MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 7
A PERFERVID APPEAL
THAT beacon of righteousness and
truth. Boss McCormick's Patriot,
exudes counsel and inspiration
for the first voters in an appeal
to them to turn to the Democratic
party as the ark of safety, the sanc
tuary of every good thing, including
an "invincible" candidate for Gov
ernor.
The esteemed Patriot tells the
young men who will cast their first
votes in November, who want to start
right and to align themselves "with
the forces that make for the better
ment of humanity," etc., etc., that the
Democratic party "offers inducements
they can find nowhere else." Note
the kampalgn kitty of $33,000 for in
stance. "It is the party of accom
plishment. the party that does things
for all the people." continues the or
gan of the Invincible One. But the
word "for" in this sentence should
read "to" in the interest of accuracy
and exact truth, because what the
Democratic party under the present
dynasty has done TO all the people is
quite some.
Further, we are assured in this same
editorial paroxysm that the Demo
cratic party is now "under the leader
ship of men who have no superiors In
the world to-day." Shades of Jeffer
son and Tilden and Cleveland and
Bandall look down upon the leaders
of this day as they pass in review—
Wilson. Bryan, Daniels, Redfield. Pal
mer. McCormick—look upon them and
hang your diminished heads!
Hear the esteemed Patriot further
declare In its own shrinking, modest
way—
In the State Its leaders are men
against whom the breath of scan
dal Is impotent because they are
clean. They are the kind of met!
who cannot help hut appeal to
those who In the freshness of youth
seek leaders who are clean and
capable.
There you are—capable, invincible,
Napoleonic, and Waterloo Just a few
weeks off.
Parrot-like, the White House twins.
Palmer and McCormick. continue their
prattle about "Penrose and Penroseism"
in the vain hope of stemming the ava
lanche of public disfavor which Is mov
ing rapidly in their direction and which
Is certain to overwhelm and engulf
them a little later. They say not a
word about Palmerism and McCormick-
Ism and the other little isms that are
filling the air with sounding brass and
tinkling cymbals.
THRIFT IN THE SCHOOLS
thrift taught in the schools?
I It ought to be, but how?" This
* is the response made to Presi
dent S. W. Straus, who recom
mends in a bulletin of the American
Society for Thrift that thrift be em
phasized in the public schools in the
systematic activity and training of the
pupils.
With the opening of schools the
awakened public feeling in regard to
the imperative need for thrift teach
ing is expected to make the year of
1914-5 a decided improvement over
the past.
C. P. Briggs. principal of the high
school, answers at the request of
Mayor W. W. Bennett for the city of
Rockford. 111., and at the same time
meets the argument that public
schools of to-day arc undoing rather
than preparing their graduates for
their life work.
Three hundred pupils of his school
"got out and hustled" during the past
summer vacation did ail kinds of
work from hod carrying to office
clerking—and the aggregate of their
earnings was about $10,500.
One of the boys, who had three
years' experience in the manual
training department at the high
school, earned $3.50 a day. He started
work the day school was dismissed
and missed only one half day during
the summer. Several worked as chauf
feurs and made about $lO and sl2 a
week. One worked on a farm and re
turned to school on the opening day
with $82.80. Many preferred to work
in the «pen. on advice of their foot
ball coach. Some, therefore, went
Into partnership in h-uck gardening,
and one was the proud possessor of
$149, earned in ten weeks.
Many of the girls also were busy.
MONDAY EVENING,
inside the home and out of it, and!
some were able to show jreditaftle!
vouchers in actual cash. Some worked j
in factories, stores, and others took j
entire charge of the household af-;
fairs, nursed and cared for children.
In his letter, forwarded by Mayor
Bennett, Mr. Briggs says:
Social workers, parents, educa
tors—all alike have been interested
in this data, if we are to Judge
from the inquiries that have been
received. • • • I do not uieftn
to say that such facts have never
been collected before, but the facts
brought out In a very striking; way
that not all 6t our high school boys
and girls are rendered unfit for the
active duties of life because they
are attending: or have attended the
high school. You doubtless have
read the dastardly criticisms pub
lished early in the year of 1»12,
and wondered whether or not we
ought to pay our good money to
support such an institution as our
free public schools if all that was
said of them was true. To satisfy*
my own mind, if possible, and jus
i tify myself for being a party to
such an infamous institution, for
such It is if it is ruining the youth
of our country, I decided to collect
some data. I the pupils what
i they had been doing and what they
j had earned in this doing. • *
There were practically no wane
earners of any consequence in the
i beginning class, and the earning
capacity increased in proportion to
i the length of time spent in the high
school.
