SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 13
PROGRESS OF IMPROVEMENTS
ELSEWHERE in The Telegraph
to-day appears a pictorial repre
sentation by this paper's camera
man of the various public un
dertakings in this city. These big
projects are giving employment to
day to many men who would other
wise be idle owing to the general de
pression in business. In this re
epect, Harrisburg has been extremely
fprtunate this year. With extensive
paving operations, the construction of
large and important sewers, the build
ing of subways in Second and Front
streets at Mulberry, the resumption
of the concrete work along Paxton
creek, the river wall and the dam un
dertakings and the many nrlvate en
terprises, not forgetting the work on
the enlargement of the Federal build
ing, labor conditions are somewhat
unusual.
There is increasing interest in this
city in the development of the great
plans for public improvement which
have been adopted from time to time
during the last twelve years. Keep
ing pace with the public spirit which
has pervaded the city, individual citi
zens and corporations are likewise
p.shing forward the important inter
ests with which they are identified.
Also, it is interesting to note that dur
ing the last year many of the over
head wires in the central business dis
trict have gone with the unsightly
poles.
Harrisburg continues to be a beacon
light of progress for the other mu
nicipalities of the State and strangers
never cease to sing the praises of this
pivotal city of the Commonwealth.
All the -work is going forward in a
way that indicates the early com
pletion of a number of the more im
portant undertakings, and it so hap
pens that much material from the
excavations for the subways is avail
able for the filling out of the River
Front. It was the good fortune of
the city that the railroad companies
decided to proceed with their im
provements at this time.
Senator William E. Crow, chairman
of the Republican State committee,
Always frank and above board in his
attitude on party questions, declares
In a statement to-day that the commit
tee of which he is the directing head
•will conduct the campaign from head
quarters in the interest of all the can
didates. This is in response to a sug
gestion that Senator Penrose would be
the favorite. Senator Crow is always
fair, and there need be no apprehension j
as to his best efforts being put forth i
In behalf of the whole Republican j
ticket.
BUSINESS AND POLITICS
THOSE politicians of all parties i
who imagined that the business j
men of the United States were
going to permit the wholesale
destruction of their Interests without
protest will discover that business can
come back and come back hard. Dis
cussing "Business and Politics" in a
speech this week Frank A. Vanderlip,
B. prominent banker, said:
Instead of denouncing politicians
I tell you you should become poli
ticians. If intelligence, experience,
success, proved genius for adminis
tration, trained executive powers—
and these are the qualities business
men are supposed to have—are not
to rule in a democracy, then so
much the worse for the democ
racy.
I believe in solidarity of effort
en the part of business nien, In
their organizing effectively to im
press upon the public and upon
Congress their views in regard to
legislation. We have heard much
of the desirability of not mixing
politics and business. Why should
we not'mix politics and business?
What greater duty have you to per
form than to give the best you
have of wisdom and judgment to
the direction of political currents,
and to give your wisdom and judg
ment effectively, not merely to
stand aside in the role of dissatis
fied critics, but rather by fretting
truly and effectively into the or
ganization and machinery of no
litlcal life.
These views are practically those of
business men all over the country,
who hava watched the legislative bod
ies pass one measure after another
antagonistic to legitimate trade. They
hava seen prosperity fly out the win
dow while doubt, uncertainty and loss
of oonfldence entered the door. Theory
has taken the place of experience.
Idealists are occupying high places
and things are going to smash because
man who know have been permitting
those who think they know to run
SATURDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH JUNE 13, 1914.
] the country and establish its policies.
Not content with upsetting the confi
dence and the prosperity of the peo
ple at home, the accidental adminis
tration at Washington has made us the
laughing stock of the nations of the
world.
Commissioner of Public Works Lynch
is an extremely practical man, and he
is not likely to permit the city to lose
the great quantities of filling material
that will come from the downtown
subways when this material is so much
needed along the river wall.
FLAG DAY
TO-MORROW will be Flag Day.
The whole nation will pause to
pay homage to the Stars and
Stripes. tt is entirely proper
