DR. BKUMBAI'GH'S REPLY
DR. BRUMBAUGH'S reply to the
suggestion of the Philadelphia
North American that he could
have the support of that news
paper In his campaign for Governor,
If he deserted the other Republican
candidates named on the same ticket
with him at the May primaries, beyond
doubt will win him thousands of
votes of men who admire a candidate
not only honest In his convictions but
courageous enough to stand by them.
The letter is straightforward to the
point of bluntness and for vigor of ex
pression and keen grasp of essentials
c losely resembles some of the political
utterances of Colonel Roosevelt. Evi
dently Dr. Brumbaugh is well able to
take care of himself under any cir
cumstances.
Dr. Brumbaugh is correct in his
conclusions. The North American was
in its offer of support simply seeking
an excuse to hop from the sinking
ship of Progressivism to tho scarcely
less wabbly planks of the McCormick
wing of the Democratic party. Dr.
Brumbaugh would have branded him
self as a traitor to the party that
named him and would have placed
himself in the class with McCormick,
who stands ready to go to any length
to gratify his ambition for public
office, had he yielded to the absyrd
proposal of the Philadelphia news
paper that is now trying to square
itself between free trade and pro
tection.
But whatever att'itude the North
American may take. It cannot dodge
the fact that It has held up Dr. Brum
baugh to the voters of the State .-is
Individually the best qualified candi
date In the field at this time for the
Governorship of Pennsylvania. It has
admitted that his natural ability,
training, acquaintance with the needs
and Ideals of Pennsylvania and un
questioned honesty of purpose fit him
as no other before the public at this
time Is fitted for the high office of
chief executive of the State. It will
not do, therefore, for that newspaper
to turn its support to a second-rate
candidate simply because its publish
ers have a grievance against some
other man on the ticket upon which
Dr. Brumbaugh's name happens to
appear.
Dr. Brumbaugh has been recom
mended by the North American to its
readers as a personally tit man for
Governor, and therefore honest and
truthful. Dr. Brumbaugh himself has
said that he owes nothing to anybody,
that he is his own b,is.« and that he
will strive with all his might for the
passage of local option, child labor
and other Important legislation. It is
hut fair. then, we submit, to take
Dr. Brumbaugh at his word, and no
doubt the voters, will do it.
Indications parly to-day worn that
the Washington party bosses would put
through their fusion deal. There
doesn't seem to be sufficient rank and
file loft to conduct even a rear guard
action.
iH'DGE KtNKEL'S CANDIDACY
ALL Central Pennsylvania and
some of the outlying counties
were represented at the meet-
ing of Judges and lawyers In
Harrisburg yesterday at which Judge
Kunkel was endorsed for (he State
Supreme Court bench. The hundreds
of attorneys who have practiced be
fore him see in Judge Kunkel a man
lltted by every essential qualification
for the high tribunal of the State. It
Is \ ery fitting and should have great
■weight with the lay voters that these
men, who know him most Intimately
and are best fitted to Judge, should
Join together in a public endorstment
of his candidacy.
Judge Kunkei's campaign for the
nomination was conducted under ex
treme difficulty and was beset by many
complications of a political nature that
no longer exist. His path lies straight
to the Supreme bench. He is well
known as the man who tried the Capi
tol conspiracy cases and his labor
record is clean. He has served the
public as legislator, public prosecutor
and Judge. He is experienced in every
branch of the law and an authority
on Pennsylvania legislation of all

softs. He was re-elected to the Dau-|
phin county bench on a nonpartisan
ticket without a dissenting vote. He
lias no business entanglements and Is
'free politically. His private life Is
without a blemish. He is in the prime ;
of life and resides in a district that ]
is not represented on the Supreme,
, bench. He is the logical man for the
1 judgeship and the public will no doubt
■ agree with the bar in its endorse
' luent.
But the fight is not over. The other
candidate In the field also has his
J friends. Every effort must be made
to Instruct people of the State with the
i qualifications of the Dauphin county
Jurist. The Kunkel campaign com
' niittee has a busy period before it.
■ There is a growing impression among
1 the war experts of the world that the
> great European conflict may come to

