PRIMARY STRAWS
WHAT is in store for the
Palmer-McCormick bosses of
the Democratic machine is
shown by the official figures
of Wilkes-Barre, where, according to
the Record, one of the most influen
tial newspapers in the anthracite field,
"the Democratic voters turned against
the gang's candidate for Governor,
Lieutenant-Governor and State Sena
tor. Nor was this all. There was
nominated a candidate for Congress
who is not in sympathy with the
gang." It is further stated by the
Record that the election of Daniel L.
Hart, as a member of the State Demo
cratic committee from the Twenty
first district of Luzerne county, is a
staggering blow to the local Court
house gang.
They gave the candidate for the
United States Senate a pitifully
small majority, in view of the fact
that Mr. PalmcV was the recognized
representative of the Wilson admin
istration and made an energetic
personal canvass of the county
while his opponent was practically
unknown. Now the control of the
Luzerne delegation to the State
committee passes out of its hands.
It is also shown by the official fig
ures that while Palmer received 5,954
votes, McCormick got but 4,023.
Brumbaugh received 6,076 votes.
These are the straws which indicate
more clearly than any argument the
drift of party sentiment and the
breaking down of the fake reform
propaganda of the White House twins.
Bees Swarm at Capitol."—Washing
ton dispatch. Irony of fate. Those
statesmen who have been stinging
others will now know how It feels to be
etung.
THE PRESIDENT AND THE G. A. R.
PRESIDENT WILSON'S refusal to
attend the Memorial Day exer
cises of the Grand Army of the
Republic at Arlington, while at
the same time accepting an invitation
to speak at the unveiling of a monu
ment to the Confederate dead in the
same cemetery next Thursday, has
aroused indignation throughout the
country.
Commenting on the President's re
fusal tu take part in the memorial
services, the Scran ton Tribune-Repub
lican says:
Coming on the heels of the action
of the Democratic administration in
removing old soldiers from the
Washington post office the veterans
have reached the conclusion tliat
prejudice, or at least indifference
toward them, is entertained in ad
ministration circles in Washington.
The Presential explanation that he
will absent himself from the Me
morial Day exercises because of a
determination to decline all invita
tions to appear in public while the
Mexican trouble is on, is not re
garded as sufficient for his accept
ance of the Confederate invitation
following his refusal to participate
in the Grand Army of the Republic
exercises.
The conviction that the President
is unfriendly toward the Grand
Army of the Republic has been
heightened by the recollection that
Mr. Wilson absented himself from
the Arlington Cemetery Memorial
Day ceremonies a year ago, spend
ing the day motoring in Virginia.
The veterans are very bitter and
their feeling is shared by thousands
of people throughout the United
States, who feel that the men who
died for their country are entitled
to more consideration.
It has not been forgotten that
President Wilson declined to attend
the great reunion of the survivors of
the Gettysburg battle last year and
that it was only by insistent urging
on the part of Democrats who real
ized the political effect of the Presi
dent's indifference that he was finally
persuaded to spend a few minutes on
the battlefield. His special car was
• run within a few feet of the entrance
of the great tent in which the cere
monies took place, and as soon as his
brief address was ended he hurried
away to his summer home in New
Hampshire. There was much com
ment among the old veterans at the
time regarding President Wilson's
neglect of them; and now comes a
statement rf the president of the
Rational Association of Post Office
Clerks protesting against the removal
of veterans from positions in Wash
ington which they are qualified to fill. 1
WILSON IN MEXICO
COLONEL HENRY WATTERSON
Is not Impressed with President
Wilson's proposition to force
benevolent assimilation upon
Mexico. The Colonel seems to think ,
the President Is foing to find It ;
THURSDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG tj TELEGRAPH ' , MAY 28, 1914.
pretty difficult to relieve the "sub
. merged" section of the Mexican people,
and declares he talks very much as an
I honest, sympathizing, sentimental New
England clergyman might and did talk
In 1865 of the negroes of the South.
"Such talk led to the visionary
freedman's bureau and the cruel and
, foolish tyranny of reconstruction, in
• volving years of hurtful things done
' with the noblest Intention on the part
1 of many who believed the blacks, op
pressed by the whites, required only
the ballot along with 'forty acres and
i a mule' to redeem and revitalize the
South.
