WILSON'S WAR ON BUSINESS
THERE is to be no suspension of
the war on business now under
way at Washington. There may
be "watchful waiting" regarding
Mexico and the developments in that
distracted country, but nothing will be
permitted to interfere with the Wilson
crusa.de against business and the
sources of prosperity in the T'nited
States. One of the. most astute of the
■ - Washington newspapercorrespondents,
who Is in close touch with develop
ments at the national capital, says In
a careful review of tho attitude of the
administration toward business that
the wonder is sometimes expressed
whether some way cannot be de
vised of switching these matters
around so as to inject some pur
» pose and zeal into the foreign situa
tion and some care and considera
tion into the domestic war on busi
ness; but no practical suggestion
has as vet been advanced, for the
reason, "apparently, that war on
business at home is much safer and
is thought to have greater political
reward than in the fastnesses of
Mexico. At any rate, there Is to bo
no hesitation here. To prevent It a
caucus has been held within the last
week and an immediate advance on
business has been ordered.
Yet, in spite of this constant hostility
on the part of the administration
toward the business interests of the
country, the Palmer-McC'ormick group
in Pennsylvania have the effrontery to
appeal to Pennsylvania voters, thou
sands of whom are out of employ
ment through the free-trade heresies
of the Democracy, to support the
White House selections for United
States Senator and Governor in order
to sustain President Wilson. They
will be defeated because of the Presi
dent and because the voters of this
State are not going to be further flim
liammed by insincere and incompetent
political theorists. These have had
their little day and the people will
record their most vigorous protest at
the November election.
A GOOD I-ESSON
STEELTON has taught Harrisburg
many things in the past; doubt
less the bustling mill town at
our southern gate will teach us
many things in the future. Perhaps
one of the most wholesome examples
1t has set for us was the appointment
Thursday of a Steelton Shade Tree
Commission.
For seven years the Municipal
League and Civic Club of the borough
fought to get the commission. Har
risburg civic bodies, too, have urged
the appointment of a shade tree body
here. They are still urging its ap
pointment. But, unlike the Steelton
organizations, they are not Insisting
on getting what they want in such a
way that those In authority needs
must heed.
In selecting an expert. Burgess Wig
field was clear-visioned enough, big
enough and careful enough of the
town s Interests to choose a man out
side of borough political circles, a
man acknowledged throughout the
United States as a leading conserva
tionist, J. Horace McFarland, and one
peculiarly fitted for the work he has
generously agreed to undertake.
A BRITISH PARTY
THOSE supporters of President
Wilson who are still prating
about national honor and na
tional Integrity in connection
with the Panama canal tolls are bound
to be impressed with the growing re
sentment of the people over the weak
ness of the administration In this mat
ter. Some of our most experienced
statemen. Including ex-President Taft,
have declared that there Is no vio
lation of any treaty in the exemption
of tolls for the benefit of American
coastwise shipping. It must follow as
a logical sequence that the only excuse
left for the proposed repeal of the
exemption clause is an effort on the
part of the Wilson administration to
please Great Britain at the expense of
the United States.
United States Senator Galllnger of
Hampshire, in a speech against
the repeal, called upon Republicans
and Democrats to repudiate the' issue
that national honor could "be defend
ed only by yielding to the. demands of
Great Britain.'" He declared that Eng
land had been a land pirate through
all her history and if she succeeded in
ctnrlnff thts Point-now In controversy
THURSDAY EVENING, HAKRISBCRG TELEGRAPH ' MAY 21, 1014
she would add one more victory to her 1
long list of diplomatic triumphs.
As showing President Wilson's dis- I
position to change front on Important'
matters, he quoted the President's i
Washington Park speech, in which Mr.
Wilson indorsed the free tolls policy,
and also the two letters of 1907 and
1914 in which the President expressed
diametrically opposite views of those
of Secretary of State Bryan.
" 'Would that we could do some
thing at once dignified and effective to
knock Mr. Bryan once for all into a
cocked hat,' was the sentiment he
quoted in the Wilson letter of 1907.
In the letter of this year the President
eulogized 'Mr. Bryan's character, his
justice, his sincerity, his transparent
integrity and his Christian principle.'
"Other instances without num
ber." concluded Senator Gallinger,
"could be given, showing the fa
cility with which the President Is
able to suit his utterances to what
he considers the needs of the hour.
It would be quite within precedents
to find him in a short time advo
cating free tolls quite as loudly as
he now denounces them."
Colonel Roosevelt while still In Bra- •
zll, and which statement he confirmed
on his arrival at New York this week,
clared;
We are asked to surrender our
rights In the canal we built with
our money, so as, forsooth, some
other nation may play on our be
half the game we are too weak to
play ourselves.
I have no question that we have
a legal as well as an unquestion
able moral right to exempt genu
ine coast traffic from tolls.
Senator O'Oorman, of New York, in
denouncing the proposed repeal de
clared
This bill is misnamed. Tt should
be entitled "A bill to exalt British
commerce anil destroy American
shipping." or "A bill to expand the
glory of the British Empire and
humiliate the United States."
Gradually the pendulum is swinging
in the right direction. Men of ability
and courage and patriotism are tired
of the insistence of little men that the
President must be supported and that
it is a sign of disloyalty when any
body disagrees with him. President
Wilson has had more consideration
than has been shown any President of
recent years. He cannot hope to fur
ther escape criticism of his public acts
and the storm that has been gathering
over his head by reason of tho blun
ders of his administration at home and
abroad is bound to break with fury
before many days.
FARMERS AND EIRE
ANEW reason why farmers should
not permit fires to run througn
their brush lots or forests has
