DECADENCE OF PUBLIC SPHRIT
UNLESS the people of Harrlsburg
get awake to the situation their
boast of civic pride will be as
empty as the air. For . more
than a decade there has been wide
public Interest In the various projects
of Improvement which have been car
ried forward so successfully as to ex
cite the admiration of all visitors. But
recently there has been a gradual let
ting down in matters which directly
concern the people.
Taking advantage of this situation,
contractors and others have been do
ing about as they please, and work
which should have been finished
months ago is dragging' along at a
snail's pace. The municipal officials
and the people themselves are appar
ently indifferent to these evident signs
of the decadence of civic pride and
Interest.
An instance of this is'the consent of
the City Council that a large water
main shall be laid in the river park
from North Street to Paxton, practi
cally the entire length of the old city,
simply because this was the cheaper
way to do it. No matter about the |
recreation places which have been
created for the people at much ex
pense and painstaking care.
Against the vigorous protest of the
head of that department, rip open the
parks for the water mains, destroy
the beautiful planting, drive carts and
wagtms across the grass, and force
the thousands of men, women and
children from these open air and
healthful surroundings.
AS TO PLATFORMS
WHAT shall or shall not appear
In the platform of a political
party nowadays and under
the new order of things is not
very material. The people are more
concerned about the personality of
the candidate and his fitness to dis
charge the duties of the office he seeks
than they are over any high-sounding
phrases which are often invented to
catch the unwary voter. Since the
enactment of the open primary law
candidates are nominated directly by
the people and stand upon their own
utterances rather than upon any pro
nouncement of a party.
It is a rather peculiar situation that
candidates nominated at a primary
election are supposed to be guided by
a platform promulgated by members
of R committee chosen at the same
election. In the old convention days
the platform was of some importance,
Inasmuch as the candidates were con
sulted before the enunciation of the
party's principles, and thus stood be
fore the people as the champions of
those principles. Since the adoption
of the State-wide primary, however,
the candidate goes before the people
upon his own declaration of princi
ples, which are binding and personal,
whereas the subsequent platform
adopted by a committee after his
nomination counts for very little in
the public mind.
For Instance, the nominee on a
nonpartisan ticket must go before the
people upon his own declaration of
principles, and in this respect he Is no
different from the candidate of the
political party who Is compelled to
take the public Into his confidence in
the primary contest.
It Is for this reason that the pon
« dftrous documents which are put out
after the nominations have been made
toy the people themselves fall to make
/I very deep or lasting Impression.
WEDNESDAY EVENING HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH JULY 22, 1914.
WILL CLEAR THE AIR
PRESIDENT WILSON Is doing
well to consult the businessmen
of the country, but a number
of those who have been sum- j
moned to the White House are hardly j
of the sort to give him a fair report,
on fundamental conditions. However, |
he must learn directly or indirectly of |
I the disaster which has come through
I a continued policy of legislative ex
j perimentation.
There has been so much of theoreti
cal government during the last year or
j two in the State and the nation that
I those who are In dally touch with the
'substantial interests of the people
hesitate to push ahead without know
ing what is before them.
With enormous crops and the basic,
conditions right for a great period of
prosperity. It Is amazing that business
halts and hesitates. If the policies of
the Administration at Washington are
not at fault, then an even more diffi
cult situation is presented, inasmuch
as It is the common belief of all who
have made a study of conditions that
; the uncertainty and depression are
I the result of the lack of confidence in
the Administration.
There Is certainly a reason for It all,
and It Is believed that a general turn
over at the November election would
clear the air and permit the Industry
and commerce and activities of the
nation to boom along as they should
be booming now save for the blow
they have received at the hands of
Democracy and the nameless fear of
further harassment at Washington.
BOATING FACILHTIKS
N any consideration of the ellmlna-
Ition of "Hardscrabble" from the
city map It is only fair and just
that the boating interests which
have been developed during a long
period of years shall not be over
looked. It Is out of the question to
deprive those who have been catering
to the large number of young and old
people in the way of boating facilities
of a proper concession for the future
conduct of their business.
We have discovered no disposition
on the part of city officials to do any
thing of the kind, but there has doubt
less heen apprehension among the
persons most Interested regarding the
probable outcome of their Industry.
Inasmuch as the water frontage of
Harrlsburg covers more than three
miles, it will be necessary to have not
one boathouse but several, In order
to accommodate those who make use
of the river. With the completion of
the dam and the River Front wall
there is certain to follow the forma
tion of many boat clubs and river
craft organizations of all kinds, so
that it will be necessary to provide fa
cilities for this sport.
In view of the fact that the "Hard
scrabble" frontage will have a consid
erable width from the western curb
line to the steps, it will be an easy
matter to provide for a boathouse or
two close to the slope, which will con
ceal the buildings, and at the same
time furnish ample accommodations
for owners of boats or those who de
sire to provide public facilities.
