FRTDAY EVENING. .II 7 1, V 17
THE POST AND WILSON
THE Saturday Evening Post, in
dependent in politics, but long a
supporter of President Wilson
In many of his undertakings,
has at last turned on the Administra
tion.
Its advice to Congress is to go home
and take a rest.
It intimates that the President and
the legislators he holds so securely un
der his thumb are both suffering from
self-hypnosis, are tilting at windmills
and totally incapable in their present
deluded state of mind of seeing things
is they really are. Says the Post:
Power begets a false air. Hardly
anybody dares tell a Napoleon an
unpleasant truth. It Is far more
profitable to tell him what he
wishes to hear. That the Presi
dent of the Fnited States may be
misled Is demonstrable by going
back no further than last January,
when Mr. Wilson assured Congress
» that business men generally were
quite ready to take the Democratic
antitrust program to their bosoms.
Of late, representative business
organizations and individuals all
over the country have been protest
ing against the enactment of that
program and begging Congress to
go home. There can he no reason
able doubt that "the hest business
judgment of America," for which
Mr. Wilson assumed to speak in
January, regards the Administra
tion's antitrust measures as crude,
confused, ill-advised and mischiev
ous. hut in the many and widely
dispersed expressions of that opin
ion Washington inclines to see only
a conspiracy, presumably hatched
in Wall Street.
This shows how badly Washing
ton needs a rest. When men get
into such a state that they can ac
count for a disagreement with them
only by Imputing a sinister motive
for it, they need repose and fresh
air.
The disagreeable truth is that the
antitrust measures provoke alarm
in representative business circles.
If Congress is too far out of touch
with the country to realize this, it
needs to go home. Virtually it has
been in continuous session since
March. 1913—in the false air of the
capital, where whatever the lead
ers judge to be expedient for the
party Is taken as tantamount to
what the country judges to be ex
pedient for itself.
A prompt adjournment is the best
and most useful measure Congress
can adopt.
This is precisely the attitude of
many newspapers, Including the Tele
graph.
Big business does need regulation,
but not In the haphazard, hit-or-miss,
klll-or-cure manner proposed by Presi
dent Wilson. He has done nothing to
help business and much to hurt lt
since he took office. The best thing
that could happen, as the Post says,
would be to have Congress go home
for a long rest and, we might add, give
the President a month or two in which
to Improve his golf form.
Attorney General Mcßeynolds says he
will not prosecute the New Haven di
rectors "until the pending case con
cludes." Which gives them all splendid
opportunity for a peaceful old age.
GOOD ROADS PROFITS
IT Is gratifying to note the activities
of the State Highway Department
in the matter of road repair work
since the release of the automobile
license funds. The regrettable thing Is
that this money was not available in
the early Spring, when it would have
gone much farther than in the pres
ent badly worn condition of the high
ways.
The importance of having the roads
smooth and hard during the late sum
mer and Fall months, when crops are
being hauled to market. Is shown in a
recent report of the United States De
partment of Agriculture of studies
made in Virginia. Conditions in Spot
sylvania county were investigated with
particular care and the results have
proved surprising. In 1909 the county
voted SIOO,OOO to improve forty miles
of roads. Two years after the comple
tion of this work the railroad took
away in twelve months from Fred
ericksburg, the county seat, 71,000
tons of agricultural and forest prod
ucts hauled over the highways to
that town. Before the improvement
of the roads this total was only 49,-
000 tons annually; in other words, the
quantity of the county's produce had
risen more than 4 5 per cent. Still
piore interesting, however, is the In
crease shown In the quantity of the
(airy products. In 1909 these amount
ed to 114,815 pounds; in 1911 to 273,-
028 pounds, an increase of practically
340 per cent, in two years. In the
pame time shipments of wheat had in
FRIDAY EVENING, HAKRISBURG TELEGRAPH JULY 17, 1914.
j creased 59 per cent., tobacco 31 per
cent., and lumber and other forest
products 4 8 per cent.
In the past tw i o years the traffic
studies of the federal experts show
that approximately an average of 65,-
000 tons of outgoing products were
hauled over the improved roads In
the county, an average dlftance of
eight miles, or a total of 520,000 "ton
miles." Before the roads were im
proved it was estimated that the aver
age cost of hauling was 20 cents a
"ton-mile;" after the Improvement
this fell to 12 cents a "ton-mile," or a
saving of 8 cents. A saving of 8 cents
per mile on 520,000 "ton-miles" is
$41,000 a year. The county's invest
ment of SIOO,OOO in other words re
turns a dividend of 40 per cent, an
nually.
Because this saving, in cases of this
character, does not take the form of
cash put directly Into the farmers'
pocket there Is a widespread tendency
to believe that It is fictitious profit,
while as a matter of fact it Is just as
real a source of profit as the Increase
in the price of wheat.
Huerta is out. But has that solved
the Mexican muddle? The Wilson ad
ministration is back of the Constitu
tionalists. When they take charge in
Mexico City what Improvement will
there be? Is Villa any better than
Huerta? Mr. Bryan congratulates the
President on the "successful consum
mation of his Mexican policy." He
might well have withheld his congratu
lations for a few weeks.
PATIENCE IS EXHAUSTED
IT is perfectly evident to those who
are able to diagnose political con
ditions that the Democratic party
in this State is divided into two
hostile camps—one dominated by the
Wilson machine In charge of Palmer
and McCormick, and the other con
trolled by the working Democrats who
are usually referred to in a con
temptuous manner by their rivals as
the "bipartisan gangsters."
Absence of teamwork In the party
has been evident for some weeks, and
what is true of the machine In Penn
sylvania is likewise true of the whole
Democratic organization throughout
the country. President Wilson, for In
stance, says there Is no business de
pression, while Mayor Mltchel, of New
York city, gives the great business de
pression as his reason for urging
economy upon the Board of Estimate.
There is the same lack of harmony In
Congress and wherever Democrats get
together.
Perhaps nothing has so seriously af
fected the public attitude toward the
Democratic party under its present
leadership as the absolute indifference
of the President and those who ap
plaud him to the earnest protests of
businessmen against the foolish course
of the Administration in Its legislative
nagging.
It has not been forgotten that
throughout the campaign resulting in
the election of President Wilson assur
ances were given from the candidate
himself, and down the line, that no
action would be taken which would
be antagonistic to legitimate business.
How well this promise has been ful
filled manufacturers and businessmen
are best qualified to speak.
The Daily State Gazette of Trenton.
In a dispassionate review of present
conditions, says;
It cannot be truthfully said that
the manufacturers and wage earn
ers In the city of Trenton are as
prosperous as they were a year ago,
and yet they are not howling ca- I
lamlty. They are heroically trying
to be satisfied with what they have
and confidently clinging to the hope
that some of the promises made to
them by President Wilson and the
members of Congress will he kept I
sooner or later. There Is every in
dication that the people will show
that their patience has been ex
hausted along about next Novem
ber.
Here In Pennsylvania it is no longer
a serious question as to what will
happen in November—the election of
the Republican ticket is a foregone
i conclusion—but it is a question of
how long the Administration at Wash
ington is going to continue the hax-
of the business and Industrial
Interests of the nation.
A. Mitchell Palmer, the choice of
the President for United States Sen
ator from Pennsylvania, Insists on
every occasion that after the program
of anti-trust legislation and a few
other radical measures shall have been
enacted everything will be lovely. And
this sort of tommyrot is echoed by
McCormick, the other of the White
House twins. But the voters are no
longer blind to the situation. They
are ready now to register their ver
dict, and the third of November
cannot come too soon to please most
of them.
It used to be the general belief that
Chinamen were fond of rats, but in
view of the fact that China last year
exported nearly 3,000.000 pounds of
hair, Chinamen will be excused If they
believe the shoe Is on the other foot.
INCREASING EXPENSES
JUST what the cities of the United
States over 30,000 in population
are doing with their money is
shown In an Interesting census re
port recently issued. According to this
report the cost of government in mu
nicipalities of this class has advanced
33 per cent., or from $13.02 per capita
to $17.34. Thirty-two cents of this in
crease was for police protection;
20 cents for fire protection, and $1.41
for education. The remainder of the
increase went for such things as health
and sanitation, playgrounds, parks,
municipal Improvements, and so on.
Ordinarily such Increases might not
be looked upon with pleasure; but in
view of the fact that nearly all the
increases went toward better living
conditions and education, perhaps it
Is not so bad that municipal taxes are
higher now than they used to be.
Certainly we in Harrisburg have been
getting our money's worth.

