THE PRESIDENT'S SORROW
PRESIDENT WILSON will have
the heartfelt sympathy of all the
people In the critical illness of
Mrs. Wilson, whose life hangs
upon a slender thread. All questions
of an official character and all differ
ences of opinion regarding the atti
tude of the administration on national
problems fade from the public mind
In the face of the great personal sor
row which is now burdening the Presi
dent's heart.
Mrp. Wilson has been a helpmate in
all the years of the President's edu
cational and offlclai career and the
fact that she has been seriously ill for
many weeks without the knowledge of
the public arouses in an even greater
degree the sympathy of the people for
the head of the nation.
Out of the midst of his trouble he
has tendered to the warring nations of
Europe the good offices of the United
States in the hope of bringing about a
peaceful settlement of the unfortunate
controversies which have led to the
frightful arbitrament of arms. While
peace seems far away at the present
moment, the very enormity of the
conflict and its widespread character
must force to a conclusion very soon
the tragedy that is now shocking the
world.
Since this nation is at peace with
all other nations the channels of
American influence are ever widening,
but as the tension is great even a
ellght mistake of diplomacy or a seri
ous error of judgment might involve
the United States. The President's
tender of mediation is an earnest to
all the warring Powers of the good
Intentions of this Republic and must
have its effect upon the world.
Those American tourists re
turn home on the transports of the
United States will have a better appre
ciation hereafter of the life of a soldier
in time of war.
WAR .VXD FOOD PRICES
HARRISBURG is already begin
ning to pay the price of war in
Europe, we are given to under
stand. Prices of certain com
modities imported from the war zone
have gone up and others are to follow,
dealers announce.
It is difficult, indeed, to see why
there should be any advance in prices
Just now. The importer who seizes
•war news as an excuse for boosting the
price of goods in stock purchased by
him at peace prices is taking an unfair
end unjustifiable advantage of his cus
tomer. To be sure, when once the
present stocks are exhausted and re
plenished only under difficulty and at
the risk of confiscation on the high
peas, It is natural that abnormally
high prices should be asked for im
ported cheese, beers, wines, etc., but
there can be no reasonable excuse for
increase in the cost of foodstuffs of
our own production.
Provisions of all kinds are contra
band of war. We cannot ship our
Burplus abroad now without risk of
losing it. The consequence will be
that we will have more than the ordi
nary supply of food at home. This, by
the law of supply aud demand, ought
to bring prices down instead of boost
ing them.
When peace has been restored it is
not unlikely that Europe will demand
Immense quantities of provisions from
us. Then we may expect our grocery
bills to go up. But not now.
So the Democratic State committee is
going to make an "endless chain" of its
political literature. So be it, but what
the average Democratic worker is more
Interested in is the color of the litera
ture.
SAFETY FOR AMERICANS
AMERICANS know no political
differences when the safety or
interests of their countrymen
are at stake. It is gratifying
tc note the unanimity of action in
Congress with respect to the passage
of legislation looking toward the
bringing home of Americans stranded
In the war zone of Europe. Demo
crats and Republicans alike Joined
hands in rushing through the bill ap
propriating $2,500,000 for the neces
sary relief fund, and no doubt more
will be set aside if this sum is not
sufficient.
Fifty thousand Americans are to be
brought back and it is safe to predict
THURSDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH AUGUST 6, 1914.
that all will return In safety. There la
no 111-feeling In Europe toward the
Americans there. On the other hand,
the countries at war with each other
ought to be. and no doubt are, anxious
te preserve the neutrality of the
United States. The powerful resources
and Immense navy of this country
would be big factors in deciding any
conflict in which we might engage as
an ally and those who are at war
have no desire to arouse American lro.
Certain Democratic newspapers are
endeavoring to get some comfort out of
a prospective increase of European de
mand for our foodstuffs and manufac
tured goods as a result of the war.
They seem to lose sight entirely of the
more serious effect upon the consumers
of the United States. It is certain that
there can be no increase of prices of
foodstuffs abroad without a corre
sponding increase in this country.
THRIFT COMMITTEES
THERE is published in Chicago
by the American Society for
Thrift a bulletin showing the
need in this country for thrift
and economy among all classes. It is
demonstrated by the investigations of
this association that the greatest of
all evils in tho United States is the
extravagance of the people. The pur
pose of the society is to promote thrift
by inquiry, education and discussion,
and the encouragement of thrift so
cieties in every community through
out the country. Here is the way the
society summarizes the job for the
thrift committees:
1. Urge school gardening to con
tinue through tile summer months,
pupils to get the profits of their
own crops.
2. Urge definite attention to
thrift in the classrooms in the pub
lic schools.
3. Urge that school savings
banks be provided for the earnings
of pupils rather than for money
they can beg from others.
4. Encourage simplicity In dress
in the public schools, particularly
at commencement time.
5. Systematize the investigation
of goods that are sold by local
merchants and prevent adultera
tion, short weights and short meas
ure.
6. Encourage home gardens by
prizes and contests, not alone fnr
flowers and beauty, but best re
sults In growing fresh vegetables
for their tables.
7. Encourage canning of fruits
and vegetables by having it sys
tematically taught to the girls in
the schools. This has been fount!
the surest way to give the house
wives new ideas and better stand
ards.
8. Encourage buying of homes
and the means therefor.
9. Encourage personal market
ing and cash buying, hold meet
ings of retailers and their cus
tomers to illuminate the added cost
of hand-to-mouth, eleventh-hour
ordering by telephone, unreason
able demands for deliveries, etc.
10. Aid and encourage saving,
vacation funds and also Thrift
clubs in big establishments under
unquestionable security.
11. Expose wildcat investment
schemes that attempt to exchange
lithographed certificates for real
money.
12. Study the merit of co-opera
tive distribution on the Rochdale
. plan for local conditions and ex
pose "fake" co-operative schemes.
Harrisburg has already many co
operative savings associations and
these are teaching the wholesome les
sons of thrift.
Scores of buildings in the Capitol
Park extension district have been taken
over by the Commonwealth, but owing I
to rental arrangements with the origi
nal owners and the use of several prop
erties for State purposes, these build
ings will not be removed until next
spring. But holes are being made in
