TJTT'RSDAY EVENING, SEPT. 10 THE SPIDER AND THE FLY AFTER weeks of coaxing- and maneuvering the Democratic spider has caught the Progres sive fly In Pennsylvania. An alleged fusion of tho two parties on the State ticket has been accomplish «d against the protests of thousands of honest men in both camps. The tosses of the Democratic reorganiza ers and the Washington party have forced through a deal which not only discredits all the professions of adher ence to principle and devotion to a <ause, but marks the whole transac tion as an arbitrary exhibition of boss rule against which these same bosses have pretended to be fighting for the last two years. Such men as Robert K. Young have been openly against the fusion deal on the part of the Progressives and many of the most earnest of Demo crats have likewise opposed a fusion ticket, knowing that oil and water cannot mix. But a coalition of the so called reform forces has been Inevi table for some time and there is no surprise over the announcement. Dean Lewis, who quits the game as the Washington party candidate for Governor, saw inevitable defeat for himself and was glad to retire. Mc- Cormiclc, tho Democratic candidate, who is clutching at straws in every direction, is doubtless willing to swal low the Progressive criticism of his sponsor, the President, and pay the hills. And ex-Senator William Flinn, the financial backer of the Progres sive movement in this State, is more than ready to permit McCormick to become the "angel" of the allies. He •was recently quoted as having declar ed he would not send good money after bad in this campaign. Mr. Fllnn is not a tyro In politics and he can hardly be censured for escaping the Impending avalanche. As to the Democrats, thousands of them will refuse to support the mule ticket. We shall not be surprised to hear from every hamlet the sound of the clashing axes and reports of flop ping Democrats deserting the sinking chip. It must he evident to any thought ful person that such a fusion, arranged through the connivance of the bosses, cannot be effective in the approaching •election. The platform of the Wash ington party is one assault after an other upon the Wilson Democracy, represented by McCormick on the State ticket, and how it is going to bo possible for any considerable number of Democrats to go along with such a ■proposition is difficult to understand. Then, too, the fusion proposition is based upon the alleged hope of the bosses that such a combination will result in the defeat of Senator Pen rose. Yet Plnchot, the Washington party candidate for United States Senator, is to be permitted to run his own course and thus divide the "forces of righteousness," which Dean Lewis thinks should be united for the success of "the cause." The getting together of the Demo cracy and the followers of Lewis Is the last desperate move of a few am bitious men to save themselves. If pos sible, from the most humiliating de feat that has even overtaken a group of self-seekers such as Pennsylvania has never seen in any campaign. But the very announcement of such a fu sion deal in the face of the urgent de mands of these same forces for a State-wide primary law that was to overcome boss dictation in the selec tion of candidates, will result In the alignment of thousands of Democrats and honest Progressives with the Re publican party this year. President Wilson is going to find it •xtremeiy difficult to escape the criti cism of his free trade policies through an appeal for a larger revenue to meet the diminishing Income from imports. Most peoplo have not forgotten that the war did not start until tile first of August and that the direful effects of the Wilson tariff act were apparent all over the country long be fore the outbreak In Europe, it is pro posed now to pile $100,000,no<) more in ternal taxes upon the country to make gooi the slumping customs. But it Is THURSDAY EVENING. unbelievable that the addition of BO largo an amount to the Internal taxes will not he felt, and yet the President lias not saiil a word about reducing the nxpenditures Instead of Increasing tho ! taxes. j THAT "WAR TAX" THAT "war tax" which President WUspn proposes, and which would have been unnecessary If the Underwood tariff law had not been passed, ought to be placed on luxuries to tbe exclusion of necessi ties. The consumer must pay this tax dl (rect. It is therefore important that it be levied on those who can best afford the addition to the high cost of i living. The wage earner has all he can do now to make ends meet. He •lected President Wilson and the Democratic Congress with the under standing that they were to lower his j living expenses. Instead of any de | crease, prices have gone up, and now Ja tax is proposed that will still further) increase expenses. If the Democrats have any respect, at all for their platform pledges they I will not tax any of the