"MY POLICIES"
SUSPENSION of judgment with
respect to President Wilson's
foreign policy has ceased to be a
virtue In the United States Sen
ate. His attitude toward tho other
, nations of the world is one that has
brought the United States Into con
tempt, and American citizens every
where are crying out against the
weakness that has characterized the
present administration In Its foreign
diplomacy. Just now the feeling of
resentment toward the administration
throughout this country centers In
the position of the President and those
who support him In the matter of the
Panama Canal tolls.
■' But thia Is not all of It. His
""watchful waiting" policy regarding
Mexico, his breaking down of wise
safeguards In the development of the
peoples of the Philippines, his send
ing of weak men to represent the
United States in the foreign capitals,
and his apparent Indifference to the
up fortunate spread of a contemptuous
sentiment among foreigners respect
ing this Republic, are the last straws
which have broken the silence that
has been maintained for sevei -I
months out of consideration for a
new administration which had not yet
developed its policies.
Manifestly, however, the members
of the United States Senate who are
familiar with the conditions at home
and abroad have reached the con
clusion that the time has come to
speak the truth about the Wilson ad
ministration, whether the present oc
cupant of the White House likes it or
not.
Congressman Pa.mer thinks It ter
rible that Mr. Ryan should have used
his visit to Scranton for political pur
poses, and then follows his tirade with
a "formal statement" to the press tell
ing the public what a great man Mr.
Palmer Is. Thus Is dignity preserved
and the Jewel of consistency given a
new Betting.
DECENT SIDEWALKS
CITY COMMISSIONER LYNCH is
on the right line in an ordinance j
which was Introduced this week
providing for some uniformity j
In the construction of sidewalks in this
city. For years the property owner
was permitted to do pretty much as he
pleased In this matter and It Is about
time a decent regulation should be
provided. In these days of granolithic
sidewalks it would seem to be unneces-,
Bary to construct brick walks, which 1
are ■ neither comfortable nor safe,
inasmuch as they are a nuisance in
wet weather and dangerous in the
frosty season.
There has been {or years an utter
disregard of ordinary good citizenship
in some sections of the city with re
spect to sidewalk facilities and it is not
fair that thoso who provide proper
walks should be compelled to tramp
through mud and slush along the
property frontage of Indifferent or
careless owners.
The Industrial Workers of the World
are living up to their name. They are
trying to "work the world" for a free
living.
GROWTH OE THE CITY
THE growth of the city northward
to Rockville Is inevitable and
the Riverside people who are
proposing that all that territory
lying between Division street and the
Rockville bridge on one hand and the
...River and the railroad on the other be
annexed to Harrisburg are moving In
the right direction. The traction com
pany has recognized the rapid growth
of this section by extending its lines, to
Rockville and real estate is very active
throughout the district.
Harrisburg is, for the most part, a
closely built up city and where land is
still vacant the prices are so high that
building is often discouraged. With
the territory north of Division street
a part of the city there would be no
more unimproved property in the West
End than was the case when the Tenth
ward came In, comprising as it did uil
of the district between Maclay and
Division streets. The rapidity with
which this ward has been improvec'
tinder city rule has been marked, an''
what were a few years ago broad fieidt
THURSDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG gjSBSg TELEGRAPH MARCH 19,1914
are to-day well built thoroughfares,
having all of the Improvements of the
older sections of town.
By the very nature of things Har
risburg cannot grow a great deal In
population except by annexation. The
bigger the city the more effective can
be made the central government and |
the more the people will receive for
their taxes. Therefore, it Is hard to
j understand why any of the small j
: towns adjoining Harrisburg persist in 1
their own necessarily very limited
I governmental benefits and regulations.,
'it would seem the part of wisdom to |
I do what the people of the Tenth ward j
and the Thirteenth have done—come
I into the city and enjoy its conveni
ences.
Wllkes-Barre, through the News of
that city, offers the suburb of Parsons
the following advantages if It becomes
a part of the city, and Harrisburg
could do the same for Riverside, as It
has for the Thirteenth ward in the
past year or two:
• First —A new Are house, Are com
pany, entfine and equipment.
Second—Mere policemen and bet
ter service.
Third—Sewers.
