FRIDAY EVENING. .TUI/Y 3
KEYSTONE STATE A DEADER
GOVERNOR JOHN K. TENER
has given us In a forceful and
Interesting speech before tbe
State Bar Association at Erie
to fine exemplification of the splendid
progress of Pennsylvania under Re
publican administration. Of course.
It was not a political speech, but fair
iminded men everywhere must appre
ciate the substantial achievements of
successive Republican officials in the
conservation of human life and our
natural resources and the conservative
Regulation of our business and com
mercial affairs.
No executive has ever kept in closer
touch with the work of the several de
partments of the Cqinmonwcalth than
Governor Tener. He is proud of
Pennsylvania and proud of the record
of the Commonwealth as a result of
Its constructive and progressive poli
cies. He showed Its leadership in real
conservation and in those excerpts
of his address which are printed this
evening are given the high lights of
the splendid accomplishments of re
cent years.
He points out how the State has
created a great system of highways,
and regrets, as do all our people, the
fact that the highway development
has been interrupted at a critical time
by an unfortunate controversy over
the funds for maintenance. Reference
was also made to many departments
of which comparatively little is known
by the general public, and which are
not only doing admirable work, but are
producing la rge revenues for the support
of the general government of the
State. Nor did the Governor fail to
refer to the splendid organization of
the citizen soldiery of Pennsylvania
and to many other features of our
State's progress which are not only the
pride of all citizens, but subjects of
nation-wide Interest and appreciation.
It was a speech worthy the occasion
and Governor Tener deserves credit
for so clearly setting forth what has
been done in the development of those
things which count so much in the
promotion of the welfare of the people.
He has had a large part In the fine
record of recent years and especially
!n the development of the conserva
tion program which has made the
Btate a great leader in this respect.
THE TARIFF AND PROSPERITY
FROM yesterday's Issue of the Har
rlsburg Patriot, apologist for the
Wilson Administration, the fol
lowing:
It is easy for them, or for any-
one else having only the shrlvelei
IIP embryo of H conscience, to sax
that the change in the tariff will
kill business, but It is impossible
for them or for anyone else to prove
It is not a pleasant task to point out
day by day the falling off of business.
But it does not do to say that business
is good when it Is not good, and it
becomes the duty of the newspaper to
describe conditions as they exist. Paint
ing rainbow dreams of things as one
would like them to be will not make
-them so, despite the psychological ob
servations to that effect by our es
teemed President. Therefore, the
Telegraph has printed news Items
from time to time, indicating that
prosperity is on the wane and that
Democratic policies and the Demo
cratic tariff are responsible.
Neither is it difficult Jo prove the
truth of this report. Let us note a
few examples from the more import
ant lines of trade, especially those af
fected most closely by the tariff:
Beginning with December 19X3, c.
H. Brown, a well-known hosiery
manufacturer, has been making a
monthly comparison of imports, show
ing the increase over the previous
> ear, using for this purpose, twenty
products, representing the leading
heavy lines of manufacture, all of
which are compelled to sharply com
pete with similar foreign products.
The percentage of increase in these
products has steadily advanced, being
64 per cent, in December 1913, 58 per
cent, in January 1914, 64 per cent, in
February, 71 per cent, in March, 129
per cent, in April, and now the May
figures show a still further Increase to
]36 per cent.
That business depression exists is
net denied by those In a position to
[know the facts, and many causes are
FRIDAY EVENING, HARMSBURG TELEGRAPH JULY 3, 1914.
given, but it would seem that the
main reason can be found In the in
crease of imports under the Under
wood Tariff Law.
The increase in Imports, during the
Tnonth of May, of the products men
tioned amounts to $20,768,884, and it
is a pertinent question to ask, if de
pression could exist if this twenty mil
lion dollars worth of Increased im
ports could have been distributed
among the twonty lines of business af
fected.
In other lines of manufacture many
heavy Increases are shown by the May
import figures. For instance, parts of
automobiles, 389 per cent.; lace and
lace articles, 366 per cent.; Knit goods,
not Including stockings, 745 per cent.;
manufacturers of silk increase from
$2,024,461 to $10,806,476, or 433 per
cent. In twenty articles of produc
tion, the increase in May 1914, over
May 1913, is from $15,183,938 to's3s,-
952,822, or 136 per cent. With these
figures before them American manu
facturers may well be excused for re
fusing to believe the declarations of
Democratic newspapers that the new
tariff has benefited business.
But let us look farther for a mo
ment. In an address made to the
presidents of the subsidiary compan
ies of the United States Steel Corpora
tion on June 25, Judge Gary com
mented at length on business condi
tions and in the iron and steel in
dustry in particular, singling out ad
verse legislation and the tariff as
causes for the present depression.
