U sited Bnatness Offloc. IN. Editorial Room 686. Job Dept. SOS. SATURDAY EVENING. JULY 25 McADOO'S JOYRIDING APPARENTLY there is more of truth than William G. McAdoo, Secretary of the Treasury, would like to have known in the controversy that has been aroused by his personal use of the government revenue cutters. On July 11 Repre sentative Good, of lowa, in a speech In the House, accused Secretary Mc- Adoo of "Joyriding" on these cutters in violation of the law that prohibits the employment of such vessels for "personal use." Later Secretary McAdoo wrote a let ter denying the truth of this accusa tion and declared that he traveled on revenue cutters as an administrative head of the service for the purpose of familiarizing himself with the opera, tions and duties of such vessels. He denied with heat the charge that a revenue cutter came to Washington every week to "load up" with Demo cratic officeholders for "joyrldes" down the Potomac river. According to the latest facts dug up by Mr. Good, Secretary McAdoo has been doing just exactly what the lowa member first charged. It is shown that the revenue cutter Apache during the entire season has been leaving Washington every Saturday afternoon loaded to capacity with Democratic place-holders and politicians selected by the Secretary of the Treasury and his assistants for a cruise down the Potomac. The Apache returns to Washington on Monday morning, dis charges her precious cargo and goes back to Baltimore. Despite all that Mr. McAdoo may say concerning the official business that required such use of government property, the fact remains that he has been using the revenue cutter as a private yacht for private purposes. This is a sample of real Democratic econ omy and Mr. Good is quite within the bounds of propriety when he asks if this is performance of the Democratic platform pledge, "we demand a return to that simplicity and economy which befits a Democratic government." WAITING FOK WARBURG NQUESTIONAm,Y President U Wilson is chagrined over his inability to force the Senate to confirm Mr. Jones as a member of the Federal Reserve Board. Mr. Wilson excuses his inability to dic tate to the upper House in a lot of high-sounding phrases through every one of which the observing reader may note a vein of personal vexation. President Wilson has himself to blame for his defeat. Previous to his election and during almost the entire first year of his administration, in public and private utterances, he did his best to discredit before the people the representatives of big business. Mr. Jones is a director in the "Harvester Trusts." As the President says, he is no doubt a man of ability and high personal character, but he bears the stamp that the President himself placed upon him, and it is little won der that the Senate, which has contin ually heard from the White House the refusal of its occupant to even give so much as a hearing on questions of leg islation to such men as Mr. Jones, de clined to place him in a place of high authority in national affairs. As Mr. Wilson says, it is unfortunate that class distinction should enter Into such important matters of government as this, but the President himself is en tirely to blame. Relieved by the withdrawal of the nomination of Mr. Jones, Administra tion Senators now await the decision of the President in the case of the second nominee, Paul M. "Warburg. It is but natural that Senators Hitchcock and Reed, the Democratic members of the banking and currency committee who made the confirmation of Jones Impossible, and who were berated by the President for so doing, are expect ed to make a statement hostile to Warburg aa soon as the "White House Indicates that the local banker is to stay in the fight. The two Democratic Senators are expected to ask for light upon Warburg's alleged authorship, of t the Aldrlch currency, bill and his exact SATURDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH JULY 25,1914. status In the world of high finance. No question as to Warburg's ability has been raised, but those who are opposing his appointment quite natur ally want to know what advantages to a great bankinghouse might accrue r from the elevation of one of its chiefs to a place on the supreme fiscal tri l bunal of the nation. TEARING UP THE PARK I' T is regrettable that the Legislature did not give the City Planning? Commission authority over such 1 matters as that Involved in the ripping open of the River Front Park for the laying of water mains. It should be a part of the duties of this commission to prevent Just such crimes against the beauties of the city as this threatens to be. The fact that thousands of people will be barred from the use of the River Front Park during the time this "improvement" is in progress of construction is grievous enough in it self, but It is really a very small con sideration in comparison with the ulti mate damage that will result from the destruction of trees that have required years upon years to grow. The park strip would be a very poor