DR.. Nicola Gigliotti on
Situation in Penna,

DR.. Nicola Gigliotti, of Erie, president
of the Italian Educational Alliance and
president -elect of the new Italian Uni
versity which will be erected at Cleve-
land, who was a strong supporter of
Roosevelt in 1912, is writing for the
Italian press series of political
articles. He denounces the literacy test
in the immigration bill now before Con-
gress, and advises the Italians and all
other voters of foreign birth or parent
age to carefully scrutiniZe the records
of their members of Congress.
DR.. Gigliotti In an article this week,
in which he discusses the political
situation in Pennsylvania, says the
strongest man fnShis view for Governor
or United States Senator is ]. Hampton
Moore, of Philadelphia because of the
fight which he put up in the House of
Representatives against 1.-The odious Bur-
nett bill, which opens the portals of this
great country to every crook and Black
Handler, who can read and write, and
excludes good. sober, saving, home-loving
and God-fearing illiterate immigrants,
who come to America with powerful
arms, strong lungs, and pure hearts
has endeared him to thousands and
thousands of voters of foreign extrac-
ton"
DR.. Gigliotti says the Progressves
this year have not half the chance they
had in 1912 in Pennsylvania; that the
vanities and chickering's of many of
them will injure to a great extent their
chances of success. He declares the
Democrats in Pennsylvania are lame
and State victory for them seems
'very remote possibility"

collector balance from which he
could raise the pay of an efficient or
needy Democrat.
How admirably 1t is working out In
practice Is shown by the fact that
every man that has been denoted or
suffered a decrease in salary in the
Philadelphia customs house since
Berry took charge has been Repub-
lican, and every man appointed to a
vacancy, who has been promoted, or
has had his salary increased has been
Democrat.
Yet Mr.. Berry is an ardent advocate
of civil service and the merit system
in selection of government employees.
We know this, for he has told us so
in numerous campaign speeches.

Then often comes bitterness and cyni-
cal distrust of all men for the real or
fancied faithlessness of one.
Possibly the greatest test of real
manhood lies in the Willingness of a
man to attempt to renew d friendship
once broken. Hot words have passed,
taunts and reproaches have been
spoken, eyes have flashed fire and
anger has ragged. To risk renewal
of hostilities, to bare the breast to a
possible second murderous thrust at
the heart of friendship-this is the
hazard the peacemaker risks. But no
man is worthy the name of friend who
will not chance it.
And how great is the reward. The
gift of friendship assumes a new zest,
new sense and value. We are more
thoughtful and considerate; we tread
softly lest we lose it again. So with
Tillman and McLaurin. They have
each lost much through a quarrel
over what now both regard as a trifi-
ing episode. They will be careful that
the newly cemented relations shall
not again be rent asunder.
Do not quarrel with your friend, but
If quarrel you do, don't hesitate to be
first to take step toward making
up" Chances are you'll find the other
fellow with hand outstretched'-and
if you don't you will not miss his
friendship much.

RESIDENT WILSON is playing
- politics on scale that far sur
i passes any White House inter-
ference with State government
affairs in years. Having 'sat in at
the ate-making conference at which
the Democratic distributors of federal
pie in Pennsylvania set themselves up
as favorite candidates for the two
highest offices within the gift of the
State, the President now turns his eye
toward New York. Indications are
that he is going to choose not only
New York State Democratic nominees,
but a State Democratic chairman as
well.
Had President Taft attempted any
such high-handed methods of political
dictatorship, Wilson himself would
have been first to cry boss" and
rightfully so. Evidently the President
not only believes that "to the victor
belongs the spoils," but also that he is
entitled to make vassals of the van
auished His efforts to force Penn
sylvanians to be subservient to his
political ambitions would seem to
prove the proposition.
Wilson. if the truth be known, is
not so much interested in the election
of this individual or that as he is in
the success of the Democratic tickets
in PENNSYLVANIA and New York next
Fall 1t is easy to be seen that If his
personally endorsed candidates are
elected in those States he will be able
to use the fact as an endorsement OF
his tariff policies and the popular ap-
proval of his administration right in
the heart of the protective tariff
stronghold.
But the President has reckoned
without his host. He has overstepped
The late Senator Quay had often been
accused of arrogant boss-ship. but

THE VISITING NEWSPAPERMEl

THE VISITING NEWSPAPERMEN
II DITORS, owners and publishers
r. representing a large majority of
l. the newspapers of the State are
gathered here to-day to attend
the annual meeting of the State Edi-
torial Association and the two allied
organizations. the Pennsylvania Asso-
ciated Dailies and the Pennsylvania
Associated Weeklies.
The past year has witnessed the first
real effort of theJ daily newspapers of
the State to get together for the con-
sderation of topics of mutual interest
and benefit. 1t is a rather remarkable
fact that while in point of capital in
vested and number of persons en-
ployed the newspaper business of
Pennsylvania stands among the lead
ing industries of the Commonwealth,
and that while nearly all other lines
of business or manufacture are or
ganized the daily newspapers of the
State for years continued to plod their
separate ways, each content to work
out it's problems alone. The new asso-
citation is destined to change all this.
Office efficiency. the making of better
newspapers and greater service to
advertisers and subscribers will be dis
cussed at to-day's meeting. While not
much of immediate interest to the
public will be transacted, the news
paper-reading public will in the end
benefit therefrom.

THE PARENTS DUTY

The child who learns of the
sacred problems of sex in the
language, of the gutter will tend
toward the gutter, think as of the
gutter, and pass into obscurity.
This statement of DR.. j. Aspinall
McCuaig, noted eugenics expert, has
a ring of truth that dare not be
ignored by the parent who has at
heart the welfare of his child.
Too long false modesty has been
jeopardizing the health, even the soul
salvation, of the youth of the land.
Too long parents have been hiding the
sacred truths of procreation behind a
cloak of assembling delicacy. Too
long children have been learning the
problems of sex from evil minded
companions-from companions of the
gutter.
1t may be, as many authorities say
the mission of the school to instruct
the boy and the girl in these sex
truths 1t may be, as many assert
the business of the priest or the pastor
to explain these things to the young
of his flock Both these opinions may
be accepted or rejected. But of one
thing there can be no argument. L
is the DUTY Of the parent to instruc
his or her offspring in these importan
matters which mean so much to the
child's proper view of life and to the
development of correct moral prin
ciple and fiber in youth manhood ant
