üBRrMBAUGH AND TEMPERANCE
UNFAIR, as usual when his own
interests are involved, and with
characteristic disregard for the
truth, the Democratic candi-
I date for Governor is going up and
| down the State telling the people that
! Dr. Brumbaugh is not sincere in his
| local option declarations. Yesterday,
1 at Shippensburg, Dr. Brumbaugh de
fended his temperance record in the
'following language:
■ When, in 1888, there was pend
ing in this State an amendment to
the Constitution prohibitir~ the
sale of liquor in Pennsylvania, I
was the secretary of the anti
saloon group in my home county,
and Mr. Simpson, of Huntingdon,
who was the president, with my
self went over the county, stumped
It and carried it by 705 majority for
the white map of Pennsylvania.
There are men in this room who
voted with me on that occasion be
cause they believed as I did on
that proposition. Why. those who
charge differently are character as
sassins and defamers of men's good
names, who would try to make you
believe that I am not square on
that proposition. I defy them ail
and appeal to you men of Pennsyl
vania whether any man anywhere
in this State has a record or has
made a declaration more plain and
positive than my own on that ques
tion.
Where was McCormick, with his
recently discovered local option views,
when Brumbaugh was stumping the
State for prohibition? Has McCor
mick ever sacrificed his own time and
: comfort—except in the present cam
paign. to gratify his own selfish am
bitions —In the cause of temperance?
Without a thought other than for
•what he sincerely believed was for
the good of all the people, Dr. Brum
baugh campaigned In years past for
temperance even as he is now cam
paigning for his own election. His
record is clear and his position un
mistakably in favor of local option.
It Is not merely a campaign argument
•with him, hut a firm conviction for
which he was willing to stand in years
when anti-liquor sentiment was not
bo popular as It Is to-day. The voter
will recognize in Dr. Brumbaugh a
candidate who began his fight for
temperance years ago and in McCor
mick a nominee who has adopted the
local option war cry as a means of
getting votes for himself.
A decrease in September tonnage of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Is probably
an Indication of prosperity as inter
preted by the Democratic bosses of this
State.
If any of our readers happen to think
of any particular thing that might be
taxed that has not already been taxed
by the Democratic Congress, they
should send thei* suggestions to A.
Mitchell Palmer, who prepared the
metal schedule that has closed most of
the big industries of Pennsylvania.
LOCAL CO-OPERATION
IT is a gratification to the citizens of
Harrisburg, more of whom should
be Identified with this important
body, that the Chamber of Com
merce is not only giving attention to!
the needs of the city and its develop
ment, but is also looking after the
pleasure of the people. At the annual
meeting this week reference was made
to the dignified Fourth of July cele
bration of this year under the auspices
of the organization, to Its part in the
decoration of the city for the firemen's
convention, and at the same session
preliminary steps were taken for an
Interesting historical p»geant and
river carnival next sum. It is this
co-operation of the peojle that has
made the new Harrisburg and which
ae-ures the constant progress of the
City.
If our own people could hear the
many pleasant things said about Har
risburg and Its splendid advance of re
cent years they, would be repaid for all
their effort and trouble. The river
carnival and historical pageant now
under consideration is certain to pro
vide our citizens and thpusands of
strangers an opportunity to see for
themselves what great changes have
been wrought along the front of the
city in the permanent treatment of the
river slope and low water line.
But until and unless the ragged
Masses of silt and refuse which have
accumulated over a period of years
outside the concrete wall a're removed
WEDNESDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH OCTOBER 7, 1914,
there will be a serious defect in an
admirable public improvement. It is
still the hope of all Interested In this
I great work that the municipal authori
ties concerned and the contractors
will make a real effort before cold
weather to eliminate all of these un
sightly deposits from Iron alley to
Maclay street.
It is their duty and it ought to be
their pleasure to complete the work
and crown their own efforts with the
removal of all this rubbish.
! Richard R. Quay Is not the only Bull
; Moose leader who Is disgusted with the
Flinn-McCormlck deal. Other honest
I followers of Colonel Roosevelt—most of
j them In fact—have repudiated the out
i rageous sell-out of the third party and
: with practical unanimity they are de
' daring for the Republican candidates.
