PENROSE IN THE COUNTRY ONE of the arguments presented by the opponent's of Senator Penrose as indicating his al leged weakness is the fact that a majority of Republican voters of tho State outside Philadelphia and Pittsburgh cast their ballots against him. As a matter of fact the Senator's plurality over Dimmick. his chief com petitor In the primary light, was nearly 2 7,000 in the rural districts. It has recently been stated that "with Philadelphia and Pittsburgh machine phalanxes deducted, a majority of the voters of the State cast their ballots against him." This statement is refuted by the official figures, which show that Sen ator Penrose had 107,477 plurality in the State and a total plurality in the rural districts outside Philadelphia and Pittsburgh of 2 6,822. Whatever the alleged reasons for opposing Senator Penrose, the facts arc against tho contention that he is Btrong only in the two large cities. His total vote in the primary was 210,871. Of this vote Allegheny county pave him 38,852 and Philadelphia 80,879. His total rural vote was ex actly 100,040 and that for Dimmick 73,218, showing a clear plurality in the rural districts of 26,822 for Sen ator Penrose. So it will hardly do to insist that the Republican nominee for United States Senator is without substantial and hearty support throughout the interior counties. In fact, reports in dicate that ho is growing stronger with the progress of the campaign through the breaking down of the Washington party and the increasing antagonism to the policies of the Wil son administration. Voters of Pennsylvania are not greatly interested in A. Mitchell Pal mer's alleged indictment of Senator Penrose. What they are concerned about is an explanation from Palmer of ■why he prepared a tariff schedule for Pennsylvania that has closed its mills and factories and thrown thousands of Its honest working men Into idleness. REPUDIATE THE DE VI, IT may be possible for a conference composed of representatives of the Washington party holding proxies to force through the nomination of McCormick, the Democrat, as the sub stitute of the third party for Governor In this State, but the disgust that has overspread the whole third party or ganization as a result of the sell-out of Dean Lewis to the Democratic ma chine is certain to make the deal between the bosses of the two parties of no benefit to either. Scores and hundreds of honest third party men who were standing for what they believed to be an important principle, especially In the matter of the state-wide primary, have declared In the last few days their intention of supporting Dr. Brumbaugh and the ■whole Republican ticket. No other result could have been expected under the circumstances. Whr.tever the final outcome of the fclection In Maine yesterday the most significant feature Is the return of Roosevelt Republicans to the regular fold. At this writing returns from less than one-third of the election dis tricts show a Progressive total of 4,161 against a total Progressive vote in 1912 of 11,377. Two years ago Taft, In the same districts, received 6,996, whereas the Republican candidate for Governor was given, In the same districts yester day, 15,090. Whatever gains were made by the Democrats were from the dis integrating Progressive strength. REGISTER TODAY UNDER the laws of Pennsylvania voters in cities of the class of Harrisburg are allowed three days on which to register. The Brst was September 3. To-day is the second. The last will be Saturday, October 3, after which one who has pot been registered, unless he has ten excuse recognized by the law, will pot be permitted to vote at the No vember elections. The registration on the first day, comparatively large, did not In clude anything like the normal num ber of voters. It la urged, therefore. |tbat «U ~th» electors "entitled to the TUESDAY EVENING. privilege take advantage of the pro visions of the law to-day. Registrars will sit at the regular polling places to-day from 2 to 6 p. m. and from 7 to 10 p. m. It is not advisable to postpone reg istration. The last day may find you too busy to perform the duty. Do it now. Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh will make a tour of the circle of towns in the upper end of Dauphin county to-mor row. No candidate has ever had a more enthusiastic greeting than will be given the next Governor of the State in the Upper End towns. LAST PASSENGER PIGEON THE last passenger pigeon Is dead In its cage at the Cincinnati Zoo. Thirty years ago, when this specimen of the species was caught, passenger pigeons by the mil lion flew north and south spring and fall across the land. Men still living can remember seeing them in great clouds that sometimes required a whole day In the passing. Myriads of them were slain for food and yet no Impression seemed to be made on their numbers. Then the flocks