REMOVING HIGHWAY EMBARGO
N the decision of the Dauphin
1 County Court handed down yester
day more than $1,000,000 is made
immediately available for the re
construction of the highways of the
Commonwealth. This fund has been
accumulating from auto licenses and
registration fees since the beginning
of the controversy between the fiscal
officers of the State and the legal de- ]
partment over the act of 1913 setting
apart this fund for the maintenance;
of highways. Auditor General Powell
contended that the act was not con
stitutional and refused to sign vouch
ers. All requisitions of the Highway
Department were ignored. Under
Judge McCarrell's decision the Audi
tor General and State Treasurer are
required to honor these bills, Judge
Henry, of Lebanon, who sat with
Judge MeCarrell in the case, having
concurred in the opinion.
This decision has been awaited for
some time and, pending a judicial
determination of the questions in
volved, highway operations In the
State were practically suspended ow
ing to lack of funds. It has been held
by Auditor General Powell that there
was no specific appropriation of the
funds in question, but Judge MeCar
rell takes a different view and High
way Commissioner Blgelow now hopes
that there will be no further litigation,
so that the work of road-building may
go on with energy. Should there be
an appeal on the part of the Auditor
General, it is the expectation that the
case will be advanced and a prompt
decision urged by the higher court.
Whatever the legal questions in
volved there can be no doubt that the
Legislature intended the funds derived
from auto licenses and registration
fees to go for the maintenance of the
highways. Highway Commissioner
Bigelow has been greatly embarrassed
In hi 6 program by the tie-up of funds. I
About this time of year most of us
begin to believe that stories of the hard
life of the school teacher are consider
ably overdrawn.
MEDDLING WITH BUSINESS
TWO members of President Wil
son's Cabinet have come in for
severe criticism during the last
few days. One of these is Sec
reatry of the Navy Daniels and the
other Secretary of Commerce Redfield.
Both appear to have little knowledge
of the fundamental problems which
confront the Wilson Administration,
and their disposition to meddle with
the business of the people has aroused
deep resentment. The proposal of
Secretary Daniels that the government
engage in the manufacture of armor
plate is characterized by a distin
guished citizen as "utterly Indefensi
ble." He says:
It is all the more remarkable that
such a proposition should be father
ed by a Democratic administration,
for the highly technical processes
of steel manufacture and armor
plate making: are about as far re
moved from the legitimate func
tions of government, as they were
conceived by the fathers of the
Democratic party, as could well be
imagined.
This critic of the Wilson Adminis
tration is a Democrat who "is highly
disgusted with the incompetency and
disregard of Democratic doctrine by
the people who are now usurping the
name of the party."
Secretary Redfield, In a speech at
the University of North Carolina, de
fending President Wilson's policies,
domestic and foreign, talked glibly of
"quick conscience and sincere patriot-
Ism" and declared that "our public
atmosphere is full of yelps and howls
of little thinkers." There is a strong
suspicion that he must have been
thinking of himself and his associates
when he made this criticism, especially
when he added that "we have an al
most hysterical devotion to the ephem
eral ; the yarn of to-day flnds lodgment
In our thoughts only to be displaced
by the rumor of to-morrow."
There was a lot more along the
same lines, all excusing and defend
ing the Wilson propaganda, and con
cluding with an apoplectic declaration
that "our America of to-day sees with
a larger and firmer vision," lntimat-
TUESDAY EVENING, . HARRISBURG (SS& TELEGRAPH JUNE 9, 1914.
ing that thia vision was one of peace
and that the prosperity which should
follow was to be prosperity for our
selves and our neighbors and for
"those with whom we would deal
throughout the whole wide world."
That seems to be the idea of the en
tire combination at Washington—to
take care of the whole wide world at
the"expense of the people of the United
States. To-day's dispatches show that
the Imports have increased over $34,-
000,000 In the ten months ending April
30, as compared with the previous ten
month period, and that for the same
period the exports decreased almost
$60,000,000. These figures and the
increasing value of manufactured
goods Imported into this country tell
their own story of the operation of
the Democratic tariff as compared
with the Payne tariff law.
For the first time in years this coun
try witnesses an excess of imports
over exports in the April period. In
short, the Democratic Administration,
through its tariff legislation, has crip
pled many American industries by the
influx of foreign manufactured goods,
and the thousands of idle employes in
this country will doubtless read with
interest the results of the change of
the tariff system—free trade as against
Republican protection.
But the end is not far away. Busi
nessmen and workingmen all realize
the mistake of 1912 and the campaign
of 1914 is not going to be so much a
campaign of Republicans against Dem
ocrats or Progressives as it Is bound to
be an anti-Democratic campaign.
What is transpiring in Pennsylvania is
happening all over the country. Em
ployers and employes alike are only
waiting the day when they can ex
press their sentiments at the polls.
■Whatever further damage the Wilson
Administration can do had better be
done quickly. Unless all signs fail,
the next House at Washington will be
controlled by the Republicans.
Don't mortgage your next winter's
i income for the sake of a vacation.
Better do your sweating now.
CLEANING AND KEEPING CLEAN
LESS than six months have ex
pired since the Telegraph called
the attention of the authorities
to the fact that the quarterly
reports of constables to the county
courts did not contain mention of dis
orderly houses which the officers, if
they were discharging their duties,
must know existed throughout Har
risburg.
esterday Colonel Hutchison pre
sented a report to the court setting
forth that there is but one such place
in the city, and he had not been able
to gather sufficient evidence to con
vict in court or it, too. would have
been put out of business.
Chief of Police Hutchison has dem
onstrated that he meant just " what he
said when he told the Telegraph that
he not only would close every disor
derly place in Harrisburg but that he
intended to keep them closed.
There is a difference between
cleaning up a city and keeping it
clean, it is comparatively easy for a
police department to shut up these
Places temporarily. It is not hard to
make a great show of reform. Spora
dic cleaning up has been In vogue in
many cities for years. But it is
difficult, indeed, to close these dens of
infamy and keep them closed. This
can be accomplished only at the ex
pense of constant vigilance. Evident
ly Colonel Hutchison has his eyes open
and does not mean to permit a re
newal of the old disgraceful condi
tions.