that this should be so. Indeed, due
respect for the Flag is essential to the
welfare of the country. He who has
no love in his heart for the Starry
Banner is a poor citizen, Indeed, and
not fit to exercise the functions en
trusted to him as a citizen.
Rabbi Freund, in a sermon on the
flag at Ohev Sholem temple last even
ing, struck a true note when* he said
that "unless we at home respect the
flag we cannot demand respect for
it at the hands of other people."
The Stars and Stripes have a herit
age as honorable and as glorious as
there is in the world. The flag of the
United States led the way to popular
government as wo know it in America
to-day. Its history has been one of
splendid progress. It dealt the death
blow to slavery and beneath its folds
as noble sacrifices have been made as
the battlefields of any nation can
boast. It is worthy "the full measure
of our devotion" and every house to
morrow should display the colors and
every parent should teach to his chil
dren the lesson of the Star Spangled
I Banner.
A correspondent of the New York
Sun wonders whether President Wilson
has not at times In his secret soul
wished that Mr. Bryan had really been
"knocked into a cocked hat," as he re
cently suggested.
PAYING THE PIPER
PRESIDENT WILSON has pleased
Great Britain in the Panama Ca
nal tolls matter, but he has lost
the popular respect and devotion
which should be the dearest possession
of one in his exalted station. Senator
Borah expressed the whole situation
when he declared that it would be a
signal triumph for English diplomacy
when this bill shall have become a
law. It is going to be extremely diffi
cult for the President to escape the
conclusion that he was deceived by the
English diplomats who achieved their
purpose by demonstrations in Mexico.
There has never been an instance in
the history of the United States where
an administration surrendered to a
foreign power without feeling the lash
of the people at the succeeding elec
tion. Whatever may have been the
motive of President Wilson, the fact
that he has forced a subservient Con
gress to do his bidding against the
pronounced sentiment of the country
has angered and disgusted a patient
people with his spineless foreign poli
cies and they will express their dis
approval In November.
Perhaps the most humiliating of the
spectacles that have been presented by
the Democratic Congress is the shirk
ing of responsibility by the legislative
department and its willingness to per
mit the President to usurp the func
tions which reside in the two law
making bodies.
From the political standpoint it is
certain that the whole matter will re
turn to plague the Democratic party
and shorten its brief span of power.
More and more it is being impressed
upon the public that President Wilson,
as has been sugegsted by Senator
Clapp, is out of sympathy with popular
goverment. His head is in the clouds
and his theories have already over
turned policies necessary to the up
building and prosperity of the nation.
How much farther he will be permitted
to ride his hobbies remains to be seen.
It is marvelous that he has been
allowed to go so far without an ad
ministration collapse.
PRACTICAL EDUCATION
THE first step in one of the most
important educational develop
ments which New York city has
ever known, and one which may
lead to developments of the greatest
importance, has just been completed
with the commencement exercises in I
a factory in the clothing manufactur- I
ing district, at which thirty-five girls j
employed in the factory received their j
diplomas from the co-operative class,
which was established there last Fall.
The class was started by the officers
of the company in co-operation with
the Board of Education and is said to
be the only one of its kind. Just what
this means in the way of possibilities
among the illiterate is indicated by the
statement of one of the officers of the
company that within the last few
months they have been able to elimi-*
nate 10 per cent, of the illiteracy said
to exist among the foreign born, so
far as their 500 employes are con
cerned. A neatly printed diploma tied
with red ribbon was presented to each
of the thirty-five graduating girls.
It is hoped that the success of this
first experiment may lead to its more
general adoption throughout the
country. If that could be done It is
believed that it will mark one of the
most Important advances yet made In
the history of educational progress.
Farmers of Pennsylvania and else
where who voted two years ago for a
change at Washington are beginning
to wonder whether really wanted
It, in view of the fact that prices of
farm products are likely to take a
tumble by reason of the reduction of
the purchasing power of the consumers
through wholesale idleness of industrial
communities.
Thanks to the esteemed Patriot for
Its first-page publicity of the fact that
the general printing department of the
Telegraph was chosen by the Superin
