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.

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.

in making speeches is to compass :he

indictment of the District Attorney is
that he accepted a Tammanv nomina

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

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

mbney is going to finance the Colonel's
tour of Pennsylvania.

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.

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

A PROGRAM OF SERVICE
1 want to see Pennsylvania so splen
didly administered that no man, even
in the heat of controversy, will dare
to speak ill of this great State of ours
and lie about it and besmirch its fair
name. I want the State in its whole
administration of its affairs to reflect
the finest quality of the best people
of Pennsylvania, so that it must be
said of us that we have learned the
fine, art of choosing our best men to
serve us in our public affairs. That
will come about, gentlemen, just as
soon as all of us, regardless of our
party affiliations, whether Democrats,
Progressives or Republicans, stand to
gether like men for Pennsylvania. Tt
is with that thought, and that thought
alone, that I speak to you to-night,
and it is to that program of service
that 1 plead for your support in the
election next November.
—DP. MARTIN G. BRUMBAUGH.

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.
