FUSION SCHEMES
WE may expect almost any day
to hear of the fusion of the
Democratic and Washington
parties of this State in so far
as the bosses of the two organizations
fcan force the combination. McCor
imick, as the fusion candidate for Gov
ernor, is to be permitted to pay the
bills, which will relieve William Pllnn,
itbe astute leader of the Progressive
irlng, who is tired of the financing. Be
sides, Mr. Flinn is no tyro in politics
land doubtless sees the finish of the
DBull Moose propaganda in Pennsyl
vania.
Robert D. Dripps, chairman of the
Lewis campaign committee, practically
throws up the sponge in his declaration
ithat fusion "is about the only way
(anything substantia! can be aecom-
Jpllshed." Chairman Morris, of the
(Palmer - McCormick wing of the
[Democracy, likewise says he "notices
a growing sentiment among the rank
and file of both parties for fusion in
Xhe State."
The voters of these two parties who
participated in the direct primary
nominations under the impression that
a great reform had been achieved and
that the bosses could not longer die-
State nominations will soon see how
(futile are such reforms when am
fcitious men choose to nullify what the
(voters have decreed. Perhaps there is
no better evidence of the utter hope
lessness of the opposition to the Repub-
Bican nominees than the hit and miss
attitude of the men who are now en
deavoring to get together to save their
faces through a fusion arrangement.
[Palmer and Lewis and Flinn and
tethers prominent in the two parties
jhave declared over and over again
that under no circumstances could the
and Progressives fuse, be
cause the things for which they stood
(are as wide apart as the poles. It has
Eot been forgotten that in his Pitts
urgh speech Colonel Roosevelt de
nounced the Wilson administration
fcnd all its works.
Notwithstanding all this, the am
bitious men who are proceeding on
jthe assumption that parties are simply
toolitical assets for the bosses are now
about to veto the direct primary law
pnd set up their own candidates in
Itheir own way.
It remains to be seen what the
(voters will do at the November elec
tions, but those who have been observ
ing the trend of public opinion during
khe last few weeks can have very little
fdoubt about the overwhelming defeat
lef any possible combination under
Tuch circumstances.
REPUBLICAN SENTIMENT
THE unofficial Republican con
vention of the State of New-
York was useful in a national
way In calling attention to the
trend of public sentiment in the' mat
ter of the policies of the Wilson ad
ministration. Here is a plank adopted
regarding the business interests of the
Country:
We assert that the legislative
policy of the Democratic national
administration has been deliber
ately sectional as well as hostile to
the great Industrial communities
of the country and particularly to
the State of New York. Its tariff
eglslation has been framed In ut
ter disregard of reasonable and
fair protection to American labor
and American Industries, and In
reckless refusal to avail of the
benefit of expert Information gath
ered by the tariff board, which was
created by the Republican Congress
and abolished by the Democratic
Congress.
Great numbers of American em
ployes have been thrown out of
work and Immense losses have been
caused to American industries, so
that domestic markets have been
turned over to the products of for
eign countries. The pledge of the
Democratic party to reduce the high
cost of living has lamentably failed
of fulfilment. 1
The convention also denounced as
sectional In Its intent and provisions
th» banking and currency law, which
It alleges, has placed in the hands of
the national government an unprece
dented power over the financial op
erations of the country and opens
[facilities for inflation of the currency,
■which, unwisely of recklessly em
ployed, would lead to widespread
idlsjuster.
It was also the concrete sentiment
the representative Republicans of
the Empire State that the Wilson ad
ministration is now engaged In an
,effort to force through Congress legis
lation giving to the federal govern-

