WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUG. 26 POLICE RESPONSIBILITY THERE is a grrave phase of the alleged mysterious shooting af fair in the northern section of the city a few nights ago which cannot he concealed behind knowing winks and shrugging of shoulders and clairvoyant suggestion. Underneath the apparent indiffer ence of the public to the attitude of the police department is a serious muttering of criticism which must un dermine the confidence of the people in their chosen constabulary. Above and beyond the immediate offense is the more serious question of the duty of the police officials to protect the community and safeguard life and property. To assume that there is no public interest in an Indifferent attitude toward the offender or offenders on the part of the police department is to assume that the public cares nothing about what its police officials do in any case. There may be deplorable circum stances which justify leniency under certain conditions, but the shooting of a man full of holes and his refusal to make accusation against the one who has done the shooting constitute a situation demanding thorough police Investigation. Loss of public confidence in the character of its police department is the first step to an increase of crime and for that reason the utmost cir cumspection should he observed In the discharge of police duties. Out of the censored atmosphere of the European war oome some remarkable tales of heroism that are likely to have originated in the minds of the prolific writers who are describing the conflict at long range. There can be no doubt of the material for these stories, but It Is fair to assume that many of the graphic narratives that are now being told are pure fiction. THE WAR AND BUSINESS GEORGE F. WATT, general man ager of the Elliott-Fisher Type writer Company, gives American businessmen some sound advice In his article in the Telegraph of yes terday relating to tho war in Europe and Its effect on business conditions in this country. Mr. Watt had almost completed a tour of Europe on busi ness for his firm when hostilities com menced and he brings first-hand jknowledge of much value, which, in a ("very practical way, he applies to the iCltuation as he finds it here. Mr. Watt says that European busi nessmen see what Is dawning on the vision of our own financiers and manu facturers —that the war spells oppor tunity for trade extensions of large .magnitude as well as losses through the failure f European markets. Mr. Watt foresees that eventually •we shall not only regain our European itrade, but will absorb much of that ■of South America and the Orient, until recently controlled largely by the English, the Germans and the French. 'Mr. Watt is not foolishly optimistic ■and he understands that America must pay her share of the cost of the ■war in which she has no part, hut he kbelleves the new business we shall de velop "will offset the great commer cial losses that foreign wars are bound to cause In this country." Dropping bombs on defenseless wo men and children from airships Is not ■warfare, and the European nation that Indulges in It deserves the contempt of the civilized world. VISITING OLD SCENES THE Altoona Times has a lengthy and very readable account of the visit a few days since of Charles M. Schwab, the steel king, and his wife to the scene of Mr. Schwab's birth, a few miles from NVllliamsburg, in Blair county. Mr. and Mrs. Schwab slipped .quietly into the county from their summer home at Loretto, and, piloted by one of the old residents of Wil liamsburg, spent a day motoring among the scenes of Mr. Schwab's boyhood days. The millionaire put (business behind him entirely and on numerous of the aged people lof the community, recalling Incidents bnd happenings of the days before ;«nybody in Blair county suspected were entertaining In their midst |pne of the moneymaklng genuises of the century. He saw the humble cot age in which he was born and stood WEDNESDAY EVENING HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH AUGUST 26, for a time In silent contemplation of the little room tn which he first saw the light of day. I It Is a far cry from the mountain hamlet of Blair county to the com manding position that Mr. Schwab en- Joys to-day, and at first thought one might wonder why a man with so much to think about and so many of the enjoyments of the world at his beck and call should choose to spend a day of his vacation in such humble surroundings. But the call of our childhood comes again and again, some times very persistently, to all of us, he we of high or low degree. Few there are who do not entertain an affection that will never die for the place we knew as "home" in our early years. No matter how small it is, nor how its surroundings have changed. It was the scene of Joys we can never forget, and the time often comes that brings with It a keen de sire to go back again; to try, vainly mayhap, to live over those happy, happy days. Memory garbs the old home with a glamour that marble halls may not hold, and at the call of the days agone we