' SATURDAY EVENING, SKIT. 26
BE NOT DECEIVED
IT hasn't taken the honest temper
ance folk of the State long to
analyze the purpose and maladroit
ness of the so-called conference of
the antl-llquor Interests held in Har
rlsburg a few days ago. It was so
clearly what is known in criminal cir
cles as a "frame-up" in the interest of
the Democratic candidate for Gover
nor that whatever benefit the candi
date and his friends had hoped to de
rive from the conference has been lost
In the reaction of the sincere temper
ance people against that sort of po
litical duplicity.
Mr. McCormtck has assumed all the
virtues of all the ages and assumes
to stand as the sole champion of local
option in Pennsylvania when he
knows that Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh
declared unequivocally his position in
favor of this proposition In the an
nouncement of his candidacy. As a
result of this effort to deceive the
friends of local option In the interest
of McCormick, thousands of temper
ance people throughout the State are
manifesting their displeasure in out
spoken declarations for the distin
guished Republican candidate. They
have no patience with the dragging
of the local option issue into a parti-
San campaign by the bosses of the
.Anti-Saloon League contrary to the
theory and purpose of the principle at
stake. Dr. Brumbaugh spoke with
evident feeling when he said in his
speech a day or two ago:
I have declared for local option,
no matter what our traducers may
say about it. 1 stand in favor of
that proposition and if some good
people have been mislead and mis
guided In their thought about that
matter some day they will be
ashamed of the things they have
done to us who have been their
staunch, steady supporters for the
best things for all Pennsylvania.
, It is perhaps unnecessary to refer'
\ to the trickery and hypocrisy of the
Palmer-McCormlck campaign, but it is
onV fair that honest voters should be
warned against the underhand meth-1
ods which are being employed to ac
complish the selfish ends of the little
group that set out a year or two ago
to build up a political machine on a
false platform of reform.
Enough has already developed in
the campaign to demonstrate how in
sincere are these men and to what
lengths they will go to achieve their
ambitious purposes. Turning their i
hacks upon the broken pledges of the !
Wilson administration in the matter
of civil service, the Panama Canal
tolls, the barter and sale of federal
positions, and the extravagance and
waste of the administration, these
hand-picked candidates of the Presi
dent have the temerity to go up and
down Pennsylvania attacking and mis
representing and abusing bigger and
better men in the hope of securing for
themselves additional power to work
their s'veet wills upon the people of
the State.
The Harrisburg Patriot talks of co
ercion of State employes in the raising
of campaign funds, but Is silent as to
the maclng of Federal officeholders for
the benefit of the Palmer-McCormlck
machine. Hypocrisy has almost run the
limit In this day of bogus reform.
WHY NOT THE Y. W. C. A.?
IF you have property or a good in
come and have been thinking that
perhaps you ought not to spend all
of your money on yourself, why not
consider furnishing a room in the new
Y. W. C. A.?
There are scores of men and women
In Harrisburg who could make such
a contribution and not feel it. The
Y. W. C. A. building Is almost ready
for occupancy—all but the furnish
ing, and that looms up as a very big
item, Indeed. The purpose of this in
stitution, built from the contributions
of generous Harrisburgers, is to pro
vide better surroundings for young
women now living in boarding houses,
to provide a meeting place for those
who are comfortably housed and in a
general way to do for the girls of the
city what Christian associations are
designed to do for the boys. It is not
intended to he a money-making enter
prise. In the very nature of tilings it
must depend largely upon the gifts of

the public. It is going to he one of
the most worthy institutions in the
city.
Have you given your contribution
towards it? Or. If you have given
■ something, have you given as inueh as
you can afford?
