TM IS Pemoeratic orators who are> running about tho State beg ging voters to give the candi dates of the Reorganized 3'emooracy opportunity to "purify Pennsylvania'* would be much moro ironvtoeing if they first cleaned up their own premises. With tomgues tiiat cannot utter the Kvord Republican without the accom jmnltnenf of a villi tying adjective, in ihe language of the character assassin nnd with little regard for truth, these ; wen have attempted to besmirch the State Government at every opportun ity. "Graft" is one of their stock siouns and their favorite charge is that the Republican party has kept It6elf in power in this State by assess ing officeholders for campaign pur poses. "Give us the reins of government," they say, "and we will serve you well and honestly. Our motto is down with the machine and let the people rule." And while they are thus parading up and down the State, acclaiming their purity of purpose, their own State party organization is beintf charged at Washington with com pelling Post Office appointees to give up a portion of their salaries for Democratic campaign purposes. In a long article on the lirst page to-day tho independent Philadelphia H.edger has this to say relative to the part the Democratic organization has played in compelling York and Adams county postmasters to "give tip" money to the machine controlled by the Palmer-McCormick Democrats of the State: Further disclosures to-day in volved the Democratic State or ganization in Pennsylvania. It de veloped that an emissary of the State Democratic committee had obtained a signed contract from VV. B. Beisinger, the postmaster at Wrightsvllle, Pa., in which Reis inger, appointsd under the Wilson administration upon the recommen dation of Congressman A. R. Brod beck, of York, had agreed to pay 5 per cent, of his salary to the State committee annually. It is common observation that the busy housewife has little time to de vote to the criticism of her neighbors. iTsually it is the slattern of the com munity that trapes about spreading 111 reports while the dishes remain Imwashed and the cat licks the cream from the pitcher of her own uncleared Mining room table. The Democratic reorganizers will trio well to clean up their own little household before they ask to be en trusted with the work of renovating kiioh a large structure as that in which d-orettf? our State government. EXCELLENT DISCIIMJNE THE utility of the (ire drill was never better illustrated in this vicinity than yesterday when what at first appeared to lie a f-erious Are broke out in the large pub lic school building at lCo state religion will he introduced, as under the Ching dynasty, since religious free dom corresponds with th'e system of republicanism." This is only official confirmation of what observers have believed to be the definite policy of China's presi dent. Yuan has won a splendid repu tation for keeping his word and he has long been the friend of the foreign Christian missionary and the Chinese Christian. In the dark days uf the Boxer troubles it was Viceroy Yuan who not merely protected Christians from injury or insult in his own province, but who quietly conveyed the news to Washington, upon the strength of which the dispatch of troops to safe guard the legations was determined. Since then he has done many things for which Christian propagandists are properly grateful. But his most sig nal contribution in retention of the "open door" for Christianity is his decision, in face of political intrigue, that China shall not revert to the re actionary "ranks of nations shackled by the bonds of state religions. Without saying it, and while "saving his face" with the conservatives of China—who are a mighty host—Pres ident Yuan has paved the way for Christianity to become the dominant religion in China. Republicans all over Pennsylvania, without regr-d to their present party appellations, are preparing to give the Democracy all the fight It is looking for tills year. There is a disposition in all parts of the State to get together and forget the differences of the last few years. It is quite common nowa days to read in the newspapers of har mony conferences and the nomination of the same candidates on both the Re publican and Washington party tickets. With an open primary it is a compara tively easy matter to join forces with harmony in view. THi; BACKYARD GARDEN' THIS is the anniversary of our backyard garden editorial. We haven't much to say on the sub ject that we haven't said before, but that Is not going to prevent us from repeating. If we haven't any thing new to say, at least we have quite a large number of readers to whom we want to say it, and It won't hurt some of our readers to whom this backyard garden advice is an ola story to hear it again—especially if they are looking for a Spring tonic, and something that will help solve that much discussed and really serious problem—the high cost of living. Old winter has hung on later than usual, but the time is almost here when the first steps toward a garden !If we ar» to have one this must bo taken. The land on which Harrisburg now stands was for the most part in years gone by an im mense truck sarden. The land is fer tile and the backyards of