"HARDSCRAIUH.F" HI ST OO
THERE is a ia.udable ambition
among the city officials and the
various auxiliary commissions
to complete the chief features
of the Harrisburg improvement pro
gram this year. There Is also an in
creasing sentiment in favor of the
elimination of the built-up section on
ihe west side of Front street, between
llerr and Calder streets. This section
Js owned by a number of persons, but
It is believed that it can be acquired
within a figure that will be justifiable
Bt this time In view of tho rapid de
velopment of the River Front Improve
ment.
"Hardscrabble," as this district is
locally known, comprises principally
frame dwellings and many of the own
ers. realizing the conditions and the
future, ore quite willing to dispose
of their holdings at reasonable figures.
These owners are entitled to fair con
sideration. inasmuch as they comprise
as many public-spirited cltlaens as any
other section of the same sire in the
city. They are naturally anxious ihat
the question cif what shall be done
with this particular strip of property
shall be determined without further
delay. Inasmuch as. under existing
circumstances, they cannot improve
their properties nor can they make
anv plans whatever for the future.
For this reason it is obviously impor
tant that it be determined now what
(ihall be done and clear the way for
♦he completion of the River Front
Improvement from one end of the city
to the other.
Some years have elapsed since this
great undertaking was started, and now
that It Is progressing rapidly along
the several stretches it is reasonable to
expect that the city will do what
must certainly be done i the future
nr.d which oushl to be done without
further delay.
This city has long since passed the
•tape of hesitation in proper achieve
ment and the public spirit of our peo
ple is demonstrated on every occasion
when they are appealed to in the mat
ter of makinc Harrisburg the most
attractive elty of the Commonwealth—
*s tt should be as the seat of the State
government.
In this connection it is a pleasure
to note the energetic activity of the
several department heads. They are
<>n the job constantly and whatever
the occasional criticism of political
acts, it is certain that the officials are
Showing proper energy in pushing for
nrord the important undertakings of
their several departments.

THE PRIDE OF DRESS
PASCAL HALL, the murderer exe
cuted Wednesday, was only a
poor, superstitious North Caro
lina negro, but just before he died
he said something worthy of thought
on the part of every one of us.
"The trouble with people nowadays
is that they're too proud," he asserted
as he flatly refused to don the new
black suit provided for the execution.
Thus curtly he pointed out to the
officers who were leading him to his
death that he would be no worse, no
better; that the fate he was to moet
would be no more, no less, severe;
that he would' bo no more, no less,
dead after the drop fell whether

