Bditorlal Room &85. Job Dept. FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE t2 SWINGING BACK TO SANITY WHEN the Democratic candi date for Governor of this State announced in his plat form that he was going to change the rules of the Legislature so as to make that body more responsive to the Executive, he echoed the pres ent occupant of the White House who has usurped all the legislative func tions of the national government. "It is as true to-day," said the New York Sun, "as it was when Mr. Jus tice Story made the observation, more than eighty years ago, that the legis lative, executive and judicial depart ments ought to be separate, and the powers of one ought not to be exer cised by either of the others; and that when all three powers are unitted in the same hands there is a real des potism, to the extent of their coercive exercise." But there is a gradual swinging hack to sanity iii government, not withstanding the attitude of the pres ent little men who have gained con trol of the Democratic party and its machinery. State Highway Commissioner Bige low announces that ho is ready to pro ceed with the building of the roads of the State and the reconstruction of the highways which have been going to the bad since the tie-up of the funds by the Auditor General. It is time that all political juggling and controversy should cease and that the roads of the State be put in decent condition for the use of the peopK. SAFE AND SANE FOURTH BACK to the old-time celebration, gathering 'round the flag, for us! The Idea of the flagpole exercises supplies the needed exhilaration for the day. Young America must do something, and when it has seen a parade and heard'the salute of the guns and the band play as the flag flutters up, it can very well he content to pass the rest of the day ■without getting its fingers scorched. Certainly we ought to have some sort of patriotic exercises to com memorate the day, even if the powder Is cut out, and this will be supplied by the flagpole celebration, which will he unique and inspiring. And then to the open! After all, boys, Isn't it just as heroic to wade in Conodoguinet creek with hare feet as to take a chance on blow ing off a toe in the hot town? Dr. Wilson has succeeded in forcing through the Senate his favor to John Bull in the shape of his bill to repeal the toll exemption clause of the Panama Canal act, bdt in doing so he has prob ably driven another wedge in the split ting of the Democratic party. As the people learn more of the motive back of this measure they will resent still more the President's surrender to a foreign power. TENNIS IS POPULAR IF Harrißburg is to keep pace with the demands of an ever-increasing proportion of its youthful lovers of out-o'-door sports, it must make prompt and ample provision for better tennis facilities at Reservoir Park. Half a dozen additional courts would probably solve the problem for an other year or so; proper observance of the tennis rules would relieve the Bituatlon immeasurably for the pres ent. The time and age playing limit regulation particularly should be more rigidly enforced. The court regulations recently fram ed and posted prohibit the use of the courts, except Nos. 1 and 2, by chil dren of sixteen or under after 4.30 o'clock week-days and throughout the entire afternoon of Saturdays. This provides an opportunity for play for the adult enthusiasts who have been confined all day to desk, or office, or •tore, and who only get a chance to get to the parks after business hours. Whether oversight, doubt as to age limit, or a desire not to Interfere with the play of the children on the part of the officials, is responsible for the patience-exhausting waiting of the older players is a matter of conjec ture; that the older players do sit for B half or three-quarter hour waits is undeniable. Temporary relief will be afforded, f.oo, perhaps, when the one court on FRIDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG t&S6& TELEGRAPH JUNE 12, 1914. the upper Whitehall street tier Is finally put into shape. It has been ploughed and prepared for a layer of finishing clay. Until the clay floor is put down and rolled, however, the court is useless. Park officials prom ise relief Just as soon as the clay ar rives. Some day, possibly, more courts will be available. A plan of the old park board to turn the Eighteenth and Walnut streets roadway Into tennis courts when the new entrance at Market and Twenty-flrst streets was provided, fell through for lack of suf ficient funds. Now that the new for mal entrance is only a matter of time, this plan could be carried out, so more tennis courts may be a matter of the not very distant future, after all. In the meantime more thorough observance of the age and playing limit ruleAwould help wonderfully. The Rev. Dr. .T. Ritchie Smith, the popular pastor of the Market Square Presbyterian Church, has been unani mously elected to an important chair in Princeton Seminary. Members of his congregation and the community gen erally would sincerely regret the re moval «of Dr. Sm'th from this city, and they will hope that he may decide to remain here, where his activities are so highly appreciated. ALMSHOUSE REFORM OF course, there could be no mis management of the Almshouse or any other institution under a Democratic "reform" adminis tration! Don't we know that every promise that has ever been made by the Democratic reformers has been scrupulously kept. There may be a few uncomfortable insects in the beds at the Almshouse, but It is unreason able to expect busy little reformers to get rid of all these undesirable ten ants in a few months. Of course, a Republican steward and other officials of the opposite po litical faith should have been drawn and quartered under similar condi tions, but not a word must* be said about the unsanitary surroundings of a Democratic administration. It matters not that some employes of a former administration are still on duty, as intimated in the defense. If they were not doing their work in the right way they should have been dismissed long ago; but how does that relieve the reform admin istration of the responsiblity of main taining unsanitary quarters for the unfortunate wards of the county. We recall that the present clerk of the Directors of the Poor, who rushes to their defense, was the representa tive of Boss McCormick's newspaper who had himself committed to the county prison for the purpose of re vealing alleged awful conditions in that institution for McCormick cam paign purposes. If his experience amounted to anything, he should have been able to discover the need of sani tation at the Almshouse, especially as his official position imposes this obli gation upon him. Because the unfortunate Italian whose case has been presented to the public is poor and- helpless is no rea son why he should not have had proper consideration. He deserved and should have received the best treat ment possible. Colonel Roosevelt is quoted in a dis patch from Madrid as having no use for Amos Pinchot, who he "considers is radical almost to the point of foolish ness." Surely our brethren of the Pro gressive party are having troubles of their own. Amos said unkind things about George W. Perkins, who Is a kind soul and awfully generous In the campaigns. OR. BRUMBAUGH'S CHARACTER 111 his personal organ this morning the Democratic candidate for Gov ernor, the smaller of the White House Twins, modestly and with that, self-effacement so characteristic of the man, declares that "the better Dr. Brumbaugh's character is proved to be, the more valuable does he be come as such an asset and the more dangerous is he as a foe to the re form movement." This preposterous statement is a peurlle effort to prove that the distinguished Republican candidate is an asset of Senator Pen rose and, therefore, unfit to be the Governor of Pennsylvania. Of course, Mr. McCormick has only the Interests of the people at heart in making such an assertion. His own ambition has nothing whatever to do with the case and the contention thajt Dr. Brumbaugh becomes "more dangerous as a foe to the alleged re form movement" in proportion as his high character is demonstrated will impress the average reader as un answerable logic. Dr. Brumbaugh made the mistake of not getting the approval of the Palmer-McCormy:k machine before he became a candidate for governor. General Carranza threatens to upset all of Secretary Bryan's peace plans, which Is mean of Carranza after all the nice things the great Chautauquan has said about Jilm. Crop news remains very good, accord ing to the trade reports, but the for eign figures show the widespread In activity of American textile plants, and all reports from industrial centers in dicate the steady lessening of produc tion and the absence of orders. Perhaps the most impressive fact, and it may be psychological at* that, is the shipment of many millions of gnld out of the United States In the last few weeks without any Influence whatever upon the money market of the United States. Money is so plentiful here by reason of the absence of demand that bankers are beginning to wonder what they will do with it. George W. Perkins says he will stay in the Progressive party despite Amos Plnchot's attack. Wonder how Gtftord feels about It? AN EVENING THOUGHT Learn to do well; seek Judg ment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. —Isa. 1:17. 1 EVENING CHATI There may be churches in which men may sit without coats and it is the rule in many business* establish ments for men to go coptless, while many stores encourage the wearing of shirts that replace the coat to a cer tain extent, but there is ono place where a man must wear a coat. It is not in the State Capitol or in hotels or halls, but it is in dining cars. Up on the ''Hill" heads of departments a bout ' n their shirt sleeves or without coats and any evening men can be seen enjoying life in hotel cor ridors without coats. They even go into dining rooms that way, but not into dining cars. No matter how a man may sit around in a Pullman or a smoker, no matter whether he doffs h.s collar In the car. he must have his collar and tie in place and his coat where the tailor intended it to be when he enters the dining car. Last year a couple of members of the Legis lature during a critical legislative period undertook to ignore this rule, out they were "called" and took re venge when another kind of call oc curred on Capitol Hill. It caused some commotion, but the coat rule on the dining car stood. Several times lately people have steamed into Union Sta t!