tendent of State Printing as one of the
printing plants In this city equipped
for doing emergency work following
the recent destruction by fire of the
Aughlnbaugh plant. These little neigh
borly courtesies are appreciated ,
1 EVENING CHAD
Lew "freak" voting than usual ap
pears to have occurred at the recent
primary election, according to the
returns of the May primary filed at
the State Capitol. Ordinarily the re
turns are filled with instances where
people wrote in the names of friends
or of some person whom they desired
to compliment or to annoy, but this
year the scattering vote is devoted
more or less to voting for men not on
the party ballot which the voter had
to mark. In Philadelphia and Pitts
burgh there was some writing in of
names of men known locally, but not
to the exten noted in 1912 or 1913.
Gubernatorial Candidates Brumbaugh,
McCormick and Lewis received votes
from most of the parties other than
their own and some men declining to
accept the men who had filed nomi
nation papers voted for others. For
Instance, State Treasurer R. K. Young
received a Washington vote In Dau
phin county and ex-State Treasurer
William H. Berry got a Democratic
vote in Monroe. M. T. Stokes, who
ran for Congress on the Washington
ticket in the 16th district, also got a
Washington party vote for Governor.
Penrose and Palmer received votes for
Senator on the Washington, Prohibi
tionist, Socialist and Keystone tickets
in addition to sixty-two Democratic
votes for Penrose and fourteen Re
publican votes for Palmer. Pinchot
got votes on all tickets and Dimmick
on all but the Socialist.
Dauphin county had very little
jumping of the traces. A couple of
Democrats voted for Brumbaugh and
some Republicans for McCormick,
while both got Washington votes. Pal
mer picked up two Washington votes
and Pinchot a lone Republican. Some
Democrats voted for Dr. Houck and
for Prank McClain, but "Farmer"
Creasy did not attract any Republicans
or Washingtonians. In Cumberland
county Penrose got a Washington
vote; Pinchot three Republicans and
Dimmick and Pinchot each a Repub
lican.
Harrisburg will be well represented
next week when the eastern circuit
shoot is held at Bradford. This shoot
always attracts the crack shots of the
Atlantic States. H. B. Shoop, of this
city, will be one of the men to go after
trophies, of which he already has a
number.
It's rather amusing the way people
utilize a street when it is once closed
off from traffic. Take Vernon street,
for instance. This street begins at
13th, on which the Harrisburg Rail
ways Company is reconstructing its
double track. street is closed at
Thirteenth and people who want to
enter It must go around a block. So
the good ladies of Stevens church,
having a festival scheduled, just
used the temporarily closed end of
the street and decorated it with elec
tric lights and lanterns, spreading
their tables where the automobile or
dinarily honketh.
During the rather heated argument
between Attorney John Fox Weiss,
counsel for Edward G. Smith, and
District Attorney M. E. Stroup in June
quarter sessions yesterday, Mr. Weiss
was explaining some of the testimony
with which the defense expected to
prove that the accused murderer was
insane.
"Why, Your Honor," declared Mr.
Weiss, '"this man won't say a word —
he simply doesn't talk."
Perhaps President Judge Kunkel
was a trifle weary of the word battle
between the attorneys. At any rate
he sighed when the former district
attorney made the statement as to
Smith's taciturnity. Then to the evi
dent amusement of the other lawyers
within the bar railing, he gravely ob
served:
"Well, failure to talk isn't necessar
ily an evidence of insanity. Sometimes
those who talk the most are more in
sane than those who talk the least."
Five hundred women, —to tell the
plain unvarnished truth, —were glued
to their seats in Chestnut 6treet audi
torium Wednesday night when the
Central High School Seniors gave their
annual class play. The production
was "Jedbury Junior" and the fine
English comedy held the attention of
the big audience from start to finish.
And it was at the finish that the ladies
found themselves glued to their seats
whether or no. The night was hot
and the thin dresses stuck to the var
nish onvlhe seats. Bits of fabric was
found after the crowd filed out on
nearly every other seat The men in
their heavy suits escaped.
A good story of efficiency is told
by the work of the operators on the
Eastern Pennsylvania circuit of the
Associated Press yesterday. This cir
cuit includes thirteen of the cities in
the eastern end of the State and al
though 14,000 words were sent and
taken by the operators in those cities
there was not a single "break" or
interruption on the wire throughout
the seven hours' work. The Associated
Press operators are noted for their
excellent work and the performance
of yesterday is only an illustration of
how service can be kept right up to
the top notch.

