WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNK 3 ONI/V QUESTION OF MAJORITY THERE exists among the Repub lican district leaders here to-day for the meeting of the State committee a degree of confi dence in party success at the polls next Fall such as has not been mani fest for a decade. In the opinion of every one of them It is all a question of how big the majority will be. This is not the over-confidence or false optimism. In every quarter of the State the candidates nominated at the May primaries made wonderful runs. 3n many cases they polled twice and three times as many votes as the combined vote of the Democratic can didates, although there was every at tempt to get out the Democratic vote hy the opposing candidates and little effort put forth by the Republicans. ' The splendid showing of Senator Penrose and Dr. Brumbaugh are etraws in the wind. Their vote in the country districts was quite as remark able as that In the cities, where the Penrose strength especially was sup posed to lie. The Democratic nomi nees are candidates of a faction and the primary fight has put them into hopeless plight. Then, too, they fear the stamp of President Wilson and as the "White House twins" they will not cut a very large figure in a State where the people realize that the hard times they are now suffering are di rectly traceable to the meddling and the blundering of the Wilson Adminis tration. There are those who pretend to see In Colonel Roosevelt a grave factor In the political situation in Pennsyl vania next Fall, t>ut Roosevelt plead ing for votes for Roosevelt and Roose velt asking Pennsylvania to support Plnehot, the "occasional visitor," and Lewis, as great a theorist as President Wilson himself and about as efficient in practical government, are not the same. Nobody denies that Roosevelt as a candidate for President could at this time cause considerable stir in this State, but there is no indication that the voters are going to get very much excited over him in the contest 'now pending. The most that he can do will be to make the campaign a ilittle hotter and possibly cut a little ►into the Republican majority. The whole future of Republicanism !5n Pennsylvania is rosy w'th hope and ■the best sign of the times Is the universal optimism of the district leaders and State committeemen —the men who come Into every day touch •with the mass of the voters, who know •what the trend of sentiment is far in advance of any election and who one and all now predict an old-fashioned Republican victory in November. Arthur Ingersoll Hoe asserts in a court trial that a young woman who has sued him for breach of promise Beared him into big gifts of money. He declared, however, that the costly friendship was marked by strict propriety, and in timates that he was a good Samaritan. This seems to be another of those psychological affairs. GREAT PAVING WORK v THE action of Steelton council the other evening, asking the State Highway Department for aid in paving the road between Steelton and Highspire, will result in a continuously paved street from Highspire to Rockville, a distance of more than eleven miles. When the condition of the River Road and the highway between Har risburg and Mlddletown a few years ago is considered, this Is indeed a re markable achievement. Harrisburg pet the pace in tho fnatter of good dtreets and Steelton was not slow to follow. The result is that while Har risburg has more streets paved than any .other city of its size in the coun try, having now a yardage of con siderably over a million, Steelton is Ithe best paved borough in the United ;Btates. Like Harrisburg, it is anxious for more and will not be content rAintli It ha* been connected by paved (thoroughfares with every other near ly town with which It does business. Penbrook's council also has taken a step in the direction of betten streets ,by -asking for State aid in the im i provement of the main street through r ..

