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
.

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.

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.

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.

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"

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEM
[From the Altoona Tribune.]
The Republican candidate for Gover
nor did not consult with any political
leader when he determined to be a can
didate. although there would have been
no harm in it had he done so. 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. There's not much deference
to "the people" in that.
