MOVPAY EVENING, MAY A
LYMAN I), fiII.BERT
DEATH has invaded Harrisburg
with great frequency during the
lant year and some of our most
prominent and useful citizens
have fallen before liis shafts. This
morning Lyman D. Gilbert answered
the call and in his passing the com
munity loses not only a distinguished
and able lawyer, but a citizen who was
identified with every forward move
ment of the city and whose services
were always freely given to the u ]>-
building of Ills native place. Mr. C4H
liert was a modest and unostentatious
man who did quietly but nevertheless
effectively the things which would
benefit the community and promote
the welfare of the people, lie was
one of thoso men who had no taste for
spectacular display of his own achieve
ments nor was he accustomed to make
public his many benefactions. "He
who gives in secret shall be rewarded
openly" is a promise which applies
with particular force to Mr. Gilbert in
his attitude toward his unfortunate
and needy fellow men. Those who
knew him best were conscious of the
bigness of his heart and there are
scores and hundreds in Harrisburg to
day who will pay tribute out of grate
ful memories to the great lawyer who
has dropped out of the ranks.
Mr. Gilbert was a many-sided man,
but only those who were in intimate
touch with him appreciated his line
sense of humor and the wit which
made him one of the most delightful
members of any circle, lie was the
personal friend of many eminent lead
ers and statesmen and his reminis
cences of these men were so delight
ful in their quaint humor and the
ability of the distinguished lawyer to
analyze the qualities of bis friends
that on every occasion those about
him endeavored to draw from Mr. Gil
bert's great fund of stories further
knowledge of the men of his day.
He was fond of the best in litera
ture and with his keen, discriminating
and appreciative mind he got all that
was good out of the classics and the
later authors.
Probably no man in Pennsylvania
has written more platforms for the
Republican party than Mr. Gilbert.
He was frequently called upon to pre
pare resolutions on important public
questions and his power and felicity
of expression were recognized by his
fellow members of the Bar. He loved
the practice of law and was an up
holder of the best traditions of the
legal fraternity.
Another strong man in this com
munity has fallen. The good that he
has done and the charity which he
has dispensed and his public spirit will
constitute the best features of his
life's memorial.
Many a man who would shudder at
the mere thought of carrying out the
ashes from the kitchen range will spend
whole days canvassing for votes for a
man who will turn up his nose at him
the day after election.
I'AHK EXTENSION EFFECTS
WONDEIi how many people of
Harrisburg have given any
thought to tho development of
building activities and the in
crease of real estate values resulting
from the operations in the Capitol Parle
extension zone. When the enlargement
of the park was first suggested there
were many good citizens who were
apprehensive that tho blotting out of
this largo area of improved property
would involve a serious loss to tho
revenues of the city. There was somo
danger on this score, but the matter
has been so admirably handled by thu
commission in charge, of this work
on behalf of tho State and tho com
missioners have acted so fairly, not
only with the Stato but with the city
and the property owners, that all in
terests have been fully conserved.
Instead of the elimination of this
property proving a detriment to the
city it is likely to prove a real benefit
In the end. Most of the manufac
turing concerns have located else
where in the city and have replaced
their old buildings with larger and
more modern structures. Also most
of those who lived in that zone and
who have been forced to move to
plher parts of tho city have found
MONDAY EVENING,
more desirable dwellings—either new
or remodeled houses.
As a matter of fact, the trans
formation of the area covered by the
extension of the park has been a bless
ing in disguise for Harrisburg and a
proper improvement from the stand
point of the Commonwealth. Splendid
headway has been made in the pur
chase of the property and it is ex
pected the commission will be able to
make a most favorable report of its
operations at the next session of the
Legislature.
Governor Tener would be justified
in submitting in his last message to the
Legislature a recommendation looking
to the proper landscape treatment of
the whole park zone from Third street
to the railroad and from Walnut to
North streets. As the Governor who
made possible this fine improvement,
he is the one to outline the iinal
treatment of the park district.
