THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST IS
CAMPAIGN ETHICS
PRESIDENT WILSON and Dr.
Martin G. Rrumhaugh, the Re
publican candidate for governor
of Pennsylvania, are sitting in
the shadow of the greatest bereave
ment that can come to any man. Their
eorrow has been respected generally
by men and newspapers of all parties.
Partisan rancor and criticism of a po
litical nature have largely disappear
ed. Sympathy has been tendered from
political friend and foe alike. All bar
riers of party have broken down and
respect has been shown these two dis
tinguished men on every hand.
But there has been one exception.
Not satisfied to follow the example of
Its Republican contemporaries who
ceased immediately on the death of
Mrs. Wilson all criticism of the Pres
ident's official acts, a newspaper in
this city, whose owner is the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor, filled
an editorial on this lamentable event
with abuse of the men and newspapers
which had honestly differed with the
President's policies. It was less con
siderate of the President than were hts
alleged opponents. But how deeply
and sincerely concerned was the own
er of the newspaper in question was
shown in a continuation of his own
political activities without an hour's
cessation.
Nor has he shown any sympathy for
his leading competitor. Dr. Brum
baugh, who has been spending the
period of immediate bereavement far
from the disturbance of political
events and out of reach of the petty
baiting of the little men who are
more concerned about their personal
ambitions than they are over the sor
rows and griefs and bereavements of
their fellowmen. Mr. McCormick has
been demanding in his newspaper with
petulent frequency that Dr. Brum
baugh, sitting in the loneliness of his
great loss, shall make answer to the
raucous insistence for some kind of a
declaration on what he stands for. un
mindful of the fact that months ago
in the primary campaign the dis
tinguished Republican candidate—who
will be the next Governor of Pennsyl
vania in spite of the dealing by Presi
dent Wilson's own handpicked candi
date with the enemies of the adminis
tration—made a manly declaration of
his principles which was so satisfac
tory to the people of Pennsylvania
that there is no doubt in the mind
of the average person about the out
come of the gubernatorial race in
Pennsylvania this year.
Hinman says he has "no deal or
dicker" with Colonel Roosevelt. May
be not, but we suspect he has a pretty
fair understanding.
Of far more momentous importance
to the school boy than the outcome of
the present war is the rapid approach
of September 1.
MOVING PICTURE CENSORSHIP
BY upholding the law creating the
office of moving picture censor
in Pennsylvania the courts have
sustained the right of the State
to pass upon the quality of the pic
tures shown within the borders of the
Commonwealth and to eliminate all
that may be regarded as objectionable
for one reason or another. Without
this power the government would fee
unable to prevent the flood of sa-j
laciousness that threatened some time
since to engulf the moving picture
world.
Makers of "movies" have been'
steadily Improving their films, it is
true, but there are, nevertheless, many
who are willing to appeal to the sen
satton-huntlng portion of the public
and to garner the nickels of to-day
regardless of the future. It is to guard
the public and legitimate producers
from such as these that the censor
ship became necessary.
It is difficult to understand, how
ever, just how two moving picture'
Inspectors are to be expected to pass
on even- one of the films shown in
Pennsylvania. Judging from the
large number of new reels brought
into the State every twenty-four
hours, their task will be well nigh
physically Impossible. Either some
of the films will have to be approved
without having been seen or addi
tional help will have to be employed.
It will not do to injure the business
THURSDAY EVENING,
of the moving picture managers by
holding up Alms Indefinitely until the
inspectors find time to pass on them.
With a glut of wheat in the country
why are we compelled to pay a dollar
more a barrel for flour? The answer
might lie in an investigation of pres
ent food prices by our famous "lower
cost of living" administration.
V.'VCIiK SAM'S OPPORTUNITY
AS 10 developments growing out
of the great European war are
more closely studied by Intelli
gent students of world move
ments, it becomes more apparent that
the creation of a merchant marine
for the United States is absolutely
necessary for the future prosperity of
this nation. Discussing the changes
which are inevitable in the markets
of the world an expert says:
To a certain extent the condi
tions to-day offer to the I'nited
States much the same opportunits
that oame to Kngland during tne
Thirty Years War. During that
war England by its isolated posi
tion was free from invasion and
profited by doing business with the
warring nations to suca an exten *
that at the close of the war she
was the world's financial a ?l^
clearing house and controlled its
maritime commerce as well.
