MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 17 WANTED —TRIED MEN P ISP HA PS no feature In the pres ent contest for United States Senator in this State Is so con spicuous as the demand of the people for experienced men In public station. We have had so much of political hysteria and insincere propa ganda that the people are surfeited with fake reform and now insist upon constructive and substantial work. This fact counts more largely than any other one thing In the increasing strength of United States Senator Pen rose. He has demonstrated over a long period of years his familiarity with the needs of Pennsylvania and without frills of any sort he has con tinued to stand at Washington for the policies that have always counted in the prosperity of this imperial Com monwealth. Wherever he goes nowadays Senator Penrose finds among those who are pledging him their support men who frankly admit that they have not been on his side for several years. These do not hesitate to say that they have learned through severe personal ex perience that statesmen and not theor ists are now required in the counsels of the nation. Business men declare openly that they are for Senator Pen rose because they believe him to be. qualified as no other individual In Pennsylvania Is qualified to represent this State with all Its great interests at Washington; that the election of one not ln touch with the needs of Pennsylvania would be a positive menace to Its future prosperity and development. This name attitude Is observed on the part of the tollers of the State who have discovered through a woeful experience that theories do not fill the dinner pail or clothe their chil dren. Impractical and visionary lead ers succeeded in misleading a large part of our population, but a great light has broken upon thousands of voters who have learned for them selves that theory is one thing and practice Is another. Senator Penrose doubtless realizes the personal hostility of a few men to himself as a party leader, but indiffer ent to their bitter attacks he is going on hia way meeting the people, talk ing with them, and learning at first hand the conditions which have come about through Democratic fallacy and the free-trade experiment. There are great masses of men who had been acting out of harmony with are Republican party and who are say ing little about their Intentions, but who will give vigorous expression to their views at the ballot box in November. No doubt remains of the election of all the Republican nominees in the general upheaval against an adminis tration of the affairs of the country which has been so disastrous to its welfare. Colonel Roosevelt Is strongly of the opinion that the Monroe doctrine has been largely responsible for our peace with the world. He pointed out In his Hartford speech Saturday night that without this safeguard we would prob ably now be at war owing to the dis position of foreign countries to colo nize on the American continent. The Colonel also took a fall out of the worthless treaties which have been snapped as a Bplder's web during the last two weeks. He stands for a navy that will mean business and which will prevent the encroachment of the out side nations. CONTROLLING OURSELVES BEFORE the French Revolution France was divided Into three classes, or "estates"—-the No bility, the Clergy and the Com mon People. We cannot close our eyes to the fact that In America to-day, as far as money matters are concerned, society Is again divided Into three classes — the Rich, the Poor and the Great Middle Class, neither rich nor poor. The very rich have their troubles, such as unwelcome publicity and the annoyances and insults of agitators of one kind or another, to say nothing of the burdens imposed by the care of their fortunes and the enforced main tenance of an elaborate scale of living. The disadvantages and discomforts of poverty aje too well known to need more than mention as we pass on to consider the sorrow* of the Great MONDAY EVENING. Middle Class, to which the great bulk of our citizens belong. At the present time this large part of our population Is being ground, so to speak, between the upper millstone of the necessity of keeping up appear ances and the nether one of the high cost of everything. Our grandmothers wore calico dresses costing not more than 75 cents. It would now take the price of ten to twenty such dresses to buy a hat for one of our daughters in the high school. What Is more significant, our grandmothers earned the dresses themselves by working perhaps a whole week at housework. Do our young girls earn their hats? Of course, times are different and we don't expect our young daughters to earn their millinery. But the fact remains that the present generation must pay exorbitantly for its clothing. There seems to be something like a conspiracy between the designers and the manufacturers of women's hats and dresses to prevent the develop ment of a standardization of styles. Every year brings a radical change In cut, color and texture, compelling the purchase of complete new outfits unless a woman wants to be out of style, which is nothing short of a calamity from the feminine point of view, or the masculine either, for that matter. This is one thing which for the time is beyond our control, but there are many others involving our expendi ture of money which we can regulate, and doing so is the only hope of eco nomic salvation for us of the Great Middle Class, for by so doing we are enabled to save some of our resources and build up a reserve fund the earn ings of which will eke out our own. Those who are wondering about the high cost of sugar might inquire why the Democratic tariff reformers de stroyed the American sugar industry for the benefit of the foreign sugar In terests who are now unable to supply the demand, compelling the American consumers to pay war prices. SUGAR PRICES REDUCTION of the tariff on | sugar Is blamed directly for the present prohibitive price of that commodity by Facts About Sugar, the official organ of the beet sugar Interests in the West, ac cording to a dispatch from Denver. This is something new. We have long realized that the Democratic low tariff has not brought with it the promised reduction of prices, but we had not suspected that it was directly responsible for advances. However, t is argued that with a protective tariff which would Induce the develop ment of beet growing sections, the nited States would not be at the mercy of the world's market and would be able to supply itself with sugar, irrespective of European and Insular producers. The article in part follows: hal^esuftpH 6 of . war ln Europe sugar prices » sharp advance In Russia SL i J Germany, Austria, f " s f la an <3 trance, the nations nc chwy ® nKaKed ln conflict, are the chief sources of Europe's sucnr 7 500 000 fmf U C t u® to £Pther some <»DImj,UUO tons of bfOt SUirar Thla (D sugar * cron WW™ TJ"- to'ti? tng* coun'trv' of e' I®' 1 ®' ®"Eal-'-Import ,,uw involved in war with «v.<» 40,000 tons wltt,ltMl l 6 S n?

