BRUMRAIGII AND ROADS
PERHAPS no feature of Dr. Mar
tin O. Brumbaugh's opening
speech in what promises to be
the most popular campaign any
candidate for Governor in this State
ever made is more striking than his
sane and reasonable conclusions re
garding road building. He believes
that, next to good schools, good roads
are the people's necessities. He lias
definite notions as a man familiar
with the needs of the country districts
concerning the character of roads
Pennsylvania must. have. In his judg
ment it is out of the question for the
people to wait a generation for the
building of the paved and macadam
ized highways; that we must be satis
fied for the present with tft'o or three
main trunk lines and devote ourselves
to the making of fine dirt roads which
will touch the farming communities
everywhere for at least nine months
of the year.
This view of the situation is in har
mony with a private opinion expressed j
by no less a person than ex-Senator |
William Flinn, who has been one of i
the most strenuous opponents of the'
present State Highway Department.
But the people are fast learning!
that Highway Commissioner Bigelow j
is creating a system of roads which !
are far superior to the highways de- I
scribed by his opponents as "rotten" i
and intolerable. As a matter of fact,
Pennsylvania has many fine roads, and
much of the criticism of the present
department has come from political
high-binders who seek in this way to
further their own political ends.
Dr. Brumbaugh is not in this class.
He recognizes the good that has been
accomplished in the betterment of
the roads, and, like all other loyal j
Pennsylvanians, is looking ahead to!
the day when the people shall have |
"as large a measure of relief as the
resources of the Commonwealth will
permit." In his speech to the home
folks at Huntingdon he especially re
ferred to the fact that it is unreason
able to expect that we shall have good
roads unless they are maintained by
a system of close supervision and a
force of repairmen who will con
stantly correct defects and repair
damages.
He let these men nominate him
and never went out into the State
during the primary rampaign to
tell you where he stands.
Thus McCormick assails Dr. Brum
baugh in his petty way. Indifferent to
the fact that Dr. Brumbaugh, during
the period of which McCormick com
plains, was sitting at the bedside of his
dying wife, who has since passed into
rest.
DEMOCRATIC FOLLY
OUR friends of the Democracy
are finding it extremely diffi
cult, not to say impossible, to
make their campaign promises
of 1912 square with their perform
ances of 1914. They promised us a
reduction of the high cost of living
and the cost has been increasing
steadily ever since. They fiddled with
the protective tariff and put the sugar
industry of the United States out of
business, and they not only In this
way forced up the price of sugar to all
consumers, but within the year they
will have taken out of the coffers of
the government sixty or seventy mil-j
lions which came into those coffers
through the duty on sugar. That is
the Democratic idea of how to reduce
the cost of living.
Nor is that all. The Wilsonian
dynasty took over a government that
was not only solvent, but had a com
fortable surplus of many millions.
Our receipts largely exceeded our ex
penditures, but in a few months all
this has been changed. Instead of a
surplus, we now have a deficit, and
Instead of about $240,000,000 of Pan
ama Canal bonds resting in the treas
ury, so to speak, having been unsold
because the prosperity of the country
made their sale unnecessary, we are
now up to the point of issuing these
bonds to make ends meet. That is
another idea of how to run the gov
ernment under the Wilson theory.
Nor will the opening of the Euro
pean ports or the ports of foreign
nations generally do us any material
good from the standpoint of revenue.
Free trade means no Income from the
fellow beyond our borders. He can
send all his stuff in without let or hln-
MONDAY EVENING,
drance and Instead of paying Uncle
Sam a tax he Is forcing the American
manufacturers to close their shops
and mills while he unloads some mil
lions of dollars' worth of his own
products on our counters. It's a fine
scheme of government, but free trade
was Inevitable under Democratic rule,
and wo are reaping the benefit of
theoretical administration.
But the sugar planters of the United
States were told, when they protested
on their knees against the repeal of
the protective tariff, that their plants,
worth untold millions, should be
thrown on tho Junk heap for the good
of tho world, and that they should
find some other avenue for their activ
ities and their genius. That Is another
of the Democratic ideas of how to
do it. '
