DEMOCRATIC LEGISLATION
ALREADY the armies of the un
employed in New York and
other great cities are appealing
to the authorities for relief —
for work, not charity. Writing to the
New York Tribune, a correspondent
calls attention to the message of Presi
dent Buchanan regarding the distress
ful conditions which followed the
free-trade legislation of 1846 and 1857,
In which he said:
With unsurpassed plenty in all
the productions and all the ele
ments of natural wealth, our manu
facturers have suspended, our pub
lic works are retarded, our private
enterprises of different kinds are
abandoned and thousands of useful
laborers are thrown out of employ
ment and reduced to want.
Democratic tariff tinkering has al
ready unsettled business and the
conditions described by president
Buchanan (a Democrat) are manifest
ing themselves in ways which cannot
be misunderstood in these opening
■weeks of 1914.
In these days of political hysteria
It is not a popular thing to dwell upon
the effects of radical legislation nor is
public approval likely to follow calam
ity howling for political purposes, but
the facts are self-evident, and the
opening of American markets to the
cheap-labor products of Europe is cer
tain to bring about conditions which
will need no publicity to establish
their existence.
Many strange and gratifying
things are happening in politics In
these halevon days.—The Harris
burg Patriot.
Yes! Yes!
SUNDAY AND HIS METHODS
ONE may frown on the efforts of
William A. Sunday, the whirl
wind evangelist, for one or for
many reasons. He may jar our
tender sensibilities. His rough-and
ready methods may not comport with
bur ideas of religious service. Or we
may profess to believe that he is not
sincere. But we cannot honestly shut
our eyes to the vast good that he is
doing wherever he goes.
The Pittsburgh Chronicle-Tele
graph, In commenting on Sunday's
campaign In that city, says that "Pitts
burgh Is experiencing the greatest
moral awakening that it has ever
known and the influence producing
this cannot be regarded as otherwise
than providential."
Those who are opposing Sunday
might do well to let him go his cy
clonic way and turn their own atten
tion to the uplift of the community
Instead of the villification of a co
worker for the spread of the Gospel.
They are all working toward one end,
so why cavil over methods.
Our idea of the most depraved crea
ture In the world is the designer of the
"comic valentine."
REAL OBSTACLE TO MARRIAGE
THE St. Paul Dispatch sees, in the
wholesale plunge into matri
mony of the employes of Henry
Ford, the automobile manufac
turer, following the announcement
that he would share $10,000,000 with
them and raise their wages, an answer
to the question why such a percentage
of people nowadays refuse to marry.
"They are not marrying because
they cannot afford it," says the Dis
patch, which points out that they
have, counted the cost in dollars and
cents and the reckoning appals them.
The writer admits that this is only
cne factor in the problem, but he es
timates it as the most potent of all.
The young man does not marry be
cause he cannot afford to, is the con
clusion.
In this he is wrong. Young men
and young women are receiving
higher wages to-day than ever before.
It is true that prices are high, but
there Is not one young man out of
a hundred who could not marry and
provide a better home than that to
which his father took his mother, and
have more money at the end of each
month with which to support it. May
be you will smile at this, but pause
a moment for a backward look over
the years before you pass judgment.
The decrease In the number of mar
riages— or rather the postponement
—ls not due to low wages or
WEDNESDAY EVENING
high cost of living, but to a desire to
start in where father left off; to an
J unwillingness to pay the price; to a
I selfish disinclination to sacrifice per
sonal comforts and little luxuries for
I the joys and responsibilities of mar
. ried life. Let us not fool ourselves
! into pity for these self-centered young
' folks. What they need is a readjust
ment of their views on life; a glimpse
through the spectacles of their sturdy
fathers and mothers—one not obtain
able, by the way, through the medium
of the monacle or the lorgnette.

EUGENICS
iHE study of eugenics is the
I study of race improvement,"
A declared Dr. McCuaig in his
address to the women of
jHarrisburg, in Zion Lutheran Churcli
I yesterday.
j In defining the practical import of
I this study to the women before him he
asserted it involved "how to x touch the
lives of the children of to-day that
they might grow up to be better
fathers and mothers than their par
ents had been; they in turn to bring
up better children from the start and
so a progressive betterment."
