RriLnixo ASSOCIATIONS
THE building and loan associations
of Pennsylvania assisted in
building or purchasing 19.531
homes during 1913 for their
phareholders, according to the annual |
[report of Stat© Banking Commissioner
((William B. Smith, made'public yes
terday.
Nearly 2O.flOO'people own their own
(homes, or, are paying for them, as a.
result of the building associations.
fThis is saving on a vast scale. Very
probably many of the Home builders
»r buyers would have found means
(through the banks or otherwise to
(borrow the money with which to make
rthe desired investment, but unques
tionably the associations were of vast
•benefit to many who would without
(their aid still be living in rented homes.
Any means of saving is to be encour
hged. The building and loan organ
izations have been of vast service in
the development of Pennsylvania and
Tommlssloner Smith is quite right in
warning the managers of some of
them against overstepping the bounds
of their usefulness. These associations
have certain very definite lines to fol
low and to leave them is not only to
endanger the savings of hundreds of
shareholders but to engender in the
public mind a distrust that ought not
to exist and which past experience
tioes not warrant.
President Wilson has let it be known
that he will, perhaps, make one speech
in Pennsylvania, probably at Pitts
burgh, during the present campaign,
and that he will speak for A. Mitchell
Palmer, the Democratic candidate for
'United States Senator. Fearful of hav
ing the people resent his interference
in Pennsylvania politics, the President
hesitates to do more than say a word
for Palmer. It will also be the effort
of the Democratic machine to avoid a
discussion of the tariff, knowing that
the direful results of the removal of
jirotecton will do the Democrats no
Kood in this year's fight.
OUR TREES
THE loss of a half-dozen or more
trees in the River Front park
during last week's storm shows
very clearly that, if Harrisburg
Moes not need a shade tree convnis
(Blon, as members of the City Council
.seem to think, the city does need, and
very badly, too, somebody to pay par
ticular attention to its trees. Those
ilhat were blown down might have
ibeen saved by the timely attention of
tree doctor,
j The Special Park Commission of
'.Chicago gave, in a bulletin, a reason
for good care of leafy assets and for
planting more. "The commercial value
of the tree should appeal to those
(Who are not touched by its civic and
icsthetic value. The real estate man
(knows the* a tree-bordered street
.means high-class property, which
igrows in value with the growth of the
tree. Trees are inviting and encourag
ing to outdoor life. It is partly for
this advantage that those who have
the means seek homes in the suburbs
and farther in the country. There
they can enjoy trees in their native
splendor and till their lungs with the
pure oxygen generated by the abund
ance of plant life."
Trees conserve the health and fife
of tho residents of our overcrowded
cities. W. A. Murrill, in a bulletin
issued by Cornell University, states:
"Trees add to the healthfulness of a
city by cooling and purifying the air.
Besides cutting off the direct and re
flected rays of the sun, foliage, by eva
porating large quantities of water
from its surface, exercises a marked
effect on the temperature. The reduc
tion ol the temperature in this way is
greatest on dry, hot days when such
reduction is most needed. Leaves also
absorb impure and hurtful gases and
manufacture oxygen needed by hu
mans for respiration. Circulation of
the air, due to unequal temperature,
Is likewise promoted by trees properly
pruned and arranged; while the air of
basements and cellars is rendered
less humid by the removal of surplus
water from the surrounding soil
through the medium of roots and fol
iage."
In some of our cities, and Harris
burg is one of them, trees, inßtead of
being beneficial to the community,
through neglect and ignorance, de
generate to a source of injury to the
TUESDAY EVENING,
| public. For instance, in Chicago the
Special Park Commission reports that
there are more than 3,000 dead trees
standing In the streets of Chicago at
the present time. In addition there
are even a larger number of trees that
are partly dead and badly In need of
trimming. The dead trees are liable to
fall at any time, especially In a wind
storm, making them a source of danger
to passersby. They also afford excellent
breeding places for injurious insect
and fungus pests, which multiply on
these dead trees anl branches, from
which they are carried to the living
trees, where they continue their de
structive work.
The ,ack of municipal control has
permitted street trees to suffer from
carelessness of citizens, who have
mutilated trees by bad trimming and
by collision of vehicles, used them for
hitching posts, allowing their half
fed horses to bite, gnaw and tear off
the bark. What Is Harrisburg going
to do about it? Our trees are worth
money. Are we to maintain a nursery
to grow young trees and not pay any
attention to those already in their
prime?
There is to be another pow-wow at
the Democratic headquarters in this city
to-morrow over the fusion schemes that
have been incubating for some time, but
the Washington party voters are al
ready revolting over the plan to give
the Democrats the chief place on the
ticket and all the patronage in the
event of an election of the combination.
Whatever is done in the way of fusion
is almost certain to be rebuked by the
people at the polls.
IIEIJ* IN TROUBLE
A WELL-INFORM 10D correspon
dent writing to the Philadel
phia Inquirer from Washington
says the Wilson administration
leaders are In a panic over the tre-
responsibilities which have
been suddenly thrust upon them as a
result of the European war. They are
now calling for help from the various
sources of power, financial and other
wise, which they have been endeavor
ing to discredit since the beginning of
last year. It appears that the very
financial plan adopted by the admin
istration leaders to make available a
billion dollars for distribution among
the banks was proposed by a leading
banker in Washington who has been
the special object of administration
resentment.
You see (continued Mr. McCor
mick). instead of training up a gen
eration of boys accustomed to the
criticism and disparagement of
their own State, we seek to pro
mote such a Pennsylvania esprit de
corps as will make it impossible for
political evils to survive In a new
atmosphere of militant loyalty and
patriotism. From McCormick's
statement.
This is the busy little man who pro
poses to train up the boys so that they
will not be "accustomed to the criti
cism and disparagement of their own
State," and this same McCormick lias
been one of the worst offenders in all
the history of Pennsylvania against its
good name and reputation. Those of
his ilk are constantly abusing the
State and misrepresenting its splendid
achievements.
"THRIFTV DON'TS"
SW. STRAUS, president of the
American Society for Thrift, has
issued a card of "thrifty don'ts"
that ought to be framed and
hung in the kitchen of every house
wife interested in keeping down the
high cost of living. Here they are:
- Don't telephone for groceries un
less you specify as to quality and
price.
Uon't run in debt for necessaries;
cash buying is always the better
buying.
Don't be without the tireless
cooker; it will soon save its cost.
But get a noninflammable sort.
Don't cook too much, merely to
1111 a garbage can.
Don't buy small quantities of
staples; buy in bulk.
Don't fail to explain expendi
tures and to keep inside the limit
you tlx.
Don't be ashamed of saving pen
nies; otherwise you are "easy"
prey.
Don't add to delivery expense by
ordering at the last moment. Keep
ahead of actual needs.
Don't patronize loan sharks. Get
a co-operative credit union started
to finance emergency needs.
Don't buy vegetables out of sea
