TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 12
CAN'T EAT CAKE AND HAVE IT
THAT you cannot eat your cake
and have it, too, is very well
Illustrated by an article In the
Wall Street Journal of to-day,
setting forth the conditions of our
foreign trade under the new tariff
regulations. The Journal reports that
aocordlng to government statistics, in
the first six months of the new Demo
cratic tariff law, the import of manu
factured products into the United
States has Increased, the export of our
own manufactured articles has de
creased and the import of raw ma
terials for manufacturing purposes in
this country has also decreased.
A careful analysis of the figures
shows that the Democratic adminis
tration is in grave danger of facing a
tremendous deficit in. the national
treasury. Presumably this falling off
In duties on imports is to be met by
the income tax, as the Journal ex
plains, but nobody knows how much
money this will bring, and Instead of
curtailing expenses in order- to meet
the possible reduction of revenues the
Democratic Congress is appropriating
more money than ever before.
Having opened our market to the
Invasion of the cheap-labor products
of Europe one might have thought it
would have been clever politics to
have so shaped the legislative program
at Washington as to stimulate pro
duction in other ways and to encour
age those industries not seriously in
jured by the tariff to operate to their
maximum capacity. Instead, every
conceivable obstacle is being placed in
the pathway of harassed industry. Un
tried experiments of legislation are on
the calendars of Congress, fads of ex
tremists are to be enacted into law,
the Interstate Commerce Commission
Is taking its own leisurely course with
the railroads and the Department of
Justice pursues Its disturbing but fruit
less search for trust law violations.
The Democratic administration is
trying to eat its cake and have it, too.
It is determined to carry through its
program of radical business experi
mentation and hopes regardless of re
sults to be sustained at the polls in
November. The people who have
money to invest are about tired of
hearing from Secretary Redfield that
the "country is in a highly prosperous
condition" and the wage-earner knows
better than anybody that this con
dition of flourishing prosperity exists
only in the minds of those who are
engaged in the gentle art of trying to
fool the people into continuing them
In office.
The Wilson administration places
itself in the position of opening the.
American market to the raids of low
paid foreign labor, harassing American
business at every turn and then ex
pecting to be commended for causing
industrial companies to pass their divi
dends and for taking millions of dol
lars from the pockets of workmen.
PROHIBITION* AMKXDMKNT
ONE of the most interesting pieces
of legislation now before Con
gress is the bill for a prohibition
constitutional amendment. It is
row before the House and will con
tinue constantly so until passed or
during the entire life of this Congress,
which dies March 4, 1915. Advocates
of the measure say it will be voted on
at an early date and Republican, Pro
gressive and Democratic leaders are
quoted as saying that it will be passed
by the necessary two-thirds vote.
Some ardejjt Prohibitionists frankly
express their pleasure that the bills
were reported without recommen
dation, as this prevents its being con
sidered in any sense a party measure;
and as the President has no power of
veto over such a bill, and Mr. Hobson,
spokesman for the Prohibitionists, haa
declared that it will be made strictly a
question of submitting prohibition to
the people ami not of subscribing to
that policy, the division will not be
along party lines.
It is the first time in history that
the question of national prohibition
has seriously confronted either body
of Congress. Many members are de
bating whether or not a constitutional
amendment bill Is privileged business
which can be called up at any time.
The question of whether or not Chair
man Henry, of the rules committee, is
willing to bring in a rule favoring
»&rIX CjOu*idexa.tiun ia also much dis-vj
TUESDAY EVENING,
cussed, It Is certain, however, that
only parliamentary Juggling can pre
vent a vote, and the publicity which
suoh Juggling would receive does not
eonduoa to Its being safely attempted.
The bill requires a two-thirds vote,
and when It Is pnsaed by this majority
in both the House and the Senate and
Is ratified by three-fourths of the State
legislatures It becomes constitutional
law. If a State refuses to ratify, It
ean later reverse its attitude, but when
it is nnae ratified the step cannot be
retraeed, There Is no time limit for
ratification. If the last State necessary
te put the law In force ratifies It a
hundred years from now It will be just
as effective then as Immediately after
tho submission of the resolution. The
wide Import of the measure thus may
bo readily seen.
you remember what happened In
h recent New Jersey campaign after
William J. Bryan went into that State
for the purpose of helping a candidate
win his fight?
THE PRKSI DENT'S KIXOfIY
WHILE all of us may not agree
with President Wilson's no
doubt personal reference when
he "imagines it quite as hard
to do your duty when mpn are sneer
ing at you as when they are shooting
at you," the President hit one true
note of sound truth when, in eulogizing
the men who died at Vera Cruz, he
said:
All of these men were of our
blood and all of them were of our
stock. They were not Irish, not
Germans, not Hebrews. They were
not when they went to Vera Cruz.
They were Americans. They were
of our blood. They proved that they
were of our spirit.
When men become citizens of the
United States they become Americans.
They come here in large measure with
that thought in mind and because our
form of government more nearly ap
proaches their Ideals than does that
of any of the European States that
have contributed so extensively to our
cosmopolitan population. Nowhere else
on earth are there such opportunities
for individual betterment as in the
United States, where the llve-and-let-
Ilve principle Is the keystone of our
common life.
