FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 22 CHAMBER OF COMMERCE TRIP IT is a pleasure to note the success that attended the Chamber of Com merce trade extension trip to York, Lancaster, Lebanon .and interme diate towns. This little journey of some seventy of Harrisburg's live-wire business and professional men was much broader in its scope than its title might indicate. Not a man of the party that was not the better for having gone. Not a citi zen of any of the other towns who turned out to meet the travelers that was not the better for the association. Looking at the thing from a purely business standpoint, the money for the trip was well spent. The Chamber of Commerce could not have purchased Rt any price the advertising given to Harrisburg In the newspapers of the cities visited. And tne towns that did the entertaining profited to an almost equal degree. A city needs advertising quite as much as a private business. A few more such trips as that of yesterday will do wonders in fostering the neighborly feeling expressed in York Haven, York, Wrightsville, Columbia, Lancaster, Manheim, Lebanon and Hershey during the trip that came to such a pleasant conclusion last even ing, and in spreading broadcast the merits of the towns participating. President Tripp and the representa tives of the Chamber of Commerce made it clear in all the speech-making of the tour that the only purpose and wish of the Harrisburg business men was the enlargement of the good feel ing which has existed for years be tween the several communities cov ered in this first swing around the circle. So successful was the tour in establishing better relations that there Is now talk of a further enlargement of the Harrisburg influence In other directions. It was exceedingly gratify ing to all the Harrisburg visitors to learn from the mouths of the speakers from other towns and cities how much of Inspiration they have received from this city in the way of municipal bet terment and progress. It would have been well for all the citizens of Harris burg if they had heard the compli ments bestowed upon this city and the admiration of our neighbors for the way in which the capital city had eet the pace for the other municipali ties. It was a flying squadron of active Spirits of this community, their eyes were the eyes of the entire citizenship In observing what is good elsewhere that we may as a community reap the benefit. So well pleased were all on this tour with the results that it Is now proposed to have one or more business tours of our own city by our own peo ple. It is believed by many members of the Chamber of Commerce that the citizens of Harrisburg do not realize ns they should the splendid progress which has been made here at home during the last decade and that a tour of Harrisburg of 1914 would be illumi nating and beneficial. MRS. FLY'S NURSERY DR. RAUMCK, Harrisburg's ener getic health officer, is going after the flies just as vigorously as he went after their breeding places during the anti-dirt campaign of clean up week. Dr. Raunick well knows that "swatting" adult flies will only help. He knows, also, that there is but one way of preventing the breeding of myriads of these little germ-bearing demons. That is the removal of the places in which they deposit their eggs —but "swatting" is helpful. There fore "swat," advises Dr. Raunick and thereby prevent individual families of flies from multiplying to about the nth power in the next three months. It is strange indeed, that, knowing the fly as we do, we are so callous to its presence. We know that flies al lowed to feed on milk or sugar-water In which germs are placed will be found to deposit those microbes ten times in every hour, besides placing them in everything upon which they alight. A fly, after a good meal, may often be seen blowing fluid bubbles from its trunk and sucking them in ngain. These bubbles, as well as their feet, contain all of the filth as well as th* bacteria they have previously visited. Many instances have been per 1 ' ' * x -y*> . '- 1 • IV FRIDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH " MAY 22, 1914. \ manently proved in which the bacteria of tuberculosis, typhoid, dysentery, plague, anthrax and cholera have been found in the dejecta, in the saliva and on the feet of the common housefly. It has been proved very conclusively that epldemios of typhoid, dysentery and those other peßts in military en campments have been due to flies. Yet many people say, "merely a harmless insect." This being true, it may be seen readily enough that every fly is the harbinger of disease and possible death. Flies will crowd each other for food and for breeding places. Tho garbage cans, open gutters, decaying fruits and vegetables, exposed market edibles, the mosses, ferns