go hurrying back to meet the shadows of the things that were, con tent to let the world of to-day roll on apace while we live 'mid the scenes of a rainbow-hued past. Steelton is in the midst of an im portant paving campaign, and has Just determined to award a contract for many of its hill streets to a company bidding considerably more than a com peting company in order to use material having a rough surface rather than asphalt. UNITING FOR BUSINESS RECENTLY Frank A. Vanderlip, president of the National City Bank of New York, delivered a remarkable address before the State Chamber of Commerce of New Jersey. Mr. Vanderlip la one of the recognized leaders in the financial world and what he has to say comes with special significance at this time. He believes that nearly everything that businessmen have to complain of in the political tendency of the day can be pretty directly traced to their own neglect of their political duties. On this point he says: The stake which business men have in the outcome is enormous. Great as it is, however, it is of no more concern to them, of no more import to the future happiness of their children, than it is to the con dition and outlook of the humblest of workers. . , _ A disaster to capital, a crippling and discouragement of directive ability, the disheartening of men of enterprise, will not have its effects confined to the class which you as delegates from the Chambers of Commerce represent. Its resu ts will encompass the whole social bodv. There is no man so humble that his interest is not as great as yours in the outcome. Mr. Vanderlip has set forth In this terse and convincing way the very fundamental principle that is now at stake in the present serious business dilemma. There is an alarming in crease of paternalism under the ex isting administration at Washington and we are plunging on along the lines of theoretical government in such a way as to cause thoughtful and con structive minds to pause and ask, whither are we drifting? The con centration of authority in a central government and the elimination of the freedom of the State and local governments is a serious proposition, which, as Mr. Vanderlip observes, is a significant phase of our political life. The constructive forces of the coun try have been silent for years under the calumny and the widespread eriU cism of little men, and during the last few years there has come into the public life of the nation a large num ber of half-baked theorists who have vaunted their ideas of government and business and pretty much everything else at the expense of the prosperity and happiness of the people. And until the more sane and thoughtful men and women realize that these false teachers are creating distrust and breaking down the barriers of sanity there will be no change for the better. In the opinion of Mr. Vanderiip It ought to be the business of the Cham ber of Commerce and the other organizations of businessmen to see to it "that every misstatement of fact, whether made In Congress, in the press or in any public utterance, is challenged. Let men understand that loose statements, that misstate, ments, can no longer go carelessly on." The time has come when common sense must prevail in this country and the demagogues and the over-ambi tious men who for their own purposes are misleading the people shall be driven to the rear. Appeals to preju dice and to class hatred and to the discontented should be crushed as one would crush the viper, and with as little consideration. "TEDDY" AS A WAR IjORD HOW often nowadays do we hear the remark. "It's a good thing 'Teddy' isn't President; he cer tainly would have us in a war with some nation!" But is this attitude fair to the dis tinguished citizen of Oyster Bay? An admirer, discussing this tendency to paint the Colonel as a flre-eating statesman, says: During the seven and one-half years of his administration not one single shot was fired against a for eign foe. Speaking of htm as a war lord, wits the peace of Portsmouth the action of a war lord? The win ning of the Nobel peace prize clearly points out that he is not a war lord. He did not go to war with Venezuela merely because he declined to be irritated by the ac tions of a weak opponent. If Mr. Wilson had followed his example and sent the battle fleet around the world the great European conflict now being waged could have been averted. The man who was once called hasty and unsafe did more for the permanent peace of the world than any other diplomat of his day. Colonel Roosevelt may not always be in harmony with the universal peace advocates for, like many of his fellow countrymen, he believes In an efficient navy as the best guarantee of peace, but the winner of an inter national peace prize can hardly be characterized as a war lord. The south of Ireland and Ulster, It appears, are out gunning together for j stray Germans. J EVENING CHAT 1 What are probably the largest flocks of blackbirds seen In years have been ohaerved In the vicinity of the city the last week or ton days, and as though they knew that they were protected by