SATtTRPAY EVENING. AUGUST 15
M POOR MICK'S BOAST
PARROT-LIKE In one of his stock
paragraphs the Democratic can
didate for Governor, who says he
1s invincible, Insists that he will
clean out Capitol Hill from top to bot
tom when he becomes Governor. He
declares that those who are serving
Pennsylvania now "are conducting the
affairs of the State and are in the
game for what they can get out of it."
This contemptible insult to such
men as Dr. Samuel G. Dixon, John
Price Jackson, Thomas J. Stewart, Dr.
Nathan C. Schaeffer, E. M. Bigelow and
the long line of distinguished, expert
and capable men who are largely re
sponsible for the splendid progress of
this imperial Commonwealth, will be
resented by the people at the polls in
November.
McCormick has shown his real cali
ber in his recent speeches and his dis
position to discredit those who have
been foremost in the State's service for
many years has given the people a
proper conception of his make-up and
absolute unfitness for the great office
which he so strenuously seeks. Nor
have the intelligent people of Penn
sylvania failed to take note of the
egotism which is so large a part of the
Democratic candidate's composition.
What he doesn't say on the stump is
promulgated in his newspaper in this
city.
Modesty is an unknown quality with
this particular candidate. Having
declared himself "invincible" a day or
two ago in a leading editorial in his
newspaper, he announced in another
fulmination in the same personal
mouthpiece regarding the "supreme
wisdom" of the President in the Mex
ico situation that "th« strong position
raken by the Pennsylvania Democracy
was an important factor in the suc
cessful resistance of the clamor for
war."
We shudder to think what would
have become of this nation had it
not been for the McCormiclts and the
Palmers at the Baltimore convention
and the backing up of the President
by the Democracy of a "Btate which
•was promised to Wilson in the begin
ning, but which was given to another
in spite of the divided forces of the
opposition.
After all, it is a good thing for the
people of Pennsylvania that they will
have an opportunity to see and hear
these little men who have already
demonstrated how lacking they are in
experience and the necessary qualifica
tions for great public responsibilities.
Freeze Quick was one of the commit
tee of three which met McCormlck and
Creasy at a picnic in Columbia county.
Sounds ominous.
nrRT FOR FILL
WE don't know what City Com
missioner Taylor, head of the
Department of Parks and City
Property, is going to do about
the use of 20,000 loads or more of fill
ing material which will come from the
big subway at Second and Mulberry
streets in a few days, but we do know
that a very grievous mistake will be
made should he fail to utilize this ma
terial in the completion of the river
front work.
A few hundred dollars more, or less
cuts mighty little figure in the con
sideration of a completed job, espe
cially in view of the fact that "cheap
as dirt" has long since in Harrisburg
ceased to have any value as a truism.
To-morrow will be another day for
sight-seeing along the River Front,
and we commend to the good people
of Harrisburg who are interested In the
permanent treatment of a long
neglected and most attractive feature
of our beautiful city a careful study of
what is being done to make the River
Front a place of attractive interest for
the people and a distinct improvement
from the sanitary standpoint.
OPENING THE CANAL
THERE is reason for a patriotic
outburst in the modest opening
to-day of the Panama Canal
to the shipping of the world.
And Philippe Bunau Varilla may. be
.excused for his emotional letter to the
SATURDAY EVENING. HARJRISBURG (£££& TELEGRAPH AUGUST 15, 1914
New York Sun, which is printed else
where in this paper to-day Thin emi
nent Frenchman had much to do In
bringing about the selection of the
Panama route and his whole aim in
life seems to have been a vindication
of the de Lesseps project and the Ideas
of the French engineers.
It was Bunau Varllla, according to
the Sun, who came to this country and
led the campaign which resulted in
the rejection of the Nicaragua route
and the adoption of that by way of the
Isthmus and it was he who completed
with Secretary Hay the treaty on
which rests the American title to oc
cupancy of the Canal Zone.
Mr. McCormick declared in one of his
speeches, this week, that the revolt
against king rule had received new
vigor, even when that king was a po
litical boss. Strange admission so early
In the campaign.
KANSAS BIJCEDING AGAIN'
KANSAS is doing some more
bleeding. This time over the
alleged imperfect result of the
direct primary system. A cor
respondent, writing to the New Yprk
Sun, says the Sunflower State
has just passed through another
primary farce, this time with the
nonpolltical judiciary lad attached,
and the people are now more dis
gusted than ever. This Is tin? first
time that the women have taken
part in a Statewide primary, and
with few exceptions they are as
thoroughly disgusted the men
are with it. Never before have the
people had so good an opportunity
to see the working of this primary
in Its true light as this time, es
pecially as regards nonpolltical
Judiciary. In one county one of
the judicial nominees for District
.fudge is a bookkeeper, who never
saw the inside of a law hook, yet he
defeated two able attorneys for the
nomination because he was a ;'nice
fellow." There were twelve candi
dates for Supreme Judges—three to
he chosen—and the result is that
some of the ablest attorneys in the
State were defeated, including one
of the present Judges. And under
the old system of selecting judges
of the Supreme Court none but the
ablest attorneys have ever been
nominated or elected.