As some one has said, "our country
is the haven of the oppressed, the
school of the unlearned, the one big
chance to get ahead on our own
Initiative, and be something."
Even though our ancestors may have
crossed with the Mayflower, they were
all "foreigners" at one time or an
other. We hold no grudge against the
newcomer drawn hither by the same
impulse that prompted the early set
tlers to chance the perils of the wild
for the opportunity of bettering their
condition.
So we hold dear all those who die
beneath the folds of the flag, and we
know them not as Russian, Italian,
Irish or German, but as Americans in
the highest sense that the word
implies.
Farmers say the fruit yield will be
enormous. We presume the prices will
remain the same.
PROTECTING WIMWOOD PARK
M HARVEY TAYLOR, superin
tendent of parks, has issued
. a warning to pedestrians
against starting fires in Wild
wood Park. The superintendent would
bo justified in causing the arrest of
any person violating this order. There
can be no good reason for the starting
of fires in the park, and scattering
sparks or ashes blown into flame might
cause damage in a few minutes that
could not be repaired by a quarter of
a century of growth.
Harrisburgers should take sufficient
pride in Wildwood not only to protect
it from fires but from the vandal hand
of the flower gatherer as well. Wild
wood is the one piece of uncut forest
within miles of Harrisburg and it is
rich in the flora of this locality—a
larger variety of plants and flowers
growing there than can be found in
almost any area of like size in Central
Pennsylvania—and if properly cared
for the park should remain always a
treasure trove for nature lovers and
a garden of wild growth of which the
city In years to come will be intensely
proud.
Flowers bloom so abundantly there
that it may seem foolish not to permit
them to be carried away, but few
people realize that several varieties
which used to flourish there have be
come almost if not quite extinct be
cause of the careless manner in which
their blooms were "picked." The only
sure way of preserving plant life in
the park is to leave it strictly alone.
The Harrisburg Republican Club din
ner promises to be a real old-fashioned
Republican get-together affair.
TWINKLING
THE latest dance is the "Pitts
burgh Twinkle." Laying aside
all controversy as to whether or
not anything in the Smoky City
remains brilliant long enough to
twinkle, we are ready to express the
opinion that the "twinkle" will not be
come universally popular. It lias too
many limitations.
The new dance is devoid of hugs,
shrugs and shuffles and will be demon,
strated by its inventor, Professor
Thomas McDougall, secretary of the
American Association of Masters of
Dancing, at the annual convention of
that organization in Cleveland, Ohio,
June 8 to 20.
To dance the "twinkle" the couple
start in the position of the old waltz.
They waltz for eight measures of mu
sic, then they hesitate—there Is just
the faintest suggestion of the "hesi
tation" waltz. Then the man steps
forward on his right foot, then on his
left, back on his right and then the
twain "twinkle."
Carranza is complaining of counter
felt constltutionialist money being
smuggled in from the United States.
Isn't tills a case of the bad being us
good as the good?
AX EVENING THOUGHT"
Few persons have courage
enough to appear as goud as they
really are.—Hara, . |
EVENING CHAT
It's odd the way some streets get to
be more used during repairs to others
when if people figured it out they
could make shorter trips. Take the
work under way in Derry street, where
the Harrtsburg Railways Company has
been replacing its double track. This
operation has restricted travel to one
side of the street and as the company
has been forced to use one track the
available space has been more or less
congested. Consequently people going
over the Mulberry street bridge have
been turning down Thirteenth to
Berryhill and going out Berryhill to
Nineteenth and Derry. Some who
have been heading for the East End
from Market street have also gone
down Thirteenth to Berryhill when
they could continue out Market to
Eighteenth and then drop down, while
the ones turning off at Thirteenth
could go to Swatara and then cut in at
Seventeenth, saving a couple of blocks.
But Berryhill street is coming into its
own and is now a much traveled high
way. The extension of the double
tracking has caused Derry between
Nineteenth and Twenty-first to be
jammed up the last few days and
people have taken to going down
Nineteenth to Brookwood or to Green
wood and then going across to Twenty
first or Twenty-third streets. Owing
to the fact that neither of those streets
are paved, they are not popular for
rides, alhough as time savers, under
the circumstances, they are not to be
despised.
AVildwood Park could have hundreds
more visitors if tho trolley line was
only extended up Cameron street. The
way It is now people desiring to visit
the park either go up Cameron to
Muclay and then plod over a road that
has no reputation to sustain or else
leave cars at Sixth or Seventh and
Maclay and foot it over the bridge and
up the commons into the park. An
other way is to go to the upper end
and walk down, but that means a trol
ley ride to Binglestown lane. Tho ap
proach to the park from tho southern
side is not tho pleasant way that it
might be made. The garbage plant is
too near and some of the fields and
lands are not any too attractive. Par
ties of children have to go a distance
of many blocks in hot sun before they
get to tho shades of the park and com
ing out it is the same thing. A trolley
extension into the park would make
accessible one of the finest parks in
many miles around.
