MONDAY EVENING, SEPT. 28
1 ME. KREIDER'S SPEECH
CONGRESSMAN KREIDER ought
to place in the hands of every
voter in the Eighteenth Con
gressional district a copy of his
frpeech on the Infamous attempt of the
Democrats at Washington to saddle on
the common people of this country an
Rddltlonal tax of $105,000,000.
The speech Is not partisan, although
made by a Republican. Rather it Is a
ulmple exposition of business and gov
ernmental conditions in the United
States at the present time. Congress
man Krelder's analysis Is clear and
pis conclusions are logical and correct,
ite proves beyond question that the
Democratic tax Is not needed at this
time and that there would be in the
national treasury just now, even
■with the reduced revenues due to the
Underwood tariff, a tremendous sur
plus instead of a threatened deficit
Jiad it not been for the unprecedented
extravagance of the Democratic Con
gress.
Not only does the speech sum up
very clearly the whole subject of gov
ernment revenues and expenditures,
hut it shows very clearly that.Con
gressman Kreider has a deep under
standing of national affairs and knows
how to apply his knowledge.
While railing about Republicans con
tributing to the campaign fund of their
party, the Harrishurg Patriot, personal
organ of the Democratic candidate for
Governor, says not a word regarding
the holding up of Democrats for help
Jn the "cause."
MEXICO!
WE listen In vain for a word
from those who have been
praising so enthusiastically the
"triumph" of President Wil
son's . "watchful waiting" in Mexico.
What every thinking man knew would
happen has happened. Carranza and
Villa, have taken It up where Huerta
and Carranza left off. There is noth
ing new in the situation. It is the
pamft old mud puddle stirred up with
a. new stick. Mexico is no nearer a
permanent settlement of her troubles
than she was a. year ago. The United
States has done nothing more than
kill a few Mexicans, sacrifice the lives
of a few bluejackets and spend a for
tune In the futile occupation of Vera
Cruz. The President's policy is futile
and doomed to another failure.
What is the end to be?
There are unmistakable signs of an
awakening of the honest local option
people to the fact that the attempt to
use a great movement for the benefit
of a partisan candidate for Governor
lias seriously damaged the cause. All
over the State there are mutterings
against the betrayal of the movement
by scheming politicians who care little
about local option, but who are desper
ate In their purpose to accomplish their
own ends.
EUROPEAN NEWSPAPERS
ENGLISH newspapers and peri
odicals of recent date, notably
the London Times, the Observer
and the Sketch, and several
German newspapers have reached the
Telegraph office. From the very heart |
of the war zone, as they are, and ap- I
pealing for patronage to peoples I
vitally Interested in the progress of I
the war, they contain less real war i
news than the Telegraph has printed ]
every day since hostilities began. The 1
German papers are particularly bar
ren of tidings from the front, except
where German successes are meagerly
set forth. The London publications
have little more.
Most interesting, possibly, of all they
print is the evident decision of the
British empire to fight It out to the
■bitter end. The newspapers recognize
that England has to make its armies
ibefore it puts them in the field, but
the disposition to enlist Is not lacking,
and the government is going about its
task in a very businesslike and effect
ive manner. Steadiness of purpose,
cheerful acceptance of conditions and
optimism as to the outcome are the
characteristics reflected by the Eng
lish press.
The German editors express just as
much confidence In the kaiser s forces,
but their columns reflect the demand
of the nation for the quick and cer
tain results the people had been led
MONDAY EVENING. SXRJRISBURG TELEGRAPH 1 SEPTEMBER 28, 1914,
I 'ii believe would follow the German
inyaslon in Franco and there is not a
; little feai expressed as to how far the
I Russians may penetrate the country
! from the east.
All told, the people of Europe do
not seem tp be so well or so promptly
informed as to happenings "at the
front" as are the newspaper readers
of the United States.