1 "In consequence of errors, alike In
; jurious to both the blacks and the
j whites of the Soufh, the plan of fanat
ical uplift had to be abandoned. It is
partly the remembrance of this which
leads the Courier-Journal to challenge
the policy which the President has
adopted and to warn him against its
dangers.
After thus relieving his mind, Col
oned Watterson says the President's
"proposition Is preposterous. Such
statesmanship," says he, "exists only
in heaven. It has no abode on earth."
As there will doubtless be soma
amendment of the State-wide primary
law at the next session of the Legisla
ture, there ought to be provision made
for Immediate posting of the returns as
soon as the count shall have been com
pleted by the several election boards.
It Is rank absurdity to wait a week or
more to find out who are the nominees.
SPRUCING CP
ALL over the city property owners
and housekeepers are "sprucing
up" for the summer season.
> New sidewalks are being laid,
painters are busy, planting is going
on and there is a general cleaning
In every section of Harrisburg. This
is as it should be in a city which
stands as an exemplar for up-to-date
and progressive municipalities.
Heads of all the important depart
ments of the city are busy with the
summer plans and owing to the fore
handedness of the local authorities
hundreds of men who would otherwise
be idle are now employed.
With the full resumption of work on
the "Front Steps Of Harrisburg"—the
river wall —many more men will be
given employment and altogether the
improvements of the city mean work
for many who would otherwise be
without employment this summer.
Those who have not yet considered
improvement of their properties, even
in a small way, should remember that
in doing whatever they contemplate in
this direction at the present time they
are providing employment for the un
employed as well as placing their
houses and grounds in good shape for
the year.
What has become of the good' old
days when there used to be a band con
cert or two at Reservoir Park on Me
morial Day?
TECH "OPEN HOUSE"
JI'ST what interest the averago'Har
rlsburg parent takes in the work
of the schools was shown most
forcibly the other night, when
4.000 people crowded the halls and
workrooms of the Technical High
School.,on the occasion of the annual
"open house."
Evidence or such Interest by the
parent is unquestionably a stimulus
for better work on the part of both
student and instructor. And better
work in the study hall and the shop
room makes for better citizenship.
Next Fall domestic science and other
handicraft will be taught in the Cen
tral High School. The faculty of that
institution will do well to follow Tech's
example in giving parents a chance to
see just what sort of work the girls
will be doing.
The heroin victim who told Colonel
Hutchison you can cure kidney trouble
by digging up the body of a dead man
may be right. A little work does a lot
toward making men healthy.
SAVING THE BABIES
THE city health bureau has be
gun an extensive campaign to
reduce the infant mortality in
Harrisburg and as part of the
educational program Dr. J. M. J.
Raunick will issue pamphlets to moth
ers on the proper care of the child.
Every mother who has the health
of her little one at heart—and what
mother has not —should study these
expert suggestions until she has mas
tered them. In the first place Dr.
Raunick states that every man and
every woman owes it to the children
of the future to lead a clean life that
every baby may be well born. The
health officer gives everybody food
for thought when he says "the baby's
choice of parents is not its own."
Dr. Raunick urges further that
every Harrisburger should do his part
toward raising the standard of home
life that every child may be given a
good place to live as part of its birth
right. Filthy houses, it is pointed out,
are due to nothing more or less than
laziness. Personal, uncleanliness, dirty
cellars, backyards and alleyways, un- <
covered garbage cans, unwashed
dishes, the common towel and the
family drinking cUp are just a few
of the things warned against permit
tine In the home. No one will deny
that these are sins against home pur- i
ity that any person so minded can
correct.
One thing that Is soundly rapped
in the health bureau's suggestions is
alcoholism. Rum, declares the phy
sician, is one of the chief contribu
tory causes of infant mortality. Baby
saving and prohibition, apparently,
go hand in hand.
The farm price of beef goes up three
per cent. But, the Democrats will say,
who wants beef when the mercury
stands at 94 ?
Lack of time prevented Wilson and
Roosevelt from exchanging views, but
perhaps it is just as well.