NOW A FREIGHT TAX
| T it out of the frying pan and Into
I the Are for the Wilson Administra-
tion nowadays. Every move seems
j to involve the unfortunate party of
.■negation in a whirlpool of trouble, and
[ nothing has been more embarrassing
Ito the President and his party leaders
'than the proposed war tax on railroad
I freight.
> Paternalism has ran wild since
President Wilson assumed control at
1 Washington, and the taxing of rail
road freight is regarded as another
step and a longer one In the direc
tion of government ownership. It is
• also pointed out that such a tax Is un
equal. because If freight is to be taxed
then water carriers should also share
the burden In common with land car
riers. Otherwise tho former would
gain traffic in no small degree at the
expense of the latter.
It is also urged that this tax would
Increase the cost of living and the
, cost of doing business; that If the prin-
L ciple of freight taxation is estab
[ llshed the taxation of passenger re
ceipts will Inevitably follow; that it
would fasten upon the railroads the
L odium of the tax collector, and the
. railroads are already loaded with
[ weighty responsibilities of their own.
Another reason urged against the
, proposed tax is that it would foster a
. sentiment unfavorable to the rail
roads because the public either will
, not or cannot' discriminate between
necessary revenue increase and tax
i imposition. Developments of the last
I few years have shown that the rail
. roads need the good will of the people
i as much as the people need the in
valuable services of the railroads.
Business men are already burdened
i sufficiently without placing upon them
s the additional load of higher freight
r rates. Consumers must eventually
; bear the load which is being Imposed
' upon the public utilities and, as has
: been Stated by an expert, business is in
. no condition to stand such a strain as
■ would be put upon It.
t It is further pointed out that If
I "railroad rates are to be increased at
. all, the railroads themselves should
i have the money instead of paying it
' into a treasury depleted because of
1 the ruinous reductions in the tariff
duties by a Congress which seems to
1 believe It Is better for Americans to
be dependent on Europe for what
they use th&n to produce it them
i selves."
• "Those whi.m the gods would de
stroy they iirst make mad," and the
1 madness of the theorists who are now
running this government Is shown in
'■ one proposal after another for the
1 destruction of public confidence and
• prosperity.
The Patriot continues to conduct
itself as though it thought the public
more deeply Interested In campaign
speeches than war news.
DR. BRUMBAUGH IN DAUPHIN
THIS is a busy day for "M. G." in
the upper end of Dauphin
county. He is in the household
of his friends. Thousands of
the sturdy yeomanry and the hardy
miners and toilers of the northern
section of Dauphin county are extend
ing him a sincere welcome. They
know him and the better they know
him the niore popular he becomes
with them.
Dr. Brumbaugh is Increasing in
strength and favor wherever he goes,
and it seems to be a foregone conclu
sion that before the first of October
the indications will so clearly point to
the tremendous vote of the Republi
can candidate that all doubt, of the
success of his campaign will have dis
appeared. His manly and straight
forward course since he began his
canvass of the State has won over
thousands of voters who were in doubt
as to the sort of man the Republicans
had nominated for Governor. His
strong constructive and optimistic
speeches have impressed the men of
all parties and his honest declarations
in favor of the important issues of
the present campaign have convinced
voters generally of his eminent fitness
for the great office he seeks.
Even those advocates of local op
tion who had been deceived by state
ments of misguided leaders In the
movement regarding Dr. Brumbaugh's
attitude are no longer In doubt. They
have heard his manly pronouncements
on this question, and from every quar
ter of the State are pledging him their
hearty and sincere support.
"M. G." is a man of the people, in
sympathy with them and thoroughly
in touch with the problems which
confront the great mass of Pennsyl
vanlans from day to day. They trust
htm and are going to give him a tre
mendous vote In November.
The Underwood tariff was passed to
cut prices and save the tariff tax to
the public. But prices didn't come down
and nothing was saved. Now the
Democrats propose a "war tax" to make
un the money lost In taxation by the
tariff. Thus we see the public taxed
double to pay for Democratic foolf*h
ness. And yet we are asked to "sup
port Uu jitlml nlnU^Uon."
I EVENING CHAT I
People connected with the State
government are speculating whether
Ins asse ts of Father Penn will be
$23,000,000 or $50,000,000 or more
when the Pennsylvania Property
t ommission completes the inventory
of what the State actually owns. The
commission was created by the Gov
ernor some months after he had
vainly tried to find out what the Com
monwealth possessed in the way of
real, personal and mixed property.
He found a million acres of forest re
serves, several State institutions worth
a million dollars or more, armories,
bridges and other things, but no one
