Bell Private Branch Exchange No. 1040. United Business Office, 303. editorial Room 585. Job Dept. 101. MONDAY EVENING, APGI'ST 24 FAKE PATRIOTISM IT Is announced this morning in the court bulletin of the Democratic candidate for Governor that he and his associates of the Democratic State committee are about to launch Bn organization of hoys as a nonpar tisan league, to he called "The Friends of Pennsylvania." He ex plains that the organization is to "make permanent the downfall of cor rupt politics," presumably through the election of McCormiek and other Democratic candidates. The man who wants to be Governor states that there is nothing in its nature to tie up the organization exclusively to any one party, as "we want to increase pride in Pennsylvania and so to purify the State politically that nobody will have reason to blush for his citizenship in Pennsylvania." In the pledge to which the members of this wonderful organization are supposed to subscribe is a promise "to use my sincerest aVid most intelligent efforts to learn the facts concerning political conditions and candidates for public office." Nothing is said about the out rageous use of money in politics by the Democratic candidate for Gov ernor, who is back of this remarkable movement, or of the breaking down of the system of merit in appointments to office by the Democratic machine, or of the insincerity and hypocrisy of the men who are seeking to mislead the boys of the State by fake appeals to patriotism. It's a fine Mttle game to arouse some enthusiasm for a dying cause by dis tributing a few thousand buttons to the hoys in the hope of having them yell for the little men who are now wabbling around in an effort to dem onstrate their fitness for high office. It is quite probable that they will find the boys of Pennsylvania more fa miliar with the real conditions in this State and its splendid history than are those who propose to use them in booming small men for big offices. Doubtless impressed by the scandal ous use of money in forcing unpopular candidates on the party in Pennsylva nia. the Democrats in Congress are (taking action. Drastic amendments •looking to the elimination of the use of 'large sums of money in political cam paigns were adopted in the Rucker bill 'by the Senate privllrges and elections committee, in reporting the bill favor ably to the Senate. There is said to be little opposition to the bill. THE ENTERING WEDGE IN order to establish and have paid by this government millions of dollars of Civil War claims in the South, the leader of the Demo cratic majority in the House of Rep resentatives has proposed that it shall not be necessary to prove the "loyalty" of the claimant to the gov ernment at the time of the war. This Is the entering wedge. Once this proposition passes the Congress, the Treasury will be swamped with (Claims from every cross-roads south of Mason and Dixon's Line, and Uncle •Sam will be fotjeed to pay what actually amounts to a money premium .upon the disloyalty of men who are no longer content with his generosity In long ago removing all civil dis abilities that they incurred by their rebellion against him. AN AGGRESSIVE FIGHT AS was recently indicated by one who is more or less familiar with the history of Pennsyl vania politics, the Republicans of this State twice lost the governor ship since 1860 by making defensive campaigns: but if the Democrats and their allies have any idea that the campaign of 1914 is to be defensive they will awaken to a realization of the fact that the Republican host ■which Is now being mobilized in every section of Pennsylvania is going to make the most aggressive fight in ,the history of the party. There will be no defensive tactics at any stage of the battle and the little men who are hopplpg about like corn on a griddle will know a lot more about politics when this campaign Is over. It was the hope of these little man that they could befuddle the voters by frequent yells about a platform, wholly unmindful of the fact that the Republican nominees made their can-, MONDAY EVENING. vara Before the people in an open primary on a fair and square declara tion of their principles. As the Telegraph has said before on this point, the people of Pennsyl vania are not so much concerned In this year of our Lord about bigh falutln and spectacular declarations of alleged principles as they are re garding the qualifications of the men who are now seeking office. Party platforms are interesting in a way, but they are not vital under the present primary system. At all events, Senator Penrose, Dr. Brumbaugh, Mayor Frank McClaln, Henry Houck and the other Republican nominees will have ample time to meet the peo ple of Pennsylvania face to face be tween now and election day and discuss with them the issues—the real issues of the campaign. THRIFT HAS ITS OWN REWARDS FROM newsboy to president of a corporation with an annual business of $1,000,000 in four teen years, is the record of Max McGraw, now. at the age of thirty one years, one of the leading business men of the Middle West and president of a manufacturing company with of fices In Sioux