JUNE 17 WISDOM INCARNATE UNDER the "New Freedom" of the Wilson dynasty It is not proper for the American citizen to protest or petition. He must dimply wait the pleasure of the Wisdom now enthroned at Washington. If he he a business man his experience and judgment must bo set aside while the theories of an administration which seems determined to wreck the busi ness of the country are permitted to roll on. Pennsylvania Is to be the chosen field for the exploitation of these re markable policies. Have we not heard that Palmer and McCormick are the accepted vessels of the infallible doc trinaire of the White House? Has he not Indicated that these two young men are his favorite Instruments lor the promulgation of his cure-alls? Pennsylvania is to hear from the throne itself later in the campaign and then will follow streams of wisdom from the Bryans and the Redflelds and the Wilsons and the other ponderous oracles who are now telling the people at frequent intervals how great is the incarnated Wisdom of the dynasty erected upon the mistaken theory that the people can be fooled all the time. A few months ago we were told that a lobby existed at Washington to over turn the policies which were being framed by the Congress for the wel fare of the country, but this "lobby" seems to have been nothing more than the distracted manufacturers and busi ness men. through their representa tives. protesting against a further on slaught upon the legitimate interests of the nation. Now follows a "con spiracy" which is said to comprise the same business interests and the same leaders of industry protesting against furtheY tyranny of the Wisdom sitting in the White House. As in the first instance, these state irsents are put out for the purpose of creating an impression that there ex ists in the United States to-day some sort of a combination conceived in iniquity and brought forth with the purpose of discrediting the infallible theorist who now boasts of his inten tion to still further harass and hector the industry and commerce of the country in order to test his theories of government and the control of business. Unless every known sign shall fail It is believed the ides of November will witness the downfall of the Wil son propaganda and the retirement for another long period of the Democratic party which has again utterly failed as a constructive political organization. It is given out by way of Washing ton that the Palmer-McCormick faction will send out a statement,-collected by their workers throughout the State, which, it Is said, will show that the liquor men spent in the Democratic pri mary a sum greatly in excess of that reported by Mr. McCormick. Throw ing dust, as usual. SPORTSMEN AND FOREST FERES THE government Is seeking the aid of sportsmen in the preven tion of forest fires. Because of the fact that many fires are set through the carelessness of hunters, campers and others who go into the woods for recreation, the forest ser vice has taken up with manufacturers of firearms and ammunition the ques tion of a co-operative arrangement through which purchasers and users of guns and cartridges shall be reminded of the Are danger. It has been pointed out that in the East particularly many forest fires are started by the carelessness of hunt ters, who drop burning matches, cigar or cigaret stumps, or pipe coals In the woods, or perhaps build a fire which Is left burning when the hunter goes on. Forest fires, of course, great ly Injure the interests of sportsmen by robbing tha birds of their proper cover. They also Impair the food sup ply of both birds and big game, through the destruction of the under growth, which furnishes browse, ber ries and other food. The Eastern woods are exposed to the danger from fires principally in the Spring and Fall, when most of the trees are bare anfo the leaves on the ground are dry. The Spring fires, many of which are due to trout lisher men, may destroy the eggs of game tilrdß and even the young birds them selves. Since trout are like ly to hunt In the Fall, the same indi viduals, if careless, may be a source of danger at both seasons. It Is suggested that the manufac turers of arms and ammunition ought to be sufficiently interested in the mat ter of perpetuation of game to be will ing to help in the campaign against forest flres. This help may come through the printing of some brief fire warning on cartridge boxes or some slip to go with any hunting or camp ing supplies which furnished. It would seem to be good business to comply. Secretary Bryan's good friends. Villa and Carranza, as they approach Mexico City, have determined that the country Is not big enough for both of them. Here's where the "watchful waiting" game must be resumed by the great diplomatists at Washington. HARMONY UN ART MILLIONS of dollars' worth of paper money of a new type will be put into circulation upon the establishment of the Fed eral Reserve banks within the next few weeks. In this respect It 1b inter esting to note that the new ten-dollar bill will bear on its face a picture of Cleveland and on the back a manu facturing scene. This was doubtless done for the same reason that Buffalo is called Buffalo although there are no buffaloes there. To some who made regular trips to the souphouses and to countless others who searched in vain for work or