WHY BAKER SHOULD NOT BE PINCHOT'S STATE CHAIRMAN As Representative of the Old Machine and Manager for Beldleman, He For feited Rights te Consideration New lly fJEOKOK NOX MeCAlS Till: ltepublkan primary elcelten atde. and the candidate for Governer hnving been selected in th" person of Gifferd l'ln l'ln ceot. the paramount Issue new is the or ganization of the Republican State Commit tee and the selection of its chairman and secretary. There will then fellow the choice of some distinguished Hepublican te represent Penn sjlvnnia en the National Hepublican Com mittee. Naturally Mr Pinchot. from the powerful position which he holds ns candidate for Governer, Is expected te wield some in fluence lu the selection of a State chairman who will have charge of the conduct of his lampalgu this fall While it has been asserted by defeated Organization leaders that the selection of a State chairman Is a matter exclusively within the eonlrel of the State Committee, and that the candidate for Governer Is only consulted as a matter of courted, the fact remains, nevertheless, thnt he should be, if net the personal selection of or the personal friend of the lending candidate, at least net a pelittial opponent. AY Harry IJaker. of Hnrrlsburg. secretary of the State Committee, the most active leprescntatlve of the old Organization, is being pushed persl-tently for the position of State chairman by his friends, who went down te defeat in the recent prlmurv . It N urged In Mr. Halter's behalf that he is. by and large, the most admirably equipped individual In the State for the position He is affable, a "geed fellow," knew every county leader of importance and every politician of no Importance and that his experience in past campaigns has equipped him te deal with the most intri cate problems that may arise in the future. Above nil, it is urged, he is free from the taint of graft that has marred the politic nl career of se many men en Capitel Hill within the last twelve months, and be occupies u strategic position bv virtue of his being one of the co-leaders of Dauphin County. These nre arguments advanced by leaders of the old machine nnd. surprlslnglv. echoed by certnln Independents, men nnd women, who for reasons thus far undl-clesed are lending their voices te strengthen the chorus of indersement going Pinchetwnrd en behalf of Mr. Haker. There is, hevvevet, nfter all is said, but one reasonable argument advunced for making Mr. Haker chairman of the State Committee; it i that he knows the State and the old Organization lenders. It is net pretended that he knows all the new men who have come into pevvir or the local leaders raised en the cret of the l'ln l'ln ceot wave It is net asserted that he is entitled te the chairmanship by anr con spicuous display of leadership or self. sacri ficing service. In the past Mr Haker's role. aide from his position in the State Senate, hns been that of political superintendent for the late Senater Penrose Lvcry politician in Penn sylvania knows that Heles Penrose conduct hi- own enmpnigns nnd thnt Mr. Haker merely carried out thi instructions he re ceived from the senior Senater It wns Penrose strategy that worked Re publican triumphs in the past It is no derogation of Mr. Baker's astute ness, bused en his last performance, te -ay that he Is a political opportunist. He has heroine one -nice the primary cnmpaigu which vrit Mav 10. In that campaign he flung his duty te the State Committee, his discretion and bis political acumen te the four winds of heaven He burned his bridges behind him and raised the banner of revolt against the traditions of hi, part Penrose was dead One of the candidates for Governer vvn Lieutenant Governer Bel dlemiin. of Dnupbin. Mr. Haker is of Dau phin County. Beldleman wns, and Is, hN side partner and eo-bevs in that bailiwick. Mr. Baker's duties as secretary of the State Committee were clear-cut and explicit He was expected te conduct impartially the business of the committee, nrrange for the conduct of the campaign and otherwise direct matters as secretary and servnnt of the State bed . Beldleman, linker's friend and fe'Iew boss of Dauphin County, wns a candidate for Governer Instead of maintaining an Im partial attitude and devoting his energies solely te the nffairs of the Republican State Committee, Haker ignored traditions, geed taste and sound judgment nnd plunged into the melee In violation of the plainest ethics of fair politics, he as secretary of the Stare Com mittee openly proclaimed himself as the, mouthpiece nnd manager of Mr. Beldleman and, therefore, the opponent of Gifferd Pin chot and every ether candidate In the field for the nomination. It was the rae-t Inconsistent and Inex cusable violation of the duties of the score scere tnry of h State Committee in the recent his. tery of that hedv And new Mr Baker, with the backing et Capitel Hill, the Sn.vder. Kepharts and Bcidlcinnns-, the Leslies, arcs nnd Kyres asks that he be elected State chairman te conduct Gifferd Pinchot's campaign! That he, an opponent of the Pike County candidate and (he representative of a re jected coterie, be selected as Mr. Pinchot's representative ' Thnt he, above all the able and efficient Republicans In the State, shall be selected te stand before the world as Gifferd Pin chot's political manager and alter ego! AMATEURS IN DEMOCRACY CUBA'S finances continue te be a matter of grave concern in Washington. As the fester-parent of Cuba, with responsl respensl lillltlcH defined in the Piatt amendment and ihrerfull conceded by the Cubans, we can net slnnd idly by nnd see the Pearl of the Antilles drift through exploitation of polltl