JOHNSON, president of j the Baldwin Locomotive Works, j and one of the best posted men In the United States on Indus- j trial conditions and economic prob- 1 lems. told the members of the Cham- | ber of Commerce last evening that the } new tariff law and the hostility of the ; Interstate Commerce Commission to i the railroads and the unfriendly attl- j tude of the administration to business ; activities in general are responsible to a very large degree for the hard times the country has been experi- j enclng for the past two years. Mr. Johnson's speech was in no sense po- i litical. He was speaking purely as a j business man. one. he said, who had j accepted the Underwood tariff in good 1 faith and had tried to give it a fair , trial. The speaker did not once men tion the name of a political party, nor j did he condemn the actions of any j man or set of men. But his deductions were so clear that not a man in the audience could escape the conviction i that the broken promises of the Wil son administration have been prime causes of the current business depres- i sion. The Baltimore platform recognized "that our system of tariff taxation is intimately connected with the business of the country" and favored "the ulti mate attainment of the principles we advocate by legislation that will not Injure or destroy legitimate Industry." The framers of the Underwood bill absolutely ignored the efforts of business men to prove that the pro posed schedules would do precisely what the Democratic party promised not to do. It threatened to arrest some complainants as "insidious lob byists" and St brutally told othecs that while there was no doubt their indus tries would be placed under a handi cap by the new law, the men engaged In them should have little difficulty in finding other occupations. This is the record of the promises and performances of the Democrats at Washington. Business men cannot longer tolerate such insolent contempt for pledges and such reckless assaults upon every form of industry as have characterized President Wilson's ad ministration. It Is not surprising that many honest and sincere men, Including preachers and others, are beginning to voice their protests against the effort to drag re ligious denominations and temperance organizations Into the field of partisan politics. Perhaps the worst offenders in this respect are certain bosses of the Anti-Saloon League. This association was built upon a nonpartisan platform and notwithstanding the fact that thousands of supporters of the local option movement are aiding the cam paign of Dr. Brumbaugh, the Republi can candidate for Governor, these same indiscreet and thoughtless leaders are striving to round u« the temperance folk for his Democratic rival. We very much fear that the local option cause is seriously menaced by the unfair tac tics of thoughtless men. TAXING LIFE INSURANCE NOT satisfied with taxing about eventhing else in sight the Democratic administration now proposes for the second time within a year to place a tax amounting to more than $2,000,000 upon the life insurance policies held in this coun try. Strong protests are being made to the tax gatherers at Washington and the insurance men are pointing out that no foreign government In the seat of war has gone to this extreme of taxation. It is bad enough to increase the burdens of the people In the United States by the imposition of a war tax in time of peace, but the proposition to make life insurance an even greater burden for those who are struggling to provide for the support of their families is indefensible. America's workers will have their heavy share to contribute to the waste of war without the government increasing the cost of life insurance. The president of the Equitable Life Assurance Society pleads with the framers of the proposed tax bill not t to think or penalizing working people - • —>- •.« j __ v '■.

Isn't It about time for the McCormlck shouters to have an endorsement from the Boy Scouts? They have endeavored to capture In one or another about all the other orgat.izatlons and societies •o that it would seem to be entirely j consistent for them to invoke the aid of the Boy Scouts. These manly little fellows, however, may not be so easily . taken into camp as some of their j ! elders, who have figured as the : gudgeons of a grasping political ma- , j chine. I A FUSION FAILURE MANIFESTLY the effort of th*| Democratic machine to take over the Progressive party was j foredoomed to failure. There ; is no point of contact between the two j organizations. Even the influential j Philadelphia Record, the mouthpiece I of the Democrats of Pennsylvania, is i out of patience with the Flinn-MeCor mick fusion deal. It calls attention to what It terms the "ranting of the { Progressives" against the President's | \ policies and concludes: It shows how absurd it would be for the Democrats and the Progres sives to fuse. The Progressives are giving no support to the Adminis tration. On the contrary, they are nagging at it and abusing It