The present wars offer the oppor
tunity to the T'nited States for
morchandlsiiiK with Kurope, inrlua
injzr Enarland, that England enjoyed
during the Thirty Years War, and
lamentable though it may oe to
profit financially or otherwise by
the misfortunes of other nations, it
becomes our duty to ourselves to do
everything that we ran to prevent
stagnation in finance and com
mere*. The attentions and energies
of our people should be directed to
supplying the needs of the Euro
pean Powers and to provide means
and transportation for our products
to those countries: all of which will
stimulate business at home and at
thp close Of the war must leave all
of Kurope duly Indebted to the
T'nited States.
To-day at Washington there is be
ing held a conference to consider
ways and means for Increasing the
revenues of the government to make
up tho deficiency In receipts caused
by the cuts in customs and revenue
resulting from the European war.
This probably means increased taxes
for the people of the United States
as their contribution to the war on
the other side of the ocean.
These conditions have forced our
statesmen to consider without delay
some moans for increasing the ship
ping of this country and the facilities
for transporting our commerce and
manufactures to the open markets of
the world. Our flag should be seen
in every port, and it is almost certain
that the present conflict In Europe
will result in an entire change of the
situation respecting the shipping in
terests of the United States.
Says the Philadelphia Public Led
ger: "This 'is no time for molly
coddles, and least of all a period
when Americanism should hesitate to
vindicate its rights and place in the
world We have no sympathy with
timid publicists who tremble lest the
acquisition of foreign ships by Amer
icans would involve us In interna
tional entanglements. The United
States Is not prepared to abandon its
historic principles and sacrifice its
prosperity for such a bogy."
One thing about a vacation is that
wi> are never compelled to tell the folks
at home anything but the pleasant side
of it.
OLD-FASHIONED FLOWERS
THERE is a residence along the
river road that attracts the ad
miration of all who pass that
way. It is no more beautiful
than many of its neighbors, nor are
its grounds more spacious. Its charm
lies largely in a wealth of old-fash
ioned flowers that wave and beckon
in the breeze and cast their perfume
on the air for a great distance round
about. It leaves a memory that lin
gers long after the architectural beau
ties of more imposing houses are for
gotten.
And this gives rise to the question
—why do we not have more of these
old-fashioned summer annuals in our
public parks? They are easy to grow
and cheap to plant. A dime's worth
of seed sown in the springtime yields
a wealth of beauty In midsummer and
autumn. They require little attention
and are, for the most part, prolific
bloomers.
Lord Bacon it was who said that
one might tell pretty well the month
of the year by a glance around any
well ordered garden. He wrote: "I
do hold it in the royal ordering of
gardens, that there ought to be gar
dens for all months in the year, in
which severally, things of beauty may
be then In season."
Our park authorities have done
pretty well in this respect, insofar
as shrubbery and other perennials
are concerned, but we are woefully
lacking in old-fashioned annuals.
Why not turn a few of those English
militants loose in Germany?
GOING DOWN!
THE sales of beer in the United
States for January. February,
March, April. May and June of
1914 have In every case been
less in volume than for the corre
sponding months of 1913.
The decrease in January was 267,606
barrels, and in June, which shows the
smallest decrease, the figures were
15,250 barrels. The net decrease for
the first six months of 1914 over the
same months for 1913 was 827,494
barrels, or approximately 410,337,000
drinks.
This may or may not be significant
in view of the rapid increase of "dry"
territory and the oft-repeated asser
tion that "prohibition does not pro
hibit."
About this season of the year we
come to a full understanding of why
financiers call It "cutting a melon."
The Belgians, we are told, were
driven out of the town of Umburg. By
the Germans or the cheese?
"War is hell," said Sherman, but
what ls now going on in Europe would
make even the devil blush.
Bv the way, what has become of that
Ulster revolution?
