BRUMBAUGH'S declaration in favor of a sub mission of the local option proposition to the people will all Its supporters save those are more Interested In playing politics than they are in the success pf the measure Itself. Coincident (With the announcement of his candl jdacy In the primary campaign the 'distinguished gubernatorial nominee the Republican part}' declared: i The problem of the liquor traf fic Is a vital one. I submit that local option Is a practical solution. In the same declaration of prin ciples Dr. Brumbaugh said: I agree that we need a moral standard in all public service. I welcome a campaign upon the great moral issues or the day. Let us be honestly frank and frankly honest with the people.- And in his Pittsbugh speech, reaf firming the pledges of his primary platform, he said: For these I now stand. For them I shall stand steadily to the end. No other course could appeal to me as honest and Just. The army of Soodly men who voted for me In [ay did so upon that platform. I ask them and their fellow-citizens to do so in November. They can do so confidently. Having put my hand to the plow, I shall not look back, but forward, plowing as straight a furrow as I know how to plow—as straight as God helps me to plow. These are the words of a sincere p.nd honest man who means to deal fairly with the people and to stoop to )io deception to win their votes. It is going to be Impossible for the fcmbltious coterie that has purchased (control of the Democratic party for a little time to persuade the voters of Pennsylvania that the Republican [ticket is not Immeasurably superior Jn every way to the boss-chosen and [White House-sponsofed combination Arrayed against It. So that while a few weeks must felapse before the verdict of the people have been recorded there can be Ho doubt in the minds of those who ere at all in touch with public senti fcnent and the trend of public opinion bs to the result. The election of the (Republican State ticket by a large (vote is assured. Gradually the dangerous rocks and £tumps and tree trunks outside the irtver wall are being removedj It is ex pected that as soon as the river shall piave receded to the low-water stage nhe cleaning up of the debris will pro ceed vigorously. NO LABOR PARADE; WHY ? »C'R the first time in thirty years, i|h there will be no Labor Day pa ;J. rade in New York city this Fall. I The labor unions have decided fto take the money the parade would (cost and use It to relieve unemployed (union men. j In times past, in New York city, pnany thousands of union men have ■narched on the first Monday in Sep tember. Their parades have been jepectacular. No money was spared In knaking them a success. The horses In the parade were union-shod and the knen union-equipped. There were pinion bands and union badges. There kvere union-made uniforms and union Refreshments. So that the expense jto the union men for their Labor Day parade, in one way or another, led fo an expenditure running into a great um of money. All this Is to be fore gone this year and the unions, very icommendably. will turn the money )to help their unemployed brothers. This Instance of r'aetlcal charity on the part of union organizations is attracting wide attention owr the country and has caused considerable comment, especially in view ot Presi dent Wilson's statement th.it ttw hard times are purely "psychological." But why should workingmen In a naturally prosperous country like this be compelled to forego their Labor Day parade in order to help needy fellows? Democratic tariff tinkering Is the answeis and here is the abso lute proof of It. Imports In July this year exceeded the Imports for July of last year, under the Payne-Aldrlch tariff act, by $21,116,363. In other iworda the country has been flooded iwlth millions of dollars worth of the products of cheap European labor. There was a steady Increase In the importations of cheap European goods iuntll the war began, and then foreign jsommerce to this country ended so V ___ FRIDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH AUGUST 28, 1914 suddenly as to bring the Administra tion face to face with a shortage of ¥100,000.000. According to the figures on im ports and exports Issued by the De partment of Commerce, the July lm --rts aggregated ¥160,178,133, com pared with $189,061,770 In July of last year. The July exportß were $164,- 082,235, as against $160,990,778. The foreign commerce of the United States In July, 1914, amounted to $214,260,- 358, an Increase of $14,207,810, and this increase was all on the side of im ports. For the seven-month period ended with July this year, the total trade was valued at $2,342,019,655, or $3,902,157 below that for a corres ponding period a year ago. These figures clearly show that what Republicans said would happen has happened. Foreign made goods were being brought into