One week from to-dav the voters of
Pennsylvania will have their first real
primary, the first election at which
every candidate for a state-wide or
district nomination, exclusive of county
and municipal nominations, must go
before the people. The election will
include United States senators under
thep rimary law for the first time as
well as candidates for Governor, these
being the big offices affected by tho
legislation passed last year. The elec
tion will be an election before the gen
eral election on a scale never before
encountered in Pennsylvania and the
manner of working out will be
watched not only by people of the
state who are ready to argue that the
state-wide primary law is a panacea
or a failure, but by the residents of
other States. Pennsylvania has gone
ahead of most of the other eastern
States in its election laws and the
other States will await the outcome.
The manner in which the river sand
and coal fleets have been working the
last week or ten days shows that the
Susquehanna is still good for a good
many tons of both commodities after
the Spring floods and from all ac
counts there are some immense de
posits of sand to he found this year.
In half a dozen places sand deposits
greater than ever known before have
been struck and it has also happened
that in several spots rather well known
for sand there has been comparatively
little. This is all the more strange be
cause the coal has been found at about
the same places.
The way corn is being planted these
days is a caution and in spite of the
weather there has been some active
work done by farmers in this section
of Dauphin and in eastern Cumber
land. Ploughing has been late owing
to the cool and wet weather, but the
last ten days have noted much activity,
and farmers who intended to raise
corn have been getting it in as fast as
possible.
Some very funny straw hat combi
nations were seen last evening. One
man came into town on an open car,
wearing a straw hat and a raincoat.
Another man sported "an ice cream"
suit and a last year's straw hat.
Bright new hats were worn with win
ter suits t and several .automobile
parties came into the city with straw
hats instead of caps.
There was a battle at the courthouse
yesterday which did not have any
thing to do with the automobile li
cense suit. Half a dozen martens
swooped down on the pigeons which
live in the capitals of the pillars of
the portico and proceeded to look up
housekeeping apartments. The pig
eons were excited and a couple of
males were named as a committee
to investigate. The martens made h
dive in a body at the commi**- - and
chased them off. However there was
so much chattering that a courthouse
attache chased the whole feathered
party away.

William Jennings Bryan, Secretary
of State, has agreed to cast aside the
foreign affairs of the United States at
this critical period and come into
Pennsylvania to make speeches in re
sponse to desperate calls for aid from
the candidates on the machine ticket.
Tt was announced in Washington
last evening and later on at the Demo
cratic State windmill that Bryan was
coming Into this State to help out the
slate made by President Wilson and
two of the men on the slate. Bryan
will not speak here. Instead he will
go into counties where it is admitted
by the gangsters that Ryan has Mc-
Cormick beaten and an attempt will
be made to turn the tide. The flag
will be waved and appeals made to
stand by the President in his meddling
in the factional quarrels of the Penn
sylvairia Democracy.
| A Washington dispatch says: "Bryan
lis scheduled to speak at Wilkes-Barre
i Wednesday evening; Bloomsburg and
Berwick, Thursday evoning; Williams
port, Friday evening, and Mahanoy
City, Saturday. William B. Wilson,
Secretary of Labor, and W. C. Red-
Held, Secretary of Commerce, have ap
peared in the State within the last
few weeks in an effort to arouse
Democrats to support the Palmer-Mo-
Cormick ticket favored by the admin
istration. Secretary Bryan in his in
itial appearance in the primary cam
paign, which ends May 19, is expected
to appeal for the nomination of Pal
mer on the ground that Palmer draft
ed the metal schedule of the Under
wood tariff bill, which has closed
numberless mills and factories in
Pennsylvania and has thrown thou
sands of workingmon out of employ
ment. That the administration is
alarmed and wants to defeat Ryan for
the gubernatorial nomination has been
rumored for some days."
Senator Boies Penrose learned of
political conditions in the Congres
sional district of his Democratic op
ponent for the United
States Senatorship, A.
Penrose Mitchell Palmer yester-
Vlsits day. He stopped for two
Nazareth hours at Bethlehem and
then came to Nazareth, j
He talked politics with
some of his supporters in Bethlehem
and went over the political situation
with party workers from Easton, Ban
gor, Bath and other towns. They as
sured him that he would carry every
county in that congressional district
at the primaries and that he would
receive a larger vote throughout the
district in November.
Senator Penrose went to Nazareth
at the invitation of the trustees of
the Nazareth Hall Military Academy.
The fighting wings of the Democ
racy held forth in two widely sepa
rated counties yesterday, following up
trails of each other. Mc-
Cormick was in Lebanon
county where he found Warring
S. P. Light and A. X. Democrats
Hartman had worked up Are Busy
things for him and that
the drumming up of
crowds is not a lost art among reor
ganizes. Also he seems to have
found that the post office scandals and
administration tariff policies are not
popular and that Bryan stock is not
quoted high. The presence of C. S.
Prizer, candidate for congressional
nomination, did not help either. In
Westmoreland Ryan was greeted oy
many prominent men and Judge Cope
land issued a statement praising him.
The Ryan aggregation spoke to many
