IM> THURSDAY EVENING, JUNB 18 THE COLONEL'S YOTCE COLONEL ROOSEVELT'S friends in all parties will regret to learn that he is suffering with a serious throAt affection as a result of his strenuous campaigning heretofore and the attack of jungle fever from which he suffered in South America. There Is no more interesting figure in American life than the Colonel and "while his admirers do not always agree with his political opinions there are few who do not entertain for him great personal respect. His artaounce ment that he will be able to take little part in the campaign this year and that it will not be possible for him to do any public speaking for several months has caused much concern among his friends who hope his physical condition is not worse than the cable intimates. Colonel Roosevelt is a difficult pa tient to handle, especially when he scents the battle from afar, but the London dispatches state that he will follow the specialist's advice, although to do so means a material change in his campaign plans. This development in the campaign lineup will seriously interfere with the progress of the ultra-Progressives who banked upon Colonel Roosevelt almost entirely this year. One of them declared in New York last night that "the Colonel can't very well be asked to run for Governor, as the Progres sives would hardly ask a dumb man to go on the stump." It is believed, however, that Colonel Roosevelt will have sufficient voice left to protest against the surrender of the Wilson administration in the matter of the Colombia treaty and the apology which accompanies it, plus twenty-five million dollars in the way of salve for the wounded feelings of the official grafters of that section of the Isthmus. Nor is it likely that the Colonel will be so incapacitated as to be un able to express in some vigorous way his opinions of the milk-and-water diplomacy of the present administra tion at Washington. "Papa Has No Job Now." is the very appropriate title of a little leaflet which Congressman Benjamin K. Focht Is sending out to his constituents and to others who are overwhelmed by the en forced idleness of armies of willing working men. Multi-millionaires of the Pinchot and McCormick type may go up and down the State exuding theories and promulgating fantastic doctrines, but the common people are more inter ested just now in how to live than they are in reconstructing the universe. There is no longer anv Republi can party in this State—Harris burg Patriot. There is no sun. nor moon, nor stars. Psychology Is wonderful. COL. HUTCHISOVS PAPER HARRISBTTRG owes colonel Jos. B. Hutchison a vote of thanks for the very able manner in which he presented the Har risb. rg of to-day to the convention of police chiefs of the United States In session at Grand Rapids in the paper he read yesterday. Col. Hutchison gave the delegates a glimpse of his home city through the spectacles of the head of the local police depart ment —but not "as through a glass darkly." Indeed, his conclusions were remarkably well drawn and covered a wide angle of vision. Chief of Police Hutchison dwelt at some length on the social evil in Har risburg. He quoted facts, but he set up no theories. He showed how Har risburg's self-appointed vice district had been closed in a week—and has remained closed. It might be gath ered that Colonel Hutchison favors segregation, although he is careful to ■ay that he has arrived at no deci sion. He does say, however, that Har risburg has been "cleaned up" and is cleaner now than It used to be, and that is something. The open house of Ul-repute has been banished. The glare of staring temptation has been removed. The colonel If modest. He knows that he and his police force have done and are doing a splendid work for the city. He knows that their combined vigilance is making Harrisburg a safer, better place In which to live. THURSDAY EVENING, HARRISBUftG TELEGRAPH JUNE 18. 1914. In ridding the city of its vice ilens the police have set an example for other municipalities. In preventing their return they have demonstrated that it is possible for a city to exist without them and have proved that the police force of any city can be of more use in preventing crime than in detecting It. The Colonel need not worry over the doubtful problem of segregation. So lone as he and his officers keep Har risburg as free from the operations of commercialised vice as at present they will have done well enough to satisfy most people. Tilting at windmills, the Don Quixote of the White House rides for a hard fall. The question now naturally arises, who will pay that $12,000 note? BURYING THF. HAMMER ON the site of the proposed new rapid transit station in the heart of Paterson. X. J.. Mayor Fordyce and members of the Board of Trade yesterday carried out an elaborately arranged ceremony to mark the passing of "knocking" in Paterson. The chief feature of the program was the burial of "the ham mer" borne to its grave by six horses and followed "by a procession at the head of which were the chief