THE TRUTH OF IT
WAGES paid to labor In Har
risburg to-day are lower than
those of a year ago.
Prices of foodstuffs and
household necessities are on an aver
age ten per cent, higher.
Labor was scarce last year; to-day
contractors can obtain any number
of men.
On these premises Republican news
papers are asked by Democratic poli
ticians and newspapers whose selfish
purposes are dependent on the popu
larity of the Wilson administration
to proclaim prosperity in the land.
Because the soup house is not a
prospect of the immediate future and
because starvation is not actually
threatening thousands of our people,
we are expected to keep quiet concern
ing the deplorable failure of the
Democrats at Washington and to
calmly submit to their mischievous
program of business legislation.
It has become a shameful thing
to point out the broken promises of
those in authority at the national cap
ital. We are to light the little gas jet of
things-as-they-ought-to-be and imme
diately the great sun of things-as
they-are will be blotted out! We are
to hide our heads, like the ostrich,
in the sands of the desert places and
dream ourselves into the midst of a
pleasant oasis. We are to imagine
that prices are lower under the new
tariff than under the old, and at once
our grocery bills will be reduced. We
are to tell ourselves that wages for the
day laborer —the man who needs the
money most—are higher than they
were under Republican rule, and at
once the pay envelope will be swelled.
We are to imagine more men are at
work now than a year ago and there
■will be jobs for all.
The thing is as silly as it is wicked.
It is not the province of the newspa
per to do other than reflect the condi
tions as they exist. If there be an evil
It becomes the duty of the newspaper
to point it out, and, if the remedy is
at hand, to suggest it. That is what
Republican, independent and many
fearless Democratio newspapers the
country over are doing.
In this land of plenty and to spare,
with record-breaking crops in sight
and harassed and impatient business
held in check only by the blunderers
at Washington, the workman has a
right to expect that his wages shall be
going up instead of coming down; that
he shall be permitted to share in the
bountiful gifts of nature, and, with
the tariff wall removed, that he shall
be given the benefit of the loudly her
alded lower prices that were to fol
low.
These are the things he was prom
ised and because he complains that
he has been fooled honest newspa
pers are asked to tell him to take a
back seat, shut up and be glad condi
tions are no worse.
"Don't tell the truth," has become
the slogan of the Democratic press.
PLANNING COMMISSION
THERE is pending before the City
Council an ordinance making an
appropriation for proper engi
neering services for the City
Planning Commission. At the ' meet
ing of the Council this week some ob
jection was made to the appropriation
on the score that funds were unavail
able or that these services might in
volve too great an outlay.
It is commendable that the commis
sioners should exercise great care in
the expenditure of public moneys, but
the economy should not be so rigid as
to hamper in any degree the impor
tant activities of a department which
*t»as placed upon it a responsibility that
Is little understood by many of our
jpeople.
For years the development of the
,suburban districts of Harrlsburg has
iheen along indifferent and careless
flines to the extent that when these
districts have been annexed to the
municipality enormous expense has
in making them conform to
the city proper, especially in the matter
yol sewers, street grades and water
SATURDAY EVENING, HAKRISBURG TELEGRAPH JULY 18. 1914
mains. Under the provisions of the
law creating the City Planning Com
mission authority is given for super
vision of these tracts beyond the city
limits to the end that when the day
Tor annexation comes there will be no
unreasonable or unnecessary expense.
Only yesterday it was necessary for
the new commission to go over one
or two tracts upon which there is to
be erected .i large number of dwellings
this year, and it is highly important
that there shall be no mistakes made
in the laying out of the streets and the
construction of drains and other gen
eral improvements necessary In a new
building development.
We trust that the Council will real
ize the Importance of the work of the
City Planning Commission and give it
the support which its work deserves.
This commission is composed of five
representative citizens and, as they
are giving their services without cost,
It is as little as the city can do to pro
vide for the necessary expense of Its
operations.
CREASY AT IT AGAIN
j t p-«ARMER" CREASY Is at It
|H again! Notwithstanding that
* the State Grange is supposed
to be a nonpartisan body, he
lumbered into town yesterday and un
blushlngly turned over bodily so much
of it as he personally controls to the
Democratic bosses. Fortunately, he
has not ©uch weight with the great
masses of farmers, who know that the
"Farmer" is a member of the Grange
oply for business reasons and is active
in its affairs only when there are per
sonal profits in sight.
