WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPT. an
HOPE OF THE WORLD
THE hope of the world lies to-day
in America. With what eager
eyes the Christian people of
Kurope are looking toward this
country to maintain the task of
epreading civilization throughout the
earth is illustrated by the appeal of
the Lutherans of Germany to the Lu
therans of the United States to take
over their work of foreign missions.-
It must not be thought that the people
of Germany, or France, or lOngland
liave forgotten their ideals because
-their rulers have plunged them into
•war. The voice of the contlicting na
tions would be almost unanimously for
peace, did the masses have their way.
So it Is to America, where the gov
ernment is more responsive to the
voice of public opinion, that Europe
looks in her hour of helplessness. The
burden laid upon us is a heavy one,
hut this nation has never progressed
more substantially than when bear
ing forward with steady and unfalter
ing steps the beacon fired by the men
who wrote the Declaration of Inde
pendence and framed the Constitu
tion. This is not flamboyant patriot
ism. It is a plain statement of his
torical fact that those who are guid
ing our affairs to-day will do . well to
give heed.
It must be evident to the Democrat
■who is not blind that the game of
double dealing and hypocrisy that has
been played to the limit by the Palmer-
McCormick machine in this State is '
doomed to failure. It could not have
been otherwise, and already the rigns I
of collapse are apparent to everybody j
save those who are so blinded by egotism i
and ambition that they cannot read I
the signs of the times.
SEED TIME AND HARVEST
LAST Spring we preached a little
sermon in these columns on the
virtues of the backyard garden.
Mayhap some readers took it
home to themselves and made their
backyards earn their keep. If so, and
they planted judiciously, they are now
reaping their reward, even as they
have been doing during all the sum
mer months since the first radish grew
to edible size.
The man with a backyard garden is
now harvesting his turnips and his
lima beans. He is getting in his
pumpkins, his popcorn and his sweet
potatoes. His celery is receiving its
last "filling" and his winter radishes
are about ready for the cold cellar.
Long since his potatoes are stowed
safely away. Oh, yes, all these things
are possible in really worth while
quantities In even a moderate-sized
backyard! It is all in learning how.
There is no joy quite like that of
harvesting your own crops and laying
them by against the bleak days of
midwinter, unless It be that of plan
ning for the new garden when icy
winds are piling high the snowdrifts
and only the seed catalog and the
roaring grate remain to remind one
of summer's beautiful flowers and
pleasing warmth.
To-day comes a dispatch from
"Washington urging school boards to
take up the work of instruction in
home gardening. With a special ap
propriation from Congress, the United
States Bureau of Education has just
begun the work of Investigation and
promotion of home and school gar
dens. The new division will be under
the direction of a specialist in school
gardening and an assistant, both of
A'hom are to bo experts in this form
of educational activity.
By means of personal visitation,
correspondence and publications it is
the plan of the bureau to co-operate
with school boards throughout the
United States in school and home gar
den work. Investigation has already
shown that many cities have made
considerable progress in school gar
dens, but practically no information
on the subject is available. The first
task of the division will be to supply
this Information.
Eventually it is hoped that every
city'' school will have a teacher em
ployed twelve months in the year who
know 6 gardening both theoretically
•nd practically. During the school
yt*x this teacher will give lnstrue-

lion in nature study, elementary sci
ence and gardening in the morning,
and In the afternoon direct the gar
dening at the homes of the children.
; During the summer vacation the
I teacher will devote all the time to
; directing the garden work.
{ The close supervision that such a
I teacher will be able to give will In
] sure greater success for the gardens
and will familiarize the children with
| the problems of plant production and
utilization. By a co-operative method
all surplus vegetables and fruits will
•either be marketed or canned and pre
j served for sale.
! In announcing the new work, Dr.
Claxton declares:
! School gardening will develop
habits of Industry; an appreciation
i of the value nf money as measured
l in terms of labor and a realization
that every man and woman must
I make his or her own living and
contribute to the welfare of the
community.
! Experiments already have shown
j that with proper directiot. an aver
age child can produce in an eighth
i of an acre of land from SSO to SIOO
worth of vegetables. This would
I add more to the support of the fam
i ily than could be purchased with
S the same child's wages working In
I factory, shop, or mill.
If children can contribute to the
i families' support while in school, it
! will make It possible for them to at
| tend school three or four years longer
than they now do. This is a thing
more and more desirable, since edu
cation for life and citizenship can not
be obtained before the age of 14.
Eventually, perhaps, seed time and
! harvest may come to mean as much
| in the American home as it used to
do when every house had its garden.