mourn ers. "old pessimist." "chronic kicker" and "habitual grouch." each fashioned out of straw for distribution over the grave. That, we think, is about the mc.st worthwhile celebration we have noted since Tombstone. Col., formally opened Its cemetery for horse thieves. We don't like to admit it, but due regard for truth forces the observa tion that Harrisburg might well take the advice to "go thou and do like wise." There are some folks in Har risburg badly in need of a lesson of that kind. The hammers are clanging on the anvils of these "knockers" twenty four hours of every day. The Presi dent's "psychological depression" has no eitect on their activities. Business is always brisk for "old pessimist" and "habitual grouch." Nobody is good in their eyes, ex cept themselves and there are dark moments when they have grave doubts as to their own honesty. Noth ing is right, everything is going to the "bow-wows" and wrong rides ram pant over prostrate virtue. Their only contribution to the public wel fare is the money eventually put into general circulation by the payment of their funeral expenses. We are very much of the opinion that Paterson would have done a bet ter stroke of work had it buried "old grouch" and "chronic kicker" In the same grave with the bludgeon they have so long loved to wield. Veterans of the First City Zouaves and City Grays will assemble about the banquet board at the Armory this even ing. Former members of these two famous commands will foregather for an evening of pleasant reunion, and all will wish for the soldiers of another day a pleasant season of reminiscence and good fellowship. LETTER CARRIERS' PENSIONS THE announced intention of Sen ators Penrose and Oliver to vote for the bill to provide gov- ernment pensions for letter car riers will no doubt meet with popular approval. There is no more difficult or trying work than that of the "mail man." Out in all kinds of weather, carrying a thousand letters in his sack and a thousand addresses in his head, his labor is both of the body and the mind. And he must make no mis takes —Uncle Sam is a severe task master; he will brook no errors. The letter carrier gives his best years to the service, and he cannot follow his calling beyond a certain age. Cer tainly the government owes every man who grows old in its harness the wherewithal to live comfortably the remainder of his span of life—and es pecially where the pay is no higher than that of the carriers. WANTED—COMMOX SENSE That was rather a remarkable address which the eloquent James M. Beck delivered at the unveiling of a statue of Ben jamin Franklin at the University of Pennsylvania this week. Two para graphs from his scholarly analysis of Franklin and his work are espe cially striking, as follows: He accomplished all he did by his freedom from intellectual conven tionality and his sustained and In telligent application of common sense to the problems that con fronted him. This is not onlv a rarer but a higher gift than many suspect. Common sense is the In stinctive appreciation of the nice relation which things bear to each other,, without which the most learned man may be. like King James, justly characterized as "the wisest fool in Christendom." With common sense a man who, like Franklin, has but a meager educa tion and whose learning has been distributed—in this day of speciali zation we would say dissipated over an almost infinite field of thought may yet accomplish verit able miracles. Oh for a breath of Franklin's sanity and common sense in this hysterical generation, when the whole world seems topsyturvy, when many classes are In revolt against the institutions which make for stability, when women are growing- masculine in the frenzied and violent advocacy of new priv ileges and men are becoming femi nine in submitting to intolerable wrongs, when the councils of men are darkened with vain imaginings and legislators, administrators and alas! even judges are fleeing in ab ject cowardice before the rising dust of an advancing windstorm, r ranklin had too keen a sense of humor to be swept away by such hysteria and he had too fine a sense of justice to accept the present dav cowardly surrender of principle to political expediency. If he had been able, as he humorously hoped to float in a state of suspended anima tion in a cask of Madeira for more than a century and then revisit th» scene of his achievements, what would not be his .amazement ad miration and, we must add, disgust? Should Franklin and Lincoln and other great men of the past return to earth, what would be their amaze ment over the spectacle presented by the little men of the country who are now for a brief period permitted to demonstrate their unfitness for gov ernment and their lack of that strong element so necessary in a country URe ours—common sense. j EVENING CHAn Hoffman's woods is commencing to come into its own again, week there were a couple of picnics held under the shade of its lofty trees anil yesterday half u dozen bands of young sters were to be seen