Completion of work on the addition
and remodeling of the old building will
take place about this time according
to A. C. Hobart, superintendent of con-
struction of the II. L. Brown Company
of New York, who is overseeing the
work
The contract expires in May. but Mr..
Hobart said it would be sometime later
before the structure would be complet-
ed. The reason for the delay in COM
pletion is scarcity of material and la
Dor, according to the superintendent
Material especially is hard to secure
A carload of granite stone which will
be used in completing the northeast
wing of the new addition arrived yes
terday. This material was on the road
for several months. Another car which
is on the way will be ample for COM
pleting the stone work. AS soon as the
weather becomes warmer a force OF
men will be put on the work.
Plastering the entire building will
be started after the stone work is COM
pleted, which is expected to be in two
weeks.
In the twenty years experience in
construction work Mr.. Hobart declares
he has never seen material and labor
so scarce and at such exorbitant prices

of Premier and His Aid
Are Placed on Trial

Derby. England, Feb. }. - The Guild
Hall was crowded and many persons
were unable to obtain admission when
Attorney General Sir Frederick L.
Smith to-day opened the case against
the four persons accused of conspir-
acy to murder Premier David Lloyd
George and Arthur Henderson. member
of the War Council. The accused are:
Mrs. Alice Wheeldon. her two daugh-
ters, Miss Ann Wheeldon and Mrs AL
fred George Mason, and Mrs. Mason's
husband
The Attorney General in his opening
referred to the prisoners as desperate,
dangerous people, bitterly hostile to the
country. They were, he declared, shell
terers of fugitives from the army. who
were doing their best TO injure Great
Britain in her present crisis. The pris-
oner Mason, he pointed out, was a
chemist of very considerable skill, who
had made a special study of poison and
might be considered an expert in such
u matter.

Pe~~e4eSa~ia
BY the Ex-CommitteemAA

While State administration sympa-
thizers are charging that the Penrose
people are dilly- -dallying and schem-
ing to prolong the legislative session
at public expense in order to hamper
the Governor the leaders of the domi-
nant faction are declaring that they
have refused to listen to peace over
lures from the Governor friends and
have also charged that records in the
Capitol are being tampered with in
order to prevent any disclosures which
may make trouble. Threats to probe
the Penrose campaign expenses are
being made again and there is an
evident desire on the part of Brum-
baugh followers to keep expense ac-
counts where they cannot be touched.
The Philadelphia North American
declares to-dav that the Penrose pol
icy ties the hands of legislators and
Fhat the senator is barking up the
wrong tree when he says that the fac
tional quarrel is the reason for the
delay. The Philadelphia Ledger says
that Penrose has enough votes to pass
the Sproul resolution. but that he
wants all of the senators present on
Monday night. The Ledger declares
it is the Penrose plan to carry the
Brumbaugh leaders off their feet"
and that he has given notice that
Mayor Smith. of Philadelphia, can
avoid trouble by lobbying for the
Governor"
Charges that the State administra-
tion having failed to secure a protocol
is not trying to line up legislators
against the probe are made by the
Philadelphia Record to-day. The

or next July. This request, one OF the
| oldest made to the division, came from
notary who set forth that number
of soldiers own cars and that while
they paid for licenses good for one
year they had been prevented from
getting full use of their cars because
of absence in the service of the gov
ernment. The division holds that it
cannot grant the request.
Thus far the division has been able
to supply automobile license plates
for all motor vehicles except pneuma-
tic tired automobiles on which the de-
liveries have been held up because of
the inability of the Prison Labor Com
mission to supply the material. To-
tai receipts for 1917 licenses thus far
run over s1,o00,000.

