TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 14
BACK OF THE DEPRESSION
HERE is the keynote to the pres
ent unsatisfactory business
conditions. The gross earnings
of the railroads for the fourth
week of March—the last for which
6tatißties are at this time available —
show a decrease of nearly 2 per cent.
as compared with those for the same
period last year.
From figures on hand April 3, the
Interstate Commerce Commission re
port? earnings of 150 railroads oper
ating within the United States during
February and for eight months from |
July 1 to March 1, 1914, compared
with the same figures for 1913, as
follows: For eight months ending
March 1, 1914, total operating rev
enues, $166,470,821; for 1913, $185,-
865,691. For February, 1914, total
operating revenues, $1,674,819,403;
for 1918, $1,699,907. In both cases
the earnings for the present year show
a serious decline.
Exports at the port of New York
for the latest week amounted to $20,-
571,289, compared with $21,648,051 in
the same week last year. Imports to
talled $21,454,759, compared with
$19,286,617 last year. There is no
noticeable increase of activity .in the
Iron and steel trade. The United
States Steel Corporation, in Its ton
nage report for the month of March,
ehows unfilled orders on hand de
creased 376,615 tons, compared with
the previous month.
Exports are falling off and imports
are increasing'. That* means less in
dustrial activity at home. Our fac
tories are not as busy as they were.
This is reflected in the railroad busi
ness. Railroad earnings are falling
cff.
It does not require more than a
superficial analysis of the foregoing
figures to prove that the new tariff
Is back of the trade depression that is
throwing thousands of men out of
work dally and is now' threatening a
reduction of the wages of steel
workers.
In a recent speech at Chicago, Dis
trict Attorney Whitman, of New York
City, pointed out that more men were
employed, investments were stimulated,
foreign purchases were larger and cus
tom receipts were sufficient for the
needs of the Government under tho
operations of the last Republican tariff
law. By wilful misrepresentation the
Democracy was able to arouse suffici
ent public sentiment to overthrow that
law and substitute for It a free trade
measure which has caused widespread
depression throughout the country. Re
publicans of all factions have seen tho
error of their ways and are now com
ing together for a stand against a
party which has once more shown its
incapacity for government.
United States Senator James Hamil
ton Lewis, the Democratic whip from
Illinois, has introduced three bills, pro
viding for the purchase o{ all lnter
iniato railroads, the building by tne
•Government of 100 merchant ships and
the supplanting' of the Interstate Com
merce Commission by three boards
having power to Ax transportation
rates, commodity prices and scale of
■wages and take charge of bar' ing.
Senator Lewis, In his great paternal en
terprise, has overlooked the three base
ball leagues and the moving picture
trust.
THE POSTCARD CAMPAIGN
JUDGE KUNKEL'S friends in and
out of politics are taking more
than a passing interest in the
campaign now being waged for
his nomination as candidate for the
Supreme Court bench of the State. An
evidence of this is the demand for
the postcards that are being circulated
in his interest.
No man has done more to up-hold
the good name of the State of Penn
eylvania in recent years than Judge
Kunkel. His high sense of duty and
splendid knowledge of the law led as
much to the conviction of the Capitol
conspirators as the evidence deduced
by the prosecution. A less able Jurist
■would have floundered in the maze of
technicalities raised by opposing coun
sel. One little error in ruling would
have upset the entire proceedings in
an appeal to the Supreme court, and
there would have been a miscarriage
of Justice that would have reflected on
the courts of the State and the en
tire governmental machinery of the
Commonwealth. But none was made
TUESDAY EVENING. BABRISBURG TELEGRAPH . APRIL 14, 1914.
and Judge Kunkel came out of the
trying ordeal with the admiration and
respect of the whole State.
Now hundreds of those who re
member the Capitol verdicts are
fehowing their appreciation by mailing
postcards favoring Judse Kunkel to
their friends all over the State. In
doing so they are paying only Just
trlbuto to a Judge who has known
nothing but the interests of the peo
ple since his election to the bench.
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Blakslee is now on the griddle. He is
charged by Congressman Lee, the
Democratic Representative of the
Schuylkill district, with certain and
sundry things subversive of discipline
and contrary to the postal laws and
regulations. Thus the Democratic
brethren go merrily on their way.
