DECLARES 1T A
| CATCHPENNY PHRASE
Short Ballot, He Says, Gives
Power to the In
dividual

Philadelphia, Sept. 2.-United States
| Senator Boies Penrose referred to for
mer Senator Roots remarks concerning
invisible government" as a catchpenny
phrase. He declared himself opposed to
the short ballot and other things advo-
Gated by Root. He said:
"The so-called short ballot is only an
other name for concentrating enormous
power in the hands OF one individual.
Experience demonstrates that human ma
ture is frail enough to render it probable
that in nearly every case this power will
be abused for the selfish interest and
aggrandizement of the person holding it
or for the purpose of coercing the com
munity to accept views and policies that
may be advocated by the executive
heads. The term invisible government
is one of those catchpenny phrases which
have been worn quite threadbare and
will not find much currency in these
days, when common sense is beginning
to exert itself There is no CONSUMPTION
in American politics. Leaders can be
pulled down just as quickly as they are
made, and my experience Is that the
mass of the American people is quite
alive in its desires regarding political
and various phases of politics
to an extent that Is not realized by
those whose vacations are to discuss
theories"

KILLS WIFE,
HOME AND BABES
FAIL TO REFORM
Marriage to Fallen Girl Does Not Lift
Her from Shame--Five
Made Orphans.

New York, Sept. 2.--Ten years age
Samuel Leitner, then 81, married II
year-old, just released from the house
of Good Shepherd, where she had been
confined for social mis-steps and incor-
rigibility. He thought married life and
good home, with children, would make
her forget the old life. 1t didn't.
So Monday he shot her to death when
she tainted him with the story of her
shame and bluntly refused to live a
straight life for the sake of their five
children.
This is the confession of Leitner, told
the police, after he had stoutly main
tanned his innocence for "a hours. The
story told in court was unemotionala
simple statement of things as they
WERE" he said. For days at time, he
said, she would leave him with the chill
dren. to stay with other men.
With the mother dead and the father
in jail, the five children, the Oldest nine,
were in pitiful plight yesterday. Two
of them were found on the street cry
ing with hunger. Neighbors took the
eight months-old baby and children's
society the others.

COMMUNITY CIvICS.
Helps Child to Know the Meaning of His
Community Life.

Community civics helps the child Il

bulletin lust issued by the United
States bureau of education. This bull
letin was prepared by four members OF
the committee ON social studies OF the
National Education association, DIR. j.
Lynn BARNARD, school of pedagogy, Phil
adelphia; i. W. Carrier, principal OF
Wilmington, Mass, high school; Arthur
W. Dunn, specialist in civic education,
United States bureau of education; and
Clarence d. Kingsley. of the Massaehu-
setts board OF education.
The significance of the term 'communi-
ty civics' does not lie in its geographic
cal Implications" says the bulletin, but
applies this point of view to the ma
tional community as wen. Emphasis is
laid upon the local community because
il is the one with which every child
citizen has most intimate relations, and
for that reason il is easier for him to
enter into actual cooperation with it."
The authors of the bulletin make clear
that the term citizenship is used
broadly. The good citizen" they say,
SIS person who habitually conducts
himself with proper regard for the well
fare of the community Of which he is
q member, and is active and intelligent
in his cooperation with his fellow mem
bers TO that end"
Community civics, according 20 the
bulletin, should be taught in the elemen-
tary grades OF the public schools and
should be continued in a more compre-
hensive course i'm the first year OF the
high school. eAIany pupils do not enter
high school az all. and those who do
should already have begun to acquire
habits Of civic thought and action. The
greater maturity Of the high school pu-
pills makes possible the development Of

tioable In the elementary school

ferred to the fact that she has retained
House, Grossman & Vorhaus to obtain
a divorce.
"They have had the matter in hand

High Regard for President
Given Expression in
National Zeitung
IN A LEADING
EDITORIAL ARTICLE
Noteworthy for Ungrudg-
ing Admiration Expressed
for the President

Berlin, Sept. 2, via London.-The Ma
tional Zeitung published yesterday a
leading article under the heading: Wi
son. BRYAN and Roosevelt" whicn is note
worthy for its friendly tone and for thu
ungrudging admiration expressed fol
President Wilson.
The article begins by saying that dis
cussions OF the Arabic affair have been
in quieter tone since Count Won Bern
storff presented his request to the Amer,
| lean government to delay action until
Germany had had the opportunity OF
presenting its side of the case.
Even the anti-German newspapers adj
mitted the justice OF this request, the
article says, and there now remains no
obstacle to friendly discussion of differ
enees which while real are by no means
OF nature to prevent satisfactory
compromise.
The personality of President Wilson
has been illuminated more strongly than
ever before, the National Zeitung says,
during the exciting days through when
America has Just passed. ever was the
presidents position more difhcult than
during the Arabic crisis, the article de-
clares, when Mr.. Bryan was calling on
America has just passed. Never was the
Colonel Roosevelt was sumrhoning them
to war against Germany" the activities
OF these two men threatening to bring
about situation that might make the
presidents attitude toward Germany de-
pendent on domestic political considera-
tions.
THAT President Wilson withstood this
temptation and may be counted on to
withstand it further must be acknowl-
edged the newspaper says, 'notwith-
standing the fact that the German peo-
pie certainly have reason to be dissatis-
fed with his attitude in the matter OF
submarine warfare"
Mr.. Wilson is characterized as a more
clever politician than 'the unlueky Bryan
and the astute politician Roosevelt"
The article concludes with the state
ment that Germany has always desired
to maintain the traditional friendly re-
lations with America and it may be
hoped the Arabic case will serve to clear
up understanding inssmuch as the
points in dispute are matters of prin-
riple and not of conquest, victories or
defeat"