The enemies of the people" and "friends of high prices" were "making their last stand," we were told. Now that the actual conditions out lined by those who knew the sugar business a great deal better than the little men who framed the tariff bill have come to pass, how can the Demo crats responsible for the Underwood law hope to dodge blame for the present high prices of sugar? There Is no doubt that all the canoe ists of the city win enter heartily Into the plans for the big river ca'rnival which will take place to celebrate the completion of the River Front Im provements on the 4th of next July. Carnival associations should be organ ized during the winter in order to work out comprehensive plans for the biggest day since Old Home Week. UNCLE SAM'S CHANCE WE print elsewhere to-day a most interesting speech by James Keeley, editor of the Chicago Herald, before an advertising association of that city. His keen observations respecting America's opportunity in the foreign trade field are worth reading. If there Is one bright gleam out of the war cloud abroad. It Is the opportun ity of an enormous trade expansion for this country. Those who are able to speak by authority declare from official statistics that out of three countries ln South American there could be diverted to this country or ders for goods amounting to almost $500,000,000. In short, the prodigious loss to Europe In the way of trade would result ln an increase for Uncle Sam of over two billions a year. It is stated that the entire export trade to South America from the whole world Is worth about $900,000,000 and that we should capture practically the whole of it. In addition, the far Eastern markets are being opened to us as never before. It's not going to be possible for the Democratic bosses to escape under cover of the dust of the European war. Within the next few weeks the people will have learned that the war In Eu rope has simply aggravated a condi tion which ought never to have ex isted in this country. ["EVENING CHAT] Governor John K. Tener, who fin ished what will probably be his last big public function before next Janu ary, when his successor will be inaug urated, when he Inspected the Na tional Guardsmen at Mt. Gretna on Friday, has made a record in sharp contrast to one made by ex-Governor Edwin S. Stuart. Mr. Stuart never put on his high hat to officiate at any ceremony that It did not rain. Mr. Tener did not get his silk hat wet once. Friends of the Governor are congratulating him upon his record and asking him If he hopes to inaugu rate his successor In a day as bril liant for sunshine as that upon which he took the oath of office. It seems that, barring his inauguration day, when showers fell after the cere monies, all Mr. Stuart had to do was to put on his high hat and the weather man did the rest. It rained on him when he reviewed the troops at camp, It rained when he spoke on various occasions when procedure and proper dress required a high hat, and it rained when he went away to dedi cate mounients. Incidentally, a story is told on Capitol Hill, of how on one occasion, when he hoped to es cape the ducking which appeared to come whenever he appeared with the silk tile, fate spoiled all hopes, in Winchester a monument was being dedicated and the Governor was rid ing from the site wearing his high hat and enjoying the pleasant South ern sunshine. He had referred earlier in the day to cloudless sky when he put on his hat. Everything was lovely and the station was in sight when a hose used for sprinkling the street burst beside his carriage and show ered everyone. Thus far Governor rener has missed the rains, although he has worn his high hat when occa sion has demanded it. Half a dozen Germans and some men who looked like Austrians, but who spoke an outlandish dialect, were at Lnlon Station on Saturday night J 1 ? V »? ry mucll disgusted state. They had been summoned to return for war service and some time ago had packed up, kissed their friends good by and started for New York. They waited around New York for a time an .,. found that the ships had quit sailing for their lands. Most of them used up what money they had keep alive while waiting for ships, and as there were no accommodations tney Just came back to Pennsylvania and were headed for the coal regions to go to work in peace. The golden road is commencing to make Its appearance along the roads nea,r the city, and some splendid specimens of the typical American flower are to be seen within a few minutes walk of the built-up portion. The golden rod makes a most attrac tive autumn decoration and the won der is that It is not more generally employed. Some of the stalks to be seen along the roads are four feet high. The last week or so has brought more people to the city on automo bile parties than in any previous pe rod this summer, and judging from what they tell the hotel clerks, it is because the roads are being put into shape. The enforced cessation of maintenance work last Fall cost this city a large amount of patronage, be cause the highways toward Fall got into a state that made traveling any thing but enjoyable. But the High way Department appears to have wrought wonders in many localities in spite of the short time it has been at work, and travel is booming with hundreds coming to Harrlsburg to see the State Capitol and to look over the city. Folks on Capitol Hill are congratu lating E. A. Jones. Deputy State Highway Commissioner, on the issu ance of a patent to him and his brother, John E. Jones, for an auto matic stoker which