TvWV . ■ T--'Y» w? w^ WEDNESDAY EVENING HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH JUNE 3,1914 that town. The granting of this peti tion will make possible another con necting link in the chain of good high ways about the city. The remarkable sentiment for pav ed streets that at present exists in Harrisburg has resulted in the use of every penny available for the paving of intersections and the big program of street work has been held up on that account. It may be possible that a paving loan will have to be asked next Fall in order to gratify the con stant demands that cannot now be met. THE ROTARY CLUB THE Harrisburg Rotary Club, which last evening closed the third year of a very successful career, occupies a useful place 1 in the life of the city. .Made up of many of the "live wires" of the busi ness community and bringing to gether every two weeks men who otherwise might never learn to know each other, it makes for better and harmonious trade conditions In Har risbuix. The club has a higher Ideal than that of mere sociability, how ever, and it is apparently trying as best it knows to live up to its motto— which, by the way, is the new «.nd prevailing idea in modern business— "He profits most who serves best." The organization, under the direc tion of President John S. Musser, with the assistance of Secretary Howard C. Fry, has had a remarkably pros perous year and the election of Wil liam S. Essick to head the club dur ing the coming twelve months assures its conduct along dignified and pro gressive lines. The club has stepped out of its ordinary activities to take up several tax reforms advocated by City So licitor Daniel S. Seitz, of Harrisburg, and the solicitors of the other third class cities of Pennsylvania and has other matters of public importance under consideration, one of them the publication, at an expense of some $1,200, of a Harrisburg number of The Kotarian, a magazine with an international circulation and which goes into the hands of live business men the world over. Kooseveit's declaration that the pinch of poverty is felt In many a household and that "we cannot ignore the condi tions which have brought about this state of things," and his further state ment that "the (<oßt of living has not been reduced," have caused consterna tion in the camp of the psychological theorists at Washington. Those thou sands of working men who insisted two years ago upon a change, and who were induced, to believe that the Democratic party would reduce the high cost of liv ing,' are going to bring about another change in November which will rele gate the theorists who are now mis managing the Government to places where they will do less harm to the welfare of the country. A QUESTION OF DIVISION THAT Is a frank and truthful statement which the esteemed Philadelphia Record makes with respect to the Democratic party when it says that the party which it represents is in Pennsylvania a mi nority party. "Its only hope of suc cess this year," says the Record, "lies in the division of the Republican voters and there will be little to this hope if there shall be a continuation of the recent factional difficulties among the Democratic voters of the State." That is the whole story. Unless there shall be a division in the Re publican vote at the November' elec tion, Palmer and McCormick, the White House twins, will have no hope whatever. And scores of thoughtful Democrats are going to act at the psychological moment next November when they will vote the Republican ticket and end the clairvoyancy of the Wilson administration. During consideration of the pro posed change in our municipal govern ment the people of Harrisburg were told which much unction how western cities that had adopted the commission form were waxing prosperous and giv ing the older and effete cities of the east cards and spades in every form of betterment. One after another the roses are fading. The town of Pueblo, in Colorado, has just issued a call for an election on June 30 to try to over throw the commission form of govern ment and return to the old system. What this country needs more than anything else Just now is a surcease of experiment and a deluge of common sense in all our governmental activi ties. SCRANTON'S VISION SCRANTON has raised one million dollars to capitalize what is to be known as the Scranton Industrial Development Company. This fund is to be used in attracting new indus tries and aiding old ones. It is just as important to encourage the industries we have as to bring others here, but it ought to be the business of every public-spirited citi zen of Harrisburg to do everything wtihln his power to increase the legiti mate industrial and commercial activl. ties of this community. The Scranton Times, discussing the new industrial movement in that city, says "whatever benefits the city of Scranton benefits every citizen." That is an absolutely sound proposition and Harrisburg has been moving along those lines for several years. No city can be improved without improving the condition of every person living in it. Let us hope that no psychological obstacle will prevent the erection of the union freight station this year. Harrisburg business men have waited long and patiently for proper freight facilities and even psychology should not further delay this Important pro ject. Wilkes-Barre also liaß a city planning, commission and goes Harrisburg one better with an art Jury. What this city needs more than an art Jury Is some authority that will prevent a lot of tree butchers destroying the fine shade trees that are disappearing in many sections of the city under the saw and axe of Individuals who whack down everything In sight upon the theory that they know what they are about. Worst of all, they are paid for .doluff It. FEVENiNG CHAD Dr. Joseph Kalbfus, secretary of the State Game Commission, says that it is the intention to fight the case in behalf of the federal regulations against killing migratory birds to the highest courts. "The