THE TROtT SEASON.
THERE will be many vacant of
fices to-morroTy. iluny doors
will bear the sign "Out of Town
on Important Business." And
the absent tenants will be along the
trout streams of Central Pennsylva
nia.
For days the fishermen have been
watching the weather and frowning
even' time a cloud showed itself over
the horizon. When the weather man
predicted a rainy Easter there was
consternation as great among the
trout anglers as among the girls who
had bought new spring costumes —
but not for the same reason. The
streams are in fairly good condition
and the fishermen didn't want the
sport spoiled by "roily" waters that
would make fly fishing next to useless
and keep the big fellows at the bot
toms of theii* favorite pools.
There is really no sport quite so ab
sorbing as troutflshing, and particu
larly is this true in respect to the first
excursion of the season. Says the golf
enthusiast, "When your business in
terferes with your golf, neglect your
business," but for the trout fisherman
there is no such thing as business
when it comes time to go astream
with rod and creel —business for the
time simply does not exist for him.
He is wrapped around with the glam-
our of boyhood days renewed, he
smells again the pungent odors of
growing things, he hears the gurgle
of water beneath the over-hanging
bank, he sees the rise of the trout
to the fly, and who can blame him
when he pulls down the lid of his roll
top, hangs out the sign with its gentle
hint of an important business trip,
and hies himself away to where spring
in being born again, where young life
runs riot in the lush growth along
the meadow streams and where the
trout lurk in the quiet pools below the
rippling rapids.
That Jefferson Day dinner of the
Central Democratic Club was a Joyous
and vociferous occasion. It was all
that the club had anticipated in the
way of attendance and enthusiasm, and
while the promised land is still in the
distance for many of those who sat
around the board, the speeches were
all of the sort that please a political
organization under such circumstances.
There were some concealed weapons,
of course, but these were not permitted
to disturb the harmony of the dinner.
It was a well-staged affair and from
the standpoint of tbo local Democratic
organization was a success.
GLORYING IN THEIR SHAME.
THE reorganization element in the
Democratic party of this State
assumes for its own purposes
that the people have forgotten
the attitude of the leaders of this
faction in recent years toward
bossism and the arbitrary arroga
tion to Individuals of party con
trol. Since the exposure of the
absolute dictation of the Palmer-
McCormick ticket by President Wil
son it might be supposed that there
would be some attempt to discredit
the story of the slating of the White
House candidates. Instead, however,
of any effort of that sort, Mr. Palmer,
as the spokesman of the little coterie
which is running the faction which
the President has endorsed, appears
to glory in the fact that the open
primary and the spirit of fair play
have been flagrantly violated In be
half of himself and his associates of
the reorganization group.
History presents no such an arro
gant assumption of power since the
days of Julius Caesar as that dis
played by President Wilson in forc
ing upon the Democrats of Pennsyl
vania candidates of his own choice
■without regard to the wishes of the
party in this State. It is not a Re
publican affair, however, and Demo
crats must determine to what extent
they will permit of outside dictation
in the selection of their candidates.
President Wilson demands some more
trust legislation and will stay in Wash
ington, he says, all summer to place
other statutes on the nation's books. It
might be better for the country to have
the Congress adjourn after delegating
full powers to the President to com
plete the demoralization of business In
his own way.
SUFFRAGE DAY
THAT Harrisburg has not yet
reached the stage of suffrage
enthusiasm necessary to the
success of 2 parade is evident
from a bulletin Issued from State
headquarters to-day.
It is announced that May 2 will be
"suffrage day" throughout the coun
try. There will be parades, street
meetings and big demonstrations. Dr.
Shaw has appealed to President Wil
son to name the first Saturday in May
as a suffrage holiday.
Parades will be held in Philadel
phia, Pittsburgh, Mercer, Coudersport
and Towanda. Harrisburg will not
attempt anything more pretentious
than a mass meeting.
Another White House wedding on
May Bth. But even the occasional in
terruption of the marriage of one of his
daughters does not Interfere with the
President's purpose to upset business
and destroy confidence in the Industries
of the country.
Dr. Swallow says Sunday automo
billsts are "gasoline Christians." We
also know some Easter hat Christians,
some Sunday paper Christians and not
a few "take-a-late-sleep-Sunday Chris
tions.
