careful attention that what he has to
say about the cause Of education in
this State and measures that will
make our system more efficient The
message shows that Governor Miller
knows the difficulties in the way as
well as the necessity for action The
public sentiment throughout the
State is strong for better schools
but opinion has not crystalized as
to what shall be done to bring
about the desire improvement. The
need OF action IS so urgent that
everybody should be willing to give
up much In order to get something
that will make Improvement possible.
In this case II is better to do some
things in an imperfect way rather
than to stand still and let the school
children suffer from the intolerable
conditions that exist at the present
time.

NO WAGE Increase FOR
Local Penn. R. R. clerks

Clerks Of the Pennsylvania rail-
road Offices in this city were some
what disturbed on Tuesday, when
they received their monthly pay,
and found that the increase which,
which, according TO Information is
sued from Broad Street Station, a
couple OF days ago, was TO be given
to the clerks of the entire system
East of Pittsburgh and Erie, was not
forthcoming.
One Of the disgruntled ones called
THE EVENING JOURNAL, by tele-
phone. yesterday. and stated that the
clerks here had received no increase.
whatever II understand that the
clerks at Broad Street are on a
sliding scale he said. "and that
these increases are matters of an
nual routine. But we don't get any
OF them. The publication OF that
story put some OF us in bad with
merchants and others in this city
because, with the idea that we ali
have had our wages increased, theg
will proceed TO act accordingly" And
he hung up the telephone in what
was undoubtedly no pleasant frame
OF mind though whether because OF
the absence of the increase or the
prospective actions accordingly OF
the merchants, did not appear.

follow further interferences in the

The bill hits not at the brewers or
the puryeyors of-liquor, but at the

TO limit debate upon the virtues OF

tisements have weight against their
propagandas, else why the leg.sla-

poses do not cover settled anamus

There are many who hold this feeling
toward the newspapers because ohey

Editorial Opinion
NICKEL INTO Doing THEIR DIZZY
From the New York Sun.


From the New York Sun.
The Democrats in the House OF
Representatives have displayed
neither sagacity nor skill in their
treatment Of the resolutions calling
for investigation OF the circumstances
surrounding the leak OF President
Wilson's note to the belligerent ma
tons. They retreated from one IN
tenable position TO another equally
indefensible, continually losing pres
tige. until they were compelled, ad-
mittedly. against their Wills. TO au-
thorize the inquiry they should have
invited at the first suggestion OF
scandal.
They now have ample authority
from the House to prosecute an ex-
haustive inquest. But they take up
the task with their motive in ques-
ton and their sincerity under sus-
picion. The opportunity that was
opened to them on December % has
been lost, and their tardy act OF
January IS, discloses them as reluc-
family conforming their conduct to
an irresistible demand 'in resistance
to which they have exhausted every
device within their power.
The Democratic majority in the
House wears the unenviabke and un'
dignified fame of body OF statesmen
who asked to be kicked into the per-
Torrance OF their duty.

Drives at Newspapers
LION the BaItimoreAmerscan.l

There is a certain order Of intelli-
gence that compliments itself by the
belief that Il has done something Of
superior brilliance when II takes a
crack at newspapers. If the motive
can be hidden behind come preten-
tious ethical aim. the acuteness is
the more pleasing "Pillory the pa
pers" is the slogan Of this class Of
annoying lilliputians. They have
neither the faculty for fairness nor
the ability to distinguish between
serv.ceable endeavors and mischiev-
Gus propensity. They oftimes sit in
the seat OF the scorner because they
do not know enough to realize that
the object OF their derision wears the
badge OF resDectability with which
they can never adorn themselves.
One of the latest OF the drives at
newspapers covers itself with the
mantle of prohibition-a very worthy
mantle in the estimation OF very
many people and an unworthy one
in the estimation OF others. But that
is neither here nor there in the mat
ter IN point, which is the bill intro
duced into the House of Representa-
t'ves and that has been committed
to the Committee Of Postoffice and
Postroads. The intent Of he bill is
to penalize newspapers that carry
liquor advertisements into dry terri
tory. The persons backing this
measure have passed over the virtue
OF the old warning against swapping
the devil for a watch. They do not
appreciate the fact that the Consti-
tuition of the United States strictly
prohibits the passage OF law that
would curtail the freedom of the
press. Here is a superior prohibition
that these pin-heads would set aside
order TO carry into effect their
drive against newspapers upon al
legged moral grounds. Let one hold
to such views as he may as to the
morality OF newspapers printing
liquor advertisements. The one who
so thinks is IN the company OF those
who hold that theatres are highly
Objectionable and their advertise
rents should be suppressed. that
dancing IS highly Objectionable and
all advertisements of such should be
suppressed. A thousand and one
Sings representing differences Of
opinion could as properly be prohib-
tied from finding place in the al
vertising space OF the newspapers.
The bill in quest on In effect for
bids the use OF the mails to news

the newspaper being made liable Ia

station do not seem to appreciate

should increase the pay Of the enlisted in the
navy in order TO stimulate enlstments. At hearing

they receive entering the navy does not permit
