Bell Private Branch Exchange No. 2040. United Business Office, 203. Editorial Room 586. Job Dept. 20& THURSDAY EVENING, OCT. 22 REMOVING BURDENS WITH sublime nerve and a characteristic disregard for facts, the Patriot this morn ing tells its readers in capital tetters that the Underwood tariff has 'shifted the burden" from the shoul 3ers of the weak to those of the itrong. How? Are prices not higher now than they ivere under the Republican tariff? Has not the cost of living advanced since the election of a Democrat to the Presidency? Is there not more idleness and poverty in the country to-day than at any time since the Democratic party last held the reins of govern ment? Have not the Democrats added to the cost of government by millions of new "pork barrel" appropriations? Are they not now about to levy di rect taxes on the people to a sum far In excess of any possible saving on the tariff? Will the Patriot kindly mention just one lonely instance of a burden lifted from the shoulders of the consumer— not a theoretical, psychological bur den, but one the removal of which would make life easier and pleasanter for him? About'tbe only burden of which the Democrats have relieved the working man, so far as we have been able to ascertain, is the necessity of getting up early every morning to go to work. The proposition to extend the Front street boulevard through the culvert in the neighborhood of the Elliott-Fisher Typewriter Works, so as to make an entrance to the parkway at theCameron extension, is practical and will add much to the general plan of an oval around the city. It would also elimi nate any railroad grade crossing. PARKS AS A CITY ASSET THE Telegraph is indebted to Albert Held, a member of the Board of Park Commissioners of Spokane, Washington, for an extremely ornate and Interesting illus trated report on the parks of that city. Mr. Held is an architect of excellent reputation, who is also devoted to civic improvement. He was a member of the Boston Chamber of Commerce party in its tour of Europe and is naturally proud of the fine showing of his own city. Spokane has done admirably In the creation of a great park system and in the location of playgrounds. Those who remember Spokane Falls in 1889 as a city of tents and shacks, after a fire which practically wiped out the incipient metropolis of eastern Washington, can hardly realize, look ing over the pictures of its surpassing scenery, its parks and other decora tive features, what wonders have been wrought by the enterprising and pub lic-spirited men who have done so well in so short a time. With a popula tion of 19,222 in 1890, the ctty has grown to a modern municipality of 120,194 souls, with all the modern conveniences of the most up-to-date community. It is a real pleasure to gather from this report of a city's building the in spiration of a civic pride that seems to have permeated every section of the community. Two of the most dis tinguished landscape architects of the United States were employed at Spo kane just as Harrisburg employed an equally distinguished landscape de signer to construct its parks and park ways. Any city that is now Improving must depend upon the advice of those who have made a thorough study of the problems involved. The old idea that anybody could lay out a park for a city has been abandoned. It is notable that the city of Spo kane adopted a new city charter in 1910, providing for the commission form of government, but retaining the Board of Park Commissioners as an independent body, not subject to the control of the general city adminis tration. A year later the citizens of Spokane further expressed their ap proval of the work of their Park Com mission by voting a park bond Issue of $1,000,000 for the extension and Improvement of Spokane's parks, playgrounds and parkway system. THURSDAY EVENING, HAKRISBURG TELEGRAPH OCTOBER 22, 1914. Under this loan the park area has been • increased to 1,934 acres. As in Har | risburg, Spokane has added largely jto its park system through the dona ! tlon of lands by public-spirited citizens. It is Interesting to note also that much has been done in the Western city in the way of providing for future de velopment in the same manner that is now proposed by our own City Plan ning Commission. It is no longer the rule to watt until the need is at hand before proper street lines and grades and other details are arranged. These matters are now regarded as a preliml- I nary to the development of later I years. j Other cities are working along the linee of Harrlsburg and Spokane and It is with some gratification that the people of Harrlsburg learn from time to time of the adoption elsewhere of the Harrlsburg plan of development, not, only in its park system, but In other features of civic growth and Im provement. LOOKING TO US ALL Europe is looking toward America to succor the sick and wounded and to provide food for the homeless in the war zone, and now comes a cry from China that thousands are on the verge of starvation there and that the benevo lence of the good people of the United States alone can save them. Floods have wrought tremendous damage. The consul general's report reads: Many millions in distress will need help until the next harvests. i In many places whole villages have been blotted out. The loss of life may never be known, but the suf fering is appalling. This is only the beginning. Help is needed now. Delay cannot be long if these peo ple are to be saved. As citizens of a Christian nation we hear this appeal in behalf of those facing a more terrible situation, so far as the immediate loss of life is con