Following his solemn pro nouncement of last week to the effect that the industrial depression of the country is all a matter of mental view point we are told that "the present unsatisfactory condition of business is less felt in the United States than in any other part of the world." In other words, business men every where are all affiioted with a kind of "psychological jimjams," only those of this country have the disease In less violent form. 'Tis a malady past the potent effects of vaccination to pre vent, apparently. But the cure is so simple! Belief in the President! Confidence in the Ad ministration! That will do the trick. Just believe that business is going to he good and it will «e good. Shut your eyes to the fact that a Demo cratic tariff has flooded the country with cheaply made foreign goods and robbed you of your market. Forget that the railroads are being held in doubt as to what the government in tends to do with them. Disregard the fact that a Democratic Congress is bent on experiments In commercial vivisection with the business of the nation on the operating table. Just be lieve In Wilson —that's all—and, In, the silent wheels will commence to turn, the smokeless chimneys to roll forth clouds and the dollars will he gin to rattle into the empty till like rain-drops in a summer storm. Did ever jester in cap and bells de-1 liver himself of greater balderdash than this? It would be rarely humor ous were it not so pitifully tragic. Four different State committees will meet in Harrisburg this week to formulate their platforms and prepare for the campaign this year. Under old conditions these declarations of prin ciples would have been enunciated in the party conventions, but under the new order of things the party commit tee will now do what was previously done by the convention. Tt is the dif ference between tweedle-dum and tweedle-dee. PROF. SHAMBAI'GHS PI,AN PROFESSOR SHAMBAUGH'S tirst announcement as superintendent of the Dauphin county schools shows that he has an eye to the practical in public education. He pro poses to obtain the aid of State Col lege for the introduction of domestic science throughout the grades. Pro fessor Shambaugh says he has tried the experiment in the schools of Wi conisco and has found that it gives "V excellent results. In this respect It is interesting to note a recent article in the Telegraph calling attention to the accomplish ments of Highspire pupils along this line. The work in that borough com pares very favorably with that of the larger cities. W'hat has been done so successfully in sporadic instances upon the initia tive of the individual teacher ought to be successful when applied in a uni form manner to the whole county. Professor Shambaugh's plan will no doubt add much to the efficiency of the educational system of the district un der his superlntendency. Bryan says "the new tariff has In creased our exchange." May be so, but not our change. SAVING THE BABIES THE Pure Milk Society of Har risburg is rendering a great and unselfish service to the city. It has opened its headquarters at 1109 Green street for the summer months and undertakes not only to see that "baby" has pure milk but that It has proper home and medical attention. Doctors and trained nurses are at hand to render their expert aid to the puzzled mother. One thousand babies less than one year old die In Pennsylvania every year. "It's God's will" Is a phrase that rises readily to the tongue when the little white hearse pauses before the door of a stricken home. But in a large number of cases we lay the blame on Providence when It belongs with an ignorant or careless mother. 'AH things else being equal, it is the y ' - -W, \ TUESDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH ' JUNE 2,1914. baby who la given pure food In proper proportions, who lives In sanitary sur roundings and is cared for in a com mon sens© manner who is chubby, rosy and happy. It Is Just such care as this that the Pure Milk Society proposes for Harris burg babies. Many a baby has died from the effects of a pure milk diet. The society will see to it not only that the milk is good, but that the food prepared from it Is scientifically suited to the needs of the child and that the mother learns how to make the mix ture. The health rules published in full In yesterday's Telegraph are models of common sense and simplicity. They can be observed in the humblest o£ homes, as they involve no expense whatsoever, and the code, ought to be framed and hung in every nursery. Foster parents must undergo tests before adopting babies In Chicago. It's a wise child that picks its own parents. CONSPIRACIES AND NIGHTMARES WHEN the Washington Admin istration encounters opposi tion statements are at once issued to the effect that con spirators are at work to discredit the small men with whom the President has surrounded himself, and the ar bitrary occupant of the White House himself permits his imagination to get the better of his Judgment. Now the White House wireless is busy with a story, according to a Washington observer, that there is a conspiracy to magnify Roosevelt and minimize Wilson, and the Administra tion shouters are also worried over Champ Clark and the Arlington inci dent. Then comes the conspiracy stories with which the country has been re galed from time to time—the lobby conspiracy, the Waif Street traitors, the big business giants, the Panama Canal conspirators and all the rest. But not a word of the Administra tion conspiracies—the livtle games to discredit the men not in sympathy with the President, the failure to give Congress full information on impor tant matters requiring action by the lawmaking branch, and the very ac tive conspiracy against business. But. says J. C. Hemphill, writing to the Public Ledger from Washington: The President protests that there is no such thing; that the present business depression is merely a state of mind; that there is no sub stantial reason why the business of the country should not be in the most prosperous and expanding condition. But it is not. He knows It: yet persists in going ahead with bis work of reconstruction, deaf to the representations and entreaties of great bodies of