Bell Private Branch Exchange No. 2040. United Business Office, 20S. Editorial Room 685. Job Dept. 201 WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCT. 14 TORONTO VISITORS AMONG the strangers within our gates to-day Is a representative d legation of Toronto munici pal officials. They have come to Harrisbtirg, as to other cities, to learn something of municipal man agement and our way of doing things. Toronto Is about to establish the commission form of government. It is] natural that these officials should want to learn everything possible concern ing the operation of the new system. We of Harrisburg have not proceeded far enough alon-r the way to have demonstrated the value of the new ■ system of municipal government, but it is only fair to say that this city v developed so well under the former system that the people of Harrisburg accepted the commission plan as a pa tient who has medicine forced down his throat. It Is a little too early to determine whether it is a success or failure. It is a grave question, how ever. whether the old system was not superior in many ways. J In the last analysis, municipal. State and national government de pends not so much upon the system as upon the personnel of those chosen to administer the government. Harris hurg was peculiarly fortunate in the interpretation of the laws under which the old system was administered, in that our local officials took advantage of their powers and functions in a way that those of few other cities did. We advanced through the successful administration of our several depart ments because of the public spirit of our people and the co-operation of all classes. We trust that our distinguished visitors may have a delightful so journ here and that they will take away with them a line impression of one of the most progressive and sub stantial cities on the Eastern sea board. Toronto is no mean city and ,r• it is an honor to have the represen tatives of that splendid municipality across the Northern border with us even for a feW hours. The Wilson administration is nothing If nut Inconsistent The printing presses at Washington that are now busy printing "peace postage stamps" are being run overtime in order that they may be ready to run off in the next few weeks a large quantity of Democratic "war tax" stamps. The Idea of following an Issue of "peace" stamps with an edition of "war tax" stamps is original with the Democrats. We Confess that the notion never en tered the heads of the Republicans when they were in power. SOUTH CALLS FOR HELP f"|-*HOSE Southern Democrats who I < were so eager to striko down the protective tariff are now crying for help from every other section of the country because their cotton crop finds no purchasers. Rep resentative Henry, of Texas, recently wrote to the Secretary of the Treas ury, declaring that the custodian of the government funds had the "In disputable" right to deposit "several hundred million dollars in Southern banks to be loaned directly to the cot ton producers." He followed this with another letter to Secretary McAdoo, who has also developed some peeuliar financial Ideas, in which he declared that "you must issue Treasury notes or sell Panama Canal bonds, or other bonds, in order to get this money Into the hands of the producers." Of course, the Secretary of the Treasury had to break the news~to Mr. Henry that such action on his part would mean disaster in the end, but the Texas statesman is still not satis fied and insists that the public moneys, to the extent of any number of mil lions of dollars, should he handled in such a way as to save the cotton crop from sacrifice and "avert the calamity now overhanging the South from the paralyzed market." Mr. Henry Is one of those states men who believe that his own par ticular section is the only part of the country deserving consideration. Other Southern gentlemen In Congress are insisting that individuals in the North should buy a hale or more of ,cotton to save the cotton producers in . WEDNESDAY EVENING, . HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH OCTOBER 14, 1914. the South, but they seem to have lost | sight of the fact that the Northern manufacturers of steel and the pro | ducers of wheat and other business ! men .are also in trouble, yet they have I not had the nerve to call upon the I people of the South to buy a carload i of'steel rails or a few bushels of wheat to save them from a depressed ' i market. To be sure, the financial transac -1 tion In which the Secretary of the i Treasury figured in the interests of Ills j native Stato of Tennessee has natur 'ally led other Southern statesmen to \ believe that the national Treasury Is a sort of horn of plenty into which j all could reach and draw forth a , never-ending supply of cash. :; It was inevitable that Secretary | McAdoo's conduct in the Tennessee loan matter should involve him in all | kinds of serious difficulties. The ■ Palmer-Underwood tariff law, how ' ever, has caused thousands of business I men in the North and West all kinds lof trouble and they are now feeling I in their own section the same strain | that they helped impose upon other I parts of the country. I Those hand-picked candidates of the I White House who have attempted to | drag the religious and temperance or ! ganlzations of Pennsylvania into a i partisan campaign are already realiz ! ing their colossal blunder. Instead of ;j responding to their suggestions and i preaching sermons for their benefit the i preachers and spiritual leaders of the ; State should unite in an overwhelming j protest against this sort of campaign. GIVING I l ' T is gratifying to note the readiness with which many Harrisburg peo ple of means have responded to the call of the Y. W. C. A. management for assistance in furnishing the handsome and commodious new build ing at the corner of Fourth and Wal nut streets, headed by the generous contribution of a memorial hall by the John Y. Boyd family. Not nearly all the money necessary for the proper equipment of the new structure has . been donated, but the start that has been made indicates a successful con . elusion of the campaign. "Give as the Lord has prospered thee" is not new advice, but it is as good to-day as when first uttered. The man or the woman who has made his or her fortune in Harrisburg, whose money is Invested here, pr the resi dent who has means and to spare owes : to the city a share of his or her in dividual prosperity. Individual for tunes are to be commended only as their possessors know now to properly exercise their stewardship. There has been in the past in this and other cities all too much hoarding of private possessions at the expense of the com munity. It is encouraging to note the 1 change in sentiment that is taking place. May the Boyd gift and those others that have marked the most re cent progress of the Young Women's Christian Association toward taking the place of influence it should have in the community be followed by oth ers to meet the many and growing needs of the city. There may come at least one good thing out of the European conflict—a restoration of the American protective tariff. Already the fallacy of the i Democratic theory of free trade has | been demonstrated at the cost of all j the people. There seems to be no doubt j had the protective tariff been in force ] at the time of the outbreak in Europe ! we should not now be experiencing the dire results of Democratic experiment. THE SUBMARINE S' CORE another for the submarine. This time it is a Russian cruiser that has succumbed to the sting of the little hornet of the sea. It ! becomes more and more evident that |as a weapon of effective warfare the i submarine is more to be feared than | the much vaunted bomb-dropping , aeroplane or Zeppelin. Evidently the i navy of the future must depend quite las much on the submarine as on its cruisers or battleships. The difference in cost is so great that a whole fleet of under water craft can bo constructed for the price of one j dreadnaught and it would seem the i part of economy as well as wisdom, i therefore, for our naval department to ; give thought to this latest piece of i modern mechanism, especially since jour problem is one largely.of coast de | fense, a work for which the submarine jis especially adapted. ! Even the gnat or mosquito will com i pel an outburst occasionally. Dr. Brum ! baugh may be pardoned for his slap at i the buzzing little insects of the oppo ' sition. Ol'lt NEXT GOVERNOR DR. MARTIN G. BRUMBAUGH entered Bedford this week somewhat like a conquering hero. He was on familiar soil, iOn his way to the county seat he passed through Marklesburg and saw i the old h'ome w'here his father and j mother lived, and all along the way ; hundreds of men boarded the train jand accompanied him to Bedford, his personal escort reaching over 800. Many of the men who boarded the train were compelled to stand in the aisles for more than an hour. It was ' a great tribute to a popular Pennsyl vanian—our next Governor. England has recently placed an em bargo on wool which ought to be an ob ject lesson for the American free traders. The audiences at the Republican meetings throughout the county are larger than ever before. Coming events cast their shadows before. i ' Candidate Martin did not speak at a Washington-Democratic rally In Ober ' lin last evening, for the reason that not even the chairman scheduled for the . meeting showed up. Doctor's say baked beans are not good for the system—but look at Boston. ' Connie Mack is said to have decided ' that his team needs a couple of new pitchers—how about a few batters, while he is about it. i~EVENiNC CHAT > Probably one of the oddest sights seen in many a day was presented at tiie scene of the big fire in the Magyar section of Steelton yesterday afternoon and if the numerous people rooting about In the ruins of the four houses did not have divining rods It was be cause no one had suggested them. 1 hey appeared to be using everything else. The houses were occupied by foreigners and some of them had ac cumulations of months in the way of cash. They had saved and scrimped to get money and some of them were waiting lor the war to end to get home again. One man lost S3OO in gold and others lost smaller sums, but in almost every case the hoards reported lost e r® ,' n metal. Paper money is all right lor the foreigner to carry around 0r it . i? ® to the I>ost offlce to deposit witn l_ nele Sam, but .when It comes to putting back the stack in the trunk or the box it's the gold and silver that goes in. The tire spread so rapidly tnat some of these men were unable to do more than save themselves and they had to allow their money to go with their clothing. The ruins were