and decaying leaves upon the eaves of your roofs, all of these, as well as green groceries, butcher shops, thatched shingles, and all exposed liquids and foods will be quickly seized upon by the plague of flies that will have already been born before April was warned. So let us "swat" as often and as vigorously as we may, but let us also look for Mrs. Fly's nursery and de stroy that. HOW FREAK LAWS WORK THE futility of much of the freak legislation of which the Demo crats in late years, and the Pro ocot'-f. narty since its birth, have been ardent advocates is well ... itne manner in which the "recall" Is being used in the State of Washington. The Pittsburgh Gazette- Times notes that a Washington court has recently held that a secret con tract, whereby the defendant in the case before It employed the plaintiff to carry out a movement for the recall of certain officials, was void as con trary to public policy. The court de clares that such a private compact, "looking to the advancement of per sonal ends by the financing of a recall is Just as inimical to a sound public policy as would be the same course of conduct when applied to an election it self, or as would be a contract to in fluence legislation by a secretly paid lobby." All very well! But is this decision going to stop the secret contracting? We think not. Conspiracy is one of the most difficult offenses to prove and the professional circulator of petitions for the recall of this or that official will continue, beyond doifbt. Here is a fine opportunity for some enterpris ing politician in Washington to "make a little on the side" or "get even" with a successful rival in office. And if it is possible to buy signatures to a recall petition, isn't It apparent that the initiative and the referendum may be as readily mantpv'ated and abused? "SAFETY FIRST" RULES THE American Museum of Safety Is promulgating a set of "Safety First" rules that ought to be posted in every shop in the land. They have been framed after very careful study by practical factory and mill men and are the result of fre quent applications for some such code. The rules are easily understood and are workable without adding burdens of expense or complexity to the estab lishment adopting them. For the benefit of manufacturing concerns throughout Central Pennsylvania the Telegraph herewith, at the request of the Museum of Safety, publishes the proposed regulations: Form a committee of safety com posed of one or two men from every department, its chief duty being to eliminate all hazardous conditions, such as defects in machinery and buildings, dangerous methods of work ing or handling material, and to con duct frequent and Impartial Inspec tions. The committee should furnish the officials with reports and recommen dations regarding their findings and the officials should act promptly and back up the efforts of the committee in a broad minded and liberal manner; human lives depend on it Lectures should be held at least once a month and the workmen en couraged in caution, cleanliness, sani tation, proper use and care of tools and their responsibility to their fel low workmen; "speeding-up" should be discouraged. Keep the plant clean. Do not al low the floor, work benches, closets and shelves to be littered with tools, stock or other material. Do not throw oily material, waste paper, food scraps or refuse of any kind under things or in out-of-the-way places; allow no n atches to He around loose. All dangerous machinery, such as cutters, lathes, punches, cog wheels, belts and moving parts should be guarded so that accidents are impos sible except through gross careless ness; a visit to the museum will show that it can be done without lessening the output. The committee of safety should see that all rules, signs, regulations and Instructions relating to safety, health and sanitation are strictly adhered to; continued disobedience should mean dismissal. The workmen themselves should be encouraged in every possible way to ! co-operate in the safety work and get | the safety spirit. Safety boxes, with | pencil and paper attached, placed throughout the various departments and yards, will tend to influence every workman to be a safety inspector. If these rules were carried out to the letter shop managers would have little dread of the workings of even the most drastic of workmen's com pensation laws. TEACHERS' TRAINING CLASS TO-NIGHT there will be grad uated another class of the Har risburg teachers' training school, from the members of which will be recruited the teachers necessary to fill vacancies during the coming year. The teachers' training school is doing a double work in Harrisburg. In the first place it guarantees a con tinuous force of available teachers of known education and ability. In the second place It gives young women all the advantages of a normal school course, and much more, at practically no cost to themselves and recruits to the ranks of the teaching profession many ambitious girls who otherwise would not have the means of pursuing the studies necessary to the obtaining of a teacher's certificate. 