DECAUSE the soundness of Republican
- principles has been confirmed by the
risks and fatuities of a Democratic National
Administration, the Republican party ap-
peals with redoubed force to the country
Its long reign of accomplishments furnished
its positive warrant, and now this has been

has been preserved from outright destruction

Should Mr.. Wilson let go the steering
wheel, the legislative car would plunge
through the fence. BY exercising the pre-
negatives OF benevolent autocrat, Mr.. Will
son, with what measure of trbulation none
but he can fully know, has contrived to save
his party's face.
With the Republican party precisely the re-
verse is true. The party principles are
sound; the party itself is trustworthy and
efficient at the core. But it is blocked from
power by an evil leadership which the peo-
pie do not dare to trust with their national
destinies The Republican party is the only
party in this State that can safely be given
political power If permitted TO act of itself,
free from boss dictation. 1t is the boss Of
Republican Pennsylvania who has driven 1t
out of power and kept It out of power. 1t Is
Penrose who has been the head and brains
of that bipartisan betrayal Of public inter
ests in this State which has shamed the
Republican party no less than it has lent the
Democratic party a fictitious influence that

Educational Appropriations

TNllE educational budget of the city of
i New York for 1916 is expected to total the
magnificent sum of si3,139,SS7, the largest
amount ever spent by any municipality in the
history of the world, that its children might
obtain educations, that they might become
useful citizens.
But large as is the sum which New York
spends for its splendid school system, Phila
delphia is not only equally liberal, but, as a
matter of statistical fact, it spends more per
child than does New York. Next year the
metropolis will eXpend s57.51 for each of the
estimated total of 100000 pupils. This year
Philadelphia is spending s66.35 for each OF
it's $4,000 students
Philadelphia may pride itself on it's schools.
1t is only a question of time when the old
structures will be replaced by new; when
vocational schools Will come into vogue more
generally when summer day and night
schools will be the rule rather than the ex-
ception.

Sober Second-Thought Treaties

From the ST. Louis Republic.
Treaties of peace and arbitration are valuable
manifestations of public sentiment. They alsc
help to create and deepen right sentiment
They are educational and they foster habits OF
thought that make for sobriety and moderation.
The Bryan commission treaties designed 10
insure delay and give reason and common sense
a chance. If such treaties had been in force in
Europe last July and If Austria and SeTvia to
begin with, had lived up to them and appointed
a high JOINT commission of inquiry. tho war
might have been ayeTted The whole world
knows that delay and opportunity for more dis
cussion and moral pressure We're deyOuuy
wished for at that anxious time. Without
cherishing Illusions then the acceptance by so
many Powers of the Bryan treaties may be
welcomed as a heartening sign. Such treaties
will be part of civilized and democratic ma
chnery of war prevention. Military cabals
never can wait; peace loving nations will give
themselves ample time for reflection and sober
second thought

An Appeal to the Farmers

From the New York Tribune
Recognizing the fact that America must sup
ply extra large part of the worlds food
Stuffs next year, the international Harvester
Company of America has begun Il campaign TO
arouse the farmers of this country to their
opportunity and duty. 1t urges every farmer
to utilize every available acre and to increase
the average yield each acre. That eX-
tremely good advice on two counts.
The first Is the natural desire of all producers
to have available large supply of merchandise
when there is unusual demand. With Eu-
rope in chaos, no question exists about the
demand and no question about the desrability
of being able 20 ill it with profit. The second
Is the more humanitarian and altruistc con-
sideration of ability to relieve out of the over
flowing storehouse of American farms. the
suffering which Europes shortage of grains
and stock will inevitably produce. This has
been year of bounteous crops here. If care
full planning and skful working do it,
next years crops should be even bigger, for
there will be need for all that the best farm
ing and the most propitious weather conditions
can DrOduce.

VAS Goes Maineo

From the New York Evening Mail.
The Maine result demonstrates anew that the
Republican party cannot hope to regain public
confidence to the extent of winning State elec-
tions so long as it remains, in policy and in
leadership, under control of the men whose
course in 1912 forced it to the most ovorwhem-
ing and humiliating defeat that any national
political party ever suffered.
The Maine verdict foreshadows the national
verdict because its voters outside the preju-
dices that affect people in large cities. They are
accustomed TO do their own thinking. and to
do 1t in their own peculiar way .
That independence still prevails Yesterdays
election, therefore, has significance that must
not be minimized by students of national po-
litical currents. Coming from State in which
the Republican policy OF protection SHOULD, II
anywhere, strengthen greatly the Republican
cause. the figures must be regarded as show
ing that the asserted weakness of the Wilson
Administration is a Republican hope rather than
a fact. Also to be reCkoned with, as equally
decisive If not equally numerous as in 1872
are the forces that moved forward when the
Republican party, under Barnes, Penrose and
Lormer moved backward. Those forces are
still looking forward, and they Repub-
lican party the horizon. 1t has not yet
caught up from the rear.
Maine sounds warning that must be needed
by Republicans in every state in which they
hope to retrieve their fallen fortune.

From the Baltimore News
The favor of this country seems TO be courted

There is a little country called Holland that

perhaps oblteration. Yet for all the regret aud
horror of war that the great Powers are daily
expressing each is spending its efforts in
melting that little country to hostility against
the other. What sort of friendship is 1t that
permits SUCH things? The world is already
half embroiled. Why should the other half be
inundated with unsubstantated accusations,
half-truths. exaggerations that, If believed
must at the very least cmbtter its neutrality
and may even lead 1t TO condone offense against
its strict neutrality or tempt it to depart from
an honestly impartial course?