this country, when the war stopped shipments, by the million dollars worth. They were crowding our own products, made by well paid workmen, off the market. The result has been Idleness for thou sands of men, and no Labor Day pa rade. United States Senator Root declared In a recent speech that Democratic ex perimenting with the tariff had been carried out in a spirit of hostility to American Industries. Nobody can doubt the truth of this assertion when he looks about him and sees the dire re sults of the Democratic tinkering. WORRIED BOSSES AS was to be expected, the Demo cratic newspapers supporting the Palmer-McCormick faction find nothing to commend In the Republican nominees or the platform of principles enunciated by the State committee at Pittsburgh. They pre tend to believe that the party Is wedded to Its idols and Is reactionary beyond recovery. Unfortunately for the little men who are wabbling around In the shoes of such men as Randall and Wallace and Wolverton and other Democrats of their type, they cannot appreciate or understand the progressive record of the party which they now profess to detest. So well assured are the Republican leaders of the substantial sympathy of thousands of voters not Identified with the Republican party, but who will support Its candidates this year, that the closing plank of the Pittsburgh platform has peculiar significance. It is an open Invitation to all voters to rally to the colors of the party of protection and prosperity and reads as follows: We ask the support of all Penn sylvanians in our efforts to bring about the restoration of prosperity to Pennsylvania and extend a cor dial welcome to all electors, regard less of past party affiliations, who are in sympathy with this declara tion of principles. Perhaps nothing in the whole situa tion has so disturbed the dreams of the McCormlcks and Palmers as the rapidly-gathering clouds of Demo cratic unrest and disfavor. Building up a political machine upon resent ment and hate""and revenge is a diffi cult Job, as these little men have dis covered. Instead of welding together the elements of the discordant Dem ocracy of Pennsylvania, they have done everything within their power to still further antagonize those who have been out of Joint with the re organization faction. And, as a result of this course of action, there are to day In Pennsylvania a hundred thou sand Democrats who have decided to unhorse the accidental leaders who are now riding for a fall. Instead of discouragement, such as weakened the Republican organiza tion two years ago, there is now con fidence and harmony and determina tion among Republicans everywhere throughout the State to restore to power and Influence in the national counsels the party whose record has been one of constant progress and substantial achievement. Not In many years has there been such an align ment of employer and employe with one purpose—the restoration of pros perity and the welfare of all the people—as in the present campaign. It is, therefore, of little moment what the Palmers and the McCor mlcks and their sponsors may say or do in the present contest. The voters have already made up their minds and the overwhelming triumph of the Republican party November 3 is as certain as that day follows night. It is asserted, as a result of District Attorney Whitman's investigation of the cost of living since the European war began, that the United States could stop the war by placing an embargo on wheat, flour and other products. That might be all very well for the fellows who started the fighting, but how about the Innocent millions who would be left to starve. A Mitchell Palmer returned to Wash ington yesterday, after the decision of the House to dock every member ab sent the amount of his dally salary. He was quite peeved and vented his spleen In another of his yammering attacks on Senator Penrose. It Is noV admitted by the Wilson ad ministration that the war tax Is In evitable, but not a word is said about the reduction of the revenues of the country by the wiping out of the pro tective tariff that placed the burden upon the foreign importers and not up on the people of the United States. Not satisfied with the difficulties which now confront this nation, the ad ministration at Washington Is fussing over independence for the Filipinos, having gone so far as to seml-offlcially submit for the approval of the leaders in the archipelago the measure which Is now pending In Congress. An Ad ministration proposal Is thus sent out before Its consideration by the legisla tive department as the program of the people of the United States. Ia there no end to the blundering? Senator Penrose doesn't even blink an eye when the pea-shooter of one A. Mitchell Palmer Is turned In his direc tion. He simply goes on his way re minding the people of the effscts of Democratlo tariff