A MISTAKE OP JFDGMENT
NOW that It has been determined
by the City Council, against the
protest of the Department of
Parks and City Property, to
Install a large water main in the
River Front park from North street
to Paxton street, the only thing left
for the people is the hope that the
work will be done with great care in
order that as little damage to the park
and trees may be entailed as possible
under the circumstances. Placing this
large main the city's most prominent
park on the score of economy is like
building a house on sand to save the
coat of the foundation. It is saving at
the spigot and losing at the bung.
Commissioner Bowman has done
some very creditable things since* he
became head of the Department of
Public Safety, especially in the mat
ter of economy of service and opera
tion, but we believe his insistence upon
this large water main going through
a park that is constantly used is a
mistake of judgment
However, since It has been decided
that this is the way the pipe shall be
laid, it is only reasonable to expect
that unusual care will be exercised
in the digging of the trench, so that
the splendid trees in the way are not
damaged or the beauty of the park
destroyed.
Political differences in the City Coun
cil or any other municipal body do not
seriously concern the people, but they
are deeply Interested In efficient ad
ministration of affairs and the mainte
nance of the high standard of munici
pal government which has been main
tained for many years. Peace and har
mony are always conducive to an ef
ficient discharge of official duties.
VALLEY RAILWAYS TERMINAL
WITH regard to the Valley Rail
ways Company, this com
munity says "Welcome to our
city," but our friends on the
other side of the river ought not to be
unreasonable in their requests for oc
cupancy of our streets. Harrlsburg
has been doing much to improve the
city In the creation of parks, play
grounds, the construction of sanitary
sewers, the betterment of the River
Front and the elimination of the Pax
ton creek nuisance, not to mention
the passing of the overhead wires, and
local public utility companies are co
operating In this program of better
ment.
Under the circumstances our neigh
bors who accept our hospitality ought
not to violate the ordinary ethics that
obtain among polite people.
If we must have a third track half
way through Market Square and two
tricks In Market street between the
Square and Front street. In order to
accommodate our crossriver friends,
then we must, and that's all there Is to
It; but it would seem that careful
consideration of the Interests of all
concerned might develop some other
feasible plan of providing proper ter
minal facilities for the lmjjontant sub
urban lines from the other side of the
Susquehanna.
CHRISTIAN CHINA
CURRENT events indicate that it
is not over-zeal that prompts the
missionary heads of the vari
ous church denominations in the
United States to unite in holding that
China is ripe for evangelization. This!
is evident from the number of "new
faiths" reported in China.
For instance, Liang Tun-yen, China's
minister of communications, is apply
ing the progressive principles he ab
sorbed while a student at Yale Uni
versity in carrying out the recent
mandate as to secret societies which
are in most cases of a purely religious
nature. Mr. Liang has scotched the
attempt of a seditious sect to endanger
the operation of railroads, through a
conspiracy cloaked under the name
and style of the Railway Employees'
Union.
It must not for a moment be sup
posed that Liang or any important
Chinese official takes exception to
, trade unions in the broad acceptation
iof the term. Trade guilds, flourished
\ta China ion? before the existence of
*
THURSDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TFXEGRAPU JULY 23, 1914.
I America was dreamed of In Europe.
No matter how humble the craft,
every workman has his guild to pro
tect him- It Is not, therefore, In or
ganized trade unions that China sees
R menace to the peace and prosperity
of the nation. It Is in the multitude
of mushroom-like "faked faiths" that
are springing up In many parts of
China, gaining a hold on the people
through the veil of near-mystery that
attaches to them, and teaching the
initiated (who have incidentally paid
an "Initiation fee") fantastic religious
exceptions.
The very fact that these "new
faiths" are so popular Indicates a
spiritual unrest among the people that
should give the Christian missionaries
suclj an opportunity to spread the
gospel as they have never before en-
Joyed.
PRACTICAL SERVICE
THERE could he DO better illus
tration of the importance of the
City Planning Commission than
the consideration by the com
mission this week of plans for a new
suburb along the Llnglestown road
near the Colonial Country Club.