ITVENING CHAT 1
"The prico of peaches and other
fruits, which are so abundant in the
fruit-raising counties of Southern
Pennsylvania this year, may be low
now, hut there will be a jump In
price before long, due to the failure of
the crop in the northern part of the
state and in New York and to the
further fact that Europe will be de
manding our canned fruits before the
year is out." This was the way State
Zoologist H. A. Surface summed up
the situation in regard to fruit prices
to-day. He has been visiting many
counties and has reports from others
which indicate the conditions pretty
closely. The southern part of Penn
sylvania has such great crops of. fruit,
especially peaches, that some growers
are not picking because of Inability to
get prices they consider worth while,
says Dr. Surface. There are manv
orchards which are so full of fruit that
It will be an embarrassment to the
owners and the commercial orchards
are crowding each other to get good
markets. The fruit now being sold in
the state is from Maryland and Dela
ware and is abundaait and cheap. The
Pennsylvania fruits will come next and
they will end it. In the northern
counties the yield is reported from
reliable sources as very small and io
show very poor prospects in New
l ork and New England, due to the
frosts. These domestic conditions will
cause the prices to stiffen soon, holds
the doctor, and then Europe, which
will lose the greater part of the ordi
nary fruit crop this year because of
the war, will soon be drawing on the
I-nited States. "The wise people."
says the zoologist, "will put up plenty
of fruit because they will save money
by It In the coming year."
.The war fever has gotten into the
children these days and there are con
stant references to the strife now rag
ing in Europe among the youngsters
who play games on the open lots.
hen one wishes to address an oppos
ing player he calls him a Frenchman
or a German or an Austrian, accord
ing to the sympathies of the talker.
A good many youngsters are just now
styling themselves Belgians in their
play, indicating pretty conclusively
the admiration the people of King Al
bert s kingdom have arousfd because
of their fighting qualities.
The hard rains of the last few davs
have caused a lot of work to be done
oyer again h>> the working force of the
State Highway Department and some
washouts have occurred In places
where large supplies of stone were
employed in repairs only a short lime
before. Some of the washouts have
been due to the fact that the roads
had to go without inspection or re
pairs last fall and spring, causing
weaknesses which became very appar
ent when the rains came.
Speaking about the effect of rains
the men employed by the Highway de
partment in the Allison Hill district
have a task every morning after a
ran. It Is along the streets which
skirt some of the sloping highways.
Eighteenth street near Derry is a good
illustration. There are a couple of
streets which rise above it to Nine

j EDITORIAL COMMENT]
It is accepted at Washington and
apparently throughout the country,
that the extravagances of to-day mark
the possible minimum of governmen
tal cost. It is assumed that no bu
reau, no department, no expert, no
clerk can be dispensed with, and that
the sole solution of the problem is the
collection of more taxes from the peo
ple of this country.—New York Sun.
The present tariff should ho abro
gated until further notice, and a gen
eral and special increase of 25 or 50
per cent, decreed. American senti
ment will not countenance an increase
in domestic taxes with no increase in
tariff rates. If there must be an in
crease, it must be general. Away with
free wool and reduced sugar duties,
which American refiners have already
absorbed for their own gain. The
levy on raw wool should be at once
restored. The sugar industry should
be rehabilitated while there Is yet
time.—Philadelphia Public ledger.
DEMOCRATIC HARMONY
Lancaster News: George Harris, a
Fulton county banker, according to
gossip at Harrisburg, is slated for the
office of collector of internal revenue
for the Ninth district. Mr. Harris is
said to be the personal choice of Vance
McCormick, Democratic candidate for
Governor.
Columbia Independent (Dem.) : The
President has signed the bill restoring
the Ninth revenue district, and now
Collector Kirkendall will go hack to
Scranton before the dog davs end and
a country banker named Harris, from
McConnellsburg, Fulton county, will
be named for the Lancaster district.
He ls to get the plum because he lives
in a strong Democratic county and it
polls about as many Democratic votes
as does Columbia borough. It gave
Wilson 1.080 votes. 18 less than it
gave Bryan In 1908.
From the above it will be seen that
The Independent was about right in
Its prognostication. Lancaster falls
behind but one county in the Ninth
district in its Democratic vote and
Fulton is a tail-ender. However, it
will be the proper thing to give the
plum to Fulton county on account of
its immense Democratic vote and to
maintain the equilibrium of things as
they have been all over the State.
