TUESDAY EVENTNO, AUGI'ST I
FRONT STREET OPENING
CITY COMMISSIONER BOWMAN
has cut the Oordlan knot of the
park strip controversy along
North Front street by the simple
method of an ordinance providing for
a legal opening of the street in those
stretches between South and Maclay
streets not previously taken over by
the city. For several years there has
been a controversy between owners of
property ana the city regarding the
parking of the river front, and while
most of the property owners had
already conveyed the strip along the
shore line to the city for park pur
poses a few had not, and this fact has
had an Important bearing upon the
proposition to fill out the narrow
stretches with the material from the j
subways in Mulberry street.
Commissioner Bowman took the po
sition some days ago that until the
city had control of the strip it was
not good business to proceed with the
filling out of the narrow places. He
believes that through the legal open
ing of the street to the low water line
the difficulty will be solved and Com
missioner Taylor, head of the Depart
ment of Parks, agrees with him.
Thus the car of progress rolls on.
It is creditable to the foreigners who
are now in this country, and who have
grown weary of the frequent conflicts
Iti their home lands, that they are be
sieging the naturalization courts in the
initial steps to become American citi
zens. Only a few of the industrious
foreign colony at Steelton have left for
the foreign battlefields.
LAST GREAT WAR
NOTHING in the way of comment
since the beginning of the Euro- I
pean outbreak has so impressed
intelligent people as a statement
of Okuma. the premier of Japan, who
said on Saturday "that to bring about
a great peace a great war is sometimes
unavoidable." He believes the present
war may be the final one in the his
tory of the world, leading to a perma
nent and universal peace.
It was inevitable that the enormous
cost of armament and the maintenance
of huge armies by the several nations
Involved in a death struggle should re
sult in the tragedy that is now being
enacted In Europe.
Preparation for war was no assur
ance of peace and the overburdened
people of the tottering dynasties across
the sea must now bear the loss of
blood and treasure that, perchance,
their children and their children's
children shall enjoy the blessings of
enduring peace.
Friends of those Harrisburg tourists
in Europe who are scattered far and
wide need not be unduly alarmed. All
the advices indicate that while these
travelers are at some inconvenience,
they are not likely to suffer in any
serious way,
READY FOR THE FRAY
THOSE who have been asking Dr.
Brumbaugh all manner of ques
tions recently may be glad to
learn that the Republican can
didate for Governor and other candi
dates on the Republican State ticket
will deliver keynote addresses at the
meeting of the State committee at
Pittsburgh on August 26.
State Chairman William E. Crow,
who is working hard on the arrange
ments for the meeting, says that the
campaign will be started in a blaze of
glory, and that, following the Pitts
burgh meeting, there will be no let-up
until the election in November. A
gratifying development in the present
campaign from a Republican stand
point is the eagerness of many voters
who have returned to the party to
officially give notice of their change
of heart. Hardly a day passes during
which many electors do not call on
Chairman Crow and inform him that
they have renounced everything but
pure Republican principles, and
henceforth they want to be classed as
rock-ribbed followers of the old party.
This return of the men who strayed
away two years ago is the best possi
ble indication that the Republican
vote this year will compare with those
of the 1904 and 1908 presidential
years. The Republican State ticket
will receive practically the united sup
port of those opposed to the Wilson
{Administration, including not only all
TUESDAY EVENING, * HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH AUGUST 4. 1914.
Republicans who believe In protection
for home industries, but in addition
an army of dissatisfied Democrats.
There is no excuse for what Is trans
piring in Europe and the Oriental peo
ples who have been taught to regard
the great nations now In the midst of
war as the highest type of civilization
will be set back many years in their
own progress. The gigantic conflict
which now darkens the skies of all
Christendom will cast Its shadow over
the whole earth, and while the suffer
ing will be greater in some quarters
than in others, the results are bound
to be felt throughout the world.
FAMILY REUNIONS
TO the Litany should be added,
some wit has said, "And from
our relatives, good Lord, deliver
Us!" But judging from the nu
merous family reunions being held In
towns and parks within a fifty-mile
radius, of Harrisburg there are hun
dreds who do not hold to this opinion.
