POLITICS IN
PENNSYLVANIA
Progress of the Campaign and Some
Illustrative and Picturesque In
cidents.

The announcement that Martin G..
Rrunhaugh. Republican nominee for Gov
ernor is financing his campaign lnde-
pendently of the Penrose-controlled Re
publican State Committee. and the sue
cessful efforts of friends of Roger c. sui
Ilvan in the Senate Committee on Priv
ileges and Elections to postpone the SEN
ate investigation of the primary expenses
Of Penrose and Sullivan. were important
political events of the week
A. Mitchell Palmer appeared before the
Senate Committee early in the week and
repeated his charge against Penrose. PEN
rose paid one of his nlrequent visits to
washington, and made strong fight to
nrevent the inquiry into his campaign
! methods. Indications were, however, that
the investigation would be ordered, but
yesterday Democratic members Of the
committee, who are friends of the Demo-
cratic candidate for United States SEN
ator from Illinois, postponed the inquiry
until after November 3.
Doctor Brumbaugh's positive stand in
favor of local option caused the differ
ences between the guhernatorial cand
date and the Penrose-contrOllcd State
Committee.
In his weeks campaign through the
Cumberland Valley, he repeatedly defined
his stand in regard TO local option. After
speaking at Ncrristown on Sunday and
visiting Philadelphia on Monday he re-
called to a throng at Chambersburs on
Tuesday the fact that in 1855 he led the
fight in Huntington County for prohibit
tion.

COURSE OF THE
EUROPEAN WAR
Military and Naval Operations Con-
sidered in Relation to Their
Effect on Whole Situation.

War operations In France this week
were devoted largely to flanklng and
counter fanking movements character
ized by terrific fighting. as each advance
met with stubborn resistance. No de-
cision was reached In the great conflict,
first known at the Battle of the Aisne,
and now as the Battle of the Seven
Rivers.
The feature of the week was the north
westerly trend of the battle line and the
violent effort of the Germans to sweep
down through Belgium and outflank the
Allies This apparently has failed, al
though much ground was gained by the
invaders. on the other hand the Allies
have pushed their lines to the northwest
and are endeavoring to cut off the Ger
mans operating against Antwerp. TIL"
movement means the shifting of the great
battle to Belgian soil. And this has
caused a lull in activities on the German
left. Almost no fighting has taken place
in the region of the Vosges.
a surprise of the week was the sudden
appearance of a strong German force
near Lille on the Allies extreme left,
threatening lines of communication with
French coast towns. The Allies were
forced to retire at some points, but re-
gained the lost ground after several days
of fighting. Apparently the new movement
by the invaders has removed the proba-
hility Of the Allies relieving the siege Of
Antwerp.
More dependable accounts have come
from the southern field Of war, An Aus
TRAN army has advanced into Poland,
where it was Joined by a large German
force from Silesia. The combined forces
engaged in a bloody battle with the Rus
slams along the Vistula, northwest of Cra-
COW, but this conflict is only preliminary
to the great clash which is due for pos
session of Cracow. \ new Russian army
has moved toward Thorn in East Prussia,
great stronghold, regarded as the key
to Posen and thence Berlin. The Austrian
German junction came as a surprise 10
the Russians and may defeat the move
ment against Thorn
In Eastern GaliCia the Austrians have
been pushed nearer TO CraCow and the
Russian advance has crossed the Donaiec
River capturing Tarnow and other towns.
In the west Przemysl has succumbcd TO
the Russian bombardment, according to
late. but uncondrmed, report. Russia has
reported further progress in the Carpa-
THAN passage. but successful invasion of
Hungary is denied at Vienna,

FILIPINO FREEDOM

The Republican policy, s outlined In
party platforms and carried out by Re-
publican Administrations, was to educate
the Filipinos and give them larger and
larger measure of home rule. 1t has
produced excellent results and there has
been remarkable progress, but It is much
too early TO talk about promise or In
dependence The time when complete
self-government can be granted without
injustice to the people Of the Islands and
without ignoring our own obligations is
far In the future, and this makes II all
the more difficult TO understand the Ad-
mlnlstration's reasons for favoring en-
actment of the Jones bill at this time
Rochester Post-EXpress,
The autonomy question most positively
is not one to be decided on the utility or
inuttlity Of the Philippines to MS in case
OF war. If We are not justified in keep
Ing them in peace, will we be justified in
keeping them that we may draw on
their resources I'm the event OF war, that
they may become a target for our en-
emies TO strike at in striking at us, that
they may be forced to share in the de-
Vastation brought to us by a war in
which they may be only remotely con-
eerned?-St Louis Post Dispatch.
The question OF keeping the Philippine
islahds need not he considered from the
standpoint OF sef-interest az all, but
purely from that Of duty. The real ques-
lion today Is whether, having taken over
the Islands, We will do better for them
py giving them independence, or by keep
ing them under our guardianship. This
Is a query that can be answered only by
expert students OF conditions In the
archlpelago.-Detroit Free Press.
While the minority leader errs on the
SIDE OF argument. he Is right as 10 the
main question. The United States Is not
called on to commit itself on that ques-
uon at present. Such a commitment would
not only be subject 70 revocation By a
subsequent Congress, but would also
cause continued unrest in the Philippines
y would have been better 70 have met

aIs not now trained for self-government

are there is no need OF even discussing

VIEWS ON THE
NEW TRUST BILL
What Newspapers in All Parts of
the Country Think About the
CLAYTON Measure.

There are two considerations which APP
peal with much force to thoughtful people
at the present time. One is that there is
great danger in an overoentralized gov
ernment, and in too close political control
of industries The war in Europe has its
Industrial as we'll os It's political lessons.
Imperialism in industry is as bad as i'm
perialsm in government. Our people
have felt this, as has been shown by their
opposition to ship subsidies, to the Gov
ernment purchase and operation of mer-
chant marine and to extreme protection.
We have in the last few years seen an
enormous extension OF the functions of
the State The new banking and currency
law Is the latest manifestation of that
tendency. Possibly 1t will be just as well
to stop, at least long enough to catch our
breath.-Indlanapolis News.
"I believe" Senator Bristow Is quoted
as saying, that the President knows ex-
actly what this conference report does
and that he Is supporting It because he
does know what 1t does ] am convinced
that the President has surrendered his
Administration to the most sinister In
huences In this republic. There has been
no Administration since the beginning of
the Government which has so abjectly
surrendered to Wall street interests as
this one has done" Wherefore, in the
absence of any specific information as to
the terms of the conference agreement,
we are inclined to think It must be a
very wise and wholesome one.-Galveston
