FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 24 ONLY STATE FREE OF DEBT ACCORDING to the figures of the United States Census Bureau, Pennsylvania is the only State in the Union free of debt. In tonly a small number of the States Is the record of Pennsylvania In this re spect and some of the 'Commonwealths of the nation have a per capita debt exceeding that of the United States, $1,059. It has been the constant charge of the Democrats of this State that un der Republican management there has been constant waste of the public money and extravagance beyond measure. Not long since It was seri ously asserted by one ardent, but woe fully Ignorant Democratic writer that was actually on the verge of bankruptcy and that certain well-known men of the State were being considered as possible receivers. Of course, this was absurd on the face of it, but It shows,the length to which theSe detractors of the great empire of Pennsylvania will go in their efforts to malign those who have been In charge of the affairs of Its govern ment. The. truth of the matter is that Pennsylvania, as the census record shows, has been and is one of the most carefully managed States in the tTnion. Not only have those who have teen In charge of Its finances been so careful In frhelr expenditures as to con stantly leave at the close of every ad ministration a handsome surplus in 'the treasury, but they have so ar ranged matters that the burden of our "taxes falls largely upon the great cor porations that play so prominent a |j>axt In the life of the Commonwealth. !In this way not only are our own (people relieved largely from the pay ment of State taxes, but consumers of many another State in which our man ufactured products are sold are made to contribute their share through cor poration taxes to our prosperity. It may not be, however, that this freedom from State debt is a virtue •ntirely. For instance, we are in sore need of extensive road improvements. 3t is well nigh Impossible for the Leg islature to appropriate sufficient money out of the general revenues, without restricting expenditure else-1 fwhere, to provide sufficient money to warry out the program that the State '•Highway Department believes to be necessary for the proper development of our highways. There Is no ques tion that the taxpayers made a serious mistake when they turned down the g-oad loan a year ago. They were mis lead by the same falsifying trouble makers who have been telling them that the State is in a bad way finan cially, and the figures presented by the United States Census Bureau are bound to disillusionize those who have been accepting these lies as facts. THAT PORK BARREL SENATOR SIMMONS, chairman of the United States Senate finance committee, has declared that the Democrats of the Senate have solemnly pledged themselves to re main in Washington until the rivers and harbors bill Is passed. This is certainly a high ambition on the part of the Democratic Senators who have entered into the agreement. It Is well known that the present rivers and harbors bill contains more "pork" than any other similar meas ure ever considered by any Congress. This despite the plank in the Demo cratic platform of 1912 pledging that party to an economical administra tion of the nation's affairs, with a vicious slap at this very form of. rlve.-s and harbors legislation which the Democrats have for years held was misused by the Republicans when they Ijwere In power. So much scandal has been caused by the tremendous abuses In the pres ent measure and the immense amounts ;©f money that will be wasted If it be comes a law, that fears had been en tertained by some of those most lnter «sted that the "pork" barrel bill would be allowed to go by default, through a lack of quorum In the final days of the session. This authorized state ment from the leader of the Senate FRIDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH JULY 24, 1914. will quiet the uneasiness of those who have been fearing that they would be denied this form of more or less legiti mate graft upon which they are rely ing to help them In maintaining Dem ocratic supremacy in Congress. Of MEXICO I r is laughable to note the enthusi lastlc message Senator Bryan sent a few days ago to President Wil son congratulating him on the success of MS peace policy In Mexico, in the light of recent occurrences in that country. With the Administra tion rejuloing over the restoration of peace, a dispatch in the Public Ledger of this morning from Mexico City Is to the effect that the inhabitants of the capital are alarmed to-day on account of the scarcity of drinking water and the fear that adherents of General Za pata have captured the water works at Xochimilco. THE PRESIDENT'S ATTITUDE DECLARING that Representative Fitzgerald had an erroneous impression when he stated that the Democratic Administration regarded him and his