MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 12
MR. KREIDER'S SPEECH
CONGRESSMAN AARON S.
KREIDER made a speech at
Penbrook on Saturday night
that ought to have been heard
by an audience of thousands. It was
a plain businesS talk candidates in
the United States to-day and it was
eo clear and logical that he need not
have pointed out his own conclusions,
for his audience saw them in advance.
In particular Mr. Kreider took excep
tions to the so-called "war tax" now
'before Congress. He pointed out that
from March 1 to July 31 conditions
' were normal and said that during
; these five months the. importations
from abroad to the United States
•amounted in value to $838,000,000.
For the same period in 1913 the im
portations amounted to $705,000,000.
This is an Increase during the Wilson
administration of nearly 20 per cent,
and an average increase of $26,000,000
a month. For this period of the Demo
cratic tariff the exports from the
United States fell off 10 per cent, in
comparison with the same months in
1913. This means that the Increased
importations and reduced exportation
took a large quantity of work and
wages from American workmen. For
these five months the balance of trade
ran against the United States, and con
tinued to do so during all of the per
-1 iod. Upon this basis the general de
ficit to the United States Treasury,
due to the failure of the tariff to pro
vide sufficient revenues, would amount
to about $100,000,000 a year—a sig
nificant figure in view of the fact that
this Is the amount asked for by the
President In his plea for "war taxes."
If there had been no European war
practically the same deficit would have
been encountered, but in all probabil
ity the administration would not have
had the assurance to put such a sys
tem of special taxation into effect as
is now proposed. The war is merely
an excuse. It is a subterfuge eagerly
accepted by the administration to fool
the people and cover up the real causes
of the government's financial embar
rassment. President Wilson In his
message to Congress was
to state that "during the month of
August" there was a falling oft in gov
ernment revenues. He made no refer
ence to the fact that August was no
exception to all the other months dur
ing which the country has had the new
tariff.
It is true, as Congressman Kreider
eaid, that the Democratic tariff with
out special taxes would have bank
rupted our government, war or no
war. The last low tariff, under the
Cleveland administration, had exactly
the same effect, only In that case, in
stead of special taxes, the administra
tion issued more bonds. President
Wilson is more fortunate than Presi
dent Cleveland, for he has the war in
Europe to hide behind. The new in
ternal revenue taxes are to make up
the natural and inevitable deficit of a
Democratic tariff, and the European
Struggle makes it convenient to refer
to it as a "war tax."
It was to be expected that the State
Water Supply Commission would Insist
upon the removal of the silt and other
debris from the river basin outside the
protective wall along the city's front.
This was part of the understanding
with Harrisburg when the permit for
the construction of this wall was Issued
and City Commissioner Lynch, head of
the Department of Public Works, very
properly announced that the accumula
tion must be removed.
The difference between Brumbaugh
and McCormick may be Judged from
their addresses at Fifth Street Church
yesterday. Brumbaugh preached the
gospel. McCormick failed to r< cognise
the difference between a Sunday school
«nd a campaign rally.
THEY ARE NOT DECEIVED
INTEREST in the war in Europe
is not sufficient to obscure the
fact of the Democratic breakdown
at Washington. It was the hope
cf thb administration that the people
would loie sight of the rapidly-de
creaaing revenues under a free-trade
law In the complications growing out
of the conflict abroad. As a matter
MONDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH OCTOBER 12. 1914
of fact, however, the people had ftl- I
ready made up their minds regarding!
the real causes of widespread business ,
difflcultlr j and Industrial depression :
in the United States lon* before the'
outbreak of hostilities In Europe. I
They are not going to be deceived, j
They know quite well that the real i
trouble Is with the theoretical admin- J
istratlon at Washington and its con
stant legislation tending to disrupt and
upset normal business conditions.
Business men and working men are
going to have a change and the third
of November cannot come too soon
to suit most of them.
Our firemen visitors from every sec
tion of Pennsylvania have returned to
their respective communities filled with
admiration for the flre-tlghters of this
city and deep appreciation of the hos
pitality of our people. Harrisburg has
made a name for itself as a hospitable
city and the big demonstration of last
week will have a tendency to still j
further emphasize the enterprising j
character of the city and Its progress. ]
Promptly on the heels of the depart- ;
ing firemen. City Commissioner Bow- i
man has started the wheels moving In ,
the construction of the additional j
water main in the central section of I
the city. He was wise in suspending i
this work until after the great conven
tion and parade of last week.
