TUESDAY EVENING, AUOtIRT 11 PLATFORM POTHER THOSE few Democrats in general and the Democratic candidate for Governor in particular who are so seriously disturbed over a Republican platform of principles aro giving themselves unnecessary worry. They pretend to forget that the Re publican candidates chosen in an open primary after full discussion declared the principles for which they stood long ago and the mere promulgation of a set of resolutions by a State com mittee or any other kind of a com mittee will have about as much effect upon the people as the high-sounding phrases and empty pledges of the little men who are now fussing over the State about the welfare of the people, which, being interpreted, means their own political welfare. Nor have the people forgotten that these same individuals who are so noisily proclaiming the demand of "the pee-pul" for a declaration of principles on the part of the Repub licans made no comment or apology when the solemn pledges of the Raltl more platform were flagrantly and openly violated by the nominees of that convention. The people of Pennsylvania this year are going to give a good deal more attention to personalities than they are to alleged principles; to fitness and experience than to high-brow talk and sophomorlc declarations. It is all very well for parties to de clare their purposes and principles, but under the present open primary system the enunciation of platforms by committees elected on the same day the party nominees are chosen cuts mighty little figure. In the November election the people are going to determine for themselves the men whom they want to servo them not upon wordy resolutions, but upon their qualifications for sensible and efficient administration. Besides, Senator Penrose, Dr. Martin G. Brum baugh and other Republican candi dates long ago made a declaration of the important things for which they stand. One of the difficulties which Ameri can manufacturers will be compelled to overcome is their inability to receive raw materials from Europe which are necessary in many lines of manufac ture. but the genius of our progress as a nation is equal to the task. OFFER OF MEDIATION SECRETARY BRYAN'S announce ment that he has received ac knowledgment of President Wil son's good offices from Austria- Hunga»y, France, Great Britain and Russia was not unexpected, but it does not follow that any of the nations named have accepted peace proposals. It simply means that the United States has been placed in position to be mediator when the lust for blood has run its course by the exhaustion of one or more of the war chests of European countries. The extreme likelihood is that the peace of Europe will be re-established on American soil, as was that of Japan and Russia when President Roosevelt acted the part of go-between. There is just one other possible place for the conference that must precede the conclusion of hostilities—the Peace Palace of The Hague—and there are indications that Holland may be forced Into the conflict, thus elimi nating that. At all events, America, In hourly touch with all parts of Europe by cable and splendidly iso lated from the intrigues of the con tinental capitals, is Ideally situated, and the friendly offers of our govern ment will In all likelihood bring the pacifiers to our shores when they be gin to think of settling their differ ences by other means than the sword. A dispatch states that the Casino at Monte Carlo has been closed. Thus do the industries of Europe go to pot. THE FAIR AND THE SCHOOLS THE managers of the Gratz fair appear to be very much "on the Job." The announcement that Wednesday, September fe, is to be pet apart for the teachers, directors, pupils and patrons of the public schools of Dauphin, Northumberland and Schuylkill counties indicates that they realize the Importance of the fair TUESDAY EVENING. as an educational factor as wet! aa a means of amusement and recreation. The Oratz fair Is one of the moat largely attended exhibitions of the kind in Central Pennsylvania and It can do a vast good if the plans that are outlined for this and future years are carried out. The lateness of the date does not permit of an extensive program this Fall, but next season it is hoped to have athletic contests, to be participated In by students of the tri-county schools, and an exhibition of the work done by the pupils along domestic selenci, manual training and agricultural lines. Time was when the county fair was little more than a community gather ing place, where the farmers and townspeople came together once a year to see the big pumpkins and "canned goods," to bet on the races and be fleeced by the fakirs. This period has passed and the fair is com ing into Its own. The managers have learned that the fair can be made a means of large profits if it is properly conducted—in short, if it fills its full mission in the community and gives its patrons their money's jvorth. I Perhaps no question 'ls more fre j quently asked than "How will the European war affect the United States?" A big problem confronts the people of Wiis country, but cool-headed ness and the exercise of American com mon sense is almost certain to see us through the present situation with an Increase of national prestige and the open door to practically every market in the world. DEMOCRATIC BROILS IT is no concern of the Republican party that the men who have been prating of reform and undying de votion to the people are now en waged in a hand-to-hand encounter lover the loaves and fishes of public (patronage, but the fact that these con troversies exist in every county of the State demonstrates how much of sincerity there is in their noisy profes sions of reform. The multi-million j aires who dominate