Blood is thicker than water, after
all. and there is something in the
handshake of a great-aunt or a forty
second cousin that cannot be felt In
the greeting of a mere friend, however
dear. The American family is the unit,
not of tyranny and monarchy, but of
good, old-fashioned democracy, and
nowhere is there such a spirit of good
will and helpfulness as at a gathering
of the clan of O'Harraghty, Schnitzen
blaum or just plain Jones.
So. If you get an invitation to put
your feet under the family table when
everybody is present from granddad
unto the third or the fourth gen
eration, pack your lunch basket and
Join the crowd.
While protesting their ilesire for
peace, practically all of the great
Powers of Europe are giving a fine ex
hibition of their pacific intentions by
fighting each other.
WATCH TTARRISRURG GROW
ERECTION of the $96,n00 office
building and warehouse by the
Emerson-Brant Ingham Company,
dealers in harvesting machinery,
and the proposed removal of its east
ern sales force from Wayneshoro to
this city shows that another firm has
seen the vast distribution possibilities
of Harrisburg.
One-fifth of the people of the L T nlted
States live within 300 miles of Harris
burg and this fact is of vast impor
tance to the man who must ship his
ecods. Furthermore, railroad lines
radiate from this city in seven different
directions. Doubtless one of the
factors which prompted the harvester
company to locate here is that at the
very doors of the manufacturer or dis
tributor in Central Pennsylvania is one
of the finest and richest agricultural
sections in the entire country.
The removal of the company's ware
houses and office force here means
that fully a hundred more workmen
with their families must locate here.
All of which makes us feel like saying:
WATCH HARRISBURG GROW!
It will require cool heads to main
tain the neutrality which the United
States must preserve in the present
situation in Europe, and it may be
proper to suggest that Secretary Bryan
might cancel a few of his Chautauqua
engagements and give attention to the
serious questions confronting this
nation.
CARE OF SHADE TREES
IT must be assumed that the indiffer
ence of Harrisburg's municipal au
thorities to the creation of a Shade
Tree Commission under the act of
1911 is due to a failure to appreciate
the importance of the work of such
a body rather than to any other cause.
The matter was before the councils
under the old government and has
been suggested repeatedly since the
change of our municipal system a year
ago, but nothing has been done.
Those who are able to speak with
authority regarding our shade trees
believe that the city will suffer unless
some definite action is taken soon.
Many trees are dying for want of care
and there has not beqn the replace
ment that is necessary to maintain
proper shade. Many of the finest trees
in the city have been almost destroyed
by tree butchers who pretend to know
how to trim the branches. Hacking
away at fine trees of years of growth
these butchers practically destroy the
foliage.
Such a commission in Philadelphia
during the last twelve months has
pruned, trimmed, sprayed and in other
ways safeguarded more than 50,000 of
the 127,301 placed under its care, with
the widespread comment and approval
of tree owners and of the general
public. Every complaint, after care
ful consideration and explanation, has
been dealt with to the ultimate satis
faction of the property owners. Not
one formal written complaint has been
filed with the commission. Every ef
fort was made so to frame the rules
as to permit the commission to dis
charge its duty without offending sus
ceptibilities or unnecessarily restricting
individual rights.
We believe that our City Council
must realize, after full consideration
of the matter, that a tree commission
is greatly needed In Harrisburg, and It
may be hoped that prompt action will
be taken to not only preserve the trees
we have, but increase their number.
Ol'R SEA COMMKKCj.;
EVERYBODY will approve of the
hope expressed yesterday by
Admiral Dewey that the gov
ernment will seize upon the
present opportunity to restore the
American flag to the position it once
held with respect to world commerce
on the high seas. With Europe at
war, the ocean commerce of the na
tion is practically at a standstill. The
steamer lanes are deserted. Big liners,
small steamers and sailing vessels-car
rying European flags are rushing back
to the safety of protected ports. At a
time when Europe is anxious for all
the supplies that can be poured In and
when the United States Is just as anx
ious to double or treble her exports,
there Is scarcely a bottom available at
any of the Atlantic seaboard ports.
We are threatened with a most seri
ous blockade of the seas. We have no
merchant marine, but the opportunity
is now rise for annexing a large num-
•>er of ships to the American flag. The
Panama Canal law, very fortunately,
permits of the American registry of
foreign ships wholly owned by Ameri
cans if they are used only in the for
eign trade or in the trade with the
Philippines and some of the numerous
islands of the Pacific ocean. Some
provisions of this law having been
questioned, President Wilson, very
wisely, agreed to use his powerful in
fluence in Congress to have a bill
passed permitting of the transfer or
purchase outright to the American
flag of merchant ships no matter where
their keels were laid. An immense
number of these ships will no doubt
take advantage of the statute which
Congress will probably have approved
before the end of the week.