Kroin the hazy conception that
lurks in the mind of the average man
that eugenics has primarily to do with
feeblc-mindedness and insanity and
loathsome disease, it is refreshing to
come to the clean, sweet practical
issue of dealing with these conditions
by touching aright the unfolding life
of the child.
That the child is the seed-force of
society; that the great force welling
up in him is a love possibility and
that the life of the child may be so
trained to the full expression of love
through every avenue of mind and
body that when he is old he will not
be untrue to that training seems to
lead back to a true foundation.
That by right training the functions
of procreation may be brought into
subjection to the will and affection
seems to simplify a problem that amid
the chaos of spiritual and physical
overthrow looked almost hopeless.
"Women should be placed in the same
level with men," says a suffrage publi
cation. Up or down?
ROYAL'S RECORD
THOSE critics of the Republican
members of the City Council
who are striving to make a
martyr of Mayor John K. Royal
are manifestly proceeding on the
theory that a majority of the people
are so indifferent to what goes on in
any city that they have overlooked
the partisan record of the present
holdover Mayor. His weekly exhi
bition of virtuous indignation over the
dismissal of some of his police force
wit! deceive only those who have
given no attention to the partisanship
of the recent city .administration.
However, without regard to the mo
tive that is back of the reorganization
of the several departments, the mem
bers of Council must not forget that
their first duty is to the city and real
efficiency must control in all appoint
ments. It matters little whether the
individual be a Democrat or Repub
lican or member of some other party
so long as his service is what ought
to be expected in a city like Harris
burg.
Politics is bound to play some part
in any form of government and we
assume that Harrisburg will be no
exception, but in the playing of the
political game, whether by one side or
the other, the interests of the city
must be given first consideration and
all appointees should be selected on
the score of fitness. There are many
important things demanding the im
mediate attention of the new city
rulers, and It is to be hoped the mere
reorganization of the departments will
not interfere with the greater work
which will require the close attention
of the several heads of departments.
Mitchell Palmer protests that Gilford
Pinchot is a Pennsyivanian. As Dickens
would have put it, in the Pickwickian
sense.
HORRORS!
AFTER the tight-skirt, what? has
been a question that has given
even the most sedate of mankind
cause for thought. And now,
behold, the answer is at hand, and it
has possibilities sufficient to hold the
attention of 'most anybody for a shud
derful moment or two.
From a gathering of fashion experts
at Chicago conies the decree that "the
bustle is again to be worn this sea
son, of a size to be graded by indi
vidual taste." Right on the heels of
this interesting bit of news comes an
other to the effect that "the tight skirt
is to remain for another season."
Is your imagination equal to the
task of conjuring up a pretty girl
garbed in an eel-skirt draped artisti
cally over one of those wire bird
cages that used to masquerade under
the name of bustle?
Don't say they won't do it. A
woman would take 'em off altogether
if fashion so decreed.
Mayor Royal finds that he has made
a mistake. When he took office he be
lieved the old adage to read "To the
victors belong the spoils." He has
since discovered that it should be "to
the vicious belong the spoils."
We confess that the "men's styles"
items now appearing In the newspapers
do not interest us much. So long as
ours are not patched where we sit we
are content.
"The idea of making a woman a
policeman originated In comic opera,"
says Ed. Howe. But it's no longer a
joke.
We arise to ask if It may be consid
ered proper to designate the cackle of
a hen as a tuneful lay.
The shrewd politician is a man who
thinks several years In advance of the
general populace.
HARRISBUHG fftjftj TELEGRAPH
evening cr ?at
Contrary to the belief of some peo
ple who have been talking about con
stitutional conventions and amend
ments, the people of this State have
never had an opportunity to vote on
tho question of woman suffrage, and a
curious error prevails in regard to
proposed amendments on the subject
suftra Ke. Some people have the
idea because one of the amendments
voted upon at the special election of
June 18, 1889, was called the suffrage
amendment that it was a woman suf
frage proposition to amend the Con
stitution of the State so that women
would have the right of franchise.