City, Omaha and Los Angeles And Mr. McGraw got his start by saving money, having embarked in business at seventeen years of age with SSOO which he saved from the earnings of a newspaper "route" which he "carried" for five years and a half. The route was seven miles and a half long and young McGraw covered it twice a day on horseback, summer and winter, all those years, and stud ied evenings. Is it any wonder that such indus try and thrift have so early won suc cess? Alluding to the fact that so many Greek immigrants here find employ ment as bootblacks, a newspaper wit said: "The Greeks did not do very well at the Olympic games, but they shine in America." The story of Gus Travlllas, of Chi cago, shows that grit and thrift are not the exclusive possession of any one nationality, and the Greeks can succeed here as well as persons of any race In America, which is the 'melting pot" of many nationali ties. Ten years ago Gus was a newsboy on one of the busy street corners of Chicago. He early became a savings depositor, and as his balance in the bank grew, he kept his eyes open for opportunities, and with the timely aid and counsel of his banker he made a number of successful deals. He now owns six nickel moving pic ture theaters and other property. Any time he wants it, he can borrow money at the bank on his note. Colonel Mayo, the richest man in Kentucky, died a few weeks ago. Twenty-five years ago he was a struggling school teacher in Eastern Kentucky. At forty-five he had a for tune of $20,000,000. His fortune grew from the meager earnings he saved from his salary as a country school teacher. In teaching in various districts Mayo had gained an intimate knowledge of the mountain country's mineral and timber resources, and became ac quainted with those sections richest in mineral wealth. He discovered that thousands of acres were occupied by "squatters," many of whom would give options for $5. Later he borrowed all the money he could to put into these options. When the development of the Eastern Kentucky coal fields began he was able to interest railroad officials and to enlist capital to work his mines, and was soon on the road to fortune. Thrift always pays dividends. THE LAST GREAT WAR? THE feeling Is growing that the war now being waged in Europe will be the last great conflict of its kind. It is doubtful If this much to be desired end will be real ized. The longer it goes, the greater the slaughter and the more extensive the destruction, the more likely is it that some agreement as to at least partial disarmament will be reached, but to believe that the end of all war is in sight is too much. We must not forget that there is Mexico and South America at our own borders; that there is India, with its teeming mil lions discontented with their condi tions, and Africa with its savage peo ples, not to mention a host of other places scattered all about the globe where the spirit of arbitration will be slow to penetrate. The European war will make for international peace in Europe if it goes to the length of arousing each of the countries involved to the enormity of entrusting their lives to the crea tors of great militafr machines, but it will not end bloodshed between clash ing peoples the world over. CARE FOR THE FARMERS IT must be an awful jar for those Democratic four-flushers who are going up and down the State decry ing the Republican Administration and alleged indifference of Republican officials for the farming class to be confronted with the truth concerning the situation. More than 500 bulletins have been issued by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture on farm topics and thousands upon thousands of these bulletins are going into the hands of the farmers who will bo benefited by the expert advice therein contained. And, on top of all of this, the State Department of Agriculture is doing as much more for the agri cultural interests of Pennsylvania. These bulletins are of practical and educational importance and have been prepared by the leading experts of the X'nited States. The Democratic campaigners found a beer keg in a tent at the Lebanon fair, and were naturally Indignant. Vou "see, the blame thing was empty. AN EVENING THOUGHT Genius can never despise la bor.—Abel Stevens. j f EVENING CHATI .Masons of Harrisburg are mourn ing the death of Charles J. Riesling, which occurred at his home in Mari etta last Thursday. Mr. Klcaling, who was a member of many branches of Masonry, was well known here, hav ing frequently attended ceremonial sessions of the local Masonic bodies. Mr. Kiesling was also a member of the Philadelphia Rifle Club. In Ger man societies he was very active, be ing affiliated with the Cannstatter Volksfest Verein, Columbia Gesang Verein and many others. He was a manufacturer of cigars sold all. over Pennsylvania. The hay fever season is on. and a large number of Harrisburgers who are atllicted with this peculiar mal ady aro m the throes of sneezing, with the accompaniment of red eyes and a tickling palate. Some of the victims make a pilgrimage to Kane. Pa., or to other spots that are also im mune from the