POLITICAL SIDElIcHTS

Those Clearfeld Democrats are a
foxy lot.
DIR. Hoskins appears to have de-
c;ded to let the Ryan Democrats make
the fight in Philadelphia.
Allegheny county Democratic COM
nitteemen are reported to be discour-
aged over the outlook and not desir-
ing to work.
Those revenue jobs are to be given
out as soon as the preliminaries can
be arranged. Mccormick will decide
who is to be named for this section.
The meeting of the Republican
League of Clubs will be held in Wilkes
Barre.
Maybe the news from Pike kept
Palmer from going to Clearfield.
Mccormick and McNair will
doubtless enjoy travelling together this
week.
The awkward squad of the Cen
trail Democratic Club will start drilling
for the campaign as soon as the nights
become cool.
Senator Penrose says he is glad
Wilson is coming to PENNSYLVANIA, but
no such sentiments are coming from
the windmill.
The Democratic city committee is
going to have another meeting
Lybarger must nave written another
speech.
Jim Blakslee says he is going to
work for Democratic success regard
less of criticism. People don't criti-
else gnats as a rule.
Colonel "BilI' Fairman is still a
private citizen in spite of visits to the
windmill.
Mccormick is In the enemy's coun-
try this week and the weather has
turned very cool.
j. NJ. Hill wants the whole Phila-
delphia Democratic organization elected
by the people thrown u as not trust

ment.
Anyway Mr.. Morris is adding
something to the summer in Harris
burg.
Raymond MacNeille is being
doomed for the vacant judgeship in
Philadelphia.

L. w. COOK


voters here have been taught by long
years of prosperity to prefer a genuine
and o~utSpoken policy of protection.
There is the Eighth district, for
example, represented by a Democrat,
who polled 1920 votes in 1912. But
the Republican and Washington party
opposition polled, between them, 27,-
600 votes. In the Seventh district,
with a Democratic Congressman, there
were 10000 Republican and Washing
tonian votes cast and only $4,000
Democratic. And so 1t goes. If the
men who believe in protection more
than they. believe in splits arrange to
combine in these districts, Wilson
Congressman will see all hopes of
election go glimmering.
The situation is similar in Illinois,
where the Progressive heresy VIA as
popular two years ago as 1t was here.
The Republicans and Progressives
polled more thar $4,000 votes for their
! candidates in the Seventh district but
the Democratic candidate slipped
through with only 19,400. And this
condition is repeated in scores of dis
tricts throughout the country.
While it is the Presidents duty to
hearten his followers by taking an
active part in the congressional cam
paign, he cannot change the result.
His record has been made and the
voters ave decided what they will dc
in November. Those who like the rec
ord will vociferously indorse 1t in tho
campaign and vote for the reelection
of those who have mad it possible.
But those who have beer thrown out
of work and those whose business has
been injured will as vociferously re-
main silent, while their ballots will
fall as gently as the s~now1akes on the
sod and execute the will of the peo-
pie, which, as Alcuin said to Charlie
magne, is the will of God.

PRESIDENT WILSON FACING GER
TAIN DEFEAT
TFrom the Public ledger I

III the Il uDllC 1GuStIal
The President is morally bound to
go into the congressional campaign
and fight for the men who have voted
as he has ordered. 1t would be the
height of t~reachery to desert those
who have submitted their wills to his
for the last seventeen months and
have made it possible for him to carry
out his program. This has been a per-
sonal Administration thus far, domi-
mated by one man more effectively
than has been the case at any pre-
vious time in the history of the Re-
public. So the congressional cam
paign is not so much a campaign for
the Endorsement of Democracy, but a
campaign to secure the approval of
the plans and purposes of President
Wilson.
He is in power because the opposi-
ton was divided. The large majority
in the House of Representatives is
there for the same reason. Democrats
were elected two years ago in districts
in which they neve before dreamed
of success. 1t is these accidental Con-
gressmen who have made it easy for
the President to impose his will on
the national legislature. Few of them
expect to be reelected this year IN
less they can make some arrangement
for keeping the opposition divided. 1t
is the duty of the President to stand
by them and to ask that their districts
make 1t possible for him to continue
to control the situation at Washing
ton.
He has a herculean task in this State
If he is to hold in line any more than
the rock-ribbed Democratic districts,

defense of his competitive tariff, the

WASTE

IN the making of coke in this coun-
try the beehive type of oven is

One of the big Independent steel

PEACE
BY Wing Dinger

The way that nations meet and talk
On peace for weeks and weeks,
And then show fight on slightest
cause
Dividing into cliques-
Reminds me of the Irishman,
Who lay at point of death,
And asked for dissolution with
A asst departing breath.
The priest informed him that he must
Make peace with all the world
Before his wish could be fulfilled,
And Pats hair fairly curled,
For Flanagan was a sore spot
In Pats life for years back,
But finally for Flanagan
He sent, and took this tack:
ole Flanagan, I've hated you
For years. but now I'm through;
The priest can't dissolution give
Till 1 make peace with you.
/ want to say I have forgot
Our scraps of long ago,
But. If I should get we'll. o mutt,
This hot air doesn t go"

AbANAN bN A4Nl<ALNc Will uOuDlleSS
see in the reputation of the Will
J. son candidate for Governor in
Texas a forecast of what is going
to happen in this State next Novem-
her. Texas declines to stand for die
tation, even though it come from such
itself. There are signs that not only
the Republicans but a large number of
Democrats in Pennsylvania entertain
similar sentiments.
This defeat Of the administration
program in Texas is the most severe
blow It has received since it became a
power in national affairs. It is greater
by far than the mere district defeat i in
New Jersey, where the presidential
choice for Congress was overwhelm-
ingly beaten. The fact that Congress
man Ball. who was the Wilson favorite
for Governor, lost the nomination by
over $4,000 votes ought to give those
in authority at Washington pause for
thought. And it is all the more sig
niicant to note hat while President
Wilson's personally selected candidate
had been prominent in State affairs for
years, his successful opponent is COM
paratively unknown.
Of course the Democrats of Texas
in the coming convention will "en-
horse" the national policies. But the
fact remains hat they are so much
out of accord with the Wilson adj
ministration that they would have
nothing whatever to do with the Presi-
dents candidate and went out of their
way to show their disregard for his
preferences.

