FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 9 k THE FIGHT AGAINST PENROSE A PROSPECTUS of the plans for the Progressive campaign In Pennsylvania, beginning with the primaries next May, an- Bounaes that Theodore Roosevelt and Albert J. Beverldge will direct the fight against the re-election of United Btate Senator Boles Penrose. "Whether Justly or unjustly, Roose velt attributes his loss of the last Re publican nomination largely to Pen rose, and, as the Philadelphia Public Ledger puts It, he Is determined to "'get square." Thus, we are forced to the con clusion that the object of Fllnn and his foreign allies In stirring up an other war for 1914 Is not to promote the welfare of Pennsylvania, but merely to punish Penrose. Penrose is to be made the center of attack. Pro gressivlsm in Pennsylvania will stand or fall on Penrose. The prosperity of this Commonwealth will be subordi nated to the prosecution of a private grudge. The opinions of 2,000,000 voters on the great economic questions of the hour are to be brushed aside while one man "gets square" with an-, other for a real or fancied offense. Are we Interested In the tariff? Are B' we anxious that Pennsylvania should V retain her place among the protec- W tionist States and that she should raise lier voice against the free trade blun der of 1912? Some other time. Roose velt must punish Penrose, now. Are we alarmed over the shrinkage In trade and the steady and rapid In crease in unemployment? These are minor matters wo are not to be per mitted to consider nfext year, because Roosevelt wants to "get square" with Penrose first Are we inclined to believe that Pennsylvania and her great and varied Industrial interests will require the •ervlceß of a man In the Senate who haa Influence with the Senate; who has wide experience In political affairs, In- tlmate knowledge of the State's re . pourcea an<l needs, unusual executive ability and a capacity for work that is / aulte extraordinary? These things are at eeoondary Importance. Our one and only duty In Pennnsylvania at present la to see that Roosevelt Rets back at Panroae. Far better, a Dean I/ewls, (with his theoretical learning and his practical Ignorance, or a J. Denny O'Nell, with not much of anything that we know of, except a Fllijn en tdoraement; far better, a free trad ft Democrat or no senator at all for Pennsylvania than a failure to assist Roosevelt In settling an old score. If these are the vaunted "principles »f Progresslvlsm" we see nothing in them to substantiate the party's ex travagant claims to nobilities of pur pose such as no other political party has ever attained or can ever hope to attain. Nor are we particularly Impressed try the lieutenant Colonel Roosevelt has chosen to help him in this fight. Mr. Beveridge Is a prophet without honor in his own country. He has re peatedly been discredited in his native State of Indinna. He has been de feated for United States senator and defeated for Governor. Even the 1012 flood tide of progresslvlsm could not carry him Into office with the consent of Indiana. We feel that Mr. Beveridge is not quite the man to tell us what we ought to do for Pennsylvania and that Mr. Roosevelt himself knows consid erably less about our industrial needs than is compatible with the role of an Imported State leader. Pennsylvania Is rapidly arriving at the point where she resents being made use of as a political athletic field by persons who wish to make demon strations of their strength. THE OUTLOOK IT Is creditable to the spirit of the American business man that he Is doing his best to overcome and rise above conditions which have made hie efforts unusually difficult during the last few months. With all the Democratic experimenting and baiting of the corporations, there is still a dis tinct tone of optimism in the business • community. It Is unreasonable, however, for the Democratic ncwspapersaml the spokes men of the Wilson administration to assume that the manufacturers of this country are deliberately doing what FRIDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH * % JANUARY 9, 1914. i they can to weaken the business struc ture. On the contrary, these are striv ing in every possible and legitimate way to forge ahead in every sphere of usefulness and activity In spite of the drawbacks and the uncertainty grow ing out of the experimental policies and panaceas of the administration now in control at Washington. Political malcontents of all parties are likewise beginning to realize that the masses of the voters are no longer to be deceived by specious promises which were never meant to be fulfilled. In the approaching elections, the voter Is likely to be governed by what has transpired during the last year or two rather than by high-sounding pledges of a reduction in the cost of living, larger pay envelopes and other attractive campaign phrases. In abort, the average man is doing a lot of thinking and the Individual who hopes to achieve his political am bitions by destroying confidence and by a pretense of interest In the wel fare of the masses will discover in the very near future that the thinker has at last become wise to the situation. A society has been formed In New York to advise the matrimonially In clined. About the only advice a young man or woman In that state of mind will accept is: "Hurry out and get a minister." Boston woman by name of Blank I* seeking divorce. And yet they ask, "what's In a name." "UNSCRAMBLING" BUSINESS THE general satisfaction that has followed Mr. Morgan's an nouncement of voluntary retire ment from many of the Inter locking directorates In which his firm was the dominent factor was to have been expected In view of the terrific popular opposition which has been aroused to trusts and combinations of all kinds. Several very large financiers have already followed the example of Mor gan & Co. and there can be no doubt that the "big interests" are making up their minds to "get out from under." If this is to be done, It is clearly muoh better that It should be done volun tarily than as a result of legal battles. But Is it not strange that there has been no speculation as to the probable results of these withdrawals upon the businesses and enterprises affected? It Is to be presumed that the Mor gan representation in boardß .of direc tors was sought because the name and fame and wealth of Morgan lent strength. Anything in which J. Pler pont Morgan was personally interested was guaranteed against failure In the opinion of financial men. The mere fact that Morgan was on the board of directors was enough to make a suc cess out of a failure, to ward off ruin, to restore credit and to put an enter prise squarely on Its feet. What is to be the result of the sudden withdrawal of Morgan's sup port and prestige from so many in stitutions which have, for a long period of time, depended upon those