If the people in the State do not
realize what a monstrous thing this
is. they should give it thought. It
is another evidence of the heart
less creed of the gang that public
j position is a private graft which is
to be made the subject of barter,

price may have the position— Har

This significant statement from the

ANOTHER WAIL
NOT once, but many times, the
Telegraph has pointed out the
fallacies of the so-called reform
involved in the adoption of the
I open primary system now in force in
j Pennsylvania. It has been a delusion
| and a snare from the beginning and
jin its operation has shown the mani
fold defects which were apparent
i when the proposition was tirst sub-
I mitted to the Legislature.
| Now comes the vigorous protest of
I the people of New Jersey against the
! working out of a similar law in that
| State. A dispatch from Trenton states
|that the
experience that ended 011 Tuesday
was not needed to convince the
people of New Jersey that the pri
mary system has not improved con
ditions. They realized that after
one or two years trial with the
new law. which was intended to
give to the people the right and
power to choose their candidates
and "open the way for ambitious
young men to enter political life.''
The way has been opened all right,
and the voters have the opportu
nity to pick their candidates, but
under such conditions that there
has been a very noticeable falling
off in the standard of public of
ficers. ,
One effect has been the almost
complete disorganization of parties
and the creation of such bad feel
ing in the strife for nominations
that legitimate campaign work is
made ineffective. For Congress, for
instance, most of the aspirants were
of such average and ordinary abil
ity, standing and influence that few
of them would have been considered
even for legislative nominations
under the old system, when men of
prominence would confer and in
duce men to consent to the use of
their names.
Now the candidates pick them
selves. Men with any sense of
modesty refuse to be put In the
position of seeking a place, and of
making two tights lo get It. one for
the nomination and the other for
election.
Here In Pennsylvania the same con
ditions have been created by the pri
mary "reform." Within a few days
those "reformers" who insisted most
strenuously on the adoption of the
new system have been guilty of strik
ing down its fundamental principle—
the selection of candidates by the peo
ple without the Interference of politi
cal bosses. William Draper Lewis, the
most conspicuous offender in this re
spect, was nominated In an open pri
mary by the voters of the Washington
party for the highest office In the
State. fie has seen fit for his own
ends to throw aside the principles of
his party and now proposes to do his
utmost to lead those voters who sup
ported him into the camp of the free
trade Democratic candidate whose
sponsor, the President, is being assail
ed most vigorously by the head and
front of the Progressive movement in
the United States—-Colonel Roosevelt.
It is no wonder that the honest vot
ers begin to doubt the so-called "re
former" who Is constantly insisting
upon a change in this and a change
in that simply to promote his own sel
fish ends.
Hon. Thomas Lynch Montgomery,
the State Librarian, and all others
Interested in the movement to obtain
for Harrisburg the advantages of the
Wharton School of the University of
Pennsylvania have reason to congratu
late themselves on the results of their
splendid effort. Already the enroll
ment has largely exceeded the original
limit and the interest continues to in
crease to such an extent as to Justify
the hopes of a large school for Harris
burg. The formation of this class will
provide one more educational advantage
for the people of this section, and Mr.
Montgomery writes the Telegraph that
he is delighted the young men and
young women of this vicinity are to
have the privilege of meeting the full
University faculty In the Harrisburg
branch of the Wharton School.
UNCLEAN" HANDS SPREAD GERMS
IN five languages the Harrisburg
Board of Health has caused to be
posted in the various market
houses a sign bearing the following
legend:
"UNCLEAN HANDS SPREAD DIS
EASE. HANDLING, TASTING OR
TOUCHING FOODS EXPOSED FOR
SALE IS FORBIDDEN UNDER PEN
ALTY OF LAW."
This is directed toward the purchas
ers who throng the market houses
every Wednesday and Saturday, finger
ing meats, using their thumbnails to
scrape a "taste" of butter from a roll,
pawing over bread and in a hundred
ways spreading germs over foodstuffs
that others will buy.
There is no excuse for anybody
handling any articles displayed in
market that ho or she does not intend
to buy. The Board of Health is right.
Not only is the practice a filthy one,
but it does spread disease. The Board
should follow the placarding of the
market houses with a few arrests.
Penrose is on the Run.—Headline .

Toward Washington, of course.
