TimiSDAY EVENING, APRIL 2»
BACKING THi: PRESIDENT, BUT—
WHEN Willia;u Howard Taft de
clared before a large body of
patriotic students at Yale that
war with Mexico would not be
a path of glory, but a trail of woe,
he described in the most graphic and
comprehensive way the real meaning
of the conflict. Like other conservative
and experienced statesmen, he regrets
that this republic has been drawn into
an unfortunate controversy which now
threatens the peace of two republics
for a long period. It is bound to be a
trail of woe, and the American boys
who have already given up their lives
have shed their blood in a cause
which does not Inspire the red-blood
enthusiasm that has characterized
every other war in the history of the
country.
There is no doubt about President (
Wilson having the Sturdy support of .
every loyal citizen. lie will have at J
his command the treasure and the
military strength of a vigorous people; j
hut while there is a determination
everywhere throughout the country to I
uphold the dignity of the government
at. Washington, there is also universal
regret that the diplomacy or lack of
diplomacy which characterized the
preliminary handling of the whole
matter has plunged the country into
a situation which involves such serious
complications as cannot be even fore
seen at the present time.
There 1s a growing conviction that
the present administration is lacking
in experience and there is also a
strong belief that the men who have
been sent to represent the United
State at the foreign courts are not
of the type which gives promise of
conservative and level-headed action
tinder stress and in sudden emergen
cies. For the first time in years there
Is also a question in the public mind
regarding the ability of the present
head of the State Department to grasp
the many serious problems which are
hound to arise with great frequency in
cur relations with other countries.
This and other reasons are respon
sible for the doubt which clouds the
•whole question of our difficulty in
Mexico. Even now there, is a reach
ing out in the public thought for the
(strong figures which have stood for
the country's honor and its welfare in
other crises of the nation. But in
epite of this attitude there is no ques
tion anywhere regarding the deter
mination of the American people to
«tand back of the President in every
reasonable move which he may make
•for the restoration of peace even
Hhrough the force of arms.
It is too late now, perhaps, to dis
cuss what might have been. We are
now confronted wtili the always diffi
cult problem of a restoration of har
monious relations between two coun
tries whose interests are so closely
related one with the other.
Wc can only hope that the loss of
(prestige of I his nation abroad is but a
temporary thing and that the real mo
tives actuating the United States in its
dealing with its unfortunate neighbors
■will be better understood as the con
ditions have prevailed in Mexico
pre realized
"But the odium of an Insincere act
hap been obviated." says the. Philadel
phia North American. "For the
maladroit and evasive policy of the,
administration has been substituted a
declaration which Is reasonably
straightforward and which we can de
fend before the world. American
honor has been taken into the keeping
of a patriotic congress. There will
no longer be any doubt or hesitation
among true citizens. They will sus
tain to the uttermost the future course
of the government and, at any cost
in lives or treasure, will carry through
the great work thrust upon them by
fate and administrative Incompetence."
Now that we are. in for It the United
Btates must go through with the Mexi
can program. Every move that will
Bhorten the struggle must be made.
BASEBALL PUBLICIT V
IT was entirely proper that the
Chamber of Commerce at its noon
day luncheon yesterday should give
full opportunity for discussion of
>lie advantages of a good baseball
jrlub In advertising the city. All of
Ihe speeches sounded this keynote and
)lh«* merchants and business men pres
ent were practically of one mind that
THURSDAY EVENING,
there are two phases of the national
sport which must appeal to every com
munity. First, the value of the sport
itself in building up vigorous man
hood; and, secondly; the value of pub
licity obtained through the work of a
winning team.
Manager Cockill in his modest little
speech gave assurance that so long as
he had anything to do with the Har
risburg club there would be clean ball
and clean sport at Island Park and
this assurance is going to mean much
more in the way of substantial ap
peal for support of the club than any
other argument that might be ad
duced. Harrisburg is an up-to-date
and wide-awake city and we believe
that there is sufficient interest in the
national game here and in the citv
itself to place the club on a firm basis.
There are few busy men who
arc not interested more or less in
baseball and we believe that the
recreation which comes to the work
ers of any community through this
sport is of benefit in more ways than
one.
There has been a turn for the
better In the baseball situation here
and the Chamber of Commerce has
once more proved its value as a me
dium through which the various in
terests of the community may give ex
pression to those things which con
cern thousands of our people.
