THE DOWNFALL OF SENATOR
PENROSE.
Two senators, one a progressive,
the other Boles Penrose of Pennsyl
vania, travelled on the same train
from Washington to Chicago to at
tend the Republcian national conven
tion of 1912. They argued over
Roosevelt.
'Senator,' said the progressive,
you well know that he Is the cholc
.f a large majority of the party,
nd that on an honest count he has
the convention by from 40 to 60
majority. I warn you that if he
is robbed of his victory by steam rol
ler methods his victory wil split the
party wtdo open."
"All right," answered Penrose, "we
might as well scuttle the ship ana
drown the rats.''
Ho scuttled the ship, but he did
not drown the 'rats.' The old puard
came nearer irownlng themselves.
Signs abound that the days of Pen
rose's bossism are over and that
Prpsiripnt-olart Harriin" la oaalHnw
counsel from party leaders who art
ciose to tne people and will not take
dictation from the Pensylvanta boss.
It will not help Senator Penrose to'
sneer as he did the othor day In an
interview on the subject of the coun
try's foreign policies,, xne people ar
turning against dictators, autocrats
and bosses. The day of Senator
Penrose's power has passed and he
has been made to know it since hb
arrived in Washington to take hi.
a 'at in the Senate. As the Wash
ington correspondent of The
Spokesman-Review telegraphs:
"His statement given oat this af
ternoon, announcing thai he haa
lelded gorund on the passaje oi
he emergency tariff bill only meant
that he had discovered that the far
mers' champions were in the saddle
acatn. He came here thinking him
self an Aldrich, competent to com
i.iaud and to have his word obeyed.
Three days, however, satisfied him
hat the powers which he assumed
v,-hen the republican party was not
in control of the senate were only
mythical. If he ever was a boss, as
Liduy decline to admit, he found that
all of his power had faded and new
leaders had supplanted him."
Mr. Harding is too sagacious and
conscientious to take dictation from
men like Senator Penrose. n,
wisely sees that his unprecedented
popular plurality of 7,000.000 votes
lays upon him a solemn obligation to
serve the American people, to take
counsel from unselfish sources and
to restore the government to the ways
of genuine democracy. Spokesman

HARDING OBJECTS TO INAUGUR
AL DISPXiAY.
President-elect Harding's objec
tion to inaugural display and extra
vagance is characteristic of his sim
ple tastes, freedom from ostentation
and desire to set a helpful example
to the nation. He well says that
"it is timely and wholesome to prac
tice the utter denial of public ex
penditures where there Is no real
neceslsty, and it will be a wholesome
example of economy and thrift if we