decision of a southern Judge that the federal regu lations do not stand will be contested in the highest courts," said he. "X understand that people who are inter ested in saving our birds are going to appeal the case. This law will mean much in years to come. Here in Penn sylvania it works a hardship upon many people who like to go duck hunting, but they will be repaid in years to come when the wild fowl get a chance to multiply. At first there was a good bit of objection voiced to the action of Uncle Sam in stepping in and setting aside our laws, but the gunners of Pennsylvania have seen what it means and have accepted. It is very much to their credit that the sportsmen have not only obeyed the law. but aided in every way its en forcement." Speaking of game, it is probable that the next Legislature will be asked to repeal the law which made a closed season on wild turkeys for two years. This law was passed last year and signed because there were districts in which the famous game bird, the one that gives a sportsman a run for his money every iime, was in danger of being wiped out. The birds seem to know that they are protected now and there are many to be found in the central counties. In some districts In Perry, Fulton and other counties the gobblers are audaciously tame. "I'm rather surprised at the number of people who visit the State Capitol these days, especially the people from the country districts," said one of the veteran officers at the Capitol yester day. '"You see, in many counties the farmers are away behind fn their work, due to the late season, and some have their families in the fields and orchards helping with the cultivating. Yet. It seems as though Just as many country people as ever come here day after day. I have noticed a number of the good old county Men noniteffhere. So I guess that farming Is doing pretty well after all." "How's the crop of brides and grooms?" "About five pairs a day. But that wilt increase soon," was the answer. "I think Erie is a great town for a convention. 1 have attended many gatherings of the Templars in Penn sylvania, but I do not know when I enjoyed my stay as much in anv place as 1 did in Erie," said the Rev. Dr. M. D. Lichleiter. eminent commander of Pilgrim Commanders'. Among visitors to the fcity to-dav was Senator James A. Miller, of New Tripoli, Lehigh county. The senator is a Democrat and was renominated after a battle in his countv. He says frankly that judicious publicity did it. Incidentally, it saved many another man during the primary battle. (feorge Stuart Patterson, here yes terday as counsel for the Pennsylvania Railroad, is a son of C. Stuart Patter son, for many years the head of the legal department of the road. Mr. Patterson has handled most, of the Pennsylvania's interests before the Public Service Commission since the commission came into being. A good story is going the rounds about the manner in which the crate containing the performing dogs which held forth at Paxtang Park last week was smashed. The crate, containing five highly trained, almost intelligent, highly valued, dogs, was on the. front end of a trolley gar and was jolted off on the Incline in the Paxtang subway. Another car came along just then and bumped it back against the first car. It was banged a few more times and then went to pieces. About that time the owner of the dogs had frantically climbed from the car and hurried around the end, expecting to see his pets ground into mincemeat. Instead the dogs made a bee-line for him and began to jump up to show their joy. There was not a scratch on them. Two little cycle cars from Illinois came into town the other evening after a no-stop run from Chambersburg to the West Shore, where they were com pelled to shut down their engines for a half-minute and thereby spoiled what would otherwise have been a splendid record. They hailed from a suburb of Chicago and contained four young men who are taking a two months' vacation in the little cars and who will go up through New York, New England and a part of Canada before returning home. I WELL KNOWN PEOPLE 1 —Edward M. Young, the Allentown banker, won a prize with his four black stallions in the work horse pa rade in his city. —The Rev. George Tnnes, cf Phila delphia, has been made secretary of the United Presbyterian committee's university fund. —Jud£o W. C. Ryan, of Bucks county, well-known here, refused the licenses of four hotels against which remonstrances had been filed. —George C. Brooke, the Philadel phia athlete, has returned from Cali fornia. —Edward 1... Cochrane, of Chester, has taken second honors at Anna polis. —Councilman G. A. Dillinger, of Pittsburgh, has been appointed an assistant surgeon of the National Guard. POLITICAL SIDEUGRTsn —The United Democracy does not appear to be around. —Democratic candidates had r fine time exhibiting themselves to-day. —The figures indicate that the ma chine did not have it all its own way. —Fred T. McDonald was re-elected chairman of Chester Republicans. —Palmer and Morris are impressive when sitting as a patronage court. —Trouble began as soon as "Billy" Brennan arrived among the Demo crats. « —To-morrow the Bull Moosers will have an era of speechmaking. —For a man who has dropped pat ronage problems Palmer seems to be pretty busy with them. LINDSEY AND THE RECALL [From the New York Sun.] For once the recall seems to have a legitimate occasion. There is a move ment on foot headed by the Law and Order League, of Denver, to apply it to Judge Ben B. Lindsey, who is keeping in tne very center of the limelglht with the help of the Colorado mine troubles. As the attempt to punish the Judge has no reference to any judicial act, but rather to an abuse of the judicial dignity and a violation of judicial obli gation by arraying himself on the side of illegality and disorder, even those who are opposed to the recall on prin ciple can regard this Instance with equanimity as a sort of poetic justice: the demagogic idea turned on the dema gogue.