But for the world-renowned cham
pion ground and lofty tumbler in the
political arena, such as the "Farmer"
is supposed to be, he made an awful
fizzle of his performance here yester
day, and will no doubt be called to
the carpet by Palmer, McCormick and
his other colleagues on the Democratic
ticket.
While they have been proclaiming
broadcast the benefits of the Demo
cratic tariff, the "Farmer" let out a
hoarse roar of agony over prevailing
high prices and wanted the public
to understand that the farmer is not
to blame—the natural inference being
that the trouble must lie at Washing
ton.
Likewise he let go a broadside at
those who spent money in behalf of
candidates and who did not report the
same—regardless of the fact that nu
merous Palmer and McCormick local
committees conveniently forgot to
comply with the law In this respect,
and that some of the accounts that
were filed might not conform in all
respects with the legal requirement to
tell "the truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth."
If the "Farmer" will only continue
his present line of argument it might
pay the Republican State committee
to employ him aa a stump speaker for
the Fall campaign.
SIR THOMAS BLAMELESS
AMERICANS win receive with
pleasure the announcement that
Sir Thomas Lipton was in no
wise entangled in the canteen
scandals that have lately caused a
stir in England. Sir Thomas has been
found blameless by the stockholders
of the company and by the British
government, and comes out of the af
fair with his good name untarnished.
In the United States little atten
tion was given the charges against
Lipton. Nobody ever believed him
guilty. He Is too fair and honest in
his sport to stoop to dishonesty in
business—a business, by the way, that
provides him with more money earned
legitimately than he could spend on
a whole fleet of cup challenging
yachts. But it is just as well that
the noted English yachtsman comes to
America in his latest attempt to lift
the cup with his reputation as fault
less as his sportsmanship. It saves
considerable embarassment all around.
TIME HE'S FRIGHTENED
PRESIDENT WILSON'S obvious
effort of the last week to curry
favor with business shows that
at last he realizes he is making
a mess of things with his free trade
tariff theories' and his scholastic Ideas
of government. It will be doubtless
worlds better for the country if he is
frightened a little out of his cocksure
ness.
His recent numerous conferences
with some of the most prominent busi
nessmen in the country In Washington
and his nomination of Warburg, the
New York financier, and of Jones, of
Chicago, Harvester Trust director, as
members of the Federal Reserve
Board, show very clearly that he is not
altogether deaf to the clamorings of
a depressed country.
But his change of attitude is not
going to be a recompense to voters
who get less wages and pay higher
prices for food because of the folly of
his administration. His change of
heart—if such it is—has come too
late.
PASSING FADS
MUCH good printers' ink is being
wasted in condemnation of the
dancing fad that Is sweeping I
over the country. To be sure
many of the dances are bad and they
are no doubt an instrument for evil.
But let us not believe that they are
leading the nation to perdition. They
will pass and some other form of
amusement not now apparent will
take their place, just as the dances
have displaced the bridge craze of a
year back, and just as clean, interest
ing stories have pushed into the back
ground the sex slush that crowded our
bookshelves and newsstands only a
few months ago. History Is full of
ratlings at minor evils of the kind, hut
there is no instance of a people drag
ged to ruin by the fads and fancies
of the idle or frivolous few.
There are three and one-half columns
of good advi?e on the church page to
day. Don't fall to read It.
1 EVENING CHATI
Fully 100 persons are going up and
down the State of Pennsylvania
preaching the importance of tire drills
in factories and schools. This is not
any sporadic movement of "safety
first" people, but is a well defined
State policy which is being urged
upon employers, officials, employes
and the public generally. The fire drill
is being pointed to as the means of
safety in time of trouble and the num
berless illustrations of havoc wrought
because of lack of organization and
the numerous cases wherein system
has saved life and limb are being
used to buttress the arguments of the
people who are urging attention to
preparation for emergencies. This
work is being done by everyone con
nected with the Pennsylvania Depart
ment of Labor and Industry and It is
such an important part of the organi
zation of that department that a bul
letin on the subject has been gotten
out in which not only deals with ways
and means to organize a fire drill, but
with ways to make it work and also
how to have a private fire fighting sys
tem to back it up. For instance it is
shown that every factory or school
should have a floor captain for each
roo mand then aisle or squad leaders.
There has been a lot of time and
thought been put upon the campaign
for fire drills and the hints on the sub
ject are well worth noting. Here are
I some:
"Dont treat the Are drill as a
joke."
"Do not wait to get your hat and
coat."
"Obey commands."