Ihe use of the term suffrage was
purely technical and the amendment
really related to abolition of poll tax
and not to women at all. This elec
tion, by the way, was the last special
State-wide election held and is mem
orable because it was at this time that
tho people voted on a prohibition
amendment. Prior to 1889 there had
been a tremendous temperance wave
and State after State voted on the
question of wet or dry. The Legis
latures of 1887 and 1889 voted to sub
mit the amendment and there was so
much popular clamor that a special
election was ordained for the pro
hibition and suffrage or poll tax
amendments. The prohibition amend
ment was defeated by 188,000, in
round numbers, and the other amend
ment by 2 36.000. Dauphin voted wet
by 3,000 and Cumberland went dry by
4,000. These figures are approximate.
And while we are on the subject of
constitutional amendments it is inter
esting to note, in view of the demand
tor a constitutional convention, that
in November. 1891, the regular No
vember election, the people of the
State voted overwhelmingly against a
constitutional convention, the vote be
ing only 173,813 In favor to 420,598
against. Dauphin county went against
tho proposed convention by a big ma
jority. In this case the names of men
to sit in the convention were sub
mitted to the people rft the same time
that they were called upon to vote on
the main proposition, a plan similar
to that proposed in the last Legis
laturo and which is likely to be sub
mitted to the next General Assembly,
ihe people of the State have been
rather slow about changing consti
tutions in the last 100 years. The
State has had only four, or, rather,
three, because the first was more or
less preJiminary. These constitutions
were dated 1776. when the State fol
lowed the example of the Union and
set up a government; 1790, when it
got down to business after the Revo
lution and began to find out what it
wanted; 183 8, when experience showed
that it needed a new palladium of
liberties, and 1873, when the progress
in life had become so advanced that
the earlier document was found anti
quated.
The State's bee keepere will come
here for their annual convention next
week and it is rather remarkable that
one-tenth of the farmers of the whole
State are eligible to membership in
the association. The honey bee Is bet
ter known in jest, poetry and accident
reports than in agriculture, yet this
State's output has been growing and
growing rapidly. Oddly enough, it is
estimated in tons, although we com
monly associate it with a pound or a
comb. The meeting next week will
bring to the city men who have In
vested tens of thousands of dollars in
apiariee.
Among visitors here yesterday for
trie editorial association meetings were
Dietrich Lamade, the head of the
State's great weekly, Williamsport
Grit, and Frederic E. Manson, man
aging editor of the paper. Both make
it a business to attend the meetings
here every year and their interest in
the association is often referred to bv
the publishers.

COMMIT HIMSELF
Declines to Say Whether He Would
Support Ryan If He Should
Win Nomination
PALMER COMES RIGHT OUT
Prohibitionists Have Lively Meet
ing—Mestrezat to Be Pla
cated by Wilson
According to the Philadelphia
Record and the Philadelphia Evening
Bulletin, Vance C. McCormlck, as
pirant for the Democratic nomination
for Governor, refused in Philadelphia
yesterday to make a definite promise
to abide by the decision of the Demo
cratic voters at the primaries, al
though Congressman A. Mitchell Pal
mer did so unhesitatingly.
and the other leaders of the Demo
cratic reorganization faction were in
Philadelphia yesterday discussing the
slate, the platform and the campaign
and it came out that Palmer thought
that there should be no platform until
after the candidates had been nomi
nated. The senatorial candidate said
that he was personally for local op
tion, and it was intimated pretty
broadly that McCormick will declare
for local option in the course of the
statement of his position, which is
promised within a few days.
The Philadelphia Record of to-day
says: "Both Congressman Palmer
and Mr. McCormick were asked if
they would support City Solicitor
Michael J. Ryan should lie win the
b'uuernatoriai nomination in the pri
maries. Mr. Palmer said he would
abide by the decision of the Demo
cratic voters of the State, but Mr. Mc-
Cormick indicated that he might bolt
the Democratic ticket. He said: "if
1 were convinced that Mr. Ryan's
nomination was the result of a bi
partisan machine deal, as i. was satis
lied the nomination of Grim was in
1»I0, my course would be similar to
that which 1 took at that time."
