MONDAY EVENING. JULY 27
ALL HAIL THE OPIIION !
ALL hall the ophlon!
It's grand news that comes
from the Department of Agri
culture. The army worm is
doomed.
Right In tho midst, of his fiercest
ravages on the lawns and plants we
love best along comes the ophlon. like
General Villa at a Huerta lootfest to
Spoil the fun.
The ophion. It would appear, Is "lit
tle, but O my!" The Department of
Agriculture calls him an ichneumon
pnractlte and gives his full name as
ophlon purgatum. As the army worms
increase, so does the ophlon, until
finally the ophion gets the better of
the ruction, dines sumptuously off the
army worm and then starves to death.
It has been asked how the army
■worm got its name and expert opinion
seems to be because it travels in large
numbers and is just about as destruc
tive as an army of real soldiers. The
at my worm is the larva of a noctuid
moth; the common variety in the
northern States is leucania unipuneta.
It averages an Inch and a half long.
It does not circumnavigate, but sur
mounts obstacles with straightforward,
up and over progression. It climbs
■walls, but had rather climb cornstalks
or potato stems, and when Its trail lies
over vegetable surfaces it devours as
It goes, sparing little but stalks and
the veins of leaves. It leaves a lawn
looking like an overgrown dirt tennis
court. You fight it with sprays; you
shunt It off from a threatened area
with moats of oil. and then along
comes the ophlon and the "stuff is all
off" for the army worm.
WIPING OUT TRADE BALANCE
THE Underwood tariff has cost the
United States a loss for the year
ending June 30. 1914, of $182,-
416,540. The loss for June alone
amounts to $32,812,561.
These figures, amazingly large as
they are, are authentic. They are not
estimates. They can be proved by
anybody caring to verify them.
The new tariff law has been in
operation only since last October, and
the woolen schedule did not become
effective until January 1. Assuming
that the Increase io imports and the
decrease in exports during the pres
ent fiscal year equal the records for
June, the total loss to American in
dustry for the year ending June 30,
1915, will be nearly $400,000,000.
These statistics were compiled by
C. H. Brown, chairman Of the Na
tional Hosiery Manufacturers' legisla
tive committee in Washington. They
were taken from the governmental sta
tistics, which will be issued in detailed
form about August 10.
Mr. Brown shows thnt the total Im
ports for June, 1914, were $167,772,-
973 as against $131,245,877. This was
an increase of $26,527,096, or 22 per
cent.
The total exports for June, >1914,
■were $167,119,451 as against $163,-
404,916 In 1913, or a decrease of 4
per cent.
The excess of imports over exports
for June, 1914, was $658,522.
The excess of exports over Imports
for June, 1913, was $32,159,039.
Total Imports for the year ending
June 30, 1914, were $1,894,109,180 as
against $1,813,008,234 for 1913, show
ing an increase of $81,160,946.
Total exports for the year were
$2,364,626,555 as against a total of
2,465,884,149 for tho year ending June
30, 1913. This was a decrease of slOl,-
257,594, making the total loss of
American industries through Increase
in the amount of foreign goods con
sumed here and decrease in the
amount of domestic goods consumed
abroad, $182,418,540.
The balance of trade or excess of
exports over imports In favor of the
United States for the year ending June
30, 1913, was $652,875,915.
The balance of trade in favor of
the United States for the year ending
June 30, 1914, was only $470,457,375.
The great bulk of this shrinkage
has taken place in six months and an
other year of the operation of the
Underwood tariff law will wipe out our
enormous surplus entirely and turn
the balance of trade against us. "It
MONDAY EVENING. ' fTARRJSBURG TELEGRAPH JULY 27,1914.
j must be remembered," says Mr.
j Brown, "that the monthly Increases
of Imports are becoming larger and
'the monthly decreases of exports are
also progressively larger. Consequent
ly, we would probably be far too con
servative If we were to take the deficit
for June aa a criterion for the year
to come."
And In the face of all this we arc
I expected to make a great ado over the
prosperity the Underwood tariff has
brought us and to enthusiastically en
; dorse President Wilson when he terms
it "a great piece of constructive legis
lation. The attitude of the Adminis
tration and its friends would be laugll
j able were it not so pitifully tragic In
its effects.
FEWER FATALITIES
T Is gratifying to note that there has
I been a marked decrease in the
number of accidents in the an
thracite mines of Pennsylvania in
recent years, according to the figures
Just issued by the coal company.