Those Democratic bosses who are pre
dicting an Increase In the Congres
sional delegation from Pennsylvania
will hardly be classed as great prophets
after the 3d of November. The Wilson
policies and their disastrous results to
the country are almost certain to send
from this State a solid Republican dele
gation to the next session of the House.
BRUMBAUGH'S WORD
IN an editorial under the caption,
"The Status of Local Option," the
Philadelphia Record, the leader of
the Democratic newspapers of
Pennsylvania gives Dr. Brumbaugh,
the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor, the highest sort of a testimo
nial, which must taste as gall and
wormwood to the rival candidate, who
continues day after day to intimate
that Dr. Brumbaugh cannot be trusted
on this issue. The Record says of
Brumbaugh and McCormick:
Roth candidates favor local op
tion, and knowing both, we have no
doubt that either of them would
approve a local option bill If the
legislature passes such a measure.
No man tit to bo Governor of Penn
sylvania, or likely to be elected
Governor, would decline to approve
such a law if passed by the Legis
lature. * * *
Loi-al option is not a political
question; but those who favor or
oppose it as the best solution of
the liquor question ought to ascer
tain the views of the candidates
for the Legislature, so that they
may vote for the men who represent
their views in that direction. It
will be the members of the Legis
lature, and not the next Governor,
who will settle the question of local
option.
Urging McCormick, whom it is sup
porting, to "turn his back upon the
opportunists who think the local op
tion question is of paramount import
ance in this campaign," the Record,
as the mouthpiece of Democracy, calls
attention to President Wilson's letter
as to his attitude on local option when
he was running as a candidate for
Governor of New Jersey. In that let
ter he said:
I am in favo- of local option. I
am a thorough believer in local self
government and believe that every
self-governing communitv which
constitutes a social unit should
have the right to control the mat
ter of the regulation or of the with
holding of licenses.
But the questions involved are
social ami moral and are not sus
ceptible of being made parts of a
party program. Whenever they
have been made the subject matter
of party contests they have cut the
lines of party organization and
party action athwart to the utter
confusion of political action in
every other field. They have
thrown every other question, how
ever important-, into the back
ground and have made constructive
party action impossible for long
years together. So far as lam con
cerned, therefore, I can never con
sent to have the question of local
option made an isue between po
litical parties in this State. My
judgment is very clear In this mat
ter. I do not believe that party
programs of the highest conse
quence to the political life of the
State and of the nation ought to be
thrust on one side and hopelessly
embarrassed for long periods to
gether by making a political issue
of a great question which is essen
tially nonpolitieal, nonpartisan,
moral and social in its nature.
This view of the President reads
now like a sharp criticism of those
ambitious persons who are endeavor
ing in Pennsylvania to bolster up a
losing partisan cause by endorsing a
fusion candidate for Governor who
has been no more outspoken for local
option than his Republican opponent.
The real friends of the proposition are
quite likely to turn their backs upon
McCormick for his efforts to drag the
issue Into a partisan conflict.
Every Democrat and Republican who
believes that the prosperity of the
United States depends upon a protec
tive tariff should see to it that they
are registered on *he last day for regis
tration—next Saturday—so that they
may help to bring about an end of the
present uncertainty.
THE NEW TAX
OWNERS of small cigar stands
and stores—all dealers, In fact,
no matter how insignificant
their business —find that they
come under the provisions of the
new Democratic tax law. Many of
them are indignant. They say tkat
they are doing business on a ridicu
lously low margin now and that they
cannot afford to pay both the higher
prices demanded for their wares and
an additional tax ns well. But they
must, or close up shop.
The new tax, however, comes even
nearer home. For every gallon of
gasoline the housekeeper who cooks
on a gasoline stove uses In her kitchen
she must pay two cents over and above
the price. From 10 to 20 per cent. Is
added to the cost of every gallon of
gasoline the farmer uses In his en
gine and the motorist in his automo
bile.
It is a strange tact that, while by its
suit against the Standard Oil Com
pany the government recently brought
down the price of gasoline, this same
government is now at work adding
taxes to make up what the people are
saving in reduced purchase cost.
["EVENING CHAT I
Dr. John Price Jackson. State Com
missioner of Labor and Industry, who
has ,lust returned from Germany,
where he spent several weeks, savs
that what impressed him in his line
was the manner in which the Ger
mans guard against accidents in their
industrial establishments and the wav
the women jump on and off street
cars. The commissioner Is an advo
cate of safety first, but says the Ger
man women have no fear of a street
car and Jump on and off cars while
they are moving at a fair rate of
speed. •'] saw women jump on and
off when the cars were going at a rate
that would make some men think
twice in this country," said he. The
cars have no doors and the women
get on and off just like men. They
a ways use the right hand, too, and I
did not see anyone hurt." Dr. Jack
son planned to make an extensive
study of German industrial safetv,
but the war caught him in Dresden
and interfered with his observations.