WE NEED WISE LEADERS
IN view of the continued assaults of
the Wilson administration upon the
legitimate business Interests of the
United States there is little wonder
that there should be serious apprehen
sion regarding the outcome. For a
time many optimistic persons were in
clined to look upon the dangers as
merely phantoms, but even these are
now ready to admit that the running
of industries on half time and the
many signs of industrial distress, the
difficulty of financing enterprises and
the abandonment of plans for expan
sion are concrete examples of substan
tial ills. Recently F. A. Vanderllp,
one of the most clear-headed finan
ciers in the United States, said:
We seem to be without leaders
wise enough to answer such ques
tions so that their conclusions will
convert those holding opposite
views. Thus we have many con
flicting opinions. For myself, I can
only say that the political current
upon which we are now beginning
to travel with tremendous speed,
seems to me liable to land us In a
thorough-going disorganization of
business and industrial life. Those
currents may be engendered and
guided by forces partially sincere
and honest, but only partially, and
even when those forces are sin
cere and honest, they are frequent- I
ly 111 informed as to facts and lack
ing in sound understanding of great
economic principles.
Mr. Vanderlip has put into force
ful language the thought of many
business men and manufacturers who
look with serious apprehension upon
the continued theoretical legislation at
Washington. Starting with an ill-di
gested tariff measure, which has de
pleted the revenues of the government
many millions, there is now precipi
tated upon the country a proposition
to increase the burden of taxes to the
extent of $105,000,000, alleging a
necessity growing out of conditions re
sulting frj>m the European war —a
staggering war tax when we are at
peace.
But standing together the business
and the worklngmen and all who have
observed with Increasing distrust the
persistent experimenting of the gov
ernment at Washington will put an
end to all the doubt and uncertainty
by an overwhelming expression of
their views through the ballot box In
November.
A distinguished historian evidently
foresaw the era of paternalism ush
ered In by the Wilson administration
when he declared:
The great Increase of govern
mental authority, which the era of
regulation demands, will apparently
accrue nlmoiit entirely to the Fed
eral Government, to the EXCLU
SION' of State and I.OCAI. govern
ment*. And it will, furthermore,
break another precedent of Democ
racy and accrue to the executive
rather than to the legislative.
Change is everywhere demanded
and not long ago a member of the
United States Senate declared that
Every step of human progress is
the abandonment or condemnation
of that which went before. There
Is the keynote of much of our loose
political thinking— Every step of
human progress is the abandonment
or condemnation of that which
went before.
This is evidently the theory upon
which the whole Wilson propaganda
is based —what has gone before is to
be abandoned. But the sober, thought
ful people of this country are not go
ing to much longer permit the theor
ists to work their own ways and up
set the traditions and all that which
is best In our system of government.
The fly-swatting campaign °f the
Civic Club was a remarkable success,
and the girls and boys, even those who
failed to win prizes, have the satisfac
tion of knowing that they participated
in a worthy movement.
KHEIMS
WE have It from a no less re
liable authority than Richard
Harding Davis that the Ger
man bombardment of the
cathedral at Rhelms was not acci
dental or Incidental, but premeditated
and unprovoked. Davis Is a truthful
writer and a keen observer. Even
on the second day of the bombard
ment—with the cathedral in ruins—
two shells fell within twenty feet of
him as he was making an Inspection,
he writes.
Appeal to God for help and procla
mations of divine aid come as hollow
mockeries from the mouth of a ruler
who even as he utters the words is
turning the muzzles of murderous can
non against the walls of His temples
here on earth.
City Commissioner Bowman has
wisely suggested that co-operating
with the city school authorities It may
be possible to supply the school chil
dren with hundreds of trees from the
city nurseries to plant on Arbor Day.
BORAX AND THE FLY
FOUR or five years ago J. Horace
McFarland, of this city, president
of the American Civic Associa
tion, objected to the inadequacy
of the work of the Department of
Agriculture at Washington In relation
to the prevention of fly breeding in
manure, calling attention to the fact
that It was useless to expect the
farmer to destroy or injure the ma
nure on which the fertility of his fields
and the food of all of us depends. He
found then that there was no In
formation available as to how to pre
vent the breeding of flies in manure
without destroying its manurial value
or without an unreasonable expense.
Mr. McFarland also started work
about the same time with the experi
ment stations and discovered that the
Ohio station had also arrived at cer
tain less Important but still desirable
conclusions.
Recently the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture issued an ex
tremely important bulletin on the sub
ject. pointing out that borax will pre
vent the typhoid fly from breeding in
horse manure. It states that a small
amount of ordinary borax sprinkled
daily on manure will prevent the
breeding of the ordinary or house fly.
