Pinchot warned his audience at the Academy of Music last night that such last-hour work was te be expected. The forester told the men nnd women gath ered there net te believe anything about him or his plans unless he himself told of it. Today's production by the Alter com cem com mlttce was built up just like a pelica court lawyer argues before the "Judge." It is n favorite method among lawyers of tills class te threw the opposition Inte confusion by asking such questions ns "Is it true that you beat your wife?" The Alter questionnaire of today, said Pinchot men, Is nleng that Hue. It fellows in part: Mr. Pinchot, who are you? Arc you a real Pennsylvanlan, or were you net born in Connecticut and lived in New Yerk until 1012? Did you ever cast n vete Iri Penn sylvania before 1012 when you were forty-seven (47) years of age? Wns net this first vete simply for the purpose of technically qualifying you te run for the United States Senate against Penrose in 1014? Have you ever voted in Pennsylvania since'1012 or 1014V If se, hew often, nnd when 'and where nnd whnt ticket? Did you net frequently declare In' your speeches in 1012 nnd 1014, "The Republican Party Is dead, I am through with the Republican Party forever?" ' Are these your views at the present time; if net, when did you undergo u change? Is it net a fact that, while you have been decrying extravagance, your De partment of Forestry in Pennsylvania was mere expensively nnd extrava gantly conducted by you than any ether Department of the State Government? Are you net n believer and advocate of government ownership, the control of natural resources Including forests, mines, lnnds, water-power, etc.? Arc you net also in favor of gov ernment ownership and operation of railroads and ether public utilities? Are you net also in favor of the unfair nnd inequitable doctrine of a direct "Graded and Pregressiva In come Tn" for State purposes In Penn sylvania? Are yen net an advocate of birth control, nnd ether socialistic ideas? Mr. Pinchot. where did you spend last Sunday, May 7? Was It in church or attending Bible class? Or did you net spend the time posing for moving pictures intended te fake the people? Did you net also pose beside a stream with fishing red ns if fishing in a stream you knew contained no fish? What ether fake poses have you had placed before the people of Pennsyl vania in this campaign? Among these lately te declare for Alter are the Rev. Charles Q. Jehnsen, Presbyterian minister of Lawrence County, the Rev. F. Ii. Tects, Metho dist minister of Ellwood City. Pa., nnd labor leaders in Armstrong County. ALTER FOR BUDGET Urges Change in Distributing of Ed ucational Funds Pittsburgh, Mny 13. Answering as set tlens that the State Treasury Is bankrupt, Attorney General Alter, speaking at Butler last night, declared that he is In favor of a budget system for the guldanee of State affairs, or any ether system which will keen tli. expenditures within the revenue derived from taxation "This appears impossible at times be j cause of the system of taislng revenue In use by the Stnte," Mr. Alter con- , tinned. "When the revenue falls short of the appropriations made by the Leg rectlens of Inequalities in taxation in tuc local districts.

Any one else but he would pt his retirement te ltablc. but Reed is hL'htimr with nil his force. If he is ' a beaten man today, people say he will gain strength steadily, until the pri maries are held. And if he wins then, he will have te fight all the way till election, for his pnrty has barely half the voters of Missouri and he will by no means enjoy tbe support of his whole party. Jim Is unrepentant. He never apologizes or defends himself. Wil Wil eon's opposition he welcomes it and gees boldly te the attack upon Wilsen, wne ny writing nneiner letter or two may make Missouri think that he is attempting te dlctnte. Reed is trying te Infuriate him into another letter or two. Prohibition? Weman Suffrage? Yes, he voted against them, but they are the Inw of the land new, se why talk about them? Te the voters Reed is semethlnir nf a circus, hence the tent. When he arrives in n town lie does net go te a hall like ether candidates. The great tent gees up like Bnrnum and Bailey's Thousands of people can be accommo dated In it and thousands come, brought by the advertising of the vast canvas and the knowledge that they are coin te hear "het stuff." h g Last of the He-Men There is something of the showman about every one In politics nnd there Is something of the showman about Jim Reed, otherwise he would net travel with a tent. But he is only n show- mlin te advertise his wares. The wares themselves nre geed honest wares, for tliere Is hardly a mere sincere man in popular Issue, lf I were te pi n n ..rrt M-lipt ,11 m 1 1 should, cjW liv us the iusl ej lJiH n-M an la m1I(Im. ' With wemM tnf frage coming and reform of ether kinds, the He-Man, like the buffalo, Is only found In captivity. Jim is a He-Man at large. Perhaps the women will like his kind, who knows. Jim Is trying 1: out this year. Senater Penrose wns another of the He-Men and he hfld mUch In common with Reed. Beth were essentially aristocrats In their point of view. Jim may net realise It, but he Is, or per haps he Is, only a Democrat angry at the weaknesses of democracy. Beth had the aristocratic contempt of sham and truckling te mere numbers. Penrose was contemptuously Indifferent. Reed Is contemptuously angry. Anger teems his prevailing passion. Ills fare Is flushed. His voice is hard. His em He Is without "geed nature. Always Attacking shams If you analyze all of Jim's enmities you will And that they were always Incurred through attacking shams. Toward bunk he is always implacable. He perhaps sees bunk where there Is net any hunk, like a prosecutor who sees guilt where there Isn't any guilt, but he pursues it, real or Imaginary, with relentless passion. I say he Is an aristocrat, because one of his princi ples seems te be wherever there Is a majority, leek for bunk. On the principle the quarrel with Wilsen was inevitable. Seme say it began ever a postefflce. Probably It did. But it would have begun anyway, Wilsen making the world safe for de mocracy te Reed was bunk, ns, of course, te some extent he was, Reed could net have stayed his band even though lis realized that te oppose this bnnk would cost him his political life in Missouri. Hoever, glorified by the press daring the war, was bunk. And h still campaigns against Hoever. The war Itaslf was bunk. Of course pro hibition was bunk, nnd woman suffrage wns bunk, and the Maternity Bill was bunk, ns, of course, everything te be come n popular movement, whatever its merits are at bottom, must inevi tably be bunk in- the end. Jim is a great political antl-lnfja-tienlst. He lets out much gas from the always overblown-up things in Washington. He does it angrily. In his soul he feels as If he had n mission. His mission is te reduce, whether It be Wilsen, Hoever, prohibition, woman's movements or what net. He leeks at. n humbug like a he-man. He talks en the. fleer of tbe Senate what ethers only whisper in the cloak rooms. He sneaks the private opinion of the undeceived. He serves the cause of truth nnd because he is always angry he probably often everserves it. Of course, prudence counsels that you ennnet go en doing these things all your days. Truth probably likes te have a valet, but docs net want a master and Jim speaks of her like a master. As a sort of village atheist in national pol itics he has been a privileged charac ter, but perhaps his franchise has ex pired. If he gees freiq Washington he will he a less, though nothing constructive ever comes from htm. He is a real person and there are few such in the Senate. And there is se much bunk that at least one sworn fee of It should be at hand. 52,000 Youngsters March in Big Parade keeping step te march time.