law, and indeed by public opinion, they come right into the city, some having been seen settling In clouds in fields in the lower end of the city, out on the Hill and in the Tenth ward. Reservoir Park is a common chatter ing ground for the blackbirds and some of the squads have been seen foraging in Capitol and Riverside Parks. One of the reasons advanced for the size of the flocks is that they have tncreased through the operation of the law protecting them because of their bug-destroying proclivities, shoot ing of the grackels, purple wings and eowbirds. as they are variously known, having been stopped last fall. Orni thologists says that there is nothing unusual tn the gathering of the birds at this time of the year In and about Harrisburg. In some years gone by they have been noticed flocking about August 1. The birds commence to get together about the time of the wheat harvest, dozens having been noted in the Cumberland Valley on July 4 and in Lebanon Valley about July 10. For weeks farmers in the lower end of Dauphin county have '>een reporting many blackbirds in pasture fields and they have been numerous in the vicin ity of Middletown. The farms about Camp Hill also appear to be favorite places for thf assembling of the birds and men who have been observing say that there are a couple of huge flock's forming, one over around Shiremans town and another on the hills back of Steelton. There are probablv other mobilization points for the birds and shortly before they head for the south in the middle of October there will be further uniting of flocks which will be well worth watching. For years the birds have prone south right through the Cumberland Valley, the passage of the fliers being in regular clouds. Theodore Forshey. the first assistant foreman of the Relly Hose Company got in on the Millersburg fire although his company did not go to the blaze. When he heard about it his zeal for service caused him to hustle to the place on the first train and he worked throughout the fire and then in getting things straightened out afterward. He was complimented for his work. Dauphin countlans, especially those who attended the gs-eat reunion of the Blue and the Gray at Gettysburg last year, will regret to hear of the illness of Rrigadier-General Hunter Ligget, of the I'nited States Army. He was commander of the great encampment and was one of the hip figures, win ning the friendship of thousands. Last year he was ordered to the Mexican border, commanding the Fourth Bri gade. at Texas City, after having served at the army war college, in \\ ashlngton. He was taken ill a short time ago and ordered to Hot Springs for treatment. The lions exhibited at Paxtang Park furnished their own advertisement on Monday morning as they were taken through tho streets. The hpasts had gone through the trip from Johnstown and were not inclined to be very quiet. They had been in their cars all night and wanted air. So when they were taken along the streets thev "roared and growled beautifully. The result was that people went to doors to see what all the noise was about and the Paxtang Park lions were immediately talked about. The lions roared all the way out Derry street. Men who have been observing the condition of the corn crop in Dauphin, Cumberland and Lebanon counties sav that except for some fields on hillsides and some located so that thev get the whole sweep of the wind the damage done to crops by the wind has not neen as great as feared. Of course, on some farms the damage has been heavy, but the storms appear to have caused a condition in regard to the corn crop very much like that which periodically afflicts tlie peach crop before it is gathered. Those Harrisburgers who have been in Germany are telling of the kaiser's army and the famous "goose step" causes much discussion. "The step is one of the oddest things about the troops." said one man. "It was de vised by the kaiser and consists of men stepping out with the leg rigid. Then they bring the foot down with a slam, l ou can Imagine the unearthly racket it would makfl if a brigade would march through Market Square. It would be 'crash, crash, crash.' No wonder they sang between steps in Brussels." Another mari tells an in teresting story about the kaiser. "You have all heard how he rides about Berlin on fine horses." said he. "Well, when he starts from Potsdam he goes in an auto. So does his horse until he guts to Berlin environs. Then the horse is taken out of his auto and the kaiser gets out of his. The animal is fresh and spirtted and the kaiser goes in with a whirl." The Rev. Dr. M. D. Llchleiter, chief clerk of the Department of Agricul ture, has been unusually honored at the parent Chautauqua in New York State this year. The doctor has been one of the regular attendants at the great educational gathering for years and was re-elected president of the alumni of 1893 for the sixteenth time. He was the marshal of the First divi sion on Recognition Day and led 200 persons through the Golden Gate, one of the traditional ceremonies at the Chautauqua. 1 WELL KNOWN PEOPLE | —H. P.

