COMMITTEE OF 4S BALKS
AT LIBERAL CHALK MARK
Unhappy Third Party Elements Suing Both Sides Of Midway
Line Fixed for Permanent Standing Place
BY CLINTON w. GILBERT

gizing when you admit the lukewarm-
ness and moderation of your views?
If you say you are a liberal to con-
servatives you know that they say to
themselves that this man who by educa-
tion. birth and interest should be one
Of us, is betraying the great cause Of
the existing order, for he that is not
with us is against us. And If you say
you are a liberal to radicals, yon know
they pity your Laodiceanism and regard
you as no better than conservative.
The word and the idea have fallen
into disrepute. They have taken sides
today. They incline to be either one
thing or the other. Which is probably
the reason why Pinchot and Rec
ord are having so much trouble try
ing to keep their new party exactly
where they would like to have it, mid
way between the two extremes.
And even il they succeed in the end =,
they will probably find themselves de-
nounced just as hard for being radicals
as they would be if they went the whole
distance to frank radicalism.

Presidents action in pardoning an Hi

that the quality of mercy recommended

considerable straining - through the

instance.

NOTHING that the Republican,

NOTHING that the Republicans
~ could have dragged to light would
have been half as damaging.
There were min" separate indictments.
eight of which concerned gubernatorial
vetoes during Pattison's : first admins
tration.
In addition he was arraigned for call
ing the useless extra session of 1893
at an expense of $500 900 to the state :;
and it was intended to help his party.
He was held up to public scorn for
vetoing an act to provide for the bur-
ial of honorably discharged soldiers of
the Civil War az an expense not to
exceed $50 and $l5 additional for a
headstone.
"This," il was said. Twill send the
cry of the soldiers tombstone veto into
every soldiers organization in the
state
"He vetoed all the small pension
bills passed by the Legislature for dis
abled soldiers and soldiers widows"
it went on.
Another sin charged by Wallace and
his friends was that Pattison vetoed IAN
act for the better protection of the wages
of labor" which would have effectually
btOpptu NH' pay Hl'uL VI NuBtS Dy que
bill or order.
This was his alleged crime against
labor that was further emphasized by
his refusal to sign an act providing for
the establishment of hospitals for min
ers injured in the bituminous and semi :
bituminous coal regions Of the state.
THESE things would be used with
l. terrible effect among the veterans,
farmers and mechanics, walled Wal
lace and his friends.
And then the closing sentence of this
MachiaveIian appeal carried its bit /.
terest sting. IT was supposed, or pre =
tended, to be a confidential Communi =
cation, although scattered wide as the
winds, yet it said
"You are a Democrat. Show this cir
cular to your fellow Democrats, SO that
they may be warned without exposing
the matter to the public in general"
THE Democrats thirty years later
l. have inherited the same disposition
to bite. claw and defame each other
that marked the days of William A.
Wallace.
At San Francisco they battered the
| Palmer boom out of all recognition 10
its original self; they kicked the boy
Orator of the Platte" out of the arena
they gave the gentleman in the White
House forty minute ovation and then
raped his guiding hand over the knuck
les with an AK handle.
1t was one of their number that pa
raded the Cox divorce around the rins
and walloped the McAdoo boom In the
plexus.
No wonder Democracy's lips have been
sealed about Chicago since the Sau
Francisco convention adjourned.

NNE of the most sinister attacks in
~ the history Of partisan politics in
Pennsylvania was made by William A.
Wallace, Democrat, against Robert z.
Pattison, Democrat.
Philadelphia factional differences in
the Ware Penrose Republican party
never reached the high water mark at
tanned by the fighting Democrats Of
1890.
It was all very polite and ladylike.
but every one of Wallace's knives was
two edged, every pole-ax had two
spikes and every blunderbuss was
double shotted
Before the nomination of Pattison
for Governor was brought about by the
Democratic state convention of that
year. 'the friends of ex- Senator Wal
lace" issued circular widecast over
the state intended to ruin Pattison by
furnishing ammunition publicly to the
Republicans.
Note the cunning, the poisoned pill
within the gelatine coating of this
choice morsel from that noted address:
"While we all admire Governor Pat
tison and claim for him that he made
an excellent executive, there are some
things in his official record which the
Republican leaders will use with pow
erful effect against him if he should be
nominated"
In other words, it was clarion call
to Republicans to sit up and notice
that the Democrats were ready to fur
nish ammunition to blow Pattison off
the political map.

