SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 6
IN PENNSYLVANIA
A MILLION dollars a month is
what the pig iron industry in
this country is losing, according
to the report of John A. Penton,
of Cleveland, secretary of the Ameri
can Pig Iron Association. Many fur
naces have shut down, he says, and
plants are in the hands of receivers.
Thousands of employes have suffered
a cut in wages due to this condition
and more reductions are to follow.
"We have now confronting us one
moro hardship," says Mr. Penton, in
his report, "in the shape of the knowl
edge that foreign countries, owing to
the abolition of our tariff and because
of their lower cost of production are
going to be able to ship, and are
even right now shipping and arranging
to ship, quantities of foreign pig iron
Into our country when the whole in
dustry here is operating at a loss of
millions of dollars a month."
The pig iron industry i 3 not the
only example of the effect of the
Democratic tariff law. Employers and
employes In industrial establishments
the country over are feeling the force
of a general depression. Readjust
ments made necessary by the new
tariff law have caused a general slow
ing down of business. Reports from
many industries indicate a business de
pression which has thrown thousands
of men out of employment.
That the unemployed are holding
the present Democratic administration
responsible for present conditions is
eliown by the overwhelming Republi
can victory in the seventh New Jersey
Congressional District, not long ago.
In that district, Republicans made the
tariff the issue and the Democrats ac
cepted it. Evidently the unemployed
of that district hold President Wilson
nnd the administration's supporters
responsible for bad industrial condi
tions, for the President's popularity in
his home State could not withstand
opposition to the administration's
policies.
Jl nd that is the issue on which the
Coming battle in Pennsylvania will be
fought.
In the Senate yesterday Senator
Heed, hailing from the largely agri
cultural State of Missouri, said:
The Democratic party seems to
me to be In this situation at the
present time. If it passes a bill
restoring confidence to the financial
situation and tile stock market re
sponds and shows Improvement the
gentlemen on the other side of the
aisle rise up and roll their eves
nnd froth at the mouth in a line
frenzy and declare that it has sur
rendered itself to the great finan
cial interests. But if a trust or
other combination sets up a wail
we are immediately denounced as
enemies of all legitimate business.
Will the Senator please quote for
©ur own benefit one law generally
beneficial to legitimate business that
the Democrats have enacted since
President Wilson took office? W r ill he
tell us how the Democrats have bene
fited the country by the passage of a
tariff law which has cut the props
from beneath our Industries and un
der the provisions of which prices of
household stuffs have continued to ad
vance? Does the Senator object be
cause workmen complain when Demo
cratic legislation has thrown them out
of work?
Or does he expect us to smile under
the lash and applaud the man who
cracks the whip?
We don't know what the people of
Missouri may think about it, but in
overwhelmingly Republican Pennsyl
vania next Fall the Wilson administra
tion is going to get a line on public
eentiment that it is hoped will knock
eome sense into its perverse and stub
born head.
BACKYARDS AND FIRES

dening beyond the transforma
tion of unsightly premises Into

Bays that the city that boasts of back-
Sard gardens has fewer fires than the
town in which the rear lots are given
ever to the garbage can, the ashpile,

SATURDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH JUNE 6, 1914.
THE ANGELS OF REFORM
PALMER - McCORMICK machine
is in trouble at Wilkes-Barre.
The Record, always fair in po
litical matters, charges the local
end of the reorganisation machine
with deliberately maneuvering 'to
cheat the anti-machine candidate for
the State committee out of his certifi
cate. The Record says:
The gang and its satellites have
stooped to everything disreputable
to save something out of the wreck,
but have been defeated at every
turn. And now the question is, who
stuffed the ballot box after the
vote was counted? Will this crime
go unpunished? Will the gangsters
probe this evident fraud and get its
friends in trouble, or "lay down?"
Let us wait and see.
And this by the angels of reform!
PERSONAL ECONOMY
WITH hard times knocking at
the door, many are now em
barrassed by inability to
meet current expenses. To
thousands of people loss of work
means immediate suffering and the
accumulation of bills that prove
handicaps for months, if not years, to
follow. Personal economies now en
forced should to a less extensive de
gree be made permanent.
If you doubt that the nation needs
such a new birth of thrift consider
these facts:
We spend $8,400,000 a year for clg
arets.
We drank 70,000,000 gallons of
whisky last year.
We chew up over $25,000,000 worth
of chewing gum annually.
Last year the American people paid
out $90,000,000 for candy.
These figures and many more like
them are the measure of what is
largely popular extravagance.
We could do without a very large
part of the things represented by those
enormous figures, and be just as well
off —yes, a great deal better off.
But it would be useless, if it were
possible, to shut off such foolish ex
penditures suddenly unless the money
so saved by individuals were put to
good use either by the savers them
selves or by the bank in which they
deposit the money.
This brings up the point which is so
often raised by persons who fail to
see any economic good in saving.
They say that the spendthrift gives
employment to others and that his
money gets into the bank eventually
even if he deposits none of it there
himself.
That is all very true, but how much
better it is to have the money used
constructively in ways which mean
i sobriety, industry, h6me ownership,
integrity, good citizenship and educa
tion of children. Saving just for the
sake of saving is not advocated,
j Thoughtful, purposeful saving is the
thing.
Genuine, constructive thrift has an
important bearing upon industrial and
national progress as well as upon the
material success of the individual.
Here are a few examples of what
is meant by constructive thrift:
The invention of the engine burning
oil instead of coal.
Intensive cultivation of land as con
ducted by a Maryland family that
makes SIO,OOO a year from twenty
acres of flowers and vegetables.
The school, back yard and vacant
lot gardens, which help lower the cost
of living.
Applying the principles of thrift to
methods of bricklaying by cutting out
superfluous motions, as was done by F.
B. Gilbreth.
The new "scientific management" of
business generally, including the es
tablishment of bureaus of standards
by municipalities to save the people's
money in buying supplies for public
use.
Irrigation and other conservation
projects as conducted by the govern
ment.
A LEGEND
A MEDIAEVAL general who was
forced to flee from the enemy
passed through a little village
and saw a tea house and he
said: "Well, a man can die only once,
and I must have a cup of tea." So he
sat in the shade and cool of the tea
house and sipped his tea and when
he had finished, said: "Well, I almost
hear the enemy's footsteps as they
come, but I think I will have a sec
ond cup," and even that did not sat
isfy him, for he said: "If lam to die,
I will die at any rate at peace, so I
will have a third cup," and as he sat
and drank his third cup of tea, calmly
and quietly in the shade of the tea
house, the enemy rushed by and he
was saved!"
Even so does Opportunity—often
spelling her name with a capital O—
go rushing by the cool corridors of
the cafe in which the young man sits
languidly over the glass.
The moral of which is,—Don't stop
unless you wish somebody to pass
you.
WHERE OUR GOLD IS GOING
THE National Foreign Trade Con
vention, representing a hundred
leading commercial and indus
trial organizations of the coun
try, has just come to a close in the
National Capital. This suggests a
timely inquiry:
Which side of the foreign trade
ledger is America going to be on—
the credit or the debit side? For years,
under a Republican protective tariff
law, the United States has been on the
credit side, with plenty of gold piling
up in our vaults instead of in foreign
banks.
But now!
Reports show that America is send
ing a great deal of gold across the
seas. Whether this gold is going to
pay for the heavy Imports under the
Democratic tariff law, we must, with
perfect fairness, say is yet to be seen.
But this is true right now: We have
plenty of gold here in America and
the reason we have plenty of gold is
because we have been selling Amer
ican-made goods to Europe and tak
ing their money for It. Now, under
the Wilson tariff, we are buying for
eign goods and paying for them in
American gold. And, with the tariff
as it has been fixed by the Demo
cratic party, we can no longer expect
to concel the charges for American
made goods.
Lincoln said: "I do not know about
the tariff, but I know that if you buy
a ton of steel rails abroad you have
the rails and the foreigner has the
money; if you make a ton of rails
here, you have both the rails and the
money."
So, while we are talking about ex
tending our foreign trade, we may ex
pect to hear further reports that our
gold is being shipped to Europe. When
we hear these reports, perhaps it will
be just as well to bear these facts In
mind.
1 EVENING CHAT 1
Without making much fuss about it
the State's Public Service Commission
has been accomplishing a tremendous
amount of work and while it has not
rendered any momentous decisions yet
the number and diversity of the cases
piled up—and piling up—for the com
mission is something worth noting.
When the commission was formed it
was thought by some unfamiliar with
the act that there would not be much
more than the recent State Railroad
Commission was called upon to han
dle. However, those "in the know,"
as they say on Capitol Hill, just wait
ed until things got started. Now they
have started and the dockets of the
commission are full of business of
every kind and the demands on the
commissioners are such as to keep
them occupied practically aU of the
time. This week the commission has
held five big hearings, not ordinary
small cases, but real big ones involving
enormous interests, and about a dozen
small hearings. The commission has
been in session all day and most of
the evenings since Tuesday morning
at 11. Monday it spent in Philadel
phia visiting the proposed grade cross
ing abolition work and last week the
members were out on inspections and
hearings and there are more to come
this week with slim prospects of va
cation ahead. Just to show the kind
of cases handed to the commission to
settle it may bo cited that the State,
the city of Newcastle, the railroads and
other corporations were unable to
agree about apportionment of the cost
ol' a bridge in that city So the Board
of Public Grounds and Buildings pass
ed it on to the Public Service Com
mission.
Some people have an idea that the 1
offices of officials on Capitol Hill are
meant for the Instant transmission of
information on everything from kill
ing waterbugs in a kitchen to making
a drunken foreigner put his. cornet
away and go to sleep. The other day
a man who had called half a dozen
officers and pestered the Capitol tele
phone exchange secured a connection
with a telephone in one of the finan
cial departments. A wag happened to
be near and seeing the amazement on
the face of the man who received an
agricultural problem of large dimen
sions, asked permission to answer it.
He was handed the telephone with
some misgivings. But he rose to the
occasion and said with the utmost
gravity. "Please write your troubles
and mail them to Pouch A." It might
be added that the pouch is that which
receives the mail for the State hos
pital.
District Attorney Michael E. Stroup
has not forgotten his football days and
how he used to circle the end at
Franklin and Marshall. He was much
interested in the Kunkel campaign
and when things got hot he announced
that he was going to form a "flying
wedge" on a county. When the re
turns came in it was found that he
had "broken the line" of a combina
tion and aided materially in carrying
the county for Kunkel.
Governor Tener has almost com
pletely recovered from his recent in
jury to his back and has been able
to walk good long distances and to
indulge in his customary exercise. The
Governor hopes to be able to play
golf with his customary ginger in a
short time. To-day he was in Pitts
burgh for the first time in three weeks
and will jump from this city to State
College and then to New York and
Philadelphia and back again to Har
risburg from Monday to Thursday.
The commission which has had
charge of the formal transfer of the
battleflags has had its own troubles
with the picking of the men to bear
the flags, but one of the funniest inci
dents was when a man wrote to one
of the officials protesting against the
selection of another man. He was
told that the choice had been made by
regimental officers in the absence of
an association, but fired back that he
and a neighbor had formed an asso
ciation and proposed to be recognized.
In another instance i\ man who was
president of an association of a regi
ment's survivors found that a man in
another part of the State claimed to
be holder of the same office. The
commission left them to untie the
knot.
Francis H. Bohlen, secretary of the
State Industrial Accidents Commis
sion and well known in this city as an
authority on the law of damages, has
sailed for Sweden with Mrs. Bohlen
on a visit to Mrs. Bolilen's parents.
While abroad Mr. Bohlen will continue
his investigations and then make a
tour of Germany and France.
Among visitors to the city this week
was Helnrich Buch, of "Alt Berks."
Mr. Buch was a regular attendant at
State conventions and political gath
erings and to show his acceptance of
the new order of things attended all
three big State committee meetings
impartially. He only tried to make a
speech at one.

