Job Dept. »«• THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 11 DOMESTIC SCIENCE THERE is common sense in the decision of the Steelton school board to Introduce domestic science In the grammar grades of the schools of that borough. As Professor McGinnes, upon whose recommendation the study has been adopted, points out, many Steelton pupils quit school after leaving the grammar grade and It is this class that would receive most help from a domestic science course. It is wise, therefore, to place the instruction where it will do most good. Professor McGinnes is one of the leading edu cators of the State and a man of pro gressive ideas and no doubt the new course will work out to very practical advantage. It is pleasing to note the concord of opinion in this respect between the school authorities and the Steelton Civic Club. The club is heartily in favor oI the introduction of domestfc science, so much so, indeed, that its members generously proposed to raise by contribution the SBOO or more necessary for the first year. The re fusal of the board to accept this offer was not due to the fact that the directors did not appreciate the. tin selfish motives of the club, but be cause they felt that the expense should fall where it belongs, directly on the shoulders of the taxpayers. "GIVE ITS A CHANGE" WITH President Wilson's assur ance that prosperity is a psychological condition and Secretary Bryan's declaration that what we need Is more faith, what hope lies In Washington, especially when almost everything possible is be ing done to still further harass and demoralize the business of the nation. Wage earners know quite well that it is not a mental condition that trou bles the country, but lack of employ ment as a result of Democratic tariff! tinkering and theoretical legislation, j Thousands of working men have awak ened in the last few months to their mistake of 1912 when they thought they needed a change. Next Novem ber they will vote to return to power the Republican party, which has al ways been the party of prosperity, protection and the full dinner pall. An old-time voter, in a criticism of the imitation statesmanship of the present administration at Washington, says "President Wilson made his first monumental blunder the morning after his election when he failed to analyze the vote which carried him as a political accident over the line." This veteran voter declares that the President had no commission to drag business down and that instead of his persistent hostility to legitimate inter ests throughout the country he should have maintained the middle course and assured tranquility in all lines of trade. But so long as the administration is dominated by the Bryans and the Redflelds, there is certain to be a con tinuance of the drastic and radical policies which have characterized the Wilson regime. Only yesterday Sec retary Bryan made an attack upon the United States Senate for its refusal to act with greater rapidity upon legis lation urged upon it by the Wilson administration. He declared the Sen ate was blocking progress and that it was "plutocracy's last stronghold." Of course, Secretary Bryan would have the Senate change its methods of legislation and like the House become a mere machine for the doing of the will of the man in the White House. But the tide is rapidly turning. In stead of the quiescent attitude of the lawmakers at Washington they are now denouncing the continued usur pation of legislative power by the President. Representative Humphreys declared in a speech yesterday that the business of the nation is decreas ing one million an hour while Wood row Wilson remains in the White House. He declared that the Presi dent now admits that the business de pression is widespread, but observed that Vice-President Marshall and Sec retary Redfield still insist that every thing is booming along the same old way. Millions of men are out of work, said Mr. Humphreys, freight cars are idle and tho trade of tho ■ ■- " "1 • • - r '■" —i- THURSDAY EVENING, HAKRISBURG TELEGRAPH JUNE 11, 1914. country has fatten oft about fofrty per cent, since the Democrats came Into power, but he suggested that these facts are merely psychological to the President and the Democratic party, which permits him to do their think ing. He then concluded as follows: We are advised that the only cure is more legislation. We are to lie kept here all this summer to strangle what little business there is left. There is just one consolation. While they are killing business they are destroying themselves. Every day Congress remains in ses sion the business of the country grows less. Business men see their mar kets gone, factories closing, the fires dying out. But they should not complain. Let them read the "New Freedom" or an essay on "free trade" or a lecture on "efficiency." Let them read the "constitution of peace." According to the Demo cratic viewpoint what the country needs is not prosperity, but a cheer ful state of mtnd. The people should take the failh