Words nre idle at such a time. ißut every American who has knelt by the bedside of a departing loved one »—and who Is there who has not —will extend to the President in this his tiour of greatest sorrow that measure bf sympathy without which the world (would be a dark, dark place indeed. Not everyone can know the trials ■tend travails that mark the lives of those whose lots are cast in high places, but the entrance of death into the family circle Is an extreme grief that Is common to us all. None is so exalted but that the shadow crosses Ms path, and none so lowly but that It comes to him. So it is by no means going beyond the facts to say that the patlon, as one, bows in sorrow over the tragic event that has overtaken the President at the very zenith of his fcareer. TIME TO GET TOGETHER IF the Susquehanna river, within the area affected by the dam now being constructed at the lower end of the city. Is to be made absolutely eafe for small craft of all kinds, much •work remains to be done outside the contracts for the improvements already let. Within a few feet of the shore, hut not within the limits set by the specifications for the river wall, there remain large rocks and deposits of £mall stones that will be a constant menace to the canoes, sailboats, row boats and motorboats with which the Stream will abound when the dam is Now Is the time. It would seem, for those who have boats on the river, or ■who hope to have them when the im provements now under way are com pleted, to get together for some ac tion looking toward relief. The water never will be lower than it is now. It •would be cheaper to do the work at this time than next year. Beside, It fls important to have everything In readiness for the big carnival that Is to mark the completion of the River [Front Improvements. Boatmen could do much to fur ther their own interests by forming Some sort of an organization now to Hook after the pressing needs of the present and to plan for the future. Perhaps nothing since the outbreak tof the hostilities in Europe has been so significant of the respect of the nations of the world for the United States as the appeal of China to this •country to have our Government inter cede with the warring Powers for the purpose of Insuring maintenance of .peace in the Far East. Whatever may be the outcome of the awful struggle In Europe, it is certain that the pres tige of the United States will be still further Inci-eased among the peoples of Whe world. MIDSUMMER POLITICS REACTION has set In against the new primary system throughout the country. George E. Cole, the Chicago reformer, who is a champion of many of the most mod ern devices for the purification of poli tics and the betterment of mankind. Is among those who have changed their minds. He believes now that only a few of our State officials should be chosen by popular vote and that the larger num ber should get their positions by ap pointment. In his Judgment the State government should be modeled largely on the national government; that the .Governor should be elected and then (appoint his cabinet, as Is done by the 'President, subject to the approval of the Senate. Boiled down to the very essence of the situation, the men who were rail ing against the old system of nomi nations and who protested that the people had no chance under the con vention and delegate system, who In sisted that there must be an entire regeneration of the electoral plan, have discovered that all the new fangled ballots and the restrictions designed to overcome alleged bosslsm have had the exactly opposite effect. The political boss could ask nothing than the present primary ays FRIDAY EVENING, HARHISBURG TELEGRAPH AUGUST 7, 1914. tern. It has been demonstrated already that the go-called open primary is a delusion and a snare and that, after all, the old system of nominations pro duced better results than the present scheme of the free-for-all primary. Perhaps there Is no • better Illus tration of this fact than the choosing of Democratic candidates in Pennsyl vania by three men, two of whom are alleged nominees of their party. Yet we see one of these candidates going up and down the State denouncing bossism and talking about "hand picked Governors of political bosses" in disregard of all the ordinary ethics of political decency. He smites his chest in mock heroics and demands that his Republican rival for the chief office on Capitol Hill shall declare himself; that the State government shall be reorganized; that there shall be a new deal; in short, that he shall be given the job. Perhaps never before in the history of the Democratic party In Pennsylvania has there been such a spectacle of little men beating their tomtoms and trying to deceive the people by the amateur performances of fakers who cannot rise above their own pettiness or see beyond their own consuming ambitions. Just now the voters of Pennsylvania are too busy with their own affairs and with watching from afar the world conflict