malady. The other day, in a downtown quick lunch, two men were discussing the curious end of-summer affliction, and one of them ventured the theory that it was caused by a germ, and that if one could destroy the germ the sneezing would cease. "This theory Is about as interesting," said the hay fever victim, "as the man with a cure. Everybody you meet will tell you how to relieve the frightful affliction. Dur ing the past twenty years 1 have tried nearly everything, and I find that the only jcure Is to get away to an im mune spot. That differs, too, for dif ferent constitutions. For instance, persons in the mountains may be benefited by a visit to the shore, and those living at or near the shore would be immune when they went to the mountains." One sport the war is not having any effect on is trap and live bird shooting. Within the past twelve months Interest in this pastime has increased so rapidly that at present; 100 per cent, more shooters partici pate in the weekly and monthly events than one year ago. Ammunition, fire arms, targets and everything needed by a shooter are made in America. There is not a State in the Union that does not have its sportsmen's associa tion. Pennsylvania leads for shooting associations, and each week trap and live bird events are held at a dozen or more places. Live bird shooting is not so frequent as in years past. This is due to the offer of special prizes by powder and firearms manu facturers for target scores. However, during the Spring and Fall seasons live bird events are h#ld, as this is a good time of the year to get fast flyers. The deep hole Just below the breast of the nearly completed dam across the Susquehanna at the lower end of the city Is rapidly becoming one of the most popular swimming holes near Harrisburg. Almost any hour of the day and any day of the week. If you look out along the breast of the dam you will notice at least a dozen sunburned boys disporting themselves about the deep water Just below the dam. One of the most popular spbts is just off the breast where r it crosses Peace's Island. Here the currents, swipling through one of the gaps in the dam, have washed out a deep hole. Some of the hoys have built a springboard, using the top of the dam as a fulcrum and some of the concrete slabs that will be used to close the gaps in the dam as weights. It is an ideal swimming place. Many even ings there are more than two-score boys from 7 to 17 bathing there. It isn't necessary for them to have a boat, as they can wade out to the end of the dam and then walk out to the swimming hole along the breast. The Rev. Harry E. Ulrich, a young minister who is filling his first charge since graduation at college at the In tercourse United Brethren Church, Intercourse, Pa., is a Harrisburg lad who is rapidly making good, accord ing to all reports in the circles of his denomination. He Is now home on his vacation and he's telling all his old friends this little story on himself: "Soon after I took over my charge at Intercourse. Lancaster county, I had occasion to drive over to Green bank, which is several miles away. Somehow or other, I got lost on the Lancaster county roads and finally I stopped a hoy of about ten years who was trudging along the dusty highway and asked him if he could tell me the way to Greenbank. " Sure I can tell you." said the youngster, 'Fact is, I'm on mv way to my grandpop's over at Greenbank myself.' "So I picked the youngster up and used him as a guide. While he was telling. me when and which way to turn I said, 'Boy, what do you do?' "'Go to school.' grunted the lad: 'what-a you do?' " 'l'm a minister of the gospel,' I explained. " 'Yes, hut what work do you do?' Insisted my guide. " 'Well, I try to show people the way to heaven.' I further explained. "For fully five minutes the lad was as quiet as the grave. Then all of a sudden he blurted out: " 'Do you know, parson. I think vou re a of a fellow to show any body the way to heaven. Whv, you don't even know the wav to Green bank!" 1 POLITICAL SIDELIGHTS I —Congressman Kelss is forming the First Voters' Republican League, to cover every congressional district in Pennsylvania. —For three successive years Con gressman A. Mitchell Palmer at pre vious Lehigh Democratic countv meet ings denounced Charles M. Schwab and the Bethlehem Steel Works, and he gloried in declaring that he fcas doing his best to destroy an industry that he called a machine of destruc tion. On Saturday at the Lehigh Democratic county meeting' at' Schnecksvllle he turned right about face and In an appepal to the voters of Lehigh county, who are employed at Bethlehem, he declared he was the greatest friend the Bethlehem Steel Company ever had. —Bitter factional feeling among the Democrats is counted upon to help materially in the campaign to elect John D. Hoffman, Republican, to Con gress In the Bethlehem district. Mr. Hoffman, who is a former borough so licitor. Is well known and popular and is making an exceptionally good cam paigner. —Chairman John R. Halsey. of the Republican party in Luzerne county, has his campaign well under wav and from reports he has received from all sections of the county he declares that the Republican ranks are united and that the party will poll a normal vote for all candidates from United States senator down to the smallest of the county offices. The Democrats are seriously divided. —The McKean county committee of the Washington party, at Its meeting last week at the St. James Hotel, made an effort to induce the Progres sives to fuse with the Democrats, but IV was turried down.