son and expect low prices.
Don't think spendthrifts need lie
capitalists. One can be a spend
thrift with a dollar as well as with
larger sums.
Don't let false pride cost you
money. There is no happiness in it.
Uon't feel too sure you are get
ting the most possible out of your
expenditures; learn what "hard
pan" really is.
Don't forget that peace of mind
is better than things you cannot
afford.
Don't forget either that you al
ways can afford courtesy, kindness
and a smile.
It is safe to say that any woman
following strictly the advice laid down
in the foregoing can cut her expenses
10 per cent. Too often we blame high
prices when we should blame our own
inclination to careless expenditure.
System is needful in the management
of the kitchen just as it is in busi
ness. The woman who is letting 10 per
cent, of her household expenses, or
even a smaller proportion, get away
from her without proper return Is
wasteful, and a wasteful woman ought
to lie the last person to complain of
I high living costs.
!
I It is a bad day for the bosses
I that is dawning. Harrisburg
Patriot.
I This is a remarkable confession so
• early in the campaign, and it is another
'sign of the inevitable wreck of the
j Democratic machine.
Colonel Roosevelt is in an uncom
fortable position. His own personally
conducted party in New York has com
j pelted him to lower his colors a"hd
throughout the country the Progres
sives are rapidly degenerating into a
party of leaders without followers.
There can be little doubt that the lines
j in November will be formed under the
direction of the two great parties, with
j the Republicans once more domlnnnt
, and aggressive.
Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh, who has
been recuperating in Maine since the
death of Ills wife, will be given a great
home-coming reception at Huntingdon
next Friday night. That other favorite
son of the Juniata Valley, Judge George
B. Orladv, of the Superior Court, will
likely Introduce Dr. Brumbaugh, and
thus the great concourse of people
which Is hound to he assembled on this
interesting occasion, will hear two of
the most popular and effective sneakers
in Pennsylvania.
riVENING CHATI
It is entirely in keeping with the
unusual political conditions of this
year for the Fall campaign to start
before the traditional sixtieth day
prior to the November election. Gen
erally the campaign gets started about
Labor Day or some times a few days
before, but generally somewhere about
sixty days before the election. No
vember 3 Is election day, hut on Sep
tember 3 the standard-bearers of the
three big parties in the State will have
been out on the iiring line some time
and the nominees of the less aggress
ive parties will probably be busy, too.
Governor Tener started his campaign
about September 2 and his rivals,
William H. Berry and Webster Grim,
got under way about the same time.
Labor Day was the starting time for
the Jftuart and Emery campaigns in
190<> and Pattison got out on the
stump about September 1 in 1902,
Judge Penn.vpacker, as he was then,
joining his campaign party a little
later. This year Dean Lewis and Pin
chot have been campaigning ever
since the primaries, or rather have
been continuing their primary cam
paign. AlcOormick has been flitting
about for over a month, having spent
less than three weeks away from the
limelight. He went to Virginia to!
take a rest, but came back when the I
weather was hottest. Congressman j
Palmer has bf*en less strenuous and
has made a speech every now and ]
then, just as has Penrose. Palmer has
titted in some golf and Penrose some I
yachting. Dr. Brumbaugh went to
Maine immediately after the burial of
his devoted wife and his appearance
at Pittsburgh to-morrow is his lirst.
The doctor will open his campaign
with an address before the Republi- j
can State committee and keep going,
one of his engagements being in his
old home county of Huntingdon Fri
day, the day McCormick will be in
Cambria and Lewis in Washington.
It's going to be a great old campaign
and It is going to start early and be
marked by lighting along a front al
most as long as that of the European
war. Incidentally, it is going to be a
decisive affair.
You don't believe In spooks? Ah,
but that doesn't prove anything. For
there IS a spook, a really, honest-to
goodne.ss .graveyard spook out In the
Harrisburg Cemetery! At least that
is what a dozen or more small girls
of Allison Hill will tell you.
The dozen lassies in question, it
seems, are in the primary grade of the
Lincoln school building and during
the summer they have paid many
visits to their teacher, who lives in
North Cameron street. The shortest
road home Is through the Harrisburg
Cemetery, and despite frequent warn
ings on the part of both teacher and
parents, the girlies have insisted on
going home through the graveyard
instead or around it.
"Spooks!" scorned one of the
largest yesterday evening about dusk
after a visit to the teacher's home,
when she was urged to go around the
cemetery. "Who believes in ghosts?
I don't." And so off they scampered.
Rut It was an entirely different
minded crowd of girls that ran up to
an Allison Hill woman on the State
street side of the cemetery with "Save,
us! Save us! There's a ghost after
us!"
"Where?" soothed the motherly
lady, gathering the white-faced
youngsters about her.
"Over there!" they sobbed, pointing
toward the edge of the cemetery. And,
sure enough, "over there" was a
white-formed figure, slowly, almost
menacingly waving its arms toward
the frightened little group. Just then
a big husky man came along and he
started to investigate. A minute later
he, too, came running pell-mell out of
the graveyard, crying "It is a ghost!
It is a ghost! Don't go in there or
he'll get you sure!"
He later explained to the woman
after the youngsters had all scam
pered for their homes, that he had
a conversation somewhat like this
when he reached the ghostly tlgure in
the cemetery.
" 'Whata yuh mean scarin' those
kids?' I asked.
" 'Sh!' said the ghost. 'l've been
employed by the parents of several of
the girls to scare them when they
came through the cemetery. It's lone
ly and rather dangerous place for
them to lie and so they got me to
frighten them so they will go around
hereafter.
"'And I half believe they will?'
grinned the death's head." "
"One of the folks with whom I wish
particularly to talk when 1 get to
Meadville is Altoona's commissioner
who has charge of the water depart
ment," declared City Commissioner
Harry F. Bowman, Superintendent of
Public Safety, yesterday prior to his
departure for the Crawford county
town to attend the annual convention
of the Pennsylvania Third Class City
League.
"That's the fellow that I'd like to
hunt up and talk shop to," smilingly
went on Commissioner Rowntan. "Fur
thermore, 1 want htm to let me have
lone of the water department reports
and to explain some of the workings
of the system—and why it costs so
much. For Instance, Aitoona, as i
understand, is supplied with water
from mountain springs and reservoirs
by a gravity system which is entirely
satisfactory." And it doesn't operate a
pump or burn a pound of coal to han
dle the water or filter a bit of It.
But," and Mr. Bowman's smile ex
panded to a large, broad grin. "Ai
toona charges sl3 for its water, and
Harrisburg. if you'll remember, has to
pump and filter every drop of its
water and charges only $5. Further
more, we can save money at it, too,"
finished Commissioner Bowman.
These are real vacation days on
Capitol Mill and very few of the heads
of departments are here, all taking
advantage of the close of August to
get in rest days. Governor Tener Is
in Massachusetts and Attorney Gen
eral Bell Is in Europe. Health Com
missioner Dixon. Banking Commis
sioner Smith, Highway Commissioner
Bigelow, Adjutant General Stewart,
who never goes away. Superintendent
Rambo and a few others are here, but
it is vacation time for most of them.

