THCRSDAY EVENING, JULY 30 A WAR IX EUROPE A WAR in Europe of the magni tude that now threatens would set the progress of the nations engaged in It back a hundred years. War at its best is sheer waste. We on this side of the Atlantic may sit quietly by and reap the Immediate benefits that would doubtless come to as as a result of hosltllitles abroad, but in the end humanity as a whole would be the great loser, and the world is, after all, a small place and we occupy i. corner of it What is for the good of humanity »s a whole is for our good. The op posite is also true. The good Ameri can will pray for peace, not only here but everywhere. This is not our quarrel and we can not understand the bitterness that is back of it. But this we do know, that if the decision to fight or settle the differences that exist In a peaceful way were put to a popular vote of all the countries Involved, the dove would perch high and the war eagle would flroop his head in obscurity. XO DICTATION IX TEXAS PENNSYLVANIANS will doubtless see in the repudiation of the Wil son candidate for Governor in Texas a forecast of what is going •o happen in this State next Novem ber. Texas declines to stand for dic tation. even though it come from such a high source as the White House ilself. There are signs that not only the Republicans but a large number of Democrats in Pennsylvania entertain similar sentiments. This defeat of the administration program In Texas is the most severe blew it has received since It became a power in national affairs. It is greater by far than the mere district defeat in New Jersey, where the presidential choice for Congress was overwhelm ingly beaten. The fact that Congress man Ball, who was the Wilson favorite for Governor, lost the nomination by over 50,000 votes ought to give those In authority at Washington pause for thought. And it is all the more sig nificant to note that while President Wilson's personally selected candidate had been prominent in State affairs for years, his successful opponent Is com paratively unknown. Of course the Democrats of Texas !n the coming convention will "en dorse" the national policies. But the fact remains that they are so much out of accord with the Wilson ad ministration that they would have nothing whatever to do with the Presi dent's candidate and wept out of their •way to show their disregard for his preferences. WASTE IN the making of coke in this coun try the beehive type of oven is generally used and the valuable by products, including the ammonia, valued at millions of dollars, are al iowed to escape. Calculated from the amount of coal used in these industries In the United States, the annual pro duction of ammonium sulphate should be approximately 640,000 tons, valued at 530.000.000. Actually only 35,000 tons, valued at $1,840,000 are being produced. One of the big independent steel companies is about to invest $3,000,- 000 in by-product coke ovens, and will place the ammonia on the mar ket for fertilizer purposes. It is also said that the United States Steel Corporation, after sending j its engineers abroad more than a year ago to investigate coke-making, has, as a result, decided gradually to do away with its old-fashioned, wasteful beehive coke ovens and save the by products. It is true of some American woolen mills that what goes down the river in waste would constitute a handsome profit for the same mill in a foreign country. But American manufactur ers are waking up to the folly of such waste. The utilization of cottonseed and cottonseed oil, until recent years a waste product of the cotton crop, is now valued in the United States alone at $50,000,000 a year. The Standard Oil Company Is a marvel of scientic management In the matter of waste prevention. Elbert Hubbard enthusiastically says of that .puich-discussed corporation: "It has THURSDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH JULY 30, 1914. stopped the leaks, taken up the eco nomic slack, reduced friction and ren dered a service to the world that Is the nearest approach to business per fection of any example that can be named." Briefly summarized, some of the principal ways in which waste is now being eliminated on a large scale In clude these: Water powers are being utilized to a greater extent. Timber-cutting In the national for ests Is carefully controlled. Resources of coal are being pro tected, although millions in minerals are still being wasted, the National Bureau of Mines reports. Steel scrap is being converted into Bessemer. There are laws to insure the health and safety of workmen. We are making successful war on disease. We are introducing more practical ideas in education, fitting young peo ple to earn an honorable living along chosen lines. We are installing a new reserve bank and currency system by which the supply of money will expand and contract in accordance with the de mands of business, so that it will ebb and flow between the sections where there is surplus and the places where there Is scarcity, its friends believe, and will prevent panics by being al ways available where there is legiti mate need. The elimination