The Democratic administration took
hold in Washington with the promise
to introduce economies. Yet almost
without exception the laws it' hat*
passed have reduced revenues and in
creased the number of Federal em
ployes. The only President to seriously
and successfully practice economy was
Taft.
GENERAL SICKLES
HE death of General Daniel E.
T Sickles removes from life one
who will be longest remembered,
possibly, for his military service.
As one of the graat commanders of
the Civil War he won a fame that
classes him among the foremost of the
world's dashing fighters. Longstreet
said it was Sickles who saved the day
for the Union army at Gettysburg. t>n
a dozen less important fields he led
his men to victory.
But Sickles possessed a type of cour
age higher than that which took him
sword in hand to the cannon mouths of
rebel batteries. After he had slain the
despoller of his homo, and had been
acquitted, on the ground of tho "un
written law," he took back his erring
wife, and to those of his friends who
expressed surprise he said:
I am not aware of any statute or
code of morals which makes it in
famous to forgive a woman. I can
see in that almost universal de
nunciation with which she is fol
lowed to my threshold, the misery
and peril from which 1 have rescued
the mother of my daughter. 1 shall
strive to prove to all that an erring
wife and mother may be forgiven
and redeemed.
In the light of his turbulent life
General Sickles could hardly be, held
up as an example of Christian man
hood, but there is in this splendidly
courageous declaration more than a
hint of the gentle spirit of the Master,
when He said: "Let him who is with
out sin cast tho first stone."
Italian workmen on Government
owned railroads are about to strike for
a minimum wage of sixty cents a day.
Notwithstanding which passenger fares
are higher and the service poorer in
Italy than in the United States. Being
an argument for Government owner
ship in til© United States? Yes? No?
BUSINESS AND POLITICS
WE quote from a generally
optimistic and always author
itative publication, the Phila
delphia News Bureau:
The number of employes at the
Baldwin Bocomotive Works to-day
is 7,800. On May 1. 1913, the num
ber employed was 17.200. These fig
ures indicate tile effect of the in
dustrial depression on labor. Bald
wins is not alone affected but other
establishments have largely re
duced their working forces.
Again, we note the following in this
week's issue of the Black Diamond,
the official organ of the coal trade:
What lias been to the business
men a sense of uneasiness for some
months lias ueveloped into a sense
of depression. The uneasiness over
our foreign complications has dis
turbed our trade abroad and re
flected upon our trade at home.
Uneasiness over the trend of legis
lation at Washington has brought
caution into our construction pro
grams and has slowed down busi
ness at home. Also, the change that
is gradually and slowly taking
place in the banking system has
brought about caution on the nart
of the banking people with the re
sult that money is tight. All of this
caution and conservatism has been
a little too much for business men
who have been accustomed to go
ing at a rapid pace. Business gen
erally has slowed down. Only one
railroad is reported as being in the
market for coal this week, and it
took only 25,000 tons. Only one
other railroad was reported as be
ing in the market for contracts im
mediately and it was demanding- a
sharp reduction in price as the only
inducement which would lead it to
buy now. The steel trade is dis
posed to suspend shipments on coke
rather than place orders for new
supplies.
Yet our Democratic friends, led by
Secretary Redfield, have "the face" to
tell us that the country is prosperous,
that "legitimAte business" has not
been disturbed by the Wilson Adminis
tration, that all the Democratic legis
lation has been stimulating to trade
and that the Underwood tariff law is
a good thing for both employer and
employe.
If these things are true won't the
Democratic statesmen at Washington
tell us what in the name of good times
is the matter?
Things must do pretty bad at Wash
ington when that Prince of Disturbers,
William Randolph Hearst, cries enough
and demands respite from the legisla
tive attacks on business.
HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF
IT is interesting to note the simi
larity of comment on conditions
now and just previous to the Mex
ican War.