been found. A definite relation
between the amount of humus, or
vegetable matter in the soil, and Its
crop-producing power as shown by
yields of corn, is given in figures just
issued by the Department of Agricul
ture. The department therefore ad
vocates the use of various methods
to introduce the required humus into
the soil.
Experts of the forest service state
that the soils of the whole country, and
particularly of the South, have lost
and are losing immense amounts of
this source of soil fertility through
forest fires which apparently do little
immediate damage, but rob the soil of
accumulations of humus.
In many parts of the South land is
being cleared for farming, and where
such forest land has not been burned
there is a large percentage of vege
table matter, which provides consid
erable fertility and a good" texture.
Moreover this soil has a greater capa
city to absorb and retain moisture, and
thus is less likely to be washed and
gullied under heavy rains.
For these reasons, leaving out of ac
count the damage to standing timber,
the department's authorities are
agreed that fire should be rigidly kept
out of woodlands
PITT. CHAMBERLAIN, WILSON
LONDON dispatches are to the
effect that a very interesting i
comparison is going the rounds
just now of the striking facial
resemblance of three public men, Wil
liam Pitt, Joseph Chamberlain and
President Wilson.
Not only is this physical resem
blance remarkable, it is pointed out,
but each of the three began his career
as a Liberal. Many points of similar
ity might be found in their careers
and each stumbled along the same
path toward the maelstrom of war.
Here the English comparison ends.
But it might have gone a bit farther.
It might have pointed out that the
weakness of Pitt was his war with the
French republic, which cost millions
in treasure and thousands of lives. It
might have noted that Chamberlain
lost prestige and power because of the
mistaken policy that dragged England
into the Transvaal War, a war similar
in some respects to that which now
threatens with Mexico. It might have
called attention to the fact that these
wars brought public condemnation to
both Pitt and Chamberlain and were
beyond question largely Instrumental
in retiring them to private life.
And the question might be asked,
will the comparison continue in the
case of President Wilson, who even
now seems to be hesitating at the en
trance to the same road that led Pitt
and Chamberlain to retirement?
MINE ACCIDENTS.
THE official figures of the acci
dents in the anthracite mines of
Pennsylvania, In the last annual
report of the Department of
Mines, just published, show a marked
Improvement over those of the previ
ous year, but the report also carries a
warning, according td the belief of the
coal company officials. Of the 615 ac
cidents that occurred inside the mines
in 1911, 337 or 54 per cent, were at
tributed to the carelessness of the vic
tims themselves, 45 or 7.31 per cent, to
the carelessness of others, and 233 or
37.89 per cent, to unavoidable acci
dents. In 1912 there were 498 acci
dents, or 117 less than In the previous
year, but of these 322 or 64.66 per
cent, were attributed to the careless
ness of others, and 144 or 28.91 per
cent, to unavoidable accidents.
Thus It would seem that tho mine
workers are growing more careful of
others but also more careless of their
own safety. In this connection Chlet
James E. Roderick of the Department
of Mines says that, as the mines of
Pennsylvania are now equipped and
managed, the liability of accident Is
reduced to a minimum, except in the
matter of personal carelessness or neg
ligence. No equipment, however per
fect and complete it may be, can pre
vent accidents from these causes. This
fact is recognized by the operators,
and in all mines the necessity for
greater caution is constantly Im
pressed upon employes by printed rules
and oral Instructions.
If the accidents resulting from care
lessness and disobedience of rules
could be eliminated, says Mr. Rod- j
erlck, the fatalities in the mines would |
not be greater than In many vocations
in the cities. He says also that the
work of the coal miner becomes more j
dangerous as the operations grow more
extensive and attain to greater depth,
lhis would indicate that while the
natural hazard tends to increase the
number of accidents, care in mining
is actually reducing them.
I EVENING CHAT 1
State-wide primaries may be a suc
cess in determining the will of the
voters of a party who have fulfilled
the requirements preliminary to voting
at the election to make nominations,
but there Is a very serious lack of
means of furnishing the people with
information as to results. Provision is
made in the general election laws for
the immediate posting of results at the
polling places and this wise custom is
followed under the primary system,
but whereas the law requires the filing
of the certified returns of a general
election with the prothonotary as soon
as possible after the closing of the
count, the primary act stipulates that
the returns shall be filed with the
county commissioners, but the election
boards are given until the following
Thursday at noon to file the papers.
1" the credit of most of the election
officers it must be said that they use
effort to file their returns at the com
missioners' office, but there are some
who do not get out of breath rushing
to the courthouse. Information about
primary results has to depend on
newspapers, primarily, and the news
papers have to dig out the figures
under much more difficult clrcum- j
stances than prevail at a general elec
tion. Tho coming of an election now
adays means a big stir and thousands
of people interested and it is re
grettable that some better system for
providing official information cannot
be devised. And it might be added
that definite information about results
in the state at large is exceedingly
ii •!° obta ' n because it is not until
°m«al returns are filed at the office
oi the Secretary of the Commonwealth
from tho counties that any compu
tation can be obtained. This some
tunes requires three weeks. In fact,
the state committees were prevented
from meeting last fall because the re
tuinsi of a couple of counties were not
finished in time to certify the elec
tions. What is needed is some sta'e
system of election returns, something
u they . havc in Philadelphia and
i lttsburgh. whereby state figures can
be centralized and the agony ended
twenty-four to forty-eight hours earlier
than is now the case.