of waste from our personal affairs is equally important. A Carlisle patriot pleads with the public to elect Palmer and McCormick. Wonder what Federal Job he wants. FREEDOM OF THOUGHT NOTHING is ever accomplished by sticking in a rut, except to make the rut deeper. Freedom of thought has preceded every great discovery or invention in the world's history. We are prone to be narrow, but it is only by widening our 'scope of vision that we progress. For forty years the osteopaths and the medical doctors have been at war. Notwithstanding that the art of heal ing is necessarily a progressive rather than a fixed science, the medical au thorities have been slow to admit that there is any virtue in the compara tively new school. Now 'comes the Medical World, a well known journal, advising its readers that the mem bers of the two schools ought to co operate one with the other. Whether we are believers in osteo pathy or not we must all feel more confidence In the man we call in to treat us when we are ill if we believe he is willing to do anything for us that will be for our benefit, regardless of whether the treatment falls inside or outside the generally accepted limits of his own individual school. Every one will agree with the Medi cal World that it is right when it says: Whenever you have a patient that you think needs osteopathic treat ment. we thtnk it very proper for you to ask an osteopath to see the patient with vou, and give the me chanical treatment that you and he think proper. On the other hand, when an osteopath should ask you to see one of his patients with view to giving medical treatment, we think it very fitting that you should respond and give such treatment. The World'refers to the "prejudices of some physicians" of both schools. There ought not to be prejudices in the profession of men who are dealing with life and death. The sooner all of them learn that the ailing public wants to be cured and doesn't care a hang about the means, the sooner will the science of healing throw off the limitations that have confined men to the ruts that have made some of them In all schools narrower than we like to think of practitioners in a profes sion that has done so much and made so many personal sacrifices for man kind. The price of foodstuffs is coming down, say our Democratic friends, which recalls the fact that wheat Jumped seven cents a bushel to-day. TENNIS TOURNAMENT JUST how popular the municipal tennis courts at Reservoir and the other city parks have grown dur , ing the last five years is seen in the hundreds of entries in this year's annual tennis tournament. Perhaps no investment the .city has ever made has been productive of bet ter results than the money put into the city courts. Daily scores of men, women and children spend an hour or more on the courts and come away just so much better physically for the splendid exercise that the sport af fords. The girls of the city have heen especially benefited, for tennis Is a game in which women as well as men excel. Few girls can swim and not many have the means to play golf, but hundreds are able to play and do play a rattling game with the racket. A jaunt to Reservoir will convince the Interested observer that there are scores of girls In this city who owe their rosy pheeks and their glowing strength to the advantages of the mu nicipal courts. Now that the sport has become so widely followed here plans have been drawn for a tennis clubhouse at Res ervoir, which, with Its shower baths and locker facilities, will doubtless make the game still more popular. And with the increase in the num bers who frequent the courts it is fast becoming necessary that additional ones be built. Love may laugh at locksmiths but not so the late staving lover who has forgotten his latch-key. I-ooks as though Bryan's hack hair is really the only place left for the dove of peace. Some times we envy the man with the bale of stock securities. But not just now, thank you. AN EVENING THOUGHT "God never would send you the darkness. If He felt you could bear the light; But you would not cling to His guiding hand If the way were always bright; And you would not care to walk by faith. Could you always walk by sight." 1 EVENING CHAT I The Capitol Park extension district has become the happy quoltlng ground for a good section of Harrlsburg. As fast as Father Penn's commission turns over properties to the Department of Public Grounds and Buildings the houses are torn down ajid the lots tilled up to street level with good, cfean dirt. That makes an elegant surface tor games and while tne lots secured by the State are not so located that baseball diamonds can be laid out there is hope, and meanwhile marble games, "catty," mumbledepeg and quoits flourish. The other evening twelve games of quoits, each with its "gallery." were in progress within a short distance of the Mount Vernon truck house. Farther over in the "ward" some boys were playing leap frog. More quoit games were in prog ress In another section, while fronting on State street somo enterprising cltl »ns have placed benches on the va cant lots where they gather in