1 EVENING CHAT I
The army worm is not to be suf
ilu t0 Ket a hold on Capitol Park
i it any of ltß numerous feet if the
vigilance of the gardening force of
Father Penn can prevent it. Men con
nected with the park have been out
to examine the gardens where the
worm has been holding banquets and
have gotten first hand information as
to its appearance and the acres of
lawn -are being carefully scanned for
any traces of the voracious worm. In
cidentally. the watchfulness has Re
sulted in the rooting out of some
other pests which had started to spend
the summer' on Capitol Hill. The
garden force is varying the watchful
waiting for the army by exterminating
the caterpillars on the trees and about
the building. Every place that the
tent of one of the yellow crawlers is
spied is scraped with the end of a
broom stick and the ledges of the
granite building, the bases of pillars,
sides of door frames, even the inter
stices of the great bronze doors and
the graceful bends of the Barnard
statuary have been scooped clean of
the cocoons of the pests, while scores
of tree trunks have been cleaned off.
Each of the garden force has killed
his fifties and his hundreds and some
of them have thousands. It is only
by such work that the caterpillars
are kept down at the Capitol and doz
ens of pigeons and birds are helping
along the work as a sort of return for
the quarters alloted to them on Capitol
Hill. The blackbirds appear to be
especially fond of ripping up the tents
and while they do not always eat the
worms they take a great delight in
tearing apart the Silken boudoirs of
the creeping things.
The visit of an owl to the United
States Senate the other day recalls
sundry visits of pigeons, sparrows and
an owl to the House of Representa
tives last year. The hall of the House
Is ventilated in summer time by open
ing the windows which are as big
as the side of a house and pigeons
and birds used to fly in and listen to
the debates. On the last night of the
session an owl flew in and after some
scrambling around roosted away up.
Paper balls and books were thrown
at it and it left with a poor opinion
of the Keystone State legislators. The
owl was afterwards caught in Capitol
Park.
Several one-time tennis enthusiasts
who appeared on the Reservoir courts
for the first time this season—coaxed
out presumably by the call for tour
nament entries gravely discussed
their possible showing after the couple
of years' lay-off.
"Oh, well," observed one of them.
"I guess I'm a 'has-been.' "
"Um-m, yes," assented a compan
ion, "although it's something to have
been on the tennis courts here at all.
I rather like the game. And I'd rather
be a 'has-been' 'at tennis than a
'never-was.' "
"Think it better," grinned the oth
er. "to have 'loved and lost,' eh?"
From present indications Harris
burg city councilmen are not going to
get much of a vacation this summer.
Under the old form of government
councils took n much needed rest
every summer by holding one meeting
the last Monday in June, the first
Monday in July and the last Monday
in August, thus keeping within the
councllmanic rules authorizing at
least one session per month anrl still
giving the members the benefit of
quite a vacation. The city commis
sioners. however, made no provision
for such a contingency in its rules and
unless these regulations are amended
meetings will be held regularly once
a week throughout the hot months re
gardless of the fact that there will be
little or no legislation to transact.
True, as has been pointed out by some
city officials, the commissioners could
go away for a couple of weeks at a
time—despite the fact that there
seems to ne a little tension over the
problem of who's who. But some
how none of them want to be the
first to take the chance. And for that
they'll all probably stay at home.

