HOPELESS OPPOSITION
NOTHING demonstrates more con
clusively the hopelessness of the
opposition to the Republican
party In Pennsylvania than the
Besperate efforts of the little bosses
!*vho have come Into the limelight
Hrlthin the last year or two to com
bine their forces in the hope of avert
ing a defeat that is now apparent to
till who know anything about the po
litical situation. It so happens, how
ever, that the elements which would
naturally be fused into an anti-
Republican movement are so widely
bpart and so naturally antagonistic
that anything like amalgamation for
the purposes of the present campaign
Is Impossible.
Colonel Roosevelt and his admirers
are out of joint with President Wil
|on and his policies to such a degree
that any getting together of the
Democrats and Progressives in Penn
sylvania is about as likely as the suc
cessful mixing of oil and water. Bosses
of both parties ha?e declared that
there will be no fusion; that the
Democratic program is opposed to the
very essence and heart of the Progres
sive movement, and that the Progres
sives cannot join in any contest that
would mean an endorsement directly
or indirectly of the present national
administration.
It may be assumed, therefore, that
the effort to bring about a combina
tion of the Democrats and Progres
sives is certain to result In failure.
As a matter of fact the trend toward
the Republican party is now so strong
and increasing daily to such an extent
that the opinion is frequently ex
pressed that long before the cam
paign shall have reached its final
Stages the handwriting on the wall
(will be so clear that the battle will
Icease to be a battle and resolve itself
Into a triumphal procession of the
party of protection and prosperity.
GOOD WORK
MUCH credit is due Commis
sioner M. Harvey Taylor, head
of the department of parks
and playgrounds, for working
!>ut a plan by which the immense
juantities of material to be removed
n the excavation of the subway at
Becond and Mulberry streets will be
Utilized In completing the parking of
|he narrow stretches of the River
Front north of Calder street. It was
Seared at one time that this would not
be feasible owing to the expense of
hauling the dirt, but It is understood
How that the proposals submitted to
jthe park department yesterday indi
cate that it will be possible to arrange
fc satisfactory contract.
It is highly important that the
parking of the frontage should go
fehead at the same time as the con
struction of the wall so that with the
end of summer something like com
pletion of the work shall have been
attained. While it was very neces
sary to secure the material which will
now be utilized in creating a proper
jwidth on the western side of Front
etreet the fact that Commissioner
Taylor is endeavoring to make an
economical arrangement is likewise to
his credit.
TERMINAL PLANS
MODERN terminal facilities in this
city are necessary for the prop
er handling of heavy traffic of
th£ \ alley Railways Company.
When the cross-river lines first entered
Harrisburg the number of ears In use
■was so small and unimportant that the
problem was not in any way difficult,
but with the increase in traffic and the
Installation of the larger and more
irequent cars the congestion in Mar
ket Square has grown to such an ex
tent as to make necessary some other
echeme for handling the business.
Whether It Is necessary to add a third
track half way through Market Square
and construct two tracks in Market
street from the Square to Front street
Is doubtful.
Harrisburg has heen more than fair
In dealing with Its important public
Utilities and these utilities should be
Ju»t as fair in dealing with the city,
instead of gridtroning the central
business district with more street rail
way tracks, it wouid seem to be the
TUESDAY EVENING, < PABRISBURG TELEGRAPH JULY 21, 1914
part of wisdom to provide terminal
facilities which would not interfere
with the expeditious handling of pas
sengers in the heart of the shopping
district and at the same time provide
shelter for the thousands of people
who travel on the cross-river lines.
It is to be presumed that the City
Council, when the matter comes be
fore that body will closely study the
situation with a view to giving the
railway company fair and just con
sideration and at the same time pre
vent any further congestion than is
necessary in the business section.
When it was proposed to establish
a belt line for the cross-river cars
there was a general protest against the
use of Front street for the purpose.
This protest seemed to be almost uni
versal. Since that project was aban-.
doned nothing more had been heard
of the mutter until official announce
ment was made the other day of the
new scheme for running the cars
which is nov proposed.