will solve a prob lem that has long vexed manufactur ers and others who use the fine coal recovered from washeries of anthra cite. An Immense amount of carbon has been wasted because the very tine coal, some of which Is ln minute particles, puts out most of the fires on which it is employed. It has a ten dency to become so closely packed that there Is no air space left. The stoker invented by the. Messrs. Jones will feed the coal and spray it over the surface of the fire evenlv and in such quantity as to aid combustion. has been tried out in Scran'ton where the waste dust from washeries! which is much smaller than buck wheat coal, has long been wanted for fuel. Some of the grocers of the cltv have been victims ef practical jokers since prices began to fluctuate and they have to be on the watch for hoaxes. The other day some jokers called up a grocer in one of the outlying dis tricts and, taking the name of a rival began to give him tits for cutting the price of sugar. As a matter of fact both had advanced It and talked about going up some more. The "other man" fired back that he heard that his rival had been doing some cutting in other lines, and for a time there were sharp Interchanges Then the Jokers got the man they had im personated on the telephone and started to "jolly" him. He got mad and called up a third grocer and complained about the wav he was being treated. Just then the jokers got No. 3 grocer on another tele phone, using the name of the man who was talking to him. The first grocer will not believe that he was being "kidded" yet.

"DECENCY IX POLITICS" [From the Harrisburg Patriot.] "Such a beast as Penrose.'' "False as hell." "This politician of the dunrhill." "Spita hla venom at the President," etc., etc. GARRISBURG TELEGRAPH FHIU COUNTY GREETS PENROSE County Will Give Republican Ticket Substantial Majority at No vember Election M'CORMICK IS GOING SLOWLY Unable to Make Much Impression; | Dean Lewis Continues Ac tive on the Stump • ' Franklin county will give a substan tial majority for the Republican State j ticket and It is a question whether Democrats or Bull Moosers will run second. This was demonstrated on Saturday when the Penrose party spoke at half a dozen places and re ceived the greetings of many men who | had been active in various insurgent movements, the welcomes extended to the Senator being in striking contrast to the manner in which the Demo crats lined up by bosses received the McOormlck party. The tour of the county by Penrose, was too much for McCormick and he also invaded Franklin, going to places where he liope(| that his " presence would arouse some Interest. He found the Democratic machine in bad shape find so rusted and disjointed that it is doubtful if financial lubricants can get it back into running order. Senator Penrose, ex-Congressman Focht and others spoke at Chambers burg and Dry Run. being well re ceived everywhere. McCormick trailed along and being prevented by the rules of Dry Run from making a speech broke loose at Chambersburg. Among other silly things he did was to "chal lenge" Dr. Brumbaugh to tell if he was for the remainder of the Repub lican ticket nominated with him at the May primary. Senator Penrose's speech at Cham bersburg was a vigorous denunciation of the men who are assailing the Re publican party after having been its bene- Penrose Hits ficiaries. He did not Hard at the pay any attention to Machinists McCormick, which probably accounts for the savagery of the Democratic candidate's newspaper to day. The senator went after William Flinn and other Washington party men in the home town of A. Nevin Detrlch. who is the chairman of Flinn's machine committee, and it is believed that from now on he will give the Pittsburgher something to think about. The senator also plans to make some remarks about the Democratic machine's workings, the post office appointments having been under in vestigation lately. The senator is to speak at on Thursday, which will be a big time in Iyebanon county. Democratic machinists who have been hoping: for fusion in order that the defeat of their State ticket may not be so overwhelming were given a jolt by the Bull Moosers on Satur- Tjetrls Keeps day when the whole Actively On State ticket, with excep- the Stump tion of Gifford Pinchot, who was fretting mar ried on that day. turned out to make speeches at the Progressive rally in Lehigh county. The rally was not attended by more than 600 persons, but the sentiment appeared to be dead agafnst any fusion with the embar rassed Democratic machine. Dean Lewis was the chief speaker and no indications of ceasing his activity on the stump. Many of his hearers urged him to remain on the ticket and fight the Democratic administration, which has been denounced by Roose velt. I POUnCAI SIDELIGHTS I —Unbiased accounts do not agree with the Patriot's story of the visit of McCorniick to Franklin county. —State Chairman Morris and Con gressman Palmer are letting McCor niick do all the hard work. —When it comes down to slate mak ing McCormick ought to know. —Warren Worth Bailey, the con gressman who proposes the land tax, is an ardent Democratic reorganizes —State Chairman Morris' weekly statements read like Patriot editorials. About as foolish, too. —The Democratic caravan will start at Danville on Wednesday. —The Philadelphia Democratic city committee answered the machine on Saturday by putting reorganization members in back seats on all com mittees. —lt will be nleasant to watch the whole bunch of Democratic State can didates when they get together.

