TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 14
FUSION TALK
COLON&L ROOSEVELT has de
clared repeatedly that there can
be no fusion between the Dem
ocrats and the Progressives;
that such a move would be like
the mixing of oil and water. A. Mit
chell Palmer, the boss of the Wilson
machine in Pennsylvania, has also said
on several recent occasions that fusion
between the Democrats and Progres
sives is not to be considered.
But there are persistent rumors that
efforts are being made for the amalga
mation of the two parties for the Fall
campaign. It looks like a last despe
rate scheme to save the bacon of some
ambitious political bosses who are
nearing the "peaceful twilight of their
little day.
There would be written on every
fusion ballot in large letters —"Politi-
cal Deal." Now "deal" is a word that
has been synonymous with conspiracy
in the dictionary of the Palmers, the
McCormlcks and the Pinchots. It is
an amusing thought to imagine them
as fusion candidates wearing the tag
conspicuously on their coat lapels.
Flinn and Palmer could not get away
with it and furthermore both Palmer
and McCormlck would hear from the
White House if they attempted it.
They are the President's personal se
lections for the sacrifice in Pennsyl
vania. They got his support through
representations that placed them In
the light of being sure winners. The
White House endorsement of this pair
has cost the administration and Pres
ident Wilson personally thousands of
friends and admirers In Pennsylvania,
and it is not likely that either one
or the other would be permitted to get
out of the way of the avalanche that
Is sure to overwhelm Democracy In
this State next Fall.
Furtherm'ore, such a move would
be the signal unquestionably for an
uprising on the part of the "Old
Guard." who would then come to the
fore as the real Democratic party. It
must be remembered that Henry
Budd, Democratic aspirant for the
senatorshlp, received at the primaries
70,252 votes to Palmer's 119,302, and
his friends are still smarting under
their defeat, accomplished, they say,
by the lavish use of money and fed
eral patronage. This would be quite
a fine little start for him as a candi
date in November.
On the face of it the fusion plan
would appear to be stupid and im
practical.
Arrangements have been
made for an outing of the Chamber of
Commerce at the Inglenook Club on
Friday of next week. These outings
are quite as important as the more
serious discussions of the central busi
ness organization, inasmuch as they
bring together the representative busi
ness men of the community in a social
way. Good fellowship is an* important
asset in promoting the welfare of any
city.
Enormous crops have saved the
United States from an even more seri
ous industrial depression than that
which now prevails. As a matter of
fact an administration at Washington
In which the people had confidence
would have made the depression a
mere flurry.
HINT TO BOY SCOUTS
EACH ■year the Boy Scouts of
Bristol, England, participate In
a cup competition, which Is
usually designed to Interest
them in some of the many social
problems with which they will come
into contact in later years. This year
the competition takes the form of re
ports from each of the four troops,
embodying "good, practical, an 1 eco
nomical suggestions in the plainest and
shortest language on the best means
of beautifying and Improving their
respective geographical districts. As
the scope of the competition is broad
enough to permit all reasonable ideas
being: Included, it is hoped that the
suggestions will tend to economy
rather than to expenditure."
Although, the competition Is pri
marily for the benefit and Instruction
of the boys, and Is formed to familiar
ise them with their native city and to
develop them into good thinking and
working citizens, it should aUo, and
doubtless will, be an encouragement
TUESDAY EVENING, BARRISBURG %%%£& TELEGRAPH JULY 14, 1914.
to every resident of Bristol to take an
active Interest in municipal affairs.
Here Is a thought for Ilarrlsburg
Boy Scouts. Why not divide up the
city into districts and report on what
each district needs most In the way of
boautiflcatlon, public Improvements
or betterments that the Individual resi
dent could make?
The Telegraph believes that City
i Council would be very glad to receive
• such a report. Certainly it would be
| enlightening as to the viewpoint of
j the future voter on what hia home
city Is and should be.
It's too bad that Just when the ad
ministration Senators at Washington
and the Wilson apologists among the
newspapers are doing their level best
to defend the administration policies
and becloud the facts, the dally dis
patches should tell the story of Demo
cratic splits, as In Wisconsin and
Louisiana, and give prominence to the
increasing price of meats to the Civil
War level, when the Democratic party
had promised a reduction of the cost
of living. Nor do headlines like this
in to-day's papers aid the "prosperity
boom" of the frightened Wilson man
agers: "310 Men Thrown Idle—Depres
sion Close 3 Two Reading Stove Fac
tories."