Of course, the free trade Demo
crats hope to escape amid the dust
of the European conflict, but those
who have eyes to see cannot have
escaped the import and export figures
of the first seven months of 1914,
which cover the period before the
started, and these figures show con
clusively that the imports have
sivamped the exports, indicating away
up in the millions the losses to the
businessmen and the workingmen of
the United States through Democratic
folly.
"Brumbaugh's Limitations."
Headline in Harrisburg Patriot.
One of these limitations is the fact
that the distinguished Republican can
didate for Governor has no $33,000
"Kampaign Kitty."
j THIS STATE'S WELFARE WORK
ELSEWHERE in the Telegraph
this evening will be found some
extremely interesting matter re
garding the constructive welfare
work of Pennsylvania under Repub
lican administration. Notwithstanding
the constant railing of the little men
now running the Democratic party in
Pennsylvania about the failure of the
Republican party to take care of the
people, .these facts stand out con
spicuously as a complete refutation
of empty charges.
Indeed, this State is a leader in con
servation along many lines and no
where in the country has there been
so much attention given to the im
provement of our agricultural re
sources. Yet we are constantly told
by these little men for their own
political purposes that the State has
done little for the farmer and the
working people.
Perhaps nothing more important is
now under way than the plan of the
Department of Labor and Industry to
secure a uniform system of reports
throughout the country on accidents
in order that there may be reliable
statistics on this subject.
A more or less definite movement is
on foot to bring to Harrisburg a branch
of the Wharton Kvening School, which
has for its chief end the Instruction of
j those who are otherwise denied the op-
I portunlty of attending day school in
■ the branches of money and banking,
| accounting, corporation law and cor
j poration finance. Reading is to have a
i similar branch, which will open early
I In October.
I
/ RAISING FARES
I 1 T is announced that the railroad
companies of this district are plan
ning to raise fares, if the Public
Service Commission will agree, in
order that they may increase their
receipts from the passenger depart
ment.
Doubtless the companies do need
more money, hut an advance in pas
senger rates will hardly be the an
swer. It has been the experience of
! street car companies, and of many
! railroad companies, too, that the lower
j the rate and the more liberal the
transfer and excursion privileges the
greater the earnings. If the railroad
companies desire to cut down the size
of their trains we can think of no
better way than to advance passenger
fares. This may not apply, however,
to the man or woman traveling for
business reasons. They must go, but
it is to be expected that they, too, will
curtail as much as possible, unless it
is the purpose of the railroad man
agements to leave the mileage books
unaffected by the proposed raise.
Passenger rates are about as high
now as the public can well stand.
The popularity of low rate excursions
would seem to Indicate that the way
to increase passenger receipts is to
lower rather than to raise fares.
With the dropping of the river to the
low-water stage the dam and river
front contractors will be compelled to '
put on extra steam in order that these
projects may be completed during the
present year. But there would appear
to be no occasion for serious dela'* In
asmuch as there are long stretches of
the retaining wall upon which work
can proceed without further hindrance.
BATTLE PICTURES
THE Ohio State Journal takes ex
ceptions to the publication by
newspapers of battle pictures
illustrating the conflict In
Europe, in this language:
If we were an autocrat of Jour
nalism perched upon some Himala
yan height, we would launch an
eßlct that would thunder around
the globe, that no newspaper should
print a picture of some horrid bat
tle scene. There is nothing but
harm in it. The war views are
awful enough without rubbing them
in.
To our mind the more battle
pictures the better. The advocates of
world-wide peace could do humanity
no greater service than to see to it,
would the powers but agree, that mov
ing pictures be made of every import
ant action during the war and that
every man, woman and child in the
civilized world view them. In no oth
er way can the horrors of war be
impressed upon the human mind.
The Brady pictures of the Civil war,
gruesome though many of them are,
have instilled a hatred for war In the
public mind of America as a million
lectures on peace could not have
brought about.
Let the people know just what a
