A RIDICULOUS POSITION
RESIDENT WILSON'S peevish
P denunciation of the business
men's protest against further
nagging by Congress has brought
Sown upon him the criticism of most
*>f the independent newspapers and
Influential leaders of the country.
Many of the strong newspapers of the
Democratic press have likewise sug
gested that he went beyond decent
bounds in criticising those who had a
right to object to his program In Con-
Cress.
Calling a halt upon attacks on busi
ness and the prosperity of the nation
Is neither unpatriotic nor unreason
able. It is the right of the people
under our form of government to pe
tition Congress at any time and Presi
dent Wilson cannot arrogate to him
self the powers of a dictator or an all
wise ruler. He is human like the rest
of us and must expect criticism of his
errors, especially as In this way only
can the people bring him to a realiza
tion of what he is doing.
Manufactured sentiment would have
no permanent Influence upon the
President or Congress, but there can
be no argument as to the importance
of listening to and heeding the ap
peals of those who are In position to
understand better than the adminis
tration politicians what is inyolved in
a continuance of the hectoring of
business through ill-digested and un
wise legislation.
What the United States needs most
Is a rest from the bombardment of
theoretical legislation and restrictive
frulings tending to discourage business
activity and expansion. There ought
to be some limit to the legislative and
administrative program to the end
that confidence may be restored and
prosperity invited.
Manifestly the President has been
hearing from the more level-headed
men who get his ear as to the un
wisdom of his course in charging
"conspiracy" against the important in
terests of the country which have ap
pealed to Washington for a respite
from the constant assaults upon busi
ness of every class —big and little.
Surely business men have the same
right to appeal to Congress with peti
tions and letters and telegrams as
•those thick and thin supporters of the
Administration who are advised by
Secretary Bryan in his newspaper to
deluge Congress with telegrams urging
eupport of the President's policies.
Apparently, however, it makes all |
the difference In the world whose ox is
gored in the attitude of the Washing
ton Administration. Every little
•whipper-snapper newspaper support
ing the Washington Administration
takes the position that the President
can do no wrong, just as accidental
leaders like Palmer and McCormick
In Pennsylvania insist that their spon
ger In the White House shall have the
acclaim of the multitude when his
thumbs are up or down.
There will be a bumper wheat crop
In Pennsylvania, according to a state
ment of Secretary of Agriculture
Critchfleld, and there is also prospect
of a large fruit crop. A kind Provi
dence is certainly overruling for the
welfare of the people the blunders and
persistent blindness of the present
dynasty at Washington.
THE "HONOR MAN"
MUCH is being made by the
newspapers during these high
school and college commence
ment days of the "honor men"
of the graduating classes. Brilliant
euccess always does attract attention
and it is right and proper that the
brightest student should receive due
praise. But the fact remains that
the valedictorian of graduation day
frequently falls to maintain his pace
» * leadership and in many, many in
stances the big rewards of afterlife
go, If not to the tailenders, at least
to some boy or girl not especially
noted for scholarly attainments while
in school.
Budgell, co-writer with Steele and
Addison, in the Spectator, notes this
fact.
He was acquainted with two men,
he says, "one of whom was not only
SATURDAY EVENING, , HARRISBURG I&Sfj£b TELEGRAPH JUNE 27, 1914.
thought an impenetrable blockhead at
school, but still maintained his repu
tation at the university; the other was
the pride of his master, and the most
celebrated person in the college of
which he was a member." Yet the
man of parts was buried in an ob
scure country charge at an annual
salary of SBOO, while the "blockhead"
in the space of a few years accumu
lated for himself a large fortune and
became one of the leading men of his
country.
As it Was then, so it is now. Hu
man nature doesn't change much In a
century or two. The law of compen
sation has its own way of bringing
about the equation that constitute#
each human life, and at all events
the scholar is often too much .wedded
to his books to take time to apply to
practical things the knowledge he <
has so laboriously acquired. "The first
shall be last, and the last shall be
first," does not always apply, but quite
frequently enough to make It the
rule rather than the exception.