cure. It Is all a question of the psycho logical. We are surely reaping the reward of being directed by an im practical dreamer and theorist, an upllfter, a scholar. This Is the day of triumph for intellectual u*intel llgence. Representative Humphreys has characterized the real situation in pic turesque language and while others may be more considerate of the Presi dent in their statements of conditions, there is no doubt that the speech quoted above covers the conclusions of the average citizen. Yet we have the Palmers and Mc- Cormicks in Pennsylvania meandering up and down the Commonwealth tell ing high school boys and college graduates and occasionally a curious group of idle working men how neces sary it is "to support the President." This is the Alpha and Omega of the situation. We must bow to the in scrutable wisdom of the White House. Even Congress does not think for it self; that is exclusively the function of the President. It is presumptuous for experienced business men to have any view that is contrary to the theories of the administration. "Support the President!" No mat ter about losing your job; that is a mere psychological condition —a state of mind. No matter about the empty dinner pail and the empty stomach. < Secretary Bryan will entertain you j with sermons on faith while Secretary Redfield will convince you that the i mills and factories are humming with 1 industry and that prosperity covers ] the country as the waters cover the , great deep. If the thousands of working men 1 are enjoying their enforced vacation, the farmer will not need to bother , about harvesting his crops because the i purchasing power of the consumer will have been transferred to the . other side of the ocean. j "Give us a change!' was the uni- 1 versal shout in 1912 and "give us a J change!" is the unanimous demand , of 1914. i PRIMARY SCANDAL //» I 1 HE primary election scandal I grows more serious," says the X Philadelphia Public Ledger, which especially calls atten tion t,o the payment of ten dollars a day for a "watcher" at the polls by the Palmer-McCormick committee and $25 a day for a team and carriage to get out the voters, as was the case in Cumberland and elsewhere. It re cites other primary phases and con cludes that these constitute a catalog of crimes Rgainst decency and propriety compared to which the old nominat ing conventions were snug and peaceful harbors. The State-wide primary law requires complete re construction. Other newspapers throughout the State are demanding a return to some thing like decency in the primary, the scandal of the recent preliminary can vass as indicated by expense accounts having aroused tremendous resentment against a primary law which makes it possible for the millionaires and the silk-stocking element of the popula tion to usurp place and power through enormous expenditures of cash. HARRISBURG, SUMMER RESORT YOU who are hurrying prepa rations for summer at the sea side or the mountains will doubtless smile at the sugges tion of Harrisburg as a summer re sort. But in all honesty and with no undue desire to "boost the town" at the expense of truth it may be said that Harrisburg has more advantages for enjoyment during the heated sea son than many places mentioned in the resort catalogues and which draw attendance by the thousands. For instance, we have our golf links, tennis courts and baseball fields in pleasant locations, free use for the taking. We have as beautiful parks and as picturesque a lake as will be found anywhere. We have Reservoir, Spring Creek, Wildwood and Paxtang, to say nothing of the two municipally controlled islands, with their play grounds, swimming places and sum mer camps. We have a gap at Rock ville that rivals in beauty the famous Delaware Water Gap. We have canoeing on the river and I bass and salmon fishing almost at our | doors. The rock bass, the sunfish and the trout lurk in streams within an hour's ride of the city. There is cot tage life aplenty along the Juniata and the Susquehanna. There are pic j turesaue walks and pleasant drives. If you want to test the virtues of Harrisburg as a summer resort take two weeks oft and spend them in the varied amusements that the region affords—and with all the comforts of home. HOW THE TARIFF WORKS AN example of how the tariff works is presented by the fact that now we are selling to Canada a little more than twice as much as we buy from her. whereas under the old tariff we were selling Canada a little more than four times as much as we purchased from her. In other words, for every hundred dollars we spent in Canada, Canada spent four hundred with us. Under the new conditions imposed by the Wilson administration, for every hun dred dollars we spend in Canada, Can ada spends only two hundred with us. It doesn't require an expert mathe matician to figure out who is getting the worst of the bargain. 