Ten nominations for member of the

determined by the drawing of lots in
the department of the Secretary of the

when the complete returns from Phila
delphia, Allegheny and LUzerne coun
ties are in hand there will be more
to decide. Under the law all persons
for whom tie votes have been cast for
nominations which are certified to the
Capitol are required to be notified to
appear eighteen days after the election
and draw lots. They very rarely ap
pear and the lots are drawn by
officials.
The ties which were drawn resulted
in the selection of the following nomi

A number of ties for members o-f
Prohibition and Socialist state com
mittees, instances where two or more
men received one or two votes, are to
be drawn.

LAST LETTER BY JOHN BROWN
Martyr of Harper's Ferry Felt No Degradation Over
End on the Gallows in Cause of Humanity •
The little city of Tabor, lowa, was
once the temporary home of John
Brown, the emancipator, and he lb re
membered by the older citizens as a
most kindly man. Recently a lettei
written to the Rev. Luther Humphrej,
of New York, now long since dead, a
cousin of John Brown, lias come to
light, being in the possession of T. H.
Read of Shenandoah, a relative of
Brown. The letter is given to the pub
lic for the first time. It shows the
deep interest the abolitionist hero had
in freedom and his abiding faith in the
saving grace of God. The letter was
written thirteen days before John
Brown was hanged. It will be recalled
that he attacked Harper's Ferry Oc
tober 16, 1859, and that on October 18
he was captured, and tried on October
27 on the charge of treason and con
demned to hang December 2. It was
while he was awaiting execution that
he wrote the following letter to his
cousin:
Charlestown, Jefferson County, Va.,
November 19, 1859.
The Rev. Luther Humphrey:
My Dear Friend.—Your kind letter of
the 12th inst. is now before me. So
far as any knowledge goes as to our
mutual kindred, I suppose I am the
first since the landing of Peter Brown
from the Mayflower that has either
been sentenced to imprisonment or to
the gallows. But, my dear friend, let
not that fact alone grieve you. You
cannot have forgotten how and where
our grandfather. Captain John Brown,
fell in 1776, and that he. too, might
have perished on the scaffold had cir
cumstances been but very little differ
ent. The fact that a man dies under
the hand of an executioner or other
wise has but little to do with his true
character, as I suppose. John Rodgers
perished at the stake, a great and good
man, as I suppose, but his being so
does not prove that any other man
who has died in same way was good
or otherwise. Whether I have any
reason to "be of good cheer," or not,
In view of my end, 1 can assure vou
that I feel so, and that I am totally
blifitled If I do not really experience
that strengthening and consolation
you so faithfully implore in my behalf.
God of our fathers, reward your fidel
ity.
I neither feel mortified, (leg-railed,
nor In the least ash«med of mv Im
prisonment, my chain or of mv near
prospect of death by hanging. ' 1 feel
assured that not ome hair shall fall

