WHAT WILL HAPPEN
WHAT will happen along the
River Park following the lay
ing of the proposed water
main is well illustrated by the
results of the storm of last Saturday
on a number of more recently paved
streets of the city.
For Instance, in Reily street near
Front one of the large, handsome trees
that adorn that thoroughfare and
make It one of the most pleasant resi
dential sections of the West End was
hlown out by the roots and fell, badly
damaging a nearby property and nar
rowly escaping a vehicle that was
passing at the time.
Examination showed that in grading
for the paving of the street or in
relaying the water mains or sewers
previous to the paving several of the
Isrge roots of the tree had been sev
ered, leaving it without strength to
withstand the terrific gale which buf
fctted it during Saturday's heavy storm.
On Third street near Reily another
large tree fell for the same reason
and blocked trolley traffic for more
tnan an hour. This tree was also the
victim of carelessness of those, who
paved the street or who were forced
to <Jut its roots because of its inter
ference with the Improvements under
way.
This is exactly what will happen in
River Front Park. Careful as the
contractors may be, they will find It
Impossible to avoid cutting into the
roots of the gigantic shade trees that
r.cw cover almost the whole ground
space of the park. They have grown
for years and years and recent exca
vations have shown that they may
overlap and entwine in a way that
makes it impossible to cut into the
earth at any point without seriously
interfering with the root system of all
nearby trees. In many cases it will
be necessary to cut the tap roots of
these trees, as it was those which fell
during the storm of last Saturday, and
it is only reasonable to suppose that if
many of them escape immediate de
struction it will be only to be blown
down during the storms of coming
years. This will endanger lives and
property and slowly but surely denude
the River Front Park of the beautiful
trees that now make it a favorite rest
ing spot for thousands upon thousands
of our people who have not the means
or the opportunity to go to the more
distant recreation places the city has
provided.
The whole Idea of placing this water
main in the River Front Park is im
practical and uneconomical. It is
foolish to save at the spigot to lose at
the bung and those who arc respon
sible for the letting of this contract
must stand ready to shoulder the
blame that is certain to conic if they
do not find a way to make the change
that seems so desirable.
WILSON IX DESPERATE STRAITS
THE announcement of President
Wilson that he intends to come
into Pennsylvania this Fall in
an effort to prevent the loss of
his congressional and State tickets
here, is only an Illustration of the des
perate straits in which the Adminis
tration finds itself at this time.
The light and the propriety of the
President to do this is not questioned.
He has many precedents on which to
stand. Other Presidents have done
likewise nad no one can object to
President Wilson taking the stump jn
his own behalf and in the behalf of
his personally chosen candidates if he
so chooses. Indeed, the Republican
managers, if not the Progressives as
well, will no doubt welcome the pres
ence of the White House occupant at
this time. Pennsylvania, it must be
remembered, did not give President
Wilson a majority even at a time when
the Republican hosts In this State were
divided as never before and when It
might have been expected that the
Democrats would have found it an easy
matter to poll the bulk of the votes.
There has heen no change of senti
ment since 1912 In that respect. In
deed, Just the opposite is true. Presi
dent Wilson's policies are now more
unpopular in Pennsylvania than they
were when he enunciated them fol
lowing his nomination by the Balti
more convention. Then Pennsylva
nia* merely believed them to be op
sosed to their own best interests. To
WEDNESDAY EVENING HARRISBURG s£%&&& TELEGRAPH JULY 29, 1914.
•lay they know that their beliefs In
j this respect were true.
| The Democratic Administration has
! brought nothing to Pennsylvania but
i injury to business and idleness or
j partial Idleness to hundreds of thou
sands of men whose employment de
pends largely upon the protective
tariff that (lid so much to make Penn
sylvania the foremost industrial State
I of the Union.