[ TWO-CENT POSTAGE
Tl HE Philadelphia Inquirer is striv
ing to interest the government
in a two-cent postage for letters
to points anywhere in North or
I South America. South America is the
j objective point. The Inquirer decides
very properly that we cannot expect
to do a great volume of business with
countries against which we discrimi
nate in the matter of postal rates.
The suggestion is a good one. If
we can send letters to England and
Germany for two cents, there should
be no reason why South America
should not be reached at the same
rate. Perhaps it would mean a sac
rifice of revenue for a short time, but
the returns would warrant the reduc
tion. If we are to engage in extensive
trade relations with the nations to the
south of us we must do all In our
power to encourage them to do busi
ness with us, and a two-cent letter
rate would be a bis step In that
direction.
Democratic disaffection in Congress
Is simply a reflex of Democratic disaf
fection throughout the country.
I EVENING CHAT I
Suggestions for changes in the
State's third class city law will be con
sidered by city solicitors of the score
or more of municipalities of that class
at a meeting to be held here just be
fore the commencement of the General
Assembly next January. The general
operation of the law was considered at
a meeting held at Meadville and the
criticism and suggested changes of
the law were referred to the solicitors
to consider In advance of the legis
lative session. A number of changm
have been suggested, but there iB a
disposition to observe the working out
of the law before making changes.
Representatives of boroughs of the
btate will also have meetings here
prior to the session of 1915, and it is
probable that suggestions for the pro
posed code of laws governing bor
oughs will be made. The State legis
lative Reference Bureau is about to
issue the first codification of the laws
of the State relative to boroughs, and
criticisms will be invited in advance
of its submission to the Legislature.
The whole subjdet of borough law
will be considered at the convention
to be held before many months. It
has been found that there are many
contradictory provisions in the statutes
relative to the smaller municipalities.
Farmers in this section of the State
are showing a very canny disposition
in regard to their wheat this autumn,
according to reports which are reach
ing the city, and there are a good
many hundreds of bushels that are
tucked away in barns and granaries
that will stay there for a while. This
section has produced an immense
amount of wheat and after the farm
ers have taken out what they require
for seed for the coming year's crop
there is a considerable amount over
and above what they are able to store
that is available. This, according to
well-posted men, is what is being sold.
The bulk of the crop is being stored.'
Another Interesting thing about
this year's abundant crops is coming
to light, and it is the fact that farm
ers have taken to the old-fashioned
way of keeping apples by "burying"
them, as it is called. Before the days
of cold storage warehouses and com
mission merchants, who always found
a market for the fruit, farmers
used to place the apples and other
fruit that would keep in holes In the
ground, which were boarded up and
tilled with straw. They kept very well
during the winter and commanded
Rood prices in the Spring. This year
there are so many apples and other
fruits that farmers have been unable
to get very good prices, and some who
have not "buried' apples tor years
have been planning lo do so. It is
said that in some parts of the Cum
berland Valley they will be large
amounts of fruit stored in the hope
of better prices in the Spring.
When the present campaign ends
there will be a sigh or relief go up
around this part of the State because
this city has heen more or less the
center of the whole political disturb
ance and there really has been poli
tics forced on the attention of people
for eight or nine months. The guber
natorial campaign appears to have
started up about tl\e time the votes
were counted last November. II is the.
longest campaign ever known because
the primary section was about as
strenuous as the present wind up. And
the end is five weeks off.
School News, the publication of the
State Soldiers' Orphan School at Scot
land, contains a handsome picture of
Senator Franklin Martin, of West
Fairy lew, in its issue this week. The
Senator is the Senate member of the
State commission and reference is
made to his war record. Few know
it, but the Senator came out of the
war as a lieutenant in the heavv ar
tillery, having served in Fort Monroe
and other big posts.
The paper presented at the Indus
trial Welfare and Efficiency conference
by Dr. Thomas Darlington, of New-
York, has been printed in pamphlet
form. It deals with methods of co
operation between employers and em
ployes for the betterment of conditions
in plants and is the result of years
of study. Dr. Darlington is a brother
of Bishop J. H. Darlington and was
formerly health chief in New York
city. He is now the active spirit in
the welfare commission of the Amer
ican Iron and Steel Institute. The
doctor's paper is a very practical one
and shows how fatigue, the greatest
enemy of efficiency, can be overcome
to a certain extent by surroundings
and care for men. It represents the
very highest spirit of American em
ployment.