The administration has gravely de
manded an explanation of Huerta con
cerning the deaths of two Americans
in Mexico. Some folks can be excruci- i
atlngly funny without knowing It
themselves.
ROAD REPAIRS
THE cost of finding out whether
Auditor General Powell is right
in withholding payment of au
tomobile license funds for road
repairing expenses is far greater than
most people realize.
Road repairs that could have been
made for $2,000,000 this year will cost
from $4,000,000 to $6,000,000 next
year. In other words, the money that
the State Highway Department ought
to have at this time for highway main
tenance will not do anything like the
work next year that it would have cov
ered had it been available this year.
Nothing goes back so rapidly as a
road once it begins to break. The
highway that could be put in order
at small cost this year will require a
vastly larger expenditure next year.
Indeed, it will be remarkable if 1915
does not find the roads of Pennsyl
vania in worse condition than ever
before. This, however, is due to no
fault of State Highway Commissioner
Bigelow. Firm in the belief that the
automobile license fund of more than
$2,000,000 was at his disposal, Mr.
Bigelow organized his forces and pre
pared to spend the money on the re
pair of those vast stretches of road
that have been taken from the town
ships by the Legislature and turned
over to the Highway Department as
part of the State system. Then came
the legal snarl that put all his plans
awry. The whole repair force has
been disorganized and engineers who
should now be directing gangs of
workmen are on furlough.
Meanwhile not a stroke of work is
being done on the roads and they are
going from bad to worse. The bor
ough and township officials have no
authority to make repairs and the
State Highway Department cannot get
the money the Legislature unques
tionably meant it should have. The
conditjoft is, indeed, unfortunate.
It is no longer a reproach to speak
of a man as a high flyer.
FOURTH OF JULY, 1915
THE Harrisburg Chamber of
Commerce has arranged what
promises to be a very sensible
and appropriate Fourth of July
celebration for next week, bufc it has
an opportunity to do something vastly
greater and more imposing next year.
The Fourth of July in 1915 ought to
be made occasion for a joint observ
ance of the national holiday with a
dedication of the city's "front steps"
and parkway along the river.
This improvement will have been
completed long before that date and
the dam also will have been finished.
The whole river bank will be turned
into a park, with broad, paved walk
leading to a series of steps ending in
the lake-like waters of the Susque
hanna. These steps would serve
splendidly as a vast grandstand for
the viewing of a great water fete and
the calm water backed up by the low
dam downtown will afford a splendid
setting for boat races, a canoe parade
and all manner of aquatic sports.
It is not too soon to begin to plan
for such a celebration.
T. R. is some busy person with the
difficulties in the Progressive party and
the indifference of the Washington ad
ministration to his strictures upon the
Colombia treaty and other breaks of
the administration. His typewriting
machines are going overtime.
CORNER-LOAFING
POLITELY, but very firmly, the
curb loiterer is to be jogged into
action. To-night the police will
hand out cards to those who con- |
gregate on the curbs downtown toj
move on or be arrested.
We suppose there will be a few
who will "stand on their rights" and
make trouble for the policemen. But!
the law-abiding persons will realize)
that the order is just and proper. A
few blameless persons may suffer
slight embarrassment when the officer
of the beat presents them with "move
on" cards, but in the main the order
will affect only the persistent street
and corner loafel-s who ought to have
been ordered to "march on" long, long
ago.
PROPER ACTION
IN all public improvement work it is
the fair thing for the officials in
charge to keep the public advised
of every important development,
inasmuch as the public is the inter
ested party in all municipal enter
prises. Harrisburg has been particu
larly fortunate in all its great under
takings of the last few years in escap
ing large expenditures growing out of
unforeseen contingencies. It is there
fore a commendable thing that the
Board of Public Works, co-operating
with the head of the Department of
Highways and Public Works, has taken
up with the proper authorities an un
expected condition that has arisen In
the construction of the river dam.
