NOW IS TIPE TIME
NO time is to be lost in arranging
for the dual celebration con
templated for next Fourth of
July. This is to be the biggest
jubilee In the history of Harrisburg.
It will mark the completion of the
vast chain of public improvements
started away back in the . early 'nine
ties, when the Telegraph first pub
lished a few suggestive sketches of
the wall along the river and the In
tercepting sewer. The Harrisburg of
to-day is a vastly different city from
that of those days. It is bigger and
better, a more prosperous commun
ity, cleaner and more attractive. It
has everything a modern city should
have and it has set the pace for muni
cipalities the country over.
It is altogether appropriate, there
fore, that Harrisburg should put on
her holiday dress, let the neighbors
know that her house is In order and
invite them around for a friendly call.
A year is not too long a time to ar
range for a festival of the magnitude
planned. It must be on a scale com
mensurate with the greatness of the
public improvements, the completion
of which it will mark.
It's not too soon for the organization
of boat clubs and other associations for
the big river carnival of July 4, 1915.
Men, women and children should have
a part In the festivities and now is the
time to plan for the city's biggest event
since Old Home Week.
WILSON-IAN PATRIOTISM
CAREFUL, reading of President
Wilson's address at Philadel
phia—his Fourth of July mes
sage to the people of the United
States from the very cradle of Amer
ican liberty—compels the conclusion
that the President is a victim of self
hypnotism; that he is incapable of un
derstanding the motives and forces
which are controling and influencing
the development and destiny of the
Republic.
Throughout the speech is an under
current of pessimism and distrust
which shows itself In a forced and
impossible interpretation of patriot
ism, the Wilsonian idea of this lofty
attribute of the human heart. He
would revise the Declaration of Inde
pendence to suit modern conditions.
His "New Freedom" is given fresh
Inspiration and a more extended defi
nition, but behind and back of it all
is the tendency of the distinguished
orator to befog the realities of his
day and generation with glittering
sophistries and clanging phrases.
He Insists that the enforced stay
of the members of the Senate and
House in Washington "to maintain a
quorum of the houses and transact
public business" is an act of patriot
ism and declares with some conde
scension that he is "mighty glad to
stay there and stick by them until it
is over." How considerate of the
President, but if, as he declared, "it
is patriotic also to know what the
facts are and to face them with can
dor" it is also fair to call attention to
the fact that the "patriotism" which
is holding the two houses in session
when the people of the country are
urging adjournment is the brand of
"patriotism" which has characterized
the present administration through
out; the "patriotism" which usurps
the functions of one important de
partment by another—the arbitrary
control of the legislative branch by
the executive; the "patriotism" based
upon public patronage used where it
will do the most good, the kind that
sees a menace in every act that is
contrary to the theory of the Presi
dent and which is the embodiment of
his views.
Distrust, suspicion and criticism ap
peared in almost every paragraph of
the speech. "Are they Khose who
insist that things are going wrong]
trying to put hope into the hearts of
men who work and toil every day, or
rather are they putting discourage
ment and despair into these hearts?"
asked the President. And in this
question he betrayed the whole weak
ness of the Wilsonlan philosophy—the
MONDAY EVENING. HARRISBURG SgsSsgS TELEGRAPH . JULY 6, 1914.
failure to realize the incapacity of an
administration whose policies . are
crushing the hope and "putting dis
couragement and despair" into thou
sands of hearts.
Again the President speaks of the
inadequacy of the immortal Declara
tion in that the ideals of 1776 will not
fit Into present-day circumstances,
suggesting as he has done frequently,
that we must use our great power and
Influence as a nation for the better
ment and welfare of other peoples. In
brief, the Americans who extend their
energies and activities outside the
boundaries of the United States do
so at tbetr own risk and should not
expect the protection of their own
government. It has not been forgot
ten that early In the Wilson admin
istration Americans In Mexico were
advised by the Washington authori
ties to abandon their important inter
ests and leave the country, when firm
ness and a straightforward declara
tion of purpose would have safe
guarded these Americans and their
interests and prevented the unspeak
able horrors which have marked our
alleged diplomacy south of the Rio
Grande.