Fourth—A new school building
] which is needed.
j Fifth—Extend the gas mains
there.
Sixth—Car transfers to all parts
of the city.
Seventh—A fire alarm system.
Eighth—Street paving and side
walks. , ,
Ninth—Better supervision over
the schools, streets and grade
crossings. _ ,
Tenth—A department of health
Eleventh —District nurses. United
Charities, etc.
Twelfth—A Chamber of Com
merce. „ ~
Thirteenth—The privilege of the.
children attending the high school.
Fourteenth —More arc lights In
the streets and alleys.
Fifteenth—The reducing of lire
insurance by better protection.
There can be no doubt about his ad
mirable equipment for the Important
position to which he has been appointed
by the Public Service Commission,
which has entrusted F. Herbert. Snow
with the duty of organizing, as chief,
the engineering bureau of the commis
sion's activities. As head of the divi
sion of engineering of the State Health
Department, Mr. Snow has given fine
service, and has earnestly co-operated
with Dr. Samuel G. Dixon In his groat
work as the conservator of the health
of Pennsylvania. For several years
Mr. Snow has been a citizen of Har
risburg and active in Its civic develop
ment.
Wonder what little four by nine
country will be the next to make faces
at Uncle Sam without anything hap
pening to it.
JUDGE KUNKEI/S CANDIDACY
THAT Judge George Kunkel is an
important factor to be reckoned
with In the pending contest for
the Supreme Court judgeship
vacancy to be filled at the Fall elec
tions, is becoming more and more ap
parent. While Judge Kunkel an
nounced his candidacy later by some
weeks than several others who are
seeking nomination, the readiness with
which his petitions have been signed
by men of all parties in a large num
ber of counties Indicates that his
strength is State-wide.
This is not surprising in view of the
prominence Judge Kunkel attained In
the recent Capitol trials. Faced by the
brightest criminal lawyers in the State,
sharply opposed at every turn by keen
minds of th 6 legal profession and fully
realizing that the eyes of . the whole
State were on Harrisburg, Judge Kun
kef so conducted the suits that not
only were the verdicts in each of the
cases sustained by the Supreme Court,
but every one of his numerous rulings
on complex points of law were up
held.
The results of these now famous
cases gave Judge Kunkel high prestige
among lawyers and the laity alike, and
a reputation for legal ability and per
sonal integrity second to none in Penn
sylvania. It is not surprising then
that Ills candidacy has met ready and
widespread attention.
It is quite natural that Thaw should
turn up again with the coming of
Spring. Other paragraphers please
copy.
PARENTS AT FAULT
! ATTT? boys were arrested for rob-
I erles in Montgomery and Deta
il ware counties covering a con
siderable period and at their
hearing yesterday one of the lads
blamed the "movies" for their plig" .
He said they had received their in
spiration from pictures of robberios
and "wild west" performances and
tl.j other boys nodded their heads in
agreement.
The fault is j;ours, said Captain
Donahgy, addressing the parents
while he was ori the stand. You
don't know what they are doing.
You let them go out at night. You
don't know where they are going,
and the result is they do things
that get them into trouble just like
this. Make comrades of your boys.
Keen a better watch on them.
Show them the errors of their
ways, and teach them the difference
between wrong in boyish pranks
and what is right.
I have a very friendly feeling for
your boys, and 1 can realize what It
means for them to be In this
trouble. The only way you can
keep them out of trouble is to keep
them home and away from the
moving picture shows that produce
such dreadful results through pic
tures depicting crime.
The moving picture shows have
come to stay and wo believe they are
bound to be instrumental in the
proper education of the masses, but
It is plainly evident that there must
be a strict censorship, as has now
been provided by Pennsylvania, of the
films to be used in these popular play
houses. Crime and moral filth and
everything of that sort must be elimi
nated for the good of the moving pic
ture houses and particularly for the
welfare of the community.
Our municipal officials are pushing
along rapidly the necessary prepara
tions for active business on the first of
April, and It is expected that every
thing will be humming before the blue
bird arrives.
tUNCHOT PIFFLE
WHILE Glfford Plnchot was
telling the voters of South
Dakota on Tuesday that the
Republican party is "hope
lessly spilt" in Pennsylvania, thou
sands of Progressives were enrolling in
this State under their old party colors,
and thousands more of Republicans
who had been neglectful of enroll
ment last Fall were putting their
names to the blanks entitling them to
vote at the primaries in May.
