Ml MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 20 THE AUSTRIAN TRAGEDY THE murder of Archduke Francis Ferdinand, heir to the Austria- Hungarian throne, and the Duchess of liohenberg, his mor ganatic wife, marks another tragic period in the tempestuous career of the aged Emperor Francis Joseph. The hand of the slayer has been raised constantly against the venerable ruler and his family. He and his have lived In continual fear of death. The disappearance of Archduke John, which still ranks among the great International mysteries that never may be solved, was even more of a shock to the Emperor than the execution of his brother before the rifle squad of a band of Mexican revo lutionists. The mesalliance of the Archduke Henry with a notorious singer and the strange death of Arch duke Rudolph, the Emperor's only son, and his sweetheart, Baroness Vestera, who were found dead together, were added sorrows In the life of Franz Joseph. Crowning all his other griefs, how ever, came the assassination of his be loved wife, the Empress, as she was v - leaving Geneva, Switzerland, after an outing, at the hands of an anarchist, who stabbed her to death. And now comes the death of the heir presump tive, and while there have been per sistent rumors of ill-feeling between the Emperor and the Archduke, there can be no doubt that the blow will be mifficient to shorten the fast waning life of the venerable ruler. The murdered Archduke was one of tho most mysterious personages of royal rank in Europe. He had few friends and his views on national sub jects were unknown to the masses, although recently it has been rumored that he was under cover taking a more prominent part In the ruling of the empire than the aging ruler himself. The new heir, on the other hand, Francis Joseph, son of the late ' Archduke Otto Francis Joseph, brother of the man slain yesterday, is well known and liked by the people. Ho is a man of considerable force, is studious and fond of art and travel, lie is thoroughly conversant with the affairs of his own country and the politics of Eu rope. A vast responsibility rests on the I shoulders of the young man. It has been reported that a break between Austria and Hungary might follow the death of Francis Joseph. Archduke Francis Ferdinand had foreseen such a contingency, it is said, and one of Ills reasons for dipping into politics while Francis Joseph was still living was to entrench himself so strongly that his elevation to the throne would find him ready for any emergency. It Is significant as indicating the social unrest of the allied countries that the tragedy of yesterday occurred while the Archduke and Duchess were on their annual visit to the annexed prov inces of Bosnia and Herzegovina. DR. SMITH'S RESIGNATION TH-iRE will be sincere and generul regret throughout tho city over the decision of the Rev. Dr. J. Ritchie Smith to accept his elec tion to the chair of homlletics at the Princeton Theological Seminary. This regret, however, is not unmixed with congratulation over the choice of one so admirably qualltled as Dr. Smith for this important chair. The loss of Harrisburg is the gain of the semi nary. Dr. Smith has been prominent In the civic activities of Harrisburg as well as Its religious enterprises. He has become so much a part of what may be termed the spiritual machinery of the city that his going will be a dis tinct loss to the community. His strength in the pulpit has been no greater than his Influence outside. T. R., PERKINS AND PINCHOT THE Colonel and Perkins are de termined that the Pinchots shall be squelched. They have been occupying too much of the stage. "Perkins is the most useful member of the Progressive party." The Colonel has said so and Amos and Glfford will consider themselves on the siding. Their protest that Per kins has no place in the Progressive L party; that the fact that he was the ft . organizer of the Harvester Trust, a R | director of the Steel Trust and a part- MONDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRArH JUNE 29,1914. ner of the late J. Plerpont Morgan debarred him from further active par ticipation in the third party's leader ship, has fallen upon deaf cars. Colonel Roosevelt has made it clear that when George goes, he goes, which was another way of spanking the Pinchots. It is going to be Inter esting to watch the future attitude of Roosevelt toward Glfford Pinchot as the Progressive candidate for United States Senator from Pennsyl vania. It is still a matter of comment that Glfford did not meet tho Colonel on his return from Europe last week and when the Dean, who Is supposed to be Gifford's running mate In this State, was asked about the situation he delivered himself of this cryptic statement: Both Mr. Perkins and Mr. Pinchot are close personal friends of Colo nel Roosevelt. I would not discuss the case any more than Colonel Roosevelt will. It must be evident to every Intelli gent observer of the political trend that the third party movement in Pennsylvania