THAT NoNPARTIsAN SECTION

n 1OBODY would object to nom
" partisan law IL politicians and
people would only consent to be
nonpartlsan. But they will not. Take
the recent Supreme Court contest in
this State as an example, Did anyone
for a moment doubt who, for instance,
was the choice of the Democratic party
leaders for one of the places on the
ticket? Judge Endlich was the man,
and those who are Just now crying
most loudly for the retention of the
nonpartisan sections of the municipal
and judicial election laws were most
vigorous in their efforts to procure his
nomination then as a candidate of
their own political faith.
Extend the inquiry to the municipal
election in Harrisburg two years ago
Everybody knows that the Democratic
leaders and the Republican leaders
went to the polls on the issue of which
party should control the City Council.
And that issue having been decided in
favor of the Republicans by the choice
of three members of that party out of
a possible five in Council. did po-
litical pickering stop there? 1t did
not. The two representatives of the
minority have made their presence
felt at every meeting. The entire effort
has been to bring discredit upon the
Republicans in order to put the Demo-
cratic party in the way of controlling
Council next year.
In the light of these facts the pres
ent-day talk of gang efforts to kill
the nonpartisan law is ridiculous
Party politics is not only more appar-
ent in city Council now than ever
before, but those who are arguing most
vehemently forthe retention of the non
partisan section of the Clark act have
been themselves the greatest offenders
against it.

The Chamber has opened a subject
that is close to the pocketbook oi

do no better service to them and the
people at large than to pursue 1t to the

LAUNDERING LEGISLATION

n n UGH interest attaches 10 the an
Wl nouncement from Washington
that the United States Court OF
Customs Appeals is expected soon to
interpret the meaning of the provision
in the Underwood tariff bill proposing
to give a per cent. discount in Gus
toms duties on merchandise imported
in American vessels. Thus far that
clause has failed in it's purpose Just as
the tariff measure of which IL is a part
failed to provide adequate revenue.
Enacted October 1S, 1918, 1t failed
on it's first test, and that test applied,
too, by the then Attorney General less
than thirty days after the bill was
signed.
No sooner had the tariff bill been
presented to the Secretary of the
Treasury for administration than a
doubt arose in his mind as to the
validity of the per cent discount
provision. He appealed for advice to
Attorney General McReynolds. who is
now on the Supreme Court bench. The
provision was pronounced imperative.
THE per cent. discount to Ameri-
can vessels cannot be given" is the
language of the Attorney General
quoted by the Secretary, without i'm
pairing the stipulatlons OF existing
treaties between the United States and
various other powers, and consequently
the subsection is imperative
Acting on this opinion, the Secretary
of the Treasury issued an order to GUS
toms collectors instructing them to
make no allowance of discount on
duties under this provision.
The Democratic committee report
on the per cent. provision defined
it as "a discrimination in favor of
American shipping, designed to build
up our merchant marine and keep at
home millions of dollars now being
paid to foreign vessels to carry our
products TO foreign markets.
Yet. although they fully realized the
tremendous Importance of this meas
ure. which, they said, involved mil
lions of dollars. they lacked the fore
sight to consult their own Attorney
General as to the possibility of enact
| ing it into law. They had a vague idea
of what they wanted, adopted a vague
method of trying to secure it, and by
careless guesswork threw the whole
| matter into the courts.
Furthermore, even if the principle
of discrimination had not been ques.
| toned by the Attorney General. the
provision was so clumsily drafted that
three different interpretations have
been placed upon it. Counsel for the
importers claimed one Interpretation
government attorneys claimed another
and the Board of General Appraisers
furnish third. different from all.
During the debate in Congress OF
this provision Republican members re.
peatedly warned the Democrats that
quite apart from its policy, its phrase
ology was meaningless and should be
| corrected to become effective.
It was so much breath wasted. The
majority stubbornly refused to accept
either caution, suggestion or amend.
ment. The result has been that this
very important clause has thus fan
proven mere useless verbiage. except
to cause litigation and expense to al
concerned. About the only purpose
| It has served is to emphasize the fac
that the inefficient methods of Demo,
cratic legislators have made II i'm,
possible for them to put even thei,
own ideas into effect.

SOME GOOD
BY Wing Dinger

Wives are much discouraged
Just because the war
Makes the price of moth balls
Higher than before.
Now it even costs more
To pack clothes away
And in place of moth balls
They're seeking some new way.
Hubbies are rejoicing,
Who have had to wear
Every change of season
Clothes that fill the air
with those penetrating,
Napthalenic smells
Let 'em keep on fighting
In the Dardanelles.

BELGIUM

Heartstruck she stands-Our Lady of
all Sorrows
Circled with ruin, sunk in deep
amaze;
Facing the shadow of her dark to-
morrows,
Mourning the glory of her yester-
days.
Yet is she queen, by every royal token,
There, where the storm of desolation
swirled;
Crowned only with the thorn-despoil-
ed and broken
Her kingdom is the heart of all the
world.
She made her breast a shield her
sword a splendor,
She rose like fame upon the dark
ened ways;
So, through the anguish of her proud
surrender
Breaks the clear vision of undyine
praise.

STRETCHING 4 POINT

TIME TELEGRAPH agrees with
the Franklin Evening News in
its opinion that a branch capital
in Philadelphia is not necessary, but II
must disagree with that newspaper in
its criticism of the Legislature and
must take exceptions to the following
editorial paragraph appearing re-
Gently in a discussion of the Farley bill
to erect a State building in the Quaker
City:
We can have sympathy for those
officials who do not want to live in
Harrisburg IL they can help 1t. That
town has been called hostile ooun-
many years. In truth, the people
of Harrisburg are said to regard
the influence of the Legis lature and
bad for the town and they devote
extra attention to mission work
because of the fact. But we would
guard our emotions and not let our
sypmathies unduly affect us.
The opinion of the News Is far from
the fact. Harrisburg is glad to well
come the Legislature whenever 1t cares
to meet here. The time was. many
years ago, when this could not have
been said. The Legislators of a quarter
of a century since were not. generally
speaking, to be compared with the
representatives of to-day, particularly
in the case OF those hailing from
Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. That
was the heyday of the ward poll
tician and the large cities were not
overly careful to whom they delegated
their legislative functions. But poll
tics in Pennsylvania, as in other States.
has greatly improved in tone since that
time. The average legislator who
comes to Harrisburg at present is
man above the average among his fell
lows. The poker parties and the
drinking bouts that marked the old
days are no more. The House of Rep
resentatives nowadays even boasts of
a Sunday school.
The News need not waste it's SYM
pathy upon Harrisburg. The people
of this city are proud of their State
government and they are happy to
entertain its representatives.. The
greatest proof Of this is that we want
to keep the whole of the capital at
as we always have done
and always will do.