the city could be made to yield handsome profits if Harrisburgers chose to turn the soil at their disposal to account. Xo rear yard is too small to cultivate. There are few houses that do not hav«. attached thereto sufficient space for the growing of onions, radishes, let tuce, tomatoes and a few beans or peas. It is remarkable how much can be crowded profitably into a small space if proper care is exercised. Have you ever noticed the Joy on the face of the suburbanite carting home an armful of plantß or a new hoe? Have you ever noted the fresh, health ful appearance of the man who tends regularly his own garden? Have you ever eaten at a table where none but home-grown vegetables were served, and noted how superior they are? And, finally, haven't you thought how nice it would be to have a garden of your own? Well, it is all up to you. Now is the. time. The backyard garden Is a big payer in health and satisfaction, and as for cutting down the "high cost of living"—well, if President "Wilson's new tariff were as certain of results he wouldn't need to be so much troubled about the prospects of re election as he appears just now. I EVENING CHAT I It's an ill wind that blows no one any good. When 'the blizzard came ■along some weeks ago and tied up things generally for the Pennsylvania Railroad men were In demand and the company called out all of the men on furlough and gave thein jobs, which. If rather hard, were nevertheless well paid for, and furnished employment at a time when it was needed. And some of the men were shipped about and kept busy for days after tho storm abated. And right here comes along the trouble at Pittsburgh. Men were needed and again the furloughed fel lows were told they could have Jobs If they wanted them. The company lias a list of every man who is laid off and the number has been rather large lately, so that when an emergency arises the men can be summoned and sent out for wrecks, clearing track 01 anything, being given the preference. The same plan is followed by other large employers who are sticking by the men who arc laid off. » There's a good bit of snow about the city yet in spite of the thaw which has caused the banks to disappear from many places. This was strikingly illustrated the other day when some building ma-terial which has been stored up town was moved. It was stored-so that the wind swept under it and underneath the stult was a large mass of ice, the remains of snow which had melted and been frozen again. Indeed, there.are many places, protected from the sun, where plenty of evidence of the big stonn can be found. And while we are about it hero is a good one told by a Harrisburger. lie said yesterday: "t have just had the comforting intelligence that in the lirst week of March when we were suffer ing from all kinds of weather and since a friend of mine down in the Argentine has been swimming and disporting himself in summer attire, lie says'that the summer down there lias been hot and that Christmas and New Year's days he spent working hard with fans and cool drinlvs." When the big timbers were moved from the pile on the Post Office lawn yesterday by the men in charge of the work there were found twenty-eight bottles which had been thrown or hid den under the beams. Why, no one can say, except the desire of a man who drains a bottle to hide it as soon as possible. There were twenty-one half-pints in the lot and four Quar ters. the others being pints. Judging from that assortment, there must have been considerable effort to escape the chilling blasts of winter in Walnut and other streets in the vicinity. You can tell that there was an auto mobile show held here by the number of new cars that have been buzzing about the city the last few days. Some fine new cars, exhibit stock, have beei. shown and they have been spotted by the "X" on the license plates. How ever, this is the season of the year when the new cars are coming in and there must be cither considerable money or excellent credit about the city. W. Frank Wheaton, of Wilkes-Barre. who appeared here yesterday in thfo argument against the State anthracite coal tax, is a former judge of Luzerne county. He was appointed and elected, but he found the charms of general practice and opportunity for engaging in legal battles more tempting than sitting on the bench. The former judge is well known here, as he is one of the leaders of the Luzerne bar and has appeared here in notable cases, particularly at tho Capitol. Among the petitions shown about the city yesterday was one in which every name was written in a peculiar style of Ink. There wss no doubting the genuineness of the signatures be cause they were distinctive enough, but the fact that they were all with the saaue ink caused someone to re mark that there might be someone who would say things. "Get out," re sponded the man with the paper affably. "That proves 1 got 'em all myself. That ink's from my own pen. They all used it to sign and 1 asked every one." WEIL KNOWN PEOPLE 1 —H.