is reaching the point of collapse and largely because the Re publican party has risen to the occa sion and adopted the essential reforms for which many of the sincere Pro gressives contended. Of course, Speaker Champ Clark's emphatic vote against a special assist ant for Secretary Bryan had no refer ence to events at Baltimore. Just a lit tle matter of economy! SEEING THEIR FINISH ARREN WORTH BAILEY, Wwho was sent to Congress from the Johnstown district two years ago by a plurality of 938 votes, sang his swan song in a Washington interview. He says Penn sylvania Democrats share with the Mls sourians the determination to fight the battle to a finish, no matter what the effect on their own political fortunes. "In iny judgment," Mr. Bailey con tinued, "adjournment without com pleting the anti-trust legislation would be as great a mistake as adjournment would have been last summer before disposing of the currency bill. Presi dent Wilson was right then and is right now." Mr. Bailey said that he voiced the sentiment on this subject of every other member of the Pennsylvania Democratic delegation in the House. In the same newspaper that pub lished the Interview with Bailey was printed a letter from the proprietor of a large dry goods house at Johns town to' a Philadelphia hosiery mill. Among other things the dry goods merchant says; Sorry we cannot advise you to ship hosiery. Kindly ship to some one else. Trade and collections are worse than when I last wrote you. Mills are not working half time. There are more Idle men in our city than ever before. But what does Mr. Bailey care about his Johnstown constituent! He is standing by the President, as are the Palmers and McCormickg and other accidental "statesmen" who have man aged to break into public position while Republicans were asleep at the switch. What care they for closed mills and factories and distressed businessmen and hosts of idle work ingmen. "Stand by the President," shout these little men. "He can do no wrong. Hasn't he promised a gigantic business boom? And should any intel ligent person hesitate for a moment to accept his prophecy without ques tion?" Of course, the little men "will fight to a finish," but the finish is not far away. PEOPLE ARK PROTESTING BUSINESS men and men of affairs in all parts of the country are rising in protest against a con tinuance of the visionary gov ernment at Washington. The Wilson organs claim that all criticism of the President is based on politics, but during the last two or three weeks the adverse sentiment has been so pro nounced among men of all parties that it is no longer possible to excuse the President and relievo him of the lash ing of distracted business by raising the political issue, if it is a political issue, then it is made so by the Presi dent himself and those who constantly echd his opinions. His phychological theories and his denunciation of business men and working men who haye had the temerity to appeal to him to give the country a rest, while his Secretary of State has been advising the Wilson following throughout the country to bombard Congress with telegrams urg ing the members of the Senate and House to stand by the President, and his general attitude of indifference to the brainy commercial and industrial leaders who happen to differ with him and his policies have led to many such paragraphs as the following from an editorial in tho Public Ledger of Phila delphia: The question of high tariff or low tariff is ceasing to be the vital one in this country. The great issue that is germinating concerns the preservation of Americanism, of the essentials of free government, of equal treatment, of ordinary jus tice, of whether Washington shall be changed Into headquarters for a colossal experiment In syndicalism, of whether proletarian ism or democ racy shall guide our destiny. Prac tical citizens must soon put their backs to the wall and fight. No sooner Is one head of the Hydra lopped off than a dozen new ones appear. The task becomes tiresome. It will be necessary to' rout out tho whole coterie of visionaries, who are playing havoc with our Institu tions. So far as Pennsylvania is concerned. Its Industries have been buffeted and Its prosperity prostrated by the free trade fallacies of the present adminis tration, which fallacies aro proclaimed by Palmer and McCormlck, the hand picked candidates of the President, as the very essence of wisdom. This State Is tired of the Wilson experi ments and November cannot come too soon for the thousands of voters of all parties who have determined now without any further discussion to put the seal of their disapproval upon the whole program, Including the free trade tariff law, the Panama Canal tolls, the Colombia apology and graft, and all the rest, ol it. 1 EVENING CHATI For some reason or other the por tico of the Courthouse and the spact of pavement In front of It holds mori favor for open air religious service: than any other spot in Harrlsburg, anc It's rather