He was in Rerlin for three weeks and
w'as impressed with the preparedness
of the German mobilization, calling
out of men, requisitioning of horses
and vehicles and the smoothness with
which everything moved. In speaking
about the war Dr. Jackson said that
It was not wanted by the Industrial
passes, but by the military caste.
That s what comes of having a large
number of men trained in warfare,
trained to military work. Thev get
obsessed with it and think that be
cause they can defeat another nation
they are superior. Too much military
training Is a had thing," said he. "I
think that the English now realize
that they have a tremendous task be
fore them. I was there when par
liament began to ask for half a mil
lion men and the gravity of the sit
uation caused a big change In senti
ment. making the people see what
war meant."
For a brief moment or two the
other morning Recorder O. G. Wick
ersham figured that he was Just $5
ahead of the game—and he couldn't
understand it at all. In the first
place it seemed too good to be true;
secondly, he wasn't wearing a last
years suit or top coat (anyway he
doesn t believe in allowing a $5 bill
to lie around loose in old clothes):
finally he couldn't recollect what bill
of that exact amount he owed. Here's
the story: In his mall he got one of
his self-addressed envelopes of the
kind that is always issued to those
who take out marriage certificates. In
it was a filled-out return blank of the
marriage certificate that had been
Issued a day or two before—a five
dollar bill. The telephone helped
solve the puzzle, however. Air. Wick
ershani called the officiating minister
and he learned the answer, alas! that
he wasn't in $5 after alt. The bashful
groom at the ceremony in question
got really fussed when the time ar
rived to hand the minister the fee and
he unthinkingly slipped it into the en
velope that had been given him at the
marriage license bureau. And the
minister absently pnsted up the flap
and mailed return blank and the five.
Automobiletourists who passthrough
the city after coming over the moun
tains or along the Sputh Mountain
and Harrisburgers who have been out
for rides bring the news that the
chestnut trees are laden with nuts and
that an immense crop can be looked
tor. In some sections the burrs have
commenced to open, but it will take a
good, hard frost before the bulk of
them are ready. Some of the specially
cultivated nuts are reported as hav
ing reached large size.
< apitol Park benches have again
become the gathering ground for
nurses and their little charges, the
autumn temperature having brought
many Harrisburg families home from
the seashore and mountains. Be
tween 10 and 2 o'clock the park is a
popular place and the youngsters have
tine times chasing each other and the
squirrels over the grass. The Mexican
monument, which was the favorite
place years ago when it stood near
the library site, is once more the
center of attraction.
"Onkle Helnrich" Houck, the vet
eran Secretary of Internal Affairs. Is
having a lot of fun with Dr. Brum
baugh on the stump this vear. For
years Dr. Houck has prided himself
upon his former pupils, insisting that
they were in every county, and occa
sionally having a joke by picking out
a man older than himself and telling
how he used to teach him to spell.
However, Dr. Brumbaugh has been
around the state some and lie know*s
the former pupils of Dr. Houck pretty
well. One day they ran across a man
who was somewhat of a wit in his
own line and both jocularly claimed
him as a former pupil. The man
smiled and said: "You're both wrong.
1 went to school to Frank McClain."
Schools are commencing to take
trips to enjoy the glories of autumn
on the First Mountain and Saturday
excursions into the woods will soon be
In order again. As a matter of fact,
there were more trips taken to the
mountains by city schools last spring
than known for a long time before
the days of trolley cars and auto
mobiles. Now the trips have recom
menced and every week end there are
people piloting crowds of little people
up to see the changing leaves and the
way nature prepares for winter.

MORRIS FUSION IS
ALL ON ONE SIDE
The Ball Moosers Hare Been Given
Only Seven Very Uncertain
District Nominations
THE CHOICEST GOLD BRICK
Democratic Retreat in the Second
Dauphin Approved; Whisper
ing Rooms in Demand
When the ringmasters of the Demo
cratic State committee adjourned their
council late yesterday afternoon it was
found that the scheme to make the
Bull Moose in Pennsylvania jump
through a hoop for the sole benefit of
Vance C. McCormick had worked out
to a charm. The Washington party
withdrew its candidate for Governor
and put on McCormick and got noth
ing in return. And tbe widely adver
tised plan of Democratic State Chair
man Roland S. Morris for State-wide
fusion on congressional, senatorial and
legislative nominations had resulted in
the Washington party being given ex
actly seven places vacated by Demo
crats who were afraid they could not
make the Jump in this troubled year.