The "patriotism" which yearns for
the downtrodden of other countries
and advocates an altruism that is as
beautiful as it is impractical, which
would relieve suffering abroad
while responsible for greater suf
fering at home is not the patriot
ism which the average American ex
emplifies and President Wilson is go
ing to learn in a day not far distant
that he Is not in step with the Amer
ican people, that he Is a dreamer
whose head is in the clouds and whose
feet are upon, shifting sands.
Nor does it follow, as was suggested
fn this speech, which sounded here
and there like an apology, that "the
most patriotic man is sometimes the
man who goes in the direction in
which he thinks he is right." Patriot
ism may have nothing to do with it.
Pride of opinion may have much to
do with It. Even stubbornness and
inexperience are elements in the situa
tion.
Fanaticism is sometimes called
patriotism and the President's "in
sidious lobby" and "conspiracy of
business" and his other* doubts and
fears are not in tune with the spirit
and aspirations of a loyal and patriotic
people. As the editor of "Outlook"
observes, "those who believe that all
business has become so corroded with
dishonesty that there is no way of
making it clean, except by a process
of distrust, suspicion, investigation
and dissolution, are in duty bound by
their conscience to favor the policy
of the present administration. Those,
however, who believe that modern
business is essentially clean and hon
est, and that the tendency to combina
tion in business is as wholesome and
beneficial as the tendency to combina
tion in religion, philanthropy and edu
cation are in duty bound by their con
science to express their disapproval
of the present administration's policy
and to do what they can to substitute
for it a policy of regulation and co
operation."
"All over this land," says the same
writer, "thousands are suffering from
the loss of income. Some, dependent j
on profits from shares in business en
terprises find their dividends re
duced or cut off altogether; others,
dependent upon wages, have had their
wages reduced or have been dis
missed because there was no employ
ment for them. This is not a theory,
it is a fact. It cannot be changed by
the quotation of statistics about bank
clearances or crop reports. It means
worry and hunger."
President Wilson is fast giving em
phasis to the homely verdict of a
Democratic supporter out of a Job \vho
said: —
"Our party don't know how to run
things and I'm through votin' the
Democratic ticket."
It was some celebration of the Fourth
here, but wait until the next anniver
sary of Independence Day Then the
eagle will scream!
SVX YAT-SEN'S I/ATEST
DR. SUN YAT-SEN wants Amer
ica to contribute $1,000,000 to
finance a new revolution in
China. America may sym
pathize with Dr. Sun, but not to the
extent of a million dollars. The man
who was prime mover in the overthrow
of the Manchus may have been very
shabbily treated by those who suc
ceeded him in power, and he doubt
less was, but the new government
seems to be succeeding much better
than anybody anticipated and Dr. Sun
is barking up the wrong tree when
he tries to keep himself in the lime
light and better his own personal con
dition by starting a new war in war
ridden China.
THE SWALLOW FOUNTAIN
PUBLIC spirited citizens of this
community might do well to
emulate the recent act of Dr.
S. C. Swallow, of Camp Hill, long
the exponent of cold water as the
ideal drink, and one time candidate
of the Prohibition party for the Presi
dency, in placing a public drinking
fountain on the highway between this
city and Mechanicsburg.
Nothing Dr. Swallow might have
done could have shown more clearly
his, public spiritedness and at the
same time his position on the drink
question. While people may not agree
with the Doctor on many points po
litically, nevertheless all will admit
that he has done a lasting good for
both man and beast who trudge the
weary high road.
Hotel keepers long have been clever
enough to place inns midway between
i towns as an enticement to the foam
ing glass; it remained for Central
11 Pennsylvania's foremost Prohibition
ist to adopt the cleverness of the J
enemy and place a watering place at |
a strategical point on the Mechanics-''
burg road.
HEALTH BOARD'S GOOD WORK
IN refusing to grant licenses to res
taurant keepers and milkmen of
this city whose places of business
are in an unsanitary condition, the
Board of Health at the same time pro
tects the health of the community and
hands other restaurateurs and milk
men a lesson that will doubtless be
productive of good results.
