SOS FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 20 ; PINCHOT IN DAKOTA GIFFORD PINCHOT, the slate i Progressive candid: te f • United .states Senater in Penn sylvania, who feels his party bllpplng beneath his feet, indulged in I 6. lot of criticism of former dlstln- i eruished Progressives in a speech in South Dakota this week. He men tioned Cummins, Bristow, Borah, liadley and LaFollette —"calling themselves Progressive Republicans" •—as the leaders of the movement back to the Republican party and characterized them in the usual fash ion of the heretic. Hi" whole argu ment was that he and those imme diately associated with him are t e only real leaders if the people; that Cummins was hopelessly out of touch tvith the political thought of the day; that Borah had earned the contempt of all men who believe that principles are things to stand by; that " :rlstovv had broken his own career because he was afraid to stand with the men With whom he had worked and fought year after year; that Had ley, the Roosevelt floor leader in the great fight at ChVago, was a traitor to Roosevelt and was in reality preparing the ground for his own nomination, that LaFollette is a livin example and warning of the inward corrodl g power of hate. Once more Pincliot declared, "I am through with the Republican party for good and all." And this is the type of political reformers who a»e going about the country decrying the uafe and sane and decent policies of patriotic men of all partb In order to further their own ambitions. Mr. Plnchot will discover before the cam paign of 1914 shall have come to a close that his abuse of men who are striving to reunite in harmony and for the support of enduring principles the two wings of the Republican party is resented and that far from being out of touch with the Itieal thought of the day they are respond ing to the real sentiment of the rank and file of the great armies which were in two camps in 1912, but which will be found fighting under r. j same banner this yeai. It Is to be expected that men like Pinchot will strive to keep ip e Re publican division for their own pur poses, but they are pulling against a Btream whose current is becoming etronger and stronger day by day. From all parts of the country protests are going up among Democrats against the Interference of President Wilson In Htate nominations and party activities. There has been no more flagrant viola tion of ordinary ethics in this respect than Is presented by the situation In Pennsylvania, where the President lias BHumed to dictate the Democratic nominees. No occupant of the White House has ever attempted the role of absolute dictator In the same fashion as President Wilson. It is little wonder' that members of his party are revolting ' cvsrywhere. The President's railing Bgalnst bos.sism and the fruits thereof i* as inconsistent as It is Indefensible. There are mutterliigs all over the coun try, and the Jolt which has come to the administration In Tennessee is simply a surface Indication of what Is going on beneath. TOO BAD! JUST when 'he self-chosen candi dates of the reorganized Democ racy Imagined there would be clear sailing for them in the race this year along oomes a strong, virile,' fori i tul figure who destroys their air castles and stands forth as a real champion of the people. Dr. Martin Q. Brumbaugh If- a type of the best' citizenship of Pennsylvania and his announced candidacy for the Republi can gubernatorial nomination has been so widely approved 'y men of all parties that there is panic in the camp of the opposition. Not being able to attack him In any other way they are now ringing the changes on his platform in which he declared that he has no entangling alliances of anV eort. They would have it appear that Bomehow some time Dr. Rru ibaugh, if chosen Governor, might be the creature of u machine other than the Democratic machine; that he might not be responsive to the inliuences .which are now dominating a section . J ■ , / • • ' ■■ ■. \ - • FRIDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH MARCH 20, 1914. ' the Democratic party d some of those who were formerly icontlfled with the Republican party; that he would do the bidding of other men and would not be the keeper of his own conscience. Thus the opposition to Dr. Brum baugh attempts to belittle him In the eyes of the people and twist the thought of the voters 'n this mean way. But the light is breaking an.. the day of the demagogue and the fake reformer is about at an end In this "Imperial Commonwealth" about which Mr. Palmer and his little group prate so constantly of their love and devotion and paternal oversight. ' While the primary is a wide->. pen proposition in this State, the attitude of the setf-chosen candidates of other ' parties toward