BRUMBAUGH PLEADS
FOR STATE'S HONOR
ON HISTORIC SOIL
. -
Pays Glowing and Eloquent
Tribute to Pennsylvania in
Address at Paoli Memorial
Celebration.
Dr Martin a. Brumbaugh. Ilcpubllcnn
nominee for Governor, pleaded for fewer
laws nnd for a strong citizenry at tlio
187th anniversary exercises of the I'noli
massacre, held on the battlefield at Mal
vern Station this afternoon. Tho exer
cises wete lu-Iil untlrr the auspices of
the Taoll Memorial Association In front
of the monument erected many years ago
over the burial place of the Victims of
the midnight nesault on the troops or
Gener.il Anthony Wayne during the How
lutlonnry War.
"One of the greatest sifts a human
being can iccHvp Is the sift nf "Itizpiisli i
in this great American Ivepubllc," said
Doctor l.iutiih muh. ' In nil place, In am
time or clime, has the world witnessed the
Mipreme spirit of democracy as It Is to
bo seen here In the United States In this
beloved I'ommonwrnlth of Pennsylvania.
"The political struggle of tho centuries
has been to widen tne circle in mu w
rrton citizenry. On this spot men heroic
nlly gave their all that n unlvcrsul de
mocracy with a quality of civic rights
for all should be the herltnge of unborn
millions.
'Countries, like Individuals, can pros
per onlv as they give gloriously their
best gifts to those who need them It
Is because our forefathers gnvo so
splendidly that we have prospered so
phenomenally. It Is just ns necessary
today that men should give their lives
In service for tho nation as it ever was
The man who loves his country honors
It by living under Its laws, a decent,
orderlv. Industrial life. If any are to
be denied a part In our civic procedure,
let It be the lazy, tho willingly Idle and
the criminal. These are unpatriotic.
They are not real American citizens.
"The first test of a good citizen Is
that ho obeys the laws, not through
fear but through sincere love for the
country whose laws he obeys. This love
must be an Intelligent love. It must bo
based on a thorough knowledge of tho
great sacrifices of the past.
"Wc are always In danger of thinking
our civic Ills are curtd by legislative en
actments. The best citizens need fewest
laws. They know how to apply tho gol
den rule In their dally conduct, and care
little for the restrictive Issues of public
assemblies. The weak citizen is always
) cumoring for much statutory support.
The strong citizen could cheerfully forego
much of the agitation for new laws and
give himself gladly and heartily to con
duct of such a patriotic and noble char
acter as to win the respect and support
of his fellows.
"A few laws honestly and Impaitlally
applied will make for tho progress of a
people. Vaguo, Intemperate, propulsive
and radical enactments lead Inevitably to
confusion, distrust and disaster. There
should bo stability in ordered procedure
just as burcly as In individual eunduct.
Legislatures snould, like individuals, be
Bure they are right before they go ahead.
"I am pleading for that type of man
who has respect for social ami civic or
der, who has the courage to doubt wisely
before acting, and who. when the right
thing Is clearly visioned, will devote his
L ncrK.ii3, his fortune, his life, his Hacrcd
"honor to Its accomplishment. When
would-ho leaders cry 'Ui here or 'Lo
there,' ho will say 'Prove all things, hold
fast that which is good.'
PENNSYLVANIA'S GREAT HISTORY.
"There is another matter that I wltsh to
present for a minute. When I taught
school in Pennsylvania yeurs ago I be
gan to learn the lesson that there was
a great deal of New England and Vir
ginia history in our schools, and very
little Pennsylvania history, because those
who had written the text books of our
public schools the books you studied and
I studied were men who knew the New
England history and the Virginia history,
but they did not know the story of Penn
sylvania. We hav not taught it to our
children n. we should.
"Gradually there has to come Into the
conscience of the people of this great
Commonwealth the fact that here In
Pennsylvania we have a history of the
founding of a colony and the develop
ment ut a Commonwta th a stury of
eplcndld servlCH by men and women,
that Is as lne and splendid a anv people
in the world have written Into the an
nate of time, and today. In this political
campaign, I rejoice that I am a Penn
sylvania boy, and that you ore citizens
of this great State that ve all ought to
love.
"Tho moral of that Is allow no man
to spealc III of your family, your home,
your church, your town, your country,
your C'ommomi, ,ilth Thes" uught to be
the sacred thing's for which you stand
and Into which you should be putting the
full energy of your best manhood and
finest womanhood, and tho man who
tradutt-s tin- State and brings no social
program of betterment of party Is an
enem) of ins people and a traitor to his
Commonwealth.