MHIIRECOW
Primary Campaign Has Developed
Some Changes in Ways of
Getting Results Here
BUSINESS EFFICIENCY PLANS
' j
" i
1 j McCormick Wanted the Votes and
His Organization Was One
of the Best Ever Here
1 The coterie of bosses which wrested
; control of the Democratic state ma
chine from the Old Guard three years
ago and has kept It in two Sharply,
contested state campaigns has intro- ]
iluced more real business methods into 1
the affairs of the State Democracy!
than known since the days of Harrity '
and in this city there have been some i
tine examples furnished of "business
efficiency." Some of the methods are
like those of old times, but they are
under new names and are speeded up
. in spirit with modern ideas.
In old, bygone days it was the cus
tom, so rumor says, for Democrats to
' have large war chests and to just "get
results." The business end was in the
hands of a few men in each precinct.
1 Now there is a business manager for
■ each precinct and any number of
, "watchers." A few days ago a man i
, who evinced any desire to be active
for the machine could be made a
"watcher" on application and men who
; did not evince much interest were gal
vanized Into smooth-running "watch
ers" In a short time.
Report has it that there were 1,500
certificates issued to Democratic
"watchers." Whether this is true or
[ not we are not prepared to say—just
now—but in view of the fact that the
whole Democratic vote on Governor
was less than 5,000 there must have
been more "watchers'' than '"waiters." 1
Another thing interesting about the
McCormick machine campaign is the
manner in which it has brought, a lot
of young Democrats to the
front. The little Itoss is
Business not as young as he used to
Efficiency be, but he managed to get
Borrowed the young Democrats with
him, probably due to the
fact that the aforetime
bosses clung to a lot of old stagers and
would not give the young fellows a
chance. McCormick's scheme is to
"josh" the young fellows by telling
them they are the coming men and to
give each one a task to perform. The
result Is that where the bosses of othet
: days had the same old fellows running
I around in circles McCormick had a
hard-driving bunch of young chaps
who went right after results in a
straight line, whereas lost motion was
the least of the troubles of the old
coterie.
In view of the as-gresslve attitude
being taken in Pennsylvania news
paper affairs by the Philadelphia
ledger and the strength
of its editorials, it is in
lx'dgcr Says teresting to note its
Brumbaugh opinions in regard to
Will Win the results of the pri
mary election. The
Dedger was kindly dis
posed toward Dr. Brumbaugh and
every time gave Vance C. McCormick
the advantage over Michael J. Ryan.
To-day it makes this signilicant re
. mark in an editorial on the primaries
and the results: "Dr. Brumbaugh is
; an admirable choice for the governor
ship. He has ideals, tine capacity,
youth, vigor, impeccable attributes.
; broad intellectuality and attractive
, personality. He will prove a successful
campaigner; he will receive the entire
Republican vote, and will draw heavily
from the Progressive and Democratic
ranks. He will doubtless be elected by
the traditional Republican majority."
Friends of William K. Meyers are
congratulating him on the fine vote he I
, received in his home city against the
determined opposition of
the McCormick "watch
ers" and the machine. Meyers Did
Mr. Meyers carried the Well in
, city, even the machine Home City
being unable to head off
the vote for him. The
. whole force of the McCormick ina
, chine was exerted to turn the city
[ away from Meyers, but he got a line
vote. The Meyers vote in the county
. was 2,190, while Robert S. Bright,
I who was carried along by the machine
r as one of its high cards and as well
! "watched" for as McCormick, got
, 2,425.

