THE SOFT ANSWER.
General Seott's Retort to His Whist
Partners Apology.

After his retirement General Scott
passed the summer OF 1862 at Cozzen's
hotel. West Point. where every even
ing party of gentlemen adjourned %
the generals sitting room for their
game. Being a good player, the bost
was usually victorious, but il he and
ais partner were ever beaten Scotts
re was made manifest
One night il happened that the usual
party was missing. What was TO be
doneg The. general must have bis
whist. There happened to be staying
at the hotel a judge. who was asked to
DO the favor OF taking the fourth hand.
With some protest on bis part he
agreed to do It. By cutting for part
ners the general and the judge played
together and were Internationally
beaten.
Knowing how 1t irritated The gen
eral to lose the game. the judge as he
rose from the table said In his most
dignlfied and courtly way: Il formerly
played a fairly good game OF whist.
but have been out of practice so long
that ] am somewhat rusty. j hope
that fact may be taken as an excuse
for my mistakes"
Whereupon the general arose with
equal dignity and retOrted. IL am glad

latent talent and not with a natural
born fooi."

Nows THE TIME

To guard that cough or
cold. Don't wait until it is too late
before taking something. The best
thing we know of is our cough syrup
or Phospho-Qalnine tablets. They
check a common cold before It leads
to something more serious and often
times save a good sized doctors bill.

EVENING. AUGUST ii
PLATFORM POTHER

THOSE few Democrats in general
and the Democratic candidate
Il for Governor in particular who
are so seriously disturbed over a
Republican platform of principles are
giving themselves unnecessary worry.
They pretend to forget that the Re-
publican candidates chosen in an open
primary after full discussion declared
the principles for which they stood
long ago and the mere PRONUNCIATION
of a set of resolutions by State COM
nnittee or any other kind of a COM
mittee will have about as much effect
upon the people as the high-sounding
phrases and empty pledges of the little
men who are now fussing over the
State about the welfare of the people,
which, being interpreted. means their
own political welfare.
Nor have the people forgotten that
these same individuals who are so
noisily proclaiming the demand of
the pee-pul" for a declaration of
principles on the part of the Repub-
licans made no comment or apology
when the solemn pledges of the Balti-
more platform were flagrantly and
openly violated by the nominees of
that convention.
The people of PENNSYLVANIA this year
are going to give a good deal more
attention to personalities than they
are to alleged principles; to fitness and
experience than to high-b brow talk and
sophomore declarations.
1t is all very well for parties to de-
clare their purposes and principles,
but under the present open primary
system the enunciation of platforms
by committees elected on the same
day the party nominees are chosen
cuts mighty little figure.
In the November election the people
are going to determine for themselves
the men whom they want to servo
them not upon wordy resolutions, but
upon their qualifications for sensible
and efficient administration. Besides,
Senator Penrose. DIR. Martin G. Brum-
baugh and other Republican candi-
dates long ago made a declaration of
the important things for which they
stand.

DEMOCRATIC BROILs

TT is no concern of the Republican
party that the men who have been
: prating of reform and undying de-
votion to the people are now en-
gagged in a hand-to-hand encounter
over the loaves and fishes of public
patronage, but the fact that these con-
troversies exist in every county of
the State demonstrates how much OF
sincerity there is in their noisy profess
sions of reform. The multi million
aires who dominate the silk-stocking
element of the Pennsylvania Demo-
cracy are being called to account with
great frequency nowadays and the
signs of trouble are increasing with
the passing of summer.
Perhaps the most serious diversion
is that of the new Democratic organi-
zation in Philadelphia, with which
such men as DR.. w. Horace Hoskins,
president of the Democratic Club,
have identified themselves. DIR. Hos
kins charges that the Palmer McCor-
mick bosses while pretending to fight
the "old guard" are deliberately deal
ing with them and exchanging patron
age for votes.
1t is little wonder under the cir
cumstances that the Republicans who
were drawn away from their party
allegiance two years ago, and through
that diversion made possible the pres
ent administration at Washington, are
returning to the colors in constantly
increasing numbers, not only in Penn
sylvania, but throughout the country
All the reports indicate a steady
breaking down of the factional lines
and a vigorous concentration of Re-
publican forces on the firing line.
1t must be evident to anyone famil-
lar with political conditions that the
Democratic nominees in this State
are out of touch with the rank and
file on the party. The hand-picked
candidates are drifting about in an
effort to obtain support, but the vot-
ers of all parties have reached the
conclusion long ago that American
prosperity is synonymous with Re-
publican supremacy and they will take
no more chances in Pennsylvania or
elsewhere with Democratic expert
mentalists.
