AUG. 19 RIVFR FRONT PARKS FOR several weeks Park Commis sioner Taylor has been nego tiating with one contractor and another with a view to making available the large quantities of ma terial which will be excavated at Sec ond and Mulberry streets for the fill ing out of the narrow stretches along the river front in the northern section of the city. But he seems to-day to be just where he started on the propo sition and unless some plan can be worked out between now and the first of September it is probable this large quantity of filling matter will be lost to the city and serve no purpose other than the filling of quarry holes or waste places that can do the people no good. In view of the fact that the appro priation of SIOO,OOO for the completion of the park is available for the river strip it ought to be possible to find some way to utilize this large amount of material now in sight and which is needed so badly at this par ticular time to complete the river front improvement. How the dirt shall be hauled to the stretches where it is needed is a matter of detail and the great necessity for completing the river front improvement without fur ther delay justifies immediate steps beinsr taken to this end. One proposition after another has been submitted to the City Council, but, none having met with favor, it is now up to Park Commissioner Taylor to make the best arrangement possible without regard to the method to be used in transferring the dirt from the proposed subway to the places where it is needed. Unless the slope is put in decent shape the large sums which are now being expended for the construction of the retaining wall and the wide granolithic walk at the foot of the slope will be in a measure wasted insofar as the appearance of the river front is concerned. Until the slope shall have been properly graded and planted to prevent erosion the walk and Eteps will he constantly covered with dirt that is certain to be washed down the slope with every heavy rain. Commissioner Taylor has been so em barrassed by the shifting propositions of contractors and the impossible conditions of their proposals that he will now be warranted in going ahead on any reasonable basis that will make this great quantity of dirt available for the completion of the river park in the northern section of the city. Many of the newspapers throughout the State have taken up the cudgel against the proposed crippling of the State Constabulary by the withholding of an appropriation by the next Legis lature. Candidates for the Legislature who have pledged themselves not to favor this appropriation are hearing from their constituents much more vig orously than could have been antici pated when the radicals who are op posed to the constabulary made their move some time ago. As a matter of fact the State police is quite as popu lar in the quiet rural districts as in the Industrial centers, because It is In the widely-separated rural communities that some of the best work of the con stabulary has been done in ferreting out horse thieves, highwaymen and other undesirables. STATE CONTROL OF GUNS HO. WELLS, writing from Lon don, suggests that a great # step toward the realization of the dream of universal peace shall have been taken when the na tions of the world unite to forbid the manufacture of arms for private gain. There is more in this than might at tirst appear. Certain noted manufac turers of guns in Europe have waxed enormously rich through the growth of the military spirit in Germany and elsewhere. The Krupps of Germany are more than a mere manufacturing organization. Their shareholders, their paid agents, their spies and their personally conducted newspapers, it ha* been repeatedly asserted, have all used their influence to indue* the ruling powers of Europe to buy guns. Guns of all descriptions are their stock in trade and how successfully they have plied their business is illus trated by the fact that our own. by comparlsan, beneficent Standard Oil WEDNESDAY EVENING Company is a pygmy beside the great iKrupp organization. Crush Krupplsm, says Mr. Wells, < and you will have done much to curb i the military spirit, not only In Ger-' many, but in all Europe. Remove prl-! vate gain from the manufacture of arms and there will he not much in- ! ducement for gunmakers to promote armed peace, which leads almost in- 1 evitably to just such tragedy ns is now being enacted on the plains of Bel-1 glum and in the mountains of Alsace. President Wilson's proclamation to the people of the United States, advis ing strict neutrality not only in con duct, but in speech, is a wise and timely message, which ought to exert a re straining Influence upon the hot-heads , on this side of the ocean, who may take sides with one or the other of the fight ing nations of Europe. Uncle . itn's only Interest is that of a good neighbor, who would act as peacemaker between the warring peoples, but who will take no other part in the conflict. AVAR! THE Philadelphia Evening Tele graph publishes letters from Hungarian and Austrian women to friends and relatives in Amer ica. They set forth as no press dis patches could the horrors of the great war into which all Europe has been plunged. They give one a glimpse behind the battle lines, of shattered home life, of ruined prospects, of the ashes of fond hopes, of breaking hearts. Addressing her letter to "Dear Joe," a Hungarian woman writes: I am afraid that when you have re ceived these lines your brothers will no longer he numbered among the living. Arapad was summoned to the army on July 23.