What the State Owes to Mr.. Palmer

A MITCHELL PALMER will retire from
IA. active participation in the politics of this
Commonwealth with the respect of all de-
cent citizens. He is a Democrat and he de-
voted himself to the rehabilitation of his
party. He did not lead it to n victory at the
polls That is almost too much to expect in a
State where a large majority of the voters
are Republicans and where Democratic VIC
tories have been achieved only with the aid
of Republican votes, for the Democracy has
been used as q fail with which to chastise tho
Republican machine. But Mr. Palmer devoted
himself to making his party an effective
fail. Although in his work of reorganization
he repelled the leaders of the old bipartisan
gang and split the party, what is left of II
commands the confidence of the decent Demo-
Gratis and the decent Republicans. The
atmosphere here Is clearer because of his
work. Elections are real contests, and those
who believe in Democracy and Democratic
principles no longer go to the polls with the
suspicion that they have been sold out and
that voting is a farce
There ought to be enough self-respecting
Democrats here to make it impossible to
vive the old bipartisan arrangement under
which the Republican Organization controlled
the Democratic party through Penrose
Quay Democrats who were nothing but pollt-
cal mercenaries. The moral influence of Mr..
Palmer ought to be strong enough to per-
suade his associates to keep the faith.

Stains Of the Army Reserve

HNHE promoters of the American Legion
i need not be discouraged by Secretary Gar
rison's letter to General Leonard Wood sug-
gesting that army officers must have no con-
nection with outside organizations seeking to
gather information that will be useful In
forming an army reserve. The Secretary OF
War admits the Importance of getting such
information, and admits the value of the
work that the American Legion plans to do,
but he says the War Department Is making
an investigation on It's own account to dis
cover the most efficient way to accomplish
this very purpose.
If the War Department will continue It's
inquiry until 1t discovers a way to make the
men with military training Immediately
available in time of emergency. and will then
set about making them available, there will
be no further need for the American Legion
or any other private organization to do the
work which properly belongs to the Govern
ment But the department has been talking
about this thing for so many years that citi-
zens who understood the need just had to do
something on their own account They will
doubtless keep at 1t until the Government
actually begins to organize paper reserve
for the army

HUGHES AND THE PRESIDENCY

W. C. Hudson in the Brooklyn Eagle
One thing Is quite certain: There will be
no man or group of men at the next Repub-
lican convention with authority to represent
the views interests of Charles u. Hughes
That was the attitude he assumed when he was
talked OF for Governor of the State of New
York And 1 speak from exact knowledge when
l say that at the Saratoga Convention no man
represented him at that convention could
speak for him even say that II he were
nominated he would accept. His attitude was
that he did not want the nomination. How
ever. If, as represented to him, because
of the favor he had gained in his relation to
the insurance investigation, he was the one man
who could defeat the result of the deal in the
Democratic party, good citizen of the
State, he should be compelled to accept a nom
inatlon, but he had the right to know that the
demand for his nomination was genuine de-
mand and not the result OF the Vaccinations
of self-seekng politicians.
In a conversation with Mr. Hughes when this
affair was pending he said to this writer: 'I
have no liking for executive office. Such
ambition l have is after at the
bar TO round Off with term on the bench"
1t is to be assumed that from this he is in
a place entirely to his liking. Whether he has
changed his outlook have no means OF know
ing. 1t is my observation, over long term OF
years, that the possession OF power works
ernor of the State of New York, with all the
vast power that is lodged in the hands OF that
official, has had on his subsequent outlook on
public affairs is known only to those to whom
he gives his confidence, and they are few. But
] set down for the incredulous to laugh at that

would rather be right than be President.

forces now 1T work, as Ivy L. Lee told the
members Of the Rotary Club the other night.
But II Is stlll in its infancy, rs he said. Kin
dergarten teachers are still needed for some
business men before they can learn its alpha
bet. Our histories are only advertising
pamphlets telling us what we can learn from
the past Our books Of science are circulars
explaining how the secrets of nature have
been wrested from an unwilling earth and
how we can use them in our business. Our
books Of economics are treatises on the best
way to buy and sell. But the amount Of
money spent in studying these dead adver-
tlsements is about the same as that spent In
distributing the live advertisements of pres
ent-day business. When business men are
properly educated they will not be content
with investing SO much in the dead past and
so little in making the present thrill with life.

Entitled TO Fair Treatment

TNHAT William J. Bryan has done much to
J. lower the prestige of the high office he
holds is generally admitted. The American
people cannot be reconciled to the spectacle
of the Secretary of State fitting about the
country and lecturing for a price. In addi-
tion, they are convinced that the responsible
ties of the office require the full time of the
occupant, however brilliant he may be. It is
a post that has been filled by great men and
seldom held by a weak one.
When, however, certain newspapers find in
Mr.. Bryans prohibition speech of Monday
the occasion for caustic criticism and de-
nunciatlon, it appears that prejudice instead
OF reason is dominant. Prohibition Is a great
public question. 1t has become the para
mount political issue in many of the States.
1t has worked its way into Industrial life, and
in one form or another has been adopted by
many Of the largest corporations of the ma
tion. The Secretary of State In dedicatng
his service to such cause in the way he
did here was doing nothing incompatible
with either the dignity of his office or It's
precedents.
AS to his moral right to absent himself
from Washington during the diplomatic
stress now existing, there may be room for
argument.
It is believed, however that the President
and Mr.. Lansing are handling the situation,
so far as essentials are concerned, and 1t Is
quite possible that conditions were such as
to warrant Mr.. Bryan in believing that his
absence would not be disastrous to this ma
ton There is a great deal of difference be-
tween occasional and continued absence, Mr..
Bryan is entitled to fair treatment

4f1 ment by an exhibit OF figures The ex-

revenues during the current fiscal year to
March 2 by $1O3431.4 .44S71 and he estimates
that the fiscal year will close with deficit
OF $133,0OO,O00.

most entirely out OF current revenues. Those

can administration. to meet all expenses and

necessary to borrow money to pay the work.
men at Panama. But now the Democratic
head of the great financial committee Of the
House seriously proposes to mortgage tho
big ditch to raise money enough to run tho
Government. He would hook the canal as
the spendthrift and wastrel takes his over
coat to the pawnshop to raise money enough
TO hire cab to take him home.
Mr.. Fitzgerald has warned his party many
times that it was heading straight for
financial disaster and would reach the goal
unless it practiced economy. But his warn
ings were unheeded. He now has the cour-
age 10 face the facts and to point out
way OF escape from national bankruptcy.
So whatever the harvest OF folly his
party may reap he has cleared his own
skirts But neither he nor any other patri-
otic American can contemplate with any
pleasure the necessity of putting up the
canal as security for loan to raise money
to meet the extravagances OF the present
Congress.

They remembered that Terre Haute contains
more miionares than any other city in the
State.

about to divide $65,O0O among the women
deposltors. 1t was planned by the leaders TO
spend all this money in Indianapolis. First
firm and then another awolle, and finally
n victory attained. Thus the women
of Terre Haute forced public sentiment at a
time when the majority of the citizens were
weak-kneed and perhaps forced tho turning
point in the whole investigation. The Mer-
chants Association came out publicly and
contributed heavily toward the cleanup.
Today Terre Haute is mad with excite
ment. Tens of thousands of dollars are be-
ing given by the merchants and business
men. They see light ahead. They realize that
a clean, honest city administration is one Of
the greatest assets OF municipality and
that money contributed at this time to fight