fashion or garbed In his old gray
shirt and unpressed trousers.
Palmer and McCormick. in the build
ing of their little machine, have taken
tire from the White House, whose oc
cupant is at once their Inspiration and
hope. President Wilson has usurped
all the powers of Congress and like a
real dictator brooks ho interference.
They naturally assume that the Demo
cratic party of Pennsylvania Is their
own property to do with as they think
best and to take over all the ap
purtenant',es and hereditaments there
unto belonging. In brief, a victory of
the Palmer and McCormick outfit would
place in power the most arrogant and
selfish little dynasty that ever scuttled
a ship.
Having swallowed Boss Flinn, the
Colonel's sore throat very naturally had
no trouble in handling the slippery Mr.
Perkins.
THE RAILROAD VOTE
GIFFORD PINCHOT and Mitchell
Palmer have baited their hookc
for the railroad vote.
Pinchot, without a chance ot
election, begs for support on the
ground that he stands for federal pen
sions for railroad men and compen
sation for them in case of accident.
Palmer says, "don't vote for Pin
chot; he can't bo elected. Vote for
me. 1 stand for the same legislation
he promises and I'll work for it if I
am elected."
The truth Is that Palmer and Pin
chot both know they are promising
something neither can give. Such a
law as they propose would not be con
stitutional unless it included all work
men of all trades and a piece of legis
lation so comprehensive would bank
rupt the government.
What the railroad men of this coun
try want Is plenty of work at good
wages. That Is the crying need just
now. Time enough to discuss theoreti
cal legislation when the Idle cars are
moving and the furloughed men are
back on the payroll.
The Republican candidates stand for
fair play to the railroads freight
rates that will enable the companies
to pay Rood wages and keep roads
and shops busy, and a tariff that will
mean a full dinnerpail for every man
in the land.
Can Palmer promise as much after
the dismal mess he and other Demo
crats now in control at Washington
have made of affairs?
Nebraska Is golngtohave an enormous
harvest this year, and it was an inter
esting banquet which 500 Republicans
of the stalwart and progressive variety
held at Omaha this week to celebrate
the reunion of the two wings of the
party. There was the greatest har
mony at the banquet and the unpleas
ant things of the last two years were
swallowed up and lost to sight in the
good feeling which prevailed among all
present. Senator Kenyon, who made
the principal speech, spanked both sides
of the party for having gone outside
party lines to fight their battles. He
believes in "scrapping It out in tho
party" and that is what most of the
Republicans of Pennsylvania believe
to-day.
Colonel Roosevelt is home again and
the nyschief-makers. the incorrigibles
of the Progressive wing of the Repub
lican party, are endeavoring to have
him break into Pennsylvania with
a view to hampering the Republi
can organisation. It is doubtful
whether the Colonel will do anything
of the kind, but whatever he may de
termine it is Quite certain that the Re
publicans this year, without regart to
what may have been their previous af
filiations. are going to swat everything
whie*i will further prolong the agony
of the business man and the working
man.
Many of the railroad organisations
are as much interested In a return of
prosperity to the great corporations,
upon which they depend for their liveli
hood. as are the managers and stock
holders of these railroad companies.
Any appeal to the railroad employe to
boost Wilson or any of his favorites Is
likely to react against the Individuals
who hope In this way to overcome the
blight of the Wilson administration.
Railroad employes, like any other class
of workingmen, realise that they can
not live on theory and soft solder.
With * bumper wheat crop and the
prospect of an enormous yield of fruits
ef all kinds. It Is only necessary to stop
the foolishness at Washington to as
sure a return of prosperity. This cam
paign is not stmply a Republican propo
sition; It is an anti-Wilson protest, and
will touch every individual who is
clamoring either as a political boss or
a candidate for the support of the Wtl
eoaiaa theories
If Perkins goes. I go." is the ulti
matum of T, R to the protest of the
Ptnehots and other leadtag Progres
sives against George W.

d to ask in the morning for an

morni ng mail and when
f-amuel W. Pennypacker was Governor
he was astonished at the number and
variety of requests made of him for
contributions. Several Governors havo
attempted to make rules to deal with
such cases, but it only seems to start
more coming. With probablv one ex
ception the men who have been Go\x
ernors of Pennsylvania in the last
twenty years have not been rich men
as wealthy men are counted these
days, and every one has left the
exalted office with a balance against
him. The salary of SIO,OOO and
house and official traveling expenses
given looks very large, but when
k is calculated the demands upon
the executive to keep up the dig
nity of his position he has pre
cious little chance to save, to say
nothing of the demands made upon
him in the name of charity and other
things which arc plain holdups. There
arc many people who regard occu
pants of public office and nominees as
legitimate prey for any sort of ticket
selling, subscription or benefit affair
and they go to surprising lengths to
win out. However, mighty few of
them get by the men who are tho
secretaries of State officials, and If
they do they must be pretty expert.
Comment in hotel corridors and
where people who travel about the
Mate In automobiles congregate in this
city is very apt to touch upon two
points which the average resident of
another community cannot understand
in a municipality of Harrisburg's pro
gressiveness. One is the condition in
which Perry street, the eastern en
trance to the State's capital, is al
lowed to remain and the other is the
fringe of houses in what has been
called "Hardscrabble" for three-quar
ters of a century. The city has shown
its intention to improve Derry street
for at least a part of the unpaved sec
tion. but there remains a space oY five
blocks which is full of ruts and places
which are apt to cause a man to say
things. As for "Hardscrabble," it re
mains a source of amazement to many
people who think kindly of this city.
"The execution of yesterdav and
some 1 knew of when 1 was a boy
show the way times change." said a
man in speaking of the solemn ad
ministration of the law's sentence in
the jail yard. "It shows the way
people have come to regard such
things. X remember when an execution
used to attract thousands and people
would drive here from miles awav just
to be in town when it took place. Then
there were executions which were wit
nessed by hundreds in the Jail. But
all that was changed ten years or so
ago. Now it attracts dozens to the
outside of the prison where it used to
draw thousands. Still. I'm glad such
things are nearly over as far as this
city is concerned."