For instance, how nearly the words
of President Jackson in his address to
Congress at that time describe the
situation to-day. Said the President:
"The length of time since some of the
injuries have been committed, the re
peated and unavailing applications for
redress, the wanton character of some
of the outrages upon the property and
persons of our citizens, upon tho offi
cers and flag of the United States, in
dependent of recent insults to this
government and people by the late
extraordinary Mexican minister, would
justify in the eyes of all nations im
mediate war." He accordingly recom
mended reprisals, enforced by the use
of the navy, in case Mexico shoud re
fuse to settle "upon another demand
• • * made from on board one of
our vessels of war on the coast of
Mexico."
Truly history does repeat itself. But
in this Instance it has failed lament
ably in the White House end of th» Job.
I EVENING CHAT 1
Two such days as Saturday and yes
terday make the call of the flowers
pretty strong and thousands of people
of this part of Pennsylvania spent
hours admiring the blossoms in the
yards of the cities and towns and
walking along country roads or into
mountains and valleys. Nature is sing
ing now and the flowers of every .hue
are the notes which tell that it Is
Spring throughout the Susquehanna
Valley and that the time for visiting
Wildwood Park and the First Moun
tain is at hand. For weeks arbutus
has been in the markets, having come
with the dandelion but now the violet
is carpeting the roadsides and the
fruit trees are gorgeous with their
flowers of white, pink and that reddish
tint, which we hail, apple blossom. It
is really worth while now to take an
hour or so in the early evening to go
on one of the trolley lines radiating
from the city to get the air of the open
country and to see the splendor of the
pledges of fruitfulness which are to be
lound by the thousands throughout
this part of Dauphin county and which
can be seen from the city brightening
the landscape of Cumberland and York
counties and even distinguished in
Perry county from the heights of
Keservoir LI ill or the slopes of the
Susquehanna Water Gap. The people
who took walks into the country came
back yesterday with their hands laden
with violets and, it must be confessed,
with some branches of flowering ap
ple, pear, plum or peach trees. But
no one begrudged them. The season is
late and everyone is glad to see tho
flowers.
While some of tho gardens in Har
risburg which have been notable for
years for their displays of tulips and
other early flowers are brilliant with
i ho colors ot the great bloom of Spring
time, Capitol Park is really the great
show place. In front of the building,
skirting the plaza, are two beds of
tulips, an aggregate of about 400 feet
of blooming tulips. They are in six
sections, red, white and the gay red
and gold of one of the varieties which
has won such favor in this country.
The colors alternate and the Capitol
officials arc taking a big pride in the
display. In addition the several hya
cinth beds are now bright with flowers
and a walk through the Capitol will
repay tho busy man, just as will a
stroll through Reservoir or Wildwood
Parks reward the man or woman with
more leisure.
School students took advantage of
the tine weather on Saturday after
noon to go "botanizing." No doubt
there was a good bit of attention paid
to the flora of such sections of Dau
phin and Cumberland counties as were
visited by tho groups of students, but
the boys and girls seemed to be as
glad ot the opportunity to get out into
the open after the long weeks of the
deferred Spring as to trace the de
yelopmniit ot th© hujmble "johnny
jumpup or to dissect the blossom of
a sour apple tree. Probably to-day
there was a pood bit of learned discus
sion ol various leaves and iiowers "dis
covered" on the foothills and inquiries
about the soldier blackbird and the
habits of the song sparrow in the
schools of the city, and it is to bo sin
cerely hoped that next Saturday will
be lino so that the study of nature at
first hand and in the flower tide niuv
be pushed. It is good practical edu
cation and the teachers maintain
school spirit amazingly by excursions.