1 EVENING CHAT I Few people are aware of the fact that as far us laud urea goes the city of Harrisburg is not nearly as large as,some of the smaller cities, in point of population, and oven some of the 1 boroughs. The city's total acreage within its Incorporated limits amounts to 5,504.41, of which 3,448.50 is land and_ the test Susquehanna river. The city's line goes to the west shore of tho Susquehanna and comes near to touch ing three counties. Allentown is a larger city in area than Harrisburg by over 300 acres and the borough of Carlisle is almost half as large as Har risburg in area. Chambersburg has 11,015 acres and Dußois and Dickson City, in which many Harrisburgers have never been, are more than half the area of the State Capital, while Dunmore borough, the halfslster of Seranton, has an acreage of 5,269, or more than Harrisburg, land and water. Krie's area is 4,739 acres und Franklin and Hazleton are both about 300 acres larger than we are. We are larger than Altoona, Johnstown, Lan caster, Lebanon and McKeesport and a little bit larger than Wilkes-Barre, New Castle has us beaten, showing* 5,815 acres. Williamsport goes to 4,455 and the borough of Lurksville, in Luzerne county, 3,092. Pottstown is almost as large as we are. And as for the borough of Taylor, which be longs to the principality of Lacka wanna, it is not so much smaller than the State Capital. Steelton has an area of 1.090 acres, or a little smaller than Coatesviile, Connellsville, Donora, Sun bury, Northampton and Winber and being closo to Pittston and Shenandoah in area. Late travelers on the Derry street trolley lines have a new form of enter tainment on their trips owing to the operations in relaying the rails on that thoroughfare. Owing to the immi nence of the paving the company is pushing the work and concreting goes on until as late in the night as the people will stand for the noise. The concreting force has a machine that is lighted up like a battleship and then there is a rock crusher or ballast maker that eats up cobble stones and which is also rigged out with wreaths of lights. Both machines furnish much of Interest. Then when the noise zone is passed the traveler goes about a quarter of a mile between a lane of red lights, one stationed every twenty live or thirty feet. These mark the excavations for the new rails. The riverside up above Alaclay street is rapidly offering sidewalks to the hundreds ot" people who stroll along that thoroughfare and within a short time people will no longer have to walk in the street with automobiles buzzing by every few minutes. Some of the sidewalk operations are exten sive and have attracted much atten tion. Before long the street will be provided with sidewalks from end to end. South Harrisburg people are not bothered by the smoke nuisance and to hear some of them talk they are rather yearning for the smoky days to come back. Only sonic portions of the Central iron and steel works are in operation and the real smoke makers among the tall stacks are not doing much. The Chesapeake nail works and Paxton and Lochiel furnaces are all idle and the only very tall stacks in South Harrisburg which are smoking are those at the old Paxtang electric plant and the Harrisburg Railways power plant. The Odd Fellows' convention, which adjourned yesterday, was one of the most pleasant to Harrisburg people of the long series that huve been held here. This great fraternity has a large membership in this city and its dele gates are entertained in Harrisburg homes to a great extent, Many of the men who come here h^. e been at tending conventions in the city for a long time and contribute to the pleas ure of the meetings here. Everv live or six years the Odd Fellows' pick Harrisburg for a convention and they are always welcomed and taken to the hearthstones of the State's capital. The other morning a dog was being given a trip on the front end of a pay-within car. He did not like the place of travel and he kept bolting back into the car until his mistress was flustered and passengers in the car irritated or amused, according as their breakfasts sat with them. Finally the motorman hit on a scheme. He just "meowed" like a cat and the dog sat up on the platform watching for the cat until he got over his scare. [ WELL KNOWN PEOPLE 1 —ln a speech at Philadelphia, John Wanamaker said that mercantile or ganizations could get closer together and chase away strange ghosts in the air of the business world. —The Rev.