MORRIS STARTS TO !
REJECT QUAKERS
Democratic State Chairman Calls
the Inside Ring to Meet in
This City on July 9
CHANCE TO THROW THEM OUT
Detrich Gets Reply' From Dr. Dixon
About Political Activity—
Democrats Camping
If any charges are to be filed against
the Democratic city committee of Phil
adelphia, opportunity to make them In
afforded by the call for a meeting of
the executive committee of the State
committee to be held in this city on
July 9. State Chairman Roland S.
Morris last night authorized issuance
of the call and the notices are going
out to-day. No notice of any Intention
to hale the Philadelphia city commit
tee before the inner council of the
State organization has been filed, how
ever, and at the State headquarters
the statement was made to-day that
the matter is entirely in the hands of
the people in Philadelphia who are
opposed to the manner in which the
Philadelphia committee is conducted.
The meeting fixed for July 9 is
stated to be for the planning of the
campaign, but it is not denied that If
the men who are denouncing the com
mittee headed by B. Gordon Bromley
desire they can prefer charges. The
State candidates will be here to talk
over the campaign plans and the
auxiliary committees on finance, pub
licity, etc., may be designated. This
'meeting will be the first for the execu
tive committee since it was increased
from nine to twelve members, three
I new divisions being created.
The presence of ex-Congressman
Arthur L. Bates, of Meadville, In the
city yesterday started rumors going
that he was being
considered for the
Public Service com- Public Service
misslonership, vacant Vacancy Now
because of the death of Big Interest
of Judge Nathaniel
Ewing, of Fayette
county. The names of a number of
men have been mentioned from time
to time, among them those of ex-Judge
Harold McClure, of Lewlsburg; ex-Sen
ator John S. Fisher, of Indiana; Major
Everett Warren, of Scranton; ex-Con
gressman M. E. Lilly, of Towanda;
Walter H. Galther, secretary of the
Governor; Cyrus E. Woods, of Greens
burg. former president pro tem. of the
Senate and minister to Portugal; James
E. Barnett, Washington, former State
Treasurer, and A. H. Gaffney, of
McKean county.
It Is an open secret among Demo
crats that Candidate McCormick and
Morris have been itching for a chance
to throw out the Phil
adelphia city commlt-
Chance at tee ever since they got
I<ast to machine. They would
Bump Foes their fingers on the
have done It long ago,
but they feared the
row that would be kicked up if they
east out men who were elected by the
people. Ti\e disposition of the con
tests a few nights ago is said to offer
an opportunity for "review" and the
refusal to accept the platform may
be an excellent ground on which to
base charges of "disloyalty." This
would be considered by the bosses as
reason for throwing out the commit
teemen elected by the people and sub
stituting men appointed by the ring.
However, if the Philadelphia city
committee is guillotined it will be con
sidered a perfectly proper and patrio
tic duty, just like the bolting of the
Democratic ticket by McCormick In
1910 was all right—from his stand
point.
A Nevin Detrich, chairman of the
Washington party State committee,
got a hot come-back from State Com
missioner of Health Dix
on on the charges that
men connected with the Detrich
department of health Gets Hot
were active in Republi- Answers
can politics. It turned
out that the men against
whom Detrich had lifted up his voice
had not personally securod signatures
to petitions and that one man was
paid fees for such timo as he did
work and that the State had really
very little of his time, anyway. Noth
ing was said by the commissioner,
however, about some friends of Det
rich who are in State service and who
are out on the political firing line,
morning, noon and night, shouting for
the Big Bull Moose and working for
Pinchot.
Members of the two Democratic
clubs in this city havo planned two
very dilTerent stunts for the summer
months. The members
of the Central Demo-
Clnhs Plan crntle Club will spend
Busy Times their spare time drill-
Tliis Year ing. as President-Chair
man Jones does not in
tend that the club shall
lar behind the city committee In show
ing the city how he can liven up a
campaign. The West End Demo
cratic Club will spend the month off
and on in camp along the' Conodo
guinet creek. The members will go by
squads and the camp will be named in
honor of Candidate McCormick. There
will be contests In blocking precincts,
lining up voters and other practical
work.
I POLITICAL SIDELIGHTS I
—Morris' call for a meeting of the
Inside ring coincides remarkahly with
the kick being made against the Phil
adelphia city committee.
—One Cornelius Haggerty, Jr., came
out of obscurity in Philadelphia yes
terday to wall about the Philadelphia
city committee elected by the people.
—Candidate McCormick will have
his chance for revenge for what Don
nelly said in 1911 when the executive
committee meets next month.
—Philadelphia's Democratic row is
a fine thing for a campaign start.
—Out in Allegheny county some of
the Democrats appear to be thinking
about making charges against the
county committee.
—Lewis and Pinchot are off on a
tour of the northern counties.
—John J. Grout, retiring Bull

