MONDAY EVENING, MARCH s
BACK OF THE GOVERNOR

~ VERY day demonstrates that the
n public sentiment of Pennnsylva-
- MIA is behind Governor Brum-
baugh in his fight for local
option.
Movements begun in various cities
to publicly express opinion on the sub
ject are among the most interesting
events of the time and when the his
tory of this session comes to be written
it will he found that the people took
a hand in legislation without employ
ing any high sounding phrases. They
are now demanding local option, and
the liquor interests, which have op-
pressed legislative methods by their
crude ideas of procedure, are face to
face with a courageous Governor and
an aroused State.
The people are back of the Governor
and men who vote against him will
have hard shedding when they run
again.

4 patriots ,s' left in Mexico. The he
1 \ country seems to be at the
mercy of contending bands OF
bandits, each intent upon furtherinS
his own selfish interests. regardless OF
the rights or the welfare of the COM
mon people.
More and more apparent it becomes
that the condition in Mexico is hope
less. Intervention of some sort in the
end will be necessary, unless by some
miracle a leader shall be produced who
speedily will become master of the
tremendously involved situation. Yet
never was there time in the history
OF the United States when its citizens
were more reluctant TO resort to armed
force for any purpose than now. No
body, not even the most enthusiastic
jingoist of year back, would support
proposal that might bring us into
open conflict with Mexico. Possibly
some sort of international exposition
like that sent to China to break up
the Boxer rebellion will solve the prob
lem, although it is difficult to see how
Europe could enter such an agree
ment short of declaration of peace
on the continent.
1t is sad commentary on modern
civilization, our own boasted love for
freedom and our really very splendid
record of intervention in behalf of sup
pressed peoples, that such a state OF
tolerated for moment at the very
doors of the republic whose watch
words are freedom and fair play.

Prophets and Profits

Manufacturers who advertise
their products in this newspa-

TO the retailers selling the goods.
They are not crying in the
wilderness but speaking to a
very definite audience.
They are the builders of bust
ness for the merchants clever
enough to cooperate in the right
way.
They are making demand
which will center at many store

Shrewd merchants take pains
to show the goods advertised in

Offers some ten thousand bones
For the pest suggestion given
To bring peace to many thrones.

Roland S. Morris, chairman of the
Democratic State committee and Il
chieftain of the discredited and de-
feated faction that has bossed the ma
chine for couple of years. has seized
upon the local option fight to come
back" II is doubtful IL he can sue

Morris is expected to be here in
the next few days to lend his efforts
to get the bill passed and due pub

Seeing that there is en- aroused public
sentiment without regard to party for
local option the Democratic chairman
is going to butt into the situation
with his half dozen members and try
to make a noise in order to show that
he is still alive. Contributions to Ii
quidate the party debts will then be
asked again.
Some of the Democratic members
of the legislature are resenting the ac-
ton of A. Mitchell Palmer in asking
them to vote with the Governor on
local option, declaring that 1t is an as
sumption of leadership which has
nothing TO do with local option. Pal

The Philadelphia Press to-day

The Philadelphia Press to-da
says;
a plan for the appointment of
State commission to investigate
the whole liquor question in Penn
sylvania and recommend method
of dealing with 1T TO the next
Legislature, should this session
fail to settle the problem, is re-
ceiving serious consideration by
the political leaders. The plan.
of course, is based on the poss-
bility that Governor Brumbaughs
local option bill may be defeated
despite his threat that he would
90 into the home counties of the
members who voted against 1t and
campaign against them when they
come UP for reelection.
Those who have been closely
in touch with politics place little
stock in the threat to recall the
local option bill from the law and
order committee of the House at
to-night's meeting, and Senator
McNichols statement on Satur-
day that such a thing would be
inadVisable is regarded as the
final word on the subject just now.
The significance of Withholding
action on the bill until later in the
session is emphasized by the new
suggestion that a commission IN
vestigate the problem.
1T is proposed that the COM
mission be appointed by this Leg
islature much after the manner in
which the Compensation Commis-
sion was appointed at the last ses-
sion. The commissioners would be
directed to make their report to
the Governor on conditions as they
found them and to make recon-
mendations for the proper action
which shoud be taken. This would
give the opportunity for a thor
ough examination of the whole
situation, it is said and would
bring every side of the question in
to the foreground so that it could
he judged fully by the people.
The recommendation of the com
mission it is argued coud be put
up to the legislators before they
arc elected for the next session
and the Governor might then re-
quire that they commit them
selves to these recommendation
as being fair solution of the
problem"

LOOKING FOR WORK

Except in towns busy supplying
material for the warning powers, the
present winter has seen an unusual
number of applicants for work. It is
a motley procession that passes un-
der the cold eye of the man who does
the hiring. Many of them are per-
fectIy respectable fellows, often COM
petent men in their own line. They
may have changed employments a
short time before the war began, and
are merely thrown out as the last man
taken on.
In more cases the applicants carry
the marks of less regular labor. A
few straws c1inging to their frayed
coats suggest the kind of place in
which they spent the night. Almost
invariably they claim to be hungry
and to have gone without breakfast,
though quite frequently their princi-
pal sufferings seem to be from thirst.
It seems a hard and cruel prin-
cip1e, yet more of these pathetic ap-
p1icants are judged by their clothes
and lack of a shave, A neat coat, in
seeking work, is worth ten times what
it costs at the store Rather ineffec-
tive advice, to be sure, as most of
the men in the work line have scar
ly the funds to buy a linen COLLAR
The pathetic condition of the job
less, often sobbing at their lack of
opportunity. should be a, lesson to the
young fellow who never saves money.
The men who seek work are not
necessarily foolish or lazy. Often they
come into the newspaper Office and
ask for old papers, anything to read,
showing their desire to keep posted
on the worlds doings. A mere piece
of i'll luck without fault of their own
may have set them adrift.
Once they are out Of employment
they grow so seedy and forIorn that
the word failure is written on their
face. If back in the old savings hank
there were a few dollars, with which
they could clean up. spruce up, and
travel about a bit like white men,
they would find their chance all right.