Washington calls a new cocktail the
ABC. Which is about as far as the
mediators will get toward solving the
Mexican situation.
I EVENING CHAT I
We're going to have our own home
grown strawberries this year. Prob
ably not one in twenty had any doubts
on the subject, but it was not until
yesterday afternoon's rain camq/lilong
that the crop in this part of the state,
and that includes the York county
1 berries, was anything like certain. It
. has been a rather hard summer for
fruit of all kinds, the spring being late
because of the way King Winter
lingered around, and then when it
should have been hot to encourage the
, farmers it was cool. Ploughing, har
rowing, rolling and seeding is still in
progress on many farms In this sec*
tion and things as a rule are back
i ward. Then the dry spell, which was
broken yesterday, occurred to make
the roads simply tracks of dust and
; to cause plants which should have
been growing over night and showing
plenty of fruit to look wan and deli
cate . The strawberries-have been just
coming Into their own, being about as
large as the end of one's thumb. They
have been that way for a while and
people who have been observing them
declare that unless the rain had come
i the crop would have been pretty slim
and the genuine "York countys," the
, ancestors of so many planted through
out this region, would, not have had
the taste of the sunshine which makes
them without peer and causes the Vir
ginia. and Maryland berries to take a
back' seat. The first Pennsylvania
grown berries are reported from Ches
ter and Bucks counties, but it is dol
lars to doughnuts that the man who
raised them used the hose or sprink
ling can.
E. M. Bierbower, who is active irk
the work of the S. P. C. A., makes an
excellent suggestion regarding the
drinking fountains about the city
when he says that the fountains should
have places for dogs as well as men
and horses to drink. Every man who
owns a dog—and every man who has
a dog sympathizes with him—has no
ticed the amount of water a canine
can drink in summer time. Yet, there
are probably not half a dozen places In
all Harrisburg where a thirsty dog can
drink. A couple of the fountains have
basins for dogs, but for some inex
plicable reason those parts are closea
up. Anyone who has been about Capi
tol Park very much knows how the
dogs slip by the policemen to drink
at the two fountains near the Hart
ranft statue. The dogs deserve some
consideration and every fountain
should be equipped for them. Dogs
don't stay away from water in the dog
days. They go to it. The popular
belief Is that in the dog days the
canines develop hydrophobia and some
people think dogs don't want water in
that period. Science has exploded the
idea that hydrophobia is a hot weather
disease and the Indians never report
that disease among their dogs. Every
Indian tribe has a place where dogs
can drink and they are as well taken
care of in that line as the babies. The
city authorities could do a good deed
by providing for the dogs as well as
the horses at the fountains .
Some idea of the task confronting
the clerks at the Capitol In computing
the return may be gained from the
fact that each county returns on an
average ten returns. In some of the
big counties with several legislative
districts there are more, and Philadel
phia and Allegheny each have a regu
lar bale. There is more work con
nected with the primary returns com
puting this year than ever known,
owing to the new primary law.
Dr. Nathan C. Schaeffer, state super
intendent of public instruction, has
gone to the peace conference at Lake
Mohonk. The doctor has been one of
the pioneres in the peace movement,
having years ago urged that the his
tory of the United States be more con
cerned with the triumphs .of industry
and development and invention than
with the gory glories of war.
De Benneville Randolph Keim, a for
mer editor of the Telegraph, who died
at Washington last Sunday and was
buried at Readingthlsweek, knew many
Presidents intimately. He was a loyal
friend of President Arthur and the
President upon one occasion nomi
nated Mr. Keim for the secretaryship
of the Civil Service Commission, but
failed to secure his confirmation, owing
to the enmity of a senator whom Mr.
Keim had offended. When Secretary
of State William H. Seward visited
Alaska after the purchase from Russia
of that great tract, now one of the
great gold fields of the world, Mr.
Keim accompanied him on this famous
journey. Mr. Keim was very close to
President Harrison during his ad
ministration. Some years ago Mr.
Keim startled one of the White House
garden parties by wearing a brilliant
red necktie instead of the conventional
scarf. The red tie made a great hit at
the party and friends made many pro
tests against his breach of etiquette,
until President Taft appeared with a
scarf that was a dead "ringer" for
that used by Mr. Keim. President Taft
was delighted to find Mr. Keim had
also offended Madame Grundy and
both had a hearty laugh over the dis
comfiture of the critics who had been
guying Mr. Keim for his bravery In
wearing a colored scarf.

