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.

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

—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. It
was fostered by Harrison, Cl«v«-
negative points in Brumbaugh-In their
speeches at Pittsburgh yesterday. They
don't know him.
—lf as McCormlck says there are
faults In the schools, Brumbaugh is
the very man to correct them.
—Roland Morris is out in Phila
delphia with a statement that Pal
mer is a friend of business. Must be
getting scared.
—McCormlck might start his "clean
up" at Democratic State headquar
ters, taking tile "fiscal agent" for in
stance.
—The Delaware county Prohibition
committee last night refused to en
dorse local option candidates and
stuck to their own nominees.
—McCormlck and his crew are in
Philadelphia for a four-day tour.
—William Draper Lewis Is to speak
In Waynesboro Saturday. Probably to
address Roosevelt Progressives.
—Governor Tener plans a vigorous
speech for Pittsburgh next week.
—Not much is being said about the
Highway Department since Dr. Brum
baugh suggested that if there is any
thing wrong the fiscal officers should
find it. . •
—The Philadelphia Bulletin appears
to think that the Colonel won't help |
much in his tour of the State.
—Duncannon is a good place for
the Bull Moosers to go to meet the
Colonel. The mills there have been
hit by the tariff for which McCormlck
stands. _
—Pinchot got a frost In West Ches

ful, but has no figures.
—John R. McLean, Jr., an inde

he say 3 he will not stand for McCor

—Billy Berry is out again in Phila

business to fall off so much that he
has time to spare from the customs.
—The Civil Service Reform Asso
ciation says in a statement that Mc-
Cormick and Brumbaugh stand for
the same thing in State civil service.

To-day I talked to a merchant,
I know he a Democrat Is,
And as we were talking I asked him
This question, "Say, how is your biz?"
He looked In my eyes for a moment.
And in Ills chair silently sat.
Then said. "E're I answer your ques

Tell me, are you a Democrat?"
I'm not, though I told him I am one, *
And then with a right sickly grin
He said, "With you, I can be honest.

THE PLANTING OF A TREE
[Arbor Day, October 23.]
Wouldst thou upbuild a home where
sweet wild lives are nested,
Glad with the sound of song, quick
with the flash of wings,
Where the soft broods may rock,
warm-housed and unmolested,
Deep in the leafy nooks, through all
the changeful springs?
Or wouldst thou rear an arch of
noblest grace and splendor.
Lifted in air and light, shaped by
the sun and storm.
Moved by the wandering wind, swayed
by each Influence tender,
Yet by the hand of life molded to
steadafst form?
Wouldst thou make day more fair, and
night more rich and holy.
Winter more keenly bright, and
summer's self more dear,
Grant the sweet earth a gift, deep
rooted, ripening slowly,
Add to the sum of Joys that bless
the rounded year?
Go. then, and plant a tree, lovely in
sun and shadow,
Gracious in every kind —maple and
oak and pine.
Peace of the forest glade, wealth of
the fruitful meadow.
Blessings of dew and shade* here
after shall be tltlne!
For though thou never see the joy thy
hand hath granted,
Those who shall follow thee thy
generous boon may share.
Thou shall be Nature's child, who her
best fruit hath planted,
And each of many a spring shall
And thy gift more fair.

Since the entering wedge of
spollsman.ship has run wild at
Washington. The civil service law
has been rent to shreds, to atoms
by Its professed friends. A Demo

the diplomatic, postal and other
branches of the Government ser

There have been scandals in
numerable.
Only recently Jcre S. Black, "of

in his county had been commercial