As was to be expected from the
leader of a lot of bandits, General Car
ranza sends a statement to President
Wilson to the effect that Huerta holds
representative power, and denounces
i the administration for its intervention
lti Mexico. This is about the last straw,
and yet this was the "constitutional"
loader in whoso interests the barriers
Were swept away at the Texas border
so that he could obtain all the arms
and ammunition he could pay for in his
effort to unhorse Huerta. This mes
sage of Carranza was prepared at a
conference between the alleged head
of the "constitutional" bandits and
Villa, the brutal butcher who haH been
carving his way from the Rio Grande
southward.
KEEPING CONGRESS BUSY
THE extent to which Congres
sional interference with legiti
mate business is held responsi
ble for the present trade depres
sion is illustrated by the writer of the
weekly steel market summary in the
current issue of "The Iron Age." Says
he, commenting on the prospect of war
with Mexico and its relation to the
iron industry:
The drying up of the new busi
ness in most forms of rolled pro
ducts has been telling further on
the steel works operations, and the
average of employed capacity is
now probably 65 per cent, or under.
With the buying at such a low ebb,
interest might be looked for in the
business possibilities of the Mexi
can situation; but for obvious rea
sons the trade shows no such re
sponse to the events of the past few
days as to the beginning of hos
tilities with Spain sixteen years
ago. Account is taken of the
stimulus given to armament pro-"
grams by any conflict or friction
between nations, but no early ef
fect upon domestic trade is seen in
the present clash except in the pos
sible diversion of Congressional at
tention from hurtful meddling witli
business.
In other words, the only hope for a
return to prosperity is to keep Presi
dent Wilson and Congress so busy!
spending war funds that they will not
have time to enact more injurious leg-}
islation. Truly a pleasing prospect!
These are the days when the River
Front parks and tiowers appear to the
best advantage. There is now extend
ing from the pumping station at North
street to Harris Park, a solid stretch
of golden bloom that is attracting the
attention of hundreds of people who
enjoy the beauty of this section of the
River Front. Superintendent of Parks
Taylor is busy now with his forces in
all of the park system, and with the
entrance of May the outdoor resorts of
the people will be ready for them.
COMPLIMENT FOR KUNKEL
IT is not often that a Legislature
pays a judge of the courts the
compliment of declaring its aproval
of one of his judicial decisions. But
that is just what the Attorney Gen
eral's Department says the Legislature
of Pennsylvania did for Judge Kunkei
in a recent instance.
In an opinion just handed down the
Attorney General's Department de
cides that county authorities in every
county in Pennsylvania are entitled to
charge the State at the rate of $2 per
week for each insane criminal main
tained in a county institution. This
ruling will save large sums to the tax
payers of many counties which care
for their own criminal insane and it
is based on one of Judge Kunkel's
decisions
The point was raised by Dr. Frank
Woodbury, secretary of the committee
on lunacy of the State Board of Pub
lic Charities and it hinges largely on a
construction of State law by President
Judge George Ktinkel, of Dauphin
county, now a candidate for the State
Supreme Court bench. The case In
question was that of the trustees of
the Danville State Lunatic Hospital
vs. Lycoming County, tried in the
Dauphin County Court. In his opinion,
which was sustained by the Supreme
Court, Judge Ivunkel decided that the
term "indigent insane" as used in the
statute providing that the State Is
liable for their keep to the amount of
$2 per week "is broad enough to covet
all indigent insane persons, whether
they be criminal or not."
On the strength of this the Attorney
General's Department rules that county
officials are entitled to receive $2 from
the State treasury tach week for each
Indigent Insane person maintained in
any of the county institutions. The
case had attracted the attention of
county authorities all over the State who
were not acquainted with the prece
dent established by the Supreme Court
decision sustaining Judge Kunkel's
opinion in the Lycoming county suit.
This decision was so strong that the
Legislature of 1913 passed an act of
which the Attorney General's Depart
ment says: "This statute is praetlcaJly
a legislative declaration of its ap
proval of the decision" by Judge
Kunkel in the Lycoming county case.
This Is only an instance of the
splendid service Judge Kunkel has
rendered during his occupancy of the
Dauphin county bench. Justice, law
1 and hard common sense arc combined
in his opinions, which In every impor
tant instance have been sustained
when appealed to the higher courts.
With the more spectacular scrap lu
Mexico the controversy in the Demo
cratic party in Pennsylvania is pushed
to the rear. But at least one news
paper still gives the news from Mexico
second place in the mutter of import
ance.
"We who are about to die salute
you!"