I EVENING CM\
This is the season of the year when
the farm makes Its loudest and most
insistent call and when the city man
with muscles aching from digging
garden or leaning over and planting
onion sets thinks of the life in tne
rural districts where the leaping
brook souuus and tne lowing nerd
winds slowly o'er the lea. Ail of tnis
is preparatory to the remarks tnat
farmers'and dwellers in the country
say tnat tne use of the dinner norn
and dinner betl is threatened. Not
tnat there is any indication wnatever
ot their use being gnen up, but witn
the advance in tno use ot motor ve
hicles a loud honking of the auto horn
is said to be as penetrating as tne
blowing of a tin horn or tne ringing
of a bell. Less than a week ugo a
liarrisburg man wno happened to be
in tne rural districts of Dauphin
county between 11 and 12 said that ne
heard haif a dozen auto norns being
bounded for tne call to dinner and
only four old-fashioned beds. Not
once did he hear the blast of a tin
norn. It might be remartted in pass
ing that ex-Congressman Joseph ssio
ley, who is wen known here, is a
Arm believer in the bells, notwith
standing the movement in favor of
the auto horn and a dispatch from
his home town teils that ne has in
stalled a chime of tweive bells In a
tower about 12 feet high on his River
Kidge farm. In Daupnln in the ab
sence of philanthropists wno put up
chimes It might be stated that tho
auto horn is becoming popular as a
dinner call.
Friends of R. S. Chamberlin, for
several years Identified with the Bell
Telephone Company in this city, will
be interested to know that he has
been named as general passenger and
express agent of the Scranton and
Binghampton railway which operates
a net work of lines in the northeastern
part of the State. Mr. Chamberlin
was connected with the Bell at
Wilkes-Barre and Scranton and later
general superintendent here. He was
also in charge of service of the Con
solidated company for a time and a
year or so ago went with the railway
company. His friends here will be
giad to learn of his advancement to
his new place.
The Pennsylvania railroad company
in its information booklet commends
the employes who handled the big
storms this spring and cails attention
to the similarity of the disturbances
which caused the great blizzards of
1888, 1909 and 1914. In the begin
ning there were two storms in each
case and while It may be unseason
able and also unreasonable to re
call blizzards these days, they behaved
in the same manner. The weather
oureaus went wrong in eastern clues
because the storms collided off Hat
teras and the back draugnt or some
thing e»se covered the Middle States
vvith feet of snow and paralyzed traf
tic generally. The recollection of the
.ecent blizzard is too painful to dwell
ipon.
It is noticed that In the news dis
patches of the day that many of the
omaller municipalities are taking steps
to create park commissions and that
movements to bring about better sur
roundings are under way all over the
State. For instance, half a dozen
•loroughs have named park commis
sions lately and more have been writ
.ng to State officials asking for laws
on the subject. It Is also noticed that
the practice of donating or bequeath
ing park properties to small towns
nas become general and that in every
instance liberal appropriations have
been made for their maintenance.
Secretary "Billy" Wilson, of the de
partment of labor who was to have
been speaker at last night's dinner, is
gi#od natured to a degree, but his tem
per is being a little tried by the ac
tions of congress. The secretary
wanted a departmental automobile
and congress would not provide It. He
got one anyway and used the con
tingent fund to buy a car and put
it into service. Congress countered
on him by tacking a provision on the
appropriation bill that the items can
not be used for any motor vehicle
maintenance. Wilson has the car and
t is said he will be willing to pay
for the gasoline if congress keeps its
back up.
Some of the counties throughout
he State are not taking very kindly to
the diction from the Capitol that they
must pay the bounties on scalps of
noxious animals and annoying birds
whether the legislature makes an ap
propriation in reimbursement or not.
The law provides that the bounties
shall be paid and that the legislature
shall reimburse the counties out of
the income from hunters' licenses,
one-half being specifically appropri
xted for the purpose. Unfortunately,
there is a hitch over the payment and
the counties are having to pay out
their good money with little chance
of getting it back for a year.