BISHOP DUBS
HIS army of friends in this city
and throughout the country are
more than pleased with the dis
tinguished honor which has
again been bestowed upon Bishop Ru
dolph Dubs by the United Evangelical
General Conference. After an inter
regnum of several years Bishop Dubs
has been re-elected to the episcopacy
and all who recognize in this able
churchman a devoted leader of his;
denomination feel that a most wise
and admirable choice has been made
by the conference.
Bishop Dubs has been in the har
ness for more than 58 years and what
he has accomplished for his day and
generation through forceful, conse
crated effort constitutes one of the
brightest pages in the religious his
tory of the United States.
The return of the Rev. Dr. H. B.
Hartzler and the Rev. Dr. W. M.
Stanford, both of them former bishops
of the church, will also be welcomed
by Harrisburgers who have learned to
know and love them during their long
residence in this city. Both are
veterans in the denomination they
serve and Dr. Hartzler is taking up
the Important work, in addition to his
editorship, of the presidency of the
board of foreign missions at an age
when most men are shedding cares
and preparing to retire. No more vig
orous or energetic body of churchmen
are to be found in the country to-day
than the venerable heads of the United
Evangelical Church who honor the
city by their residence here.
There is such widespread resentment
against the attempt to'ln-olve the re
ligious denominations and the temper
ance societies, in a partisan campaign
in support of the Democratic candidate
for Governor that it need not be sur
prising to hear of a counter movement
that will make the scheming of profes
sional politicians back of this game
look extremely small. Serious harm has
already been done the Anti-Saloon
League, a nonpartisan organization In
its purpose and plans, by the unfair at
titude of its managers.
There is much yet to be done to com
plete the original park Iraprovenie it
plans In this city, and City Commis
sioner Taylor, the head of this depart
ment, will have a conference with
Warren H. Manning, the city's expert
landscape architect, with a view to the
final moves that must be made before
important results that are contemplated
shall be achieved.
ROOSEVELT'S COMING
THOUSANDS of Republicans who
were drawn into the support of
Roosevelt two years ago through
their admiration for the man
have returned to the regular Repub
lican fold and are this year supporting
the nominees of that party. If the
Democratic bosses who have taken
over what is left of the Progressive
movement in this State, through a
fusion deal, imagine that they have
any claim upon this great body of
voters, whom they hope to drive into
line by a whirlwind tour of the State
by Colonel Roosevelt, they will be
woefully disappointed. Many men who
are still friends of the Colonel do not
propose to follow him into a hostile
camp simply to accentuate the per
sonal resentment of the Bull Moose
leaders.
As a matter of fact, men of all
parties are beginning to realize that
the time for experiment is over so far
as Pennsylvania is concerned. They
have seen the disastrous consequences
of theoretical administration and not
even Roosevelt with his unusual per
sonality will be able to pull the Demo
cratic chestnuts out of the fire.
Doubtless he will be heard by large
audiences, but it has not been forgot
ten that William Jennings Bryan was
also able to gather about him in his
several campaigns for the Presidency
great multitudes of people who then
promptly came out from under the
spell of his eloquence and voted the
Republican ticket.
It is a Republican year and while
the Democratic machine bosses are
sending out predictions of success they
are privately admitting that the trend
is against them and that there is no
hope of defeating the Republican can
didates. There is one exception in the
person of the Democratic candidate
for Governor. For obvious reasons
those who are beneficiaries of his
bounty are telling him anything save
that which they think he would not
like to hear. Meanwhile they are hop
ing he will drive in the head of an
other barrel goon.
It is a fine tribute and memorial
which the family of the late John Y.
Boyd will erect to his memory In pro
viding an assembly hall for the Toung
Women's Christian Association. Mr.