The object of this law is not to favor
foreign shipbuildings, but to meet an
extraordinary condition and to render
a service, not only to our own coun
try but to the world at large, which
will in the end result in giving us a
merchant marine commensurate with
the extent of our commerce and to re
store permanently the American flag
to the steamer lines of the world. '
1 EVENING CHAT I
According to reports which are
reaching the Capitol, very few de
mands for hunters' license tag are be
ing made in the various county seats
oi the state, although at this time last
year I here was considerable stir among
hunters and demand for the tags.
The State Game Commission was for
tunate this year in getting its printing
done early so that there was no hold
up up like last year, but the demands
for licenses have been very small. The
fact that the federal law put the
shore'bird season out of business anil
that protection has been extended to
\arious migratory birds has rather
reduced interest in hunting and it is
i»ot expected that much demand for
licenses will be made until September
begins. Last year the act became
effective in September and some men
had to go into the field without the
tags, having been supplied with cer
tificates showing that they had paid
their licenses. It Is expected that the
issuance of hunters' licenses will go
over the 300, mark next time.
The approach of the season for
starting school has caused a rush to
file reports of financial operations of
districts at the Capitol and consequent
demand for payment of appropri
ations. No district can be paid unless
it files its report and the manner in
which they are being entered shows
that school directors are preparing for
the start of the sessions next month.
Some of the schools will open in rural
districts on August 24, but the bulk of
them will wait until September.
It's a matter of comment among
people in Steelton that comparatively
few of the subjects of Austria, with
the exception of the Germans from
the provinces of Austria proper and
the Magyars, appear to be caring a
bit what happens to the dual empire.
Most of them have served their time
in the army and those who have not
are not anxious to go back. Most of
those from the southern provinces are
of Slavic descent and their sympathies
are with the Servians, as it was two
years ago. With exception of a few
Dalmatians the southern provincials
are all sleeping without any worry
pver the fate of their conglomerate
fatherland.
The numerous rains and storms this
summer have kept down the county's
bill for fighting forest fires. Hardly
any tires worth talking about have
occurred and most of those that did
take place were so small that not
much expense was involved. Ordi
narily the forest tires cause large pay
ments by the counties, but this year
Dauphin and other counties are getting
oft very well.
Colonel Henry C. Demming was
talking the other evening about gold
in Pennsylvania and remarked that it
had been found, but not in paying
quantities, in two of the neighboring
counties of Dauphin—York and Leb
anon. The Lebanon gold is in the
Cornwall ore hills and is so scarce
that hardly SIO,OOO worth in a year
is mined. None has been found in
this county, although its ore beds have
been looked over carefully for traces
of the precious metals.
The construction of the new blast
furnace at Steelton is commencing to
attract attention, as it was in 1883
that the last of the furnaces was built
at the steel works town. The new
furnace will be a gigantic affair, as
the foundations are very deep and
large. It is expected that the foun
dations will be tinished before the end
of summer and the erection of the
stack proper will be pushed during the
fall and winter. The excavations can
be seen below the two lower furnaces.
"Send that money by wire? Nothing
doing."
This was the statement made to a
couple of bewildered foreigners at one
ol the telegraphic offices last night.
The foreigners conversed in some dia
lect sounding like the Balkans and
then offered a higher rate. The clerk
shook his head. Then it came out
that they wanted to get the money to
furnish means for a friend to get
away. "We can't send that money in
to get your friend out. Verstehe?
Savy? Comprehen?" replied the clerk.
The two foreigners finally gave it up
as a bad job. No one has yet found
the town to which they wanted to
send the cash.
Over a dozen Maryland cars were in
the city yesterday morning, being in
two parties of folks who stopped hero
over night. One party of sixteen came
from Cumberland and the other from
Baltimore. They had been at Gettys
burg to go over the battlefield and
then took a spin here to see the Capi
tol. The condition of the state high
ways was complimented by one man,
who said that they were in better
shape than he expected to find them.