the silk-stocking element of the Pennsylvania Demo cracy are being called to account with I great frequency nowadays and the signs of trouble are increasing with the passing of summer. Perhaps the most serious diversion Is that of the new Democratic organi zation in Philadelphia, with which such men as Dr. W. Horace Hosklns, president of the Democratic Club, have identified themselves. Dr. llos kins charges that the Palmer-McCor mick bosses, while pretending to fight the "old £uard," are deliberately deal ing with them and exchanging patron age for votes. It is little wonder under the cir cumstances that the Republicans who were drawn away from their party allegiance two years ago, and through that diversion made possible the pres ent administration at Washington, are returning to the colors in constantly Increasing numbers, not only in Penn sylvania, but throughout the country. All the reports indicate a steady breaking down of the factional lines and a vigorous concentration of Re publican forces on the firing line. It must be evident to anyone famil iar with political conditions that the Democratic nominees in this State are out of touch with the rank and file oi the party. The hand-picked candidates are drifting about in an effor| to obtain support, but the vot ers of all parties have reached the conclusion long ago that American prosperity is synonymous with Re publican supremacy and they will take no more chances in Pennsylvania or elsev-here with Democratic experi mentalists. City Commissioner Lynch is a prac tical and experienced official who will doubtless see to it that the paved area of Harrisburg is in first-class condition before the present repair contract and the usual guarantees expire. With the setting up of the municipal repair plant next April It may be expected that there will be less cause for criti cism of the condition of paved streets in different parts of the city. A MERCHANT MARINE SENATOR PENROSE struck a popular chord when in a recent speech he made a plea for the extension of our merchant ma rine. The senator deplored the failure of the United States in recent years to take advantage of its opportunities to develop a shipping that would be Independent of other countries and would be of vast use at a time like the present. He said: The American merchant marine in foreign trade is practically ex tinct. foreign shipping Interests, working through, ostensibly, Amer can sources have thwarted the re habilitation of Americans vessels in foreign trade. Our government has failed to extend protective laws to shipbuilding to compensate for the abnormally cheap European labor. A lack of steady demand for American vessels has demoral ized American merchant marine de signing. building and operating. The American seafaring spirit which achieved such notable suc cess in naval warfare and In the merchant marine has long lain dor mant for lack of American vessels —vessels built by Americans, owned by Americans and manned by Americans. It cannot be expected that Americans boys will maintain the American national spirit or be willing to enlist with any degree of enthusiasm under foreign flags. In the midst of a world-wide con flict, which is likely to Involve every civilized nation except ours, we find that the United States stands at the foot of the list In the amount of tonnage of merchant vessels flying the American flag. The everlasting opponent of -every plan that has had for its purpose the improvement of American shipping has been the Democratic contingent in Congress, not infrequently abetted and assisted by Republicans from in terior States, short-sighted enough to believe that because their districts were far removed from the seaboard they were not affected by anything that had to do with ocean commerce. The present European conflict shows how false is this view. The grain growers of the West are Just as much affected by lack of shipping facilities as the manufacturers of the East. The whole country is demanding a merchant marjne and men of all parties should unite In meeting the need. As Senator Penrose says, the time Is ripe and the opportunity at h£nd. I EVENING CHAT 1 People who will take the trouble to turn back to the newspapers of forty four years ago will find as great a dif ference in the handling of news of the European war as they will notice In comparison of the manner in which war news was handled in 1870 and in the Napoleonic wars. The other day reference was made to the f#ct that the news of the decisive battle of Waterloo was carried by the American papers of the middle of July, 1815, it being considered a very great stroke of enterprise to have the news of that epoch-making conflict printed in New York and Philadelphia one month after the sun of June 18 had set. The two Harrisburg papers of that timt carried It late in July, the news of preliminary butties being sidetracked for accounts of the celebration of the Fourth of July and some talk about our own peace parlours with England. In 1870 the news of Sedan, the de cisive conflict, got to America the same day through the cables and such newspapers as sported a telegraphic news service. The Telegraph got out two editions, although it was Sat urday night, according the three col umns of short otticial dispatches and a 1,800-word description of the battle the place of honor on the editorial page. The news was carried in two single-column heads, one a third of a column deep and the other about half that size. . Both announced the defeat of the French and the surrender of Napoleon, together with some- news from Paris about the fail of the em pire. The news was carried through all editions, the latest being marked "Second Edition" and carried beside the flrst dispatches. The