FLIXN'S FUSION
[Pittsburgh Gazette-Times.]
If there is anything that has been
dinned into the ears of the American
voter with particular emphasis by
Colonel Roosevelt and other high
priestsof the Progressive party It is the
importance of standing for distinctive
principles rather than for the mere
expediency which catches votes and
makes possible the election of candi
dates. This Is not the sort of politics,
however, that appeals to the eminently
practical, if not unscrupulous, William
Flinn, chief fugleman for the Bull
Moose in Pennsylvania. Hence his
plotting and conspiring to bring about
fusion between the Washington and
Democratic parties In this state. For
the lavish thousands of dollars that ho
invested in Armageddon two years ago
Mr. Flinn got few loaves and fishes,
and no contracts. If by a combination
with the party which Colonel Roose
velt declares has proved its Incapacity
and has brought depression to industry
and distress to all business, and es
pecially to the farmer and wage
worker. it Is feasible for Mr. Flinn to
land a few more friendly folks In
office, and thus win something con
crete instead of the unsubstantial pres
tige of, defeat out of all this turmoil,
then the imperishable principles of
Progressivism can go hang!
ABUSE OF AUTHORITY
Oh! it is excellent
To have a giant's strength; but it is
tyrannous
To use It like a giant.
Could great men thunder
As Jove himself does, Jove would ne'er
he quiet;
For every pelting, petty officer
Would use his heaven for thunder,
Nothing but thunder. Merciful Heaven!
Thou rather, with thy sharp and sul
phurous bolt,
Spllt'st the unwedgeable and gnarled
oak.
Than the soft myrtle; but man, proud
man;
Drest In a little brief authority—
Most ignorant of what he's most assur
ed,
Hl§ glassy essence—like an angry ape,
Plays such fantastic tricks before high
heaven.
As make the angels weep; who, with
our spleens.
Would all themselves laugh mortal.
—Shakespeare in "Measure for Measu
i lure."