constantly. With few exceptions i they are just as rabid Protectlon ! ists as the Republicans are, and apart from the tariff a coalition of Democrats and Republicans against the Progressives would be at least as logical and sensible as a combi nation of Democrats and Progres sives against the Republicans. The very fact that the Democrats and the Progressives aim at many of the same things explains the bitter ness of Progressives toward the 1 Democrats. This is pretty hot shot from the most forceful of the Democratic news papers of the State and will not serve 1 to Increase the love of the protesting Washington party men against the i I outrageous deal of the bosses of the j j two parties. Further along the Rec- i ] ord says: Of course, the Democrats do not I i go so far as the Progressives, for j i they do not go beyond what Is safe I and sane, and the Progressives are i deeply Imbued with the Impracti- I cable notions of the Populists, and some of them are not free from Socialism. But all the reforms that ' are practicable, and in the Interest ! of all classes of the community, are being effected by the Democrats, and Progressives recognize that the | wind is taken out of their sails— I that as a third party they have no reason for existence —and their 1 hatred of the Democrats Is propor tionately great. They know, as well as anybody else, that the President has not yielded a point to the corporation i and financial interests, and prob- , ably they know that their own wild notions, if reduced to the form of statutes, would destroy business. The Democratic success Is remov ing all reason for the existence of the Progressive party, and enough i of the Progressives have relapsed into the G. O. P. to destroy any I chances the Progressives can have Imagined that they had of carrying the country, and therefore they rage at Woodrow Wilson and im ! aglne vain things. It must be said for the Record that it is entirely frank in its statement of the alleged conditions. It has been j | consistently against the fusion dicker I and the collapse of the Washington party, following the Flinn-McCormick intrigue, has justified the predictions of those Democrats who realize how impossible such a proposed fusion was under the circumstances. It is for this reason that Colonel Roosevelt, adept as he is in political ground and lofty tumbling, has found it extremely difficult to support Pinehot and Mc- Cormlck in the same breath. PAGEANT AND CARNIVAL EVERY Harrisburger will join In commending the resolution pass ed by the Chamber of Commerce last evening for the appointment of a general committee to arrange for a historical pageant and water carni val next summer to celebrate the com pletion of the public improvement campaign that will be brought to a highly successful conclusion with the finishing of the river wall and dam and the beauttficatlon of the river bank. It was highly fitting that this reso lution should have been presented by William Jennings, former councilman and member of the Board of Public Works, since It was Mr. Jennings who introduced in Common Council the prelimihary legislation leading up to the placing of the first municipal loan before the people. Ever since Mr. Jennings has been prominent in the promotion and direction of the work that has made this one of the most talked of cities in the nation. Harrisburg is rich in historical in terest. Through this place has flow ed constantly since the very earliest days the traffic between the East and the West. The first settlers followed the old Indian trail that crossed the river at what later became Harris' Ferry. Then came the long lines of Conestoga wagons that trafficked be tween Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, with their loads of precious freight and the stage coaches with their pas sengers. many of thera distinguished personages of the nation and the world at large. Here was the scene of the attempted burning of John Harris and hither came Lafayette, Washington, and Lincoln to pause and address the people assembled from all the country roundabout. Here, too, was old Camp Curtin, and in later days nearby Camp Meade. Just across the river the high tide of rebellion rolled up its farthest wave at Oyster's Point and then began to ebb. Harrisburg, as a central point In the great system of inter-state transporta tion, has seen the packhorse succeeded by the wagon, the wagon by the canal and the canal by the railroad. It has been the very hub of these transporta tion developments in the East, and, as the seat of State government, it has witnessed every important move in the long march of progress that has made the Keystone State one of the most advanced in the union. Out of this wealth of Incident at our command can be organized such a varied, picturesque and educational pageant as the State has never seen. The Chamber of Commerce has un dertaken a very excellent piece of work and deserves the hearty co-op eration of the public, which it will no doubt receive. VENING CHAT Twenty-nine years ago the last