Dr. Brumbaugh is in defensible and the spirit of fair play I which actuates a large majority of the citizens of Pennsylvania is going to find expression In a wall >p at the No vember election which will end for many years to come the hvpocrisy and false pretense which have given a If w men a little fleeting attention. It's too bad thit the dreams of the a' bitious little men have been so rudely shattered! Of course, Riverside. Lynchvllie and Lucknow must eventually become part of Harrisburg, and the educational campaign now on for the annexation of those districts is the inevitable develop ment of a proper suburban spirit. For this reason it is important that the proposed City Planning Commission become a fact, to the end that the street lines and grades of the adjacent terri tory shall be in harmony with the present municipal lines and grades so that in the future there shall not) be wasted thousands of dollars in correct ing the mistakes of careless suburban development. If one may judge from the frantic and frenzied denunciation of Michael J. Ryan by the reorganization faction, the fenr of the primary result In the Demo cratic gubernatorial shindy is gripping the hearts of the White House selec tions. FAVORING THE FOREIGNER PRESIDENT WOODROW WIL SON is strongly opposed in his support of the repeal of the free Panama Canal tolls by William C. Corgas, the sanitary engineer who cleaned up the isthmus. He said: Any attempt to repeal the free tollf bill is a groat mistake, unless the treaty with Great Britain has finally been Interpreted as forbid . ding such an exemption in favor of American shipping. The fact that we have but a few ocean-going pnd vessels now is unimportant. We have plenty of shipyards and plenty of •capital to build a fleet of any size, if the Government makes the condi tions attractive. If It takes a ton nage of 60.000,000 to carry the Great Lakes traffic, it is only rea sonable to assume that it will take much more to handle the transpor tation of goods between the two Beaboards. Americans are almost forced to the conclusion that the Wilson adminis tration is more interested In pleasing the foreign nations than giving proper consideration to the vital wel fare of Uncle Sam. Our flamboyant friend, A. Nevln Det rich, chairman of the Washington party State committee, is out in another of his fulminatlons against the Republi can party. He seems to be pained over the fact that Dr. Brumbaugh did not come out In some sort of a red-hot pro nouncement against Senator Penrose and pretends to believe that this omis sion must end any hope that Or. Brum baugh might have had of consideration by the third party recalcitrants. Mr. Detrich is still determined "to smash the machine." but he should be carefu* that in his strenuous efforts his artil lery doesn't do more damage In the rear than In front. OUR FISH SUPPLY PENNSYLVANIANS should bo In hearty accord with the two bills recently introduced In Congress to place under Federal regulative control the waters of the Chesapeake bay and the broad rivers, including the Susquehanna, which empty into it. The Governor of Maryland is at the head of the movement back of these measures, and his object is well worth the attention of every Pennsyl vanian interested In the fisheries of the State, since we would bonefit therefrom almost as muiih as the peo ple of Maryland. The bills are designed to protect the flHh supply of the bay and rivers and to increase the value of the streams as food producers. Short sighted and unscrupulous fishermen and engineers careless of results other than those they wished to attain have well nigh ruined fishing in the Susque hanna, a stream that used to draw hundreds upon hundreds of Indians from all parts of Central Pennsylvania to lay up a supply for winter use. Fewer fisli are now caught annually hereabouts In a whole season than used to be taken In a week. Anything that can be done to pro tect the fish that are left and give them opportunity to multiply and get into the, headwaters of the Susque hanna and other streams emptying into the Chesapeake bay Is deserving of serious consideration. All credit to the hustling automobile men, who have given Harrisburg a show that is worth whl'e Those who have not yet visited the One exhibition •it the Arena ought not tn miss the op portunity' to-day and to-morrow. United Ptates Senators Borah. Cum mins and La Foilette, who were berated by Clifford P'nchot at Huron, in South Dakota, refuse to discuss the" attack, but Intimate that they haven't time to bother "every time a little satellite opens his mouth." An Italian astronomer believes the moon Is oval. Maybe he looked at It after eating a dish of spaghetti and green cheese. If this Weather keeps up we'll lose our faith in the and the first bluoblrd.