Boyd was greatly Interested In this in
stitution and his family are doubtless
doing what he would have been glad to
do had he lived to see the development
of the Y. W. C. A. along tlje progres
sive lines that he helped to originate.
i EVENING CHAT I
If one wants to Bet an idea of the
way Harrisburg is branching out and
of the way separate municipalities or '
settlements or groups of houses are
springing up within sight of the Capi
tol dome and how all are contributing
to the greater Harrisburg he has only
to look at the lists of properties offered
for sale. Facts and Figures, a real
estate publication that has never been
equaled in Harrisburg for its enter
prise and comprehensiveness, furnishes
ideas which are rather surprising to
the man who does not study his city
and whose ideas of the place wherein i
he lives and makes his money are cir
cumscribed too often by his place of
business, his homo, a theater and, sad
to say, a railroad station. Some time
ago It was remarked in this column
that there were mighty few men in
Harrisburg who knew the suburbs,
that J B, knew what they were like, and
that the number who "had been all
over Harrisburg" was probably scan
tier. Now. leaving out of the list
Bellevue Park. Cloverly Heights, Cam
eron Extension, Ellerslie and a few
others which are in Harrisburg, just
look at this list: Camp Hill, Edge
mont, Elkwood. Enola. Edgewater,
Enhaut. Glenwood. H»iniyn. Dauphin,
Highspire, Lemoyne, Lucknow, Marys
ville, New Cumberland, Paxtonia, Pen
brook, Paxtang. Progress, Pleasant
Hill, Oberlin, Rockville, Riverside,
Rosemont. Rutherford Heights, Seldel
Park. Summerdale, South Earlington,
West Fairview, Wormleysburg. Worth
while. Washington Heights, to say
nothing of Steelton. Swatara, Hershey,
Hummelstown, Halifax or Mechanics
burg and some operations which are
getting under way. Probably some
have been left out of the list, but it]
serves to show how what can be
called the Harrisburg territory is
branching out. This community is
over the 100.000 mark now, counting
in the people who are directly Inter
ested In Harrisburg, and it's growing
every day.
In the same envelope that contained
John Yingst's check for hia_clty taxes
the other day City Treasurer O. M.
Copelin got a little message from Mr.
Yingst expressing in the writer's cryptic,
characteristic style his opinion about
the "Hardscrahble" situation. Mr.
Yingst is one of the oldest residents of
that district. The note was in the
form of a sale announcement.
" 'Hardscrahble' must go," wrote
Mr. Yinst. "Selling out to close busi
ness. Anything from a needle to a
haystack. No reasonable offer refused.
Come and bring your friends."
To-night for the ttrst time trustees
will be elected for the Harrisburg Pub
lic Library in the new library building
since it has been opened. The election i
will be to fill vacancies caused by J
expiration of terms and the people ,
who have complied with the by-laws |
and become members have the right
to elect. The library has been in
operation only since the first of the
year, Uut is now tilling a place in Har
risburg that would not have been an
ticipated a year ago. The circulation
of books has been so great as to at
tract attention of librarians in other
cities and the greatest interest is being
taken in its work by school children.
According to the farmers attending
the markets In this city, there have
not been as many pumpkins raised
this year as in former years and it
wems rather strange, hut the reason
assigned is that in the last great agri
cultural year. 1912. there were so
many pumpkins raised that there was
no sale for them. "A whole lot of my
neighbors put out pumpkin vines, but
they cut the flowers off them and
raised some big pumpkins instead of
lots of little ones," said one farmer
who keeps his eyes .open. "A big
pumpkin you can always sell well, but
you can't sell a lot of mediums or
little fellows. I don't think near as
many pumpkins were raised around
here as a few years ago."
The other day a man came up and
thanked the Telegraph for printing its
little question every night. The ques
tion referred to is at the bottom of
this column. In the language of that
man: "Blessed if I knew this city was
so much on the manufacturing map
until I began noticing that little inter
rogation point every night. It has
given me a lot of information and I'd
like to see the list keep on growing."
By the time the Cumberland Valley
Railroad gets the additional piers built
in the Susquehanna river there will be
| still more obstructions. On this side
j of the island it will not matter very
much because there are some fairly
deep channels and the water has plenty
of room, but on the other side of the
island between the reefs, the numer
ous piers now existing, the stumps of
the piers of the old "camelback," the
sand patches, the rocks and the dams
there will be more or less obstructing
of the water and it will be almost like
a dam.

FINANCE EXTRAORDINARY
(New York Sun)
In order to enable the State of Ten
nessee to borrow $1,400,000 for one
year Secretary McAdoo agreed to
make a special deposit of $400,000 of
government funds with the National
Park Bank of this city as a condition
of the loan. This fact Is divulged by
the Secretary of the Treasury in a
brief statement, wherein his refer
ences to the difficult position of the
State of Tennessee do not obscure the
astonishing nature of the transaction.