The time Is past when dirty, ill
smelling, disease-breeding eating
places can do business in Harrisburg.
If people will insist on patronizing
such places and Jeopardizing their
health and the health of the commu
nity in general, it Is necessary that
the authorities close such restaurants.
If milkmen continue to dispense Im
pure milk after they have been
warned, it is right that the health de
partment should refuse to let them sell
their product.
Dr. RaUnick, the man who is per
haps doing more than any other in
making Harrisburg a cleaner and bet
ter place in which to live, was sus
tained in his position of refusing such
dealers licenses, and rightly so.
I EVENING CHAT I
There was the usual array of lost
articles displayed at the offices of the
Harrisburg Railways Company to-day,
the fact that there were two big travel
days causing more than the ordinary
number of things to be turned in at
the office. It is a rule of the company,
and rigidly adhered to by the men,
that everything found on a car shall
be turned into the office immediately
upon the completion of the trip. As
a result everything from umbrellas
and parcels to hair combs have been
handed in at the window by con
ductors. On one trip recently a con
ductor got a well-lillcd market basket
and a bag of pretzels. Another man
turned In a hair comb studded with
brilliants and rhinestones that it hurt
his eyes. Lost, strayed or scared kids
are nothing unusual and once a man
got off a car leaving a dog on the
front end. They thought at first that
he was trying to lose the animal, but
ho came around half an hour later
and relieved the company's officers of
a dog that was making itself heard.
The dog was owner of a pedigree that
was something worth while. Two
ducks in a box were forgotten by a
lady who later called up on the tele
phone and displayed a knowledge of
Herman that refused to bo translated
in the excitement. Another man left
a casting weighing sixty pounds on a
car and oftentimes men get so inter
ested in newspapers or conversations
that they have to hustle for the door
and leave the meat for supper on the
car seat. Not long ago a youth called
up the office and asked if a package of
cigarets had been turnd in. But they
I drew the line there.
Speaking of cars and objects that
ride on them, the funniest was when a
couple of boys who had been roaming
about on the First Mountain allowed
a land tortoise to take a stroll in a
Rockville car. This was some time
ago, but it's still good. The tortoise
was somewhat startled when he
opened his door and got his bearings.
Then he started to walk. His first lap
took him over the foot of a girl of
about eighteen. She shrieked and
took to the seat. By that time the
turtle had gone under the next seat
and was trying to knock out of his
way the brogans of a colored laborer.
He hopped into the aisle. When the
tortoise had gone under the third seat
he came into contact with the hand
of a woman who had proceeded to
get ready to move some bundles on
the floor. She nearly fainted. Then
the conductor captured the animal
and the boys, who had been looking so
innocent, asked to be given the reptile
to "take home." And the conductor
gave it to them.
When it is considered that more
than 2,000 candidates' names were
classified and listed after being verified
at the State Department before the
pamphlet giving names of state, con
gressional and legislative nominees
was issued it is astonishing that there
were practically no errors, in one in
stance it was found that a man's name
had one too many letters and another
kicked on the use of a letter left out.
The funniest one in the list, however,
was a man who called up and com
plained about a wrong initial. "You've
given me the same name as my
cousin." the candidate complained.
He s a nice fellow, but he's a Demo
crat.
It's rather surprising, when one
thinks about it, that there are no
Hags of light batteries of Pennsylva
nia's volunteers in the Civil War dis
played in the cases in the Capitol
rotunda. Almost every other organ
ization is commemorated—infantry
cavalry, heavy artillery and signal
corps—but for some reason there are
none of the familiar red guidons bear
ing the crossed cannon which were
such a feature of the Pennsylvania
militia in the great war. The names
of Rickett's and other batteries are
great in American history and it's
rather odd that none of them has a
flag in the State House.