( Democratic organs are making an
effort to have the impression prevail
that the enrollment has resulted in a
great Increase of Democratic voters.
It would be strange if Democrats did
( not qualify at this time, with the bit
terest inter-party war of years in
i progress, the Ryanltes getting out
| their friends and the McCormlckltes
just as busy trying to make a showing
with theirs. Yet it is at once apparent
, that the increase of Democrats on the
. enrollment lists Is as nothing com
i pared with those who have announced
i their intention of voting the Repub
lican ticket at the primaries. This is
all the more remarkable because of
the fact that neither Senator Penx - ose
nor Mr. Dlmmick, the only two con
i testants on the Republican side, made
any serious attempt to follow the ex
| ample of Ryan and McCormlck in
lining up voters.
Both the Democrats and Mr. Pln
chot may as well understand that
their strength this year will ngt be
augmented by desertions from the
Republican ranks. On the other hand,
there is every evidence of the Pro
gressive party going rapidly to pieces,
and the natural drift Is back to the
Republican fold. The Democrats are
living on false hopes If they are basing
their campaign on the thought of
drawing many votes from either the
Progressives or the Republicans, and
from far off Dakota Plnchot's address
sounds much like a wall of despair.

The late John Y. Boyd, who made
the bequest of *IOO,OOO for the Insti
tutional work of Pine Street Presby
terian Church for men and boys, had
long contemplated substantial aid for
such work and several years ago dur
ing visits to New York and some of
the larger cities made inquiries as to
the manner in which such lines of
church activity were conducted. Sev
eral ministers In charge of movements
to interest men and boys in church
affairs were consulted by him and
more than once he expressed himself
as desirous of working out some prac
tical plan of making good citizens of
people who did not have advantages
at home or when they were young. In
conversation with friends in this city
he said that he thought the church
with its organizations for work among
the nonchurchgoing people and the
example of people who devoted many
hours to such labors with recompense
was the vehicle to get practical results.
There Is a great field for church
work I mean the church work that
will lead men and boys to become
good, substantial citizens and heads of
homes in every sense of the word —In
Harrisburg," said he upon one occa
sion. "This community has a large
American population and a large for
eign population and there are many
who have to go to work at an early
age and who miss some influences
which migh't enter into their lives for
the better some time or other. Ido
not know exactly in what form a
movement should be launched to reach
them, to Interest them and to help
them, but the field is here and the
people are here." Mr. Boyd was keenly
Interested In movements to reach boys
especially and he said that the place
to start after them was right here at
home.
Squire John H. Strock, clerk to the
County Commissioners, has been a
mighty proud grandpa ever since the
current issue of the Woman's Home
Companion made its appearance a few
days ago. There's a reason. A double
page of the magazine is given over to
reproductions of nearly a hundred
smiling, chubby baby faces—faces of
youngsters from all over the country
who won prizes for perfection In baby
hood. And among the 99 per cent,
raters Is the tiny grandson of Squire
Strock. The magazine each year offers
something like SIO,OOO In SIOO prizes
for the best babies and the very young
Mr. Strock was entered In the contest.
So he pulled down one of the SIOO
prizes. Not that this is unusual. Some
time ago he won a cash prize of sls
and a silver medal at the New Jersey
State Fair baby show. So he's rather
blase about it, particularly when he
recalls that just because he was born
April 1 a lot of his father's friends
joyously called him "father's April-fool
baby." Not because it's especially In
teresting, perhaps, since this Is a story
about a prize baby, but because It
might please the home folks, It may
he well to mention that John Junior
is a son of the Rev. and Mrs. Harry
J. Strock. The former Is a son of
Squire Strock. He Is now assistant pas
tor at the First Presbyterian Church,
Pittsburgh. Mrs. Strock was Miss
Katherine Reily, this city. Squire
! Strock carries the Companion around
in his hip pocket.
