TAKING A FAIR VIEW.
(From the Albany Herald.)

TF TOm OIIO 1A1Oe1sIy 1IN-
The Herald has not, up to this
time. made any claims or predictions
as to the trend and status of sentl-
ment with reference to the pending
senatorial race, but, if it is any
Judge. the Hoke Smith forces are
gaining recruits daily in this neck
of the woods.
Tie senator's old factional enc
mics have been rather "overdoing
the thing" here lately, and the. cam
paign of malignity, exaggeration and
instrumentation launched by their
leaders is evidently reacting and ere
ating a disgust in the minds OF IN

BREAKING 1T GENTLY

TOHN T. KING. of Connecticut, has
81 arrived in Chicago with the proxy oi
Senator Boies Penrose.
This may mean that Senator Fen
rose will not attend the national com
mittee meetings in Chicago.
1t may also mean many other Things
which will doubtless become generally
apparent as the summer passes.
Following the announcement on Sat
urday that the senator would be re-
lieved Of the work in the nitional com
mittec. no one need be surprised II 1t
lis announced at the end of the week
that the senator has yielded to the ad
vice of his physicians and will remain
In Philadelphia. This announcement Is
not likely to come much sooner. for II
is regarded as necessary for politica
reasons that the belief should continue
as long as possible that the head of tho
Old Guard will be in Chicago to direct
affairs.
When the time comes we shall doubt
less be assured that he will keep il
touch with the leaders by means of th'
long distance telephone.

OUR WAR CENTERS

lHNHE figures given out by the Census
i Bureau show astonishing gains in
some Pennsylvania cities. Chester to-
day has a population of 50,O30, an in
crease of almost 10000 over the sta
tistics of 1910, or 500 per cent. Beth
lehem shows an even larger gain in
percentage, as its population now is
Z 20, ,35S. an increase of 81 ,52l, or 292. 3
per cent.
These large increases were due TO the
war, as both Chester and Bethlehem
were among the greatest war Centers of
the country. the former in ammunition
end shipbuilding and the latter in steel
and guns. 1t is now up to these cities
to establish such industries to take the
place of the vanished or diminishing
war work as will make this growth per-
manent. The requirement of the popu
lation was based upon unusual cond-
tions; the holding of it, and this is the
only way in which it can become of
permanent value to the cities. rests
with the opportunities for employment
which the town can offer. With the
present shortage of labor. however. there
is little likelihood that this matter will
become serious enough to menace the
newly acquired population for some time
TO come.
Neither the figures for Philadelphia
nor for the other big cities of the coun g
try have yet been made public. Here
there will be also an enormous increase,
probably somewhere in the npighbor
hood of $50 900, perhaps more. Phila
delphia and it's environs undoubtedly
did more physical war work than any
other city in the nation. and the effect
must be shown in an imr cssive in
crease in the population. Hog Island.

which either were established or else

Most of these men are still here and a

DRES1DENT WILSON mas indorsed
l. the treaty plank in the platform Of
the Virginia Democrats.
The treaty plank in the platform of
the Indiana Republicans is said to find
favor with the national Republican
leaders.
But the two planks. when stripped
Of their political f1apdoodle, are sub
stantially identical. In each of them.
however, the opposition party is de-
nounced in unmcasured terms. The
Virginia Democrats INDUCED in fulsome
praise of the President and the Indiana
Republicans found nothing good to say
of him or of anything that he has done.
When it got down to definite state.
mrnt of policy the Virginia Democrats
said: 1--WE advocate prompt ratitica
tion of the treaty without reservations
| which would impair its substantial in
tegrity."
If they had been opponents of the
President they would have said: I'VE
advocate prompt ratification of the
! treaty with reservations which would
/ protect the sovereignty of the United
! States. And there would have been
no vital difference in what they pro
! posed.
The Indiana Republicans, it is true,
declared themselves in j'absolute. .oppo
sition to the covenant of the League of
! Nations as submitted by the Presi-
dent" But they proceeded to indorse
an international association which
should do the very things which the
covenant provides that the league shall
do. Their plank in effect indorses the
! league covenant with the Lodge rcser-
vations. The Virginia plank indorses
! the covenant with reservations which
would not Impair its essential in
tegrity."
Yet an attempt is making to create
! the impression that the ittitude of the
two parties is radically different on the
issue. If President Wils,n were the
issue, this attempt could succeed. fol
the Republicans hate him and the Dem :
ocratS are compelled to defend him
But the real issue is whether the United
States should associate itself with the
other nations of the world for the pur
pose of discouraging future wars and
for the settlement of the problems which
have grown out of the world war
Neither the Republicans nor the Demo
Gratis dare say they are opposed to such
association. for their leaders know
that a majority of the voters would

A TIME has come when flowers left

soldiers at home, in France and else
where are no longer adequate TO meet
the nations obligations to the men who
died for it in war.
These were young men, and they are
dead after long and lonely marches and
unknowable pain. They were no more
eager than any one else to die. The
very morning of life was theirs. But
they put aside their hopes and their
lives without question. For what did
they die. and for whom? Americans
always have had definite and proud ends
in war. When they went to France
they believed they were to fight for the
good of mankind. for peace and to end
the brutal and stupid and barbaric riot
of greed and lies that leads to what aye
properly known as wars of diplomacy.
Were they deceived?
Were they sacrificed after all. in the
cause of International investments, or TO
strengthen the hands of empire makers,
or to lift new tyrants Up l.. the places
of the old. or merely to help one nation
to sell pots and pans where another
nation sold them before? Or will the
world actually receive the great gifts
that these soldiers wished to give:
