Job Dept. 103 WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL s PRESIDENT WILSON REPUDIATED PRESIDENT "WILSON threw liis hat into the ring in the Seventh New Jersey congressional district yesterday in a test of his per sonal popularity and the headpiece was knocked into an indescribable cocked hat before the sun went down. The Republican who succeeds a Dem ocrat was elected by a majority of more than live thousand, a majority larger for Congress than ever given i in the Paterson district. President Wilson deliberately in vited the issue on his policies and In stead of an endorsement of his ad ministration, as he had hoped, the result is a crushing repudiation of the theoretical combination now in the saddle at Washington. All the power of the national administration was exerted in favor of James J. O'Bryne. the Democratic candidate, but he was deluged by a tremendous vote of protest in a special election. Dow H. Drukker winning by more than two to cne. President Wilson must accept the result as a definite and emphatic re pudiation of his policies in his own State where the people should know him bet: and in a district whore one of his supporters, the late Robert G. Bremner, defeated the- Republicans heavily in 1911:. Drukker made his light 011 a plat form opposed to the legislation wrought by the Wilson Administra tion, while Ct'Bryne called upon the voters of the district to send him to Congress as a token of their approval of the President's policies. Republicans are coming into their own. It was inevitable. Naval officers lamenting over the dry order should remember that the man who most frequents the punchbowl most frequently nasn't the punch. STANDARD BERRY BOXES JAMES SWEENEY. chief of the State Bureau of Standards, has received a letter from a Pennsyl vania farmer complaining bitterly against the order requiring all berry boxes used by Pennsylvania producers and dealers to be of full standard quart size. This farmer says that he is "Injured" by the new regulation. Doubtless he is. Such a farmer ought to be "injured." But has ho ever thought how he has "injured" the public by soiling berries in under sized boxes? Doubtless not. The Bureau of Standards, acting under a recent law of the Legislature, will prosecute any person found sell iner from boxes that do not hold a full luart. There can be no hardship in this. If it be necessary for the man who hits been selling from under-sized receptacles to advance his prices slightly to meet the change, why no body will be injured and the con sumer will be benefited by knowing absolutely just what he is getting for his money. There lias been more misrepre sentation and petty cheating in the sale of berries than possibly has been connected with the marketing of any other like commodity. The boxes have been gradually dwindling in size until now some of them hold little more than a pint. Hereafter a "box" will mean something more than tbo bland assertion of the dealer that it is of "standard size." Why not give the unemployed men work in the cleaning up of your prem ise?, now that Spring is here and the natural housecleaning microbe is busy? AGAINST THE PRESIDENT OSCAR W. UNDERWOOD, as the Democratic leader of the House at Washington, has just demon strated In his campaign for the United States Senate in Alabama, where he has been elected over Con gressman Hobson, that the people of the South are about as much out of joint over the Wilson attitude on the Panama Canal tolls proposition as are those of other sections of the country. It was inconceivable that the voters of the United States would approve the course of the President in this controversy. No Chief Magistrate of the United States has ever been able to win out on a question involving patriotism and the material interests WEDNESDAY EVENING of the nation where he allgtied him self with a foreign government against hiu own countrymen. Even United States Senator Theo dore Burton, of Ohio, has withdrawn as a candidate for re-election to the Senate because he believes his views on the subject of the Panama Canal tolls are at variance with those of a large majority of his constituents. He therefore prefers to drop out of the fight rather than take the chances of defeat at this time. Xor are the voters of Pennsylvania unmindful of the fact that the Presi dent is maintaining an un-American attitude on this question. Political ob servers during the last week report a strong undercurrent of sentiment in this State against the Palmer-McCor mick faction as a result of Mr. Pal mer's support of the President and his declaration that the latter should have the blln4 allcgience of liis party with out regard to the effect of his policies upon the country at large. Joseph B. Thompson should make good as the first captain of police. His record in former administrations justi fies the selection. There is also con siucrable public approval of the reap pointment of a number of officers who were dropped in the first flush of the ripper era of the new commission form of government. SHADE TREE COMMISSION" WHILE Harrisburg is hesitating about the creation of a shade tree commission, as provided by an act of the Legislature several years ago, other cities are adopting this regulation so as to save the shade trees and assure something like uniformity in their treatment. Much of the mutilation of tine trees has resulted from their use by over head wire companies, but now that many of the wires are being placed underground in this city these cor porations are not so likely to oppose the shade tree regulation. Just now the tree butcher is in his glory. He goes about with his saw and ax and in a day destroys the work of years. As suggested by a critic, he knows no more about trees or how they should be trimmed, or whether they shoulO be trimmed at all. than a pig knows about the Napoleonic wars. He is an .authorized vandal and the trees he leaves bleeding and dying in his wake are silent protests against his ignor ant policy. Harrisburg has made such substan tial progress in every other direction that there should be no hesitation on the part .of the authorities in adopting the shade tree act. Of course, there will be opposition, as there always is to every suggestion looking to Im provement. But many fine shade trees are now standing mutilated and un sightly and will always stand as a re flection upon the tree butcher. It ought to be apparent to every thoughtful citizen that the product of years of growth should be preserved and protected against the ignorant cutting and whacking of men who seem to think that tree-trimming is simply the removal of the tree. Real estate values are often fixed by the number of shade trees, and In Harrisburg the owners of property ought- to realize that the planting - of the right kind of shade trees is going to enhance beyond measure the actual market value of their holdings. It is better to let shade trees alone than to trim them in a careless or in different way. If there must be trim ming, let it be done by some person who knows how to do it. Harrisburg is now due for another elean-up week. A year ago tons and tons of rubbish and refuse were carted away from back yards and the premises of indifferent householders and in view of what has been uncovered in a suburb of Pleasant View, it would seem that the elean-up should extend into ad jacent districts. Those noon-day luncheons of the Chamber of Commerce are proving a delightful feature of the new business organization. Guests of the city find in these luncheons a first-class opportu nity to loarn more of Harrisburg; and the more they learn of the city, the better they like it. . WHY DO THKY COME XGLAXD and other countries of Europe boast of the low cost of {P A living there as compared with America and South America. Yet in recent years the flood of immi gration has been persistently from the old to the new—from free trade coun tries where the cost of living is com paratively low to protected America where the living is high. Why? Simply because the oppor tunities here have been greater than in Europe. The workman much pre ferred the high wage and the high living cost to low wages and cheap prices for the very simple reason that with wages high he might live as sim ply as he chose and pocket the saving, while with wages and prices both low [ he had little opportunity to save any thing no matter how poorly he lived. Strange as it may seem, with a pro [ tective tariff in force the workman, with home factories buzzing at top speed, was able to buy more or save more in high-priced America than he was in low-priced Europe—and that was t(ie reason why he preferred this country to his own. The effort to lower prices here by process of importation has had no other effect than to cut down tho output of our own factories and farms. The new tariff is, therefore, nothing more or less than a blow at wages. It is true that the old tariff was too high in spots. Even its staunchest friends agreed on that. But the reasonable remedy was not to discard the system that made living conditions in this country better than those in Europe to an extent that has drawn millions of Europeans to America. There is just one way out of our present trouble —elect men to the next Congress who will undo as rapidly as possible the mistakes of those respon sible for the Underwood bill. We have had quite enough already of "Democratic prosperity." Let us seize the first opportunity of restoring the industry of the country to its old basis of prosperity. We are convinced that there are worse things than high prices—no wages, for Instance, The Wilson administration has an other hope. This time It is that the wheat crop will be so large that food prices will be lowered. Evidently it is Intended that "man shall live by bread alone." This Irish dispute in England is get ting real serious. We note now that It has caused some of the members of Parliament to neglect their golf. Colo Blease won't find the United States Senate a comfortable place, we fear. There will be no prisoners to pardon. The President asked those New Jer sey Democrats "to pass judgment on the administration." They did. We hope lie is satisfied. Returns from Illinois indicate that the women of that State have not become addicted to the cocktail habit. I EVENING CHAT I Postmaster Frank C. Sites is work ing out a plan which will in all prob ability result in the assembling of one ol' the most unique collections of por traits in the city. It is his idea to obtain the likenesses of all of the post masters of Harrisburg and to group them together as a part of the records of this city's post office, which is rapidly becoming one of the most Im portant in the State. This plan has •>ecn in vogue in national and State governmental offices for generations, the collections at Washington and on our own Capitol Hill being not only interesting but valuable, and recently -Mayor Royal began a collection of the portraits of the mayors of Harrisburg. Mr. Royal has given considerable time and thought to the work, which neces sitated far more correspondence and research than imagined by the man ivho had never undertaken such a project. The city's executive found that relatives of deceased mayors had moved away and it was only by dint of persistent work that he was able to secure likenesses of several mayors of thirty and forty years ago. City Clerk .Miller's collection of portraits of the presidents of Common Council is some thing unique in the State,' as it is doubtful if the large cities have a col lection so complete. Mr. Miller began the gathering of the portraits when he became city clerk in the early nineties and kept at it, overcoming the natural reluctance of some men to have their faces appear in public places and securing others from families of men who had died. It is Mr. Sites' belief that he will be able to secure the por traits of John Wyeth, the early news paperman and first postmaster of the city, John Wright, James Peacock, Isaac G. McKinley, John H. Brandt and other postmasters of long ago, as some of their descendants live here abouts. He has been offered the por traits of George Bergner and others of a later generation and before long this interesting collection will doubt ;ess be complete. Among visitors to the city yesterday was Representative M. Clark Watson, of Indiana county, who camo here to look after some business and inci dentally to attend sessions of the hous ing conference. Mr. Watson was in charge of the bill to establish the bureau of housing in the State De partment of Health and fought the measure through the Legislature. It has been commended as one of the best steps in the direction of bettering living conditions outside of the larger cities, which have their own laws. Mr. Watson is an attorney and one of the veterans In reform work in the Legis lature. He will run again. There is food for thought in the annual report of the Little Rock Pub lic Library, just made public. It shows that during 1913 there were 68,340 books circulated. In this city the cir culation in three months at the new Harrisburg Public Library was 32.500 books. Little Rock's library received a gift of 8.000 books from the library of one of its prominent men and an other of 600 medical books. Both were made special collections in the library. There were 325 books do nated. Little Rock is a city of 45,941 population. Spring is surely here. It could be told without much effort by noting the lackadaisical appearance of people in the streets. Spring garb, flowers and houseeleaning. But a better sign than all that of the permanence of the season of rains and blossoms is that blackbirds have arrived and are to be seen flying over the city. The other evening a flock landed at the Reservoir, but did not like the fer tilizer on the grass and moved away. Another flock was seen in Wildwood. The city's parks just now furnish line examples of sowing. Every dav men can be seen going about with bags of grass seed, strewing it about to bring "up the grass in worn places. The sowing operations attract the no tice of many youngsters and that has the effect of keeping away tho birds. Many bushels of seed are being used to maintain the grass plots. The Harrisburg correspondent for a newspaper in a distant city of tho State, which journal is not noted for the undivided support it has given the Toner administration, got an impor tant telegram from his paper a few nights ago which made it imperative that the correspondent talk with Gov ernor Tener at the earliest possible moment. The Executive Mansion was ignorant of the Governor's where abouts. Private Secretary Goither was located, but he couldn't say just where the Governor was. The Governor seemed to have dropped out of sight for the evening. Finally, on toward 11 o'clock, tho anxious newspaper man got into telephonic communication with the chief executive. "Been hunting you everywhere, Governor," he said. "I've been on the jump since 8 o'clock." "I was in my office at the Capitol," | replied the Governor. "Well. I never called there," ad mitted the correspondent. "Oh, you fellows get the wrong point of view." laughed the Governor; "we work a little bit once in a while, in spite of what some papers say." [ WELL KNOWN PEOPLE \ —George W. Norris, the Philadel phia director who was here yesterday, was for years a successful banker. —James V. McMasters, prominent Pittsburgh magistrate, has given up living in a hotel after forty years and wilj live in suburbs. —Colonel Thomas F.

