The Pennsylvania Senatorship.

The progressive campaign in Pennsyl-
vania contains a surprise to outsiders
Why did William Finn make way for
clifford Pinchot in the race for the
United States senatorship?
Some years ago Mr.. Finn longed for
Il seat in the Senate and made his long
ing known to Mr.. Penrose, whose help
he sought. Mr.. Penrose tells the story,
and makes it quite interesting. But the
prize did not come Mr.. Films way, and
he settled back into his place as repub-
Iican leader Of Pittsburgh
When the republican party as a ma
tonal organization divided. Mr.. Finn
cast his lot with the Rooseveltians. He
wanted Mr.. Roosevelt nominated instead
of Mr.. Taft at Chicago in 1912. and
when that was refused he gave his sup
port to the boilers who organized a con-
vention of their own and named Mr..
Roosevelt rs their candidate Mr.. Finn,

Mr.. Wilson and Canal Tolls.

Whatever influences induced the Presi-
dent to change his mind about addressing
Congress on the subject of the Panama
canal tolls. the announcement OF such an
address is welcome. The country Is de-
srous of hearing from him. Gossip has
had the right of way, and C question
Is far too big and important be left
10 gossip longer. We should low get
from the proper source all the light
necessary to an understanding of why
an act of Congress signed by President
Taft and Endorsed by the Baltimore con-
venton and Mr.. Wilson as presidential
nominee, should be repealed.
1t is stated that the national honor is
at stake. But is it? Surely Mr.. Taft
and Mr.. Knox among republicans. and
Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Bryan among demo-
Gratis, must have understood the question
when they dealt with it in its first form.
keeu-sighted men of their character
coud not have been misled on a point
OF honor. They agreed that this govern
nIent had the right under the Hay
Pauncefote treaty to exempt American
coastwise shipping from canal tolls. To
that proposition President Taft, support
ell by his Secretary of State, set his
hand and seal, and Mr.. Bryan as the
author of the Baltimore platform. and
Mr.. Wilson as the candidate standing on
that structure, gave their amen.
Is il not nearer the mark, therefore
the plain tactic say that from Presi-
dent Wilson's present point of view the
question has assumed the aspect of
rational necessity" Has not the question
since March last changed from an
economic to a diplomatic one? Is not
Mr.. Wilson yielding to a pressure which
did not exist under the Taft regime. and
which goes far beyond all matters relat-
ing properly to the control and operation
of the canal?
The President is in possession of all
the information. Congress knows little.
It should know very much more before
repeating the act in controversy. 1t
should know just what the national ne
cessity is, and how it has arisen. Short
of that knowledge it cannot act under
standingly. and especially as there is
fear that this backward step may lead to
others in contemplation by Great Britain.
Mr.. Wilson can afford to be frank. He
has shown no disposition to shirk respon-
sibility on other matters. with the result
that he has great influence with Congress,
and is credited by the country with
leadership seldom equaled in the history
of his party. In a large measure he has
been his own foreign minister, and in
this canal matter has been alone in the
Iimelight. All conferences have been with
him, and the member of the House who
will lead the fight in that body for re-
pealing the canal tolls has been picked
by him. Tomorrows address. therefore,
will command worldwide attention.

From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
Within the brief twelvemonth between
the Ram and Fishes a new President OF
the United States. bringing to his office
very little previous political experience
and no personal following to speak Of, has
by his own force of character wrought
all immense change in the course Of pub
lie events. He has held an unwieldy
Congress to reasonably harmonious activ
ity during a year of continuous hard
work. He has made himself the master
of his party in degree perhaps never be-
fore witnessed in Washington. He has
fairly and honorably won an almost I'M
exampled position at the very forefront
of national affairs.

From the Pittsburgh Press.

Pittsburgh was little later than the
rest OF the country in observing Go-to-
Church Sunday. but reports from all parts
Of the city are in substantial agreement
that the results were precisely the same
here as elsewhere. In other words,
churches OF all denominations had the
largest attendance yesterday In many
years. This is the story that came from
New York. Philadelphia, Boston. Chi
cago and, indeed. from all points four
weeks ago when the experiment was

1t was fortunate that Dick was
going out of town just at this
time. Do you know, little book,
l am quite sure that Dick really
made an important business en-
gagement at this time when he
knew we would be all torn up
with settling. Men hate disorder
and l really don't blame them.
They never can see that order
will come out of the chaos of
piled up furniture, pictures in the
kitchen and the best china in the
living room where the movers
have placed them regardless of
your direction. l colud see that
Aunt Mary was perfectly terror
stricken by having to go alone, so
Dick and l decided there was
nothiwg to do but for me to go
with her.
l really think a sanitarium is
more unpleasant place than a
hospital. There are so many peo-
pie who are fighting grimly
against pain and death and you
can see while for a time they may
overcome pain, the battle will go
at last to the awful shape that
seems to be standing in wait just
behind. And the worst of it is
that one sees so many young peo-
pie who are crippled and worn
their racked faces have lost the
look of youth, which is the look
of hope.
Much of the horror of rheu-
matism can be removed" one of

ease and I am going TO take it to
heart and remember il as I have
bad throat and tonsils.
The doctor tells me that Aunt
Mary has rheumatoid arthritfs-
Mercy, what a namel II is brought

Mary must cut her rations in half.
l am very sorry for this, as
Aunt Mary did enjoy her food
and she has very few things to
enjoy.
Nature Is q hard taskmaster,
and she cuts off our sensory
pleasures one by one until none
is left.