I EVENING CHAT I
Judging l'rom reports brought to
this city from Perry and other coun
ties up the Juniata Valley and, in
deed, from other mountain sections of
the State there are many deer to be
seen about the valleys and the num
ber of does has materially increased.
The passage of the law prohibiting the
killing of deer, without horns has had
the effect of causing deer to multiply
and in some sections of the State,
notably this vicinity, the deer have
appeared close to towns and have be
come a nuisance to farmers because
of destruction of crops. Deer have
been seen swimming the Susquehanna
and Juniata upon a number of occa
sions and they have been so tame
that they have not run away when
teams have passed within an eighth
of a mile. There are probably more
deer in Dauphin county than for years
and the closing of Lebanon to deer
hunting will have the effect of in
creasing Dauphin deer because the
section of our daughter county in
which it is proposed to place the deer
for breeding purposes is along the
same ridges that extend into Dauphin.
The northern end of Lebanon affords
some fine hunting country, say people
familiar with it and properly stocked
and protected would be a hunting
ground close to Harrisburg, whose
sportsmen might well co-operate with
the Lebanon organization.
While interest In the Mexican situ
ation at present is at fever heat, it
must not be imagined that no longer
"the little birds sing East and the lit
tle birds sing West." Folk are still in
terested in some other things as the
telephone queries received at the Tele
graph editorial rooms show. Yester
day, while scores of calls were on the
war, fully a dozen calls came Into the
office of this type:
"Who are the Giants playin'?"
"When'll the tennis courts open,
this year?"
"Which blooms first the hepatica
or the anemone?"
"When is the primary?"
"What is the height of the river?"
Panic-stricken brides and grooms
to-be are not exactly uncommon in
the marriage license bureau Put it is
doubtful If a more decidedly "rattled"
lover ever applied for a license than
one of several who called yesterday. He
carefully answered every question ex
actly contrary to what he meant and
what would have been legal. And the
pretty bride-to-be got a whole lot of
fun out of it.
The question as to whether or not
the applicant was an imbecile provid
ed a good start. "Are you an imbe
cile?" sweetly asked the pretty clerk.
"Yes—yes'm—" stammered the fu
ture lord and master of a now house
of the future.
"Oh, dear me, then I can't marry
you," promptly interrupted the bride.
Well, they settled after some
laughter and then the blushing youth
took a fresh start.
"Are you physically able to support
a family?" was the next question.
"No —m," gulped the husband of
the future, "no'in, not that X know
of —"
"So—o," accusingly cut in the pretty
bride-to-be.
Eventually the badly mixed young
man untangled himself and the pair
left. The young man feverishly mop
ped his sweating brow as he walked
out.

THOROUGH!
trcfew York Sun]
The job is laid out for us, and the
American people ate going to see it
through. They are going to stand be
hind the President and the flag. There
may be much less enthusiasm mani
fested lor the President than for the
Hag, but there won't be any copper
headism. There is no use in looking
backward just now or in discussing
past blunders of policy, theory or ac
tion. There is no use at the present
time in picturing the might-have
beens or in attempting to fix the re
sponsible authorship of the war. These
questions must now be left to history.
The events of day before yesterday
and yesterday at Vera Cruz and Tam
pico created a new Mexican situation
detached in every particular but one
from the antecedent situation.
The practical result of the notion
that there can be a war on a pingle
individual is to put the United States
into alliance ■with Villa on the one
hand and with Zapata on the other,
and to make our troops substantially
the third of three co-operating columns
converging for the destruction of the
miserable liucrta. Any day may wit
ness the demolition of the strange
fallacy on which the President's poli
tical theory of operations Is based, re
storing to the animus of our relations
with Mexico the broad and honorable
character with which Senator Root
and Senator Lodge tried in vain to
invest it.
Above all other things patriotism
should now hope that the same policy
of adequate provision for attack which
sent so large a part of our naval force
to. the guir at the very outset will at
tend every other branch of operations
until the difficult and mighty unpleas
ant task is finished. Two hundred and
fifty thousand men rather than fifty
thousand, if that will accelerate the
coming of peace! Three hundred mil
lions of initial appropriation Instead of
fifty, if that is needed to insure a
swift, crushing campaign! The main
i fact for the country to consider is that
in the performance of this now inevi
table task thorough must be the
word; and as to military measures the
completest will be the shortest and
most humune. The costliest in the be
ginning will be the least expensive In
the end.