"All the peoples of the world hav
found a refuge, a home, a haven In
Pennsylvania. No man ha ever been
baried because of his nationality or his
creed at any time. It hnB been the mri3t
tolerant, tho most humane, tho most
Iihilanthiopic State In nil the I'nlon. Jts
pages nowhere record tt single story of
persecution or violence. Here we have
intermingled. intermarried, interllved,
and w ought to be proud of the products
end bee to It that no train our call,
dren, ns well as ourselves, to rgan
with respect and reverence the splendid
story of Pennsylvania's growth and de
velopment and M"-re!,
"1 say th tly to you today,
because !t ' tho long annals
but little Hie for a time
in Penns it matters very
much win i splendid citizen,
ship fcha': md fight for Its
splendid rei.r. whether they shall
stund by and U-t it bo traduced and Us
fair name dragged in tha dust.
UPHOLD STATE'S HONOn
"I for one want to preach to you tho
gospel of the splendor of our Common
wealth; of Its matchless industries, Its
superb educational facilities. Its large
agricultural outlook. Its great and Klorl
ous manhood. And I ask you when you
come to vote to support the party that
more than any other has written the
largest and brightest and best pages Into
the annals of your state.
"If central Pennsylvania were In the
Btate of Maine or Vermont or New
Hampshire we would build railroads and
run excursion trains to haul the people
to look at it. Why don't we open our
eyes to the magnificent heritage that
God has rained down here upon us and
walk out Into the arena of manhood and
say, 'Beautiful Pennsylvania, I am proud
of her. She Is my native State.' "
Colonel Neibecker. superintendent of
the Glen Mills School, and the Rev.
Lewis a. Parsels were the other speak
ers. The Glen Mills Schoolboys, under
the direction of Colonel Neibecker, gave
a drill Members of Guss Post. G. A. R.,
also drilled and closed the exercises by
decorating the monument and firing a
salute,
A throng of 5000 persons attended the
Services and gave Dr. Brumbaugh an
enthusiastic reception. The anniversary
of the massacre U Sunday, but the com
mittee in charge of the services selected
Joday for 1U observaass.

MAYOR CRITICISES
COUNCILS FOR GRANT
TO NEW CITY COURT
Allotment of $400,000 for
Buildings for Juvenile and
Domestic Relations
Branded as Extravagant.
Mayor nlnnkenburr sharply criti
cised Councils In an Interview today
for their "extravagance" In nllotlng
(100,000 of tho proposod lonn to build
a courthouso for tho Juvenile nnd Do
mestic Relations Divisions of tho Mu
nicipal Court nnd for pnsslnir over his
veto an ordinance condemning' property
rtt 21st nnd Race strets as n site for
tho hulldlnrr. Ho urged that If such a
building Is erected It be located on tho
property ndjolnlnn; the present Houso
of Detention, so ns to keep these
branches torrotlier,
Tho Mayor was In fine spirits nnd ap
parently In good health. He said:
"I think the Mttnlclpnl Court Is en
tirely too younr; to bo Into such ex
trnvngnnce. We want to find out what
the Court Is llko and see what It can
do, and then rnnko some general com
prehensive plan for providing It with
a courthouse.
"It seems to me absurd, In fact a
little cheeky, especially nftcr the cx
travnirnnt extremes they went to In
appointment of tipstaves In that mat
ter they (touted public opinion. I don't
know that the Municipal Court Is en
titled to nny hotter quarters than the
Common l'lcns. Quarter Sessions nnd
other courts. You know what poorly
ventilated, congested nnd dark condi
tions somu of those courts nre In.
"The House of Detention was built In
1906 nnd 1907. There seemed at that time
ample room, In fact, more than was
needed. I wns County Commissioner at
that time, nnd had charge of erection of
this building.
PRESENT QUARTERS AMPLE.
"l'hlllp II, Johnson wns the architect
and his plans were accepted With slitrht
modification. When. It wns dedicated,
Mayor Royburn made an address and
persons were present from Chicago, Ros
ton. New York nnd other plnces, nnd they
said there was nothing like It in this
country.
"All of a sudden It Is Inadequate. If It
Is Inadequate we should build nlonuslde
of It for. tho Juvenile nnd Domestic Rela
tions divisions. I believe In keeping these
qunrters together. The House of Deten
tion, at 213.1 to 2141 Arch street, occupies
a lot 90 by 102 feet. Adjoining Is an 1P
font street, called Recchwood. The next
five properties nre assessed at $37,100. In
the following order: 2121, J6000; 2123, $7200;
211.5. $7200; 2127, $7200; 2129. $7500. A building
could be erected there nt a cosO of $100,
000. The acquisition of these properties
would give us double the space we now
have.
