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

being enacted on the plains of Bel-1

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

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

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 |

"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

The virtual truce, which the Bull
Moose leaders have declared in their
campaign has revived talk that fusion

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

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.

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.
