Pillar of the Peoples Hope

VTTHEN Or. Martin G. Brumbaugh says he
w is unbossed and unbossable he not only
speaks the truth, but all the big and httle
political bosses know that he is speaking
the truth Hence the professional bosses
and their satellites are not wildly enthuSlaS-
tic over the Brumbaugh candidacy IheE
support it, of course, but only because 1t IS
So strong and popular that their one chance
of continued tenure Of office is to hang on 10
the Doctors coattails.
And when Doctor Brumbaush says that
he has no open or underground alliance with
the interests that jeopardi2e the stability OF
our commonwealth he not only speaks the
truth but all the interests know that ne is
speaking the truth. Behind his words there
are nearly 80 years of life in the public eye
a life so frank and clean and beyond reproach
that it gives the lie to any statement or IN
sinuation that he shares with Penrose the
support of the liquor dealers and the UNDER
world.
Doctor Brumbaush believes that state ana
national issues have no vital connection, ana
logic is on his side when he goes his own
way. making his own platform, outlining MS
owl, policies and conducting his own cam
paign. only a strong man, a genuinely
strong man, conscious of his own rectitude
and ability to serve the commonwealth
would dare to take such a course. And II Is
the way to victory.

peurose PLAYING Samson

nTAD with pain and humiliation, with
IHl vision gone and strength sapped,
Penrose is trying to win revenge and last
personal triumph before he goes to his doom.
Like Samson of old. he has put his arms
around the columns supporting the Repub-
lican home that has sheltered him for years
and with one final desperate effort he would
pull It TO the ground to cover his own ruin
Penrose is under suspicion in the supreme
legislative chamber of the nation for his use
of campaign funds; everywhere his name Is
linked ANONYMOUSLY with Lorimer and Sui
livan Of Illinois. with Barnes and Suzer of
New York; evidence has been published that
his campaign draws its chief and most dis
reputable strength from the liquor makers
and dealers of Pennsylvania.
He claims that the fortunes of the Repub-
lican party depend upon his re- election. This
is so far from being true that the success of
Penrose in November will prove to be the
worst disaster RepublCansm has suffered
Never in the history Of the party has it had
a more vulnerable Candidate--a who is
tangible contradiction and negaton of
everything honorable and noble in the tradi-
tions and spirit Of the party of Abraham
Lincoln.

Louisiana sugar producers who were disman-

their 1914 crop. The beet sugar producers of
the West will profit tremendously through the
sudden removal of all competition with the
Austrians, the French and the Russians. The
tariff will still give them measure Of protec-

assurance that infantile paralysis is caused
by "A germ organism, which he has succeeded
in isolating and by means of which he has

She leaned from out her easement wide,
And watched below the human tide
Flow, as the night drew nigh.
Bitter the thoughts her fancy span.
And black the thread that through them ran
AS the hurried feet swept by:
For, like poisonous seed wide-sown,
Her base imagnings had grown
And DER her heart had crept;
Till on the one who loved her best.
Who strove TO hold that love- hard-pressed,
Her ceaseless watch she kept.
Days gray with brooding and mistrust,
Nights fraught with fears, wild and unjust
Slowly Loves courage wanedi
And toward the dreary length of years to
The one who loved her once gazed, fearless,
dumb
Duty alone remained.
Love could not stay alone when Faith had
gone,
But long his feet her threshold fingered on
Life's solace she had lost, and nothing

but they do not give a city It's character. That
arises from It's citizenship.
Psychologists have dealt with the matter from
various points Of view, seeking in way
and another, some reason to account for the
radical differences th observe. There Is little
reason. for example Why indianapolis should
differ from Cincinnati a navigabe river at
Cincinnaus door Is not sufficient to account for
the variation II 1t is then Cincinnati should
not materially differ from St Louis. Yet 1t
does. Geographical situation has, to be sure Its
effect, and one would reasonably expect to
observe a difference between St Paul and At
lanta, but what is to account for the difference
between st. Paul and Minneapolis?
On the whole, it is not at all unlikely that the
Rev. Mr.. Wareing is wrong What he says
about cities, generally speaking, would not
say even about New York. Light, shallow
frivolous as 1t is in a sense, big, complex
heterogeneous, it has its own individuality as
city its own communal spirit, its own civic
character. Indeed, for most OF our larger cities
IL would be impossible to devise some dstnc-
tive and interpretative symbol, each differing
from the other-to give in this form a graphic
substance to municipal spirit.