State firemen's convention to be held in Harrlabtfrg began its business sessions at the State Capitol. Harrlsburg was then in the midst of the celebration of the centennial of the erection of Dauphin county and the laving out of the town that grew from Harris Ferrv Into Harrlsburg, the capital of Penn i.V a . nin " Qu,to " few the m en who will be active in the convention's ses sions this week sat in the convention of 1885 and recall the manner In which the firemen joined in making their part of the week a great occa sion. The parade was one of the series during the week and attracted wide attention, being the largest of the kind ever held in the State up to that time. Harrisburg being a cen tral point, attracted many companies to the city for the demonstration, and It was lone remembered. The parade contained almost fifty companies and the very last word in tire apparatus was shown, incidentally, it might bo remarked that the parade was held on Thursday, as has been done by the firemen at each State convention. There will be one fireman in the great parade this week who will oc- C «PV the san.o position he held in the big display on the occasion of the Dauphin county centennial celebration and meeting of the State Firemen's Association on September 17. 1885. h " r,cs P- Meek, president of the Citizen Fire Company, No. 3, will bo marshal of the third division, consist ing of the Citizen company and its guests. In 1885 President Meek mar shaled the company and its visitors, the division having half a dozen good companies. Including the famous Sarah Zane. of Winchester, Va.: the Wash ington. of Coatesville; the Montgom ery. of Xorristown. and the Washing ton, of Conshohocken. This year the Citizen will entertain fourteen organ izations. three of which will march at the head of the main column of the procession—the Keystone Fire Chiefs, a State organization and the Vigilant ana Good Will companies, of York. Two old hand engines will be in the Citizen division—one built In 1780 brought by the Reading Veteran Flre men's Association, and the other, made in 1796, by the Hummelstown Chem ical Company. It is an interesting coincidence that George Graybill, of York, was elected president of the association here. The present head is also a York man Mr Graybill served the next year and made many friends among the Harris burg people interested in Are com panies. The first president of the association was also well known here. He was H. A. Derr. of Reading, who was elected in 1881. Two Harris burgers. the late A. T. Black and E. Levi Tittle, both members of the Hope I-ire Company, have been president of the State association. Gilbert Greenburg, of Reading, who lived here for a time, was 'so a president, serv ing in 1889, or the year before Mr. Black. Two Harrisburgers are also life members. They are Citv Commis sioner William H.- Lynch, long presi dent of the Friendship, and Frank R. Bosch. The late Governor Daniel H. Hastings was one of the first honorarv members of the association, this being a distinction rarely conferred. People who see the decorations along: the streets to-day will recall with interest those of ISBS. In that year each Are company tried to outdo the others in elaborateness of deco rations and the arches erected in front of flrehouses or near by attracted much attention. There were no elec trlcal decorations in those days, but gas lights were employed without re gard to expense and as the weather remained good there were some excel lent efTects. The Friendship Fire Com pany had some fountains in connec tion with its display and the Citizen had and arch at Fourth and Walnut with a fireman in uniform on top. It had a very elaborate gas lighting plan. The Good Will had a verv handsome arch. It was the only en gine company up town in those "days, so the people of the growing West End came to its aid In stvle The Reily had Just started that "year, but made a display. | Among the firemen registered to- I da > was C. A. Wilhelm, the veteran [ Democrat, who registered as a mem ber of Independent Fire Company No. 39. of Philadelphia. It was one | of the companies that existed before ; the establishment of the paid fire de partment in 1871 and was noted for the speed with which it could get to a fire. It had a big piece of apparatus and hustled It about Philadelphia at racing: speed. Most of the members of this old company have passed away and Mr. Wilhelm is one of the few survivors. hen the last State firemen's con vention was held here Harrisburg had ten companies, the Reilv Hose having been formed about two months before the convention met in the hall of the House of Representatives. The Sus quehanna was another new company, having been organized a short time before. Both took part In the parade Steelton. which now has six com panies. had but one In those days, : the Citizen, and the members marched from the borough. There were no fire companies on the West Shore and Middletown and Mechanicsburg had less than they have now, I WELL KNOWN PEOPLE"I —George S.