OFFICIAL COUNT BEING HELD UP Three Counties' Figures Had Not Been Received in Time For State Committees Today PALMER HOLDING COURT Hears Pleas For Appointments From State Committeemen; j Congressional Figures As in 1913, the official count of the votes cast at the primary is not avail able when the State committees meet because of failure of counties to com plete their counts on time. The re turns'of three counties were still miss, ng when the ligues were totaled at the Capitol this morning and while Philadelphia, Allegheny and Luzerne may have their papers on ille by to night the results are already estab lished. With the three largest counties to hear from the results appear to be about as follows: Senator—Penrose. 95,179; Dimmick, 66,166; Palmer, 98,1 96; Budd, 46,987. Governor Brumbaugh, 113,357; McCormick, 94,322; Ryan, 59,209. Supreme Court lJunkel, 71,166; Endlich, 63,527; Frazer, 51,540. Superior Court Trexler, 123,729; Clark, 65,787; Fuller, 43,734; Prather, 37,790. Patronage intruded on the peace of the Democratic State bosses almost as local option last evening and Congress man Palmer and State Chairman Morris werg Job Hunting; busy hearing pleas for Dig Thins: appointments. Many of During Eve the men who came here for to-day's meet ings did not come to hear the speeches of the candidates, but to see about their chances for post offices and other spoils of office in return for what they did last month. Western Pennsylvania committeemen got Palmer and Morris into a room and made eloquent speeches in behalf of W. H. S. Thomson, of Pittsburgh, for United States judge. Palmer said he was impressed. While this was going on Eugene C. Bonniwell was holding down the fort in the Bolton and defying the State machine. The plan of the Democratic State bosses is to not only retain the plan of having nine division chairmen, but to go it a few better. Like a good many other things which tho New District present bosses used to Plan Will denounce in the days Ise Ordered oi me (iuffey control, they have found the division plan to be a good one. How ever, in order to take away any ap pearance of retaining any of the old machinery and probably to make it run a bit more smoothly the committee will to-day be informed by State Chair man Morris that there will be eleven or thirteen districts created. It is said that Philadelphia will demand one of the divisions. The Dauphin division, over which Candidate McCormick pre sides, will probably be little changed, as the Little Boss wants to have things all his own way. One of the most Interesting of the campaign expense accounts filed at the Capitol was that of the Cumber land county Palmer- McCormick committee, j Cumberland This committee was run Interesting by Fred S. Mumma, as as Always treasurer. Mumma is a devoted follower of the Little Boss and after get ting S3OO from the convenient Robert Toland, treasurer of the State com mittee of the Palmer-McCormick ma chine, he passed the hat among friends and neighbors, including Doc Dough erty, and got S3BO more. The com mittee spent $684. It collected S6BO. People are wondering if the Cumber land bud had to bear the extra $4 or whether the Little Boss sent a check for the difference. The figures of the Democratic pri mary on Congress-at-large have been estimated at the Democratic State windmill and by adding in the unofficial returns from Philadelphia, Alle- Democratic gheny and Luzerne there Nominees is a pretty fair estimate Estimated of results in hand. It ■shows that the four win ners were Clark, with 81,785; Bright, 74,313; Caton, 66,593; Crosby, 65,617. Clark and Crosby are said to be men who were with the Ryan faction. The vote of the other candidates is given as follows; Myers, 59,774; Crilly, 49,433; Shull, 51,797; Powers, 36,425; Seibert, 41,396; Shirly, 39,688; Taylor, 38,848. Including McNair, who llckea the machine's candidate for Secretary of Internal Affairs, the anti-machine faction has three candidates of the seven nominated. Harrisburg people and many who have taken an interest in politics in the last # decade will look with atten tion on developments in the Blair county Repub- Hlair's lican affairs this year as Workers J. Lee Plummer, former on Job member of the House from Blair, has been elected county chairman. Mr. Plummer was selected without a disserfting vote to lead the county committee and has started an aggres sive campaign in the mountain coun ty. The committee meeting was a big event among the Blair Republicans. Commissioner James Foust and other prominent men made addresses. The election of Plymouth W. Snyder, of Hollidaysburg, as senator is declared to be sure. A pretty fair indication of the way the voters of the State went to the primary is furnished by the result of the vote in Allegheny county, which has just been counted. At the Allegheny recent primary elec- Primary an tion 113,871, or only Indication about 40. per cent, of the registered voters, participated. There are 197,867 reg istered voters. Of this number 164.