Vare's Senate Seat
Leaning heavily against a desk to keep himself from
falling to the floor, his paralyzed arm stuck in his trousers
pocket, William S. Vare of Pennsylvania staged a dramatic
scene in the Senate Wednesday when in an impassioned plea
he demanded the seat to which he was elected three years ago.
In a high-pitched and almost feeble voice the semi-invalid
read a 2,000 word speech with obviously difficulty, in which
he struck boldly at his accusers, pausing at the conclusion of
v each sheet to use his only available hand to pick up the next
one. He admitted spending much money in his primary cam
paign but contended many senators had spent more than 54
cents a vote in their election.
There seems no indication that Vare's pathetic appeal
made any difference with the line-up in the Senate, for
the castigation of his corruption of the electorate and of the
"Vare machine" which Senator Norris declared "has throt
tled the people of Pennsylvania and dominated the voters so
they vote in alphabetical order" including the dead, contin
ued. Last February the special Senate committee reported
that Vare should be disbarred for fraud and corruption at
primaries and election.
The Senate committee on elections, by a strictly party
vote, has decided against the contest filed by William B. Wil
son, who opposed Vare in the election and carried the state,
outside the machine bossed cities of Philadelphia and Pitts
burgh by 50,000, only to be counted out by 173,500. The com
mittee did not decide the contest in the judicial spirit intend
ed by the Constitution, but on partisan grounds- Such
contests should be left to the courts for as Tom Reed said
"Congress never divides on strictly partisan lines, except
when acting judicially.
The Senate in all probability will deny Vare his seat,
but whether it will reject the report of its committee and
neat Wilson is doubtful, although the attacks made by
Heed, Grundy and the "Old Guard" upon the Progressive-
Democratic coalition render it a possibility.
"Canada's Mailed Fist"
Many of the large eastern newspapers are excited
over the action of the Canadian government in requiring the
Canadian newsprint mills to establish as a fair price ?00
a ton, as against $55 now prevailing. As the mills utilize
Crown timber, they have no alternative but to comply. So
the big pub;ishcrs who view it with alarm have called a
meeting to discuss what is to be done to meet the situation
and talk about curtailing the size of their blanket sheets in
retaliation.
A sample of editorial indignation is taken from the St,
Louis Star which declares under the caption "Canada's
mailed fist strikes" that "the attempt to cure a tremendous
over-produition of newsprint by an artificially created ex
orbitant price is an economic monstrosity.
Perhaps, but it is no more of an economic monstrosity
than our own attempts to cure over-production by excessive
protective tariffs and direct subsidies. It is no harder on
the American public to have to pay more for newsprint, than
it is on Canada's public to be denied markets, for their own
products, or on Americans themselves to have to pay higher
costs of living for the profit of our own industries.
It all depends whose ox is gored. Is not all of our pa
ternalistic statesmanship merely effort to artificially set
aside the law of supply and demand? What is the half bil
lion farm relief fund, the tariff and agricultural embargoes,
the shipping and other subsidies, but attempts to artificially
create exorbitant prices?
Canada is simply following in our footsteps. And if it
results in reducing the size of inflated commercialized metro
politan papers, which are so bulky that they defeat their
purpose and have to be filled with twaddle and bunk, Canada
will be doing a favor to the American public.
An Explorer Balks
Commenting upon Commander Hyrd's South Pole expe
dition, Major Tygtove Gran, the explorer who accompanied
Captain Itobert Scott on his tragic south polar expedition in
1910. declares the venture is misleading because it is
"speculating in sensations." He continues:
The American way of arctic exploration makra It no longer an honor
to be an arctic explorer. They do not need scientltl? experience and years
of preparation. They are explorers as soon as sulllclent money Is col
lected. Major Gran, while admitting the liossiliility that Com
mander liyrd has been above the South Pole, declares the
polar region mountains he reported a "fantasy", and that
there had been some mistake cither in the telegraphic re
port or in the stylistic manner of its comiwsition. While
there are mountain ranges 250 miles from the pole and "it
is possible that farther south giant mountains are to be
found between the routes followed by Captain Scott and
Jioald Amundsen, respectively, it is certain that farther south
from 88 degrees there are no mountainous formations to be
found in the great tableland."
Major Gran also thinks it curious that after 17 years,
Byrd should be able to observe from the air traces of the
camps of Amundson and Scott, when the huts were built of
enow and "snow crumbles away."
The Norwegian explorer does not comprehend the true
spirit of American exploration. It is a commercialized in
stitution, devised for publicity and advertising. The indus
tries supplying the gas, the radios, the food and other sup
plies, as well as the newspapers controlling the publicity, feel
.that they are entitled to their money's worth and are
merely seeking to get it
As to tho long winded copyrighted syndicated descrip
tion of adventures, trivial and otherwise, they are merely
the products of hack-writers in metropolitan newspaper
offices far from the scent; just as the Lindbergh flight
stories were. To make them readable, they have to "speculate
in sensations" real or imaginary that is what the public
wants.
The real records of polar expeditions are about as color
less and monotonous reading as it is possible to find so the
g-host writers are merely pepping it up to sell newspapers- .

CHARITY TAX
HELD INJUSTICE
TO TAXPAYERS
"I am not so sure that an equi
table plan could be worked out as
.tessing funds for all public charity
Maintt taxpayers as suggested by
Harry Levy, president of the Ao
c:ated Charities." stated County
Commissioner Smith Thursday.
"Of course it sounds like a logi
cal proposition tha ceveryone
should pay his share toward thU
public duty like all other public
expenses and we have our county
poor fund which takes care of a
great share, probably the largest
share of indigent cases.
"But it must be bome tn mind
that in assessing taxes it strikes
all property owners alike, rich and
poor. And in many cases taxes are
paid by poor people, people Just as
poor as those who are being aided
by the taxes raised. But these peo
ny marb on a IiM natch
of land, a few chickens, or a cow
and have Just enough resources to
hold body and soul together are
too proud to ask for help from
charitable sources. But every dol
lar that Is asked from them for re
lief of the poor is an added bur
den on those people just as poor
as the people they pay taxes to
assist.
So these extra burdens would
fall heavily on people who are now
burdened about as far as they can
stand It.
"No. these extra agencies are a
fine thing because they secure
money from the benevolent well-to-do
who can afford to help and
do not reach down into the pockets
of the very poor who- however,
stand on their own feet and re
fuse aid when they can struzgle
through and maintain themselves
some wuy.
A fine work is being done by
these charitable people in the var
ious gaencies, awcla&s of work which
It Is hard for us to do."
Bllverton "Grandma" Long acre of
Liberty Hill, who has been in some
what of a precarious condition for
some time because of several hem
orrhages of the head, is now much
