They see an existing
"letdown" in business which favors
their chances. OF course this is mere
psychology. President Wilson himself
has told us that only the Information
which filters into the White House
through government agencies is to be
relied on, and 1t presages a business
boom and an uprising of the people at
the coming election in favor of tying
their own hands and feet. 1t is a case

TROUBLES OF THE BOSSES

UR Democratic brethren who are
here to-day for the purpose of
considering ways and means of
preventing a Republican deluge
next November are far from happy.
When they talk frankly and in secret
they admit that the situation is most
~discouraging from the Democratic
standpoint, but inasmuch as many of
the committeeman owe their connec-
ton with the organization to the little
group of ambitious persons who took
over the party a year or two ago at a
bargain price, they are extremely reti-
cent in open discussion OF the actual
conditions.
Even Mr.. Palmer himself, who is
the head and front of the reorganiza-
ton movement, but who modestly dis
claims the right of discovery, always
insisting that his running mate, the
gubernatorial choice of the White

spiration. Naturally the facts and
figures. must be wrong. They are old
fashioned, superseded by the new wis
DOM. But they are painfully obstinate.
For instance. take last years election
returns in New Jersey, which show a
drop of 2 per cent. in the Democratic
vote and an so per cent. increase in
the Republican total. This is plainly a
mere malicious trick of the figures.
Indeed it looks as If there was a IN
spiracy amnog the people to m%isrepre-
sent their own feelings for the pur-
pose of buoying up the Republican
leaders with false hopes.

1t is clearly the duty of the proper
municipal authorities to see to it thai