POLITICS AND RELIGION
IT is not surprising that prominent
churchmen and religious and tem
perance leaders are protesting
against the use of these agencies
to promote partisan politics. Church
conferences and synods have been led
into an atmosphere of partisanship by
emissaries of the Democratic candi
date for Governor wearing the cloak
of the clergy and reform.
It is the right of every individual to
form his own conclusions respecting
the exercise of the voting franchise,
but grave consequences are certain to
follow any misuse of religious Instru
mentalities and temperance propa
ganda for a particular candidate.
There has never been a campaign in
Pennsylvania wherein such brazen in
vasion of religious organizations has
been encouraged in the interest of one
candldato as against others equally
entitled to the consideration of Chris
tian voters.
It is time for the hosts of supporters
of Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh, the Re
publican candidate for Governor, to
make their protest felt in the bodies
that have been led Into this Inde
fensible attitude by scheming parti
sans of an ambitious candidate.
The Rev. Dr. Thomas W. McKenty,
at a meeting of an association of
Methodist preachers in Philadelphia
this week, declared that it was im
proper to convert a preachers' meet
ing into a political meeting, no matter
what the virtues of the Issues involved.
He stated that such resolutions -as
those endorsing particular candidates
explained the failure of the association
"to exert the influence it once did in
this community." Dr. McKenty went
further and declared that the reso
lution did not represent the sentiments
of the Methodist people of Philadel
phia. "You are injuring the influence
of the ministry because you are trying
to mix theology and politics and you
are making a mess of it," was his con
clusion.
Scores and hundreds of clergymen
agree with their protesting Philadel
phia brother. These realize that in
fluences are at work beneath the sur
face that are likely to involve a num
ber of the religious bodies in endless
controversies.
Those who have any knowledge of
the recent feo-called nonpartisan tem
perance conference in this city, which
endorsed McCormick for Governor,
are quite familiar with the motives
and purposes of the individuals who
handled that particular affair. These
same persons are evidently busy now
with the denominational bodies in dif
ferent places throughout the State in
pushing through similar endorsements.
Reaction against the candidate in
whose Interest this manipulation of
religion and temperance for political
purposes has been scandalizing the
State is certain to follow.
Hundreds of our visitors this week
have been pleased to compliment the
artistic decoration of the Telegraph
Building. Nothing is too attractive for
Harrisburg.
GARDENING AT HOME
THE American Vegetable Grow
ers Association now in session
is doing a great constructive
work In undertaking to teach
housewives how to buy and use vege
tables and farmers how to grow them
cheaply and of quality acceptable to
the market. The vegetable growers
are men who make the'lr livelihood by
producing vegetables to sell, conse
quently they say nothing about the
home garden, hut if they are consis
tent they will add to their program
a course in garden truck growing at
home.
It is unquestionably true that our
butcher bills are too high for our in
comes and for our own physical weli
being as well, but it is just as true that
living expenses could be reduced and
health improved by a general resump
tion of the old-fashioned practice of
back yard cultivation.
Since the removal of the broken and
dead trees in the River Park by the
Department of Parks and City Property
the necessity for generous tree plant
ing this year is more apparent than
ever. It is to be hoped the trees that
are planted this Fall will be large
enough to fill up in a measure the gaps
created by the removal of the old
trunks.
THE WHARTON SCHOOL
THE Wharton School branch of
the University of Pennsylvania
In Harrisburg opened most aus
piciously last evening. The fact
that almost double the required num
ber of students enrolled indicates the
need of such an advanced business
course in Harrisburg, and the many
professional and business men and
women present may be taken as proof
that interest in the enterprise on the
part of employes is not lacking. Every
thing points to a successful future for
the school.
Necessarily the classes must avail
themselves of the offer of the school
board for the use of the Technical
high school as a meeting place. Even
tually, however, it is to be hoped that
Harrisburg's branch of the university
may have a home of Its own, with
courses even broader than those now
prescribed. That in truth would be
"bringing the university to. the stu
dent."
