THURSDAY EVENING, Jn/V 2 BROKEN PROMISES FRANTIC over the impending hor ror of an anti-Wilson avalanche of popular disfavor, organs of the Administration in Pennsylvania, like the Harrisburg Patriot, the personal plaything of the President's hand-picked candidate for Governor, ore doing their little best, to stay the democratic catastrophe of next Novem ber. These organs are particularly worried over the increasing signs of business depression and widespread Idleness as a result of the Wilson tellies. "When the press agents of calamity emitted their howls that business was going to the dogs on account of the hew and honest tariff law, they werw lying, and lying with deliberation," Jells the Patriot in a spasm of rage. But let Judge Gary, head of the I'nited States Steel Corporation, speak. He Is always optimistic and ever ready to point to the silver lining of every cloud, even President Wilson having recently quoted a Gary statement as his excuse for predicting a revival of business. "It seems to me it would bo foolish to claim that business conditions gen erally in this country at the present time are satisfactory," said Judge Gary on leaving for Europe yesterday. "1 think you will agree with me that in cur lines, taken as a whole, business conditions during the last few months have been worse than they have been before at any time during the last decade." lias he also turned calamity howler? Us every hectored and embarrassed business man an agent of calamity for political effect? Must every manu facturer who is forced to close his mill or factory be hanged as high as. Jlaman for "conspiracy" against an ell-wise and paternal central govern ment?

They asserted that their method of tariff reduction would i educe the cost of living and would thus solve the trust question be cause, as they said, the trusts were the creatures of the tariff.