This tract is to be developed along
modern lines and as submitted to the
commission there were many defects
which were corrected after a thorough
discussion pf the contour of the
ground and the streets. The persons
interested were more than pleaded
with the benefit of the advice of the
planning commission and the result
will be a much more attractive subur
ban district than would have been pos
sible otherwise.
SPANISH IX THE SCHOOLS
IN recommending the study of
Spanish in the public schools of
Harrlsburg. the Telegraph unwit
tingly endorsed a suggestion along
that line made by Henry C. Orth on
May 29, 1903, When he was president
of the Board of Control.
Mr. Orth's report for the year in
cluded the following paragraph:
Graduates from the commercial
section of the High School are eag
erly sought for employment by
business men on account of their
proficiency In bookkeeping, stenog
raphy and typewriting. The Gov
ernment, by the fortunes of war,
has within the five years ac
quired territory Inhabited by peo
ple speaking the Spanish language.
The official and commercial lan
guage for generations to come,
naturally, will he of that tongue,
and I advance the suggestion that
the study of the Spanish language
be added to the curriculum of this
department, thereby increasing its
importance.
What a splendid handicap our
graduates would have had over those
of other cities to-day if the school di
rectors had followed Mr. Orth's ad
vice. There Is no doubt that places of
more than ordinary Importance and
remuneration await those who can
speak Spanish and who are educated
along modern business lines. Spanish
will be the language in which much
of our business correspondence of the
future must be conducted If we are
to take full advantage of the Panama
Canal, and the American representa
tive in Central and South America will
be at a loss unless he can speak the
prevailing tongue of those countries.
It is pleasing to note that a Har
risburg educator was among the first
to sec the necessity of adapting our
school course to new conditions, but
it Is to be regretted that the local
school authorities have been behind
those of many other cities in working
out the recommendation.
THAT ARDENT REFORMER
THAT ardent reformer. President
Wilson, Is dodging again.
Just as he hedged on equal
suffrage until driven into a
corner from which there was no
escape, he is now trying to conceal
his views on the temperance question.
The Hobson prohibition amendment
has been before Congress ever since it
convened. There is little chance that
it will be acted on before next winter.
Whether this will be beneficial to the
"drys" or the "wets" Is a thing apart.
The voting public has a right to know
where the President and the Demo
cratic Congress stand on this ques
tion—a question that is growing yearly
In Interest and which is bound soon
to assume national political import
ance. if it has not done so already.
The President does not want the
vote to be taken at this time because
he is playing as much for the "liquor
vote" as he Is for that of the pro
hibitionists. He Is trying to carry
water on both shoulders. He Is afraid
to come boldly out, as he ought to do
if he Is to be consistent In his atti
tude of bossing Congress, and tell the
little men who do his bidding how they
should vote to best please the Admin
istration.
NO FUSION FOR LEWIS
THE activity of Dean Lewis.
Washington party candidate for
governor, indicates that he
meant Just what he said last
week when he put his veto on the
fusion proposal. "Nonsense." said the
dean; "there Is nothing doing"
The scheme originated In Market
Square, Harrlsburg, and had for its
purpose to give McCormlck the fusion
nomination for governor; name a
Flinn man for lieutenant-governor and
another Flinn man for secretary of
internal affairs. There cannot, of
course, be any open community of In
terest between the two parties on
United States senator or congress-at
large, and, consequently, it Is the pur
pose to permit Palmer, Plnchot and
the congressional candidates to remain
in the field. The whole thing was a
"/rame-up" for McCormlck.
The failure of Dean Lewis to fall
into the trap set for him has left both
the qpmocrats and Progressives in a
most embarrassing position. In pro
posing fusion both Democrats and
Washlngtonlans virtually admitted
they have no prospect- of winning
against the Republicans. This con
fession is plea ing news to the host of
Republican voters in Pennsylvania.
Even though they have known it right
along It Is some satisfaction to realize
that the enemy Is willing to ackno\&
edge tta weakness and lack of confi
dence.