Therefore let your hopeful bosom give

Ask some psychologic brother for a

Pay the grocer and the butcher with

And you speedily will find yourself in

And possessed of an embarrassment of

preparations for the

the chairman added these words,
which will send some carping critics
to the woodpile for the rest of the
campaign:
"The Republican State committee
will conduct the campaign for all of
the Republican nominees. It will not
speak alone for Senator Penrose or
for any one of the other candidates.
It will be, so far as we are concerned,
'One for all and all for one.' This cam

the keynote of the coming campaign
last night as the prin
cipal speaker at a
notable banquet given Penrose

ton, by the Lincoln
Club in celebration of
its twenty-fourth anniversary. There
is a concensus of opinion throughout
the country, he said, that the Demo
cratic party has proved Itself incom
petent to handle either this nation's
foreign affairs or its home industrial
policy, and he added that the Pro
gressive party, attempting to sail a
middle course and prescribe remedies
for existing evils, is in fact partially
responsible for the conditions it de
cries, in that a majority of its mem
bers in the House and Senate voted
not only for the Underwood tariff bill
but for the so-called "pop-gun" tariff
measures as well. Ex-Governor Sam
uel W. Pennypacker, William T. Til
den, president of the Union League,
and State Senator William E. Crow,
chairman of the Republican State
committee, were among the other
speakers.