barely cool yesterday morning before there were bands of men. women and children walking over the cinders and charred wood and turning over things hunting the money. The men who lost the money were on the job before the embers had cooled and they were keeping sharp eyes on the other people. - , i • e f l ''nate was that about every thing in the way of building material that was left and all of the debris had been turned over six times. The removal of the decorations used on the streets for the State firemen was watched with interest yesterday by numbers of people and the scien tific manner in which the "column*" disappeared and were folded up and carted off impressed everyone. The uniformity of the street decorations and the general attractiveness of the scheme were much commended, but the speed with which things dis appeared was an eye opener. Market street was cleared in less time than the average man thought a block could be taken of. A West Shore man is wondering what on earth possessed a thief to take a basket of grapes, six bananas and an orange and leave everything else, ihe thief got into the house bv an ingenious method and did not leave any marks. He turned everything °, v f r ; but he passed up a roasted chicken, some roasted potatoes, two pies, a couple of slices of tine cheese, three bottles of beer und some ham. He took the grapes, the bananas and the orange and he sat on the swing on the front porch and ate them. Some funny scenes were witnessed after the close of the final game of tue world's series yesterday. One man Ld another into a cigar store and received a box of fine cigars, while the loser gravely handed to a com panion a five-dollar gold piece which he had lost when he bet that he would win his bet. Another man lost a mile age book which he had bought just before the advance in rates went into effect. A tailor got an order for a suit from another man who also bemoaned If"? . aclt ™ lhllt hfl(1 t0 hu >' theater tickets.

Krcider has a large family and as he does not get home very much because of the long long session of Congress there is a de mand for his company by them when he does come home. For some time he has been promising to take a Sat urday afternoon off and to take a ride ■with ice ereain trimmings. Saturdav was the day fixed, but it happened that the congressman was drafted to make a speech at the Penbrook meet ing. It looked as though the young Kreiders were going to lose, but finallv the congressman bundled some of the family into an automobile and took them to Penbrook. sending them to a Place for ice cream while he made his speech.

NOT THE TOOL OF LIQUOR INTER ESTS [From tho Philadelphia Public Ledger.] Whoever doubts Doctor Brumbaugh's position on the temperance question discredits his own intelligence. Doctor Brumbaugh has made his views so plain that a child can understand them. A few weeks ago he explicitly stated that he favored local option, that he would urge the Legislature to pass a local option bill, that if it were pass ed he would sign it. There was no quibble,.no equivoca tion, no conditions whatsoever. He did not say that it must be this kind of local option or that kind, or that it must make the county or the township or the Oongressionul district the unit. He let it be known that l)e believes in local option and that his record as a friend of temperance is as long as his life. His whole life lias been devoted to the training of children and to the production of good and worthy citizens through the public school system. suggestion that he is the tool of the liquor interests is preposterous, an Insult to him and his supporters. His record is as clean as McCormick's, his will is as strong, and his lifelong af filiations have been such as to make him more hostile to the saloon than any other man running lor office in the State.

THAT'S BRUMBAUGH SOUTHERiy DEMOCRAT IS II CHARGE HERE Pennsylvania Is Not Good Enough For Palmer-McCormick Ma chine Committee AN UNDERWOOr HENCHMAN Georgia Politics For the Keystone State; Shenk Hands One to Strain Any headquarters of a Democratic State committee is an interesting place and the headquarters of such a well-lubricated machine as the pres ent Democratic State committee is not only Interesting but exciting. The committee has a very competent staff of officials and a chairman who can go wrong in his statements and pre dictions as often as could bo desired by his opponents. Lately, however, there have been some additions to the staff, among them a Georgian by name of the Colquitt, who is an attache of the House Committee on Ways und Means of which A. Mitchell Palmer, the embarrassed Democratic nominee for Senator, is a member when he gets to Washington, which is seldom. Mr. Colquitt is one of the cogs of the Underwood machine in Georgia and a very efflpient man in politics of the southern t> pe, which according to some persons, are being introduced into Pennsylvania. The presence of Mr. Colquitt, who is stated by a humorist, to be "spending a well-earned vacation here, helping out a dear friend wherever he can," is another indication of the paternal interest the national administration, headed by a Jerseyman and bossed by southerners, is taking in the affairs of the sovereign State of Pennsylvania. The Patriot used to be one of the leaders in the chorus for home rule. Another gentleman often seen