In short, falrplay must characterize
the whole transaction from beginning
to end, and we have discovered no
other tendency in the movement.
SEE HARRISBURG FIRST
GOING on a vacation this summer?
But of course you are! What,
you haven't the money! Well,
why not spend it at home and
"See Harrisburg"?
In this convention-bound world
there are lots of people who believe
that a man who spends one day of his
vacation in his home town is a poor
"boob" without any sense. But is he?
Harrisburg has the woods, the
streams, the mountains right at its
door. You want to fish? Oh. very
well, let's go for bass in the Sus
quehanna or the Conodoguinet, or for
trout in one of the nearby mountain
streams. And if you think there Isn't
as good angling hereabouts as any
place you want to find it's because you
aren't acquainted with the waters.
If you yearn for a swim, why not
toko a dip in the river long famous as
a swimming stream among the Indians
of two centuries ago? If you want to
lie on your back, "pull your straw hat
'cross your eyes and peek through at
the clouds." the hills of Reservoir Park
are Just about as fine a place for the
stretching process as you can find this
side of'the Azores, and most of us do
not. go farther east than that for the
annual "lay-off."
And there's not a thing the matter
with the Reservoir tennis courts or
golf links if you are fond of these
sports. Or if you tire of doing the
strenuous yourself, there is the ball
game on the Island where you can
watch others do It several days each
week.
What is more, if you spend the
Idling hours on your own hack porch
instead of on that of some resort you
can wear that old flannel shirt that
always feels so good and tell the world
of fashion to go hang.
Furthermore, you will not need a
cane nor nearly as much of the "long
green."
WASHINGTON' PARTY "CROWDS"
TO read the North American and
some of the Democratic news
papers interested in promoting
a split in the Republican ranks
one would imagine that the voters are
flocking in droves to hear Dean Lewis
and the other Washington party can
didates who are now touring the
State. These newspapers, ever since
Lewis and Pinchot started on their
round of speech-making and hand
shaking, have published daily ac
counts of the great throngs that have
turned out to greet them and assure
them of support. t
To a man in Dauphin county, read
ing of these receptions in distant parts
of the State, one would gather that
the Progressive cause, far from being
on the decline so evident from the
primary ceturns, is flourishing like
the proverbial green bay tree.
Unfortunately for our future belief
in these accounts, we have had op
portunity to study popular sentiment
first hand this week. The candidates
have been circulating in towns within
telephone call of Harrlsburg. Instead
of hundreds of cheering supporters
thronging to the well-advertised
places of meeting, the numbers of
those In attendance have been con
fined to half-dozens and dozens, with
a few more in Williamstown lalst even
ing, drummed together after a walk
around by the local band.
Dauphin county people have had a
chance to count the attendance them
selves, but It will be noticed that the
Progressive and Democratic news
papers of to-day report the "crowds"
as big or bigger than they were in
other counties.
If we are to estimate the "crowds"
elsewhere by those here, and judge
these misleading newspaper reports in
that light, they will show up pretty
regularly as bald-faced liction pub
lished to bolster up what its few re
maining adherents realize is a hope
less cause.
1 EVENING CHAT I
People hereabouts are familiar with
pictures and stories of farming op
erations in the Far West and North
west where Helds are ploughed by
traction engines, which have been
found to be more efficacious and eco
nomical than the sixteen-horse teams
that were so much talked of a few
years ago. Ploughing by a traction
engine has never been tried here very
much, chiefly because the fields are
not large and the horse has been the
mainstay. But a few days ago some
experiments made by a farmer not far
from the city with a small traction
plough attracted attention. Dr. H. A.
Surface, the state zoologist, who is
widely known as a fruit grower, says
that in a few years there will be plenty
of ploughing in fields and orchards by
traction engine. "What is needed Is a
light, high-powered engine, capable of
quick turns. There are some firms
now making them," said he. "The
time is coming when the orchards In
Dauphin and Cumberland counties will
be ploughed by machinery. The trac
tion ploughs take a wider space than
horses and get better results. The area
of ploughing by machinery is coming
Just ns motor harvesting is coming.
We never thought to see motor lawn
cutters a short time ago, but next year
I expect to plough my orchard by a
machine."
"A lot of people have just Rotten* in
on time the last few days." said a mill
superintendent yesterday as he ate at
ltinrh. "Fact, X think about-quarter
of the force was late Monday and to
day. We did not say anything because
after a heated spell like we had these
mornings are nice to sleep. I guess
everyone slept well and hard and had
to hustle to get breakfast and get to
work. It's always that way when cool
spells come along."