Some of the trolley conductors are
men of very quick wit. They have to be
to meet the jokers who get on the cars
determined to amuse themselves. Last
evening a pair of youths in latest garb
from hats to socks got on a suburban
car and after taking their seats called
out to know if the conductor could
change a twenty.
"Sure, come back and get It," an
swered the conductor, flashing a large
roll of bills.
The youths ddl not have two dol
lars. let along twenty, and smiled in a
sickly fashion.
"Come on and get it," insisted tlio
conductor, displaying the cash.
"Aw, we left it at home," responded
one youth.
The conductor promptly rang the
bell to stop the car and called to the
youth that it was his place.
"I don't want off here." said the
gay lad.
"Oh." said the conductor, ringing to
start up. "I thought you wanted to
go home and get your twenty to last
you to-night.'"
And the whole car laughed.

M'GOIICK GETS
STINGING RETORT
Philadelphia Public Ledger Takes
Up Hit "Challenge" and
Hands One in Return
ASKED WHERE HE STANDS
Fusion in the State Declared to Be
Impossible, Says Another
Independent Paper
Vance C. McCormick, whose mock
heroic efforts to attract attention by
"challenges" have been played to the
limit by his own newspaper and hardly
anywhere else, got a stiff reply from
a "challenge" he hurled at the Phila
delphia Public Ledger. Nothing has
caused more chagrin to the wealthy
Harrisburg candidate than his failure
to get the support of the great inde
pendent morning newspaper of Phila
delphia, and angered by its advocacy
of Dr. Brumbaugh as the best litted
man for the Governor's chair, he un
dertook to play Ajax the other day up
the State. In this case the lightning
appears to have hit him.
McCormick challenged the Ledger
to tell where Brumbaugh stands. The
Ledger replied to-day that Brum
baugh stands unbossed and that 253,-
000 Republicans, or more than all
the Democratic vote cast, supported
hiin at the primary. The Ledger says
that he stands for local option, lor
square labor laws, protection of la
borers in hazardous occupations, for
safeguarding public health, for good
roads, for woman suffrage and for
'The gospel of the splendor of our
[Commonwealth," and not making its
fair name a target for mud.
Then the Ledger adds: "And there
are other things he stands against,
which ace just as important as his
postive declarations. He is opposed
to those who traduce and villify Penn
sylvania by deed or word, and he does
not believe in robbing a man of his
good name by defaming him, even
though he is a candidate for office.
There is no doubt where Brumbaugh
stands.
"May the Public Ledger ask Mr.
McCormick where he now stands on
McNair, nominated by the old Demo
cratic ring, which for twenty years
was in secret alliance with Penrose
and Penroseism?"
Another very significant thing in a
Philadelphia newspaper appeared last
night when the Philadelphia Evening
Bulletin, the biggest in
dependent evening
Bulletin newspaper in the east-
Vontilatpv em part of the country
the Fusion outside of New York,
declared that fusion be
tween the Democrats
anrl Washingtonians was an impossi
bility. The Bulletin, which is noted
lor its sane editorials and for its very
independent stand, makes this quota
tion from the speech of Colonel Roose
velt at .Spring-field, 111.: "Our policy
and our practices are as far as the'
poles from the policies and practices
—in their essence entirely bourbon
and reactionary—that the Democratic
party organization at Washington has
advocated and partially put into ef
fect.' Then the Bulletin says; "When
Mr. Roosevelt comes into Pennsylva
nia to advocate Progressive support
for the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor, he will be giving succor to the
very party and policies and practices
which he thus denounces as being as
far removed as the poles from the
desires and purposes of the Progress
ive party. A vote for the Democratic
candidate for Governor is a direct vote
for the party which he describes as
"bourbon and reactionary," and a
vote for Mr. Pinchot for Senator is a
half vote for Mr. Palmer, who wants
to go to the Senate to aid the Demo
cratic Administration at Its vital point
of need In putting these objectionable
policies into effect. Fusion between
two parties, as far removed as the
poles from one another, is an impos
sibility. Nor can the State and na
tional candidacies on the ticket be
separated and distinguished as ex
pressions of the voters' will. In fact,
Mr. Roosevelt comes into Pennsylva
nia solely on the ground that great
national Issues are at stake and are
of paramount importance in the cam
paign. His interference in purely
State affairs would be resented. He
comes as sponsor for the national pro
gram of the Progressive party and
consistently cannot espouse Demo
cratic candidacies for any office."