1 EVENING CHAR Steamship agents in this part of j the State say that although the num- | ber of foreigners who have gone back | to the "old country' to await better ment of business conditions is large, I there are many inquiries being made by others, who say that if things do not brace up their intentions are to go home and remain until winter time. Men who are in charge of construc tion gangs say that they are beset every morning by men who want to go to work, many of whom appear with buckets packed and ready to take up a pick or shovel on notice, while contractors say that they could get enough men to dig cellars for a town without difficulty. And here is one of the surest signs of the times— farmers say that they are having nu merous foreigners apply for work every day. The average foreign la borer does not go to the farm for work until he has exhausted all of the other lines. Most of them come from the fields and they prefer the work on construction gangs to the long hours on the farm. The foreign laborers out of work hereabouts should come in mighty handy wnen the har vest gets under way in the next fort night, provided the farmers need help. The Hogestown Horse and Cattle Show, which will be held in the Big Head Woods next week, goes back to 1905. It was started by the Hogestown Institute and the McCormick Estate Farms and the first show was all held in one afternoon. There was not much doing in the morning and the whole program was crowded Into the space between noon and 6 o'clock. Now a show takes a couple of days. In the first years the prizes were ribbons and they were as eagerly contested for as the more expensive trophies offered these days. Some of the farmers who exhibited their horses and cattle in the first show will make exhibition next week. In fact, in many families the show is the big event of the summer and the picnic time just before the harvest work is started. Men officially connected with the arrangements for the transfer of the battleflags, which will take place next Monday, say that the reason the line of march was made so short was to enable the veterans to participate in the last trooping of the colors. Many of the veterans of the Civil War are well along toward 80 and some are beyond four score years, and if an extended line was made in the hot sun of a mid-June day the results might be disastrous. Every arrangement will be made to take care of the veterans and should any be taken ill State and city police will be at hand to see! that they receive prompt attention. Even with all of the plans made for expe ditious handling of the ceremony, the veterans will be on duty for about four hours. When the returns of the primary election are all in hand there are going to be some funny things shown. The voters displayed even more than the usual regard for the party column and there was scarcely a candidate for a State office who did not get a vote on every ticket. This meant that the voter had to write in a name. To do this he was either animated by a spirit of mischief or resentment at a nomi nation. Motorboat owners are tuning up their craft preparatory to enjoying a summer on the river, and it is no ticed that almost every time a fellow goes out for a spin that he takes a cruise down toward the site of the river dam. The motorboat people be lieve that some of the worst shoals and rocks will be covered and better land ing places afforded. People who like to row are eagerly awaiting the build ing of the dam. because it will give new places to explore and cover up the grass patches that are breeding places for the striped-legged terrors ! that give the mosquito tribe an evil name. A pair went by the row of "movies" in Market street last night and the girl was busy telling the j-outh that she never went to the shows. Sudden ly a big lithograph loomed up and the girl stopped and said that she thought the hero was not as good-looking as he was last week when he shot Mex icans. The Philadelphia high school class here yesterday to see the cltv and Capitol was the third within a short time and it is interesting, and grati fying as well, to learn that this city was picked over New York, West Point and Washington. The explanation of the student visitors is that their pres ence is more appreciated in a small town than in a big one and they have \ better time. I WELL KNOWN PEOPLE 1 —Ex-Attorney General W. TJ.

And the worst la yet to come.. REPUBLICANS FID IN LEAD INSTATE Polled 320,000 of the Total Vote Cast For Governor in the State Last Month Official figures show that there were just 571,734 votes polled on the nom ination of candidates for Governor at the first State-wide primary ever held in Pennsylvania for the selection, of candidates for the executive office, and of this total 320,097 were polled for the four candidates for the Republi can nomination. Just 200,854 were polled in the Democratic contest. However, comparison between the contests is not to be made. The Demo crats engaged in one of tlie most furi ous struggles that has marked the tempestuous career of the party in the Keystone State, and every effort was made to get the enrolled voters to the polls, as the