Iwo short years have proved us to be right. Their promises have not been kept. Their perform ance has brought distress upon the nation. Ilia cost of living has not been reduced. But the abilitv of the average man to earn a living has been greatly reduced. The policies of the administra tion should he rebuked by the peo ple and Senators and Congressmen returned to Washington who will strive to end these policies. Raving about Penroseism, whatever Ibat means, will not divert the atten tion of the voters of Pennsylvania from the source of all their troubles—the misfit and incompetent administration nt Washington. Neither Palmer, nor McCormlck, nor Pinchot, nor Lewis, nor any of the other little men who nre going up and down our beautiful hills and valleys emitting prophecies of things yet to come will again suc ceed in shutting the eyes of the people, to the dangers of theoretical and Im practical government. THE PRESIDENT'S TROUBLES IT was no psychological situation in which President Wilson found him self when a delegation of women suffragists demanded of him at the "White House what he proposed to do at the present session of Congress for woman suffrage. Nor was it a ques tion of mental attitude. They wanted t.i know Just what the President was going to do and after some heckling fcy the delegation he abruptly termi nated the interview and withdrew from the room, leaving the 800 suf fragists alone. Without regard to the particular subject of this interview it Is at last dawning upon most of the citizens of the United States that President Wil son Is still the pedagogue, easily Irri tated by questions which are hard to answer and Intolerant in his atti tude toward those who believe that they have the right of petition at least, when the President arro THURSDAY EVENING, HARRI6BURG TELEGRAPH JULY 2, 1914. gates to himself the powers and func tions of the legislative branch of the government. Under the circumstances, he must expect to be asked all kinds of ques tions. pertinent and Impertinent. He cannot hide behind party platforms or any other subterfuge. He must as sume the responsibility when he taken over the functions and powers of a co-ordinate branch of the government and presumes to say what shall and what shall not be enacted Into law. What probably Irritated the Presi dent more than anything else during his interview with the delegation of suffragettes was a reminder by one of the bright women who quizzed him that he had initiated and carried throug-h Congress one other important piece of legislation without waiting for party instruction —in fact. In the face of positive instructions to the contrary written In tho platform on which he was elected. Tho.v couldn't understand why he should split hairs as to party respon sibility in one case, where It didn't please him to do the thing that was wanted, and override the will of the party in another case when it suited his purpose. It is little wonder that the Demo cratic leaders are frenzied over the President's many Inconsistencies and his frequent political and party short, ct mings. They see the finish, if he does not. but judging from his more or less frequent outbursts of irri tability he is also beginning to appre ciate what the people are goin,; to do in November. SEEING HARRISRI7RG ON the recent tour of the Cham ber of Commerce party through the neighboring towns and cities it was suggested by one of the enthusiastic members of the Chamber that the next tour should be one confined to "seeing Harrisburg"— its Industries, Its many places of in terest and its splendid system of play grounds, parks and the publio work now In process of completion. This ought to he the next event on the program of our live-wire organ ization of business men. There is much in Harrisburg that many of our people know nothing about, much that is Interesting and worthy of civic pride and admiration. Thousands of visitors have been here during the last twelve years and all leave with the best possible im pression of Harrisburg, save as to the hotel situation, and that Is bound to be remedied before many moons have waxed and waned. Let us look over our city and when we shall have made a study of ourselves and of our com munity wo can better determine what more should be done to make Harris burg the very leader of the cities of the Commonwealth. ANOTHER "DRY" STATE WEST VIRGINIA has formally entered the list of Prohibi tion States. It went "dry" last Fall by a majority of a 2,000 votes and yesterday the last drop of liquor that ever will be sold legally In that State passed over the bars. Prohibition leaders announced, on the occasion of their rejoicing over this latest victory, that there are now nine Prohibition States in the Union, which, with the local no-llcense terri tory, make up a total of 2,132,726 square miles in which reside 46,029,750 persons. If these figures are correct the amazing fact is presented that nearly 50 per cent, of the population of the country resides in territory that has forbidden the sale of liquor either by constitutional amendment or offers its people opportunity to rule liquor out by means of local option laws. The wave of temperance seems to be rising. That this is so is due as much to the recklessness and lawlessness that have characterized the lower order of liquor selling places as to the efforts of the Prohibitionists and anti drinking societies. PARTNERS! IT hqs been charged that the rail roads are "making hard times" in order to force the Interstate Com merce Commission to grant the 5 per cent, advance in freight rates for which they have asked. As well say that the owner of a department store, as an example, would lay off most of his clerks, destroy a working organization that' had been years in the building and ruin his business for a whole year in order to force his customers to pay more for their goods. The railroad managers are not throw ing away millions of profits and let ting their equipment deteriorate al most to the point of danger In order that they may advance rates. They are not reducing their gross business 30 per cent, in order to add 5 per cent, to their earnings. The folly of sueh a policy is self-evident and quite in line with the 111-tempered man who cut off his own nose to spite his face. The railroad and the public are part ners. When the railroads are busy at fair rates the business of the country ia generally good. Why? Well, for one reason there are on the payrolls of the railroads of the country when times are good more than a million and a half employes. When they are working full time their purchasing power Is high and the money they keep in circulation adds materially to the prosperity of the nation. Then, too, the railroads are large purchasers of a vast number of manufactured products and coal, and when they are off the market times are slack in hun dreds of lines of trade. A well-known businessman once said: Let any merchant look over his records for years: let him note the fat years and the lean years; let him then mark the years of rail road extension and railroad im provements—of railroad spending. Let him mark on the other side tho years of railroad retrenchment, and he will find that the years when his prosperity has waned have been the years when the railroads were not progressing. Fit this to your own Individual case. 1 EVENING CHAT 1 Recent discussion of the probable future of the old Dauphin county jury wheel elicited several odd stories about the half-century-old receptacle for the names of Dauphin's thousands of veniremen. Chief among these, how ever. is a little tale that is related by Charles A. Miller, city clerk. "In the war-time days," said City Clerk Mller. "the jury wheel was used by the United States recruiting officers i for drafting purposes—the names be ing selected from the wheel much like Jurors are now pulled. One time a draft was being made up and there was quite a crowd about the front of the Courthouse, where the drawing took place. I distinctly remember that one day one old fellow, Sam King. X think his name was, stood in the bunch and complained about the way the drawings were made. King had served quite a time in the navy and army—ln fact, he had just been re cently furloughed. The recruiting offi cer, King said, wasn't whirling the wheel enough to get a good repre sentative crowd of men. Finally he raised his voice: " 'Spin 'er, spin 'er, spin er' a little!' he finally shouted. "And then the officer gave It a twirl, pulled out a name and smiled as he siiouted: " 'Samuel King!' " Of all the departments on Capitol Hill that have to deal with queer and outlandish names the office of the Bureau of Medical Education and licensure has the worst task. It handles all of the applications for state licenses to practice medicine, surgery, drugless therapy.midwifery, chiropody and other lines. It is a matter of gen eral knowledge that the sons of for eigners. especially from the countries where the Slavs predominate, make an effort to get into the professions and every list contains names which abound in consonants and distress. The other day ten out of twenty names were those of men hailing from the Danube. On another occasion .there were names ranging from plain, simple Off to a name of fourteen letters with two vowels. Some of the macadam put down in Derry street was put there to stay and it takes six horses to get it up now adays. The street east of Nineteenth is now being torn up for paving and the contractor started off with two horses. They barely moved the sur face out to Twentieth. Then two more were added and the job of getting up the roadway to Twenty-first was going some. But from Twenty-first to Twenty-third, where the traction com pany put down macadam on top of the old turnpike, it has taken six horses, and they are looking longingly at the stpam roller and traction engines. The most remarkable thing about the meeting of the. voters of the new borough of Paxtang the other evening was the manner in which nonpartisan spirit ruled. Only once during the two-hour session were the party names mentioned and that was when ma jority and minority inspectorships were brought up and someone wanted to know why they had to go accord ing to party lines. The nonpartisan ship shown at the meeting would be an eye-opener even to an advocate of advanced legislation. The Engineers' Society of Pennsyl vania, which comprises many engi neers from Central Pennsylvania, has prepared an unusually interesting schedule of lectures for the fall, the. lectures to be Riven as part of a series to extend into 1915. On September 11 Ralph N. Wheeler will speak on the Catskill aqueduct across the Hudson; October 15 W. A. Dobson, naval archi tect of the Cramp firm, will discuss the evolution of the modern battle ship; November 13 George A. Har wood, chief engineer of the New York Central and Huson River Railroad, will discuss the Grand Central terminal and the improvements, and December 11 recent improvements in locomo tives will be the theme of George R. Henderson, consulting engineer of the Baldwin Locomotive Works, Philadel phia, Miners all over Pennsylvania are taking notice of the mandamus pro ceeding to be tried in the Dauphin County Court this summer In which the United Mine Workers seek to re strain the chief of mines from Issuing certificates as mine foremen or assist ant mine foremen to miners who havb passed examinations in anthracite mining because they have not had five years' experience in "cutting coal." The chief of mines holds that five years' experience in mining does not necessarily mean five years' actual work with a mining drill or a pick. Tho miners' attorneys contend that miners must work five years at the face of the rock. The decision will affect hundreds of miners and mav have an important bearing on the bitu minous miners.

