THEM ENDOUS REACTION
WE wonder what the Palmer-
McCormick bosses would have
said in the event of the nomi
nation of Mr. Dimmiek as tho
Republican candidate for United States
Senator. He also ran in an open State
wide primary with Dr. Brumbaugh
and others and it would have been
just as reasonable to say that the Re
publican candidate for Governor was
the selection of Dimmiek as to insist,
as McCormick and others are doing, j
that he was put on the ticket by Sen- i
ator Penrose.
Dr. Brumbaugh went squarely and
fairly before the people and was nomi
nated by more than 2 50,000 voters. It
is as absurd as it is silly to say that
Brumbaugh owes his nomination to
Penrose or to anyone else save the
Republican voters.
It is especially nervy for "William
Draper Lewis. who was nominated for
Governor by the Washington party, to
desert his followers at the command
of ex-Senator Flinn and then indulge
in criticism of Dr. Brumbaugh on the
score of bossism. Only a day or two
ago the Public ledger, the independ
ent Philadelphia newspaper which is
supporting Brumbaugh while opposing
Penrose, called I.ewis to account for
, having asserted in a speech that Dr.
Brumbaugh was elected superintend
ent of public schools by political
bosses. "This is another of the false
hoods which will react in Dr. Brum
baugh's favor. The allegation is un
questionably false," says the Ledger.
As a matter of fact, he was elected by
a majority of only one vote against
the opposition of the politicians.
It has been the studied effort of
Palmer and McCormiqk and their
fusion allies to deceive the voters as
to Dr. Brumbaugh's Independence by
endeavoring to have it appear that
somehow he is the servant of' a po
litical machine. Their scheming has
utterly failed and the people are show
ing in all parts of the State their re
sentment over the unfair and ma
licious slanders of a malignant and
desperate opposition.
"As Governor," say the Ledger, "he
will display the same firmness, reso
luteness, inflexible will and dauntless
courage as he has during his entire
connection with the public schools."
It has been the hope of the Demo
cratic machine that misguided preach
ers and temperance leaders, bam
boozled by designing men, would be
able to create a sort of religious frenzy
throughout the State in the interest
of its ticket, but the strong protest of
able and clear-minded ministers and
others has resulted In. a stampede
toward Dr. Brumbaugh instead of
away from him.
Defamation may seem to win for a
« little while, but the people are fair
when they learn the facts, and the
outrageous attacks upon the distin
guished Republican candidate who will
be the next Governor have reacted
with tremendous force.
Every day of employment that can be
given the men of Harrisburg who are
likely to be out of work this winter
should begin now. It has been ex
tremely fortunate that the weather con
ditions were favorable for continuance
of the public improvement undertak
ings so late into the Fall. There is still
much to be done on most of these big
jobs and as many men as it is possible
to employ to advantage ought to be
given the opportunity to earn a living.

JOIN THE Y. W. C. A
EVERY woman and girl in the
city, irrespective of station,
should be a member of the Har-
rlsbtlrg Young Women's Chris
tian Association.
with the exception of
the church itself, can a girl find such
helpful influences as in the Christian
Association. The members are In
nearly every Instance active in the
•work of the church as well. It is as
sociation with such women—women
who are engaged in the better things
of life—that the girl will find inspira
tion and guidance.
Now that the new Young Women's
Christian Association home has been
completed, the association has equip
ment to care for at least one thou
®uid more members. To that end
MONDAY EVENING, . HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH OCTOBER 26,1914.
! the present members are now con
ducting a whirlwind campaign. And
every one of the thousand should be
obtained without extraordinary ef
fort. It is really a privilege for any
one to belong to an oirganizatlon with
such a splendid home as the associa
tion now has, and with the added in
ducement of gymnasium equipment
membership should appeal to many
hundreds of girls.
Governor Tener and Dr. Samuel G.
j Dixon were engaged in the interesting
exercises Incident to the opening of the
great State tuberculosis sanitarium at
Hamburg on Saturday while the Pal
mer and McCormick aggregation were
busy (elsewhere ripping up Pennsylva
nia and splattering mud over the splen
did achievements of a great Common
wealth.
.