about the windmill of the Democratic State machine Is John D. Strain who is secretary of the Inde- pendent Republican corn- Strain mittee or something like Is Also that when he gets into Arouml one of the smaller of fices In the Kunlcel build- ing. Mr. Strain spends most of his time issuing statements and letters, but thus far he has not made public the names of the men who comprise the committee, for which he works, nor has he indicated whence comes the funds for his propaganda. However, he is appar ently well known around the Demo cratic State headquarters, and could save a lot of time If he would move his desk over there. Speaking of Strain it is interesting to give a copy of a letter sent to him by H. H. Shenk. of Annville, who was addressed in the in terest of the gang headed by Strain. Mr. Strain (Jets Shenk appears to have Backhander some ideas not friendly From Shenk to the ambitious young secretary of the com mittee with the high sounding title. This is what he wrote: "I have your circular attacking Dr. Brumbaugh and I beg of you to con tinue sending these attacks as they may be issueel from time to time, if you wish me to work all the harder for the distinguished educator. I had intended to take no active part in this campaign, but when a group of com paratively unknown men issue a cir cular such as the one recently issued in which the character and even the honor of Pennsylvania's foremost edu cator and preacher of moral righteous ness—one who best personiiies the moral progress of this State—is be smirched, it is time for all decent citizens to arise in their might and by word and vote smite the combination that descends to the lowest level of political misrepresentation, if not of blackguardism. "To this there can be but one re sult: Dr. Brumbaugh will be elected by an overwhelming majority, a ma jority swelled by your misrepresenta tions and the people knowing that Dr. Brumbaugh is not capable of dissimu lation. knowing that he is no Dr. Jekell and Mr. Hyde, will believe the attacks upon Penrose to be equally false and will elect him. "On with your pamphlet. It is the best possible method of swelling Brumbaugh majority. The people of Pennsylvania have some discernment of what constitutes worth and fair ness." PREACHERS AND BRUMBAUGH Edward Newton Haag, writing to tfre Philadelphia Public Ledger, makes this pertinent comment on a recent ministerial association's action: "Dr. Thomas W. McKenty was ab solutely right when, in addresssing the Methodist Preachers' Association, he said it was 'improper to convert a preachers' meeting into a political meeting, no matter what the virtues of the issues involved.' Tho indorse ment of Vance P. McCormick for Gov ernor in preference to Martin G. Brumbaugh is calculated to make countless thousands of even ordinary Methodist laymen throughout Penn sylvania not only smile, but laugh outright. Dr. McKenty was absolute ly right when he said it does not rep resent the sentiment of the Methodist people, and as such its adoption by the ministers isn't either wise, con sistent or even good politics. "It is almost a crime committed in the name of religion to take such a step at this time, for it conveys the impression to the ordinary layman that mere politics are permitted to actuate these ministers to a point where, intentionally or foolishly, they permit themselves to be used as blind tools to strike at.one who is the equal of any of them, no matter from what standpoint considered. Dr. Brum baugh has never failed to stand up boldly to defend the Christian faith, and his strong and Lincoln-like pres ence and eloquent voice have countless times been found and heard in Metho dist churches throughout the State. He has never failed to sacrifice self and respond when it was possible for him to do so. "The man who could defeat Dr. Brumbaugh for Governor this Fall, in my humble opinion, hasn't been born yet. The masses know him and he need not fear the classes, who do themselves the greatest injustice by opposing him, for it is a rare privi lege to support such an upright, no ble man for this high offlce. He la his own best platform. If you can't trust Dr. Brumbaugh to do his Chris tion and civic duty, surely you .can't trust any one—not even tho preachers who struck at him when he had his ! back turned. "Action like this is we'! calculated to vex one and makt hln: ask whether It is always elt'her wise or proper to follow such blind or foolish attempted leadership as was shown in the adoption, after brief consideration and discussion, of the resolution re ferred to. Vote for Dr. Brumbaugh, the capable, straightforward Chris tian gentlemanl" I - 1 <>♦ ~ xx «■♦ ♦♦ ♦-> ♦* S 3 ♦♦ I will be here till Saturday night, the 17th.

He pre pared a platform and upon that plat form he appealed to tho Republican rank and tile. 253,000 of whom voted for him on primary day. They nominat ed him. At the same primary both, the Democratic nnd the Progressive parties nominated candidates who, had been se lected before. The Democratic candi dates were named at Washington in a conference wherein the President took part. The Progressive ticket was se lected by the bosses of that organiza tion. Later on the Progressive nomi nee for Governor withdrew and now the members of that organization are expected to obey the whims of their leaders and vote for the Democratic candidate.