tinkering, the neces sity for the Republican protective sys tem. and the direful results of amateur statesmanship. Palmer may pose and declaim until the cows come home, but the people are listening now to those w*io represent the constructive, and not the destructive forces of the country. I EVENING CHAT I People who have been observing the freight traffic thrctugh this city on the Pennsylvania and Reading lines have been struck by the enormous amounts of soft coal which aro belnj? rushed to seaboard. Rushed Is the proper word because Immense trains of steel cars are being hurried through the classification yards hourly, some of the trains being made up solidly for New York or Philadelphia or Boston. These trains come from central coun ties and whole train loads are con signed to some firms, there being a strong suspicion that they are going abroad. Not long ago there was a story current In the city that the Italian government had been a large buyer of coal and that the orders given would keep a couple of mines busy for weeks to come. Some of the trains brought through the city come by way of the Connellsville cutoff, being de livered to the Rutherford yards by Western Maryland crews. These are largely solid trains of steel cars of the largest size and are probably loaded into ships a few days after they are dumped from the coal tipples. The war In Europe has had the effect of stirring up the soft coal indiystry and the orders given lately and In pros pect should keep many of the mines in the Allegheny mountain district and in western counties running for some time to come. Postmaster Frank C. Sites, of this city, treasurer of the National Asso ciation of Postmasters, has been com missioned with the pleasant duty of presenting a gavel to Isador Sobel, former postmaster of Erie, and for two years president of the national asso ciation. The gavel was made by order of the recent convention at St. Paul and the handle contains metals of Mr. Sobel's native State. Much of the success of the 1914 summer camp for boys and girls con ducted on McCormick's Island under the direction of the Park Department, was undoubtedly due to the staff of instructors that Supervisor J. K. Staples had selected "for the purpcise and among those who helped ma terially to maintain the standard dur ing the latter part of the season was D. Jay Hoffert, a brother'of Assistant Park Superintendent J. R. Hoffert. The junior Mr. Hoffert is a Cornell man and put in much of his summer vacation with the boys at the island camp. Speaking about the presence of for mer National Guardsmen of Pennsyl vania in regiments of Francis Joseph's empire and the fact that some of the best soldiers In the coal regions were men of foreign birth, a National Guardsman tells this interesting anec dote of one of the anthracite coal strikes: In one instance, near Tama qua, it was reported to the command ing officer that a trumpeter had been blowing signals to the strikers when ever the soldiers were seen comtng into the vicinity. The matter was Immediately investigated and it was found that the man was a crippled miner, who was then working at shoe making at his home in the Panther Creek Valley. He was a Spaniard by birth and had served as a musician in the Fifth United States Cavalrv at the same time that a sergeant in the Gov ernor's Troop had been in that regi ment. Both soldiers were in quarters at Fort Leavenworth at the same time, although then unacquainted, and they had many a chat together afterward. The man was an excellent citizen and was only keeping up his trumpet prac tice. Dr. H. A. Surface, the State Zoolo gist. says that half the people do not know how to eat a peach. This is a great peach year and some splendid specimens are being shown in the city. The trouble with most people when they come to eat this most delicious of our fruits, says the zoologist, is that most of them pare the peach. The finest flavor is immediately beneath the skin and this is the part that is cut off. What should be done, he con tends, is to slip off the skin of the peach. This retains the flavor and some of the most delicate flesh. ■ A considerable agitation Irf going on among people in the city for some solution of the high school problem. It is recognized that conditions are be coming through the increase of popu lation and extension of courses that something must be done soon and the expedients adopted to care for the pupils are being much discussed The approach of school days will cause this topic to be uppermost and the time to get the matter settled is during the winter. The arrangement of the battleflags in the State Capitol has been warmly commended by many of the Sixteeners who were here for the reunion and mos of yesterday and part of to-day ithe cases were surrounded by people who were picking out the flags under which their fathers had marched. The plan of removing the flags from the cramped quarters in the State Museum to the great rotunda has been praised by those who can appreciate next to the veterans themselves the historic emblems of Pennsylvania's warfare. 