Harrisbu. owes much of its pros
perity and development to first-class
street railway service and everything
reasona' le should be done to facili
tate the movement of cars on the city
and suburban lines; but it does not
follow that a plan which may be
merely cheaper than a terminal build
ing should be adopted.
There are mutual Interests Involved
and it will he the duty of the City
Council to weigh all the questions with
a view to a reasonable and proper de
cision.
NEW THEORY OF ALCOHOMRM
Drt. CHARLES READ, assistant
superintendent of the Chicago
State Hospital For the Insane.
speaking before the national
convention of alienists and neurolo
gists. takes issue with those who hold
that the physical demand for alcohol
drives the drinker to ever Increasing
indulgences. Dr. Read declares that
the appetite is more psychical than
physical. , He holds that in two weeks'
time after he has been separated from
it, the inebriate has no more physical
desire for alcohol than any abstainer.
The trouble, lies not in the call of
the body but in the longing for the
effects of alcohol. The inebriate
misses his foster mother, who speaks
kind words to him when things go
wrong, who entertains him, and causes
him to forget this Is a real world with
sharp corners on it.
He is a big baby and nothing more.
Take his bottle away from him and
he cries until his attention is distract
ed and he learns to do without it. The
logical; practical manner of dealing
with this man is to commit him to a
colony where he may he weaned from
his foster mother, taught habits of in
dustry, and built over into an effective
mechanism. Dr. Read believes.
The alcoholic's appeal to drink is
closely allied to that of a sensitive
child who runs constantly its
mother to be comforted and reassur
ed, he holds. The alcoholic longs to
he patted on the back and told that he
is a fine fellow, badly treated by an
unappreciative world. Rather than
meet the demands of life squarely, he
slips to one side and comes up smiling
with the aid of alcohol. When he be
comes sober, the inner censor casts
scorn upon such evasions of the issue
and this criticism is quieted only by
the application of more alcohol.
If these premises bis acceptable as
based on fact, the cure of the alco
holic ought not to be so monstrously
difficult in the case of a man of ordi
nary will power. The trouble is that
too often it is the weak who are the
intemperate and with them the
promptings of the mind will not de
pend on what they know is for their
own welfare. For such the cure can
be effected only by the removal of
the cause.
SPANISH IN OUR SCHOOI-S
SEVERAL western cities have add
ed Spanish to their prescribed
course of study. It might be well
for other school hoards to follow
that example. South American coun
tries use the Spanish language almost
to the exclusion of all others. OurSouth
American trade is constantly on the
increase. The completion of the Pana
ma canal will bring us into very close
business relations with Eucador, Chili
and a half dozen other of the little
States and republics heretofore iso
lated to such a degree as to render
trade between the North and the
South very difficult.
Consequently there will be an ever
growing demand for salesmen and
mercantile representatives familiar
with the Spanish language If the
United States does not take advantage
of the opportunity afforded it, some
other country will. Also, the public
schools will be neglectful if they do
not prepare their pupils to meet this
new condition. South American ex
ports and business in general offer a
new and enticing field for the Amer
ican young man.
THE DIFFERENCE
THE last Democratic administra
tion ga\ k e us industrial depres
sion and low prices.
The Wilson administration
has given us depression and higher
prices.
That is the distinction and the dif
ference between the two.
The supposedly impossible condi
tion of free trade and growing prices
has happened.
The tariff wall has been lowered to
the Injury of the manufacturer and
the workman and the consumer has
not been benefited.
No wonder there Is such a vigorous
swing back toward protective poli
cies.
Wages for labnr are not lower now
than they were a year ago. say the Wil
son defenders. They haven't asked the
hundreds of men at work on the river
wall and other improvements about
town.