EVENING CHAT 1
• ———
One of the notable things about the
manner In which Harrisburg Is enter
taining Its thousands of visitors to the
State firemen's convention la the wide
spread Interest being taken In It.
People have as guests many friends
from all parts of the State and the
convention is being made a sort of
carnival week or celebration by the
State Capital, Steelton and the ring
of boroughs roundabout. In fact,
there were as many people from the
nearby towns to see the decora
tions last night as there were visitors
from more distant places. All Harris
burg seemed to be downtown or in
town or uptown as the case might be
according to residence and the vis
itors saw whole families of Harris
burgers, some men and women having
three and four children out to see the
lights and the flags and the crowds
and to hear the bands. The whole
town seems to be entering into the
spirit of the occasion and to be wel
coming the State firemen bacli to
Harrisburg after an absence of al
most a quarter of century. There has
been no occasion In recent years in
which the general Interest has been
so marked. It augurs well for the
proposed carnival for next year. This
city has no fair and while It has nu
merous conventions It does not have
anything that enables It to put on Its
best clothes and have fun.
Motordriven fire apparatus appears
to have the call about the city and the
men in charge are besteged with re
quests to be allowed to ride on the
trucks. Firemen gather around them
and many take rides to see how It
goes. Yesterday a couple of firemen's
wives were bantered by their husbands
into taking rides. The driver whirled
Hjem around the city, taking them by
snort cuts around corners and giving
bursts of speed. But the ladies were
game and they dismounted amid the
applause of a crowd In Market Square,
a bit flushed with the excitement and
with hats somewhat to the side, but
thoroughly pleased with their spin In
and out of the crowds.
The firemen's convention has put
war talk out of the running as a con
versational topic and some of the
politics has a hard time to survive in
the general discussion of the big event
of the month or rather of the Fall in
Harrisburg. This was illustrated the
other afternoon in Market street.
Some one said something about the
chances of McCormick carrying Har
risburg and the man addressed, re
plied: "Oh, let it be. Did you see
that company from Dußois?" Soon
after some people passed up a bul
letin board where the latest news
passing the censor was shown, but they
never stopped. A student of the board
turned around and remarked: "Well,
they're following a band. A week ago
they would have been' elbowing me."
One thing that has attracted atten
tion in Harrisburg just now is the very
general decorating of the city. There
are decorations all over Harrisburg.
Houses in outlying streets and in nar
row backways display flags and there
appears to be a general effort to outdo
all former occasions. Streets in which
no fire company or band will pass
are all fixed up and there are por
tions of Harrisburg which show where
the folks in one block are trying to
outdo those in the next. It has been
a gala week for the decorators and
the city can be proud of their ef
forts.
Just as an instance of the abundance
of apples reported from the counties
of Southern Pennsylvania it might be
stated that at the markets on Saturday
men wert taking orders for apples to
be delhercd late this month or late*
in the fail. Ordinarily it is more or
less difficult to get good brands of
apples by such means and a person
has to be a pretty good customer of a
farmer to make sure of (irst-rate
apples being sold through the stall
of the city's markets. Incidentally,
the way in which orders are being
given for applebutter is worth while
noting.
The other afternoon a couple of men
were standing in front of the Court
house ccgiimenting upon the fact that
it was getting its triennial coat of
paint to overcome the ravages of coal
dust. "Those Corinthian columns al
ways attract my eye. I do not know of
a handsomer portico on any public
building. It goes back to a time of
which we have not many good ex
ampjes left," said the Harrisburger.
"Yes," fired back the man from
often-derided Philadelphia. "From the
time when you said that the vear had
arrived to put up your city hall."
People living in the outlying dis
tricts of the city have a new grievance
against the motorcycle and they are
not a bit backward about making it
known. In addition to kicking up
clouds of dust and endangering young
sters it appears that some careless
motorcyclists have been speeding
around at night without lights. Thev
probably go on the theory that a
motorcycle makes enough noise to
warn anyone of its coming. On Sat
urday evening between Harrisburg
and Steelton four lightless cycles were
counted in a short time, and it was
three hours after nightfall. It's rather
unfortunate that some people will
store up trouble for others who are
careful of the public and cause re
strictive measures when there should
be no need for them.

