TUESDAY EVENING SEPT. H
FURNISHING THE Y. W. C. A.
THE new Y. W. C. A. Building is
nearly completed. It was bulk
by the contributions of hun
dreds of Harrisburgers. It will
till a long felt need in this city, once
It Is properly furnished and equipped.
That Is the question that is now facing
the management-r-the furnishing of
the building. The structure is one of
the handsomest in the city and it
must be equipped so that there will
be no need of renewals for many
years and in harmony with the in
terior design and finish.
Here is an excellent opportunity
for well-to-do Harrisburgers. A few
hundred dollars spent in furnishing
one of the rooms or departments of
the Y. W. C. A. Building will be far
more useful now than a thousand
dollar bequest years hence. Five hun
dred dollars put into much needed
equipment would be a much better
monument than a handsome shaft in
a cemetery lot.
The day is past when wealthy
people of generous natures hide away
• their golden talents until after the
executor reads the will. The much
criticised Rockefeller and Carnegie
have set an excellent example in this
respect. Our own Harris Fahnestock
was a splendid type of this kind
of man. Fahnestock Hall in the
Y. M. C. A. Building stood for years
as a monument to his generosity be
fore his death and thousands of people
remember him and find his name on
their tongue to-day who would never
have heard of him, or if they had
would long since have forgotten but
for his benefactions in the Chrlstiun
association work of Harrisburg.
So if there are Harrisburgers who
have money to spare—and there are
hosts of them —why not spend a
little of it in memorial rooms in the
Y. W. C. A.? Wouldn't It sound well
to have a Smith library, a Jones
gymnasium or a Brown auditorium?
And, aside from quite proper personal
pride from such use of a family name,
think of the good it would do! 1
BLAINE ON MERCHANT MARINE
MEN of all parties in the United
States are now interested in
the proposed building up of a
merchant marine. The Presi
dent having suspended the provisions
of the navigation laws that prevent the
admission of foreign-built ships to
American registry, it may he assumed
that some immediate relief is in sight,
but what the American people want is
a permanent merchant marine which
will develop the commerce of this
country. More than thirty-five years
ago, in a speech before the Chamber
of Commerce of the State of New-
York, James G. Blaine, rrtpondlng to
the toast, "Steam mall lines, the
keys with which statesmen open
foreign ports to maritime com
merce," declared that "commerce as
well as religion needs a revival in
this country."
This great American statesman in
that day discussed the lessening ton
nage engaged In the foreign trade of
tho United States and pointed out that
not one-quarter at that time was
A\nerican. Emphasizing the enor
mous increase of the tonnage of for
eign vessels evtn in that earlier day,
the great Republican leader showed
that in the mighty Increase of com
merce from 4,400,000 to over 11,000,-
000 tons in a single year the United
States had gone backward and all the
vast profit of this trade had gone into
the coffers of other nations. . Mean
while, as he indicated in this reniark
» able speech, we were protecting and
developing our manufactures, enlarg
ing our internal commerce, extending
our railroads, expanding our agricul
ture, but doing nothing for our for
eign commerce. Somebody was mak
ing, thirty-five years ago. *110,000,-
000 per annum, a sum far larger than
the interest on the public debt, and
that somebody was everybody—Eng
land, France, Germany— except the
United States.
That was thirty-flve years ago, and
what must have been the millions of
lows during the long period since that
time. Millions of gold deposited in
TUESDAY EVENING,
the coffers of Europe; millions which
should have been part of our own
heritage!
.Mr. Blaine told an Illuminating
story of nn old sea captain who said:
"People do not understand this com
mercial question. I once took a load
of coal from Cardiff to Valparaiso and
I got considerably more for carrying
it than the coal was worth. Then 1
took hack to England a carffo of
guano from the Chinchas and 1 was
paid more for carrying it than the
cargo was worth, and so I made more
out of the wind and the waves than
these merchants do with all their risk
and shrewdness."
"And that is what commerce does,"
continued Mr. Hlaine. (treat changes
have taken place in transportation
methods since that day in 1879, but
Amerca has failed to take advantage
of them. We have developed every
thing except our shipping facilities.
