WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 1 ROOSEVEIJT AND PENROSE THE speech of Colonel Roosevelt in Pittsburgh last evening and the subsequent statement of Senator Penrose commenting thereon, ought to be subjects for the serious consideration of every voter who expects to exercise his franchise at the elections next Fall. In the first place, there may be read between the lines of the Colonel's speech an unexpressed desire to get back into the Republican ranks, or rather, perhaps, to get the rapidly re forming Republican ranks back of him. That he is planning to become the joint candidate of the Republican nnd Progressive parties in 191 C there can he no further room for doubt. Republicans and Progressives alike will agree with Colonel Roosevelt's condemnation of the Wilson adminis tration. The Colonel has only em phasized what they have long realized with relation to the destructive poll-1 cies of the Democrats at Washington. They well know that he is right when he says that the present tariff law has brought us as a nation no benefits and that it has wrought us much harm. They have already come to a full realization of the fact that the Presi dent's attitude toward business is that of the destructive theorist, and that ruination and not regulation will fol low the enactment of the radical and experimental anti-trust program he has outlineed. Even Democrats admit that the White House foreign policy is a joke and that the United States, ■under the direction of Wilson and Bryan, has become the laughing stock of the nation 3. Regarding these things there can be no disagreement. Republicans and Progressives will accept this section of the Colonel's address not only as truth but as expressing their earnest convictions. They realize that there muat be a change at Washington if the country is to be saved from finan cial disaster and the distress that al ways follows business disturbances. It would not be surprising, Indeed, if a great many members of both parties looked upon Roosevelt as the man to bring this change about. But when one comes to that portion of the address in which Colonel Roose velt roundly condemns Senator Pen rose it Is only fair to ask that the reader consider the words of the Colonel In the light of Senator Pen rose's reply. The Colonel condemns Penrose as a "political boss." That seems to be the only real objection of the Progressive leader to the Republi can candidate for the United States Senate. In reply Senator Penrose points out that he precisely the same man he was a few years back, when Colonel Roosevelt, In letters which he quotes, expressed warmest friendship for him and thanked him for his efforts politi cally in behalf of the Republican party In Pennsylvania. He shows that Roosevelt was in 1904 saved from a posaible defeat by the Senator him self, when certain influences in the party were directed against Roose velt's nomination. He points out that the rules which Senator Penrose and others invoked for the rc-nomination of Taft In 1912 were exactly the same rules that Roosevelt insisted upon when he was forcing the nomination of Taft on the national convention of 1908. Finally, Senator Penrose shows how Roosevelt absolutely dictated the first nomination of Taft and compelled his acceptance by the Republican party, and he politely infers that at least it does not come with very good grace for the "pot to call the kettle blaok." It Is to be noted that while Colonel Roosevelt spoke vigorously in opposi tion to the Democratic misrule In national affairs, he failed to recom mend very strongly Gifford Pinchot as the man to correct them. Indeed, the thoughtful voter, whether he be friend or foe of Colonel Roosevelt, must see In the Pittsburgh address only addi tional argument for the election of the Republican candidates in Pennsylva nia next Fall. The Colonel has point ed out that to continue the Democratic party in power is suicidal nnd it is generally conceded that there can be no hope of electing the Progressive WEDNESDAY EVENING ' HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH JULY 1. 1914 nominees. The one thing to do, then, is to turn In and roll up an old-fash ioned Republican majority. And there are those who will be ready to believe that such a result would not be very displeasing to Roosevelt, with his eyes on 1916. If these hypocrites who are wail ing about a business depression had been honest, the country at this mament would he enjoying one of the greatest business booms in its . history.—Harrisburg Patriot. How about those other hypocrites at Washington and their satellites in Pennsylvania who are responsible for the conditions which now menace the country and the results of which these amateur statesmen greatly fear. THE MAYOR UNMASKED THERE is a good deal of chuck ling throughout the city to-day and all because Mayor John K. Royal's alleged nonpartlsanship was given another severe jolt at the meeting of the City Council yesterday afternoon. City Commissioner Gorgas, the other Democratic member of the Council, tired of the controversy over the filling of a vacancy on the police force, voted with two of the Republi can members against the Mayor. This so startled the "nonpartisan" head of the city government that he almost had a convulsion. Recovering his' speech, he asked Commissioner Gorgas ; whether he was sure he was voting! the way he wanted to vote and Com- ! missloner Gorgas, with ill-concealed humor in his voice, assured the Mayor that his vote had been correctly inter preted by the clerk. Yet Mayor Royal will insist and en deavor to make the people believe that he is purely nonpartisan in all his official acts. It was a very surprising turn of a prolonged controversy, but served a good purpose in unmasking the Mayor before the entire community. Senator Penrose