began to diminish. In a few years they dis appeared altogether and for a decade past scientists have offered a stand ing reward for a pair of the blrda with which to perpetuate the race. The disappearance of the passenger pigeon is one of the apparently un solvable mysteries of the world. While they were killed in great num bers, the small impression made by these onslaughts was not sufficient to have exterminated the race any more than the annual killing of blackbirds has blotted out that species. Many theories have been advanced, but none is satisfactory. Whether the birds were the victims of some strange dis ease in epidemic form or learned to avoid the country in which so many of them were slaughtered may always remain a puzzle to those interested in birdlore. There is one thing the old army mule has on the automobile as an arnv transport—lt doesn't stop when the gasoline Is exhausted. BL/E ACHED FLOUR THANKS to Pennsylvania's ad vanced stand In the matter of pure food legislation, the recent decision of the United States Supremo Court in the bleached flour case will have no elTcct here. The sale of bleached flour has been forbidden by State statute in Pennsylvania and Commissioner Foust has formally warned manufacturers that any such flour shipped into Pennsylvania will be condemned as rapidly as found. The Commissioner has said that in view of the conditions elsewhere re sulting from the federal court's de cision he had directed Special Agent H. L. Banzhoff to purchase In the usual way samples of all flours on sale in the State that were brought in from other States, from Ohio westward, and also to examine Into the milling prac tice of all Pennsylvania flouring mills and to buy samples of their flours wherever there was reason to believe that they were using a bleacher. In this way 104 samples of foreign flours were purchased, together with a num ber of domestic samples. These were examined by Chemist James A. Evans, of Erie, who found 28 samples con tained nitrous acid or nitrites. Prose cutions for violation of the law have already been started in these cases and will be vigorously pushed. This is only an example of the vig orous methods employed by the State administration to protect tha people of Pennsylvania from the fraud and injury of impure goods.

APPEAL TO AMERICAN WOMEN THE Woman's Home Companion publishes an "Appeal to Ameri can Women," from the pen of Miss Ida M. Tarbell, that ought to be read by every woman In the land. Miss Tarbell notes the unsettling of American Industries and Imports as a result of the European war, and takes the position that American womjn ought to consider it a duty and a privU lege to support American industries, not only in the present crisis but at all times. It Is quite true, as Miss Tarbell says, that European imports favored by women have been of quality su perior to that manufactured In this country, and this has been so for the reason that American women have insisted on having imported goods to the exclusion of the domestic product, and Miss Tarbell points out that this has resulted in the home manufac turer confining himself to cheaper wares. She urges women to ask foY domestic articles and thus encourage the American maker to improve the quality, as he is so well able to do. Miss Tarbell concludes with this eloquent appeal: The day has come for the Ameri can woman to wake up to her duty to the Industries of this country. Our common people have paid a ter rible price to establish them, but tliey never can be developed to their place and power without her nid and stimulus. Now is her time. Temporarilv. at least, the mael strom which has sucked In all Eu rope deprives her of supplies. This is her time to learn what her own country's industries can do, and to rally with all hor Influence to their support, urging them to make the things she wants, pledging them her allegiance. The world has seen In these days wonderful outbursts of patriotism. We have seen men and women llt erallv begging to be taken to their country's aid. Is It only war which is to stir men and women to effort and thought and sacrifice? Has patriotism nothing to do with peace, With the daily efforts of men? The great patriotism Is that which serves one's land consciously and steadily In all the relations of life. The American woman of taste and means has never fully recog nized her relation to her country's Industries. Now is her time to To keep the American people at work through this crisis; to show the world what patriotic, peace means, as opposed to patriotic war; to offer at the end of this struf-le a picture of the fruits of each so striking that men can never forget it—that Is our duty as a nation. One of the most substantial contri butions that the American woman can make to the fulfillment of this duty Is to give steady. Intelligent suoport to American Industries. 