BARRISBURG RFIFEFC TELEGRAPH BASfHMR WED OF FOn THE HOUSE The Millersburg Manufacturer May Run in the Second Legislative District DEMOCRATS ALL STIRRED UP Dickinson's Selection For Court Makes Trouble For the Bosses All Along Line Politics is getting lively in the sec ond Dauphin legislative district and many petitions are about with a pros pect that more may be put into circu lation. Among the men mentioned the last few days for Republican nom ination is A. G. Bashoar. Millersburg manufacturer, lie lias been identified with the Republican party for many years and has many friends who are urging him. in the lower end O. C. ; Kibhop and Albert Shenk are talked of. Democrats in the second district are mad at themselves. The candidacy of Dr. Shaffner, of Enhaut, for the House from the lower end, has caused much dissatisfaction as the doctor is i not regarded as even a good forlorn hope bet. while in the upper end Pat ('raven insists on butting into the slate made for H. B. Saussaman. The upper end is being showered with literature sent from this city and said to bear a congressional frank. The Democratic row was helped on last night when in a. speech at Wilkes- Barre, Michael J. Ryan, aspirant for the Democratic nomi nation for governor, llyan Calls made a sensational at- For Defeat tack at a big meeting of Palmer of Democrats upon Congressman A. Mit chell Palmer, leader of the reorganization faction. He called for the defeat of Palmer for United States Senator in the interest of the success of the entire Democratic ticket. Mr. Ryan said: "When I read in the newspapers of the State six weeks ago a declaration from Senator Penrose that there was 'no man in the Commonwealth he would more eagerly welcome as his antagonist than Mit chell Palmer.' 1 thought that it was a mere expression of bravado, or what is called 'political bluff." But I now learn from the most distinguished! men in Palmer's own county that his record is such that his nomination would jeopardize Democratic victory." Judge Eugene C. Bonniwell, of Phil adelphia, to the text "A Campaign of Pharisees," arraigned Palmer and Mc- Cormick, the latter Ryan's opponent for governor. He said McCormick had never voted for Bryan. The Philadelphia Inquirer to-day says in a Washington dispatch: "Re jecting the indorsement of many of the common pleas judges, municipal court . judges and over one Palmer Is thousand lawyers of the Huiiiihhl lly city who wanted Wil- Mcßeynolds liam A. Carr appointed. Attorney General Mcßeynolds to-day selected O. B. Dickinson, of Chester, Pa., to fill the extra judgeship in the district court at Philadelphia. The appointment was sent by Mr. Mcßeynolds to the Presi dent this afternoon and it was learned at the White House that President Wilson would send the nomination to the Senate in all probability to-mor row. The selection of Dickinson marks the end of a long-drawn-out battle and is decidedly embarrassing for Representative A. Mitchell Palmer, of Pennsylvania, who made a vigorous tight for the appointment of Mr. Carr." The Philadelphia Record of to-day says: "Announcement was made yes terday that headquarters in the in terest of Superintend ent of Schools Brutn- BruutbauK'H baugh's candidacy for Will Have the Republican guber- Conimittee natorial nomination would be opened short- ly. A large committee, made up principally of Philadelphians, will assume charge of his campaign. It was stated that the establishment of headquarters had been made neces sary because the superintendent was finding it impossible to attend to the numerous details of a candidacy while in charge of the schools. Dr. Brum baugh has announced that he will not go upon the stump until after the primary election, but expects to tour the State in the Fall." The Philadelphia Press of to-day says: "The reiterated refusal of Judge Charles X. Brumin, of Schuylkill county, to withdraw from his candi dacy for the "Washington party guber natorial nomination, following a con ference yesterday with Dean William Draper Lewis, his rival, and the slated candidate, in the presence of Gifford Pincliot, also slated for the senatorial nomination, lays the foundation for a factional fight in the ranks of the workers. Both gubernatorial candi dates have a large following in the Bull Moose ranks, the one faction be ing resentful that Lewis was slated, the other that Judge Brumm threatens to disrupt the slate." WHERE SECRETARY BRYAN SHINES A crowded auditorium whenever Wil liam Jennings Bryan speaks in Wash ington is the answer to critics who in sist that he should cease his lectures; for everyone feels that some time lie or she must "hear Mr. Bryan." He is a speaker upon a wide range of topics. Whether it is at a Sunday evening gathering, In a lecture hall or at a ban quet. Mr. Bryan is always the conspicu ous figure. At Masonic Temple recent ly ho delivered a travelogue lecture, and without the aid of screen or pic ture furnished his audience with an unforgettable glimpse of his world travels, together with comments upon the manners and customs of the vari ous peoples. To view an audience un der the spell of Mr. Bryan's oratory Is a study that reveals the source of his power. He may not fulfill all the ideal requirements of Secretary of State by attending to routine as required by regulations; but William Jennings Bryan certainly has a grasp of affairs in tile world-cycle of events that should singularly qualify him for negotiating; treaties