ENLIsTING FOR THE FIGHT

THE most encouraging symptom in the
= present political condition of the city Is
the popular interest in the election. The
FIRST days registration last year when a Gov
eynor and United States Senator were to be
elected was only $1,000. The FIRST days regis
tration this year Is about $4,000. an increase
Of $4,000 If the interest continues the num-
Der OF qualified voters will be greater than
~ 1911 when Mayor Blankenburg was
elected.
Every friend OF the city is hoping and pray
ing that the interest may not be slackened
90 that whatever the result OF the polling
may be It cannot be said that the voters were
Indifferent

politicians this man who was elected because
Of his independence" etc, ad nauseum.
You know, even though you would not say
so, you know that the Organization will surely
win the Mayorality and all that goes with 1t
this fall unless they beat themselves by fool
ish factional strife George H. Earle was
beaten In 1911. In that case enough voters of
South Philadelphia, to avenge their idol, turned
the trick to beat Earle, not to elect Blanken-
burg. By this Blankenburg won a negative
victory, not positive one, and II was a
small margin at that. It clearly was not a
case Of the majority wanting Blankenburg at
all.
OF course, I will admit, l. myself would like
to see the primaries work as they were intended
and see all of those that filed their nomination
papers make free for all of IL, giving

1t seems to me IL might be fine to pick from the
primary ballot from ]. Hampton Moore, George
H Earle. Samuel p. Rotan, Thomas b. Smith,
Robert j. McKenty, Frederick Boyer and Will
lam S. Ware, but, gentlemen It won't work.
The primaries sound all right in theory but
they won't work in practice 1t is like the
beautiful theory of Socialism. IT. butts up
against stone wall of human nature. The
fact is 1 never did believe in the, primaries
II we still had the convention system cur cleo
ton expenses would be about half what they
are. 1t is ridiculous for man to run the
primaries, making all this expense for moth
ing. But the leaders, have got to go at It in
a practical way to prevent strife and ruin
the chances of the party at election The
mass of voters cannot do it themselves with
out fighting among themselves but they are
willing to do as their chosen leaders their
representatives, carefully work up, and in the
case Of this Mayorality fight It is all done in
the open, no closed door proposition. For in
stance, for myself 1 prefer the Mayor TO be
one OF the, ones before mentioned, and my first
second and third choice. ETC., would be in the
order mentioned. But now that the leaders
have wisely gotten together and selected

ART

Nobody has yet been able to define ar cor
rectly, because every conception Of art differs
with the individual. Nobody really knows what
truth is, yet art is said to be truth plus per-
sonality: Personality itself is our most incom-
prehensible enigma.
Art must possess a supreme and constantly
increasing interest The best and most unfail-
Ing test OF art is when 1t endures. Time there

pieces turned out overnight are not to be

CREDIT TO kLlNkER

Mr.. p. j. Klinker has to his credit
as a legislator several matters which
reflect credit upon him and show his
influence in the legislature.
The bill which he introduced at the
beginning OF the session to repeal the
non-partisan judiciary law and to place
the nomination and election of judges
back to practically the former sys.
tenn passed the house a few days ago
by substantial majority.
The bill introduced by him for reg
ulating political advertising which
does away with the sending out and
scattering OF anonymous campaign ma
terial also passed the house with a
safe majority.
Another bill which provides that
grand jurors shall appear only at such
times as the court may order passed
the house, This bill is intended to
save counties considerable expense
which they now find themselves liable
to bear. In case there is nothing pre-.
sented to the Judge showing the ne
cessity for the grand jury being pres
ent, then there is no jury for that tern
and tile expense of the grand jury is
avoided.
These are measures of practical use
and the fact that Mr.. Klinker has been
able to secure their passage proves
that he is wide awake and influential
as a legislator.

BANK BILL DEFEATED

The bill in the legislature to regu-
late privately owned banks and to re-
quire sworn, statements to be published
in the newspapers. in. the community
where they are operated, as we'll as
to require statements OF their condi-
ton to be filed with the auditor OF
state, was defeated by a decisive ma.
jority when the measure came up for
consideration before that body.
1T is said that the private bankers
Of the state maintained strong lobby
against the Legislation during e.tlie
time the measure was under consider
alton BY the legislature. We do moi
think the incorporated. banks. under
state and national laws felt very much
concern about the measure. The agi
station for a change came from other
sources. The Incorporated bank which
makes reports naturally feels that the
requirements Of the law for publicity
of its affairs is benefit to the bank
because the people may know its true
condition and whether it is engaged
in speculation or not, while this co'''d
not be known OF . private bank. We
apprehend that in time the law will
be changed SO that all institutions en-
gagged in the banking business will be
under public supervision.