The production of coal, with the
possible exceptions of the past few
months, lias been constantly increas
ing during the past decade and the
number of fatalities has been Just as j
constantly decreasing.
From 1881 to 1889, Inclusive, the |
number of tons of coal produced per i
fatal accident was 142,287. In the
following decade the number of tons (
dropped to 141,915, and from 1900 to i
1909, during which time mine rules,
were more strictly enforced and many
I safety devices and danger signs were j
I introduced, the number increased to
1 153,717. The average for the three
years 1910, 1911 and 1912 was 160,591.
The figures are from the latest annual
report of the Pennsylvania Depart
ment of Mines. '
Engineers say that the work of the
coal miner becomes more dangerous
as the operations grow more exten
sive and reach to greater depth, but
in spite of this fact the efforts of the
operators to promote safety In the
mines have succeeded to the extent of
holding level the fatalities per thou
sand employes. From 1881 to 1889,
inclusive, they were 4.45; from 1890
to 1899, inclusive, they were 4.27; from
1900 to 1909, Inclusive, they were
4.2 4; and the average for tho first
three years of this decade was 4.22.
The operators are proud of this
record, but unquestionably they can
go a step farther and begin to re
duce the fatalities more rapidly. The
advance of science makes this possi
ble and humanity demands it.
WANTING AND NEEDING
THE difference in the meaning of
the two words "needing" and
"wanting" Is well illustrated by
the disastrous experience of a
young Chicago couple who got into
trouble with the Federal authorities
because of the husband's efforts to
counterfeit ten-dollar gold certificates.
From her prison cell, the young
bride said to the reporters:
I'm here because I thought I
couldn't live on $65 a month. I had
been used to fine things, and when
my husband couldn't give them to
me nm afraid 1 showed my NELL*
for them. In his love for me he
tried to get, them. Now I know
better. I would live with my hus
band and be happy if we had only
$25 amonth. Oh, if 1 only had It to
do over again! He did it all to
please me. I wanted to wear nice
clothes. 1 wanted things too com
fortable. What a fool I've been!
I'm to blame.
This unfortunate young woman used
the word "need," whereas she really
meant that she WANTED the things
that her husband committed a crime
to get for her.
The baby cries, "I want It, I want
it," but the person of maturer judg
ment has learned to distinguish be
tween genuine needs and mere wants,
even amid the many temptations of
modern city life where a certain
glamor is cast over reckless extrava
gance that gives it a fascination for
those who can ill afford to follow In
the footsteps of the rich, either idle
or busy.
Consider for a moment the extrava
gances of the so-called "middle" and.
"upper" classes. Theaters, cafes and
amusements of all kinds welcome the
dweller in the city with open arms.
Luxurious apartments at fabulous
rentals house him while he supports
or helps to support a retinue of ser
vants clad In gold lace. He rides
where once he walked —and the mod
ern taxicab is a more costly luxury
than its horse-drawn predecessor.
Modern theater-going is no simple af
fair, financially.
In the larger cities the public's in
sistence upon the services of an agency
to which it pays 25 per cent, com
missions for providing theater tickets
adds greatly to the cost of theater at
tendance. Added to this is the "after
theater supper," which in many com
munities Is considered as one feature
of the theater party.
Many persons WANT such things,
but do they really NEED them?
WHEN YOU TAKE IT
WHEN you take your vacation
this year, take It with a grain
of common sense. Remem
ber that your employer, in
giving you the recreation time allotted,
i is to be taken Into consideration. He
is letting you get away from the grind
and sweat of the office or the shop
so that you will return an abler work
man, a clearer thinker, than when
you went awny. He is making an in
. vestment In sunshine and air for his
benefit as well as yours, and you
should not cheat him if you are foolish
enough to cheat yourself.
The man who comes homo from his
vacation more tired than when he
went away had better not have any
loafing time next year. So when you
take it this summer keep away from
the white lights that shine In the
health and moral ruining resorts at
night and get out into the sunlight
that will let you go back to your work
with a reddened nose and a liver that
makes you feel like a fighting cock.
1 EVENING CHAT 1
Comment by Girard In the Philadel
phia Public Ledger about the appro
priateness of the names chosen by
Pittsburgh people for some of their
great hotels, notably the William Penn
and Fort Pitt, calls to mind the fact
that Harrlsburg's hotels bear more
real names than is the rule In a city of
the size of Pennsylvania's capital. As
Girard says, Americans are prone to go
to Europe for the names of their
hotels, passing by tho rich store of
local significance, historic import or
individuality, if you choose to term
it such. In the early days Harrisburg
indulged in Black Horse, White Hall.