In the building: of the dam it has
been necessary to go to bed rock so
that the breast might be firm and
strong. Hera and there, however, have
been discovered deep pockets which re
quired unusual engineering devices to
overcome. This has made necessary
increased expenditure, which will be
provided for by the City Council in
order that the work may not be inter
rupted.
Of course, it would have been pos
sible to complete the work and create
a deficiency account without action now,
but the wiser course has been pursued
in making provision for the emergency
at the present time and in the proper
way. Public confidence is always re
tained by straightforward conduct of
the public's affairs.
EVENING CHAT 1
Young Harrisburg is no longer
afraid of snakes. Just now the snake
instead of being a cause for scamper
ing is the object of hunts. Time was
not so long ago that a well developed,
enterprising snake could keep boys
away from any swimming place, and
even prevent the enjoyment of a bull
frog sticking expedition. Now . every
place where snakes are known to fre
quent is turned over a couple of times
a day by boys in the first flush of
vacation, and any snake within fifty
feet who gets away is well entitled
to the enjoyment of, bug-hunting on
another day. Water snakes appear
to be the particular prey of boys
about the city, and there is hardly a
band that returns l'rom rambling near
the mountains or along the valleys of
the Paxton, Yellow Breeches and Con
odoguinet that does not come back
with a serpent. The other night two
boys tried to make the poor fright
ened reptiles that had fallen into their
hands engage in a duet, and another
boy offered an amateur gardener a
well-rounded garter snake to clear
bugs from his potato patch for a quar
ter. If there are any copperheads or
rattlers close to Harrisburg they had
better cover their tracks and hunt new
apartments.
Each of the battle flags recently in
stalled in the rotunda of the State
Capitol is to be given a number and a
better display than is at present af
forded in the glass cases. Prepara
tions to this effect are being made
and next week men will begin a re
arrangement, so that the flags can be
seen to better advantage. It is the idea
to make as much room as possible be
tween the flags and to have a number
on each one, a key chart being placed
in front of the case. Eventually some
of the flags may be moved to new
cases, which the Legislature may be
asked to provide. The Revolutionary,
War of 1812, captured Mexican flag
and various interesting flags of the
Civil War itnd the flag carried by the
Tenth Pennsylvania through the
Philippines will be framed after being
covered with silk for better preserva
tion. It is the plan to display these
flags in the corridors of the State
Capitol.
"The rains and hot weather of the
last week, while very uncomfortable,
have been worth a great many dollars
to the farmers of Pennsylvania," says
Secretary of Agriculture N. B. Critch
fleld. "The land was badly in need
of rain and the combination caused
the corn to grow rapidly, and there
aro some excellent predictions being
made about the crop, which looks very
well in southern counties. The wheat
crop shows every indication of being
very large and the reports about the
yield of cherries are that the trees are
loaded with them. Early summer
crops appear to be excellent."
Capitol Hill is having a case of
"nerves" over the activities of the
State Economy and Efficiency Com
mission, which after a month or two
of investigations and inquiry has been
hearing heads of departments of the
State government tell of the organiza
tion of their branches and of the num
ber and duties of their subordinates.
In a number of instances it has been
found that changes could be made to
the advantage of the public service
and that some of the attaches are not
overworked at certain times. The
commission has also been going care
fully along a line suggested bp Gov
ernor Tener, who thinks that a cen
tral mailing place would be a good
idea for the Capitol, and that it would
promote efficiency as well as economy
in the handling of letters and mail
matter of various kinds. Some of the
departments have been more or less
perturbed by the probing into their
operations, and the Idea in some of
fices was illustrated the other day
when in an informal conversation one
man connected with a big department
asked to be told just what the com
mission was "driving at." He was
told that the commission was seeking
information to correct "lost motion"
and "lapsed time." This appeared to
make the inquirer feel very much bet
ter, for he remarked: "Well, you"re
not head-hunters then."