could approximate what they were
worth. The Governor wants to in
form the nejjt Legislature just how
much the State is worth and to make
the point that it has all this and some
thousands of dollars over and above
nil its old notes nnd uncalled for
bonds in the State Treasury. The com
mission has been working for weeks
on lists furnished by the departments
and bureaus and hospitals and has
turned up some unexpected things.
For instance on one State tract it was
found there war. a lot of culm which
is worth considerable money and that
the Department of Fisheries has
property worth hundreds of thousands
of dollars. Some of the farms owned
by State institutions are Immensely
valuable and there is property scat
tered through half the counties of tho
State. The State owns more than a
million dollars' worth of armories,
which by the way represent an invest
ment of approximately but sixty per
cent, of their value. The inventory
is going to be one of the most inter
esting and surprising things that the
State, has known in a long while and
meanwhile guesses as to what is go
ing to aggregate are being made.
The hearings before the Public
Service Commission yesterday brought
some of the best-known lawyers of
the State to the city and there was
more corporation laws floating around
the Capitol than for a long time. Six
of tho attorneys here were represen
tatives of big railroad systems and
they followed the course of the hear
ings with much interest. And yet. In
spite of the magnitude of the ques
tions involved, the hearings made
scarcely a ripple on Capitol Hill.
Dr. Joseph Kalbfus.s secretary of
•the State Game Commission, is keep
ing a sharp lookout on the returns of
magistrates who certify to the pay
ment of bounties for the killing of
foxes, wildcats and the like. It ap
pears that in a good many districts
the arms of the law are not as fa
miliar with the physical characteris
tics of noxious animals as they might
be and once in a while "some one puts
something over." Not long ago the
doctor heard of a case wherein the
scalps of some birds were turned In
as those of a hawk on which Father
Penn has put a bounty. Not one of
the scalps was from the bird which is
under the ban.
South Second street below Mulberry
looks as though a cyclone had struck
it or rather it resembles an Italian
city after an unusually severe earth
quake. a Belgian city after some
"atrocities" had been staged, an Aus
trian city that has been in the battle
zone or a Mexican municipality im
mediately following a surprise visit
by constitutionalists or Huertistas.
There are some walls standing, but
they look as though the gunnery prac
tice had been excellent. Whole blocks
have disappeared and one can look
from River street clear over to the
gasometers along the line of the old
canal without anything interfering.
As far as looking south is concerned
there is little more than lots left.
This part of the city was one of the
fashionable residential districts one
hundred years ago, Market street be
ing more or less of a tavern district.
A good many people have been as
tonished at the wide expanses of sand
and grass patches that have emerged
from the Susquehanna river in the
last few weeks. The absence of rain
has caused the river to fall and some
large areas have come to light. Op
posite Harris street, for instance,
there is a gigantic sand bank that
appears to be new and when its loca
tion is considered it is a wonder that
some attempts have not been made
to have it backed up by stone. Even
tually It would make a fine addition
to the series of islands now existing
and which could be joined and be
come a second city park some day in
the far distant future. But it is worth
looking at and considering.
Judging from some complaints
which have been made lately there
are some automobilists who are vent
ing their wrath against the sign
boards along the State highways in a
practical way. Wherever the State
has authority it has been refusing to
allow signs to be erected, but there
are property owners along the roads
who are not as careful and they have
permitted erection of big signs close
to roads. Evidently, some of the auto
mobilists have been throwing rocks
at the signs.
Speaker George E. Alter, who has a
southern Pennsylvania family connec
tion through the fact that something
over 100 years ago one of his ances
tors settled in Franklin county, and
l>r. Martin G. Brumbaugh were talk
ing over Pennsylvania in Pittsburgh
the other day and discovered that they
were about forty-second cousins. They
were, comparing notes far back and it
appears that in 1693, one Hans Graf
came to Lancaster from Switzerland.
He became one of the county's big
men and he left a numerous poster
ity. fie was a common ancestor of
Dr. Brumbaugh and Mr. Alter, Dr.
Brumbaugh's middle name. Grove, be
ing an Americanization of the name
"Graf." The relationship to Graf is
on Dr. Brumbaugh's mother's side and
Mr. Aiter's father's side.
The lolly pop is a great thing for
young and old and more apt to be bad
for young. The other day a doctor
was called to look after a case of a
young sufferer. He had all the signs
of a disordered stomach and was
asked what he had been eating.
"Lolly pop," he groaned.
"H-m-m. More than one?" was
aS "Nine," came in feeble accents.