Democratic Club last
evening. When diners
entered the hall they were surprised to
see placards announcing the candidacy
of Judge Gustave A. Endlich, of Read

stationed at the door handing circu
lars to all comers. Some of the men
attending the dinner refused to ac
cept them and one man handed back
a leaflet with the statement that he
supposed that the judicial nominations
were to be nonpartisan and that while
he knew Endlich was a Democrat he
thought that Democrats were not re
garding factional lines. The man in
I charge said he had been given per
mission to hand out -the papers. Lat
er on several men tore up the leaf

all he got was a laugh from the man

BOSSIXG PENNSYLVANIA
[Pittsburgh Gazette Times.]
White House disclaimers to the con
trary notwithstanding, and Secretary
Bryan's recent assertion that it was
the policy oT the President not to in
terpose in the Democratic politics of
any State in which a United States
senator was to be elected this year, we
now have it from the lips of Repre
sentative A. Mitchell Palmer that Mr.
Wilson has absolutely dictated Pal
mer's candidacy for senator and along
with him that of Vance C. McCormick
for governor of Pennsylvania. Ever
since these heavenly twins of the re
organized Democracy of this State set
out to capture the nominations by as
suming an air of righteous superiority,
they have tried to make it appear for
public consumption that, although
supporters of the Wilson administra
tion, as they ought to be, no federal
power or patronage was being arbi
trarily employed in their behalf to the
exclusion of other aspirants, such as
Ryan for governor and Budd for
senator, but that the fight was open
and above board.
A reading of the record in the case
as supplied secretly In the Red Room
of that most democratic of hostelries,
the Believue-Stratford, Philadelphia,
will disabuse anybody's mind as to the
unselfishness and untrammelled char
acter of the McCormick-Mitchell com
bination. Mr. Palmer's naive narrative
is imparted "frankly, sincerely, openly
and fully," as was fitting behind closed
doors and under the auspices of the
New Freedom. The first aim of the re
organizers was to prosecute the pro
cess of elimination so craftily and pri
vately as to prevent any ordinary
j Democrat with initiative and popular
ity of his own from having a look-in
for the two nominations.
• * * * *
It is a great "come all ye faithful"
to proceed from a President and Sec
retary of State who owe their eleva
tion largely to protests and preach
ments against bossism. It is in startl
ing refutation of Mr. Bryan's assur
ance over his own name In the Com
moner that the President was keep
ing hands off and playing fair as be
tween Democrats. That Mr. Wilson
should desire to have his administra
tion approved in Pennsylvania is na
tural and proper though he will not
witness the miracle In 1914—but that
he should attempt the Folger business
over again and descend to the politi
cal methods against which he and his
party have Inveighed for years, re
veals him in a role that inevitably in
vites unfavorable criticism.
WHEN THIS TIDE IS IST
TWs "boats lay stranded on the beach,
Tangled with seaweed dark and
green;
A desolate and dreary scene,
As far as thp eye could reach:
The tide was out.
How changed tho view when day is
done.
The boats rode gaily In the deep,
Their white sails nodding as in sleep.
Kissed by the setting sun;
The tide was In.
Thus many a life, in want or woe,
Lies stranded on the barren shore;
But God is God forever more—
Take courage for we know
The tide is coming in.
And lifted from the rocks and shoals
We sail upon the sunlit sea;
Night opens on eternity—
Sweet rest for weary souls—
The tide is in.

RECKI/ESS DEMOCRATIC EX
TRAVAGANCE.
[Philadelphia Ledger.]
There need be no surprise at the
reckless extravagance of the present
Congress. Its majority is inexperi
enced in the arts of responsible gov
ernment. It has received no mandate
from the people, but is in power be
cause. of a Republican split. The
greedy amateurs in government be
lieve that they must get as much pub
lic money as possible for their dis
tricts and for the appointees of their
party while they have the chance. It
matters not that they have been
charging the Republicans with ex
travagance. The had to charge them
with something, and when the expen
ditures of a rapidly growing nation
were increased to keep pace with the
growth it was easy to say that the
party in power was extravagant and
to make a show of proving it by
quoting figures. But the Republicans
need not prove that this Congress is
wasteful. It has been effectively done
by one of Its own responsible leaders,
John J. Fitzgerald, chairman of the
House Committee on Appropriations.