On only commences to find out how
many fruit trees there are in a city
like Harrisburg at this season of the
J ea V'i trees, resembling gigan
tic blooms of snowball bushes, are to
be seen rising from many of the yards
of the city and the delicate color of
the peach trees is to be "spotted" by
the younger generation. Really, when
one thinks of it it is astonishing the
number of fruit trees in the built-up
portions of Harrisburg and. flowering
fruit trees are to be found in unsus
pected number within a few blocks of
the C ourthouso mid how upricots j?row
not far from one of the. chief theaters
and a man in one of the central resi
dential districts cultivates strawber
ries, which, by the way, are blooming
now.
Magnolia trees throughout Harris
burg are adding to the attractiveness
of nature's dis play and there is noth
ing more attractive for a lawn. The
wonder is that there are not trees of
this notable beauty in the parks. Some
Of the magnolias are well known, one
being on the Keily property at Front
and Reily. Although fifty years of
age, if is covered with blooms, and is
perhaps the finest of the variety in
Harrisburg and the country round
about.

OUt FLAG "MADE IX ENGLAND"
[Philadelphia Bulletin.!
Sentiment sometimes deserves rec
ognition and public opinion will en
dorse the plea of Congressman Rogers
to Secretary Daniels that the bid of
English manufacturers for the bunting
contract of the navy be rejected and
tlie American product used, even If at
a higher cost. The contract amounts
to but $40,000 a year, the difference in
the bids cannot be of great importance,
and although it is of no material con
sequence where the cloth is woven, the
sentimental interest involved will
greatly overbalance the paltry saving
which might be made in the accept
ance of the English bid.
And oven though it be fully consist
ent with the party principles which
the Secretary of the Navy represents
to buy in the cheapest murket of the
world and to disregard the interests
of higher-paid and better-circum
stanced American labor in patronizing
the product of foreign workshops and
mills, it is to be remembered that its
free trade program does not hold
ukase from a majority of the voters
and that there is little or no reason
to believe that protection, reasonably
adjusted, has finally been abandoned
or that it soon shall be. Certainly this
administration cannot afford to'have
its flags tagged "Made in England."

J. Benjamin Dimmick, former mayor
of Scranton and candidate for Repub
lican nomination for United States sen
ator, will be greeted by many Repub
licans of Dauphin and Cumberland
counties at the Senate Hotel this aft
ernoon and evening:. It will be Mr.
Dlmmlck's only visit to Harrisburg in
the course of his campaign and it is
expected that many Republicans will
extend a welcome to the man who was
mayor of Scranton and who is making
his light striStly inside party lines.
Mr. Dimmick will arrive from Phila
delphia about 3.30 and remain at the
Senate until evening. Owing to the
death of Lyman D. Gilbert, a dinner
which had been arranged for Mr. Dim
mick will not be given. Mr. Gilbert
was Deputy Attorney General under
Mr. Dimmlck's father, who was Attor
ney General in 1873, and there was a
strong friendship existing between
them. While here Mr. Dimmick will
be a guest of Thomas T. Wierman.
To-morrow Mr. Dimmick will go to
Gettysburg and thence to Chambers
burg and McConnellsburg on Wednes
day. Thursday ho will be in Bedford.
Friday in Somerset and Saturday in
Uniontown. When Mr. Dimntick fin
ishes this tour he will have visited
over half of the counties of the State.
The final week will be devoted to mass
meetings in large cities.
H. N. Gitt, a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for Congress
in the York-Adams district, lust night
made an attack on Con
gressman A. R. Brodbeck,
in which he makes serious Brodbeck
charges against the con- Assailed
greasman. These charges at Home
are contained in a letter
sent to Brodbeck and
made public by Gitt. Gitt asserts that
the congressman is unlit to represent
the people of his district for the rea
sons that while sheriff of York county
he overcharged the county for feeding
prisoners and that during the cam
paten of Messrs. McClean, MeSherry,
Ktese.v and Zeigler, Democratic candi
dates for Con Kress, Brodbeck used his
influence against them, and in several
instances did so in response to Repub
lican influences. Gitt says he will pro
duce documentary evidence to prove
his charges. Brodbeck is very strong
with the reorganization faction.
