THE SAME OLD PARTY.

Now and then a CLEAN of intelli-
gence and Of comprehension of actual
conditions is seen along the republi
can horizon. The Philadelphia Public
Ledger, steadfast supporter of the
old party, tearfully recalls the bygone
days when 10 be "A republican meant
TO thrill and tingle with splendid en-
thusiasm, TO order all policies and ac-
'tiOns by moral principles, TO key all
movements TO the call of lofty ideals
The members of the party in those
days. il says felt themselves conse-
Grated because they were under the
thrall OF great motives and following
the leadership of great men.
Not 10 desire that the party shall be
restored to that standing, the Ledger
says, is 10 confess that ali the splendOr
and chiValry have died out OF pOlit-
ical life and that the party is ignObly
content with the sordid and the base.
But rehabilitation. it points out, must
come by regeneration, and reSenefa-
ton involves being born again. 1t
goes on to say:
The republican party must have an
infusion of new life. The vitality OF a
political party is in its motives, aspi-
rations ideals and conceptions OF ser
vice. When a party exists only to
perpetuate itself it inevitably decays
and dies. Leaders whose only claim
to position lies in the fact that they
have lived on the party in the past are
parasites, whether they are known as
street cleaners or senators. Parasites
take from and add nothing to organ
ism. They suck the life out of party
and in taking what they want they
poison what remains. To rehabilitate
the republican party We must pour
new blood and pure blood into its de-
pleted veins. New names. new slogans,
new rules will not accomplish the end
desired. We must have new ideals,
new enthusiasm, new motives.
1t is 70 the credit Of the public
Ledger that il realizes the conditions
Of its party and is honest enough 10
proclaim the truth, but in doing this it
stands almost alone among the papers
of its party; nor does il represent the
leaders who are engaged in the efforts
10 rally it's forces. Needless To say.
the Ledger is opposed TO the renomi-
nation Of Senator PenrOse, but plain
indications are that PenrOse who
stands for all that led TO the down
fall Of the party will again be chosen
TO lead that party ia Pennsylvania.
In other states il is the same.
Barnes is still party dictator in New
York. Senator Root, who might have
been a great leader but who, as re-
dictionary has due more harm 10 re-
Publicanism than half a dozen men
like Barnes and Penrose. because of
his superior ability. Is talked of again

ASSESSMENT OF SCHOOL PROP
ERTY

Though a difference of opinion eX
lists between the majority and mi
nority members of the city board of
education as to the legal status Of the
school city with respect to assessments
for public improvements the majority
will depend upon what it believes to
be statutory warrant for not contest
ing any reasonable assessment on ac-
count OF the opening OF William st. be-
tween Colfax and Michigan avs.
In the opinion of Mr.. Neff, secretary
OF the board, the assessment should
not exceed from $4,000 10 $4,000.
ANY sum above the maximum amount
and perhaps the minimum amount
might. MT. Neff believes subject the
board to criticism. This may be as
Mr. Neff apprehends. but we are un-
sble TO see why requiring the school
city's property 10 pay its fair proper
ton Of the expense should subject the
hoard to criticism. even If that pro-
portion should amount to more than
$4,000.
While y is true that all OF the ex-
Iense incurred on account of the
opening OF William st. north must be
paid ont OF the pockets of taxpayers in
general. except the part realized from
the assessment Of individual interests,
il really makes a difference just which

money comes from. II is only fair

Of the most appalling nature. In the
events which have marked the pro-
gress Of the strike from its beginning
months ago. in the passions Of men
and the miseries Of women and child
rem it has been a series Of tragedies.
Nothing has been gained either for
the cause of labor or for the individ-
ual. IL has been a succession of loss
es, irreparable losses.
And for this the officials of the
Western Federation of Miners are held
responsible. Very properly. taking
this view of the situation, the mine
operators require that the strikers ap-
plying for unemployment shall sur
render their membership cards in the
federation OF miners, but are not
barred from joining other unions. The
operators have steadfastly refused TO
recognize the federation. and now
through its own misdeeds, its power
and influence in the copper mines Of
Michigan are destroyed.
A few men must shoulder the re-
spOnsibility for all this. The miners
blindly followed their leaders and were
led into the trap from which there
was no escape except by retracing
their steps.