the park area right along, and with the
adjournment of the Legislature of 1913
will probably come preparations for
the final landscape treatment contem
plated In the park extension move
ment.
A RIVER CARNIVAL
ALL who have read the summary
of the important public work of
the several departments of the
muncipal government this year,
as presented in the Telegraph yester
day, must be impressed with the sub
stantial progress of Harrisburg. Only
this week a prominent Oklahoma
visitor expressed his astonishment
over the comprehensive character of
the improvement program of this city.
When he learned that so much had
been accomplished in so short a time
he was enthusiastic in praise of the
public spirit of our citizens.
This testimony is simply a repeti
tion of frequent comment upon the
advance of the city. All visitors speak
in the same way, and while there has
been a letting down of the civic mo
mentum of recent years, there is still
sufficient pride in the city's achieve
ments to encourage municipal officials
and citizens generally who want to
maintain the splendid reputation of
Harrisburg throughout the country.
It is expected that at the next meet
ing of the Chamber of Commerce a
resolution will be introduced provid
ing for the iaitial steps fori the big
Fourth of July celebration of next
year. This demonstration will take
the form of a festival in celebration of
the completion of the more impor
tant improvement projects of the last
twelve years. It is understood that
the program will embrace a river car
nival, hand concerts, fireworks, a his
torical pageant and other interesting
features.
There is also talk at this time of
the organization of a River Improve
ment Association with the purpose of
encouraging boa£ clubs and the more
general use of the river as a popular
resort. This association will also have
as one of Its main objects the clearing
of the river channel and the removal
of all obstructions so that aquatic
sports may be promoted for the bene
fit of the people.
Harrisburg Is at l&st awake to the
value of the river and its possibilities
to a growing city.
If you have any doubt about the
value of the improvement of the River
Front of Harrisburg, just take a stroll
along the river any fine evening and
observe the hundreds of people who ap
preciate the parks and who find pleas
ure In the restful atmosphere of the
Susquehanna.
Candidate McCormlek's speech yes
terday wasn't quite up to his usual
standard. He admitted that there was
In the Republican party one time, some
years ago, an honest man.
"War may shut off diamonds," says
a newspaper headline. War is cer
tainly what Sherman said it was.
I EVENING CHAT 1
Blackbirds have caught the prevail
ing spirit of the times and have started
to mobilize. The black-coated visitors
to our fields and parks and gardens
appeal- to realize that they are now
protected by law ami are gathering
preparatory to their (light for southern
states in the moat open manner and in
places which they would not have
dared to frequent a few years ago
when they were legitimate game in the
'all. The blackbird is one of the
conspicuous visitors to this part of
the state. Indeed, the lower Susque
hanna Valley appears to be one of the
favorite gathering places for the birds
and they are present this year in large
numbers. Although It Is rather early,
they have commenced to Hock together
and some large bands have been seen
flying in clouds about the wooded sec
tions in the evenings. Just at present,
however, they are more numerous in
grain fields than anywhere else. In
years gone by the blackbirds did not
gather until late in August, but this
year they have been noticed Hocking
together, and some hundreds have
been s?en in Reservoir Park. Last
year Father Penn in recognition of the
valuable services rendered to farmers
and garden owners by the blakbirds
put them into the same class as the
robins and put the kildeer along with
them. Now a blackbird may not be
killed unless he Is caught doing dam
age to crops or fruit or tearing up the
nests of other birds. To the credit of
the industrious, pugnacious insect de
stroyer it can be said that very few
reports have been received of depre
dations on the nests of other birds
hereabouts. The blackbirds have been
very busy in Capitol Park, the Reser
voir and even in the city parks this
year, although more numerous in the
fit Ids near the city than anywhere
else.
Men who observe birds and bugs,
the flying, crawling and creeping
things that come around say that
Harrisburg owes the preservation of
its riverside parks and the Capitol
and Jteservolr Parks from the ravages
of the army worm to the robins, spar
rows. blackbirds and other feathered
inhabitants of the public place?. Some
men who are students say that If
people would put up bird houses and
encourage the birds to come around
they would be surprised how the dam
age by various pests would be les
sened. One of the reasons why truck
gardens on the outskirts of the city
were not visited by the worms which
caused such havoc among the city
gardens was that there were plenty of
birds. Some of the robins and other
birds did get around where the worms
were to be found and for days vrent
to bed so gorged with fat, juicy diet
that they could hardly hang to their
perches. The greatest enemy the army
worm has is a real live, industrious
robin, although the blackbird is some
thing of a destroyer on his own hook.
The people up on Capitol Hill who
managed to escape tlie army worm
are doing their level best to keep out
the tent caterpillar and men armed
with broomsticks tipped with tin or
steel are making inspections of the
tree trunks and the corners and places
where the caterpillars gather to spin
their cocoons. It takes everlasting
vigilance on Capitol Hill to keep down
the various pests and the fact that the
trees are so free from the webs of the
moths testifies to the thoroughness of
the work.
Dr. Joseph Kalbfus, the State Game
Commissioner, to whose advocacy the
Mil protecting: the blackbird and other
birds which were formerly game was
due. says that If people In the towns
could only realize how much value the
birds were in dollars and cents as do
the farmers and the truck gardeners
there would be bird houses all over
the cities and the birds would be en
couraged to come around instead of
being frightened off. The damage
done by birds is infinitesimal com
pared to the benefits they confer. In
stances are known where people who
had suffered loss of rare roses and
flowers and raids on gardens because
of various pests made it a point to
scatter around food for birds and the
next year, thanks to the robins and
sparrows, the bugs were clearfed out.
It might be remarked in passing
Jhat farmers in this part of the state
"who have protected quail in winter
time and gone to the trouble to cast
feed for them among the hedgerows
and places where "Bob White" is gen
erally found have found that their
fields were protected from insects to
such an extent that they refused to
shoot the quail in season and hated to
see hunters come around. Every quail,
argue Dr Kalbfus and State Zoologist
Surface, has a value in dollars and
cents to the farmers, and if they are
fed in winter and protected in sum
mer the farmers will find that they
amply repay the care.