battle means, let them realize what
war is In the final analysis, where
man becomes a demon and life Is of
value only that It may be taken, and
there will be fewer battles and fewer
wars
fEVENING CHATI
It is forty-one years since a little
exhibition of farming machinery and
products with some lectures and some
shows on the side was started at Wil
liams Grove and to-day it is known as
the Grangers' picnic and is one of the
greatest gathering points for farmers
and politicians in a score of counties.
Officially It has an elaborate title sug
gesting agriculture and Industry, but
everyone knows it as the Grangers
and the kid who has not attended it
is looked down upon by his brethren
in knickerbockers and pitiefr by the
girls. For this section the Grangers
is the great, grand wind-up picnic and
it is the same for many people in
Cumberland, York, Perry, Franklin
and Adams counties and even for Lan
caster, Lebanon and Berks and the
counties up the Juniata and up the
Susquehanna. All you have to do Is
to watch the crowds at the station
and note the places whence they come.
It has achieved a wonderful popular
ity and since efforts have been bent
toward putting the fakirs and the
shady show people away from the
park it affords opportunity to observe
the people who make up this part of
Pennsylvania. Folks from every walk
of life attend the picnic and wander
about eating pop corn and stuffing I
circulars into their pockets or having |
them stuffed In. There is not much
doing in the livestock line, hut from
the time the gate is left the ear is
smitten with the "puff-spat" of the
gasoline engines, the cries of the bark
ers and the snorts of machinery. It
is the general character and drawing
power that has made it a stamping
ground for candidates and politicians
and they help swell the attendance.
Men who have been candidates for
every office from President of the
United States, United States senator,
governor of Pennsylvania down to
sheriff of Cumberland county and still
further on In the official list have made
speeches there and shaken hands with
people who never saw them before and
whom they will never see again.
Woodrow Wilson has mixed with the
throngs that will rub elbows with
legislative candidates this week and
men who are steaming up booms for
offices in half a dozen counties next
year will be on hand to tramp on the
heels of Dr. Brumbaugh and Gifford
Pinchot. The Grangers is a great
gathering for all sorts of people and
they are a great /leal more interesting
than the exhibits.
M%ngo, one of the gray squirrels
that disport in Capitol Park, met an
untimely death Saturday when a Third
street oar ran him down. Mongo, who
was a great favorite with everybody
on the "Hill," was one of the bolder
of the little furred animals. An ex
plorer was he, and while hundreds of
his companions were content to con
fine their rftlbles within the greenery
of the park, Mongo used- to like to
walk on telegraph wires as far up as
Herr street and to cross over and
look down Cranberry street. It is said
that he invaded the kitchens of some
of the houses along Third street Any
way, Mongo made one trip too many.
Whether it was because he was grow
ing fat and less agile than when, he
tirst started to see the world outside
the limits of the park, or for other
causes will not be known..
Frank U. Wert, a former Harris
burg newspaperman and son of Pro
fessor J. Howard Wert, has resigned
from the staff of the Philadelphia
Evening Bulletin to accept a position
In the publicity department of a large
western Pennsylvania manufacturing
concern. Mr. Wert was connected
with the Patriot for several years as
city editor and then became connected
with newspapers in Baltimore and
Philadelphia, serving on the Public
I-edger and the Evening Bulletin. His
friends will be glad to learn of his
new position for which he is well
fitted by reason of his thorough knowl
edge of newspaper work in all its
branches and the high standard to
which he has always adhered.
Congressman W. W, Griest, of Lan
caster, who has been ill for some time,
is back in' Lancaster after an absence
of a fortnight or so at the seashore to
recuperate. Mr. Griest is rapidly re
gaining his strength and plans to go
as soon as possible to Washington
where he was obliged to abandon im
portant work this summer because of
his health.
According to reports which are cur
rent, properties in South street in the
vicinity of Third, are being looked
over for sites for the establishment
of the work of Pine Street Presbyter
lan Church for men and boys made
possible by the generous bequest of the
late John Y. Boyd. It is probable that
the purchases will be consummated
at an early day and the endeavor in
which Mr. Boyd was so much interest
ed will be taken up.