f AN INDIAN PIPE DREAM
1 [From the New York Sun.]
Our neighbor the World emits these
> beautiful and instructive sentiments: |
"Permanent peace In Mexico is not to
3 be secured by parleys. It must be fortt
> fled by deeds. It is to be guaranteed by
f the liberation of the people, by their
possession of the land, by enlightened
government and by the unselfish assist
-1 ance of the people of the United

1 A large order and a long contract.
One of the most difficult campaigns of
t education. Divide the great estates
i and public lands into small holdings.
Wipe out the debts that keep the peons
ascrlpt to the glebe. Good. But who
r is to liberate them from the habits
s of generations, to insure them posses
sion, to free them from pulque and the
natural as well as the Indian desire
not to do any more work than they
have to, to substitute prudence for age
long improvidence, to repress gamb
ling? Who Is to give them, If they are
to have a hand in the government, a
, government more enlightened than its
' illiteratlc source?
And what is "the unselfish assist-
ance," destined to what warm welcome
- from its beneficiaries can be imagined,
- "of the people of the United States" to
r be? Is it permanent occupation? Is
. it a protectorate? Who guarantees
this "guaranteed" liberty and land po
session? There will be some sort of
joint resolution by Congress, we sup
pose; and the character, the tempera
- ment will be made over thereby.
s Otherwise some hundreds of years
j might be needed for the task; and the

or means for neighborhood settlement
work.

BASEBALL DAYS
By Wing Dinger
There's no use talking, baseball is
A game that gets 'em all,
Though some go simply "nuts" about
The sport from Spring to Fall.
Now there's the office boy, for inst.
Who's always on his toes.
Percentages for every man
On every team he knows.
And when you ask him some question
Involving figures, bet
On this, some batting average
Is the reply you'll get.
If someone calls while you arc out,
Just take this tip from ine ,
When you get back the office boy's
Report will no doubt be:
"A man was here while you were out."
And when he gives the name
It won't be that of him who called,
But someone In the game.

YEARS AGO TO-DAY
[From the Telegraph, May 21, 1864 1
Many at "Dutch Fair"
The "Dutch Fair" was attended by a
great crowd this morning. There was
a full supply of all seasonable produce
which commanded high rates at the
opening of market, but by 6 o'clock
prices had dwindled considerably
Butter, for which 45 to 50 cents was
asked at 4 o'clock, was sold at 25 cents
an hour later.
Sprinkler Out
The warm weather of the past two
or three days has dried up the mud
on the streets and the sprinkler was
around yesterday.

How You Can
Earn 10 % to 15 %
Buy your next winter's supply of coal this
month at a reduction of 50c per ton.
It will pay you from 10 per cent, to 15 per
i cent, and in addition you will have a better
quality of coal.
Coal shipped in winter months is not
usually prepared as good as at the present
time —it is frozen together and the slate, etc.,
cannot he taken out.
Let us send our coal expert to talk this
matter over with you.