ALLIED STATESMEN AS
BOOSTERS FOR LENINE
All Russia, Not the Bolshevlst Minor
ity, Has Been Fighting
Poland and japan

A MERICANS have reason to be
"A grateful for the journalistic fore
sight and enterprise that has given them
Colonel Edward NJ. House as an eye
witness and reporter of events through
which Europe is moving to new crisis
that may profoundly affect the drift OF
civilization for generations.
Russian armies under the banners Of
the soviets are jostling at the back
doors Of western civilization. They are
infamed by victory. The elimination
which Europe has dreaded ever since
the day when the armistice was signed,
an aggressive union between dominant
cliques in Russia and Germany, seems
nearer today than it ever seemed be-
fore. Each conference of allied states
men reflects signs of revision Of allied
policy toward Russia.
A stupendous game in which the
stakes are imperial power and immeas-
urable commercial advantage is being
fought out silently between the older
governments and a new force that looms
is ominously in Europe as hooded and
masked apparition. 1t may end in
sudden astonishing return to general
peace. And it may end in a fresh
trampling down of peoples. Advice,
dispassionately written, untainted by
ignorance or prejudice and inspired by
the cold and hard but dependable truth,
is badly needed in this country since it
is imperative that we see through and
beyond the fogs of propaganda that rise
above conflict in which our own rights
and interests are deeply involved. This
is what Colonel House is providing
through dispatches to the PUBLIC
LEDGER that are brilliantly clear. Of
extraordinary scope and unfailingly CON
sistent with the purely American point
of view.

0DILL" WALLACE Travelled on
Always behind his back, however.

NDILL" WALLACE Travelled on
ID combination Of astuteness and
dignity in his pathway to high prefer
ment. He never forgave an injury.
Whether he ever forgot favor or not
do not know.
He resented the intrusion Of young
blood into the councils of his party, and
so IL came about after he had dropped
out of the United States Senate, and
was succeeded by John I. Mitchell, COM
promise Republican, he slipped back into
the rank and file Of Democracy and
likewise to the minor position OF
state senator for one term.
When Wallace found himself in the
state Senate he conducted himself as
though he were still a member of the
United States Senate and the head of his
party.
He carried with him fine collection
of petty hatreds. unhealed sores and
personal animosities, which from time
to time he exhibited to the public much
as a peddler would exhibit his tray OF
notions.
The largest and finest collection that
he ever placed on exhibition was when
he and his friends tried TO plant a
dynamite bomb under Robert E. Patti
son, then a candidate for his second
nomination for Governor.

DRIOR to the late San Francisco
L convention the Democrats of the
country chortled. chuckled, thrust
tongue in cheek. bit thumbs in derision
and did other cute things to indicate
that the aforesaid Republicans had been
led around in a circle by the party
bosses.
Since the display at San Francisco,
when their alleged unterritied represen-
tatives were paradcd like prize ami
mails with a ring in the nose at an
agricultural fair, there has not been a
single grin of amusement or grimace
of ridicule from any one Of them.
Somebody sold out somebody else at
San Francisco, and well they know it.
1t is just what .''Bil'' Wallace tried
to do but failed in the case of Bob"
Pattison. The Democratic party, state
and national, has the proud record of
having more hatchet men and political
gunmen in its ranks than any other
party on the face Of the good Lord $
beautiful green earth.
William A. Wallace was the ambush
ed foe of the second Pattison campaign.
