mastering In the Nations

FTHEY say that Sir Edward Grey has
L gone ashin' " again, this time in the dip
lomatic waters of Bucharest. The conse-
quences of his trip are said to be an agree
ment with Russia which will permit Ru-
mania to enter the war on favorable terms.
Old scars of thirty years have been healed;
perhaps even the Rumanian territory which
Russia then took is to be returned.
Farther south in the Balkans there are
still few difficulties to be met. Greece and
servia, for instance, protest against conces-
sions Of land in Macedonia which the Allies
are said TO have agreed on as the price Of
Bulgaria's aid, But the adjustment of such
disputes can only be matter OF time and
argument.
In the end England and her allies will
draw the whole of the Balkans into their
league. In the eighteenth century England
hired mercenaries from Hesse Today she
draws whole nations into the greatest and
in every way the most remarkable war the
world has SEEN

But what are the primary colors of this
political spectrum? Sometimes there are
only two, Gang and Reform This year
there are four and an analysis of them may
elucidate the business of shading" the
phase into which the campaign seems now
to be developing in the absence of an early
crystallization of enthusiasms around DOM
mating personalities.
The four types of mayoralty possibilities
(reiected in corresponding sections of the
public are % Gang men, (2) Organization
men, (3) Party men and "a independents
1t is a rough classification and only a con-
venience William Ware has shade" which
is expressed by the man in the street some
times when he says, He's better than Nc
Nichol or Penrose, anyhow" So for prac-
tical purposes call McNichol and Penrose
Gang men, the Wares Organization men.
typical party man is Brumbaugh. A typical
Independent is Blankenburg. Between the
last two shades" there is only the difference
of method.
The most interesting thing to watch for
now in the campaign will be the answer
to this question:: Has William Ware ad-
vanced sufficiently in his progress toward
Party calibre, of the Brumbaugh order. TO
encourage an open debate among prominent
Republicans, who are not professional poll
ticians, as to who would be a good man for
Mayor and, then, If good free man should
develop boom" support that boom Qt
Nigh. conceivably turn out to be his own);
or will he enter into an understanding with
MeNichol to unite with him In support of a
good man"-just good" enough to be
strong Republican candidate In the ewes of
the people, but not really good enough TO be
above dividing the spolls equitably between
the two factions in the Organization?
In word. he has the chance of his life
now to align himself with the Party rather
than with the Organization.

You Can't Do II, Gentlemen

UOU can't put 1t over gentlemen.
l. You meet at your banquets and over your
champagne talk Of whom you will or will
not make Mayor Of Philadelphia Your
mouths water for the tens Of millions which
the municipality will spend during the next
four years. But your jealousies rise UP be-
tween you. You are afraid, each one Of you,
that the other will get more than his share.
You boast Of your disregard of the people,
who. you say will take whatever candidate
you care to give them and swallow him and
you whole. You plan a usurpation of the
franchise and pretend to be sure you can do
with the city as you will.
1t can't be done. This taxpayer has had
taste of efficiency in municipal government;
that taxpayer knows that he will be
mulcted in double damages unless the city
treasury is protected, 1t is all right for Tom,
Dick and Harry to say that they are tired
Of reform, that they want the old gang
back. They do not. The majority of citizens
hate graft they cherish no love for sleek
men who grow fat on public pundering,
When the time comes to vote for right or
vote for wrong they will line up and vote
for the right. And they resent, as every
good citizen must, the purpose of the gang
to meet in secret and decide in advance how
they shall vote.
The next Mayor of Philadelphia, like the
present one. will be an honest, God-fearng
earnest man, with an eye single to the pub
lie veal Not even the Organization, with
all its leprous power, can put over any
other kind of candidate. The leaders under
stand this. They talk otherwise for appear
ance sake, but they know that the good old |
days are over, that never again can they |
place a mongre instead of a bulldog to
guard the treasury doors.
