TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 10
PARTY ENTHUSIASM.
IT was an enthusiastic and aggressive
body of Republicans which cele
brated the twelfth anniversary of
the llarrisburg Republican Club
last night. There was a distinct atmos
phere of battle In the speech-making
and throughout the evening there was
manifest a disposition to forget all dif
ferences of the past and to unite for
an old-time victory next November.
Perhaps nothing was more conspicu
ous in the talks of the evening than
the aroused party sentiment and the
confidence of the club members and
their guests in the outcome of the cam
paign which begins with the close of
the primary to-day. Two years ago
such a reunion occasion would hardly
have been possible, but the isues which
Interfered with harmonious action In
the 1912 campaign no longer rise to
plague the Republicans of Harrlsburg
and Dauphin county.
There are still a few men who per
sist In maintaining a third party or
ganization, but even this number is
growing smaller every day. By-gones
are to be by-gones and throughout the
campaign there Is going to be a thor
ough cementing of all the groups into
one strong and aggressive party move
ment for the election of the entire Re
publican ticket.
There came to our desk to-day the
May 12th issue of our esteemed con
temporary, the Congressional Record,
containing 367 pages, and the whole
Issue devoted to a speech of United
States Senator LaFollette. This issue I
is said to have cost the government
812,600 —about $35 a page—and is an
other Illustration of the fact that re
form comes high.
CONFIDENCE IS NEEDED
BUSINESS men and thoughtful
citizens generally are of one mind
on the general proposition that
no restoration of prosperity can
be brought about until there shall first
have been a return of confidence. With
everything in shape for a splendid
advance all along the line things con
tinue at a standstill and the conclu
sion of those who are able to diagnose
the situation is that there is too much
legislation and too little confidence in
our national leaders.
Eusiness conditions have been
growing steadily worse under the as
saults of the administration at Wash
ington and to-day business and in
dustrial leaders throughout the coun
try are waiting the results of the
primary elections to learn whether
there Is to be a continuance of these
assaults or a suspension of the attacks.
We must go either forward or back
ward. There is no such thing as
standing still. While the crop outlook
Is bright an 4 hopeful, even the bounty
of nature cannot entirely overcome the
foolishness of man when he Is deter
mined to upset what is provided for
his bappiress and welfare.
As has been suggested over and over
again, there are too many demagogues
and cheap politicians for tlio good o.f
the country. These little men seem
determined to foist themselves Into
places of power where they .can do
further damage by thcuretieal legisla
tion and experimental clap-trap.
While Germany and other great na
tions are encouraging their industrial
leaders to still further achievement,
the government at Washington Is do
ing everything within its power to
hamstring and hamper the progress of
the interests which have made this a
great and prosperous country.
With factories in all parts of the
country on short time, with tens of
thousands of people idle, with the
railroads between the devil and the
deep sea, with commercial and Indus
trial skies clouded, says a trade bulle
tin, It is a comforting thing to look
about you and see millions of acres
springing with grain and wheat and
other soil products which will mean
hundreds of millions of new wealth.
But all this Is likely to be discounted
by the demagogues in power unless
the people to-day shall Indicate very
plainly that the change which they
thought they wanted two yearn ago is
TUESDAY EVENING,
not the sort of change they want now.
The following paragraph from a re
cent circular on business conditions is
a bit of truth which cannot be gain
sayed:
Just as a doctor can kill a pa
tient not with too little medicine
but with too much. Just so a host
of demagogues and politicians
seem bent on throttling, were it
possible, the growth of the coun
try by a thousand and one forms
of useless and Inane and harassing
legislation. Our railroads are
driven from pillar to post not only
by national legislators but by four
dollar a day State legislators, our
great industries are threatened at
every turn with State and inter-
State Interference, our great public
utilities have to reckon with State
commissions on every hand and
those who know the least about
business are constantly at work
trying to put laws on the statute
books for the so-called control and
correction of business. When a
man falls in other things he often
turns to politics, and the world's
history has shown that no one can
clamor louder In the market place
than those who, having failed of
great accomplishment themselves,
would tell others of the way to
greatness.
What we need in this country,
what we need more than anything
else, Is confidence on the part of
the great mass of people In those
who have shown their ability to
carry us on to prosperity.