PENNIPACKER AND THE STATE
SAMUEL WHITAKER PENNY,
PACKER has given the State a
most important contribution in
the shape of a condensed history
under the general title "Pennsylvania—
The Keystone." Probably no man in
the entire Commonwealth is so
qualified for such a work as the for
mer Governor. His untiring research
into the important beginnings of Penn
sylvania's development, his analytical
mind, his loyalty to everything that
pertains to his native State, his cour
age in defending the Commonwealth
against many unfair historians of the
United States, and the fact that he
loves to delve into the doings of the
earlier period of Pennsylvania have
given him special qualifications for his
undertaking and the result is emi
nently satisfactory.
Those who have heard the former
Governor in his historical addresses
must have been impressed with his in
timate knowledge of the history of the
State and will now feel grateful to
him for putting in enduring form his
conclusions and the results of his
painstaking investigation of the facts.
Every school library, every public
library and every other library—public
or private—should have at least one
copy of this work upon its shelves.
The old oaken bucket is the only
moss-covered object that occupies a
plaqe of honor In our literature. His
tory loves action.
DIMMICK AND THE PRIMARY
THE story comes out of Philadel
phia that J. Benjamin Dimmick,
who was a Republican candidate
for United States Senator in the
recent primary campaign, will support
the Progressive nominee for United
States Senator. We hesitate to believe
this of a man who was represented
throughout the canvass as one who had
honorably submitted his candidacy to
the people and who persistently de
clared that the Republican party was
the political body best qualified to
bring about the reforms which the
people demand.
Unless Mr. Dimmick intended to
abide by the decision of the primary
he should not have been a candidate,
and any move at this time to align
himself with another party will be
convincing proof of the fact that he
was less concerned about the prin
ciples of the Republican party than
about his own personal ambition.
1 EVENING CHAT 1
Enlistment of two men who were
sergeants in the regular army at the
headquarters of the State Police a few
days ago calls attention to the fuct
that practically every man taken into
the constabulary in the last few years
has been a veteran of the army, navy
or marine services, and those who have
not such records were able to show
service in the National Guard. As a
matter of fact, the Pennsylvania State
Police has a reputation the country
over and army officers say that It has
been able to get the best there is, of
fering, as it does, chances for strenu
ous duty, which a man might have to
wait for ten years to meet while In the
service of Uncle Sam. The last Legis
lature very wisely provided for terms
of enlistment, because so high had
the rating of Pennsylvania policemen
become that railroads and industrial
corporations were taking away the
men within a year after they became
troopers. They were able to olfer them
twice the pay they received In the
State service. The roster of one of the
troops shows men who have seen ser
vice in Cuba, Alaska, the Philippines,
the canal zone and in Insular posses
sions, while there are men who have
served from Portland to Portland in
the army and sailed In the cruise of
the battleships around the world. Men
who leave the State Police can go into
almost any service where discipline
and physical condition are the first re
quirements.
State Librarian Thomas Lynch
Montgomery is keeping a sharp eye on
the sale of Quaker manuscripts to be
sold in London, and wishing that the
Legislature would make an appropria
tion so that more of the Penn memo
rabila might be added to the Common
wealth's collection on Capitol Hill.
The collection to be sold includes a
diary or record of doings among the
Friends kept by Rebekah Butterlleld,
of Berkshire, England. It is noted
that on "12th month, 7th, 1671," Penn
and Guillema Maria Springet "pro
posed their Intention of marriage at
ye monthly meeting at Hunger Hill."
Then follows notes of their marriage
and of various family events, lncludtng
the death of Mrs. Penn and the second
marriage. Then comes this entry dated
•1718; 5-30:" "Our Friend, William
Penn, departed at Rushcorn in Berk
shire in ye 74th year of his age and
was burled at Jordans ye sth of ye 6th
mo. ye 3d day of ve week: there was
20 or 30 publick friends and a vast
number of Friends and others. He
was often at meetings in his lifetime
and often lodged at Stone Dean."
Filling up the list of veterans to bear
the battleflags In next Monday's cere
monies on Capitol Hill is nothing like
the easy matter that it seems. For
weeks the committee in charge had
troubles of its own to select the men.
Now. when the list is made up, there
are dally changes due to inability of
men to get here, some of the men
designated being too old to make defi
nite engagements and some not being
in good health. The chances are that
there will be many changes in the list
when the flag-bearers are called next
Monday.
The retirement of James Russ from
the Senate will leave but two mem
bers of the famous family of hotelmen
in the business in the city—John Russ
and Maurice Russ. It is doubtful if
there is a family in the hotel business
in Pennsylvania so widely known as
the Russ, and to many men who come
here this means a lot. John Russ is a
brother of James Russ and a son of
the original "Poppy" Russ.
Some literature on the value of
walking, the joy to be had in long
tramps across the country and suffi
cient funds to purchase books on out
doors for children have been donated
to the new Public Library by the Har
risburg Walking Club, composed of a
number of well known people. The
donations have been placed where they
will be of value and the works for
children are being bought.
Charles Breyer, of Pottstown, who
has been selected by men of the
Ninetieth Regiment to carry its flag in
the ceremonies here next Monday, is
well known to a number of Harrisburg
veterans. He went through four years'
service in the Civil War and was seven
times wounded.
Among visitors to the city to-day
was J. B. Eiclienauer. former assist
ant city solicitor of Pittsburgh and a
member of the committee which
drafted the Republican State platform
in 1912. He was one of the attorneys
for Auditor General Powell In the re
cent automobile license money liti
gation.