merit a vast, undefined and inquisi
torial power over all the business ac
tivities of the country, destructive of
the fundamental principles of freedom
of labor and opportunity and that pro
tection of property to seoure which
governments are established.
Government Interference under the
present national administration has
undoubtedly paralyzed both capital
and industry, because capitalists dis
trust and fear the administration and
Irresponsible public officials with arbi
trary Inquisitorial powers are prying
into the private affairs of business
men.
Another important feature of the
convention's deliberations was the
adoption of a plank calling for the
re-establishment of the party nomi
nating State conventions. On this
point the convention speaks as .fol
lows:
We reaffirm our declaration in
the platform of 1912 In favor of the
retention of the State convention
and the direct election of delegates
to such conventions, with the right
of party electors to directly ex
press their preference for nomina
tions for State officers if they so
desire.
There can be no doubt of the grow
ing sentiment throughout the country
against the wide-open primary owing
to th'e unsatisfactory results in the
States which have tried the experi
ment. Right here in Pennsylvania
at the present time the group of indi
viduals who have been exploiting the
voters for their own purposes and who
demanded the direct nomination of all
State officials are now engaged in a
plot to reject the nominees—or some
of them—of the open primary and
themselves make up a ticket which
will suit their purposes.
Senate Librarian Herman P. Miller
has Issued Smull's Legislative Hand
Book for the current year, and It Is
surcharged, as heretofore, with Im
portant facts and compilations which
are as necessary almost as our food
and raiment- The Senate Librarian and
the Assistant Secretary of the Senate,
W. Harry Baker, have been compiling
this important State document for many
years, and never has their work been
done better than In the present volume.
No library In Pennsylvania, public or
private, is complete without this book.
It Is admirably printed, and In every
way Is a credit to the compiler.
WAR SIMILARITIES
HISTORY never repeats Itself In
detail of occurrences, but there
would seem to be. sufficient
similarity between the events
of one period and those of another to
Justify the old adage. For example,
there are some Interesting compari
sons between the conflict now being
waged in Europe and the old Roman
wars.
In the year 58 B. C., the king of
the Germans, one Ariovistus, rose in
his might and attempted to dictate
to the surrounding powers of that
time, even as Emperor William Is said
to have done. How far this compari
son will hold in the events of to-day
remains to be seen, for the haughty
conduct of Ariovistus brought utter
annihilation to his armies and the de
feat of his government.
Another similarity that may be
noted is that the Belgians have lost
none of their old*time fighting quali
ties. The soldiers who have stood
persistently and successfully for
nearly three weeks between the Ger
man forces and those of the allies
are descendants of the Belgae, of
whom Julius Caesar speaks so flatter
ingly in the chronicles of his wars In
Gaul. The Roman conqueror held
them In high respect as fighters. He
•writes of them: "Most of the Belgae
are sprung from the Germans; they
are the only ones who, when Gaul
was in a turbulent state, were able
to prohibit the Germans from en
croaching on their lands. • » • •
They are the strongest of the three
parts of Gaul."
The storm of last night has demon
strated more forcefully than any argu
ment the danger of undermining trees
in paving and underground work.
Many of the finest trees of the city
were laid low because the heavy roots
had been destroyed or weakened. It
is by reason of this danger that there
Is so much opposition to the proposed
construction of a large water main
through the River Park.
CAMPAIGN ECHOES
WE are told in a dispatch from
Reading that H. B. McCor.
mlck. a brother of the Demo
cratic candidate for Gov
ernor, rounded up his county chair
men of the fourth division and had
another nice little party. But those
present missed the dainty refresh
ments and social features of the first
conference at his country residence.
However, they were regaled with
stories of the uprising of the people
In behalf of brother Vance and the
usual resolutions were adopted de
nouncing the State Highway Depart
ment and the Republican organization.
These thrilling conferences will be
held at frequent Intervals during the
campaign. One of the dispatches
states that "the chairman character
ized the situation as rosy." It was a
hot day and he probably had refer
ence to the flushed faces of the per
spiring county bosses.
From another quarter came-a dis
patch stating that brother Vance in a
tour of Northumberland county had
met several Republicans who said they
could not vote for tho "tainted ticket"
this year and would support him.
Nothing was said about tainted watch
ers or tainted voters or the tainted
primaries that had made it possible
for the choice of President Wilson to
run his little race for Governor and
speak his little piece before the em
battled farmers of the Commonwealth.
MUNCHAUSEN TAXES
SOME hair-raising stories are com
ing out of the censored atmos
phere of the European imbroglio.
Jules Verneand Baron Munchausen
had nothing upon the modern war
correspondents who are making up in
vivid imagination what they lack In
facts. For Instance, we read to-day of
the'daring escape of a French military
aviator as described by a Paris news
paper, This French hero was com
pelled to drop with his machine, ow
| Ing to a breakdown, was imme
dlately surrounded by a German lieu
tenant and his men, but that never
phased the aviator, who simply burned
tho machine, shot the German lieuten
ant and. Jumping on the horse of the
German officer, escaped.
Another French aviator was cap
tured by Uhlans near Alsace, but did