RIVER FRONT PROMENADING I
MUCH has been written and
said of the wonderful possi
bilities of Harrisburg's Im
proved water front, but, if the
ever-increasing crowds of promenad
ers each Sunday brings forth as the
"front steps" near completion are at
all indicative of civic pride in the
city-long improvement, then the half
has not yet been told.
For instance, there was yesterday's
host of strollers. The weather man,
perhaps, wasn't as nice as he might
! have been, but the brand he did pro
vide sufficed to bring out those who
wanted to see how well the job Is pro
gressing. Incidentally it provided a
| new promenade. But there was an
other reason.
Before the river park was improved
and the depressed walk was laid out,
Mr. Harrisburger and his wife and
baby strolled along Front street; af
ter the park paths offered a more at
tractive place to walk, the promenad
ers crossed the street and took to the
park, and now the popularity of even
the park path is passing. For the
average Harrisburger likes the Sus
quehanna and likes to get as close to
it as possible—be he youthful canoe
ist or gray-haired stroller who watches
the sunsets with increasing sympathy
as the years go by.
"A man's past is the only way by
which people may judge bis future," ob
served McCormick in a recent outburst
of wisdom. This doubtless applies to
his recent professions of love for the
worklngman.
CONGRESS QUITS
BUSINESSMEN, harried to the
breaking point, will breathe
easier now that the Democratic
Congress has adjourned for a
season. To be sure, a special session
is threatened for November, but all
concerned —big and little business and
the thousands of men without employ
ment—are hopeful that the voters will
make clear on election day their dis
satisfaction with Democratic experi
menting and that a halt may then be
ordered.
Referring to the backing and filling
of the national lawmakers, the Even
ing Bulletin of Philadelphia observes:
These closing scenes are consist
ent with, and characteristic of, the
entire session, members of the. ma
jority running off on a tangent,
following radical schemes of legis
lation and only brought back into
line and driven in safe and sane
paths by the combined castlgation
of protesting public opinion and
the natural conservatism of the
President himself, which has modi
fied his own original program, not
once, but several times.
But this is the Congress which
asks for a verdict of approval from
the people at the elections next
month —Its final act the passage of
a burdensome war-tax bill, to cover
a deficit when this country is at
peace with all the world and must
be the great trading post of the na
tions of the world which are at
war with one another—and unable
to make a decorous exit because of
the uncontrollable members of the
majority. In Senate as well as
House, who want to raid the Fed
eral Treasury—of cash or bonds—
for the relief of a Southern cotton
interest, regardless of the great
agricultural interest of the West
and the grat manufacturing inter
ests of the North, which suffer alike
In the depression of war but are
expected to help themselves. This
Congress is goin~ to the people on
Its record, nnd it is consistent to
the last.
To some extent the European war
has diverted attention from the doings
of the departing statesmen, but enough
has been observed by the people to
guide them in passing judgment.
Fine campaign of misrepresentation
and mud-slinging. But worst of all and
Inconceivably unfair is the attitude of
the men now In control of the Anti-
Saloon League toward Dr. Brumbaugh,
the Republican candidate for Govornor.
GILDAY OPPOSES McCORMICK
WHEN a candidate for office pro
fesses to be an undying friend
of labor he should be certain
that his attitude toward labor
before he became a candidate and a
seeker after votes is consistent with
his present pretentions.
It is unfortunate for the Democratic
candidate for Governor that represen
tatives of organized labor in Pennsyl
vania were familiar with his lack of
sympathy with them throughout his
business career. Patrick Gilday, a
well-known official of the United Mine
Workers, has written a letter in which
he strongly condemns Mr. McCormick
as a mine owner whose alleged inter
est in a worklngman's compensation
law does not square with his attitude
toward the widows and children of
miners killed in the mines.
Having declined the nomination of
the Personal Liberty party for Gover
nor, Dr. Brumbaugh is now accused by
his slanderous opponents of waiting un
til the official ballot was certified. Hard
to please the little mudslingers.
It's common rumor that the Demo
cratic machine has abandoned all hope
of electing Palmer, and will now try to
put McCormick across. And Palmer was
so Impressive.
Those persons who have l>e«r» «*ktKr
Dr. Brumbaugh foolish questions have
learned the truth of the old adage that
the burnt child dreads the fire.
