GOVERNOR PENNYPACKER WINS
FIRST TILT WITH PENROSE
Appointment of Knox to Succeed Quay Was Vic
tory for the Governor-He Tells How He
Disagreed With Penrose

President Taft, place in which the IN
cumbent. If he fails, Is sure 20 gc1 the
blame. and if he succeeds, is sure to have
some one else receive the credit. ] accom-
panied the appointment with an opinion
giving my view Of the effect Of tho pro-
visions Of the Constitutions Of the United
States and of the state differing from that
which had been expressed by Mr.. Carson
and been supported by the newspapers,
which latter had no care to have the state
we'll represented and only sought TO cn.
barrass Peurose and the Republican party.
Unable TO meet the arguments of my paper,
which no lawyer undertook to do, they
sought 20 take it out Of me by calling me
a "violator Of the Constitution" an IAN
archist," n "nullificr" and by saying 1 had
committed "palpable malfeasauce' and
a violation of law" In fact, was as
much abused by these interested commen-
tators for selecting the most capable man
in the state to represent it in the Senate
as I was later for seeing to It that Penn
sylvania had the most beautiful and most
inexpensive Capitol in the country.
Tomorrow Governor PennypaCker tells about
the nomination Of Roosevelt by the Republiratt Il
National Convention in 1904.

drawback provision is inserted in the tariff
law and provided the custom officials CO.
operate with the importers and the exporters
10 lacllltate the quick passage of goods from
the ships to the factories and back again.
The charms of the free port appeal more to
the Imagination of the man who has not
studied the question than to the reason of
the man who has attempted to think out
a way for adjusting them TO the manufacture
ing system Of America. 1t is theoretically
conceivable that we could in time develop a
group of manufacturers who would build
their factories exclusively in q tarff-free
zone and manufacture solely for export.
But virtually such an outcome is unlikely.
The great manufacturing industries Of Amer
lea are scattered all over the country. Their
chief market is at home and is likely to re-
main here for generation or more. Many
of them, Handicapped, as the free traders
would say, by the tariff on some Of their
raw materials, are already able TO undersell
the manufacturers of other countries in the
world markets, The world markets are
always open to them for the disposal of their
surplus, and if the surplus were large enough
they would be able to compete even with the
manufacturer in free zone Their factories
are usually placed, too, in close proximity to
the native raw materials in the interior of
the country raw materials which the manu-
faCturer in free port on the coast would
have 70 haul long distances. The extra
freight which he would have TO pay on his
native raw materials would in many cases
more than counterbalance the amount of
duty lie would save on his foreign raw
materials
In its practical operations a free port be-
comes sort of a prison for the men working
in it. The whole area must be inclosed by
a man-proof wall The worknen must be
locked in when they enter in the morning.
and in case the raw materials are valuable
and easily portable, each workman must be
searched when he leaves at night lest lie
smuggle out goods on which the duty has
not been paid. Indeed, such port would
be a harvest field for sinugglers,
As already said, the drawback system sim
pliRed and expanded offers all the advantages
tages, and offers them 10 the interior as we'll
as to the coast cities

PENNYPACKER ON PENROSE

NTGilIN a man guesses right once he may
w be only a good guesser. But when he
guesses right second and a third time
you begin TO believe that he is not guess
ing at ar, but knows what he is talking
about. The old idea Was that Quay and
Penrose had the same amount and the
same kind Of influence over Governor Pen.
nypacker. That Illusion vanishes for
ever after perusal Of the sharp estimate
of Mr.. Penrose which the autobiographer
has made and which appears in another
column on this page.
Governor Pennypacker did not have the
intrepidity Of 4 Roosevelt or the eloquence
OF a Wilson with which TO take his fel.
low-cltizens by storm But in the appoint
ments for which he was personally re.
sponsible he gave us of his best. To the
Senate lac sent Knox, whose name was
not on the Penrose list" lie measured
men with a yardstick, and if he had not
been reasonably sane he would have put
that yardstick TO its violent secondary use
on some Of those he knew

OF a man or measure upon the ground
that the man was the most capable for the
