Mr.. PENROSE'S ILLNESS

DURING the last week there has
~ been cumulative evidence ia indi-
cate that senator penroSe will be- I'M
able to attend the Chicago convention.
The eliminating report Of yesterday.
which appears to prove tn" senator :
physicians and friends have decided
that the journey would be uuwiNc. may
be denied. but it is none tho less OBJ
viously true.
The absence of Mr.. Penrosc will leave
large gap in the party councils at
Chicago. Without the man who was
depended on TO act as u presiding genius
and final arbtcr in successive pmerGcn-
cies, the convention may be expected to
grams. The outcome never seemed 50
uncertain as il seems now.
Even those who disagree with Mr..
Penrose in matters of national and
party policy recognize tho force OF his
driving talent for organization and his
ability to keep a cool head in any sort
of storm. His leadership is not modern.
But it is objective. forcotul and without
the hindrancc of QualmS or doubts. He
Al
the Old Guard at Chicago. And the
suggestion that he will direct and ad
wise lesser leaders from his Sirkroom
here will mean little to trained party
men, who know how swiftly affairs may
move at a national convention and how
easily great masses Of delegates may
be swept beyond control.
Governor Sproul. H. matters stand
now, will hav" to shoulder the rcSpon-
sbilities of leadership in IN" PcnnSyl-
yania delegation at Chirago. What
unexpected chang" may occur in party
councils, suddenly deprived Of Mr.. Pen
roses leadership, no one knows Al.
most anything seems possible, partiru-
larly in view Of the disclosures being
made by the Senate committee which is
investigating campaign contributions
The convention may yet biunder to the
light. 1t may even be led in the ways
OF progress

ccstatically beside him in an automobile
that could do everything but fly. They
followed the example of some of the
sons and daughters of the elite in this
city who have been going to Elkton in
order that they might live apply ever
after.
Elkton used to be a quiet and idyllic
spot. One of these days it may put up
"A tiny marriage chapel of marble and
have parsons working in eight hour
shifts and advertise itself as a national
institution. Even then something may
be said upon its side. For the growing
popularity of the community shows
that there are some among us still un-
afraid of the high costs Of living. And
an eIopcrs paradise has one very def
mite meaning of its own. Most clopc
mcnts are unconscious protests against
the terrible dullncss of the modern

OF his life in the White House. His
withcrng beam, directed with awful

candidate reeling for the permanent

The light burned cruelty on General
Wood yesterday and revealed some
ugly cracks in the armor of that digni

dollars IN a single campaign contribu-

suspicion if not with actual dislike.

UPON PARTING

THE skylark's song delights the sky,
l. Makes lcaden clouds to smile:
Its azure. tcnored melody
Embosses all worth while;
And though 'twould love to scatter mirth
Der eternal roads sublime,
Yet sad that beauties such on earth
Must course their end sometime.
The rivulet's thirst Quenching flow
Delightsome watts the strains
That, kissed and graced by stellar glow.
Fill zephyr sprinkled lanes;
And though 'twere well that il be so
For ages on and on,
Yet this delight must sometimes 20
Among the joys bygone.
The moon singed road leads up the trail
Where With each russet lip
II lays a kiss on ev'ry dale
Passed on its winding trip;
And though twould do this DER an Ser
Much to its glad delight,
iot time can see when it no more
Shall be pleasing site.
The spiral fumes rise lazily
From ocean greyhound stacks,
ana curling skyward hazily
They source eye pleasing tracks;
And though this were their one great
joy
Which God 10 them did send.
Yet time shall come and such destroy
For all must toward an end.
The blushing rose perfumes the vale
With heavily fragrant scent,
And zephyr. horne, il molds a trail
Where bluebirds nest content;
And though to have this ever be
Were gladstone and divine,
Yet naught lasts through infinity
Though soul leased to His shrine.
And like the skylark and the rose,
The rivulet and road,
Love. heaven born, must take repose
Pom quondam joy reaped load:
And though 'twere well that Love
should be
Eternal and sublime
Yet. Love Of Mine. alas for me,
Must end by will OF time.

lines ready for operation when the new
company has been organized.
Consequently it would seem to be the
part of wisdom to agree at the earliest
possible date on the construction Of. at
least one of the proposed high speed
lines. There may he line more needed
than the one in North Broad street, but
unless that can be shown II would be
well to begin letting contracts for short
sections of that line. so that work could
proceed on it continuously during the
preliminary arrangements for the re-
organization of the whole system. AS
prices Of construction came down each
succeeding section would cost less than
the last, aud as the work proceeded
there would he time for making arrange

those set apart for other lines so that
it could be completed rs far as origi-

would be necessary. for all expenses of
construction have increased since the

Unless some such course as this is
adopted relief will be pushed indefinitely
into the future. while such course
would put the city in shape to reap
more benefits from transit reorganiza-

would mean simply carrying two prof