1 EVENING CHAT I
If Mayor John K. Royal carries out
his rumored idea of becoming a candi
date for City Council after the ex
piration of his term as Mayor at the
close of 1915 he will be the first Mayor
oi the city in forty years to go into the
legislative office when he finishes his
allotted years as executive. It is not
that it is not a laudable ambition for
a man who has had the experience of
four years as Mayor to aspire to sit in
the Council, but it has so happened
that all but one of the Mayors had
enough of city administration when
their terms ended, and efforts to have
them run for councilman proved fruit
less. In the cases of John A. Fritchey
and John D. Patterson they went back
to the Mayor's chair, hut not back to
councllmanic duties. In borough days
it was nothing uncommon for a citizen
to serve as councilman and then be
elected burgess, go back and serve
as councilman and even be elected
hurgess again and then return to a
seat about the council table. It
was an excellent idea because it gave
the citizens of the young State Capital
the advantage of services of men of
intelligence and that experience which
is so valuable in municipal jfffairs. That
it was generally favored is shown by
the continual mention of certain men
as councllmen. This practice of re
electing men to Council who had
proved good and faithful servants was
continued even into the days of the
bicameral councllmanic system and
one man served a dozen years. If that
had been in recent times there would
have been complaints of continued
office hoidiug and demands to give
someone else a chance. However, to
get back to the original thought. It
has happened that only one of the
Mafors from Kepner to Meals ever
went back to Council. That one was
W. K. Verbeke, who served in Select
for a year. Practically every Mayor
served as a councilman hefore called
to the higher place, but onlv Mr. Ver
beke ever went hack, although it
would have been a good thing for the
city hail It been able to command the
services of some of its Mayors after
they had gone through the troubles
that besut the occupant of the chief
magistracy of the city. The new third
class city commission form of govern
ment statute has made many changes
in the city government and perhaps it
will result in some changes In the re
lation discussed.
Speaking of city government calls to
mind some remarks made by a couple
of men actively identified with the gov
ernments of other cities of the State.
' 'ne of these men took a Harrisburger
to task during the last session of the
Legislature for his opposition to the
c lark third class city law, the act
under which we are now working. The
Harrisburger said that this city had
found the law governing third class
cities to work very satisfactorily here
and that Harrisburg had made phe
nomenal strides under it. The other
man retorted that this city had been
the only one which had and predicted
that the State Capital would rise to
meet the new law as conspicuously as
it had the old.
When the two men were here re
cently one said: "Remember what we
told you. Mr. Harrisburg? Here you
are getting along all right under the
new law."
"Well, It did upset us for a while,"
was the reply.
Yes. It did, and it upset some
more. I want to tell you," and here
the man who made the prediction last
year paused and called up some friends
from other cities, "and you, that some
of the other cities are not straight
ened out yet. Rut Harrisburg is, and
it si working well under the Clark law
and giving an example to some other
cities that wanted the change and
bump Harrisburg when it did
not. You ve got the knack of running
a cjty and I think you could do it
under a Chinese puzzle let alone the
third class city law."
The roadside artists have done sorry
tilings to some of the pictures of the
candidates for State offices which were
posted in the merry days of May.
Vance C. McCormick appears along
the Riverside in a dandy full heard,
very black, while Judge Kunkel has
been changed to resemble James W
Barker, one of the legislative candi
date in this city, by a Cumberland
county man. Michael J. Ryan has
been given a walrus moustache on a
card in Steelton and John R. K. Scott
has a cowcatcher chin ornament with
out moustache and pair t>f "specs" on
a card affixed to a pole near Hummels
town.