Mr. Blaine made this prophetic state
ment:
We are destined to feed the
world, because wo can do it cheaper
than anybody else can do it. We
are, in fact, doing that to-day and
yet we are weakly losing the op
portunity to reap these vast profits
that come from the carrying trade
of our products. There is no rea
son why this should be so.
In the same speech the Plumed
Knight, who was so conversant with
his subject, showed the folly of the
American policy and declared his op
position to buying a British ship and
calling her an American ship. Ho
urged the birllding of American ships
by American labor. Said he:
Take a $500,(100 ship. Five thou
sand dollars represents the cost
of the original raw material and
$495,000 represents the value of the
labor and skill to be put on these
materials by American hands. 1
say that I am opposed to paying
that $495,000 outside of this coun
try. Just so long as this country
falls to become or delay its arrival
at the position of a great and tri
umphant commercial nation, Just
so long it Is defeating the ends of
Providence.
And it has taken the greatest war
of all history to arouse the people of
the United States to the Importance
of their maritime interests and the
creation of a merchant marine that
shall carry our products and our flag
to every port the wide world around.
SCHOOL OPENING
" the whining school boy
with his satchel.
And shining morning face, creeping
like a snail
Unwillingly to school."
—"As You Like It."
According to the census reports just
completed, there were just 11,430 such
youngsters with "shining morning
faces" in this city this morning when
the bells rang at 9 o'clock. But
Shakespeare was wrong, all wrong,
about the boys and girls "creeping like
snails, unwillingly to school"—on the
opening day at least.
For you remember—of course, you
do—how glad you were to get back
on that first day! To talk over the
momentous events of the vacation just
past; to see who the teacher was going
to be; to take a sly glance at Mary or
Anne or Billy or Jack, as the case
might be; and what not!
And just as you were glad are the
eleven thousand-odd youngsters who
went back to their books to-day. Be
fore long the lads and lassies may
lons for the Christmas holidays, but—
Not on opening day!
POLITICAL PIFFLE
* AM for Pennsylvania" is the in-
I scription upon a button which
* the Democratic machine is in
ducing some of the boys of
Pennsylvania to wear. It is the bril
liant idea of the Democratic candi
date for Governor, who still vainly
hopes that the people of the State are
to be further bamboozled by this sort
of clap-trap.
After more than thirty years of
service for the girls and boys of Penn
sylvania. Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh
doesn't find it necessary to ask these
girls and boys to wear such a button.
His teaching has already inculcated a
love for the State and a contempt for
her traducers. Heaven help Pennsyl
vania If this imperial Commonwealth
must depend upon the little men who
arc now endeavoring to climb into
power by assaults upon her good
name!
At all events Harrisburg's war
against the Teutons has been success
ful.
TECH GROWING
ANNOUNCEMENT made yester
day that the Technical high
school chapel exercises must be
held in the big auditorium this
year instead of in the fourth-floor
study hall, as in former years, shows
how rapidly the school is growing.
There will be nearly 400 boys in the
Technical institution when the final
roll Is made up for the fall term.
When the school was opened there was
only a handful. The fact that the
Tech alumni have no difficulty getting
Jobs when they are graduated doubt
less has much to do with the Increase.
Corkill is the Connie Mark of the
Trl-State league.
BIGOTRY IN POLITICS
THE Methodist Times Is quoted in
an attack upon Dr. Martin G.
Brumbaugh, the Republican
candidate • for Governor the
usual radical and unfair sort of attack
which is becoming entirely too com
mon among papers of this class.
It is charged that Dr. Brumbaugh
"has eliminated himself from the con
sideration of the Christian voter who
desires above everything else the de
struction of the liquor traffic."
This in total disregard of Dr. Brum
baugh's manly and open statement,
made over and over again in his
platform and In his public speeches,
that he is In favor of the local option
proposition. We do not believe that
the fair-minded Christian people of
Pennsylvania are going to be misled
by palpable misrepresentations of this
character.
It will be recalled that in the cam
paign of Governor Tener he was as
sailed right and left by a certain class
of preachers and two of them were
compelled to make public retraction
of outrageous and untruthful state
ments. We have reason to expect that
church publications, at least, wilt be
fair.
I EVENING CHAT 1
Search of the standing of thirty-six
baseball leagues at the close of the sea
son of 1913 shows that but one club at
tained a percentage In excess of .700,
which is some points below that with
which Harrisburg nails the Tri-State
pennant to its mast at Island Park.