says he finds it dif ficult to reconcile Colonel Roosevelt's attitude on bossism with a letter which the Senator received at the close of the campaign of 1904, when the Colonel thanked him. as chairman of the Repub lican State committee of Pennsylvania, for the phenomenal vote of this State In support of the Colonel for President. In the matter of bossism It is always a question of which side the boss Is on. PRESIDENT AND SUFFRAGE PRESIDENT WILSON seems never to be able to do the popular thing. The continuous perform ance of kicking over the milk pall at Washington must be agonizing to the Democratic party leaders who are trying desperately to overcome the Increasing disapproval of the na tion for the Administration. After ducking the question for sev eral months and sidestepping nimbly to avoid the persistent efforts of the suffragists to get him into a corner, the President yesterday admitted that he will not urge "votes for women" on Congress. Equal suffrage Is a matter for the States Individually to settle, he told the women who had come to ask him for his support. Doubtless some woman will draw attention to the fact that the amend ment of the national Constitution to permit women to vote Is very much a matter for the States Individually, as a majority of them must accept such an amendment before it becomes ef fective. We cannot think of a simpler method of ascertaining the sentiment of the country on this important sub ject. Now and then the nonpartisan spirit of the Clark act gets in its work in the most unexpected fashion, but the ratio is usually the same. Three to two sounds familiar, even with different units in the vote. LIND AND CARRANZA IT is "up to" the Wilson Administra tion to clear its skirts of Mexican muck. John Lind may not have dealt with Carranza as an agent for the Washington government. Captain Hopkins, who says he did, may not be telling the truth. But there Is so much of similarity between what Hopkins says took place and what a thoughtful observer could not but Imagine oc curred, that the burden of proof cer tainly rests with the Administration. A Democratic Congress owes it to Mr. Lind —and his superiors—to as certain the truth and clear them if they are innocent —or censure them If they are guilty. CLEAR THE RIVER FRONT WITH the rapid progress of the various contractors on the several important public improvement undertakings again bobs up the proposition to eliminate the buildings on the west side of Front street between Herr and Calder. It is a foregone conclusion that these properties must give way for the general betterment of the River Front, and now Is the time to do it. For many years the proposi tion has been discussed and one move after another has been made, but until the present time there has been no considerable public sentiment back of the suggestion. As the big improve ment program of 1901 nears comple tion, however, the demand for the clearing of the river bank of all build ings becomes more Insistent and wo believe the municipal authorities will be entirely justified in taking the nec essary steps to get rid of the "Hard scrabble" district. There is no serious objection on the part of the people who live In that sec tion. Inasmuch! as they realize that the uncertainty which constantly hangs over their property makes It uncom fortable for them and deprecla&s the value of their holdings. Many of the owners aro among the most insistent advocates of the movement. All that they ask is that they shall be fairly dealt with by the city, and there Is no doubt about the disposition of all favorable to the removal of these prop erties to give the owners a square deal. Less than ilfty separate dwellings are involved and most of these are frame structures. Therfr is no serious opposition to the proposition and all who have studied the problem know how necessary its solution is to the proper completion of the River Front treatment. 1 EVENING CHATI A couple of movie actors can draw a crowd quicker than four congress men or eight senators. For the last few days a corps of enterprising folks have been gathering local sights and scenes and they have come close to blocking truffle on a couple of occa sions. One afternoon a man under took to give a realistic performance oi' a man being thrown out of a cigar store. He went in and went out all right, but in the exit he collided with a baby coach not on the bill. It made a dandy film, but It almost started a Hot because the baby coach was pro pelled by a husky man and he had the support of a belligerent wife. Yester day the actors sei_„.cti :i make-believe marriage license u>. . people gath ered in no time. u> see the pictures taken. Then the pair went to the office of Alderman Murray and after a mythical ceremony emerged to lind 400 people gathered. They hopped into an automobile, pursued by other actors with rice and old shoes, and there was a very lifelike getaway. The ceremonies attending the break ing of ground for the Pennsylvania building at San Francisco were very tine. James W. King, one of the com missioners, from Philadelphia, made an oration and Chester P. Ray, ex ecutive officer of the State commission, turned the earth with a silver spade. The spade was made for the occasion, suitably Inscribed, and the earth was put into a box which will be put into the building. A specially made state Hag was waved and Governor Tener sent a message, receiving one in re turn. The (lag. by the way, was un furled by Mrs. N. R. Riddle, a mem ber of the Philadelphia family of that, name. It was a great occasion and well worth the ceremony. Our State Army and Navy, the Na tional Guard publication which is de nted to the militiamen of Pennsyl vania. past and present, contains some mighty interesting matter about the recent exercises connected with the transfer