odd, when you think of it There is more room in Market Squari and the front of the Capitol or of thi State Museum offers very formal sur roundings and more space, but th( Courthouse is the place where evan gellsts, Salvation Army workers, tem perance speakers and others who dea with the better life present their argu ments and make their exhortations Perhaps it is because that spot ha been public property from the closlni decades of the eighteenth century am that the two or three courthouse which have occupied the site liav been used intermittently for religiou services for over 100 years. The his tory of a number of the church or ganlzations of Harrisburg begins li the court rooms where justice is deal out by day and political speeches smit< the air by night, and probably it 1 because of this rather singular asso ciation, coupled with the fact that it 1 the town hall or rath haus of tin municipality that has caused its porcl to be preferred for religious services For a time Market Square was use< by some religious workers, and is ye occasionally, but it is probably toi large or the noises of traftlc are to< great to make it an attractive spo for services. So the front of the ol< structure, which is one of the lines types of courthouse architecture o ante-bellum days In the State, by thi way, hears services almost every even ing in the week these days. The new borough of Paxtang jus now presents a very interesting stud; for the man who is interested in th< rule of the people and other things sc much heard of in the last few years The residents of the county's newes municipality, which will probably bi No. 567 in the list of boroughs of th< State, are going to have a town meet ing to pick their officers to-morrow The law authorizes the court to nami officers or to order a special electioi so that the machinery of governmen may be started. The voters will de termine whether they want to hav< an election or whether they will picl out their own officers and request thi court to name them to serve until th< regular election comes around. Whlli there has been a lot of talk about it the field is open in Paxtang and thi chances are that a good example o town meeting will be held in th< schoolhouse to-morrow night. The days are well nigh upon us and it is about time to think aboui the dogs. There are many valuabl* animals in Harrisburg and yet if then are half a dozen places where a dos can get a drink of water except froir a gutter, tbe Susquehanna river oi Paxton creelc, they are not listed State officials are calling attention tc the dangers of rabies, and it is a well known fact that hot weather is mightj hard on the animals. It seems queei that there is no provision made in the public drinking fountains for a dot and that while horses are well pro vided for, the dog, whose devotion tr man has been the theme of poem, sonf and story, is not thought about. Some of the best roadways in thi county have been made within a verj short distance of the city by townshii authorities and individuals who havi taken advantage of the opportunit; to use railroad ashes, or "sparks," ai they are called by railroadmen. Thii material makes a good hard road which will stand the ordinary traffii for a long time without much atten tion. In many instances private road: and lanes have been rebuilt by tin use of "sparks," and if the haul is no too great it means much saving. Tin trouble is that the average road ii Dauphin county is allowed to go with out much care unless some one makei a big kick, and, strange to say, ii some districts roads have been allowe< to go for the reason that "the Stati is not doing anything now, either." On the subject of highways it migh be stated that the municipal autliori ties could very well afford to get ou with a road drag or scraper in Green wood street some one of these morn ings after a hard rain. This street which begins at a point along Paxtoi street and runs east Intersecting Dei fy street near Twenty-third, is nov being very heavily traveled fron Nineteenth to its junction with Derry owing to the paving operations unde way from near Eighteenth to Twenty third. Tn fact practically all of tlv traffic that used to pour out Derr: goes by way of Berryhill to Nineteenti and then to Greenwood. The stree was never used to any great exten prior to this sudden service and look the part. It is badly cut by moto trucks and teams and when a hcav: rain has fallen It Is plain mud. A drai employed for half an hour after a rail would work wonders. Speaking about highways, again i might be added that it is not hard t< figure where the city line ends ii Walnut, State and Herr streets. Thi condition of the ronds in Susquehanni township close to the city's gates an much in the same shape that Derr; street has been between the paved sec tion and the State highway. Rutp holes and facilities for bumplnj abound. , I WELL KNOWN PEOPLE"I —L. T. McFadden, the new head o the State bankers, is prominent ii Bradford county affairs. —Judge 11. A.