OFF FOR MEETINGS TODAY
Prominent Republicans Go to Pitts
burgh; Wilson Coming Not
Being Well Received
Coincident with the meeting of the
Republicans at Pittsburgh this after
noon State Chairman Roland S. Mor
ris is expected to have some conver
sations with Democratic leaders from
various counties about the difficulties
into which the McCormick machine's
campaign has fallen. The State chair
man was expected at the Market
Square windmill about 1 o'clock and
a number of men whose names were
not made public were booked to meet
him.
During the day there were denials
of stories that meetings of the Demo
cratic State committee or the execu
tive committee were contemplated. It
was stated that the campaign was pro
gressing and that no occasion had
arisen to require a meeting of the
committees. As a matter of fact, one
man pointed out, the fusion scheme
can be worked without the State com
mittee being consulted, things being
so framed that the bosses can do as
they will without running the risk of
encountering opposition t'roiri the men
directly elected by the people.
Hope of fusion is very lively about
the windmill, the silence of the
mourning beagle on the subject being
significant to those who recall how
it kept quiet when fusion was worked
in the county elections in 1911 and
when fusion games were, tried in later
years. State Chairman Morris has
always Insisted that fusion would be a
good thing and has been working to
bring it about on legislative elections.
County Chairman William H. Hor
ner. State Committeeman Frank A.
Smith, A. S. Cooper, secretary of the
Republican county com
mittee. and Senator E. E.
Beidleman have gone to Attending
Pittsburgh to attend the Committee
meeting of the Repuh- Meetings
lican State committee.
W. Harry Baker, secre
tary of the committee, left on Monday.
The meeting will be attended also by
County Chairman R. Jones Rife and
State Committeeman S. B. Sheller, of
Perry county, and by prominent Re
publicans of Cumberland, York and
Lebanon counties, who gathered here
at noon to go to the western city with
the Philadelphia and Eastern Penn
sylvania men.
Efforts to put out the fire in the
Blair county Democratic committee as
a result of machine methods provoking
the men elected by the
people will be made by
Blair Makes State Chairman Morris
Trouble*for and other bosses and
the Bosses if necessary Candidate
McCormick will stop off
on his way home from
Cambria county the latter part of the
week to stop the warfare. The Demo
cratic organizations in Philadelphia,
Luzerne, Susquehanna, Huntingdon
and Clearfield are in a more or i°ss
state of ferment and Morris does not
want Blair to be added to the list.
In fact, the whole Democratic pro
gram for the next month will be to
iron out differences so that the cam
paign can get started.
According to stories which are go
ing in the city, there is by no means
much of a shout over the statement
that President Wilson
is coming into the
State to make speeches Not Cheering
for the Democratic Over Coming
machine ticket. It is of President
generally re c ognlzed
that things are not.
from a. Democratic standpoint, what
they should be in regard to the Presi
dent in this State. If the President
comes in and makes his plea for elec
tion of Democratic congressmen it
would not affect the State ticket, argue
some, but McCormick is obsessed with
the idea of having the President speak
in his behalf. Some Democrats are
said to be urging that Bryan, Daniels
and their kind be kept out and to
point out that they will only irritate
many Democrats who are disgusted
with their policies.
Judging from what the llarrisburg
Patriot prints to-day. the Washington
party men in this community are not
taking any steps to
bring about fusion, but
Bull Moose are actively pushing

