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

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

enough to bo mayor. She wasn't re
ferring to Harrisburg, however.

There are Just 401 trees in Capitol
I Park, according to the records in the
j office of Samuel B. 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.

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. Mr, Maclntire, who has been
identified with the Keystone party
since its inception, was an ardent sup
porter of Berry when he was a candi
date for governor In 1910."

A Teacher's Creed
1 believe In boys and girls, the men
?i?x w ° me n of a great to-morrow;
that whatsoever the boy soweth the
man shall reap. I believe in the curse
or Ignorance, in the efficacy of schools,
in the dignity of teaching, and in the
joy of,serving another. I believe in
wisdom as revealed in human lives,
as well as in the page of a printed
Book; in lessons taught not so much
by precept as by example; in ability
to work with the hands as well as to
think with the ht-ad; in everything
that makes life large and lovelv. I
believe in beauty Iti the school room,
in the home, in daily life, and out of
doors. I believe in laughter, in love,
in all ideals and distant hopes that
lure us on. X believe that every hour
of every day we receive a just reward
for all we are and all we do. I believe
in the present and its opportunities,
in the future and its promises and in
the divine joy of living. Amen.

15* tL P°TT y ea, \ to - vear - I believe in hundred-bushel corn

I believe that the only good weed is a dead weed, and that a clean farm
is as important as a clear conscience. I believe in the farm boy and In the
farm girl, the farmers best crops and the future's best hope. I believe in
the farm woman, and will do all ln my power to make her life easier and
happier. I believe in a country school that prepares for country life and
a country church that teaches its people to love deeply and live honorably.
I believe in community spirit, a pride in home and neighbors, and I will
do my part to make my community the best in the State. I believe in the
farmer. I believe In farm life. I believe ln the inspiration of the open
country. I am proud to be a farmer and I will try earnestly to be worthy
of the name. —FRANK I. MANN.

The Country Boy's Creed
I believe that the country, which
, God made is more beautiful than the
city which man made; that life out
of doors and in touch with the earth
is the natural life of man. I believe
that work is work wherever we And
it, but that work with nature is more
inspiring than work with the most in
tricate machinery. I believe that the
dignity of labor depends not on what
you do, but on how you do it; that
opportunity comes to a boy on the
farm as often as to a boy in the city;
that life is larger and freer and hap
pier on the farm than in the town*
that my success depends not on my lo
cation, but upon myself—not upon my
dreums, but upon what X actually do
—not upon luck, but upon pluck. I
believe in working when you work,
and in playing when you play and in
giving and demahding a square deal
in every act of life.