Governor Tener has found some who
will stay with him as long as he cares
to go in for playing golf. The Gov
ernor took up golf a couple of years

physique and fond of exercise, he will

enjoyment out of it. But it's mightv

MONTGOMERY MILLS
[From the Philadelphia Bulletinl
Not all the prosperity bulletins from
Pittsburgh, nor all the crop reports
from the West, nor daily anonymities
from the White House can change or
successfully contradict the facts which
the manufacturers of Montgomery
county relate in their letter to Presi
dent Wilson, v
If he wants a bill of particulars they
say they arc willing to furnish theni,
and if he has any doubts as to the sit
uation, he should ask and be given the
facts. These men arc known in the
community as hard-headed, enterpris
ing and generally successful. They
are not likely to be frightened by
psychological influences, nor are they
likely to keep their mills Idle if they
could operate them on full time at a
profit. In short, they know what they
are talking about, and their letter
should inspire a half-hour of hard
thinking and consequent action at the

CONGRESSMEN CODDLED
Northumberland County Demo
crats in Row—How the Age
Limit Worked Backwards
While Candidate McCormlck is rest
ing for the arduous labors of appear
ing at country fairs and swinging
around the circle. Congressman Pal
mer is sweltering in Washington try
ing to placate the Democratic Con
gressmen who have been ignored in
Federal appointments in their home
districts, and State Ross Morris Is
rushing about endeavoring to put out
the fires of revolt that are appearing
in almost every county.
McCormlck plans to "lay low" dur
ing the next month so as to avoid
being pulled into the rows which are
occurring over patronage, although
everyone knows that he has as big a
finger in the distribution of ofllccs as
Palmer or Morris. According to tho
morning dispatches from Washington,
Palmer Is trying to get Democratic
Congressmen to sign a paper stating
that they are in accord with the State
machine and Its alms and purposes
and desire party success. In this re
markable effort to «ave his face with
the President and the Democrats at
large he has the support o"f just one
man, Congressman Warren Worth
Bailey, of Johnstown. Other Congress
men have not yet signed the paper In
which it is set forth that they are
all for the machine. Of course, they
will eventually be clubbed Into line
through Federal patronage and the
use of the name of the State ticket,
hut Just now they are making Palmer
run around in rings in his effort to se
cure written evidence of "harmony."
Thursday will be receiving day at
the Democratic State Windmill in Mar
ket Square. This day has been offi
cially set by State Boss
Morris to meet the Dem-
Tluirsday ocrats who want jobs
tho Day and who come here to
to R«»eeive seek the aid of the ma
chine in smoothing out
kinks in the county or
ganizations. It was selected for the
pink tea of the Fourth division last
Thursday and will be the rule. No
special requirements of dress will be
made for Thursdays at the Windmill.
State Chairman Morris plans to have
working and to be ready with sugges
his best sinile and warmest hand clasp
working and to be ready with sugges
tions as to the best means of killing
off the Insurgent and pulling the teeth
of/the backbiter.
The Philadelphia Press in an article
on Philadelphia politics to-day, shows
up the Democratic fuss this way:
"While the split between
the Old Guard and the Re
organizer factions of\the Hoskins
Democratic party is grow- After
ing wider, there is also a Morris
division now in the ranks
of the Reorganizers them
selves, and on Thursday, when the di
rectors of the Democratic Club, Reor
ganizer headquarters, meet to act on
the resignation of the president, Dr.
W. Horace Hoskins, the separation, it
is believed, will be complete.
"Nothing less than the retirement
from the State chairmanship of Ro
land S. Morris and descent from the
pedestal on which, it is charged, Con
gressman A. Mitchell Palmer took a
position when he became distributor
of Federal jobs among the hungry in
Pennsylvania, will satisfy the friends
of Dr. Hoskins."
The Northumberland county Demo
cratic committee fell into line with
other Democratic committees of the
State yesterday and in
dulged in a fight at Sun-
Knss In bury. The fuss was
Sunbiiry whether Edward Zimmer-
Meeting man, who was elected
county chairman, could
act as State committee
man as well. After a rumpus the
rules committee was (directed to look
into the matter. Zimmerman suc
ceeded Edward Weidenheimer, of Mil
ton, where the Godcharles Nail Works
has closed up for good, and all because
of the Wilson depression in business.
Weidenheimer is a division boss and
thought It best to get out of the local
fight. Zimmerman defeated Charles
Moran, Shamokln, by 77 to 8. Two of
the Democratic candidates for the
Legislature did not turn up and noth
ing was said that could be noticed
ahout the Democratic State platform.
