WEDNESDAY EVENING, BKPT. 23 BURTON'S vnrrroitY THE victory of Senator Burton and his Republican colleagues in the United States Senate, whereby the Republicans stood united to save the country $38,000,000 while the Democrats were trying to get hold not only of that vast sum of money but to tax the people an additional $100,000,000,. was one of honesty over "pork." The Democrats were determined to put their river and harbor graft meas ure through, but when they ran up against Burton they met the most well-informed man in the ITnited States on the waterway situation. Burton has been In Congress twenty two years, during much of which time he was a member of the rivers and harbors committee. Consequently, he knew just what in the Democratic measure represented actual needs and the quantity of "pork" it contained. Burton, who is not coming back to the Senate, hy the way, and therefore could not be accused of playing poli tics for selfish reasons, showed that the Democratic bill proposed the im provement of scores of Southern streams that no amount of money will ever makf available for navigation. He proved that It was backed by Democrats for the purpose of getting party ammunition, and he made it impossible for the bill to go through as originally framed. The country owes a debt of grati tude to Burton that, figured out in dollars and cents, amounts to about 533.000.000, and Burton, it ought to be remembered, is a Republican, and therefore one of the Congressmen whom Democrats have been berating for their alleged extravagance. How long will the country continue to be fooled, we wonder, by a party that, like the bluejay of our Northern forests, shouts "thief! thief!" while it is robbing its neighbors right and left. "Dr. Brumbaugh Is a big man." says an exchange. Yes, big mentally, mor ally and physically, and too big to try to get Into office by way of the mud hole route preferred by his opponent. "TIPPING"' THE HAT A CHAUTAUQUA lecturer in Illi nois the other day delivered himself of a tirade against the "modern practice of hat tip ping," Baying that no woman felt her self honored by such a salute and that It offered "a means whereby the male flirt often approached In an appar ently poUte manner his helpless prey." It waa a "modern device of the devil," he asserted, and ought to be "ruled out of the book of social etiquette." We very much fear our Chautauqua friend was talking to the grandstand with the hope of getting a few lines in the newspapers, and regardless of the facts In the case. The practice of "hat-tlpplng," as the lecturer terms it, is very old, indeed. When a person was made captive in the olden days his conqueror stripped him of his weapons and clothing and left him without anything he could call his own. The captive was thus made a slave, his lack of clothing being evidence of his subjugation. We need only to look at the sculptures of the Assyrians to spe the truth of this fact And In Isaiah xx. 2-4, we find the following statement: "And the Lord said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign, so shall the King of Assyria lead away the Egyptians prisoners and the Ethiopians captives, young and old, naked and barefoot." The first step, then, in tracing the origin of taking off the hat is the sur render of the clothing among primi tive and ancient peoples as a mark of submission. The next step is the uncovering of the body as a mark of reverence. There are all degrees of uncovering, though often only the most valuable parts of the*clothing are taken off in the presence of superiors. Captain Cook tells us that during his stay at Tahiti two men came on board and. as a sign of respect, took off the greater part of their clothing and put It on Cook and hia friend. In WEDNESDAY EVENING Abyssinia, Spencer tells us. it was the custom for inferiors to bare their bodies down to the girdle before su periors. But in the presence of equals only a comer of the tunic was re moved so as to bare the shoulder. The haring of the shoulder, especially throughout the Gold Coast, is a cus tom as common as taking off the hat with us. Uncloaking in Spain is simi lar in origin. In Africa the men bare their shoulders and doff their caps to superiors, thus joining two customs in one. In times of chivalry men raised their hats to ladles to show reverence, j But this was only superficial In mean- I ing. A knight would ride down a I poor peasant woman carrying a large | burden and never think of taking off his hat to her. And so it is to-day. The custom Is all right. It is the man who is to blame. The true gentleman so salutes a woman under any clreumstant*es and his tribute Is none the less chiv alrous because the flirt on another street misuses it. I A famous German physician says that "Infantile paralysis is often carried from house to house by domestic ani mals, such as chickens, ducks and steers." That's all right for us, for while American chickens, ducks and steers occasionally go visiting, we don't believe they are permitted to get as far as the nursery. ADVERTISING IX DOLL MIMES THE big English firm of Harrods, limited, Brompton road, Lon don, has Just demonstrated Its faith in newspaper advertising by buying four pages In one of the big newspapers of that city to adver tise its annual summer clearing sale. London is hard-up, thousands of its wage-earners are at the front. Money is scarce and it was generally expected that many of the big stores would be left with large, quantities of unsold goods on their hands. Harrods took another view of the situation. The proprietors expressed the belief that if the public could be interested and prices made right, sales could be kept up. So the record-breaking advertis ing campaign was decided upon. The results ought to point a lesson to some timid merchants in America, who have been kept out of the news pers by the notion that