BATTTRDAY EVENING, SEPT. 5
FORGETTING THE MAIN ISSUE
THAT Baltimore platform of the
Democratic party is coming
back to plague the Wilson Ad
ministration with great persist
ency. Like the scandalous campaign
expenditures of a certain candidate for
Governor, the pledges of the so-called
new Democracy will not be overlooked
by the people in their adjustment of
conditions next November.
President Wilson has asked for the
imposition of an alleged "war tax" of
$100,000,000 upon the people of the
United States, ignoring entirely the
Democratic folly which has necessi
tated this additional burden on con
sumers who were to have been re
lieved of the high cost of living and
pretty much of everything else in the
way of worry by the President and
his supporters.
Rut not one word do we hear of the
extravagant river and harbor ap
propriations—the pork barrel of out
rageous dimensions. Nor are we
hearing anything from the White
lonise of the direful effects of the
B(e trade policies of the present
Washington dynasty. But the people
are not asleep, and with remarkable
unanimity of sentiment they are ex
pressing themselves against the mis
management and the incompetence
of the present rulers of the United
States. Solemn obligations through
platform pronouncements and other
wise are disregarded while the Pal
mers and McCormicks and those of
their size continue to yawp about the
Republican party and Its able and
patriotic leaders.
Those who attended the great as
sembly of farmers at Williams Grove
on Thursday of this week saw for
themselves the attitude of the people
toward Democratic policies, and from
every quarter of the State is heard the
protest against continuance of an
administration which has thrown hun
dreds of thousands of men out of em
ployment and made the average busi
ness man and manufacturer a nervous
wreck.
Inasmuch as the Democratic candi
date for Governor Is endeavoring to
get some cheap publicity through
heroic challenges to Dr. Martin G.
Brumbaugh to answer a lot of unim
portant questions which the White
Rouse Twins choose to ask. it might
be well to arrange a joint debate at
principal points In the State be
tween the two rivals for the guber
natorial office. That would be a show
worth seeing.
UNIVERSITY EXTENSION
THE effort to bring a branch of
the Wharton School of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania to Har
risburg illustrates how univer
sities and colleges, both public and
private, in every State in the union,
are reaching with instruction not only
students who come for the regular
college course, but also thousands of
other men and women eager for edu
cational opportunities. Dean L. E.
Reber, director of the extension de
partment of the University of Wiscon
sin and a leader in the movement to
make the university serve the State, is
the compiler of a bulletin on the sub
ject.
Dean Reher shows that, while ele
ments of university extension work
appeared as early as 1831 in the United
States, the real beginning of the move
ment was in 1887, and its most rapid
development has taken place in the
last-half dozen years. In 1891 twen
ty-eight States and Territories report
ed university extension In some form.
Between 1892 and 190G twelve insti
tutions organized extension teaching,
mainly in agriculture, and since 1906
twenty-eight universities and colleges
have introduced the work, while twen
ty-one others have reorganized their
extension work on a basis of separate
divisions or departments.
Beginning largely as correspond
ence, bulletin and package library
work, university extension lias now
come to include all university service
done away from the institution, as
•well as a certain kind of work done
within the Institution, such as popular
short courses, conferences, extra lec
tures and the like. Many of the uni
versities give correspondence courses

the reception to Dr. Martin G,
Brumbaugh by the home folk
last week. It is a line showing of the
interest of his neighbors and friends
in tho next Governor and contains
• much of interest concerning his,early
life and struggles. The Globe, speak- ,
ing of the fact that most of his old ;
friends refer to Dr. Brumbaugh as '
"M. G.." says:
The initials, M. G., in Dr. Brura

They also stand for Made Good ,
and Makes Good, which is exactly
what M. G. Brumbaugh has been