1 EVENING CHAT I It is an interesting fact that prac tically all of the fusion movements at tempted for the so-called redemption, regeneration or reclamation of Penn sylvania, according to the mood of | the insurgent, have been attempted In | the last twelve or fourteen years, and that In only one instance was it suc cessful. And that was when the Dem ocrats were united and had the united support of independent elements, which It is very apparent from news dispatches It does not have In this campaign. This single exception in a long list of hard-fought campaigns and severe defeats was when William H. Berry ran for State Treasurer In 1905. On two other occasions when he ran with coalitions behind him he went down to disaster. When he was successful it happens that he was picked out by Colonel Janies M. Guf fey, then the Democratic boss; backed by every Democrat in the State with votes and money and supported by 160,000 or so independents. It was the last time the Democrats were united in a State campaign. They were united in the presidential cam paign of 1912. and although they made a valiant try they did not deliver Penn sylvania for Wilson In the year of a great opportunity. The history of fu sion movements in recent political history may be said to go back to the campaign of 1901, when there was fusion on E. A. Coray, of Luzerne, for State Treasurer, and Harmon Yerkes, of Bucks, for Supreme Court. Both were beaten by the Republicans after a very vigorous campaign, resembling in some features that being waged now. In 1902 Robert E. Pattison ran on the Democratic ticket for Gov ernor and thousands of Republicans openly voted Democratic, scorning to make use of the Anti-Machine and Ballot Reform parties which sprang up in the warm days of early Pall and were nipped by the November frosts. Yet Pattison was beaten 140,000. Then came the Berry cam paign, with the antl-Pattison and Pat tison Democrats united on the Mayor of Chester and with bis name carried by the Lincoln, Prohibition and In dependent parties. He defeated J. Lee Plummer, of Blair county, by 90,- 000 after a campaign in which every thing hroke his way. The very next year fusion between the Democrats and Lincoln party men was oftected on Lewis Emery, Jr., but Edwin S. Stuart defeated the nominee after a terrific struggle. There was the Hsual row in the Democratic party this year. Then came the campaign of 1910, when the Democracy split and many of the men now prominent in the party espoused the cause of Berry as the Keystone party candidate and then went back to Democracy. It is also contended by Democrats that the reason that they did not carry the State in 1912 was because many Democrats voted for Roosevelt. Justice Howard C. Fry, of the new borough of Paxtang, has started out to attend to business at a new stand. The borough's arm of the law has equipped an office with all documents, publications and appliances for the adjudication of disputes and justice sits enthroned upon the top of the bookcase. It is estimated by the friends of the Judge that it will take thirty-four fat years in office to en able him to get out whole on his ex penditures for equipment of his jus tice mill. Speaking of Paxtang, it is probable that one of these days the law will come down with a tightening of the grip upon some of the automobile owners who speed through its limits. It was all right for folks who had held back while traversing the very bad stretch of city highway known as Derry street to put on speed when they reached the pike when It was in the township of Swatara. But now it is in the borough of Paxtang and the folks have Ideas on the subject of dust and speed which will not harmonize with some opinions of automobile owners. One of the instructors in the High School was having fun with the new freshman class the other day. The class was large and the fun was com mencing to be on members of the class. Finally It was asked who was the first man. A student opposed to co-education shouted in reply: "Eve." I was much Interested to see In the pictures of the German and other troops taken in the war zone the men presenting their individual drinking cups for water," said Dr. Samuel G. ! Dixon, State commissioner of health. I The foreign armies have evidently found that it is far safer to have the men take precautions than to suffer from outbreaks of preventable dis eases." According to reports, Charles R. Michael, who was in charge of the Philadelphia Ledger bureau in this city during the 1913 session of the Legis lature, is to come here for similar ser vice during tlie important session of 1915. Mr. Michael has been In charge of the Ledger bureau in Washington since leaving H; rlsburg. Frank J. Price, who was In charge of the Led ger bureau this year, will likely go to Washington. 1 WELL KNOWN PEOPLE 1 —The Rev. Dr. A. W.