cerned, than the people of the na tions in the great war. The agonies of starvation widely eclipse those oc casioned by the worst of modern war fare. The attention of our National Red Cross Society is occupied in seek- | ing to mitigate something of the hor rors of the sufferers In Europe. It is not necessary that we relax our ef forts at making the situation there less horrible. Our first duty is to help make the relief measures there suc cessful. On the other hand, to save the situation in China will require such a relatively small effort and the result will be so far-reaching in the advance for the elimination of famine in China that inaction must remain inexcusable on the part of those who might con tribute funds. What shall the reply to the cry of the famine be? America has never closed her eyes to a situa tion like this and it is gratifying to note that the Christian Herald, of New York, has undertaken to raise the needed relief funds. PALMER AND THE TARIFF EC. HERNDON, of Pottsville, has pointed out the folly of Con # gressman Palmer's assertion "that the tariff is no longer an issue in this campaign because the war in Europe has put an end to it." As a champion of a tariff "which has not one atom of protection in it," Palmer rejoices over the fact that a war in Europe has temporarily given us a variety of protection over which the free trade party has no control and he hopes that this may result In the Democrats escaping the disappro val of the voters In November. It is a vain hope, for If even this temporary, artificial protection is wel come, much as we regret the cause of it, how much more desirous are we of re-establishing a protection of our own which may be depended upon to en dure not for a few weeks or a few months, but throughout the incum bency of the majority party. It is not comfortable to think that the moment these foreign countries turn their at tention from slaughter to the ordinary pursuits of mankind they will be in a position to rob us of our home markets as they were doing prior to August first. The protection to which Mr. Palmer refers and for which he is so sincerely thankful, good free-trader that he is, is precisely the same kind of protec tion that we enjoyed during the Napo leonic wars. It maintained prosperity in the United States only so long as Napoleon was on the rampage. When he was safely landed at St. Helena and when the European peoples went back to work they quickly took away from us everything that we had gained, even to the mercantile supremacy which we considered BO impregnable that it would no longer need the protection of our government. On each and every occasion when withdrawal of protec tion, whether it was protection by tariff or whatever form it might take has been attempted, national disaster has followed. ' To-morrow will be Arbor Day. Have you arranged to plant at least one tree? Think of that tree which was planted for you years ago and reciprocate. Plant one in honor of your father or your mother or some loved one. You could do nothing better than that. ESCAPING THE STONE PILE JUDGING from the reports of pris oners escaping from the alms house stone pile for parts unknown, the workhouse is having the effect desired —it is driving the vagrant class to other parts of the State or away from the State altogether. It is doubtful whether anything was ever instituted in Dauphin county that will so effectively rid the community of undesirables. About a week on the Job with a heavy sledge hammer and the average tramp longs to hit the pike never to return. And the vagrants have been hitting it quite rapidly, according to reports. Within a week five gentlemen of enforced Industry have once more longed so badly to be gentlemen of leisure that they slipped away from their guard and dis appeared from this section of the country! Since it doesn't cost the county any thing to have them go away, probably It's a good thing to let the guard wink at their escape. 1 EVENING CHAT I Samuel B. Rambo. supeirntendent of the State's ground!, buildings and property, fixed and portable, Is noth ing If not economical. For some time Mr. Rambo has been wondering what to do about the great glass ana nlbkel cases that contained the battleflags when they were placed in the' State Museum. It has become necessary to remove them, primarily because they are not needed now and secondarily, because room must be made to re store the great paintings. Mr. Rambo looked the case 6 over carefully and made a calculation what they were worth. Then the people who have an eye on old property looked them over, too. Mr. Rambo said nothing and was finally asked what he was going to do about them, the idea being that he would decree the big cases for the junk sale. Nothing was doing. The cases, it appears, are made of fine heavy glass and the metal end is finely nickeled. The cases cost a lot of money and the superintendent figured out that the State would be a loser. So he shipped them out to the new State arsenal where they will be placed In one of the storerooms and probably be used for exhibition of uniforms. The State has a valuable collection of uniforms showing how its soldiers looked and the cases will do for that to a T. Speaking of the new arsenal it will soon be ready for the roofing over of the first floor until the Legislature provides enough cash to complete it. The arsenal was designed to cost about $90,000, care being taken that it should not only be fireproof but large enough for years to come. But the lawmakers only gave $40,000 and the next Legislature will have to pro vide the rest. The State let a con tract for a cellar