Huerta agree* to quit. The treasury
must be empty.
VISITING OCR NEIGHBORS.
TO-MORROW morning a large
delegation representing the Har
rlsburg Chamber of Commerce
will start on a tour of the neigh
boring towns and cities with a view to
binding in a closer bond the interests
of Central Pennsylvania and the Capi
tal City. Preparations have been made
for an Interesting jaunt which will
cover York, Lancaster and Interven
ing towns to-morrow and Lebanon and
several other neighboring towns on
Thursday.
The object of this trip is to advertise
llarrisburg in a distinctive and
friendly way to nearby towns and
cities and hear from them what they
are doing and how they are doing it
and to broaden our trade relations
with these places by making personal
acquaintance of customers and friends
in their own places of business.
Harris burg is the center of a large
commercial and industrial territory
and the fact that it has become the
distributing point of so many import
ant industries leads the Chamber of
Commerce to believe that this city can
lie even more useful to the district of
which it is the metropolis.
This is constructive work 011 the
part of the main business organization
and there is no doubt that the tour of
t ho next two days will result in a more
friendly relation between Harrlsburg
and the several cities and towns In
cluded in this first swing around the
circle.
The only odd thing about the Odd
Fellows Is that they are far from home
on election day.
BRUMBAUGH IN PORTO RICO
DR. MARTIN G. BRUMBAUGH
will emerge from the primary
scrimmage to-day with public
confidence in his unusual quali
fications for the gubernatorial office
and a strong undercurrent among men
of all parties favorable to his election
next November. "Among all the can
didates mentioned none could or
would serve the State more effectively
or more conscientiously," says the
Rev. Dr. Russell H. Conwell In a letter
a day or two ago to the Philadelphia
Public Ledger.
So well fitted In every way Is Dr.
Brumbaugh for the office of governor
that his nomination is regarded as a
mere preliminary to his election and
inauguration as Governor Tener's suc
cessor. Owing to the fact that he has
had little or no opposition in the pri
mary, Dr. Brumbaugh's name has not
appeared as frequently as It will dur
ing the main contest, but enough has
been said by those who know him
best to convince the people that his
choice will be satisfactory In every
way.
Perhaps the most conspicuous con
structive work in his great career as
an educator was the organization of
the school system of Porto Rico at
the close of the Spanish-American
war. Commissioner Lindsay, who suc
ceeded Dr. Brumbaugh on the island,
in a report telling of the difficulties
encountered, says:
At the outset I desire to express
my high appreciation of the mag
nificent work already accomplished
by my predecessor, Dr. Martin G.
Brumbaugh, of the University of
Pennsylvania. It was an enormous
task to create out of the chaos in
matters of public Instruction
which the Spanish Government left
and out of the small beginnings in
the direction of a public school
system made by the military au
thorities of the United States dur
ing the period of military control,
a splendid school system for a
'population of a million people,
operating under a comprehensive
and practical educational law pre
pared by the Commissioner and
enacted by the insular Legislature.
The creation of an enthusiasm for
education on the part of the people,
which is almost without parallel,
the erection of a large number of
school buildingß, the selection of
modern school apparatus and
school supplies, the enrolment at
the beginning of the last School
year of 32,302 children In 780
schools, and last, but not least, the
organization of a department of
government with an able and ef
ficient office force.'
It is a work which reflects upon
Dr. Brumbaugh and upon thoso
who were associated with hltn in
the insular government llie great
est credit and deserves the thanks
of the American people. It has
placed his name, high on the roll
of public benefactors in Porto Blco.
and It is a public servico whlcli
the future historian of the United
States will not fail to record.
Dr. Brumbaugh's life story is one
of constant achievement through great
ability, industry and the working out
of high ideals for the benefit of the
people. Pennsylvania will take no
backward step with such a man at the
head of her affairs, and the fact that
he comes from that body of sturdy
people In the Juniata Valley and un
derstands the methods of thought and
the aspirations of our mixed popula
tion, gives the eminent educator and
executive unusual equipment for the
gubernatorial office.
Thousands of people already know
him and th&ussnds more all over the
State will better understand and np
pieciate the wisdom of his noniina.
tion before they make him governor
next November.