business men that the very foundations of our business prosperity are threatened by the radical measures that have been proposed with the President's approval in Congress. The Presi dent thinks that it would be a great deal better "to do the wrong thing moderately and soberly now than to wait until more radical forces had accumulated, and It was necessary to go much farther." This, too, when it has been shown that there is neither moderation nor sober ness in the propositions that have been made, when the crudity of the Executive legislation has been ex posed, when business all over the country is on the ragged edge of disaster, when investment Is par alyzed and industry is idle. The President should be concerned about his own state of mind touch ing these matters and examine himself to see whether or not he is dealing: fairly with the business interests of the countrv. Huerta has called for volunteers. With a shot-gun? It isn't pleasant to enter a campaign •>n the defensive, but the White House twins—Palmer and McCormick—already realize that their primary experiences were as nothing: compared to what is going to happen to tlietn durlne the next few months. They must take their medicine with the Wilson administra tion, and it is not going to he a pleas ant dose. THE CITY'S "FRONT STEPS" WITH the resumption of work on the river wall contract this week practically alf of the outdoor undertakings of the city are again under way. Thou sands of people are now using the River Front and, with the comple tion of the hank, the walks and the wall—the "Front Steps of Harris burg"—the thousands of residents in the western section of the city will have the same facilities as those south of Herr street. Those who years ago protested that it was an impossible proposition are at this time the most enthusiastic ad vocates of the improvement. Now that labor is abundant it is expected that this work will proceed rapidly, inasmuch as hundreds of men can be employed at the same time on differ ent sections of the big job. With the completion of River Front work and the dam it is proposed to have a great carnival on the river by way of a proper celebration of these municipal betterments. Already there is talk of boat clubs and other aquatic organizations, and next summer should see some interesting sports on the river. Democratic apologists for the Wilson administration realize that the proposed repeal of the exemption of tolls for the coastwise shipping of the United States at the Panama Canal is a most un popular subject with the people. Added to the derelictions in other directions and the Increasing disfavor of the ad ministration the outlook for the acci dental bosses of the Government is far from encouraging. Dr. Samuel G. Dixon continues to is sue at frequent intervals his wise sug gestions for the health of the people. His latest hint to housekeepers to re duce the furnishings and the heavy carpets and curtains during the heated term is eminently practical and needs no emphasis to enforce its Importance. Statement of T. R. has stirred the Democratic machine as nothing has done since the present dynasty assumed power. The Colonel's possible line-up with Republicans against the Wilson experimental Government has caused a panic at Washington. Judge Gary's recent optimistic prophecy as to business Is quoted by the President as his basis for saying that prosperity would come with a jump if the manufacturers believed It was coming. Wonder if Judge Gary would have made the same sort of a speech under other conditions at Wash ington and with no shadow of more regulation foiling across ills pathway? has won Its light with Con gress, and the anti-trust measures will provide that no labor or farmers' or ganization shall be held to be n combi nation or conspiracy in restraint of trade unless specific acts stamp them illegal. President Wilson's theory of present business conditions may be summed up in Paul's definition of faith—"the sub stance of things hoped for. the evidence of things not seen." Hundreds of persons have been con verted through evangelistic services at by kens during the last month, and the whole upper end of Dauphin county has felt the effect of the Nicholson Henuninger campaign. 1 EVENING CHAT 1 If anyono ever needed any good reason for the establishment of a city planning commission, all that could be asked is to be had by a trip out Derry street. Between Nineteenth and Twenty-third streets, the section which is to be paved this summer, there are to be found a variety of grades, and to adjust matters it will be necessary to make a lot of changes that will be expensive and troublesome. The diffi culty was that when the street was accepted the city fathers had to take first the line of the old turnpike and then the grades established by abutting property owners. These were never very stable, as can be seen by houses which are perched ten feet above the street level, while others are live feet and some are almost near the level of the present highway. Now the Har risburg Railways Company Is rebuild ing its line preparatory to the paving operations and the track is according to the grade established for paving. This means a further cut. The same difficulty will probably be met in other streets and it all goes to illustrate the Importance of having a commission which will look ahead and prepare for the improvements which are bound to follow because of city growth. One need not for musical va riety any afternoon or evening in Mar ket street. There are half a dozen "movie" palaces, each furnished with some kind of musical contrivance, which give to the street a festive air and furnish all the popular tunes. On Saturday, for Instance, every one of the machines was wound up to the "Star-Spangled Banner," "America," "The Blue and the Gray," "Tramp, Tramp, Tramp" and similar appro priate airs. Yesterday "A Hot Time in the Old Town To-night" and the "Good Old Summertime" were played. To-day the wedding march was played in compliment to June brides and to morrow patriotic airs will probably be in order because of meetings of state committees, not forgetting "Little Drops of Water" in honor of the Prohibitionists. The Public