One of the Sunbury papers very ap
propriately runs a story of the closing
of the nail mill under the meeting of
the Democrats.
Members of the. Central and West
End Democratic Clubs, as well as pros
pective Federal Jobholders, will meet
in Market Square to-morrow night
and go to Mechanicsburg, where Doc
Dougherty has planned a reception to
Secretary Bryan, who will be the
Chautauqua speaker.
Every time an unfair trick is played
in politics it comes back to plague
those who play it and this is being
strikingly illustrated in the
case of the appointment

Age Unlit Western Pennsylvania.
Wont Had Readers of the Telegraph
are familiar with the very
proper campaigns waged
by a number of eminent attorneys for
the place. According to the story just
told, when the pressure became too
great Congressman Palmer, Candidate
McCormick and Division Boss Joo Guf
fey got their heads together and at the
reported suggestion of Guffey decided
to frame an age limit. Two of the
candidates known to be over 60 were
informed that it was with great regret
that the bosses had found that 60
ye ars was the age limit for a man to
he named to the federal bench. This
rule was a new one to many, but the
story is that it allowed the bosses to
slide in W. H. S. Thompson, of Pitts
burgh. the pick of Guffey and some of
his friends. After he had been named
someone called attention to the fact
that the new judge was nearly 6 7.

I>H. BRUMBAUGH'S (iOOD TASTE
| [From the Philadelphia Inquirer!
I>r. Brumbaugh continues to Klve
evidences of good taste, which while
they may not seem Important to some
persons, nevertheless demonstrate that
he is the sort of a man that may be
safely trusted with the governorship
ot Pennsylvania. He has written to
the committee of educators who had
planned a testimonial pageant of pub
lic school children In his honor on
September IS, asking that the affair
be postponed until the middle of No
vember. He does this in order that
there may be no excuse for the criti-.
cism that the school children mißht be
used to promote his gubernatorial can
didacy.
As a matter of fact, there was no
reason in the world why the pupils
and friends of the schools should not
have given a testimonial on tho occa
sion of nr. Brumbaugh's retirement
as superintendent of the schools of
Philadelphia. It was a perfectly nat
ural thing to do and could have been
carried out on a successful scale. But
in order that there should be no justi
fication for criticism on the part of
those who hunt for trouble with a mi
croscope, Dr. Brumbaugh has seen fit
to request a postponement until after
the November election.
Perhaps, after all, this was the best
thing to do under the circumstances,
because. If he is spared, Br. Brum
baugh in all probability will then be
the Governor-elect of Pennsylvania,
and the affair will have a double mean
ing in the fact that It will speed the
parting Superintendent and greet the
coming Governor.

"that the chief pleasure of my adminis
tration, as I have contemplated it In
the past, has been to commission you
a Justice of the Supreme Court; and I
never had any other purpose and was
never shaken in it until there was pre
sented to me the challenge whether X
was not gratifying my personal desires
at the expensi of public interest in put
ting a judge ht your age upon the bench
under present conditions. For this rea
son I took back my determination to
appoint you, wiped it off the slate and
gave two or three days to the introspec
tive process to know whether I was
yielding to personal preference at the
expense of the public. I became con
vinced that I was not—that the cir
cumstances justified the departure from
the ordinary rule and that 1 had the
right to gratify my personal predilec
tion by doing what I have done, be
cause the motive in doing it included
a desire to strengthen that court as
much as I could strengthen it."
Judge Lurton was then 65 years old
and had been on the United States Cir
cuit Court bench for seventeen years.
On the appeal of his mother, young
Lurton, a prisoner In the Union lines,
was released by President Lincoln.
Ye~shall do no unrighteousness
in judgment; thou shalt not re
spect the person of the poor, nor
honor the person of the mighty;
hut in righteousness shalt thou
judge thy neighbor.—Lev. 19:15.