I EVENING CHAT I
Although Captain George C. Jack,
commander of the Governor's Troop,
and several of his officers are at Fort
Myer, Va., for Instruction by the regu
lar army officers, the cavalry organ
ization Is nevertheless ready to take
the field at a moment's notice and In
anticipation of any call for service the
troop has been recruited up to sixty
men. Captain Jack and Lieutenants
E. A. Nlcodemus and G. W. H. Rob
erts and Sergeants Charles A. Kline
and Herbert P. Hepford left on Sun
day for Fort Myer and will remain
there throughout this week under
going the thorough course of instruc
tion prepared by the regular army
officers. Captain Jack went to Fort
Riley and several other forts for In
struction and spent some time along
the Texas border making observations
two years ago. In the latter work he
covered some of the ground which the
national guardsmen may be called
upon to visit In case they are called
Into service. In addition to recruiting
the troop to the minimum Captain
Jock has prepared an enrollment for
men who desire to enlist in the event
of a call to active service so that it
can be brought up to the required
figures in a short time from men right
in this vicinity. The troop rooms have
been kept open every night for in
struction of men and all preparations
have been made to keep baggage down
to the lowest point, the noncommis
sioned officers being instructed in what
to take. It is expected that the troop
will parade on Memorial Day in the
new olive drab woolen service uni
forms and with the new "forty-five"
automatic pistols, and if arrangements
can be made a mounted drill may be
held at Sixteenth and llerr streets.
The troop will be inspected on June 1
and will participate in the flag trans
fer exercises at the Capitol on llag
day. Its guidon of the Spanish War
will be among the flags to be placed
In the rotunda.
Speaking of military matters, it is
interesting- to note that the latest War
Department regulations printed by the
adjutant general's department for In
formation of guardsmen shows that
Infantry companies are to be 150 when
tilled up to war strength. Including
all of the officers and men, a full
twelve-company regiment would be
over 1,900 men. In old days a regi
ment was supposed to be 1.000 men,
but times have changed, and if the
Harrisburg guardsmen go into the field
they will find the present companies
will be more than doubled. Cavalry
troops would be composed of 100 men.
The work of preparing for the flag
transfer exercises on June 15 is not
an easy task and the members of the
executive committee are having their
own troubles to pick the men to bear
the flags. Some of the regiments rep
resented by flags at the Capitol have
no organizations and the selection ot
men to carry has devolved on surviv
ing senior officers. In other instances
It has been hard to find men connected
with some organizations and dozens of
letters have been sent to Grand Army
posts to locate survivors of regiments.
In other instances men have arrogated l
to themselves the selection of men to
carry the flags, causing heart burn
ings.
Events in Mexico have attracted
some attention to the Mexican monu
ment on Capitol Hill which was built
to commemorate the sacrifices of
Pennsylvanians in the war of 1847.
The names on the monument are those
of the battles and the person who
reads can tell the history of the war
at a glance. The monument attracts
a good many students as they pass
through the park.
Captain Garland, of the Tech team,
which did such line work at the Island
on Saturday, was a proud youth after
the scores were announced, but there
was one still prouder. That was his
mother. AVhen he came in from the
two-mile run with a great lead the
lad went to where his mother was sit
ting and was given a good big kiss.
The crowd cheered.
People coming to the city to-day
from the rural districts remarked that
owing to the lateness of the season
in farming whole families were work
ing in the fields and in some instances
the planting work looked like the out
pouring of a clan. In parts of rural
Dauphin county farmers were weeks
behind with their work and every
available hand was put to work, tramps
who stopped at farm houses being
given the best of fare if they worked
a couple of hours.
The original man who does not pay
attention to what is going on was ob
served in Market street this morning.
He wanted to transact some business
at the courthouse and found it closed
up and an election board in possession
of the rotunda.
"What's going on? An election?"
he asked.
Three men looked at him in amaze
ment, thinking he was just."kidding."
But he looked serious and one man re
plied with nine shades of disgust in his
tone: "No, we are computing the pop
ulation."

HOME! AGAIN I
]From the New York Run[
Colonel Roosevelt Is almost home.
He flees so fur as he can the loud and
long welcome that New York would
give him if ho didn't Insist on being
intercepted in transit and shipped to
Oyster Bay.