and first story and the window frames are being set. As soon as Father Penn gives the money the State will let another contract and the building will be continued. People here will be glad to learn that the English tower of the arsenal, one of the finest types, of its kind anywhere, will be retained. Streams in Cumberland, Perry and Dauphin counties which have not known a trout for a generation have a number of the small gamy fish this year as a result of the "planting" by the State Department of Fisheries. Some of the "planting" was done un der the direct supervision of men con nected with the department and in other instances sportsmen took charge of the work. The reports show that in every stream. where the fish were placed there are some mighty lively fish this Fall, indicating that a com paratively small number of those put out died. In years gone by when trout about as big as a needle were dumped Into the water a large per centage were either made to serve as dinners for larger fish or else died from the numerous causes that af flict fish life. They never reached maturity anyway. Now, It Is differ ent. The fish planted are all a year or so old and can take care of them selves in the daily warfare of the trout stream. The messenger force of the Postal Telegraph Cable Company are ■ look ing over their shoulders at the mer curies of the Western Union. The an nual competition in uniforms Is on. The average messenger's uniform lasts a year. The companies provide them at different times and the way the youngsters swagger around when they don their "new suits" provides a lot of fun. More m%n prominent in the affairs of Pennsylvania were in Harrlsburg yesterday than for a long time. In fact, not since the Legislature have so many men who figure in affairs been here. This was due to the fact that the Public Service Commission and Board of Pardons were holding hear ings and various other gatherings were on which brought men here. Over twenty members of the last Leg islature were in the ctty. One of the most beautiful displays of dahlias in this vicinity Is in the yard of C. C, Cranford, of West Fair view. Mr. Cranford had so many of the flowers that he clipped from the stalks more than 400 blooms in their prime for use in decorating the Colo nial Counry clubhouse for the Ro tary Qlub dinner Tuesday evening and left .many blossoms and buds un touched. Another beautiful collection of Fall flowers is to be found at the residence of J. Horace McFarland, in Bellevue Park, and W. R. McCord, who lives near by, also has some fine beds of dahlias. The dahlias are blooming much later than usual this year. The weather has been ideal for them and the absence of killing frosts has made it possible to leave the stalks in the ground longer than usual. About the last place anyone would expect to see a Capitol Park squirrel would be on the city's island. Yet, there is a family of squirrels living in contentment in a large tree near the filter plant. The squirrels are to be seen toamlng about the island, but what they find to live on is a ques tion. 1 WELL KNOWN PEOPLE 1 —Captain H. F. McFeely, U. S.

I That Hnrrlsburg makes some of the largest waterwheels in the country? DR. BRUMBAUGH'S STAND [Philadelphia Public Ledger] It is a common experience of politi cal campaigns to find the candidates taking refuge behind shuffling equivo cations. This Doctor Brumbaugh has resolutely declined to do. He comes out into the open and speaks from the shoulder, and leaves none who hears him in doubt where he stands. Through ail his campaign speeches runs the sincere purpose to take the people Into his confidence as to what he Intends to do when he Is made Governor. He refuses to be side tracked into the kind of epithetlc con troversy which may have Its noisy ef fect for the moment in applause and laughter, but neither molds the con victions nor wins the votes of the so ber, silent, thinking portion of the electorate. Jhe voter wants facts, not personalities. The paramount Issue Is not the suc cess of a man, nor even the lift of a party, but the welfare of the State. It Is of vital concern to choose for Governor one who thinks right, and therefore will act right In the settle ment of grave pending problems af fecting the citizens Individually and collectively. M'COfIMICK PINS ROPE Oil COLONEL Democratic Machine Bosses Realize That Their Campaign Has Gone on the Rocks MORRIS GIVES FORTH A WAIL Republicans Sweeping the State in the Campaign That Will End in Next Ten Days The only hope of Vance C. McCor mlck Is pinned to Theodore Roose velt. The best financed, best organ ized, best planned campaign ever waged by the Democrats of Pennsyl vania has gone to smash and the badly rattled nominee for Governor, who has shown that he is beaten by his virulent and characteristic abuse of his oppo nent. has turned from Bill Fiinn to the Colonel. The Democratic bosses realize that there is no earthly hope of electing Palmer and that the rest of the Democratic State ticket Is with out a ghost of a show to win. Around the Democratic State windmill it Is apparent that all hopes are placed on Roosevelt being able to turn the tide for McCormick. But there, men feel, like McCormick must, that there is a good bit of difference between the Colonel as a candidate and as advo cate of a man who has not the united support of his own party and to whom money means nothing when he has an object to attain. It took President Wilson's letter to eliminate Palmer as a factor in the race and the very same support is go ing to make the task of Theodore Roosevelt to aid Vance McCormick doubly onerous. McCormlck