There were a good many quiet
smiles inside the Democratic State
windmill last night over the way the
Bull Moose had been taken in, but
some of the Bull Moosers outside were
giggling as they thought what was
going to happen wben the remnant of
the party that clings to the name
finds out the gold brick that has been
parsed out and studies the returns
from New York, where the Bull Moose
has become as emaciated as in New
Jersey.
When the State executive committee
adjourned it was seen that the Wash
ington party had become a. part of
the Democratic State machine and
that William Flinn will be succeeded
as "angel" by McCormick.
State Chairman Crow before leaving
Pittsburgh last night said of the two
days' work in Allegheny county:
"We find condidtions
in the western coun-
ties in excellent shape. Crow Says
All factions of the the Outlook
party are united for Is Splendid
November. In Pitts
burgh and Allegheny
and in the surrounding counties the
different chairmen and workers are
active, hustling and giving fine ac
counts of their districts. We have
an organization at work in every vot
ing district in Western Pennsylvania,
and everywhere I find confidence in
victory. The western end of the State
will be In line with an old-time Re
publican majority in November."
The time for filing nomination pa
pers at the Capitol expired last night
and a bale was entered by George W.
Allen, of Allen & Coll,
Pittsburgh, for various
Personal candidates on the Per-
Liberty sonal Liberty party ticket.
Nominees The whole Republican
State ticket was taken up.
together with a number
of Democratic candidates for various
offices, among them Arthur G. Dewalt,
Democratic candidate for Congress in
the Berks-Lehigh district; Sassaman
and Shanaman. Democratic legislative
candidates in Reading; Ira T. Erd
man. Democratic legislative candidate
in Allentown. and Democratic legis
lative candidates Geiser, Benninger
and Trach, in Northampton county.
One of the- funniest things about the
Democratic State windmill is the ob
sessed state of the officials. They are as
full of their campaign
as is McCormlck him
self. In years gone by. Whispering
after the present Rooms Now
Democratic mach in e Freely I'setl
got into power "Uncle
George" Guthrie made
it a point of having every meeting
with the doors wide open. He said
that the people were interested and
that there was nothing to conceal.
Newspapermen used to be invited to
sit through meetings. Now all is
changed, the McCormlck-Morrls style
of doing business with doors locked,
blinds drawn and voices lowered is in
vogue. The meetings are held behind
the doors of a suite of offices on the
fourth floor, which no one not having
the pass word or a golden key is per
mitted to approach and which are
now known as the whispering rooms.
People on Capitol Hill are of the
opinion that there will be a test in
court of t'ne right to use the name of
the Nonpartisan party at the coming
election because of its similarity to the
nonpartisan ballot in name and the
possibility of it confusing voters. The
name of the Nonpartisan party was
used to file nominations for Congress
man M. Clyde Kelley and some legis
lative candidates In Allegheny and
Philadelphia counties. The name has
been pre-empted by some people in
other counties.
The Democratic State committee
yesterday afternoon put the seal of
its approval on the surrender to the
Bull Moosers in the Second Legisla
tive district and for the first time in
many years the Democrats of that
portion of Dauphin county are de
prived of the opportunity to vote for
men of their own political faith for
the Legislature. The substitutions of
Lenlter and Martin for Hurry Back
ward Sasaaman and Don't Wantlt
Shaffner will be filed In a few days
and then the county Democrats will
vote for Nlssley and Young.

And think like da mischief to dop out

1 EDITORIAL COMMENT!
When the President's New Jersey
friends asked whether they might In
dorse him for renomination, he had a
splendid opportunity to state his po
sition. He did not let the occasion
slip. Through his secretary he has
thanked his friends and told them
that an indorsement at this time
might embarrass him. But he does not
say that he is not a candidate. He
lets the matter rest as it is and his
secretary's reply is given to the press.
Tt may now he taken for granted that
he expects to succeed himself. —Public
Ledger.
Gifford Pinchot pretends to be
greatly distressed over the misfor
tunes and the woes of Pennsylvania.
Let him go hack to his recent stamp
ing ground and undertake the work
of reformation. Pennsylvania doesn't
need his sympathy and will show him
on election day just what she thinks
of him.—Altoona Tribune.
UI.AIR COUNTY'S VOTE
TFrom the Altoon Tribune.]