1 WELL KNOWN PEOPLE 1 —Dr. Charles H. Schlesman, of Al lentown, who was caught in Germany with his son by the war, has returned home after some exciting adventures. —Mayor Armstrong, of Pittsburgh, Is insisting that food depots where food can be bought cheaply, should be provided. —Hamilton Tilley, of Ashland, who was one of the men mentioned for State president of the Elks, has been prominent In politics for years. —Dr. and Mrs. George F. Baker, of Philadelphia, are in the Adirondacks. —J. M. Harnes, the Whi'temarsh golfer, won the western championship at Minneapolis. —Frank P. Cumminga, who analyzed the short comings of the third class city law for the convention at Meadville, has been city solicitor of Wllliamsport for years. A RETURN TO SANITY [From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.] A return to sanity has been evident In the political world for some time. We pointed out more than a month ago that the primaries In the Middle West demonstrated this fact. Impetus to the flare-back from demagogy has been given by the great war. It has brought the American people up short, sobered them, taught them the danger of en trusting their affairs to babblers and experimentalists, visionaries and muck rakers, who are thirsty for public sal ary and blatant notoriety. The tragedy of the times forbids recklessness. AN EVENING THOUGHT No impulse Is too splendid for the simplest task; no task is too simple for the most splendid im pulse.—Phillips Brooks. I HOME FOLKS GREET "MART" BRUMBAUGH Notable Reception Given by Hunt ingdon Countians to the Re publican Nominee Today BACK TO THE HOME GROUND Montgomery County Democrats Engage in Brawl; Bull Moos ers Stand by Lewis This Is Brumbaugh Day in Hunt ingdon county and the home folks are going to give a greeting to the Repub lican nominee for Governor that will show to the whole State that the Juni ata valley, which has been a leader in independent movements for years, is solidly behind its distinguished son. Reports from Huntingdon county in dicate that not only the people of that strenuously active county are going to greet the man whose fame as an educator is national, but that folks from Blair, Bedford. Juniata, Centre, Mifflin and even from Pern', are going to unite . with them In attesting in terest in Dr. Brumbaugh. Dr. Brumbaugh is expected to meet his relatives at the Brumbaugh fam ily reunion to-day and to-night will go to the county seat, where there will be a reception In the public square. It had been planned for the opera house, but that is too small. To-morrow the doctor will go to Le high county to address the voters. Dr. Brumbaugh will be here next week to attend the Grangers' picnic, as he is to be one of the speakers oo Republican Day. This is to be the big day Brumbaugh of the picnic and Coming to many people who Grangers have heard Dr. Brum baugh speak in the educational meetings which he has addressed will want to hear him again. A record-breaking crowd is expected on the day he speaks. Senator Penrose is also to be a speaker on Republican Day. The Senator, who Is due in Harrisburg to night, will meet a number of his friends here and go to-morrow to Le high county, where he is to speak. Frank B. McClaln and Dr. Henry Houck were here to-day and are plan ning to go to Lehigh where a great Republican gathering will be held. His strong and straight-from-the shoulder declaration that he will stand firmly upon his primary plat form, upon which he made his appeal for nomination, has de- Brumbaugh's lighted his legion of Platform admirers and discom- Pleases fited the opposition. Dr. Brumbaugh ad dressed himself exclusively to State questions, ignoring the party platform to the extent of declaring that he would continue to abide by the prom ises he made to the voters in advance of the primary election last May, in cluding an endorsement of local op tion. "What have you to say of the local option omission in the plat form?" Dr. Brumbaugh was asked. His reply was: "It was not omitted." This was construed as notice that he would not regard the State platform as binding upon him in matters upon which he had taken his stand before the primary election. This was a keen disappointment to the opponents of the Republican State ticket, who had declared that Dr. Brumbaugh "would not longer be able to evade either endorsing or re pudiating Penroseism" No reference is made In the party platform to Colonel Roosevelt, but Dr. Brumbaugh, in his speech, "invited the thousands of good people In the Progressive party to Join me In an earnest and effective effort to make the people of the Commonwealth happy, prosperous and