SAVE THE CHARTER

NESIFFORD PINClIOT has done well to
M remind the voters of this city of the
( ptuns of the hackers Of the Alter candidacy
< 30 etnasculate the Charter il they get control
- the State Government.
,>E An attempt was made at The last session
~ the Legislature to remove from the Chhr.
'5tery the provision directing that the cleaning
of the streets and the removal of garbage
And rubbish be done by the city itself The
ATTEMPT failed but it is certain to he re-
Aewed next winter.
This attempt can be frustrated only by
lie vigilance of the Philadelphia voters.
Mr. Alter is the candidate Of a group of
contractors who believe in the system of
doing public work by private contractors.
It would be unsafe for the people of this
city to trust the protection of their Charter
n the contractor influences.
Mr.. Pinchot is not only free from con-
traotor influence, but he has definitely an
noui1ced that he is opposed to any back
ward step in the struggle to free this city
from contractor domination. No con-
eistent supporter of the Charter can vote
Tor the nomination of Mr.. Alter. And no
householder who wishes the burden Of taxa
tton to be made as light as possible can vote
4orehirn without increasing the chances of
the revival of the contractor system. which
cost the people at least 81 900. .WI n year

The dean said that there is no, sufficient
comical material about a college to enable
humorous magazine to survive"
As matter Of fact, there is no place
where there is more prOvOcat!on 10 humor
than college. unless It be Legislature.
or n city Council. or political convention
or sewing society. or n fashionable ball

other assembly Of men OF women or of men

They know this in the University Of
Pennsylvania, where the Punch Bowl has
survived for many years, with no lack of
humorous material to fill its pages. The
Cornell Widow and the Harvard Lampoon
do not lack for humor. Yet with miraculous
discretion all these humorous pubications
leave almost untouched one Of the most nro. g.

and that is the seriousness with which some

any difference between them thdte difference
arises from opposing views on the best ma
tional policies. The Governor Of Pennsyl-
vania has nothing to do with tariff legisla-
tion, nor with the nationalizins Of the rail-
roads. nor with internal revenue taxation.
nor with the foreign policy of the Govern
ment, nor with the size Of the army or the
navy.
The attempt to tie up the campaign OF
McSparran for the governorship with the
efforts OF Cox to keep himself alive as
national Democratic leader is likely to react
disastrously upon McSparran. There are
two reasons for this One is that this state
is overwhelmingly Republican on national
issues and the other Is that Cox himself Is
unpopular here.
When Mr.. Wilson was n candidate Tor
re- election in 1916 he polled 521 900 votes.
The women were not then enfrnnchised.
Yet in 1920. when the women voted. MIR.
Cox polled only 100000 votes. or $4,000
less than Mr.. Wilson. while Mr.. Harding
poled ,21S, 900 votes or 515, 900 more than
Mr. Hughes polled in 1916.
One would have thought under the cir
cumstances that Mr.. Cox himself would

any Democratic candidate in this State and
that he would have remained in Ohio. And
one would have thought also that McSpnr-

ment than to ask man who could not even
poll his party vote in u national election to
speak on the same platform with their can
Gidate.
