SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 23
JUDGE KI NKEI S VICTORY
PRESIDENT JUDGE GEORGE
KUNKEL, of Dauphin county,
has been nominated for the State
Supreme Court under conditions
that practically assure his election next
November.
Without going deeply into the ele- j
ments of the situation it may be said
there are indications that Judge
Kunkel will receive a heavy vote not
only within the Republican ranks but j
that thousands of Democrats, Progres
sives and independents will cast their
ballots for him. It is believed that
Judge Frazer polled nearly his maxi- j
mum strength at the primary polls, j
while thousands of voters who would
otherwise have favored Judge Kunkel
were restrained by party considerations
or the desire to give some "favorite j
son" a complimentary vote.
All of the complex elements that |
entered into the campaign previous to
the primaries have been eliminated.
Party considerations cannot possibly
affect the situation, and as between
the two candidates in the field there
can be no question of the superiority
of Judge Kunkel, although Judge
Frazer is a man of ability and high
character.
Judge Kunkel is in the very prime
o'f virile manhood, with every prospect
of living through the entire twenty-one
years of the term to which he will
be elected in November, a very im
portant factor, indeed. Judge Frazer,
on the other hand, is older in years,
although younger in experience.
Where in the world could be found
a man better fitted for the Supreme
Court of Pennsylvania by natural
ability, high character, legal training,
experience as a lawmaker, district at
torney and judge than Judge Kunkel?
If he had deliberately planned his
career it is doubtful if he could have
selected a better means of qualifying
himself for a place on the Supreme
bench. Springing from sturdy, honest
stock, he entered the legal profession
in early life and soon became one of
the most able lawyers at the Dauphin
county bar. He spent six years in the
legislature, the great lawmaking body
of the State, and the fact that every
one of his colleagues in those legis
lative days still active in politics gave
him hearty support in the recent cam
paign is testimonial sufficient of the
high esteem in which he was held by
them and of the lasting impression his
career as a legislator left on their
minds. Six more years he spent as
district attorney of Dauphin county,
and a glance over the trial lists will
show what that means. There is no
court in the commonwealth, Allegheny
and Philadelphia included, that tries
more important cases than the Dau
phin county court.
As judge he presided in the Capitol
conspiracy cases so ably that the Su
preme Court sustained him on every
one of the complicated and unusual
points of law raised by the famous
lawyers who constituted the des
perately contending counsel for the
defendants. In addition he procured
the return of nearly two millions of
dollars of stolen money to the State.
He is the judge who sustained the
"full crew" law and he has presided
over more election contests and State
tax appeals than any other two Judges
in Pennsylvania, and in all of them he
has so conducted himself as to win the
admiration of even those against whose
contentions he decided.
He made a splendid showing at the
primaries, but his total vote is a mere
handful as compared to the avalancht
that will be launched in his favor in
November.
Even the perfunctory endorsement of
the successful Democratic candidates
by their "bi-partisan" opponents does
not deaden the sound of the grindstone
and the knives that are being sharp
ened for November.
TIIE CANAL, AND BUSINESS
IN these days of business depression
it is pleasant to note that all thb
consular reports agree that when
the Panama canal once opens for
business many industries which havt,
hitherto been more or less dormant in
South America will be stimulated into
activity. The United States furnishes
a profitable market for many products
of the southern continent and with J
eaav and rapid transportation facilities
supplied this market will extend to
perishable as well as the more staple!
V
SATURDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH MAY 23, 1914
products. One of the most profitable
industries for which some of the South
American countries are especially well
adapted is that of fruit growing.
Last year the United States im
ported something over $32,000,000
worth of fruits from foreign countries
These consisted almost altogether of
the kinds that are produced in limited
quantities or not at all in country,
such as bananas, currants, dates, figs,
olives, etc. Apricots, peaches, pears,
plums, cherries and the many other
fruits to which we are accustomed
would find a splendid market here in
the winter season if they could be had
fresh. It is this demand for our native
fruits in the off season which will
develop the fruit industry in the west
coast countries of South America, for
with refrigerator steamers they can be
shipped via the Panama canal from
Callao, Peru, to New Orleans in seven
or eight days and the fast frujt trains
of the railways will have them in Chi
cago and eastern markets in two or
three days more. Fresh ripe peaches
in New York in December and January
at reasonable prices will be one of the
results of the building of the Panama
canal, if President Wilson's tolls policy
does not keep prices up.
Congressman SI. Clyde Kelly, who
broke into Congress from the old Dal
zell district of Western Pennsylvania,
has been denied a renomination by the
Republican party. It could hardly have
been otherwise in view of the fact that
Kelly voted for the Underwood tariff
bill, without regard to the Important
iron and steel industries of his con
stituency. The Kellys and Rupleys and
others of their stripe will be retired to
private life next November.
COMPLETE Tin: WORK
WITH the City Planning Com
mission organized and in
hearty co-operation with Su-
perintendent of Parks and
Playgrounds Taylor, there is nothing
now in the way of a completion of the
original park plans and development.
Whatever is yet to be done in the way
of acquiring the necessary properties
for the parkway and parks ought to
bo done without further delay. Every
day will add to the difficulties and the
cost.
Fortunately for Harrisburg, many
of its generous landholders have freely
given of their holdings, and It Is only
due to these generous citizens that the
park authorities speedily complete
whatever is yet to be done. On the
tour of the Chamber of Commerce
this week the splendid development
of Harrisburg's parks and playgrounds
was the theme of many of the speeches
lof .hose in other cities and towns.
jThis city has been an inspiration in
ithis direction for many of our neigh
| bors, and with the City Planning Com-
I mission thoroughly in touch and in
j hearty accord with the Department
jot" Parks and Playgrounds, there ought
jnot be any difficulty in completing this
summer the splendid park system
which was so comprehensively de
! signed in the beginning of the lm
j provement campaign more than a
: decade ago.
Mercer county is going to send to
| the Legislature Fred. Fruit, a son of tho
s late Senator Fruit, who represented the
Mercer district in the State Senate for
| several years. Fred. Fruit is extremely
1 popular in his home county and is a
, lawyer of ability, who will represent
: with credit an intelligent and important
j constituency.
REPUBLICAN SUCCESS
DISCUSSING the campaign of
1914 and results of the pri
maries of Tuesday, the Public
Ledger of Philadelphia, in re
ferring to Senator Penrose's nomina
tion, intimates that his success in
November ' will be due to the deep
resentment felt by the people over the
destructive effects upon Pennsylvania
interests of Democratic blundering
