SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 8
MRS. WILSON AND THE SLUMS
MRS. WILSON'S great interest in
what is known as the anti
slum bill, which was intro
duced into the Congress at
Washington as the result of her great
interest in improving the housing con
ditions at the National Capital, will
probably result in the passage of the
measure without delay. This bill is
designed to eliminate houses facing
on alleys by the end of ten years. It
makes it unlawful to erect a dwelling
house in an alley if the alley be less
than thirty feet wide throughout its
entire length, does not run straight
and open on two streets and which
is not supplied with sewers, water
mains and gas and electric lights. A
limitation is placed upon the rebuild
ing of houses now located in alleys
and provision is made for the con
demnation of all such houses which
have fallen into disrepair.
It is for the purpose of avoiding
slum 'conditions that the City Plan
ning Commission of Harrlsburg is now
urging those who are about to de
velop building operations to avoid so
far as possible narrow alleys and the
facing of dwellings on such streets.
This city is becoming more and more
an attractive place for the homes of
the people and restrictions against
mere greed in real estate development
ought to be provided by the commis
sion in order to prevent congestion
hereafter such as made unsani
tary some sections of the city under
the old order, which looked with in
difference upon the placing of as
many houses as possible upon a given
piece of land.
In their convention at Erie, the State
Association of County Commissioners
discussed some important legislation
which will be introduced at the next
session of the General Assembly.
Among other things they want the
bounty law on noxious animals re
pealed, and ask a law requiring the de
posit of county funds in approved
banks at interest. They also favor the
appointment of a commission to modify
the bridge laws of Pennsylvania.
THK WAR ANI) TRADE
THERE are many and grave
problems confronting the gov
ernment and the people of the
United States as a result of the
embroilment of practically the whole
of Europe in a great war. These
problems concern the future quite as
much as the present. While our in
dustry and commerce are now more
or less paralyzed through the inability
to make Shipments beyond our bor
ders, there is a growing impression
among thoughtful and experienced
students of the situation that the war
cannot last long and with its con-
elusion must come a readjustment of
the trade and commerce of the world.
Europe is rushing to buy American
. goods In large volume, and with the
opening of the lanes of the sea will
come an immediate and widespread
revival throughout this country. Busi
ness in the iron and steel industry has
been sadly deranged by the war and
the tariff changes, and the export
trade is practically at a standstill.
Experts in the field of commerce,
however, take the view that there are
compensating developments and. as a
result, there is a more hopeful feeling
as to the i«esumption of business in the
International market.
The head of the great Baldwin Lo
comotive Works expressed the belief
yesterday that the war situation in
Europe would change for the better in
a short time and that England as
suming control of the sea, regular
transportation would be re-established
with many parts of Europe in a few
■weeks.
In the big wheat crop of this coun
try' lies the chief source of worry to
officials of the Treasury and Com
merce Departments. Within a few
weeks this product will be ready for
shipment abroad, and the foreign na
tions, especially those at war, will be
clamoring for it. Then will come the
trouble for the government.
Can the United States, as a neutral,
permit this wheat to be shipped to
the belligerents, and will it be con
traband of war? These are the ques
tions which arp puzzling the officials,
and they are holding dally confer
ences to determine what to do. And
tghfl&t |a only, one of the many.
SATURDAY EVENING,
ican products which may de declared
contraband.
A. Barton Hepburn, president of
the Chase National Bank of New
York city, predicts a biK boom for
our industry and the possible restora
tion of the American merchant ma
rine as a result of the general war
abroad. It is his opinion that war
'will paralyze the industry of Burope
and will force that country to look to
us for staple foodstuffs and other
commodities of life. In the matter of
the restoration of the shipping power
of the United States, owing to the sus
pension of the foreign-controlled
steamship lines, he declared it was up
to America to provide the ships in
which to carry food and other sup-;
plies to Europe. Mr. Hepburn does
not agree with some others that the J
war will be a short one. He thinks it j
will be long drawn out and dis
lastrous. It is his judgment that the I
Powers are in no mood to mediate, I
but want to fight it out to the finish, j
Discussing the need of American I
steamship lines. Senator Boies Pen
rose, in a speech before an associa
tion of businessmen yesterday, said:
To-day, in the midst of the Euro
pean conllagration. our commerce
is paralyzed because we have not
got American vessels to carry the
cargoes. We are impotent to take
advantage of our opportunity.
In our boastful pride, it would be
well to realize that ive are depen
dent upon Greijt Britain and for
eign vessels to bring Americans
back from Europe to the united
States and to carry American grain
and other products abroad.
There is a growing sentiment j
throughout the country that the time!
has come to create a real American (
merchant marine so that the enor- 1
moufe output of our fields and work- j
shops may be transported to all parts i
of the world under the American flag.