\. steam is used advisedly) filled with indignation against the coat rule i fining cars. Men of Influence and affluence have stormed against it, but the laws of the Medes are as board of health regulations in an industrial borough with a large foreign popu lation compared to the coat rule in the dining car. •v. .? , e men mos t prominent in the development of storage batteries has been secured by the Engineers' Society for the monthly lecture to night. He is J. H. Tracy, assistant chief engineer of the Philadelphia Electric storage Battery Company, and well known to many Harrisburgers. Mr. Tracy has made a study of the subject for years and will giv© illustrations by means of lantern slides. These lec tures have been a great feature of the activities of the society and have brought many men from the industrial establishments and big engineering un dertakings in this section of the State to Harrisburg for professional discus sions and entertainment. In fact, the society is filling a very large part in tne life of men engaged in engineer ing by its meetings, discussions, lec tures and publications. County Detective James T. Walters has been awarded the prize for an un usual accident. He has a summer cot tage near Inglenook and while repair ing a screen door found that he had to pry off some of the screen. He used a screwdriver as a lever and the net ting flew off, the keen edge striking him at the edge of his nostrils. It made a painful cut and a lot of annoy ance. The detective has drawn five diagrams showing how the accident occurred. James Sweeney, the State chief of standards, who is the boss of the weights and measures, has had some funny experiences with people who fail to understand that the State's standards are not for the verification of the weights of private persons, but for counties and municipalities. The other day a man dumped a whole set of weights at the office and asked for prompt verifications. He was not afraid of the weights, but he just thought he would use Father Penn's equipment. He was hard to convince. On another occasion a milkman brought in some measures and said that he wanted to be sure they were right so that Commissioner Foust's sleuths would not nab him. W. A. Megauchey, of IG4O Fulton street, is the possessor of a copy of the Ulster County Gazette, published by Samuel Freer n 1914 and for Colonel Roosevelt for President in 1916. Without any specially organized ef fort to secure his nomination at the Statewide primary election, but having confidence in the ability and integrity of Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh, whose record as privatfe citizen and public official Justifies the belief that if elect ed governor he would administer the duties of the office honestly and Intel ligently, without allegiance to any man or set of men, recognizing only the public good as his official guide, 250,000 freemen of Pennsylvania united to secure his nomination for governor. In all probability more than twice that number will unite in se curing his election. Will Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, an ex-President of the United States, come to Pennsylvania to assail such a candidate and to assail him in the interest of a man whose popular vote at the primary election did not exceed 35,000 votes? THOSE THIRTY CENTS [From the Johnstown Leader.] Vance McCormlck's votes cost him thirty cents each. That's about what the average Democrat looks like when the prevailing "psychological depres sion" Is mentioned. AWIIIT TEST CASE ON PRIMIRY BILLS Auditor General's Department Will Stand Pat on Its Position Regarding Cuts SOLICITORS MAY SUE HERE Criticism of the Democratic Ex penses Goes Merrily on Throughout the State Officials of the Auditor General's department say that they are awaiting the Inauguration of proceedings to test the right of the Auditor General to re duce tho bills for the expense of the primaries. For the last two years threats of actions to see whether the Auditor General has authortiy to scale down a bill' rendered for work done after competitive bidding has been made, but they have not been brought, and a good many people who see the possibilities of primary bills running away up are doubtful whether the action would stand. Thus far tho Auditor General's de partment has paid fifty-nine of the sixty-seven counties for the expenses of the 1913 primary and two more will be settled soon. Practically all of the counties in Central Pennsylvania have been paid, Dauphin having received its share some time ago. Philadelphia, Allegheny and a few of the big ones are outstanding and It is thought that there will be a big deficiency after the 1014 bills, which have not com menced to come in, are audited. A few Inquiries have been made about the expenses for this year and it looks like an enormous amount. In Northampton and Luzerne county seats there are protests being made against reduction of bills and the com missioners have made demands for payment, asserting that if they are not given what they ask they will have their solicitors mandamus the Auditor General on the ground that his reduc tions were arbitrary. The Philadelphia Public Ledger, dis cussing campaign expense accounts, says of the Palmer-McCormick state ments filed to date: "The 27 counties, all of them except Lackawanna, May Require relatively