CAN
By Wing Dinger
"Success comes In cans," reads a card
which I saw
In a business man's office to-day,
And I thought how important those
words to a man
As through life he is making his way.
The chap who's contented to sit 'round
and wait
For something to turn up, dear
knows,
Is likely to find to his sorrow, some
day.
That the something is Dame For
tune's nose.
And then there's the fellow who's down
in the dumps,
To everyone daily he cries
Because things won't go just to suit
him, but he
Never sticks to the thing that he
tries.
Just pick out a chap who's successful
in life,
And you'll find he's the kind of a man
Who takes up the work that confronts
him in life
And adopts as his watchword, "I can."
POLITICAL SIDELIGHTS
—As a student of history Roland S.
Morris probably recalls what hap
pened when triumvirates were formed.
—Wonder how Dauphin Democrats
like being rated at 30 cents per head.
—Apparently other newspapers do
not share the same admiration for
the handling of the State committee
as Is held in Market Square.
—The Central Democratic Club got
into the high brow class last night
when it discussed "Social Economy."
However, most Democrats prefer that
there shall not be any economy this
campaign, especially after the lavish
primary expenditure.
—The list of contributors to the
Palmer-McCormick campaign fund
will be interesting. It will enable
some computations to be made.
—Under the law contributions to
campaign committees must be set out.
—Democratic candidates no longer
reckon campaign expenses by hun
dreds. The thousand is now the mark.
—Dr. Brumbaugh will speak at Val
ley Forge on Flag Day.
—Ryan and McCormick men have
presented candidates for the fat Fed
eral jobs at Philadelphia. Wonder
who will get left?
—Roland S. Morris, however, is not
yet Attorney General.
THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM
AND WILSON POLICIES
[Philadelphia Press]
The Pennsylvania Democrats open
their campaign laden with the handi
cap of Wilson policies. Their platform
Indorses them all —the low tariff, the
income tax, the tolls repeal, tho Mexi
can policv and all the pending bills
which under the pretense of regulat
ing business have cast a paralytic
blight upon it. _ . .
Does anyone expect the State ot
Pennsylvania to approve these policies
under any possible conditions? And
yet this Democratic platform is a di
rect challenge to the voters of the
State to express a judgment on these
vital issues. It asks them to approve
policies which at the present time
have so depressed industry in the State
that f'o,ooo freight cars of the Penn
sylvania Railroad, one-third of Its
total number, are standing idle and
300 of its locomotives have nothing
from my head without my heavenly
Katlier knowing it. X also feel that I
have long been endeavoring to hold
exactly "such a part" as God has
chosen. See the passage in Isaiah,
which you have quoted. No part of
my life has been more happily spent
than that I have spent here and I
humbly trust that no part has been
spent for better purpose. I would not
say this boastingly, but "thanks unto
God, who glveth us the victory
through infinite grace." I should be
60 years old should I live to May 9,
1860. I have enjoyed much of life as it
Is, and have been remarkably pros
perous, having early learned to re
gard the welfare and prosperity of
others as my own. I have never, since
I can remember, required a great
amount of sleep, so that I conclude
I have already enjoyed full an average
number of waking hours with those
who reach their three score years
and ten.
I have not as yet been driven to the
use of glasses, but can still see to
read and write quite comfortably, but
more than that I have generally en
joyed remarkably good health. I might
go on to recount unmerited and un
numbered blessings, among which
would be some very severe afflictions,
and those the most needed blessing of
all. And now when I think how easily
I might be left to spoil all I have done
or suffered in the cause of freedom,
I hardly dare risk another voyage if
I even had the opportunity. It Is a
long time since we met, but we shall
now soon come together In "our
Father's house," I trust. Let us hold
fast that we already have, remem
bering that we shall l-Pap in due sea
son If we faint not. Thanks be unto
God who glveth us the victory
through Jesus Christ, our And
now. my old, warm-hearted friend,
good by. Your affectionate cousin.
JOHN BROWN.