We wonder if Mr. McAdoo regards
his action in the matter of the Tennes
see loan as squaring with the spirit of
the following declaration in the plat
form adopted by the Democratic na
tional convention in July, 1912:
"We condemn the present methods
of depositing government funds in a
few favored banks, largely situated in
or controlled by Wall street, la return
for political favors, and we plMge our
party to provide by law for their de
posit by competitive bidding in the
banking institutions of the country,
national and State."
As It happens, the Democratic party
has not yet taken advantage of the
power possessed by it to establish stat
utory control over the dispensation of
public funds through treasury depos
its, although an excellent opportunity
was presented last year when the fed
eral reserve act was being shaped.
1 What we should like to know, how
ever, is in what manner Mr. McAdoo's
employment of public money in the
Tennessee loan case differs in prin
ciple from the Treasury policy which
the Baltimore platform of 1912 alleged
and condemned.
»n OLIVER
SHOWS UP EKE
Cost Twice as Much to Nominate
McCormick and Palmer as
Brumbaugh and Penrose
DAYLIGHT FOR COMMITTEE
Letter to Palmer Tells Him He
Does Not Have Support of
His Own Party Now
People interested in politics a'l over]
the country are commencing to sit up
and take notice of the attempts be
ing made to misrepresent Dr. Brum
baugh's stand on various issues and
the primary campaign expenditures of
Senator Penrose because of the plain
matter of fact statement made to the
United States senate committee on
elections by Senator George T. Oliver,
the other day. The committee it will
be recalled decided to wait until after
election before taking up any inves
tigations despite the fact that the
committee is dominated by Demo
crats.
The statement of the senator show
ed up the grand stand play of Con
gressman A. Mitchell Palmer and
proved that the Democratic campaign
waged by McCormick and Palmer cost
twice as much as that of Penrose and
Brumbaugh. When it comes down to
pouring in money McCormick showed
he did not care.
Senator Oliver gave the committee
a statement from Richard Campion,
treasurer of the Pennsylvania Protec
tive Union, and also figures showing
the expenditures of Vance C. McCor
mick, Democratic gubernatorial can
didate; A. Mitchell Palmer, senatorial
cane..date, and of the Palmer-McCor
mick League in Pennsylvania, the lat
ter an organization to promote the
candidacies of Palmer and McCormick
in the Democratic primary. The fig
ures showed the following expendi
tures by the Palmer-McCormick wing
of the Democratic party to defeat
Michael J. Ryan, for governor, and
Henry Budd for the senatorship:
I Expenditures of Vance C.
McCormick $33,274.73
Expenditures of Palmer.'. . 3,704.18
Expenditures of Palmer-
McCormick League .... 19,406.01
Total $56,3802
The expenditures of Senator Pen
rose. senatorial candidate: Martin O.
j Brumbaugh, gubernatorial candidate,
and the Pennsylvania Protective
I Union, which Palmer attacked when
he appeared before the committee, fol
lows:
Expenditures of Senator
Penrose $14,640.73
Expenditures of Martin G.
Brumbaugh 3,139.48
Pennsylvania Prote cti v e
Union 11,000.00
Total $28,780.21
The Pottsville Chronicle declares
that Gifford Pinchot spent upward of
SI,OOO to i'aw audiences for a single
day in Schuylkill county,
which he visited last
Pinchot Thursday, and that at
Quite a that rate Pinchot Is
Spender spending twice*, as much
. as Senator Penrose,
.... whose expenditures he Is
criticising. Most of Plnchot's expen
ses are for post cards. Ho sent out
4 5,000 of these in Schuylkill to voters
to ask their attendance at the different
towns where he spoke. This of itself
cost $450 for postage alone.
The Chronicle also states that there
will be sensational evidence from the
Schuylkill on bftialf of Senator Pen
rose if there is an investigation of
campaign accounts, as the Democratic
postmasters at Pottsville, Frackvllle
and Tamaqjw. acknowledged last
Spring that the Democratic State or
ganization had attempted to collect
funds from them during the time that
a primary fight was in progress.
An appeal to Representative A.