small, received $500,000 in from the Palmer- Campaign McCormick campaign committee an aggregate in contributions of sfi,Boo and the two Philadelphia wards an average of $175 each. If this average held good throughout the State, the contribution of Palmer-McCormick money to the counties, estimating Pittsburgh by wards, will be between 12 5,000 and $30,000, It is believed lavish expendi tures in Dauphin county will make the total fully $3 0,000, which means that the uplift comes high in Pennsylvania, requiring $63,000 to make the Presi dent's friend a candidate for Governor. This is thought to be a low estimate. Some keen observers say the county committee expenditures, the personal expenditures of the candidate and of various other committees will run the sum well over the SIOO,OOO mark, and that if the same lavish system obtains in the election it will require a cool half-million to finance the campaign. Most of the more than nearly $7,000 sent into the 27 counties heard from went to 'watchers," some of whom sold their services as cheap as $2, and others of whom received as much as $15." Warren Van Dyke, for the last three years resident secretary of the cratlc State headquarters, was last night appointed secretary of the Democratic State committee. The position Van Dyke entails the general man- the New agement of headquarters Secretary and details and Mr. Van Dyke's friends extended their congratulations to him. Mr. Van Dyke succeeds Arthur McKean, who was elected as chairman of the tenth division. He comes from Carbon county, where he was for some time active in Democratic politics. Mr. Van Dyke was named for city chair man last year and is being talked of for the same place this year. In view of the declarations of the Democratic candidates in favor of local option- and the uproar made when they tricked the State committee of their Luzerne party out of a chance Democrats to vote on the question. Will Buck these remarks from the Wilkes-Barre Record are interesting: "In no county in the State, perhaps, Is the local option feature of the Democratic platform so unpopular with the rank and file of Democrats as in the county of Luzerne! The men who make up the Democratic organization here are largely opposed to local option. This feeling of antagonism is best reflected in the attitude of the Democratic can didates for the Legislature from the various districts. Not a single Demo cratic nominee in Luzerne county Is willing to abide by the party platform In case he Is-elected. This situation is unusual, to say the least, and is with out parallel in the political history of this county—if not the entire State." POLITICAL SIDELIGHTS —Perkins says Amos. Pinchot's re marks don't matter. —Washington party candidates will have a dinner at Philadelphia next week. —Dr. Brumbaugh will speak at Val ley Forge to-morrow. —W. B. Kirker and D. B. Johns are being mentioned for the Allegheny county Republican chairmanship. —The Republican platform commit tee may be named to-night. # —Pinchot is still winging his way along, but not getting many crowds. VARIETY AND WOUNDED HEARTS [New York Sun.] In his curious attempt to dechau tauqulze Mr. Bryan by appropriate legislation, the Hon. Fred A. Britten, M. C., of Illinois, seems to forget, in his wrath at that irreclaimable Tyro lean warbler of politics, the high moral uses of scorn steadfastly and steadily endorsed. "Tho foreign policy of our govern ment," says Mr. Britten, "is being laughed at by every civilized nation on earth." If this be so, what a lesson is the Administration giving to the civilized and the uncivilized In the courage of that high, hard duty done "when men are sneering at you." Why blame»Mr. Bryan for consoling his wounded heart with bright quarters and salutes of Chautauqua?

"IS PERKINS HONEST f" This Is the title of a pamphlet which, according to Amos It. E Pinchot, was widely distributed by George W. Perkins from Progressive . headquarters in the Presidential campaign of 1912. Mr. Pinchot says that when Colorado headquarters wired to Mr. Perkins for Progressive literature he responded by sending large crates containing this pamph let, which had these lines: "It was the night before Al bert J. Beveridge delivered his keynote speech of the new po litical crusade. He asked Colo nel Roosevelt, George W. Per kins and a few other leaders to come to his room and hear him read the manuscript. The read ing proceeded in tense silence Beveridge was evidently labor ing under emotion, and Colonel Roosevelt was himself visibly itioved. But on George Perkins* cheeks the tears were coursing— and when neveridge came to those passages in which he out lined the course of justice for the men who make the nation. Perkins, with a sob he could not stifle, hastily left the room and paced the corridors to regain his self-control." IN HARRISBURG FIFTY YEARS AGO TO-DAY [From the Telegraph of June 12, 1864.] Itrlng In l.ont Children The Mayor of the city requests that all lost children within the limits of the city, may be brought to hjs office, and that all parents that may have lost Children may report the same at his office.

The effective work done by the Re publican organization is shown in the fact that the four candidates for Con gressman-at-Large slated by it were successful out or a field of ten.