Kansas is not -the only State that
is disgusted with the alleged reform
Involved in the direct primary. Right
here in Pennsylvania the very influ
ences which were back of the open
primary and the State-wide nomina
tions are the same influences which
are now seeking to overturn the will
of the people as expressed in the open
primary by the withdrawal of the
candidates nominated by the people
and substitution therefor of ambitious
individuals who would catapult them
selves into office by any trick known
to the most disreputable political ma
chine.
Under the old convention system of
nomination parties were responsible
for the men named and it was to the
interest of even the so-called bosses
to put up strong and available candi
dates. Now no one is responsible;
the people are at the mercy of all the
tantrums and machinations and bood
ling of rich and unscrupulous men.
Nor is this all. Out Kansas way, as
in Pennsylvania and wherever the
new primary fad has been introduced,
not only has a great expense been
placed upon the taxpayers, but the
new system has made difficult the man
of moderate means holding a State
office and, as suggested by the corres
pondent of the Sun, "will destroy the
judiciary and disgrace the name of
justice."
Even now the multimillionaires are
striving to get control of State gov
ernments for their own purposes and
all in the name of reform.
There is a time not far away when
the people will come out of their
hypnoUc condition and slam hard the
little men who are strutting about the
State breathing deep of their own
importance and striving hard to fill
the azure vault with their own praises.
Even the Interest of the people in
the great war abroad does not entirely
cause them to forget the proposed river
carnival to be held in this city next
July. Already the suggestion has met
with proper response and definite steps
have been taken by several organiza
tions to participate in the great cele
bration. It is understood that the
Chamber of Commerce will consider the
subject at its next regular meeting.
Those Americans who are now
abroad and praying for a chance to
get home will be strong supporters
of the "Seeing America First" move
ment. It is a safe bet that a good
many million dollars will remain in
the United States for the next few
years which would otherwise have been
scattered through the effete monarchies
of Europe.
It is now stated that work on the
subway at Second and Mulberry
streets is likely to be delayed a week
or two while there are further con
ferences regarding the temporary re
moval of the street railway tracks to
Meadhw Lane. Too much time Is lost
in conferences and pow-wowing for the
good of Harrlsburg. Although it has
been known for weeks that this di
version of traffic would be necessary
the Latin idea of waiting until to
morrow has prevailed. So also In the
coal wharf scheme on the river front.
Half a million dollars in gold
bullion arrived on the steamship
Admiral Evans from Alaska last
night. The gold was taken aboard
at Seward, Cordova. Valdez and
Skagway.
Thus a dispatch from Seattle. Rus
sia must wince when the recollection
of Seward's little real estate trans
action overwhelms her.

I EVENING CHAT 1
Farmers and fruit growers attend
ing the city markets this morning say
there is abundant ground for the pre
diction recently made in this column
on the authority of Dr. H. A. Surface,
the state zoologist, that the price of
fruit of all kinds is going to advance
sharply. Ever fruit grower coming to
the city said that he had more fruit
than in years and that some were de
bating whether It would not be good
business in spite of the absence of any
good prices to invest the money in
picking and packing. Judging from
what these men said, there have been
many inquiries made by commission
men from eastern cities and the bulk
of it has been in the last few days.
This bears out very strikingly the
statement of Or. Surface that the fruit
yield In New York and New England
will be very scant and that the buyers
are getting their supplies in sight for
European trade. They generally have
their ordinary supplies well worked
out months in advance, but the war
has opened possibilities of a foreign
market, which the canners of this
COUBtry are commencing to realize.
Some of the largest growers in south
ern counties say that they have been
approached for prices and that from
all they can learn the. fruits are
wanted by packers so that they can be
put up for foreign trade. The price
of excellent fruit In the markets to
day was low. but it showed signs of
stiffening, and many housewives were
buyers.