A LASTING IMPRESSION
[From the Sharon Herald.l
The impression made by McCormick
was not deep, but It will be lasting.
Ills appearance here and his miserable
attempt at speechinaking made more
votes for Brumbaugn.
I EVENING CHAT I
Colonel Prank K. Patterson's re
port on the result of the trifle matches
held at Mt. Gretna by the National
Guardsmen last summer show that
Harrisburg soldiers are sttll able to
shoot, and the names of some men
who have been upholding the reputa
tion of the State Capital appear pretty
often. A. L. Dunn, Jr., of the old City
Grays, now a member of Company D,
led the Fourth Brigade team in the
brigade match and the next three
men to him are Sewell E. Cutshall, of
Company F; V. B. Kennedy, of Com
pany I, and Leo Shaffer, of Company
L. Cutshall is also listed in the indi
vidual match firing. Dunn also took
the Governor's medal, which was \\on
by an Eighth Regiment man, Cleve
land A. Stoops, of Company C, Chain
bersburg, last year, and which was
won nine years ago by the old reliable
Robert Gamble, who played ball,
tossed baggage and drilled apd shot
around here for years before going
to Philadelphia. In addition to Dunn,
Kennedy and Shaffer had a record in
the match.
The movie places that are showing
war pictures have the call just now,
according to a man who makes it a
point to visit the shows during the
week and who does not confine his
explorations to the brightly-lighted
palaces in tho central part of the city,
but who goes to the Hill and West
End. He says that the people ask at
the door when the war pictures are
gding to be shown and that when they
;are billed there is always a good crowd
throughout the afternoon and evening.
"Mazie the Muffln-baker" ana "The
Armor-platemaker's Revenge" are not
in It when a series of pictures from
"The Front" is shown. No matter
which army or what place is shown a
crowd is ready to greet It.
People in Market street were
amused on Saturday night by a con
test between chestnut venders. There
are numerous men selling the nuts
and Saturday a young American un
dertook to put some of the foreign
born men who make a business of sell
ing peanuts, chestnuts and every other
kind of nut out of business. He
strolled along, calling out his wares,
and when he passed one of the regu
lars he announced: "Buy yer ches'-
nuts. These ain't got worms." The
first time he did that the man with the
stand sized hiin up and when he passed
again and informed the public that
worms were not to be found In his
wares the man from the south of
Europe got back. And this is what
he said: "Desa nut guarantee. No
cold storage."
When the new parkway gets fin
ished, which it is to be hoped will be
a matter which the city fathers will
take up very soon, it will afford one
of the most unique rides to be had
around any city. There are fine rides
to be taken through York, Reading,
Easton, Wllliamsport, Wilkes-Barre
and Erie, but there are no rides
around them such as the parkway will
offer. In fact, there are to be found
in the countryside right beside some
of Pennsylvania's cities very few such
pretty, bits as the Cameron parkway,
the pioposed link between Paxtang
and the Reservoir, and some of the
Country near the State Hospital. The
Paxton creek valley, which might be
put into the parkway, offers some of
tho most attractive drives if one knows
how to get to them.
Men connected with the fiscal de
partments of the State government
are wondering if the Commonwealth
will be able to' make up with receipts
from taxation of corporations and
from other sources the -absence of the
revenue that formerly came from per
sonal property taxes. This tax was
made a purely State tax by the Legis
lature of 1913, and instead of the
State receiving one-fourth of $5,312,-
175, as It did last year, It will get
nothing. The State has been making
some pretty close collections of State
taxes on capitol stock, loans and other
corporation items lately, and the set
tlements are well advanced, but
whether the amount lost by the new
act can be made up is uncertain.
People throughout the State are
evidently demanding a good bit of
oleomargarine If the number of li
censes issued for the sale of the sub
stitute for the product of the dairy
cow is anything to go by. Close to
500 retail licenses have been issued
in the last six weeks and the total for
the year is going to be a record
breaker. Oleo is now sold in practi
cally every county in the State, where
as ten years ago it was not sold in
more than fifteen, at least openly.
Shirley B. Watts, the Bell Telephone
company's manager in this city, is be
coming famous.
The other day two of his friends
met in Market street and one said to
the other: "Did you hear about Shir
ley Watts? He's making a great suc
cess as a book publisher. The other
day he put out 10,000 books and they
went like hot cakes."
