Unlte4 Business Office, 203. MUotial Room 186. Job Dept. 201 TTKBDAY KVENTNG, OCTOBER IS OrR PUBI.IO IJRRARV HARRISBURG has every reason to he proud of the record of the first nine months of its new Public Library and every rea son to be thankful to the late Mrs. Sara J. Haldeman-Haly for the be quests which made it possible fur the State's Capital to possess a library building In keeping with its standing as a city. It should not be forgotten that it is due to the liberal appropria tion by the Harrisburg School Board that the library has been able to ren der the efficient service to the public that has characterized it. The people of the city have not followed up by individual donations for maintenance or extension the bequests of Mrs. Haldeman-Haly or the appropriation of the School Board. But they have used the library. When it is considered that there are about 11,000 books in the library available for general circulation, and that almost 78,000 books were circu lated in the 230 days during which the library has been opened, some idea of the service rendered to the people of Harrisburg and vicinity can be .gained. And it is worth while to note right here that of the books circu lated 21,000 were among school chil dren. The library building is an ornament to Harrisburg. It did not cost the people of this community one cent. The library's service is proved by the circulation and its other activities. If it were not for the School Board )t could not operate because It has only a limited income from investments, Rnd as the demands on the library frrow It will become more and more a problem how to meet the expenses. It deserves support. President Judge Kunkel's friends all over the State -re interesting them selves in his behalf and from every quarter come assurances of earnest support. But the Democratic candidate for Governor in Harrisburg, who is the owner of a newspaper that Is devoting columns to his own adulation, has ap parently overlooked the fact that Judge Kunkel is also a Harrisburg boy who has risen to merited distinction in the local jurisdiction, and who has been chosen by thousands of his fellow-citi zens as a nroper, candidate for the Su preme Court. DR. SCHAEFFER'S VIEWS IN his annual report showing the progress of education in Pennsyl vania* Dr. Nathan C. Schaeffer, the State Superintendent of Public In struction. very properly protests against unloading upon tho schools every problem that needs solution. There has been too much of that sort of thing during recent years. Instead of our schools furnishing the funda mentals of an education for thousands of' boys and girls who do not get be yond the high school, there has been too much flub-dub in the average cur riculum. It is a shame that the hard worked teacher who is earnestly de voting himself and herself to the building up of a solid foundation in the education of the girl and boy should be burdened with a lot of fads which are catapulted upon tho school system in the same way that fool laws are imposed upon a helpless people. What this State needs, and what other States need, is a rapid getting back to something like sanity and common sense in our way of living and doing. We have in the present campaign certain individuals who Imagine that they have discovered a lot of new things which ought to he incorporated Into law and placed upon the statute books to harrass an unsuspecting people. Less so-called reform and more solid consideration for the things that count would do much to relieve present conditions of their intoler able phases. Dr. Schaeffer has a level head and we say more power to his voice in the protest against ruination of a splendid School system through the barnacles that are attaching themselves to our program of education. Political clap trap and innovation and bogus reform have so overshadowed the Important things of every-day life that the TUESDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH OCTOBER 13, 1914. 1 people must arouse themselves in 1 order to get back to solid ground. j Only the other day Dr. Martin G. j Brurpbaugh, himself a leader in sane ! education, declared that Pennsylvania ; would do well to start In repealing a j lot of foolish legislation instead of I further adding to the burdens of the I people in this respect. | I There could be no better center for a , pure food exposition than Harrisburg, j and the live wires, Frank A. Smith, Carl | K. Dean and others like them, who are , at the forefront of the exposition, merit i the support which has been given them ■ far and wide by the manufacturers of | pure food products, it iB a fine thing i for the producers and consumers, and | the show ought to be attended by thou l sands of the people of Central Pennsyl vania. THE TEMPERANCE VOTE LL pretense of observing a defl nite and fixed rule of the Anti- I £ Y Saloon League in Pennsylvania to avoid partisanship in the promotion of the local option cause has been thrown aside by the indivi duals