Here in Harrisburg many of our
high school boys and girls work, not
only during vacation, but during the
j school term in their hours out of
school. What our boys and girls need
; to be taught is not so much how to
' earn money, as how to save It. A
■ high school course has come to be so
expensive that many a poor man hesi
tates to shoulder the hurden.
Boss McCormlck said at Washington,
Pa., that "no advances looking towards
| fusion were being made by the Demo
crats.'" State Treasurer Young, a
prominent leader of the Progressives,
says the Democrats are doing the fusion
talking. And there you are.
NO PARADE TO-DAY
THERE was no Labor Day parade
in New York to-day. For the
lirst time in years the ranks of
labor did not throng the streets
of the metropolis. stayed at
home and devoted its parade money
to the relief of unemployed men and
their families.
In times past, in New York city,
many thousands of union men have
marched on the first Monday in Sep
tember. The parades have been spec
tacular. No money was spared in
making them a success. The horses
in the parade were union-shod and
the men union-equipped. There were
union bands and union badges. There
were union-made uniforms and union
refreshments. So that the expense to
the union men for their Labor Day
parade, in one way or another, led to
an expenditure of a large sum of
money.
To-day the money must be saved
that starving ones may have bread.
How does this condition comport
with President Wilson's assertion that
hard times are "merellv psychological?"
NO PRESIDENTIAL fPEECHES
PRESIDENT WILSON has wisely
decided not to make any cam
paign speeches this Fall. Un
questionably, as j ) says, his
place is in Washington during the
critical period through which the
country is at present passing.
The President is doubtless glad of
so good an excuse to remain off the
stump. In the light of his intention
to run for a second term, any cam
paigning he might do this Fall could
be nothing but disastrous. The Dem
ocratic party is headed toward defeat
and if the President went out on the
stump in defense of its candidates he
would have to accept the decision of
the voters in November as a personal
rebuke.
The President very likely sees the
handwriting on the wall. Doubtless
he is beginning to understand that the
legislation he has heen forcing through
is not so popular as he thought it was
and that the Underwood tariff is to
play a big part in the campaign. The
proposal to apologize to Colombia and
pay her $25,000,000 has not set well
with the American people generally.
The breaking of platform pledges to
reward Democratic henchmen for po
litical work is another thing that has
set the people back home thinking.
All this has caused a heavy dis
affection in the Democratic ranks.
Coupled with this, is the terrific Bull
Moose slump the country over. There
has not heen a primary, a bye-elec
tion. or a registration that has not
shown that the Bull Moose party has
gone all to pieces. For instance. Ohio,
which gave the head of the Progres
sive party ticket 229,3 27 votes two
years ago. gave Garfield, the Progres
sive candidate for governor, only 8.167
in the primaries the other day. This
Is less than one twenty-sixth of the
vote cast two years ago.
Democrats know that the Progres
sives are going back to the Republican
party. They also know disgruntled
Democrats are going to vote where
their votes will have the greatest
force. That means they will vote the
Republican ticket. So it Is these facts
that have thrown such a scare into the
Democrats. It is "a condition, not a
theory" that confronts them.
Voters at large know by the feel of
things that there is trouble ahead for
the Democratic party. Democratic
Congressmen themselves have this
"hunch." but what makes it worpe is
that they are now hearing from their
constituents who are writing letters
in no uncertain terms. To make it
still worse, the Democrats in Congress
have been doing a little figuring on
what actually happened two years
ago. They know many Democrats
were elected to Congress wholly
through Republicans who voted with
the Bull Moose and also that many
other Democrats were elected by dis
satisfied Republicans who voted the
straight Democratic ticket to make
their protest more effective. But this
year the shoe Is on the other foot.
Hence It is not to he wondered at
that President Wilson Is well content to
remain at his post and let the Demo
crats of the country get along without
the personal aid he might have
been able to give them. Evidently
he wants to be as far removed as pos
sible from responsibility for the defeat
that Is In store for the party this
Fall.