The presence of the army worm in
the city has stirred up much interest
in everything that crawls and the. num
ber of caterpillars and worms of vari
ous kinds that have been sent to the
office of State Zoologist Surface for
identification is surprising. Some of
them are species totally different from
the army worm, but the senders insist
that they are some new and terrible
varieties of pests. Most of them have
been annual visitors and never at
tracted attention until now.
Dr. Samuel G. Dixon, the State Com
missioner of Health, is expected home
from Maine in a short time. The
commissioner has been taking a vaca
tion only lately. He would not do it
for the first five clears of his service
to the State and one day a doctor told
him he should not ruin his own health
saving that of the people. The com
missioner thought it over and reluc
tantly took a fortnight off. But it's
still an annual struggle to make him
go away.
In his farewell sermon at the Mar
ket Square Presbyterian Church last
Sunday morning the Rev. Dr. J.
Ritchie Smith highly commended the
harmony of the choir during the
nearly fifteen years of his ministry. He
said that harhiony In the choir usually
meant harmony in the congregation
and he paid a tribute to the work of
the choir and to the great assistance
it had been in the services of the
church.
J. Rowe Fletcher, former sheriff of
Dauphin county, will be 50 years old
to-morrow and will entertain a num
ber of his friends in honor of the event
at Guadaloupe. Friends of the former
sheriff are making ready for a notable
observance of the ceremony and some
are coming from a distance to extend
their congratulations.
Colonel Theodore Burehfield, of the
State Library, is 72. The colonel lives
in Altoona, hut he belongs in part to
Ilarrisburg because he learned his
trade as a printer on the Harrisburg
Telegraph when it was published in
Third street. As legislator and Na
tional Guardsman the colonel has been
a prominent figure in affairs in Blair
county and in this city. He was for a
quarter of a century colonel of the old
Fifth Regiment. Since 1902 the colonel
has been)connected with the library.
A man who visited one of the
smaller towns in Maryland recently
with a party tells a good story about
his trip. He was with one of the lead
ing cars of the run and the coming
had been heralded. "When he reached
a hotel around came one of the town
glad-handers. After some remarks he
pulled out a card bearing the signature
of the chief of police. "The town's
your's. You can't get into trouble with
that. Show it to any one of our 5,000
people," said he.
AT THE VICTORIA
The big picture at Victoria to-day
is one In six reels, "The World, the
Flesh and the Devil.' A story of mur
der placed upon the innocent half
brother of the murderer. Also the
I of love is woven into the story.
An attempt to take the Innocent man's
life Is foiled by her lover, although
he Is later arrested and tried. Hav
ing the punishment of an innocent
man rest upon him, the man whose
wife has been killed has his daughter
tell the truth In court, with the re
sult that the murderer, half-brother
to the accused, and who is his defense,
is placed under arrest and in a fit of
Insanity, seeing the apparition of the
woman he murdered, confesses and
then on the stand commits suicide.
AIFO "The Mutual Olrl" and "The
Lure of the Sawdust" will be shown
In the same program 2 with this slx
reeler. —Advertisement.

MORRIS TRYING TO
STRAI6HTEN KIIIKS
County Bosses Will Confer With
Him on the Second of the
Receiving Days
MACHINE BOSSES SCARED
Story That They May Abandon the
Contests—Bryan Will Be Greeted
by Democrats
State Chairman Roland S. Morris
will make another effort, to straighten
out the kinks in the Democratic ma
chine to-morrow and will bend every
effort to secure harmony in central
and western counties where rows have
hung over since the primary and
where new ones have been started
over the distribution of such federal
plums as Judgeships, revenue Jobs and
post offices.
At the Democratic windmill It is
stated that Mr. Morris has arranged
to come here on Thursuays to talk
over campaign plans and that he will
meet a number of leaders. The truth
is that he has sent for a number of
men up the State In an effort to
smooth ruffled fur and tp get some
semblance of harmony In the Demo
cratic campaign.
First and foremost the county lead
ers who come here are to be urged to
make a noise like a united party,
then they are to secure eminent
Democrats to serve on committees,
also to exert pressure on Congressmen
of Democratic faith to sign the Pal
mer peace pledge paper and lastly to
help take the burden of financing the
campaign oft Candidate McCormick.
So alarmed are the bosses of the
State machine over the resentment
against the slating of GufEey's man,
Thompson, for the west
ern judgeship, the fusses
over post office appoint-' Willing to
ments and the revolt of Concede a
the Democratic Con- Seat or So
gressmen that they are
showing signs of mak
ing concessions. Friends of Michael
J. Ryan are being patted on the back
and it is even Intimated that he may
be asked to make a speech or two.