abroad to give much attention to the political clowns and strutting peacocks in the midsummer political game. "Me no leave 'Merlca- This good countree," was the remark of a for eigner standing in front of the bulletin board of the Telegraph to-day. Thou sands of aliens employed In the indus trial plants of the United States are taking out their first citizenship papers and will remain In America. PROGRESSIVE HARMONY IN the midst of the clashing of arms the break between the Colonel and his fellow Progressives of New York over the endorsement of Hinman for Governor has been almost overlooked. After the Colonel had finished his speech and departed excited members of the Progressive conference shouted that an endorsement of Hinman would be an "indecent alliance." There were also cries of "steam roller" and "gag rule," all indicating a fine brand of harmony. But the most important feature of the whole row was the fur ther rap given Amos Pinchot, a brother of Glfford, by the Colonel. Speaking of flowers and the decora tion of industrial and other buildings in the city by the use of window plant ing. there is most favorable comment upon the beautiful arrangement of blooming plants along the front of the city's pumping station at North street. It Is a. creditable showing, and adds much to the appearance of the well kept environment of the city's pump ing machinery. FOOLING THE PEOPLE THE Palmer-McCormlck personal machine Is still at work ousting efficient servants of the people and replacing them by their hungry supporters. A dispatch from Towanda states that three experienced members of the Towanda pension ex amining board have been requested to resign by the Pension Commissioner at Washington. Dr. Woodburn, a member of the board, addressed a let ter to the commissioner asking why they were removed from office and he received this answer: Your work has been satisfactory. The change is made at the sugges tion of Congressman Palmer. One of the members who was re quested to resign was appointed as a Democrat under the Cleveland Admin istration, but voted for Taft In 1912. His two colleagues voted for Roose velt in the same year. But this is not all. Under the same date it is stated that the old pension board at Athens in this State had also been removed to make place for three others, at the "suggestion" of Congressman Palmer. Yet we are told that the whole pur pose of the present "reorganization" of the Democratic party is to bring about efficiency in the public service. We must believe that there Is nothing else to it; that Palmer and McCor mick are actuated by nothing save the loftiest motives in removing men of experience and character from Im portant public positions. It is Impos sible to think that they would do this for political reasons. Only political bosses do such things, and we must assume that the pension boards, rev enue employes, collectors of customs and all other officials who are walking the plank with great frequency are inefficient. But there are still some people a good many people, who are increasing in number daily—who refuse to be impressed by the speeches of the heavenly twins and their preten sions of superior righteousness and honesty of purpose. These have not yet learned to appreciate that won derful Lincoln saying that you can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all the people all the time. In this year of our Lord the voters of Pennsylvania are thinking for themselves and all the gusty talk of reform and regeneration and efficiency and all the rest of it will fall upon the electorate like beans upon a drum head. REMOYTNG TEMPTATION EX-PRESIDENT TAFT, deploring the European war, says we can reasonably count on common sense resuming its sway after the horrible expenditure of blood of the best and the savings of the rich and the poor. He believes that there is bound to be a reduction of the ar mament and the taking away of the temptation of further war. He says further: It 1b an awful remedy, but In the end it may be worth what it costs. If it makes this the last great war. The influence of America can be thrown most effectively for peace, when peace is possible, and for minimum armaments when disaster and exhaustion shall make the con tending peoples and their rulers see things as they are. , I EVENING CHAM Announcement that the citizens of Wormleysburg, Harrlsburg'a Just across the river little neighbor, plan to celebrate the centennial of the found ing of the town "next year, calls to mind the fact that the borough at the bridge end and its neighbors of New Cumberland, Shiremanstown and West Fairvlew, were all laid out about the same time. Wormleysburg, probably because of the restricted areas upon which It stands, has remained the smallest of the West Shore boroughs, but since it assumed its borough clothes, a few years ago, it has been stirring. It owes its names to John Wormley, who owned most of the land now built up and who was one of the prominent men of this section. Several