recreation place, Indeed, If it were not for the shade of these beautiful trees, some of them as old as the city itself, and all of them of a value that cannot be computed In dollars and cents. Even with the most careful work on the part of the contractors, the laying of the pipes as contemplated through the park will unquestionably necessi tate severance of many of the top roots, and it will be surprising indeed if a large number of the trees are not either so eerlously damaged as to cause their early death, if not killed outright. The ground upon which the contract was let for the placing of this pipe in the park instead of in the street, where it belongs, was purely that of economy. Four thousand dollars, we are told, will be saved to the city by this plan, but In the light of the time required to produce them and all the years of work and expenditure neces sary to bring them to a state of ma turity and beauty such as we now see along the River Front, how can a few thousand dollars be compared with the wonderful growth of trees that a/dorns this popular resting place? It is a short-sighted policy that places money value on such beauties at Harrisburg possesses in these ma jestic trees, and if many of them arc killed or seriously damaged by the contractors, the blame must unques tionably lie with those who have in sisted that the work be done in this manner. SIGN'S OF THE TIMES THERE are very distinct and grow ing signs that Colonel Roosevelt is planning to be the Republican nominee for President In 1916. Political forecasters have been pre dicting this ever since the Colonel's return from South America and it becomes more and more evident that they have not been far astray. Word now comes from Oyster Bay that William W. Cox, of Westbury, who represented that Congressional district when Colonel Roosevelt was in the White House, and who is a close friend of the former President, , is to be nominated on both the Pro gressive and Republican tickets this year. Mr. Cox was one of the participants in a "get together" feast at Oyster ! Bay yesterday. At the conclusion of the conference he expressed the belief that Republicans and Progressives throughout the nation will see the wis dom of joining forces this year to elect a Congress opposed to the Wilson ad ministration. Mr. Cox has been for , years one of the Colonel's intimates, is a frequent visitor to Sagamore Hill : and is believed to reflect the Colonel's J views when he advocates a working < agreement between the two parties. J A PROPER PENALTY IN view of the large number of auto- ] mobile accidents that have oc curred in Harrisburg and imme diate vicinity within recent weeks | the penalty meted out by a Buffalo ' judge to an Erie chauffeur the other 1 day ought to be warning to "joy- J riders" as to what some of them may i receive in the local courts if they are j not more careful. In this particular case nobody was < injured, but the car was badly broken , and lives were endangered all along the course of the flying car. There was no question at all of the driver's guilt and the judge assessed against him a fine of $250. When the con- ' victed driver and employer protested that this was excessive, the judge re- ' plied that he was confident that while J this might be the opinion of those who had disobeyed the law, he felt certain ' that the public would regard the pun- ' ishment as not very severe in view of ] the circumstances. 1 It might be well for prosecutions to c be pushed in some such cases about ] Harrisburg. The practice of dashing > hither and thither regardless of the rights of pedestrians, as long aa the \ gasoline holds out, is more prevalent than it ought to be. Unquestionably, while there may be extenuating cir- : cumstances in some cases, fast driving has been responsible for a large num ber of deaths and injuries throughout Central Pennsylvania during the last few months. The lives of pedestrians are at stake and all careful drivers of automobiles will agree that there Is no punishment too severe for the man who places his own pleasure above the safety of those who walk the roads. A Connecticut wife sues her husband . for divorce because he beat her with a roast-turkey. Any man who so far for gets himself as to misuse a roaat turkey like that ought to be divorced. In these days of thlrty-two-cent beef steak a gravey spot on the necktie be comes a badge of wealth. 