Bell Private Branch Exchange No. 204#. United Business Office, 203. Bdltortal Room 585. Job Dept. Ml TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 28 SWOLLEN FORTUNES THE estate of Thomas Dolan, former president of the United- Gas Improvement Company, which has been estimated at from 120,000,000 to $30,000,000, is bequeathed to his widow, his sons and their descendants. Not one cent is left to charity; not one cent goes to the benefit of the public; not one penny to any one of the faithful employes without the aid of whom the gas mag nate would have found it impossible to have accumulated his millions. When will our Dolans learn that they are not the owners of the vast estates that have come under their direction, but merely the stewards thereof. The "swollen fortune" has been held up as one of the great perils of the Republic. It is not so except when improperly administered. Ac cumulated wealth can be made one of the greatest blessings of mankind. But those into whose possession it has «?ome must understand that it is not theirs to horde up indefinitely. It is not theirs to do with as they will. But it becomes their duty to use the tal ents that have been entrusted to their care for the betterment of the living conditions of the less fortunate and the advancement of civilization. No family needs the income of 530,000,000 for its living expenses. But humanity at large does need that money in a thousand different helpful ways. No true American can have any ob jection to a man making money legiti mately, even in enormous quantities, but the time is fast approaching when an enlightened people will demand of the possessors of great fortunes a proper stewardship of the responsi bilities that have been entrusted to them. The West End Democrats are going to spend a week in camp. Getting hardened, we suppose, for that isalt River Trip. HERE AND ABROAD PRESIDENT WILSON tries to meet the charge that he and his fel low Democrats are ruining busi ness in the United States by the program of experimental legislation they have forced on the nation by re plying that the stagnation of trade is not confined to this country, but is world-wide. This is true, but the President is careful not to inform the people of what he must know, that this stagna tion abroad is due to the s~me cause > —too many laws of the kind that un settle trade. In England business has been de pressed for several years by a scries of radical laws. Trade has become so unsettled that a few months ago 4he governors of the Bank of England, for the first time in the history of that institution, addressed a protest to the government. German trade has not recovered from the staggering blow of a special ■war tax of $250,000,000 which was levied last year, no one knows why. France and other countries are de pressed by financial ditficulties grow ing out of the political troubles inci dent to the Balkan war. Brazil is going through a period of liquidation and acute buslnc ,s depres sion, paying the penalty for a wild ex periment in legislation. The govern ment tried to regulate the price of coffee, so as to make the crop more profitable to the planters. The scheme of "valorization" or government regu lation of the price was proved a fail ure and a large stock 01 coffee must be disposed of. The root of the trouble in Mexico la that the country has broken down under the burdens of the "cientiflco" system of legislation, the futile attempt of former President Diaz to make the country prosperous by schemes promoted by the government. .Aus tralia and New Zealand have their own peculiar troubles, and even Canada has "crowing pains" as a result of too much government booming of the northwest. In our own country we have had a tremendous output of legislation in the past year. A tariff system which TUESDAY EVENING, I had stood for forty years has been j overturned, the currency system has I been revolutionized, and Congress Is working on a large grist of new laws to regulate business. We are paying the penalty with more acute depression than appears in any other country. The railroads i are in distress through loss of reve nue, and half the Industries of the country are running on short time, leaving millions of people out of em ployment. President Cleveland forced through Congress two revolutionary measures j in a little more than a year, a money j law and the Wilson-Gorman tariff. The business of the country was para,,- lyzed by the shock and did not recover until after Cleveland had retired from office. President Wilson has forced through Congress a far more radical revision of the tariff than was attempted twen ty years ago, and a money law scarcely second in Importance to the Cleve land measure of 1893. In January trade seemed on the way to reeovar from these radical surgical opera tions, but the improvement did not last, and the trade depression has be come more acute in the past few months, in the face of prospects for j large crops. j The patient has had a relapse be cause Congress has proved a surgeon