It may be that such a result will be'
an important outcome of the great
conflict in Europe.
But there is another side to the ex
pansion of our trade under present
circumstances. For years there has
been maintained by the Powers of
Europe a tine equilibrium which made
it impossible for any of those nations
now engaged in war to seriously think
of interfering with the Monroe doc
trine on this continent. They have
frequently sneered at the doctrine and
there are reasons for believing that
on several occasions, had it not been
for the nice balance necessarily main
tained between the European nations,
Germany or England, and perhaps
others, might have disregarded our
assumed police authority over the
Latin-American countries, including
South America, and pushed the ex
pansion of their colonization schemes.
So the success of any one of these
great Powers in the present war. mak
ing it a dominant power in Europe,
might lead to a different attitude to
ward the United States and its inter
ests and policies on this continent and
our insular possessions.
For instance, Germany and England
have looked with envious eyes upon
Mexico and the attitude of our gov
ernment during the last few months
toward the Huerta regime has not ex
cited much enthusiasm among the Eu
ropean nations. So that any great de
velopment of our trade and commer
cial interests at the expense of these
nations now at war is likely hereafter
involve the United States in more
delicate situations with one or more
of these Powers.
it Is in view of such a contingency
that our far-seeing statesmen have
urged and are now urging the main
tenance of a strong and efficient naw
to the end that we shall be able at
all times to defend our interests and
protect our shores against the grasp
ing and greedy nations of the old
world.
Mayor John K. Royal is apparently
determined that the racket created by
noisy automobiles and motorcycles shall
cease. In this crusade he will have the
support of every, considerate owner of
a machine and the public at large. Per
haps the worst offenders in this respect
are the noisy motorcycle maniacs who
seem to associate noise with pleasure.
AN ABRI'IT i:\'l>l\G
IT'S all over, the gubernatorial cam
paign of 1914. We are advised this
morning in the leading editorial\>f
the Harrisburg Patriot, of which
the Democratic candidate for governor
is owner, that "Vance C. McCormlck
is invincible in the tight for the Gover
norship of the State; that those who
vote for McCormlck are bound to vote
for the man who is going to win next
November, and those who vote for
some other candidate will be simply
throwing their votes away."
In this shrinking and modest way is
the (Campaign closed by the hand
picked ca 'idate and we can now give
our attention to the few unimportant
things which are left to engage the
public attention.
As showing the increasing interest
in floral decoration in Harrisburg, it
is a pleasure to call attention to the
beautiful flowers which fringe the State
street front of the Harrisburg Pipe and
Pipe Bending works. But that is not
all. Inside the fence surrounding the
company's property and between the
two large plants is a great bed of
blooming flowers. Nor is that all.' On
the window ledges here and there are
boxes tilled with flowers and there is
rivalry among the men as to which de
partment can produce the most beauti
ful plants.
FOOLISH ROAD POLICY
HOSE who attended the State
T convention of County Commis
sioners at Erie yesterday heard
some interesting comments on
t" e foolish policy advocated in some
'circles of turning the automobile
license funds back to the counties in
which they originate to be used for
road construction and repair work by
the count;- authorities. At present
these license fees go Into a common
fund to be used at the discretion of
the State Highway Department for
road repair work.
It was pointed out that if the policy
advocated were adopted, Philadelphia
and Allegheny counties would get
nearly all the money and some coun
ties would get little or none. From
Philadelphia comes about one-third
of the entire automobile fees of the
.siiole State, and IX this sum were
J turned "back to Philadelphia county,
] all the other counties would be out
| down proportionately. The fewer the
iautomobiles the less the county would
get for road repair work, according
to the plan proposed, whereas some of
the rural counties, with very few ma
chines licensed, need road repairs
more than some of the more populous
communities where the highways are
in better condition.
I EVENING CHAT I
Very few of the people who stroll
I along the river front to view the 1m-
I provements being made by the Cum
berland Valley Kailroad realize tluit
i the section of park lying just south
I of Mulberry street is the very oldest
j part of Harrisburg. It is the district
I which was Harris Ferry when George 11
j ascended the throne of Great Britain
| and was an active place fifty years
before Wolfe died in taking Quebec
from the French. According to tra
ditions and fairly trustworthy records
it is 200 years since John Harris
stopped at the ford of the Susquehanna
about where the line of the Vanderbilt
piers was constructed, although it was
not until 1733 that he patented the
land on which the lower half of Har
risburg stands. The ford was in use
by traders before 1700 and Indians
crossed about where the Heading
trains roll over the high bridge long
before Columbus' caravel touched
San Salvador. Harris built his first
cabin, or blockhouse, called "Fort
Harris." within the limits of Harris
Park, about 150 to 200 feet south of
where he lies buried, and men are liv
ing who could probably trace its lines.