'PENROSE SPENDS ; ■ THE NIGHT IN CITY i ; Senator Says He Expects to Have Busy Time in the Western Part of the State 1 : CROW TALKS ON CAMPAIGN 3 , s Huntingdon Democrats Get Into a I Row Over the County Chair manship Too t » e s TTnitPd States Senator Penrose and - bis brother, Dr. Cliarles B.

This year Senator T>en -ose will be comnelled to take his va cation in motor tours nmontr his con stituents. He remarked la*t evening 'hat he was glad to meet the neonle , ! n this way inasmuch as he had been «o closely confined by his duties at Washington until recently that he was not nrivilesred to set. out among the neople as he would like to have done. TTe finds now a real heneflt in golnc among the people of the State and hearing first hand their views on pub lic questions. The Senator started from Philadel phia yesterday on one of the most re markable tours he has made. He will speak to the United Sportsmen at Pittsburgh on the same day that Col onel Roosevelt is addressing the Pro gressives. He will probably be at the same hotel. The rest of the week will ' be spent in different counties. The Bull Moosers here and through out the State are all heated up over the controversy about Perkins, and those who will attend the conference of Bull Moosers the Progressives in Have Little Pittsburgh to-morrow to Smile At were as mum as oys ters over the matter. Several of them were trying to-day to tind out on what train the Colonel was going to Pittsburgh, so that they might get on board. Detrich and the other subbosses have come out for the Colonel after patting Pinchot on the back. Pinchot and Lewis spoke at twenty-three towns in Susquehanna county Saturday and carefully avoided any reference to the row. The Colonel's physical con dition Has made the Progressives very glum. "While the State committee ineet " ing has been postponed until August 26," said Chairman William E. Crow in Philadelphia, "the Republican cam paign has already Crow Says been inaugurated and Campaign Is from now on there Under Way will be no cessation in the work of per fecting the party organization in every county in the State. The headquar ters of the Republican State commit tee will be open daily and conferences will be had with county chairmen, as well as State committeemen and can . didates on the ticket at large and in ~ the several districts. "Special attention will be given to the congressional districts and it is proposed to have the State committee work in harmony with the national congressional campaign committee in this direction. . "We are already planning for meet * ings and visits of candidates to county fairs and other places where there will J be an opportunity to meet large bodies ' of voters. The speakers' bureau is , now being organized and arrange ments are being made to have the ora ' tors thoroughly conversant with the issues of the campaign and with the weakness of the opposition." A government pension for superan nuated Federal employes is favored by Senator Penrose, and, in his opinion, shortly will be estab j lished. "Recent re -1 Penrose ports," said the Sena- Gives Idea 4 tor yesterday, "have on Pensions shown the discharge ' of a very large number of Federal employes, B many of advanced years. As a result of careful investigation I have made, X am convinved now that a pension should be established. This opinion is contrary to the one I formerly held, but results from experience in Wash ington, especially as chairman of the post roads committee. All large cor porations arc introducing the pension system, the Bell Telephone Company, for instance, having recently promul gated one of the most elaborate. It is argued that by establishing a pension, dependent employes will bo cared for by the government they served, rather than by friends, that younger and more active men will take the place of