PRUGH TOURING THE STATE
Noted Friend Denounces the Fusion
Pact; Dr. Brumbaugh Winning
Praises Everywhere
The Prohibition State committee
will join with its rivals in launching
a vigorous campaign very shortly and
plans are now being made for_ the
formal opening in October. State
Chairman B. K. P. Prugh has been
on a tour of the State meeting the
leaders of the party in the various
counties and getting a line on con
ditions.
Within a short time the officials of
the committee will arrange the date
nnd place for the opening and for
speeches by the candidates. The party
lias nominated legislative candidates
throughout the State and is planning
for wide circulation of its declaration
of principles. Chairman Prugh, who
took charge of the committee a year
ago, has had the assistance of a num
ber of men who have borne the brunt
of former campaigns of the cold
water people.
The Philadelphia Press of to-day
says: "Repudiation of the efforts of
the Democratic and Bull Moose State
committees towards

Noted I'Yiend listment of the tetn-
Dcnounces the perance vote against
Fusion Game Dr. Martin G. Brum
baugh is contained in
a letter just made
public, written by Henry W. Wilbur,
in many respects the most prominent
and best beloved Friend in Philadel
phia, in the last week of his life. Mr.
Wilbur expressed his intention of cast
ing his vote for Dr. Brumbaugh, his
three sons concurring with him, he
cause the Wilbur family knew Dr.
Brumbaugh and his life work, al
though he expressly set forth that he
was not a partisan, and with three
exceptions during the last quarter
century had not voted for either of
the old political parties. He added:
observation has convinced me
that fusion in politics, especially on
contradictory and incongruous ele
ments, In the long run means con
fusion to all the moral issues which
enter into the compact.'
"Mr Wilbur's letter was written to
E. J. Moore, of the Anti-Saloon
League, and, as explained in a letter
of transmittal to Dr. Brumbaugh, was
occasioned by the receipt by Mr. Wil
bur of a political folder signed by
Democratic State Chairman Morris
and Washington State Chairman
Detrich. He pronounces the leaflet
'an adroit attempt to shift your
(Brumbaugh's) support and to swing
some of it to the Democratic candi
date for Governor—personally, X do
not like the game'."

many friends to Well Received

what was expected of the candidate
and the clear and vigorous language
attracted much attention when pub
lished in the Telegraph last night.
The statement also answers the par
roting of McCormick. When Dr.
Brumbaugh was here this morning he
said that he had nothing to add to
what he had said. "You don't need
to." commented a bystander. The
candidate just smiled.

—There will be more following the

—The Democratic windmill pro
fesses to be pleased with the regis
tration. A very little amuses It.
—Judging from reports, McCormick

baugh.
—Some eminent Bhiladelphlans ap
parently think that the governorship
is a man's size job and they are for
Brumhaugh.
—As Mifflin is next to Huntingdon
county, one can imagine what head
way McCormick made in his attack
on Brumbaugh at Bewistown.
—The Bottsville Journal commends
Brumbaugh's answer as the kind of
stuff the people want to read.
—McCormick and Palmer are at

there to-morrow.
—The Democratic State Federation
of Clubs has .been galvanized or given

As yesterday was hat day.
And straw hats had to go,
I went down to the hat store.
Some of my coin to blow
Upon a brand new top piece—
The soft kind, don't you know—
I asked the clerk to pick out
Some styles and to me show.
He got about a dozen,
T tried each on my head
(The editor won't let me
Print just the words I said

And got a glimpse of me).
But one by one I spurned them—
And asked some mor« to see.

The salesman said to me.
"But I don't like the shape, sir;

And then I learned that this year
There is no choice of style,

REPUBLICAN EXTRAV AGA X C E
AND DEMOCRATIC ECONOMY
[New York Sun.]
On June 19, 1910, the Hon. John
J. Fitzgerald, the present chairman of
the House committee on appropria
tions, said in the House in a speech
which was circulated as a Democratic
campaign document:
"Controlling both houses by sub
stantial majorities, the responsibility
.for the appropriations belongs to the
Republicans. Try as they may, they
cannot be other than 'wasteful, ex
travagant, Inefficient.' • • » There
can be no hope for any reductions
from the Republican party. The best
Interests of the county and the people
demand a Democratic House. In no
other way can expenditures be brought
back to their normal level, taxes lev
ied and collected for the sole pur
pose of defraying the legitimate ex
penses of the government economi
cally administered."
Well, the Democrats have not only
the House but the Senate and the Ex
ecutive. On September 12, 1914, Mr.
Fitzgerald admitted in the House that
the appropriations of the present ses
sion, $1,089,408,777.26, are the highest
yet reached, a leap of nearly $32,000,-
000 over the skyscraping figures of
last year.
The voters of the United States,
pinched worse than ever by the cost of
living and the disturbance of business,
themselves compelled to economy, see
their government more wildly waste
ful than ever before.