Mitchell Palmer, Democratic nominee
for United States Senate, to withdraw
in favor of Gifford Pin
chot was mailed by
registered letter to Mr. Say Palmer
Palmer by the Anti- Is Not Sure
(Penrose Republican of Support
League of Pennsylva
nia. Such action, it
was written, would insure the defeat
of "Penrose and Penroseism." In part
the letter says:
"You do rot have the support of
your own party—it is faction-torn; it
is hopelessly divided. In Philadelphia,
for instance, the Democratic city
chairman has repudiated the local op
tion plank in the party platform. The
city committee is not turning a hand
to help you."
A Pittsburgh dispatch says: "Work
men throughout the city, many of
whom deserted the Republican party
two years ago to
cast their lots with
Pittsburgh Men the now defunct
Panning Up Bull Moose pafty,
Democrats are returning to the
ranks with almost
unlooked for rapid
ity. The folly of having contributed
to the election of a national Demo
cratic administration-is rankling in the
breasts of many who until ISI2 had
earned excellent wages and who now
are spending most of their time in
idleness. Delegations of these men
call almost daily at Republican head
quarters in Diamond street and there
volunteer as missionaries to* bring
their fellow workers back to the fold.
Yesterday afternoon a number of rep
resentative toilers of the Crescent Steel
Works und other concerns ottered their
services to the old party. Members
of this delegation had all enrolled as
Republicans and most of them safd
they had as much of the Bull
Moose as they ever want to see and
that the Democratic administration
had made a grand fizzle of the help
it had promised to extend the work
ingman. Representatives of the coun
ty committee, during the past several
days have gone about among the wage
earners soliciting their support, but
found worklngmen flocking around
the Republican colors without persua
sion.
Republican leaders In Lebanon
county have arranged $o hold twenty
mass meetings throughout the county,
beginning to-night. The total enroll
ment of voters In Lebanon city
county Is 9,076 and of this number
5,597 are Republican, 2,478 Democrats
and but 877 Washington party voters.
The enrollment represents more than
three-fourths of the total registration.

I EDITORIAL COMMENT]
The Administration in Washington
has been successful thus far in avoid
ing actual war to carry out its Mex
ican policy. For the preservation of
peace the country is duly grateful, and
Its gratitude Increases ns It contem
plates the horrors t)f the European
conflict. But either Mexico must be
left to stew in its own juice, or we
must accept the responsibility and the
consequences of the policy on which
we entered when the President an
nounced that Huerta must go.

Peace Hath Her Victories
no less renowned than War—and chief
among the victories of a peaceful and
well-ordered civilization is

all human pursuits—the tilling of the soil—a food
that supplies all the body-building elements in the
whole wheat grain. Shredded Wheat is an evangel
of peace and health—a builder of sturdy, robust
men and women fit for the day's work. Always
the same price, always the same quality.

restore! crlspness and eaten with milk or cream, will
supply all the nutriment needed for a half day's
work at a cost of not 'over four cents. Deliriously
nourishing and satisfying for any meal with fruits
or creamed vegetables.

Good, Bad
- And Indifferent Coal
Coal all looks very much alike and it is hard for
the average person to tell the good, had or indif
ferent kinds.
There are many more kinds of coal produced than
is generally supposed.
Some coal is very good and some is very in
ferior.
We have made a careful study of the coal busi
ness and we have selected the kind which we know
will give our customers good results.
In order to have on hand a large variety of coal
we have two coal yards, one on the Pennsylvania
Railroad and the other on the Reading Railroad.
Try our coal and see the difference.

conference and association lias passed
resolutions practically excluding all
members who do not. vote as a few en
thusiasts think they ought to. Tho
wording of the resolutions is inten
tionally vague, but is intended to les
sen the vote for Dr. Brumbaugh. It
may not be known to all, but it Is
true that Baptists themselves do not
take such resolutions seriously. They
are proposed by men who are more
zealous than wise. They are wholly
out of order in such meetings and
ought not to he considered, but the
good nature of the brethren allows
them to go to vote, knowing that they
hnve no force. Baptist ministers anil
members are not given to voting at
the dictation of any organization. It
is unfortunate that any body lacking
power to convince should seek to
scare votes into line by resolutions.
But it is hoped that readers of the
Pubttc Ledger will not he greatly in
fluenced by such tactics. Dr. Brum
baugh is the man who has the con
fidence of a large majority of Bap
tists."
