THT'RSDAY EVENING, SEPT. 24 PATRHOT "PATRIOTISM" WITH that curious obsession which is inseparable from the exaggerated ego. the per sonal newspaper organ of the Democratic candidate for Gov ernor says to-day: The action of Dean Lewis in withdrawing from the race for Governor and throwing his sup port to Mr. McCormick. and the en dorsement of this action by the Washington party committee, meet with the hearty approval of the in dependent voters of the State every where. The only ones who object are those curious political perverts who are so saturated with the virus of Penroseism that they cannot comprehend the patriotism involv ed in these acts. This is of a piece with the same newspaper's comment upon anything and everything which is contrary to its ideas of "patriotism." Everything Is "patriotic" which tends to help the McCormick cause; everything is "cor rupt arrd indecent" that is contru.y to the preconceived notions of the little men who are floundering around in their own inconsistency and hypocrisy. The statement that the deal in this city, whereby McCormick was pre sumed to take over the assets of the "Washington party, has met with the "hearty approval of the independent voters of the State," is refuted daily ■ln the protests and return to the Re publican party of hundreds who iden tified themselves with the third party movement two years ago. Palmer's attack upon Pinchot and Roosevelt's assaults upon the Wilson Administra tion demonstrate quite clearly how harmonious are the elements of the , alleged fusion in Pennsylvania. Instead of the independent voters of the State being in accord with the outrageous political deal that is char- , acterized by the Harrisburg Patriot as a fine example of disinterested "pa trlotism," they are showing their dis gust in every county throughout the , Commonwealth. Scores and hundreds of decent Democrats are also out- , spoken in their opposition to the ■ Palmer-McCormlck outfit. MADE IN HARRISBURG THE "Made in America'"* dele gation of Lehigh Valley Rail- . road officials that has been visit ing towns and cities along the line of that road, urging manufac- , turers to enter the foreign field, is doing a great piece of constructive ■work. We in Harrisburg long ago rec ognized the fact that the export mar ket offered quite as many opportunl- j ties as that at home. Our steel plates buffet the waves In ships under many flags in all parts of the world. Our tinplate ware is used in a dozen . countries. Our pipes carry water in the Philippines, Spain, Mexico and China. Our engines pump mines and provide light and power in Mexico, South America, Cuba and other far-off lands. Our turbine wheels generate power for the Panama canal, the great continent to the south and in many foreign countries. Our shoes have long been favorites in the tropics and , Bemi-troplcs. Our bridges span the gorges of India. The whole world has been our patron. Yet we have barely scratched the surface of market possi bilities. There is much room for missionary work here such as the Lehigh Valley is doing for the patrofis who con tribute to its freight receipts. The manufacturer and the railroad are inter-dependent. Neither could get along without the other. It would seem good business, therefore, for the . Pennsylvania to pattern after the Valley In this matter. The "Made in Harrisburg" tag is pretty well known abroad, and while we ought to have and will have more for eign business than we have, there are other communities along the main line that need Instruction far more than we. A BIG DEMOCRATIC-TAX TRY as they may, the Democratic party bosses cannot escape the wrath of the people in the mat ter of the enormous taxes which are now about to be saddled upon them under the pretext of a war necessity. This country is not at war with anybody, but nevertheless we are THURSDAY EVENING, OXRKISBURG ££l|& TELEGRAPH' SEPTEMBER 24, 1914. advised from Washington, from day i to day. that the program involving ad ditional taxes of *105,000,000 will be forced through, perhaps during the I present week. Senator Burton In the j Senate, and Representative Mann in !the House, strong Republican leaders, | have been doing their utmost to stem ; the tide of Democratic extravagance ! at the expense of business and lnilus • j try, but the juggernaut of Incompetence • rolls on. Not even the approach of an . election—which It might be thought would have a tendency to check the | orgy of expenditure—has had any ef- I feet upon the hungry horde now en !! gaged In the big taxation program, i Discussing the unusual situation and the utter disregard of the Demo- I cratlc party for its pledges of economy | and reduction in the high cost of liv ing, the New York Sun says: But will the House, fresh from the passage of the new tax bill, with the elections only a month away, be in a mood to advertise Its contempt for economy and Its vio lation of its platform pledges after the surrender of the bill's defender in the Senate and the scarcely veiled opposition of the President to Its