NOVEMBER 13, 1914. LOCAL OPTION WHILE the arbitrary and un reasonable course of the men In control of the Anti-Saloon League organization of Penn sylvania alienated many persons who were naturally in favor of the local option proposition, thero is one per son, and that person of all men the one who would be justified, perhaps, in showing resentment, who has stated to friends since the election that no cause that is right should suffer by reason of the foolishness of a few of Its supporters. That is the attitude of Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh, und he has made it clear that whatever may have been the unfair attitude of the little men who assumed to speak for the cause of local option in Pennsylvania, the measure should be passed and sub mitted to the people by the Legisla ture. He will do everything in his power to that end and while serious damage has been done through the failure of those charged with the con duct of the campaign for local option to elect members of the Legislature tavorable to the proposition, it is still the hope of those who have honestly urged the adoption of the local option measure that the Republican majority will determine that it is the proper thing and the right thing to enact the law, and allow the communities them selves to determine whether liquor shall be sold or not. Whatever happens, however, the friends of local option need have no fear that the Governor-elect will fail In any way to do his part in full measure toward the enactment of a local option law. It Is remarkable what widaspread confidence has developed throughout . the country since the election of last week. Republican success seems to have inspired renewed activity every where and in the industrial plants and manufacturing concerns all over Penn sylvania there is evidence of a more hopeful feeling that is displayed in preparation for better business. Im portant changes and improvements are rapidly going forward at the big plant of the Pennsylvania Steel Company, and this activity is believed to be pre liminary to better working conditions In the near future. A FISH DIET IN the event that quarantine of beef, sheep and hogs shall send meat prices soaring, Harrisburg might well turn its attention to fish. New York is doing it. Already a circular has been issued to the purchasing pub lic by the Mayor's food supply com mittee on the subject of fish. This circular will be distributed throughout the public schools In the city and is one of a series in a cam paign of education to teach children, and through theme their mothers, the value of various foodstufls and how to buy them. The habit of eating fish on one fixed day a week is, according lo the circular, foolish and deserves to be stopped. It points out that fish Is just as appetizing on Tuesdays or Thursdays as on Friday, and that this food is just as nourishing as lean meat and, if eaten with bread, potatoes and other vegetables, will supply all the needs of the body. In spite of the fact that New York has at its door a practically inexhausti ble fishing ground, hundreds of car loads of fish are constantly being sent from that city to other sections be cause of the fact that people living there do not appreciate the value of fish as a food and do not buy it as often as they should. With the cost of living going up, however, and the necessity of economy and scibntific purchasing making itself more strong ly fait, it is believed that New York may yet come to consume the food which is only waiting to be caught, end to become tho largest fish-oatlng city in the world. AVhat applies to New York applies with almost equal force to Harrisburg. We have the lakes to the North, the Atlantic ocean to the East and the bay to the South, not to mention our own neighborhood streams that are Just now yielding great quantities of eels and other fish. Fish are cheap here und good. Let's take a ieseon from New York. WELFARE CONFERENCE THERE is great interest through out the State in the approach ing industrial conference at the Capitol next week under the auspices of the Department of Labor and Industry and the Engineers' So ciety of Pennsylvania. Agitation for safety appliances and a more rational attitude toward the things which make for the welfare of the industrial FRIDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH NOVEMBER 13,1914. population has reached a point where employers all over the State are show ing a commendable Interest In the subjects that will be discussed at the approaching conference. Incidental to the program will be an industrial exhibit of safety appli ances and devices in which employers and employes are equally interested. The prime purpose of this confer ence and of all such conferences is an increase of efficiency with safety; the development of a better relation be tween the employer and employe. John Price Jackson, the head of this important department o'f the State, is thoroughly devoted to his work, and associated with him are a number of men equally concerned for the wel fare of the Industrial army of Penn sylvania. The public interest in the conference is so great that it is prob able the House of Representatives will be taxed to accommodate all who de sire to attend. Many of the promi nent employers and manufacturers of the State will be hero and technical questions will be considered by those competent to handle them in a popu lar way. Another thing which the Depart ment of Labor and Industry is achiev ing is uniformity In reports on acci dents. Co-operating with this depart ment are co-relative bureaus of the State, such as the Department of Mines and Mining and the Public Ser vice Commission. There has been a great loss of life through lack of proper precaution, and It is the effort of Dean Jack son's corps to reduce this waste to the minimum. It is his hope that the people of the State will in every way co-operate so that the department may reach the maximum of usefulness in bringing about a happier day, not only among the workers, but for the manufacturers and employers as well. Among the Interesting activities of j the closing days of the year Is the building of the new piers and the rein forcing of the old ones of the proposed double-track brldgo across tho river at Mulberry street. The engineers of the Cumberland Valley Railroad Company are showing unusual energy in pushing the work so that all the piers may be raised to the point where the work may be easily resumed during the early sprlngtlmo after the flood stage shall l have passed. A REGRETTABLE INCIDENT THE incident at Washington yes terday, involving hot words be tween President Wilson and the chairman of a negro delegation calling at the White House to protest against the segregation of races in the governmental departments, is re grettable for several reasons. First, that the chairman of the delegation so far forgot himself as to show dis respect for the President of tho United States, and second, that there should ever have been occasion for such an appeal as the colored men found It necessary to make. That the chairman of the protesting committee lost his temper and dis played anything