advertising in dull times does not pay. In six days, from Monday to Sunday, more. than # a half million transactions were recorded and- more than $1,100,000 changed hands. To meet the rush 1,000 extra salesmen were necessary, running the total of the store up to 7,500 employes, greater than any number ever before employed, even In the most prosperous seasons. tine morning's mail contained 18,- 000 letters and 300 extra hands were necessary in the shipping department. The store is not only clear of its sum mer stock, but is left with a very sub stantial cash balance in hand with which to prepare for the extraordi nary conditions that prevail In Eng land as a result of the war. It is the persistent, intelligent adver tiser that realizes on his investment every day of the year, no matter how times may l>e for the other fellow. An exchange wonders why the crop of sheriff candidates over the country is so large. Most likely the candidates realize that in hard times sheriff fees are unusually large. PUT ON HOLIDAY DRESS HARRISBURG is a good looking city at any time, but Jt should be made to appear to particu lary fine advantage during the coming Firemen's Convention, when many thousands of visitors will be with us for a week. Not only are the Chamber of Commerce and the vari ous fire companies to be commended for their part in the big decorative scheme that is planned, but private citizens should do what they can in the way of displaying flags and in illuminating their homes at night. The Highway Department will have extra forces of street cleaners at work and the public parks will be lined with benches for weary pedestrians. Every bit of rubbish should be re moved and, in short, everything pos sible should he done to make Harris burg attractive and a pleasant place for the entertainment of the hosts that will come from all parts of the State. A taxation commission Is now pro posed at Washington. What's the pur pose? Congress seems to be able to levy more taxes now than most of us care to pay. THE ANNUAL INSPECTION AFTER every Fall Inspection there come from Pennsylvania Railroad headquarters rumors that it is to be the last; that the expense Is too great and the re sults not sufficient to warrant a con tinuance, but every September the trains make their annual observation trips ancl the prizes for excellence of roadbed and track construction are awarded. Whether or not the. inspections and awards have anything to do with it is a matter for the management to de cide, but the fact remains that the Pennsylvania main line is one of the smoothest and best constructed pieces of railway in the entire country. The men that make it so deserve consid eration. far more than they get. by the way. and it would be hardly right to take away from them the oppor tunity that comes to them to add to their material rewards in the yearly contest for prizes. Rheims is said to be pronounced Rans. In our opinion It should bo spelled Ruins. In the liglit of recent happenings In Europe football will seem like a very ladylike pastime, indeed. The word Riiss looks all right in a newspaper headline, but In Harrlsburg it has never meant anything but hotel. "Beefsteak dinners more costly than lobster suppers," says a New York ex change. Beefsteak? Beefsteak? Where have we beard that name before? iTYENiNG CHAT I One thing about the Capitol Park extension work Is impressive and that is the manner in which the buildings disappear after they have been crossed off Superintendent S. B. Hambo'a list as sold. Hardly a ves tige of some buildings can be found two weeks after the transfers have been made and for any to remain three weeks is rather notable. In almost every instance where the build ings have been sold the buyers worked out some means whereby they could dispose of what remained worth tak ing away. They can always get a ready market for door frames, doors, windows and the like and the plumb ing fixtures find a quick sale. So does the heavy building material. As a result the men who buy have folks on the ground looking for bargains next day and it is on record that a man who bought a property about noon on a Saturday had sold about half of the materials before night and he had the building removed by the following Wednesday. The man ner in which the burned property opposite the Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church disappeared furnishes a good illustration. The buyer was rather slow in getting started on it as he had another to look after, but when he did get under way it disappeared in a short time. Few people arc aware of the fact that the Capitol Park Extension Com mission, which has been working without trumpeting and large claims has accomplished a work that will re dound to its credit as well as to that of the State. The expenses of the undertaking have been held down to a minimum and people in the city will he astonished when the time comes next year to file a report. Over 400 properties have liecn acquired and not an appeal has been taken to court. The way this commission hag worked will attract much attention and furnish an example to many com missions to come. One of the big, fat, lazy pigeons that live on Capitol Mill undertook to pay a visit to the Capitol rotunda yes terday. If got in by flying through the wide open windows of a depart ment that opened to a corridor on the rotunda. It circled round and round and the guides and guards watched it while visitors wondered whence it came and what it would do. Finally the bird fooled everyone. It flew to the floor and spying the great doorway, walked out. Judge McCarrell disposed of a case in short order yesterday. Two men were up on cross charges. One inan was stated to have gotten a club and gone to the home of another. Man No. 2 also had a club. "He had to defend himself —" be gan the attorney for No. 2. "Yes. He seems to have," said