Once in a while Private Conscience
gets into action and he does it effect
ively. Yesterday a man interested In
one of the city's big corporations, one
which has considerable real estate, got
a dollar bill. It was sent to him by
one of the employes, who stated that
probably ten years ago a man had
rented a piece of property owned by
the company for a fruit stand. The
rent was nominal, but the man beat
the company out of some rent. Not
long ago a letter came from the man
stating that he had "gotten religion"
and had become a minister. Ho sent
the dollar as rent due and was with
difficulty dissuaded from sending T5
cents for Interest.
Members of the Legislature have
been visiting the city quite frequently
lately. Most of them are Interested in
the campaign that Is coming on and
they are rather keen on finding out
whether anyone has taken out paper*
for their districts. In fact, about every
other stranger that appears on Capl.
tol Hill seeks out the State Depart
ment to talk about nominating pe
titions.

DEMOCRATIC TRICKERY
[Philadelphia Press.]
If any Democratic platform fools
the country hereafter It will be be
i cause the country Isn't looking. Those
Baltimore declarations have turned
out to be most shameless and inde
feasible trickery.
DR. BRUIUIBMIGH IS
STRONG IN COUNTY
Enrollment of Republicans Heavy
and He It Being Mnch
Commended Here
DEMOCRATIC WAR GROWS
Bitterness Between Factions Is
Going to Make Reconcilia
tion Impossible
Republicans from the boroughs and
townships of Dauphin county who are
coming to the city with stories of big
enrollment of Republicans and of re
turn of Bull Moosers to their former
party allegiance say that the candi
dacy of Dr. Martin O. Brumbaugh has
i struck a responsive chord all over the
| county and that he will secure a big
| vote in November. Ordinarily, predic
tions in March about what will happen
in November are to be taken cau
tiously, but men who are in touch with
the situation in the county say that
beyond all question Dr. Brumbaugh
has strength that will stick by him
through thick and thin.
The Brumbaugh letter with its
straightforward, progressive state
ments has taken away the last chance
the Democrats had of doing anything
in the county. To begin with, the
Democrats are in a sad way over the
factional contest which will make dif
ferences which cannot be reconciled
and friends of McCormick hoped that
he would make headway among Re
publicans and Washingtonlans by his
platform, ..although they realized the
grievous mistake of his threat to re
vise the rules of the Legislature if
elected executive. Brumbaugh's letter
is so much more progressive and con
tains so much more common sense
that It is accepted not only by Repub
licans, but by Democrats and Pro
gressives as well, as the right kind of
an utterance.
The Philadelphia Inquirer of to-day
says: "A crisis was yesterday reached
In the Democratic flght for the nomi
nation for Governor.
"Michael J. Ryan, the
Democratic city solicitor, upon his
Viarfare Is return from Scranton
Getting Hot yesterday had scarcely
finished telling of the
ovation given him in
that city before the telegraph wires
from the Electric City of Northeastern
Pennnsylvania were flashing a hot
message from Congressman A. Mitchell
Palmer, leader of the anti-Ryan move
ment, in which he characterized Mr.
Ryan's candidacy as a 'Democratic
danger.'
"The bitterness that has been en
gendered In the combat for this nomi
nation between Mr. Ryan and former
Mayor Vance McCormick, of Harris
burg,, has split the State Democracy in
twain and threatens to result In a
condition of Democratic disorgan
ization that will make it impossible for
the factions to get together after the
primary elections on May 19."
Senator Penrose started on his first
trip into the State as an avowed
candidate for United States senator
yesterday, going to Al
»"Mia from Philadel
phia, and will visit sev- Penrose On
eral points in Blair and Visit to
Jefferson counties and the Center
then go into Clearfield
county,. He will remain
In the central section of the State
until next Saturday night.
Senator Penrose was met at the sta
tion on his arrival at Altoona by a
delegation of nearly one hundred citi
zens, who escorted him to the Logan
House, where a reception in his honor
had been arranged. His callers in
cluded well-known business men and
active Republicans of Altoona and
Blair county. Until nearly midnight
he was busy receiving visitors. To-day
the senator is at Punxsutawney.