According to present plans, the Re
publican county committee will meet
at the Republican headquarters on
June 20. The call will be issued in a
few days and will summon the new
committeemen to the work of prepa
ration for the fall campaign.
County Chairman William H. Hor
ner will be re-elected without oppo
sition, his work being appreciated by
Republicans throughout the county
and there being need of his organizing
ability this year because of the exten
sive and expensive preparations being
made by the Democrats.
Herr Moesleln Is hatching a call for
the Democratic county committee and
IS hoping for a time when there will
be no bickering over federal jobs.
State Chairman William E. Crow
will likely name the committee to
draft -the Republican State platform
late In the week. The
chairman had expected
to be in Philadelphia Committees
to-night, but will likely Are Making
not get there until Fri- Ready Now
day. The committee will
be asked to meet with
the candidates and chairman very
promptly. As indicated some time
ago, there is a disposition to declare
for State-wide prohibition, but that
will be settled largely by the candi
dates. The platform which caused
a big disturbance because the Demo
cratic bosses would not allow the State
committee of the party of the new
freedom to vote on it is being printed
and will be sent out from the State
windmill in bales that cannot be mis
taken for campaign funds. The Wash
ington party State committee will print
its platform later in the fall after the
rank and file have a chance to come
up with the funds for the campaign.
Judging from reports received here
to-day, the Ryan men elected all but
ten of the seventy-one members of the
Philadelphia Demo- ,
cratic city committee
at the ward elections Reorganize™
last night and the ma- Thrashed in
chine men went down Quaker City
wherever there was a
contest. Even Michael
Francis Doyle, one of the tambourine
men of the reorganization band, was
beaten. Doyle got 9 votes to 5 4 for
the other fellow. In some of the
wards they did not endorse the State
ticket and the platform was left re
ligiously alone in most cases. In
Ryan's home ward the ticket was
given endorsement and that's all. The
result of the meetings will probably
revive talk about the State committee,
controlled by the machine, deciding to
throw out the Ryan men because they
are not representatives of the people,
etc. Probably the same thing will be
done about the Northampton county
committee, which passed up the State
ticket and the platform for the first
time in fifty years. Verily, these are
the days of a united Democracy.
The machine-controlled Democratic
county committee of Lancaster last
night summoned up the nerve to make
an attack on the nonpar
tisan judicial law. There