Swan, Seven Stars and other fancy
names for its taverns and like every
other place in the United States had a
Washington house, a name still borne
I>V one of its smaller Inns. However,
1: early had a State Capitol Hotel and
one of the most pretentious hostelrles
in this "place of taverns," as a noted
French traveler of 1798 called it, bore
that title. It stood where the federal
building is located and its name has
passed on to a newer hotel not far
away. The Senate and the Common
wealth are appropriate for hotels In a
city of the governmental importance
of Harrisburg and Bolton would mean
as much to the politicians, traveling
men and citizens of sixty years ago as
does the name Russ to folks of to-day
The Lochiel is remembered by the
elder men of politics all over Penn
sylvania and it has a local connection
because it was bestowed in honor of
the home of the clan which gave Penn
sylvania one of her famous men—
Cameron. Dauphin and Harris are
easily recognized as distinctive just as
the names Paxton and Mount Pleasant
arc- significant of a part of Harrisburg.
It is not hard to understand the use of
the name of a family noted In hotel
keeping, but it docs take some stretch
of imagination to hitch Columbus,
Plaza. National and the like to Har
risburg. The two Subway hotels can
be located without trouble and their
nomenclature understood, but when it
comes down to Metropolitan and its
ilk it looks as though names were be
ing borrowed.
Attaches of tho telegraph offices in
the. city are commencing to experience
the effect of a war scare in Eastern
Europe and to have the same troubles
with names that they suffered in the
Balkan wars. On Saturday several
men, apparently Servians, sent tele
grams and they kept the clerns busy
trying to figure out the names of the
consignees and the locations. The men
cculd not write legible English and
their pronunciations were not trans
latable. "We take the sound, that's
the best we can do," said one clerk
who had been struggling to get down
on paper the gutteral sounds of a pair
of Slavs. Some of the messages sent
yesterday were by Austriaris who ap
peared to be very desirous of news
about conditions in their home lands.
They did not want to go back for war
service, either.
A lot of thrifty people have been
benefited by the storm of Saturday,
illustrating again that it is an ill wind
that does nqf do someone good. It
happens that the high winds, the pelt
ing rain and the hail brought down
many apples, pears and other fruits
which are not exactly ripe but which
picking over will show have some
taste. Owners of fruit trees have been
raking up these windfalls, but in a
number of instances people have
aeked to be allowed to gather them.
One man living in Cumberland county
says that several bushels of apples and
pears taken from his property by
people who wanted to preserve them.
Ho was glad to get rid of the fruit and
they were happy to get it.
Members of the Country Club of
Harrisburg were given a shock on Sat
urday afternoon when lightning struck
an apple tree almost in tho midst of
a group of golfers. The crash of thun
der following was terrific and bits of
bark and apples from the trees were
scattered far and wide. Several well
known men were within a short dis
tance of the tree that was struck.
To kill a bird on the wins with a '
rifle Is some shooting and the averag/B
man is content to shoot ducks with
fowling pieces and other birds with
shotguns, but It Is mighty seldom that
anyone has ever heard of a bird being
hit by a golf ball while the bird was
in full flight. This happened at the
Lueknow links of the Country Club of
Harrisburg on Saturday during a four
ball match being played right after
the storm. At the time a number of
swallows were flying low and darting
about twenty feet from the ground.
One of the golfers happened to drive
a hard line ball and as the ball was
about 150 feet on its way it struck a
swallow fair, breaking Its neck and
wing. The bird dropped as does a
duck when shot.
Here is the story of a loon. The
loon lived in the neighborhood of an
island in a stream not far from
Du Bois. Two boys saw him in the
stream and were told not to shoot at j
him. They shot. They did not have
licenses to hunt and they got arrested
for that and for shooting a bird pro
tected by law. Meanwhile the bird
was sent to a taxidermist to be
mounted. Then it turned out that the
taxidermist was not licensed and he
Rot arrested. Now the bird is in the
office of the State Game Commission,
where it will trouble no one except the
owls and herons and other stuffed
birds which stare from the shelves and
form mute evidences of people's
arrests.
