is matter as vital to New York and TO the
nation as it is to Philadelphia. There Is
reason to believe that the President has this
matter Of ship canal in mind. Director
General NTcAdoO indicates that he will give
it and kindred questions consideration If the
railroad control bill gives him authority,
as it probably will.
But the congestion at New York has done
more than stir up interest in tile port OF
Philadelphia. 1t has given hope and encour-
agemcnt to southern ports like Charleston,
Savannah and Jacksonville, which have fa-
clitics for taking southern products directly
to the sea for transshipment to our European
allies 1t is not idle now to discuss this
question of the distribution of transporta-
tion to hasten our war exports. The other
Atlantic ports, apart from New York; are
alive to the situation and are preparing to
grasp their opportunities. AS matter of
fact they are driven to it, The present Con-
preSS has been exceedingly friendly to the
South. Political conditions are largely re-
sponsihlr for that. But the war has also
been friendly to the southern States. Cotton
has had sort of right of way. 1t Is one
of our greatest exports. Moreover, the South
Is developing ON manufacturing lines. 1t
has begun to put itself in direct compet-
tion with eastern and western States, and
claims to have the raw materials which
enable it TO successfully Compete. The Gov
ernment. too, has recently recognized this
situation. 1t has started n great nitrate
plant in Tennessee 1t Is putting up large
powder works in West Virginia and other
States. The construction of cantonments all
over the South has increased the southern
interest in finance and shipping. There is
strong probability, therefore, that New York
or any other wcll-established port will here
after have to fight for supremacy. While
concentration of power has grown tremen-
dousy under the present Administration. the
distribution of wealth, of manufactures and
of trade has not been overlooked.

WHEN THE GREAT DAY CAME

LNOR a generation the ultra radicals of the
world have dreamed, talked and written
about the coming of great day when
some worldwide upheaval would develop
into rising Of all the workers of the
nations against the steel magnates and
other magnates. And when the great day
came Morris Hillquit ran against it and
Emma Goldman went to Jail to stop it, but
Charles NJ. Schwab stood up and welcomed
1t as the dawn Of the time when the men
Of the working class-the men without
property-will control the destinies of the

My dear Governor--Rumors are flying
all over the State that great pressure
Is being brought to induce you to call
the Legislature In extra session. That
you will not be led into such a cruel trap
/ feel most confident. No true friend of
yours or of OR party will advise, much
less urge, you to commit such crime
against yourself or the State you love so
well. Men who take shadows for sub
stance, men who place self above their
party, their state and our nation, may
for personal reasons want an extra ses-
sion but no true friend OF Pennsylvania
will ask you to commit such blunder.
What justification can be put forth to
warrant such a call in the fact of exist.
ing conditions? On you alone will fall the
odium that such Il session would result
in, for | tell you, Governor, YOU could
no more confine the members of the
House to the specifications in your proc
lamation than you could change the
course of the heavenly bodies, so please
don't be persuaded by the Syrans who
would, for the sake OF some personal
gain, lull you to IL destructive sleep
Every one in Pennsylvania knows that
you favored, and now favor, the decent
things so earnestly advocated by. our de.
parted friend. Colonel Quay. Every one
knows that II was through no fault of
yours that personal registration uniform
primaries and the apportonment Oh our
State failed therefore. don't permit the
enemies of those natural Republican prin.
clples to use you to wash their filthy gar
ments on the floor Of the House of Rep
resentatives.
Governor, I know. as we'll as any
human being can know such a thing.
that Matthew Stanley Quay, If here,
would tell you not to listen to such ap.
peals. I say to YOU, Governor, in all the
sincerity of my heart to call the Legis-
Iature together at this or any other time
during the remainder of your term would
dim the luster of your splendid record.
but go on pursuing the splendid good
road you have built throughout the
length and breadth Of our great State,
and when your term ,ends you will feel
grateful to yourself ard pleased with the
real friends like myself who urge you
to keep clear of the vicious trap set for
YOU by men who pretend sincerity where
only selfshness, greed and hypocrisy
lurk.