necessities. Let the tax fall where It will do the least harm. The poor man Is paying enough and more now than he should to keep his household clear of sebt. Spokane has just thrown open to the I public a tine hotel costing $2,250,000, ; the result of a combination of the en ' ergry and public spirit of the bankers and businessmen of that city. And still Harrisburg waits—watchfully waits—for the new hotel hare that never comes. THE WHARTON SCHOOL EVERY man and every woman in this city interested in the de velopment of Harrlßburg's edu cational facilities should go to the Technical high school auditorium, where a big booster meeting is sched uled to be held in the Interest of es tablishing here a branch of the Whar ton School of Finance. The University of Pennsylvania has been establishing branches of the Wharton school In various cities of the State with splendid results. The ex tension schools have been located for the purpose of affording advanced Instruction In financial and commer cial subjects to men situated in the larger cities and towns who are pre pared to pursue university work but who are prevented from attending the University of Pennsylvania at Phila delphia. \ Joseph Wharton, LL. D., Sc. D., was the first to see the need of a new type of college training that should meet the needs of young men preparing for business, and in 1881 established at the University of Pennsylvania the school which bears his name. At the present time there are enrolled in the day and evening classes of the Whar ton school about twelve hundred men. Evening work was established by the University of Pennsylvania in 1904. In the nine years of the existence of the evening school 2,72 0 men have been enrolled in Its courses. The work of the extension school of accounts and finance will be con ducted hy the members of the faculty of the University who give the same courses in the Wharton and evening schools. The plan provides that the University faculty member in charge of each course shall conduct every other session of the class. In the in tervening week the courses will be in charge of assistants, selected by the faculty, who will carry, out the same plan of instruction which has been followed by the assistants in charge of the courses in Philadelphia. The work in the extension school will, in other words, he of exactly the same character nnd given in practically the same manner as the work in Phila delphia. Before the University will consent to establish a branch in Harrisburg, how ever. a hundred students must be assaired the directors at Philadelphia. Whether the advantages of the branch will he afforded Harrisburg business men depends on whether this number will enroll as students. Efforts are now being made by the Chamber of Commerce, the Harris burg University of Pennsylvania Alumni Association and the Rotary Club of Harrisburg to get the required number of men to enroll and accord ing to present reports success is prac tically assured. But everybody who possibly can should get over to the Technical school this evening and help boost the project. It hasn't been so long ago that the present bosses of the Democratic party in Pennsylvania were ranting about the holding up of State employes and others for campaign contributions, but they are not sayings word to-day about the maclng of Democratic officeholders for the campaign funds of a losing cause. JUDGE KUNKEI/S CANDIDACY PRESIDENT ' JUDGE GEORGE KUNKEL cannot help being gratified with the assurances of support which he. is receiving from all quarters of the State In his candidacy for the Supreme Court. His friends of all parties are laboring for him in the most effective fashion. They recognize his eminent fitness for the higher tribunal and inasmuch as the campaign is purely nonpartisan his canvass Is relieved of anything smack ing of politics in the accepted sense. Judge Kunkel has demonstrated superior qualifications for the Judicial office and all the rant of recent years concerning the recall of Judicial de cisions and other fads of the hour has only served to emphasize the impor tance of electing to the court of last resort men of sterling worth and solid common sense. His friends In Harrlsburg, who em brace all parties, are reaching out In every direction through a campaign of publicity which will make familiar to all the voters the special fitness of the president judge of the local courts for a seat on the Supreme bench. He finds little time to devote to anything like a personal canvass, but where the opportunity offers he is glad to meet the people and mingle with them, lie lias, however, steadfastly set his face against political speechniaking or par ticipation In any meeting that might reflect In the slightest degree upon tho dignity of the. bench. Judge Kunkel has worn unsullied .the ermine of his office and Pennsyl vania will not make a mistake in pro moting him