the judge, looking at the other fellow. Then he added, "And then some." President Judge Kunkel has a great admiration for Hanover. The judge had not been through York county for years and years until last week when he went on an automobile trip. He expected to see a small town and was astonished at the manner in which it had developed into a live, hustling, manufacturing town. "I was impressed with the get-up and hustle spirit. Why it looks as though it was going to become an industrial center and I expect to see it grow by leaps and bounds." Dr. J George Becht, secretary of the State Board of Education, has a great time meeting his former pupils. He has not as many as Dr. Brum baugh or Dr. Houck, but he has some. He has taught in several counties, was a county superintendent, taught in a couple of normal schools and then had wharge of Clarion. Now when he is out swinging around the educa tional circle he runs across teachers who received instruction from him and some to whom he gave diplomas. The German bands, street pianos, plain hand organs and cornet players that have lent music, variety and noise to the streets and highways of the city were added to in an enter taining manner last night by a quar tet of "bone shakers." It has been a long time since the city has had any real good diversion in this line and the use of rattlebones attracted much attention. The men could play, and if they had to go dry late last night It was their own fault. Railroad men in this city and vicin ity have been doing some photography that will come in handy in years to come. Lately there have been some old-time cars sent to the shops in and about this city for repairs and they have been snapped to show future generations what kind of cars were used. Among them have been some of the small, old-fashioned freight cars, the old produce cars and some of the short gondolas that preceded the "battleship" cars by a decade or more. A collection of the cars which have been used hereabouts would be Interesting in a few years. To-morrow's examination of appli cants for admission to the students' class of the Harrisburg Public Library promises to be well attended, judging front the applications made. Appar ently the work of the library in the city has stimulated Interest among young people and there have been a number of persons who have made inquiries as to what qualifications are demanded to work in libraries. Few know that a course of a year, with much reading and practical work, is required. The number of applicants is a goocj sign of the interest felt In library work in Harrisburg. 1 WELL KNOWN PEOPLE 1 —Dr. C. L.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH PIRICHOT ASKS PALMER TO QUIT Washington Party Candidate For Senator Says Palmer Can't Get Own Party's Vote HARD RAPS FOR HIS RIVAL Fusion in the City Is Not Working Out With Very Much Suc cess Just at Present Oifl'ord Pinchot, the Washington candidate for United States senator, last night said that the sentiment of the State was that A. Mitchell Pal mer should get off the Democratic ticket for senator. Congressman A. Mitchell Palmer, | Democratic candidate for United States senator. Is standing on his dec laration at Scranton that he will not quit. Vance C. McCormick, candidate for Governor on a mule ticket, maintains a masterly silence. Things are not going well in the movement to unite all of the antl- Penrose forces and the burst of laugh ter which followed the coalition against Pen rose by a fusion on a Nice Scheme nomination for an of- Has Gotten flee for which Penrose all Muddled is not a candidate has made some of the men who thought to pull off a Napo leonic trick wild with chagrin. Can didate McCormick has found that many Democrats are disgusted with him and refuse to believe that there was not some bargain, with Bill Flinn and an understanding with William Faintheart Lewis before McCormick got on the mule ticket, and has dis covered that all over the State pro gressives are renouncing him as the candidate of the Washington party, while the demand for Democratic en dorsement of Pinchot is growing daily. Pinchot is said to have been told by Roosevelt and the party leaders to stick and President Wilson insists on Palmer standing pat. Bearing in mind that Vance C. Mc- Cormick is the nominee of the Wash ington party for Governor, It is inter esting to note what Pin chot said about his col- Plnehot league, A. Mitchell Pal- Wliacks mer. Democratic candl- Paliuer date for the office for which Pinchot is also a candidate. Here are a fen gems: "1 have stated on every occasion what is the fact that Pal mer has no chance to beat Penrose, and, therefore, I can not and will not withdraw. * * * To protectionist Pennsylvania the surest way to elect Penrose would be for the other pro tectionist candidate to withdraw * * * These men are strongly con vinced that Pennsylvania must have at Washington a representative who will stand for a tariff that will bring prosperity to our workers and busi ness men. * * * Large numbers of Democrats have come to me per sonally, Including Democratic county chairmen, to express their surprise and regret that Mr. Palmer has not with drawn from the race, and their hopes that 1 would be elected. • » » The Washington party is the majority party in Pennsylvania. The Democra tic party is a minority party. • • • Furthermore, the Democrats are hope lessly divided. Large numbers of them, as is well known, will vote the Pen rose liquor ticket this year. * * * Mr. Palmer cannot poll even the nor mal Democratic strength." Democratic State Chairman Roland S. Morris has resumed his "conversa tions" at the Democratic State wind mill in Market Square, the conditions in the State being so disturb- Morris Has ing that the chairman .Much to found it necessary to Worry Over come here two days a week instead of Thursday, which was formerly