who doesn't know when to stop. The instruments are being sharpened for another series of operations on the helpless business man, before he has had time to get on his feet and re cover his strength. Business is para lyzed and millions of people are suf fering the flinch of want in the midst of plenty, because the fanatical sur geons don't know when to go home and give nature and the nurses a chance. Kansas is always In trouble. Some time ago It was no crops, and now it Is crops too big to be harvested. WHY PROTECTION ? NOTWITHSTANDING an apparent belief in certain quarters that employers are bent on getting from their employes a maximum of work at a minimum of cost, the average man who hires labor desires to pay his help just as well as a rea sonable profit on the money invested will permit. Of course, there are ex ceptions to this, but they are excep tions. and by no means the rule. With this thought in mind the Pennsylvania Protective Union calls the attention of the public again as to one of the chief reasons why it wants the protective tariff restored. Its members can't con tinue to meet the cheap-labor compe tition of Europe without cutting wages and they don't want to do that any more than they want to cut dividends. In setting forth its position the Union presents several tables showing hourly wages in the cotton mills of the United States to be all the way from 30 to 120 per cent, higher than in the mills of England. In its discussion of the woolen schedule it shows wool sorters receiv ing sl6 in the United States as against SB.BI in England; laborers, $9 to sl2 in the United States as against $4.91 in England; wool scourers, $lO as against $6.13; wool driers, $9.50 as against $4.91; comb jobbers, $lO as aaginst $5.89; drawing-frame tenders, $7 as against $3.07; doffers, $4.50 as against $2.45; warp twisters, sls as against $8.58; stationary engineers, $13.50 as against $6.86; machinists, sl6 as against $7.85; carpenters and joiners, sl6 as against $8.09, and blacksmiths, sl6 as against $7.85. Three tables, each making a compari son of the earnings of one English mill and one American mill, manu facturing the same class of goods, based on actual payrolls, for a week of 56 hours, show that the average wage of all workers in the woolen mills of the United States is consid erably more than twice the average wage of the same workers in England. In the hosiery industry 'the Ameri can average wage is more than three times as much as the average wage in | Germany. Certainly, there can be no doubt in these instances that American protec tion does find its way into the wage envelopes and that any free trade effort to put the industries of the world on a common level must be paid for out of the wage envelopes of American workers. The Standard Oil has Just lost another suit with the Government. Look out for a raise in gasoline. "AMERICANIZING" CANADA THE London Times warns the British government against what it terms the "rapid American ization of Canada." It is point ed out that the news that fills the American newspapers takes the same proportion in the Canadian press, and Mexico bulks larger than Ulster. Baseball has become the popular game. "International" leagues for sport, "international" unions for la bor bring Americans and Canadians together. The American magazines, carrying American advertisements, spread American ideas of life and make American openings for trade. The Canadian picture palaces are sup plied with films manufactured in the United States, presenting American themes and glorifying the Stars and Stripes, while *English films are con spicuous by their absence. The re sult, if these conditions are perma nent, can only be a steady drift of the Canadian mind away from the prac tices and traditions of the Mother Country, the Times concludes. Notwithstanding all that the Times may say or all that England may do, the "Americanization" of Canada will continue. Whether or not the great Canadian empire ever becomes a part of the United States is a question in which few people in the United States are interested. But Canada is na turally more American than English and the rapid colonization of her va cantgiands by citizens of the United States and the steady breaking down of the Imaginary line between the two countries will proceed regardless of anything anybody may do. EVENING CHAT I Just 101 members of the last House of Representatives have been renomi nated for tha session of 1916, accord ing: to the returns of the May primary for nomination of legislative candi dates, which are being recorded at the department of the Secretary of the Commonwealth. About a dozen others fell by the wayside and the remainder decided not to stand for the House again, a few becoming senatorial can didates. Thirty of the 101 are Demo crats and sixteen who served in the last House are on the Washington ticket. Fate, however, played some tricks with some of the legislators of 1913. Hugh Piper, or Philadelphia, for instance, is only on the Neystone ticket this year, while