members of the family have achieved fame in the fields of medicine, chemistry, education and theology, and they are far better known in the big cities than they are about here. John Wormley laid out the town in 1816. About that time the Harris burg bridge, the original "camelback," was being completed, and the new town began where Bridgeport, which was the hotel and a few houses at the end of the bridge, began. It has al ways been a question which was old est—Bridgeport or Wormleysburg. But Bridgeport has passed away and Wormleysburg is thriving. The reason for Wormleysburg, was that a place was needed along the river right op posite Harrisburg, and where people could rest on their trips from White Hill «nd Camp Hill, which antedate Harrisburg. Camp Hill was an Indian Agency before the revolution, and White Hill, which is now chiefly a sta tion and a name, was a settlement on the farm of Robert Whitehill. New Cumberland is older than Wormleys burg, having been laid out In 1810 by Jacob M. Haldeman. and West Fair view dates from 1815, so that It and Wormleysburg can unite. West Fair view was the site of a forge over 100 years ago, but Abraham Neidigh laid out the town about tl>e same time that John Wormley got busy further down the river. Shiremanstown can be said to date from about 1813, as the first houses were erected In what is now the town in 1813 or 1814. Of the West Shore towns, however, New Cumberland has the most inter esting history. It is closely identified with the history of the Haldeman family, prominent hereabouts before the revolution. Tradition has it that the Shawnee Indians had a village at the mouth of the Yellow Breeches, just another clan had its village at the mouth of the Conodogulnet. Early Indian traders had regular trading places there and John Harris did busi ness with the Indians from that sec tion soon after he came here 200 years ago, while Peter Chartier mentions the place. Mr. Haldeman had his Iron works at New Cumberland, and In 1810 laid out the town, although there were a number of houses grouped in the present limits of the borough long before 1800. Attorney Charles C. Stroh, member of the Dauphin County Bar and one of the principal chorister guests at Muzzle Club banquets, observed to-day that he has had this on his mind for some days, ever since the European war news began to black-type the front pages of the newspapers: "Now I've noticed such expressions as 'brink of war,' 'verge of war,' 'clash of the great armies of the world,' 'bat tle of the nations,' 'wars of the world,' etc., figuring quite frequently," said Mr. Stroh, "in the local and metro politan headlines, but there is one other original expression that has been woefully neglected, It seems to me." "And that is—?" began a listener, bleathlessly. " 'Let Loose the Dogs of War'.' Why—eh, why has this been except ed?" demanded the attorney. People who have noticed the scaf folding erected around the flag pole on the south wing of the State Capitol were puzzled to find out why the pole had to be renewed. It happens that the pole was struck by lightning on Sunday evening and considerably damaged. The bolt, struck the top right at the cap and for five feet the pole was splintered, grooves being cut in for the remainder of the staff. The force of carpenters at the Capitol will place a new cap and about five feet of pole on top of the old pole. The men working 160 feet in the air attracted much attention to Capitol Hill to day. The striking of this pole was one of the few times that, the State House has been struck by lightning. Three or four times have been recorded, one being in 1908 when lightning hit the gilded figure at the top and ripped off the gilt for several feet. Another bolt hit the part called a lantern, imme diately below the gilded figure two years ago. I WELL KNOWN PEOPLE "1 —Mayor S. H.

RICH PICKINGS [From the Philadelphia North Ameri can.] This nation, opulent, populous, ex pansive, the richest pickings ever of fered to a conqueror in all the length of history, has but one safeguard against attack. It does not He in trea ties or international agreements. The ideal of peace Is noble and Inspiring. But the conventions to that end are not worth the paper on which they are written, unless the nation itself is pre pared to fight for them. It is the In ternational paraphrase of the Cromwel llan advice, "Trust in God and keep your powder dry." The United States must have a navy of sufficient strength to make it dan f;erous for an enemy to attack her. Vlthout such a defense this republic has no more assurance that it is safe from invasion than Belgium had. And Belgium had the solemn pledge of every great power In Europe. AN EVENING THOUGHT And all the bars at which we fret. That seem to prison and control. Are but the doors of set Ajar before the soul. —Henry van Dyke. MORE DISCLOSURES ABOUT APPOINTEES Democratic Machine Appears to Have Selected Some Vulner able Postmasters HEARINGS TO BE RESUMED Paxtang