—They took him, 1 don't know where. Alex ander, who, as you know, is 37, was taken from me on the 26th. 1 am alone in the whole house, and don't know what to do. Arapad even re proached me when he was taken away with not having gone to America. 1 would like to have you here, but for what? To have them take you, too? The Kovascek fam ily came from Pest yesterday, cry ing because Eugene and Julius were tsken bv the soldiers. Every body wishes they were In America. If it lasts much longer I will go crazy. Everybody is sad here in Budapest. Everybody Is crying; everybody has lost somebody. Classic language never painted a more graphic picture than this poor woman has penned In the disjointed phrases with which she tells of her sorrows and misfortunes. Another writes: Poor people are starving. They can't raise enough money to buy j bread. People are reproaching themselves for not having emi grated to America. Everybody rrles all day long. The privation is horrible, horrible. People are sick with excitement and exposure. War is not hell only where the bul lets hum—lts horrors extend to the uttermost parts of the earth, deso lating hearthstones far from the scene of conflict and making widows and orphans of women and children who by every right of God and man are entitled to the help and love of hus bands and fathers. Is It to be won , dered at that these women—left to | mourn at home —give up their loved ones unwillingly, call down curses on the ambitious rulers who have raised the cry of war and cast their eyes enviously toward the peace and free dom of America? I Colonel Roosevelt's declaration I against fusion in Massachusetts Is taken by his followers in Pennsylvania to indicate his attitude toward the pro posed doubling up of the Bull Moosers and Democrats In this State. It Is be lieved that the whole fusion game has been engineered by the Democratic re organizers who realize that they are due for a big hump and want the Roosevelt men to pull their chestnuts out of the fire. PROTECTING THE FARMERS THE efficiency of the State De partment of Agriculture is again demonstrated by the prompt action of Secretary N. 13. Critch field in laying plans to protect the farmers of Pennsylvania from unscru pulous dealers in fertilizers. The war In Europe has cut off the German im ports of potash and as this ingredient is an important factor in the com position of all the commercial fer tilizers, its omission would work great injury to the farmers using the de ficient article. . Years ago farmers were at the mercy of the dealers. They had to take ilie merchant's word for the con tents of the fertilizer and tons upon tons of worthless sand were sold. Tn recent yearS the Department of Agri culture has put a stop to this practice and now. with a shortage of potash, the Secretary is taking time by the forelock by removing temptation he fore the manufacturers are induced by the unsettled condition of the mar kets to violate the rules laid down for them by the Legislature. This action alone will save the farmers of the State, it is believed, more than the entire expense of operating the De partment of Agriculture for the cur rent year. . - Penroseism sounds big as a political issue, hut why not McCormicklsnj or Palnierism or Wllsonlsm or any other kind of ism that will sound Just as pon derous and be Just as reasonable as the alleged issue of the reorganizing Demo crats, who are hoping to conceal their personal ambitions behind a lot of po litical dust. "Hand-picked Governors of political bosses" sounds well from a candidate who was chosen by three men, and one of them himself. But consistency is a rare Jewel in some quarters, especially when a consuming ambition dulls the faculties and clouds the vision. SUGAR PRICE SOARING IT is unfortunate foi- the Democratic party that the war happened so long before the November election. The Washington administration had hoped that the industrial disturbance resulting from the war in this country and the raising of the price of food stuffs would all be charged to the European disturbance. But now comes the official Journals of the several industries most affected with facts and figures to show that the war has simply emphasized and aggra vated the conditions brought about by the tariff changes of the Democratic administration. Especially 1b this true with respect to the price of sugar, the sharp advance in the price of this commodity being due largely to the shutting down of American sugar plants owing to the removal of the protective tariff. But the people are learning every day and not even the excitement of the war is going to shut their eyes to the facts. Gifford Pinchot, the Progressive can didate for United States Senator in this State, Is to ha\e the assistance of his bride In his campaign. Thus do we progress. I EVENING CHAT 1 The Explorers' Camp, held this year from August 4 to 14 at Pine Grove Furnace. Cumberland county, was one of the most enjoyable of the forty three annual outings of this noted or ganization. Among the many pleasing features of the camp is the receipt of letters from members who are unable to be present. Last year a dam was built by the "boys'' lor bathing purposes and the following' letter was received from Colonel P. William Kroehllch, who is now located at Lincoln Neb.: "Oh, say did you see what we wrought by our might? What we built in the way of the cool waters streaming? How we tugged at the rocks! And the beams were not light! But the DAM that we made set our eyes all abeamlng. Then we lay down to dream, till the morning's