Democratic affairs in the city and
county are not going well. Herr Moes
lein is not the magnetic campaigner
that he used to be In
years when he was not a
candidate and some of Democratic
the old-timers and the Affairs in
first voters are inclined Snarl Here
to buck against voting
for men who grab off
nominations for themselves on pleas of
reorganizing the party. The "citizens"
commltee which has been using Demo
cratic State headquarters as a meeting
place to plan out each day's scouring
of the city for signatures to McCor
mick petitions is having trouble and
last night formed a "man to a block"
club to help bear the burden. This
club was appropriately organized in
the office building where McCormick
does business. Many Democrats are
in revolt against McCormick In Steel
ton and while they are not for Ryan
they are against bosses. In the Lykens
Valley Democratic bosses been
unable to line up many men. The
slating of Lybarger for one of the city
legislative nominations has made a
number of friends of Marshall and
Shammo sore.
"The selection of Pisk Goodyear for
the Carlisle postmastership was the
dumbest piece of politics the Democratic
bosses have been guilty
of in a long time," was
Post Office the way a Cumberland
Makes Split county observer com-
In Carlisle mented upon the ap
polntment to-day.
"Goodyear," said he, "is
not popular and his selection will sim
ply start a Ryan movement. Up to
date the county has been for McCor
mick. There has been no disguising
that. And now they've got a lot of
Influential men up In the air over the
post office." Goodyear's appointment
had been expected after the primaries.
Joe Totten. the State commiteeman,
had been mentioned for the place.

GRIEST ON BRUMBAUGH
There is no more accurate observ
er of political tread than Congress
man W. W. Grlest, of Lancaster. This
is his opinion of Dr. Brumbaugh:
"Doctor Brumbaugh will be Pennsyl
vania's next governor. No better man
can be nominated by the party. He
will sweep Lancaster county both In
the primary and in the election. He
will appeal to the business man, the
farmer, the manufacturer and the
worklngman. His platform Is a docu
ment that any man might be proud of.
He has left nothing unsaid on State
issues, and his views will be accepted
throughout Pennsylvania. Doctor
Brumbaugh will make the State an
Ideal governor, and In the event of his
election, which I believe is assured,
he will enter upon his office unham
pered and prepared to carry out every
pledge. He will prove to be as great
a governor as he has been an educa
tor. His handling of the school ques
tion has stamped him as a great ad
ministrator and has fitted him for the
higher honor tie now seelis-''

STOP HARRYING THE INNOCENT
[Philadelphia Ledger.] .
Trade and business are filing their
answer to President Wilson. From one
end of the land to the other commer
cial bodies are rising in protest against
any more aenemlc-bralned and re
strictive legislation.
No demand has come from any
where for more trade-killing laws ex
cept from the mouths of cheap dema
gogues who expect to make votes by
it. On the contrary, there is In all
parts of the country a desire for in
dustrial peace. From every section
comes a cry for financial repose.
As a vote-getting game, the assaults
on business should be played out. Such
assaults no longer appeal to the labor
er, tens of thousands <t whom are
Idle on account of them.
There is no crime committed by
business or In the name of business
that cannot be punished In existing
courts under existing law. If . the
government knows of any guilt, let It
send the guilty to Jail, but to do that
it Is not necessary to harry the whole
country with elaborate and foolish
legislation.

McFAIU.A.M) SUGGESTS THAT
BIG CITIES BE] STATES
Writing on "Shall Our Great Cities
Be Made States?" In the February Is
sue of the American City, J. Horace
McFarlarid, of this city, president of the
American Civic Association, says that
cities of a million or more population
should be given a separate entity. He
says at one place:
'■l live In Pennsylvania, of which
Philadelphia Is the great city. Time
and again the influence of that city in
the State Legislature has done dama
age to the rest of the btate.
"I am sure Harrisburg would be bet
ter off aB the State capital, and Penn
sylvania as a State wpuld be better off,
without Philadelphia.
HEADSTONES
Never have these small memorial markers been
so widely employed as they are to-day.
Luckenbill headstones possess the finest quality
of marble or granite; the simplicity of design and
richness of execution—all of which combine to pro
duce the desired artistic effect.
Luckenbill markers cost no more than others.
A variety of completed stones ready for setting
will help you in your selection. A post card
brings representative or catalog.