congressional colleagues from New York as "politi cal buccaneers," President Wilson told his visitors yesterday that his policy in all the Democratic State fights Is one of strict neutrality. President Wilson evidently forgot the extreme position he took in Penn sylvania just previous to the recent primaries, when he went so far as to consider coming personally Into Penn sylvania to urge the nomination of one set of candidates on the Democratic ticket as opposed to another. President Wilson not only took sides in the fight In this State, but he actu ally picked out certain candidates, gave them his personal endorsement and did everything In his power to force them upon the voters of the Democratic party, using every possible means to do so and not withholding Federal patronage when that patron age could be used to the advantage of the men upon whom he had placed his stamp of personal approval. If this Is the President's idea of neutral ity, it might be interesting to ascertain his views as to what constitutes favor itism. THE SPITE FENCES HARRISBURG and vicinity are marked by several of these nasty evidences of personal spleen known as "spite fences." It would be a good thing for Pennsyl vania if the Legislature of this State passed a law such as that which a California court has Just upheld, de claring the "spite fence" to be a pub lic nuisance and therefore illegal. The first effect of this new law In California was to result In a suit brought against a man residing on Russian Hill, a suburb of San Fran cisco commanding a view of the bay, which view was obstructed by the erection of flats, and when the flat dwellers declined to remove the top story of their structures, retaliated by building a wall cutting off much of their light and air. When the court ordered him to reduce the wall to ten feet the judge explained his.action on the ground that property owners have the right to make the best possible use of their own property, but that no land owner Is Justified In erecting any thing thereon that not only does not benefit him but detracts from the pleasure, comfort or the value of the property of persons Immediately ad joining. As H California newspaper com ments in discussing this case, the "spite fence" Is merely evidence of a very bad temper. No matter how badly one may have been used he Is not justified in taking any such meas ure as that which the California court has just declared illegal. THE POPULARITY OF FAIRS THE popularity of county fairs and expositions throughout Pennsylvania and surrounding States Is well Illustrated by the announcement that the seven fairs comprising the Pen Mar Fair and Racing Circuit have completed their program for the coming season and will give purses amounting to $3 5,000. These are in addition to the thousands of dollars that will be presented to winners of livestock, farm, household and manufacturing premiums. These figures are all the more Im pressive from the fact that they do not include any of the real large fairs of Pennsylvania, such as those at Al lentown, York and others In the west ern part of the State. Time was when the county fair was merely a local gathering, frequented by racing sharks, cheap gamblers and tinhorn sports, who took away from the farmer and his family as much of the season's receipts as they brought with them to the show. But the whole aspect of these country fairs has changed. They now not only pro vide means of pleasure for those who attend, but combine with their amuse ment .side much that is educational and profitable from a business stand point. Away back In the middle ages and earlier the fair had a large place' in the community life of every well pop ulated district. It was here that the merchant displayed his most attractive goods and where the traveler from far countries sold his imported novel ties. In some parts of Europe the fair is to-day much the same as it was in the time of the crusades and before. In America it has come to be the place where the latest things in farm machinery and everything that goes to make up rural life is displayed for the benefit of the up-to-date farmer, who usually brings (to it the well-fllled purse of after harvest time. It Is no ticeable, too, that almost all of these fairs are proving profitable and that dividends are being paid and improve ments made out of surpluses that only a few years back were deficits. Ap parently the fair has come to be a pretty good business proposition ' 1 EVENING CHAT I In these days when the army worm is ravaging lawns and the web worm la eating the hearts of the corn and the San Jose scale destroying the vigor of the fruit trees it is a matter of remark as to why the weeds escape. The weed is something which the average inan cannot understand and which the farmer does. To the farmer they mean trouble and work. Just as an illus tration of the manner in which weeds can spread