saw their fortunes swept away during the memorable panic when Cleveland was President and the free trade flag was flying at the na- j tion's masthead,'this close relation of Cleveland and busy factories will look like a grim attempt at humor on the j part of the designer of the bill. For the sake of harmony in the art of the new series, we suggest for the S2O bill the face of President Wilson on one side and the picture of a pleased and smiling workman on the other. The remaining space might he given over to a few terse phrases on the» folly of "mental mourning"' and the application of psychology to mod ern business, with special relation to hypnotizing oneself into the pleasant belief that there is no such thing really as hard times. Isn't it too hail that Republican leaders in this State refuse to get ex cited over the effort of the Palmer- MeCormick machine to create the im pression that there are serious dif ferences between the Republican nomi nees? VILLA AXI) CARRANZA NOTWITHSTANDING denial of the report that General Villa and General Carranza have had a break, there is every reason to believe that the apparent harmony between the two is only on the surface. Villa has been winning all the victories. Carranza has been little more than a name In the activi ties that are sweeping the rebel hosts toward the Mexican capital. Villa is an adventurer, a self-seeker and am bitious. He Is an ex-bandit, and "to the victor belongs the spoils" is natur ally a part of his philosophy of life. It Is self-evident that it goes hard with him to bow the knee to Carranza. Villa is the real leader and he awaits only a favorable opportunity to dem onstrate both that fact and his desire to supplant Carranza as actual head of the Constitutionalist forces In Mexico. Naturally, Mr. McCormick isn't much disturbed by the Democratic adminis tration's failure to reduce the high cost of living. Mr. McCormick Is a mil lionaire. It is easy for the President to believe that times are good. The tariff has had no effect on his salary. MOSQUITOES WHEN our army went to Cuba and our engineering force to Panama the llrst thing the government did was to pro vide funds for the extermination of the mosquitoes carrying malaria and yellow ferver germs. Congressman J. Hampton Moore proposes to have Con gress set aside SIOO,OOO, to be used in conjunction with funds to be ap propriated by the State Legislatures in fighting the mosquito in the United States. Congress does not appear to be overly enthusiastic. Tf we give our army officers votes of thanks-and pro mote them for banishing mosquitoes from Havana and Panama, why should not mosquito fighting be just as much of a virtue at home? Secretary Rryan will lecture again, says a news story. Which may or may not help to prove the old adage that "silence is golden." Perhans one reason why so many girls kiss dogs Is because they, at their worst, do not smoke clgarets. ENGLISH AND AMERICAN IT is almost worth the loss of tho international championship polo cup to note the tribute Lord Wimborne, of the English team, paid to the Americans when he said, in accepting the trophy: "I hope there will be other international matches in which we may show an American team how much we appreciate the spirit of sport we met here." We lost, but we arc good losers. We offer no excuses, being content with giving expression to the opinion that the better team won. It is to be hoped that when the cup ccmes back at a later date the English public will be just as generous and equally gracious. Those Olympic games complaints have loft a bad taste In our mouths. It seems sometimes as though gal lons and gallons of Innocent Ink Is be ing uselessly spent over this mediation, doesn't It? This story about Bryan's saying the Senate talks too much makes one think of that other story about tho pot's calling the kettle black. I —— Anybody who ( goes to market knows there is always room at the top for the biggest cherries. ["EVENING CHAT] Samuel B. llambo, superintendent ot public grounds and buildings, plans to have seven fariious battle flags, relics of five wars and one trophy, framed and ■ hung in the corridors of the State Capitol next year. These flags are of such un usual interest that they have not been placed in the glass cases, but have been taken charge of until an ap propriation can be made to preserve and treat them. It is the idea to cover them with a very thin grade of silk and to 'have them so displayed that both sides can be seen. One of these flags is the Revolutionary flag and the other will be the "rattlesnake flag" of the Proctor regiment in the war for independence which will soon be sent here from Greensbtfrg. The others will be the 1812 war flag; the Mexican flag captured when Scott took Mexico in 1848 and recently donated to the State; the flag the first defend ers oarried into Washington in 1861, the standard in the glass cases having been that they carried through Bal timore; the signal flag used to sl°Tial the approach of the Rebels on Little Round Top and the standard the Tenth Pennsylvania carried into Ma nila in 1898. It is figured that these trophies are of such general interest that people would rather see them displayed full length than see them in the cases where the flags are furled. The flags are attracting great atten tion as they stand