enjoying "tea party on the grassy places, while in the upper end a band of Boy Scouts kept watch and ward against any in vasion of Indians from Susquehanna township with a detail in charge of their camp fire and others carefully exploring the slope toward the river. A few weeks ago the low-lying portion of the woods was overflowed by drain age from nearby land and there was an abundance of small turtles, who were in turn succeeded by bullfrogs with line bass voices. Yesterday the water had evaporated or soaked into the earth and a bunch of blackbirds was engaged in digging in the mud for worms. If the woods could bo ac quired by purchase or lease by the city and drained it would not only do away with a choice breeding ground for mosquitoes but furnish a delightful place for children to play in safety, providing, of course, the gypsy camps were kept away. The trees with a little attention could be made to last for years to come instead of being ; allowed to go to pieces and to be damaged by every storni because dead limbs are not removed. Not much attention has been paid by Harrisburg people to a series of conferences that has been going on at the State Department of Labor and Industry the last two months, but they are of the utmost impor tance. ultimately, to many hundreds of thousands of workers In the state. These conferences are being held by employers and employes, together with State officials and insurance men. with a view to getting down to a standard of safety. In other words, it is the idea to get certain definite rules of safety, for the guard ing of machinery, the construction of buildings and the sanitary conditions so that they will rule throughout the trades. It is a gigantic task, but it is being worked out. slowly, but with ex cellent prospects of success. The display of crimson ramblers on the homes of people about the city is well worth noting as one rides or walks along. There is hardly a section of the city where this beautiful rose of summer time does not grow and the number of blooms to be seen now is remarkable. Up in North Second, out State, out Derry and in many other streets there are porches covered by the climbing rose, which is in all its glory of coloring now. Speaking about flowers, the wild roses on the grass plots in State street east of Thirteenth are well worth noting, too. These bushes were plant ed when the public improvements be gan to spread to that part of the city and they are so high now that the flowers bloom within a few inches of the car windows as they speed between the shrubbery. The street is one of the prettiest spots in Harrisburg. The city highway department has made up its mind that it will not be bothered with the rush of water from the hillside streets to Derrv street anv longer and advantage is being taken of the paving of the old pike east of Eighteenth street to put in large catch basins. Those bnsins. which are gen era 11 y called sewers, are considerably larger than the ordinary basins and will care for the heavy drainage of water which runs down into Derrv street during storms and washes dirt all over the streets. William Theurer. of Oil City, assist a?t„Re.li?ral a scnt of the State Board or Public Charities.-was here to-day. He is m charge of the work of the board in Western Pennsylvania and spent a few hours here on his way to < arlisle to arrange for the meeting of the poor directors of the state, of hose association he is a member. Mayor Ira W. Stratton, of Reading, was a prominent figure here yesterday. He came to attend the meeting of municipalities and was inclined to be somewhat severe on the public utilities law and its operation toward munici palities. Among the bequests announced a tew days ago at Princeton University was SIO,OOO from Judge Nathaniel Ewing. president of the Public Service c ommission. Judge Ewing came of a family of Princeton men and seldom failed to return for commencement or to attend the big football games. Samuel Rea, the president of the Pennsyhani Railroad, who was here yesterday for the hearing on the North f™ Central lease, took a look about the station just before he went to his train. Mr. Rea is well remembered by many Harrisburgers and although his hair is white he is as full of energv as of yore and his handshake is as hearty as ever. I WELL KNOWN PEOPLE ] —Jesse T.

A MILLION TO GO A LONG WAY [From the Johnstown Leader] The State Highway Department, through the courts, has released sl,l 028,665 in automobile licenses from the clutches of the State Treasurer. Work which should have been done long ago, and which would probably have saved to the State more than the amount now available, will now be done. Highway Commissioner Bige low has the necessary forces of men and plenty of machinery and material But he also has 9,000 miles of State highways on which to repair the broken places, clean out the gutters, fix the drains and culverts and scrape the roadway. Those who expect the Highway Commissioner to build new roads at SIOO a mile are bound to be disappointed.