Said he:
It seems to me it would be fool
ish to claim that business condi
tions generally in this country at
the present time are satisfactory. X
think you will agree with me that
in our line, taken as a whole, busi
ness conditions during the last few
months have been worse than they
have been before ftt any time dur
ing the last decade. It Is true the
volume of orders during the last
two weeks has Increased somewhat,
but the prices obtained are so low
that as a total result of our busi
ness activity there is not, up to the
present time, very much improve
ment. And the tariff law lately
passed has adversely affected the
business condition or this country.
In my Judgment.
Judge Gary, it will he remembered,
lias persistently maintained a most
optimistic view of the business situa
tion In the United States. Few will deny
that he can speak with authority on
any subject affecting the steel trade.
And he says times are bad and that
the new tariff is largely responsible.
Yet our Democratic friends seize
upon the fact that a few energetic
manufacturers are building new fac
tories to try to make us believe that
times are good and the country pros
perous. The truth Is that these fore
minded concerns have seen the inevi
table swing back to protection and are
preparing for It. It Is a blessing for
otherwise idle working men that there
are such and that our own Pennsyl
vania Steel Company and the Middle
town Car Works are among them.
Next year we will spend the Fourth
sitting on the "city's front steps."
CRIMINAL EXTRAVAGANCE
COLLIER'S WEEKLY, which has
been friendly to President Wil
son, quotes the following plank
from the Democratic platform
of 1912, and asks how it has been ob
served by the Democratic Congress:
We denounce the profligate waste
of tlie money wrung from the peo
ple by oppressive taxation through
the lavish appropriations of recent
Republican Congresses, which have
kept taxes high and reduced the
purchasing power of the people's
toll. We demand a return to the
Mimpllelty iiixl economy which befits
a democratic government.
It is well known and beyond denial
that the Democrats in Congress have
spent more money and contracted
more "pork" bills than any Congress
on record. Collier's hits the nail on
the head when It says this Is not mere
wanton wastefulness, but "comes near
being larceny on the part of indi
vidual members, for they are taking
the money with a private motive—to
buy their way back to Congress with
public money."
Lockjaw was probably invented to
keep political orators quiet on the
Fourth of July. *
A PRACTICAL TALK
THAT was a fine, straightforward
business talk which Edwin S.
Herman, president of the City
Planning Commission, gave the
Chamber of Commerce at a luncheon
meeting yesterday. Notwithstanding
the difficulty of getting any consider
able number of men together In mid
summer there was a representative
gathering of the business community
to hear one of the most successful of
our business men and bankers discuss
some future plans of the Chamber. He
also emphasized the importance of all
business men placing their own ac
tivities on a sound foundation.
As a result of this practical talk and
the discussion which followed, it has
been decided by the Chamber of Com
merce to give a series of what will be
known as business lectures for the
benefit of the members and their em
ployes during the Fall and Winter
months. For these lectures business
experts in the lines to be discussed will
be engaged.
This is practical work and shows
that the central organization of busi
ness men is determined to push ahead
with a view to encouraging in every
way the activities of the city.
A burned child may dread the fire,
but the burned boy doesn't dread a
firecracker.
THE PITY OF IT
JUDGING from the findings of an in
vestigation carried on by the
county poor board.lt is about time
to call a halt on the furnishing of
liquor to inmates of county institu
tions.
Ninety per cent, of the Inmates of
the almshouse are there, it Was learn
ed, directly or Indirectly because of
drunkenness.
Many cases that come under the
surveillance of the Harrlsburg police
department, It was further discovered,
can be attributed to the same cause.
This being true, the Board of Poor
Directors did well Indeed to notify
saloon keepers that they will be prose
cuted If they give Intoxicants to wards
of Dauphin county..
1 EVENING CHAT 1
It's a rather odd coincidence that
the place of interest for the celebra
tion of the Fourth of July to-morrow
and of the same day 120 years ago
is practically the same. Newspapers
of 1795 and 1796 tell of the observance
of the anniversary of the signing of
the Declaration of Independence In
the then village of Harrlsburg, which
was putting forward its best foot in
order to become the capital of the
State. According to the Oracle, which
was the great home newspaper of the
town In those days, the citizens as
sembled in Market street between the
river front and the square. The river
front, which did not have a bridge
then, was a point of many gatherings,
especially In the vicinity of Front and
Market streets.- The people appear to
have gotten together there in their
best bib and tucker and bearing bas
kets and after hearing a. speech or
two, to have marched to Federal Hill.
From all accounts this Hill was out
Market street about where the cut
was made through the shoulder of the
hills forming the Reservoir Park.
There was a great spring out that
way and It was surrounded by woods
which made an Ideal picnic place, af
fording a fine view of the village with
Harris' ferry working full time. Inci
dentally, it is of interest to note that
the observance was of a substantial
character. There was a chairman,
who was General John A. Hanna, who
made a speech and introduced others.