of the. battle flags. It is illus trated with a series of pictures, in cluding those taken by the staff pho tographer of the Telegraph. The pic tures will form an invaluable record in years to come, as they show the veterans in Market street. Market Square, Front street and in State street. There is also a good picture of Governor Tener speaking at the exercises. A man walked into a barber shop somewhat noted for the vehemence of its Democratic arguments yesterday and found the boss barber seated in a chair and the rest of the force draped around the room. No one was work ing and all seemed glum. "Some busy day, eh?" he remark'ed genially. "Quit yer kiddln'." "Why, you're all busy, every chair working." "What'd you have for lunch? Ain't you well?. Are ye seeln' things?" was volleyed at him. "Oh. Just be psychological. You're all busy and the cash register is get ing apoplexy from business. Don't all rush to shave me," was the retort. W. B. Olsen. the Good Will fireman, who was buried to-day, was a member of the original Harrisburg band and was noted as the bass drummer. He weighed about 2 30 pounds and he had a bass drum the like of which has never been seen in the city. And hfc could play it, too. Many a kid now grown recalls Olsen's drum. Mr. Olsen was the first fireman in Harrisburg to master the intricacies of a fire en gine. He took one apart once and put it together again. Colonel Roosevelt's stop in the city yesterday recalls the manner in which the Colonel used to jump from his train to shake hands with all comers in the days when he was President. He used to give the secret service men chills by the way he would dive into a crowd that surrounded his car and insisted on seeing him. In those days the Colonel was strong on children and people used to take their young sters to his car and he never failed to respond. Yesterday the Colonel hopped to the platform with the same agility as before and those who got near him say that his handshake was as vigor ous. The practice march of the Gov ernor's Troop which is scheduled for Saturday and Sunday recalls the first practice march the troop.took. It was just after it was organized and tlit. men went out without horse equip, ments. It had uniforms and arms, but not paraphernalia. The troop has taken a practice march about once a year, Linglestown, Hum melstown, Mechanicsburg and Paxtang being among the places visited. For years the troop has ridden to Mount Gretna encampments, which affords good practice, because it is tweijty eight miles. It also rode to camp at Gettysburg. Lineman and men who have to keep telegraph and telephone wires in good condition are on the lookout for instant trouble these days. Just now is the period when the thunderstorms come to play havoc with the wires and the Instruments. Kvery year- or so there is trouble with the wires and the celerity with which things are repaired speaks well for organization. Now and then a bolt gets Into a cable and burns out things, but It does not take long to get things working again. Sometimes work is started while the thunder is growling in the distance. Senator Joseph H. Thompson, of Ileaver Falls, was here yesterdav In three capacities. He came as a legis lator to look after some matters, as a National Guardsman, being an offlcei of the Tenth Infantry, and as a lawyer, f WELL KNOWN PEOPLE"! —Frank P.

Brletiy, the plan is to carry out what McCormick and Morris have been itcn ing tor over a long period. They have never been able to elect their city com mitteemen in Philadelphia and now on charges of various coiora they will be in a position to do some ripping along the same lines that gave McCormlcK and Palmer power In state attairs. A petition contesting the election of two members of the Democratic city committee from the Forty-fourth ward was yesterday filed with Morris as chairman of the Democratic State committee preliminary to a demand for a complete reorganization of the city committee and the expulsion of men declared to be inimical to the bosses. Sworn allegations of irregu larity and fraud in the seating of Frank Scullen and Charles Lynch, Jr., are made in the petition filed by John AX. Hill and James Gaghan, Palmer ites. who claim to have been legally elected to the city committee from tile Forty-fourth ward . A talkfest to keep up courage was held in Pittsburgh last night, when Democrats from every county in West ern Pennsylvania con ferred with State Chair- Morris in ma n Morris. Chairman Talkfest Morris in his comment was t)n Plans characteristically optimis tic over the outlook for Democratic success. He said the Democratic congressional dele gation from Pennsylvania can be in creased, us he is of the opinion that the policies of Woodrow Wilson will receive strong indorsement at the hands of voters, lie was accompanied by Warren VanDyke, secretary of the State committee. Others on hand at the conference were William T. Creasy, of Columbia, Democratic nominee tor Lieutenant- Governor; Bruce F. Sterling, chairman of Fayette county; James lams, chair man of Greene county, and lesser bosses and lights. A Wilkes-Barre dispatch to the Philadelphia Inquirer says: "Now that most of the federal 'pap' has been dis tributed Kirkendall and the Palmer - McCormick ma - chine are up against it good Luzerne and hard, for the reason Has Men that the faithful in the for Jobs ranks want to know what they get fcr their loyalty. "While Kirkendall and McLean stand ready to hand out promises, the faithful refuse to accept promises any more In view of the fact that they have been forced to stand -with their hands tied while the favorites were getting the jobs. "And that very condition is working to the detriment of the Democratic State ticket in the ranks of the party here. "Palmer-McCormick stock is below par to-day."