Boies Penrose, for Instance, when
re-elected, will be able to do more
than any other man in public life to
revive Pennsylvania's industries, and
as Chairman Crow says, his voice and
his vote will go far toward the re
establishment of healthful and pros
perous conditions among the people.
It is no mere jugglery with words to
say that he will have more influence
in the United States Ser.ate than any
other mnn in Pennsylvania that could
be sent there at this time.
Dr. Brumbaugh, the candidate for
Governor, as has been well said, stands
upon hts life record. He has been
tried and not found wanting. There
is no better way of Judging what a
man can do than by considering what
he has done. Dr. Brumbaugh's life
han been filled with accomplishments,
but there are two particular features
of it that stand out most prominently.
One covers his career as the United
States Commissioner of Education for
Porto Rico. The work he did there
won for him the praise and admiration
of the government and is something
of which he lias reason to be proud.
The other feature has been his career
as superintendent of the public schools
of this city. Many Philadelphians
hove come In intimate contact with
Dr. Brumbaugh in this field and thev
know how greatly he has contributed
to the success and the upbuilding of
the schools. He hi-is administrative
ability of a high order and It will be
valuahle to him at Harrisburg.
Tt is a sufe rule to cling to the men
who have been tried and have been
proved. Great principles are at stake
this year, and these alone are sufficient
reasons for voting the Republican
ticket, but added to it are candidates
of experience and of courage. .