"What sort of books Is he putting
out?"
"Oh, telephone directories for the
Fall season."

BUSINESS MEN IX POLITICS
(New York Sun)
Practical men of affairs are going
to have a large opportunity for a long
time to come to dovelop and make ef
fective their qualities of leadership in
the formation of public opinion about
the nature and privileges of business.
Politicians of the sort that has been
shaping popular thought on this sub
ject have a tremendous surprise await
ing them in the lessons which the
European war will teach. Events are
already showing that politicians do
not make the safest guides to getting a
living and accumulating a compe
tence, and there will be further per
suasive demonstrations of the fact that
the survival of business depends on
the hope of profit and not on fantastic
projects of vote coaxing politics.
A WASTE OF TIME
[From the Mercer Dispatch.]
The Democratic candidate for Gover
nor declared to a Mercer audience that
his Republican opponent. Dr. Martin G.
Brumbaugh, is a straddler who "stands
with one foot in the church and the
oibor in the saloon." The statement Is
not O!,!«• foolish, but false, and Its in
tent w&w evidently malicious as to
disgust mom a' those who heard it.
Even many Det»i.,era's declared that
they could not support candidate who
would so slander a man 0.. cunh ster
ling ability and high morals C Dr.
Brumbaugh. It is a safe guess tile.*
Mr. McCormlck's visit to Mercer was t>
waste of time and energy. For every
vote he won he lost two by not guard
ing his intemperate tongue.
CAMPAIGN ENTERS
ON HOME STRETCH
Candidates and Big Guns All Out
For the Closing Battle of
Remarkable Year
ESTIMATES REPUBLICAN
New York and Philadelphia Papers
Say That Pennsylvania Will
Go Republican
Pennsylvania's campaign enters up
on the home stretch to-day. All of the
big guns have been brought up and
from noon to-day until late Saturday
night the roar of oratory will be heard
throughout the Keystone State. Even
Sunday will hardly be omitted because
there will be sermons on politics next
Sabbath and on Monday, Republicans
and Democrats plan to have their
farewell meetings.
Dr. Brumbaugh began his final
week to-day by a visit to Montgomery
county where he will spend the day.
To-morrow he goes into Berks and
Lebanon, Wednesday into Lancaster
and Lebanon and Thursday In Dau
phin. Friday he will be in Philadel
phia and Saturday in Chester.
•ucCormlck and Palmer will be in
Philadelphia to-night, Northumberland
county to-morrow; Allentown and
Philadelphia Wednesday and the Cum
berland Valley Thursday, it being the
plan tot have McCormick here to bask
in the sunshine of Roosevelt Thurs
day morning. Saturday McCormick
will end twenty-two meetings with a
speech at the Democratic rally here.
Colonel Roosevelt takes hold of the
Washington party campaign today at
Easton and will be in thirty-three
counties before he quits. He conies
here Thursday morning.
Careful estimates made by trained
newspapermen in Philadelphia and
New York do not bear out the claims
of Democratic news
papers or cam p a i g n
TlUs is a managers. The New
Republican York Herald of yes-
Year in State terday announces that
Pennsylvania is going
Republican. The Her
ald is noted for its forecasts. The New
York World, which is Democratic if
anything, says bluntly that Penrose is
going to be re-elected, and that Re
publicans will gain congressmen. The
World's estimate is one of the most
carefully compiled ever made. The
Philadelphia Press in an estimate of
the gubernatorial election based upon
canvassing extending over a period of
two weeks and including estimates
from every county says that Brum
baugh will have 97.300 plurality. It
says that Brumbaugh will carry forty
one counties with 124,000 plurality
and McCormick twenty-five, with 26,-
700 plurality. The Philadelphia Led
ger is earnestly advocating Dr. Brum
baugh's election and says he will win.
Dr. Brumbaugh said in Philadelphia
Satufday: "If half we hear Is true this
is going to be a great Republican
year in Pennsylvania." Senator Pen
rose said yesterday for the Philadel
phia Inquirer: "There is going to be
a Republican landslide."
Dr. Brumbaugh addressed notable
meetings in Pittsburgh on Saturday
night and declared that he felt satis
fied at the outlook.