first gleam Should wake us to joys of a dip in the stream; But when morning came we had fits of despair; For the pool had seeped out, though the DAM was still there. "The 'bosses' were gathered in bunches to look On the zeal and good-will of re newed efforts mighty. And the waters grew deep in that cool, shady nook, Till Jackson declared: \How I'd loveto duck Whitney!' Then Miller shoved Jackson right into the pool And when he caught breath, said: 'See here, you DAM fool! I'm older than you, but can lick you, I swear!' And Miller vamoosed while the 'DAMN' was still there. "Now concealed by the trees on the banks of the steram From the eyes of the curious the fair pool reposes. For a new DAM was built, one to stay, it would seem. And the calk that was used didn't smell like June roses. But conquer we must, for we'd no bathtub trust And thus was our motto—'We'll make it or bust!' And three rousing big cheers at last rent the air, For the water was held by the DAM THAT WAS THERE." —Tune of "Star Spangled Banner." The Rev." C. G. White, who has recently suffered from a severe opera tion, was with the party and the out ing was of great benefit to him as well as a great pleasure to his friends in camp. The Explorers have extended formal thanks to the commissary, Colonel M. R. Rhoads, and his assist ants and to Colonel J. H. Shank, chairman of the committee of ar rangements, for his care of the camp ers. Fisher, Nead and Schriver were the hard workers of the camp. "They never . lifted their eyes from their work." The "Colonels" are gladly looking forward to their forty-lourth camp in 1915. Three young men went up to a soda liar last Sunday and each ordered a live cent drink, one man standing treat. But the clerk rang up three nickel sales on the hash register in stead of one fifteen cent sale. "Why " asked the host of the party. "Slow day," said the clerk. "Several excursions out of town to-day and a lot of people away beside that. We're doing mighty little business this after noon. 1 ring up every sale; it looks bigger at the end of the day even if it doesn't mean large receipts." Dr. William C. Miller, of Bedford, traveling tuberculosis lecturer of the State Department of Health, has a typical story of campaigning in the wilds of Pennsylvania; it was a per sonal experience a dozen years ago when the doctor was running for State senator, an office to which he was twice elected. "I was traveling alone,' he said, "and came to a backwoods cabin about noon when I was tremendously hun gry. I knew the man of the house only slightly hut he asked me t<\ stay for dinner and I did. He got to talk ing about my opponent, who had been along that way the previous week and who also had stopped for dinner. I soon discovered that my host had some sort of a grouch against the oth er fellow. 'He's too stuck up,' he went on to explain. 'I don't have much time for these dudes. Doc. Do you know what he wanted Why, when the pie came along for dinner he actually asked for a fork.' "About that time," concluded Dr. Miller, "our pie came along and you Just ought to have seen me shoveling it in with a knife. And I didn't ask for a clean knife, either." City Park Commissioner Taylor is finding the much-needed park bench es in many out-of-the-way places. Re cently eighteen or twenty of these benches were recovered from an iso lated island off Hamilton street and near the Cumberland shore. They were associated with several empty beer kegs bottles, indicating that somebody had had a midnight papty. It has been necessary for the Park De partment to fasten these benches to posts driven into the ground. Other benches were recovered from en tirely different place where they were doing those who frequented the parks mighty little good. Sometimes the gentlemen of the City Council, •'ho are also the heads of the various departments, Imagine that their efforts are not appreciated, but could they hear the comments of approval from time to time they would likely be better able to properly weigh the kicks which come from thought less sources. For instance, the beauti ful flowers on the North street side of the pumping station has won as much commendation for Commissioner Bow man and his force as anything else that hcS been done by that depart ment. There is also much praise for the new fountain Installed In Front street, near the lily pond, another at tractive feature of the pumping Na tion's environment HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH ALL COMMITTEEMEN GET INSTRUCTIONS County Chairman Horner Sends Letter of Interest to Republicans • DATES FOR ASSESSMENT Now Is the Time to Prepare Forj Great Victory in Novem ber, He Says W. H. Horner, chairman of the Dauphin county Republican commit tee, has sent the following letter to, all of the county committeemen: "It is of the utmost importance that every Republican voter in your dis- , trict be assessed on or before Wed- , nesday. September 2, 1914, in order i to insure his right to cast his ballot | on Tuesday, November 3, 1914. "He must also have paid within two years a State or county tax, which shall have been assessed at least two months and paid at least one month before the election. The last day for the payment of taxes in order to vote at the general election is Friday, Oc tober 2, 1914. "Get in touch with your assessor and tax collector and then see that every Republican voter is properly qualified to cast his ballot on Tuesday, November 3, 1914. This preliminary work is very essential and NOW is the time to prepare for the great bat tle of the ballots