Now that the great Republican mass
meeting Is a historic fact the Tribune
realizes that it will not feel that Blair
county has done its full duty unless
Dr. Brumbaugh secures a majority of
not less than 5,000 over his nearest
competitor. Six thousand seems more
likely. Seldom has there been a time
in the history of this country when
sentiment In favor of the Republican
party and Its standard-bearers was
stronger than it is at the present mo
ment. Everywhere one goes he dis
covers earnest and enthusiastic Repub
licans. The Democratic record during
the last eighteen months has aroused
the voters to the consciousness that
Democratic authorlt" in the ulte
House and In Congress is a hitter thing
or the industries of Pennsylvania. The
worklngman«and the professional man,
the merchant and the farmer, all have
~lt the pinch of Democratic times.
They are feeling it now.
Ol'R NEW BABY
(Girard in Public Ledger)
Harrisburg has a new baby. It is a
big and lusty infant and I learn from
State Librarian Thomas L. Montgom
ery, who has helped rock the cradle,
that it will surely be a credit to its
mother.
The maternal parent, or as the col
lege boys prefer, alma mater, is the
University of Pennsylvania, and the
child is the new Wharton School class.
This is no cheap or ordinary night
school, but a genuine class of the Uni
versity located in Harrisburg. It num
bers 115 students, which is why I
referred to the new baby as a robust
child.
The course of study and the lectur
ers are direct from Penn. This Har
risburg class is only one of the Uni
versity's notable extension products
and the State capital graduates of
Pennsylvania have been rooting for it
like a bunch of undergraduates cheer
ing for another touchdown.
If you can't go to college, the col
lege will go to you. that's the idea.

Progress of the Colored Race
To the Editor of the Telegraph
I don't think the personal reference
was earned even though thirty years
of public life was honestly given to
inspiring and training the youth of
my people. Such praise usually is
given to those who have passed be
yond. Whatever I could do to help
was cheerfully done and so long as I
shall live my only aim shall be to help
our youths to find the place where
they can enjoy a wider vision. I thank
you, of course.
Your grand editorial gives publicity
to facts that all who will see. may
discover. You covered the country
and showed what fifty years of free
dom meant in character, in education
and in achievements to the freedmen.
For your kind reference to our de
velopment you have the full gratitude
of a rising people. Your editorial also
shows that you are perfectly familiar
with the fact that locally we have
kept pace with the 10.000.000 of our
people who are proving their right
to unrestricted American citizenship.
To one who has helped us as you
have and who is as familiar as you
are with our progress it is pleasant
for me to repeat the following evi
dence of progress to be noted ir Har
risburg where the following can be
seen by those willing to look:
Six successful physicians. 2 well
conducted drug stores. 1 dentist, 1 un
dertaker. 3 contractors. 3 real estate
agents, half-dozen life insurance
agents, representing two colored in
surance companies, 2 newspapers,
each of which operates a successful
job printing department, 1 plumber,
3 painters, 3 upholsterers, 2 lawyers,
5 policemen, 2 letter carriers, 14 pub
lic school teachers teaching, and in
spiring over 500 children. 15 clergy
men, 2 blacksmiths, 1 wagonmaker, 2
trained nurses, 1 proprietor of an au
tomobile garage where all repairs are
made and where a school for chauf
feurs is conducted. 1 laundry, 3 hotels,
2 stores where ladles' top and under
clothing are specialties, 2 grocery
stores. 6 restaurants, 1 confectionery,
practically all the waiters under col
ored headwaiters, 3 tailors, 1 iceman,
half-dozen clerks and stenographers,
chiropodists, chauffeurs, music teach
ers, dressmakers, manicurists without
number, etc., etc., to say nothing of

That is, he will inquire how it is your meals are so
good and so prompt if you install an All-Gas Kitchen
—not otherwise.
Don't let yourself believe that your husband is
not interested in the kitchen as well as in the other
rooms. You can easily make him take a new inter
est in you by having the meals promptly and prop
erly cooked and a continuous supply of good whole
some hot water with an All-Gas Kitchen.
Come to the gas office and see the many types of
Cabinet Gas Ranges you may buy from $24.(H)
up or smaller ranges from $16.0() up, or ask us
to send a representative.

over a dozen filling; places of honor
and trust at the State Capitol. This
partial list given from memory, to
which must he added three authors
who have written and published hooks,
will indicate that If you and others
with souls as hroad shall continue to
help and to praise the day is not
distant when all America will realize
what wonderful things we have done
In less than fifty years.
What saving funds and the tax list
might show has not been hinted at.
Better than all. the home life and the
culture tell a tale of progress beyond
the fondest dream of even our best
friends.
May T thank you for another evi
dence of friendship? You. sir. have
done us so much good. May we al
ways deserve your confidence and
your commendation.