The substance of this bulletin is
printed elsewhere In the Telegraph
this evening and is well worth atten
tion. As Mr. McFarland it
is better to prevent the breeding of
files than to swat them after they have
been bred. /
I EVENING CHAT I
<>ne of the things about lir. Brum
baugh's speeches that have Impressed
many people who read reports of po
litical utterances not so much for the
partisan side as for the indication of
public policy and the language is the
earnest manner In which he has been
advocating the study of the glories of
Pennsylvania history, the realization
of its superb scenery and the adapta
tion of its natural resources to the
needs of the time. Of all candidates
on all tickets, the doctor's speeches
have been the most original, In fact
It might be said that no gubernatorial
candidate in recent years, not except
ing Samuel W. Pennypacker, has ever
preached the gospel of Pennsylvania
or put it In better language. His
speeches remind one of the notable ad
dresses delivered by another sturdy
Pennsylvanian of German extraction,
ex-Attorney General W. U|*Hensel, i n
their love of the Keystone State, their
pleas for recognition of what it has
been and can be made and their
phraseology.
After all, it is that kind of a speech
that wins a man's solid support among
the voters. It has been proven in many
a campaign in Pennsylvania that the
candidates who spoke straight to a
man's pride in his State and awakened
his zeal for the development of its re
sources and its fame was apt to win
firm and lasting friends among the
solid citizenry who make up what is
known to politicians as the "silent
vote" and which often swings a close
'election. Pennsylvania has been re
galed with such a terrific amount of
abuse, printed and verbal, of every
one in office or seeking office or even
mentioned for office, in the past two
decades that it is commented upon
by many people that some candidates
have been deliberately ignoring that
form of appeal. Mr. McCormick has
taken up a style of direct address,
along his own lines, and has progress
ed as a speaker far beyond what peo
ple here have been accustomed from
him. During the time he was a can
didate Dean Lewis preached his doc
trine In a professorial way that carried
some weight and Dr. Brumbaugh has
a style of speaking that appears to bo
very natural to him, some of the
speeches he has made in this vicinity
recalling those which he delivered at
educational and other meetings in the
State's Capital City in years gone by.
The three senatorial candidates
form a striking contrast. Mr. Palmer
is fervid, flowery, almost sophomoric
in his speeches, having all the forensic
skill of the typical political orator,
while Senator Penrose, although fa
mous in his younger days as an ora
tor, has adopted a straightforward,
hammering style of speaking, with
few changes of tones and no festures.
Mr. Pinchot differs from his rivals,
holding to animated, rapid fire sort of
deliverance with plenty of gesticula
tions and much use of a favorite em
phasis which consists In clapping the
palm of his hand with the fingers of
the other, a gesture as originally exe
cuted as any man could desire.
Saturday's perfect weather caused
people owning automobiles to get out
into the country and the result was
that the river road and every State
road in the vicinity of the city was
traversed by more cars than had been
seen on any Saturday in months. And,
judging from the comments of the
fair-minded persons, the condition of
the highways was far better than
three months ago, barring of course,
those sections where repairs were un
der way. As a matter of fact, the
work of the repair forces of the State
Highway Department has put roads
which were a scandal a short time ago
into passable condition and it is a
wonder what has been accomplished
Considering the short time. Some sec
tions, notably in the lower end of the
county and upper Lancaster can stand
more attention, but as a rule the State
highways are now in fair shape and
with the attention which adequate
funds can provide next Spring they
should be in tine form by next sum
mer. Some of the township roads, it
might be added are not in good shape
and the State is accordingly blamed
for which it has noth
ing to do. This can be overcome by
placing on every State highway a
signboard that it is part of the Com
monwealth's road system and desig
nating wher% borough and township
authority begin or end. No adminis
tration, be it Republican, Democratic
or Washingtonian. can escape being
blamed for condition of roads in the
State as long as the highways are not
marked.

