THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM

TIME Wilson-made platform of the
Democratic party has not been
made public at this writing, but
that makes little difference. Every
body knows in advance what it is 60
Ing to say. We can imagine a Demo-
cratic editor sharpening his pencil,
getting down his handy book of SUPER
latives and going to work, his observa-
tions based in advance on the general
proposition that ''the king - beg
pardon, the President-"can do no
wrcng" and embellishing this conclu-
sion with the more modern Demo-
cratic doctrine that anything the
President does or says is divinely in
spired.
So, having devised a premise that
will permit of only fulsomeness raised
to its nth degree, our Democratic CO.
laborer will swing his big guns into
position for the Presidential salute of
twenty-one verbal shots - using the
usral blank cartridge ammunition, but
making a delightfully."- imposing
racket. And after that who dares at
tack the ticket or the platform. let
him stand forth and forever be barred
from the hope of Democratic patron
age.
Starting right in at the beginning
where the platform begins to point
with PRIDE" the editor will shout in
vociferous tones, me too" and in
glittering generalities will praise the
President to the skies in all he has
done, carefully, however, refraining
from calling undue attention to the
"watchful waiting policy of the ad-
ministration or the letter writing con-
corning the murder of women and
children on torpedoed steamships. He
will hurrah for "Americanism," at the
same time skipping lightly over the
fact that the Democratic platform is
designed also as a carefully baited
hook with which to land the elusive
German-American gudgeon, and will
view with great satisfaction the plank
that calls for war preparations in the
United States while praying for peace
in Europe.
Skillfully skirting the shoals of
political disfavor on which rock the
little boats of the pacihsts the Demo-

Harmony in Pennsylvania

Wilkes Barre Record.
All fear that the rumpus in Pennsyl-
vania over the election of delegates to
the Republican national convention
would be followed by a permanent
split has been dispelled. Both Cover
nor Brumbaugh and Senator Penrose
voted for Hughes on the final ballot.
All but four of the seventy-six dele
gates voted for Hughes and one of the
four was silent. This makes Pennsyl-
vania's verdict practically unanimous.
In the coming campaign there will
no taint of the bitterness that caus-
ed so much excitement in the appeal
to the voters Messrs. Penrose and
Brumbaugh may have differences and
quarrels during the session of the
Legislature; they may come to a clash
in the next gubernatorial election.
with the Governor, perhaps, backing
an independent candidate. But so far
as this presidential campaign is con-
cerned there is in sight nothing but a
working together for the election of
Charles e. Hughes.
Pennsylvania will be heard from in
no uncertain tone. 1t would not be
surprising If the largest Republican
majority in the history of the State
were polled. The State suffered so
much during 1914 and part of 1915 as
the result of Democratic tariff tinker
ing that the citizens will want to make
sure that there will not be a repeti-
ton of the experience. Pennsylvania
can be depended upon not only to give
Mr.. Hughes a rousing vote, but also to
send an old time Republican delega-
ton to Congress.

FIXING THE ROUTE

TINE William Penn Highway Asso-
citation does not mean to fix de-
fnitely the route of that great
highway across the State in an arbi-
trary manner. The petitions of the
people all along the way are to be
taken into consideration, together
with population, grade. mileage and
other matters that are factors in road
line establishment.
William Jennings, president of the
association, and w. H. James, the sec
retary, will inspect the several pro-
posed routes through Perry county
tomorrow and afterward hold a
meeting to hear all who care to pre-
sent their views on the routes under
discussion.
When it comes to definitely fixing
lines along the way there must be
some disappointments. 1t is a case of
give and take, but there are always
feeders to sections through which

MORE TAX FOR WEST SHORE

TIME announcement that property
/ owners at the northern end of
Washington Heights would at
once ask the court, if their land is
taken into Lemoyne, for viewers for
the erection of one or possibly two
bridges over the Cumberland Valley
railroad between the present bridge
and the Dale tract, below Camp Hill,
will do much, no doubt, to discourage
the effort now afoot to annex Wash
ington Heights to Lemoyne
If these two sections became one
town, bridges for the school children
to go back and forth would have to be
built at once, and doubtless the court
and the Public Service Commission
would agree with those property own
ers who would petition for bridges.
This would mean that both I.emoyne
and Washington Heights would be
saddled at once with a debt of S25, 900
to S50,000 at least and a consequent
advance In the tax rate, for the rail-
road and the taxpayers would have to
share the burden together.
This would be pretty stiff price for
the taxpayers of Lemoyne to shoulder
and would add unnecessarily to the
taxes of Washington Heights people.
What the suburban population wants
is fewer taxes to pay, not more.

About Town Affairs

The time is drawing near when the
people of the town will assemble and crit
icise or approve of the acts of their SER
wants the past year and also elect new
officers. There are various rumblings in
the air, but as yet we have no special
facts to mention, unless it be that our
school expenses have been rather large
and the highway expenditures have ex-
ceeded the expectations of many. There
are those. also, who are criticising the
poor account. We do not think any of
these officials have done otherwise than
what they believed for the best interest
of the town. We therefore think it best
to wait until the reports are out and
then study them andcriticise, ifyou must,
intelligently. Selectman Lanpher is the
one whose term expires this year, and he
informs us hat he is not a candidate for
another election. Homer has done well
and it may be that the people will insist
upon his taking the job another term
Road Commissioner Pratt has not said
what his wishes are, but 1t is evident that
he will have some opposition should he
again enter the field. c. S. Newton Of
the North Village, "at the earnest solicit
tation of many" will allow his name to
be used for that place. Overseer Barnes
is, we understand, in the hands of his
friends. although he is not "hankering"
for the job. There are those who think
that the office of Town Clerk and Treas
urer should be combined and givento one
who will devote his undivided time to
the same.
