A GENUrNECAsE OF NEW wFREEDoM
From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.l

[From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.l
The Democratic party in Pennsylva-
mia and in the nation is likely to dis
cover that there Is more gunpowder IN
the real New Freedom issue than in
the ideal. New Freedom happens to
be the name of a post office in York
county. Candidates for the postmaster
ship were asked by the county chair
man, according to affidavits made by
them, to agree to make an annual con
tribution out OF their salary to the
party funds. The charge, made under
oath, may be true or 1t may be false.
1t is sufficient that it is made, to raise
the issue of the barter and sale of
public office.
The country will wonder whether
this Is the New Freedom for which
Democracy stanls. Will he admin
isration, which has been backing the
reorganized parry in this State, gloss
over this outrageous offense against
political decency and criminal act, or
will the District Attorney be directed
to take instant cognizance?

BANK INSPECTION

wv LILLIAN H. SMITH, State
M Banking Commissioner, inti-
w mates pretty strongly in his
annual report, issued yester-
day, that he thinks il about time the
Legislature gives his department juris-
diction over the private banks of
Pennsylvania. He is right. Every
bank in the State ought to be under
the supervision of the Banking De-
partment. That's why the depart
ment was created, and no bank, ex-
cept that having something to hide,
should object to the periodical visits
of official examiners. Indeed, the up
to-date and conscientious banker
should welcome such inspection, since
it serves merely as a check on his
own system. AT all events, no honest
bank can object to letting the State
know that it is honest.