the re ceiving day. Mr. Morris expects to meet a number of county leaders from various parts of the State, but it is not good form at the windmill to say who they are. They might be photo graphed by rude Republicans on their way to the train. The general Dem ocratic conditions are unpleasant to day. There are many Democrats who despise Vance C. McCormick for ac cepting favors at the hands of the followers of Roosevelt who belts Wil son every day and there are many Mull Moosers who are objecting to the persistence with which Palmer clings to the Democratic ticket. The genial chairman has much to worry over and the outlool. for a peaceful meeting of the State committee next week Is rather hazy to-day. In Philadelphia there was a meet ing of some Washington party ward committees last night and steps were taken to demand that Palmer get off the Schemes to ticket for senator. The Get Palmer P h 1 I a d e 1 p hia Bull Off Ticket Moosers are talking as though they had a right to demand some thing and folks are wondering whether the meeting of the Democra tic State committee here Tuesday is not to force Palmer off by presenting some i arefully manufactured senti ment. The Bull Moosers have been appalled at the weakness shown by their party in New Jersey and Dela ware and think that if Pinchot runs alone it means obliteration. 1 POLITICAL SIDELIGHTS 1 —Reports that the meeting of the Democratic State committee next Tuesday are to give Morris a line on what it is going to cost for each coun ty arc not believed at Democratic headquarters. —lt is said that many Democratic officeholders are slow in paying up campaign contributions. —As everyone else has spoken about Palmer and Pinchot getting off and staying on the ticket McCormick's views would be Interesting. —McCormick will not make any statement to-day on what he thinks about fusion on senator. Or to-mor row, either. —State Chairman Morris overlooked a good one when he let C. Tyson Kratz get away. —II. M. Chalfant, of the Anti-Sa loon League, is named on a political committee, according to the public prints. —Dr. Kreider shows very little de sire to help McCormick out. ' —One Carothers said that if Vance McCormick was elected Governor It would have no national significance. Woof! —Here Is a gem from one of Pin chot's speeches yesterday that was not played up by the Patriot: "The tem perance and moral forces of the State in representative convention have given to me, and not to Mr. Palmer, their powerful support." —Sunbury will give a hearty wel come to Brumbaugh.

All Central Pennsylvania and some of the outlying counties were repre sented at the meeting of Judges and lawyers in Harrisburg on Tuesday at which Judge Kunkel was endorsed for the State Supreme Court bench. The hundreds of attorneys who have prac ticed before him see in Judge Kunkel a. man lifted by every essential quali fication for the high tribunal of the State. It is very fitting and should have great weight with the lay vote that these men, who know him most intimately and are best fitted to Judge, should Join together in a public en dorsement of his candidacy. Judge Kunkel'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 straight to the Supreme bench. He is well known as the man who tried the Capitol conspiracy cases and his labor record is clean. He has served the public as legislator, public pro secutor and judge. He is experienc ed in every branch of the law and an authority on Pennsylvania legislation of all sorts. He was re-elected to the Dauphin county bench on a non partisan ticket without a dissenting vote. He has no business entangle ments 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 lo gical man t'or the judgeship and the public will no doubt agree with the bar in its endorsement. POLITICO-BUSINESS DEAL [From the Pittsburgh Chronicle-Tele graph J "On the whole." as ■Colonel Roosevelt might say, McCormick may be the "most useful member" of the Washing ton party in Pennsylvania, being pos sessed of the sinews of war and hav ing shown a happy disposition to cir culate real money. Dean Lewis had neither silver nor gold for the cam paign. and from the viewpoint of the Hull Mooses of the Keystone State was particularly weak because of the fact. Whatever of opposition there was in the Bull Moose committee to the raw deal was steam-rolled with a reminder from the Washington party boss of the need of money in such campaigns as he conducts. "I want you men to realize what we are up against,' he said, add ing that the Republican campaign fund "might reach $1,000,000.' "We must meet this issue right here and now," he declared. That turned the trick in favor of 'the Harrisburg millionaire and he was given the place on the Washington ticket of which the poor scholar had been dispossessed. Ideals yielded to the cash consideration. If it had not been apparent before It was made so at the meeting of the Washington party's State committee, in Harrisburg. that the purpose in nomi nating McCormick was to obtain the use of his wealth for Washington part workers who have been financed here tofore by Flinn. It is a business deal. Flinn is a business man when it comes to -olitical campaigning, always ar ranging. where possible, to —■• ike the other fellow pay. McCormick also is a business man, of another sort, but a business man, when It comes to politics and political trading, being willing to pay a good price for almost any old nomination, as was demonstrated when his expense account in the campaign for the place on tho Democratic ticket was illed. When business men get to gether for mutual political advantage the partnership Is certain to cost one of them a« goodly sum. Mr. MeCor tnlck's expense account in the campaign for Governor will he filed later. I 1 [From the Telegraph, Sept. 23, 1864.] Presented With Sword This morning Captain Harvey W. McNight, of the.