now at the head of that organi zation in this State. They have vio lated every principle of decency and fair play in an endorsement of the Democratic candidate for Governor, nothwithstanding the fact that he has been even less emphatic in his dec laration in favor of local option than Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh, whose life has been an example of temperance and Christian living. One of the rank statements of the last Issue of the official organ of the league is that Dr. Brumbaugh "re ceived his nomination from a consti tuency which is at least eighty per cent, wet." If these zealots imagine that they are going to succeed in their efforts to deceive the people of Penn sylvania they are due for a most un pleasant surprise on election day. As a matter of fact the weekly or gan of the local option organization has practically thrown down all the I liars of nonpartisanshlp and it is now a more rampant Democratic organ than most of the newspapers of that party. Fortunately for the honest temper ance sentiment of the State and the sincere advocates of local option, the tactics of those who are entrusted with the management of the loc&l option campaign have been revealed to most of the voters of Pennsylvania. They can hardly hope to accomplish more than a further aggravation of a largg multitude which has heretofore hon estly supported the local option move ment in the belief that its managers wprp consecrated to a cause and whose judgment was not to be swayed in any manner whatever. They will discover that instead of "the temperance forces of the State" being practically a unit for McCorinick, that these forces are likely to be lined up almost solidly behind Dr. Brumbaugh, whose manly and independent attitude is winning the Rupport of thousands upon thou sands of voters without regard to party affiliations. Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh, who is in creasing In favor throughout the State, observed the proprieties In his admir able address at the Fifth Street Metho dist Episcopal Church on Sunday, but while the Harrisburg Patriot Intro duced a two-column talk by its owner, the Democratic candidate for Governor, with a statement that all the speakers refrained from discussing politics, those who read the speech and who heard it are still wondering what con ception McCormick has of a political talk. He not only failed to observe the proprieties of the occasion, but made his usual cut and dried campaign speech. Now the Bull Moose leaders are call ing upon Palmer to quit the race for United States Senator in the interest of Pinchot. They accuse Palmer of selfishness and Intimate that he is aid ing Penrose by being the "Webster Grim of 1914." It is a fine little fam ily row between what Is left of the Bull Moose party and the Palmer-Mc- Cormick wing of the Democracy. But how could it have been anything else under the peculiar conditions? With Insincerity and hypocrisy as the con spicuous elements of a fusion deal the fruitage was bound to be controversy and disintegration. Jupiter Pluvius has been most con siderate of the contractors on the out door undertakings of Harrisburg this year. Just at the time when Fall rains are in order the east wind blows and still there is no rain, all of which Is distinctly a benefit to those who are ' pushing the various improvement con tracts. A week or two of this sort of ' weather will probably save the contrac tors on the River Front from any in i terference through the rising Susque i hanna. As the tree planting .season ap proaches It is to be hoped some definite steps will be taken for an increase In the number of shade trees in Harrln burg. Of course, City Commissioner Taylor, the head ot the parks and play grounds, will set out a few thousand trees in the parks, but private property owners should also arrange to keep step In this important work for their own day and the years to come. Many prominent' preachers are al ready denouncing the bosses of the i Anti-Saloon League for their foolish [ course in striving to pull the league . into the support of a partisan candi date for Governor. It was Inevitable that this would happen and it is some ' what remarkable that the individuals ' who have assumed to tie the temper ance forces of the State into a partlsnn : knot have not been checked in their game before now. 1 Nothing so impressed the thousands • of visitors in Harrisburg last week as ' the cleanliness of the city. First wpre I the fine decorations on public and pri . vate buildings and offices, then the - streets were clean and above and over I all was the well-kept and up-to-date | appearance of the city as a whole. > According to Democratic press bureau • dope, Palmer and McCormick are "head ■ Ing the flying squadron" In this cam [ paign. And they'll kpep right on hoad , Ins it after election. ' No, the Bush league was not named ' in honor of the pitcher of the Athletics. AX EVENING THOUGHT If a good is a letter o:' ' recommendation, a good heart is ' i a letter u£ credit. —Bulwer-Lytton. 