Council Organizes; Dean Lewis and Ezra Make a Tour in Lancaster According to what people who have been in Washington and York say, there will be still more startling dis closures made before the Senate prob ing committee about some of the Pal mer-McCormick selections for post offices than were made in the case of ex-Sheriff Peeling, of York. The Democrats belonging to that "har monious Democracy" of which the Market Square beagle yelps, but who are fighting the reorganization gang sters in York county, have bfeen comb ing the county and promise some rare disclosures. Delta will come after York. It is said that some of the other held-up postmaster appointments will be heard later on and that there will be a shaking up of the Democratic machine that will make it jingle worse than when "Farmer" Creasy hit a backhander by declaring that the cor rupt practices act had not been lived up to. when over a dozen Palmer- McCormick committees are said to have failed to file reports. Maybe the yowl of the $33,000 McCormick kampaign kitty may be heard in the Senate committee rooms. Accompanied by Ezra Stoltsfus and other adherents of the cause, William Draper Lewis yesterday toured Lan caster county. He visited no less than twenty-seven Ezra and defenseless towns and the Dean made a speech at each. On Trip The dean's tour is without. Gilford Pinchot, who is detained in Connecticut by his mother's illness. Dean Lewis was in good voice and made a speech in which he wept over the ills of Penn sylvania and pointed out that he and not any Democrat was the man to cure them. The dean declines to see any good in the McCormick preten sions. Democrats who are not so obsessed with the Palmer-McCormlck preten sions that they find time to laugh at the antics of the bosses of the party of Jefferson and McNair Bryan are smiling at the Goes It manner In which W. N. Alone McNair, candidate for Sec retary of Internal Affairs on the Democratic ticket, has been making his campaign. McNair -was nominated against the wishes of the Little Boss and has oniy been with McCormick once on the circuit. As soon as he could leave the Little Boss in the Center region he Vent to Philadelphia and made a campaign of his own. McNair is a good cam paigner and attracts considerable at tention, which probably explains some things. The Paxtang borough council last night elected J. Q. A. Rutherford, Jr., as president, Fred M. Gilbert, whose name had been presented, declining to be a candi- date. The election was Paxtang unanimous. The council CouncU also elected Harry W. Organizes Crouse as the first bor- ough clerk and named Dr. C. M. Forney and I. R. Lyme as a commitee to consider the selection of a borough solicitor. The meeting was held in the schoolhouse and the coun cil discussed the general situation without formulating any program. Another meeting will be held next week, at which it is probable that street improvement will be taken up. A board of health is to be named and other officials selected. United States Senator Boies Pen rose and all the rest of the Republican nominees on the State ticket are ex pected to attend the Leb- anon County Fair on Au- Penrose gust 20 and Republican to Speak County Chairman Wil- August 20 liam J.

The distinguished party will have dinner at a local hotel and in the afternoon will go to the fair grounds to address the thousands of visitors there. John K. R. Schropp, L.

McCormick's going to make a speech. —Someone made a blunder to-day and played up the State aid road plan. It has been working with success in Pennsylvania under Republican ad ministration for years. —The "harmonious" Democracy of Pennsylvania about which the Mar ket Square poets write Is a good bit like the concert of Europe. —The Saturday Evening Post ap parently does not think Mr. Bryan has done much to entitle him to fame. —Reports that the Palmer-McCor mlck League will get busy are offi cially denied. It's too early to spend money. —lt's about time for State Chair man Morris to say that patronage Is never discussed at the Democratic State windmill. —The mourning Jackal appears to have overlooked the fact that Penn sylvania has had a State aid law al most a dozen years. UNIVERSALITY OF THE WAT» FOR TUNATE [From the Philadelphia Public ledger.] It is not an unmixed evil that the war h»B Involved all Europe. A great, decisive contest is better than a series of them. Peace can emerge only from a general cataclysm. Were England not involved now, a battle for existence would be waiting for her. The hope of humanitarianism and civilization rests on the very enormity of the Impending calamity. It will de stroy for one side or the other the menace of competition In arms. The paraphernalia of destruction Is propor tioned to the vast field ready for reap ing. The ultimate strength of all the nations is In the melting pot. The dis aster will be so overwhelming that peace when It comes must be lasting. A WAR THAT IS MADNESS [New York World.] Germany has run amuck.