Up at the State Highway Depart
ment they have not gotten used to the
compliments being given for the state
of the roads. For a long time the
staff of the department received so
many rocks and brickbats that it was
not preparer'Hjpr bouquets. Some of
the remarks Tfoout the condition of
roads almost impassable a month ago
are very gratifying.

REPUBLICAN CLUB
ENDORSES TICKET
Harrisburg Republicans Open Lo
cal Campaign by Adopting
Ringing Resolutions
LANCASTER STARTS OFF
Diller Ee-elected Chairman at
Meeting at Which Senator
Crow Is a Speaker
i At a rousing: meeting of the Harris
tjburg Republican Club at the North
| Second street clubhouse last night
resolutions were adopted by a unanl
■ mous vote endorsing the whole Re
; publican ticket from top to bottom and
• pledging the support of the influential
organization to its election.
The meeting was the opening of the
campaign in Harrisburg and the at
tendance of members was large and
enthusiastic. President Leßue Metz
ger called the attention of the mem
bers to the splendid ticket nominated
by the Republicans and to the oppor
tunity to show that the State Capital
supported the nominees. Daniel L.
Kiester, former member of the Legis
lature, then presented the resolutions
which were adopted after remarks by
City Chairman H. F. Oves, William
Pavord and Mr. Kiester.
The resolutions adopted were as
follows:
Resolved, That the Harrlsburg Re
publican Club pledges its support and
commends to the voters of the State
at the November election, the whole
Republican ticket. It is a ticket for
which no excuses need he made. It is
headed by Honorable Boise Penrose as
the candidate for United States Sena
tor. He represents the policy of pro
tection to American industries, under
which this grand old Keystone State
has prospered, and the overthrow of
which has created the industrial depres
sion through which we are now pass
ing; he stands for protection to Ameri
can citizens and American interests
wherever found: he believes in America
for Americans and opposes a spineless
policy of watchful waiting when
American lives are being sacrificed and
American property destroyed.
•Honorable A. S. Krelder. of Lebanon
county, our candidate for Congress, has
convinced the people of his district that
he is eminently capable to represent
them. His conscientious devotion to
duty and his persistence in obtaining
anything which benefits his district, as
shown by the additional appropriation
for enlarging the Harrisburg Post
Office, commends him as a Representa
tive who should be overwhelmingly re
elected.
Our candidate for Governor. Honor
able Martin G. Brumbaugh, by his re
markable record as a public educator,
has made a national as well as a State
reputation, and stands for the highest
ideals in public, as well as private life.
Honorable Frank McOlaln, as a legis
lator and Speaker of the House of Rep
resentatives, has already demonstrated
his entire lltness to acceptabl till the
oftlce of Lieutenant Governor, while
Honorable Henrv Houek. with his rug
ged honesty and his effervescent good
nature, has overwhelmingly shown to
the satisfaction of the entire State, his
ability to fill the oflice of Secretary of
Internal Affairs, to which he seeks re
election.
In our local ticket, the city of Har
risburg is no less fortunate. Augustus
Wildman served with a diligent atten
tion and ability as a member of the
last House of Representatives and de
serves re-election to the nexr Joshua
W. Swartz is a lawyer of ability and
a man of experience, and will c. edit
ably represent this district in this Leg
islature.
The whole ticket is made up of men
of honor and integrity, especially cap
able of filling the several offices for
which they are candidates.
But particularly do we commend to
the voters of the whole State, without
regard to party. Honorable George
Kunkel, President Judge of this coun
ty, as the nonpartisan candidate for
Judge of the Supreme Court. Judge
Kunkel is in the prime of vigorous life;
has made a wonderful and exceptional
record as a jurist: was the choice of
forty-eight of the sixty-seven counties
of the State over the other candidates;
and comes from a county which, al
though containing the capital, has
never had a representative on the Su
preme bench. His neighbors are proud
of him and he should be overwhelming
ly elected.
According to announcements just
made by the management of the
Grangers' picnic the big gathering at
Williams Grove is to have
a political significance far
greater than ever this Political
year. The standard bear- nays at
ers of the three big parties Grangers
are to make addresses and
the big days of 1911 and
1912 will be exceeded. The program
will include the following; Monday,
August 31, lecture by W. N. King, IT.