reckless provisions? We doubt It. Senator Burton has won a splen did victory. Perhaps its full ef fects may be displayed In a new and proper system of river and harbor Improvement. Should this not turn out to he the case his brilliant struggle has been amply repaid and the admirable rules and customs of the Senate which made his stand for Justice to the taxpayers pos sible have been abundantly Justi fied. From all parts of the country are going up protests against the Infamous plan of Increased taxes when business and industry are lagging, but the ad ministration leaders, indifferent to the approaching storm, go on their way, laughing at a burdened people and striving to hide behind the European war. There never was a better Illustration of the truth of the old saying, "whom the gods would destroy they first make mad." JOHN GRIBBEI/S SACRIFICE A RECENT utterance of TaJcott Williams, head of the new- School of Journalism of Colum bia University, is recalled by the resignation of John Grlbbel, vice president of the company publishing the Philadelphia Public ledger. Mr. GribbeL conscientiously opposed the endorsement of Mitchell Palmer for the United States senate by that news paper. The endorsement was made, nevertheless, over his head, and his resignation followed. Mr. Grlbbel made a great sacrifice for the principle involved. He could not stand as a newspaperman for something in which he did not be lieve, no matter what the pecuniary rewards might be. He is the type of Journalist Mr. Williams had in mind when he said: I have known many newspaper proprietors to make immense sacri fices in the cause of truth. And, on the other hand, I have known men who have given up their posi tions rather than do the things asked of them. Of all secular call ings Journalism has the most martyrs. Sane in his views and true to his convictions, John Grlbbel could not lend himself to the endorsement of a candidate who is no more nor less than a professional politician pledged to every policy to which the Public Ledger professes to stand opposed. He is a type of which Journalism may well be proud. THE NEGRO'S PROGRESS UNDER the heading "A Half Century Anniversary of Negro Freedom," the State of Illinois announces that in August, 1915, it will celebrate in Chicago the birth day of full liberty for the negro in the United States. The commission having the celebration in charge has gathered 'much enlightening Information as to the manner In which the colored race has responded to its emancipation. The commission finds that freedom has done much for the American negro. It has given him over 20,000,- 000 acres of land to till for himself, according to the report. It has reduced the percentage of illiteracy from 90 per cent, to 30 per cent., while the black population has been increasing from 4,500,000 to nearly 10,000,000. In half a century the number of negro churches has In creased from a little over 400 to 31,000 more than that number, or 7,850 per cent. In 1863 there was but one periodical published by negroes. Now there are 398. Negroes operated 100 insurance companies _ and 72 banks in 1913. A score of other in stances of the material prosperity of the negro race are cited In the report. But, great as It has been, it is not the material progress of the negro that astounded the commission most. To quote the report: "Our information blanks have gone and returned from every part of the world where civil ized negroes live. They prove beyond a doubt that the intellectual, moral and spiritual uplift of this Important portion of the human race exceeds its material growth. Especially Is this true in the American republic, where, from former contempt and ridicule, they have passed to the sympathy and wonderment of their white neighbors, while from their own souls the negro people have arisen from apathy and self-depreciation to more and more just and manly self-assertion." These are facts that should encour age every negro to better efforts. No men anywhere are doing nobler work under more difficult conditions than are the leaders of the colored race in America to-day, as typified, for in stance, by the late lamented Professor Day or our own Dr. Marshall. Looks like President Wilson will have a fine opportunity for more "watchful waiting." Time for Diaz and Huerta to Join in a hearty laugh. W"e have the dustless sweeper, the tireless cooker and now the Iceless re frigerator is announced. If this thing keeps up we may soon have a houre keeperless house. If the proposed Harrisburg Tennis Club does as much for tennis as the Park Golf Club has done for golf, the organization will be well worth while. Don't forget that the Wharton School enrollment lists are still open to ambi tious young men and women. EVENING CHAT I One of the things that people fa miliar with Harrlsburg's remarkable transportation facilities and its impor tance as a shipping center do not un derstand is why some effort is not made to establish a cold storage ware house or place where fruits and agri cultural products may be