Thursday Afternoon
This is the week when men who
want to vote in November must take
the preliminary steps which the law
requires and members of committees
of all parties are attending to business
vigorously, seeing that new residents
are listed and that men unfamiliar
with the requirements of the law are
given information so that they can
register.
In the city and county Wednesday,
September 2, is the last day to be as
sessed if a person desires to vote.
In the city Thursday. September 3,
is the first day for registration and the
wise man will register that day and
not be bothered later.
In the county outside of the city
the assessors sit at the polling places
Tuesday and Wednesday to list the
voters.
Voters must see for themselves that
their names are on the lists.

State got under full headway on Sat

Dr. Brumbaugh and Campaign
Senator Penrose were Opening
the speakers, the Earnestly
candidates spea king
to large audiences. Dr.
Brumbaugh reiterated his platform
and made a great hit with the audi
ence. Senator Penrose was heartily
cheered when he predicted that the
people would repudiate the dema
gogues who have led them astray and
shut down the mills in the last year
and a half. He predicted a Republi
can Congress. In tjiis section Repub
lican legislative candidates attended
the picnics at Enterline and South

Post Office action by the Demo-
Appointees cratic Senate on the
Confirmed post office appoint-
rnents which were so
nauseating that other
Democrats protested from York, Clar
ion and other counties. The Paltner-
McCormick machine, which is dear
to the national administration, has
been given a lift by the exerting of
pressure on the Senate committee and
as a result the appointments, which
were a scandal for many Democrats,
have been steam rollered through.
Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh will rest
in Philadelphia for the first half of
this week. He will resume his con
test for Governor on
Thursday, when he
will speak at the Dr. Brumbaugh
Grangers' picnic at Will Take
Williams Grove. Short Rest
Senator Penrose will
also speak at Wil
liams Grove on that day. On Friday
Doctor Brumbaugh will go to Corry,
by automobile and will make an ad
dress there. Senator Penrose will go
to Pittsburgh to-day to begin a week's
campaign in the western and central
parts of the State. To-morrow he will
address a meeting of the Allegheny
Baptist General Association in Union
Labor Temple, Pittsburgh. He will
go to Exposition Park, Crawford
county, on Wednesday, to attend the
Crawford county fair.
He will then go to Williams Grove
and on Friday will speak at Warren.
Friday night he will attend the ban
quet of the Pittsburgh Branch, Rail
way Mail Association. Saturday he
will speak at Apollo, Vandergrift,
Leechburg, Freeport, Tarentum and
New Kingston. t

to Penrose causing the clause for
bidding foreign vessel 3
to engage in domestic
trade to be stricken from the Federal
shipping bill. According to William
Cramp & Sons, every shipyard in the
United States would have been forced
to close if this clause had been per
mitted to remain, and they would
have been obliged to move their plant
to Canada. In presenting the testi
monial, J. H. Mull, general superinten
dent, declared that Kensington was in
debted to Senator Penrose for hav
ing saved to that section one of its
chief industrial plants.

preliminary negotiations have been so
veiled in secrecy as to give the Im

Both the Democrats and the Washing

Crow. "Absolute harmony prevails in

be no question of a great drift of
popular sentiment in favor of Repub

well as in the country at large. Sen
ator Penrose is forcibly expounding
the national issues in his masterful