HUM OF HUMAN CITIES

the city has its orchestra and it's operate
visitors. And music is not problem for

music, but which find it very difficult to
obtain. Just now st. Louis is waging
broad, popular campaign to save it's Sym

The orchestra found itself this year facing
a deficit of about $4,000, which even the gifts
of rich supporters did not meet. The appeal
for popular subscription to cover this went
out from all quarters. The weekly Mirror, OF
St. Louis wrote CharaCteristiCally:
THE Symphony Society must not be
allowed to go to the wall, after 80 years of
splendid esthetic ministration to our spirits.
for need of $4,000. Man does not live by

together and pitch in to keep the symphony
going 1t is worth everybody's while, To
save the Sundays Pops alone would warrant
a sacrifice by every believer in education and

Clear In the New Haven Scandal

TTOw deeply submerged in financial scan

Hartford Railroad is may never be fully
known by the public. Almost every day some
new evidence of reckless financing comes to
view even to the extent of discovering notes
and collateral in dead mems lock boxes with
no explanation of how they came to he there.
Possibly indignation will not be so keen as
when the management made shamhles OF
their lines but as a salutary and deterrent
influence upon all public and semi-puolic
corporations every questionable and illegal
phase Of the railroads affairs should be made
known.
Neither should there be any degree of
immunity for those who plunged the system
into such impotency and infamy. Whether
their guilt be traceable to personal greed or
careless negligence. the law should take its
due course, whatever the social prominence
of the offenders may be. This country needs
q restored confidence in the Capability and
integrity of railroad management. Until that
arrives it is futile for the roads to expect a
whole hearted government redress OF their
grievances.

THE IDEALIST

Few people will deny the character build
ing virtues of hard work. Quite often, how
ever. a very low rating is put on these virtues
For instance, 1t is a common thing TO hear
that hard work serves as means OF keeping
one out of trouble. If one remains busy, one
has little time TO devote to Improbable pleas
ures and Misunderstanding occupations. This
concept, however. is very low valuation
of work.
A point which is often lost sight OF Is that
continued application TO the serious business
OF life results in surrounding a man or
woman with other men or women whose
habits are industrious and honest. Hard
work creates uplifting environment.
In this sort of society a weak man develops
strength; a strong man is made stronger
You will seldom find a man who is an ider
serving as the companiqR-of man who Is a
worker.
Idlers seek the company Of their own kind.
The pace of the worker Is too fast for the
idler TO follow Invariably the idler IS
thrown into the company OF men whose sole
object is the pursuit Of demoralzing diver
siOns.
This sort OF association never permits OF
hard work or development

SOUL OF A TOWN
BRADFORD.


From the Indianapolis News
The Rev. Ernest G.. Wareing. editor OF the
Western Christian Advocate, Is convinced that
a city has no soul. So, al least, he records him
self IN a recent address before the Zion Park
Assembly. Those who feel inclined to dispute
the Rev. MT Warelng's judgment however
may not be entirely without reason on their
side. A good deal depends what is meant
by soul"
Cities differ, and the difference is not merely
one Of physical aspect. Ii Is deeper and less
obvious. and not so readily analyzed Towns
diner, and even hamlets and size has as little
10 do with II physical aspect. Wide streets
or narrow, crooked or straight tall buildings
or low, are not the things, after ALL that make
one city more desirable than another. They
are sources Of pride or of regret, an expression

Now he whose talk of battle tires
Whose shop and business chatter wearies,
Before a rush of words retires
And all the talk is of the series.
And men who like to talk of clothes,
And men who like to talk of eating,
Must all make place for him who knows,
Or says he does, who'll get the beating
In car, on sidewalk and in trolley
The scalping visitors are talking;
See how they bulldoze, coax and jolly
To help along their ticket hawking.
Who tries to start a conversation
On other subjects finds no tenant
In head of friend or near relation,
Who're wondering who will get the pennant.

Germs

Germs in your foods and the air you breathe,
Germs in your mouth and your nose;
Germs on your lips, in your whiskers, too,
In families classes and rows;
Germs in the candy you give to your girl,
Germs on the stamps that you lick,
Eat work or sleep without killing them off,
And you are bound to be sick.

Make all humanity squirm,
Till everyone wonders but dares not to ask