Some of the heads of the State de
partments are commencing to figure
around about the manner in which
they will ask appropriations from the
next Legislature, and it is expected
that the demand for the conduct of
the State government will be consid
erably heavier than last year because
of the extension of State work. The
Department of Labor and Industry,
the Public Service Commission, mov
ing picture censors and other branches
of the State government have gotten
organized and are preparing the esti
mates for their work. Then the State
will have to provide a road-building
program, the proposed bond issue hav
ing been defeated, and will also have
to arrange to take care of the natural
Increase in various older branches.
The indications are that the appro
priations for government next year
will be greater than known :lnce
Pennsylvania established itself.
While public improvements are be
ing mentioned it is interesting to re
call the enthusiasm of a burgess of a
small town for improvements. He was
discussing them at a recent meeting
here and remarked with enthusiasm,
"We'll bond the home town for tho
limit."
"What's your limit now?"
"Eight thousand, four hundred dol
lars." he replied proudly.
The discussion of the astronomical
tower at Philadelphia, which is rep
resented in the newest Abbey paint
ing at the Capitol has caused u. num
ber of people to ask questions about
It and the way the guides keep up to
date on such things is worth while.
Yesterday afternoon a guide was
asked to point out the 'tower paint
ing." He piloted his party to the hall
of the house and then produced a
clipping telling all about'it.
2ND LANCASTER IS

Has Twenty Candidates For the
Four Legislative Seats to Be

Republicans Will Meet in Pitts
burgh in August— Morris
Between Two Fires
Records of the May primary pub
lished at the State Capitol show that
the Second Lancaster legislative dis
trict, which elects four members of
the House, leads In the number or
candidates who will go before the
people at the November election, hav
ing an even score of men on the ticket.
The Seventeenth Philadelphia district
is next with eighteen, followed by the
Eleventh Allegheny with sixteen and
the Second Westmoreland with fifteen.
Many other districts have ten or a
dozen candidates. In some of these
districts the same men are on two and
three tickets, so that if every separate
nomination was set out the number
would actually be higher. In live dis
tricts there are but two candidates for
the legislative seat. These districts
are the Eleventh Philadelphia, Mon
roe, Montour, First and Fifth Lu
zerne, one of the two in the last dis
trict being on five tickets. There are
three candidates for the seat In each
of the following districts: Cameron,
Clarion, Forest, Fulton, Juniata, Fifth
Lackawanna, Fourth Luzerne, Second
Montgomery, Pike, First and Second
Schuylkill, Snyder, Sullivan, Union,
Wayne an(l Fourth York.
In the senatorial list the Sixth dis
trict leads with six candidates, while
the Twentieth district, part of Luzerne
county, has two candidates.
Most of the congressional districts
have five candidates, the Thirtieth dis
trict, the MeKeesport district, has but
three candidates, one man being on
six tickets. There are twenty-four
candidates for Congress-at-large.
There are six candidates for Gov
ernor and six for United States sen
ator and five each for Lieutenant-
Governor and Secretary of Internal
Affairs.
Under the nonpartisan law there are
but two candidates for the Supreme
and Superior Courts.
State Chairman Crow announced
yesterday that as a result of the refer
endum vote on the postponement of
the State committee
meeting from Phila-
Meotins to delphia on July 15 to
Be Hold at Pittsburgh on August
Pittsburgh 2fi, enough members
had answered in the
affirmative to author
ize the change. The notices will be
sent to the committee members. The
platform committee will meet next
week for another conference and the
committee on changes of rules will
also have a session. Prominent Re
publicans are keeping In close touch
with the State headquarters to an un
usual extent this year.