; These men who declined to vote for
| President Wilson and many of the
Democratic congressional nominees in
1912 c-an scarcely be expected under
j these circumstances to change their
sentiment at this time, and the Presi
dent will find a hard job ahead of him
; in Pennsylvania.
j He has before him a harder task
| even than he had when he lost the
: State for the Presidency. His promises
1 of low prices following the enactment
: of the I'nderwood tariff law have not
been fulfilled and Pennsylvania has
! in no wise benefited from the Admin-
| istratlon at Washington during the
,• past two years. Instead, as has been
said, it has suffered tremendously. It
jis difficult to understand, therefore,
! how President Wilson hopes to do
! more than hearten his followers and
| his candidates In Pennsylvania during
the coming campaign. Adroit orator
though he be, he. will not be able to
| convince the people of this State that
the men who failed in two years will
be able to improve matters in two
years more, and the whole outlook is
for a tremendous outpouring of Re
j publican votes in November as a pro
test not only against the Democratic
Administration but against the Presi
dent's failure to make good his pre
vious promises and his unwarranted
interference in Pennsylvania's politics.
THE TWO SIDES OF IT
IT is gratifying to note a slight im
provement in the business of the
United States Steel Company for
the second quarter of this year.
Earnings of $22,956,414 showed an
increase of $2,505,426, with an in
crease of $2,463,215 in net and a pro
portionate gain in net income.
But it is a sad commentary on
business conditions to observe that to
meet regular dividend payments on
preferred and common shares It was
again necessary to encroach upon last
year's surplus to the extent of $5,-
159,237. This made a total of sll.-
448,881 taken from the 1913 undivided
surplus for dividend purposes.
THE COLONEL'S RETURN
REPUBLICANS the country over
see in the endorsement of a
Republican for Governor of
New York State by Colonel
Roosevelt a willingness on the part
of the former President to let the
Progressive party trail along as sec
ondary to the Republican party in
that State. This action on the part of
the Colonel is having its effect in
Pennsylvania, the report from Oyster
Bay that Roosevelt is bent on effect
ing a Junction of the Republican and
Progressive forces in this State in 1916
being taken very seriously in the
Flinn camp. The Progressive bosses
realize that their little dream of party
power is nearing its end and this ap
parent desertion on the part of
Colonel Roosevelt in New York State,
they see, is merely the first step to
ward the amalgamation of the rem
nant of the new party with the old.
Without Roosevelt there would
have been no Washington party. Not
even enthusiastic members of that
party took stock in the assertion that
a third party was necessary, that it
had to come and kindred statements
equally as ridiculous. It will be re
called that whenever anything like
this was said there was always a sup
plement promise that Colonel Roose
velt and his people would never sup
port, advocate, or say a kind word
for any person whose candidacy bore
the Republican tag. But, as events of
the past few days show, nothing like
this has come to pass. The Colonel
is after a Republican nomination for
his friend Hinmnn and apparently he
is willing that the Progressive party
become a tail to the Republican kite.
A few newspapers and self-ap
pointed bosses are still trying to de
lude the public into the belief that
the Progressive-Washington party
still remains as a factor. For in
stance, Glfford Pinchot is going over
Pennsylvania with a bland smile and
a handshake trying to rally voters to
his standard. But judging from the
receptions that he is getting, he no
doubt feels like folding his little tent
and returning to his home in Wash
ington, D. C.
There is no shrewder political fore
caster in the world than Colonel
Roosevelt and his latest move indi
cates his belief in the ultimate-su
premacy of the Republican party the
country over.
A PROPER BILL
CONGRESS will do a very proper
and very popular thing if it
passes the bill now before it
making George W. Goethals a
Major General of the United States
Army.
No man has done more in recent
years to increase the respect of the
country and the world at large for
the efficiency of our army than Colo
nel Goethals. The Panama Canal will
stand as a memorial to him long after
the marbles on a thousand battlefields
shall have been leveled to the dust.
His has been a great victory for peace
and the spreading of the benefits of
civilization and he should be rewarded
in the only way Congress can do so.
Colonel Goethal's promotion to
the rank of Major General would not
only bring him the honors so dear to
the heart of the military man, but
would give him a salary somewhat
commensurate with the services he
has rendered the country.