but good manners is no more excusable than the discrimi nation shown at Washington against the colored men since the Democratic party assumed control. It will not do for the President to say the segre gation that has been going on since March 4, 1913, has no political sig nificance. Everything in the United States government that affects the rights or privileges_ of any citizen, black or white, is of importance po litically. And it is unquestionably true that in the postal department and the treasury depatrment, especially, ne groes have been ousted from positions they have filled acceptably for years or have been, crowded off by themselves into offices where the pay is less and tho work not so desirable. Ever since the Civil War white and colored employes of these departments have labored side by side without fric tion. It has been one of the bright spots in the outlook of the negro race in Ajnerica that the government of the United States did not recognize color as a bar to any office and that in Washington, at least, members of the race might rise through merit to po sitions of honor and decent pay. Yet no sooner did the administration change from Republican to Democratic than the Postmaster General and the Secretary of the Treasury announced that "segregation was necessary to avoid friction between the races, and not with the object of injuring the negroes." However we may feel on the race question, one and all, if we are at heart good Americans, we must acknowledge that this is not a government for any one race or color, but for all the people of this country, and that a Jim Crow administration of office is abhorrent to the very principles of the Consti tution. Every citizen ought to havt. full opportunity In fact as well as theory to serve the State as his natural abilities, inclinations and opportunities afford. No matter what has been said or will be said, the segregation rule at Washington was put into effect as a deliberate discrimination against the negroes. The Democratic administra tion is under the thumb of the South. The President himself is a Southerner. Washington reeks with the atmosphere of the South, which is naturally an tagonistic to the elevation of the negro, however much It may argue to the contrary. The Democratic party is in its every attribute and characteristic opposed to the best interests of the negro race, as it has very well demon strated in recent months. The welfare of the colored man in national affairs has lain with the Republican party ever since President Lincoln signed the emancipation proclamation, but a large number forgot that fact In the election of 1912. Now they are reaping the harvest of their error. ® The President says his "burdens are almost too much for one man to bear." Oh, well, he has only two more years to go. That quarantine hasn't lessened the restaurant demand for "sirloin with French." I EVENING CHAT I Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh, the Gov ernor-elect, was not able to be present at the interesting ceremonies at State College yesterday. Apropos of these exercises it is known to few that the lute General James A. Beaver, who was chairman of the board of trus tees of the big institution in Center county, urged Dr. Brumbaugh to ac cept the presidency of State College in 1907. But the Governor-elect was at that time also considering an offer of the superintendency of the Philadel phia schools and subsequently decided in faVor of the Philadelphia work. General Beaver was greatly disap pointed and wrote Dr. Brumbaugh, regretting his decision and expressing the opinion that he had made a mis take. As it looks now and in view of what has since transpired, thene seems to be no doubt that there is a "des tiny that shapes our end, rough hew them as we may." Another interesting incident in the I life of the Governor-elect is the fact that W. C. Jacobs, the senior assistant superintendent of the Philadelphia schools, who is likely to succeed Dr. Brumbaugh as superintendent, is a Juniata county boy and taught nfter graduating from the Mlliersville State Normal School in the schools of Mif flin and Schuylkill counties, subse quently going tc Philadelphia. Mr. Jacobs and John P. Garber, a Cum berland county boy, whose father is an elder in the Dunlcer church, were both students at the University of Pennsylvania under Dr. Brumbaugh and tool; their university degree while he was head of the Department of Pedagogics. Thus do the Juniata Valley boys go out into the world and fill their places creditably. Still another Incident is the fact that Dr. James McAllister, who re signed as superintendent of the Phila delphia schools to become president of the Drexel Institute, was suc ceeded by Dr. Brumbaugh and when Dr. McAllister resigned as president of the Drexel Institute about a year ago the Governor-elect was urged to accept the presidency of that institu tion. But he was then looking toward the gubernatorial position and felt that be ought not to accept the place at the head of the Drexel institution because he might then have to resign to take the place to which he has just been elected. Thus Dr. Brumbaugh seems to have been traveling right «jiong toward the goal of the public service for which he seems to be so eminently fitted. To-day it is a com mon remark that he embodies within himself more of the characteristics of President Lincoln than any other pub lic official of recent times. The Governor-elect has gotten over his reluctance at being photographed. When he first got into the limelight he did not see the use in being snap shotted at every opportunity and was inclined to balk a bit. However, he found that photographers were like reporters and that, he might as well stand and be taken. So the big edu cator gave up with a smile just 'like Governor Tener had to do and he has been taken going, coming and in all sorts of places, on station platforms, car ends, in automobiles and even on top of a pile of bricks which he mounted to make a speech. A couyile of people on Capitol Hill were talking about the new Gover nor and were speaking of the prob lems he would have to meet. One man enumerated finances, another for estry, another roads, another agricul ture and a fifth man education. "Well." put in a bystander, "you fel lows have picked things he certainly knows about. He had to handle finances and education in Philadel phia, he got bumped over our roads in the campaign and he had to plough and cut trees when he was a boy and young man. I'll bet you couldn't stump him on coal mining." The cabinetmakers have given up Governor-elect Brumbaugh as a bad job. They have presented their claims and contentions as adroitly as they could without breaking in on him, and he has just listened. The new Gov ernor has gone to Florida without in dicating one appointment he will make. In this respect he is a good bit like Governor Tener, who went away for a rest after his campaign and did not let anyone know what he in tended to do. Governor-elect Brumbaugh is foad of walking and of golf. He lias played golf for several years and llies to whang the ball good and hard. 1 WELL KNOWN PEOPLE"! —Charles A.