Members of the city and county Re
publican committees irt Harrlsburg
will meet this evening at the county
headquarters in the AVyeth building.
The election laws will be fully ex
plained and plans made for a full
registration of the party vote In the
city. The last day to register is
April 2'J and efforts will be directed
toward getting out careless voters. A
large attendance of committeemen is
expected.
Secretary William B. Wilson and
Gifi'ord Pinchot met in Carlisle for the
first time in the course of their po
litical talks on the Chautauqua plat
form. Secretary Wilson, who failed
to appear for his scheduled lecture
yesterday afternoon, said he has no
apology to offer, as he had to attend
a Cabinet meeting, and resorted to
automobile to cover the distance from
Washington to Carlisle, lie motored
back to Washington after hiß lecture.
There is much soreness in Carlisle
over the manner in which people were
buncoed Into buying tickets to hear
political speeches.
, Gabriel H. Moyer. of Lebanon
county, withdrew last evening as a
candidate for the Legislature. In his
letter of. withrawal Mr. Moyer, who
has served four previous legislative
terms, and who was floor leader in
1909, said he did not wish to sacrifice
his law practice.
Michael J. Ryan's campaign for the
Democratic gubernatorial nomination
was carried yesterday and last night
into Cameron and Clinton counties.
The net result of the first day of the
third week of Mr. Ryan's tour of the
State was the confident prediction of
the Ryan forces, apparently based on
concrete facts, that the city solicitor of
Philadelphia would carry both coun
ties in his primary contest with Vanee
C. McCormick. Ryan sentiment is
strong in Cameron county townships
and the Palmer-MoCormick leaders
admit their strength is in the country
districts, where the vote is so small as
to be almost negligible, and that Ryan,
in all probability, will sweep Em
porium, the main center of population.
David M. Graham, postmaster at
Mahanoy City, has voluntarily resigned.
Charges were made some months ago
that he had written an anonymous let
ter attacking Judge Brumm. These
were investigated and as the result
First Assistant Postmaster General
Roper informed Representative Lee
that Graham would be dismissed and
that a successor should be selected by
the Schuylkill county congressman.
This investigation was completed on
October 18 last. Ten days later Gra
ham came to Harrisburg, where he
met Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Blakslee. He there took an affi
davit that he had not written the let
ter. As the result Mr. Graham was
retained in office despite the previous
announcement of Roper.
I liITTERSTOTHE EDITOR I
M'COItMICK IS MOIHiST AXI) SHY
To the Editor of the Telegraph:
Thero was thrown upon my doorstep
to-day a four-page circular of news
paper size booming the Harrisburg
Patriot and especially its owner, Vance
McCormick, who is conducting a mod
est campaign for himself for the office
of Governor. What I have particularly
in tnlnd is the egotism and vanity of
one who will take unto himself credit
for all the good things that ever hap
pen in Harrisburg and ignore all other
persons. Surrounding himself with
the pictures of the "before and after"
conditions in this city as the result of
the improvement campaigns during
the last few years, McCormick takes
all the credit and mentions not a word
about the hundreds of good citizens |
who were actually responsible for the j
regeneration and transformation of'
the city.
One who was interested in that tirst
campaign for better conditions here
tells me that McCormick as a candi
date for mayor in 1902 was indifferent
to the improvement crusade and didn't
want to be too closely identified with
it for fear of the effect of the oppo
sition on liis candidacy. He wanted to
be Mayor more than he wanted the)
improvements.
Also, it must not be forgotten that
many of the most important changes
for the better in Harrisburg have come
since the brief term of McCormick as
mayor. He was a byproduct of the
improvement campaign of 1902 and
those > who were most potent In that
first crusade regarded the election of
mayor as a mere incident of the whole
proposition. Any effort to give McCor
mick sole credit for the great work of
Improvement in this city covering a.
period of more than twelve years will
recoil upon the head of the ambitious
individual who is now denouncing
everybody opposed to his further po
litical schemes.
Any attempt to glorify Met'nriniek
at the expense of I b" 'good
men and WOIIK n ' -ho
gave of their time ; i. the
several campaigns far >
ment of the city is sinipb indefensible.
We presume the eulogy as pronounced
by J. Horace McFarland, who refers
to McCormick's "singular modesty
amounting at times to almost shy
ness," is in exchange for the Patriot's
fulsome laudation of McFarland a day
or two ago. In any mutual admiration
society these two Individuals are en
titled to charter membership.