1 EVENING CHAT 1 It's a subject of remark about the Capitol how people who have the habit continue to visit the flagroom of the State Museum. For years and years veterans of the Civil War and their families have been coming to Harris burg, and the lirst place they went to was the big room on the second floor where the flags remained from 1896 to flve weeks ago. Now that the flags have been transferred to a better place for proper display there are still many folks who go to the flagroom. Some of them have read all about the cere monies attending the transfer of the flags last month, but they drop in at the former place and talk about the standards. Many of them visit the other interesting departments of the Museum, and the big white building bids fair to be one of the most popu lar places on the whole of Capitol Hill. By and by, the State will put up a museum in keeping with its im portance and the treasures in the old Executive Building will be housed as they should be. The temperature was so different from what most people believed It was yesterday that during the afternoon a couple of observations were made at the government building in order to make sure. During the hottest part of the day, when the average man was thinking that the mercury was around 100 because of the intense humidity, the observer found that it was but 82. When he was told to come down to dots he insisted that 8 2 was right, and to satisfy some newspapermen he made a second observation. He found it just where he said and that ended it. But the man who bet that It was 82 found plenty of takers. Professor D. C. Babcock, a forest pathologist connected with the Na tional Department of Agriculture, who is stationed at Wooster, Ohio, in a letter addressed tci Oliver D. Schoek, formerly assistant superintendent of the Pennsylvania Chestnut Tree Blight Commission, reports that the chestnut bark disease has invaded Ohio. Sev eral centers of infection have been found, the latest point being near Ashtabula. Professor Babcock de sired information regarding the con dition of the chestnut in Western Pennsylvania. Previous to the sus pension of work by the commission there was but little infection west of the Allegheny mountains. Since then the blight has secured a foothold in a number of localities, and unless the owners of the trees resort to prompt remedial measures, such as cutting out and burning the infected material, its further and rapid dissemination is in evitable. Eastern Pennsylvania tim ber owners suffered very heavy losses. Omar F. Hershey, the Baltimore banker, who is mentioned for the re serve board, is well remembered by some of the older residents ort Huut melstown and vicinity. He left here while a young man. very soon after leaving college and has been actively identified with financial affairs in Bal timore. He has occasionally visited this city. The visitors to the State Capitol this week have included people from twenty-one different States as well as Porto Rico, England and Australia. The hot weather causes a boom in the visitors because there are many auto mobile parties and folks from nearby towj.s come here to see the building. The camp of the First and Fourth Brigades at Alt. Gretna next month will be the last camps of the State's organized militia that Governor Tener will attend while he is Chief Magis trate. The Governor has enjoyed Ills visits to the camps very much. He had one division camp, several bri gade camps, the rifle practice camps and some maneuver camps to visit. In addition he was at Gettysburg during the great reunion. While he never served in the Guard, the Governor has always taken a keen interest and more than one company commander has re ceived letters or words of encourage ment from him. After all, there is a good hit in an official kind word in keeping a military organization up to the scratch, and Adjutant General Stewart has helped do that more than once. As a result of the decision of the Dauphin County Court that water may not be added to apple juice before it is sold as vinegar a number pf grocers have been having their own troubles. They determined to allow the customer to -water his own vinegar, preferring that course, to the risk of getting ar rested for violation of the law. As a result a number of grocers have been called up by housewives who complain that the vinegar is too sharp, too tart or too sour and that It is not like what they "used to buy." The grocers are thus put in the dilemma of telling the buyers that the vinegar used to be watered or else saying it must be all right. Most of them compromise by suggesting addition of a little water. Officials of the State Forestry Com mission have a good scheme to give warnings about protecting the forests. They stamp all parcels with labels which bear the legend: "Please help protect Pennsylvania's forests." Ad vice is given to be careful about fires in the woods, to be sure that the camp fire is dead and to extinguish the matches and'tobacco before throwing them away. The label also contains this statement: "Wise use of forests will Insure pos terity against famine.