it is only necessary to look at the lawn of the federal building. Before the contractors began to en large the building Uncle Sam's lawn was the finest in Harrlsburg and its velvety appearance attracted much at tention. It was kept up to the minute and dandelions and plantains found no root there. In a few months a change has come over it. Take, for instance, the side along Court street. "Within fifty feet there are twelve kinds of pestiferous weeds. There is the burdock, something like the wild mus tard. a. plant suspiciously like chicory, plantains, dandelions and everything that should be kept out of a well ordered lawn that has been kept at top-notch in the heart of a city for years. The question is how did the weeds get into the lawn? Most of them are not known except where there are outlots and yet they are on the one patch of lawn that rivals the Capitol Park and flourishing vigorously and In full flower. "One thing you can put down to the credit of the army worm, and it is probably the only thing, too," re marked a man who is interested In educational affairs. "And that is the manner in which the presence of the worm has stimulated interest in the Study of natural history. I know of people who never paid much attention to the varieties of creeping, crawling things that we have about us until the army worm began maneuvers on their front lawns. They proceeded to look up the characteristics of the militant pest and the last few days have caused a good many people to be looking up other things In the same line. I have noted it in conversations and I guess the public library has had some de mands in that direction." Property owners in the western part of the city are complaining bitterly of the squirrels which have invaded their premises. They insist that these squir rels follow the telegraph wires from Capitol Park and on this overhead route reach the most distant parts of the city. One prominent citizen «aid he had noticed a squirrel cleaning out a robin's nest an<f when one squirrel was shot for killing young birds the survivor immediately went down town and brought back another mate. The same gentleman remarked that the squirrels in Capitol Park were a posi tive, menace to the bird life of the city and that the pigeons around the Capi tol were a worse pest than the army worm. "What's the reason that the Cono doguinet and other streams in Cum berland and Perry counties have it all over our own Swatara as fishing grounds?" asked one of the citv's old time anglers. "I used to go fishing In the Swatara about the early seventies ? n . d , » was noted Ashing, but lately I never hear of anyone going there. In fact, the average Dauphin county angler goes to the Cumberland or Perry side when he wants to catch | fish. There used to be good fishing in some of the creeks up the county and now you never hear o{ them, and the average man can't name the streams between the Mahantongo and Cone wago that flow into the Susquehanna from Dauphin county." Members of the Harrisburg Cana dian fishing contingent are in their glory just now. They are going and coming and each one is telling the other how fine is the fishing or the sleeping or the other delights. Yester day P. "W. Pleitz. former Deputy Attor ney General and a Bobcaygeon"habitue of eighteen years, ran right Into an Eag esmere partisan. It happens that Eaglesmere is very popular with raanv Harrisburgers and this Eaglesmere man happened to be Charles H. Berg ner. 'They argued the' respective merits for a quarter of an hour far more earnestly than they did cases be fore courts. The ringing of the Courthouse bell yesterday afternoon for a test of the .5i 1 , a ' 3out 1-30 caused some people to think that court was being convened earlier than usual. So thev went into the courtroom. It is one of the hottest places in Harrisburg early in the aft ernoon and the interested ones sat and sweltered. They sat and sat and finally about 2 o'clock the court officials came in and things started as usual. Then some indignant ones wanted to know why Brownie rang the bell.

Morris' second receiving Thursday at the Democratic windmill yesterday was not as pleasant a function as he had hoped it to be. The attendance was not as large as expected, the weather was hot and the reports presented were so gloomy that the chairmari for got his suavity and declared that wick ed men were printing stories about the Democratic party. Mr. Morris en deavored to give the impression that there are no dissensions in the Demo cratic party in Pennsylvania, but when his remarks were analyzed it appeared that he considered only the little coterie of reorganization bosses as the Democratic party. Mr. Morris saw about a score of Democratic bosses of greater or less degree of influence, energy and need. He discussed fusion on legislative tickets, it not being proper to discuss fusion on State or congressional