"BRUMBAUGH AMONG HOME FOLKS"
[Prom the Philadelphia Inquiifcr.]
The visit of Martin G. Brumbaugh to
the "home folks" of Huntingdon county
was in the nature of a* triumph. They
flocked about him, did these good peo
ple of Huntingdon, who have known
him so well; they shook his hand, and
they listened to his words and believed
in what he told them.
It is a great thing, indeed, when the
grown man. absent for years on the
duties of life, can return to the old
neighborhood of boyhood and of early
manhood and find that he is not for
gotten. It speaks volumes for the solid
worth of such a man.
But Dr. Brumbaugh is not only "at
home" in Huntingdon, he is welcome in
many other counties, for he is known
and respected for what he has accom
plished. That his candidacy must ap
peal to the great majority of the citi
zens of Pennsylvania we cannot doubt,
for his record is his platform, and it is
a record which assures and insures a
sane, safe, progressive administration
devoted solely to the welfare and the
best interests of the State and of Its
people.
Huntingdon honored itself in honor
ing its ann, the perfect example of a
man. self-made In every sense of the
word. Dr. Brumbaugh Is the type of
the patriotic, hard-working American
citizen who has put his bone and sinew
intn the building up not only of the
State of Pennsylvania but of the nation.
He Is no dreamor of strange dreams, no
weaver of vague theories, no million
aire aspirant hunting for favor with a
dark lantern and an open money bar
rel His candidacy for Governor springs
from n genuine demand of those who
hnve known and believed In him and his
nomination came from the outpouring
of the Republican citizenship at the
polls He brings Into the campaign the
promise of hard service for the people
in the Executive Mansion
The good people of Huntingdon coun
tv have shown that they put trust in
him. We believe that the same faith
will be very generally evinced at. the
election. For Dr. Brumbaugh is a can
didate who must inevitably grow in the
good opinion of Pennsylvania-loving
Pen nsylvan Inns.
POSITION OF A PROGRESSIVE
(Philadelphia Press)
The sane and reasonable faith of
the Progressive voter is well expressed
In the public statement of one of the
original members of that party In
Massachusetts, and Its candidate for
member of the State Senate only last
Fall. He has just issued a letter to
his fellow-Progressives, calling upon
them to support the Republican ticket
at the coming election.
"I am no longer willing," he says in
this appeal, "to be a party to aid
Democratic success. The present
hour calls for ohoice direct between
the Republican and DcrnocTatic par
ties. I have therefore decided to
support every nominee of the Repub
lican party, and suggest to my friends
that careful investigation and study
will convince them that It is our wis
est course."
In that statement is embodied the
whole situation. The duty of the pro
gressive is plain. This fact he Is real
izing all the country over and putting
the realization into action. Self-seek
ing leaders of districts and of States
cannot turn back the tide that is each
day rising higher and moving faster.

A SCRAP OF PAPER
(Philadelphia Record)
"Just for a scrap of paper!" No
wonder the German Imperial Chan
cellor was "greatly excited," accord
ing to the report of Ills last visit to
him by Sir William Goschen. the Brit
ish Ambassador to Berlin, just pre
vious to the outbreak of war. "Just
for a word 'neutrality'—a word, which
in war time had been so often disre
garded; Just for a scrap of paper.
Great Britain was going to make war
on a kindred nation who desired noth
ing better than to be friends with
her." I
A scrap of paper! The Declaration
of Independence is nothing more than
that, and the constitution of the
United States, the Constitutions of
the various States, and all the laws
of all the nations in the world are
l nothing more. Wills are only scraps
of paper. So, too, are contracts and
pledges that bind men to delinite per
formances. The New Testament and
all the other religions of mankind are
but bits of paper giving lasting form
to certain beliefs. Outside of the bat
tlefield a large part of the human
race seems principally engaged in
committing thoughts to scraps of pa
per.
Let us be thankful that there are
still nations that recognize the blind
ing obligation of solemn promises
placed on parchment. If the ideas of
the German Chancellor prevailed civil
ization would speedily perish from the
globe.