Fulton county backed by Harris as
collector may poll for the state ticket
this fall about 660 votes, and that will
be splendid, not to say wonderful.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
DOCTOR KREIBER
SAID TO BE WEARY
Bull Moose Candidate For Congress
Not Hurting Himself in the
Campaign Now
DEMOCRATS ARE HOPING
Fusion Reports Do Not Appear to
Have Brought About Any
thing Very Definite
One of the stories that is roaming
around among politicians these Au
gust dr *'B is that Dr. J. H. Kreider,
clerk in the Auditor General's De
partment and Washington party can- 1
didate for Congress, may see his way
clear to retiring as a candidate before
long. Friends of the doctor are cross
ing their hearts and saying it is not
so, but rumor persists that Kreider,
seeing no earthly show of defeating
Congressman Aaron S. Kreider for
re-election, is not inclined to hurt
himself running this fall.
One of the stories going in connec
tion with this highly Interesting rumor
about one of the few men able to hold
a job in the Capitol and run for Con
gress at the same time is that bosses
of the McCormlck machine are hopin„
that D. L. Kaufman will take it into
his head to retire as Democratic can.
didate and that Kreider will quit about
the same time and thus enable the
machine to name the Democratic can
didate for Congress and get the Bull
Moosers to endorse him. It will be
recalled, however, that the McCor
mick machine was unable to nominate
C. 11. Prizer for Congress when it went
before the people, Prizer being de
feated by Kaufman, who ran his own
campaign, unfettered and unfinanced.
Whether Kaufman will retire is as
problematical as whether the bulk of
the Democrats would stand for
trafficking with followers of Roosevelt
who denounced the national adminis
tration.
Democrats of the machine stripe
are expressing the hope in Philadel
phia that fusion will be accomplished
and a lot of under
ground work is being
Fusion Still done by emissaries of
I'p in the the badly rattled McCor-
Kluc Skies mick Democrats and the
scared Bull Moosers to
get some kind of a com
bination that will save McCormick
from a frightful defeat and prevent
the showing up of the weakness of the
Washington party in Pennsylvania.
Dean Lewis' visit to Oyster Bay yes
terday evidently did not lead to much
becauso he is to speak to-morrow in
Carbon and Saturday in Lehigh coun
ty. AVhat McCormick wants is to get
on both tickets and his coterie is will
ing to let him have the high place
and pay the bills, the scheme being to
put Bull Moosers on the rest of the
ticket. Fusion on senator is regarded
as unlikely because Democrats and
Bull Moosers are at odds on national
policies. McCormick is willing to put
up liberally for a campaign fund and
that sounds attractive. But just how
Democrats can unite with adherents
of Roosevelt, who slams the national
administration, is hard to understand.
On the subject of fusion the Phila
delphia Public Ledger this to say
in a Washington dispatch:
"I do not see that
there is any possibility Washinston
of fusion on United Story Puts
States senator and the Doubt On It
State ticket," said Wil-
liam Flinn in response
to a question. "Our politics differ so
widely that it would be impossible for
us to accept a Democrat to lead our
ticket. We believe in the protective
policy, and there can be no compro
mise on this principle. This gulf sepa
rates the Democrats and Progressives."
"What about all this talk?" he was
asked.
"lt has been more of a hope than a
serious talk," he replied.
"Then you say there will be no
fusion ?"
"That is my belief."
"Won't there be fusion on congress
men in certain districts?"
"X do not see where, but there will
be fusion on candidates for the State
Legislature."
Representative A. Mitchell Palmer
returned to-day after a week's ab
sence due to Illness. He. too, ex
pressed the same view on fusion as
did the Progressive leader, saying:
"As I have said so often before. It will
be a fight to the finish. The only way
there can he fusion is by the Progres
sives accepting myself as their candi
date for United States senator," said
Mr. Palmer.
An Oyster Bay dispatch about the
visit of the Dean to Sagamore Hill
reads this way in part: "Just what
passed between Colonel
Roosevelt and Mr. Lewis
licwls Will could not be learned.
Speak to but it is understood that
His Friends a definite decision on
the course to be fol
lowed will be reached
soon after Mr. returns to Phila
delphia and has a chance to talk over
his conference with the Progressive
leaders. It can be stated, however,
that no matter what advice may be
given by the leaders. Colonel Roose
velt will take no drastic step to force
Lewis off the ticket, and that if fusion
is arranged it will be because Lewis
consents after the situation been
carefully canvassed. If fusion oomes,
as now seems likely, nothing will in
duce the Progressives to Indorse A.