tick ets now; arranged for organizing the districts, listing voters and holding meetings. Some of the visitors com plained that the chairman was not very definite about where the money was coming from for all of the work he outlined. When Mr. Morris had finished his conferences or receptions he gave some interviews and declared that patronage had not been discussed. When he made that surpris- Headsman ing statement there Present nt was sitting beside him Interview the official "heads man" of the national administration. James I. Blakslee. fourth assistant postmaster general, the man com monly believed to be the holder of the rubber stamp in. the distribution of patronage. Blakslee, who was here at lrst week's conferences and at other Democratic meetings, appears to have the prevailing habit of absenteeism from Washington that is go popular among Democrats, but which among Republicans is held to be a crime. Charitable folks thought Mr. Morris was joking last night when he an nounced in the presence of Blakslee that patronage was not discussed. Blakslee knows more about the detail of politics in Pennsylvania than any one else in the Democratic party , and if his frequent visits to Harrisburg and his appearance here when Morris is In town do not mean discussion of jobs the only other conclusion is that Blakslee likes hot weather traveling. The Democratic city committee got into fashion last night by determining to start its campaign early and to take a share in it in stead of allowing the Democrats county committee to Planning stage the whole show. Campaign The committee met at the rooms of the Cen tral Democratic Club and was jolted loose from its com placency by Jesse J. Lybarger, one of the legislative candidates, who de clared that the time to start action was right now. This appeared to ap peal to many of the committeemen and they agreed to have President- Chairman Jones start things, trusting to the State committee and the candi dates to supply the funds. Herr Moes lein and Candidate John A. Marshall joined in the oratorical feast that fol lowed. The plan is to arrange to block the precincts and to pick watch ers before they are snapped up by anyone else. Senator Penrose, Dr. Brumbaugh and Ex-Congressman B. K. Focht have been invited to address the people at the Union county fair Focht's at Lewlsburg during Campaign the week x>f September Budding 21 and it is expected that they will attend, although the Itinerary has not yet been announced. Focht's campaign for re-election in the Seventeenth dis trict. of which Union is a part, Is pro gressing very well and It Is expected that between the blundering of Mor ris, Blakslee and Dershem in the dis tribution of post offices in that dis trict that there will be abundant hatchets wielded. The chairmen of the division embraced in this district were summoned to Harrisburg yes terday by Division Boss Duncan and told to get busy. Dershem is in bad shape for campaign managers, there being none who can beat Focht when it comes down to campaigning. Whether the Philadelphia contests engineered by the reorganization ma chine in an effprt to unseat the men elected by the people to the Democratic city committee will Philadelphia be pushed or not Contests in does not appear to Dark Just Now be known at the Democratic windmill. The committee named to wash the party linen arranged to call a meeting for next week in Philadelphia, but up to date nothing has been done in the way of giving notice. It is believed that Chairman Morris will sidetrack the resumption of the hearings until later In the fall so as to hold the mat ter over the heads of the Old Guard as a club. Others say that he wants to get out of the snarl by having the matter dropped. REDUCING THE MEAT BILL In the Woman's Home Companion a butcher explains how "skirt" steaks, which are cheaper than others, are In reality just as nutritious and tender as any part of a beef carcass. But the reader is warned that If a butcher takes a "skirt" steak and tears It apart It will not be looked upon as steak by many people. The point Is made that the success of dishes prepared from cheap cuts Is almost entirely depend ent upon two Individuals—the butcher and the cook. The butcher who wants to discour age the purchase of cheap cuts by his customers will cut the cheaper cuts so badly that the best of cooks will be baffled. The cook who may not be able to prepare fc choice piece of t%n derloln. sirloin, or porterhouse with out destroying its flavor will prove un equal In handling the cheaper pieces, of course. Many a choice piece of meat is palatable In spite of the cook and not because of her efficiency. There are some things which are so fine that they will survive almost any sort of treatment. Skirt steak, shoulder chops, plate corned beef will not. They must be prepared with special cars. t [ OUR DAILY LAUGH ) A ' Glrl*a _ .