GIVE THEM EQUALITY
[From the Louisville Courier-Journal.]
The militant suffragettes whose latest
act of vandalism is the destruction of
several priceless works of art in the
National and Royal galleries in London
should he given equality in punish
ment. They are continually caterwaul
ing about the equality of the sexes. If
the sexes are equal In other ways they
are equal in responsibility to the law.
The civilized world is growing tired of
Great Britain's watchful waiting for the
militant lunacy to w«ar itself out.
The British art galleries are In a
sense world possessions. All civilized
countries feel a common proprietor
ship in the treasured works of the
painters and sculptors whose art ad
dresses itself not to a city or a coun
try, but to all who are capable of
appreciation.
London will have a pretty tale to
tell to the visitors of the next cen
tury if it must admit that while the
Government proceeded upon the the
ory that women could not be punished,
but must be let out Of jail upon the
first symptoms of a self-imposed
stomachache the,art galleries as well as
the historic country seats were devas
tated with torch and hatchet.
Many of us, from all lands, who go
to London, and many more who hope
to go, feci that Great Britain holds
its art objects In trust for the use of
this and future generations. Our
right as civilized beings and right
ful beneficiaries of genius is to de
mand a more careful trusteeship of
treasures that money cannot replace
There has been enough of fooling and
foozling. The harridans and the
hooligans should get their punish
ment in the same degree, with the
same certainty. Respect for the ad
ministration of the law in Great Britain
was world-wide until the days of the
cat-and-mouse act and Its cat-in-the
meal-tub results.
AN EVENING THOUGHT
Courtesy costs nothtng and
buys everything.—Old
WILSON ASKED TO
BE BURDENBEABER
Palmer and McCormick Already
Seeking Help in Their Fight
For Election This Fall
PRESIDENT RESIGNED TO IT
Republicans Will Make a Fight For
the Congressional Seats
in This State
Having run on a White House slate,
Palmer and McCormick are now ask
ing that President Wilson kindly act
as their life preserver In the storm
that is coming in November. Wash
ington advices are that the President,
alarmed as to the effect a Democratic
defeat in Pennsylvania would mean
after his slate had won at the primary,
is willing to become the burden bearer.
In Washington administration Demo
crats are pessimistic as to the out
come, having in mind the way Palmer
and McCormick fell down in 1912
when promised Pennsylvania to
Wilson and failed to get anywhere
even with the Republicans divided.
According to Washington folks,
there is a good bit of amusement
among the veteran politicians over the
way Palmer and McCormick rushed
to Washington as soon as the pri
maries were over to get promises of
help. The machine Democrats are
telling the administration people that
Palmer and McCormick won a great,
victory for the Wilson administration
in the Keystone State and that they
should be supported.
Wilson is said to be willing to make
a speech and to turn loose as many of
his cabinet officers as are not fighting
with each other by that time.
Gifford Pinchot was greeted by be
tween 125 and 150 Bull Moosers of the
real militant type last night at the
party headquarters in
Market street, and
they showed their Pinchot Puts
love for him and the Wilson Tag
cause by waiting for On McCormick
an hour and a half.
Pinchot was in Cum
berland county yesterday inspecting
the crops and did not get here until
after 9 o'clock. He had Congressman
Rupley and others with him and the
going was heavy. Mr. Pinchot was
given a tumultuous greeting and after
giving a "message" from the Colonel
proceeded to tell why McCormick
should not be elected Governor. He
ignored Palmer, considering that it was
self-evident that he shoud be preferred
to the Monroe man. As to McCormick,
he said that he knew Vance and that
he was a nice man, but he should be
defeated because he was the Wilson
administration candidate.
The Philadelphia Public Ledger in
a dispatch from Washington says:
"Republicans of Pennsylvania are get
ting ready to make an
active campaign this fall.