the evening and enjoy the air, while the kids play around without danger as would menace them in the streets. The best part about it is that there are prospects that Eighth ward people will enjoy the playgrounds for many months, as the commission is not to complete its task for some timo j to come, and then it will be some time until the Commonwealth decides how the park extension is to be laid out. So meanwhile playgrounds have been informally laid out and the old Eighth ward is enjoying itself preparatory to passing o>it. Quoits, however, appear to hold the fort. Incidentally, while on the subject of the Eighth ward it might be stated that h junk dealer who keeps talis on the distribution of the building ma tt rials from the buildings demolished when the State takes the properties over says that for twenty miles around people have been buying door and win dow frames and other things. Farm ers, it seems, are good buyers, and close ones at that. Some contractors who have buildings about which they are not particular are also hunting the odds and ends. Houses have been built in Middletown. Llnglestown, Rockville, Enola and Marysville out of stuff taken from buildings in the extension. Residents of the eastern end of the city enjoyed a view of" a rainbow when there was no rainfall in their neigh borhood yesterday. During the after noon the sky was overcast to the east and there were evidences that down the Lebanon Valley the storm king was at work, but no rain fell within miles of the city. To the surprise of thou sands a great rainbow appeared in the eastern sky shortly after 5 o'clock and shone in splendor for some time. It was in sight against masses of storm clouds and white "bull heads" which were touched with pink as the sunset began. W. L. Ferguson, the head of the Wayne County Agricultural Society for a quarter of a century and who died yesterday, was a prominent figure at agricultural meetings. He was much interested in fruit culture and would travel miles to look at a farm. He was great on saving and at meetings here he used to interest the grangers by advice on thrift. "Don't you have band concerts any more In Harrlsburg?" was the com ment of a viistor to the city yesterday. This man recalled a few years ago visits to Reservoir Park and other places where band concerts were given during the summer and remarking on the large number of people who had attended them, expressing surprise that so popular a feature had been abandoned. Many smaller towns have concerts and Harrisburg, which has close to a dozen bands, does not have ahy of a really public character such as were given a few years ago. "Some of these Harrisburg kids can earn a bale of money if they will go out and dig good red fishing worms," said an old fisherman last evening. "I like to go fishing and I'm blessed if I know where I can buy worms. There are a few good places where I can obtain some bait, stonerollers and minnows, but you can't buy worms. I should think that if sopne kids would dig worms and get some sporting goods man to sell them they could earn good money. The boys would have to keep up the supply, but the> would gain a profit and so would the sporting goods man, for he would sell hooks." Auditor General Powell has received from a resident of Newport, Pa., a postal card bearing this appeal: "Please get a la"W passed that all township supervisors and the board members and their men shall have the power to arrest all motor bicycles and automobiles and garage owners when they break the laws or make nuisances of noises, smokes, smells, etc. And also giving this right to Captain Groome's mounted state police. Sat urdays and Sundays are a h—l on earth In Newport, Pa., and on the Newport and Bristol roads, and parlor things and paintings are being ruined." I WELL KNOWN PEOPLE 1 —Dr. William Alvah Stewart, of Pittsburgh, moinher of the State Med ical Bureau, has gone to Maine to spend August. —Judge Aaron Swartz, of Montgom ery county, is recovering his health In New Hampshire. —George E. Tener. brother of the Governor, spends the hot months along the North Shore of Massachusetts. —t). J. Dcßousse. assistant to Presi dent Rea. has offered a silver cup for swimmers at the place where he spendu the summers. —W. C. Evans. Pittsburgh chemist, thought there was gasoline in a sewer and fearing explosions went into the sewer to insport it. He was not hurt. —Edward B. Smith, the Phlladel. phla banker, has gone to Europe. —W. Freeland Kendrlck, receiver of taxes of Philadelphia, led the Phila delphia Shriners to the observance of "mother-in-law" day on Long Island. THE PRESIDENT'S TOUIt (Pittsburgh Gazette-Times) It is easy to understand the dis taste with which the President views his prospective stumping tour. A man of extreme sensitiveness, he realizes the virtual confession that is implied in going upon the defensive, but he realizes also what it would mean to have a Republican House of Repre sentatives In the Sixty-fourth Con gress. So he is inclined to put his pride in his pocket and respond to the Macedonian cry of his political associates. Wherever President Wilson goes he