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH FILL CAIRN WILL OPEN OH WEDNESDAY Great Gathering of Republicans at Pittsburgh; Dr. Brum baugh to Speak BIG RALLY AT HUNTINGDON Republican Candidate For Gover nor Will Be the Guest of His Neighbors v Word was received at the Repub lican State headquarters from Pitts burgh to-day that all arrangements have been completed for the meeting of the State committee, which is to be held on Wednesday and for the mass meeting on the evening of the same day which will mark the formaj open ing of the Republican campaign In Western Pennsylvania. All of the candidates on the Repub lican State ticket are expected to ad dress this mass meeting, which will be held in the Fort Pitt Theater. City Chairman Charles H. Kline and County Chairman Wulter H. Christy are co-operating with State Chairman William E. Crow in planning for the meetings. Senator Penrose will go to Pitts burgh by automobile from Scranton and Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh, nomi nee for Governor, Is expected to re turn from his vacation in time to make his initial address at this gath ering. It is understood that Senator Penrose's remarks will be confined mainly to national topics and that Dr. Brumbaugh will devote his address largely to State issues. The Republican platform will be adopted at the meeting of the State committee. It is likely that the sub committee, of which ex-Lieutenant-Governor Committee Walter Lyon, of Pitts- JJ ill Adopt burgh, Is chairman, will Platform make Its report to the general platform com „ , mlttee, of which John N. Halsey, of Wtlkes-Barre, is chairman, on Wednesday morning and the mat ter will be passed upon by the full State committee at the afternoon ses sion. Candidates for Congress and for other offices on the Republican ticket, county chairmen and others active in party affairs are planning to attend these gatherings. • Senator Penrose has arranged to re turn east by automobile, stopping at the Greene County Fair at Waynes burg on Thursday, at Harrisburg on Friday and at Fogelsvtlle, Lehigh county, on Saturday. f The Fogelsville meeting, which will be a great Republican rally, will vir tually mark tho opening of the cam paign east of the Alleghenies. Dr. Brumbaugh, following his ad- I dress in Pittsburgh, will be the guest of his former neighbors in his old home in Huntingdon, where elaborate I arrangements are being made to honor htm on Friday, August 28. This occasion promises to be a mem orable one In the history of Hunting- i don county. Dr. Brumbaugh is expected to ex- I press himself freely upon the vital questions affecting the citizens of the State and to emphasize his attitude I upon such Issues. Colonel Howard E. Butz, editor of l the Huntingdon Globe, according to a special dispatch from Huntingdon, has issued an address to his fellow-citizens in w hjch h e says: Great Welcome lion t forget the For Brumbaugh ] big Brumbaugh in Home Town meeting In the Grand Theater on Friday evening August 28, at 7.45 o'clock.) The doctor wants to see all his old I triends, the ones with whom he went I to school, his fellow-teachers, his pupils, school directors and all others with whom he worked in Huntingdon county years ago. This also includes I farmers, laborers and lumbermen. ! whose wants and needs the doctor fully understands, for he was one of them in his early life in Penn town ship, this county. "Several bands will be here at tho meeting. There will be a parade, with the usual illuminations, and at the. Grand Theater Dr. Brumbaugh will have the floor all to himself, where his political attitude will be declared, where his position on current events will be fully made known, and where all people, no matter where thev stand, are cordially requested to be present. "This is the first time in the history of Huntingdon county that one of hei native sons has been the standard :^ arpr m one the Kreat parties for the office of Governor of the Pom monwealth. It is befitting, therefore, that this meeting be made a mem oranle one. "Come on foot, in hay wagons, bug gies and automobiles, or come bv train. Facilities for getting home after the meeting are first class. Train ft?!, 1 ® £ r lhe Bt makes >l. local stops, as well as the one for the PSt special on the Broad Top all the way to Riddlesburg. Come. Come! Come!" Dr. Brumbaugh Is scheduled to go from Huntingdon to the Fogelsville meeting, which will be a dressed by all ?. n the Re Pih»ean State ticket, as well as the local Re publican nominees. At a meeting at Allentown the chief speech was made by A. Mitchell Pal mer. who wants to be United States senator. He engaged in c. . V. usual denunciation of 'Steel Senator Penrose, but was considerably flabbergasted Protest when a delegation of Beth lehem steel workers, who formed part of the audi ence. varied the demonstration bv booing Palmer when he declared himself the friend of the Bethlehem Steel Company. These hostile critics of the senatorial candidate remem bered that for three years in succes sion at Lehigh county meetings he tiad denounced Charles M Schwab and asserted that he was doing his best to destroy an Industry that he called a "machine of destruction." It was re called by the steel workers tha(Pal mer had protested against the award ?