One of the most Interesting and en
tertaining features of the campaign
is th?" manner in which sentiment is
being fanned In the
'"home town" by the
Expensive partisans of Vance C.
to Holil McCormick. You do
Homn Town not hear so much
about Palmer as you
do about McCormick
and as folks here arc pretty well ac
quainted with "Farmer" Creasy he
is left out and it Is not grood form to
mention the name of McNair In cer
tain Democratic quarters. As for the
Democratic nominees for Congress-at
large no one seems to know who they
are around some of the Democratic
district "posts." The meetings being
held cost some dollars each night, the
bands running into money and the i
men in charge do not appear to be
bothered about the cash necessary to
run the show.
In an open letter to ex-Senator Wil
liam Flinn and his associates in the
fusion deal with McCormick, who is
now the head of the mule
ticket, C. Tyson Kratz,
of Montgomery cou n- Kratz
ty, says: "Hundreds of RapH
thousands of his sup- Flinn
porters In this State in
common with m y s-e 1 f ,
hoped that events would so shape
themselves, and that he and his re
sponsible leaders in this State would
so act that we could in 1916 make
a united representation to the Repub
lican party that Colonel Roosevelt was
the only man tfiat could win over
President Wilson, well knowing that
as the candidate of the Progressive
party alone he had no chance of suc
cess. I had already determined to
assist In putting his name on the Re
publican ballot for the primary of
that year, and if necessary, under the
law of the State, to stand as a delegate
in his interest. Manifestly it was the
part of wisdom in this gubernatorial
contest for you gentlemen to follow
the wishes of at least 75 per cent, of
his supporters in 1912 and put Doctor
Brumbaugh, whose cause these 75 per
cent, early espoused, on the Washing
ton ticket for Governor and make the
contest on senator alone. Colonel
Roosevelt and his friends had no case,
no grievance, against Doctor Brum
baugh."

I,OST—ONE PARTY
By Wing Dinger
The Patriot, this morning.
Told of an awful fate.
How yesterday McCormick
Was forced to ride a freight.
It told of roads In bad shape,
And gave that as excuse
For spending hours riding
In a tall-end caboose.
But In another paper.
Not printed In this town,
I read a different story.
The facts it thus puts down—
The Democrat campaigners
Got lost in New York State,
And Palmer and his party
Were forced to flag a freight.
VVhlchever's true, tail-enders
They were, so don't let's row.
Eventually 'tis certain
So why not be right now?
1-ETTERSTOThEEDITQR 1
M CORMICK S ABUSE
To the Editor of the Telegraph:
I am much interested in reading the
speeches made by Vance C. McCor
mick, the Democratic candidate for
Governor, especially those in which
he announces that if made Governor
he will "clean out tlie whole thieving
lot oji Capitol Hill." ami rid the state
of "thieves and plunderers In the
Capitol from top to bottom." Nat
urally such expressions interest me for
obvious reasons: Among those who
are employed at the Capitol are many
reputable citizens of Harrisburg, men
prominent in church affairs, who fear
God and try to do their duty to their
fellow.man in a conscientious, Chris
tian spirit. Some of these Capitol
Hill employes attend the church of
which Mr. McCormick is a member.
Some of them attend the Sunday
school of that same church. I have
reason to believe that these people
feel aggrieved and hurt that Mr.