Attempt to Cross Potomac Washington, Aug. 26.—The right wing of General Sheridan's line, held by Nelson's cavalry division, was this morning advanced, and met the enemy in a severe engagement, which was continued up to the time of de parture of the train from Harper's Ferry. The attack was made in con sequence of movements on the part of the enemy showing a design of crossing the Potomac river on the right wing of Sheridan's position. i HORNER REPORTS DAUPHIN RIGHT Pronounced Growth of Republican Sentiment Throughout the Whole County Lately BRUMBAUGH TO CARRY IT Palmer-McCormick Leagues, Boys' Auxiliaries and Other Demo cratic Schemes On William H. Horner, Dauphin, coun ty's Republican chairman, will make a line report on the situation in this county when the Republican State committeemen meet to-day in Pitts burgh. The chairman has gone over the whole county and has talked with men from every district and the situa tion is regarded as excellent. The Republican lines have been re formed and the sentiment, which was divided two years ago, is now for Re publican success. Dr. Brumbaugh is especially strong throughout the county and men who were against Senator Penrose two years ago are for hini now. According to reports many Democrats will refuse to follow any fusion combination on the ground that it would be Infamous to unite with Bull Moosers, whose chief has assailed President Wilson more vio lently than any Republican. Badly rattled by the growth of Re publican sentiment and the turning of many men against Vance C. McCor inick, Democratic can didate for Governor, be cause of the boss meth- Forming ods used in his selection, Leagrucs the personal followers of Nowadays McCormick are scouting and organizing "leagues" with the aid of a few men who are hoping for the support of what is left of McCormick's machine next year when the county officers are to be elected. The scheme Is to form Palmer-McCormick leagues in the small towns, and this has been found to be easy because there are enough Democrats who have read of the lavish campaign expenditures in the prima ries to want to be in line. Then, too, there is an impressive list of officers, so that those whose vanity leans in that direction may be tickled. While the Pa-Mc leagues are being formed in enginehouses and various other places throughout the county, the famous banner of the primary campaign Pa-Mc Will which floated over Restore the Market street near Palo Banner the Square, has been taken in for repairs. The excuse is that the big storm of a week ago ripped off a piece of Palmer's nose. As a matter of fact the portraits of both Palmer and McCormick resembled pictures which had been taken when both had been suffering from the shock of re ports about Republican strength and the rains and winds had caused them to grow still paler. So the storm of fered a good excuse to take down the $162.34 banner and paint new pictures thereon. The Pa-Mc League, which has been withdrawn to its final line of defense in the Patriot Building, will hold an ice cream social on the evening of the day the banner is re stored. By that time some assurance regarding the funds for the campaign will be in hand and delegations from the leagues "organized' at Halifax, Dauphin, Enhaut, Inglenook, Hills dale and Rattling Run will attend. Each vistior will be given a pink slip entitling him to two plates of ice cream and a look at the Patriot lino types. Plans for some forlorn hope work were made In the Democratic State windmill last night following the sixth of State Chairman Roland 8. Morris' receiving days. The 'Gloomy Days day was advanced Around the from Tuesday to Big Windmill Thursday because the chairman wants to help organize the boys' auxiliary in Philadelphia later In the week, but the function was nevertheless a suc cess. Joseph F. Gfiffey and Arthur McKean brought a lot of reports about (lisorganizations among the Western Pennsylvania Democrats due to the arbitrary distribution of patronage and other men talked of troubles in their home districts. Jim Blakslee, Fourth Assistant Postmaster General, took some more time off his job at Washington and was at headquarters. Of course, with the official "heads man" around patronage was not dis cussed. Chairman Morris went back to Philadelphia last night with gloomy thoughts and Guffey went to Pittsburgh to see the Republicans at work. This morning Candidate Mc- Cormick went to Cambria county, where he was given a terrific beating in the primaries, to try and line up the workers. Cambria is next to Blair, where Democrats are in open revolt against the machine. The Philadelphia Press of to-day gives this interesting bit of informa tion regarding the "United and Har monious Democracy" of which the mourning Bromley beagle occasionally Gives Off speaks: " 'Without re- New Dcfi gard to the organization by the reorganizer fac- tion of Democracy of the Boy Scouts and others to work for the Democratic success, the legally con stituted Democratic city committee, with Its trained workers, purposes go ing ahead with utmost diligence get ting out the vote,' said Chairman B. Gordon Bromley yesterday—evidenc ing again the clash which exists be tween the two wings of the party. Mr. Bromley added that while the Pal mer-McCormick League, under re organizer control, was at full liberty to organize its own city committee, as is planned at a meeting to be held to night, the Old Guard committee would proceed on its own course and In its own way." A Pittsburgh dispatch gives the fol lowing regarding the visit of Senator Penrose to the workshops of the world: "After conferring with representative labor 1 n g men and visiting some Penrose of the great Industrial Certain plants of Pitts burgh, of West where he investigated conditions and talked with many of the wage-earners, Sen ator Boies Penrose confidently predict ed that Allegheny and other counties of Southwestern Pennsylvania would record heavy Republican majorities in November, because the labor element will vote the Republican ticket. Pitts burgh, to a greater extent than any other laboring district In the country, he said, shows the destructive effects of Democratic tariff legislation. "Senator Penrose will go to Waynes burg, Green county, for a speech on Thursday night. He will be In Har rlsburg Friday night. The following night, Saturday, there will be a State gathering of Republicans in Fogles vllle, J>ehigh county, where the State campaign will be formally opened. Senator Penrose returns to Pittsburgh the latter part of the. month and will spend two weeks here, radiating out of Pittsburgh for trips to western county scats."