DR. BRUMBAUGH
IS STEADFAST
Prominent Clergyman Refutes
Statements by the Overzeal
ous Riley M. Little
ALTER PRAISES BRUMBAUGH
Speaker Says That He Will Carry
Allegheny County; Demo
crats Losing Heads
Dr. Brumbaugh was declared to be
steadfast and to be worthy of the sup
port of the people for Governor yes
terday by one of the most eminent
clergymen of Pennsylvania. The Rev.
Dr. Rtifus W. Miller, a leading minls-
I ter of the Reformed Church, who is ]
secretary of the Sunday school board,
and of the board of publication of
that denomination, yesterday refuted
the implication made in a speech by
Riley M. Little, a Democratic shouter,
published yesterday morning.
Dr. Miller makes it clear that while
some of the facts stated by Little are
true, in his mistaken zeal he has
wholly misrepresented Dr. Brum
baugh's attitude as an unbossed, un
tramineled candidate, owing his alle
giance only to the more than a quar
ter of a million Qualified voters who
indorsed his candidacy in May.
Dr. Miller, in an interview, makes it
definitely clear that Dr. Brumbaugh
has steadfastly held to his attitude
throughout the campaign as a candi
date for the governorship, asking the
support of all right thinking citizens
on his own platform, and on his un
impeachable record of public service.
The Democratic ringmasters in the
city are having a hard time to ex
plain the big Increase in the regis
tration in a number of
the wards and the ef
forts to make it appear Democrat#!
that it means a Demo- Furnishing
cratlc vote of great . Aniuscmc.it
size are creating much
amusement among the
thousands of visitors. The truth is
I that the Democrats fell down hard,
just as they did in Philadelphia and I
Pittsburgh, in efforts to roll up a big!
registration and In spite of the elabo
rate preparations made by the Pal
mer-McCormick League the results
have been all the other way. In the
First and Tenth wards, for Instance,
the Republican registration is very
large and the Fourth ward, the home
of Candidate McCormick will show a
very heavy Republican enrollment.
It was widely remarked last night
that the Democratic State machine hffd
proved unable because of its desperate
situation to refrain
from intruding politics
Democratic on the convention
j Dofieratlon crowds. The political
■ Shown Vp banners were taken
down at the request
of the firemen who
did not want partisan politics injected
I into their annual gathering and to
| make some impression the Demo
cratic State headquarters violated the
whole spirit of the convention gath
ering last night by sending dozens of
little boys around the streets with
banners attacking the Republicans.
I For men who are backing a candidate
who loudly proclaims his abhorrence
of child labor the Democratic bosses
certainly put their foot in it. Some of
the banner bearers were youngsters
of tender age and were in the streets
until late at night.
George E. Alter, Speaker of the last
State House of Representatives, who
championed the Unltjd States sena
torial candidacy of J.
Benjamin Dlmmick in
Alter Says the primaries, yester-
Brunihaiigli day called at the
Will Win headquarters of the
Brumbaugh citizens'
committee and pre
dicted that Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh,
Republican nominee for Governor,
would sweep Allegheny county with a
large majority. "Not only will 1 say
tha£ Dr. Brumbaugh will carry Alle
gheny county,'' Mr. Alter said, "but I'll
guarantee that my legislative district,
which was carried by Dimmick
against Penrose in the primaries, will
give the 'Schoolmaster' a most grati
fying majority. Wherever Dr. Brum
baugh goes he makes a tremendous
impression. Is his independence ques
tioned? Not by a man who has seen
and heard him. He is a great cam
paigner and will make a greater Gov
ernor."
The Speaker expressed the thought
that the campaign had not yet
"warmed up" to its full strength, but
that when it did. and it would do that
soon, Dr. Brumbaugh would be a pre
mier among candidates before the
people.