> e ». cont / act ,_ for armor plate to Bethlehem for battleship No. 39 and that the industry did not get anv of the work, in consequence of which 900 men lost their jobs in a week. Evidences of that overwhelming harmony of which we read so much in the Harrisburg Patriot multiply. Saturday State Senator Richard V. Farley sharply criticised the Farlev reorganization leaders Itaps for their management Reorganl/eiV of the Democ ra 11 e campaign. "While I was a Ryan man at the | f m " ■ EADQUAHTKfiI FOB ' SHIRTS SIDES ft SIDES primaries, I am for the ticket nomi nated in November," he declared. However, I am greatly disappointed that the Slate leaders have not been big enough to invite the Ryan men to co-operate with them and appear to be more concerned about strengthen ing their faction than In promoting party harmony. "The latest efforts of the reorgan izes—to establish a new city commit tee and to make a bipartisan deal with the Washington party on a Stat© ticket—have undoubtedly hurt the Democracy. There is no need for a new city committee. The city com mittee was good enough for Rudolph Blankenburg in Iflll and it ought to be good enough for Roland S. Morris in 1914. It declared for Wilson for President at the time that prominent reorganlzers were for Clark. Last Fall it stood up nobly for fusion and had three places of magistrates stolen by our Rull Moose allies, while we were fighting side by side with them. To establish a new city committee will only keep the factional feuds alive and will do the party no good. It Is the essence of stupidity to cultivate fac tional discord while seeking party suc cess. "The proposition for fusion Is ab surd. It is unfair to the Democrats to ask them to agree to fusion with the i Washington party, while the Bull i Moose platform denounces the Wilson i administration and its policies. The party ought to be big enough tq stand up and fight for the President without i entering into a deal with men who are denouncing him." On top of the Philadelphia outbreak ! comes a split In Blair county, where supporters of President Wilson and the reorganization coterie were defeated in the or- Blalr ganlzation of the Demo- Pemocrats cratlc county omniittee. Revolt A. V. Dlvely. Bryan's per sonal friend, stated that he represented the na tional administration and the State i central committee, and both had asked him to have the meeting ad- | journed because only a week's notice had been given. Ex-Police Chief B. J. j Clark, Berry's friend, after calling at- I tentlon to the fact that Dlvely had no voice In the meeting, declared he did : not propose to allow the State chair man to dictate to the committee. ] Whereupon Dively, carrying out a pre- I vious threat, asked all friends of the administration to follow him and left : the hall. Among the dozen who left were Democrat officeholders or expect- j to-be officeholders. The "old guard." under command of Thomas H. Greevy, former Lieuten ant-Governor candidate, then elected Thomas Lawly, of Hollidaysburg, chairman. I'REE TRADERS HOIST BY THEIU OWN PETARD [From the Philadelphia Public I„edger.] Never at a loss to exploit a fallacy, the free traders are vociferously declar ing that the war has erected a barrier against foreign competition, and pro tectionists should be reveling in milk and honey. Yet about the only prices which the war has sent sky high are for goods which come in free. .Sugar, which the Democratic tariff was to send down to almost nothing. Is the chief offender. There has been no corresponding ad vance in American manufactured goods, although, as the free traders say, they have now absolute protection. "Reveling in milk and honey!" Who ever supposed that capital would Invest in an industry requiring protection if the protection were not assured for a definite period? There have been two or three weeks of war. and free traders ask sn astonished country why it Is that there are no new factories in op eration as a result. Well, one to cm ploy 4,0(V0 men is about to be built in Philadelphia. If anybodv can give as surance that the war will last long 1 enough, there will be many others. A long war will compel America to become self-supplying. That is the pur pose of protection. That it is effec tive free traders admit when thev sol emnly announce that the withdrawal of European goods from our market ren ders manufacture by us of the articles In question not only requisite but feas ible. They are relying on the war to save the country from the effects of.the Democratic tariff. I Last Call!