and insure a Repub lican victory. Remember the dates'. "Last day for assessment: Wed nesday, September 2, 1914. "Last day for payment of taxes: Saturday, October 3, 1914. "General election, Republican Rally Day: Tuesday, November 3, 1914. "Get busy'—mobilize your forces now and we will .administer a crush ing defeat and annihilate the enemy on Tuesday, November 3. "Very sincerely yours, "W. H. HORNER, Chairman." The virtual truce, which the Bull Moose leaders have declared in their campaign has revived talk that fusion ' with the Democrats wili be seriously dis- Bull Mooscrs cussed in the near fu at Standstill; ture. Each party to Fusion Talk the proposed amalga- mation is, however, waiting for the other to take the initial step and each Is maneuvering for tactical advantage. Dean William Draper Lewis, on whom most attention is directed, because un der the proposed fusion jilans he would be expected to retire as a guber natorial candidate, has left off his speech making. He is in Maine and will remain there until the close of next week. Gifford Pinchot, senator ial candidate, is now on his honey moon. He has engagements to speak in this city at early morning meet ings before industrial establishments on Thursday and Friday of next week. It is expected that Mrs. Pinchot, who has been active in the Progressive movement, will accompany her hus band on these trips and that she may even make some addresses. Chairman Detrlch, of the Washing ton party State committee, is at his home in Chambersburg. The Bull Moose speechmakers, however, have no out-of-town engagements until the beginning of September, when they are scheduled to appear, as are the Republican and Democratic cam paigners, at Williams Grove. Congressman A. Mitchell Palmer,] the Democratic candidate for the Senate, is outspoken for fusion on the basis of elimina ting Mr. Lewis, the Bull Moose candidate for Palmer Has governor and the com- His Own Plan bination on the Demo- For Fusion cratic nominee, but not on his own retirement from the senatorial race in favor of Gifford Pinchot. Announcement is made of the appointment by the Pal mer-McCormick League, the reorgani zer organization which offset tho Old Guard Philadelphia City Committee of John W. Glover, as chief clerk. Glover formerly served in a similar capacity with the Ryan State cam paign committee. [EDITORIAL COMMENT! The czar is not the first monarch who in the emergency of war has ap- I pealed to "My beloved Jews."—Phila | delphia Record. Every improved road brings the farming area it penetrates nearer to | the market for farm products by cut j ting the cost of transportation." Bad i roads are a bar to business going and coming. Investigation by the Depart [ ment of Agriculture shows that in some specified Virginia counties where road improvements have lately been made agricultural production was in creased in two years to the extent of 49 per cent. The saving effected in hauling alone would pay a dividend of 46 per cent, a year upon the cost of the improved roads. Philadelphia Record. AS "GIRARD" SEES IT [From the Phila. Public Ledger] Draw an imaginary but crooked line from Harrisburg to Philadelphia. Having done that picture on the south side of the line two continuous rows of soldiers, elbow to elbow, reaching all the way. Facing them is another double line, elbow to elbow, each man occupying | but two feet of space. Every 130 feet you may imagine a cannon on the north side and another cannon on the south side. Crumpled up into masses these two double rows of soldiers would each make 1 2 separate armies such as Lee led to Gettysburg and 12 more armies like the one with which Meade faced him there. No wonder the French War Minis ter says there may be victories and de feats for both sides along that Bel gian-French frontier. When the real battle comes it will be many separate battles at many separate points far removed from each other, but all with one central object. The telephone operators, rather than the couriers on horseback, will be the legs of the opposing command ers. But when it all comes down to the final analysis it will be the amount of killing and wounding each can in flict that will push the bleeding mass back toward Berlin or forward toward Paris.

POOR HOUSE STEWARD DIES John Whitmeyer, steward of the county poor house, died yesterday af ternoon with typhoid fever. THE ANGLO-JAPANESE ALLIANCE [New York Sun.] The ultimatum of Japan to Ger many is like that of Austria to Servia in that the demands were manifestly drawn with the deliberate intention of making compliance impossible and war certain. The first thought In every impartial mind will be of the outrageous brutality of this proceed ing on the part of Japan at a time when the German empire is fighting for life against three of the greatest of the world powers. The second thought will be that Germany, in the hour of her distress, is reaping what she sowed twenty years ago when the kaiser, for his own purposes, stepped between the new young power of the Far East and the fruits of her victory over China. What would have happened if Ger many had not then earned the Im placable enmity of Japan? The ques tion is of considerable interest to the people of the United States. What ever reasons for deep concern there may be in Japan's entry Into the war of the nations as Germany's adver sary, a state of affairs with Germany and Japan allied and co-operating might be Immeasurably worse for our prestige and possessions in and beyond the Pacific. r UAMII4BTEIia («■ 1 SHIRTS SIDES & SIDES 1 AUGUST 19, 1914.