pelltl cal groups into a quicksand of debt. jaMls'la the case of Cuba .we rr. minded that self-government Is something of n line nit which cannot be successfully practiced l these who nre wholly vitbeut experience, nnd thnt it taste for democracy often hns te be acquired like n tnsle for olives or cnvlur. This same lessen might be rend, of course. In the political records of n poed. ninny watds In the City of Philadel phia. But K Is written even mere vividly In Cuba, in Mexico nnd in some of the states of Central America. There, ns In a geed many parts of the 1'nlted States, the people de net want te be bored, by problems of government. They nre mere thnn content te let the gangs de It. And the gangs in Cuba and Mexico nre doing nplcnly. Seme of the ruling cliques In Cuba, if half we hear Is true, seem te feel sincerely that the resources of the Island are net for the people, but for the chosen politicians, their relatives nnd their friends. Se it alwnys has been In Mexico and in ninny of the Lntln American states. We ourselves have hed mere than a hundred jears In which te practice the arts of self-government, nnd we nre oe far from perfection le be able te berate our Ineffectual neighbors without some misgivings. WAITING FOR EUROPE THR disposition In this country te regard the act of treaty ratification by the 1 nited States ns tantamount te u comple tion of contract hns naturally diverted popular attention from the status of the Washington Conference ngrecments with respect te the foreign Powers involved. A treaty which survives the Americnn Hcnntc is deemed proof against the arrows of mis fortune. While there is perhaps some justification for this view, the fact remains that the Washington compacts are inoperative until approval Is duly registered nbread. It Is of lecerd that Europe ence. waited with considerable patience for n final anil authoritative Americnn decision concerning the Treaty of Versailles. In the reversal of the situation there i- feed for reflection, even though the inversion of circumstances Is net sufficiently exact te serve the pur pur pespn of retributive Iren. There are trustworthy indications that this treaty tale is going te end right nfter the ether Powers have duly exercised their privileges of deliberation. ' China alone of the signatory foreign nations hns accel erated its legislative machinery by sanc tioning the nine-Power protective pact. The icmninlng Governments have been some what lethargic There Is new. however, welcome evidence that they are about te work toward a com mon goal The Conference treaties were placed before the French l'arllamajf' j ester day. Battalions of death nre nerWghted In thnt body, but It is considered likely that the principle of reservations will be Invoked. A reservation similar te the one offered by Senater Brnndcgee and adopted by the Senate In anticipated in connection with the Naval Treaty, and it is hinted that the Reet resolution bnrring the use of subma rines against merchantmen will be enlarged te Include nn exnet definition of thnt class of ship. Four or five weeks nre expected te be consumed in reaching n vote. Great Britain, it is snld. may be con tent with the King's signature en one of the incidental bills necessury In England for carrvlnc out the terms of the agree ments. What passes as equivalent te treaty ratification in Britain will doubtless be ac cepted In the same spirit by the I'nitcd States. Ministerial upsets in Italy have been in terfering with prompt action en the treaties. It is reported from Reme that the pacts will -een be presented te Parliament, and similar steps nre imminent in the Nether lands, ,Inpan anil Belgium. Reviewing the situation. Americans with memories cannot yet morally affeid te be vexed The foreign Powers have net rushed the treaties far from it hut thev have net ditched them, and there 1- scant likeli hood, in spite. f possible tinkering, that they will lepudiate the stabilizing of Pacific interests nnd thrpe firm safeguards for peace devised at Washington THE ORATIONS READ any of the memorial addres-es de livered vesterda In the I'nlted States and ou will find n familiar characteristic dominant in all of them. The orators dealt almost invariably and sometimes even nobly with the past. Little wns snld about the future because, apparent!, little Is thought of It The past 1- fixed It 1- justified. There can be no question about it and no eontre-ver-j . It lequires no special talent, no special knowledge te speak of it with au thority The meaning of an historic event i- alwa.vs clear In a long backward view. The dust has settled. Experience hns opened men's e.ves. But the justice nnd truth of which se much was said vesterday were net nlwn.vs c' early visible te hearten the gen erations that served America at the greatest cost te themselves. The men wi.v wrought our forms of government out of storm nnd saved them through fire often went lone lene lone semely through bewildering fogs nnd dis heartening c!amet It is easv te tnlk nobly of their noble accomplishment. Hut they were men who, lu their nun day, looked te the future rather than te the past. It is the future that matters nnd .of the future that we hheulcl think, if only te make it worthy of the past Yet It Is tee often the habit of politicians nnd statesmen te feel thnt the patriotism of the Wnshingtens nnd Lincelns was enough te serve America for nil time. The.v de net seem te knew thnt no man serves bis country who thinks only in terms of the present, that no principle i' adequate that is net formulated with a view te the honor and strength of the I'nitcd States of the far future. The past is safe.