J. Horace also tells us how little in
terested the pink-tea candidate for
Governor is "in the tlutterings of
fashion" and how "it is a curious part
of Mr. McCormick's personality that
those who come in contact with his
heavy hand seem to cherish no resent
ment against him." But he didn't tell
us, as Mr. Berry has, that Vance has
hobnobbed with kings.

VIM'I.K. BLONSOM TIME
Ily Wing Dinger
We've listened all the winter
To music 'bout the land
Of Normandle and blossoms
By gentle, breeaes fanned
These days of rain and sunshine,
However, soon will bring
A heap more pretty blossoms
About which we may sing.
The apple and the pear tree.
The peach and cherry, too,
Will soon be In full blossom.
Their best they're trying to do.
And then that land of Normandie,
'Bout which they make a fuss,
I'll tell you, folks, will not have
A bloomin' thing on us.
HUHIITA AND WILSON
[From the New York Post.]
Huerta's characteristic course in the
latest crisis once more raises the ques
tion whether his Is an exceptionally
line sense of humor or whether he has
no sense of humor at all. The bland
way In which he will bring forward
point after point' and exception after
exception, knowing all the time that
he must yield in the end, may be guile
or mere stupid obstinacy; but the re
sult is the same. In his negotiations
with the United States Huerta must be
conceded to have behaved with extreme
self-possession. Whether the self-pos
session and the punctilious language of
Ills communications are his own or his
Ministers' is not material. The Im
portant thing is that it behooves the
administration at Washington to keep
as tlrin a check on Its temper as the
Mexican dictator has kept on his own.
President Wilson must recognize that
It would be absurd, after holding out
so manfully for peace in the face of
'much serious provocation, to be merely
nagged into war. In Huerta the ad-

ministration faces nn opponent more
stolid than resolute, who apparently
refuses to worry more than a day
ahead. For us the problem consists in
weighing the far-off consequences of
every step we make.
THE "WATCHFUL WAITING"
[Philadelphia Inquirer]
The time for argument has gone by.
Shots in anger have been fired. Amer
ican blood stains the streets of Vera
Cruz. The war—the war that was to
be peaceful and that was aimed at
lTuerta alone —has begun. None but
thoroughly impracticable persons
could see any other end. However,
discussion must now merge into ac
tion. The appeal is now to patriot
ism, and from the border to border
there will be a response to any call
that may issue for sufficient troops to
s« e the war to a finish, no matter
where it may lead. Only let us go
into this war with our eyes open to
what it means. We are lighting to
sustain a mistaken administration
policy adopted a year ago—and for
very little else.
So let us have done with theories.
They are unworthy of the President
of the United States. Since the Presi
dent considers that it is necessary to
punish Huerta, and since he has sent
his fleet of battleships with thousands
of marines and bluejackets to do the
punishing, the country must sustain
him, although it be led into a long
and costly war involving tens of thou
sands of troops and millions upon mil
lions of dollars.
THE BEAUTY OF DICKENS
The reason so many of our young
students fall to appreciate the beauties
of literature, or to realize It* advan
tages as a means of culture and refine
ment, its individual application, is that
the method of teaching has been too
analytical. The music of literature
has been that produced by the gaunt
ghost of rhetoric playing a tintinnabu
lation upon the coffin of Statistics and
Chronolgy with the dry bones of Gram
mar. The study of literature must be
revelatory, interpretative, expressive.
A careful, consistent, expressive study
of one author, an Intimate acquaint
ance with him, will prove more profit
able. than a cursory, analytical study
! of a dozen.

IN I'll RE FRIENDSHIP
[From tiie New York Sun.]
Addressing the Congress of the Unit
ed States on Monday, April 20, Presi
dent Woodrow Wilson said:
"This Government can, I earnestl
hope, in no circumstancos be forced ir
to war with the people of Mextco.
"Our feelings for the people c
Mexico is one of deep and genuin
friendship."
The same day President Victorian
Huerta, of Mexico, speaking to 111
newspaper correspondents In his cap
tal, declared that:
"In the remote ease of friction b(
tween the countries the people of th
republic will bear no animosity towai
the people of tlie I'tilted Statos, whos
neighbors they are."
These preliminary protestations ha\
ing been duly recorded, each lead<
with the utmost energy hastened tl
preparations for shooting up the pec
pie of the other, confident that ever
case of shrapnel, every steel jackete
bullet, every solid shot and every sabi
cut would be given and received in
spirit of complete amity and concord.