NEWS DISPATCHES OF THE CIVIL WAR [From the Telegraph, July 24, 1864 ] NEGRO TROOPS HELP Cairo. July 23.—The battle of Tapa lucl,- on the 13 th, was a very severe one, the enemy being very severely punished by a cavalry and negro troop, who bore the brunt of the en gagement. 27 REBEL PRISONERS Cairo, July 24.—The steamer Belle Memphis has arrived with ninety seven rebel prisoners, taken at the battle of Tupelo. THE MANHJEIM INCIDENT [From the Manheim Sentinel] The article in the North American referring to "Manheim Manufacturer as Business Tories" is characteristic of the sheet in publishing articles and making statements on subjects which they know nothing about. The Industry in question (asbestos) is one of this country's infant indus tries in the fullest sense of the word and needs the protection which the Republican administration offered it. This branch of the industry employs altogether approximately 1,000 men in the entire United States—about 400 of whom are employed in Manheim— and when the Democratic tariff went Into force the duty on their product was cut 20 per cent., with the direct result that since September 1 the plant has been unable to operate more than 50 per cent, of its capacity, which had its direct effect on the pay envelope. Interviews with numerous employes of the concern In question have brought forth the statement from the men that "we have had enough of a Democratic administration," which administration, as we all know, was made possible through the activities of the so-called Progressive party; and Instead of resenting the intelligent In formation regarding wages given on the Penrose card, they welcomed same as It simply confirmed the experience which they themselves have been go ing through. The Sentinel, next week, will publish figures showing the increased Impor tations of this product under the new tariff. The statement made in the North American that the distribution of these cards was fathered from Pen rose headquarters Is along the general lines of misrepresentation, as the con cern is not in polities, but believes in legislation that will protect the indus try and further the interests of its employes; and the statement which the North American makes, which implies that a workingman's self respect is such a fragile thing that it can be destroyed by the Insertion of a card in the pay envelope, is a direct reflection on the intelligence of the worklngman, not only In Manheim but In any other section of the State. Surely if they depended upon the North American and the progressive party to All their pay envelopes It is a question In our minds whether they would receive anything biit cards, and the Information on theAe cards would probably be so distorted that they would be of no value.

BACK TO THE REPUBLICAN PARTY [Philadelphia Inquirer ] Without exception indications every where point to a return of Progres sives and independent Republicans to the Republican party. Primary elec tions in various States have revealed the homeward movement. So evident is it even to the faithful that the Pro gressive party is becoming a mere shadow of itself that the call arises from every quarter for the presence of the One Man for whom the party wrs organized. "Save us or we perish," is the universal appeal that is sent to Sir. Roosevelt at Oystfcr Bay. Even in the State of New York Roosevelt has been wrestled with to become a candidate for governor in order to rescue the sinking craft. That he has thus far refused is a tribute to his sagacity; that he himself is actually engaged in promoting a scheme for a fusion of some sort is evident of his -fear that as an or ganization standing alone the Progres sive party of his own State would be doomed to defeat. The fact is that while there may still me a great deal of sentiment for Roosevelt, self-preservation continues to be tire first law of nature. The country is no longer dealing with sentiment, but with solid facts. Mr. Roosevelt himself has declared Demo cratic rule to be a menace that already has proved to be exceedingly destruc tive. In that he has but voiced the opinions of business men, of manu facturers and the employes of the In dustries that have felt the blighting hand of a near-free trade policy. What is to be done about these un satisfactory conditions? What is the best way to meet them and put an end to Democratic experimentation with the country? Why, by uniting against all candidates for office who represent the Democratic policies, to be sure. It is a very simple thing to .Keep the Democratic party in power. All that is necessary is to repeat the experi ence of 1912. At the very height of the Progressive movement, when the usually plain thinking man gave way to actual hysteria in his enthusiasm for Roosevelt, the latter was defeated. Wilson was elected and a Democratic government was established in Wash ington. Anything like a third party movement of similar strength would maintain that government in all of its power. The campaign of 1914 would repeat that of two years ago. While it is a simple thing to keep the Democratic party in control, it is likewise a simple thing to defeat it. With a return to the Republican party of a-goodiy number of those who got t.way from it in 1912 that defeat of Democracy would be inevitable. The political situation, therefore, appeals to common sense. Just as in 1912, a vote for Progressive candi dates next November would merely aid the Democratic party. In the light of experience, this fact is so plain that ■GAq««ABTEMrra " SHIRTS SIDES & SIDES * AMUSEMK.VTS Sacred Band Concert Boiling Springs Park Bth REGIMENT BAND Of Carlisle Sunday, Ju1y26,2 P.