AS ONE WOMAN SEES IT Disrespect for the Law Shown by Gang Politicians During the Elec tion Only Slightly Removed Frem the Meb Spirit lly SARAH I). LOWKII5 SOME of the recent election cxpcribnccs that crop up new and then in the ccurse of conversation nre worth remembering npnrt from their lurldncss. There is some thing ludicrous In their netunlly happen ing te ordinary comtnenplnce women In the "Innd of the free." In one of the southern wards of the city, spoken of lightly by its boss owners as "Darkest Africa," one of the sceuls sent out by the Pinchot forces te sec hew things were going found the street where the voting wns in progress plastered with Alter pictures nnd no sign of these of his Repub lican opponent. Knewing n woman en the block, she hunted her tit In n house that fairly bristled with Alters. "Has no one been here te tnlk Pinchot today?" wits her question te the woman who answered her ring. The woman looked cau tiously around nnd drew her into the nar row little hnllwny. "Ne one don't talk anything but Alter In this street or he loses his job. And no one don't talk Pinchot or his life nin't safe round here. And If my husband nin't kept the windows stuffed with these here cam paign pictures mere than him in this house would pay for it. Hut " nnd here she drew her visitor yet further into the house "that nin't hindered me from working for the ether man." And she drew from her capacious besom a sheet of lined paper considerably crumpled en which were written in every kind of writing the names of ever sixty women who were doing no talking, but were secretly pledged te vote "for the ether man." PERHAPS in mere than one of these ad mirably boss-ridden streets there were ether such lists held plensurnbly in like re tired places, let the picture of Alter smile forth as lie might from the front windows. Anether colored woman told mc In speak ing of one of her race who hns long been held in high esteem by the lenders of her wnrd : "She told these men she could deliver us nnd all our votes, nnd they believed her. I don't knew what they gave her. But as for delivering our rotes, no, mn'ninl Carry ing wnter in ft sieve would n been easier thnn enrrying nil the women of her di vision wns when the time came. Ne, mn'am, when word get nbeut thnt she had sold our vote we just nnturly laughed. She ain't nepulnr with us. that woman! White folks like her, but she ain't popular with us. We just stayed nwny from home, working all day nnd lested her our vote." One of the vigllnntcs sent from the Repub lican women's headquarters te sec that the laws were respected outside the polling place in a certain division precinct where the voting was going en against (he law in n private house, from which the owner threat ened te expel these net voting ns he elected that they should, reported that toward the lete afternoon he descended upon her and threatened te cull the police. "I've been intimidated all day by yeu'uns," he barked, "an' I'll have you stepped!" The policeman at the corner enme a step or two in answer te his bellow for nid, paused, gnzed t the smallish lady bidding ber ground with n determined grin, smiled sheepishly nnd barked te his corner with n shake of his head. THE curious thing nbeut it was thnt though she was right ns n trivet about her stand, it wns net her "Tightness" thnt held that barking owner of the polls in leash all da j intimidated instead of In timidating. It was that she had learned the nrt of ruling from the experiences of a life time, nnd for thnt time, at least, she could use It te his disadvantage. One cannot count en that, or. Indeed, en being right, te intimidate" the lawless if there Is the di ill nnd plan of u piecencerted nttack en feet. Then men back men until n whole crowd Is swept by the mob spirit, and right nnd justice and decency for the time go down under the onrush. I cut a story out of the Les Angeles Dally Times this spring as I metered through, a story of n Texas preacher who had his hair clipped b.v it mob of children while the Sheriff looked en.