Conwell was given a notable tribute to his work in the ministry and for educa tion in Philadelphia last night. THESTATE PRESS On tbe Other Hand [From the Seranton Times.] Because the cases against Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell and Frank Mor rison, officials of the American Federa tion of Labor, were dismissed bv the Supreme Court of the United States on the ground that the statute of limita tions barred prosecution of the men, there is an expression of dissatisfac tion in antiunion and corporate circles opposed to the Federation. Consider ing the fact that we are witnessing in the Federal courts, almost daily, the frantic efforts of capitalists and cor porations caught doing tilings improp | erly to evade responsibility upon all manner of technicalities that shrewd | lawyers only can devise, there is noth j ing strange in the Supreme Court's de cison giving the labor leaders the bene fit of what the law declares everybody is entitled to. * The Book Yards [From the Pittston Gazette.] At a time some years ago, when a craze for angular houses was spread ing over the land, some writer re marked that all the stylish houses had Queen Anne fronts and Mary Ann back yards. The craze referred to has pass ed, but the majority of people still keen back yards full of disorder. Most peo ple's back yards are more visible and exposed than they think. IN HARRISBURG FIFTY YEARS AGO TO-DAY [From the Telegraph of May 22, 1864.] Elprhth Pennsylvania Her* The Kighth Pennsylvania Reserves 1 arrived here on Saturday afternoon en route for Pittsburgh, at which place they will be mustered out of service. Telegraphers Return Messrs. Fottrel, Burkholder and Shel ly, of the Inland telegraph office, in this city, have returned from Washington, to which place they were taken last week, by order of the military authori ties. Doubtless the office wlil be open in a day or two. NO THOUGHTLESS The trouble with a fishing party is that some follow m the crowd alwavs Insists on flßliins.—Washington Herald RYAN MIUI GIVES MACHINE A MT Philadelphian Says All the King's Horses and King's Men Lined Up RYAN MAKES A STATEMENT Palmer Loses Grip in Historic Democratic District in Northeast i j Notwithstanding the statement is- I sued by Michael J. Ryan, in which he says he bows to the decision of the Democrats' on the nomination of a State ticket and asks his friends to do likewise, there has been no sign of any I cordiality between the Pliiladolphian and the party nominee. The state ment Issued by Ryan is perfunctory and if he has sent any congratulation or tender of support to Candidate Mc- Oormick it has not been made public. I People throughout the State are j watching the developments with a good bit of interest and it is freely predicted that the reorganization hopes for a "United Democracy" are very much in tho air. While Ryan has made his statement, Daniel Wade, chairman of the finance committee of the Ryan campaign, gave the machine a blast and handed a rap to President Wilson. His statement probably indicates the way many" Democrats feel about the result last Tuesday, and is a pretty sharp answer to the pleas of Candidate McCormlck for a united party and the statement issued by Palmer at Stroudsburg in which he asks that everyone line up. Wade's statement is as follows: "The battle waged by Mr. Ryan for the Democratic nomination was one of tho most remarkable in the history of Penn sylvania politics. Tremendous There was arrayed Power of against him all the the Machine machinery of the Democratic State committee, all the patronage which the national administration lias bp stowed, all the Federal otfices not oniy in the great cities, but in the towns and villages throughout the State; and notwithstanding the army of Federal oiticeholders and the weight of the national administration itself thrown in the scales against him, Mr. Ryan is defeated by less than 15,000. There have been promised thousands of Fed eral jobs. Money has been freely, lav ished and corruptly used. Dispensers of Federal patronage have threatened with displeasure any person holding public place. Three Cabinet officers have invaded the State. All these things have been done in tho interest of Mr. McCormlck to defeat Mr. Ryan. As a Democrat, I deeply regret that President Wilson hesitated until elec tion morning to denounce the con duct of Palmer and McCormick in attempting to link up his adminis tration with their fortunes, and he has probably awakened to the danger of trusting to the counsel of men who wouldv degrade the President of this great republic into tho chief of a fac tion of a State of which he is not a resident." Gifford Pinchot appears to have been bitten by the early campaign bug and he will start out from York next Monday morning to get a line on the Hull Moosers feeling of the voters. Anxious to Pinchot expects the Get Colonel Colonel to make a whole lot of speeches for him, although Fred F. Lewis, the candidate for Sec retary of Internal Affairs, is making a strong play to have the Colonel speak for him, too. Lewis said yesterday that to liis mind Palmer has no show in the senatorial race. He believes that it is between Penrose and Pin chot, arguing that thousands of Dem ocrats will not touch Palmer under any conditions. Other Bull Moosers are pulling for Roosevelt, too. Doc Kreider also looks for him to come here. —• J. Benjamin Dimmick issued a state ment last night at Scranton in which he declined to be the candidate of the Keystone -party for Sen ator and also made a declaration of his uttr- Pinunick tude in regard to the Defines senatorship. He says in Position effect that he is still a Republican. Mr. Dim mick's statement is as follows: "Inas much as during the latter part of my compaign I fully realized and frankly declared that Mr. Penrose had become a moral issue, and thereby publicly eliminated the possibility of my sup porting him in the event of defeat, I am called upon to make no further declaration in this regard. In order, however, that my fight for political standards that are fundamentally, yes, vitally important to the Republican party, may not be misconstrued, I feel called upon, at this time and without further delay, to decline tho nomina tion of the Keystone party."