I Harrisburg Gas Company 14 South Market Square 8e11—2028 Cumberland Valley—7s2 THE 90 PER CENT AND THE 10 PER CENT [Bristol Courier ] At a meeting of the Washington party State committe in Harrlsburg when William Fllnn, the multi-mil lionaire contractor boss of Pittsburgh, delivered his followers to the Demo cratic free trade candidate for Gover nor, he made this amazing assertion: I want you men to realize what we are up acainst. Ninety per cent of the business corporations are supporting Penrose for United States Senator and Brumbaugh for Governor. Consider for a moment what this means. Fllnn and his Washington party associates have always been careful to explain that they are not antagonistic to corporations, but only to bad corporations. In making the assertion that 90 per cent of the business corporations of Pennsylvania were for Penrose and Brumbaugh, Fllnn did not say 90 per cent of the bad corporations, but 90 per cent of all the corporations doing business in this State. Since the great bulk of our business nowadays is transacted by corporations, Flinn was in reality asserting that 90 per cent of the busi ness jnen of Pennsylvania were sup porting Penrose and Brumbaugh. That is to say, 9 out of 10 of the leading citizens of Pennsylvania— manufacturers, bankers, merchants— the men who pay th.e wages and head all those multifarious enterprises which give our society form and sub stance—are demanding the re-elec tion of United States Senator Penrose and the election of Martin G. Brum baugh as Governor. What an admission for a man who is seeking to defeat the will of this vast majority of reputable citizens! No Republican campaign orator could have advanced a stronger argu ment in behalf of the men and poli cies to be voted for on the Republican ticket. Flinn convicts himself as an unscru pulous boss by his public confession that he is endeavoring by manipula tion, intrigue and the unlimited use of McCormick's dollars to defeat the will of 90 per cent and to force upon them the platform and candidates of the 10 per cent.

NAME ADDRESS (Mall or hand your implication to any of the afore committee.') BRUMBAUGH'S TRIBUTE TO SCHOOLS In his speech at Donora, where ho assisted in the dedication of a new high school building:, Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh, the Republican candidate for Governor, said in part: In the public school, where all the children of our people are educated, more than in any other institution in society, we are working out the great problem of our American democracy and our American civilization. If you were to ask me what are the rights of an American citizen, I should, of course, recite to you the Declaration of Independence, which our forefath ers promulgated at Philadelphia in 1776. Our rights are those of life and liberty and the pursuit of hap piness. But if you were lo ask mg A what are the rights of the children of Pennsylvania, perhaps you would hesitate before you undertook in any definite way to formulate their rights. Kverv child living under the flag of this American Republic has a right to a good, substantial home. I do not mean a large richly-appointed home, but one where a good devout father and mother care for and train their children and instill into their lives tho virtues of the domestic life out of which spring all the strength, dignity and glory of our American civiliza tion. There is no larger problem in which the splendid manhood and womanhood of America can educate itself to-day than that of giving to our children good, clean, safe, whole some homes. The child also has a right to a good church. I care not under what creed the child worships. That is a matter which, in America, thank God, is set tled by the freedom which we accord to everyone to worship his God un der his own vine and fig tree. And, amonT the inalienable rights of a child is that of a good school. But it is important that the school should do more than simply train the bodies of our boys and girls. We need also to fibre their thoughts in such way that in all the subsequent relations of life thoy shall be able to speak the truth and do no wrong, for in the last analysis the test of a good Amer ican citizen is that he shall violate no law of his country and speak tho truth upon all occasions.