f EVENING CHAT 1
I 'ln till of my experience 1 have
| never known as rigid application of
| censorship on war news as we are
t experiencing In the great war now in
I progress in Europe." said a man ex
[ perlenced in newspaper work and a
wide traveler while here a few days
'ago. "I recall distinctly the days of
the Civil War because 1 was a young
man then and it was from twenty-four
to thirty-six hours before we got au
thentic information from the righting
zone and It was within a few hundred
miles of us much of the time. We did
not know until after midnight of the
day of Lee's surrender that he had
given up, hut when we got it it was
straight. The Franco-Prussian war
was marked by prompt enough dis
semination. but the news came from
French sources, not from German, just
the reverse of the present. We knew
of Sedan In interior towns of Penn
sylvania as soon as we knew of Lee's
surrender. I recall, too, the rapidity
with which we got news from the war
In Turkey in the late seventies, but
that was probably due to the splendid
English correspondents in the field and
to the fact that London was not as
vitally interested in the war as she is
to-day. In later days do you remem
ber that it was not until twelve hours
after the Spanish fleet had been de
stroyed that Washington turned loose
official announcement of the success
of our navy and that, too, in the face
of the fact that the streets were full of
rumors in the afternoon that there
had heen a battle? Then, too, re
member how we got news on the night
of May 1 that it had been "a sad but
glorious day for Spain" long before
we received official announcement
from Washington that Dewey had per
formed a wonderful feat? In this
case the censorship is put on as a mat
ter of protection to the warring na
tions. but the trouble is that it is so
complete that a very important object
of censorship is defeated—preparation
of the people for news of an official
character. This war has been pro
ductive of everything except news, and
you have to dilute what comes about
50 per cent. To meet the demand for
news the news associations have to
take reports which are brought by
soldiers, refugees or residents, and
that is unconsciously colored and of
such a nature that in ordinary times
it would never be used without being
closely followed up. Hence the stories
of one day are denied the next. But
most official announcements are just
as bad."
One of the most notable things about
Harrisburg's success in the race for
the Tri-State pennant is that the per
cent, of the club !s over .700, a record
that is unique in the country. Search
of the standing of the leading leagues
of the eastern part of the United
States does not show any club with so
high a rating. The peerless Athletics
lead the American aggregate with a
percentage considerably below that
held by Harrlsburg and It is doubtful
if any of the western leagues or any
of the "bush leagues" can show a
victorious team with such a high per
centage as has been won by Cockill's
men.
"Ah. Some immigrants?" asked a
man of one of the Union Station force
the other day as he saw some for
eigners flocking around.
"OnCe. They're movers," replied
the railroad man.
"What are they?"
"Oh. They are people who would
like to go back because work Is slack
in this country, but who do not want
to return because they will he put into
a uniform and sent to charge a ma
chine gun. So they move from place
to place hunting work. I'll bet that
band has been in every steel town
between Bethlehem and Gary," said
the railroad man.
Unless the county commissioners and
the interested township authorities
avail themselves of the contract sent
to them for approval by the State
Highway Department for improvement
of the Union Deposit road, this county
may lose a share of State money set
apart for construction of highways on
the State aid plan It is stated at the
Capitol that the funds necessary to
construct the State's 50 per cent, share
of the highway will revert to the State
Treasury and the county be deprived
of their use unless the contract is
signed. This is due to the fact that
money not used or requisitioned within
a certain period goes back to the gen
eral funds automatically and some
other county will get the benetlt.
A good story is being told about a
man who applied to be registered last
week and who became insensed when
asked his politics. He had answered
the other questions put to him bv the
registrars, but bucked when asked his
politics. He did not know of that
refuge of the man who does not want
to tell which goes by the name of
Nonpartisan and his gorge rose.
"It's none of your business what I
am." he retorted.
"Well, there's a place here for it,"
said one of the officials who knew the
v oter as an ardent reformer.
"Don't care," replied the voter.
"Say 'nonpartisan'," promoted a
friend.
"Nonpartisan? Nothing. Put me
down as Nonvoting." said the dis
gusted one.

BRUMBAUGH AND THE FARMERS
Doctor Brumbaugh tells the farm
ers that what we need is "vocational
training" in our country schools.
Breaking that long word into small
bits, the doctor means that the coun
try school shall teach tbe country
boy and girl the very things which
they should know to keep them on the
farm and to help them make the
farm both a Joy and a profit.
The doctor never made a cleaner
bull's eye than that. We can talk
"back to the land" until we are blue
in the face, but nobody will go back
except under two conditions, to wit:
That the farm be made more
agreeable 'socially, and that il pro
duce more cash. Boys and girls who
live in the country must be taught
how to raise an entirely new crop of
joy and a bigger crop of dollars.
That knowledge will keep them on
, the land and nothing else will do it.

