THE LEADER-TO-BE
By Ella Wheeler wilcox

Copyright, 1915, Star Company
What shall the leader be in that great
day
When we who sleep and dream that
we are slaves
Shall wake and know that Liberty is
ours?
Mark well that word-not yours, not
mine, but ours,
For through the mingling of the sepa-
rate streams
OF individual protest and desire,
In one united sea of purpose, lies
The course to Freedom.
When Progression takes
Her undisputed right of way, and sinks
The old traditions and conventions
where
They may not rise, what shall the
leader be?
No mighty warrior skilled in crafts OF
war,
Sowing earth's fertile burrows with
dead men
And staining crimson Gods cerulean
To prove His prowess to a shuddering
world:
Nor yet a monarch with a silly crown
Perched on an empty head-an inbred
heir
To senseless titles and anaemic blood
No ruler, purchased by the perjured
votes,
OF striving demagogues whose god is
gold;
Not one of these shall lead to Liberty
The weakness of the world cries out
for strength,
The sorrow of the world cries out for
hope.
It's suffering cries for kindness.
He who leads
Must then be strong and hopeful as
the dawn
That rises unafraid and full of joy
Above the blackness of the darkest
night.
He must be kind to every living thing;
Kind as the Krishna, Buddha and the
Christ
And full of love for all created life.
oh, not in war shall his great prowess
lie,
Nor shall he find his pleasure in the
chase.
Too great for slaughter, friend of man
and beast,
Touching the borders of the Unseen
And bringing down to earth their mys-
To light. our troubled pathways, wise
and kind
And human to the core, so shall he be
The coming leader of the coming time.

~ OVERNOR BRUMBAUGH and
United States Senator Oliver
~ are absolutely correct in their
assertions that local option is
not a party issue in Pennsylvania.
Loyal Republicans and staunch
Democrats are lined up together for
the Williams bill and the liquor inter-
ests claim supporters alike in both
parties. Democrats and Republicans
went to the Legislature pledged to
local option and it scarcely can be
questioned that not a few legislative
candidates on both sides had the sup
port of the booze forces.
The vote on local option next week
will not be in accord with partisan
alignments. Indeed, party lines will
be broken down upon this one meas
ure as possibly they will not be on any
other matter that will come before the
present session for decision. All indi-
cations point in that direction.
The local option issue is bigger than
any party. 1t is not political; it is
moral, and legislators must face it on
that high ground. Whether they be
Democrats or Republicans they should
vote according to the dictates of their
own consciences, and if they do that
there can be no doubt of the adoption
of a local option law by the Legis-
lature at that time. They must decide
whether they shall grant to the people
the right of local self-government or
whether they prefer to place around
their necks the collars of the liquor
ring and give favor to special privilege
over the will of the people.
No legislator may excuse a vote
against the Williams bill on the score
of party allegiance. Each individual
must shoulder the responsibility per-
sonally. When it comes down to the
selection of legislators next year, if by
chance the local option measure
should fail of passage next week, the
people will not blame it on any one
party so much as they will upon the
individual. They will choose men at
the primaries preferably who will be
pledged to the enactment of such a
measure as is now before the House.
or at the general elections if their
wishes miscarry when nominations are
being made.
National and State issues next year
will be distinctly separate In the
nation at large there can be little
question of Republican supremacy,
unless all present signs fail but in the
State the big issue-and it will be
nonpartisan-will be local option, in
case the present bill should fail, and it
is safe to predict that the voters will
take Senator divers advice to heart
and go outside the party of their
preference on national questions if
they cannot find candidates within it
who will be pledged to the enactment
of an option law.
The people regardless of party want
local option, and they are going to get
1T regardless of party.

SPEAKER IS WELL
PLEASED BY HOUSE
Says That 1t Has Given a Fine
Example of Getting Busy and
Sticking at It, Too
EXPECTS TO LEAVE EARLY
May 6 Adjournment Date Finding
Favor Among Legislators;
Grangers Coming Soon

Speaker Charles A. Amber went
home yesterday afternoon well
pleased with the way the House has
been working. This has been a great
week and L am proud of the manner
in which the House worked. We are
certainly getting into shape to close
up on May g." said he.
"I am convinced that the House
will be ready. The big bills will be
out of the House next week and we
will have made a substantial head
way on the appropriation bills.
Things are moving along splendidly
and the committees will clear up in
the next ten days"
The Speaker expects to start three
sessions day in the House very soon
and looks for some hard work in the
next three weeks. The appropriation
bills reported out will be followed by
another batch next week and they
will go through on special orders.
The agricultural reorganization
bill came out of committee last night
and will be reprinted. 1t is practi-
cally the same as when presented, but
tends to get behind it, but to listen to
arguments against the proposed COM
mission.
The bill to repeal the nonpartisan
ballot for judges is due to come to the
front next week. 1t is said that an
agreement to push it so that it will
become effective on January /, 1916,
has been reached. This is in line with
what was determined upon weeks ago,
but abandoned.
Highway Commissioner Cunning
ham is being congratulated by many
people at the Capitol. He entered the
House yesterday with his former col
leagues of the Senate and was we'll
received. His appointment must be all
right because the Philadelphia North
American is criticising it.
State Grangers are coming here in
force next Tuesday for the hearing
on their Highway Department bill 1t
would create a highway commission
somewhat like that proposed in the
administration agricultural reorgani-
zation bill and they hope to get the
Governor to favor it.
The appearance of the Stern bill