Congressman A. Mitchell Palmer
yesterday appealed to the Wilson Ad
ministration for still more help. Hav
ing gotten the Taft econ
omy In abolishing a rev
enue district upset so that Palmer
he could have more jobs to Wants
give, ho .now wants to keep Help
Scranton men quiet. He
yesterday asked Secretary
McAdoo to make Scranton, Pa., the
headquarters of the new district. He
made known his desire in th© follow- 1
ing franlt letter:
"Dear Mr. Secretary: The legisla
tive, judicial and executive appropria
tion bill, recently signed hy the Presi
dent. authorises the establishment of
sixty-four internal revenue districts in
the country, an increase of one dis
trict. This change in the law was
secured mainly through my efforts, In
the desire to have the Twelfth Penn
sylvania district restored. You will
remember that this district was Joined
with the Ninth district by executive
order of President Taft, and I have
appeared before you several times
urgently requesting that it be re-estab
lished. In view of the fact that the
law now provides for the establish
ment of an additional district, I trust
you will have an order Issued re
establishing the Twelfth Pennsylvania
district with the same boundaries as
it formerly had, and with headquar
ters at Scranton."

I EDITORIAL COMMENT]
American recklessness causing great
loss of life and stupendous damage to
property by. Are Is proverbial. The
lire records of American cities cause
appalled amazement throughout Eu
rope. No doubt there has been great
Improvement in recent years, but
there is still a great opportunity for a
national economy. Education Is the
thing. Teaching the public, children
and adults alike, the habit of care
fulness is the llrst necessity. Attention
to details of safety by architects, build
ers and fitters up of houses Is of first
rate Importance. The substitution of
uninflammable for dangerous ma
terials of all sorts should be urged.
The campaign is worthy of all the
energy that can be thrown into it.—
New York Sun.
Of course prayer Is answered: on
Peace Sunday the President and Col
onel Harvey made up.—Philadelphia

The theory of recall of judges,
which never was defended by sound
thinking men, is dying a natural death
and it will soon take Its place in that
limbo of foolish products of political
Ignorance occupied by the greenback
and free silver craze.—Philadelphia
Ledger.
PROTECTION AND PROSPERITY
[From the Philadelphia t'ress]
President Wilson's frank appeal to
his Democratic followers to see to It
that the United States Senate is kept
Democratic In politics, so that ruin
ous Democratic tariff policies and the i
rest of the program may bbe main
tained, hajs let in the light on the pre
tenses of smaller Democratic leaders
in this State, who are seeking the de
feat of Senator Penrose.
The campaign against Mr. Penrose |
has been conducted, on the lowest i
ground of personal blackguardism.!
Issues of the greatest Importance to j
the country and In particular to the i
welfare of Pennsylvania, have been j
rigorously avoided by Mr. Palmer and
bis followers, who have contented
themselves with appeals to prejudice
and personal spleen ,in the hope of
bringing about the defeat of the Re
publican candidates That the hope Is
a vain one Is obvious, and that Mr.
Palmer himself believes that he Is al
ready beaten beyond hope, Is to be in
ferred from the Irritation that he dis
plays, as his personal assaults fall of
effect.

In the light of this fact it is very :
gratifying to Republicans that their 1
party has been in almost uninterrupt

since 1861. We have had but one
Democratic governor, Robert E. Pat
tlson, who served two terms, having
first been elected in 1882, and again
elected in 1890. Since 1861 we have
had two Democratic auditors general
—Temple and Schell—and three Dem
ocratic State treasurers McGrath,
Noyes and Berry, and during the in
cumbency of these gentlemen the
SENTIMENT AND BUSINESS

HARRISBURG GAS COMPANY
Democratic parly had a voice in the
executive department of the State
government.
One who reads in the Democratic
journals the bitter denunciation of
Republican misrule at Harrlsburg will
have difficulty in reconciling these at
tacks with the fact that Pennsylvania,
almost continuously Republican, is the
1 only State in the Union that is out of
debt.
There have doubtless been cases of
misrule at Harrlsburg tor which the
Republican party Is properly charg
able, but we submit that this party
should, on the other hand, have credit
for "good housekeeping" on the part
of the executive department of the
Staite government, shown by the fact
that the expenditures of the State have
always been fully and promptly met
by the State revenues.