I IXnERSTOThE EDITOR I WIFEY HAS "SYMPTOMS" To the Editor of 'The Telegraph: Just a few days ago some learned professor (?) discovered, from reading ancient tablets, unearthed at the ruins of Nippur, now at the museum of the University of Pennsylvania, that the downfall of man cannot be attributed to woman. In the few days since then the suffragette contingent throughout the country Is rushing to the newspapers with columns of I told you so and goodness only knows what else. Now, Mr. Editor, I think the suffrage joke has about run its course. The majority of the women composing tha suffragette organiza tion are women that are blessed with this world's goods, old maids, and giddy creatures that gossip about the tango and the bunny hug, and who, when they appear on the street in their new-fangled garb very much resemble an Eskimo totem pole. Indeed, I be lieve that if it came to a point of hunger, there Is not more than one out of a dozen that could bake a loaf of bread to appease the pangs of that hunger. How long will this last?

THAT EXPENSE ITEM To the Hditor of The Telegraph:' Dear Sir: Though a bit disgusted, I was also amused at the article on "Cam paign Expenses" by T. Harry Stees, Enola, Pa., in the edition of The Patriot, June 29, 1914. The Republican party should cer tainly congratulate Itself that one of his caliber and thinking ability has "(lopped." I am a traveling salesman, get over the State frequently, and I am therefore In a pretty good position to know the condition of business in gen eral throughout this Commonwealth, so that it is indeed a hard pill to swal low to read such ravings as the Stees article contains. Furthermore, the financial condition of this State never was better, notwith standing the many ugly things said about the present State administration, chiefly by soreheads and disappointed office seekers. Moreover, the management of affairs of the various State departments was never in better hands, and the Stees re marks about the cutting off of depart ment heads is an Insult to men of the caliber, business acumen, reputation, -etc., of Dr. Dixon. Dr. Sehaeffcr, Colonel Stewart, Henry Houck, et al.

"APOSTLE OF NATIONAL CON CESSION AND CONTRACTION." 'Tho Democrats in Washington, aided by a small clique of railroad Republicans, have surrendered the rights of American citizens in tho Panama Canal. "They have not merely abandon ed a measure for the benefit of American shipping, but they have sur rendered the independent action of this country, and in all probability, the fundamental rights of this country in the greatest and most important achievements of modern times. "If this country had been defeat ed in a disastrous war, it could not have been expected to make a more humiliating surrender of independ ent action and valuable rights than the Democratic Administration in Washington has made at the mere suggestion of England and Japan. "The surrender of the canal is a national disaster, and the party which made that surrender is a continual menace to the honor and dignity of the United States and to the welfare of our citizens. "This Democratic party, for the country's good, for the common good of the citizens, must be deposed from power and deprived of its opportuni ties for further injuring and disgrac ing the nation. "Our citizens who consider pat riotism above partisanship, who think more of the welfare of their country than they do of the advantage of any party, should unite to depose the Democratic party from power and to whip its traitorous representatives out of the House of Representatives and out of the Senate of the United States at the next election. "It Is not merely President Wilson who has refused to follow the dec larations of the Democratic platform and to supply the country with the adequate navy which that document demanded. The Democratic party has followed humbly and cravenly at the heels of the President. "It is not merely President Wilson who has repudiated the Democratic doctrine of reciprocity, a doctrine which would have compensated for the Invasion of our markets at home by the opening of reciprocal markets to out products abroad. The Demo cratic party has selfishly slavishly fol lowed in the Wilson wake for such crumbs of patronage as he has thrown Its members. "It is not merely President Wil son who is responsible for the auto cratic rejection of an Act of Congress providing for preferential duties in fa vor of products imported into this country in American ships. The Dem ocratic party has timidly and sub serviently permitted Wilson to be an autocrat and to dictate Its policies for a payment of patronage.
