IGNORANCE OR DECEP-
TIClN?

N 1NDENB NBURG is quOteu ny
ND a Vienna newspaper as
T saying that while the
United States is using the war
as a preteX to raise big army
it is not likely we will send
many soldiers to Europe be-
cause if we did we would eX-
pose this country to a Jap IN
vasion. If Hindenburg really
believes what he is quoted as
saying, all well and good. This
country nor the allies will wor-
ry over his ignorance and 1t is
possible that the German gem
eral is really unaware OF what
the American purposes are. On
many things the German mind
has grossly misunderstood the
United States, to Germany
loss. However, it is more
probable that Hindenburg
knows we'll about the men we
are sending to Europe and IN
his Vienna interview merely
resorted to a little camaflouge
for political effect on his peo-
pie.
Col. House, head of the Am
erican delegation at the inter
allied war council is more than
an astute diplomat; a few days
ago by way of recreation he
gave the Frenchmen some en-
tertainment in the way OF PLAIN
and fancy shooting, the Colon
eel being a crack shot; since
craftsmanship is wanted from
this country it is easy to see
that our allies will be encour-
aged to find that even our en-
VOWS are familiar with the use
of weapons.

How Republicanism in Pennsylvania

After a bitter fight Senator Boies PEN

another certificate of moral fitness as boss
of the Republican State organization in
Pennsylvania. on the election of his man.
Richard J, Baldwin, to be Speaker of the
House Of Representatives of the State Legis-

and the triumph of the combined forces of

OF PenrOse in control of the State organiza-

THE HEART IN POLITICS

NANGSTERS are the best fellows in
VI the world They have heart"
They are close to the people; they are Of
the people. They understand the little
human needs, and they are quick to
meet them. That is why we are badly
governed.
Reformers are as a rule, cold to the
personal needs of those they would like
to have for their constituents. All the
logic in the world will not give to the
man who holds himself aloof a greater
political prestige than that which falls
to the man who provides the bucket OF
coal in the nick of time. You can't beat
the bucket,of.coal argument, because it
has all the appearance Of being based
on that inyincible doctrine that he who
gives a child a cup of cold water shall
have his reward Personal charity is
infinitely better than organized charity,
and In adopting that principle the gang
ster is eternally right, lie is eternally
wrong in believing that humanity is sat
ished to go on indefinitely on hand-to-
mouth charity basis.
Must we. therefore, simply wait until
the people are educated up TO higher
ideals? Hardly The kindhearted gang
sters would not leave us any State 10
worry about If we waited that long What
It comes TO in practice is that muddling
and charlty-talling humanity realizes that
that ideal OF good government which It
instinctively cherishes under all its weak
nesses can only be realized through the
personality of one man, tbs executive.
A candidate for Governor - never eX,
pected to dole out buckets of coal. His
constituency Is too big to make that pos
sible But If he springs from the heart
Of the people, speaks their language,
proves TO them face 10 face his warm
hearted humanity and direct sympathy
and has a common-sense program help
full TO the workers, he can succeed, some
times, in beating the bucketof-coal ora
tors and giving his State a great shove
forward. Then, when he is Off the stage,
the people lapse into their old habits until
politics again gets so close to public theft
that a new cleanup Is required.
An Altgeld a Pattison, a Hughes or
a Wilson thus occasionally gets a chance
10 clean up his State There IS no fear
that this reliance on benevolent despot
destroys democracy. The gang sees 10

BUNK!

MUCH of the talk about pork barrel"
A'A appropriations is pure bunk. When
Philadelphia gets something for the Navy
Yard the press Of dozen rival cities
shouts that political interests have been
getting in their work. As a matter of
fact, the efficiency Of our naval establish
ment has been seriously handicapped by
this sort of provinclalism. There ought
to be navy yard at New York; there
ought to be one at Philadelphia, another
at Norfolk, another at Charleston and
another on the Gulf coast, probably at
Pensacola. Instead of these contesting
cities fighting every move for improve.
mcnts at another, they ought to work
together, ana the nation ought to work
with them, for such appropriations as
can be economically used for bringing
each of the several stations to the high
est point of efficiency. There is more
bunk handed to the people whenever real
preparedness is undertaken than the
most dyspeptic citizen ever dreamed of.