SIM LOIN 111 EXPENSE ICCOIT Interesting Item Reported on by the Palmer-McCormick State Campaign Committee COMMITTEE HAD $21,000 That Market Street Banner Cost $l6O to Paint and Swing Over the Asphalt Not only did the McCormlck cam paign for the Democratic nomination for Governor make a new standard for primary expenses, but it has brought to light a unique way of financing a campaign under the recent State acts. This is by means of a loan. The sup position is that men who make loans expect to be reimbursed. Vance C. McCormick's expense ac count showed that he spent $33,000 or "so, the bulk coming from his personal funds. The expense account of the Palmer-McCormick State campaign committee, tiled at the Capitol late last night, shows that the committee collected $21,698.15. Candidate McCor mlck is credited with contributing SI,OOO to the fund, although 11' we re member aright his expense account showed that he had given $2,000. This may be an error in transcribing. Di vision Boss Henry B. McCormick con tributed SI,OOO, but also turns up as one of the eight men who loaned $12,000 to the state committee. The McCormick campaign, which had Palmer hitched to it, is thus stated to have cost $54,000. And the bulk of it was put up by McCormick or those close to him. So much for money In politics. A loan of $12,000 made by E. L. Humes, United States district attorney for Western Pennsylvania; Henry B. McCormick. F. M. So man, Jr., Joseph F. Guf- fey, James I. Blakslee, Details of Third Assistant Postmas- Interesting ter General; Bruce Ster- statement ling. Democratic leader of Fayette; Roland S. Morris, Democratic State chairman, and Warren Van Dyke, secretary of the Democratic State committee, fig ures among the $21,688.15 of receipts of the Palmer-McCormick State cam paign committee, put on Hie at the Capitol late yesterday. Where the loan was negotiated is not set forth and neither is it said whether it has been paid. The committee spent $21,155.12. About forty men are con tributors. McCormick and his brother and Samuel S. Fels each gave $1,000; George W. Norrls, of Philadelphia, gave SSOO, and A. Mitchell Palmer S4OO. John Welker and T. J. Keenan gave S3OO, A. M. Thompson and Cor nelius Haggerty $250, while the S2OO class is made up of W. B. Rogers, T. 11. Given and H. H. McClintic, the fol lowing having given SIOO each: D. W. Pearsall, M. W. O'Boyle, P. J. Kee-nan, W. D. George, Lawrence C. Wadds, \V. J. Crittenden, George Heard, R. F. Devine, W. Casson, F. F. Kane (who had his returned ,to him), W. A. Glasgow, Jr.. H. Buhl, Jr., P. R. Dil lon. John K. Royal, E. J. Lynett, James McCormick, S. F. Laueks, Harrison Nesbit, Robert Toland. W. H. S. Thompson. The $l5O class was com posed of Robert McCormick, R. S. Bright, B. G. Stewart, D. G. Stewart, W. H. Thompson, while Walter K. Sharpe gave $125. There were a num ber of smaller givers. The traveling expenses were sl,- 171.70; Palmer drew $2,030.17 for his campaign and Wilson Bailey, the "fis cal agent," about SI,BOO for various expenses. Lackawanna got $1,200 for its Palmer-McCorinick committee and Philadelphia was split into wards. The Pa-Me League of Harrisburg spent $l6O for the banner swinging over Market street and bearing the pictures of Candidates Pal mer and McCormick Banner's painted on a day when Cost Is they were not feeling well. Revealed There has been much curi- osity about the city as to what remuneration the future Rembrandt who executed th& medallions received for his work and also by what mental processes he con cluded to put McCormick's name above that of Palmer on a banner dedicated to the Palmer-McCormick League. The funds of the committee are accounted for in a statement tiled in the Capitol last night. The league got $563.59 and spent every copper. Vance C. McCormick gave S2OO and the obliging treasurer of the Palmer-McCormick State committee sent $355.14. Division Boss McCormick gave $5.45, presum ably to meet a deficit. The bulk of the money went for watchers, who were paid from $2 to $5. The Cum berland rate is said to have been $lO and up in Clinton county they paid a man $6 for "hiring watchers." There was gloom in the camp of the Washington party in this cltv to-dav over the news that the Colonel's throat would not per mit him taking part in Bull Moosers the campaign this vear. Gloomy Over It was taken to mean the Colonel by the leading Bull Moosers that there would be no Roosevelt speeches