I The candidate spent
the day whirling about Brumbaugh
that county. In his Strong in
closing speech he said Speaking
with considerable earn
estness: "The people
of Pennsylvania are fair enough and
honorable enough not to lend them
selves to any trickery or debauchery
of the franchise in Pennsylvania, and
let it be remembered that the candi
dates who are speaking to you here
now are not parties, to any fusion or
confusion of issues in this campaign.
When you nominated me as your can
didate for Governor you nominated an
individual that will never buy out or
sell out. I ask Jau from now until
electioA time just to press the truth
into the minds of the people of Penn
sylvania and particularly of those in
this great county of Allegheny, for
if the people get the truth before
them I am not one whit worried about
the outcome. You may be interested
for a m*nute In noting another fact.
Since I spoke to you on the twenty
sixth of August I have been constant
ly talking to the people of Pennsylva
nia and I have enjoyed it. It has been
a real treat, rather a great education
and a splendid experience, and I have
come through it all prouder of the
great State of Pennsylvania even than
i ever have been before. I have not
at any time or at any place entered
into any slanderous, besmirching,
mud-slinging campaign in Pennsylva
nia. There are plenty of great issues,
Hue principles, splendid educational
propagandas to consider, and life is
too short to use the tongue of bitter
ness and malice and hate and slan
der." • i
Stung by the denunciation of the
strong arm collection methods of the
emissaries of the Democratic State
machln e, Roland S.
Morris, the Democratic
Morris Gets State chairman, last
Rattled Over night put out a state
j the Money ment of almost a thou
sand words in which
, he says that there Is
really no danger of the campaign be
ing smothered by McCorniick's dol
lars. This is the first time anyone
around the Democratic headquarters
has even chirped about money and
Morris continues his record breaking
action by saying that really all that
has been collected thus far, (mark the
thus far) Is $62,315.50 and It was col
lected from 2,100 persons. He says
that money Is needed to man the polls
on election day. No doubt he knows
where to get it. It will be recalled
that during the primary campaign the
Democrats at a certain stage pleaded
poverty.
! The New York Sun, whose pre-elec
tion estimates, have in the past been
notable for their accuracy, gives the
following summary of
the Pennsylvania po-
New York lltlcal situation:
Sun Says "Pennsylvania is end-
Penrose ing one of the most
I nte resting tights in
years, with every In
dication that the entire Republican
ticket will be elected by majorities ap
proaching normal Republican years.
While the battle against Penrose has
been determined and effective, no old
time political observers will predict
his defeat. Penrose stands for protec
tion, the State is now in the midst of
an increasing industrial paralysis and
thousands of Democrats and Indepen
dent Republicans who helped give
Roosevelt 450,000 votes in 1912 will
cast their votes for Penrose, voting
fcr him for economic reasons. The
bipartisan machine and the followers
of Michael J. Ryan, defeated for the
Democratic gubernatorial nomination,
are openly assisting the Republicans
and will contribute probably 75,000
votes to Penrose and Dr. Martin G.

1 EDITORIAL COMMENT 1
We cannot recall a campaign in
which the professed reformers of this
State were more malicious, vindictive,
slanderous and false than they have
been this year. Outwardly they are
fair to look upon, but inwardly they
are as noisome and repulsive as the
ancient sepulchres.—Altoona Tribune.
Well, the Long Congress is about to
take a rest. For the sake of every
body's bread and butter, may It give
business a permanent one! New
York Sun.
McCormick scored the present ad
ministration because the Legislature
had appropriated $26,000,000 more than
there was revenue, and Governor Tener
for slashing the appropriation. In direct
contrast to this is the action of the
Democratic Congress in spending SIOO,-
000.000 more than there was revenue
and the fact that President Wilson DID
NOT pare the appropriations to meet
the Income, but turned about and levied
an additional war tax. —Sharon Herald.