Gtrard, whose dally articles In the
Philadelphia ledger, are read by thou
sands of people, has this to say about
some people well known to many resi
dents of this city: "I suppose morn
people know Victor P. Weirman. who
has won distinction as ,a railroader,
than knew his celebrated uncle, Victor
Piollet. However, a generation ago,
every farmer In this State and thou
sands outside of it, knew about this
greatest of all Pennsylvania grangers.
He was a real power in politics and a
decidedly hitter foe of Simon Cameron.
I I asked his nephew, Mr. Weirman,
what had started that animosity. "My
uncle was recommended for colonel
of a regiment in the Mexican War,"
he replied, "but Cameron opposed it
so stoutly that the appointment was
withdrawn. X don't think thev had
spoken to each other for 35 Years, or
until shortly before Mr. Plollet's death.
He was then in Ilarrisburg and I or
1 some one else suggested that he drive
down to old Senator Cameron's house."
The veteran granger objected vigor
ously at first, but finally yielded. Both
he and Cameron were very old men
and Cameron kept his political antag
onist for two hours, talking over past
events."
It's astonishing the number of sug
gestions for cooling off by means of
a beverage a man can get if he asks
the first ten people he meets In a
block what they think. Yesterday aft
ernoon ten people casually met in
Third street between Walnut and Mar
ket were asked what they would rec
ommend for cooling off. Two sug
gested beer, one a highball, another
root beer, one buttermilk. one a
| lemonade, one Ice water, one orange
i phosphate, one a gin fizz and the last
I plain corhonated water. Four offered
! to buy and one said that he ought to
be bought a drink for giving his idea.
I It does not take very long to get
.people dancing these days. Even on
I the hottest evenings people give them
selves enjoyment in that line either
0 ncool porches or dancing pavilions.
But probably the oddest place to dance
is on the Mulberry street bridge. The
other evening an organ grinder was
coming along with his machine when
a party of young folks went by. The
electric lights had just been turned
on when one youth spied the organ
grinder. He gave him a quarter and
the music of "Dixie" struck up. The
whole party had stopped and the youth
who had paid the quarter seized a
girl and began to dance. The others
followed and they had five minutes of
fun even if they did hold up traffic
on the bridge.

SOURCE OF HARD TIMES
The Washington Post (Ind) prints
letters telling of Southern cotton mills
which "can not get near cost for their
yarn because there has been a vast In
crpase in imports of yarns and cotton
cloths under the new tariff law." And
papers like the New York Evening Mall
(Prog.), Baltimore Star (Rep ), Phila
delphia Press (Rep.), and San Francisco
Chronicle (Rep.) continue to denounce
the Democratic tariff as the source of
hard times.
AN EVENING THOUGHT
"Oh joy is like the magic cup;
I lift it to the sky
And still the more I offer up.
The fuller joy have I!"
—-Charlotte Porter,
To Men of Families
This is the time when one thinks of
going away. It may be that you are
planning a trip for yourself.
What's going to become of your
business while you are away? Have
you left a note, to be opened after your
departure, instructing your wife or a
friend to conduct your business during
your absence?
Ridiculous question, you say! Not
at all.
tj Men go away every day—never to
return. Most of them leave the con
tinuation or dissolution of their business
in the hands of a grief stricken wife or
an individual wholly incompetent to
protect the interests of those left behind.
tj What provision have you made for
those you'll permanently leave some
day?
We assume, of course, that you have
made a will. That is a sacred duty
which every man owes to his family.
But what about the executor?
tj It may be that sentiment has led you
to name the wife or a good friend.
But the greater sentiment is the abso
lute safeguarding of your beneficiaries*
interests. To do that you should name
this bank as your Executor.

the friend, no matter how earnestly he

CANDIDATES ARE
STARTING TUNES
Mayor Royal Likely to Be a Can
didate For the City Council
in Next Year
Although a year must elapse before
the primary election Is held for the
nomination of candidates for munici
pal and county offices some aspirants
for office have comfnenced to tune up
and there are numerous suggestions of
men for various places.
County Commissioner John H. Eby
expects to have the backing of the
McCormick machine for the nomina
tion for sheriff and ex-Sheriff J. Rowe
Fletcher is being favorably spoken of
by many Republicans. Harry Lowry
may be a Bull Moose candidate.
Sheriff Harry C. Wells is mentioned
as a Democratic candidate for county
commissioner. Deputy Register C. W.
Rubendall, of Millersburg, and Dr. C.
A. Fritchey, of this city, are talked
of for the Democratic nomination for
recorder and ex-Recorder William A.