GOD'S FRESH AIR
UNDREDS of men in Harris-
Hburg who were once boys on
the farm are dreaming in these'
midsummer days of the old j
swimming hole, "the meadows and
the deep-tangled wildwood," and the
back-to-the-farm microbe is exceed
ingly active in all the congested cen
ters of population. All over the United
States the trend is toward the farm
and here's a New York story apropos:
"Lower Broadway is going to lose one
of its newsies. Isidore Greenberg, who
for thirteen years has sold papers at
the northeast corner of Broadway and
Fulton street, is going to enter Cornell
to study si ientllliv agriculture!
"He told a reporter that he had been
selling newspapers since he was five
years old. He is 18.
" 'I kept my wits about me,' was the
way he put it. 'I worked hard, I
studied and observed men and events,
and now 1 am going to be graduated
from the street corner. It was a good
'prep' school, even if It was a hard one.'
" 'But why scientific agriculture?' he
was asked. Why not the law or medi
cine?'
" 'The woods are full of them,' said
Izzy, 'and then you've got to remember
that scientific, agriculture is the coming
thing. I've stood on the corner down
there many a long afternoon looking
and listening and thinking it all out.
" 'l've watched the faces of thousands
of men and women who passed me in
the crowds, and it struck me that a lot
of them were playing a losing game.
Tlicy were prisoners of the city, serv
ing a life sentence.
" 'I knew that tho day would come
when I'll have to quit the gamo on the
corner, and I kept wondering what I d
do. The outdoor life has made me hard
as nails. 1 wanted to find something
that would keep me out in Gbd's fresh
air—something that I liked and that
would be a paying proposition.
" 'And then it all came to me in a
flash. People have forgotten that all
the wealth in the world comes out of
the ground. They've left the open
places of the earth and have crowded
into the markets in the cities, and they
are stepping on each other and nar
rowing themselves, mentally and phys
icallv, while they grub for pay dirt.
" 'Pretty soon, some day, they are
going to'go back home —back to the
forests and the farms, and when the
back-to-nature movement starts the
man who has specialized In scientific
agriculture is going to have his day.
And Isidore has it right. We need
scientific farmers. Our prosperity and
happiness and comfort rest with the
soil. If the present industrial depres
sion will send back to the farm hun
dreds of boys who are crowding the
cities, It may be a blessing in dis
guise.
PARENT AND CHILD
TRUTH of the saying "as the
mother so the child" was forci
bly demonstrated the other day
on a Paxtang car. Two women, -
each with daughters about 6 years of
age, were riding directly back of each ,
other. All were going to the park.
One of the little lassies was quiet, '
respectful, attentive. The other was |\
petulant, restless, complaining and '
resentful of her mother's interference j
when she wanted to do this, that or
the other thing. And the mothers !
were the absolute prototypes of their .
daughters! The one pointed out
things of interest, quietly and in a
way that showed the tot and her '
mother were the best of chums. The
other kept jangling and scolding '
nearly all the way to the park, and !
when asked to explain certain won
drous things about "what made the !
cars go," she rudely told the little one 1
to "shut up."
And there was taught a lesson that 1
every father and every mother well '
might learn. If you expect courtesy
from Johnny or Mary you must be 1
courteous around them and to them. ,
If you wish them to be kind, consid- i
erate and loving toward others, you
must never be unkind or inconsiderate i
In their presence. Children, like
monkeys, are wonderful imitators. !
The Presbytery of Carlisle having
dissolved the bands existing between '
the Rev. Dr. J. Ritchie Smith and the
Market Square Presbyterian Church, '
the popular and eloquent pastor will
preach his final sermon next Sunday.
While his host of friends are pleased
to see him elevated to the important ,
chair of homiletics at the Princeton '
Seminary, they greatly regret his leav- j
ing Harrisburg, where he has taken so i
active a part in the city's life. i
As to hoathouses and facilities for 1
getting to the river when the River
Front improvement shall have been
completed, it need only be said that !
from the beginning of the planning of i
this great Improvement it has been un- ]
derstood that ample provision will ho -
made for boathouses and landings at 1
several points in the city. Private 1
owners of boathouses have no occasion
for alarm.
If you haven't inspected the public
work of the city, there is no more in
teresting little stunt awaiting you. All
the heads of departments are busy
pushing along the several Important
projects and great headway has been
made since the work was started sev
eral weeks ago.
When business men write letters to
Congressmen it Is conspiracy. When
they write to President Wilson it Is a
sign that the good people of the coun
try are with the administration.
"This is the time of year when it Is
wise to 'keep your shirt on." " says the
Philadelphia Inquirer. Time to take It
off. we should say.
I EVENING CHAT I
Ex-Attorney General Hampton L.
