THE 80 PER CENT AND THE 10
PER CENT
bristol Courier. !

At meeting of the Washington
party State committe in Harrisburg
when William Finn, the ulti-mil-
lionaire contractor boss of Pittsburgh,
delivered his followers to the Demo
cratic free trade candidate for Cover
nor, he made this amazing assertion:
/ want YOU men to realize what
we are up against. Ninety per
cent of the business corporations
are supporting Penrose for United
States Senator and Brumbaugh
for Governor.
Consider for a moment what this
means. Finn and his Washington
party associates have always been
careful to explain that they are not
antagonistic to corporations, but only
to bad corporations. In making the
assertion that 80 per cent of the
business corporations of Pennsylvania
were for Penrose and Brumbaugh,
Finn did not say 90 per cent of the
bad corporations, but 80 per cent of
all the corporations doing business
in this State. Since the great bulk of
our business nowadays is transacted
by corporations, Finn was in reality
asserting that 80 per cent of the busi-
ness men of Pennsylvania were sup
porting Penrose and Brumbaugh.
That is to say, 8 out of 10 of the
leading citizens of Pennsylvania
manufacturers, bankers, merchants
the men who pay the wages and head
all those multifarious enterprises
which give our society form and sub
stance-are demanding the re-elec-
ton of United States Senator Penrose
and the election of Martin G.. Brum-
baugh as Governor.
What an admission for a man who
is seeking to defeat the will of this
vast majority of reputable citizens!
No Republican campaign orator
could have advanced a stronger argu-
ment in behalf of the men and poll
cies to be voted for on the Republican
ticket.
Finn convicts himself as an unscru-
pulous boss by his public confession
that he is endeavoring by manipula-
ton, intrigue and the unlimited use
of McCormick's dollars to defeat the
will of 80 per cent and to force upon
them the platform and candidates of
the 10 per cent.

T HE victory of Senator Burton
and his Republican colleagues
i in the United States Senate,
whereby the Republicans stood
united to save the country $33, 100000
while the Democrats were trying to
get hold not only of that vast sum
of money but to tax the people an
additional $1oO,00O,0OO,. was one of
honesty over pork"
The Democrats were determined to
put their river and harbor graft meas
ure through, but when they ran up
against Burton they met the most
well-informed man in the United
States on the waterway situation.
Burton has been in Congress twenty
two years, during much of which
time he was a member of the rivers
and harhors committee. Consequently,
he knew Just what in the Democratic
measure represented actual needs and
the quantity of pork" 1t contained.
Burton, who is not coming back to
the Senate, by the way, and therefore
could not be accused of playing poll
tics for selfish reasons, showed that
the Democratic bill proposed the i'm
provement of scores of Southern
streams that no amount of money will
ever make available for navigation.
He proved that it was backed by
Democrats for the purpose of getting
party ammunition, and he made it
impossible for the bill to go through
as originally framed.
The country owes debt of graft
tude to Burton that figured out in
dollars and cents, amounts to about
$3S,00o,000, and Burton, it ought to
be remembered, is a Republican, and
therefore one of the Congressman
whom Democrats have been berating
for their alleged extravaganza.
How long will the country continue
10 be fooled, we wonder, by a party
that, like the bluejay of our Northern
forests, shouts thief! thief" while it
is robbing it's neighbors right and
left.

CLIPPING" THE HAN

A CHAUTAUQUA lecturer in I'LL
N nois the other day delivered
4 \ himself of a TRADE against the
modern practice Of hat tip
ping" saying that no woman felt her
self bonored by such a salute and that
it offered "a means whereby the male
flirt often approached in an appar-
emily polite manner his helpless prey"
1t was a modern device of the devil"
he asserted. and ought to be ruled
out of the book of social etiquette"
We very much fear our Chautauqua
friend was talking to the grandstand
with the hope of getting a few lines
in the newspapers, and regardless of
the facts in the case. The practice of
"hat-tipping," as the lecturer terms it.
is very old, indeed. When a person
was made captive in the olden days
his conqueror stripped him of his
weapons and clothing and left him
without anything he could call his own
The captive was thus made a slave
his lack of clothing being evidence of
his subjugation. We need only to
look at the sculptures of the Assyrians
to see the truth of this fact And in
Isaiah Xxx. "a, we find the following
statement: And the Lord said. Like
ss my servant Isaiah hath walked
naked and barefoot three years for a
sign, so shall the King of Assyria lead
away the Egyptians prisoners and the
Ethiopians captives, young and old,
naked and barefoot"
The first step. then, in tracing the
origin of taking off the hat is the sur
render OF the clothing among primi-
tive and ancient peoples as a mark of
submission. The next step is the
uncovering of the body as mark of
reverence. There are all degrees of
uncoverfng, though often only the
most valuable parts of the clothing
are taken off in the presence of
superiors.
Captain Cook tells us that during
his stay at Tahiti two men came on
board and, as a sign of respect. took
off the greater part of their clothing
and put it on Cook and his friend. In

THE ANNUAL INSPECTION

4 FTER every Fall inspection
"A there come from Pennsylvania
= Railroad headquarters rumors
that it is to be the last: that
the expense is too great and the re-
suits not sufficient to warrant a con-
tinuance. but every September the
trains make their annual observation
trips and the prizes for excellence of
roadbed and track construction are
awarded.
Whether or not the inspections and
awards have anything to do with it is
matter for the management to de-
eide, but the fact remains that the
Pennsylvania main line is one of the
smoothest and best constructed pieces
of railway in the entire country. The
men that make it so deserve consid-
Grafton, far more than they get, by
the way, and it would be hardly right
to take away from them the oppor-
tunity that comes to them to add to
their material rewards in the yearly
contest for prizes.

declared. That turned the trick in
favor of the Harrisburg millionaire
and he was given the place on the
Washington ticket of which the poor
scholar had been dispossessed. Ideals
yielded to the cash consideration.

! ! be made to appear to particu-
larry fine advantage during the
coming Firemens Convention, when
many thousands of visitors will be
with us for week. Not only are the
Chamber of Commerce and the vari-

for their part in the big decorative

citizens should do what they can in
the way of displaying flags and in
Illuminating their homes at night.
The Highway Department will have
extra forces of street cleaners at work
and the public parks will be lined
with benches for weary pedestrians.
Every bit of rubbish should be re-
moved and, in short, everything pos
sible should be done to make Harris
burg attractive and a pleasant place
for the entertainment of the hosts
that will come from all parts of the
State.