in the cases in the Capitol, where they were placed after the ceremonies of Monday, and prof fers of r number of others have been made. One of the things most commented upon about the exercises attending the transfer of the battle flags from the State Museum to the Capitol ro tunda was the manner in which every thing moved. There was no hitch anywhere, there was always something doing and there was a fitting In that made the whole program enjoyable. As a matter of fact there was not a minute lost and everything went on the time which Adjutant General Thomas J. Stewart had scheduled weeks before. For instance it was planned to have the flag distribution at the Museum completed by 2 o'clock. This began at 12:45 and when it is considered that each flag had to ko to the right man it meant lots of work. It was just 1:58 when the last standard bearer marched out. The exercises were planned to begin at 3 o'clock and to last seventy-three min utes when the last march into the Capitol would begin and end at 4:45. The veterans were all seated and the choir ready to sing at 3 and it was just 4:14 when the benediction had been pronounced. Everything was over before a quarter to 5. In the handling of a difficult problem with aged men and thousands of specta tors to manage it was some demon stration. Harrisburg men do not seem to be as forward in the matter of wearing white clothes in summer as they were last year, declared a man who keeps tabs on styles. "Over in New York," he remarked, "there is a movement under way for the general wearing of white as the summer garb for men and it appears to be taking well. Men do not like to wear white because it makes them conspicuous, but you give any man a companion garbed the way he happens to be and he will become a crusader for style. They're not like women in that respect. A woman likes to be unique and all alone when she is setting the pace. Now, it is my observation that last yeair more men wore white than are doing so this year. Maybe they are waiting for a start. Anyway, it would add much to comfort if men wore white through the summer." W. C. Bennett, of Blairsville, was here yesterday on business connected with the Capitol. He is a member of a well-known business firm in Indiana county. The flag transfer ceremonies and the numerous meetings on Capitol Hill this week have caused the hotels to be thronged by people and the num ber of persons has attracted atten tion. One hotel was compelled to turn people away and another put in cots. The hotel men say that Un fortunately the rush is only a dp.y or so and that the week ends are any thing but lively unless a good auto mobiling day comes along. Those who have occasion, to observe the skies to the south of the city in the evening will notice that for the first time in years there is little or no glow over Steelton. Two years ago furnaces in South Harrisburg and Steelton were lighting up the skies all night and the reflection from the Bes semer mill could be seen for miles. Now except for an occasional glint the skies above Steelton are dark. I WELL KNOWN PEOPLE ] —State Chairman William E.

MEM Hll | | UNDER THE BELT Suddenly Went Down and Out or Up and Out Just Before Gty Committee Met JONES ADVERTISES FIGHT Thanks Those Who Had Been Op posing Him For Blowing Up Boom of His Rival Who blew up the boom of School Director George A. Werner for the chairmanship of the Democratic city committee? This question was interesting many Demorats to-day and adherents of the Fritchey-Stucker faction were smiling behind their hands while the follow ers of the McCormick gang were go ing around looking Innocent, ilr. Werner and some of his immediate backers seemed to be puzzled. Of all the interesting affairs.which the fighting Democracy of Dauphin county has staged in its tumultous ca reer yesterday's election of a chair man for the Harrisburg city Demo cratic committee was one of the most entertaining. Until a short time be fore the committee met for organiza tion Werner was a candidate in full bloom with Charles B. McConkey, who is one of the closest to the McCor mick throne in Democratic affairs, fig uring as campaign manager. It was even suggested that Henry B. McCor mick, the new division boss, was in augurating his control of the machine by backing Werner and the Werner men were declaring that Warren Van- Dyke, secretary of the Democratic State committee, was one of the 3 3 who would vote for Werner. On the other hand, Howard Jones, the presi dent of the Central Democratic Club, was also a candidate in full flower and had with him a select band of men ex perienced In affairs. The Jones fac tion figured out that Werner could not get more than twelve votes and felt comfortable over the outcome. Maybe it was because some power in the Democratic councils—or treas ury—hero figured out that It would never do to have it known that a school Mysterious director was taking Power Put part in machine poli- Werner Out tics or maybe it was because some candi date did not want to have a candidate known to be favor able to him defeated for the honorary job of city chairman. Anyway, short ly before the meeting Jones was told that the Werner boom had blown up and that McConkey would make the speech seconding his nomination. The word went around that everyone was to deny that there had been