The Philadelphia Bulletin, in its ac
count oi the interviews, has this to
say: "Asked if he would support City
Solicitor Michael J.
Kyau, in the event oi
1-aimer Very tne latter defeating
j/iouipi iii Mr. McCormick tor
ilia Support the gubernatorial
nomiuatiou, uon -
gressman Palmer
said: "I shall aouie Dy the decision
ot the Democratic voters of the Slate,
i believe ihat iur. McCorimck win win
and 1 shall certainly asK tne voters in
my pre-primary tour to support nim.
x'ne big issue of tne campaign bexore
me primaries will be: Do tne Demo
cratic voters ol the State want tc en
uoisc the party reorganization anu
cleansing policy or uo they wish to
stand by the old bipartisan machine
policy'.'
"1 am not a candidate lor a State
office," observed the Congressman
vvnen asked what position the Demo
cratic party would take on the liquor
quesiton. "Personally, 1 am a local
optionlst. 1 believe mat is good Dem
ocratic doctrine. It is home rule. Ido
not believe, however, that a party piat
iorm should be draited before its
candidates are nominated."
Mr. McCormick was hardly as ex
plicit as fo what his course would be
in the event of City Solicitor Ryan
capturing the Democratic nomination
lor Governor.
"If 1 were convinced that Mr.
Ryan's nomination were the result of
a bipartisan machine deal,' he said,
"as 1 was satisfied following the Al
lentown convention that the nomina
tion of Grim was, then my course
would be similar to the position X took
at ttiat time."
Republican leaders conferred yes
terday In Philadelphia and con-
"watchful waiting." Republican
State Chairman Wil
liam E. Crow, who
spent some time yes- Crow Talks
terday with Senator About tliu
Penrose and Senators Situution
MoNichol and Vare,
when interviewed last
night, said: "As chairman of the Re
publican State committee 1 will not
take any part in the canvass for the
gubernatorial nomination. I shall have
no favorite. It is tru'e that within the
last twenty-four hours I have heard
considerable talk of Superintendent of
Public Schools Brumbaugh for Gov
ernor, but former Governor Stuart,
former Secretary Knox, Senator
Sproul and others have each many
ardent champions, and so far as I
can learn there has been no concen
trated sentiment upon any candidate
for the governorship. It is still an
open field and I do not believe any j
one Is in a position to name the
winner."
Professor Charles Scanlon, of Pitts
burgh, secretary of the Presbyterian
temperance committee, in tendering
his resignation at
Pittsburgh yesterday
Cold Water as a member of the
Folks Stand State executive cota
by Policy inittee of the Prohibi
tion party, followed up
a refusal made pri
vately to members of the executive
committee to be the Prohibition can
didate for Governor in the coming
State campaign. Isaac Mondereau, of
Meadvllle, was elected to fill the va
cancy.
There was little talk of other possi
ble candidates, and Chairman J. E. P.
Prugh, of Jeannette; Secretary Henry
S. Gill, of Greensburg, and David B.
McCalmont were named a committee
to suggest names for a full State
ticket.
A resolution was adopted, designed
to curb those seeking a place on the
Prohibition ticket, but unwilling to
subscribe to its principles. It com
mits all candidates on the Prohibition
ticket for Congress or legislative of
fices, to the policy that, regardless of
whether prohibition of the liquor traf-
flc becomes a part of the law of the
nation by statute or by constitutional
amendment, a political party commit
ted to prohibition is absolutely neces
sary for its effective enactment and
enforcement.

tice are mad clean through at the
way his name was used by the State
bosses and how he was dumped with
out a word of explanation, and efforts
aro being made to placate them. The
Justice is also said to be miffed, and
the fact that he lias not come out for
the ticket of the reorganization crowd
is much commented upon. The man
ner in which Bruce Sterling is nailed
to the reorganization slate for Con
gress-at-large indicates that Sterling
Is from Payette.
The names of General C. M. Clem

clined to make any statement whether
he will run or not.
Revenue Collector William H.
Berry is quoted in Philadelphia in
high praise of Congressman M. Clyde
Kelly and some people are wondering
why this Democratic officeholder is
doing so. Some think that he is rank