LI HUNG CHANG'S VIEW During several years I have given quite careful study and thought to the religion of the West, and I cannot see that It is in conflict at all with our own philosophy. On the contrary, the teachings oj Confucius and the doc trines of Jesus appear to be on one ex alted plane, conceived and promulgate ed for the betterment of all mankind, "heathen" and Christion. I know this: that if my lot were cast in Idngland, Kranoe. or America 1 should want to call myself a Christian, for that is the religion of those countries: and a man who would order ills life by his tenets would keep out of troublp' an.l be re-I spected. , BARRISBURG T&AF&B TELEGRAPH n in GOING TO CHASE IKE BOSSES Will Follow Up Demoralized Ma chine in Every County in State BULL MOOSERS GO IT ALONE Reorganizers in Allegheny and Northern Tier Are Up in the Air Over Spoils According to morning newspapers, the friends of Michael J. Ryan pro pose to follow up the demoralization into which they have thrown the cam paign of Palmer and McCormick by a series of tours of the Statu by effective workers and will have Mr. Ryan visit the cities on a speech-making tour. It is said that he may be here the latter part of next week, but this date has not been settled. Dispatches about tilling of post masterships show that every appoint ment has started trouble and that there is a waving of hatchets in places where the bosses expected things to be. quiet. Counties visited by McCor mick a week ago are seething with Democratic brawls and the reports of the machine meetings which have been coming over the wires are de clared by men of the other side to be written for home consumption. Forty eight hours after McKean county had been visted the Ryan people formed an organization that started work in every precinct. Allegheny county reports are that the organization of the county Demo crats opposed to the machine is one of the mo'it effective in years and that the reorganization leaders are dis gusted with the prospects. Wlllard E. Ritter. 3256 North Car lisle street, Philadelphia, who gives his occupation as salesman, late yes terday filed petitions to be a candidate for the Re publican nomination for Unknown Governor at the May pri- riles Set mary. The petitions were of Papers on six sheets, each con taining 112 names, and were signed by residents of Philadel phia. Delaware. Montgomery, Bucks, Lehigh and Northampton counties. No one seems to know much about him. Ex-Congressman B. K. Focht, Lew isburg. Seventeenth district, and Jesse L. Hartman, Hollidaysburg, Nineteenth district, filed petitions to be candidates for Congress on Republican tickets in their districts. Petitions filed for nominations for the House included James W. Bloom lleld, Juniata, Republican, Second Blair; Charles J. Monaghan, Girard ville. Democrat, Second Schuylkill; Ambrose Mann, Sugar Notch, Repub lican and Democrat. Second Luzerne. The leaders of the Dauphin county | Bull Moosers will get together at the headquarters to-night to outline their plan of campaign and it is said that any Bull Moosers overtures for fusion Will Go It with the Democrats !By Themselves will be turned down. Congresman Art Kup ley, who is on the j sliding board, has been making some j moves lately which appear mysterious I to some of the dyed-in-the-wool Bull Moosers and they do not propose to go along with him. Dr. J. H. Kreider is to stand for Congress and not to make any alliances. George L. Reed will probably be picked as one of the candidates for member from the city and Representatives Lenker and Mar tin will be run in the county. Com miteemen will be picked out in every precinct. According to reports received here from northern tier c unties recently visited by the McCormick party, the Republican enrollment is far greater than even Republicans expected it Northern to be and in some dis- Tier Lines tricts which went strong- Up Strongly ly for Roosevelt in 1912 there is little Washing ton strength left and the voters have lined up under the Republican name, j The Democrats are shot to pieces in | Bradford and Susquehanna counties and it is said that they are going to cut a sorry, figure. Friends of Ryan followed up McCormick and a choice line of literature about the Harris burg candidate was strewn along the route. 1| POUTICAL SIOaiGHTS ~ —The news from that New Jersey congressional election does not appear to have reached Market Square.

POLITICAL FABLES [Continued.] Young Nation not being In his usual good health asked old Dr. Republican what the trouble was. After looking Young Nation over thoroughly and be ing familiar with all his complaints, owing to long attendance upon and experience with htm, decided that he was troubled with "Gout," a pain brought about by reason of high liv ing. Dr. Republican refusing to give any medicine earned the reputation of being a "Stand Pat" doctor because he refused to adopt all the new fangled cures that recently were so popular. Young Nation having his doubts about this course and consult ing Dr. Democrat was told he had rheumatism, caused by constant and continuous work such a* Dr. Republi can had permitted him to do, suggest ing such remedies as "Low Tariff," "New Currency," "Trade Restraint" and, in general, an entirely different treatment than that which Dr. Repub lican had , been giving htm. Young Nation was much tn doubt about this advice, having some recollection of once trying a remedy known as "Free Trade" upon this same doctor's rec ommendation. Believing, however, that a change would be beneficial and might do no harm, he decided to give Dr. Democrat an opportunity to try out his theories, having previously de clined to accept Dr. Progressive's ad vice that what he needed was an 011- IN HARRISBURG FIFTY YEARS AGO TO-DAY [From the Telegraph of April S, 1864.] Watch Your < limine!