AX EVENING THOUGHT
We can sing away our cares
easier than we can reason them
away.—Beecher
I EVENING CHAT 1
Lew R. Palmer, who Is bossing the
State Department of Labor and Indus
try, is one of the leaders in the "safety
first" movement and has been making
a unique collection appropriate to his
life work. Palmer used to play one of
the ends on Princeton elevens years
ago and was for years the safety ex
pert of the great Jones & Laughlln
steel works. He does not believe In
dreaming about safety but he will go
around the end as well as buck the
corner to get results. He talks safety
arrangements and writes letters about
th<>m. One day he was impressed by
some pictures calling attention to the
necessity of providing for safety: Then
he saw a cartoon in a newspaper on
the subject. That set him thinking
and he began a safety propaganda
through pictures. Some of those he
inspired and some inspired him. He
has gathered some of the best cartoons
on the subject from newspapers. They
are originals and some are by noted
newspaper artists. The collection will
be framed and placed in the citadel of
"Safety First"—the Department of
Labor and Industry.
Speaking of safety recalls the inci
dent in the life of a Cumberland
county man last fall. This man went
hunting and chased a rabbit into a
drain, which was eoihposed of sewer
pipe and slanted up under a lawn. The
rabbit was a big, fat "bunny" and
looked tempting. The gunner was
much disappointed when the game
went up the drain and stooping down
poked around the pipe with his feun.
Then he pushed the barrel inside and
was planning to fire when the owner
of the land came along.
"Hey, what you going to do, blow
me up?" he shouted.
"No," said Nimrod. "There's a rab
bit up that drain and I'm going to get
him."
"How'll you get him when y»u shoot
him? Anyway, you'll likely blow a
hole in my sewer and you may blow
yourself up at this end. Cut it out."
The gunner remarked, "I never
thought of that" and quit.
Dr. William O. Miller, former state
senator from Bedford county, believes
in practicing what he preaches. Dr.
Miller, who for several years has been
the traveling tuberculosis lecturer of
the State Department of Health, has
his Harrisburg residence at 1859 Mar
ket street, at the corner of Nineteenth
street. Directly opposite his home a
pronounced depression is in Nineteenth
street, along the property of St. An
drew's Protestant Episcopal Church.
After every rain it is a puddle for days
and has worried the city Highway De
partment as much as it has the city
Hoard of Health. In order to keep,
down the available supply of mos
quitoes, however. Dr. Miller gets busy
with a couple of quarts of kerosene
after every shower and commits mos
quitocide by the wholesale.
The war scare in Europe has had a
curious reflex in Harrisburg news
paper offices the last few days. Ever
since the lireech between Austria and
Servia became acute the telephone bells
have heen ringing for attention on the
part of men who wanted the very
latest news. They would be satisfied
with nothing but the very latest and
some men were so eager for infor
mation that they visited the offices and
hung about the desks of the tele
graphic editors.
One man was so busy yesterday
hunting the latest information that he
did not leave an hour go by without
an inquiry.
"Say. what are you interested In tills
for?" was asked of him.
The man smiled slowly and replied
I'm selling short."
The stock market players were not
the only ones who kept close tabs on
the war situation. There were a num
ber of other men who were holding
their hands right on the wires, so to
speak, and they were as keen about
the very latest news as the others.
They were men who "play" the grain
markets. The spectacular rise of wheat
yesterday was marked by a good many
smiles of satisfaction around here,
farmers who had wheat to sell as well
as the ticker farmers who till the grain
markets being much interested.
James A. Stees, chief clerk of the
Department of Labor and Industry
will leave on Friday for Winnipeg to
attend the meeting of the Grand Lodge
of Knights of Pythias. He will repre
sent the State grand lodge in which
he has held high office. The meeting
will be one of the largest ever held.
Mr. Stees will spend some time in
Canadian province.
Judge W. N. Seibert, of the Perry-
Juniata district, who has been hold
ing court here this week, is sitting for
the first time and has already made
many friends among the attorneys.
The judge quickly mastered the pro
cedure of the Dauphin county court,
which is one of the most formal in the
State in some respects and his rulings
have been prompt and concisely ex
pressed.