the superannuated with resultant economy, and that efficiency will be advanced all around as well, as proper r recognition given to faithful employes aged in the service." Just to show that they are divided,' like the Democrats of most of the ' other counties, the members of the Huntingdon county Democratic c o m s mittee on Saturday Huntingdon forsook their peace- Democrats in ful meeting policy a Row, Too and indulged in a fight in which J. Murray Africa, the State committee man and one of the active men, was stood aside for Joseph G. Lesher, edi tor of the Huntingdon Monitor and a noisy shouter for the machine. Lesher looked after the "tour" of Hunting don county by the White House twins and probably about the "watchers." Emory Small was elected as the pilot of the Franklin county committee, Dr. J. M. Gelwix retiring. Tho Franklin Democrats are upset over the pros pects for the campaign. The Northampton county Republi can committee held Its meeting on Saturday at Easton with a big attendance. A ban quet followed. El- Northampton mer P. Richards, of I Republicans Easton, presided. Elect Selp Harry G. Seip was re-elected county chairman and treas urer. "A favorable opportunity exists," Mr. Selp said, "to elect the Republican ticket not only in the State of Penn sylvania, but In the Twenty-sixth Con gressional District and Northampton county. This could he accomplished only, however, by the Republican workers getting out every vote and soliciting support among the disgusted Democrats." Resolutions were adopt ed endorsing the nominees on the Republican State ticket, calling atten tion to the "serious condition which threatens great Injury to the agricul tural and business interests," declar ing there can be no Improvement un til 'we arc again living under a Re publican protective tariff,' and prais ing Senator Penrose as the leading advocate of a protective tariff.

RESCUE OUR I,AND FROM HI.ATIIIIIt- SKITKS IFrom the Philadelphia Public Ledger.] The Claflin failure is the largest that has ever occurred in the dry goods trade in America. More money Is in volved and a larger number of persons are directly concerned. For a couple of weeks past there has been a series of small bank failures throughout the West which escaped especial notice In the East. A big Iron manufacturing company this week sus pended Its dividend and one of the most Important railroads of the Mid dle West cut off Its dividend two days ago. These, are 111-omens of the times, and they constitute an appeal for national behavior at Washington beyond any other plea that could be made. Failures are a definite, concrete calamity which leave no room for argument. Of all the humbugs of the present, the silliest is the pretense that busi ness men are promoting hard times. But who shall rise up and dare pro claim that Claflin went into a receiver ship merely for political reasons? The specific point where Washington lias failed In the existing industrial crisis is this: Washington does noth ing to ward oft the troubles, but, on the contrary, continues to promote trouble. This offers a violent contrast with the way Germany has handled her depression. There the Government .bonds every nerve to help the situation, even to forcing a combination of big business in order to prevent wasteful competition. But at Washington the wrecking crew Is never idle. Every new move is a move to subtract and not to add, to divide and not to multiply. Every new law alms to cut down and curtail and not one endeavors to build up and needs statesmanship big enough to throw politics to the winds while It marches forth to rescue the land from a tribe of blatherskites. AND THE COUNTRY KNOWS 'W'e know what we are doing," the President told the Vlrginlani, and the rest of the country is beginning to suspect that It knows.—Philadelphia I Public Ledger.