Congress and one of their chief aims
Battles will be to increase the pres
to Open ent Republican representa
tion from the State in the
Hfeuse. Representative Pat
ton, of Pennsylvania, member of the
congressional campaign committee, is
preparing to call a meeting at Harris
burg some time in June of all the
party congressional nominees for the
purpose of talking over the situation
and making plans for putting the
ticket through. Mr. Patton to-day au
thorized the following statement: 'The
Republican delegation from Pennsyl
vania in the next House should be
thirty. We hope to reclaim a number
of Democratic distj-icts in the Keystone
State, and if a vigorous campaign will
bring this about such a fight will be
waged. The tariff will be the big issue
in the State this fall'."
According to the expense account
filed by J. Benjamin Dimmiek, he
spent about half of his $12,084 in
Philadelphia. The Philadelphia citi
zens committee got $4,000 and the
Philadelphia headquarters $2,450. The
Altoona headquarters received SBOO.
Dimmiek found the campaign to be an
expensive affair.
The formal call for the Democratic
state committee went out to-day from
the state windmill. The meeting is to
be held at the Board of Trade on
June 3 at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
The plan of the machine, which con
trols the committee, is to re-elect State
Chairman Morris and to adopt reso
lutions prepared yesterday. Candidates
Palmer, McCormick and Creasy are to
speak. Up to date nothing has been
said about McNair being here.
Senator Penrose is at Marietta to
day attending the annual outing of
the Lancaster county people at Wild
Cat Falls. The senator has a number
of speaking dates through the eastern
part of the state.
1 POLITICAL SIDELIGHTS 1
—Rather unkind of Gifford to say
what a nice.young man Vance is and
then to add he has not the ghost of a
show for election.
—Up to date we have not heard of
any exchanges of felicitations between
McCormick and McNair.
—ln old days when any Pennsylva
nia Republicans went to Washington
they were accused of "framing" some
thing. "When Democratic bosses go it
is in performance of a high duty. It
all depends on who is in.
- —The West End Democrats havb
endorsed the ticket. The agony is
over.
—Someone asked yesterday what
good, full crops, outlined in the Patriot
cartoon of yesterday, were going to do
when people are out of work and can't
buy them.
—Grim appears to have beaten
Diefenderfer, the machine pride in the
Bucks-Montgomery district, by four
votes.
—Roosevelt is billed to speak at
Shamokin in the fall.

places prove that this statement of Its

WILSON AND MEXICO
[From the Philadelphia Ledger.]
The statement of the administration's
purposes is the most alarming pro
nouncement ever made by an Ameri
can President. He proposes, it ap
pears, to introduce and establish in a
foreign nation the complete sov
ereignty which we are pledged to re
spect, a new system of land tenure
on a scale never before attempted in ,
history. He proposes to take the land
from those who have come into pos
session of it lawfully and legally and j
to divide It up among the unlanded
masses. Were he to attempt in this
country what he plans and demands
for another country, in the internal
affairs of which he is an intruder, his
impeachment or revolution would im
mediately follow.
The nobility of his purpose is beside
the question. He Is clothed with no
authority to do what he is doing. Our
Constitution could not give him such
authority. It could not make him
overlord of the world. The defense of
our property rights, the protection of
our citizens, the upholding of the
national honor, the vindication even of ,
civilization can justify occupation of ;
Mexican soil, but when our Interfer
ence is predicated on a deliberate de- i
sign to overturn the laws of Mexico, 1
to revise its constitution, to define its
domestic policies, to strip it of sov«
ereignty under the guise of human!- ]
tarianlsm, we embark upon an adven- ,
ture that is internationally wanton ag
gression and Is domestically an over- ]
turning of our own established lnsti- 1
tutions and jurisdiction. It means that '
the power of the nation is being ,
abused, and that the President Is de- ,
liberately exorcising authority that he |
does not lawfully possess.

We kick and rave about the
And lots of duties shirk;
We simply cannot do our best, >'"j
It Is too hot to work.
But when our business day is o'er I
To a back lot we go,
And for an hour a baseball
Around the diamond throw.
The trouble is that we reverse
Things as they should be done.
Just try a course that's opposite—
Begin the day with fun.
Get up right early in the day
And have that game of ball.
And you will find it easy quite
To work until nightfall.