aiTd persistence of stupid legislative
attacks upon business."
There can be no doubt of the mean
ing of the Republican rally of Tues
day throughout Pennsylvania. Only
those who choose to shut their eyes
and close their ears can get any com
fort out of the figures for the oppo
nents of the Republican party. And
all efforts to "distort the situation for
the encouragement of the anti-Repub
lican aggregation will be futile in the
face of a deep-seated public resent
ment against Democratic blundering
at Washington.
Democratic bosses are now trying to
persuade men who are thrown into
idleness by the Wilson free trade
propaganda that they are simply en
joying a holiday and that they ought
to be glad of a chance to rest. We shall
expect presently to have our Demo
cratic friends tell these same 'idle men
that they only imagine they are out of
work.
MARTIN G. BRUMBAUGH
THE question has been asked:
"Why did Martin G. Brumbaugh
poll a vote at the primaries that
practically assures his election
next Fall?
There are two reasons. One of them
is the deep resentment of Pennsyl
vania people against the Wilson ad
ministration and the other is Martin
G. Brumbaugh himself.
The Republican candidate is a
mighty big man; big in everything
that goes to make for bigness of char
acter. He is a giant physically, mor
ally, intellectually and spiritually, in
all his years as head of the Philadel
phia school system his enemies have
never once raised a single question as
to either his ability or his nonesty. A
leader In the civic, municipal and edu
cational development of the Quaker
City, Mr. Brumbaugh has not only
won the respect of all who know him,
but he has won their love. Speak to
any child of school age in all Phila
delphia and you will learn how deeply
Martin G. Brumbaugh is enshrined in
the hearts of the young folks.
And surely it is- not a false phil
osophy to believe that he who Is 1 >ved
by the young can be trusted by vheir
elders.
President Wilson's newspaper support
ers are making a strenuous effort at
this time to overcome the widespread
dissatisfaction with the administration
on account of Its vacillating policy j n
international affairs and Its unrelenting
attitude of hostility towards the busi
ness interests of the country. Just now
the President's apologists are endeavor
ing to have it appear that the adminis
tration is simply harpooning the big
business that, is not in tune with the
\\ ilson idea of how business should be
conducted. But as a matter of fact, big
and little business is getting the same
treatment under the mistaken policies
of the party in power.
A\ e aro now assured that Revenue
Collector Kirkendall will make some
changes in his deputies. Strange that
these changes come immediately after
the primary election.
1 EVENING CHAT"
hat do you think of the suggestion
that June 1 be observed as "Rooster
Day" in Pennsylvania and that on that
day all roosters bo killed, sold or
penned up. The idea has been given
hearty endorsement by A. L. Martin,
director of the State Bureau of farm
ers' Institutes and of the farm counsel
lors' work. The suggestion of "Rooster
I Day" was made in a letter to Mr.
I Martin by \V. Theo Wittman famous
| as the poultry expert in the farm coun
sellors" division of the State Depart
ment of Agriculture. It is his Idea to
get rid of the surplus of roosters and
at the same time improve the quality
of fowls and yield of eggs. Mr. Witt
man, with years of experience as a
i poultryman and familiar with experi
! ments with chickens at agricultural
I experiment stations and at large poul
try farms, considers that the chanti
cleer is an expensive star boarder, en
tirely too numerous as a general pro
position and that the cost of the keep
of so many adds.needlessly to the cost
,of every dozen eggs produced. There
are other reasons, the chief being that
observation has shown that liens kept
without roosters from June 1 to Janu
ary 1 "will lay more eggs, will live
longer, will be in better plumage and
be tamer." Mr. Wittman says: "The
practice of having males running with
Hocks of chickens, especially in warm
weather, is directly responsible for an
eLormous loss of money annually, rep
resented by the eggs that have to be
thrown away because of spoiling, the
direct result of being fertile. The
value of the eggs that have to be
thrown away in Pennsylvania for this
reason is from $1,000,000 to $2,000,-
000." He holds that sterile eggs are
the best fitted for food in the warm
weather. It is also suggested that June
1 should bo made the close of the
hatching season. Date hatched chick
ens are the least profitable, holds Mr.
Wittman. The roosters not intended to
be kept for breeding should be sold at
from eight to twelve weeks.
Observance of Ascension Day, which
has always been more or less noted in
this section of the State, appears to
be growing more and more general,
and Thursday thero were many people
at services or participating in various
events of the day. This was especially
so iu the smaller communities and
in some boroughs ol' the county, not
ably those iu which Germans predomi
nate, many stores were closed and
people out enjoying the day. In Har
risburg the event of the day was the
parade of the Knights Templar who
attended services.
This is the season of complaints
about the dust in the loads leading
to the city. Most of the highways en
tering llarrisburg are made of lime
stone and it has become powdered
through the heavy Spring traffic and
every passing breeze distributes it over
the landscape, trees, shrubbery, grass
and even (lowers being coated with the
particles. The trolley cars sweep it
up in clouds and the automobiles
create cyclones of dust. It is re
grettable that the custom of using oil
has not grown in this community.
Roads leading to Hummel :own and
Middletown beyond the paved districts;
are a terror to those who have to ride'
over them.
People who have been interested in '
military affairs in this city for a long
time will hail with pleasure the inti
mation that Captain George C. Jack,
of the Governor's Troop, is arranging
for an open air drill. If it can be
worked out this drill will take place
near the State arsenal, there being a
lafge Held at Sixteenth and Herr which I
is well adapted for the maneuvers.
The crowded condition of the hotels!
of the city this week, due to the nu-1
merous conventions and meetings of I
State organizations held here, caused :
more or less embarrassment for the i
traveling men who come here in regu
lar trips and for people who had busi
ness at the Capitol or other places in
the city. These men made the rounds
of the hotels and found everything
filled. Most of the rooming houses
were filled up. As a result the Turk
ish bath establishments were filled
every night. ,
Owing to the interest in the candi
dacy of Judge Kunkel among lawyers
throughout the State there have been ]
messages sent here by men prominent
in the law in a score or more of coun
ties asking for information about the
way the judge is runing. Many peo
ple who have transacted business in
State tax cases here have been among
the most enthusiastic workers in be
half of Junge Kunkel and they have
been asking how the fight is going.
This city with three State candidates
has been very much on the political
map this year.
Some of the houses recently sold
to the Pennsylvania Railroad interests
in the district about Mulberry street
include buildings probably older than j
any others. Several of the houses late- j
ly transferred are over a century old
and some of them are of the log con- 1
struction which was the first method j
adopted here. These old log houses are |
as solid as the day they were put up
and the demolition of them will show
great rough hewn timbers that are
good for years to come.

