It is extraordinary how careless
people are Of themselves The confer
ence now in session on the city charter
may propose an entirely new system OF
government for Philadelphia. By some
chance their new charter may go before
the voters at an election. Yet few take
trouble to acquaint themselves with the
deliberations OF the theorists and practical
men now outlining plan. and few will
know what the offered charter means
when the decision comes. OF those few.

know too well whether it win favor them

A False Tropical Wind

Some day the Gulf Stream may smash
back the icy waters of the Labrador drift
and make New York as warm as European
and Asiatic cities OF the same latitude. II
may even come to pass as Father Oden-
bach. OF Cleveland, suggests, that these
parts will be tropical. True, the Jesuit
scientist treasures US by saying that
great swerving OF the Gulf Stream Is I'M
probable. but even the slim possibility fills
the Imagination with exotic pictures
Orange groves in northern New Jersey,
coffee plantations In place OF Suffolk County
cabbage patches rubber forests In Connecti-
cut. alligators devouring canalboat cap
tains in Newtown Creek the anaconda
asleep in Westchester jungles-it would all
be quite worth living TO see.
But the time is not yet. This months
heat is only natural. And In August when
a seeming simeon comes upon US, do not
misjudge the Gulf Stream. The hot air
will be from the great wind stream that
rises in the campaign text books and flows
until Monday evening in November.

One of the features of the
campaign during the present
week was the appearance on the
stump of Lieutenant Governor
Barret, defeated in the recent
primary, who spoke at LeesyiIle
Vernon parish, Monday night, in
behalf of his successful opponent
He dwelt largely upon the obli-
cation of the primary, declaring
that the man who participated
could not with honor refuse to
support the nominee. Mr.. Barret's
splendid example will have a
splendid effect upon those who
followed him in the primary con-
test. The Louisiana supreme
court, in a decision on this point
said, in the case of LaBauve VS..
Michel, III Louisiana:
That the voter, by parti-
cipating in primary, inn
pliedly promises and BINDS
HIMSELF IN HONOR to
support the nominee, and
that a statute which eXacts
from him an express promise F,
to that effect adds nothing to
his moral obligation and does
not undertake to add any
thing to his legal obligation. /"
In other words, the man who
will not pay debt unless he is,
forced to do so by law, failing to
his moral obligation in
he matter, is in much rhe same
as the man who refuses
% carry out his political obliga- i
ion simply because there is no
aw to compel him to do so.
Moral obligation is much higher
md stronger than legal obliga-
ion with a scrupulously honest
nan. and no sort of argument.

nent expressed by Lieut.. Cover