discussion of legislation will be held
here by three organizations during

partment has numerous applicants for
the vacancies on the force and this
week more than the ten required to
fill up the troops appeared for exam
ination. The State force is receiving
applications from number of men
from the regular army.
To Mark Cars.-In all probability
every automobile owned by the State
will be marked with letters on it's
doors setting forth that it is the prop
erty of the Commonwealth. Governor
Brumbaugh is said to be contem-
plating the issuance of such an order
to the heads of departments. 1t de-
Veloped during the Governors cor
respondence with the Highway Com
missioner that the cars in the High
way Department had been marked
years ago. but that there were depart
ments which had cars which were not
marked. The Governor is understood
to have been as surprised at the num-
Der of cars owned by the State as he
was to find that the Highway Depart
ment cars had been lettered.
Making Own Probes.-The investi-
cations being conducted by depart
ments into their own funds are going
to eXtents never known before and
it is said that contingent expenditures
are being overhauled with fine-tooth
comb in order to find things which
will have to be explained. Even the
expenditures for postage are being
checked up. Although Saturday is a
holiday on the HILL" men were busy
to-day on the examination of their
vouchers and bills.
No Undue Dclay.-Senator Penrose
has stated in Philadelphia that there
was no undue delay in. organizing the
Legislature so that employees could get
long continued pay.

POLITICAL PARTIES IN
AMERICAN HISTORY

ty under Folks administration. In
1910 they cast but seven thousand
votes; but in 1914 they received SIX
ty-two thousand votes, enough ia
alarm the South and show which way
the political wind was blowing.
In 1841 the American-Republican
party was founded, afterwards called
the Native-American party It's
chief principle was that only born
Americans be permitted to hold of
lee. In 1916 they elected several con
gressmen, but lost strength in 1919.
In 1852 the Know Nothing party
was founded, which advocated meas
ures similar to the old Native-Ame
can party. II was an oath bound
organization, and when the members
were asked what their party stood
for, they replied: 81 don't know"
hence the nickname Know Nothing.
In couple of years they grew to
national dimensions, but another year
marked the beginning of their down
fall.
From 1854 to 1860 was crisis in
American politics People began to
demand that new political party be
born to oppose the extension of slav-
cry. Turnout the country the people
met in the townhalls and passed res
Olutions declaring that new national
party be formed; and in nearly every
instance it was suggested that it be
named Republican. The result of this
agitation, the Frees oilers, the old
line Wings and Democrats who were
opposed to the extension of slavery,
with the fragments of the crumbling
Know-Nothing party joined the Anti
Nebraska Democrats, and founded the
modern Republican party. In 1856
they secured Ia of the 296 electoral
votes.
In 1860 four political parties were
in the field. The Northern Demo
Gratis with Douglas as their leader,
the Southern Democrats with Brock
enridge, the Constitutional Union
lists with John Bell, and the Repub-
licans with Abraham Lincoln. slim
coin was elected, receiving 1870 elect
oral votes, while 1872 were sufficient
to elect.
This marks the turning point in
American politics. Next week we
will deal with the political parties
from 1860 to the present time.

(Sophistry indeed We have stated
bluntly the action the Socialist Party
ought to take in dealing with the
Farmers and Unionists but Prole-
aria Bill has lodged around the
question. We want him to state
why we should not take that action
in our political campaigns. We don't
want him to give US a long explana-
ton of Socialism, for we grant every
thing that Bill says about the science,
except his attitude on practical politi-
cal action. He may be striving to
make the Socialist Party a purely
propaganda organization but in order
to do that he will have to get us to
change our constitution. The facts
and measurers he speaks of speak
for themselves. He may twist and
turn them around but the fact still
remains that there was a glimmer of
intelligence in the people who voted
that way, because they voted lust
the opposite to what the monopolists
and the merchants and manufacturers
association wanted them to. 1t is

(FrOm the tone Of the latter part
Of Comrade Millward's letter, it APP
pears that he considers that the edi-
tor is in favor Of -partisanism.
We have, to the best of our ability,
informed our readers of our position
on the non-partisan idea. We have
published letters and articles favor
able to it in order that the Socialist
Party membership may be in a bet
ter position to understand what it is
up against. AS society progresses,
the masses become more and more
violent in its opposition to existing
institutions, and failing to gain their
ends from the old parties they seek
new ones. The new parties are built
upon false impressions of natural
laws, hence the failure of those par
ties is practically assured. Socialism,
being a science dealing with the de
.velopment of society and explaining
it's changes, enables it's students to
become conscious and intelligent in
struments Of natural laws economic
ally expressed, paves the way for the
correct adjustment of institutions for
the well being of the whole of soci-
ETY.. Socialism under any other name
would smell just as sweet, but at
present there is no other ism that
deals correctly with the science of
society, hence the Socialist party will
be alive after all others are dead