NO DOI'HT WHERE IIItUMIIAUGII STANDS ON I,OCA I, OPTION [From the Philadelphia Public Ledger 1 No one who knows the man has been uncertain where Dr. Brumbaugh stands on (lie local option question. But an attempt has been made to create the impression that he has been talking about local option In general terms for the sake of getting votes and will be tray Its friends when elected. No man with any pretense to Intellectual hon ■ esty can say hereafter that Dr. Brum bnugli Is straddling the question, for Ills answers to the pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church In Pittsburgh Sunday night were so straightforward and unequivocal that there Is no pos sibility of misunderstanding Ills pur poses. He not only pledged himself to sign a local option bill if It were pass ed, but to urge the Legislature to pass a local option measure, because, as he said. "I have given my whole life to 4 that sort pf work." , HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH SMOOTHING WHY FOR M'CORMICK Bull Moosers Trying to Avoid a Family Row When State Com mittee Meets Tomorrow DEMAND FOR FLINN TO RUN Activities of the Democrats Com mencing to Cost Money; Linen Dusters Here Strenuous efforts are being made by men who want to let go of the wan ing Washington party organization's responsibilities to smooth the way for the acceptance of Vance C. MeCor mlck as the Bull Moosers' candidate for Governor in place of William Faintheart Lewis, who withdrew a few days ago. The Washington party State committee is due to meet here to-morrow to fill the vacancy caused by the retreat of Lewis, and the friends of Flinn and other big Bull Moo Hers are trying to gather In as many proxies as possible In order to head off serious trouble. It was generally believed here to day that there would be some objec tion made to scuttling the Washing ton party ship when the committee meets to-morrow. Some of the lead ing Bull Moosers consider that Lewis' act was a surrender and that it means the more rapid breaking up of their party machinery. To them alliance with Democrats is very objectionable, but it it not expected that this senti ment will be reflected to any serious degree at the meeting of the oommit j tee. There can be no question of a widespread revolt against support ing a Democrat for Governor. Henry M. Dubbs, a. member of the Washington party State committee from the Fifth Senatorial District, yesterday entered a protest against put- Philadclpliia ting a Democrat on Man Out For the ticket for Oov -811 l Flinn ernor. He said many Progressives who claim to be Republi cans will not vote for a Democrat. He declared in favor of the nomination of William Flinn for Governor upon the score that he Ik the Roosevelt leader of Pennsylvania and represents the policies which the Washington party advocates. The "linen duster" squadron of the Democratic State machine mobilized at the windmill shortly before noon to-day for a run through the Juniata valley. II is not ex- Mucin Duster pected to do much in Squadron Is the way of changing Mobilized sentiment up that way because the men who led Insurgent movements in years gone by are all for Dr. Brumbaugh this year, but It Is said that Palmer and Mi/'ormick thought that they were called to pay a formal call on the Juniata valley towns and wanted tp get it over as soon as possible. McOormtck is as well known in the Juniata valley as he Is in this com munity and naturally the people are for Brumbaugh. The "linen dusters" were In the Bucks-Montgomery dis trict yesterday and last night and found plenty of lip service from Dem ocrats. Democratic committeemen in all of the cities of the State are working to-day on orders from the Democratic State headquarters to get out as big a regis- Democrats tration as possible and Hustle on the Democratic State ltosistcrs windmill hopes to have some information to give to the public this time on registration. It was expected to make a big shout over the first registration a short time ago, but the Democratic enrollment was so far be low the Republican registration that nothing was said and the surplus energy was used up in talking about an imaginary attempt to injure Congress man Palmer after his automobile had gone by. Then the Palmer "indict ments" were put out and fell very flat and the Bull Moosers have declined to grow enthusiastic over the retire ment of Lewis in favor of McCormick. Hence the necessity for something to talk about. Informal meetings of the Dauphin county Washington party men have shown that except for those who ex pect to get something out of it in the way of an office very few of the Dauphin'» followers of Roosevelt Mooters are in favor of McCor- Perturbed