ROOSEVELT AND WILSON
[From the Philadelphia Public Ledger]
Mr Roosevelt now finds a country
teeming with resentment against the
weak, vacillating and even humiliating
foreign policy of the Government. He
will not have to prove incompetency;
he will have merely to assert it. There
is nonti more skilled than he in capi
talizing such a situation. Demagogv can
make much of the Columbian treatv and
the tolls exemption. The anti-business
war, the hysterical surplusage of inves
tigations, the mad crusade for smelling
committees, the disastrous effects of a
"competitive tariff" on American for
eign trade, the threatened destruction
of the sugar-growing industry, all com
bine to give him the sort of assest that
this paf master of polities knows so
well ltow to use. i

Carbon county, where James 1. Blaks
lue failed to hold the line for Mc-
Corniick. Delaware county, the home
of Berry, also landed in the Ryan
column, and Erie, where the bosses
thought they had a cinch, went for
Ryan by 300. Elk county, the home
of Senator Hall, the object of so many
McCormick attacks, went for Ryan
by over 1.100. Revenue Collector
Fritz Kirkendail was beaten in Lu
zerne and Joe O'Brien in Lackawanna.
United States Marshal Xoonan failed
to prevent Ryan winning Schuylkill.
B. B. McGinnis and Joe Ilowley failed
to keep Allegheny from Byan and
Congressman Warren Worth Bailey
lost Cambria. Palmer carried Mon
roe and lost his local ticket in North
ampton and for Congress. McCor