in Pennsylvania this Fall and that consequently there would be a lack of interest on the part of the men who have been bolstering up the party. The local Progressives are now won dering whether the Colonel will get to the. Pittsburgh conference on June 30. A meeting of the committeemen to se lect a city chairman will be held soon. Mutterings over the manner in which "complete harmony" was secured at the meeting of the Democratic city committee on Tuesday were heard among the Democrats In the city Werner Is to-day and there were Wondering some who were inclined How He Fell n. i>e critical of what they termed "letting Fritchey and Stucker put one over" in the election of Jones. School Director Werner is reported to be not exactly clear yet about the way he happened to be taken out of the race for city chairman when he thought that his friends had corralled 33 votes. Jones' friends are jubilant and are declaring that It was a victory the liberal minded Democrats and that It gave the bosses of the machine just the kind of lesson they needed to show that they may be at the throttle but cannot have everything their own way.

OFFICER BIRNEY DIES Washington, J\me 18.— Late news from Charleston states that we are again hanging away at Charleston. Captain Birney, late of General Bir ney's staff, died here yesterday. His body will be embalmed and sent north. C. H. GRAFFEN. THE SERVANT OF THE NATIONS [New York Sun] The President continues this great task of dedicating the United States to the service of mankind in peace, war and that intermediate state of bellipax, so to speak, which he in vented for use at Vera Cruz and other Mexican neighborhood settlements. In his speech at Washington on flag day he traced, according to his ideas, the "historic significance" of the Ameri can flag in the past. Then ha fore told its meaning in the future: "This flag of the future is meant to stand for just use of undisputed na tional power. No nation is ever going to doubt our power to assert our rights, and we should lay it to heart that no nation shall ever henceforth doubt our purpose to put it to the best use to which a great emblem of jus tice and government can be put. "Henceforth to stand for self-pos session, for dignity, for the assertion of right of one nation to serve the other nations of the world —an em blem that will rot be used for self aggrandizement, that is too great to be debased by selfishness, that has vin dicated its rights to be honored by all the nations of the world and fear ed by none who do right." In the future the United States is to serve other nations, not itself. It will be feared only by the unrighte ous nations. Are there any others? "Henceforth" the righteous national purpose shall not be doubted by other governments. Mr, Wilson took a census of believers in the righteous purpose'of the United States at pres ent, how many of them would he find in Central and South America? There must be coming a general conviction of sin ,a national and international change of heart. We wonder if it will get here before the November elections. We can find nothing in the Consti tution dedicating the country to the service of mankind or to altruism. A VOTE FOR SPOII/S [From the Pittsburgh Dispatch] By a vote of 27 to 24, with 44 Sena tors not voting, the Senate the other day retained in the legislative and ju dicial appropriation the words "with out examination under the Civil Ser vice rules," with reference to the ap pointment of "commercial attaches." This is a new class of officials to be sent abroad to work for the extension of our commerce. This action is another example of the disposition of a majority of the representatives of the leading party in Congress to make holes in the Civil Service reform rules, where it can be done without attracting too much at tention.

The purpose of the provision ts to follow the example of Germany, whose suc cess in spreading her foreign trade is of world-wide fame; and one of Ger many's iirst requisites for entering that service is a strenuous examina tion. As a matter of fact, the most powerful motive for the vote of the majority was to provide places for gentlemen of Democratic faith who are likely otherwise to go unplaced. With regard to nearly half of the Senators who failed to vote, the prob ability is that if their votes had been needed the affirmative vote would have been swelled as required. | OUR DAM Slie \V«a Wlae Ye*, ludeed!