The custom of wearing "dusters,"
as some people still call the light col
ored automobile garments, gives a
spectral effect to a car filled with peo
ple so attired in the evenings. Just
watch it on some street where there
is not a glnre of electric light. Along
comes a car with its headlights flarin ?
and then a glimmer of polished brass
work followed hy three, four or five
white clad shapes looking for all the
world like a car filled with ghosts.

REPUBLICANS PUN
WORK WITH GLEE
Everyone Pleased That Wilion Is
Conming Into Pennsylvania to
Make Explanations
CONGRESSMEN TO MEET
Report That Wilson Would Speak
in Steelton Makes Local
Leaders See Crimson
Republican congressmen who are
running for re-election and Republi
can candidates for congressional seats
are delighted with the announcement
that President Wilson will come into
Pennsylvania to tell why he wants
his slated ticket elected because they
realize that nothing Is going to help
the Republicans more. The coming
of the President did not cause much
of a flutter at the Democratic wind
mill and the local Democrats looked
the other way when one asked wheth
er Wilson was coming here. One
prominent leader got mad when asked
if he. did not think Steelton would be
a good place to send Wilson on his
tour.
Enthused over the outlook for Re
publican success and desirous of get
ting the best plans made, Congressman
C. E. Patton has called a conference
of all Republican congressional can
didates for next Tuesday at Washing
ton. Mr. Patton says the Pennsylvania
situation will be discussed from every
angle and plans will be laid for win
ning at least thirty of the thirty-six
seats in the November election, head
ing Republican members of the House
and probably some Republican sena
tors will take part in the conference.
It became known in Washington
yesterday that overtures have been
made to Pennsylvania Republican
leaders looking to an amalgamation
of the Republican and Progressive
forces in several of the districts. If
present plans work out, it Is said that
certain Washington party candidates
lor the House will withdraw from the
contest In favor of the Republican
nominees, thus making certain the
election of Republicans to succeed to
the seats now held by Democrats.
"That leading Republicans in Phila
delphia and Pennsylvania do not pro
pose to have the Republican ticket di
vided this Fall," says
a statement issued by
Republicans the Pennsylvania Pro-
Will Stand tectlve Union, "is in-
Tojjjetlier dlcated by a letter
written by William T.

DENIES "MASHING" CHARGE
To th e Editor of The Telegraph:
There are some corrections to be
made in the statements of charges
against George Eyster, who was ar
rested for singing in Front street park
at Herr street on Friday evening.
Eyster and another young man were
walking through the park when two
other young men, seated on a bench,
beckoned for them to Join their com-
pany. They had Just got seated and
began singing in a very low tone, when
the arrest was made by Park Officer
! George Greenabaum, who thought they
were four of the crowd he Is supposed
to have been troubled with and tried
to arrest them, but failed and got only
Eyster, who did not resist the arrest.
He was taken to the Mayor's office and
discharged until the hearing on Sat
urday afternoon. At the hearing It
was found that Eyster has been out of
the city for five weeks and had Just
returned on Wednesday morning, and
that he was not one of the crowd of
"would-be mashers" and other disor
derly characters, who are supposed
to have been congregating at that point
of the park, having been noisy, boister
ous, using bad language, insulting
women, disturbing the peace and other
disorderly annoyances. After the hear
ing he was discharged without any
charges against him.

HOW MTTGH?
To the Editor of The Telegraph:
As the Valley Railways Company is
asking this city for the use of addi
tional street space in Harrlsburg for
the sake of terminal facilities, please
allow me to ask what the city is to
receive in return. The Harrishurg
Railways Company pays the munici
pality 3 per cent, of gross receipts.
The Valley Railways Company pays a
trifling sum in polo and car license.
Its business is great and growing. We
are asked to grant the company space
for a third track in the Sfjuare and for
two tracks in Market street where no
tracks exist and where there is much
automobile traffic. Now what Is the
city going to be paid for the space?
This is a topic In which every taxpayer
ought to be interested. The time has
gone by when cities give use of streets
for nothing.