And love is all it needs, And this is faith's confession Of what it lacks in creeds. \EDITORIAL COMMENT)' "As for reading Perkins out of the! party," thundered the leader upon his arrival in New York, "when that is done they will have to read me out too!" That ends the war on Perkins. In attempting to accommodate himself gracefully to the situation Mr. Gifford Pinchot will be assisted by the recol lection that there was a time when the Colonel stood by him too. That stand ing-by made political history.—New York Sun. THE PRESIDENT'S SURGERY [New York Sun J President Wilson will have difficulty In convincing even his most enthusi astic admirer that the Claflin company receivership is either psychological or the outcome of a conspiracy to dis credit his Administration. It is a sub stantial fact that is not to be put aside as a child of disordered mentality or sluggish liver. If Mr. Wilson 'has seriously believed that business has not been bedevilled into timidity, re trenchment and stagnation if the word of such men as Mr. Simmons, In whose judgment and good will he puts faith, does not arouse him to a realization of the conditions in this country—the stern lesson enforced by the difficulties of one of the strongest houses in the country, a house who te transactions touch practically every interest in the nation, cannot be lost upon him. Should Mr. Wilson allow his philo sophic mind to review what has been done to business within a year, even he might find in that record some slight justification for 'the sober and respectable citizens who for months have pleaded with him to give them an opportunity to adjust themselves to the radically changed conditions he has been so largely instrumental in creating, before pressing further in novations. The tariff revision, be it wise and beneficent as Mr. Wilson holds, or ill advised and injurious as his political opponents contend, cer tainly imposed new tasks on manu facturers and distributors of merchan dise. The new currency law, regard less of its virtues or defects, necessi tated a reshaping of the financial practices of the country. Does Mr. Wilson believe that the changes inevi tably consequent on such far reach ing displacements of accustomed methods and established processes can be accomplished without hard ship, loss and entanglements menacing the whole delicate fabric of busi ness? Mr. Wilson betrays a fondness in his public discourses for Illustrations derived from the operating theaters of hospitals devoted to surgical cases. Has he ever heard of the operation which was a perfect success although the patient died? PROSPERITY MUST WAIT (From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.] Big as are our crop prospects, and Important as is the rate decision, the first really broad-gauge impetus for the upward swing in prices can only come with the elections next November. If sentiment as shown at the polls indi cates a continuance of the harassing tactics, money will continue to prefer a sure but small rate of Interest to a questionable dividend. Rut if there shall appear at the polls a sweeping verdict the other way, the United States will embark upon the finest period of expansion it has ever enjoyed. The Almighty lue given this country every possible natural advantage, and only man can mar Its future.

Illustrations by James Mont gomery Flagg and Wallace Morgan. $1 net; postage, 10 cents. John Lants Company, New York. In gay and satiric vein Mr. Street plays host to the stranger in New York and pilots him through our city. As he shows him the sights he speaks across his shoulder, explaining the genial folly of his guest. "The New York way" is his theme—the way some strangers think they must be have if they would avoid being taken for strangers. And with the guest comes his wife, who is tearfully sur prised at her husband's unbridled zeal for spending. This is comedy in the best of good humor and yet with its lesson. The mirror is held up by the jester and New York sees itself. WHEN ONE IS LONESOME When one is feeling lonesome, down and out, get something soft and punch it about. When you're feeling blue and your friends are gone, write a letter, tear it up, then you've won, That's what you want when you feel that way. If you hurt some one's feelings you're sorry some day, So Just be as mad as you want—in your shell — Nor let any cne see, and don't ever tell. Eureka! the blues vanished—now go to that friend, Forgive him and well —oh, well, that's the end. —Written by Theodore Sangree Kauf man, aged 13 years. A ROSE FROM THE RIVER DEE B v J. Howard Wert A rose my own, my life, my love, Is all I have for thee; 'Twas growing bright and wild above The banks of bonnie Dee. The dew is on its petals' bloom, But when it reaches thee, Within the wild and wooded gloom Far o'er the tossing sea, 'Twill be a dried and shriveled flower, And yet, my love, may be, 'Twill make to life each happy hour Beside the river Dee. CHORUS 'Twill make to life the happy hour Beside the river Dee, When, in a rose-encircled bower, Your love was pledged to me. The roses bloom as bright as then, Along the river Dee; The sun shines out as soft as when Love's kiss wa given me; Yet still T sit, with saddened heart. Beneath the linden tree. Where months ago we met, to part Beside the river Dee. Then take, my love, the humble rose That T have pluck'd for thee; 'Tis sacred with my love which flows Changeless as bonnie Dee. CHORUS 'Twill make to life the happy hour Beside the river Dee, When, in a rose-encircled hower, I first was kissed by thee. rf- % aKiDaiiAKTtcr.i res SHIRTS SIDES & SIDES