C. F. Gramley, of Center, who was elected as a Re publican last time, is only on the Pro hibition ticket, while Augustine P. Connift', of Luzerne, a prominent Democratic member in 1913, appears to have been nominated on the Repub lican ticket, although a candidate on others. W. Lloyd Claycomb, of Al toona, who was rated as a Democrat in 1913, is named on the Washington ticket and John Robert Jones, of Schuylkill, is on the Washington and Prohibition tickets, but not on the Re publican, on which he ran in 1910 and 1912. Five members of the 1911 House are candidates again. They are James F. Woodward, chairman of the appropriations committee, and John Swan, Jr., Allegheny, Republicans; Da vid Speer, Franklin, Washington; Jo seph B. Ramsey, Potter, Democrat, ana H. I. Wilson, Jefferson, Repub lican. A. B. Garner, who was a mem fr°ni Schuylkill in the sessions of 1901, 1903, 1905, 1906 and 1907, and then went to Congress, ran again in Schuylkill for the House, while J. ?«w»l I °' Union, a member in 1909, is a Republican candidate in his county. About the same proportion of members of the House of 1911 were candidates for election to the House of 1913, but the unusual political con ditions brought about the election of a House with a larger percentage of members new to legislative halls than known in years. Letters from John S. Musser, How aliiL T ry an( * Harry Bruaw, who, with their wives, left here on June 12 for Houston, Texas, to attend the an nual International convention of Ro tary Clubs, announce their safe ar rival in that city. They went by boat to New Orleans and although the weather was warm report a very pleas ant voyage, the ocean being so calm that none of the party became seasick. They will attend the convention this week and make a tour of Texas cities, returning by rail and arriving in Har risburg July 3 or 4. All of the Har risburg delegates are in good health and thoroughly enjoyed the>run south. On the boat with them were Rotarians from many eastern cities, Canada and England. The Houston convention will be the largest in the history of the organization. James M. Swank, the historian of the iron business of America, was well known to many residents of this city, which ho frequently visited In his younger days. Mr. Swank was known to many here as an editor in Johns town before the Civil War and when he accepted the place of secretarv of the congressional committee on manu factures he at once took an active in terest in the iron and steel business, the backbone of Pennsylvania's pros perity. In 1872 he became connected with the American Iron and Steel As sociation and appeared here from time to time before legislative committees. Mr. Swank's researches into the his tory of the iron business In this section ot Pennsylvania, once one of the lead ers in the business, established the fact that blister steel was made at Mlddletown long before steel was made in any other place in the State and he listed every blast furnace and forge that was operated hereabouts. National guardsmen here are keenly interested in the pltfn of General W. G. Price to have advance details go to Mount Gretna to set up the tents for the First Brigade. General Price had this work done by the men as a part of the training, but found that it took up so much time and detracted so much from the instruction that he has decided to return to it. This is a mat ter of brigade regulation and what will be done about the Eighth Infantry will depend upon what General James B. Coryell decides. The announcement that Republican and Democratic leaders do not con template an early start of the cam paign did not fall on appreciative ears among a group gathered along the river front yesterday afternoon. The group seemed to be made up of members of the Sons of Rest and they were discussing features of the cam paign that promised much. .Suddenly one found an item announcing that Congressman Palmer did not favor a start of the campaign until September 1. He marked the item with a stub of pencil and passed it along. No one said anything, but when the last man made a ball of the paper and threw it over the river bank there was no objection. I WELL KNOWN PEOPLE 1 —William D. Grimes, Pittsburgh at torney, has heen elected president of the noted Duquesne Fishing Club. —The Rev. B.

DEMOCRATIC TRICKERY [Philadelphia Press.] The Democratic State platform is both false and malicious in many parts, but nowhere more false and ma licious than where it charges that Pennsylvania has been made "the most conspicuous example of misgovern ment in all the Union." It is only the Democratic platform makers who find Pennsylvania "the most conspicuous example of mlsgov ernment in all the Union," and they only for campaign purposes. Such ac cusations do violence to the facts and are an affront to the Intelligence and judgment of the people, f IN HARRIS BURG FIFTY YEARS AGO TO-DAY [From the Telegraph of June 23, 1864.] Redrrilcate Church We would again remind our readers that the rededicatlon of the Ridge Ave nue M.