McCormick should call them thieves i
ami plunderers. If he believes the.v I
are what he calls them, why does he
stultify himself by sitting in church
with them and participating with them
in the church religious rites?
If he knows these people to be
thieves and plunderers why does he
not denounce them to the church, as
any good churchman should? why
does he mingle and consort with them
and greet them in the church? I am
not a churchman, but I am jiaturally
curious to know how Mr. McCormick
can reconcile his public utterances
with his private actions, they being so
very dissimilar. One member of the
denomination to which Mr. McCor
mick belongs is a Capitol Hill attache
and an officer in the church. Occa
sionally I see him pass the contri
bution plate. How can a church offi-*
cial branded by another church official
as a thief and a plunderer be per
mitted to pass the plate? Are they
not fearful that this man might steal
the money placed on the plate? If he
would steal from the Rtate, as Mr.
McCormick charges, would he not also
steal from the church? I know that
the church official I refer to would
scorn to touch a cent of money that
was not' his. and yet he is among
those branded as "thieves and plun
derers" by a fellow-churchman, and
of the same religious denomination.
It strikes me that this is shameful
campaigning. To what depths does a
man fall when he strives for office!
FOURTH WARD.
POUTICAi. SIDELIGHTS 1
—Yes. Where does McCormick
stand on McNalr and the influences
that put him on the Democratic
ticket?
—The Patriot says to-day: "The
merry time of the year has arrived,
when the State employes are expected
to dig down in their pockets and from j
the contents thereof help replenish:
the war chest." Just substitute the
world Federal for State and the edi-1
torial fits the Democratic party in]
Pennsylvania exactly.
—-The action of the Democratic
campaign committee in catching the
caboose of a freight is significant.
That's where they will be on Novem
ber 4. on the tail end of a train that's
behind time.
—Honestly, Vance, did you hit New
York State roads?
—Only a week ago Penrose, who
weighs more than Palmer and Mc-
Cormick, did not have any trouble
traveling many miles through the very
counties traversed by the caravan of
the Democracy.
—ls it possible that McCormick's
chauffeur may have gotten on some
New York State roads and just imag
ined that they were Pennsylvania
State roads?
—Or did they hunt out some muddy
roads and make a grandstand play?
—Why did not Palmer and McCor
mick mention the routes they took?
—So there is to be one Pa-Mc
League for all of Cumberland county,
not one for each town. Selali.
—The returns of the organization
of the Pa-Mc league at Rife are not
In.
—Pinchot is up in Warren county,
where the rain was heavy. He did
not miss his way.
—Fusion does not seem to be pro
gressing much beyond McCormick.
—Roosevelt's tour Is annoying a
good many Democrats and has put
the Progressives up in the air.

Louisville, Sept. 26. Passengers
from Atlanta report all quiet. A portion
of that city is being destroyed and lum
ber from the dwellings used to con
struct camps. The rebel army is swing
ing around to cover the Atlanta and
West Point Railroad, so as to prevent
our advance on Mobile.
HANDWRITING ON THE WALL
[Froin the Philadelphia Public Ledger.]
Pennsylvania liquor men should heed
the handwriting on the wall, for the i
verdict of Virginia proves that if their
ill-advised opposition to local option |
r-11«11 be persisted In they must face the I
alternative of State-wide prohibition,
with Its long train of evils. In Vtr- i
ginia it is significant that the open I
saloon lias been banished by the vote of I
the country districts, the cities almost
without exception having voted against
the prohibition cause. The effect will I
be to effectually destroy the vital prill- j I
clple of home rule and Impose upon i
communities a rule of action not sup- 1
ported by public opinion. It has been
the experience in every prohibition
State that premature laws forbidding
the sale of liquor have led to conditions 1
far worse than before, the most serious
manifestation being open disregard of
the law which everywhere follows pro- •'
htbitlon. '
Local option, applied by the sanction '
of homogeneous communities, Is a fur
better remedy for the evils of the un
restricted sale of liquor than State- !
■wide prohibition in advance of public '
opinion to uphold It. '