The young ladles sang and the militia
men marched at the head of the col
umn, while a very important part of
the program was furnished by can
non which were dragged along by the
merrymakers. And every notice winds
up with the statement that toasts were
drunk to the star spangled banner and
the bird of freedom.
Dr. Cherrlck Westbrook, the den
tist, Is going to find out why his big
dog, one of the ornaments of the far
East End, makes a dive for a certain
weed whenever he spies it. The doc
tor's dog is one of the kind that you
could hitch to a milk wagon, but he is
playful and full of fun. However,
when he is taking a walk he will make
a bee line for the particular weed and
chew it. He has been doing that for
some time and the doctor is going to
have a chemist examine the plant and
find out what property It has that in
terests the dog.
"Doan yuh bresh me wld dat broom.
Yuh heah." These words attracted
some attention In one of the smaller
thoroughfares in the central part of
the city yesterday. Two colored men
were "argufying" over the attempt of
one to "dust down" the other. There
was no question but that one man
needed it, but he did not propose to
be brushed. "Why foah not?" he ask
ed the other. " 'Cause hits bad luck.
Las' week Ah wuz breshed. Ah wuz
breshed on ah Friday an' nex' day Ah
got In jail. Ah stayed In jail foah two
days. Doan yuh bresh me wit dat
bfoom."
This calls to mind the experience
of a couple of golfers in a recent match
and as all golfers are supposed to be
truthful the story must stand. One
golfer in addressing the ball happen
ed to knock it off the tee. "Hard luck"
remarked his opponont as such an oc
currence Is a hoodoo of the most fatal
kind. Later on he did the same thing.
The two played two extra holes to set
tle the match and almost had a fight.
Old residents are finding a good bit
of interest in the manner In which the
Pennsylvania and Cumberland Valley
Railroads are tearing up things In the
vicinity of Mulberry streets and It is
rather surprising the number of visi
tors to the public works in the late
afternoons and early evenings. Few
people would recognize that end of the
city now, especially Front street which
has been turned and twisted around
until it would be hard to find. The
preparations being made now indicate
that the changes will be greatest in
Second street. This section of Har
risburc, the oldest of the city, Is about
to undergo transformations that would
make the home coming "former resi
dent sit up and rub his eyes.
Jim Wilson, the colored man re
cently named to the policy force and
known to many residents of the city
because of his service at theaters, in
sists that there Is a rooster over in
the Seventh ward which has it In for
him. This rooster has its habitat in
the vicinity of the upper part of the
Harrisburg Pipe and Pipe Bendlnf?
Works and Jim swears that as soon
as he heaves in sight the cockerel gets
up on the fence and starts to say
'Take car-r-r-e; take car-r-r-e. Cut.
Cut. Take car-r-r-e." Jim says "I'm
going tc take care of that bird all
right one of these days. He's got no
business to be going after me."
The man with a lighted cigar or
figaret was warned to stay away to
day in so many places that he prob
ably wondered why. It's all very
simple to the people who did the
warning. They were folks who had
fireworks to sell and they were not
taking any chances of furnishing
cause for a fire alarm.

TROUBLE AT BOTH
ENDS OF TIE STATE
Democratic Bosses in Hot Water
Over Selections For Federal
Jobs Made This Week
Bosses of the Democratic State ma
chine will celebrate the Fourth of
July trying to find some way to get
out of the fights which are brewing
against them at both ends of the
State. The inside ring or executive
committee is scheduled to meet here
Tuesday, and there is so much fuss
being raised over the patronage dis
tribution that the bosses are not sure
that they will be able to put through
the schedule to throw oUjt the Demo
cratic city committee of Philadelphia,
elected by the people, because the Old
Guard refuses to seat a couple of
noisy reorganizes.
Selection of Adam M. Joyce to be
superintendent of the mint over Con
gressman John H. Rothermel, of
Reading, and several Philadelphlans
has stirred up a regular hornets' nest
just where it was not wanted. In
the western end of the State the slat
ing of W. H. S. Thompson, of Pitts
burgh, to be Federal judge, has an
gered the friends ot several other can
didates and they are objecting to
various government officials about the
arrogance of Palmer.
While in Washington yesterday
Palmer and State Chairman Morris
slated at departments about 150 men
agreed upon at the "Big Four" con
ferences in Philadelphia last week.
It should be Dauphin county's turn
soon.
