Hercules in Bondage

BECAUSE the soundness of Republican
- principles has been confirmed by the
risks and fatuites of Democratic National
Administration, the Republican party ap-
peals with redoubled force to the country.
Its long reign of accomplishments furnished
its positive warrant and now this has been
which, always on the verge of ruinous follies,
has been preserved from outright destruction
only by the hand of a President far stronger
in personal ascendency than in party
regularity.
Should Mr.. Wilson let go the steering
wheel, the legislative car would plunge
through the fence. BY exercising the pre-
negatives Of a benevolent autocrat, Mr.. VIII
son, with what measure of trbulation none
but he can fully know, has contrived to save
his party's face.
With the Republican party precisely the re-
verse Is true. The party principles are
sound; the party itself Is trustworthy and
efficient at the But II is blocked from
power by an evil leadership which the peo-
pie do not dare to trust with their national
destintes. The Republican party is the only
party in this State that can safely be given
political power if permitted to act of itself
free from boss dictation. 1t is the boss of
Republican Pennsylvania who has driven it
out of power and kept 1t out of power. It is
Penrose who has been the head and brains
Of that bipartisan betrayal of public inter
ests in this State which has shamed the
Republican party no less than it has lent the
Democratic party n fictitious influence that
alone II could not have eXerted

Abolish the Magistrates

YTNHE Magistrates Court system has again
i been disCredited by the scandals in the
"straw bail" cases traced to tho office of the
notorious MIR. Call. The prima facie EVIL
dence is quite sufficient to convince the pub
lie that the petty courts of justice In this city
are practically In league with the criminal
classes to safeguard them from the conse-
quences of their wrong-dong. They afford
no protection to law-abiding citizens who
look to them in vain for redress or simple
Justice.
Since the establishment Of the Municipal
Court the Magistrates have been a fifth
wheel to the coach, and very fiat wheel,
too. They should be abolished by a consti-
tutional amendment at the very earliest
opportunity. They have brought law and
justice into the utmost disrepute among the
most numerous class in the city, whose chief
protection they were intended to be against
Just such sharks and shysters as now use
them at will to harass and oppress those
whose real hope of justice and equity lies in
their prompt suppression.

mentally tries this and that on; wonders n
he will look as well as the others there.
The second fellow plugs on. IL he has "a
party to attend this evening, he will take
care OF the matter OF dress when evening
arrives. Now
Which young man do you suppose will get
the more real fun out of the party or the
ball game2 The fellow who used up his all
day energy in anticipating the occasion or
the fellow who enters into 1t fresh minded
and with sense of having accomplished
something worth while beforehand?
If your play is more important to you than
your work, your salary is too big, no mat
ter how small It is. If your work comes first
and stays there-some day the other fellow
will come to you for a job He will call you
lucky; but, doubt, he will still be en-
gagged in the selfsame eight -hour-a-day pur-
suit of secondary thlngs-trlhes.

Educational Appropriations

THE educational budget Of the city of
L New York for 1915 is expected to total the
magnificent sum of s43.139,3S7, the largest
amount ever spent by any municipality in the
history Of the world that it's children might
obtain educatlons, that they might become
useful citizens.
But large as is the sum which New York
spends for its splendid school system, Phila-
delphia is not only equally liberal, but, AS
matter of statistical fact, It spends more per
child than does New York. Next year the
metropolis will expend $5751 for each Of the
estimated total of 100000 pupils. This year
Philadelphia is spending $685. for each of
it's $4,000 students.
Philadelphia may pride itself on its schools.
1t is only a question of time when the old
structures will be replaced by new; when
vocational schools will come into vogue more
generally; when summer day and night
schools will be the rule rather than the ex-
ception.

"As Goes Maine"


From the New York Evening Mali
The Maine result demonstrates anew that the
Republican party cannot hope to regain public
confidence to the extent of winning State cleo
tons so long as it remains, in policy and In
leadership, under control of the men whose
course in 1912 forced 1t to the most overwhelm-
ing and huniatlng defeat that any national
political party ever suffered.
The Maine verdict foreshadows the national
verdict because its voters outside the preju-
dlces that affect people in large cities. They
accustomed to do their own thinking, and to
do 1t In their own peculiar way
That independence still prevails. Yesterdays
election, therefore, has significance that must
not be ninimized by students of national po-
litical currents. Coming from State In which
the Republican policy Of protection should, II
anywhere strengthen greatly the Republican
cause, the figures must be regarded show
ing that the asserted weakness of the Wilson
Administration is Republican hope rather than
fact Also to be reckoned with, as equally
decisive If not equally numerous as In 1912,
the forces that moved forward when the
Republican party under Barnes, Penrose and
Lorimer, moved backward Those forces
still looking forward. and they Repub-
lican party the horizon. 1t has not yet
caught up from the rear.
Maine sounds warning that must be needed
by Republicans in every state in which they
hope to retrieve their fallen fortune.

Treaties Of peace and arbitration are valuable
manifestations of public sentiment. They alsc
help to create and deepen right sentiment.
They are educational and they foster habits OF
thought that make for sobriety and moderation.
The Bryan commission treaties are designed to
insure delay and give reason and common sense
a chance. II such treaties had been in force i'm
Europe last July, and If Austria and SerVia TO
begin with, had lived up TO them and appointed
a high JOINT commission OF inquiry, the war

wished for at that anxious time. Without

themselves ample tiWe for reflection and sober