Harrisburg finishes with .709 and It is
doubtful whether any other club In
the major leagues or any of the lesser
leagues In this section will do as well.
The 1913 record for the Tri-State was
but .595. The only club which went
over the .700 mark was the Jackson
club of the Cotton States League,
which made the remarkable score of
. 74X. Thus far in 1914 no club has
come near that and' Harrisburg may
be the only one to get over .700. The
second best standing record in 1913
was that of Erie, in the Inter-State
League. New York won the National
League pennant with .664 and the
Athletics in the American with .627.
Blnghampton won the New i ork
State League pennant with .613. The
feat of the Senators is destined to at
tract much attention because they were
twice at the tall end of the league and
were three times knocked out of tirst
place, a fact which appears to have
been lost sight of In discussion of the
work of th.e nine that held forth beside
the Susquehanna. The record will un
questionably do much to advance base
ball in this city and Harrisburg will
be a strong point for any league next
season.
One of the singular things about
the situation of the foreigners is that
so few are applying to the farmers
for work in the fields. It's rather
odd that farmers have not taken the
foreigners, but it's probably due to the
fact that most of the foreigners are
peasants and besides they want high
wages. There are many men out of
work now due to the conditions and
yet they are not going back to their
fatherlands. They're hunting work,
but in Industrial communities.
Automobile parties enroute to this
city via the Market street bridge lose
little or no time at the toll gate on
the west end side of the bridge in the
payment of tolls; as a rule the car
doesn't stop, frequently It doesn't even
slow down, and someone in the car is
ready with the return toll check and
passes it out to the waiting toilgate
keeper as the car whizzes by. A light
handed member of one party yester
day tried a new speed test however In
paying the toll and got away with it.
The party contained five people and
nine cents was required for toll. One
of them had a dime. As the car ap
proached the toll-payer yelled "have
a cent ready." The car passed the toll
house, the toll-payer flipped a dime to
the keeper of the gate, the keeper of
the gate flipped a cent change in re
turn, and away they went.
The vigor with which the anti
cigaret law is being enforced in west
ern counties, where arrests have been
made by the wholesale for the selling
of "smoke sticks" to boys, recalls the
fact that practically no arrests have
been made in this city. This is due to
the fact that the law was so much
talked about in the legislative session
of 1913 that everyone was ready for
it when the act became a law and
shut down on the sale, dealers post
ing in their windows signs to the effect
that sales to boys were against the law
and that they would not sell under
any circumstances. The sale of stogies
Jumped, but clgarets fell off as far as
boys were concerned.
There are some mighty handsome
gardens tucked away in the back yards
in the central part of Harrlsburg and
if the average person could only get
to see them he would be surprised at
ihe places where the flowers of Sep
tember are showing their gorgeous
colors and the variety of plants which
are cultivated in small areas. Many
would be amazed to see a space no
larger than an average bedroom fairly
abloom with flowers and a plot that
would just about contain a packing
box antr no more blossoming with
twenty different kinds of flowers.
Right within the shadow of some of the
city's big buildings asters, geraniums,
zinias, golden glow, scarlet sago and
other flowers are to be found bloom
ing, and even near the railroad shops
and nestling beside steel mills and
factory buildings all over the city there
are flowers which will brighten yards
until the frost king comes around.
State Commissioner of Health Sam
uel G. Dixon, who is about to open the
State's third sanatorium at Hamburg,
will have the record of having accom
plished more in the way of real prac
tical means to halt the white plague
than any official holding his position
in the land, perhaps in the world.
When Dr. Dixon came to Harrisburg,
and, mind you, it was less than ten
years ago, the people of the state
were experimenting with "cures" and
but one or two sanatoria were strug
gling along. Dr. Dixon systematized
the popular campaign against tubercu
losis by building tip a state plan in
cluding visiting of homes, education
and encouragement, following this with
dispensaries and then creating the
sanatoria. Pennsylvania is giving mil
lions to the campaign and winning
national recognition and foreign ap
plause.