any con test for the city chairmanship because a "complete harmony" story was scheduled for the morning rag of the Democracy. A mysterious power had exerted itself and all seemed serene. But when the election had been ac complished with one of Mr. McCon key's best speeches City Chairman Jones made a speech which informed the world that there had Jones Tells been a contest. This the World speech which is not re- Ali About It ferred to by the Pa triot this morning. It was in part: "I want to thank my friends for this honor. I want to thank . my friend, Mr. McConkey, for seconding my nom ination as well as my friend, Mr. Werner, for the magnanimity shown in withdrawing from the con test." Mr. Jones said that the coun try would adjust itself, thereby in forming the world that there was something not purely psychological wrong with affairs and that Candidate McCormick had a perfect right to un belt to win his election if he chose. The reference to Mr. McCormick's ex penses caused a smile of anticipation to creep over the faces of the commit teemen. The rest of the meeting was devoted to speeches during which j Jesse J. Lybarger hopped out of the Patriot's Forgettery and advertised the Telegraph's accuracy in political news by also admitting that there had been a contest. The remainder of Mr. Lybarger's speech was devoted to il literation and juggling with sesquipe dalian words. Another feature of the Patriot's story of the county meeting Is the lack of any mention of the detail of the remarks of Dr. D. W. Shaffner, one of the Shaffner candidates for the Leg- Speech Not islature from the see on Record ond district. The doc tor is one of the shout- ers for the machine and is one of the physicians of the board of poor directors, one of the adjuncts of the McCormick machine. The doc tor probably Intended to be humor ous, but his remarks were regarded as vulgar by many of those who heard him. The other candidates were very circumspect even in the stories that they told to amuse the members of the county committee. The straight forward, vigorous remarks of Herr Moeslein made the speech of Shaffner sound like an echo from an alley. Members of the committee in charge of the drafting of the platform for the Republican State campaign will meet in Philadel phia late to-day to commence their work. Committee The State chal r m a n to Hegin will preside and the Work To-day State candidates will attend. The first meet- ing is for the purpose of getting to gether on ideas and about the middle of next week another session Is like ly to be held. It is the idea of the committee to have copies of the pro posed platform in the hands of mem bers of the State committee for a week before the meeting of the State committee on July 15 at Philadelphia. That meeting is to be a notable af fair as the candidates will speak and Republicans from all over the State will attend. Apparently Congressman Palmer has not been keeping his ear as close to the ground as usual and is not well Informed on the gen eral opinion regarding Palmer Has the Democrjftic State Singular platform. Yesterday at Ideas Now Washington he made some interesting re marks to a correspon dent of the Philadelphia Ledger. He is quoted as follows: "Speaking about the action of Democratic committees, notably that of Northampton county In refusing to accept the Democratic platform declaration for local option Mr. Palmer said: 'This action does not affect the political situation. The platform was written by 120,000 Dem ocrats who voted for me and 100,000 who voted for McCormick. We an nounced wjiere we stood on the liquor question before the primary, and all that we did was to write this declara tion into the platform after having been indorsed by a majority vote of the , Democratic party. If any orgaaiza- tion disagrees with this plank on lo cal option it disagrees with a major ity of the Democratic party, and I still hope that majorities rule." " Washington, June 17.—Echoing his master in the White House to-day A. Mitchell Palmer, the Wilson selection for United States Sen- ator from Pennsyl vania said: "Penrose Palmer Is says business condi- a Political tlons in Pennsylvania Psychologist are bad. I. deny it. Times are not hard. True, business with the railroads is not what it should be and the steel business, which is so closely related to the railroads, is adversely affected, but this does not constitute hard times. "Reports coming to me from various parts of the State indicate that condi tions are steadily improving. If Pen rose expects to win through the inter vention of a panic he might as well give up. There is no panic here and none on the way." It is certain that Palmer is much disturbed over party dissension and the increasing anti-Democratic storm.

AN OHIO VIEW OF THE PIXCHOTS # (From the Cincinnati Times-Star) It Is obvious that Amos Pincho's "confidential" letter on Perkins was not given to the press with any In tentions of making things easier for the colonel. At the bottom of things the Pinchots are as wil das the little group of I. W. W. agitators who have been making things lively in New York these past few months. They take themselves very seriously, exaggerate their own importance in politics and are sure in the long run to bring more trouble than benefit to any cause they become associated with.