State Chairman Roland S. Morris,
of the Democratic Stain machine, is
in a bad state of mind just now. On
one side lie has the
Thornton men who
were turned down by Democratic
the city committee in Bosses Will
Philadelphia demand- Talk It Over
ing that the whole
Democratic committee
elected by the people be electrocuted,
and on the other he is hearing from
practical politicians who demand that
any further split be prevented in the
party. McCormick is said to be de
termined to get revenge, but some
other candidates are not so keen.
Next week the bosses will get together
in Philadelphia to discuss the ques
tion of inquiring "into the legitimacy
of the Philadelphia city committee."
Apparently the right of the people to
elect a city committee does not weigh
with the Democratic ruling clique.
Senator Penrose will start late to
day on an automobile tour across the
State to Pittsburgh, where he has a
number of engage
ments. He will be ac-
Penrose to companied by his
Be In City brother, Dr. Charles B.
Tomorrow Penrose, president of
the Board of Game
Commissioners. The
two expect to arrive at Harrisburg
about noon to-morrow for dinner with
the Governor at the Executive Man
sion. Monday the trip west will be
resumed. On Tuesday, the Senator
will deliver an address in Pittsburgh
before the State Sportsmen's Associa
tion. On that same day, Colonel
Roosevelt will be in Pittsburgh to
speak at the second annual confer
ence of the Progressives. The follow
ing day, Wednesday, the Senator will
attend outdoor festivities to be con
ducted by the Sportsmen, and on July
2, Thursday, he will be the guest at a
reception to bo given by E. V. Bab
cock at his country home near Pitts
burgh. July 4 will find the Senator in
Ephrata, Lancaster county, where he
will deliver the Independence Day
address.
The Philadelphia Ledger in a politi
cal review by Frank J. Price to-day
says: "The more closely primary re
turns, now being tabu
lated In the office of
the Secretary of the Democratic
Commonwealth, are Cause Now
studied, the gloomier Hopeless
the outlook grows for
those Democrats who
believed a year ago that this was to be
a Wilson year in Pennsylvania. The
President himself, the Democratic
delegation in Congress and the party
at large had conceived the notion that
because the Taft electors were reject
ed at the polls the Keystone State was
getting ready to swing into the Demo
cratic column; and yet, the Wilson
electors had polled fewer votes by
more than 50,000 than the Bryan
electors had received only four years
previously; fewer by 30,000 than
Bryan received In 1900; fewer by
nearly 40,000 than Bryan received as
a result of the free silver hysteria of
1896; fewer by nearly 60,000 than
Cleveland received in 1892. Even in
1888, when Cleveland was defeated by
Benjamin Harrison, he received 443,-
633 votes, while Wilson, in 1912, re
ceived only 395,637. Winfleld Scott
Hancock, author of the phrase, 'the
tariff is a local issue,' received 12,000
more votes, in round figures, thirty-six
pears ago, than Wilson received in
1912."
The Central Democratic Club last
night named Harry Vollmer, prospec
tive Federal appointee, to take charge
of the instruction of teh awkward
squad for the marching club of 1914.
In 1912 there were almost 300 mem
bers and they learned to march as
,the campaign wore on. ,

Upon a fishing trip.

Of fish we caught—or bought.

WHY NOT A FOURTH PARTY?
[From the Philadelphia Inquirer]
The Pinchot brothers—Amos and
Gilford—have read the financial angel
of the Progressive party—Harvester
Trust Perkins—out of the organiza
tion. True, as chairman of the ex.
ecutive committee, he has furnished
a goodly portion of the campaign
funds, but in the opinion of the Pin
chot brothers—Amos and Gifford —he
is a burden upon the party. Their
ultimatum has been given—Perkins
must go.
But Perkins shows no sign of going.
Indeed, so prominent a personage as
Thedore Roosevelt, founder and com
mander-in-chief of the party, says he
shall not go. "As for reading him
out of the party, when that is done
they will have to read me out, too."
That is the Roosevelt ultimatum. Thus
does ultimatum clash with ultimatum.