mick for the nomination for Governor, The lead ers have been hearing from the rank and file and while Dr, J. H. Kreider, Ira J. Mosey and others who boss the machine are talking about what a grand thing fusion can be made they are wondering how many they can lead into the McCormick camp. The Bull Moosers in this county are well acquainted with McCormick methods and know that in national affairs he stands for exactly the opposite of Roosevelt. Organization of Palmer-McCormick leagues is going forward at a rate which is causing much Interest to be aroused among needy Democrats. Rumors Hopes and are that there will be Fears of plenty of the yellow tlic Leaguers backs to finance the campaign In this sec tion and that the home district must he carried no mat ter what It costs. Already the organ ization of Pa-Mc leagues is proceed ing rapidly. However, some of the Dauphin leaguers fear that if they keep on organizing leagues in Phila delphia and other counties it will di vert some of the golden stream. 1 POLITICAL SIDELIGHTS i —Dr. Brumbaugh is having recep tions in the west which must make McCormick weary. —The Philadelphia Record con tinues suspicious of fusion. —Apparently the Philadelphia Tele graph has made a study of the situa tion. i •—The big return to the Republican 1 party in Maine was not lost on local ; Bull Moosers to-day.

Price, $1.35. This latest McCutcheon novel is a charming love story, full of plot ami counter plot. It ends with a smashing big sur prise and there is not » disagreeable line in it. Regarding this book, «-«-<ie one says: "Vou are sick of the horrors of war. Why not stop reading about bloody battles and burning cities for a little while, and turn to something which will hold your attention but not harrow your feelings? The September John Martin's Book is out in red and blank and many col ors. and it is sum to be read all over. It is gay with .tolly tales and legends, scores of pages to paint, busy with things to do, and bubbling with non sense. John Martin is fast slipping into the heart of the home through his Book and he Is not all an Idealist, as is sometimes suspected. This is proved by the unique and subtle advertising pages of the magazine. These pages are almost as amusing and altogether as well illustrated as the literary body of the magazine. John Martin's Book is full of what the children need, what we all need—fun. friendship, health and happiness. There is wisdom, too, dis creetly given. John Martin's Book is a magazine for children from four to ten years of age. In its new dress The Popular Maga zine for August month-end presents an attractive airtl dignified appearance. The Illustrated cover has given way to the bulletin-board Idea, and now at a glance you can see what the magazine contains without opening it. The char acter of The Popular has not changed. There are the same strong, manly tales of mystery and sports and the life of the seagoers, and Intimate pictures of men who are doing big things in the world, building railroads, cutlng canals, and generally saying to nature: "Obey us." The Popular has always been famous for its humorous stories, and In this number there are two —one by Joe Lincoln, of the Cape Cod folks, and one by Holworthy Hall, of the doughty sons of Harvard. The book length novel, which has been a feature of The Popular for many years, is this time from the pen of a comparatively new writer, Charles Wadsworth Camp. It is called "The Coqulna House" —the story of an island whose atmosphere was made up of mystery, crime, and superstition. John Charles Beecham takes a peep Into the past In his re markable story. "Out of the Miocene." which takes the reader bark to the cave-man days. Roy Norton has a story of Alaska; and there are other good stories by Richard Washburn Child. Theodore Goodrldge Roberts, Italph D. Paine, Francis Dynde, N. B. Beasley and Raymond Ward Jlofllund. CAN THE GOVERNORSHIP OF PESiN SYI/VAMA BE BOUGHT f [From the Philadelphia Telegraph.] Can the Governorship be bought? The political atmosphere of the State is filled with reports that unlimited amounts of money will be expended to elect the Democratic candidate for Governor. The lavish and scandalous use of money to procure the Democratic nomi nation gives credence to these reports. The sworn statement of Vance C. Mc- Cormlck reveals a personal expenditure at the primaries of $33,000, while the expenditures of McCormlck-Palmer or ganizations. «s reported from less than one-half the counties amounted to al most as much more. Reports from the remaining counties were suppressed by the party managers. The decent sense of the Commonwealth had been so shocked by what had al ready been revealed that more