M'CORMIGK EDS
LITTLE MORE LIGHT
Anti-Suffrage Leader Shows Him
Error of Making Unsupported
Political Speeches
Vance C. McCormick. Democratic
candidate for governor, lias asked for
more light on the suffrage question,
according to Miss M. Emmillnne Pitt,
field secretary of the Pennsylvania
Association Opposed to Woman Suff
rage, who met him at the Williams
Grovo Grangers' picnic.
Mr. McCormlck in his speech at
Williams Grove, said he believed that
women should have the vote If "eighty
million women workers demand the
ballot."
Miss Pitt, who was also on the plat
form, asked Mr. McCormlck where ho
had gotten his information, and as
sured him that, eighty million was al
most twice the total female population
of the United States, and that there
are only 8,075,772 feminine workers
in America over ten years of age, ac
cording to the census report of June
20. 1914.
Mr. McCormlck flushed and replied
that he did not mean eighty million,
but eight million.
Miss Pitt said that the suffragists
themselves claim a total national
membership of only H54.000. and ask
ed ".why the eight million?"
Mr. McCormlck then raised a suff
rage fan and remarked: "Well, they
say here that eight million women
workers demand the ballot.
"If you were governor of Pennsyl
vania, Mr. McCormlck," asked Miss
Pitt, "would you decide vital policies
for the Commonwealth on the basis of
campaign figures on a suffrage fan?"
Mr. McCormlck smiled and aban
doned the controversy by saying that'
he would appreciate further informa
tion, and Miss Pitt promised to give
him full details of the suffrage issue
as regards wage-earning women,
which recently have been published
throughout the country.
The divisions extsting among the
Democrats in Philadelphia, Fayette,
Blair, Huntingdon, Erie, Luzerne,
Montgomery, Susque-
Jianna and other coun
ties are annoying Can- l"nliappy
didate McCormick and Day For
State Chairman Morris Bosses
very much. The McCor
mick newspaper has
cackled so much about a "United and
harmonious" party being back of Mc-
Cormick that the reports of fights at
the start of the active campaign make
the gubernatorial candidate seem
rather ridiculous. It will be noticed
that the machine's candidates have
nothing to say the Marshall in
terview to the effect that Wilson will
be the candidate in 1916. They must
be sorely tried, for they are Insisting
on being considered as the President's
choice and at the same time are afraid
something will start old Dr. Bryan on
the warpath and force them to come
out openly against him.
The Philadelphia Inquirer to-day
confirms reports of the plans being
made to hold up Federal officeholders
to gather a huge
campaign fund to
Bniley Going supplement what Mc-
To Help Get Cormick is expected
In the Cash to pour into the
Democratic machine's
treasury. The In
quirer says to-day: "Federal office
holders in this city and vicinity have
been provided with a convenient place
at which to pay their campaign as
sessments for the Palmer-McCormick
ticket, through the courtesy of Ro
land S. Morris, chairman of the Demo
cratic State committee, who has for
this particular purpose reopened a
Philadelphia branch of the State com
mittee. He has placed an experi
enced and affable collector In charge
of this delicate task in the person of
Wilson Bailey. Mr. Bailey will be re
called as the industrious and highly
successful traveling agent of the Statu
committee whose duties brought him
Into contact with Democratic post
masters and Democratic candidates
for postmasterships throughout Penn
sylvania."
According to the Philadelphia Press
of to-day, both factions of the Demo
crats are planning meetings in that
city. The Press says:
"William N. McNair,
of Pittsburgh, the Philadelphia
only Democratic Democracy in
candidate backed by Midst of War
the Old Guard fac
tion to obtain a
place on the ticket at the primaries,
who was expected to step down in the
interests of fusion, but who has an
nounced that he will not do any such
thing, called yesterday on City Com
mittee Chairman B. Gordon Bron/ley.
It is probable that Mr. McNair will
soon be invited to address the city
committee at. a rally. McNair has
been speaking without recognition
from the Palmer-McCormick faction.
That wing of the party proposes to
bring its speakers into the city. In a
statement issued yesterday by State
Chairman Roland S. Morris attacking
Senator Penrose, he expressed the
hope that the Democratic spellbinders
could be Induced to spend an entire
week in this city. Democratic sym
pathizers in professional and commer
cial circles who last Spring laid the
foundations for a Committee of One
Hundred to co-operate with the Pal
mer-McCormick League, will en
deavor to perfect their organization
at a meeting in this city to-morrow."