, Carson says "the truths of history are
more important than fiction." He is
much interested in the proposed na
tional celebration of Independence Day
at Philadelphia, but quite disturbed
over certain Inaccuracies of statement
j regarding the Declaration. "The most
glaring of these, he says, "is the story
of the blue-eyed boy signaling to his
i grandfather in the belfry and shouting
to him: 'Ring, ring.' This is pure
fiction, ■ Invented by George Llppard,
the novelist, in his novel, 'Blanche of
Brandywine." Unfortunately, it was
copied, without examination of its
origin, by Benson J. lxissing in a foot
note to his "Field Book of the Revo
lution.' The most reliable authorities,
such as the 'Diary of Christopher Mar
shall,' the letters of John Adams to his
wife, the 'l_,ife of Richard Henry Lee'
and Sanderson's 'Lives of the Signers,'
make It plain that the Resolution for
the Independence of the Colonies was
introduced by Richard Henry Lee, of
\Jrglnia, on the second day of June,
1776; the debate ran for a month; the
vote was taken on July 2; the draft of
the Declaration of Independence, as
drawn by JeffersOn, slightly modified
by Franklin and John Adams, was
signed on July 4 by John Hancock,
President, and Charles Tompson, sec
retary, alone; no public announcement
was made on July 4. nor was there any
ringing of the bell. The delay was due
to the absence of instructions to the
New York delegates. These were not
received until the Bth of July, and then
; public announcement was made by the
reading of the Declaration aloud to
the people in the fequare by John Nich
olson, and then the bell was rung. The
Declaration was not signed by the vari
ous members until some time in the
following August, an engrossed copy
being substituted for the draft signed
by Hancock and Tompson as officers.
By this time the terms of several mem
bers of the Continental Congress who
had participated in the debates and the
vote had expired and their places were
taken by men whose names appear as
signers who were not members on the
date of the vote. » * *
"The second error is the statement
that John Marshall was the last sur
vivor of the signers and the last asso
ciate of Washington. John Marshall
was not a signer, nor even a member
of the Continental Congress. In 1770
he was but 21 years old, and was In
the Virginia militia, and a student of
law. Thomas Jefferson and John Ad
ams, the first the author of the Decla
ration and the second 'the Colossus of
Independence' In debate upon the floor,
both died July 4, 1826, on the fiftieth
anniversary of the Fourth of July,
1776, each one unconscious of the seri
ous illness of the other; John Adams'
closing words being 'Thomas Jefferson
still lives." The last survivor of the
signers was Charles Carroll of Carroll
ton, who died in 1832."
Reports received at the Capitol from
the farming districts in Pennsylvania
indicate that in some sections the corn
crop, which appeared to be most, flour
ishing a week ago, had been almost
wiped out by the heavy rains and high
winds accompanying the recent storms.
In some parts of the Susquehanna,
Cumberland, Lebanon and Juniata val
leys the downpour of rain on hillsides
washed out great patches of growing
corn and in come instances it was car
ried yards away and scattered over
roads and lanes. Many farmers will
lose over three-fourths of their corn.
In many sections the corn has been
blown almost flat and some of It can
not be saved. Other corn has been
tilted, but will probably ear, although
it will be very hard to handle when
ripe. In fact, most of the corn which
has been saved will be difficult to cut,
as much of it must be handled stalk
by stalk. The loss to the corn crop by
Friday night's storm alone will run
into thousands of dollars.
A new lino of complaints is receiving
the serious consideration of officials
of the Public Service Commission be
cause of the number and widespread
character of the letters. Incidentally,
it is one of the very last forms of com
plaint one would suppose would reach
tho commission. In Schuylkill, Berks
and several other counties complaints
have been filed that sparks from rail
road engines set fire to hay in the
fields and also by burning stubble ne
cessitated considerable work to extin.
gulsh the blaze. In another complaint
it is contended that the sparks from
engines indicate that they are not
properly equipped with spark arresters
and that a number of fires have been
caused by them. Another man says
that the cinders anrl sparks falling on
fields beside tho tracks are ruining the
soil, as there is heavy traffic. Investi
gations are being made into these com
plaints with a view to determining
causes and then the matter will be
brought to the attention of railroad
men.

DEMOCRATS START
ABUSE OF FLU
Rather Suspicious in the Vehe
mence of Their Denials of
the Fusion Scheme
PALMER LOSES SUAVITY
Machine Plans to Run Around In
stead of Over the Old Guard
in Philadelphia
"Who threw the fusion proposition
into the waste basket?" is the topic
which has replaced "Who got the most
for serving as a McCormick watcher?"