contented." Considerable entertainment is being afforded to the people of Dauphin county by way of a curtain raiser for the Fall campaign by the organization of a line of Leagues Palmer-McCormick lea- Adding gues. The parent league Pleasure has been moved from one of the McCormick properties in Market Square to another and concentrated in the Patriot building. Meanwhile lea gues are being organized in every place where enough men can be found to fill the impressive list of officers. All persons enrolled as members are g'ven pictures of Candidate McCor mick before the primary campaign began. Thus far four leagues have been formed and the returns from Manada Hill, Stoneglen, Hecks and Mahantongo are not in yet and the re port from Bindnaugles Church Is hourly expected. People attending the Enterline picnic to-morrow will be in vited to become members of the lea gue and to help bear the campaign ex penses. According to dispatches from Nor ristown the reorganization gangsters were balked in their effort to get hold of the Montgo me r y county machine. By the very narrow mar- Old Guard gin of two votes Har- Wins Out vey Christman, of Lin- In Fight field, was re-elected chairman of the Dem- ocratlc county committee over Wallace Keely, of Norristown. The vote was 52 to 50. Mr. Chrlstman was the nom inee of the "Old Guard" wing of the Democracy, while Mr. Keely repre sented the Palmerltes. The "Old Guard" also carried all of the other officers, the ballot resulting thus: Vice chairman, Frank Clark, Norristown, 46; F. J. Harrigan, of Lower Merlon, 44; secretaries, Dr. J. J. Kane, Norris town, 50; Charles O'Neill, Norristown, 51; Irving Helltlebeltle, Pottstown, 45; E. J. Welder, Pcnnsburg, 41. The lat ter two represented the reorganiza tion. By virtue of his otflce as county chairman Mr. Christman was also nominated for the office of treasurer. There was much bitterness shown In the contest. Charles D. McAvoy. an "Old Guard" leader. In seeking to di vide two combatants, was roughly handled. The Dauphin county Bull Moosers last evening emphasized their adher ence to William Draper Lewis as their candidate for gover nor by arranging for a Bull Moose reception for htm To Stick By when he comes to this Bean I/owls city next week. The following account of their prapar all on s, which shows they mean business, is taken from the Patriot: "The Dau phin County Progressive League last night appointed J. W. Davis, George F. Potts, D. E. Taylor, Dr. B. Frank Smith, County Chairman Mosey and CltyChalrman Dunlap on the reception committee to meet Gifford Pinchot and "William Draper Lewis next Thursday. The committee will go to Williams Grove where the Washing ton party candidates are to speak and' esdort them to this city for the open air meeting to be held in Market Square. Prior to the addresses a big Washington party banner will be thrown across Market street at Third street. A brief program, which has not yet been completed, will be given iduring th« unveiling of the banner."

THE OTHER SIDE OF IT To the Editor of the Telegraph: Will you kindly publish the follow ing for the benefit of a few working men: On last Monday evening, the 24th, some of our men were arrested on the hill in the rear of the Shamrock fire house, for, you might say, nothing. Of course, we had a small cask of beer that we purchased and paid for and had it taken out there to a plaoe where we thought we were away from almost every one, and no one would be dis turbed. But we suppose some one sent for the police, who came and arrested the six of us. Now, there was no one drunk, not one, but they took us Just the same, and on the following day they held our hearing, at which we had no say at all. Of course, I should say It was their hearing they had; their say only, and that say was $5 each, which we had to pay. Now we feel and know that this was not a Just deal, but we all know that election time Is near, and we suppose that those Democrats will need these S3O soon, and we suppose our votes, too. but Nit Those Democrats could make us cough up our hard-earned five apiece, but not our votes; no, not one. I. N. JITRED. Harrisburg, Pa., Aug. 28, 1914. DR. BRUMBAUGH'S SPEECH (Pittsburgh Gazette Times) In formally accepting the Repub lican nomination for governor of Pennsylvania at last evening's State Committee meeting and rally In Pitts burgh Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh frankly stated his position and pur poses. He enters the campaign com missioned by direct nomination at the primaries of last May and stands squarely on the p' licles he declared in the Spring. These include jus tice to labor, good roads, local option, state civil service, submission of the amendment providing for woman's suffrage, reorganized treatment of public charities, and wider freedom in municipal regulation. Dr. Brumbaugh promises the peo