"HE HAS A VERY VILE TEMPER"
Under, the above caption the Al
toona Tribune, a newspaper always
fair in political discussion, says:
"Thus far the Tribune has said little
derogatory to Vance McCormick, Dem
ocratic candidate for Governor. It
has called attention to the fact that,
he spent about $33,000 himself prior
to the primaries, or within $7,000 or
the entire salary of the Governor of
Pennsylvania for the term. It hears
that his agents spent about as much
more, and there has certainly been a
very liberal expenditure since the
nominations were made. While money
is something Mr. McCormick has al
ways had in liberal quantities, some
folks believe he has been handing out
entirely too much for a reformer. And
then Mr. McCormick has devoted
much of his time lately to ferocious
tirades against Dr. Brumbaugh and
his hired agents have followed his ex
ample. It makes a very had showing
for the Democratic standard bearer
that he should have such a nasty tem
per and say such ugly things about
a goof man."

Plain Letters by a Plain Man
Messrs. Vance C. McCormick and A.
Mitchell Palmer,
Gentlemen:
"Our platform is not molasses to
catch lies. It means what It says,"
said Candidate Wilson, August 15,
1912.
Why then has every plank of
that platform been ignored by the
Democratic administration at
Washington?
That platform adopted at Balti
more, July 2, 1912, contained the
following plank:
"We favor a single Presidential
term, and to that end urge the
adoption of an amendment to the
Constitution making the President
of tile United States ineligible f6r
re-election and we pledge the can
didate of this convention to this
principle." ,
Could language bo more ex
plicit?
How has that positive pledge
been kept?
Has a Democratic Congress which
has been practically in continuous
session for a year and a half, ever
since a few days after the inaugu
ration of the candidate of the Bal
timore convention as President,
taken any steps to Inaugurate the
amendment to the Constitution to
which the party was pledged?
Has the candidate who was
pledged to the principle of a single
Presidential term In his numerous
appearances before Congress to
urge various acts of legislation,
said a single word looking to the
carrying out of the promise made
in the above plank of the Baltimore
platform?
When Vice-President Marshall,on
September 6, 1914, announced that
REDUCTION OF FOOD COST
[New York Sun]
That the average reader has grown
weary of discissions on the subject of
the high cost of living is not surpris
ing in view of the academic character
or impracticable methods that are
brought out in the press. The result
is that he either glances at them In
a perfunctory way or passes them over
altogether. The most recent advice
comes from no less an authority than
the United States Agricultural Depart
ment, which very wisely urges the in
creased production of fowls and small
animals to reduce the cost of that
most expensive article of food, meat.
Attention is drawn to the fact that
while the Ohio farm averages 130
fowls, the South Carolina farm aver
ages 13. Simple and practical as is
this counsel, it requires time for its
execution, so that while the chicken
grows the man may starve.
Unfortunately, the average American
is obsessed with the idea that butcher's
meat is absolutely indispensable for
his efficiency and health. Phychologi
cally he is fairly correct, but he needs
to know that the reason is found in
the fact that meat contains more pro
tein, which is the chief muscle and
nerve straining element in food, in
the most concentrated form. It Is far
more important for him to know, how
ever, that this valuable ingredient is
quite as abundant in the meat of fish
as in other meats. The following in
formation is conveyed in a recent bul
letin of our City Health Department
and is of vital import:
How to Cut the Cost of liivinK
"The human body requires certain
kinds of foods called 'proteins' in or
der to make up for wear and tear of
the body machinery; that is, in order
to rebuild bones and muscles and
nerves.
"You can get this 'protein' by eating
meat, but this is very expensive, and
other forms of food are' much cheaper
and equally nourishing. Those of us
who live near the sea should eat far
more Hsh than we do. It is excellent
for building up the body and is rich
in 'protein.' Just look at the follow
ing comparison:
Fish
"Haddock contains 18 per cent, pro
tein; sells for 7 cents a pound.
"Herring contains 19 per cent, pro
tein; sells for 8 cents a pound.
"Bluefish contains 19 per cent, pro
tein; sells for 10 cents a pound.
"Codfish contains 18 per cent, pro
tein; sells for 12 cents a pound.
"Eels contain 18 per cent, protein;
sells for 15 cents a pound.
Beef
"Chuck contains 19 per cent, pro
tein; sells for 24 cents a pound.
"Rump contains 19 per cent, pro
tein; sells for 28 cent§ a pound.
"Round contains 21 per cent, pro
tein; sells for 28 cents a pound.
"Sirloin steak contains 19 per cent,
protein; sells for 30 cents a pound.