the Lancaster men have
been the first to come out
into the open. The Democrats openly
violated the spirit of the law in the
late campaign in boosting Endlich, the
McCormick newspaper being a con
spicuous example. In Lancaster yes
terday the Democratic county com
mittee condemned the law for the
amazing reason that the "minority
party" is not given representation on
the bench. Just how that comports
with the nonpartisan assertions of the
bosses is not understood. Ben Davis,
the Palmer-McCormiek boss, ran his
machine over his opponents, being
re-elected chairman by 73 to 49.

in some other counties they are re
ported to have fareti equally well. In
this city and county the economy plan
was tried and $5 was the rate for a
"watcher." One thing Is certain and
that is that there will be many men
able and willing to serve as "watchers"
next November, but they are not going
to stand for any discrimination.

the interesting topics these days.
—The Lancaster Democrats continue

—Oh, wait until the Palmer-McCor

NO DISCUSSION NEEDED
[From the rfew York Sun.]
Senator Brandegee seems to miss the
point in his statement regarding the
trade commission bill recently whisked
through the House of Representatives
and now before the Senate. He says:
"I do not think a worn and exasper
ated Congress, which has been In con
tinuous session for more than a year,
should be forced to enter upon the dis
cussion of all these intricate and con
troverted questions in midsummer, on
the eve of a nation-wide political cara-
Salgn. Ido not think the agitation and
ebate will tend to restore confidence
to the distracted and drooping business
of the country."
In this far too much is assumed. Th®
Senator talks of a midsummer discus
sion of Intricate and controverted ques
tions. Is any discussion desired? Is
not the Senate expected simply to go
through the form of enacting the
measure as it emanates from the brain
of superior intelligence?
As for restoring confidence, has not
the Senator been told on the highest
authority that there is no need to re
store confidence? Oranges are plenti
ful in Florida.
What business needs is not rest but
regulation. • When the new despotism
is put on the statute books, distraction
and drooping will end. A new phase
,of economic experiment will begin, ,