The first well sunk was not far away.
The site of the mulberry tree where
tradition says lie was about to be
burned when saved by Indians from
the Conodogutnet Is inside the enclos
ure where Harris sleeps. Thus
within a small section of tho river
front is the beginning of Harrisburg.
and as the State is commencing to
mark historic sites in the sixty-seven
counties and to place a tablet within
Dauphin county it behooves Harris
burg to spend a little of its abundance
of money in appropriate marking of
the place where it began. The per
son who visits Philadelphia, Pitts
burgh, Fredericksburg. Boston or
Charleston, any one of the places
which have high spots in American
history, is struck by the care taken
to mark the early places, and this has
been done by scores of other cities
which take pride in showing from
what humble beginnings they have
come. Few of the cities of Pennsyl
vania have an origin so interesting
and it is regrettable that it is accepted
as a matter of cpurse that such places
as Harris' Fort and Ferry sites exist.
As stated, the Pennsylvania His
torical Commission, acting in conjunc
tion with the Dauphin County His
torical Society, plans to erect a per
manent marker on the most notable
historic site in Dauphin county. It is
likely that this marker will be placed
at Fort Hunter, which was an outpost
in Colonial days and a place of refuge
during the French and Indian War.
Old Paxton Church, with nearly two
centuries of activity to its glory, offers
aaother interesting place, but it is al
ready marked, and it seems to be the
policy to note those points which
were fortifications rather than those
which were used for worship or busi
ness. Fort Hunter, which is one of
the most interesting places in this
vicinity, still preserves many attrac
tions for the historian. The fort was
located on a point which commands
a broad view of the Susquehanna and
traces of old works and sallyports are
to be found.
Fort Hunter, unlike Fort Harris, as
the stockaded cabin of Harris was
called, was erected by the settlers.
Harris built fortifications to protect
himself and his pelts and stores. His
Stout building was standing probably
forty years before necessity caused
the erection of the fort at Hunter's
Mills. Just when Fort Hunter was
built is not known, but it is supposed
to have been about 1748 or 1750, as
Colonial records of a few years later
refer to it. The fort stood on the
site of the mansion of John W. Reily.
This house, however, dates back only
100 years, having been built in 1814
by Archibald McAllister on the land
occupied by the old blockhouse. Hunt
er's Mills was a stopping place Just
beyond Harris Ferry and it is sup
posed to have been fortified because
the Indians had a fort of their own
on Second Mountain and were in the
habit of gathering there and then
making raids, retreating to the high
point jutting out into the river when
their deviltry was over.
The state commission has already
marked the old magazine at Fort Au
gusta. near Sun bury, which is asso
ciated with the activities of William
Maclay in Colonial times and is one of
the best examples of early buildings
connected with a fort to be found in
this section. The marking of this spot
attracted much attention from people
versed in historical matters and
stimulated interest upthe two branches
of the Susquehanna in the commemo
ration of places of importance in state
history. The commission is to-day
engaged in looking over the site of
Fort McCord. a slfort distance from
Chambersburg, and will visit the sites
of Fort Louden and Fort Lyttleton,
which were places of refuge for the
colonists in the early days. These
forts were part of the chain which
extended along the Blue Ridge's east
ern slope from Boston down Into
Maryland and Virginia, the valley
they protected being the line followed
by Scotch and Irish, who have left an
irdelible impress upon the history of
the country. Later on other interest
ing points not commemorated will be
officially marked and future gen
erations will not be in ignorance of
the part played in the frontier wars by
the early residents of the state. The
Commonwealth is doing much to per
petuate the early history by its pub
lications and the markers to lie put up
will tell the story to those not familiar
with the books and who may not have
learned of the historic significance
through local tradition or family
legend.
The markers to be placed by the
State will likely be metal keystones
with the arms of the state at the top
and appropriate statements, the whole
to be surrounded by framework which
will protect it and at the same time
attract the attention of the passer-by
so that he may pause for a few mo
ments and let his mind linger on the
stirring times of almost a score of
decades agone.
FATHER'S DAY
Brinsr forth Pa's last year's derby hat;
crown it with posies gay;
We'll honor him, I tell you that, for this
is Father's day.
Think backward through the years he's
spent, forgotten things to greet.
And ask his mother—sister—aunt—
what foods he likes to eat.
Let Towser tumble on Pa's bed; it may
bring (leas, you know.
It's Father's Day in colors red, and he
prefers it so.
Don't ask for money on this Day; let
not his heart be vexed—
A single day will pass away, and we
can soak him next.
Let Father have his honored Day; It's
brief and Meeting hours,
And let him sto unshaven while we
strew his way with flowers.