"I entirely agree with Trestdcnt Mc
Curdy, of Common Council, thnt If any
additional buildings are erected, that Is
where they should be located. That
would keep these branches together with
out grcnt expense. The House of De
tention wns built for $165,000' out of an
annronrlntlon of $200,000. We tried to
turn $35,000 back Into tho city treasury.
The equipment wo provided at the House
of Detention was without a blemish.
NEED LESS EXTRAVAGANCE.
"Now, what Is the uso of Imposing nn
extravagance of this kind upon tho clty7
This must have been a sudden Inspira
tion. All of a sudden we (lnd the present
quarters are Inadequate. Some Inspira
tions Ho sleeping a long time. Let us
have n comprehensive plan about this
whole project. The Juvenile and Domestic
Relations divisions want a $100,000 court
house for themselves, but we want to
know what they will do.
"The Municipal Court has not made
a good start In public opinion. It must
mnke good first. It asks for this amount
of money now, but nobody knows where
It will end.
"How many years have we been walt
Inc In West Philadelphia nnd In Torres-
dale to get some Improvements for the i
rltv'a noor. sick and Insane? Now these ,
poople come along and want to gobble
everything In sight. It Is not fair or
reasonable."
Tho Mayor became sarcastic In discuss
ing Councils' attltudo regarding transit,
"I am glad that It did not require pub
lic opinion to compel them to include
$500,000 In the loan for subway work," he
said. "I am glad to learn that It was
always In their minds that they wore
Just Joking with the public all the time."
FATHER ACCUSES HOSPITAL
Says Nurse Ordered Mother to Take
Dying Child Away.
The charge that St. Agnes' Hospital re
fused to accept for treatment an U-month-old
girl who had been burned and that
as a result the child died later in the
Mt. Rlnal Hospital, wns made today by
Emllo Pelllcome. of 1728 Soulh Eleventh
street, father of the child, at the Coro
ner's Inquest.
The Infant was Mary Pelllcome. She
died at the Mt. Slnat Hospital September
17. Two or three days prior to that date
she had been burned at her home while
her brother was playing with mntchrs.
Chief Deputy Coroner Sellers, who con

ROTTEN FIRE HOSE
MAKES TEST RISKY,
PORTER DECLARES
Forty Per Cent, Would
Burst Under Trial and
City May Need All Its
Apparatus for Emergency.
Fear of! a fire In Philadelphia like
that which devastated llaltlmore some
years ngo hos decided Director of Pub
lic Safety George D. Porter not to or
der a test of nil flro hose, ns suggested
by tho National Hoard of Flro Under
writers, according to a stntement he
gavo to tho Evening LEDoen this after
noon. "Tho 40 per cent, of our hose referred
to by tho board would burst If we
tested It," said Director Porter. "We
would rather havo It burst nt a nre
and have some uso of It than destroy
It In tests nnd then wait until City
Councils makes up Its mind to give us
money for new hose."
Tho dltector read tho story In the
Evknino LriDOBn based oil the report of
tho underwriters nnd then declared:
"This story hacks mo up In my con
troversy with Chairman Connelly of the
Councllmanlc Finance Committee. I my
self asked the National Board of Flio
Underwriters to como hero or send n mnn
to exainlno tho hose, every hit of ap
paratus and every fire department build
ing In the city,
"Wo don't dare test tho hose. Tho 40
per cent, would burst under lest and
wo couldn't get nny moro right nway.
Wo might need It all at once. Tho reason
we don't dnro test It Is because we might
havo another Baltimore flro hero with
out It. Even tho rotten I1030 Is needed."
Tho Board of Flro Underwriters recent
ly completed Its examination In thfta city,
mntlo nt the Invitation of Director Porter
It declared that the frequent bursting of
hoso at fires was duo to lack of proper
test by the fire department, and pointed
out that 40 por cent, of the hose In
use Is moro than five years old and
should be replaced.
It will be necesisary for tno department
In this city to purchase at least 18,000
or 20,000 feet of hoso annually to icplnce
discarded sections, In the opinion of the
underwriters.
Denial wns made today by Councilman
Hurry T. Read, chairman of the Flro
Committee, that politics has anything to
do with conditions In tho Camden department.