stored. Here is Harrisburg, pointed out a man who deals in fruits on a large scrfle. within a short distance of the greatost apple district in this part of the country and close to the famous York county strawberry farms and the South Mountain peach belt, and yet while hundreds of cars of fruits pass through the city on their way to cold storage warehouses in Philadel phia. New York. Baltimore and even Reading none stops here. Fruit rais ing has been stimulated very much in this district lately and commercial orchnrds have been planted within thirty miles of the city and there Is no place to store the fruit when It is gathered. The owner must either sell It to commission merchants and ship It away or depend upon the local mar kets. Some years ago a study of the problem was made and attention vas called to the fact that a cold storage warehouse here would enable farmers and fruit growers to store products and would Increase the business of the city and at the same time be a source of greater interest to buyers and shippers as well as furnishing a convenience. Now with the greatest peach crop known in years and all kinds of fruits and vegetables In abundance there is no place where the 'stuff can be stored here. It all goes away. Firemen here are wondering If they can get back to the city for the State convention some of the old Are en gines that helped put out blazes In this city years ago. The old Citizen engine was sold to Ohio and there are hand engines at Newville and Cham bersburg which it is thought came from this city, but their history is not accurate. The Good Will engine was sold In an eastern county. In all probability the oldest hand engine here will be that now in Northumber land. It dates back over 15 —W. J. Merkie, the Allentown horse fancier, has a big exhibit of Per cherons being shown at eastern fairs. —Mayor E. B. Jermyn, of Scranton, has determined to stretch ropes along the main streets to regulate traffic. —George W.

ATTACKING ROOSEVELT [From the New York Sun.l The Democratic Congressional cam paign committee la making a great show of energy and has compiled the usual farrago called a campaign text book. What genius conceived the idea of attacking Mr. Roosevelt and his ad ministration? If the Progressive party Is declining, why should the Democrats think It a stroke of wisdom to abuse the Progressive idol and to drive the Progressives into voting for Republican candidates? j EDITORIAL COMMENT! The Republicans would give too much to a few-men, while the Democrats would not give enough to any man.— From Colonel Roosevelt's Kansas City speech. Judging from the way thev crowd around the "pork barrel" in Washing ton the Democrats are Inclined to give more than enough to their friends that 1s to say, more than enough of the public money.—New York Sun.

OPEN BREAK HEAR OVER SENATORS! Palmer Makes Savage Attack on Pinchot in Speech Delivered in Carbon County M'CORMICK CONTINUES MUM Munson Unites With Brumbaugh; Local Fusion Close to the Rocky Shores Instead of there being fusion be tween the Democratic and Washing ton parties In Pennsylvania this fall It looks as though an open row was about to break out between the lead ers and that Vance C. McCormlck's assumption of the burden of financing the Bull Moosers as well as his own party will be the sorriest spectacle ever seen in a State campaign. Not only have people commenced to smile sneerfully, as might be said, over the attempt to beat Penrose by fusing on a nomination for an office for whtch Penrose Is not a candidate, but McCor mick is. but there is a roar from Bull Moosers to know what they are going to get in return for putting McCor mick on their ticket. And now Pinchot and Palmer are commencing to say things about each other. Tuesday Pinchot commanded Pal mer to withdraw as an answer to the Monroe man's assertion that he would not quit. Yesterday Palmer came back this way: "Mr. Pinchot says, accord ing to this morning's papers, that I ought to withdraw. He says that many Democrats and some Democratic county chairmen have told , him I should withdraw from the race. I do not belong to the withdraw family. Mr. Pinchot represents a party that was organized as a protest against Penrose and Penroseism in the Re publican party, but I represent a party that not only has been opposed to Penrose .but which also has more ad vocates now in the nation than those of any other party. I would be untrue to that party if I did not continue to carry Its banner, and I believe I will carry it on to victory. Not a single Democrat has suggested to me that I ought to withdraw from the ticket, and I challenge Mr. Pinchot to pro duce the name of a single Democratic county chairman who has asked him or me to take my name oft the ticket. If anyone thinks that Mr. Pinchot rep resents better government than I, let him vote for' Mr. Pinchot." The effort of the Democratic city machine to bull through a fusion dicker on legislative candidates has not yet borne fruit, but it was stated this morning that Herr Fusion Not Moesleln had