The honors that have streamed upon
him in Soutl) America are no mere of
ficial ceremony and no pompous super
fluous addition to liis multifarious dis
tinctions. He has deserved the fresh
laurels by his keen interest in South
American progress, and his perception
of the relation of the growth of strong,
self-sufficing South American States to
the Monroe Doctrine: of the new guar
antee thus afforded against foreign
territorial aggression on this continent
and the helpful potencies of the friend
ly offices of such States for peace in
the Latin American countries. What
ever the fate of the present mediation
of Argentina, Brazil and Chile, it Is a
cheering omen for the future. Mr.
Roosevelt returns at the very moment
when publlo and international atten
tion is fixed upon the beginnings of
what may be a fruitful and far reach
ing plan.
In homo politics the return of the
Colonel is the beginning of Joy and
trouble. Various Progressive and other
clairvoyants are reading his mind and
proclaiming the result. The Colonel
wants, the Colonel never would take,
the Republican nomination for Presi
dent in 1916.
The Colonel's mind Is never fully
known to his friends. He Is subtler
than the old serpent. But the Repub
licans and everybody else will be pru
dent If thev watch their nominations
carefully. Even then, the Colonel, an
unwearlml rollector, may snap up a
few to keep them from wrong' hands.
HARRISBUKG TELEGRAPH
FROM FRYING PM
.10 GREAT FIRE
Pennsylvania Democracy Ends Its
Primary Campaign Only to
Find Worse Split
NOW FUSSING OVER TOLLS
Roland Morris Credited With Re-|
markable Statement About
the Baltimore Platform
The Pennsylvania Democracy
bounds gracefully to-day from the
frying pan Into the Are. To-day it set
tles the dispute of months over who
shall be boss of the State machine
and no matter who Is nominated for
governor the followers of the other
faction will refuse to support him in
November. The frying of the last ten
weeks will be a-blazlng on and after
to-morrow.
And right on top of this unpleasant
family situation the Democrats of
the nation aro getting into a snarl. It is
about the canal tolls situation and af
ter to-day it will not be whether this
or that Democrat is going to support
the administration, but whether he
thinks the administration has given
In to the railroads. They swallowed
the Baltimore platform without look
ing at it, believing that because old
Dr. Bryan fixed it up that it most be
all right and now there are signs of
cleavage into two factions —one believ
ing that the President Is right in re
pudiating the plank of the platform
on which he stands and the other de
claring that he is hauling down the
flag.
Incidentally, it is of interest to many
Harrisburgers, in whose midst Bryan
made that speech to the Legislature in
which he said that pledge breakers
should be aligned with traitors, etc.,
to note that there are some Democrats
who think that Wilson has a right to
run again if he wants to and that he
is big enough to rip off from the Bal
timore platform even a plank written
by Bryan himself.
The Pennsylvania Democracy could
always be depended upon to furnish
prize shows and there is assurance of
an endless variety.
One of the Pittsburgh papers quotes
Chairman Roland S. Morris as mak
ing this astounding statement: "I am
unqualifiedly in favor
of the Preside nt's
Morris Says policy and feel that
Plank Was the platform declara-
Bijr Mistake tion was adopted with
out adequate knowl
edge of the facts of the
case." A poll has been made of men
who sat in the Baltimore convention
by some people at Washington and
many of the delegates have declared
that the plank should not have been
in the platform. Then there are some
who insist that it should stay and that
there should be no surrender to rail
roads or anyone else.
In view of the noisy campaign of
the Democrats for the party honors
this year the following dispatch from
Washington to the
Philadelphia Kecord is
of interest to Pennsyl- Just How
vanians: "President Bryan Canx'
Wilson did not author- Into State
ize Secretary of Stato
Bryan's visit to Penn
sylvania in the interest of the Palmer-
KicCorniick candidacy, and the speech
which Mr. Bryan made at Wilkes-
Barre Wednesday, committing the na
tional Administration to Palmer and
McCormick was not sanctioned by the
President. It was learned to-day from
the highest authority that Mr. Bryan
made his campaign into Pennsylvania
with Representative A. Mitchell Pal
mer on his own responsibility, and
that his utterances to the effect that
the Democrats of the Keystone State
should support Palmer and McCor
mick, out of loyalty to the Wilson Ad
ministration, were made without hav
ing obtained in advance the approval
of President Wilson."
