PRESIDENTIAL INTERPRETING

[From the Philadelphia Public Ledger. ]
1t was not necessary to wait for these
recent DEVELOPMENTS for proof that the
administration is supporting one fac
tion of the party here. The patronage
has been turned over to the Palmer
Mccormick reorganizers for such uses
as they see fit to make of it, and they
have been taking care of their own In
the distribution of offices. President
own State, was hardly more deeply i'm
plicated in the factional squabbles there
than President Wilson Is in Pennsylya-
mia. Although the New York fight had
caused the death of Garfield Presi-
dent Arthur did not hesitate to take
sides in the struggle and force the
nomination of Folger. His stupendous
blunder made Grover Cleveland Cover
nor and then President. 1t killed Folger,
because of chagrin at his overwhelm-
ing defeat. and 1t prevented an effective
reunion or the two wings of the party
for ten years.
The Presidents since Arthur's time
have .profited by his fatal mistake, for
they have refused to interfere in State
contests, save occasionally in their own
States when conditions seemed to make
1t safe. Not only is 1t political folly to
pursue a different course: 1t is an inter-
ference with the freedom of the States.
for 1t Is an attempt to coerce the voters
into surrendering their convictions un-
der pain of disfavor in Washington
However good the end desired and how
ever worthy of preference the reorgan-
izers are, Presidential interference in
purely State nominations pending a
choice at the primary election is not
justiflable, either in ethics or expedi-
enCy.

A COUNTRYWIDE MOVEMENT

-UNSON HAVENS, in his admir-
IL III able address before the new
lvl Chamber of Commerce at it's
first MONDAY luncheon on Sat-
urday, told his audience that the move
ment which has resulted in the aban-
donment of the old Harrisburg Board
of Trade for the newer and more
effective organization is but part and
parcel of a countrywide movement
in which wide-awake and progressive
cities everywhere are participating.
Those who have been active In the
formation of the Chamber of Com
merce knew this, but it was probably
first-hand information for many busi-
nessmen present, some of whom may
have questioned the wisdom of the
change and who may have looked
upon the new body in the light of n
doubtful experiment.
Mr.. Havens told his hearers that
live communities everywhere are
abandoning their old organizations for
new ones formed along the lines
adopted here. The old boards of trade
had served their purposes we'll

TNDER the new system of nomi-
nations, the duty of promul-
eating the party's principles
and the things for which IL
stands will devolve upon the Republi-
can State committee when it meets
here in, few weeks.
This platform must be no milk and
water pronouncement. The time has
come to meet fairly and squarely the
issues which are presented, and the
party leaders cannot hope to sidestep
or postpone action.
OF all the questions which are
pressing for solution in some sane
way the most insistent is the control
and regulation Of the liquor traffic.
Even now this discussion has gone
beyond the local option stage and the
party leaders are being urged to con-
slider an amendment to the Constitu-
tion prohibiting the manufacture and
sale of Intoxicating liquors in Penn
sylvania.
Then comes that other paramount
issue"-the woman suffrage amend
ment-and upon this question many
prominent leaders have also changed
their views. A plank favoring suf-
frage may be adopted.
Altogether it is period of political
upheaval, and what would have been
considered radical in the extreme a
few years ago is now REGARDED as
quite conservative and logical from
the party standpoint

marks were general in their nature,

led up to the formation of the local

POLITICAL BOSSISM

= OUDER and still louder grows
the protest of the rank and file
A of the Democratic and Wash
ington parties in Pennsylvania
against the bossism that has charac-
terized the preliminaries of the pri-
mary campaign.
Democrats of prominence and news
papers Of the same political faith are
outspoken in their denunciation of the
domineering and arbitrary methods Of
the three or four men who have not
only dictated the nominees for all the
important places, but have bestowed
upon themselves the chief honors,
brushing aside all others as unworthy
their consideration.
So unexpected and audacious was
the move at Washington that Demo-
Gratis for several days stood aghast
and speechless, but they have recov-
cred and all over the State are heard
the most ominous threatenings
against the group of bosses who, de-
nouncing bossism and all it's works,
have made all other political bosses
look like tyros in the game.
Yet Mr.. Palmer has the sublime
nerve to insist in public statement
that mo attempt at dictation has been
resorted to by the Democratic party"
Similar domination and bossism are
charged against the Progressive party
managers in this State, and protests
have been uttered all over the Com
monweaith against the efforts of few
men in the conference held in this city
to put ticket in the field in advance
of the Statewide primary which was
demanded in vociferous tones by these
same bosses.
If the day of the political boss is
at an end, as has been asserted by
these two parties in pharisaical terms,
then 1t is up to the voters to rebuke
those who would violate in its very
essence and spirit the new system of
laws providing for wide-open pri-
maries and direct nominations.

PENNSYLVANIA APPLES

OMETIMES we suspect that our
old friend DR.. Wiley is contract
~ ing the Bryan Chautauqua habit.
1t is doubtless pleasant to hear
oneself talk when every word falls like
the jingle of a silver dollar into a
bankers till. Also, to insure re
turn date" 1t is unquestionably true
that one must please ones audience.
Which is doubtless why the emil
nent food specialist journeyed from
New York clear Through Pennsylvania
to tell Ohio folks that the Ohio apple
is the best in the world. The Ohio
apple show managers hired him to do
it and doubtless they were we'll pleased
with the Job.
However, 1t might be we'll for DR..
Wiley to do his advertising frankly
as does his fellow publicity expert
Elbert Hubbard, who makes no bones
of being an "ad" writer and who
gets away with it, to the tune of
thousands of dollars every year.
Doubtless DR.. Wiley knows that the
Pennsylvania apple stands at the very
head of the list in point of flavor and
keeping qualities. The New York
apple is popular. So is that of Oregon,
which for size and careful packing
leads the market. But who ever
heard of the Ohio fruit in serious
competition with that Of Pennsylvania
where the two are sold in the same
market?
Come now, Doctor, what would you
say If the Pennsylvania Horticultural
Society were to ask you to deliver a
lecture on the Pennsylvania apple?