And It did It when the "Big Pour" was right In its midst. Here is a resume of the way the Democracy of Philadelphia showed its lack of sympathy with the State ma chine: Endorsed the State tickets, did not Invite the candidates, who were within a few blocks, to address it. Refused to even consider a reso lution endorsing the platform, thereby repudiating that document. Re-elected B. Gordon Bromley, the city chairman who had worked for Ryan's nomination. Decided against contests brought by four Palmer men, including one of Thornton's ward leaders. Jeered when a McCormick man threatened to have the bosses name a new city committee for Philadelphia. The Bull Moosers are all fussed up over the Colonel. In Philadelphia and Pittsburgh the bosses are proclaiming that there is no doubt whatsoever about the ""11 Mnowrs Colonel being on hand Art* Greatly at the conference next Disturbed week and that his larynx will permit ot many speeches. George F. Holmes said in Philadelphia last night that the Colonel would give the keynote for the campaign and that he would be in the campaign for fair. State Chairman Detrich, who has been racing with a bunch of baby firecrack ers for honors as a noise maker, was given a bat yesterday by Senator McNichol, who said that Detrich should go to Pittsburgh to find out how he thinks. Detrich has assailed everyone from Penrose» and Brum baugh down the ticket and every head of a department on Capitol Hill. President-Chairman Howard Jones does not intend to be a figurehead this Fall. He is president of the leading Democratic club and chairman of the city committee and was he Jones Says not treasurer of the citi- He Will Be zens committee in the a Chairman late primary campaign? He regards his office as of significance and indeed of "vital im portance," notwithstanding the re marks of one of the drummer boys of the Pa-Mc League. The president chairman is said to have remarked the other evening that he proposed to he a factor in the campaign no matter what the leaguers thought about it and that he would show the Democrats what a real live chairman looks like. The virus of fighting appears to have taken a new lease of life among Demo crats here. The Philadelphia Ledger to-day says: "The official tabular statement of the vote for congressmen-at-large in the primaries of May 19 is not an encouraging document for the con- No Comfort temptation of Demo- for Machine crats. No question of Democracy Penroseism is involved, and the man who leads the Republicans in the number of votes cast was as a member of the 1913 Legislature recognized as the most conspicuous and assertive of anti machine representatives. There were ten Republican candidates for the nomination, and as the vote was dis tributed among these according to no rule, it- is hard to say just how many Republicans voted for particular fa vorites, each having a right to desig nate four. The figures reveal one thing, however, very forcefully, and that is that approximately the same number of Republicans voted for can didates for the nomination for Con gress-at-large that voted for candidates for the nomination for United States senator; and It reveals something more. It shows that thousands of voters who refused to accept Penrose did not recognize any of the aspirants for the House as identified' with him and his cause to any decided extent."

Then the members of the city's thirteen volun teer companies and their friends, about 4,000 of them, signed the required pe tition to have the question submitted to a vote of the people.

I think same would be a grand undertaking; they should close all drug stores, cigar stores, restau rants, dlningrooms, ice cream parlors, automobile garages, telephone ex changes; stop all street car traffic, shut down the electric light and steel plants so all classes of laboring folks can go to church and honor the Sab bath.

THE FOOL AND HIS MONEY [From the Editor and Publisher.] As will be seen elsewhere In this Is sue the Asbury Park Times, a daily newspaper established last Fall by a group of business men of that city, in cluding the head of its largest depart ment store, is to quit the field. Ac cording to the statement issued by the board of directors the Indebtedness above the assets Is not large, but the board declares that because of tho Im possibility of longer financing the en terprise they advise the winding up of its affairs.

They said that few dally papers pay expenses the first year even In a favorable field. In Asbury Park the dally would have to meet the com petition of an old and well established newspaper, and, therefore, time would be required to put It on its feet. This advice was not taken. The merchants who organized the company believed they knew more about the matter than the newspapermen and went ahead with the project. After having: put much less than $60,000 Into the Times they now admit that the paper is a failure and that they can no longer supply funds for carrying it on. The backers of the Asbury Park Times are wiser than they were, and doubtless when, In the future, some one comes along seeking for contributions for the starting of another daily they will keep a firm grip on their bank rolls. Their experience has been the same as that of many others who have been anxious to pose as newspaper pub lishers. It takes something besides a grouch against existing newspapers to warrant the launching of a daily or weekly that Is to be successful. (1) There must bo a real need for such a paper and not one that has been artificially created. (2) The paper must be edited and pub lished by experienced Journalists and not by amateurs, barbers, storekeepers or city officials. (3) It must be run for the entire community and not for any one part of it. (4) It must have in bank, and not merely pledge on a sub scription paper, a sufficient amount of money to pay all bills for one year, preferably for two. Every one of the above needs is ab solutely necessary. True, there have been newspapers that were started on a shoe string and won out, but they were the exceptions that prove the rule.