Library's reference ques tion desk helped a good many young people out In the preparation of their essays for this month's events in schools and some of them made the staff of the library hustle. The refer ence desk at the library is prepared to furnish information on short notice and if some of the writers of essays in the schools would be called upon to give authorities they would have to go some. The reference question desk answered 195 questions in May; not the questions one can answer right off the bat, like dates or the birthdays of famous men, but questions involv ing some search. The slowness in making the count of of the primary is causing more embarrassment to stakeholders. There were a rood many bets made on ma jorities and some of the sums wag ered went on countiep on various con tests. Now, nothing is known about nine-tenths of tho fights and while the men who think they won are clamor ing to be paid, men who hold stakes are reluctant about it. Harrisburg people who have travel ed on the St. Lawrence will recall the town of Rimouski by the spires of the two churches against the skvline right back of the wharf. The town is about the size of Mechanicsburg and is on a dip in the bluffs which line the southern shore of the river The wharf is a big affair and, like all St. Lawrence wharves, has provis ion for the tide which some times goes twenty feet. Where the accident occurred the river is over twenty miles wide. Rimouski is about fifty miles from Tadoussac, which is the point where the boats leave the St. Lawrence to go up ..ne Saguenay. The Harrisburg Railways Company has started to do its part toward alle viating the dust conditions near the city by sprinkling the tracks and rights of way with oil. The lirst work has been done on the Paxtang line, which is the most traveled of any on the system because of the opening of the park, and the improvement Is so marked that people are asking why the city does not do something along the same line in Derry street, where it is not paved. There was a skurr.ving around of "Saturday night candymen," as they are called in the stores on Saturday owing to the fact that stores observed the holiday and the average man did not go to the trouble of giving his order the day before. The conse quence was that there was a run on drug stores and the usual brands were not offered for Sunday at a good many homes. f WELL KNOWN PEOPLE 1 —Clarence S. Geesey, secretary to Congressman Brodbeck. is being boomed for postmaster of York. —Harry Grim, of Doylestown, is to address the Knights of Pythias at their big meeting in Bucks county.

SENATOR'S BORAH'S VIEWS One of the most interesting and sig nificant comments on the Roosevelt statement was by Senator Borah, of Idaho, whose name is frequently men tioned for the Republican nomination In 1916. Senator Borah was an active supporter of Colonel Roosevelt for the Republican nomination at the Chicago convention in 1912, but declined to fol low him Into the Bull Moose party. "I am very glad," said he, "to see Colonel Roosevelt take up with his usual vigor and decisiveness the fight for Republican policies and principles. The logic of his statement is that there must be united action in order to re lieve the country from conditions he describes and terminate the policies which he criticises. I am exceedingly pleased to see him in the fight." "It looks to me as if Mr. Roosevelt Is paving the way to a union of forces between the Progressives and the pro gressive Republicans," said Representa tive Davis, of Minnesota ,a progressive Republican.

HUE MEETINGS OF BIG COMMITTEES Not Much Likely to Be Done To morrow Except Elect and Hear Some Speeches DEMOCRATS TO ORATE Will Throw Bouquets at President Wilson; Returns and Ex penses Not in Yet It is expected that the meetings of the four State committees to be held here this week will be tame and that the members will show themselves In favor of a lull In the campaign until Fall. This is said to meet with the approval of almost every candidate, and if Pinchot persists in his tours of the counties many men feel like let ting him go as he is not stirring up any enthusiasm. The advance guard of the Demo-1 cratic bosses is expected this after- J noon. Palmer, McCormlck and Mor-1 rls had a powwow over the platform in Philadelphia last night and it Is said to be in shape to administer to the committee when it meets to-morrow afternoon. The Prohibition people will hold forth at 10; the Republicans at 11.30 and the Democrats at 2 to-morrow. All three will probably re-elect their State chairmen. It appears to be pretty well settled that the Republican State committee will wait until Fall to frame a plat form, the position being taken that the issues will Speeches , be then more defined, to Form The Democrats, however. Feature are planning to go right ahead and give out a platform which will em body the flanks of Palmer and Alc- Cormick. 'Both Palmer and McCor mlck will make speeches to the State committee to-morrow afternoon. The Republicans' meeting will be more or less perfunctory, as little will be done beyond electing a chairman and hear ing some speeches. The Bull Moosers are said to intend to allow their decla rations of last January to stand. They will also have speeches. to -morrow is the last day for filing expense accounts for the recent pri mary election, and over a dozen men who were candidates for State - wide nominatiins have yet to enter their Expense statements at the Capi- Accounts tol.

Within the Park comfortable quar ters are to be had at Glacier Park Hotel and elsewhere; and the Glaciers, the lofty mountains, the crystal lakes tilled with gamey trout; the atmos phere of bigness ruling everywhere, are wonders never to be forgotten. Those in charge of Glacier Park have seen to it that the cost of visiting and living there is not excessive, and I would like to send you some of our illustrated booklets which tell you all about it, and about the cost of going there and seeing all there is to see. If you will send me your address, T will gladly send you copies fren of charge, and answer any questions about U)e Park that you may wish to ask. Wm. Austin, General Agent Passen ger Depts., C.
