They are after him again--the they' being the Roosevelters and the being Champ Clark. They are bound to "get something on him" some time if they try long enough and he makes the opportunity, but thus far they have achieved nothing but a record of failures. A new charge against him is that he refused to vote for or against the free sugar bill and that he voted against the recommitment of the measure and then surreptitiously had his rote excluded from the The Speaker is now occupying that unfortunate and peculiar position in which he'll be damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. That is literally the truth, and it exposes one of the failings of the journals that denounce others that do not agree with them stories and drabs. It is of a piece with the recently circulated story that Mr.

Clark said that passage of the reciprocity bill would bring about the annexation of Canada, or words to that effect. When the Sherwood dollar-a-day-pension bill was on final passage in the House Speaker Clark voted for it. For loing so he was hooted and denounced political opponents. It was said that he supported it for political effect; that a Speaker is expected to vote only when there is a tie; that he should not vote except when a tie is to be broken. Now he is denounced for neglecting or refusing to vote.

In the minds of his detractors, whatever he does is wrong. But Speaker Clark took the wind out of their sails yesterday by taking the floor and openly demanding the correction of the record so that it would be shown that he voted against recommitment and for the passage of the bill. That act in itself disposes of every allegation that he was afraid to vote for the measure lest he lose Demoeratie support of his Presidential candidaey and delegates in the sugar States. In the meanwhile the Speaker's list of delegates is growing. As for the criticisms--well, the critics are not Democrats, so it doesn't really matter what they say.

WORTH A TRIAL. Speaking of the proposal to extend the provisions of the Erdman arbitration act to the settlement of labor troubles in the coal industry, the New York World' says: arbifration may be a futile or impracticable thing, but so much of it would be provided by this extension of the Federal Railroad Arbitration act might be worth a Anything that promises desired results is worth a trial. If the extension of the Erdman aet will do the work, by all means let it be extended. It can do no harm, and it might do a great deal of good. Anything that would relieve the situation and make easier the prevention or settlement of labor troubles, with justice to all the persons and parties concerned, would be very good indeed.

That is why it seems only reasonable to predict that eventually the country must adopt compulsory arbitration. And that is why it is greatly to be regretted that a proposal for the adoption of this solution goes no farther than the objections that it might be futile or it might be impracticable. Such objections are based on theories. Before Columbus sailed into the unknown west it was proved that the earth was flat and that he could not find another land by sailing in that direction. It was proved that locomotives could not be put to practical use.

Why, then, should the country stop at objectious that may be more fanciful than those we have named? We only know that the possibilities of compulsory arbitration cannot be ascertained until the plan has been given an honest trial. EMIGRATION FROM IRELAND. That is a peculiar plea which the Council of Dublin' has sent to President Taft. Alarmed at the continuous emigration to the United States, the Council asks the President to enforce the immigration laws in order that the further depopulation of Ireland may be prevented. It says that in the last sixty-five years Ireland has lost nearly half its population, and the obliteration of the Irish nation is threatened, by and abnormal The "Council will find few people, in the United States to agree with it.

Emigration from Ireland- was, indeed, abnormal in the time mentioned. That was not because the Irish people wanted to leave home, for they love their country as passionately as any other people love theirs, but because conditions of living had become bad. Great Britain almost destroyed Irish industries, the absentee landlords withdrew vast tracts of land from cultivation, the rural communities found it difficult to make a living that was better than hall starvation, rents for patches of ground called farms, and huts called houses, were extortionate, and crop failures and epidemics of disease were common. The Irish people came to this country to better their condition, and they did better it. President Taft cannot exclude Irish immigrants unless they violate the immigration laws.

They cannot be discriminated against. They make good and industrious citizens, and they have fought for their adopted country on many a bloody battlefield. No President would turn newcomers back if he could. Great Britain's savage and short-sighted policy helped to drive them to this country, where they will always be welcome. She has the remedy in her own hands.

Let her make conditions of living in Ireland so very desirable that all the Irish people will want to return. POLITICAL FREEDOM. The people of this country have not lost anything which they 1 have not given away. If there is any loss of popular government or of political freedom, they are to blame. There is no of any revolution or of any reneed organization of society to bring it back.

The test of citizenship is at the fountainhead of political freedom, at the polls, where every citizen is as strong and as powerful as any other. Ordinarily no man can command any vote but his own, unless those whose votes he controls are indifferent, negligent, venal, or weak. The indifferent citizen, if he goes to the polls at all, can be persuaded to vote for anybody or any policy, for he does not feel interested in the outcome. The negligent man, who may feel some slight interest in the success of his party, does not inform himself as to the merits of rival candidates or policies. He votes without knowledge.