- 384 are enrolled as to parties and 33,- 473 are not enrolled. The highest number of votes cast was for judge of the Supreme Court, the total in the county being 83,986. The eight par ties participating in the primaries polled a total vote of only 80,347. The Democrats polled a larger percentage of their enrolled vote than any other Party. The Democratic enrollment for the county is 18,861. The Remocratic vote at the primary was .10,181, leav ing 8,680 who did not go to the polls. The Republican enrolled vote is 126,771. Their highest vote cast was for United States Senator, the total being 66 - 614. Of the 10,642 enrolled Washing ton party electors, only 5,083 partici pated in the primary. The Socialist enrolled vote Is 7,035 and the highest vote cast by their party was 2,059. AN EVENING THOUGHT We must all be content to re main ignorant ot muny things. David Starr Jordan.

INVITES PHII.OSOPHY [From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.] The appeal of President Wilson to psychology recalls the remark that philosophy Is the last resort of those in trouble. When everything is as we wish, with disease held at bay and death hidden by dim distance; with Fortune bountiful and our environment to our liking, wo rarely philosophize. It is when disaster dogs our best efforts and the irony of uninvited de feat eats into our souls that we cast about for some intangible and inscrut able cause of our miserable estate. Success never needs to be ex plained; victory needs no elucidating or extenuating commentary. If the measures of the Democratic Adminis tration had set every wheel turning in every mill, every chimney belching on every factory, every builder busy in every community, our scholarly Presi dent might have allowed psychology to have hobnobbed In peace with astrology and necromancy. «HOLD FAST YOUR PURSE STRINGS When you're clothes buying let economy rule, not false but careful economy economy that is as averse to paying too little as it is to paying too much that demands in every event a full return for every dollar invested.

LEGISLATION AGAINST TIPPING [From the Lebanon lieport.] The Canadian Parliament is passing a bill imposing a fine of SIOO for giving or receiving a tip, or permitting an j employe to receive one. If this law ! works well, there will be a move to [ place it on the statute books of our | States. The Canadians are more tract- I able and phlegmatic, and take more kindly to State regulation than do our people. But our tipping system causes intense Irritation, and is a heavy tax on salesmen and others whose business requires constant travel. An unenforced law is not merely dead wood, but it tends to make a joke of all law. It will not be the least use to enact statutes against tipping unless the American people really mean to end the prac tice.

The public also is beginning to get somewhat "peevish" over the incident and the whole Mexi can situation, and the continual watch ing and waiting, and backing and fill ing, on the part of the Administration is getting on the national nerves and threatens an outburst which may eomo as a result of some minor incident. GIVE THE VOTERS A CHANCE 1 From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.] The President is right. There is noth ing more dangerous for business than uncertainty. Even annihilation, if cer tain, is sometimes preferable. "But," the President says, "the conscience of the country must be satisfied." Can it be that he has mistaken a spirit of vengeance for conscience? Thero ' is more of the former than the latter in Uie bills now before Congress. Business needs a rest. It has been goaded and buffeted about until it Is as timid as a rabbit. If the President thinks radicalism is growing and that this legislation is requisite to ward it off, let him postpone action until the next session and observe how his be lief will be vetoed by the people in November. f \ ■IAMUARTEIU roa 1 SHIRTS SIDES & SIDES
