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.

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.

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.

NEWS DISPATCHES
OF THE CIVIL WAR
[From the Telegraph, June 18. 1864.]
MAJOR STAHL WOUNDED
Martinsburg, W. Va., June 16.—Ma
jor General Stahl, of General Hunter's
Army of the Shenandoah, arrived here
this morning, via Beverly, West Vir
ginia, slightly wounded in the shoul
der, together with portions of his
staff.

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.

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. Debate was discouraged, hut
the argument for the passage of the
exception was that "we relieve that a
better class of men can be got for this
particular service" without the exami
nation.
As a matter of fact, the grounds
are strong for the opposito belief. 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.

. NOTHING WORRIES HIM
By \Vlni£ Dinner
I know a chap who's always smiles,
He's never In the dumps;
No matter if things all go wrong
He takes his little bumps.
Ho pitches in to turn things 'round
And once more set 'em right.
And every day comes out O. K.
Ere he goes home at night.
I asked him for the secret of
His constant, sunny smile.
He said: "I'm up at break of day.
Perhaps I'll trot a mile;
Or maybe go around the course.
Or knock out a few flies.
Just try It out—get up some morn
At dawn, and exercise."
"I think." said the editor, in a wor
ried tone, "that I will divop Journalism
and take to astronomy."
"Why?"
"Because astronomers have more
space than they know what to do with."
