STOP THE NAGGING

USTICE MESTREZAT has refused
the petition of Auditor General
Powell and State Treasurer Young
- to make their appeal in the mat
ter of the road funds now held up by
the State fiscal officers a supersedeas.
When the application was made to the
distinguished Democratic member OF
the court to intervene there was con-
siderable criticism over the course of
the fiscal officers of the Common
wealth. 1t was suspected that they
were passing over all the Justices
nearer the seat of government in order
to reach a member of the court who
was of the political faith opposed to
the party in power. Among lawyers
it was regarded as a purely political
move and Justice Mestrezat's decision
confirms the judgment of many who
have been watching the proceedings
that the effort to play politics in the
higher court will be a dismal failure
There seems to be now no excuse
for further haggling over the funds
for road-building. There is no reason
to believe that the States fiscal officers

IN A PICKWICKIAN SENSE

RESIDENT WILSON is still oi
- the opinion that the business
i men of the country are with him
in his antitrust bills despite the
fact that 55e chambers of commerce
in thirty-six States have voted against
these measures.
President Wilson cannot hope to
make anybody believe that these 559
chambers of commerce are prompted
in their decision by political motives
They are scattered over States many
of which gave majorities for Wilson
in 1912, and from a political stand
point might be expected to support
that which the Administration favors
Neither can he convince anybody
that the chambers were influenced in
their decision by the votes of trust
magnates. "Big Business" plays q
very small part in the affairs of boards
of trade and chambers of commerce
These are local bodies made up ot
men for the most part engaged in re-
tail trade-men who would be most

Mr.. Wilson proposes If they were sc
drawn as to remedy the evils at which
they are directed.
These men have scanned the Presi-
dents bills closely-and have placed
their stamp of disapproval on them
almost without exception. They have
concluded that the remedy does not
lie in the measures advocated by the
Administration.
Yet the President calmly informs us
that 'the businessmen of the coun-
try are with me-"
What a fine thing for Mr.. PickwicB
that his fame was established before
the psychological philosopher took the
center of the stage!

STOTESBURY TAKES RAP
AT PRESIDENT WILSON

New York, July BE. T. Stotes-
bury, the financier, raped the Wilson
administration in an interview given
inLondon as he was boarding the
1mperator with Mrs. Stotesbury for the
return trip to this country. He said
that Wilson methods are responsible
for any business depression that exists
at the present time and that the
sooner Congress puts on its hat and
goes home the better will be con-
ditions generally.
The Wilson administration is not
doing the business of the country any
good" Mr.. Stotesbury said. "The sit
uation is so very uncertain that | don't
care to make any predictions for the

OUT WITH THE TRUTH

[From the Wilkes Barre Record.1
Congressman Palmer's statement that
Senator Penrose and his lieutenants
have violated the Corrupt Practices act
in the recent primaries campaie. to
such an extent that the Senator could
not be seated If elected is of more in
terest than the general run of campaign
statements. Mr.. Palmer should be call
ed upon to prove what he says or re-
tract
1t is freely charged that financial af-
fairs on the Palmer Mccormick side are
not as they should be-. Here, too. there
are sinister rumors of the expenditure
of sum of money vastly in excess of
the filed account If Mr.. Palmer were
to uncover the alleged Penrose fraud
1t is likely that the friends of Mr.. Pen
rose would bestir themselves and look
a little more thoroughly into the Pal
mer- Mccormick business. Possibly Mr.
Palmer is afraid to go further than to
make vague charges. Let him come
out into the open il he has the evidence
and is not afraid.

MUCH GOOD AT SMALL EXPENSE


AUPHIN county taxpayers,
through the activities of Harry
l. A. Boyer. county inspector of
weights and measures, have
been saved hundreds, perhaps thou
sands, of dollars. During the month
of June this busy official made 2,246
weight and measure inspections. OF
this number 426 were condemned and
256 were adjusted.
In the condemning of 426 false
weights Mr.. Boyer Immediately put
out of commission that many devices
for robbing the consumer of what
rightfully belongs to him. Any one
who knows anything about weights
knows that one false measure can do
a lot of stealing in a day. What 426
could do is more than a groat, most
assuredly.
An interesting feature of the inspec-
tors report is his expense account. It
totals just s23.52. And he spent this
small sum on trips to Steelton, Middle
town, Lykens and Wiconisco.

manufactured products. The falling

was only S.3 per cent. of the whole

THERE Is NO PSYCHOLOGY IN IDLE
CARS

lFrom the Philadelphia Public Ledger. !
One freight car In every thirty was
idle on June Is, 1918. This year, on the
same date, one car in every ten was not
in use. "A sign of a wholesome business
condition is demand for freight cars
that cannot be supplied. Not only is
there surplus of unused cars in the
greater part of the United States, but
the few roads which find themselves
short Of cars report that last year they
needed 7,199 more cars than they could
obtain on June Is. and this year they
needed only $50 more. Moreover, the
shortage is not in the Industrial or
commercial sections, Eastern Pennsyl-
vania, New Jersey New York, Mary
land or Alabama. In these districts
there are $4,000 idle cars, or more than
one-half of the total surplusage in the
whole country last year
The reports from Washington regard
ing the Presidents talks with business
men Indicate that he has learned more
about business conditions than he knew
before. One fact he must soon learn, if
he has not discovered it already is that
there is nothing "psychological' in the
car figures.