Fusion or no fusion Dr. Brumbaugh
Is going to be the next governor of
Pennsylvania. The people know htm
for what he is—a man of high moral
character, unquestioned ability, cour
age and a record for big things done
that dwarfs to ant hill proportions the
accomplishments of the men who op
pose him.
1 EVENING CHAT I
There isn't going to be any vacatioh
for the members of Pennsylvania's
Public Service Commission.' Under the
act the commission must meet twice
monthly and even if the members were
inclined to comply with only the letter
of the law and have purely formal
meetings with Just a quorum present
there is so much business piled up
that vacations would upset things and
make the task of the commissioners
doubly "hard in.the fall. The Job of
being commissioner is by no means
any cinch, as every day sees com
plaints appear and questions without
number are turning up so constantly
that It takes hustling to keep the de
cisions worked out. The plan now is
for the commissioners to hold regular
sessions in August and attorneys who
are compelled to appear are not in the
most amiable frame of mind. The
amount of business before the com
mission is far and away beyond ex
pectations and as far as possible cases
of the same character are being
grouped so that they can be disposed
of when precedents are established.
The organization of the bureaus is now
being perfected and two houses in the
Capitol Park extension district which
will not be needed for a couple of
years ara being fitted up as temporary
quarters for commission officials who
cannot be accommodated In the suite
in the Capitol. One of the odd things
about the congested condition of the
commission Is that on the floor above
there are five fine offices and one of the
finest courtrooms in the country, re
served for the uses of the appellate
courts, which occupy them about three
days a year, the Supreme Court not
using them at all this year. The State
Board of Public Charities uses one
suite five times a year and the Board
of Pardons the courtroom ten times a
year. Yet they are maintained in
splendid, though solitary, state, ready
for the courts which sit here in March
and in May and then for about sev
enty-two hours .
A good many people may nay things
about motorcycle and automobile driv
ers may give them terms anything but
complimentary, but the fact remains
that the average runner of the "road
devil" is pretty careful. This was illus
trated when a rider of a machine was
found sitting beside the river a short
distance above Coxestown while his
half-wrecked machine was lying on
the river bank above him.
"What's the matter?" was asked
him.
The cyclist scooped up some water
to stop his bleeding nose and said:
"Tried to avoid hittin' a dog and near
broke my neck."
The man who stopped commiserated
with the battered cyclist and was as
tonished to hear him start to sniffle.
He remarked that he "hoped the ma
chine was not hurt.
" 'Tain't that or me. The blanked
dog barked at me when I fell after
tryin' to keep from hittin' him," re
plied the rider.
"Where's Willie?" inquired an anx
ious mother in Derry street near Sev
enteenth yesterday afternoon.
A couple of kids standing near by
snickered.
"Willie!" shrilled the mother.
"Will-ie!"
•"Here," piped a childish treble.
It happens that "her#" was about
two-thirds of the way up one of tht>
tall steel latticed power transmission
poles at Seventeenth and Derry. These
poles are about ninety feet high and
carry enough current in their wires to
jclt a train of steel "battleships" full
of coal.
Willie came down and was marched
some blocks to his home asking
Whathevldone ?"
People who disregard the warning
signs of the Motor Club of Harrisburg
to detour around the paving in Derry
street between Eighteenth and Twenty
third has brought a number of people
to grief. The other day four automo
biles went by the barriers in an hour
and after running over concrete or
plain, ordinary trenches for a block or
so stopped and began to kick. One
man who went on the concrete as fast
as he could stopped suddenly and re
turning began to swear at the men
who stood about because of the man
ner in which the city kept its streets.
When it was explained that the street
was being paved he said he did not see
any signs. They were shown to him
and he declared that the city was no
good. Another man ran from Twenty
third to Nineteenth on the -torn-up
street and talked of suing for damages.
Among visitors to the city yester
day was Colonel W. Hayes Grler, for
mer superintendent of public printing,
soldier, editor and Democrat. The
colonel came to the city to see if the
Susque-hanna was still flowing and met'
a number of his friends. He is hale
and hearty and takes a big interest
in politics.