Mitchell Palmer, the Democratic nomi
nee for United States senator."
POLITICAL SIDELIGHTS
—Speaking of machine picked
tickets, what is the Palmer-McCor
mlew-Creasy ticket?
—When it comes down to consist
ency the stock ran out long before
McC'ormick broke into Democratic
politics.
—lt must have been great to hear
Creasy rap jingoes. lie was their
grand old phonograph when he was In
the Legislature.
—No wonder Creasy is willing to
fuse. The orchard is calling him. And
there's more money In that than run
ning for office which he can never get.
—State Treasurer Berry was also
a speaker at Boiling Springs to-day.
—Candidate McCormick is up with
the farmers in Columbia county to
day, probably telling how ho followed
the plow.
—The Mercer county Democratic
committee endorsed the ticket yester
day and they will be given consid
eration when thfi, financial arrange
ments are made.
—McCormlck's Idea of reorgan
ization of the State government is to
name Democrats to replace such offi
cials of national fame as Dixon. Stew
art, Schaeffer, Smith, Jackson and
scores of others equally able and
efficient. That is what his speeches
.sound like. ,

By Winn Dinger
What has become of all those things
We read so much about:
They seem to have been lost some
where
E'er since the war broke out.
For Instance, night and day folks
talked
About the baseball team.
And doped out how 'twould land the
rag, |
But now they cease to dream.
And there's the scrap we almost had
In Mexico, but now
That country is forgotten for
The European row.
Sir Thomas Upton and his yacht.
And other things galore,
That furnished news a few weeks back
Give way to news of war.
But one thing's certain, war news will
Be shoved In a back seat
When the world's series is begun
And pennant winners meet.
CONGRESSMAN SUSPECTS
SPECULATION IN HIGH PRICES '
Representative J. Hampton Moore, j
of Philadelphia, has introduced in j
Congress a resolution calling upon the !
talkative head of the Department of |
Commerce to report upon the specu- j
lative increase in the cost of the neces- '
saries of life. Commenting on the .
situation Representative Mooro said: !
"The present uplift In prices Is due j
to the manipulation of speculatora. \
Undoubtedly the Secretaries of Agri- j
culture and Commerce have given
some consideration to a question that ■
so vitally affects the material comfort ,
of the people of the United States.
Something should be done to relieve
this situation.
"I am informed by Louis J. Kolb,
, head of a big baking concern in Phlla-

delphia, that there is no sound reason
! for the advance in the price of flour.
Mr. Kolb has just returned from
Europe. He advised me that the coun
tries will not be required to call upon
us for food supplies for months to
I come.
"Ho said, further, that this country
la better prepared to export wheat
than ever before, with the wheat crop
Just harvested being larger by more
than 100,000,000 bushels than that of
last year. Mr. Kolb asserted that It is
nothing short of a crime to raise thn
price of flour now, that elevators are
loaded with grain and that much of it
will not be shipped abroad for a long
time to come.
"He attributes the rise in wheat to
speculation by brokers. Mr. Kolb said
that with the stocks of Hour now in
sight there should have been no in
crease in the price for at least two
months."
"Bitter complaints against the up
lift in prices come from my home city
of Philadelphia," said Representative
Donohoe. "The people there are feel
ing the situation keenly."
The Moore resolution, which is
typical of the group, recites that
crops are so abundant that they are
glutting the market owing to the in
ability of exporters to get their prod
ucts across the sea and that despite
this prices are advancing to ruinous
figures.

DON'T WORRY
Don't worry though above your head
The threatening storm clou , meet.
The rainbow as of yore shall spread
Its sign of promise sweet.
The flowers fled when winter gray
Proclaimed again his cruel sway.
Yet early blossoms smile and say,
"Don't worry."
Don't worry, though the noontide

Your footsteps faltering,
The morn't glad hopes left far be.

ihe day its joy shall bring.
When sunset's radiant curtains fail,
Sleep's angel, ready at the call
Of night, shall whisper low to all,
"Don't worry."
Don't worry though with little good
Your eager quest seem fraught,
He that has striven as he could
Has striven as he ought.
Ask not how destiny was planned,
The little that we understand
Is eloquent with the command,
"Don't worry."