ONLY sTIRs CONFIDENCE

buffalo Evening Newsl
1t is by no means with a feeling of
arrogance that Republicans report pri-
mary results and registration figures
which indicate very marked return
of the members OF that party to the
old rank.
There is no doubt that the party
to-day is a different organization from
that of two years ago, to say nothing
of four or six or any other number Of
years farther back.
1t is the one dependable political
organization in this country. 1t is the
conservative organization of the coun-
try. 1t is the one under whose hands
the country has enjoyed the greatest
prosperity, the best Legislation and
the soundest leadership.
1t is only natural that after men
have made an excursion under charge
of the Democratic party and have come
to grief In consequence, that they are
already tired of their experiment and
will have no more of 1t.
Confidence in the recapture of the
next Congress is abundantly justified
by all the information thus far OBJ
talnable on the subject That is no
ground for arrogance. It is simply
a ground for confidence and 1t is a
stimulus also to even better ways OF
doing things and to higher regard for
the public interests.

is U. 5. INDUSTRY TO COLLAPSE.

From the Philadelphia Public LEDGER
The manufacturers of the United
States have labored for half century
or more to cultivate the precious fruit
of industrial prestige They have rails
ed in that brief period American in
dustry to equal and in manv instances
to surpass, uhat of progressive coun-
tries of centuries standing.
The prestige of American manufac-
turers attained by such a gallant strug-
gle is to be destroyed by those who
neither understand its significance nor
realize its priceless value. 1t was the
same faulty and experimental legisla-
tion that reduced the prestige of the
United States on the sea-that put into
the hands of foreigners the gigantic
carrying trade of this country. The
prestige of American business is being
1egislated away-with the best inten-
tions in the world-on the part of the
experimenters. More than good inten-
tions are necessary to insure good re-
suits. The prestige of American in
dustry is not trivial thing to be swept
thoughtlessly aside-it is priceless

ards 1t is the essence and sum of

through paying out the funds in dis
pute.
AS a result of the long hold-up OF
the necessary funds for maintenance
now amounting to about one million
and a quarter dollars. the highways
under the jurisdiction of the State
Highway Commissioner are in need OF
prompt repair and unless operations
are commenced at once the. State will
be involved in enormous expense to re-
store these roads to proper condition
On this point the Wilkes-Barre Record
says:
Many of the roads upon which an
enormous sum of money has been
expended are in a deplorable state
of disrepair. Some of them are
actually dangerous. All the pur-
pose of improvement has been de-
feated by permitting the roads to
fall into a condition worse than
they were originally.
But the Record falls into the error
of blaming the State Highway Depart
ment for not reconstructing some OF
the highways in Luzerne county. II
says:
The stretch of highway between
Dallas and Harvey's Lake Is an IN
stance OF complete deterioratlon:
travelled roads in eastern Pennsyi-
vania, and 1t should be attended to
Immediately. The county authori-
their hands were tied by reason of
the fact that the road is under the
jurisdiction of the state A forcible
Ifgrh
.partment should be made for the
repair of this and other roads IN
Luzerne county.
Manifestly the Record oVerlooks the
fact that Highway Commissioner Big
Glow has been endeavoring in every
way possible to obtain the funds which
the Legislature set apart for the main
tenance and reconstruction of the
highway system. He has been blocked
at every turn by the action of Auditor
General Powell, who refused to honor
the Highway Commissioners warrants
for road work. Legal proceedings
were instituted and a decision favor
able to the State Highway Depart.
ment was given by the Dauphin
County Court. Thereupon an appeal
was taken by the Auditor General and
State Treasurer to the Supreme Court
but this appeal was not instituted
until about the time the higher court
had taken it's summer vacation. Hence
the hold-up.
Justice Mestrezat, one of the most
impartial and distinguished of the
members of the court, having refused
to permit the appeal to act as su'
persedeas, it is reasonable to expect
that unless the fiscal officers of the
Commonwealth are playing politics
against the interests of the people and
the maintenance of the highways OF
the State, they will honor the war.

A SORRY HUMBUG

Why should we talk of country joys ~
'Tis Just the sheerest follyi
You need but hear some country noise
To know it's melancholy!
IT is in fact dismal place
That's by tradition hallowed:
Which frowning cliffs too oft disgrace;
Where fields. too oft. are narrowed.
The branches groan, the breezes sigh,
Unless perchance they're sobbing-
While near the shore, the sea gulls cry,
And oceans breast is throbbing.
The moaning of the harborbar,
The roaring of the billows,
Are quite as apt all mirth to mar
AS are the weeping willows.
The country, then, you must confess,
Denuded of it's mask, oh!
Is just bowling wilderness!
A miserable fiasco!