ple of the state that he will not abate principle for preferement. He pro poses to travel the straight road. He submits his record as a guarantee that he can be relied upon to keep his pledges and do his duty. He re pudiates any notion that he is ham pered by alliances which bind him to punish enemies or reward friends. He invites all men who are progres sively Republican to join him in the project further to advance the com monwealth. Dr.Brumbaugh's reminder of the de velopments of two years ago, of the manner In which opportunists misled voters out of the party, and of the shifty character of the platform of this particular oposltlon, Is timely and pointed. With these matters Dr. Brumbaugh has no connection one way or the other. He comes before the people free of the heritage of old sores and contentions, with native pride and gratification in the progress made by Pennsylvania under Repub lican auspices, and prepared with that splendid vigor and wholesome en thusiasm which has won him high distinction in the field of American education to go forward with the state's work, constructively, refor matively and aggressively, as the de mands of existing conditions and en lightened Intelligence require. Dr. Brumbaugh created a good Im pression last night. His personality Is magnetic and winning. His manner Is friendly and sincere. His abilities are brilliant and commanding. His presence is cheerful and inspiring He will make an effective campaigner because he means what he says and knows how to say what he means. His speech merits reading throughout. !

DEMOCRATIC PROMISES [Pittsburgh Gazette.] The Democratic party promised and undertook to deliver the average American from the high cost of living and from the "incubus of too great success by others," and to give new life and prosperity to production and commerce, but it has failed in all three respects. The Republican party, through the protective system, pre serves the opportunity to advance and develop and to maintain the American standard of wages, and in that it suc ceeded marvelously under various tariff laws, notably the Dingley and Payne acts. After Wilson's election and inauguration prosperity continued right up to the day the Underwood bill was signed, when the retrograde movement soon set in—and it has not yet stopped. Remember that as elec tion day approaches. PENROSE AND HIS COMPETITORS (Philadelphia Inquirer) Like Brumbaugh, Penrose has two competitors. Mr. Fllnn has imported Gifford- Pinchot as his hand-picked candidate for United States Senator. Mr. Pinchot lives in Washington and has heretofore done his voting—when he took the trouble to vote —in New York. Of Pennsylvania and Its re quirements he is densely ignorant. As a Senator he would be powerless to aid Pennsylvania in any respect whatever. Without influence, without membership on any important com mittee, he would be utterly useless to the State. Like Lewis, he has no chance whatever of election. Also like Lewis, his sole province is to aid the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party presents A. Michell Palmer, a free trader of free traders, who boasts that he was largely responsible for the deadly iron and steel schedule of the Underwood- Wilson tariff. Mr. Palmer, too, was an unyielding opponent of the law which looked to the building of an American merchant marine through the exemption of tolls for American vessels using the Panama Canal. He advocated and voted for its repeal. He represents the policies of the Democratic administration —policies which blighted the industries of Pennsylvania and closed the doors of many a mill or sent it to half time and consequent reduced wages. Pennsylvania has suffered severely because of near free trade. Among the three candidates for Senator it is to Penrose alone that she can look for any practical help at Washington. Should the Republican Party gain the Safe Home Matches are Wonderfully Cheap A first-class me chanic could not make, in a day, as many Safe Home matches as you can buy for five cents. Even if he could, the matches would not be of uniform size, shape, length, strength or thick ness. We make Safe Home matches by machinery— mil lions and millions of them daily. The wood is treated and cut, the sticks grooved and com pressed, and the ends paraffined and All grocers. Five cents a box, ~7AL% Senate at the November election | Penrose would become chairman of the powerful Finance Committee, which has the shaping of all tariff legislation in that body. His exper ience is ripe. His influence is wide. His knowledge of Pennsylvania's af fairs and industries is intimate. Pennsylvania would stand in her own light should she defeat him. It is un thinkable that she would do that. I IN HARRISBURG FIFTY 1 YEARS AGO TO-DAY [From the Telegraph of Aug. 28, 1864.] Court Not In Se*nlon Court was not In session to-day.