IITTERSTQTHEEDITOR 1 GHRSIAN VIEW OP WAR To the Editor of the Telegraph: I am a reader of your estimable paper, and thus l'ar 1 have found you unbiased anent the European coun tries. But 1 read two items to-day, August 24, which should not be Ignored. | If an Knglish novelist is to be the guide and mouthpiece of the nations, then I we ought to fall on our knees and beg for mercy to let us live. The item 1 refer to was headed: "Destroy Germany, l| or England Will Perish." Of course, this is the desire of England, as well as all the rest of the enemies of Ger many. The fact is, that France has de clared over twenty times war against 1 Germany during three centuries, mho is the disturber of peace? When Bis marck united Germany, 1870, during the Franco-Prussian War, it became a mighty power and remained thus unt'l this day. But it has never abused its. power—peace and prosperity reigned during all this time from 1871-1914. Whereas England robbed the Boers of their liberty, and aided Japan to thrash Kussia. Now they a*e friends, Japan included—that savors strong after con spiracy. They all know that one na tion Is not able to conquer Germany; now they must all join in, with one ob ject, to destroy Germany. Germany did not ruin France in 1871—It made France mind Its own business. A more meddlesome nation Is not found on the face of the earth, and England is the same. Although they have come to grief in America, England has not learned its lesson as yet. I hope that England will get whipped. Should any English say ought against, then 1 say: I have as much right to wish this as the English novelist has to wish that Germany should be destroyed. The Steelton subjects of the Kaiser did well to enter protest against the English action to carry the war to Asia —it Is an act beyond all decency. The Japs have not taken Kalp-Chow as yet—and it may be that their navy will he condemned to inactivity, just like the English is at present. The Allies seem to put their trust now in Hussia. Let me tell you, al though the Russians have entered upon German territory, they will not remain there for any length of time. It may be easier for Germany to strike the Russian army on its own territory. As yet Germany has not been beaten, and I hope It will never be. Yours, very truly, C. F. TIEMANN, 206 South Third street.

OPENING THE CAMPAIGN | From the Philadelphia Bulletin.] The European war, both in its di version of public attention from local topics of discussion and in the develop ment of new phases of domestic prob lems, is likely to make the task of cam paign managers, particularly those on the offensive, somewhat more difficult than was anticipated a few months ago. Yet the underlying situation and the permanent issues, which are to last and which are within the province of the voters of Pennsylvania to determine in the coming elections, have not changed a dot by reason of the quarrels of Eu rope. And the duty which confronts the Republican State committee meet ing at Pittsburgh on Wednesday, and the candidates who immediately there after will inaugurate the campaign. Is identical witli that which was so gen erally recognized two months ago. No necessity of artificially preparing issues exists this year. Nor should any artificially exploited issues, which for the moment may make specious appeal to public sentiment, he allowed to di vert attention from the material points of (he contest. The battle-line is to be a straight-out array of the Democratic administration against Republicanism, of the innovations of the Wilson ad ministration in tariff policy, in revenue taxation, in regulation of and Interfer ence with business by the creation of the Interstate Trade Commission and otherwise, and in its general attitude toward industry and trade, against the traditional support and maintenance of business and Industrial employment of the Republican policy under which Pennsylvania has prospered and of which it has heretofore been the rec ognized exponent. There can be no altering of the lines or the Issues. The spectacle of war, with its devastation of Europe only em | phasizes the importance and absolute necessity of so developing our own re sources and Industries that the United States shall he absolutely self-sustain ing under whatever emergency may arise, which principle is the genius of Republican policy and the keynote of party campaigns.

THE "ANGKI/' [Dewisburg News.] With no chance of being elected Gov- 1 ernor over that giant intellect and man of the plain people, Dr. Martin j G. Brumbaugh, Vance McOormlck, the snobbish hothouse millionaire, is showing what a fool a man can make of himself and how many fools there are who trail after his inherited dol lars. He spent more, than thirty-three thousand dollars to get a counterfeit Democratic nomination, and Is now being played l>y numerous hangers-on as a honey boy "angel." He's the softest thing who has come along the line for some time, and many there are who are pulling his leg which the tyro believes to indicate his personal popularity! Lately he has become impudent and abusive. He even expects Republicans to stand aside and make a fuss over him. Recently on two occasions, at Blain and Path Valley, the vain little money cock had the assurance to talk politics when reqested to refrain from it by the management and which the other speakers did.