A special dispatch from Altoona
says: "Enrollment just completed in
this city with that of the country dis
trict of Blair county
shows conclusively that
Republicans many voters are getting
(iuiniiii; in back to their former
Blair County political faith and
neither Washington nor
Socialist parties will poll
much more than 5 per cent, of the
vote which they cast here in the re
cent past. The Blair county voters,
particularly Republicans, are aroused
to the importance of the offices to be
tilled this year and from all indications
a big vote will be polled at the ap
proaching primaries. It is conceded
that practically the unanimous Repub
lican vote of the entire county will be
accorded Martin G. Brumbaugh, com
ing from the neighboring Huntingdon
county, for the nomination for Gov
ernor. In the Democratic fight the
sentiment here appears to favor
Michael J. Ryan, of Philadelphia, over
his opponent, Vance C. McCormick,
for nomination. In the United States
senatorship contest it is manifest that
Senator Boies Penrose has gained
wonderfully in strength throughout
this section.
Congressman Robert E. Bee, one of
the conspicuous Democrats in Con
gress and the man who was hailed as
a possiblo candidate for
Governor a year ago, has
stirred up Democracy by Lee Comes
asserting that he favors Out Openly
Ryan over McCormick. lor Ryan
"1 am convinced that the
only hope of Democratic
success in Pennsylvania in November
depends on the nomination of Michael
J- Ryan for Governor," said he. "I
would not now offer an opinion if I
aid not foel that the success of our
entire party ticket, local, state and
national, is in grave danger. Our party
in Pennsylvania lias the Uest chance it
has had in more than a generation to
achieve a sweeping victory in Novem
ber, provided ordinary horse sense is
exercised and a broad, conciliatory
spirit shown in the election of candi
dates. I have of late been in touch
with many sincere Democrats from
many sections of the State, men who
want nothing more than the glory of
sharing in the victory that is possible,
and they are of one mind as to the
means by which that victory can be
won."
Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh, candi
date for the Republican nomination
lor Governor, has written to the Child
Labor Association: "X think you will
find me in entire accord and sympathy
with the thing in which you believe
most earnestly," in reply to the Child
Labor Association's questions as to his
stand on a Juvenile eight-hour law and
prohibiting employment of anvone un
der 1G in night work.
Senator Penrose begins the second
week of his Western Pennsylvania tour
to-day. With Pittsburgh as his head
quarters he will visit Woodlawn,
Rochester, Reaver Palls and other
points to-day. To-morrow he will bo
in Pittsburgh and on Wednesday in
Butler, the following days being spent
in industrial centers around the Smoky

FROM TIIE STATE PRESS
BEAT'S A FACE DOCTOR
What has become of the old-fash
ioned girl who used to get up early on
the morning of the first day of May,
go out into the grass of the yard in
absolute silence and lier bare feet,
repeat a little incantation and wash
her freckles away with dew? The!
treatment is no longer guaranteed to
cure freckles, but we will bet it would
greatly Improve any number of com
plexions.—Johnstown Leader.
NO STRAWS, NOR STICKS
Since the Daniels prohibition order
in the navy, straws no longer show
how the wind is blowing. There will
be no straws after July I.—Lebanon
Daily News.
HURRAY FOR THIS
California has taken the bit in her
teeth and proposes to make the Pull
man Company pay its porters living
wages so that it will not bo neces
sary for the jiublic to givfe generous
tips for services which the company
ought to provide. Thirty days have
been allowed in which to comply with
the order. We hope other States
will follow. We have in Pennsylva
nia commission whose attention
should be called to the same matter.

$5.00 Saved
Is $5.00 Earned
You save $5.00 by buying 10 tons of coal
this month for next winter.
Coal prices were reduced 50c per ton on
April 1 on all sizes except Pea and Buck
wheat.
Five dollars is quite an item to be made so
easily.
Besides the coal shipped now is usually
much better quality than shipped during
freezing weather.