hopes Working in that when Boss Mc- the City Cormick came home . next time he would ' be' able to report to him that it had been worked. Wilmer Crow, one of the Washington candidates, has been asked by many of his friends in his party to stand fast and it was re ported- this morning that John A. Marshall considers his brief from the people at the primaries just as good as that given to Jesse Joyful Lybarger. In political circles it is believed that the whole fusion game in the city is nothing more than a scheme of the Patriot to help Lybarger. It threw him into the Forgettery one evening and has been trying to square things ever since. The only trouble Is that every time a race is run Jesse is put up against faster horles. The Philadelphia Press to-day says: "Ex-Secretary of State Philander C. Knox completely denied the published story that he was a candidate for the place Knox Says of United States Sen- He is Not a ator George T. Oliver Candidate at the next senatorial election in 1916 when a Press reporter inter viewed him yesterday afternoon on the shaded veranda of the golf house of the Merlon Cricket Club. Mr. Knox had just returned from a round of the course. As he leisurely smoked a cigar and rested he commented upon manufacturing development in this country with a view to extending our foreign trade, the growth of manu facturing in Japan, and like the diplo mat that he is. barely touched upon «uch subjects as the European war and political developments in this country." Larue Munson, of Williamsport, who could have had the Democratic nomination for Governor in 1910, yes terday met the Re publican candidate and pledged his sup- Munson Says port to Dr. Brum- He Favors Dr. baugh. Mr. Munson Brumbaugh said that the people were tired of politics and wanted a business administration, which he was confident Dr. Brum baugh would give to Pennsylvania. He declared that the Republican ticket would carry Lycoming county by a substantial majority in Novem ber. Mr. Munson stated that many Democrats were dissatisfied with their party and would turn in for Dr. Brum baugh and the entire Republican ticket. A similar view was expressed by Clarence E. Sprout, a prominent attorney of Williamsport. I POLITICAL SIDELIGHTS 1 —McCormick will have a chance to go abroad next winter and see for himself what misfits Wilson has put into consular.offlccs in Europe. —Col.

Tvson Kratz put some awful dents in it. —Colonel Roosevelt will be greeted by the Bull Moosers in Philadelphia on October 1. And McCormick will be there with them. —State Chairman Morris does not appear to be getting much sentiment in favor of withdrawing Palmer. —Those Palmer speeches coming so soon atfer the nice things the Bull Mooser said about McCormick are not very good return. —Palmer now has a few charges, or counts, as he may term them, to answer for himself. —Palmer's part In drafting the Un derwood tariff law is not being played up so much in the Patriot these days. —The organization of a Pa-Mc League at Rattling Run has been post poned. Deodate has not been heard from, or Enola. —Pinchot Is out in the northwest. It is up to him to hand Palmer a few more jabs. —Montgomery county has formed a Brumbaugh citizens' committee. —John H.

Union Trust Company Union Trust Building The So-Called Era of the Ren aissance of History Larned Includes It In His Fourth Epoch Larned'B division of all History into six great epochs is logical as well as interesting. His fourth epoch is one of the greatest of all historical eras. In that period, for instance, appear Gut enberg, the inventor of printing; Co lumbus. who discovered the new world; Copernicus, who first demonstrated that our earth was a sfttelite of the sun; Kepler, who learned the secrete of the planets, and formulated the laws of their movements: Galileo, who anticipat ed the methods of modern science; Cer vantes. who wrote one of the world's masterpieces; Raphael and Michael An gelo, who raised painting to a height not known before; Loyola, who founded the great order of the Jesuits; Luther, who wrought a change in the religious faith of Europe; pnd Shakespeare, per haps the mightiest human Intellect the world has ever seen. These are among the great names treated of by Lamed in his fourth epoch, which. It may seem strange, did not produce a single mill, tary genius of the first order. Ther« can be no question that Larned's His. Tory of the World, now being distribut ed to the readers of this paper, Is th« greatest of Its kind, and should be in every home in the country. His de scription of his fourth epoch, alone, ii well worth the small distributing eosl asked, aTid the coupons appearing dailj in these columns should be cut oul without delay and presented at thlj office. i WEMSM I [From the Telegraph, Sept. 24, 186* Killed at Iron n orks While workmen at the Pennsylvania Iron Works, in Chester, were en deavoring to. raise a large Iron flask used in the molding department Rob ert Williamson, of this city, was in stantly killed when it slipped and fell on him.