at home. Perhaps the "watcher" sys
tem should have been used in other
counties.
As late figures come In they show
the manner in which the vote of Dr.

throughout the State,

predicting that it will Brumbaugh

a record. In many Ear Ahead
counties he was the

sixty counties compiled at Philadel

271 and Ryan 79.223. It is not ex
pected that the Democratic total of
votes will go to 200,000. As the vari
ous candidates for Keystone nomina
tion for Governor are dropping out it
looks as though Dr. Brumbaugh would
be named on that party ticket, too.
Late returns compiled at Scranton
show Dimmick has carried twelve
counties. Bull Moose chieftains are
saying that since Roosevelt is coming
their party will take on a new lease
of life. In fact, the announcement
of the coming of the Colonel has
stirred the organizations of all par
ties.

that he would be a candidate for re

Democratic county

liable, T. K. Van Dyke,
also figured in the proceedings in a
long statement in which various
things were said about McCormick,
but nothing about the new system of
raising an army of "watchers." Post
master Frank C. Sites offered a resolu
tion endorsing Moeslein, but no one
opposed it and the Herr Chairman
went home in a good humor. The
meeting was as large as could be
expected right after the inaugura
tion of the policy of having numerous
"watchers." There is no doubt of the
popularity of the new policy.

HARD BUSINESS FACTS
[Prom the New York Sun.]
The revised tariff has been in force
| for more than seven months. The iig
' iires available show that since the be
! ginning of last October to the end of
last month exports decreased $113,012,-
! "55, in comparison with the correspond
j ing period in the previous year. At
■ the same time imports Increased $23.-
625,493. As a result the trade balance
I for the seven months ended in April
[was less favorable by $136,638,048 than
! for the same months in the previous
I year.
This is a very large shift, but its
significance is made more impressive
when it is noted that last month alone
the alteration in the relation of imports
and exports compared with the April
figures a year ago converted an export
balance of $53,890,849 to an import
balance of $10,271,872, a total change
ot $64,162,721 adverse to the United
States.
It has taken a little while for the
influence of tariff revision to make I
itself felt in the trade movement, but I
it can hardly he disputed that the new 1
tariff is operating as a powerful stimu- I
lus to importations. March imports
increased $27 335 806. This gain was '
•Si n by nn expansion of
»Jb,44t),2b3, an increase of $53,782 069
for the two months, the comparison

hold their own In comparison with the
outward movement in the previous
year, while April exports fell $37,444 -