ing made by Chairman Mosey, who
will also fling out the party banner in
behalf of the dean and the State
ticket. The congressional and legis
lative candidates will speak beside
Lewis and Pinehot. On September 3
the two candidates will be in Wash

ITSELF
''rill" 11 " ,e Philadelphia Public ledger. J
The example- of the St. Louis busi
ness men who are planning to Una nip a
large part of the cotton crop ought to re
assure nervous Congressmen. The presi
dent of the St. l>ouis Clearing House in
tends to tell Secretary McAdoo to-day
that the Government need not concern
itself with the cotton situation, as pri
vate enterprise is ready and willing to
assume whatever risk there is In tiding
the planters over the emerßency. Tho
cotton Is to be stored in warehouses
and the hanks are to lend money on
the warehouse receipts.
This evidence that business is suffici
ent unto itself was not needed to con
vince experienced men of the foolish
ness of Government intervention. But
there Is group of shallow-pated dema
gogues whose leaders alwavs demand
that the Government shall step in
whenever there is an unusual business
situation, as if the Government could
suspend economic laws and change loss
into profit by a form of words written
on a piece of paper. All that was need
ed to save the cotton situation was to
give business men time enough to learn
.lust what conditions are Then busi
ness enterprise does all the rest. And
the same thing will happen In other
branches of trade if the Government
will only keep its hands off long
enough.