statements of the Palmer- McCormick committees show. And yet they polled but 200,000 votes in a contest in which the national adminis tration took a hand and which ex tended over months. The contest In side the Republican ranks was hardly a ripple and yet Dr. Brum baugh polled 253,788 votes. In other words he got a quarter of a million votes without making much of a cam paign, while the combined efforts of the contending Democrats got out only 200,000 votes. The Brumbaugh vote was the second highest cast at the primary, Henry Houck having 274,000 votes. Joseph Caufflel, who ran high est against Brumbaugh, got 32.18U by dint of considerable campaigning and expenditure of $3,200, while Edward R. Wood got 21,397 in Philadelphia on a local campaign. The Bull Moose total vote on Governor was 48,386. One of the interesting things about the campaign is that Brumbaugh is also Keystone nominee. According to word from Washing ton, P. asident Wilson has become scared over the situation! in Pennsyl vania and has promised to make at least two speeches in behalf of the White Wilson House Twins. The rubber Coming stamp ticket was accepted to Help by the voters of the State by dint of expenditure of a lavish amount of money and the Presi dent is now going to show that he approves ot all that was done, no matter what other people may think. Just where he will speak is not known, but that he is coming in an ef fort to line up Democrats who have turned with disgust from McCormick is evident. The Philadelphia Ledger in a review of the primary expense account says: "An erroneous impression has gone abroad, which, in a way, does Mr. Mc- Komarks on Cormick an injustice. I Primaries It detracts from a Just Past reputation he has honestly acquired as the greatest political spendthrift since the time of Addicks and the Delaware episode. It must not be understood that the cost of Mr. McCormick's nomination was a paltry $33,274.73. That is the amount re turned—itemized—as having been ex pended by the candidate himself, aided only by a member of his family, who contributed $5,000. It is a fund wholly separate and apart from the expendi tures by the Palmer and McCormick committees in the various counties, ex cept that the candidate contributed $2,000 to the Palmer and McCormick League. The 'watchers,' the 'workers,' the patriots who charged from $3 to $25 a day for 'getting out the vote,' were paid by the Palmer and McCor mick League. It is not known what this league invested and will not be this week, as the committees have thirty days in which to report, and only twenty-four of them have been heard from. If those already filed are to be taken as a criterion of cost, then at a low estimate $20,000 more must be added to the sum confessedly neces sary to insure the nomination of a re former and a reorganizer at a direct primary ,in which the majesty and sovereignty of the people were to be revealed in a peculiar way." Dauphin county Progressives, who have been considerably disturbed by the persistent reports that Colonel Roosevelt did not in tend to give more than four days to Progressives speechmaking i n Worried Over Pennsylvania, and Pinchot Act that there is little chance of him tak ing much hand in matters in this sec tion, were rather downcast last night when the news got about that Amos Pinchot had demanded the retirement of Perkins. Perkins lias always been considered a most valuable member of the party's high council by the Dau phin Bull Moosers and has many ad mirers here. The question of financing the party's operations in this county will be considered by the committee when it meets to-morrow. Harrißburg Democrats, who are looking forward to lavish campaign work this Fall, are awaiting with some eagerness an indication from the Little Boss as Will Name to whom he desires for Chairman chairman of the Demo- For City cratic city committee this Fall. The machine dominates both the city and county committee members, and after Herr Moeslein is re-elected coun ty chairman it is the plan to have the city chairman selected, so that mat ters can get a good start. As soon as the chairmen are in office there will be many applications made to dis seminate information and to act as "watchers" during the coming cam paign. The anti-McCormick men will hardly make a contest, judging from what they say. David H. Lane, the veteran chair man of the Philadelphia Republican city committee, was re-elected yester day by the committee and sounded a warn ing to the members of Lane Gives the party to get to Counsel to work in earnest. The Committee chairman said that the last campaign brought the Republicans success, but that a good measure of it was due to the weakness of the opposing forces rather than to the wisdom of the Republi cans. Mr. Lane urged that the com mittee members prepare for the Fall campaign and that things be pushed forward so that when the campaign opens the Philadelphia organization will be ready. The other speakers were Senators Vare and McNichol and Congressman Vare.