to its highest court. Colonel Roosevelt. In his Now Orleans speech, advocated Federal control and development of the Misslssl- ! river In stead of paying $25,000,000 "blackmail" to Colombia. % fIVENING CHAT I This is the season of the year when the gladiolus is in Its glory in Harris burg and vicinity and there are some people who make a specialty of the gorgeous African flower that has reached its stale of rarest beauty by American methods. Some very flue specimens of the flower were to be set n in the markets yesterday, single flowers almost as large as a rose and. Indeed, approaching the size of a lily being on sale. About the city parks there are some pretty blooms shown, but the best are naturally in private gardens and the attention given throughout the summer is well re warded by the blooming of long stalks of the flower. The gladiolus has been much cultivated In this country and there are gardens in llarrlsburg where it has been an annual ornament for probably a dozen years. Twenty-five years ago red and white gladioli were almost the only ones to be seen here abouts, but now they come in pink antj yellow and purple and all shades, the hybred tiger stripe and red and white stripe being among the choic est of the late summer visitors. Insofar as pre-emption of party names goes this year's campaign has been strikingly different from that of 1912. Not more than the usual crop of names has been pre-empted and most of those have evidently been by people who wanted to clinch right to appellation to prevent someone else from using it or to have a-name at hand ready for use rather than to employ themselves. The last state campaign was notable for the tremen dous amount of pre-empting that went on and the amount of fees turned into the prothonotary's office as a result. This year pre-empting has been a slow item of business . Following out the same ideas that have made Harrisburg's playground and Romper Day programs so suc cessful heretofore, Allentown last week concluded Its summer city recreation season with a Romper Day celebration in which some 4,000 youngsters par ticipated. And the man who promulgated the Romper Day plan and all the details of the all-day program which made the day memorable in the history of the children of the Lehigh county town was a former Harrisburg playground instructor—E. L. Manning. He's now Allentown's supervisor of playgrounds. ' Newspaper clippings and a splendid program of events with comment upon the features of the big day were sent here to V. Grant Forrer, park super intendent throughout the development of this city's playground system. Mr. Manning was under the supervision of Mr. Forrer and was in charge of the Tsland playgrounds up until he was urged to go to Allentown to complete the organization and development of that city's recreation work. Here is a, typical reference to the big day in Allentown contained in one of the city's leading newspapers: Before a crowd of 5.000 fathers, mothers and friends nearly 4,000 children from the public play grounds yesterday celebrated their first Romper Day, an idea brought to the city by Supervisor E. L. Manning. Distribution of political literature has already commenced in the State and the postmen say that if it is go ing to keep ur> the way It has started there will be plethoric conditions about the post offices. The other day the floor of the post office was lit tered with printed matter bearing on various phases of the Republican, Washington, Democratic and Prohibi tion campaigns, some local option lit erature and some woman suffrage. So much for one day. "People are hard to suit," said a motorman yesterday afternoon. "This morning I went out in a closed car and the people who were kicking about my open car yesterday were growling at the closeness of the closed cars. To-day at noon they were won dering why the company took off the open car." Francis J. Torrance, president of the State Board of Public Charities, dresses like a Beau Brummel and has the manners of a Chesterfield. The Pittsburgher was here yesterday clad in the very top notch ol sartorial ele gance and greeting as of yore. Mr, Torrance hsis been coming to Harrisburg on official business for many years and has watched the prog ress of Harrisburg with much interest. He is especially complimentary of the improvements along the River Front, which he thinks Harrisburg has used to great advantage. Although there is not much of a chance to shoot the wild duck now adays and reedblrds are unknown hereabouts, there are a number of hunters who are out with dogs and guns. They say that they are train ing their animals for the hunting sea son and that perhaps they may get a chance to kill some weasels or other pests. No one appears to understand why the duck season is advanced by national order, but if the ducks come around the hunters will be glad. 1 WELL KNOWN PEOPLE —The Rev. G.