The officers elected by the freemen

Of course, they did not talk patronage.

400 men were present during the day.
McCormick made a speech which cre
ated much quiet amusement. He

REDMOND SPEAKS FOR IRELAND
[New York Sun.J"
John Redmond showed high quali
ties both of leadership and manhood
when he told the House of Commons
that the British government might
with safety withdraw every soldier
from Ireland, that the Irish coasts
would be defended by her own armed
sons, the Catholics of the south and
the Protestants of Ulster. Of course
he meant Catholics and Protestants
in all parts of the island; the form of
his pledge was merely rhetorical.
That he truthfully expressed the
attitude of the Irish people as a whole
nobody will be inclined to question. It
Is not necessary to assume any over
weening devotion to the English flag
and It would be grossly unfair to drag
ill the supposed Irish combativeness
by way of explanation. It is the. broad
spirit of loyalty, of fair play, of good
faith between man and man that ani
mates Mr. Redmond and his following.

time. You can get a thorough evacuation of the lower
bowel at any time, day or night. It keeps the inside as clean
as the outside of the body. It carries off all waste material.
It encourages the liver to do its duty. It carries off all
refuse matter from the stomach and intestines ,after all the
nourishing and life-giving properties of food have been ex
tracted and turned into Blood, Muscle and Vitality.
CONSTIPATION is the clog that has been doing
most of the mischief to the human system since the world
began. It sets up all sorts of ailments. Poisonous sub
stances have not been able to get out of the natural outlet;
therefore, it has sent its gases and poisons through the
whole system.
Thousands of persons to-day think they have heart
disease, when they have nothing more or less than Consti
pation. They think they have a rebellious liver and stom
ach, when, in fact, it is nothing more or less than this clog
in the lower bowel. It is a crime to take anything through
the stomach that will upset digestion, and make it travel
through 32 feet of intestines in order to clear away a little
obstruction that is at the lower bowel. .
TU-80-LAX is a laxative ointment. A little of it
placed in the rectum dissolves all the hardened substances
and evacuates and cleanses the lower bowel inside of 2
MINUTES. It has the tendency to strengthen the muscles
of the bowels, so that they will act naturally and without
assistance. IT IS TRULY A BLESSING' FOR CHIL
DREN AND INFANTS.
More Than 1000 Molormen and Engineers

vigorous immediately after.
Women who desire a clear complexion, bright eyes and
robust body should discard all sorts of cathartics and de

taking a swallow of water.