THROWING AWAY 850,000,000 REVENUE [Philadelphia Public Ledger] The clearest lesson of the war Is that the United States must not con sent to abandon the sound protective policy Intended to make It sufficient unto itself. The war interrupted all trade with Europe. It has deprived lour manufacturers of material with out which they cannot operate. Some have already closed and others must shut down unless a way is found to ob tain the needed materials. The tariff policy of the present ad ministration, however, was based on the theory that there was to be no war, that the avenues of trada were to be open continually. It was on this theory that the pro gressive reduction in the sugar duty was arranged. When the final and last reduction takes effect the domes tic sugar Industry will disappear, just as when the first reduction became effective the thriving and prosperous beet sugar business was hit a stag gering blow. The production of sugar in the continental United States will be a thing of the past If this policy Is allowed to reach its ultimate consum mation. The leaders In Washington should come to their senses in time to pre-| vent that disaster. If they cannot re verse themselves on the question of principal they can easily turn about' face on the question of policy. The country Is confronted with a serious falling off In the revenues from the tariff because of the cessation of Im ports. Sugar, however, comer from the countries with which trade can be malntilned. For the purpose of con serving the revenues, the sugar du ties should be restored at once. If this be done the revenue of $50,000,000 produced will cover nearly 40 per AUGUST 17, 1914. cent, of the apprehended deficit; i oreover a protective and revenue producing tariff on sugar will preserve the prosperous cane industry of Louis iana and will encourage the beet sugar growers to continue to produce their profitable crop for the supply of the home market. THE BATTLE OK BLENHEIM (August 13, 1704) It was a summer evening— Old Kaspar's work wus done. And lie before his cottage door Was sitting in the sun; And by him sported on the green His little grandchild Wilhelmlne. She saw her brother Peterkin Roll something large and round Which he beside the rivulet. In playing there had found; He came to ask what he had found That was so large and smooth and round. Old Ivaspar took it from the boy, Who stood expectant by; And then the old man shook his head, And, with a natural sigh— '"Tis some poor fellow's skull," said he, "Who fell in the great victory. "I find them in the garden. For there's many hereabout; And often, when I go to plough, The ploughshare turns them out; For many thousand men," said he, "Were slain ln the great victory." "Now tell us what't was all about," Young Peterkin he cries; And little Wilhelmlne looks up With wonder-waiting eyes— "Now tell us all about the war. And what they fought each other for." "It was the English," Ivaspar cried, "Who. put the French to rout; But what they fought each other for I could not well make out; But everybody said," quoth he. "That 't was a famous victory. "My father lived at. Blenheim then, "Yon little stream hard by; They burnt his dwelling to the ground. . And he was forced to fly; So with his wife and child he fled, Nor had not where to rest his head. "With Are and sword the country round Was wasted far and wide; And many a childing mother there, And new-born baby died; But things like that, you know, must be At every famous victory. "They say it was a shocking eight After the field was won— For many thousand bodies here Lay rotting ln the sun; But things like that, you know, must be After a famous victory. "Great praise the Duke of Marlborough won, And our good Prince Eugene." "Why, 't WHS a very wicked thing" Said little Wilhelmlne. "Nay. nay, my little girl!" quoth he, "It was a famous victory.. "And everybody praised the Duke Who this great light did win." "But what good came of It at last?" Quote little Peterkin. "Why, that I cannot tell," said he; "But 't was a famous victory." —Robert Southey.