he surrender; he did not. When one
of his captors aimed point blank at his
heart he moved and the bullet only
broke his shoulder blade, whereupon
the Uhlans rode away, thinking he
w-as dead. The French writer con
cludes with this thrilling sentence:
Using his revolver, he shot two
German officers and took their hel
mets. He managed to struggle back
to the camp, where he had an en
thusiastic reception.
All that was necessary to make the
story complete was a statement that
the wounded aviator had escorted the
German army Into Paris at his heels.
I EVENING CHAT I
Dealers in toys and department
managers of some of the big stores
who were on the anxious seat awhile
ago in regard as to where they were
going to get their supplies of amuse
ment devices that are to be found un
der the Christmas tree on the great
festal day, may take heart from the
optimism of one dealer In all sorts of
things for the little ones, who believes
that Yankee Ingenuity will solve the
problem. "For a long time," this
merchant said, "we have depended
upon the Germans for our mechanical
toys, but I have assurance from a
friend of mine who is in close touch
■with some of the toymakers through
out New England, in fact is a close
friend of a leading Lynn maker of
toys, that the Yankees are already
putting several experts at work on
the task of creating new mechanical
devices to amuse the younger genera
tion."
J. V. W. Reynders, vice-president
and general manager of the Pennsyl
vania Steel Company, is now regarded
by many of his friends as a prophet
who is not without honor even in his
own country. Some months ago he
predicted the outbreak of the general
European war within a month of its
actual happening. He based this
prophecy upon certain developments
of the last two years, among them
the hoarding of gold by the European
nationc, the large Increase of the
standing German army, the increas
ing unrest over taxation and other
considerations which were certain to
force the conflict.
Among the leading features of the Au
gust number of hTe Theater is an ar
ticle by J. Clarence Funk, this city, on
"The Movies To-day and To-morrow."
It is a studj- of the moving picture
situation applied to present conditions
and was the result of Mr. Funk's per
sonal investigation of the moving pic
ture houses in this city. Nothing bet
ter has been done in this line and the
article has attracted much attention.
Not only in tennis, however, do the
boys and girls excel, as you will learn
by making a trip to the McCormick's
Island camp. Many of the young
sters can swim and row a boat in a
way that would shame their older
brothers and sisters. The facts are
that some of the girls from the Reser
voir groups who attended the camp
early In the summer were just as good
swimmers as the Instructors, and in
a free for all race one afternoon Miss
Bertha Brightbill, of Allison Hill, de
feated every one of the older women
in charge.
The Telephone News of recent is
sue prints a picture of L. B. Garrison,
district engineer of the Harrisburg
division, Bell Telephone Company of
Pennsylvania, with offices in this city,
in which Mr. Garrison look worlds like
Chief Bender, the Athletic twirler. Mr.
Garrison played shortstop on the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania nine In 1907
and 1908 and the picture snapped of
him at the time in some way found
its way into the hands of the Tele
phone News editors.
Plans toward making the Fleming
mansion, recently willed to the Civic
Club, a social center and headquarters
for activities of all women's organi
zations In town, have been informally
discussed at meetings of the club. It
Is understood that the mansion, when
it is occupied by the club, will be
thrown open for social affairs of vari
ous kinds. In fact It is the Intention
of the club to use the building in this
way for the purpose of deriving the
revenue necessary for its upkeep. The
will of the donor will not be probated
until the twenty-fifth of this month.
Then a year will lapse before the club
takes possession because the lease of
its present tenant, Frank Payne, does
not expire until August, 1915.
Letters to the Editor
PROFANITY IN THE STREETS
To the Editor of the Telegraph:
I hope you can find a prominent place
for accompanying communication, and
that you will see your way clear to give
it an editorial endorsement:
"Impress your minds with a reverence
for all that Is sacred. Let no wanton
ness of youthful spirits, no compliance
with the intemperate mirth of others
ever betray you into profane sallies. Be
sides the guilt which Is thus incurred,
nothing gives a more odious appearance
of presumption and petulance to youth
than the affectation of treating religion
with levity. Jnsteady of being an evi
dence of superior understanding, it dis
covers a pert and shallow mind which,
vain of the first smatterings of knowl
edge, presumes to make light of what
the rest of mankind revere."
Such were the words of the celebrat
ed Dr. Hugh Blair, one of the greatest
and most learned of many great and
learned men whom Scotland has pro
duced. In the above extracts Dr. Blair
appears to refer more particularly to
scoffing at sacred things. What shall
be said then of the horrid profanity
that Is heard dally In our streets,
sometimes from the mouths of little
children—the blasphemous use of the
names of the Deity and the Savior In
common conversation.
We hear boisterous profanity from
those who claim to be gentlemen. It
would be well If they could be Impress
ed with the fact that no true gentleman
ever swears—that torrid Lssertlons are
the resource of the Ignorant to con
ceal the paucity of their vocabulary
and their Inability to express their Ideas
fluently and correctly.
When one hears coarse ribaldry from
school boys In the street. It Is enough
to make the heart of the humanitarian
bleed with pity. A lack of reverence
In the home Is often responsible for
youthful profanity In the street. It Is
an awful responsibility that parents
thus shoulder. .