1t is cas- to understand the dis
taste with which the President views
his prospective stumping tou A man
of extreme sensitiveness. he realizes
the virtual confession that is implied
in going upon the defensive, but he
realizes also what it would mean to
have a Republican House of Repre-
sentatives in the Sixty-fourth Com
gress. So he is inclined to put his
pride in his pocket and respond to
the Macedonian cry of his political
associates.
Wherever President Wilson goes he
will see Democratic disorganization.
discord and depression. He will be
told hat his tariff law has been
weighed and found wanting. He will
find the voters turning from the party
of broken promises to the party of
performance and prosperity. Repub-
licans ave nothing to fear from the
Presidents taking the stump. This
practical admission that their friends,
the enemy. have had to call on the
commander-in-chief and all the re-
serves in a last desperate endeavor to
avoid defeat will not be without its
effect. The people will be glad to
hear the President speak. There are
a good many things they would like
to have him explain and for which
they are preparing to call his admin
~istration to account when they cast
their ballots in the Fall.

OF U

= TOTHING is ever accomplished by
y sticking in a rut, except to make
l = the rut deeper. Freedom of
thought has preceded every
great discovery or invention in the
worlds history. We are prone to be
marrow, but it is only by widening our
scope of vision that we progress.
For forty years the osteopaths and
the medical doctors have been at war
Notwithstanding hat the art of heal
ing is necessarily a progressive rather
than a fixed science, the medical au-
thorities have been slow to admit that
there is any virtue in the compare
lively new school. Now comes the
Medical World, a we'll known journal,
advising its readers hat the mem
bers of the two schools ought to CO.
operate one with the other.
Whether we are believers in osteo-
pathy or not we must all feel more
confidence in the man we call in to
treat us when we are i'll If we believe
he is willing to do anything for us
that will be for our benefit, regardless
of whether the treatment falls inside
or outside the generally accepted
limits of his W individual school.
Every one will agree with the Medi-
cal World that it is right when it says:
Whenever you have a patient that
you hin needs osteopathic treat
ment, we think it very proper for
you to ask an osteopath to see the
patient with YOU, and give the me-
chanical treatment that you and he
think proper. On the other hand,
when an osteopath should ask you
to see one of his patients with view
to giving medical treatment, we
think it very fitting that you should
respond and give such treatment.
The Worldsrefers to the "prejudices
of some physicians of both schools.
There ought not to be prejudices in
the profession of men who are dealing
with life and death. The sooner all
of them learn hat the ailing public
wants to be cured and doesn't care a
hang about the means, the sooner will
the science of healing throw off the
limitations that have confined men to
the ruts that have made some of them
in all schools narrower than we like
to think of practitioners in a profess
sion that has done so much and made
so many personal sacrifices for man.

TENNIS TOURNAMENT

lust how popular the municipal
tennis courts at Reservoir and the
other city parks have grown dur
- ing the last five years is seen in
the hundreds of entries in this years
annual tennis tournament.
Perhaps no investment the city has
ever made has been productive of bet
ter results than the money put into
the city courts. Daily scores of men,
women and children spend an hour or
more on the courts and come away
just so much better physically for the
splendid exercise hat the sport af-
fords.
The girls of the city have been
especially benefited, for tennis is a
game in which women as well as men
excel. Few girls can swim and not
many have the lean to play golf, but
hundreds are able to play and do play
a rafting game with the racket. A
jaunt to Reservoir will convince the
interested observer that there are
scores of girls in this city who owe
their rosy cheeks and their glowing
strength to the advantages of the mu-
nicipal courts.
Now that the sport has become so
widely followed here plans have been
drawn for a tennis clubhouse at Res
%ervoir, which. with it's shower baths
and locker facilities, will doubtless
make the game still more popular.
And with the increase in the num-
bers who frequent the courts it is fast
becoming necessary that additional
ones be built.

Briefly summarized. some OF the
principal ways in which waste is now
being eliminated on a large scale in
clude these:
Water powers are being utilized to a
greater extent.
Timber-cutting in the national for
ests is carefully controlled.
Resources of coal are being pro-
tected. although millions in minerals
are still being wasted. the National
Bureau of Mines reports.
Steel scrap is being converted into
Bessemer.
There are laws to insure the health
and safety of workmen.
We are making successful war IN
disease.
We are introducing more practical
ideas in education. fitting young peo-
pie to earn an honorable living along
chosen lines.
We are installing a new reserve
bank and currency system by which
the supply of money will expand and
contract in accordance with the de-
mands of business, so that it will ebb
and fiow between the sections where
there is surplus and the places where
there is scarcity. its friends believe,
and will prevent panics by being al
ways available where there is legiti-
mate need.
The elimination of waste from our
personal affairs is equally important.