Rambo, the super intendent of public grounds and build ings, and the average man probably does not realize that the superintend | ent haa every tree plotted and has re ports on its condition just like the superintendent of a telephone com pany keeps tabs on his pole lines. In fact, Capitol Park is divided into hor ticultural divisions and the exact place i ol each tree is marked off and detailed j information about it always at hand. A couple of times a year an inspection of ail of the trees is made and after every severe storm the whole park is j gone over. Since Mr. Ramuo haß been i m charge he has replaced many of the | old-timers among tue trees and there i has been a diminution of the "soft ] topped" trees, which are the most liable to injury from high winds and ( which show the effects of wear and tear quicker than the stronger trees. The plane tree, about which one reads a good bit, haa been introduced into the park in the last hall'-dozen years and there has been an effort to com bine ornate trees and at the same time to get those of a durable nature. In the last few days arrangements have been made whereby the State will get the services ol' highly trained men from its own State College, A. W. Col well, the head of the scnool of horti culture, having been selected to give expert advice on the handling of the trees. Mr. Colwell is a man of years of experience in tree management and the State will save money by the plan. It is the idea to send men hero from State College to look after such trees as need "surgical" treatment andXto nave the whole 401 gone over sys tematically and such as are old and worn are to be replaced, while sucb as need pruned will be cared for in the most approved style. Heretofore the State has spent large sums for this work, but by the new plan it is saving money and getting the men from its best school just for the actual expense. Speaking about the Capitol trees, there are probably as many different varieties of trees in the State s park as in most of the arboretuins of the country. For years an effort has been made to get not only the trees in digenous to Pennsylvania, but those common to this part of the country. Some trees of other climes, notably th& •umbrella tree," along Third street just below Pine street, and the orange trees are also to be seen, but the park people years ago sneciallzed on native trees and some splendid specimens are to be seen. Probably when the park extension is accomplished steps will be taken to have every tree marked and those of a class put together so that students and tree lovers can study them, a work which would hardly be worth while now, as great changes will come in the Capitol Park some day. , Tillinghast, the noted Phila delphia golfer, was here yesterday for ii short time, visiting the links of the Country Club of Harrisburg, where he outlined the improvements for this vear. Mr. Tillinghast has played golf with almost every notable in the golling w'otid, Ray and Vardon having been his guests at the Shawnee courso last summer. He has visited almost every course of any account east of the Rockies and played on famous courses in England and Scotland. He laid out the new Aronomink and Pine \ alley courses near Philadelphia and the Shawnee course up along the Dela ware. While here Mr. Tillinghast talked golf with W'illiamC. Fownes, Sr. of Pittsburgh, who has been visiting here, and who has played over the famous courses of this country and Scotland. The eighty bags of mall sent out a few days ago from the division of distribution of public documents by parcel post are but the start of the business of that branch of the State government. Dr. James M. Eslor, the chief, is systematizing the enormous distribution work of the publications of Father Penn and some big diffi culties have had to be overcome. The inauguration of parcel post for the documents will save the Common wealth hundreds of dollars a month, especially in rush periods, when docu ments go out by the dozen tons. It Is astonishing the number of an. tomobiles that have been taken out of garages and tuned up for the Spring and summer this week. The week started off with people having hopes that the close of last week meant the coming of Spring and the fine weather of St. Patrick's day was what started things. Men who had begun to fear that it would be April before they v could sit at the steering wheel again havte been rejoicing the last few days In spins. The weather has not been very good and along the Susquehanna the icy winds blow, but the snow has gone and there is good running about the city and along the State road. kwgtL-Known^peopi^q —Frank Gunnison, of Erie, has re turned from California for a trip for his health. —General Charles Miller was one of the witnesses in behalf of a dry city for Franklin in the Venango court. —J.