Not only are the peach trees in this
section laden with fruit and of a good
quality, but there apptws to be an
extraordinary amount of pears and
plums in sight and the apple pros
pects are good. These trees have in
creased in number very much in this
part of the state, the peach orchards
of the Cumberland Valley helng new
rivals of the famous orchards of Mary
land and Delaware. Some of the
planting has been on a scale that
would have brought disaster to the
owners if the war had not broken out
and opened chances of foreign busi
ness. The Impetus given to fruit rais
ing by the efforts of the State to teach
scientific agriculture has caused not
only the setting out of large commer
cial orchards, but to cause farmers to
buy many trees and to trim up those
which have been bearing for years and
which it was believed had passed their
bearing stage. There are many trees
in all parts of the state which, Dr.
Surface says, can be saved from fire
wood and made to yield good returns
simply by following the rules of prun
ing or "cutting back" which the state
provides free of cost. In Monroe
county, for instance, there are trees
thirty and forty years old which have
been "cut back," cut almost to the
trunk, and which are now In shape to
bear. Some notable examples of sav
ing trees have been reported from
Perry county, too. Dr. Surface having
personally supervised some of the
work and brought about results which
astonished the owners. All of these
efforts in the last half-dozen years
appear to be bringing results now in
this great fruit-raising year and the
indications are that there will be much
money made if the foreign prospects
continue as they are.
Speaking of trees. It would not be a
bad plan for the city authorities to
take into serious consideration the
kind of trees to be grown along the
river front. Harrlsburg is spending a
large sum of money to beautify its
"Front Steps'" and it would be absurd
not to give more attention to the trees.
Those on the bank in the older por
tion of the city "just grow" and there
are a dozen kinds scattered along the
bank, some of them anything but
beautiful, some shutting off views from
the street and others franklv of no
use except to hold the soil. With a
little thought and care the trees along
the river hank, not the park section,
but the bank, can be made ornamental
as well as useful. There are serious
doubts as to either quality in the case
of some trees.
In a short time, probably, a score
of new trees will be planted In Capitol
Park, the planting program of Super
intendent S. B. Rambo contemplating
the use of elms, planes and other
trees which are well fitted for parks.
Most of the trees will be hardwoods,
it having been found that the so-called
"soft topped" trees are not well suited
for parks because of their tendency to
break In storms. The State secured
the aid of one of Its horticultural ex
perts from State College and plotted
the portions needing new trees, the
proper ones being designated for each
place.
If it could be possible to secure
some slips of mulberry trees which
sprang from the Harris tree In Harris
Park it would be a fine thing for the
sentimental side nf the parks. While
the old tree stood there were numer
ous shoots around the stump and some
of them were carried away and
planted. No doubt some of them came
to maturity and there ought to be
some way of tracing them. At least
there should be some mulberrv trees
In the city park down In the old por
tion of the city just as a reminder if
nothing else.
EFFECT ON niU'MBAfGH OF FUSION
[Philadelphia Public Ledger..!
The withdrawal of William Draper
Lewis in favor of Vance McCormick
seems to be seriously considered at
Oyster Bay and in the office of the
former dean of the Law School of the
University of Pennsylvania. If it is
likewise looked upon favorably in the
office of the Democratic State Com
mittee. some arrangement will doubt
less be made for bringing about the
substitution of a Washington party
nominee for some Democrat on the
Democratic ticket in return for Dean
Lewis' sacrifice of his chance of be
ing a martyr to the cause of Mr. Fllnn.
of Pittsburgh. Then there will be that
Democratic-Progressive fusion about
which much has been heard for weeks
past.
The avowed object of this dicker is
to consolidate the opposition to the ab
horrent methods in this State Rut so
long as there Is not consolidation all
along the line, this object may be re
garded as merely a pretext under cover
of which the bolting party is to make
a retreat so that It may not disclose
its weakness in opposing an invulner
able candidate. The strength of Doc
tor Brumbaugh is so great and his
acceptability to Republicans of all
kinds so manifest that a bolting Re
publican. running as » Progressive, will
find It difficult to get the support of a
corporals guard. Dean Lewis is evi
dently aware of tills and the Colonel
Is doubtless convinced also. Indeed, 110
one with any knowledge of the condi
tions prevailing here can fail to per
ceive that Doctor Brumbaugh, running
again.st a strong candidate, will poll
practically ail of the Democratic op
position votes. What few Democrats
joined the bolters from the Chicago
convention In 1912 will go back to their
party allegiance and support McCor
mick and the former Republicans will
return to their allegiance. As one of
them has written to the Colonel, Mr.
Brumbaugh Is in sympathy with all
the really practical progressive ideas
and ideals.
It will be fortunate for him if the
fusion plan can be carried out. for then
all those who believe in putting a
strong, clean and able man in the Gov
ernor's chair, a man who Is and alwavs
has been his own master, will have the
opportunity to rally to his support annd
vote their Republican convictions with
out the confusing side Issue of a Pro
gressive candidate detracting from the
significance of the outcome. Rut
whether Dean Lewis withdraws or not
Doctor Rrumbaugh will be elected by
a handsome majority.