NO HOPE IN DIVIDED OPPOSITION [From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.] The attack on Penrose. Barnes ana Lorimer is a weak denunciation, not an excoriation. He charges them, and the leaders of their type, as others do, with having betrayed the nation Into Democratic hands. They stole the nomination from him. Is his reasoning, and that is their chief sin. "We are fighting the battle of the honest Re ?ubllcan rank and file," as if the place or such a conflict were not within the party tent. Indeed, the method of the attack on the Republican party, so far as there is any. Indicates plainly enough that Mr. Roosevelt sees no hope In a divided opposition: and It requires no Imagination to read Into his lines a hope that somehow there Is to be a re union, of which he himself will be the guiding star.

GLOOMS BOOST IN THE WINDMILL Democratic State Headquarters Hat Very Little Over Which to Smile These Days ROOSEVELT SPEECH HURT Knocked Morris Fusion Plans Into a Cocked Hat—Clearfield Bumps Postmasters These are unhannv days at the Democratic State windmill in Market Square and instead of the gladsome joys which perchod on the eaves and window sills during 1912 there is a flock of glooms roosting on top of the desks, on the safe and on the pictures of the people who promised Pennsyl vania if they got Wilson In 1912 and cculd not make good. Colonel Roosevelt's speech at Pitts burgh has not only smashed the pet project of State Chairman Morris of getting fusion between Democratic and Bull Moose candidates for Congress and the legislature, but it has made the boss machinists dizzy by its ter rific assault on President Wilson. It is now recognized in Market Square that any chance of fusion on congressmen between Democrats and Washlng tonians is impossible because of the Colonel's attitude and his hostility to the Democratic machine is something totally unexpected. The bosses are commencing to hear the yowling of the $33,000 kitty from various parts of the State and fear that something may be started which will only make more apparent tho blunder in allowing the contest on the Old Guard committee in Philadelphia to be started. The Philadelphia Inquirer has this to say about Democratic affairs: "The revelations of the lavish use of money in the campaign for the nomination of the Palmer - McCor- May I friends of ex-Senator George M. Dinie ling thrashed the State bosses in the organization of the Clearfield county Democratic committee. The committee elected W, I. Betts chairman by 59 votes to 22 for H. W. Buckingham in a straight-out contest in which the party breach was intensified. The most significant thing, however, was the resolution adopted by the committee condemning "the pernicious activity displayed by postmasters recently ap pointed to office, as the same is a violation of the civil service law." This was taken to be the worst slap given to the State machine in years. The resolution went through with few dissenting votes and shows the way the Clearfield Democrats regard the men appointed by grace of Palmer and McCormick. Colonel Roosevelt's speech has had a very funny effect in this city, which has been more or less of a Roosevelt center for the followers of the Colonel in this section. The Bull Moos- Roosevelt ers are rather surprised Puziled at the lack of ginger Them Here in the speech and do not quite understand why Lewis and Pinchot got such merely formal mention. There will be n meeting in the next few days to talk over the situation and it is pretty broadly Intimated that the meeting may have a good bit of effect on the future of the party here. The Demo crats who follow the machine are won dering what ever led them to believe that the Colonel would deal kindly with them. Any hope of fusion has been thrown into the river. I POLITICAL SIDELIGHTS I —The action of the Clearfield county Democratic committee in denouncing the political activity of men Just named as postmasters by Wilson is rather significant. —The Patriot does not have much to say about the meeting of the Clear field county Democratic committee. —-Demorats here are rather down In the mouth over the way Roosevelt handled Wilson. —State Chairman Morris' declara tions that the Democratic party Is harmonious are out of harmony with reports of meetings of Democratic county committees. —The mint is going to start a new row in Philadelphia. —Rooogevelt's speech seems to have jarred Wilson more than Penrose. —Up in Clinton county the Demo cratic votes cost about $1.47 each. This county cost less than sl, accord ing to figures. Why the discrimi nation? —Dean Lewis has gone to Maine to rest. He needs it after the shock of that perfunctory endorsment by Roose velt. —Auditor General Powell got more mention from Roosevelt than Pinchot. —Wonder what the cost per Demo cratic vote in Dauphin county at the recent primary would be if the $12,000 loan could ciphered out. —The $33,000 kitty and the $21,000 kitty are doing a lot of howling around the State. —How one Guthrie must smile now adays.

