Beat Penrose Win the Nation

M PENROSE could not be elected United
A'I states Senator from Illinois. In Califor-
MIA his candidacy would be ridiculed. In
Maine not a corporars guard would rally to
his support In Ohio he would be treated as
his prototype. Foraker, was treated. In Mis-
sour IT would not take 90 minutes to count
the votes he could get. In Maryland, another
doubtful state 1t would he Ponrose last, with
none of the other candidates in sight. So
cialist would poll more votes than he in Wis
consin and Iowa. In Washington there would
he an avalanche of women's ballots poled
against him. Where, East West. in any
doubtful state could Penrose command
following?
Yet this is the man who, pleading for pro-
lection, refuses to step aside and permit some
other man who could really do something for
protection to go to Washington, It is mock
cry Of reason to assume that the rest Of the
nation would follow Pennsylvania in devotion
to such n leader. It is sheer madness to sup
pose that there can be any rehabilitation OF
the Republican party so long as he is one
whose business is threatened to dedicate their
work and influence to the restoration Of Re-
publican policy in Washington. but every ef-
fort they make will be futile IL they insist
upon using as their representative a man
whose name is identified with the most thor
oughly discredited and hated system of poll
ties in America.
The national Republican party has many
enemies and Mr.. Penrose is the greatest Of
them all. In his own State and in his own
town he has alienated the independent Re-
publican press In no other Commonwealth
is there any Republican newspaper with any
pretentions whatever to independence that
would even consider apologizing for or ad-
vocating Penrosesm, They know it for what
It is They have no doubts about the cuckoo
being in the robins nest only in Pennsylva-
MIA is the party expected to be Little Red
Riding Hood Elsewhere and here, too, the
alluring front Of the house of Penroseism
does not deceive observers. They have also
been looking at the back yard.

A Really Responsive Government

VTTHEE, in 1875 and thereabouts, a goodly
w proportion of the inhabitants of the
Thirteen Colonies threw off the yoke of Brit
ish bondage they thought, and their descend
ants after them, that they had acquired
considerable superiority over the rest of the
Anglo Saxon people. Il seems, however, that
in political matters the English trust them
selves much more implicitly than Americans
do. Their Constitution varies according 10
the will Of Parliament.
II was proposed Yesterday IN the House Of
Commons that the duration Of the present
Parliament be extended TO 1917, and it is
quite likely that the several parties will agree
TO such a continuance. The Government Of
Ireland act and the Welsh Church act, ac-
cordine 10 the probable arrangement, will
be simply relegated TO the future, and all at
tempts TO force a general election on domestic
Issues will be abandoned
After the "Pensionary Parliament" had sat
from 1860 10 1917 and lost all touch with the
country another Parliament limited the life
or each assembly TO three years. Then the
Septennial act prolonged It's possible life TO
seven years, and by the fve-year clause of
the Parliament act Of 1911 the term was
reduced. a Parliament rarely dies a nat
ural death, and now comes the generally IA
vored proposal % prolong the present one,
which has been in session since 1910, TO 1917
That means, ot course, the extension Of the
Cabinet tenure for one year over the statu-
tory limit. Where, except in England
can be found a governmental system so
quickly adjustable 70 the needs and exigen-
cies Of the time? No slow moving machinery
70 he operated 70 effect a change necessary
20 the new conditions, no referendum, no con-
sr.tutional convention. Simply a response on
the part Of the men IN Parliament and the

addressed his constituents at Bristol; Your
representative owes you not his industry only
but his judgment"

Sir-I am a reader Of the Public Ledger and

questions of public interest and its inde-
pondence In politics OF late I have been In

fact that the PUBLIC LEDGER vigorously opposed
his nomination. and edttorially declared that
Penrosesm was a moral ISSUE l rejoice that
you decided TO take a stand against his cleo
tion in favor OF Palmer.
With the wide circulation which the Evening

interested in the forthcoming November cleo

about the defeat of Pcnrose, are very much

May / not urge upon you the very grave re-
sponsbty which you hold as editor OF
this very excellent paper? The primary cam
paiCn committed you against Penrose. and your
active opposition to his election during the
next two months would have n great influence
in ending his opportunity further to misrepre-

hope, indeed, that you will see your way
clear to oppose, with all the editorial and news
power of your paper, the claims of Penrose
for election in this campaign.

Transit a Ingsernant to Hold.Backs.

Tn THE letter sent out by James c. Bal
i four and John NJ. FoEeisarger urging the
stockholders Of the Union Traction Company
to protest TO the company's directorate
against acceptance Of the suggestion relative
to rapid transit made by the Rapid Transit
Company, appears this statement:
"A committee Of the Board Of Directors Of
the Rapid Transit Company has come before
the Board OF Directors Of the Union Traction
Company with the proposal that Union Irac-
tion stockholders shall give the Rapid Tran
Sit Company financial support TO the extent
Of supplying funds for the extension and
equipment of existing lines AND FOR THE
EQtIPMENT OF TIL. Now PR0P0SE5RL, ,t5,,,F, 5L,
RAPID TRANSIT LINES"
The agreement resulting from conferences
between the Department OF City Transit and
the Rapid Transit Company, under the cap
ton, Union Traction Cooperation says:
"The Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company
will rely upon the Union Traction company
to aid in securing ONLY SUCH FUNDS As
WILL BE REQUIRED FOR THE NORMAL
EXTENSION OF THE EXISTING SYSTEM,
the requirements for which will be greatly
lessened by the establishment Of the new
high speed lines"
The discrepancy between the two utterances
Is obvious and vital The Union Traction
Company has not been asked and will not
be asked TO provide funds of any sort or In
any amount for the proposed new system
The Union Traction Company, Of course, IS
at perfect liberty TO decline to participate in
the program. It may, If it wishes forego the
guarantees offered by the city against loss
of net income cccas!oned by diversion Of traf-
fic to the high-speed lines and the abolition
of exchange tickets But the Union Traction
Company cannot prevent the achievement OF
rapid transit in Philadelphia There is no
company that do that.
The thousands Of workers, men and women,
who are paying six cents a day more than
they ought to pay for conveyance to and
from their work and the thousands Of others
who enjoy a fve-cent fare, but lose pre-

are not interested in the details OF finance.