BULL MOOSERS ARE
SPLIT OH FUSION
Some Think McCormick Should
Show His Sincerity For Reform
by Withdrawing Himself
LEWIS MEN ARE CHESTY
Believe Their Candidate Would Be
a Better Fusion Nominee
Than the Harrisburger
Men who led the Progressive party
in this State in 1912 are showing a
decided disinclination to turn their or
ganization into a tail to the Demo
cratic kite and some of the friends of
William Draper Lewis have suggested
that instead of the dean retiring Vance
C. McCorniick should prove his desire
to defeat the Republicans by getting
off the Democratic ticket and allowing
Lewis to be the fusion candidate for
Governor. McCorniick has all along
been proclaiming that he is in the tight
for principle and not for personal
power. Just as he did when he took
part In the reorganization of tho
Democratic party, and, recalling how
he agreed upon himself to run for
Governor, the Lewis people are in
clined to allow him to prove his sin
cerity and disinterestedness by getting
out of the race himself.
Dean Lewis yesterday left his friends
in Philadelphia discussing the situa
tion and went off to resume his cam
paign, speaking in Carbon county and
invading Lehigh. To-day he is at the
l>ig Progressive reunion in Lehigh and
his line of procedure does not look
much like fusion. In fact. It is inti
mated pretty strongly in Philadelphia
that the dean does not think he should
he sacrificed for McCormlck's am
bition. The friends of Lewis say that
he Is the man because of ability and
singleness of purpose who should he
chosen as the fusion candidate for
Governor rather than McCorniick, who
is already handicapped by a record
of bossism and a fat "kampaign kitty."
In addition to hard times sweeping
the Sixteenth Congressional district,
caused chiefly by the change of ad
ministration from
Re pub 1 ican to
Democratic policies, Northumberland
the latter party Patronage Has
leaders have been Made Trouble
instrume nt a 1 in
causing much dis
satisfaction. notably in the matter of
patronage. Congressman John Lesher,
who chiefly handed out the plums in
Northumberland, Montour, Columbia
and Sullivan counties, is being round
ly condemned by disappointed aspir
ants who have vowed to work against
his candidacy for re-election with all
the power they can develop. Friends
of ex-Judge Clinton Savldge are also
particularly grieved over his defeat
for the Democratic Congressional
nomination in this district and they
feel Lesher should be defeated for the
good of the party. His Republican
opponent, Charles Robins, Mt. Car
mel, is losing no chance furthering
what he and his large army of follow
ers believe is the best chance in a
long time to have the district turn
into Republican control. In many
years it was only held twice by Re
publican Congressmen—Monroe H.
Kulp, Shamokin, and once by Dr. E.
W. Samuel, Mt. Carmel.
The fusion emissaries were busy
yesterday. "Farmer" Creasy left the
speaking caravan to pull some wires
and Bull Moose leaders
from various parts of
Wire Pulling the State went down
Goes On All to record their senti-
Over State ments with State Chai
rman Detrich so that
they could be trans
mitted to the bigger bosses. Some of
the leading men up the State fear that
fusion would mean the wiping out of
the Washington party and that if the
Democratic bosses got control of the
Stutc government the Bull Moosers
would be left high and dry. The very
life of the Washington party is at
stake and as Flinn and some others
have made large investments in it
some are curious to see if they want
to throw them away. Men acquainted
with the personality of McCormick
are against fusion.
A Washington dispatch on fusion
says: "Colonel Roosevelt is engaged
in finding a way out of making cam
paign speeches in Penn
sylvania this fall. Pro
gressive members of the Creasy and
House from the Keystone Palmer are
State are convinced of Hard At It
this fact and pressure is
being brought to bear on
the Colonel to change his mind.
"Bull Moosers here say the Colonel's
cancellation of his Scranton engage
ment is fair warning what they may
expect. It is their belief that Colonel
Roosevelt- does not want to antagonize
Republicans of the Keystone State and
believes the best thing he can do is to
lind it convenient to not include Penn
sylvania in his speaking Itinerary.
"William T. Creasy, candidate for
Lieutenant-Governor on the Demo
cratic ticket in Pennsylvania, is carry
ing on negotiations with the Washing
ton party looking to fusion on the gov
ernorship. Representative A. Mitchell
Palmer, senatorial candidate, it is un
derstood, is working through Creasy
to bring about a coalition-of the Demo
cratic and Washington party forces."