I POLITICAL SIDELIGHTS
—The Democacy is no sooner out
of one row than it gets into another.
—Mr. Bryan and his followers in
the Pennsylvania Democratic machine
probably wish that the tolls plank was
at the bottom of the Panama canal.
—lf it was all right for Bryan to
butt into Pennsylvania factional poll
tics where is it wrong for the Hearst
papers to take a hand?
—The Pa-Ma leaguers had a fine
time last night. About thirty of them
gathered and shook hands.
—Anyway, Jt would seem that Eu
gene C. Bonniwell had a good time
during the campaign.
—lncidentally, it might be added
that Bonniwell was not the only one
to be "unmasked" during the primary
campaign.
—Palmer last night claimed McCor
mick's election by 50,000. Ryan said
when Palmer lirst made that claim
that it would rank as one of the
"curiosities of political literature".
—Judge Kunkel's neighbors were
rallying to-day to show that booming
of Endlich by the Patriot was not to
their liking.
—There appear to be some differ
ences of opinion at Washington about
the Bryan invasion of Pennsylvania.
TAFT ON A MEXICAN WAR
Guerrilla warfare is a thing easy to
keep up and mighty hard to suppress.
If we have to face a solemn duty and
go In to clean UP Mexico, why we
must count on putting 400,000 men into
the field and keeping up a cost of war
fare at the rate of $1,000,000 per" day
for at least three year*.—W. 11. Taft.
•ICST CRITICISM
[Philadelphia Public Liedger.]
"J fancy that it is just as hard to
do your duty when men are sneering
at you ns when they are shooting at
you," says the President, who has be
gun to feel the criticism directed
against the whole Mexican adventure
It Is a criticism, nevertheless, that is
Just. Few Americans can applaud the
means used primarily to force Mexico
to be self-governing. Few approve
the start Villa was given or the
methods whereby we prevented Huerta
from ever establishing good order or
crushing out the rebellion. The ad
ministration made the bed, but the
whole people are patriotically ready to
lie in it. There Is nothing else for
them to do. Critclsm, It must bo said,
has been restrained. Not half has
been said that will be said. There Is
an awful responsibility resting on the
President, and the country is disposed
to back him up generously and fully.
The main thing just now is to avoid
any further blundering.

"THOSE AWFUI, PLACARDS"
By Wing Dinger
It seems to me that I have read
Long since In days gone by
In some newspaper 'bout the way
Placards offend the eye.
If memory serves me right it was
i A shame to mar the trees
That grace Cap. Park with pictures of
i The "Gang"—and then this wheeze:
, "Our Civic pride should urge us to
Prevent the sad disgrace
Of having fences, poles and such
Placarded with some face."
But things are different now, I guess,
Since "I" am in the race—
"l'm" Woodrow's candidate, you know,
And, therefore, "I" can place
"My" cards on Front street, if "1"
choose.
And who shall say "me" nay?
i "I've" even got my cards tacked 'round
The Post Office grounds to-day.
I do not know, but I surmise
This Is the argument—

going is a habit. It is a good habit;
good because the fruits are good. Any
one can acquire it. Every one ought
to. "Sow an act and reap a habit; sow

Short Jaunts For Little Money
in Glacier National Park
I want to send you a folder, of
which the above is the title. 1 want
every family in the country to realize
that it is possible, without groat ex
pense, to go to the American Alps anil
spend a few delightful weeks there,
trout fishing and taking little trips on
foot, or in automobiles or on horse
back or by boat, which cost only from
$1 to $5 per day.
When people fully understand what
this country offers them in the Glacier
National Park of Montana, many mora
hotels and picturesque chalets will
have to be built there to accommodate
visitors. I tell you the. combination
of high mountains, great chasms, mys
terious glaciers, those moving rivers
of solid ice, and with all, the health
giving climate, the wonderful invig
orating air, is a gracious gift that is
being offered by nature to all thoso
who will take the trouble to inquire
and find out If a trip to tho Glacier
National Park is a possible thing r
them.
Let me give you complete
mation. Let me send you a copy of
the. "Short Jaunts" folder, a map of
the park and some other interesting
illustrated booklets, and also tell you
about the luxurious "Oriental Lim
ited" —the only train that runsthrough
from Chicago to Glacier National
Park.