S. X., on Mexico with illustrations.
Tuesday will be Progressive day with
Gifford Pinchot and William Draper
Lewis as speakers. Wednesday will be
Democratic day with A. Mitchell Pal
mer, Vance C. McCormick and William
T. Creasy as speakers and Thursday
will be Republican day with Boies
Penrose and Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh
as the speakers. Lieutenant King will
give lectures in the evening. Dr. W.
C. Miller, of the State Department of
Health, will give several lectures on
sanitary subjects.
Lancaster's Republican county com
mittee stacted Its campaign work yes
terday by a big meeting and Samuel
W. Diller was elected
chairman for the ninth
Lancaster term. An entire new
Republicans set of rules was adopt-
Organlzing ed to conform with re
cent acts of assembly.
Committees were ap
pointed to prepare for and conduct the
coming campaign. Addresses \vere
! made by State Chairman William E.
Crow, of Uniontowti; Henry Houck,
Lebanon, candidate for Secretary of
Internal Affairs, and Frank B. Mc-
Clain, candidate for Lieutenant-gover
inor. All prophesied a Republican
j sweep in Pennsylvania this Fall. In
' referring to Senator Penrose, Chair
man Crow said:
"He Is pre-eminently fitted and qual
ified, and when re-elected will be able
to do more than any other man in
public lifel to revive Pennsylvania's
prostrate industries and re-establish
healthful and prosperous conditions
among the people."
Of Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh, candi
date for Governor, Chairman Crow
said:
"He is a tower of strength. His life
work, known to all, is the record upon
which he stands: a giant in stature
and mental proportions, of sterling
worth and rugged honesty ,of the com
mon people and familiar with their
needs and struggles. Self-made, he,
as Governor, will give to the State an
administration characterized by supe
rior ability and uncompromising
straightforwardness In his dealings
with the people."
The speaker also paid a high tribute
to Congressman W. W. Griest, Candi
date McClaln and the other State and'
local nominees of the party. A great
Republican victory was predicted.

UNCLE SAM AND THE FUTURE
(New York Sun)
Every encouragement to confidence
is afforded by the way in which the
American people and their economic
institutions have so far withstood the
shock and strain. The splendid exhi
bition of the underlying soundness and
fundamental strength of American
values which was made by Wall street,
until it was clear that opposition must
be offered to the pressure of European
liquidation of securities and Europe's
frenzied demand for gold, was a guar
antee that this country with a brave
and prudent management of Its af
fairs could weather the European
storm.
What we have to do now is to frame
new policies enforced by a tremen
dous emergency and put them into ef
fect in order that the United States
may perform the duty laid upon it to
save civilization from collapse. The
resources of the country must be con
served and used for every end except
the relief of European desperation.
There must be a readjustment of the
banking organization and of the pro
cesses of domestic exchange by cash
or check to enable business to adapt
itself to the circumstances of adversity.
The new Federal reserve banking ma
chinery should be put Into operation
as soon as possible to permit a larger
employment of the country's resources
for'our own people and to: the peace
ful nations which must io to us for
'goods and credit.
We must begin to acquire a mer
chant marine by purchase and trans
fer of registry. We must keep shops,
mills, factories and stores open and
traffic moving along the railroads. The
whole program of government must
bo revised along the lines of the ex
pedients resorted to in the last few
days and all the brains and courage
of the country must put themselves at
the service of the situation. There is
no doubt what the result will be.-Much
unnecessary hardship will be avoided.
Difficulties will be overcome and thero
will be assured a future of recovered
values in a world free fron. the mal
ady of militarism which has been an
agelong cancer gnawing at the vitals
of prosperity.

EDITORIAL COMMENT
Sensible people will be gratified that
the President has denied the state
ment attributed to him that the Euro
pean war would be a fine thing for
the United States and would help our
trade. As a matter of fact, with our
best' customers fighting instead of
buying, there is nothing to shout
about. The country is in good shape,
but the catastrophe in Europe Is cer
tainly not a benet. Philadelphia

THE I,AST WAR
By Wine Dinger
I see that it's predicted,
By those who study war.
That once this one Is finished
There'll not be any more.
They say It will be lengthy,
That much blood will be shed,
And heavy tolls exacted
In humans maimed and dead.
It seems a downright shame that
In this enlightened time
The nations should join hands In
What may be well-termed "crime."
But, If as prophets promise.
This war shall be tMe last
The world will see, perhaps 'tis
As well, the die Is cast.
And those who help to hasten