of peace. . > As Secretary Bryan remains the popu lar and prominent figure of the admin istration In Washington, the Bryan household has been the sceno of manv a brilliant social function during the past few months. Mrs. Bryan as hostess has the gracious manner of one who knows much of her husband's affairs, for the old schoolmate chumship be tween Mr. and Mrs. Bryan has always been maintained since the old days In Illinois, when neither of the young people ever dreamed that In years to come they would be entertaining the representatives of the nations of the world at their home In Washington. With the Bryans, home has always been a sacred word ever since they be gan "housekeeping," in a humble "way, after the dark-haired young attorney llung his lawyer's shingle to the breezes In the new Nebraska city which later was to enjoy the dJsMnctlon of be ing the home Of Wllll&m Jennings Bryan, Secretary of State, thrice can didate for President, and with hopes of some time fulfilling the dream of his Childhood days to become President of the United States, which still remains the legitimate hope and aspiration of every ambitions American-horn youth. - -"Affairs at AVashington," Joe Mitchell Chappie, in National Magazine for March. 191'4. l A-urrte- i '"'it ; She overheard her father say Tommy Duck was too headstrong and wasn't it wonderful how athletic sports de veloped every part of the body. HOW MUCH f By Wins Dinger The reorganizing sirens in the Demo cratic fold Sang a song some months ago that told of graft. And invited all the voters, who for honesty were strong, To enlist in breaking lip the Old Guard craft. We were led to think 'twas awful what vile things were being done, Tn the way of giving offices as pap, And some other things disgraceful should be stopped without delay. And the guilty parties wiped clean off the map. The reorganizing methods were for cutting out these things, And forever putting down the evil boss. Who would daily use the favors that the party could hand out In flavoring his private brand of sauce. And a lot of voters fell for all these siren n'tes of theirs. And a little band together stood and fought. Until the magic scepter from the hands that held it long Was at length with much enthusiasm wrought. Now we note the modern method that's employed in certain parts Of this Keystone State on which they've placed the lid. If you'd like to be Postmaster, we don't care how good you are. What we want to know is, "How much will you bid?" Lady l'm afraid one foot is bigger than the other. Shopman On the contrary, madam, one is perhaps smaller than the other. —London Opinion. Letters to the Editor PAD-ER-EFF-SKEE To the Editor of The Telegraph: A large number of people have dif ficulty in pronouncing Russian names. To a large extent the difficulty van ishes, if it is remembered that in Rus sian and Polish words the "w" sounds like our "f," thus "Pad-er-eff-skee" accept the third syllable not "Pad-er rue-skee," as one often hears it, or more comically still, "Pad-er-whislcy." Yours truly, IVAN SOJOWSKY, "Ruaiun." OPPOSE ANNEXATION To the Editor of The Telegraph: Having noticed an article in the morning paper some days ago pertain ing to annexation of this suburb to the city, and being an interested property owner, I thought I would try to ascer tain tile sentiment here. I was satisfied that three-fourths of the residents and owners were averse to such a proposi tion, and when I circulated among my neighbors I was surprised to find that almost liine-tenths of them said they came here to get away from the city, and that those who were in favor of the proposition had some direct selfish in terest. Will you kindly correct a false impression, and oblige, Yours trulv, F. H. HOFFMAN, 3100 North Third street. Riverside, Pa., March 25. THE NEW PHILOSOPHY OF GOVERN MENT [From Life.] Governor Uullmoose Hiram Johnson of California, says that women are to be credited witli the new philosophy of government which sets human above material things. He said so to the Wo man s Council at Sacramento, explain ing that "this new philosophy believes that the Government's purpose is to make people happier; to make them better; that the only success ful Government is the one that does this." Quite right, Governor. Government's purpose is to make people happier but you cannot do that long by putting the gospel into the statute book, and en forcing it by taxation. You would not hear of a State church supported bv taxation, would you? But you propose to compel your taxpayers to support a system of benevolence. That is what the kind of Government you praise amounts to. You intend to make the people who have more do their duty by the people who have less as you see it. What will happen? California will bo very attractive to people who have everything to gain and will look more and more dubious to folks who still have something to What about the 3.500 unernploved rand starving?) people, including many women and girls, registered in the mu nicipal employment hureau in An geles, none of whom are willing to work as servants: Will you get work and wages for them, or put them on the free list, or will you merelv praise their philosophy and ask for their votes. ?