1 EVENING CHAT I How battleships ure made and how the navies of the world turned to steam and arinor plate from sails and the stout oaken walls will be brought home to Harrisburg people this week when the winter series of talks will be Inaugurated by the Engineers' Society of Pennsylvania, which has planned addresses designed to convey a popular idea of what engineering science is doing for the people at large. The talk to be given will be on Thursday and will be delivered by W. A. Dobson the naval architect of the big Cramp shipyards at Philadelphia, who hits had much to do with the construction of Uncle Sam's war vessels from the days when the first steel cruiser was laid down on the ways at Kensington. Mr. Dobson will trace the historv of the navy from the frigates of the Con stellation and Constitution and Con gress to the superdreadnoughts. Tho lecture will have much of interest to Harrisburgers because many of the vessels were built In Pennsylvania and because trees from the hillsides of the Susquehanna valley figured in the con struction of the early wooden-walled battleships, as did Harrisburg-made iron In those of the Civil War, and Harrisburg and Steelton steel in tho hulls of some of the modern sea fight ers. The lecture series will continue for some time and will be a stimulus to popular education in naval affairs, which are now very much to the front. People who were here last week to attend the State firemen's convention are not only praising the splendid preparations made for the convention and the parade and the classy manner in which Harrisburg discharged its duties as host, but they are mention ing the manner in which the firemen acquitted themselves. There have been some times In years gone by, to be frank, when the firemen's parades were occasions for more or less hilarity, but the order maintained in the great parade of Thursday was all that could be arfked and in most in stances was on the military order. In fact, the order of the marchers was as notable as the size of the parade. Harrisburg cavalrymen will be In terested to learn that Lieutenant W. H. Bell, who has been the inspector instructor of the cavalry of the Na tional Guard for several years, has again been assigned to that work. He ha* been ordered to visit Uie various troops in this State and New Jersey once a month during the winter. He is personally known to a number of residents of this city. State Librarian Thomas Lynch Mont gomery, Robert P. Bliss, of the Frecj Libraries, and Miss Alice R. Eaton, of the Harrisburg Public Library, will attend the meeting of the Keystone State Library Association at Werners ville this week. A number of promi nent librarians will attend and the work of the new library here will be reported on by Miss Eaton Farmers in some of the fruit-raising districts of York county say that there is a chance for a second crop of some kinds of lruit if Jack Frost does not come around too soon. In some dis tricts the apricot and early apple trees are bearing blossoms again and a few instances have been found where strawberry plants bloomed and fruit formed. This is attributed to the warm weather that has prevailed since the early part of September and to the fact that the ground was full of water —thanks to the earlier rains. Some farmers think that with cultivation they might have been able to raise good second crops of strawberries. The anniversary of the birthdav of father Theobald Mathew, the great Irish temperance advocate, will be observed in the schools of this city and Steolton to-inorrow. There are a few living In this part of the State who recall having seen the famous priest when he visited Philadelphia before the Civil War. Miss Violet Oakley, the artist, who ?s engaged upon the mural decorations to be placed in the Senate chamber this fall, has bought a new property from the Houston estate in suburban Philadelphia. When Miss Oakley un dertook her commission she had to build an addition to her studio to take care of the great paintings she planned for the State, but even the annex has proved too small, and she will move into a new home which contains a huge studio and facilities for her to complete her work. The present low water stage of the Susquehanna shows that although the \ -shaped fish dams that we supposed the recent legislative act put out of business are still in existence and that there are a good many of them within sight of the Daphin county courthouse. The jurisdiction of Dauphin county, lis it remarked, extends to low water mark on the Cumberland shore. Some of these dams were built years ago, but the comparatively good state in which they are revealed by the falling of the volume of water starts the sus picion that they were mighty well con structed or else have been repaired. The dams, as they now lie, offer some mighty tempting opportunities lor illegal fishing. 1 WELL KNOWN PEOPLE "1 —H. 8. Swift and C. S.