MACHINE COUNCIL
FOR Will! SESSION
Democratic Division Leaders Will
Meet to Talk Over Their
Troubles Tomorrow
"BILL" FLINN PASSES IT UP
Says That He Relies on McCormick
to Play Fair in Dividing Pat
ronage of State
The high council of the Democratic
State machine will meet to-morrow at
noon in the Democratc State windmill
in Market Square to find out what the
campaign is going to cost and to de
vise some ways of stiffening up the
sagging ticket. Incidentally, reports
will be made, on the level, of senti
ment In regard to the proposed with
drawal of A. Mitchell Palmer from
the Democratic ticket In favor of Gif
ford Plnchot and on the effect that
the fusion of low tariff Democrats and
high tariff Bull Moosers has had upon
the people. State Chairman Morris
had fondly hoped that the alliance
would fool the people, but he seems
to have been fooled himself.
The executive committee will meet
nominally to ratify the fusion deals
on the congressional and legislative
nominations, including the Second
Dauphin, which is required by the
party rules. The fusion dickers will
be hustled up all over the State to-day
so that the rubber stamp can be af
fixed, while the master minds will try
to work out some explanation of how
Democrats and Washingtonians, op
posed on national issues, can fuse on
a national office like Congressman.
More bad reports reached the wind
mill to-day. One came from Luzerne,
showing that Bull Moosers are going
over to the Republicans and that
Democrats are waiting for a chance to
knife McCormlck and a similar report
from Pottsville, where Palmer has got
ten In bad and McCormick is in worse
thai) ever, which is going some. An
other report was from Clarion where
W. L. Sansom, editor of the Clasion
Democrat, who was steamrollered
when he was turned down for the
post office, has put on war paint, say
ing that Palmer staying on the ticket
weakens Democratic chances.
The Democratic candidates will mo
bilize here to-night for the invasion
of Huntingdon county to-morrow.
Some think McCormick might as well
stay away as the Democrats are fight
ing in court over who shall control
the machine and the people are going
to vote for Brumbaugh anyway.
Judging from remarks made by
William Flinn in Philadelphia on Sat
urday he will hold Vance C. McCor
mick to his promise
to consider that he
Flinn Looks was elected Gover-
For Sharp and nor by Democrats
Share Alike and Washingtonians,
if elected, and de
mand that the spoils
of office be. divided among the Bull
Moosers and Democrats instead of be
ing held solely for distribution among
Democrats. Flinn reiterated this be
lief in McCormick as a divider of
spoils to all comers in Philadelphia
on Saturday, but it was remarked by
some of the newspapers that his in
terviews did not "bristle" with the
confidence that he showed in 1912.
The gist of what Flinn said was that
he "might" do some work under Mc-
Cormick's highway commissioner, if
he gets elected; that there was no
trade or dicker over Lewis' with
drawal; that he would like to see
Palmer withdraw; that McCormick
would get the whole Washington vote,
although he hedged on that when the
revolt of Deakyne and Quay and
others was mentioned; said that Mc-
Cormick if elected would give offices
half and half to Democrats and Bull
Moosers; said that he had not passed
up the Washington party machine
because it was an expensive plaything,
and then said that he thought McCor
mick would be a nonpartisan Gover
nor. This last was in answer to a
question whether McCormick would
not use the AVashington party to build
up a Democratic machine to make
the State Democratic in 1916. Alto
gether it was not a happy day for
Flinn.
Congressman A. Mitchell Palmer
played to the gailfery in Milford, the
town where Pinchot has a voting resi
dence, on Saturday,
when he said that he
would not ask the peo- Palmer In
pie there to vote for Play to
himself, but would Galleries
urge them to vote
against Penrose. As
Pike county is a Democratic strong
hold and they are still voting for
Jackson, Palmer's little joke went all
right. Palmer and Pinchot have
ceased calling on each other to with
draw, but their friends are making a
noise about it. Up to date McCormlck
has not expressed any opinion about
Palmer's withdrawal or whether he
stands for McNair and the influences
that nominated him for Secretary of
Internal Affairs on the Democratic
ticket. The Democratic sideshow
drew poorly in the northeast on Satur
day.
The Philadelphia Press said: "Cyrus
Larue Munson, of Willlamsport, one
of the most prominent Democrats In
Central Pennsylva
nia, and candidate
Munson Says for the governor-
He Will Back ship at the Demo-
Dr. Brumbaugh cratlc convention

promised his full
support to Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh,
the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor. Mr. Munson told Dr. Brum
baugh in a recent Interview that he
would do everything In his power to
aid his election. When Mr. Munson
was asked by a Press reporter about
the subject last night he said his sup
port of Dr. Brumbaugh was hardly of
political significance, since he 'is out
of politics.' 'I highly essteem Dr.