The carelessness of Justice of
the Supreme Court, in leaving a will
which is invalid because Ike failed to
have it properly witnessed, though it
was made sixteen years ago, recalls the
similar case of the late Chief Justice
Paxson. of this State. The Chief Jus
tice was reported to be a particularly
hard-headed and careful business man,
but after his death It was found that
through his neglect to have his will at
tested his desire to establish an agri
cultural school, to which he left the
bulk of his large fortune, could not be
carried out. The loss fell on the pub
lic, for the legal heirs had the will set
aside and divided the money.

Wilderness. The Nhambiquara are a
strange wild tribe, absolutely naked,
friendly and kindly. The Colonel says
thiH "NowherQ in Africa did we come

The short stories are:

No. 11
The man who is always
cheerfully willing to "make
good" seldom has to.
The merchant who has built
up the reputation of his estab
lishment through advertising is
usually eager to refund the.
money if the purchase Is not sat
isfactory. There Is security to
the purchaser in dealing with the
men who advertise.
But merchants of this kind are
seldom called upon to do any re
funding because they watch
closely goods and service.

DFSKKTING THE FIMFINOS
fFrom the Philadelphia Press.]
Completely indifferent to the warn
ings of all atuhorities familiar with
conditions In the Philippines and ac
quainted with the Filipino character,
the Democrats of the House are push
ing ahead with their ill-considered
scheme to turn the Filipinos adrift.
The Jones bill has now been favbrably
reported to the House. By its terms
it declares that It is the purpose of the
United States to grant the Philippines
complete independence "as soon as a
stable Government has been establish
ed." and thus does not at once put the
scuttle policv into effect. Nevertheless,
the power of the untrained natives to
do themselves mischief is proposed to
he greatly increased by abolishing the
Philippine Commission, now appointed
by the President of the United States,
and substituting for it a Senate elected
by the Filipinos.
WHY, INDEED?
[From the Chicago Tribune. 1
Why should the Government buy a lot
of old ships which will have to be sold
at a loss after the war or run at a loss
in competition with new ships run by
the very owners who are going to sell
now to panic-stricken Uncle Sam? Per
haps what is most needed at this stage
of the proceedings is some cracked ice
on the throbbing Congressional brow.

WAR
O'er glories gone the invaders march.
Weeps triumph o'er each leveled
arch:
Freedom, such as God hath given
i llnto all beneath His heaven.
With their breath, and from their
birth.
Though Guilt would sweep it from
the earth
With a tierce and lavish hand.
Scattering nations' wealth like sand,
Pouring nations' blood like water,
In imperial seas of slaughter!
But the heart and the mind.
And the voice of mankind,
Shall arise in communion—
And who shall resist that proud
union ?
The time is past when swords sub
dued—
Man may die, the soul's renewed;
Even in this low world of care
Freedom ne'er shall want an heir;
Million's breathe, but to inherit
Her forever hounding spirit—
When once more her hosts assemble
Tyrants shall believe and tremble.
—Lord Byron.