He failed to I Grip Right nominate his can- Near His Home dldate for his suc cession and his whole slate in Northampton went down.

Con gressman Rothermel. another signer |of the call for party reorganization, was beaten by Arthur G. Dewalt, who was dethroned by the reoganization move he helped start. Palmer is said to be slated for a job at Washington when the people of Pennsylvania get a chance to show what they think of his use of Federal patronage. I POLITICAL SIDELIGHTS I —Judging from results, it's a good thing Palmer did not run for Con gress again. —Ryan may have made a manly statement, but there are some Demo crats who are still sore. —Reports that the Pa-Mc League will give a reception to Congressional Candidate Kaufman are premature. —Diefenderfer's nomination ap pears to be as doubtful as the support the Ryanitos will give to McCormick. l —Pinchot and liewia do not even consider that Palmer Is in the run ning. —Lex N.

They also robbed all the women and children in that place. THE PRESIDENT'S FEELINGS [From the Philadelphia North Ameri can.] From circles to tho White Hovise comes the disclosure that President Wilson is disturbed, even embittered, by current criticism of his administra tion. To most persons, we think, this news will be surprising, for ahy fair-minded observer of the attitude of the news papers and the people during the last year must admit that no public man was ever the object of more studious tolerance and good +vill. There has been, th'en. very little un favorable public comment; and that lit tle, which seems to have stung the President into a resentful spirit, has been caused chiefly by his feeble and futile Mexican policy, i Assuredly, tnere is no way in which I he can divide that burden, if such It be. He was the sole originator of that policy, and he alone enforced It until its development demanded the use of the army and navy. How careful has been the restraint of those who have a right to criticise will best be shown by recalling In their sequence the more I important moves In this matter made under the personal direction of the ! President. Yet in spite of this studied attitude of suport. if not of approval, the Presi dent has taken pains to express his bit ter resentment. And the strange vehicle selected for making known his feelings was the funeral oration he delivered over the victims of the taking of Vera Cruz. That address was marked by a felicity of phrase and loftiness of sentiment which fully justified the high repute of the President as a schodar and moral ist; there are In sentences worthy of lasting remembrance for their haunt ing beauty and high-minded patriotism. But these serve to emphasise the dis cordant tone of the concluding part. If ever there was an occasion to lift a man out of himself, to All him with the spirit of utter devotion, to the ex clusion of all personal thoughts, surely it was being called upon to speak over those seventeen flag-draped biers, where lay the bodies of brave men who had given up their lives for the honor of the nation. But the President could not give his thought wholly to those silent figures of heroism. There was a personal mat ter, a personal grievance, which came between him and the contemplation of their sublime service. It seemed to him proper to utter, In the presence of the nation's dead, this complaining pro test: I never went into battle, I never was under fire, but I fancy that there are some things just as hard to do your duty when men are sneering at you as when they are shooting at you. When thev shoot at you they can only take your natural life; when they sneer at you they cun wound your heart Inevitably the occasion recalls a far greater one—the dedication of the field of Gettysburg. That was really In the midst of war, and war not of the Presi dent's making. He was bearing a bur- LAWN MOWER 1 RAZOR BLADE (Patented) New Invention. Makes your Lawn Mower cut like a new one.

AGENTS WANTED rten of responsibility and woe such as mo other leader of men had ever borne, and he was the target for such sustain ed enmity and abuse as might have Jus tified a stern rebuke. Yet was ever man so tender, so self effacing, so inspirlngly forgetful of all save his country, as Abraham Lincoln vn that day in '63? His noble mind was bowed with grief, but not for himself; his heart was wounded, but not because of pride; his most sacred feelings were lacerated, but he hid them away. And from his tired lips came, not words of querulous complaint, but those match less utterances of pure patriotism and devotion which will thrill the world for all time to come. Tho crudity, the inapproprlatenenn and tha bad taste of this part of Presi dent Wilson's memorial oration shocked every sensitive person who read it. And the final proof of the forebearance of his critics can be found in the fact that it hns been passed over in compas sionate silence. Better for himself, and far better for the people of this country, would it be il' the President turned his thoughts from his own bruised feelings, his own wounded sensibilities, and considered more the heart of the nation whose honor he has in his keeping.