influences? It cannot be denied that Mr. Morgan is taking something out of them. What Is being put into them to take its place? We are not at all sure that the mad rush to "unscramble" business; to separate powerful combinations Into their original units and to restore | primitive conditions of business, Is a thing to rejoice over. We cannot for- i get that the great things which have been done for America, financially and industrially, have been done by the great leaders and combinations of leaders. These achievements have been so notable that the whole tend ency In Europe Is to adopt our plan and to perfect the very systems which we are proceeding so blithely to tear In pieces. Have we any positive assurance that the "unscrambling" process is wise and practical, or are we merely glut ting a prejudice? A Pittsburgh man became 111 from eating too many eggs. The correspon dent didn't think It necessary to add that the patient Is a millionaire. We hear a lot about "fine winter weather," but have you noted the length of the obituary column lately? GENEROSITY OF MB. FORD MUCH and well deserved praise has come to Henry Ford, head of the Ford Motor Car Com pany, of Detroit, as the result of his determination to share $10,000,000 a year profits with his wage-earners and to establish a mini mum wage of $5 a day In his plant for even the "commonest laborer who sweeps the floors." Any man who deliberately relin quishes so enormous a sum of money for the benefit of his employes is do serving of unstinted commendation. Yet. it would be very unfortunate— and probably no one would regret It more than Mr. Ford—if the public were to jump at the conclusion that all employers are in a position to do what Mr. Ford has done. The Ford Motor Car Company is not comparable with the average busi ness establishment. It has been an industrial gold mine—a rare "find" such as the business annals of the country do not record once In a gen eration. Starting almost on a shoe string, its trade grew until the profits reached the sum of $25,000,000 a year, or approximately 500 per cent, on the investment. Clearly, the Ford Company Is In a position to make concessions to its employes which would be Impossible with the firm that has to content itself with a 5 or 10 per cent, dividend. The news dispatches state that on the day following Mr. Ford's an nouncement his factory was besieged by men, women and children In such numbers that It was necessary to call out tho police. They rushed to the Ford shops Just as they rushed to California in '49 and to the Klondike in later years. This showed very conclusively that a $5 wage for the "commonest laborer who swoeps the floor" Is not the mar ket price for labor and that the great majority of employers cannot hope to compete with Mr. Ford on thin basis. | Etontttg <Ettat More newspapermen of Pennsylva nia will gather here on the t6nth of next month when the three big asso ciations of the journalists of the State ""111 meet than have assembled In the State Capital in a long time. The State Editorial Association, which has taken on a new lease of life and has • 'liances of becoming a greater factor than ever In State affairs, the Asso ciated Dallies and the Association of Weekly Newspapers are organizations with which almost eyery newspaper published in the State and many of the editors and reporters are members, i hey will gather here for the first time and it is expected that the influence of the meetings will be fijlt throughout the State. The State Edlturla! Asso ciation became for a while more of an association of men identified with the ÜB ' nus ß departments of newspapers rather than with the editorial and news ends, and it did little more than meet and take trips for a while. In re cent years it lias made Its annual meetings opportunities for newspaper makers to hear the big men of the profession and for the promotion of good feeling. The other two associa tions are youngsters in the field, but mighty lusty ones and will be not only clearinghouses for Ideas, but will serve to unite the newspapermen of the State for their common interests. Everyone can remember how the lack of organ ization among newspaper people was i iii I t* 16 tinie of the press "muzzle" nlll in the Legislature. Perhaps it was that emergency that caused the news papermen to awake to their condition. At any rate they now have three strong organizations and they comprise rep resentative men. The new Income tax is leading to some odd things in the matter of col lections and returns. The other day one of the banks received a form from a client who had signed it in order to secure the exemption. The blank reads: "I do solemnly declare that I, ■ • • • am a citizen and resident of the United States." This blank was filled out by a lady who wrote: "I do solemnly declare that I, • am a disfranchised citizens, etc." There are suspicions that she believes in suffragist princi ples. Some playful youngsters experi mented with the outside dumb-waiter of an uptown apartment house the other day in a way that was productive of almost a mild* little panic among the upper-floor tenants, —and unques tionably some heart-to-heart confer ences between wayward youths and outraged parents a little later. The dumb-waiter ordinarily is used for hoisting ashes, ice, etc., and it is so constructed that anybody from the ground outside may load it and send It speedily to the top by merely signaling for those higher up to hoist away. Several small boys pondered long and earnestly as to the probable uses the waiter could be put when, unluckily, a small dog strolled obligingly by. What followed Is an easy guess. How successful the experiment proved was demonstrated to the deliriously happy youths below when some feminine shrieks to the effect that "Mercy! This isn t ice!" and "That mean gar bage man just puts any old thing in our hoist," etc., etc., reached their ears from above. Here is a story of wandering that is worth while. A man at the Capitol put his coat and overshoes In an office and went to another part of the build ing. When he got back the place was locked. He went out and bought an umbrella, but In so doing got his feet wet. He then brought dry stockings and got on a car. He left the package on a car. Fortunately he had the number and he chased two blocks to catch the car on the return trip. He sot on, paid another fare, asked for his bundle and was told by the con ductor that he had sent it to the office. He got off the car and walked home. The manner In which' bankers of Harrisburg and this section of the State are standing up for Philadelphia for a regional reserve bank deserves to be remembered by Philadelphia peo ple, because It is the kind of aid that is worth while in emergency. Almost everyone connected with banking here abouts is doing what he can for Phila delphia, and some strong arguments are being made.