EXASPERATION
By Wing Dlngrr
What's your idea of the Height of
Exasperation?
—"Froth," in the Patriot.
I'v® thought of quite a lot of things,
And I could name a few.
That irritating are to me
And would be to you, too.
For instance, there's the printer man,
Who'll take my verse some days
And set it up so badly that
Most sane men it would craze.
And there's the foreman, who 'twould
seem
Takes diabolic glee
When he says "Kid, the dead line's
passed,
Tou get no space from me."
And many other things occur
That stir up lots of strife
And wreck the peace and happiness
Of our daily life.
But what is worse than all combined
And soars to touch the height
Of all exasneratlon Is
To make a so-called "fight"
And spend some thirty thousand bones
To nominated be
For Governor, and a few months hence
A "peaceful twilight" see.
A PRACTICAL EXAMPLE OF
ECONOMY
[From the Philadelphia Inquirer]
From that wonderful platform that
Mr. Palmer and Mr. McCormck pre
pared for the use of the Democratic
party of Pennsylvania undef the eye
of President Wilson, we learn that
Pennsylvania is "the most conspicuous
example of misgovernment in all of
the Union."
Dear, dear! Now It seems that a
good many Pennsylvanlans have been
under the impression that for some
years past Pennsylvania, on the con
trary, had been affording a conspicu
ous example of a State that could hold
her head up above most if not all of
her sister States. To think that it has
remained for the free trader and Brit
ish apologist Palmer and his million
aire political colleague McCormick to
discover otherwise! But then, being
in a way a part of the Wilson Admin
istration, since he is the Administra
tion's patronage dispenser for Penn
slyyania, it may be that Palmer has
shifted his habitation to the dreamy
cloudlands of theory among which diiir
genial but doctrinaire President dwells,
and has become a student of psychol
ogy. Surely his description of Penn
sylvania as "the most conspicuous ex
ample of misgovernment" is "merely
psychological."
For Pennsylvania has been' pursuing
the even tenor of her ways happy, con
tented, prosperous—at least until a
Democratic administration came Into
power with a deadly tariff law which
has assailed her industries and sent
tens of thousands of her workingmen
hunting jobs upon the streets.
Her progressive legislation has been
a model for other States. Her elec
tion laws have put the control of her
affairs Into the votes of her people.
She gives more to schools and chari
ties than any other Commonwealth.
But the remarkable platform de
clares that she is "extravagant," and
if the Democratic party Is only given
control, why, we are to have all ex
travagance and inefficiency abolished
and we are to substitute "economy."
To be sure we are to economize. It
seems that somewhere we have all
heard about "extravagance" and
"economy" in the recent past. Was
it not in the Democratic platform
adopted at Baltimore? It was. The
Republican administration at Wash
ington had been "extravagant." All
this was to be changed.
And the result? Why, no Congress
on record has been so extravagant as
the present Wilson-controlled body.
And not only extravagant, but it has
created a deficiency in the Treasury
where there was, only one short year
ago, a surplus.
The State of Pennsylvania, under
Republican jurisdiction, is now with
out debt. It does n»t owe one single
cent!
With the "conspicuous example" of
economy of Democratic Administra
tion at Washington before us, is It wise
to take chances with a Democratic ad
ministration in Pennsylvania? And
especially with a Governor who ex
pended $33,000 of his own money to
secure the nomination alone?
PRESS COMMENT
We venture to predict that the next
really great step in governmental reg
ulation will be the regulation of the
executive. We believe it is almost in
sight; of the dire need of it no doubt
now remains. Unless the restoration
of the constitutional apportionment of
powers among the three departments
of the government is undertaken soon,
by heroic and patriotic spirits, both
the Legislature and the judiciary are
doomed to atrophy.
History has shown over and over
again how the unchecked extension of
executive power brings ruin upon the
State. There Is for Americans no
higher enterprise of public service
than the bringing back of the execu
tive to constitutional bounds. New
York Sun.

THE PRESIDENT ON THE STUMP
[Front the Philadelphia Bulletin]
The intention of President Wilson
to stump the State of Pennsylvania in
the State and congressional campaign,
bringing with him the members of his
Cabinet, Congressman Underwood and
other leaders of Congress, suggests the
appreciation at Washington of the
necessity of an extraordinary effort to
stem the tide of public opinion in this
State now running against the Ad
ministration.
Mr. Underwood is coming to demon
strate the mental processes by which
the decline in hob-nails, steol nroducts
and metal furnishings may offset the
continuance of high prices of food
stuffs and make the cost of living un
der his tariff a joy and a delight in
spite of idle time and the loss of wages.
Secretary Redfield may be brought
along to tell the locomotive builders
and the textile mill workers that when
they get out of a job they only get a
vacation, if they choose to look at it

that way. Secretary Daniels may in
terest Philadelphians with the story of
the disappearing drydock, and Secre
tary Bryan ought to he in good ora
torical form after the Chautauqua sea
son.
But what is the President expected
to add to all this? He can't make
black take on a rosy hue, and he can't
make the vision of prosperity do full
duty for the realities of business de
pression and lack of work. The re
sources of thought transference and
psychological control must yield a
power yet undeveloped if the state or
mind of Pennsylvania is to be re
deemed and brought again into har
mony of vision with the dreamers at
Washington. But the President and
his friends should recognize the fact
that the stump in Pennsylvania this
Fall will not be a favorable place for
the discussion of the issue of Psy
chology vs. Protection.