SXKRiSBURG TELEGRAPH M'CORMICK WILL TOP MULE TICKET Dean Lewis Shifts the Burden of Approaching Defeat to the Wealthy Harrisburger PENNYPACKER HITS BACK Former Governor Says That the Monroe Congressman Does Not Tell the Truth William Draper Lewis. Washington party candidate for Governor, an nounced last night in Philadelphia that he would retire from the party ticket to enable Vance C. McCormick to become the nominee of the Wash iogtonians as well as of the Demo crats. No fusion will be effected on United States Senator and William N. McNalr, the Democratic candidate for Secretary of Internal Affairs, refused to quit in favor of any deal to help McCormick. Nothing seems to have been done about fusing on Lieutenant- Governor. It does not matter, any way. For months the Democrats have been working through Western Penn sylvania adherents of the Washing ton party to create sentiment in favor of fusion. Lewis in going about the State to ascertain feeling found two things in addition to favor fusion in order to hide the lamentable falling off in the so-called Progressive party strength. They were: A de mand for funds to keep alive the or ganization of the • Bull Moosers, with disinclination on the part of William Flinn to act as paymaster any longer, and a tremendous increase in Repub lican registration, indicating a return to the party. Incidentally, he found sentiment in Pennsylvania mightily In favor of protection. So, under the guise of fusion to beat Penrose, the dean shifted the burden to the stur dier shoulders of the wealthy McCor mick. Incidentally no fusion has been effected on United States Senator, al though fusion is being worked osten sibly to beat Penrose. In this city the news of fusion was hailed by the machine Democrats, be cause it will enable McCormick to lighten the burden of the defeat which is coming to him, but tho Fusion Not Bull Moosers took it Popular in with mixed emotions. Tills Lit}' Many of them felt as did State Treasurer R. i K. Young and other prominent Wash ington men, who declared that fusion was a bad move. The reasons they gave were that the Washington party would become the mere tail to the Democratic kite and that the Wash ington leaders were sacrificing the party organization, built up on na tional issues, to help men posing as upholders of the Administration which Roosevelt attacks. Bull Moosers said with emphasis that they were not going to make contributions to any McCormick campaign fund and that they could not understand how fusion to beat Penrose was helped by fusing on an office for which Penrose was not a candidate. They regarded it all as a selfish move on the part of McCor mick and of Lewis, tho former to help I himself regardless of consistency and the latter to save himself from being a terribly beaten candidate. The fact that fusion has not been effected on any candidate except McCormick has caused the men advocating fusion on legislative tickets to slow up. Senator Boies Penrose made terse comment upon the fusion deal when told of it at the Byberry fair yesterday. The senator was the guest on Textile Day Peiiro&e Says and 15,000 people Flinn Wearied gathered at the fair Ol' Giving Up grounds cheered him, many of the Philadel phia factories shut ting down to enable their operatives to enjoy the day. The senator made, a speech which was heartily cheered for Its protection sentiments. When asked for his opinion on the fusion deal the senator said: "It is a pure machine deal without absolutely any regard for the primary election system, which the independ ents have advocated with a view to the elimination of bossism. "Thert could be ho more flagrant or unwarranted exhibition of bossistn than is shown in this elimination of the expression of choice of the voters at the primaries for the selected favor ite of a boss as the result, of a deal with the bosses of an opposition party. "Mr. Flinn, who has been bossing the Bull Moose convention, hqs evi dently not been disposed to open his barrel again and indulge in the lavish and extravagant expenditure of money that characterized Ills last campaign. "Being without a paymaster, the Bull Moosers were obliged to fall back upon a plutocrat who is engaged in a deliberate attempt, to purchase the governorship of Pennsylvania." Samuel W. Pennypacker, former Governor of Pennsylvania, In a letter sent to a Philadelphia newspaper last night said that Con gressman A. Mitchell Palmer did not have Pennypacker a high regard for Polls J'almer truth in making a a Prevaricator statement In which he referred to the former Governor. In fact, he not only said that he was unveracious, but lacked the instincts of a gentleman. The former Governor's letter said: "The nineteenth accusation of the Hon. A. Mitchell Palmer against the Hon. Boies Penrose is as follows: 'He compelled his Governor, Pennypacker, to veto labor legislation earnestly ad vocated by the United Mine Workers of America after he, Penrose, had given his solemn promise that such legislation would be passed.' "This statement is a plain, unvar nished, concocted untruth. My inter views while Governor with Senator Penrose were comparatively few, and he never, in the whole course of his life, either by letter or verbally, said one word to me on the subject of labor legislation. All of my vetoes were written by myself, the reasons were given at the time, and they are in print and accessible. It Is to