KREIDER'S ADDRESS
CONGRESSMAN AARON S.KREI- J
DER, who is a candidate for j j
re-election to Congress on the I i
Republican ticket, delivered a' 1
very effective campaign speech at tho j i
Grangers' Picnic on Thursday. It was I
based on a vast business experience i
and two years' observations in Con- J
gress. . ,
Congressman Kroider in 1912, when i
he was running for Congress the lirst '•
time, warned the people of this dis- '
trict against the peril of a Democratic i
administration. He told them that the
removal of the protective tariff wall 1
would prove destructive of American |
industry," would throw thousands of '
men out of work and not reduce prices ]
one penny, tin Thursday lie modestly
' intimated that he believed his forecast
had not been far from the facts.
Mr. Kreider is admittedly one of the i
best posted businessmen in Pennsyl- ;
vania. That his predictions of two 1
years ago have come true almost to (
| the letter ought to give him careful ,
i hearing at this time, and when he says i
that a continuance of Democratic ad- [
ministration at Washington will mean J
, more hardship for both labor and in- ■.
dustry his words ought to be given due '
I weight. *
WHITE STOCKINGS
IT begins to look as though what we
did this year in response to the
whims of fashion we will do next 1
, year at the dictation of necessity, j
j White stockings, or, rather, those of ]
i j the natural or cream-colored variety, ■'
were worn for the first time this sum- "
mer by men whose tastes lead them
. to follow the fads of the moment. 1
, Now comes the news that the stocking
manufacturers may be compelled, by .
reason of the war having cut off our
dye imports from Germajiy, to manu
-1 facture none but white stockings next J
' year. (
There is really no hardship in such a
a contingency. White stockings ought
to be popular. They are just as at- '
tractive and far more sanitary than
their black and tan fellows, to say
nothing of the giddy spirals and polka,
dots that have made their lurid ap- (
pearance in recent years. t
Indeed, it is to be hoped that the t
, white stocking will be the forerunner J
of all white clothing for men In sum- ,
mer. The people of the South have f
long since adopted linens and the •
I so-called Palm Beach suit, and the
sooner we come to the understanding
that to all Intents and purposes we live
In a semi-tropical climate for four
, months out of each year the sooner :
will we adopt a more sensible manner f
of clothing ourselves in summer.
Women have long since come to it t
—some believe they have overstepped
the bounds in the way of taking off J
surplus clothes—and It is time for men
to discard the serges and the worsteds 1
in favor of cooler weaves of cloth.

AN EVENING THOUGHT
e
r Nature never stands still, nor
souls neither; they aver go up or
si co down.—Julia Dorr
1 EVENING CHAT 1
"You're not the only league presi
dent around hero," said Dr. Martin G.
Brumbaugh, the Republican candidate
for Governor, when he met Governor
John K. Tenor at the Executive Man
sion the other evening "I've not only
been the president of a baseball
league, but 1 organized one all my
self," continued the doctor before the
bis Governor could ask any questions.
It happens that one of the things that
Dr. Brumbaugh did when he wont to
Porto Rico to give the people of the
island the greatest of American Insti
tutions—the schoolhouse—was to help
along the cause of clean sport among
the boys. The doctor was picked out
to organize the school system in Porto
Rico by President McKinley, who knew
and valued him. and the Philadel
phian was confronted with the same
thing that the Americans found in the
Philippines, Cuba and Panama In the
way of popular sports. Cock fighting
was the real thing and baseball was
the only amusement that appeared to
have enough excitement and thrills to
It to interest the folks. Dr. Brum
baugh said that he formed a club at
Han Juan and that -they "got onto Its
curves" In a mighty short time and
soon there were clubs formed in the
vicinity. Then Ponce and other towns
got the fever and the educator had to
stop in his work to organize the league,
i »f course, they elected him president,
and they say that he used to go out
nnd bat flies every now and then to
show that he kept his hand in. When
the Governor and his successor got
together at the brownstone mansion
the other evening they started talking
baseball, but the doctor got the floor
and kept It by adding Porto Rico. "I'll
stay up until 1 in the morning to talk
Porto Rico. Next to Pennsylvania it's
the great place for me." said he.
The New Shimmell school building
out on the Hill has been growing up
around the doorway. It has been at
tracting much attention from the peo
ple passing Seventeenth street on the
trolley cars and they have been won
dering what the archway rearing itself
really was. The contractor happened
lo get the brownstone for the doorway
sarly and proceeded to put it up. For
i while the building looked like an
enclosed park or grass plot with an
ornamental gateway.
"The Grangers lacked something this
iveek." remarked a Cumberland coun
tian as he saw the final crowds coming
nto the station last night.
"It did not lack the crowd or the
ittractions. What did it lack?" asked
i man who had been there.
"The flood," replied the first speaker.
'I have never known a real swift, old
'ashioned freshet to fail, until this
.•ear. We had the storms all right.