The venal elector sells his vote to the highest bidder. Men and principles are nothing to him; he has no principles of his own and is incapable of appreciating them in other men. He is found in almost every election district in the land. To him an election is much like a vendue. The weak man may and often dons have convictions, and he has preferences among the candidates, but he can be managed easily by a bully of politics or a coercing employer, and bulldozed into voting against his choice and the dictates of his conscience.

These four kinds of voters have deprived the people of any popular. government or political freedom that has disappeared. is net responsible for the loss. There are capitalists who have bought elections, and labor leaders who have controlled votes, and in the last analysis ore outfit was not worse than the other. But it is a grievous mistake to say that all capitalists and all labor leaders and a all workingmen are bad.

There are many employers who, although are intensely partisan in their politics, have never asked their employes to vote for any candidate, much less compelled them to; and there are labor leaders who have spurned offers of money for their influence in political campaigns and elections. If the people would regain lost freedom, let them vote for themselves and their interests, after they shall have learned something about those interests. It has taken them forty years to learn that high tariff is a fraud and an instrument wherewith "special take money out of their purses, and they did not learn even that thoroughly, them until the while Lawrence manufacturers strike that pretended that the tariff was for the benefit of American workingmen, the BACKACHE IS -C DANGER SIGNAL Kidney Troubles, Bladder Disorders, Rheumatism and Serious Diseases Follow. There are other symptoms, such as pains in the region of the kidneys, nervousness, dizziness, tired and wornout feeling, weak bladder, painful, scaldy, or urinary troubles, which are just as dangerous, for the slightest kidney derangement if neglected may develop into the deadly Bright's Disease, Dropsy, or Diabetes. It is not only dangerous, but needless, for you to suffer, and endure the tortures of these troubles, for the new discovery, Croxone, quickly and surely ends all such misery.

There is no more effective remedy known for the permanent cure of all forms of kidney, bladder trouble, and rheumatism, than this new scientific preparation, because it removes the cause. It soaks right into the kidneys, through the walls and linings, cleans the clogged-up pores; neutralizes and dissolves the poisonous urie acid and waste that lodge in the joints and and cause those matteres terrible rheumatic pains, and makes the kidneys filter the poison from the blood and drives it out of the system. Three doses of Croxone a day, for a few days, is often all that is ever needed cure the worst backache or overcome disagreeable urinary disorders, and vou can take it with the utmost confidence that nothing on earth will so quickly cure the worst case of kidney, bladder trouble, or rheumatism. You will find Croxone different from all other remedies. There is nothing else like it.

It is so prepared that it is practically impossible to take it into the human system without results. An original package costa a trifle at any firstciass drug store. All druggists are authorized to personally return the purchase price if Croxone should fail in a single case. Spring Humors Come to most people and cause many troubles -pimples, boils and other eruptions, besides loss of appetite, tired feeling, biliousness, indigestion and headache.

There will be no need to talk about political freedom when the people get political education. It is well that the city tax rate is not to be raised, although appropriations for the year will be ten thousands dollars in excess of those for last year. If the tax rate were increased the people would have to take to the woods.

A report from Scranton says that the miners are willing to meet the operators half way in order to prevent a strike. What is their half! The Central Democratic Club of this city bad a unique St. Patrick's Day celebration last evening, when all the singing and speechmaking was in German. Never was there greater harmony than that which bound the German Democrats and Irish Democrats last night. Factory Inspector Delaney has a well developed sense of the humorous, and he gave play to it in speaking about some of the ridiculous features of the drama' AS presented by the "movies." But why not let everybody continue to enjoy them! And now maybe they will say that Speaker Clark had his vote for the sugar bill recorded for political effect.

In his first message to the Legislature Governor Hunt, of Arizona, recommends that it adopt an amendment to the Constitution, to provide for the recall of Judges. Arizona could not help herself when she was a territory, but now that she is a sovereign State she will do as she pleases about the recall. President Taft should have recognized and admitted that fact instead of delaying the admission of the new. State. EDITORIAL SNAPSHOTS.

The way they have of recalling the courts in the mountains of Southwestern Virginia is hardly what the 'Progressives" want, but was not heard of before the agitation of their radical proposition. It is not a debatable question whether the people are capable of self ernment, but whether they are best qualified to govern themselves only when excited by demagogic appeals to their prejudice and passions.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it, you consummate Radical! The Pennsylvania Federation of Labor very properly refused to endorse the would-be Third- Termer for the Presidency. Straw votes and tin horns don't count with the steady going members of that organization.

According to the "militant the present. government of the city schools should be far better than it was under former School Boards, the members of which were chosen by the electorate of each ward acting for itself, independently of other wards. But it seems that the militants are not satisfied with the change that has been made. Well, we are inclined to agree with them, at least to the extent of believing that the centralization of power in this instance has not worked satisfactorily.

Secretary Knox is certainly a very cautious diplomat and when threatened by perils in front and perils in the rear he chooses to face that which seems to be the least dangerous.