Brumbaugh and believe he will make
a splendid Governor.' Mr. Munson
said. 'I told him that I knew a great
many Palmer Democrats in my part
of the State were strongly In favor of
his election and that I believed he
would receive their strong support.' "

HOT ONES FOR PALMER
"It would be well if Mr. Palmer would
tell the people of Pennsylvania of the
beneflclent efTects of the Underwood-
Simmons tariff act, which has thrown
thousands of men in Pennsylvania out

regarding the thousands of Idle freight

from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh? He

j EDITORIAL COMMENT |
There is no Progressive party left in
New Jersey, for about all the dis
gruntled Republicans have returned to
the fold. The Progressives polled so
? w v ° tes at t* l © primaries on Tuesday J
that they will not appear on the State
ticket.—Philadelphia Public Ledger.
__ As for the infect and abhorred
Barnes, his term of ill as chairman and
member of the Republican committee
ends on September 28. Pitying his con
demned and proscribed condition, we
beseech him to start on September 29
for Burma, there to put on the yellow
robe and to meditate in some pagoda
I on the irrawaddy his sum of demerit,
the ingratitude of men, and, above all,
this saying of the immortal monk and
teacher. Cho Ka:
"The longest thought that ever X
thunk
Is: 'How this world delights In
bunk!' "
—New York Sun.
' It begins to look as if the only man
in Europe who will do any business
after the war will be the junkman.—
New York American.
Europe has knocked the "H" out of
Hague and given it the ague.—Birming
ham News.
HERE THEY ARE—7 OF THEM
[From the Philadelphia Inquirer]
it is just as well to keep In mind the
names of the Democratic Re;V'esenta
tlves of Pennsylvania who voted to
throttle American sovereignty over
the Panama Canal.
Not one Republican member of the
house helped along "this stupendous
folly, this unspeakable humiliation of
the American Republic," as Speaker
Champ Clark put It. But eight Demo
crats did. One of them, to the credit
of the constituents, failed to receive
a renomination. The names of the
other seven, all candidates, follow:
District. Candidate.
Sixth—J. Washington Logue.
Sixteenth—John V. Lesher.
Seventeenth—Frank L. Dcrshem.
Nineteenth—Warren Worth Bailey.
Twentieth—Andrew R. Rrodbeck.
Twenty-tjiird—Wooda Nich. Carr.
And in addition there is
A. MITCHELL, PALMER,
present Representative from (he
Twenty-sixth District, who is the Dem
ocratic and free trade candidate for
United States Senator.
Election day comes this year on No
vember 3.

count of the circumstances under which
Francis Scott Key composed "The Star-
Spangled Banner."
The fiction will prove unusuallv at
tractive to readers. "In the Twilight
Years," is the confession a woman
makes to the waste her life has been
because she yearned too late for
motherhood, that she may warn others,
lest they repeat her folly. "The Key '
to All the Wonders.' by R. B. Tuthili. i
is the story of a girl who hazards iier
capital hoarded from years of teaching
to go In search of the wonders of the
Old World, only to find that in love
she has found the key to them all. Most
delicately and delightfully does Rich
ard La Galllenne. in "A Rose In a
Book." tell how a girl, acting on a mis
chievous impulse, brought love to her
door by casting a rose. And Maude
Radford Warren relates the story of a
gill who found success and love after
years of discontent and hard work be
hind a department store counter.
What is thought by some of the wo
men's clubs and organizations through
out the country of the movement be
gun in the March number of Woman's
World, toward the censorship of popu
lar songs. Is expressed In the many let
ters received from these clubs, some of
which are published In this number.
The leading editorial, "Women and
Patriotism," gives women their proper
meed of praise for the deeds of patriot
ism. stamped on the world's pages of
history in which they have played as
great a part as men. though theirs has
been the seemingly inactive part to ex
ert their Influence In the home, tfv
showing loyalty, sublime courage and
sacrifice.
Dr. Frank Crane describes True Love,
pointing out the characteristics which I