could not be afforded. But with a total of $60,000 accounted for, it can be well un derstood that an enormous expenditure would have been shown If statements from all the counties had been made. That it would have been less than SIOO,OOO, no one can believe. And all this was for the nomination alone. It was a foretaste of what was looked for in the campaign now in progress, in which the demand for money will be far greater than In the primary election, when the contest was within the Democratic party. His parti sans do not hesitate to boast in the most public manner of the great wealth and liberality of Mr. McCormlck. It has been claimed that half a mil lion dollars are available to carry tho State for the Democratic ticket. It will seem like a staggering suggestion to most people, but It is not at r-11 Im probable, In view of the amount . t was expended to carry the primaries. The use of any such amount, or even one-tenth of It, means an effort to pur chase the election. Can the Governorship be bought? Not this year—not any "ear. It Is not for sale in Pennsylvania. The honor and integrity of the State are Involved, and' no neople -»e le»« likely to be sold to make a Democatlc vic tory than the people of Pennsylvania. •The Democratic candidate will be well advised If he saves his money. No amount will buy the Governorship of this State. The people have already decided upon the election of Dr. Brumbaugh, who Is running on his record, his character, his fitness and not his bags of money.

Samuel Untermyer, Louis Brandels, Thomas \V. Lawson and David Lamar? "And now that the times arc changed and the credit of the world is upset, they have to turn for real advice to men of the first caliber, such as J. P. Morgan. Benjamin Strong, Jr., Albert H. Wiggin and others of that type." We cannot give our correspondent the reason for the choice of advisers during the earlier period to which he refers. We do not even believe that it would now be profitable to search diligently for the psychologic explana tion of that which he states in his first paragraph. There are cases in which it were too curious to inquire with too great particularity. That our correspondent is able to record In his second paragraph a great and auspicious change in the quarter in which counsel is sought is enough for most people and ought to be enough for him. DEMOCRATS To BLAME [From the Philadelphia Press] Under the Democratic Administra tion the country suffered. This is a fact that has not been forgotten, and will not be in November. No foreign war cloud is dark enough to hide the business depression that Democratic policies brought about. If the dis traction of a European conflict is the only hope of the Democratic party, it is building its house upon the sand. And the country will not relish the In sult to Its intelligence that Is ottered in this sudden burst of hope in the party that knows not how to adminis ter or to legislate.

MONTGOMERY THIRD I'ARTY GYRATIONS [From the Pittsburgh-Gazette Times] Tito withdrawal of William Draper 1 <ewis as the nominee of (he Wash ington party for Governor marks thu collapse of a pretentious political en terprise. The movement which two years ago swept Pennsylvania is now reduced to the miserable proportions of a mere annex to the Democratic machine, and the party which we were told was demanded for the purification of our national life is not to have a candidate of its own for the chief, oflice to he filled at a general State election. The principle for which Colonel Hoosevelt contended and which Dean Lewis advocated, that a third party was necessary and essen tial, is abandoned, and instead of supporting the latter for the lofty ideals he is presumed to represent, former Republicans are asked to turn in for McCormtck, the Democrat, whose efforts to purchase the gov ernorship by lavish expenditure of campaign funds from his plethoric purse have become a scandal and re proach. , MR. PALMER AND MR. JOIINSOX [From the Philadelphia Inquirer] A, Mitchell Palmer, chosen at the primaries as the Democratic candi date for United States Senator after a tremendous expenditure of money furnished by Money Hags McCormick and some others, is dreadfully put out because an association of citizens lias been formed to oppose him. The as sociation is composed of manufac turers, most of them Interested in small plants, and Included in their number are not only Republicans but Democrats and former Progressives. Yes, it Is a fact thnt there are Dem ocrats In the list—numerous Demo crats —and they are fighting the elec tion of Free Trader Palmer because he is the sturdy advocate of a policy that is deadly to Industry and deadly to the wages of employes.
