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 l<cmoyne. Fire
less to be feared in its results where
Jarpe numbers of people are gathered
together than are the panics which it
j'o often causes. Especially difficult is
it to restrain children when the "fire
scare" is upon them, and Principal \\".
I'. Row man and his force of teachers
ought to receive the thanks of every
parent with a ;hild in the school for
the splendid discipline that enabled
all to get out without injury. The res
cue work of the high school boys and
girls is also a mutter for commenda
tion.
The fact that the fire was extin
guished before it got much headway
does not minimize these efforts in the
least. The big fact is that when the
cry of fire went up there was no
panic.
DR. BRUMBAUGH'S OFFENSE
DR. MARTIN O. BRUMBAUGH,
whose candidacy for Governor
on the Republican ticket has
thrown the Palmer-McCormick
group into spasms, has invoked the
wTath of these gentlemen by talking
with I'nited States Senators Penrom
and Oliver. This Is a most heinous
offense. It would seem that about the
®nly course Dr. Brumbaugh can take
THURSDAY EVENING,
after this disclosure is to withdraw
from the contest. Of course, he may
have concluded that talking with a
couple of United States Senators from
his own State was no worse thun a
conference of four Democrats in
Washington, two of whom were
chosen us the candidates of the ma
chine In this State for United States
Senator and Governor, but he must
understand that only those who aro
of the elect can do these things and
hope to survive politically.
Dr. Brumbaugh has even admitted
that he had a talk with Senators Pen
rose and Oliver and some other gen
tlemen and this leads the esteemed
Patriot to declare that the public-lias
now no doubt of the insincerity of the
distinguished educator.
In these days of political piflie one
need not be surprised at anything
emitted by the little men who have
been permitted to strut across the
public stage while political parties
were adjusting themselves to new con
ditions.
Sow that the grip of winter has been
j broken it might be a good thing for
the Superintendent of Highways to
flush the streets and give the old town
a thorough washdown from one end to
tlio other. It might also be an oppor
tune time to enforce strictly the dump
regulations, so that the refuse of the
winter Is not blown all over the vicinity
of these dumping places
OPEV DOOR IV CHINA
AS those who have made a study
of conditions in China have sus
pected from the tirst, the re
cent announcement that Con
fucianism is to he the "official" reli
gion of the new republic does not
mean much. According to a cable
from Peking, China's president has
issued a mandate explaining the exact
meaning and force of a previous offi
cial announcement regarding the re
storation of Confucianism. This new
mandate points out that religious free
dom is granted fully and will be prop
erly guaranteed.
It then goes on to say: ">Co 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."

All Along Line
Politics is getting lively in the sec

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,

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

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

BruutbauK'H baugh's candidacy for

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.

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.

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. ?
THE MODERN Gin I,
We knock and criticise her
We scold, apostrophize her.
We wish that she were wiser,
More capable and kind.
Her path we're always stalking
To criticise her talking.
Her clothes, her ways of walking
Her manners ami her mind.
We say. "Oh, highty-ttghtv:
She's frivolous and flighty.
And all her ways are mighty
Undignified to see;
She dances and she chatters,
Our golden rule she shatters
And laughs at serious matters •
With unabated glee."
Wo chide and wo correct her,
We shadow and detect her,
We study and dissect her.
With all her smiles and tears.
And find, on looking o'er her
(And learning to adore her),
She's Just like girls before her.