next Monday it carried about three columns sand wiched between advertisements on the first page under the caption "The End of Napoleon." For a week afterward the war news was played tip. but it grew less and less, and not as much was carried in a week as the Tele graph carries in one issue these days. Every dispatch was prefaced with a date line and with a statement as to what line it came from and in some Instances a copyright was carried. The New York Herald appeared to be the leading authority on war news from Europe, as reference is made to Its dispatches Just as is done now to those provided by the Associated Press. It's pretty nearly impossible to get comprehensive books on Germany from any of the public libraries now adays and Harrisburg is#io exception. The State Library has issued'many books on the sub.iect and the demand at the new public library has cleaned out the shelves except for reference books which are not circulated. The same conditions as prevailed during the Balkan war and the acute stagb of the Mexican trouble now rule. The public library's books on the suhlect are all new and up to date and have been taken out again as soon as re turned. Governor Tener keeps in close touch with things at the Capitol difring his vacation and the more important let ters are cleared up by him every day. In fact, the Governor gives as much time to State affairs while in Massa chusetts as he does on some of the slack days here. In summer time there are generally about one and a half days of activity, when chiefs of departments and persons having busi ness make it a business to get around. Then everyone is busy. The rest of the l.ine things rather ease up and the Governor, to use his remark, "reads papers from headline to want ads." He reads the State and local news of about a dozen papers regularly and some days goes through twenty. The result is that he is will posted on what Is going on in every section and can talk to his visitors about their own counties. The papers follow him to Massachusetts. Ex-Governor William. A. Stone, of Pittsburgh, a native of Tioga county, where his early manhood was passed, who has won fame and distinction as a lawyer, has compiled for gratuitous distribution among his friends a series of "Letters to Young Lawyers," which were written by him to his son Stephen, now his law partner. A re view says that they set forth the ethics which have guided the ex-Governor in the practice of his profession and contain advice sound, sage and help ful to young attorneys. Made, a part of the text are anecdotes and remi niscences of the early Tioga county bar, which would likely have been lost to local literature had it not been for the author's foresight in including them in these "letters." Some are familiar tales, and while names aro transposed, yet those who knew the persons referred to have no difficulty in sorting them out. The early Tioga county bar was as rich in anecdote as in legal acumen. The man perhaps best qualified to compile those Inci dents, which ranged from the ludi crous to the pathetic, was Major Alex ander Brewster, of Wellsboro. He promised, after retiring from the office of justice of the peace, which he held for near a half century, to write these for a local paper; but soon after he retired he died, and there would have been lost to local history many of the choicest of these hacj, not the ex-Governor narrated them. f WELL KNOWN PEOPLE 1 —Henry Budd. the noted Philadel uhia lawyer, Is in Milan, Italy, look ing for a chance to start home. —C.

One story comes from the district that the speakers were requested to avoid politics and yet judging from the re ports of the speech, McCormick did not talk much else. On the other hand Ex-Congressman B. K. Focht, of Lewlsburg, although a candidate for congress, did not refer to politics, but discussed the nation's opportunity in the European crisis and talked on patriotic matters. Mr. Focht paid a tribute to President Wilson and ex tended sympathy in the death of his wife. Mr. McCormick was apparently so heated up that he made a politi cal speech. It appears to have been bad taste to say the very least about it. Republican legislative candidates who have been making quiet tours In Cumberland, Franklin, Lebanon and some of the Juniata Valley counties say that conditions are Legislative more favorable to Contests are their election than Growing Warm has been the case In recent campaign s.

And Belgium's capital had gathered then Her Beauty and her Chivalry, and bright The lamps shone o'er fair women and brave men; A thousand hearts beat happily; and when \ Music arose with Its voluptuous swell, Soft eyes look'd love to eyes which spake again, And all went merry as a marriage bell:— But hush! hark! a deep sound strikes a rising knell!

THE CONGRESSMAN ON DUTY [From the New York Sun.] To-day the most pessimistic members of Congress look for adjournment be fore September 1, but this plan con templates the passage, inside of three weeks, of a mass of legislation of the gravest consequence to the nation. Of the desirability of quick adjournment there are not two opinions, but of the danger that now threatens us because of the notorious absenteeism from the House of Representatives little account has been taken. The closing days of every legislative assembly offer In their crowded and confused hours the opportunities sought by those who desire the adop tion of measures that will not stand the test of long study and minute dissec tion. Thus amendments of apparently trivial effect, but actually of far reach ing consequence, then find their chance for approval In a hurly burly that pre cludeg reasonable Inspection. 1 in" " ——rrr mmm SHIRTS SIDES * SIDES I * ■, AUGUST 11,1914.