Desire to Know Where the Money
Is Going to Come From For
the Big Campaign Work
CONGRESSMEN ARE ANGRY
Palmer Roasted at a Secret Meet
ing Held in Washington—
Fusion Wilted by Heat
Democratic county chairmen. State
committeemen and leaders from the
five counties of the new Fourth divi
sion discussed plans, heard an address
by State Chairman Morris and wanted
to know where all of the cash is go
ing to come - from to put over the elab
orate campaign work outlined at the
midsummer conference of the division
at the summer home of Division Boss
H. B. McCormick yesterday.
The meeting was attended by prac
tically everyone in authority in the
machine in the division and safe from
the prying newspaper reporters the
committeemen went over the plans. It
was emphasized that McCormick must
be put over and it was so strong that
some of the men present got the idea
that congressional and legislative
fights were a minor consideration.
While the conference was under
way news reached the city that the
Democratic congressmen in Washing
ton were assailing the Palmer-McCor
miek leadership and that Dr. Horace
Hosklns, one of the noisiest of reor
ganizes, had become miffed at State
Chairman Morris because he had been
turned down in his effort to become
superintendent of the mint.
Incidentally it developed at the con
ference that very few of the men In
charge of districts think they can hold
old line Democrats in case there is a
fusion ticket. The Emery campaign
of J 906 is still fresh in their minds.
Friends of McCormick are making
an effort in Philadelphia to get Mich
ael J. Ryan, defeated for the nomina
tion, show his Democ
racy by making
speeches for his rival. Ryan's Aid
Ryan has been a Demo- Sought by
erat in and out of sea- Machinists
son and McCormick,
who balked in 1910,
would be willing to accept his aid.
To help it along now it is being said
in Washington that on the day before
the primary, it was broadly intimated
by Democrats in close touch with the
President that he did not know his
Secretary of State was taking part in
the tight and that it was not the Presi
dent's desire that any of his official
family mix up in such matters. Since
the primary it has been reasserted
that the President was grieved at Mr.
Bryan's action. This explanation has
not satisfied the Ryan wing of the
State Democracy, and those in touch
with the situation declare that the
fight aga|nst Palmer, the administra
tion and all others who helped de
feat Ryan will be carried into the
campaign this Fall.
Democratic and Bull Moose bosses
are having a hard time to put
over the fusion deal to aid McCormick
and every county is
showing opposition. In
Fusion Is Philadelphia yesterday
Hitting Republican organization
Boulders leaders said that such a
ticket would not harm
Penrose and would ac
tually aid Doctor Brumbaugh in his
tight for the governorship. They said
that there were hundreds of Wash
ington party men and Republicans
who could be persuaded to vote for
Lewis, but who would not vote for a
Democrat. Such voters, they said,
would have no alternative, in event
of fusion, than to vote for the Repub
lican candidate, Doctor Brumbaugh.
They remarked, grimly, that they
would not hinder any efforts on the
part of the two opposition parties to
get together on such a basis.
A Washington dispatch to the
Philadelphia Inquirer shows that the

gressmen against the

Pennsylvania Democrats in Washing

mer will issue a statement reading
out of the reorganized party certain
prominent Democrats who refuse to
be muzzled and who are unwilling to
take orders from President Wilson's
personally-selected candidate for Sen
ator in the Keystone State. The se
cret meeting of the Pennsylvania dele
gation in the House last night is the
culmination of a .growing revolt
against the Palmer leadership. But
the proceedings of the gathering are
slowly coming to light and it is said
that Mr. Palmer spent two bad hours
listening to the criticism of his col
leagues in the House. It is said that
Mr. Donohoe's statement reflects the
views of a majority of the delegation.
Some plain talk was indulged in and
those present aired their grievances
fully."

When all the family goes away

It's well enough to shout "hurrah,"
But there's a different tone
When you come to the house at night
That's been shut up all day,

RKIiEASING THE HIGHWAY FlINI)
[Philadelphia Evening Telegraph.]
Having exhausted all the resources !
ot the law for delay and defeated at
every point, the Auditor General and
State Treasurer have been compelled
to honor the requisition of the High
way Commissioner on the fund derived
from automobile licenses, as was in
tended by act of the Legislature.
This money, which amounts to more
than a million dpllars this year, was
set aside by the Legislature for the
repair and maintenance of the State
highways, and all through the spring
and summer the use of it has been
greatly needed. Complaints of the bad
condition of roads have come from
many sections of the State, and the
Highway Department has been held to
blame.
The fault did not belong there. The
money was in the Treasury, and had
been appropriated, but the Auditor
General declined to pay It over on the
requisition of the Highway Depart
ment, ignoring the advice of the Attor
ney General and forcing the matter
Into court. When the Dauphin County
Court decided against him he took an
appeal to the Supreme Court, and
asked for a supersedeas, which would
have held up the money until the Su
preme Court could render an opinion,
several months hence.
As the supersedeas was denied tnere
was nothing else to do but pay over
the money, and the Highway Depart
ment has lost no time in getting men
busy on work that ought to have been
done months ago, and would have been
had it not been for this hold-up of
the appropriation to the public injury.