Judging from the vehement man
ner In which Congressman A. Mit
chell Palmer and other Democratic
bosses are taking flings at William
Flinn and the rest of the Bull Moos
ers, it would seem that they are try
ing to create the impression that
fusion was a Washington party move.
They would have it appear as being de
signed to save the Progressives from
tbe humiliation of a showing such as
the Keystone party made a few years
after the last gubernatorial campaign,
in which, by the way, Candidate Mc-
Cormick did not support the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor, but
Palmer did.
Speaking in Washington yesterday
Palmer said that there was "no chance"
for a fusion deal with the Washing
ton party, that Fllnn could not In
duce him to get out of the race and
let Gifford Pinchot have plain sailing,
and that he did not know anything
about fusion. Congressman Warren
Worth Bailey, who sometimes upsets
the apple cart by being too brisk, said
that the only way Flinn could show
he was sincere was to accept the
whole Democratic ticket. Other Dem
ocratic Congressmen, who had hoped
that they could freeze out Bull Moose
candidates and get the Roosevelt men
to be the tails of their kites, are also
denouncing the idea of fusion now. It
will be recalled that some time ago
State Chairman Morris, of the Demo
cratic machine, talked loudly about
the value of effecting fusion, but the
damper was suddenly shut down as It
has been on the stacks of a good many
iron mills In Pennsylvania lately.
In an article on the Democratic
situation in Allegheny county, a staff
correspondent of the Philadelphia
Ledger says: "The Pub
lic Ledger representa-
Allegrheny tlve, after spending
Democrats nearly a week in Pitts-
Are Angry burgh, is convinced
that whatever strength
Palmer and McCor
mlck may have had here has been
greatly weakened by the appointment
of Thomson, who was opposed by a
majority of the members of the Alle
gheny Bar Association.
"A canvass of the situation without
pnejudlce and with a desire merely to
get at the facts will convince any stu
dent of politics who Is not prejudiced
that the backward swing of the pen
dulum toward regular Republicanism
has received an Impetus so pro
nounced that its initial velocity cannot
be overcome.
"The evidence Is on every hand
that, so far as Allegheny county Is
concerned, Palmer Is out of It, and
It is equally certain that McCormick
was never In it."
The Palmer-McCormlck machine
has decided to run around the Old
Guard's city committee In Philadel
phia instead of run
ning over it. Fearing
that If the State ex- Machine to
ecutive committee Run Around,
ripped out the city Not Over
committee In Phila-
delphia the courts
would overturn the action because
the committee was elected by the
Democrats of the Quaker City, the
bosses have decided to ignore the city
committee In the campaign and to
have a committee of their own. • This
will be done by the formation of a
Palmer-McCormlck league, which will
be recognized by the State committee
to the extent of being given financial,
literary, oratorical, friendly and other
assistance, while the city committee
elected by the people will be ignored
as far as possible. The scheme is to
have the new league meet, endorse the
State platform, which the city com
mittee declined to do, and then dra
matically offer Its services for the sal
vation of the State.
State Chairman William E. Crow,
who Is in Philadelphia, said last night
that the Republican State platform
draft would be circulated
before the meeting of
Crow Is the State committee in
Planning Pittsburgh on August
Campaign 26, notwithstanding at
tempts which are being
made by Democratic
bosses to have it appear that it will
be a secret affair. The plan Is for
the subcommittee to finish it early in
August and then send copies to every
member of the State committee. The
Senator is spending the week In con
ference with up-State leaders and per
fecting plans for the meeting of the
State committee In Pittsburgh and for
tbe opening Republican rally in I>e
hlgh county on August 29. Chairman
Crow said yesterday that stories that
Brumbaugh would run his own cam
paign tours were fakesj
Gifford Pinchot spoke from the
steps of the county courthouse at
Norrlstown last night to an audience
which was not more than about one
tenth the size of that which heard him
In the presidential campaign when he
was speaking for his friend, Theodore
Roosevelt. The audience. It is gener
ally admitted, Is representative of the
sentiment which prevails now for the
Washington party compared to what
it was two years ago.

A SUGGESTION
Hy Wlnit IHnger
Since everyone Is trying to
Devise some little ways
To make for comfort of the cops
On these hot summer days,
I d like to say a word or two
About a little plan
That I am sure will give relief
To every policeman.
Why not encase each In a cask
From armpits down to knees?
Which should fit loosely to Insure
That there shall be no squeeze.
And 'round the Inside of the cask
Put pipes through which may run
A constant stream of water cold
Then they'll not mind the sun.