Monday mornings, as a, rule, are a
good bit like Friday afternoons in
summer time. Business slackens up on
Fridays and on Monday there is al
ways a dull time. To-day the city was
more than ordinarily quiet and it was
ascribed by most people to the fact
that the heat was great, that many
were out of town and that those who
were In town were not bothering very
much about anything. In some streets
which are generally marked by num
bers of people leas than half the usual
number were observed. Things were
slow up to noon.

BRriN MIXES IN
IILIM POLITICS
Chautauqua Lecturing Tours Give
Him Opportunity to Meet !
People, He Says
MAKES PREDICTIONS TOO
Morris Fusion Plans Causing
Trouble in Philadelphia—
Palmer Is Anxious
.. While William Jennings Bryan's
Chautauqua lectures are nonpartisan
and really worth going to hear, there
is not much doubt but that the per
ambulating Secretary of State is keep
ing his hand in politics wherever he
goes. This was strikingly Illustrated
yesterday when at the conclusion of
the Bryan touv t'o the Lykens Valley
the Democratic State headquarters
gave out a 700 word interview with
the secretary in which he said kind
things about the Democratic State
nominees and funny things about
Democratic congressmen.
Bryan dispelled doubts that his lec
turing tours had a political slant
when he started off by saying that
from his observation and meeting with
"many Democrats and other indepen
dent citizens" he thought Palmer and
McCormick a strong team. In addi
tion to this humorous statement the
secretary said that he thought- tho
Democrats would elect more con
gressmen than they have now from
Pennsylvania. To the dismay of the
McCormick gangsters, who are trying
to put over a fusion deal with the
Bull Moosers, Bryan gave the Wash
ington party a back hander when he
said that the fresent leaders of the
Progressives had received offices from
"predatory interests."
Tho Democratic State machine is
getting ready to Quit getting even with
li>an men and to settle down to a
hard fight. Even Mc-
Cormick is now said to
realize that trying to Ready to
wreak vengeance on Drop the
p o 111 leal enemies Is Contests
only making his task
harder and it is prob-
able that the committees selected to
guillotine the Old tiuardsmen In Phlia
aeiphia and to do some ripping in
Huntingdon county will be told to
torget what they were named to do.
Tho Palmer-McCormick leaguers in
Philadelphia are now said : be coun
selling dropping the fights because of
the iack ol interest displayed in the
campaign by men who can get out
votes.
The Philadelphia Record says about
some schemes of Morris: "Numerous
snags have already developed to the
plans of the Demo-
cratic State lea de r s
Pbiladelphians and tho Washington
Objecting to party to bring about
Morris' Plan fusion In the Tenth,
Seventeenth, Nine
teenth, and Twenty
first Legislative districts, and consider
able doubt is expressed as to the success
of the proposition. In several of these
sections the candidates named at the
primaries are vigorously objecting to
the suggestions that they withdraw,
while many Democratic workers are
likewise opposing fusion with the Bull
.Moose men, who are now running a
lively race with the Republicans in
attacking the Wilson Administration."
The present week promises to be a
lively one for all the political parties,,
despite the fact that the formal open
ing of the campaign
will not take place for
several weeks. The Busy Week
De m ocrats will be In Spite of
quite busy. Congress- Hot Weather
man Palmer and
Vance C. McCormick
are to make several addresses In the
central Bection of the State during the
latter part of the week. Chairman
Bromley is to appoint the special com
mittee of the Democratic city com
mittee. The new Palmer nnd McCor
mick League is expected to outline Its
plans, and the contest committee of
the State organization will take a defi
nite position in regard to the investi
gation of the Philadelphia contests.
The Republicans will have conferences
of leaders and Lewis and Pinchot will
continue their barn storming.
Democrats In this section who have
been indulging in hopes of fusion In
older to help McCormick were some
| what amazed yesterday
|to learn that Glfford
iPln c ho t, whom some Mr. Pinchot
I were willing to accept Jolts the
) for senator If the Bull Democracy
| Moosers took Candidate
McCormick for Gov
ernor, had rapped the pet dam bill.
This bill has been endorsed by the
President and Pinchot declares that
the scheme which is behind the bill
means a reversal of the conservation
policies of Roosevelt and Taft. Pinchot
also Jolted Democrats by going into
rock-ribbed Lehigh county and mak
ing speeches in which he whacked the
national administration.
John R. Halsey, one of the repre
sentative young Republicans of Lu
zerne county, was re-elected chairman
of the Luzerne county Re
publican committee wlth-
Ilalsey to out opposition at Wllkes-
Lcad In Barre on Saturday and
Luzerne will enter at once up'on
an energetic campaign.