will see Democratic disorganization, discord and depression. He will be told that his tariff law has been weighed and found wanting. He will find the voters turning from the party of broken promises to the party of performance and prosperity. Repub licans have nothing to fear from the President's taking the stump. This practical admission that their friends, the enemy, have had to call on the commander-in-chief and all the re serves in a last desperate endeavor to avoid defeat will not be without its effect. The people will be glad to hear the President speak. There are a good many things they would like to have him explain and for which they are preparing to call his admin istration to account when they cast their ballots in the Fall. Anyway, the European war may glv& us some more new styles of head gear. PENROSE 10 SHOW OPJYPOCRITES Will Expose the Dickering and Poiiticating Behind Post Office Appointments PROTESTS POURING IN Morris Has Another Receiving Day at the Democratic State Windmill Today Senator Boies Penrose yesterday an nounced that he proposed to let light In on the machinations of the coterie of bosses that have been using federal patronage to continue their domination of Democratic polljics In Pennsylvania and who are candidates for high offices this fall. The senator stated that for somo time he had been making in vestigations and that the hearing to morrow on the York county post offices would be the curtain raiser on some conditions that would "make the state blush." Apparently, the senator has some Information which will lie any thing but pleasing to Palmer and McCormick, to whom Wilson has turned over the disposal of patronage In Pennsylvania. The Philadelphia Ledger says about the matter to-day: "Senator Penrose Is planning a war of retaliation on the Democrats who have been attacking him because thoy hold him responsible for the hold-up of post office appointments in Penn sylvania. "Disclosure of scandals in connec tion with the tilling of postmasterships by the Democrats in the York-Adams and other congressional districts was promised by the senator yesterday upon his return to the city from New York. He asserted that an investi gation had been Instituted by a sena torial committee and that the llrst hearings would be held before the committee to-morrow. The York- Adams cases will come before the com mittee to-morrow, but Senator Penrose" Insisted that a further Inquiry into the situation as to the appointment of postmasters, under the direction of his opponent for the senatorship, Repre sentative A. Mitchell Palmer, would result in revelations that would cause the state to blush. "Senator Penrose welcomed the an nounced visit of President Wilson to Pennsylvania in the interest of the Palmer-McCormick ticket. Ho said the business depression was becoming so serious that the Democratic party is doomed to defeat and that the Re publicans would certainly win in No vember." A desperate effort on the part of the Democratic machine to start off the preliminary campaign went to smash in Clearfield county yesterday afternoon! Clearfield Clearfield is a county Democrats where the machine has Turn Trick mighty few friends and where the anti-machine Democrats defeated the man sponsored by Palmer and McCor mick for chairman and then denounced the activities of postmasters in politics. In order to get the Clearfield organ ization in a hole and possibly give an excuse for some "ripping" and at the same time to fool the people into be lieving that Clearfield was all right for the machine ticket, the Palmer- McCormick managers conceived the idea of a visit. The Democratic county chairman was right on the job, how ever, and turned out with a lot of his friends. They awaited McCormick at the station, escorted him to his hotel, shook hands, allowed him to eat sup per in peace and then went around to hear his speech. They did not applaud and they did not make any promises. They just answered "Present." Palmer did not go and "Farmer" Creasy, with whose record Clearfield is familiar, and W. M. McNair, who has to go aiong, turned up last night without any excitement being created. According to the reports of the meeting of the Pike county Democratic committee on Monday, the resolution endorsing the national admlnistra tio n , Con gressman Palmer and Palmer Has the machine ticket were Close Call adopted by a majority in Pike, Too of just one vote. Pike is in Palmer's home dis trict and some of the men who haV6 been active In Democratic affairs are openly arrayed against Palmer. Their action in voting against the Palmer resolutions Is regarded as highly sig nificant. The Palmer men are alarmed over the opposition that has developed and have notified him that unless something is done speedily he will be badly beaten in Pike by Senator Pen rose. Pinchot will not be a factor of importance in the campaign. There has never been any enthusiasm, but much resentment, over his candidacy, and even his supporters admit that he wlli run a poor third in the senatorial race. Senator Penrose yesterday made characteristic, comment upon the re port that President