WILSON DECLINES S TO BEAR BURDENS Will Not Be a Candidate For the Democratic Nomination For Governor j PALMER AN ARTFUL DODGER Creasy Leads the Grangers Into the Wilderness of Partisan Politics Again Secretary of Labor William B. Wil son has put. tho bosses of the Demo cratic State machine all up in the air again by his declaration at Wll llamsport last night that he Is not a candidate for governor of Pennsylva nia and does not desire to become a candidate and that, furtheo, he is satisfied in the presidential cabinet. Wilson was the man picked out by Congressman Palmer and the other desperate bosses of the Democratic machine a3 one who might be accept able to the Old Guard and the militants have left the reorganization faction because of disgust with the arbitrary conduct of the bosses. Palmer does not want to be the candidate for gov ernor because he knows that he would be made a target byihis open enemies and a chopping block by those in his own camp who want to get rid of hin> and his clan. He had Wilson trotted out as a possibility, us indi cated in this column yesterday, but Wilson balks. Palmer Is expected to say something about his ambitions within a week. He spoke at Easton last night and confined himself to glit tering generalities. ills colleagues in Congress, Palmer in some of whom are sua- a Dilemma pected of being deslr- Just Now ous of getting rid of him. have been pressing him to say whether he will run for gov ernor or stay in Congress to boss them. Palmer has been sounding sentiment which he has not found very favorable to gubernatorial ambitions and trying to put someone else to the front. Wil son has failed him: others are riddled as soon as suggested and Creasy and Berry are not considered as just the right kind to put up. Palmer is now said to want to run for senator, al though the Philadelphia Ledger, which has been the Congressman's mouthpiece, intimates to-day that the Stroudsburg man's ambitions fly as high as the White House itself. Pal mer may be forced to pull Guthrie back from Toklo or go' into the grab bag for some rich Democrat, who has not been as busy making enemies as the reorganization bosses. The legislative coynmlttee of the State Grange was led into politics again last night by "Farmer" Creasy, the worthy master, who is also a receptive can- Creasy Lays didate for any Demo in a "Foot!" cratic nomination from Supply Early Governor to congress man -at - large. The t committee "resoluted". several ways on Wednesday night and sent President Wilson his orders about appointments on the reserve board. But last, night it got into politics in tho good old Creasy way. It assailed the State Highway Department and de manded information; it named a. com mittee to probe expenditures of the State government, the delays in State reports, the failure to tax property full value and other things, all of which would furnish a "food" supply for Creasy when he goes on the Btuinp. The committee also demanded the re pea' of the township road law and more powers for townships in road matters, notwithstanding the horrible examples some districts have given when they had power. It was a regu lar hoop-la meeting of the Creasy kind and the members packed their grips and went back to the farm hav ing done all that the "Farmer" de sired. "Central Democratic Club is going to have a red-hot session to-night." said an enthusiastic member this morning. "Some resolutions will be Ked-Hot Time presented on the or- Promised ganization of the Central Club Board of Poor Di rectors and the con temptuous disregard of the protest of the most important Democratic Club in the city In the matter of the appointments.

Minn., where he Is secretary manager of the Association of Com merce, James R. Klnsloe, formerly of Harrisburg, says: "I am pleased to note that what I long ago predicted would happen, or should happen, is about to happen—the formation of a larger commercial body, more representative of Harrlsburg's civic and Industrial importance. I sin cerely hope all civic and commercial organizations may join hands and make of the new body a strong and in fluential organization. It's the only thing to do and it's the right thing to do. "In this connection I am reminded of the following words clipped from a Western publication: "It isn't the marble, nor is It the stone Nor Is it the columns of nteel By which is the worth of an edifice known — But something that's living and real. You may build with splendors of quarry and mine, With the glories of brush and of pen. But it's only a building, though ever so fine. If It hasn't the spirit of men. "You may build such a structure that lightning can't harm, Or one that an earthquake can't raze. You may build It of granite and boast that its charm Shall last to the end of all days. You may line with the rarest of marble each wall. And with gold you may tint it, but then It Is only a building If It after all Isn't filled with the spirit of men."