Things are very much in
hir, favor owing to the disgruntled con
dition of Democratic factions over post
offices. The Democracy in Luzerne
county has never gotten together since
the primary election and It is said that
the legislative candidates are running
on their own hook, while Congressman
Casey never was popular with the
bosses. James Evans was re-elected
secretary.
Congressman A. Mitchell Palmer
undertook to straighten out the row in
the Democratic party In Huntingdon
county on Saturday, his
excuse for a visit being
the Democratic fest at Palmer in
Neelyton. which was Peat-e Hunt
attended by a small Saturday
crowd. Palmer's speech
was one of the most re
markable that he has delivered in a
long time, as he contended that pros
perity is with us and that everything
is tine and dandy. His remarks were
very much like the average prosperity
editorial of the Patriot, painful efforts
to fool people. While he was In the
rr.unty the congressman talked over
the split In the ranks and is said
to have erpressnd thn hope that the
contest before the State committee be
withdrawn. This, however, has not
been verified.

—Sixteen years made a difference in
men, especially when one ran for
president in 1596 and another is run
ning for governor in 1914.
■—McCormick was not as enthusias
tic in 1896 for Bryan as Bryan ap
pears to be for McCormick now.
—Let's see, did not Mr. Bryan make
some other predictions?
—Palmer and McCormick are going
to Clearfield, Center and Clinton
counties this week. They need to

high rates.
—Penrose, Crow and other Republi

—Morris' fusion plans did not get
much commendation from Bryan,
however.

AGAIN, I'LL FINE 'EM
By Win* Dinger
I see Mayor Royal has announced
Again, that he will fine
Offender* of the traffic laws
And bring them into line.
He's going to have a lot of work
If he makes rood his threat,
For cops, if they are on the Job,
A lot of folks will get.
Just let him send a man or two
To the outskirts of town,
And watch the autos, one by one,
Go speeding up and down.
Through "watchful waiting" they
should get
These law-breakers en masse—
If cars don't go too fast to catch
Their numbers as they pass.
UNEXPECTED PRESCRIPTION
Mr. Norton was a very patient man
and a long-suffering one. Mrs. Nor
ton provided a continuous flow of con
versation, and was known as a nag.
Finally, the nerves of the, \>oor man
gave way, and the physician was
called.
"He must have complete rest and
undisturbed sleep," said the doctor, as
he looked thoughtfully at the woman,
"I will send up some sleeping pow
ders which must be used exactly as
written on the box. Will you promise
to do this, madam, or must I order
him to the hospital?"
"Indeed, I promise," cried Mrs.
Norton, tearfully, "X wIM give them
just as you direct, doctor."
When the box came from the drug
glsts's, the label read:
"Sleeping powders, to be taken
night and morning—by Mrs. Norton."

THE COMMON SENSE OF IT
[Philadelphia Inquirer.]
There are three candidates for
United States Senator In Pennsylva
nia:
Boles Penrose. Republican.
A. Mitchell Palmer, free trade Dem
ocrat.
Gifford Pinchot, Flinnite, an Im
portation from New York.
There is one issue—that of restor
ing Pennsylvania to full prosperity
through a return to protective policies
and the defeat of Democratic experi
mentalists with the industries of the
State, or permitting the experimenting
to go on.
Penrose represents the policies
which lead to prosperity. Palmer is
the uncompromising representative of
Industry-smashing free-trade tariffs.
Pinchot represents nothing whatever
in this protection-free trade issue. He
has never been an Inhabitant of Penn
sylvania, is ignorant of the needs of
Pennsylvania, and his candidacy,
whether Intentional or not, is of ser
vice only as an aid to Palmer.
There are three candidates for gov
ernor:
Martin G. Brumbaugh, Republican.
Vance C. McCormick, Democratic
free trader.
Wiiliam Draper Lewis, Flinnite, a
dreamer and theorist with no practical
experience.
Brumbaugh stands for Republican
prosperity. He is a man of sterling
worth, of unimpeachable integrity
and of great executive ability. Mc-
Cormick is inseparably connected
with the Palmer machine, which, by
the expenditure of vast sums of money
In the counties, beat down the Ryan
candidacy for governor at the Demo
cratic primaries. Lewis, like Pinchot,
means nothing In this campaign ex
cept much needed assistance to the
Democrats.
Since it is prosperity or the con
tinued menace to prosperity that is to