the export trade, especially In the ship
men of grain and other commodities,
was one of the important features In
the general financial situation yester

and other North Atlantic ports.

Hundreds of Voters Greet Him
and Pledge Their
Support
BIG MAJORITY IS CERTAIN
Vance C. McCormick's Visit to
Sunbury Frosty in the
Extreme
Unless the best informed party
workers !n Lebanon county are wrong
in their analysis of political conditions
that county will swing back into the
Republican column in November with
a large majority for Senator Boies
Penrose and the entire Republican
ticket.
Senator Penrose, who spent yester
day in Lebanon, was assured by rep
resentatives of all classes ■of citizens
that the voters of Lebanon county are
thoroughly dissatisfied with business
conditions, for which they blame the
Democrats, and that he will carry the
county on national issues.
Senator Penrose's strength as a can
didate was strikingly indicated by his
reception when he arrived in Lebanon
yesterday morning. At the station he
was greeted by a brass band and a
crowd of cheering voters, estimated at
more than two thousand. Badges
with the word "Committee" printed on
them had been provided by the Manu
facturers' Club and the Republican
county committee and so eager were
the Republicans present to show their
loyalty that' money was offered for
them. Although a thousand of these
badges had been printed hundreds of
voters were obliged to go without
them much to thels disappointment.
Not In years has such an enthusiastic
reception been given a candidate in
Lebanon.
At the station an automobile parade
was formed to escort the Senator to
the Weimar Hotel. The parade, In
which were more than
fifty motor cars, was
Veterans headed by the band.
Lead the Major M. A. Gherst
Parade and ex-Senator C. R.
Lantz, both Civil War
veterans, led the pro
ession. In the automobiles were mer
chants, workingmen and all manner
of Republicans, including many from
the country districts. At the hotel
Senator Penrose was received by a
delegation headed by Major • J. M.
Shindel, Judge Advocate of the Fourth
Brigade, N. G. P. For two hours he
was engaged in meeting voters of the
county. Among his callers were many
former Bull Moosers, who now are
back in the Republican party, and sev
|eral Democrats. Among the third
party men who pledged him support
was Paul Wagner, an iron worker,
who was the Washington party candi
cate for sheriff two years ago. He now
is earnestly working for the election
of Senator Penrose. From the balcony
of the hotel the Senator spoke to a
crowd that fiilled the street.
He In p{irt said: "The people have
returned to the Republcan standard
and normally Republican counties like
Lebanon will rec or d
handsome majoriti e s
for the Republic a n Senator
ticket in November. Delivers
And why should they Address
not do this? The
promises made you
two years ago have not been kept.
The Democratic party has shown its
inability to administer the affairs of
this nation. You were promised cheap
er living and what have you gotten.
I have witnessed the evidences of
Democratic government as I passed
through the beautiful Lebanon Val
ley. And where else should there be
better times than in such a chosen
place? Yet seven of your nine fur
naces are idle and another will shut
down in a few days. I am told that
your rolling mills are turning out
only about half the product of their
capacity. This shows the difference
between Republican prosperity and
Democratic misrule.
"What we want Is a restoration of
that which we have lost, good times
and the opportunity for employment
at good wages. I am firmly convinc
ed that the next President of the
United States will be a Republican and
I feel sure the Republicans of Leba
non county will aid in bringing this
about."
Senator Penrose attended the Leba
non Valley fair. It was estimated
that the crowd numbered nearly
thirty thousand per
sons. He spent four
Attended hours shaking hands
Fair In with the people. He
Afternoon was Intro duc e d by
William Noll, chair
man of the Republican
county committee. From the grand
stand he made a brief speech which
contained no reference to politics. At
the ore banks at Cornwall, where
about one thousand men were em
ployed, fewer than one-third that
number are at work. Senator Penrose
learned of Industrial conditions from
both the manufacturers and the work
ing men. He was told that the labor
element would support him almost
solidly. The Senator returned to
Philadelphia last night. He was ac
ompanied by Daniel F. Lafean, of
York, Republican candidate for con
gressman-at-large, who with Henry
Houck, candidate for re-election as
Secretary of Internal Affairs, also at
tended the fair.
Vance C. McCormick on his visit to
Sunbury didn't get what would be
termed a brilliant reception. Less
than fifty of the faith
ful were at his meet
ing in the lobby of the McCormick
hotel where he was Gets Frost
stopping. Most of at Sunbury
them were wou 1d be
party bosses, o ffl ce
holders and those seeking office. The
rank and file of the voters, many of
whom have empty dinner pails, were
"conspicuous by their absence."
Ziba T. Moore, ex-assistant district
attorney of Philadelphia, and until re
cently an active Washington partv
worker, was found dead from heart
disease In bed at his home, at 5031
Schuyler street, Germantown, early
yesterday, by his wife. He was for
merly an ardent Republican but more
recently a Washington party man. He
was a delegate-at-large to the Repub
lican national convention at Chicago
as a Roosevelt delegate. In the pri
mary fight for the Washington party
nomination for district attorney of
Philadelphia, Mr. Moore was opposed
by George Wentworth Carr, who de
feated him by a slight majority. Since
then and until recently his interest in
the Washington party continued, Mr.
Moore serving as a member of the
executive committee. Last January he
was appointed by Auditor Genera}
Powell as counsel for the mercantile
appraisers of Philadelphia.
It la expected that fusion with the
Bull Moosers will be the burden of the