be hoped that the people of Pennsylvania have too much self-respect to send to the United States Senate a man without regard for veracity and who appears to be lacking in the instincts of a gen tleman." AD EDIT PAGE —POT Much interest Is being manifested in the appearance of Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh, the Republican candidate for Governor in Pitts burgh during the week Brumbaugh end. Dr. Brumbaugh In Demand is to speak at the In West Somerset county fair to-day and to-night goes to Pittsburgh. There is a big demand for reserva-' tions at thp Pittsburgh luncheon, since it became known that Dr. Brum baugh would speak. Because of his fine record as superintendent of tho Philadelphia public school?", together with his work in organizing tho schools in Porto Rico and his activity in other lines. Dr. Brumbaugh is well known, lie is considered one of the most widely informed men of the country. The reception is Intended to give the voters a chance to become acquainted with the candidate. It is expected to be one of the largest receptions ever held in Pittsburgh to Judge from the requests received. On Saturday Dr. Brumbaugh will go to Beaver county and will likely return to Pittsburgh that evening. The Moth ers' Pension League of Allegheny county desires him to visit its booth at tho exposition, where the straw vote on the necessity for mothers' pen sions is being held. Sunday Dr. Brumbaugh will rest and Monday he will speak before the Foreign Service Men at the convention. I POLITICAL SIDELIGHTS 1 Within a few days Vance O. McCormlck will be officially the head of a mule ticket. .... —McCormick. having bolted the Democratic ticket, in 1910, is now able to head a ticket that is not wholly Democratic in 1914. —ln all probability the new fusion ticket will be known as a Donko- Moose by its friends, but as plain mule by the voters. —One Wiliam Fllnn probably sighs with relief to-day. —Accumulation of coin to swing counties into line will now occupy McCormick's machine. g —Wonder what Palmer and Pinchot think of fusion. McCormick seems to have gotten all there was to it. And that's scanty. . , . —Dean Lewis will now be able to sit down and watch the retreat of Na poleon McCormick from Waterloo. —Rather funny that. Lewis retires in favor of McCormick in order to heat Penrose, and yet there Is no fu sion on the office for which Penrose Is running. —The news from Illinois comes In rather neatly for the fuslonists to will be recalled that Secretary Bryan has steadily fought Roger Sul livan in Illinois.

GETTING ALONG WITHOUT IM PORTS [Literary Digest 1 The signs of "panic" among our manufacturers in the steel trade, the textile and other industries, resulting from tho fact, that certain "raw ma terials" are wholly supplied by some of the countries at war, promptly dwindle, says a writer in the New York Evening Post, on the discovery that we can produce all these necessi ties ourselves. He infers consequently that "the extraordinary eommerelail incidents of the war will teach our business community more lessons than one," and among others hopes that they will learn "how to utilize their own home products and the Ingenuity of their own home experts, to provide the small materials of manufacture whose production they have been sur rendering to Europe." CANADA TO THE COLORS [From the Literary Digest.] "There was neither Liberal nor Con servative In tho House at Ottawa, says the Toronto GlolTe, when the Duke of Connaught opened Parliament wearing a general's field uniform of khaki, and reminded the legislators that England was asking for their help. The leader of the opposition. Sir Wilfrid Laurier, presented a motion proposing that the Dominion be prepared to carrv out the Duke's suggestion. "Our answer is 'Ready, ay. ready,'" were his words and they were seconded by the Conser vative Premier, Sir Robert Borden, who l oncluded the debate in the following terms: "Canada speaks with one voice. The voice of a united Parliament Is the voice of a united people. As to our duty, all are agreed. We stand shoul der to shoulder with the mother coun try. With firm hearts we abide the issue." The general press of Canada are in accord with this decision. Thus we find the Toronto Globe repeating the inci dent of British Ambassador Goschen's final colloquy with the German Chan cellor: " 'Why should you make war on us.' said the successor of the great Bis marck, 'for a scrap of paper?' " 'Because.' replied Amhasador Gosch en. the nephew of the old Gladstonian Liberal, 'because that scrap of paper hears the signature not of Germany alone, but of Britain as well.' " On which this powerful Canadian journal comments as follows: "The die was cast. For that 'scrap of paper' all the nations of Europe, all the dominions of the British Kmpire. India, Japan, the ends of the earth and the islands of the sea —Knglish-speak- ing civilization everywhere is plunged Into the welter of carnage and waste and poverty. The price of it is beyond all reckoning. The cost of it Is not in fabulous money, but in rivers of blood. The pain of it will run through the months to a million hearts. But that price for the words of 'a scrap of paper' Britain will pay to the utter most farthing. That word was the pledge of Britain's honor." —■> • HEADQUARTERS FOR SHIRTS SIDES & SIDES SEPTEMBER 10, 1914. BANK STATEMENT BANK STATEMENT |! COMMONWEALTH TRUST COMPANY jj 222.