IJonner, of Philadelphia, has» been elected head oif the big Manufacturers Water Company of Johnstown. AN INVINCIBLE CANDIDATE [Altoona Tribune] Dr. Brumbaugh makes it quite plain that he Is announcing his candidacy in the Interest of no boss and of no machine. Those who know the char acter of the man are under no appre hension concerning his conduct as the head of this great commonwealth In the event of his nomination and elec tion. For many years since hf arrived at maturity he has ever been found advocating the policies and defending the principles that tend to promote the welfare of the people and the F a' Ulty of the State. He his constant ly breathed an air uncongenial to per sonal role and the ugly and poison ous things that are fatal to the success lof any party which permits them to 'dominate its life. Equally clear and unmistakable Is his attitude toward the really live Is sues of the present. He believes in local option, which is merely another name for the referendum. He is con vinced that the attitude of each com munity to the licensed saloon should determine the question of license or no license. He believes in the rule of the majority on the liquor problem as well as all others and if the people send a majority of advocates of local option to the State Legislature and that majority enact a local option meas use, he will promptly sign It if he Is In the executive chair. He is like wise favorable to the aspirations of as piring American womanhood and to other vital reforms in important de partments of the commonwealth. In short, he is a typical twentieth cen tury American, a representative oennsylvanlan 'n sympathy with the irinclples which are essential to the continued development of our grout commonwealth. DEMOCRATS' STITE COMMITTEE CULL Will Meet Here on Tuesday, April 14, to Revise the Rules and Maybe to Fight DEPENDS ON THE PHRASES Billy Brennen Takes His Shillalah in Hand and Bangs a Few Bosses' Heads Members of the Democratic State | committee will be summoned to meet iin this city on Tuesday, April 14, to act on the report of the committee in charge of revision of the rules and it will be strange If something does not I break loose. | \ For months a committee in charge ;of rule revision has been working and the bosses have been reluctant to call a meeting of the committee, feeling that if it should be held, men identi fied with one faction or another would make an effort to jam through an en dorsement of a candidate. A great deal will depend upon the manner in which State Chairman Morris words the call. If he restricts it to action on rules there will be smooth sailing, but if he leaves the way open there will be something doing. Commodore W. J. Brennen has an nounced his candidacy for chairman of the Allegheny county Democrats with a snappy state ment in which he Billy Brennen says that Vance Mc- Whiu ks Hoß.se. CormlCi is a Prohi in Statement bitionist and not a Democrat and in the language of one of the Pittsburgh newspapers "uses his shillalah on his antagonists." Bren nen says that while he acted as chair man in the past the "party in no in stance suffered such disastrous defeats as have characterized its management in the last two years." Brennen com pares the 1908 campaign with the 1912 tight handled by Joseph F. Guffey. In 11908, 35,656 votes were polled for Wil liam J. Bryan and in 1912 Woodrow Wilson received 31,417 in the county, and Brennen says at least 6,000 of these votes were cast by Republi cans. in this merry war Brennen saya: "The Guffey-Martin executive commit tee refused to indorse the, Democratic candidates for judge of the Superior Court, the Hon. Webster Grim, and mailed cards of direction to the voters of this county omitting his name. This was political treachery. lam against the nomination of Vance C. McCor mick because he represents opposi tion to the principle of personal liberty; because he wants to turn over to the Republicans of Pennsylvania the pub lic charities. I am against Vance C. McCormlck because as mayor of Har risburg he not only failed as a Demo crat, but as a mayor. I am against Vance C. McCormick because he fought, bolted and betrayed the Demo cratic party In 1910, as well as Wil liam J. Bryan in all his campaigns, and turned in his newspaper against Democratic candidates." As to B. B. McGlnnis, lately in the limelight, Brennen says; "I charge that was a candidate for appoint ment by Governor John K. Tener as registration commissioner of Pitts burgh. I charge the alleged chairman, Joseph F. Guffey, tried to have him appointed by Governor Tenet - as a reg istration commissioner." The game of grabbing endorsements by Democratic committees in the wards of Philadelphia goes merrily on. Last night Ryan bagged four, mak- ing his score about Endorsements 30 and McCormick and Votes In got one, making his Big Campaign score about 19. The one ward co> littee which was counted for McCormick was claimed to be loaded and that only McCormick men got notices. The membership la ninety and less than forty were on hand. This ward voted 2,130 Democrats in 1912. Ryan got endorsements of these ward commit tees: First, 004 Democratic votes in 1912; Twenty-sixth, 2,251 votes; Thir ty-fifth, 547 votes and Forty-sixth, 2,- 388 votes. The 1912 Democratic votes of counties lately in the limelight were as follows: Tioga. 1,901; Potter, 1,- 445; McKcan, 2,362, and Bradford, 2,- 900. In view of the activities of Collector of the Port William H. Berry in the Democratic campaign, the following article from the Phil adelphia Record is in- Klcli on teresting: "As a pro- Kerry on test against the parti tl j Stumy san activities of Col lector of the Port Wil liam H. Berry in mak- j ing a stumping tour through the State, j Frederick H. Maclntire, of this city, wrote" yesterday to Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo, calling his atten tion to the Civil Service regulations concerning Federal officeholders in politics.