Wednesday. Bull Moose
Fusion and Demoratic yearning
Talk for fusion, Republican
Here indifference in the secur
ity of success, whether
there is amalgamation or
not, was expressed in statements of
representatives of the three parties
concerned. While State Chairman
Morris, of the Democratic party, finds
a "growing sentiment for fusion
among the rank and file of both
parties," and Chairman Dripps, of the
Lewis camplagn committee, feels that
"only through fusion can anything
substantial be accomplished." Sena
tor Penrose expressing the Republican
point of view, declared utter Indiffer
ence to fusion, emphasizing, however,
the thought that since fusion, could
be accomplished only by the arbitrary
switching about of candidates nomi
nated at popular primaries, such a
proceeding would be at total variance
with the theory of direct nomination
|by popular vote, and, furthermore,
| that fusion talk "was tne best evidence
of the hopelessness of the opposition
Ito the Republican party." But there is
formidable opposition to the fusion
game of the bosses and serious differ
ences are reported.

I go to a Montgomery county farm

Guess what the farmer will say in

would be about as follows:
"You miserable shoat, I need my

somebody else's dollar for It. Gid-ep!"
France's request for $100,000,000
with which to purchase American
flour, meat, canned goods, clothing,

would be similar to the offer to buy
wheat from the Mon'.romery countian

MUST TAKE OUT LICENSE
Substitute brokers are required to
take out a license by the revenue law,
but scores of them have not done so.
These men are making immense pro
fits and should at one secure their li
cense. We observe that in many
places the authorities are moving in
the matter and brokers will be stop
ped putting in their substitutes, unless
they produce a license.
MAYOR NOT BUSY
The city is quiet and its people are
sober. If the mayor and his assist
ant dependent upon the amount of
business transacted for their salary,
these officials should be in quest of
other business to-day. Yesterday there
was but one case before the mayor
and to-day not any.
JOHN WANAMAKER S VIEWPOINT
"Recent events have given us a
sense of need to depend more upon
ourselves than upon our far-off neigh
bors and friends on the other side of
the ocean.
"This country is not a table oi sta
tistics nor of mere acts of congress.
"During the last month in New
York and elsewhere a lot of men
have shown themselves to be equal to
occasions that have arisen and com
petent to deal with the question, large
and new, that have crossed our paths.
"We have laid up within ourselves
great reserves of power and strength,
all in America, that are available for
the great revival of business that lies
before us If we employ our wits and
energies."

Louise Kennedy Mabie. author of
the recently published novel. "The
Lights Are Bright," though as a rulo
she Is willing to subscribe to the the
ory of equality between the sexes, finds
there are many times when "It Is
pleasant to acept the deference paid
a woman." Not long ago, while wait
ing to qualify for an automobile li
cense, i.lrs. Mabie's car was the hin
dermost of sixty or more cars and a
delay of a couple of hours seemed
certain. Then an inspector called out:
"Ladies first is the rule here," and in
a half-hour she turned homeward, a
duly licensed driver. Mrs. Mabie's
heroine in "The Lights Are Bright"—
a young girl at the head of a great
business—experiences some of the
privileges and some of the disadvanta
ges a woman encounters in the mascu
line world.
Great Britain's championship of

philosophy of General Homer Lea—
whose last book, "The Day of the
Saxon," deals with the dangers threat

neessary to her own existence. "Any
extension of German sovereignty over
these non-British States" (Denmark.
Belgium, and the Netherlands) says
General Lea, "predetermines the po

anomaly • * « The neutraliza

THE COLONEL AND THE FLEET
Discussing the war in Europe, the
Colonel to-night burst forth:
"When I wanted to be sure that we
would be at peace with e-'eryone I
sent the fleet around the world."
There was wild cheering. Some saw
in the brief statement a criticism of
the present policy of the administra
tion.
Repeal of the free tolls law he
made a point of especially bitter at
tack.