monished his col- Committee

the coming contest at
the polls to insure a
swooping Republican victory.
"We must be ready for the battle,"
said he, "if we are to win. The ar

of a day or a year. Remember, some
of these nations have been preparing
for this crisis for forty-odd years, and
the army or navy that is manned,
equipped and disciplined in the high
est degree has a tremendous advan-'
tage in the conflict."
Senator Kdwln H. Vare gave credit
to the indefatigable efforts of the Re
publican division workers In bringing
about the election of Edwin S. Stuart
for Governor and Samuel P. Rotan
for District Attorney In 1906, and said
that to like industry of the rank and
tile of the party could be attributed
the election of John K. Tener to the
governorship in 1910.
Speaking of the Colonel's declina
tion of the invitation to speak in
Scranton on Labor day, the Scranton
Tribune Republican
says:
Roosevelt "There was no
Derlinatiorl doubt about the ac-
Discussed ceptance of the in
vitation according' to
the information re
ceived in a semi-confidental man
ner two weeks ago and con
firmed at that time by a state
ment given out at Harrisgurg by
Gifford Pinchot, the Washington
party candidate for United States
Senator. There is something pecu
liar about the matter which will pro
bably eome to the surface as soon as
Mr. Roosevelt can be communicated
with personally, as he is said to have
told certain parties that he
certainly come to this city on Labor
Day and deliver the address to the
union men. When the announcement
was made of his coming there were a
number of Washington party men
who seemed to oppose it as they had
other plans which the coming of
Roosevelt at the time indicated would
interfere with. Others in the labor
movement declared that he was a
political and no( a labor man and
this may have had the effect of mak
ing Roosevelt change his mind. But
the declaration that he would not be
here was a distinct surprise and dis
appointment to many who figured on
making the coming Labor Day the
most remarkable in the history of the
city because of the presence of such
a distinguished guest.
In Philadelphia the Republicans
will direct attention'to the following:

LOOKING FOR BUSINESS
[From the New York 9un.]
The war ends the work of the for
eign trade commission sent to Russia
by the National Association of Manu
facturers to look for business open
ings. This is quite natural. It Is no
time to drum up business wltjn war
concentrates every activity of HTcoun
try on the issue of life and death. But
the business men's cruise to South
America is on a different basis and it
Is to bo hoped its suspension will not
be too indefinite. There is no way of
avoiding the postponement, since the
Kroonland, for which It was booked,
has been called elsewhere. But In a
few weeks another ship can be found.
It must be borne ln v ßlnd that this is
a first class chance for us to annex
the trade of South America. While
England and Germany, which have
hitherto had such a grip on the mar
kets of our Latin neighbors, are trying
to destroy each other, why should not
we go In and take their places In fields
that naturally belong to us?

PLEASE DEFINE
By Winn Dinger
We realize, these days, that when
Old General Sherman said
That war is what it Is, he hit
The nail right on the head.
And while we're on the subject I
Would like to have defined
By someone, other things that have
Arisen in my mind.
For instance, when about this time
You've planned to go away
Taxes fall due and take your coin—
Of that what would you say?
Or, when for the home team you yell,
And use up all your strength.
What Is It when they drop the game
Of fourteen-Inning length?
And you, with autos, have some thought
(I'm sure you really must),
To fit the cfcap who keeps in front
And makes you eat his dust.
And other things occur to me—
At least a score or more—
I'm sure can be as well described
As Sherman portrayed war.
AIDED PRESIDENT'S CAREER
SIM, Wllxon tinve C'ouuxel at Prince
ton, Trenton, Wnnhlngton
When Woodrow Wilson, then a pro
fessor at Princeton University, had pre
pared for the printer the manuscript of I
his work. "The State," a discussion of |
politics and government, he wrote this i
dedication:
"To his wife, whose affectionate
sympathy and appreciative Interest has I
so greatly lightened the labor of pre- |
paring this work, it is gratefully dedi
cated by the author."
This credit Mr. Wilson cheerfully
gave to his wife. Others who knew of
her great helpfulness in his literary
work and of her intense personal ad
miration for her husband. Just enter
ing upon his career destined to be so
distinguished, were well aware of her
manv activities. In addition to her or
dinary household and domestic duties,
including the rearing of three children,
Mrs. Wilson was a constant companion
in her husband's study. Her advice
was sought by him, always weighed
and generally accepted on many a
doubtful point.
Undoubtedly Mrs. Wilson was devot
ed to her husband's ambition from the
start. With rare tact and skill she
was willing to aid and to plan for his
political advancement. It was Mrs.
Wilson herself who brought about the
meeting between her husband and Wil
liam J. Bryan, which was to mark the
beginning of the co-operation in poll
tics between these widely different men
that was to result in their common
triumph.