PRESIDENTIAL CONTENDERS [Washington Post.] Withdrawal of the Progressive party's candidate for Governor In Pennsylvania and the indorsement of the Democratic candidate herald the complete collapse of the third party movement in the Keystone State. it is not unlikely, however, that the elections in November will produce contenders for the presidential nomi nation on the Republican ticket, and if the great plurality of 177,000 scor ed by Colonel Roosevelt over the Re publican candidate In 1912 is wiped out altogether this year in Pennsyl vania, Dr. Brumbaugh will doubtless be among the Republican presidential possibilities. The overwhelming character of Re publican victories In Pennsylvania prior to 1912 had always removed the State from consideration when presi dential candidates were selected, but since 1912 It has been part of the doubtful territory. For this reason Dr. Brumbaugh's candidacy has taken on a significance broader than a mere | State fight. BIG REGISTRfITIOiy i PAINS DEMOCRATS But They Are Whistling to Keep Up Their Courage in the Face of the Disaster REPUBLICANS ARE REJOICING Getting Expensive to Run a Cam paign Here; Democrats to Parade in a Short Time Some mighty sirenuous whistling is being done by the folks around the Democratic State windmill and its newspaper annex to keep tip courage in the face of the tremendous Repub lican registration in every city in the Commonwealth and claims and claims about how gratifying the registration is to the Democrats are being issued. It is true the Progressives, who ap pear to have been lost in the shuttle, are not saving much, but that only increases the Democratic task. The men around the machine shop in Market Square are keenly dis appointed at the failure of more than 24.000 Democrats in Philadelphia to register in view of the fact that Wil son and Marshall had 66.000 votes in that city and the terrific slump in the Democratic and Washington regis tration in Pittsburgh has also made the gangsters blue. Lebanon city, which has been hard hit by the Palmer metal schedule, is a fair indication of the way registrations go in the State. It registered 3,570 persons, of whom 2,032 are Repub licans. 921 Democrats and 270 Wash ington. It is nonsensical for Democratic pa pers to say that Republicans who In tend to vote the Democratic ticket are registering as Republicans so that they will not be bothered. Some of the money which might have bean expended on the trip of the Central Democratic Club to the wake at the home of Con gressman A. Mitchell j Palmer, but which was Democrats finally figured out to Parade should be used at This .Month home. Is to be burned up by the Democratic machine this month in a parade. It is the idea to have the Central Demo cratic Club appear with its new high hats as escort to the various branches of the Palmer-McCormick League. An effort will be made to have Cumber land county make a display and Perry county will send at least one dozen men. The leagues organized at vari ous post offices and cross roads by Scott Rubendall before the money gave out will have banners, at least. A Philadelphia dispatch on politics says of fusion: "Men regardless of party affiliation, boldly assert that the Washington party went out with, the retirement Expensive of Dean Lewis. The one Days For sentiment seems to pre- Camlidatcs vail that a party which is not big enough to have its own candidate for Governor is no longer a real party. For instance, the Philadelphia Bulletin, noted for its fairness and lack of bias, said: "It was a day of confessions at Harrisburg. Dr. Lewis confessed that his candidacy was hope less. Mr. McCormick confessed that his party alone could not accomplish its purpose in the overturn of the State. Mr. Plinn confessed that ninety per cent, of the business corporations —the industries that afford labor and pay wages to the working population —were supporting the Republican ticket. In view of such admissions from such eminent authority, the dicker in candidacies which has been negotiated, whatever its terms, need cause little worry to the Republican nominees who stand four square on the principles and policies with which tho prosperity of Pennsylvania has been linked. Inasmuch as Plinn will no longer put up for the Washington party it looks very much as if the so called fusion deal was made in order to shake down McCormick. Por be it known that the Washington party leaders are an expenshe bunch." Philadelphia people are laughing at the manner in which the friends of Vance C. McCormick have attempted to corral the inde dendent Republ lean vote and the Dimmick Scheme to strength by for m i n g Pool Men the Independent Re- Is Broken publican League. This organization has a headquarters staff and an office large enough for two desks and. two people in the Kunkel building. When the man in charge is not at the Kunkel building he is some times to be found at the Democratic State windmill. The demunds for names of the men on the committee and other information have been met by evasions. Out in Pittsburgh the scheme went to smash. The Pitts burgh Dispatch says: "The effort to organize an 'Anti- Penrose Republican League' in Alle gheny county seems to have fallen through. When a similar organiza tion was horn in Philadelphia several weeks ago, announcement was made that immediately organizations would be formed in Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, Scranton, Erie and in other populous centers. The Philadelphia, or parent organization, selected its general offi cers from the State at large and ne gotiations looking to the establish ment of a committee here were under taken." POLITICAL SIDELIGHTS —The frost appears to have been severe in Altoona last night. —The registration figures are the saddest news yet for the Democratic gangsters. —The alliance with the Bull Moos ers does not appear to have been worth the fuss it kicked up among the Democrats. —McCormick is thinking that per haps he should have been a little cour teous to. Ryan before he got into deep water. —Considering the fact that the Panama stuff was all ventilated by the North American some months ago. it would appear that a certain hard pressed candidate is employing used goods. —The Patriot says one Little gave inside "stuff." It certainly was "stuff" and mighty poor Junk at that. —Little is the man who supports Palmer and McCormick and makes appeals for charity for Philadelphia's unemployed when at home. —Dlmmlck does not intend to be used as a catspaw by Flinn. —Some Progressives started a meet ing at Hummelstown last night, hut before they got very far they were talking to themselves. —They are now estimating on a majority for Rrumhaugh in Philadel phia of 87,000. Another spasm is due In Market Square. —McCormick is speaking In Lan caster county to-day. He might as well skip that. —Montgomery has formed a Brum baugh committee.