FUSION SCHEME IS
n HIIIB MPS
McNair Joins With Other Leaders
in Criticising Dickers to
Help Out McCormick
DETRICH GETS A BIG JOLT
Dr. Brumbaugh Simply Says Some
thing Isn't So; McCormick
Bund Beaten in Erie
In spite of indications which they
helieved would lead to an announce
! ment by William Draper Lewis that
he would drop his Kubernatorial as
pirations and allow Vance McCor
mick to take his place as the Washing
ton party candidate for chief execu
tive of Pennsylvania, Democratic ma
chine men were to-day confronted
with the announcement that the dean
inten'ded to keep a speaking date at
Arnot. TioKa county, and might make
more speeches later in the week. Con
sequently the call for a meeting of
the Democratic State executive com
mittee to pass on the formalities of
the deal will not be issued. The Bull
Moose bosses have not said anything
to-day and about all that has been
given out is an interview with William
Klinn, in which he says he is about
ready to accept fusion.
On the subject of fusion the Phila
delphia Press of to-day says:
"Hull Moose-Democratic fusion was
attacked last night by William N. Mc-
Nair. Democratic candidate for Secre
tary of Internal Affairs, on the ground
that it savored too much of a politi
cal deal. Mr. McNair said he was in
favor of every party fighting its own
issues to the finish without attempting
amalgamation with another party
whose tenets must differ to some de
gree. Regarding his own withdrawal
in the interests of harmonious fusion,
should such action be agreed upon by
the leaders of the two parties, Mr. Mc-
Nair declared that such a course
would seem to him a betrayal of the
people who had supported him in the
primaries. This would especially ap
ply, he said, to the Single Taxers. to
whom he stood as an exponent of a
vital principle."
Dr. Brumbaugh and Senator Pen
rose were out on the stump on Satur
day at different ends of the State anil
both received notable
receptions. The Sen
nrutnhaugli ator spoke to large
Restates audiences in half a
Platform dozen towns in the
Allegheny valley and
addressed two big
meetings in Tarentuin and New Ken
sington. He will be in Pittsburgh to
day and go to Philadelphia on Wed
nesday. Dr. Brumbaugh toured
Bucks county, where he addressed
• Jrange meetings and other gather
ings. reiterating his stand for local
option, recasting of the child labor
laws, justice to workingmen and a
workmen's compensation that will
stand the test of the courts. The
doctor received a notable reception
and in districts which have been
claimed by Democrats most of the
population turned out to greet him.
Palmer-McCormlek men were routed
In their attempt to secure an endorse
ment of the State ticket at the annual
meeting of the Erie
county Democratic com
mittee at Erie on Satur- Eric Men
day. The Eiebei faction Jump on
steam rollered the "re- Machine
organizers" as neatly as
the McCormick machine
ever did the "Old Guard." Not one
word was said in the resolutions
adopted regarding the State platform,
and it was but a left-handed offer of
support that was given. L.iebel and
his followers went into the conven
tion with the slogan "remember
Ryan and Budd," and the meeting
proved to be anything but harmo
nious.
Eighteen of the delegates upheld
th« Palmer-McCormick end of the
Democracy, while sixty-eight voted
for Frank Enswort for county chair
man, he being candidate of the Liebel
faction of the party.
The supporters of the State ticket
attempted to put up a fight, but the
steam roller, ably engineered by Can
didate Eiebel and his first lieutenant,
Joseph Rogan, completely flattened
out the reorganization end of the
party.
Efforts to harmonize the contend
ing factions of the Blair Democrats
were conducted from Democratic State
headquarters, even to
the extent of sending
Blair's one of the officials to
| Democrats Altoona, but failed, and I
Arc Split on Saturday the small
faction adhering to A. V.
Dively, who claims to be
the representative of the machine,
elected L. O. Burkett, the brother of
a man recently named postmaster at
Roaring Spring. The majority fac
! tion elected Thomas Lawley as chair
j man two weeks ago. The two chair
! men are clamoring at the Democratic
State windmill for recognition and a
situation much like those in Hunting
don and Susquehanna county, where
the Democrats are at each other's
throats, pre\<ails. Efforts have been
made to smooth over the rows in the
two latter counties, but even a spe
cial committee which has never re
ported, has been unable to do any
thing.
Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh. Republi
can nominee for Governor, last night
i refuted a charge made by State Chair
man Detrich, of the
Washington party,
| Brumbaugh that the "schoolmas-
I Shatters ter" became a candi
i Detrich diJate "when .last
Spring he met Sena
tors Penrose and Oli
| ver in the home of Eouis Kolb in
! Philadelphia."
Dr. Brumbaugh himself disliked to
engage in a controversy with Mr. Det
rich. but authorized a statement to be
made on his behalf. This statement
was:
"There was no such meeting. It is
doubtful if Mr. Kolb ever at any time
had Senator Penrose in his home. At
any rate Dr. Brumbaugh never met
the Senators in Mr. Kolb's home as
alleged by Mr. Detrich. Senator Pen
rose had absolutely nothing whatever
to do with the doctor's candidacy. He
became a candidate when his friends
In the Huntingdon Valley urged him
to enter the race. Previously he had
told fellow educators at Richmond
that he would run if the 'folks in the
valley' desired him to do so.'."