His loss is said to be represented by seven figures. SPOT CASH AT THE PRIMARIES [Philadelphia Bulletin.] The official reports of "expense ac counts" in the primary election can- ! vass show that many of the candi dates, senatorial, gubernatorial, con gressional, legislative and otherwise, either voluntarily distributed largesse on a highly liberal scale or were bled deeply and profusely. Political strikers, petty fat-friers, promoters of publicity and other spe cies of "workers" appear to have been well cared for by not only the Repub lican and Democratic rounders, but b> Republican and Democratic reformers, and even the virtuous heads, or, at least, the nominal heads, of the Pro gressive outfit in Pennsylvania were' engaged in providing for thrifty little boodlers who were hired to praisb ! them as "men of the hour." The uniform primary system does not seem thus far to have diminished the amount of money which is required in political campaigning, but. on the contrary, has increased it. Moreover, if the expense accounts of the spring election or trial heat are so heavy, what are they going to bo when the final heat Is run at the autiimn elec tion? Meanwhile, a man who Is poor or of moderate means and wants to go be fore the people for an office, has never found such an ambltlort quite so ex pensive as It Is now under complex systems of canvassing, nominating and electioneering that make him all but powerless on his own hook. r OAMIIARTIfia SHIRTS SIDES A SIDES * I [From the Telegraph.

ANTI-BUSINESS CRUSADE (Philadelphia Public Ledger) The Interests that are opposing the President's program are not secretive. Their protest has been openly regis tered' in every town of the country, onvention after convention has put itself on record. When business pro tests, the nation protests. It is public opinion which the President is de nouncing. responsible public opinion that is not quickly formed and cannot be intimidated. It will continue to de clare against hysterical legislation, against the anti-business crusade and against all the other impracticable and transcendental policies which have characterized the Administration and have been forced on this nation. "PSYCHOLOGICAL DEPRESSION" (Philadelphia Press) President Wilson is restive because of the evidence, that he cannot ignore, of the country's unfavorable business condition and he returned yesterday to the "psychological business depres sion" to which he introduced the country a few weeks ago. The con dition is still wholly an affair of the mind in his opinion and he insists that it is due to the "interests" trying to defeat his trust legislation. For the tlrst time in the history of the country business is denied the right of self-defense. If business men come personally or send representa tives to Congressmen in order to get some favorable consideration for their menaced business they are an "in sidious lobby." Tf they send letters and telegrams for the same purpose they arc denounced with no less em phasis. The trust measures are pushed because the President so *'ills it. As a result profound business depression continues all over the country which is made no less actual and damaging by being termed "psychological." A PITIFUL THING ( [New York Sun.] In his Flag Day speech at Washing ton Monday Mr. Wilson said: "Would it not be a pitiful thing ever to have to make apology and explanation of anything that we ever did under the leadership of this flag carried In the van?" A pitiful thing, indeed, and Mr. Bryan has been allowed to do It in the Colombian treaty.

WILSONISM THE PRESENT FAIL [Philadelphia Public Ledger.] Circulars are not responsible for the growing dissatisfaction. No pamphlets have been necessary to disgust the country with the fatuous Mexican policy. Telegrams have not made the tariff a failure as a depressant of high prices. Letters have not closed mills No. the country has spontaneously realized that patent-medicine reform is taking bread and butter out of the mouths of the people. It is the Presi dent who is the victim of psychology, a statesman whose conclusions result from failure to appreciate the true condition of affairs. There is nothing that will bring him to a realization ot the truth except an emphatic repudia tion of his policies in November, and that is Inevitable. WHY NOT ORGANIZE? (New York Sun) Why should not business men organ ize opposition to the President's anti trust program if they consider it dan gerous or even if they merely disliko It? Ts the "new freedom" entirely a onesided affair? The President himself and a large and organized support are agitating vigorously for this legislation. Cabinet officers, certain members of both Houses of Congress, uplifters In and out of office and sundry publication tn sist day in and day out on the benefi cence and the urgency of the drastic regulation of business. In the name of common sense and fair play, why not a combination of business interests? What can be more appropriate, more logical, more use ful? Must business alone be silent and supine when business interests are in volved in legislation? Why should not the President him self pay close heed to this business dissent from his plans? Why should he threaten to stay all summer In Washington to fight down business op position and force his program through despite the hostility of the business world? Does he mean it to be understood that he is at war with business and determined to crush it at any cost? NO CHANCE FOR DEMOCRATS The opposition will have to he split into seven or eight parts for the Democracy to win a national victory this November. Philadelphia Public. Ledger.