Flagrant Evils of the
Primary System
(From the Pfiiladelphia Public
Ledger)
From whatever angle viewed, the
State-wide primary proves not only an
utter failure as a corrective of the old
time convention evils, but an aggrava
tion pf those evils. It increases the
power of the machine, offers opportu
nities never before known for the cor
rupt use of money, and monopolizes
public office for those who can com
mand unlimited money or the service
of a political organization.
A more serious aspect is reveaTed,
however, in the recent primary ac
counts. The intent of the law requir
ing the publication of election expenses
is plain, but that it is lamentably fail
ing of its chief object is equally, plain
by a cursory examination of these ac
counts. They not only fail to show
what the law intended they should
show—the entire outlay for political
purposes—but they reveal the ease
with which the purpose of the law
can be evaded. One not a candidate
may spend as much as he pleases to
forward the interests of a candidate,
yet there is no Obligation resting upon
him to file an account. The result is
that thousands of dollars are spent in
this way, and the accounts filed by the
candidates themselves are in many in
stances entirely worthless.
They do show, however, some of the
enormous outlays which the primary
system has imposed upon candidates.
When a candidate for Governor ad
mits an expenditure of $33,000, and
when it is known that much more was
actually spent by some one in his be
half the evil becomes manifest, for
these outlays were for the primary
campaign alone; the nominees have a
still mor'e costly campaign before
them. The net effect of the law, there
fore, is to reduce political activity to
a basis of money, to eliminate alto
gether the independent of moderate
means, and to seal the power of the
machine and the boss.
With these facts before them the
people should imperatively demand
the repeal or radical modification of
the present law. Every candidate for
the Legislature should be pledged to
bring about this needed reform. If it
is not done the honest citizenship of
Pennsylvania might as well abandon
hope of liberating the State from ma
chine control.
THE STATE DEMOCRACY
[From the Pittsburgh-Gazette Times.]
In view of the manner in which the
Democratic administration and its sup
porters at Washington have Ignored
and violated the national platform of
| that party as adopted at Baltimore
negative importance alone attaches to
the State platform promulgated at Har
risburg on Wednesday. The open
avowal of State Chairman Morris that it
i is binding only upon such Democratic
candidates as choose to abide by it sug
gests that it should not be accepted at
face value by any voter who is not gul
lible. In State matters it is thick with
"molasses to catch flies." The pledge
of Increased appropriations for the pub
lic schools comes with poor grace when
we recall that the only Governor of
Pennsylvania elected by the Democrats
since the Civil War pursued a deliber
ately cheesparing policy on that sub
ject. The declaration in favor of a
State pension for Union war veterans
is not worth the paper it is written on
coming from a party that is engaged
in the systematic weeding out of old
soldiers from the Federal service. The
protest against "graveyard" commit
tees in the Legislature is inconsistent
with the party B practice in Congress,
where legislation is put to sleep by a
mere nod of the head from the master
mind in the White House. The objection
to the existing system of making State
appropriations sounds strange from a
party whose representatives have come
up to the trough with importunate
regularity. The pronouncement on
good roads is solemn fudge in light of
Democratic obstructive methods In the
past.
TALK OF EXTRAVAGANCE
[Bristol Courier.]
Vance C. McCormlck, whose state
ment of election expenses confesses to
$33,274 as the cost of making him
"the people's choice" for Governor a*
the Democratic primary, and also
makes mention of a trifling $5,000
contribution from his sister for the
same unselfish and patriotic purpose,
lectured the Republican adminis
tration on its extravagance yesterday.
In one of his typical "rough house"
Bpeeches to the Democratic State com
mittee he outlined his plans for get
ting the state out of the poorhouse

no persons killed as yet.
M'CORMICK'S HORSE SHIES
(From the Philadelphia Press)
Mr. MeCormick has arrayed a num
ber f windmills on his own account,
that might well be worth a gallant
young knight's tilting. Woman suff
rage for example, the initiative and
referendum and the old demon rum.
All of them, as the vaudeville man
agers say, are "issues up to the min
ute."
But McCormick's horse shys at Ju
dicial recall, suggesting an unexpected
timidity or an inherited taint of con
servatism in the blood. If peace and
order and stability are to be imper
iled in two branches of the govern
ment why not in the third.
THE RICH MAN AVD THE POOR
MAN
(From the Public Ledger)
Under the new primary law it is
harder for a poor man to enter the
portals of office than a rich man the
Kingdom of Heaven.
BRIDAL BOUQUETS
The fairest of flowers for June
brides ard here in profusion, as well
as palms, ferns and flowers for deco
rations. Artistic floral arrangement
by our expert decorators to meet the
most simple requirement or the mora
elaborate display. Showers and cor
sage bouquets for weddings or com
mencement. Schmidt, florist, 313
Market street.
Thla la a Sad Fart
{From the Washington Herald.]
Most of us want to spank the man
who marches in a suffraget parade.