The Philadelphia Public Ledger
publishes the following from its Wash
ington correspondent: "Three dollars'
worth of cab fare—in
a 'sea-going' hack, not
a taxi—was used up Bosses oil
to-day by Roland S. Plain Hunt

State chairman of
Penn sy 1 vania, and
Representative A. Mitchell Palmer,
national committeeman and Demo
cratic candidate for Senator, in going
\jie round of the executive depart
ments looking for "jobs' for faithful
Democrats who might be of use in the
coming campaign. They called upon
the Secretary of Labor, the Secretary
of the Treasury, the Postmaster Gen
eral and the Attorney General. As a
result of their operations to-day it can
be stated that between this time and
the November election, 100 to 200
Democratic postmasters will be ap
pointed in Pennsylvania, a surveyor
of the port will be named for Pitts
burgh, a superintendent of the mint
will be selected lor Philadelphia, a
subtreasurershlp in Philadelphia and
several other good places will be
handed out.
"Colonel Roosevelt's speech helped
rather than hurt the cause of the
Republican party In Pennsylvania,"
said State Senator Wil
liam E. Crow, chair-
Crow Says man of the Republl-
Roosevelt can State committee.
Helped last night. "He has
given a keynote for the
Republican' campaign
this Fall. His arraignment of the
Wilson Administration, his enumera
tion of the failure of the national
Democratic loaders to fulfill their
promises to the people, and his ac
centuation of the distress that has
come upon our Industrial and com
mercial interests since the advent of
President Wilson In the White House,
cannot but impress upon every citizen
of Pennsylvania the importance of
electing the full Republican ticket,
Boies Penrose for the United States
Senate, Dr. Brumbaugh for Governor
and ail of the other party nominees."
"Colonel Roosevelt's speech In Pitts
burgh last night helped along the Re
publican cause In Pennsylvania, and I
trust that he will find
it convenient to return
in the fall," said Re- Tustin Says
corder of Deeds Ernest Roosevelt
L. Tustin. of Philadel- Hit the Nail
phia. "His denunciation
of the policies of the
Wilson administration accentuated the
necessity for a united Republican party
to Insure a sweeping victory over the
Democracy in November, not only in
Pennsylvania, but in every congres
sional district throughout the country.
Colonel Roosevelt truthfully said: 'The
present national administration is pur
suing a course that prevents the exist
ence of prosperity, and that does not
offer a single serious or intelligible
plan for passing prosperity around
should prosperity In spite of the ad
ministration's efforts at some future
time return to our people. This Is
true, both as regards the trust ques
tion and the tariff question'."

1 IITTERSTO-THEEDITOR I
SUNDAY CLOSING
To the Editor of The Telegraph:
Among the many virtues, charity and
consistency are surely not the least im
portant. The ministers of this city
having suddenly come to the conclu- 1
slon that it is a very wicked and rep
rehensible thing to sell candy and ice
cream on Sunday, we might suggest
that they go a little further and ask
why street cars and automobiles, rail
roads, taxlcabs. milkmen and icemen
are allowed to do business on Sunday.
Does the law of 1794 mako discrimina
tions? Are the preachers preaching on
Sundays for their health, or is It for
the pleasure of hearing themselves
talk? Are they not preaching for the
very same reason that the cigar man
and the candy man are doing business,
namely, because they have to make a
living? If the ministers are doing it
to make a living, they are certainly
violating tho law of 1794. If Christian
ministers and churchgolng people were
consistent, they would not patronize
the trolley cars on Sunday. Are not the
poor motormen and conductors already
overworked? Are they, too, not entitled
to a day of rest? Would the ministers
sign a petition asking that these poor
fellows be given the Sabbath day free?
I guess not. On the contrary, while i
they are doing hard work, the Christian
stockholder sits in his comfortable pew,
and when not asleep, enjoys the min
ister's harangue against the fellow who
must do business on Sunday in order,
peradventure, to keep Himself and little
ones from the poorhouse. What pos
sible narm can come to anyone be
cause some one sells a cigar or a piece
of candy on Sunday? To be consistent,
no minister or churchman should cat
candy on Sunday, for the reason that
it is a pleasurable occupation, and as
such is forbidden by the Scriptures
(Isa., 68:13). "Alas, for the rarity of
Christian charity under the son." A
certain preacher in this city finding
himself a little low in ministerial am
munition. announces that hereafter the
moving picture shall Invade the sacred
sanctuary (presumably since no one
else does). These pictures will not
move of themselves, they must be work
ed, and some one must work them for
the pleasure of some one else. Where
does the law of 1794 come in in this
case? It is mere rhetorical jugsrlerv
and childish subterfuge to attempt a
justification of the moving picture In
the churches on the ground that It is
elevating the community, but this
aside, the fact is that some one is do
ing unnecessary work for some one's
gratification. Is it right that you
shall work on the Sabbatli for my pleas
ure? If the ministers wish to do some
real good work, and thus prove con
sistent, lot them prepare a petition
•Ing that all motormen and conduc
tors be exempt from labor on the Sab
bath, and let the well-fed, Christian
stockholder when he prays next Sundav
for the benighted heathen think of his
overworked American brother.
Yours truly.