Illtt MBAl'tiH Pl' 1,1, OK ELO UI'KNCE LFrom the Philadelphia Public ledger.) Colonel Roosevelt came to Philadel phia presumably to aid Vance McOor mick in his campaign for Governor. But the ex-President Could find not one single word to say why I>r. Brumbaugh should not be elected. Colonel Roose velt's silence in regard to Doctor Brum baugh was far more eloquent than any thing he did say concerning any other candidate. Whatever else may he said of the ex- President, he certainly knows the value of men and of service. He re members that when the United States to 5k Porto Rico from Spain, and our country searched for a man to Inaugu rate a modern school system upon that Island, It was this same Doctor Brum baugh who was chosen. The ex-President was officially aware that the record achieved by Doc tor Brumbaugh at Porto Rico is one of the most notr.ble of any colonial work ever I erformed by an American. It was a responsible task ably perform ed. which merited and received the unanimous endorsement of our country and th'< Colonel's heartiest approval. Doctor Brumbaugh's administrative labors for the Philadelphia and Penn sylvania schools are.of the very highest • oider. Knowing these facts. Colonel | Roosevelt's silence on Doctor Brum- I baugh Is a most eloquent tribute to a I public servant who, whenever called to ;an important task, has done his full I duty. A political trade compelled Colonel Roosevelt to support the Democratic candidate for Governor, but not even the exigencies of such a doubtful cam paign could wring from him a syllable of condemnation, reproach or objection to Doctor Brumbaugh. In this instance. Rooseveltian silence is far more significant and effective than any other endorsement he might contribute. A lIORRIIII.K MESS AND A PROVERB TFrom the New York Sun.l The classic text of the Republicans In Congress in their sermons on the failure of the Democrats to keep their platform vows of econ-~ Is the Hon. J. J. Pitzgerald's confession in April: "In a few months I shall be j called upon, in the discharge of my I official duties, to review the record that the Democratic House shall have made in Its discharge of the expenditures of the public money. Whenever I think of the horrible mess I shall be called upon to pre sent to the country in behalf of the Democratic party I am tempted to quit m.v place." It is no fault of Mr. Fitzgerald that he is now in this "horrible mess." He has tried to restrain the fury of his party to spend instead of saving. As a result of that fury the appropriations for 1915. leaving out the river and harbor bill, which was shorn of Its preposterous extravagances only by the tenacity of a Republican Senator, are a hundred millions in excess of those in 1913. the last year of "Republi can extravagance." As for the "abo lition of useless offices" hear Senator Reed Smoot. of Utah: "When the administration came into power there were 3.183 em ployed In the Treasury Department at Washington. Instead of reduc ing the number, this administra tion increased it to 3,541. This ad ministration found a field force under the Secretary of the Treas ury of 1.407 persons, mostly civil service employes. A Democratic Congress removed these positions from the classified service, destroy ed the merit system in the field force to make place for Democratic spoilsmen and increased that field force 2,085 persons. Instead of a reduction, as promised, we find that in a single year there is an increase of 1,036 officers and agents in a single department of the Govern ment. Democratic economy In this instance alone cost the taxpayers $1,750,000 annually. "You absolutelv failed to reduce the number of officials, but. on the contrary, you Increased them all along the line."

They say they want well-educated men. and I suppose It is a bid for the vote of these college men in deciding the campaign. Could we have a more educated man as our candidate than the one who is run ning on the Republican ticket? "Could we have a broader man than Brumbaugh? Don't you think he is an educated man and a man of the highest type of education which can I be produced by this Commonwealth ?