Berks county Republicans started
off their campaign with a meeting of
the county committee which re-elected
Chairman C. D. Worley and adopted
resolutions endorsing the Republican
| ticket. The speeches criticised the
President sharply for the war tax.

—Dr. Brumbaugh is making a big
hit in Luzerne county to-day.
—Even Democratic bosses in the

worth while to fuse.
—ln Montgomery Democrats say
that the Bull Moose organization is
disintegrating so fast that it is no
use effecting fusion when it will only
make some people mad.
—Postmaster John T. Brew seems
to have met the fate of all men ap

—The Pa-Mc Banner is back again.
And the scowls of the candidates are

—To-morrow the big Democratic

—And McCormlck's machine will
be smashed with it.
A FIRE INSURANCE WARNING
(United States Review)
In view of the present abnormal
financial situation in this country in- |
cident upon the war in Europe, special
effort is being made by fire underwrit
ers to arouse the public to the im
portance of exceptional care for the
prevention of fires. All reasonable
safeguarding in that direction is in
order, of course, even under normal
conditions, but at this particular time
it is of the greatest public concern.
No man can foretell when the next
great conflagration is to come and add
one more to the lurid catastrophes of
the past, but every underwriter and
thoughtful observer well knows that it
may occur at any time.
If it should happen to come while
present conditions prevail, with the
stock exchanges closed and the money
market abnormally tight, the result to
the fire insurance companies would in
evitably be most serious, because in
order to pay their losses they would
be compelled to sell large amounts
of their securities at lamentable sac
rifices, which In all cases would add
heavilv, and in some cases, perhaps,
disastrously, to their aggregate money
losses.

NEWS DISPATCHES
OF THE CIVIL WAR
[From the Telegraph of Sept. 7, 1864.]
3,000 Rebel* Killed
Nashville, Sept. 7. News received
from General Sherman's army yester
day, report the enemy's loss at 3,000
killed and wounded In the recent at
tack on Atlanta. The blue coats cap
tured 2,000 prisoners. A large amount
of material was also captured. The
army Is In full possession of A/lunta.
The river Is four feet and rising.
Rejoicing at Washington
Washington, Sept. 7. A salute of
100 guns was fired here yesterday in
honor of the victory of Atlanta by
order of President Lincoln.
No other State has more good home
markets for Its farmers than Pennsyl
vania. That means a short haul and
a big price for produce.
Philadelphia reaches over the heads
of dozens of smaller towns to a dis
tance of 275 miles for some of the
milk it drinks. It reaches still farther
for eggs and butter, and apples and
for a part of its bread.
With all its fine fields, it seems
ridiculous that anyone in Pennsyl
vania should ever have to cross the
Atlantic to buy potatoes in Ireland.
They won't when the rural school has
made its curriculum in agriculture as
good as its course in arithmetic, and
when boys aiyj taught as much about
soil as they are now taught about the
rules of grammar.
Hence when Doctor Brumbaugh, ex
cellent school man that he is, tells
men and women farmers that he
stands for a system of schooling which
puts money into the pockets of every
farmer, he has come down to the sort
of brass tacks which country people
like to see driven home with a sharp
blow.—"Girard" in Philadolphja Led
ger.
Thin Blood and Dyspepsia
Thin-blooded people generally have
stomach trouble. They seldom rec
ognize the fact that thin blood is the
cause of the indigestion, but it is.
Thin blood Is one of the most com
| mon causes of stomach trouble. It af
fects the digestion at once. The glands
that furnish the digestive fluids are
diminished in their activity, the stom
ach muscles are weakened and there
is a loss of nerve force. In this con
dition nothing will more quickly re
store appetite, digestion and normal
nutrition than good, rich, red blood.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills act directly
on the blood, making it rich and red,
and the enriched blood strengthens
weak nerves, stimulates the tired
muscles and awakens to normal ac
tivity the glands that supply the di
gestive fluids. The first sign of re
turning health is an improved appe
tite and soon the effect of these tonic,
pills Is evident throughout the system.
You find that what you eat does not
distress you and that you are strong
and vigorous Instead of irritable and
listless. You are now on the road to
health and care in the diet is all that
you need.
The Dr. Williams Medicine Co.,
Schenectady, N. Y.. will send you a
little diet book free on request. Your
own druggist sells Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills.—Advertisement.