The interesting article In the Star-
Independent last night about "the
riots of seventy-seven," whose anni
versaries occur this week, attracted
much attention among some of the
older citizens and there were many
anecdotes related about the stirring
times. In those days City Clerk Mil
ler was connected with the Telegraph
and when the troubles started he Just
camped about the office, being ready
for every emergency from opening Are
to getting out an extra. The badges
worn by the posse in those days are
preserved by a number of citizens.

with L>r. Brumbaugh in the conduct ot
tne campaign.
William Draper .Lewis wound up his
tour of Liaupnm county la.st
Middletown, where triends of Repre

turned out to give linn a
welcome. The dean was Progressives
in good fighting form >leei and Go
and reiterated the re- to lx;Uanou
marks about child labor
exploiters which had
tuused some embarrassment to one of
ma cmef supporters in the upper end
01 the county yesterday morning. The
meeting was held in the Bquare at
Middletown and Candidates Kreider
and were also there. When
the meeting was over the dean hustled
lor Harrlsburg to meet Pinchot, who
had arrived a short time before.
Pinchot said that Colonel Roosevelt
was going to take an active part in
behalf of the State ticket and would
make many speeches in the State.
Neither candidate appeared to think
much of the fusion plan. They left
early this morning for Lebanon with
Dr. J. H. Kreider. candidate for Con
gress and clerk in the Auditor Gen
eral's department. The doctor is pre
sumably on leave or taking a vacation
from his duties.
William Jennings Bryan, Secretary
of State, left affairs at Washington
yesterday afternoon and spent six
hours on Pennsylvania
soil in keeping high
priced Chau tau q u a Bryan-Visits

Democrats. Yesterday as a Speaker
was the secretary's day
for Mechani csbu r g,
Gettysburg, Waynesboro and Cham
.hersburg having their dates last week,
and Columbia, Dallastown, Lititz and
Parkesburg coming later in the week.
The secretary eschewed politics on his
visit, but gave the Democrats of Dau
phin and Cumberland the benefit of
his countenance. He shook hands
warmly with the many men who have
lately turned out to be original Bryan
men and had a clinging clasp for such
Democrats as local bosses Indicated
were wavering in their faith. Mr.
Bryan came here last evening and a
committee from the Democratic clubs
and from the Mechanlcsburg
qua struggled for possession of him.
He was hustled to Mechanlcsburg,
given a dinner, a reception, a visit
by suffragists and an opportunity for
one of his brilliant lectures. Then he
came back and a lot of Democrats
surrounded him like satellites do a
planet of the first magnitude,

WHEN THE FOI.KS COME BACK
By Wing Dinger
Gee, whiz, but I've been busy
At home, these past few nights,
In weeding lawn and garden
things to rights.
I've mowed the front and back lawns,
And then on hands and knees
I've trimmed the edges neatly
And fixed things up to please.
I've used the hose quite freely
To give the plants a drink;
I've don© more things about home
Than ever, so I think.
But, holy smokes, things looked bad,
I had to set them right, f
Because the absent family
Conies home to-morrow night.
WHERE THE FARMER SUCCEEDS
WITHOUT RAIN
One of the greatest and most tri
umphant agricultural booms In the
world Is to be found In Africa—tne dry
land farmer of central Tunis, where
the rainfall Is less than ten Inches.
This success is astonishing In the face
of the uncertainty, dread, and failure
that harass our own as yet unadusted
dry-land agriculture. As an evidence
of local failure I would cite the ob
servations of an agricultural scientist
on a recent ninety-mile Journey In the
southern "art of the Great Plains,
wheer the rainfall averages twenty
Inches. In the ninety miles traversed
there was but one surviving settler and
not even a cattle ranch. The dry farm
ers had pushed out the cattlemen, and
the recent droughts hail pushed out tb.e
dry farmers—all but one—ln a strip as