Order? have gone out from the
Democratic State windmill that men
responsible for the registration in the
cities must brace up.
The semiofficial 're-
Bosses Are turns ffoni the first
Sore Over registration day have
Registration been very disappoint
ing to the men who
have been running the
headquarters machine and better re
sults have been demanded. It Is said
that the folks at the machine head
quarters are disgusted with the miser
able showing made at Pittsburgh. In
Reading. Allentown, Scranton and
other cities where It had been re
ported that there were going to be
Democratic gains nnd a Republican
slump, the opposite has been true. In
Harrlsburg the registration on the first
day was so disappointing that the
mourning beagle of Market Square has
not had anything to say.
PALMER THE BENEDICT
ARXOI-I) OF PROSPERITY
[From the Philadelphia Inquirer]
Senator Penrose has the facility of
apt characterization. At the Gran
gers' picnic at Williams Grove he paid
his compliments to Mr. Mitchell Pal
mer In these words:
"When a man who deliberately has
control of a schedule In a tnrlfT bill
assigned to him with powers as abso
lute and czar-like as are possessed by
any monarch or king In Europe, fixes
a schedule that deliberately slaugh
ters the industries of his own State. I
say,' Instead of abusing others, the
only t*rm to apply to him is the Bene
dict Arnold of Pennsylvania, pros
perity."
Let the voters calmly consider the
factories and mills or Pennsylvania
which have either closed or are work
ing on part time, and then decide
whether the words of the senior Sena
tor are not based upon facts. J

IXnERSTOTHE EDITOR I
TELLS OF CONDITIONS ABROAD
September 7, 1914.
To the Editor of the Telegraph:
1 wish to inform you of the present
condition in Europe since the outbreak
of the war. I was in England from
July 15 to July 28, visiting several
cities, and went thence to Cherbourg,
France. I wish to say that the con
ditions were so bad in Southampton,
England, that 30,000 men out of the
population of 150,000 were out of
work. There is not a manufacturer
in the city that works his employes a |
full week, sometimes not working
them at all. The men work three days
a week on the docks at 6 shillings a !
day, or $1.25 in American money.
The residences are not over two
stories high, while most are just |
ground floor shacks, containing a fam-1
ily in each room. The highest wages |
for a best tradesman is 8 shillings, or
$2 in American money, per day. While
walking in London streets I was
slurred by Englishmen and classed as
a "Bloody Yank." One Englishman
told me that he had eaten no meat for
eight months, due to the fact that it
was not obtainable.
You've got »to be a British subject
to get a job there, and It is hard for
a poor Yank to make ends meet.
Many evenings I remember seeing
hundreds, clad only in thin clothing,
obliged to sleep In the streets, and
suffering from hunger, trying to col
lect enough money to get passage to
their native lands.
I suggest that if the United States
would discontinue sending meats and
products to Europe, a general cessa
tion of hostilities would be a forcible
occurrence in Europe.
HARRY VANASDLAN,

WILSON A!VI> PUBLIC OFIMON
[From the Philadelphia Bulletin. I
There is a tendency apparent in some
of the preliminary propaganda of the
Democratic campaign to play upon the
circumstances of the nation, consequent
upon the European war. as a note of
warnlng.agalnst any assertion of public
opinion contrary to the President and
his administration, or against even a
discussion of the domestic Issues. It is
falsely urged that patriotic support of
th'e Government requires an endorse
ment of the present administration and
its policies. Legitimate criticism Is de
nounced as unpatriotic, as Instanced
bv the bitter attack on members of
Congress who opposed the President's
fallacious war risk insurance and ship
purchase bills, or by the assumption of
Vice-President Marshall that In this
time of war there would be no politics
In the United States.
Plainly there Is to be an effort to
make the President and his administra
tion the Issue In the campaign. No
fault can be found with this, for a new
House of Representatives and a third
of the Senate are to he elected. The
Issue should be acepted readily by the
opposition, but the President and the
administration must stand on their
record and their purpose, chiefly in do
mestic policies, anil not upon conjured
and exaggerated exigencies and a false
cry of patriotism. "Stay on the Job"
is "a good motto for this campaign, and
the Jog is the thorough discussion of
domestic Issues and the registration of
a definite public opinion on questions