THANKS, OVBBPECK Ily Wing Dinger In answer to my pleas for thoughts On which to write some verse, by heck, I got a good one in to-day From some friend who signs "Over peck." And notwithstanding that his verse. Or hers, surpasses much of mine, I'm going to print it, just the same. And here you have it line for line: "Well, Wing, to help fill your request And give you subjects, I'll be blest If I'd know what to do or say That would surpass them in one way. The editor must be a crank To think your compositions rank; Don't let him pull you with the bluff That people do not want such stuff. "We've been excited through it all— Election, war, foot and baseball. But now that they are about past More subjects you must have—alas! Gaze at the turkeys, fat and fine, Big yellow pumpkins on the vine, Then think of the high cost of living And write us something on Thanks giving." Dear Overpeck, I've thought a lot Of turkeys fine and fat. Of pumpkin pie, and plum pudding, And as I've thought of that I've also thought of living costs So very high, but gee. If one can't have these toothsome things How can one thankful be? DEWIOCfiiTS TESTY ONBGUTM Webster Grim Says Loyalty Before Election Is More Needed Than Fussing Now SHOWS UP PARTY'S WOES Philadelphia's Official Count Shows Tremendous Vote Was Cast For Republicans Democruts in various sections of the State are commencing to show their teeth over the reorganization of the party in the State, and it is prob able that there will be a lot of mutter ing during the winter, but unless some "angel" with a lot of money comes along a battle to throw out the men who have run the machine for the last three years is not likely. The discon tent will drag along until the State committee meets to elect a chairman next year, and then the men who de clare that the party was sacrificed in the effort to get Hull Moose strength for the gubernatorial candidate will make themselves heard. Webster Grim, candidate for Gover nor in 1910, who was openly fought by men now in control of the Demo cratic State machine, sums up the Democratic situation this way in his Doylestown paper: "We notice that in several quarters the usual talk of 'reorganization' and 'harmony' is being indulged In. This sort of talk follows In the wake of every defeat. The need in our party is not reorganization after defeat, but party loyalty before the election, so that elections may be won. At the last election, as it was in 1910, thousands of Democrats deserted the party standard and went over bodily to the other parties. We cannot win with such methods. And the defection was not confined to what is known as tho 'Old Guard,' either, although they claim that, being entirely Ignored in the nomination of the ticket and the conduct of the campaign, they were not under any particular obligations to enthuse for the ticket. "It is a regrettable fact that the line of cleavage between the factions of the party is being widened instead of being eradicated. Party control cannot of itself win victories. The Democratic organization this year conducted a vigorous campaign, keep ing in touch with every part of the State. The Old Guard never even pre tended to conduct such a campaign. They never had the money, and never followed details. But with all that the votes were lacking. There was not enough molasses on tap. The need of the party, we believe, is more gen eral harmony and party fraternity rather than reorganization." Members of the Harrisburg Repub lican Club are looking forward to the reception to be given next week by the club to the successful candidates. The club will have some speeches upon the results and plans for the coming year will be made. A committee of mem bers Is making arrangements. Congressman Crago is said to have gubernatorial ambitions. The Dauphin County Progressive League last night decided to keep going as long as possible. A meeting was held at the Washington party headquarters, but the attendance was slim and the interest scant, the results last week having shown that Chair man Ira J. Mosey and others who did some predicting were off the track. The alliance with the Democrats has done more than anything else to knock the Bull Moose organization here to pieces. Frank B. McClain, the Lieutenarit- Governor-elect, is not enjoying much rest now that the election is over. Mr. McClain is Mayor of Lancaster and the head of a big cattle business. Lan caster does not give him much trou ble, but the cattle end of it is much disturbed. The official results of the election in Philadelphia were made public last night. Dr. Brumbaugh received 182,185 votes and had 118,805 major ity over McCormick. Senator Penrose got 165,195 votes and had a plurality of 119,213. Palmer ran third. Speaking in Philadelphia yesterday State Chairman Crow said that he an- j ticipated a busy session. IN HARRISBURG FIFTY YEARS AGO TO-DAY [From the Telegraph of Nov. 13, 1864.] Ilaek to (he Front J.