Does Not Explain How He Failed to Get National Administra tion For Oleo Bill GENERAL IN STATEMENTS : Blakslee's County Would Seem to Need a Little of the Federal Official's Time "Farmer'' William T. Creasy, Demo cratic' candidate for lieutenant-gov ernor, who put a lot of subordinate committees of the Palmer-McCormick League into hot water a week ago when he denounced committees that had not filed expense accounts in ig norance of the fact that the league's committees were the worst offenders, has gone and done it again. | This time the "Farmer" was so busy twisting politics into his Grange legis- LlaUve platform announcements that he stated that the national government J had given the Grangers . everything j they had asked for and that the State government had done practically noth ing, as he saw it. Now it happens that the Democratic leaders in Congress have prevented the enactment into law of the oleo bill recommended by the National Dairy Union. The Repub lican legislature of Pennsylvania gave the Grangers all the oleo laws that they demanded and Governor Tener last year signed the color law which prohibits the coloring of oleo and sets standards and colors. The Democratic bosses in Congress have steadfastly refused to enact the bill the farmers want into law. And Creasy is a member of a com mittee named to get the bill through Congress, which is dominated by men of the same party which has nomi nated him for lieutenant-governor. Last week Creasy hit the Palmer- McCormick machine an awful whack. This time he has hit himself on the back of the head with the flail he raised to smite his opponents. Harry W. Pyles, W. W. Champion and Dr. J. W. Vanhorn, original Wash ington party men in Wyoming county and all members of the county committee, were Detrieh read out of the party at Gets Out Williamsport yester day His Ax by State Chairman A. Nevin Detrich, who made speaking dates for Glf ford Pinchot and William Draper Lewis, and conferred with M. T. Stokes, of Coudersport, Washington party candidate for Congress in the Fifteenth district. Pyles, Champion and Vanhorn are known to be warm friends of Con gressman Edgar R. Kiess, who is a candidate for re-election on the Re publican ticket. Before the primaries they came out in support of Kiess for the Washington party nomination, hut their plans were defeated by Stokes and his friends. Chairman Detrich de clared that no recognition would be given the three men either as county committeemen or members of the Washington party. Besides being a member of the county committee, Mr. Pyles is a mem ber of the State committee. Roland S. Morris, first chief of the Democratic State committee, has ar ranged for a number of Democratic chieftains in central and western counties of the State to meet him at the Morris to State windmill next Thurs- Receive day for the purpose of dis- Thursdays cussing campaign maneu vers. The conference will be to straighten out insurrectos in the organization and to discuss fusion on legislative tickets, it being now rec ognized that there is no hope of effect ing fusion on congressional nomina tions. Morris insists that the reports of insurrections intheDemocratic party are imaginary and that things are going ahead very well, but there is manifested about tho headquarters an irritability that was not .present in 1912. In all probability Morris will name the chairman of the shokel com mittee for the campaign within a short time and the word will be passed along that the rank and file will be expected to contribute, not to let the burden rest on a few men. Notwithstanding Glfford Plnchot's declaration that Colonel Roosevelt would speak in the State campaign in behalf of the Wash ington party ticket Bull Moosers this fall, neither Dr. Wondering at J. H. Kreider, Pro the Outlook gresslve candidate for Congress and clerk in the department of the Auditor General, or Ira J. Mosey, the Bull Moose county chairman, was able to get any assurance that the Colonel would speak in the Eighteenth district or in Harrisburg, and thus far the managers of the party in this district have been unable to connect with anyone to guarantee the expenses of the campaign. The Washington party men have maintained a headquarters by their own contributions and have been looking for outside help to con duct their campaign. The candidates for the Legislature have thus far been financing their own campaigns. Although apparent harmony pre vailed at the Democratic county com mittee meeting in Mauch which resulted in the re-election of Albert B. Enbody, of Blakslee's Mauch Chunk, Carbon County is county's chairman, it was All Upset only the cheapest kind of harmony and existed merely on the surface. That there still exists a deep-seated hatred among the different elements in the Democratic party in Carbon county is not disputed by even the leaders themselves, and that no trouble was manifested at the party organ ization was little short of a miracle. Republican leaders, who claim they are in a position to know, sax that the Republican candidates will receive several hundred votes from Demo cratic sources. They say these Demo crats will never bow to Palmer's yoke and that they will show their resent ment at the November polls. The hatred between the warring Demo cratic factions Is too deep to smooth over until election, and probably ever. It is openly declared by Republican leaders that Lansford at least will give a big Republican majority this fall. They say that almost everybody there is dissatisfied and that they are not afraid to show their dissatisfaction.