REPUBLICANS LED
IN REGISTRATION
Reports From All Districts Show
That They Have Made Heavy
Gains in Listing
FAR AHEAD IN PHILADELPHIA
Dr. Brumbaugh Will Campaign in
the Western Part of State
During Next Week
Partial returns from most of the
cities of the State show that the Re
publicans are far and away ahead In
the registration and that there has not
only been a pronounced hack to the
party movement In a number of
places, but that men who enrolled as
nonpartisan are now frankly avowing
their intention of voting the Republi
can ticket. The big Republican en
rollment has taken place, without any
more effort on the part of the Repub
lican committees than those of other
parties, heine so disconcerting: to the
Democratic windmill force that they
did not even have grace enough to
say, as did State Chairman A. Nevin
Detrich of the Bull Moosers, that It did
not matter.
In Philadelphia approximately !M,-
000 persons registered on Thursday.
Of this number less than 7,500 were
Democrats and about ti.OOO Washing
ton party men. The total registration
last year was 247,179.
In Scran ton 4,500 persons register
ed, tne Republicans having 2,302,
Democrats 1,17 4 and Washingtonlans
247.
In Lancaster 2,300 of 3,500 who
registered were Republicans and but
910 Democrats.
In Pittsburgh the registration was
less than 20,000, of which 13,023 were
Republicans and but 1,980 Democrats.
This gives a percentage of 76 of the
lirst day to the Republicans.
In Williamsport Republicans led
Democrats, but only 50 Washington
lans enrolled.
In York 2,950 registered. Democrats
and Republicans splitting even.
In Allentown, Democrats led as
usual, but the Republicans showed a
gain, and in Altoona Republicans got
51 per cent.
In Pottsville, South Bethlehem and
Beaver Falls, three new cities, the reg
istration was small and the Republi
cans far ahead, the proportion in
Pottsville being fifty per cent. In
Raston, Palmer's home district, only
1,187 registered, the Republicans hav
ing nearly one-half.
Scattering reports from other cities
show the Republicans were ahead al
most every place.

WHAT ANSWER!
[New York Sun 1
Representative Underwood, the leader
of the Democratic majority in tne
[louse, told his colleagues on Monday
they thev could probably be called on
to consider emergency revenue meas- |
ures within a fortnight, and that final
adjournment of Congress might be
looked for by the end of this month.
While Mr. Underwood was convey
ing this message to the Representatives
Senator Simmons announced that im
mediately on the passage of the Clay
ton bill he would call up the river and
harbor appropriation bill, which, slnc ®
it reached the Senate, lias been delayed
by a skillful filibuster led by Senator
Burton. It i a freely predicted that
this naked and shameless pork meas
ure will be passed in practically the
form in which it left the House.
This nation therefore will have pre
sented to it the spectacle of the Demo
cratic majority in Congress enacting
in one chamber new tax laws for the
purpose of raising money to overcome
a deficit created by an existing inter
national condition, while in tho other it
approves a wasteful and extravagant
appropriation bill, loaded with pork,
and concededly passable only on the
ground that among Its numerous in
defensible paragraphs provision is
made for a few essential projects. And
these contradictory actions are to be
taken by a political party which in
1912 declared:
"We denounce the profligate waste
of the money wrung from the people by
oppressive taxation through the lavish
appropriations of recent Republican
Congresses, which have kept taxes high
and reduced the purchasing power of
the people's toil.
"We demand a return to that sim
plicity and economy which benefits a
Democratic Government and a reduction
in the number of useless offices, the
salaries of which drain the substance
of the people."
Elected to office on that comprehen
sive pledge to practive economy, the
Democratic party to-day designs an In
crease in taxes to cure a situation of
which it has full knowledge, and at the
same moment it purposes to put on the
statute book a law which has already
been pitilessly exposed as an example
of the very "profligate waste" that
two years ago was so bitterly de
nounced.
What will any Democratic candidate
for Congress say in answer to a citi
zen who, in his campaign, reads to him
those two sentences from the platform
of 1912 and demnnds from him how
that pledge has been observed?
IS IT * WAR TAX OH IOW TARIFF
PENAI.TY f
TErom the Philadelphia Public ledger.]
President Wilson's appearance he
fore Congress to present his plea for
the Immediate imposition of a war tax.
to make up the expected deficiency in
the Federal revenues dispels the hope
that the Administration would let the
I question go over until the next session.
Mr. Wilson, however, foresees a defici
ency which he estimates loosely at
"from Jfin.OOO.OOO to $100,000,000" for
the present fiscal year, and he believes
the Government should be forehanded
in dealing with such an emergency. *
There will doubtless be violent dif
ferences of opinion as to the cause of
the falling revenues, and the Presi
dent's explanation that the deficits are
not due t" the reduced tariff rates, hut
to the cutting off of importations by
the European war, will be disputed. It
i annot be contended truthfully that the
war is not immediately responsible for
much of the falling off of Federal reve
nues. hut there Is quite enough ground
for the contrary proposition to form the
basis for animated political contro
versy. The revision of the tariff sched
ules unquestionably had a profoundly
unsettling effect lipon all commercial
and industrial operations, but before
the revenue producing value of th«
new tariff law could be definitely de
termined the war came to create new
uncertainties.
The President, as is natural, makes
the most of the opportunity these con
ditions offer, and makes the hold
rlalm that the financial difficulties
which will confront the Government un
less provision Is made for more reve
nue by internal taxation, "are not of
our own making." From the point of
view of the Democratic party this is a
fortunate concatenation of circum
stances. The failure of the tariff will
be completely covered by'the war exl
gencies.