Then the word comes that there Is a
possibility that the machine may drop
the contests against men elected to
the Philadelphia city committee in
stead of forcing the issue. Efforts to
straighten out the ructions In Hunt
ingdon and Susquehanna county are
under way. The bosses have found
that the Democratic party Is all shot
to pieces over Wilson and Morris is
afraid of leading a party that will be
third in the coming campaign.
Democrats who remain faithful to
Bryanism will have a chance to show
their fealty to-night when the Secre
tary of State will be
in this city and Me-
Bryan Will chanicsburg. The Sec-
Be In Our retary is here on a
District Chautauqua tour and
Is to arrive shortly
before 6 o'clock. A
committee of members of clubs will
meet him here and whirl him to Me
ehanlcsburg where a reception staged
by Doc Dougherty will be held. This
will be at the Business Men's League
and will be for everyone regardless of
politics. The Secretary speaks at 8
in the Chautauqua and will return
here late at night to hustle to Wash
ington to make up for lost time. There
is no politics in Bryan's visit, but if
he escapes being drawn into It he will
be a wonder.
The Palmer-McCormick League be
ing formed in Philadelphia has
aroused considerable antagonism from
the officers of the city
committee elected by
the people and some •league Not
sharp comments are Popular In
being made. It is also Quaker City
said that Dr. Horace
Hosklns, who was
turned down for a job and who has
since been attacking State Chairman
Morris, is quietly boring holes in the
League and that U may represent only
a segment of the reorganization fac
tion. City Chairman Bromley, of the
regular committee, says the Wilson
League, which was a Palmer-McCor
mick invention in 1912, interfered with
the campaign and kept Wilson from
getting 100,000 votes In that city.
The scheme of the league is to dis
place the city committee and it ap
pears to be interfering with itself.

DOCTOR BRUMBAUGH'S RESIG
NATION
[Philadelphia Inquirer]
Doctor Brumbahgh's letter to the
Board of Education resigning his po
sition as superintendent of schools,
to take effect September first, is just
what was expected by his friends and
admirers and will'have the effect, of
strengthening the goodwill in which
he ,is held by the people. He feels,
properly, although he does not say so
in as many words, that the schools
should be kept free from even the
suspicion of politics, and that having
been nominated for governor, it was
wise and prudent to sever his official
connection with the schools before en
tering actively upon his political cam
paign. His action will no doubt be
regretted by those members of the
Board of Education who were anxious
to have the benefit of his services un
til the last moment, but on mature re
flection they will agree that he has
done the right thing in the right
way.
Doctor Brumbaugh has made a
most excellent superintendent of
schools, and the Board of Education
will do well If they succeed In netting
a successor who can adequately fill his
official shoes. During the eight years
he has been in charge of the public
schools they have steadily advanced
in quality and usefulness. Doctor
Brumbaugh was the first Commission
er of Education of Porto Rico, and the
experience gained there no doubt con
tributed to his value as an executive
of the Philadelphia school system. In
any event the teachers and all of thoso
connected with the schools will regret
the severance of a relationship which
has been agreeable to all concerned.
The Board of Education, in its wis
dom, has postponed action on the res
ignation until the September meeting,
but Doctor Brumbaugh has the satis
faction of knowing that he has rec
ognized the fitness of things and has
placed himself and the board beyond
the reach of reasonable criticism.

tional Game the other day," says De
Wolf Hopper, who is well known as a
baseball enthusiast, "and one said he
had traced it back to 1850.
" 'I kin trace it back to de begln
nin' oh de World,' replied the other.
'De Bible tells us dat Eve stole first;
Adam got out at the Garden of Eden;
David struck out Gollah; de Prodigal
Son made a home run—and Moses shut
out de Egyptians at de Red Sea!' "

Now what, asks the New York Tri
bune (Rep.), "has suddenly driven the
President to make the affectionate ad
vances to business men with, which the
Warburg appeals and the exchanges
with the Chicago delegation bubble
over?" It answers by pointing out that
"coincidentl.v with them the news
papers report the secession of a Demo
cratic Congressman from Colorado,
wholesale desertions from the party in
Louisiana, and grave disaffection all
through the Middle West." So The Tri
bune concludes that we have here "a
remarkable exhibition of agile political
readustment," though it hopes for the
country's sake that it is genuine and
"will bear genuine fruits." So, too, the
Pittsburgh Gazette-Times (Rep.) finds
this "remarkable departure "pro
foundly suggestive of the possibility
that the administration has got the
country and itself into deep water and
is hard put to find a safe way out."

"IT'S INSURANCE"
AUTOMOBILE
Suppose—your boy were to be struck
by an automobile and—
Suppose he were to be thus
maimed for life, destined to always
be a cripple, wouldn't you demand
damages of the owner of that auto
mobile? Well, the father of the other
boy will demand the same of you un
der reversed circumstances. Most of
the cars are insured with Aetna-
Essick.