Mcllhenny and Recorder O. G. Wlck
ersham may try again.
The woods will be full of candidates
for mayor. Ex-Mayor E. S. Meals will
likely stand and E. M. Winters thinks
the Democrats are calling him. The
city councilmen will all be candidates
to succeed themselves, and Mayor
Royal will be a candidate for mem
bership in'that body. And there will
be others.
"Farmer" William T. Creasy and
ex-Representative Frank N. Moore,
who have been playing the Granger
game so long that they
have commenced to he-
Creasy lieve a lot they say, were
Awaits here to-day for a meet-
NoUce ing of the State Grange
legislative comrn 111 ee,
which adopted the usual
run of ideas. Creasy indulged In con
siderable Interviewing and after bang
ing Penrose and everyone on the Re
publican side, said that he would do
whatever the people wanted him to
do to down the Republicans. When
he was asked whether he thought the
Democratic and Bull Moose machines
represented the voice of the people
ne said he would await expression of
opinion by the proletariat. Creasy
knows the Democrats have no earthly
show of electing their ticket and is
willing to sacrifice himself and with
draw—if the spotlight !s working
properly.
Secretary Bryan is Chautauquaing
In the Cumberland Valley to-clay and
If his work at Washington wlil not
suffer he may remain In this neighbor
hood to-morrow. The secretary spoke
at Waynesboro last night and Gettys
burg, Shippensburg and Chambers
burg are on his list for to-night. It
is a rare chance for some men who
opposed him some years ago to be
I seen with him.
! The nonarrival of E. A. VanVal
kenburg In Philadelphia last night
prevented the big powwow of the
Bull Moosers on the
fusion problem and
it is said that Flinn Fusion Will
and VanValken burg be Talked
and all the rest of the Over To-day
bosses will meet to
see about the proposi
tion of the Democrats to fuse on
everything provided the Bull Moosers
accept McCormick for governor. It is
intimated that the Bull Moosers think
McCormick, the most vulnerable of
the candidates, ought to get out and
allow Dean Lewis to have the field.
McCormick, who has made some in
vestments this campaign, naturally is
disinclined to do anything of the
kind. Lewis is going right ahead with
his campaign tours. The chances are
that the fusion boat will be smashed
on the rock of congressional nomina
tions. Bull Moosers and Democrats
are sutagonists on national issues.
Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh, Repub
lican candidate for governor, has ar
ranged to curtail his vacation to visit
Lebanon county during fair week. He
will make a speech. The invitation
was extended by a nonpartisan com
mittee composed of friends of the doc
tor.
To anxious ones who remark that it
seems as though the campaign had
begun early it might be said that the
worst is yet to come.
I POLITICAL SIDELIGHTS I
—Creasy's high cost of liVing speech
and Dan Hart's famous "peaceful twi
light" for the Democracy remarks will
be twin jokes of the campaign.
—The Democratic machine ought
to have a chain on Creasy.
—How many Palmer-McCormick
committees failed to lile expense ac
counts.
—lf Creasy will only keep on the
Republican job of cleaning up the
election will be easy.
—Dean Lewis seems to think he
has about the same swell chance as
McCormick in winning the election.
—Palmer will open his campaign
in Huntingdon next week. He will
discuss the seatorship, however.
—Creasy ought to be given a sub
scription to the Patriot so that ho
will keep in line with what the bosses
think.
—Wonder how Representatives
Humes, Benson and other Democrats
who grabbed for hospital appropria
tions will like the Creasy denunciation
of the charity appropriation system'.'
—Creasy is evidently ambitious to
be a star again. He was a real star
a few legislative sessions ago.
—Northumberland Democrats will
have a county committee meeting on
Monday. McCormick will not be
there.

desires to carry out your wish, has his
own interests which demand first con
sideration—either may be required to
be away for lengthy periods—either
may take sick—either may die, and you
run the chance of the adjustment of
your estate falling into strange hands.
If All these conditions may be over
come by appointing this bank as Exec
utor of your estate. It never goes away
—it is never sick—it never dies. Day
in, day out —year in, year out—as long
as is required to adjust your affairs, its
time will be devoted thereto.
€J This bank conducts a separate de
partment whose time is devoted solely
to such work—it is experienced in busi

greatest advantages will accrue to your
beneficiaries.
And the charges of this bank for
such service are fixed by law. There
can be no extortion—no extras —no
robbing Peter to pay Paul.

our depositors—we urge you to adopt
it as your watchword in safeguarding
the future of your family.