TEDDY'S AWKWARD PREDICA MENT (PMladelphia Record) Mr. Roosevelt is "swinging around the circle" with Mr. Davunport, his candidate for Governor. Mr. Cail, his candidate for State Treasurer, is not In the party. This relieves tde Only Honest Man and Sole Patriot of £om«i embarrassment. His principal oblect in making speeches is to compass :he defeat of Mr. Whitman, and his main indictment of the District Attorney is that he accepted a Tammanv nomina tion, being already the fujion candi date. This, in the opinion of Mr. Roosevelt, put the Tammany brand upon him.. But Mr. Call wfj chosen State Treasurer by .1 deal between the Democratic and Pr >grosslv<> mem bers of the Legislature?, so that he boi.rs the same brand that.Air. Whit man does. With maateriv strategy, Mr. Roosevelt ignores Mr. Call while denouncing Mr. Whitman, and, cf course, it would be a littln mo.-<» awk ward for him to do this If Mr. Call were sitting on the platform with him tliau it is in Mr. Call's aosjuco. PALMER GETS MUD 1 IT Nl. HAMPTON TODD Also Calls Senator Crow a Liar and Makes a General Show of Himself at Sunbury ALMOST BAD~AS M'CORMICK Kolb Nails One of the Detrich Brand of Campaign Yarn; Watson "Calls" Morris Congressman A. Mitchell Palmer is losing his suavity. He is commencing to show the ill temper that has char acterized Vance C. McCormick since he encountered opposition In his po litical aims. He is also adopting the McCormick style of political argument. Palmer yesterday called Senator Wil liam E. Crow, the Republican State chairman, a plain liar because of the statement issued by Crow about his activities as attorney of the Lacka wunna Railroad in the session of 1907. However. Palmer did not deny that he had been here as an attorney during that session. Palmer also opened up on M. Hamp ton Todd, former Attorney General, who said that when the interests of Pennsylvania are considered he was for Penrose in preference to Palmer every time. This statement by the distinguished lawyer who prosecuted the Cppitol cases was a terrific jolt for Palmer and McCormick and Pal mer stormed around at Sunbury last night In an effort to answer and about all he said was that he was not a free trader. Rut lie drew the metal sched ule, and there are more idle mills and furnaces in Pennsylvania now than for years. In addition to the jabs by Todd and Crow and the constant pointing to idle iron mills Palmer Is being battered by Bull Moosers who want him to get off the ticket in favor of Pinchot, indi cating that they think they should be given something in return for taking down Lewis and making McCormick the head of the mule ticket. Palmer also has the handicap of having been endorsed last night by AVilliam Jennings Bryan. Special denial of the story circulated by Washington party leaders and re peated yesterday in a formal state ment by State Chairman Detrich. In effect that be- fore Dr. Martin G. Rrum- \notlier baugh announced his candi- Yarn Is dacy he conferred at the Smashed Philadelphia home of Louis J. Kolb with Senators Pen rose and Oliver, was made yesterday by Mr. Kolb. The story is character ized as one which does not contain an atom of truth. Mr. Kolb has always been affiliated with independ ent political movements and not with the Republican party. He was, how ever, original Brumbaugh man. is a neighbor of the Republican candi date and is now treasurer of the Brumbaugh Citizens' Committee. Ex-Representative William Coleman Freeman, of Cornwall, who. before the primaries, came out in a public state ment opposing the nomi- nation of Senator Boies Freeman Penrose on the Republican for the ticket, last evening took Ticket the stump in support of Senator Penrose and the whole Republican ticket. Mr. Freeman was the principal speaker at the opening meeting of the Lebanon county campuign, which was inaugu rated in his home town, Cornwall, and the announcement is made that he will deliver a number of speeches before the November election. Mr. Freeman is prominently identified with the vari ous iron industries. James C. Watson, chairman of the Lycoming county Republican commit tee, said yesterday that the statement of Roland S. Morris, Democratic State chair- man, was absolutely in Jim Watson error as to the registra- Wiiuls Up tion In Williamsport and One Morris Lycoming county. Mr. Watson explained that Lycoming county is normally Demo cratic by about 1,800, but that this has been reduced to 1,110. The city is noimaily Democratic by about 150 and that has been reduced to 31. In other words, the registration in Williams port is as follows: Republican, 2,147; Democratic, 2,178; Washington party, 169; Prohibition, 140; Socialist Labor, 117; nonpartisan. 