The "jag list" provided by the county
poor authorities to prevent liquor be
ing sold to persons who are depend
ents or beneficiaries of the county is
the successor of a similar list made
out in the nineties. In that period
there were a good many men who
could not find work and who had,
much against their Inclinations, to ac
cept the bounty of the public. At the
same time there was the usual number
of "regulars" who accepted the aid
without any qualms and who when
they got a dollar ahead spent it for
rum. Now it happened that some of
the beneficiaries became known for
their bibulous ways and it caused some
complaint from those who had to ac
cept county aid. So a list was made
and passed around. It resulted in
some vigorous "flagging" at bars.
People have to take their hats off to
Denver. It has a number of Penn
sylvanians in its make-up and it cer
tainly has some Keystone State meth
ods coupled with Rocky Mountain en
terprise. Take, for Instance, the let
ters being sent out by firms in that
city. They announce that business is
Rood and looks better; that the strike
has not bothered any one at all and
that Uncle Sam's probe has proved
that a lot of people who traduced
the State were in the same class as
those who throw mud at Pennsylvania.
They have had a lot of rain and the
farmers are happy. Incidentally, the
letter asks that the good word he
passed along. When It comes down
to boosting those Denver men KO some.

SIXTY-TWO CENTS
DlPll'S RITE

Philadelphia Paper Analyzes the
Expenditure of the McCormick
Committees Here
DEWALT BUMPS PLATFORM
Lehigh County Committee Lines
Up With Clearfield—Dr.
Brumbaugh Is Gaining
Sixty-two cents a vote was what it
cost to get out the votes for McCor
mick in this county at the May pri
-1 mary, according to an article pub
lished in the Philadelphia Inquirer
yesterday morning. The article gives
figures from the accounts of the Dem
ocratic Citizens' League and the Pal
mer - McCormick League, which
handled the campaign work for the
Harrisburg candidate, and says:
"The organizations, one known as
'The Democratic Citizens' Committee
of Dauphin county,' and the other as
'The Palmer-McCormick League of
Harrisburg," acknowledge having ex
vended $2,184.23 In the single county
of Dauphin. And there are sixty-six
other counties in Pennsylvania.
"As Palmer and McCormick polled
in round figures 3,500 votes in Dau
phin county, the two committees alone
expended an average of 62 cents for
each vote recorded for these candi
dates, aside from any other expendi
tures that may have been made for a
like purpose and not reported.
"Dauphin has never been distin
guished as a cheap county for candi
dates in whose behalf it was consid
ered necessary to make a money cam
paign, but the heavy cost of the Pal
mer-McConnick campaign last month,
and in a primary election at that, is
still the talk of the county.
"The omission of the names of the
'watchers' practically makes the ex
pense account of little value. The
publication of the names of the
'watchers' in Clinton county, where
the expense of polling the Palmer-
McCormick primary votes was about
$1.47 each, was a revelation to the
citizens who did not share in the dis
tribution of the reorganizers' cam
paign funds."
A statement issued by the Dimmick
campaign committee last night strik
ingly shows the strength of Dr. Mar
tin G. Brumbaugh, the
Republican candidate
Brumbaugh for Governor. The
Strength statement gives a com-
Is Shown pllation of the vote for
the doctor in various
counties. It says In
part; "Dr. Brumbaugh polled 253,788
votes out of 320,097 cast for Republi
can gubernatorial candidates and
Senator Penrose 219,871 out of 332,-
265 cost for senatorial candidates. In
Philadelphia the Brumbaugh vote was
87,075. In Allegheny county, the
Brumbaugh vote was 47,180. Brum
baugh carried every county carried by
Dimmick, including Cambria, the
home county of Mayor Cautfiel, of
Johnstown, who was Brumbaugh's
leading opponent. Brumbaugh had
3,369 votes in Cambria and his vote
in Lackawanna county, the home
county of Dimmick, was 6,248."
Democrats all over the State are
rubbing their eyes over the perform
ance of the Democratic county com
mittee of Lehigh on
Saturday. Coming so
soon after the thrash- Dewalt Hits
ing given to the friends Platform of
of the State candi- McCormick
dates in Clearfield
county, and the public
denunciation of the activity of the
McCormick postmasters, the Lehigh
action has furnished fresh indication
of the divisions among the Democrats.