I IXITERSTOTRIE EDITOR 1 ECHO OF ANOTHER WAR To the Editor of the Telegraph: At the Battle of Fredericksburg, Va., on December 13, 1862, I was bad ly wounded, shot through the right leg below the knee, when my regi ment made the charge on Mary's Heights, the stone wall. Well, I laid on the battlefield for three hours and alongside of me there was a young man lying dying, and he asked me for water. I had none, as I had no canteen. Then he reached over and took my hand and held It. I looked at his cap and saw he was a member of the Forty-second New York Volun teers. I had some trouble to get my hand out of his, as it was the grip of death. I often think of his mother, as she rocked herself In her old arm chair, looking for her boy, and it may be she did not know that he was sleep ing on the banks of the Rappahannock river. He looked about my age, about 17. I often think God sent an angel in the form of a man, for about 4 p. m. Sergeant Thomas J. White came and carried me off the field on his back, or I would have bled to death. I often think of that boy, and that we could reach up and ask Jesus to take ur hands when we cross the bridge. WM. H. JOHNSON, 540 Camp Street, City. Harrisburg, July 26, 1914. THE DEATH OF MRS. AVILSON [From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.] The nation mourns with the Presi dent the death of her who has been his first and best counselor, his stay and helpmeet In the anxious difficulties that have peculiarly beset his adminis tration. Mrs. Wilson never in the least particular had sought personal noto riety—her whole study was to give aid and to bring encouragement to lives forlorn and cheerless, to be a peace maker and to dwell in charity with all mankind, to set In the daily existence of the White House an example of do mestic tranquility and felicity such as are characteristic of the life of the typical American family. Mrs. Wilson's ambitton at no time was directed toward the vainglorious ostentation of a social conquest; the very name of "the first lady of the land" was repugnant to her, nor had she given her approval to any plan that contemplated the revival in the Execu tive Mansion of the frigid formalism of monarchical ceremony. To far worthier ends the whole energy of her being, the sweetness and compelling sympathy of her personality were directed. In the Invaluable aid she gave the President, she befriended and served the nation, and the overwhelming affliction that is his has brought distress to all the land. Over the drums and guns and the dia bolic slaughter, the still small voice of a dying woman's prayer for peace, even though It may not be heard by the em battled warriors, has spoken for the heart and soul of all America. gNE IN SYMPATHY [From the New York Sun.] "May that fear pass! May she who has borne herself so nobly and so na turally, whose quiet, fruitful work for others has sapped her strength, be spared and strengthened!" Such yes terday was the hope, vain, alas! o* all Americans. The time that sees them one In patriotic provision for the emer gencies and needs born of war abroad sees them one in sympathy with Mr. Wilson's sorrow. GOOD-BY, JOE! [From the New York Sun ] We don't want to say anything un kind of the Hon. Joseph Little Brlstow now that he has been beaten In the Kansas Republican primaries by Charles Curtis, a competent and able man, whose return to the Senate would be welcomed by Republicans generally. Mr. Brlstow has been an Irritation and a nuisance in the Senate. His dema gogy is of the cheapest sort. Trying to be more Progressive than the Progres sives and yet to keen in the Republi can reservation, he has been a spec tacle and a derision.

There is no middle course. If the forces that the kaiser has loosed are victorious, the map of European republicanism may as well be rolled up, and the American people prepare to make the last great stand for de mocracy. All of continental Europe that is not Russianized will be Prus sianized. France will be reduced to the status of a third-rate power. Bel gium, Holland and Denmark will fall successively into the maw of German imperialism. Italy will become a vas sal state, the sun will have set upon the British empire as well, and the mailed fist of the conqueror will make ready to strike the final blow at democracy in the New World.

Upon the American people alone, three thousand miles from the scene of con flict, is levied a tribute of millions of dollars a day in disorganized com merce, disorganized industry and dis organize finance, and the final reckon ing that must be paid for this ma niacal onslaught of German autocracy defies calculation. The human im agination is staggered as It faces the inevitable consequences of this su preme achievement of paranoia. It is still possible to sympathize with the German people in the great tra gedy that has overtaken them, with tneir backs to the wall fighting a more powerful coalition than ever Napoleon faced. But there can be only one answer to the kaiser's challenge to Europe. German autocracy has made Itself the enemy of mankind. Its destruction will be the emancipation of the German people themselves as well as the salvation of European republicanism.