2 75. The total regis tration of the county is 17,061. Chairman Watson further said that Senator Penrose and Dr. Brumbaugh would carry Williamsport and Lycom ing county. POLITICAL SIDELIGHTS —State Chairman Morris appears to have been about as wrong on his state ment regarding Williamsport Demo cratic registration as he was on that in Harrisburg. —By the way. McCormick has not been saying much about the Harris burg Democratic registration. —Dr. Brumbaugh will follow up his meetings here on October 28 by two days of meetings in Philadelphia. —State Chairman Detrich ought to realize by this time that no one be lieves that Kolb residence conference story he is so fond of telling. —McCormick's desperation is shown by his appeal to ministers to consider him as the only upright man. —lncidentally, McCormick's letter to the preachers is going to be the worst boomerang he ever started. —McCormick's letter Is a direct bid for the injection of politics Into the church and yet Brumbaugh is a min ister who has refrained from making political speeches in churches. —Contrast the addresses of ilcCor mick and Brumbaugh in Fifth Street Church. Then you get the measure of the men. —The Colonel has but three days to spend in Pennsylvania this month. —Jim Watson appears to have called Roland Morris. —Wonder If Oscar W. Underwood is going to keep that ways and means committee clerk In this city during the whole of Palmer's campaign? —Senator Penrose, will be in Berks county on Thursday. McCormick found • that a good many Democrats in Northumberland county had not forgotten his abuse of Michael J. Ryan. —The Philadelphia Democratic city committee appears to be going It alone. —The Democratic State executive committee has been called for Friday. Why call it? —State Chairman Crow's statement appears to have drawn blood. —Palmeis says he has no apology to make for the Democratic tariff. He can't. —McCormick overlooked one yes terday. He did not say anything about Columbus having been a reorganizer. —Governor Sulzer, recently hailed as a great Progressive find, Is now asking who is financing Colonel Roose velt. —Someone might ask "Democratic State headquarters If McCormick mbney is going to finance the Colonel's tour of Pennsylvania. —The Philadelphia Republican city committee yesterday HtartPd a move ment to scan registration lists.

OUR AGRICULTURAL NKLDS We ought to see to it that a larger sum from our common treasury is used to build up our agricultural in terests In this Commonwealth. We are a great people here. Eas: of the Blue mountains we have the finest soli in America. Here we can grow almost any crop. We are not receiving from the soil of our Commonwealth one hnlf of the products that It is able to produce and carry to our markets. The State of Pennsylvania must turn its serious thought and attention to Improving the quality and increasing the quantity of food that grows in the soil of this Commonwealth, and all through the organization of your State service, economy, science and skill must apply themselves to that important task, for if we do not do that in the very near future we will find ourselves with a great city, town and village population consuming food from a decreased food supply, and gradually we will be dependent in Pennsylvania not upon our home markets, but upon foreign markets for the food that we eat in Pennsyl vania. —DR. MARTIN G. BRUMBAUGH. 1 LLTTE.RSTOTHE EDITOR I NOT A POLITICAL. SPEECH To the Editor of the Telegraph: Dr. Martin G.

IUOAL PENROKK-PAIjMER ISSUE [Philadelphia Bulletin.] M. Hampton Todd, who, as a mem ber of the administration of Governor Stuart, was one of the best Attorneys- General that Pennsylvania has had in the course of many years, expresses, in substance, the opinion that Senator Penrose not only possesses the knowl edge and capacity which entitle him to re-election, but that his identification with the principles of his party as they have been and as they are, gives him a distinctive position in the eye of the State. Mr. Todd goes to the nub of the paramount and essential question in the campaign of 1914 when he says: "Indeed, the contest between Mr. Penrose and Mr. Palmer should be narrowed down to party lines, and every citizen should make his allgn ment as he favors' the principles of these respective parties. "Mr. Palmer stands for relative free trade. "Mr. Penrose stands for protection for American industries and American waßes with the Incident of American ways of living and American com fortable homes." The ex-Attorney-General is an ex cellent representative of the quiet, thoughtful and conservative men In his party, and when he bases the Pennsylvania issue of this year on broad national ground as a fight be tween parties, and not between lead ers or persons, he voices the con trolling thought to-day In the minds of a vast majority of Pennsylvantans of his own type.

AN OliD-FASinONED VIEW 1 From the New York Sun] Minority Leader Mann is quite old fasioned in his views on business and national prosperity. He lives under the old delusion that It was the open field and freedom of individual enter prise that peopled the wilds, built the cities, bound the country together with railroads and filled the banks and the savings banks with the money of millionaires and day laborers. He has not caught the new evangel of prog ress which proclaims that prosperity can only be achieved by those who have their hands and feet tied, that individual enterprise is a national peril and that wealth can be created by the suppression of profits, Mr. Mann is out of fashion. Perhaps if he could go to sleep for twenty-five years he might find a people, educated by experience, more ready to hearken to him.