Ex-Senator Arthur G. Dewalt, the
nominee for Congress, who was guillo
tined by the reorganization commit
tee headed by McCormick, controlled
the committee and slated all of the
officers. His supporters got out of
hand, incidentally, and jeered and
hooted the supporters of Congress
man Rothermel, who was defeated by
Dewalt and then refused the mint su
perintendency. Attention was called
to the Industrial depression in the
region and then Dewalt made a speech
that was ripped to pieces by the Roth
ermel men in the meeting. He plead
ed for support for the National and
State platforms, and for the State
ticket from Palmer and McCormick
down to Congress and Assembly. He
then turned around and In spite of the
fact that the platform of McCormick
as a candidate for Governor declares
for local option and woman's suffrage,
announced that such declarations aro
undemocratic.
Two speeches and four receptions is
the record made by Senator Boies
Penrose on Independence Day at
Ephrata. One of the
speeches and two of the
Penrose Is receptions were purely
Greeted in political, while the
Eplirata principal address of
the day, delivered on
historic ground, was a
historical review, punctuated with pa
triotic sentiment. He spoke from a
grandstand in Ephrata Park, and that
interest had been stimulated to an
acute pitch is shown by the fact that
more than 3,000 persons, men and
women, paid 25 cents admission each
to "sit under him" and hear what he
had to say of the development and
glory of the American Republic. It
was evident that Senator Penrose did
not know an admission was to be
charged until he reached the gate, and
there was some foreboding among his
retinue lest the audience would be
small. This uneasiness was not well
founded. A constant stream of people
flowed through the gate and they were
still arriving when he was introduced
by the Rev. Dr. Zerfass, a public
school teocher, a Seventh Day Bap
tist and, as he expressed it, "a Repub
lican stump speaker ever since he was
in his teens."
Democrats throughout the State are
manifesting considerable uneasiness
over the meeting of the executive
committee at the State
Windmill in Market
Square on Wednesday. Democrats
It is feared that the Uneasy at
row in Philadelphia Prospects
may arouse resentment
in other counties, and
it is possible that a scheme may be
worked to have the whole thing re
ferred to a committee for investiga
tion so that it can be held over the
heads of the Old Guard. The Hunt
ingdon county contest is expected to
bet settled pretty speedily, as It Is a
local tight and the county is bound to
go for Brumbaugh anyway. The com
mittee will talk finance, campaign
plans and other things and be given
a chance to Inspect the candidates,
i Gates open at noon.

ROOSKVKI/r'S HEALTH
[From the Phlla. Public Ledger]
Ex-President Roosevelt's health
causes considerable anxiety. He re
turned from South America bearing
teh marks of the insidious jungle
fever. His once vigorous bodily health
was much reduced, and his medical
advisers have urged him to take a
long rest. It Is sincerely hoped that
he will obey the doctor's orders, and
return to public life with renewed
health and enthusiasm.
Theodore Roosevelt, more than any
American since Lincoln, appeals to
the popular imagination. Many of the
characteristics which men admire are
expressed in his aggressive person
ality, and whether one agrees with
him or not one must admire the dra
matic action of the man. For some
years he has been the most striking
figure on the American stage. If com
pelled to retire for a season he will be
missed by all classes of his country
men. Mr. Roosevelt has been a Presi
dent, a typical expression of individual
Americanism, and a party; he Is more
widely known and respected through
out the world than any other living
American.
In this period of pause and physical
disability, he has the sympathy of the
entire nation. The American people
may dlqer widely in their political
opinions, but they all agree in admir
ing a good fighter and recognizing a
real man.
Proclaim we are glad we were born
In a land
The best that Is under the sky,
And are proud of that truly Ameri
can day.

"Girard," in the Philadelphia Public

"I hear only the best of things of tho I
new Historical Commission appointed i
by Governor Toner, which is now busily' l
at work. It went over the situation ill ,
Philadelphia recently, and lias looked
over Pittsburgh and surveyed Lancas

"Even if only half of what is propos

Symbols
aren't letters —you can't
mail short-hand books.

part of it getting ready to
write them and only a few
hours at the day's end in
actual productive work.