"Ribs contain 18 per cent, protein;
sells for 26 cents a pound.
"Since you eat meat for the protein
it contains, why not eat it In the form
of fish, and save money?"
To this we would add that while the
cost of various foods is related to its
protein contents, popularity is due less
to food value than to flavor. The Sage
Foundation has demonstrated that the
school child who spends five cents for
lunch obtains six times more food
value from bread than from a ham
sandwich and nine times less from
pineapple than from apple pie. We
are but children of a larger growth in
the matter of food selection. Meat Is
the most savory and strength produc
ing food, hence the most sought after.
In view of the food value of meat and
lish being equal and the cost of the
latter only one-third of the former it
behooves' every good housewife to en
hance the flavor of the cheaper food.
Every good cook knows that much of
the savor of fish is lost by deferred
serving and that fish cooled and put
away immediately after cooking re
tains its flavor better than that which
is kept warm for service. The reason
doubtless lies In the loss of juices by
evaporation. Any salad served with
fish enhances its savoriness. Cucumber
salad is popular but needlessly expen
sive in winter.

Woodrow Wilson would be a candi
date for another term, did Presi
dent Wilson repudiate the an
, nouncement as contrary to the
pledges of the platform which he
said was "not molasses to catch
flies" which "meant what It said?"
Has any one of the orators, who.
In 1912, hailed the Baltimore plat
form as a new charter of freedom
for tho American laborer, de
nounced this failure or any other
failure of the party to live up to
the pledges of that platform?
Have the present Democratic can
didates in*"Pennsylvanla explained
why this plank of the platform has
been ignored; or why a tariff which
was to have reduced the cost of
living has not done so; or why,
after denouncing "the profligate <
waste of money wrung from the
people by taxation," the present
administration has been more lavish
In its expenditures than any In the
history of our Government, and
has just Imposed more than SIOO,-
000,000 of new and burdensome tax
ation?
Is It not true that President Wil
son, himself, prior to his inaugur
ation on March 4, 1913, sidetracked
the question of a constitutional
| amendment limiting the President
' to a single term, by a lengthy let
ter to A. Mitchell Palmer, opposing
such an amendment?
Talk about molasses and fly*
catching!
Yes, that was a highly success
ful job in the invisible government
line when candidate-elect Wilson,
by a sure shot killed off the pro
posed constitutional amendment
against a second term.
But there was none of the "piti
less publicity" about It that the
President has dwelt on so fondly
time and again. The facts only
leaked out, by chance, October,
1914.
Is such juggling a strong argu
ment with Pennsylvania voters to
place their State under the control
of the Democracy?

HONESTY IN ADVERTISING.
Honest Policy the Only Success
ful Flan.
Business that would attain
leadership in a competitive field
must advertise. A big manu
facturing concern doing busi
ness everywhere and especially
one whose goods last so long
that they sell each consumer in
frequently. cannot afford the ex
pense of having men everywhere
on the ground to solicit orders
at Just the right moment. This
causes a demand for the goods
and big selling or jobbing con
cerns gladly do the rest of the
work of delivering the goods and
collecting for them. This makes
the best and most economical
way to do business.
Advertising effects a saving
by economically paving the way
for tho sales manager to make
sales quickly and easily by cor
respondence or the call of his
salesmen. It picks out the real
prospective customers and leaves
out those who are not inter
ested.
There are honest and dishon
est kinds of advertising. Facts
clearly and honestly stated are
the best selling arguments In
the world and make a healthy
growth In business. Once a cer
tain rate of progression has been
attained on an honest basis, the
business will generate its own
power and ascend the hill of suc-
If, on tne other hand, the
goods are misrepresented
through dishonest advertising,
the confidence of the people in
that house will be shaken and
ruin will soon come from the
expense of the advertising with
out the necessary volume ol'
business from happy customers
to pay for it. Such experiences
affect the confidence of every
one in advertising in general,
and Injure, to a certain extent,
the honest advertiser.
Advertising, to be a success,
must be honest, not only in big
things, but in little things as
well. The people may be fooled
part of the time, but the time
soon comes when a dishonest ad
vertiser finds out he can't fool
the people very long. This ac
counts for most failures in ad
vertising.
