THE LATEST PROFUNDITY
OL'R philosophical President con
tinues to propound his psy
chological profundities.
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

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.

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.

Wilson; Returns and Ex

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

taken that the issues will

platform which will em

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

Angus McSween, the Washington
correspondent of the Philadelphia
North American, in a dispatch to that
newspaper says:
"All Washington Is laughing at
President Wilson, and the laughter Is
Indicative more of derision and ridi
cule than of cheerful mirth.
"The President's participation in the
Memorial Day exercises of the Grand
Army after declining positively to be
present, and then accepting when he
had learned of the possible political
effect of his declination, is regarded
here as one of the most absurd rever
sals that the President has yet com
mitted.
"In general opinion the absurdity is
increased by the effort upon the part
of the President's representatives to
make It apjjear that he changed his
mind before he learned that Speaker
Champ Clark had accepted the invl-

Everybody Sober
Local matters are extremely dull.
All of our citizens were sober yesterday

Battery Practice.
Quite a stir was created among our
citizens last evening, by the firing of
cannon at Fort Washington. There was
a general running to and fro, all in
quiring the cause, and many supposing
that Richmond had been capturod. The
battery in the front was engaged in
target practice. The target was erected
on one of the islands in the river.

tatlon he himself had declined and
would be the Memorial Day orator.
"Only one construction is placfed
upon the President's action here. It
is that lie decided to go to Arlington
only after he had been told that his
absence would have a bad political ef
fect, and after he had learned that
Speaker Clark had seized upon the
opportunity presented and was dis
posed to make the most of it.
"The old soldiers say that the Presi
dent mado his Arlington speech not
for them, but for his own purposes.
The bitterness and adverse criticism
the President aroused is to be kept
alive by the fight' started against the
removal of old soldiers from places
held by them under the government.
A mass meeting is to be held to-mor
row night to take action respecting
recent removals of veterans from the
city post office by the new Democratic
postmaster at Washington."
Switzerland in America
Glacier National Park
Glacier Xational Park Is In North
western Montana. It Is the most talk
ed about region in the country to-day.
It seems to be the one place most de
sired by Summer Tourists who delight
in the outdoor life.
It's a curious thing how one can bo
Induced to visit Switzerland, beautiful
as it in, before exploring the wonders
of Glacier National Park, and particu
larly is this so as that luxurious train
the "Oriental Limited" takes one
through from Chicago to the Glacier
Park without change.
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.