Wilson is coming intoPennsylvaniato make campaign specchea In the Penrose interest of the Palmer- Welcomcs McCormick ticket. AVoodrow When asked what effect the contemplated visit of President Wilson would have upon the political situation Sen ator Penrose replied: "I think Wilson's administration is growing every day in unpopularity. We should welcome his coming. I can not see how his presence in Pennsyl vania will add any votes to the Dem ocracy. which already is defeated in this State." "No more than four or five Demo cratic congressmen will be elected in Pennsylvania next fall," predicted Chester W. Hill, secre tary of the Pennsylvania Democratic Protective Union, yester- Clianccs are day. Very Scant He explained that the union is not engaged in forming a Brumbaugh committee, as might have been in ferred from the fact that a letter from William T. Tilden, declining member ship on such a committee, had been Issued from the union headquarters. Mr. Hill said this letter had been handed to him by Mr. Tilden, and he thought It ought to be published. "This association is for the whole ticket," Mr. Hill said. "We are as strongly for Brumbaugh as we are for Penrose. The Republican ticket Is what must be considered. We want congressmen elected. The manufac turers of the SJate want the Repub lican party returned to power. This fact Is evidenced In the hundreds of letters I receive emphasizing the de pression -of business throughout the whole State." State Chairman Roland S. Morris had another "receiving day" at the Democratic State windmill to-day, but the attendance was not large. Probably the weather Interfered. There Receiving were present to tell their Day Slimly troubles to the chairman, Attended who is holder of the rub ber stamp on patronage, ~a number of men from various coun ties, but no top-liners. Colonel "Bill" Fairman, who did not become minister to Panama or consul at Uppernavlk, came in with his usual array of color In clothes and there were some men here from the slate, coal and other regions wanting to know how soon business will stilrt up. Mr. Morris will be here again next week. He has not had much to say lately about fusion. I POLITICAL SIDELIGHTS 1 —Those Clearfield Democrats are a foxy lot. —Dr. Hoskins appears to have de cided to let the Ryan Democrats make ] the fight in Philadelphia. —Allegheny county Democratic com mitteemen are reported to be discour aged over the outlook and not desir ing to work. —Those revenue jobs are to be given out as soon as the preliminaries can he arranged. McCormick will decide who is to be named for this section. —The meeting of the Republican League of Clubs will be held In Wilkes- Barre. —Maybe the news from Pike kept Palmer from going to Clearfield. —McCormick and McNair will doubtless enjoy traveling together this week. —The awkward squad of the Cen tral Democratic Club will start drilling for the campaign as soon as the nights become cool. —Senator Penrose says he Is glad Wilson is coming to Pennsylvania, but no such sentiments are coming from the windmill. —The Democratic city committee is going to have another meeting soon. Lyharger must have written another speech. —Jim Blakslee says he is going to work for Democratic success regard less of criticism. People don't criti cise gnats as a rule. —Colonel "Bill" Fairman is still a private citizen In spite of visits to the windmill. —McCormick is In the enemy's coun try this week and the weather has turned very cool. —J. M. Hill wants the whole Phila delphia Democratic organization elected by the people thrown out as not "trust worthy." Sounds like a Patriot argu ment. —Anyway Mr. Morris is adding something to the summer in Harris burg. —Raymond MacNellle Is being boomed for the vacant Judgeship In Philadelphia.

COOK PRESIDENT WILSON FACING CER TAIN DEFEAT [From the Public Ledger.] The President is morally bound to go into the congressional campaign and fight for the men who have voted as he has ordered. It would be the height of treachery to desert those who have submitted their wills to his for the last seventeen months and have made it possible for him to carry out his program. This has been a per sonal Administration thus far, domi nated by one man more effectively than has been the case at any pre vious time in the history of the Re public. So the congressional cam paign is not co much a campaign for the indorsement of Democracy, but a campaign to secure the approval of the plans and> purposes of President Wilson. » He is in power because the opposi tion was divided. The large majority in the House of Representatives is there for the same reason. Democrats were elected two years ago in districts in which they never before dreamed of success. It is these accidental Con gressmen who have made it easy for the President to impose his will on the national legislature. Few of them expect to bo re-elected this year un less they can make some arrangement for keeping the opposition divided. It is the duty of the President to stand by them and to ask that their districts make it possible for him to continue to control the situation at Washing ton.