In Support of Senator Penrose Correfi|>oiident Who Believes It "Poor Sportsmanship" For Dlm mlck Support CTS Not to Support Primary Nominee In a letter to the Philadelphia Pub lic Ledger this is what John Gordon Gray says: "In the beginning of the primaries campaign, the Public Ledger, in an editorial, bore testimony to the pub lie service of Senator Penrose, his value in Washington, his ability and integrity. It pointed out the import ance at this Juncture of electing a Re publican to the Senate and it suggest ed that Senator Penrose, of whom it spoke thus highly, was unavailable because of the public feeling about same vague thing called "Penrose ism." What this is, I, who have voted in Philadelphia some forty years and may be supposed to have had access to the ordinary sources of information open to all men, do not know. It might be said that if there was a false conception of Senator Penrose in the public mind it was the duty of the Public Ledger, as a molder of public opinion and an enlightener of the public conscience, to do what lay In its power to set Senator Penrose right In the eyes of the people by dissipating the mists of prejudice that enveloped him. "But the Public Ledger, believing that the vital Interests of the Repub lican party and through it, of the State, required a new man in the Sen ate and holding that the candidacy of Pinchot was a farce and that of Palmer represented a misfortune, sub- 1 * mitted tentatively a list of more or less Impossible names from which a candidate might be selected and amongst these was the name, hitherto little known in Philadelphia, of J. Benjamin Dlmmlck. In due time, the encrusting names, as in a mass of earthy conglomerate, were washed away and Dlmmlck shone forth in the pure metal of candidacy. As was natural, the Public Ledger, -warming to the support of its candidate, as the canvas went on, more and more for got the high testimonial given to his opponent In the beginning, and more and more found cause to ally itself with what is believed to be the public sentiment against Senator Penrose. But Mr. Dlmmlck was defeated and as in his canvas he had failed somewhat, in his utterances and demeanor, to measure up to the standard of the place to which he aspired, so in his defeat he showed something of poor sportsman ship. He would not support the suc cessful candidate 'on moral grounds.' "I hardly care to characterize that sort of thing in its fitting terms. And the Public Ledger! Is there not some thing also of poor sportsmanship in r niNIAMmi MM 1 SHIRTS SIDES & SIDES Living Cost Increases 10 Per Cent, in Two Years [Continued From First Page] er; A. H.

Believing, as it does, that the good of the State is bound up with the success of the Republican party; believing still, no doubt, that Pinchot's candidacy is a farce and Palmer's a misfortune; recognizing still the value of the public service, experience, ability and integrity of Senator Penrose and believing that such portion of the public who think of him in other terms are the victims of ignorance and prejudice, where Is the clear, cold air of reason and truth which should issue from the Public Ledger blowing away those fogs of misrepresentation? Where is the bold strong support of the supporter of the Pennsylvania ideas, which Pennsylva nia's have the right to expect from the foremost paper of the State? And, moreover, may not the Public Ledg er be mistaken in its estimate of the hold that Senator Penrose has upon public favor? True, he has never been a demagogue: he has never gone about slapping men on the back; he does not beat people to a 'frazzle' nor do things usually strike him as 'bully'; and he has never 'bent the pregnant hinges of the knee that thrift might Safe & Sane .

"Rooted in an Americanism that reaches back to the Revolution, cher ishing American ideals and believing in that American system of govern ment which the Fathers founded, Sen ator Penrose represents the American sentiment, which is the animating principle of the people.