night.
—Axes are the proper gifts about

—Charles E. Steele, Washington
party candidate for Congress in

great big crack in the "Bull Moose"
harmony in New Jersey. Mr. George

there is much bitterness among their

THE DIFFERENCE AT lIOHE AND
ABROAD
[From the Bristol Courier.]
The Courier published last Saturday
an address by W. A. Graham Clark,
Commercial Agent for the Federal l>o
partmont of Commerce, to the conven
tion «>f the Southern Textile Association
at Isle of Palms, South Carolina.
Mr. Clark had just returned from a
second trip to the northeast section of
Asia, and nis observations touching the
expansion of Japan's textile industry
during a period of ten years were
highly interesting, not to say alarm
ing.
The idea which some optimists seek
to convey that the Occident has noth
ing to fear from the industries of the
Orient Is rudely shattered by Mr.
Clark's figures showing the extent of
some of the Japanese manufacturing
establishments. One firm alone employs
28,000 operatives—more than twenty
eight times as many as are employed
by the largest mill In Bristol. A fourth
of its yarn product is exported, yet
enough is sold to the handloom workers
of Japan to make 75,000,000 yards of
cloth a year. The company is capital
ized at $6,000,000 and is paying 16 per
cent, dividend.
Japanese cotton manufacturers ex
ported in 1913 yarn to the value of $35.-
462,473 as compared with $718,423 ex
ported from the United Sttaes in the
same period of time.
Until a few years ago, the Southern
cotton mills enjoyed almost a monopoly
of the cotton goods trade in Man
churia. It was a very important part
of their business. In 1907, Mr. Clark
gave notice that the Japanese manu
facturers of cotton goods were starting
an intelligent and aggressive campaign
to win our market. He now reports
that they have It. American goods
have been largely supplanted in Man
churia while the textiles of Japan are
becoming more firmly entrenched there
every day.
Clearly, the danger of competition
from the Orient is not an imaginary
one. What Japan has done to our pro
ducts in Manchuria, she can do else
where, If the opportunity is afforded
her. Her advantages in the matter of
cost of production are so prodigious
that we can scarcely comprehend' them.
Mr. Clark says that there are no
laws In Japan restricting the employ
ment of men. women and children, so
the mills run two shifts of twelve
hours each, Sundays included. The
workers sleep in the company's bar
racks. feeding themselves at a cost of
less than six cents a day, which is con
sidered "high living" by the wage earn
ers of the Mikado's country.
Every fifteen days the mills ave
closed down for tile purpose of chang
ing the day and night shifts. With this
semi-monthly exception, there Is no
stoppage of the wheels from one year's
end to the other.
Mr. Clark says that wages have ad
vanced enormously In the last ten years.
When he first visited the locality, the
average pay was six cents a day. Now
It Is about fifteen cents a day. Even
at this rate of Increase, Mr. Clark re
mhinds us. It would require at least a
half a century for the Japanese opera
tive to average as much as does the
American operative to-day.
The Japanese mills are equipped with
the latest and heat American and Euro
pean machinery. They have a few
nicked men from the United States und
England who provide the skill neces
sary for their direction. Fifty of these
picked men oftcn v receive as much
money as 1,000 or 3,000 of the Japan
ese workers.
A proposition to Jmport Japanese
labor to American mills would cause
the entire United States to rise up In
arms. It Is to prevent Just such a dis
placement of the American wage earner
that Asiatics are barred from entrance
at our ports.
But the I'nderwood-Stmmons tariff
law says to these fifteen cents-a-dav
people;
"You may not come into our mills
and work, hut you may work In your
own mills and send the product to this
country. We will be very "lad to buv
It and to allow the better paid workers
In our mills to seek other employment "
Was there ever a greater i'allarv?
Could there be a more stupid way to
attempt the further Improvement or In
dustrial conditions here which are al
readyso vastly better than Industrial
conditions with which the democratic
administration Insists upon our com
peting?