declares he stands by Wilson, whom Roosevelt denounces; McCormlck runs with Pal mer, whom Roosevelt speaks against in advocating Pinchot, and McCormick stands for the quintessence of machine rule, against which Roosevelt is ar rayed, to use his own words. Democratic State bosses are whis tling to keep up courage and issuing absurd claims, asserting that counties which have been rock ribbed Repub lican and wherein Democrats are di vided. like Erie; where there are idle mills, like Allegheny, and where Brum baugh Is known and loved, like Blair, will go Democratic. It is all up to Roosevelt and he is going to spend just ninety minutes in Vance McCormick's home town. Democratic State Chairman Roland S. Morris has unbosomed himself of a statement which, owing to the fact that he did not furnish a diagram. Is not well Morris Puts understood by Dauphin Out Startler and Cumberland Demo for Party crats. Mr. Morris' state ment was variously in terpreted as a way to prepare Democrats for bad news from ,the firing line or else a plea for cash. He stated that if political organization was the only factor, Penrose would win, but he insisted that the campaign is not being waged along party lines. He said the "free, the unbuyable, the thoughtful and the patriotic voters of the State" were going to do something, which they undoubtedly are as they realize that an individual of McCor mick's destructive tendencies is the very worst man to elect Governor in the present times. Then Morris makes confession of the collapse of the cratic party's campaign in these words, which sound queer coming from the man who is rattling around in the chair once held by James Kerr, W. F. Harrlty, James Madison Guffey and other Democratic fighters: "We want to prove ourselves In truth the Demo cratic party with a small 'd' by putting our case squarely up to the average voter, sure that he cares more for patriotism and for Pennsylvania than for any party name or allegiance." Men active in the affairs of the Central Democratic Club are rejoic ing over the chance offered by the parade at Reading to show off the new high hats. The club will have Club Will the same style of hats Parade In this year and the plans Big Style call for some elaborate marching, intricate fig ures, like the forecasts being made at the Democratic windmill on Mc- Cormick election totals. The mem bers of the club are entirely willing to spend the money which might have been spent on the pilgrimage to Stroudsburg in red fire, but they do not like the letters sent out demand ing contributions and asking some men if they will not double what thfey gave. POLITICAL SIDELIGHTS —Dr. Brumbaugh is In Westmore land county to-day. —Lewis and McCormick, according to the Philadelphia Record, found Plain Letters by a Plain Man Messrs. Vance C. McCormick and A. Mitchell Palmer, Gentlemen: One plank of the Baltimore plat form of 1912 was: "The law pertaining to the civil service should be honestly and rigidly enforced to the end that merit and ability shall lio tho standard of appointment and promotion rather than ser vice rendered to a political Candidate Wilson solemnly as sured the nation that, "Our plat form is not molasses to catch Hies. It means what it says. It is the utterance of earnest and honest men." How has the pledge above given been observed? Has it been kept, or has It been broken just as the other planks of this platform, the firomlees of which were "not mo asses to catch flies?" Woodrow Wilson, a3 a Princeton professor, was an official of the National Civil Service Reform League, and wrote glowing eulogies upon the be&utles and benefits of civil service. Woodrow Wilson, as President of tho United (States, on October 23, 1913, signed a deficiency appropria tion bill which contained as a rider a provision which exempted all deputy collectors of Internal reve nue and all deputy United States marshals from the operations of the civil service law. And then began the wild scramble for these places, which has been going on ever since. Tried and competent officials were hurriedly replaced by new men, not on "the standard of merit or ability," but of ".service rendered to a political party." Perhaps Woodrow Wilson, the President, has forgotten to read the writings of Woodrow Wilson, the private citizen. Possibly, after all, that Balti more platform was "molasses to catch flies." In signing the bill mentioned, President Wilson gave the first de structive blow to civil service re form that It had received since ite institution, in 1883, as a feature of our Government. Successive Presidents have taken advantage of the discretion which the law affords to broaden and widen the scope of civil service.

THE RISING TIDE OF EXPORTS [From the New York Sun] After all, the war cloud may prove to have a silver lining, or rather a golden ofle. The latest developments in the business and financial situation are far different from what the pessi mists were predicting only a week or two ago. All talk of stagnation in our export trade has ceased and alarm over the settlement of our debts to Europe is disappearing as millions of credits are transferred to New York to pay for the huge purchases that England, France, Germany and Russia are making or planning to make here. The new buying movement affects a great variety of interests. Except cot ton, which so far remains in a class by itself, all forms of rural industry are benefited. September's shipments of wheat, flour, corn and kindred products were two and a half times as A Home Music in it is usually a delightful place where the family likes to linger, and the friends like to come.