Roberts, who hns made n careful study of the subject for years nnd who is chairman of the Geed Reads Committee of the C'nnmber of Com merce. "It is the dutv of every citizen of Phila delphia." said Mr. Roberts, "te assist in whatever manner he con the movement te further ensv nccess both te nnd from our citv. Following this theory, we huve been In constant communication with the commer cial organizations of nil the neighboring towns. Pp te the present time no dehnlte plan has crystallized, but we are co-operating with the several municipalities near us with the view of having as much of the Htnte appropriation for reads as we can possibly get spent In this vicinity. Geed City Streets Imperative "But geed streets In the city are equally Imperative. In Philadelphia we have kept in dose touch with the city departments and with Council with the view of having these streets which nre In obviously peer condi tion put in geed order. Personal investiga tion has shown that there is n very well conceived plan te concentrate the present npproprlatlen upon thoroughfares, and when these plans nre completed the indications are that we shall have nn exceedingly well paved citv. I understand thnt there is still nbeut SSiOOO.OOO of the Inst appropriation unused, but which will probably nil be used by August 1. One of the fentures of the Investigation has been ns te hew heavy truck traffic can best be moved from Bread street te streets enst nnd west. "One fenture of the Htv pnving which calls for verv prompt nnd Intelligent action Is the co-erdinated work between the city nnd the Phllndelnhia Rapid Transit Com pany.

The condition of n city's streets with respect te the paving, as well ns the benutv and appropriateness of Its buildings, carries a great, if often unconscious, weight with the visitors te that city, especially nt n time such as a great exposition, when there is an unusual amount of riding around the streets by strangers te see the city. Therefore, this matter of substantial pnving cnnuld be given immediate attention, for th?r is much work te be done before the opening of the Sesqui-Centennlal. "Anether question Is what part of the funds paid b.v the Philadelphia owners of motercnrH Is expended for Improvements en the city Btreets?

Geed reads are one of the best possible invest ments for nny Stnte, and they are new mere than ever necessary. "This necessity has been brought nbeut principally by the enormous Increase In automobile truckage, which is cheaper nnd, for short hauls, mere expeditious than any ether manner of conveyance.

A survey of the Inrge cities of the country shows thnt S8 per cent of all the pnving in they cities Is of these three kinds. Asphalt leads with ,"5 per cent, brick Is next with II) per cent nnd stone block third with II per cent. A National Matter "Read-building hns become a national mnlter, and every Stale in the Union new realizes Its importance. Our national chair man of the Bureau of Public Rends Is new meeting witli the highway officials of a num ber of the largest Eastern States and to gether the.v are considering the stnndnrdi zatinn of certain fentures of read-building specifications with the view of obtaining permnnetuv with ns much economy In con cen "t ruction as mav be compatible with the long life of the reads and of the repairs made en them. The plan will be, where practicable, te have one factory make the same kind of nintnilal for reads In several nenrby States, "There has been be.vend doubt in the past n let of unnecessary and in the end wasteful expenditure en the read repairs of many of Ibe States. One of the most fruitful onuses ler Ibis has been the custom of using nn old read ns the basis for the foundation of the new one. The reason why this has se often resulted disastrously is becniise of ever-estimation ns te the thickness of the old read. Toe frequently an expensive new read hns been laid ever en old read nctunllv three Inches in depth, where the estimated thickness was net less than six te eight Inches. "Macadam nnd gravel toads wear rapidly in comparison with ether types of reads, and because the records show that n large ton nage of rend material has been used lu con struction and maintenance, it does net fol fel low that most of such mnterlal is still en the rend. Therefore it is very essential te nsceitnln exactly the thickness of the old read befern using it ns the foundation for a new one. "Our ultimnte Idea Is te get the reads In nnd nut of Philadelphia, as well ns the citv streets. In perfect condition, nnd this cn'n only be obtained by securing the highest tpe of construction nnd repair work." 1 THE MINSTREL "TlrlN.STREL, minstrel, what de veti Xix sing of.
