New Ambassador to Japan

For the second time during the
Wilson administration Pennsylvania
has had the distinction of furnish
ing an Ambassador to Japan. The
appointment of Mr.. Roland S. Morris
to that important post is not a sur
prise, and it is generally understood
that it was made upon the recon-
mendation of National Chairman
Vance Mccormick, to whom the post
was originally offered.
The appointee is a man of educa-
ton and standing, although he has
never had diplomatic training or eX-
perience, unless the craftsmanship of
the Democratic State committee is to
be placed in the category. Probably
one who is able to emerge from that
position with a whole head and an
uninJured reputation may be con-
sidered sufficiently deXterous in mind
and body to fill the most difficult
diplomatic position. Our relations
with Japan at present are apparently
agreeable, and it is quite likely that
they will remain so, but we are living
in strange times and it may be that
Tokyo will suddenly assume immense
importance in the worlds affairs.
When Mr.. Gerard was sent to Berlin
everyone assumed that his most im-
portant duties would be in attending
found himself in the whirlpool of a
great war. However, he met the sit
uation very well, and there is no
reason for supposing that Mr. Morris
would not do likewise under siren
uous circumstances.
From the standpoint of State poll
tics the selection is likely to cause
some heartburnings, none the less in
tense. because they may be borne in
silence. From the time Mr.. Wilson
assumed office he has given the pat
ronage of Pennsylvania to a select
coterie. A few men have taken all
of the choice plums, while the rank
and file of the party, famishing for
the want of few crumbs, have been
permitted to do most of the hard
work. When nominations or appoint
ments are to be made they go to Mr..
Mccormick, Mr.. Palmer or Mr.. Nor
| ris, or to some close personal friend
! of these three receivers of the Dem
ocratic party in Pennsylvania, for as
everyone knows that party in this
State is bankrupt and it's only assets
are the places that are given out
from time to time by the President
The very scarcity of the loaves and
fishes would suggest a more equit-
able division. The "Old Guard
Democrats get nothing. and, as some
wit has suggested, very little of that.
The three favored ones have formed
little Hog Combine" of their own,
and all who do not swear by them
are forbidden to come within the
sacred circle.
Partisan and factional politics re-
ceive scant attention from the peo-
pie in these stirring days, but when
conditions become normal the men,
bers of this Democratic combination
may have to fight to retain the spoils
which are now coming to them with
out any apparent effort.-Philadel-

President and Pickets
Editor of tho Telegraph :

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
DIR. Anna Shaw in a telegram 70
the President mentions the army of
suffragists who deplored the picket
ing of the White House. But there
was a greater army of suffragists
who applauded such work and who
have failed to see the courtesy and
patience on the part of the Presi-
dent that Doctor Shaw talks about.
Those splendid women who have
braved inclemency of weather,
fatigue of body and endured the
jeers and insults of creatures called
men, would have still been in the
Virginia workhouse had 1t not been
for the splendid work of such men
at Malone, Hopkins and Colby and
the great protest which arose all over
the country against the lack of JUS
tice and shameful indignity of the
whole affair.
Further along in her message TO
the President Doctor Shaw speaks of
the sacrifice, courage and persist
ency of women that have labored for
seventy-five years for their enfranch-
isement. Yes, Doctor Shaw, and
they would have kept on laboring
and sacrificing for seventy-five years
longer If real women would not have
been willing to go to prison for the
principles they hold so dear.

FIRE COMPANIES MOVE

THERE doubtless will be entire
harmony between the four fire
companies of Harrisburg which
will double up as a result of the re-
movals from the Capitol Park zone.
One will find a welcome at the
Friendship headquarters and the
other at the Hope house.
p The Mount Vernon Hook and Lad
der and the Citizen fire companies
are two of the older organizations
of the city and it is understood there
will be no change in their relation
to the department, each maintaining
its separate identity.
1t would seem that there might be
some little demonstration upon the
retirement of these two companies
from their own quarters and their
reception under the hospitable root
trees of their friendly neighbors, the
Friendship and the Hope.
